Published: November 2020

Candlenut shell (Aleurites moluccana Willd) is a waste produced from processing candlenut plants with a fairly hard texture. The use of candlenut shells as fertilizer, especially in Central Sulawesi, has not been done so much. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of calcium (Ca) and potassium (K) in candlenut shells. Calcium and potassium levels were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results show that the average calcium level in the candlenut shell is 0.315 ± 0.09%, while the average potassium level is 0.090 ± 0.01%. The results of Ca and K in candlenut shell are expected to be used as raw material for fertilizer production.

Study on drainage layer strategy for improving performance of glass fibrous coalescing filter
Authors: xu chengwei , xiao chenglong , yu Yan , si xiaodong
Published: November 2020

The drainage layer strategy is a common method for improving filtration
performance of coalescing filter. In this study, using the commercial
glass fibrous filters, the influence of sub-high efficiency drainage
layers on high efficiency coalescing filters were investigated
experimentally. The efficiency of coalescing filter slight increases,
whereas the total wet pressure drop reduces 0.32 kPa after assembling
drainage layer. In addition, the influence of pore size, thickness and
wettability on performance were evaluated. While the pore size of
drainage layer decrease, the wet pressure drop reduces and quality
factor increase. Likewise, the thickness of drainage layer also has
positive effect on filtration performance. By contrast, the wettability
has a weak affect on the filtration performance. As different coalescing
filter with the same drainage layer, the improvement in the filtration
performance increase with the decrease of pore size difference between
the coalescing and drainage layers.
Sequence and evolutionary analysis of bacterial ribosomal S1 proteins
Authors: Deryusheva Evgenia , Machulin Andrey , Matyunin Maxim , Galzitskaya Oxana
Published: November 2020

The multi-domain bacterial S1 protein is the largest and most
functionally important ribosomal protein of the 30S subunit, which
interacts with both mRNA and proteins. The family of ribosomal S1
proteins differs in the classical sense from a protein with tandem
repeats and has a “bead-on-string” organization, where each repeat is
folded into a globular domain. Based on our recent data, the study of
evolutionary relationships for the bacterial phyla will provide evidence
for one of the proposed theories of the evolutionary development of
proteins with structural repeats: from multiple repeats of assembles to
single repeats, or vice versa. In this comparative analysis of 1333 S1
sequences that were identified in 24 different phyla; we demonstrate how
such phyla can independently/dependently form during evolution. To our
knowledge, this work is the first study of the evolutionary history of
bacterial ribosomal S1 proteins. The collected and structured data can
be useful to computer biologists as a resource for determining percent
identity, amino acid composition and logo motifs, as well as dN/dS ratio
in bacterial S1 protein. The obtained research data suggested that the
evolutionary development of bacterial ribosomal proteins S1 evolved from
multiple assemblies to single repeat. The presented data are integrated
into the server, which can be accessed at http://oka.protres.ru:4200.
Resource preferences and the emergence of individual niche specialization within populations
Authors: Sol Daniel , Lapiedra Oriol , González-Lagos César , Caceres Miquel De
Published: November 2020

Growing evidence that individuals of many generalist animals behave as
resource specialists has attracted research interest for its ecological
and evolutionary implications. Although variation in resource
preferences is critical for developing a general theory of individual
specialization, it remains to be shown whether diverging preferences can
arise among individuals sharing a similar environment and whether these
are stable enough to be ecologically relevant. We addressed these issues
by means of common garden experiments in feral pigeons (Columba livia),
a species known to exhibit resource specialization in the wild.
Food-choice experiments on wild-caught pigeons and their captive-bred
descendants showed that variation in food preferences can easily arise
within a population and that this variation may represent a substantial
fraction of the population niche. However, a cross-fostering experiment
revealed that the genetic and early common-environment components of
food preferences were low, reducing their stability and eroding niche
variation in the long-term.
The prevention and management of Frey's syndrome and a step by step guide through the nonsurgical treatment with Botulinum toxin
Authors: Fiedler Lukas
Published: November 2020

Firstly described by Lucy Frey in 1923 the “Frey’s syndrome” is
characterized by sweating and flushing in direct response to
mastication. The mechanism is aberrant regeneration of postganglionic
parasympathetic neurons from the auriculotemporal nerve and
Acetylcholine secretion by a masticatory stimulus. This entity occurs in
up to 65% following lateral parotid resections and less commonly after
neck dissection or facelift procedures. This article aims to list
possible surgical and non-surgical treatment options of this iatrogenic
entity but should focus on the treatment with botulinum toxin A and
provide a step by step guide from the Lugol-Iodine-Starch test to the
botulinum toxin A (BoNTA-ONA) injection within the affected area.

Published: November 2020

Subtilase is a potent cytotoxin that was first described in O113:H21
strain in Australia as a plasmid- encoded cytotoxin (subAB1).
Subsequently, chromosomal variants including subAB2-1, subAB2-2, and
subAB2-3 were described. In the present study a collection of 101 STECs
isolated from various sources in Iran (2009-2016) were analyzed for the
detection of different genes encoding the subtilase variants, plasmidic
and chromosomal virulence genes, together with the phylogroup and
serogroups. Overall, 57 isolates (56.4%) carried at least one variant
of subAB. Most strains from small ruminants including 93% of sheep and
96% of caprine isolates carried at least one chromosomally encoded
variant (subAB-2). In contrast, 12 cattle isolates (24%) only harbored
the plasmid encoded variant (subAB1). STEC strains from other sources
including deer, pony and humans were positive for subAB-2-1 and/or
subAb2-2. Concerning the virulence markers, some strains showed an
association with hosts the bacteria were isolated from. In particular,
tia was associated with sheep, goats and pony isolates and astA gene was
present in deer, pony and goats and terD was only found in deer and pony
isolates. Only cattle STEC carried espP and epeA, the important markers
of pO113 plasmid. Some genes were widespread among strain of various
sources like ehly, iha and lpfO113 and some genes were not detected such
as efa1, toxB and katP. Most strains belonged to phylogenetic group B1
(89.47%), but five strains from cattle, deer, pony and a goat were
assigned to A phylogroup. Most cattle strains belonged to O113, while O5
was just detected in ovine isolates, and O128 and O113 were present in
caprine strains. In conclusion, the present study reveals the presence
of potentially pathogenic genotypes among LEE-negative isolates and some
host specificity related to subtilase variants and other virulence
markers that may aid in source tracking of STEC during outbreaks.

Authors: Abo-Dahab S.M. , Abd-Alla A. , kilany araby
Published: November 2020

A unified mathematical model of three-phase-lag in a compressed rotating
isotropic homogeneous micropolar thermo-viscoelastic medium based on a
ramp type thermal shock is developed. An application of this model is
carried out to resolve the problem of a perfectly conducting half-space
subjected to certain boundary conditions in the presence of an
electromagnetic field. Lame’s potentials and normal mode analysis
techniques are employed to get the general analytical solutions.
Specific attention is paid to explore the impact of the rotation,
magnetic field, ramp time, as well as initial stress on the
distributions of temperature, displacement, stress, and induced electric
and magnetic distribution. The findings show that the impact of the
rotation, magnetic field, viscous, ramp parameter, initial stress, and
phase-lag on the micropolar thermo-viscoelastic medium is noticeable.

Published: November 2020

Objectives We aimed to summarize the clinical presentations, therapeutic
approaches, and outcomes of type B intramural hematoma (IMHB) patients
with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods Patients with
uncomplicated IMHBs were included between January 2016 and January 2018
and divided into two groups according to whether or not they had DM. Cox
proportional hazard analysis was utilized to investigate the risk
factors for aortic-related mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was
used to estimate cumulative mortality and aortic-related mortality.
Results A total of 149 patients were included and were divided into the
two groups (DM group [n=60] and non-DM group [n=89]). Patients
in the non-DM group underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair
treatment more frequently (12% vs 2%, P=0.028) and had a higher
reintervention rate during the follow-up (9 in 81 patients, 11% vs 2%,
P=0.043). There were significant differences between the two groups
regarding the aorta-related mortality rate during the acute phase (9%
vs 0%, P=0.042) and the all-cause mortality rate (22% vs 7%,
P=0.011). Ulcer-like projection (ULP) development (during the acute
phase) (hazard ratio [HR], 1.07; 95% confidence interval [CI],
1.01-1.31, P=0.008), C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (HR, 1.92; 95% CI,
1.51-2.49, P<0.001) and MMP-9 levels (HR, 16.82; 95% CI,
7.52-28.71, P<0.001) were associated with an elevated risk for
aorta-related mortality. Conclusions IMHBs without DM are not benign and
have a considerably high aortic-related mortality rate. ULP development
(during the acute phase), CRP levels and maximum MMP-9 levels are
associated with an elevated risk for aorta-related mortality.

Published: November 2020

Coronavirus disease2019(COVID-19) is a pandemic with no specific
therapeutic agents and substantial mortality. It is critical to find new
treatments. Convalescent plasma, donated by persons who have recovered
from COVID-19, is the acellular component of blood that contains
antibodies, including those that specifically recognize SARS-CoV-2.
Therefore, for COVID-19 patients, Convalescent plasma, could prove
lifesaving, such as improving the clinical symptoms, increasing the
neutralizing antibody, decreasing the viral load , reducing the death
rate, with safety and without seriously ADE. Meanwhile, it is urgent to
perform large sample randomized controlled trials to confirm the
transfusion timing, dosage, frequency and actively prevent adverse
outcomes that may occur, establishing a standard procedure for treatment
from convalescent plasma collection, preservation, transport, to
transfusion.
Enhancement of ultrafiltration of milk proteins by applying twisted tapes: A sensitivity analysis using a response surface methodology
Authors: Popovic Svetlana , Ilicic Mirela , Gáspár Igor
Published: November 2020

This paper presents intensification of the ultrafiltration of milk proteins by application of twisted tapes as turbulence promoters to minimize membrane fouling. The aim was to examine the influence of operating conditions and twisted tape dimensions on the alleviation of flux and the consumption of specific energy. A twisted tape was inserted in the ultrafiltration membrane (50 nm pore size) to alleviate turbulence and minimize fouling. The response surface methodology was used for the sensitivity analysis of the effects of operating conditions on the responses. The analysis showed that the linear effect of the aspect ratio of the twisted tape has a dominant significant effect on flux improvement. The linear effect of cross-flow rate has a positive dominant effect on the specific energy consumption. The linear effect of concentration and the mutual effect of aspect ratio and transmembrane pressure are statistically significant for both responses. By properly adjusting the operating conditions, a high flux improvement of 300 % could be reached with a specific energy consumption below 1.0 kW h m-3 using a twisted tape of an aspect ratio of 1.0 and imposing low transmembrane pressure.
CEPT1-Mediated Phospholipogenesis Regulates Endothelial Cell Function and Ischemia-Induced Angiogenesis Through PPARα

Published: November 2020

De novo phospholipogenesis, mediated by choline-ethanolamine phosphotransferase 1 (CEPT1), is essential for phospholipid activation of transcription factors such as peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor α (PPARα) in the liver. Fenofibrate, a PPARα agonist and lipid-lowering agent, decreases amputation incidence in patients with diabetes. Because we previously observed that CEPT1 is elevated in carotid plaque of patients with diabetes, we evaluated the role of CEPT1 in peripheral arteries and PPARα phosphorylation (Ser12). CEPT1 was found to be elevated in diseased lower-extremity arterial intima of individuals with peripheral arterial disease and diabetes. To evaluate the role of Cept1 in the endothelium, we engineered a conditional endothelial cell (EC)–specific deletion of Cept1 via induced VE-cadherin-CreERT2–mediated recombination (Cept1Lp/LpCre+). Cept1Lp/LpCre+ ECs demonstrated decreased proliferation, migration, and tubule formation, and Cept1Lp/LpCre+ mice had reduced perfusion and angiogenesis in ischemic hind limbs. Peripheral ischemic recovery and PPARα signaling were further compromised by streptozotocin-induced diabetes and ameliorated by feeding fenofibrate. Cept1 endoribonuclease-prepared siRNA decreased PPARα phosphorylation in ECs, which was rescued with fenofibrate but not PC16:0/18:1. Unlike Cept1Lp/LpCre+ mice, Cept1Lp/LpCre+Ppara−/− mice did not demonstrate hind-paw perfusion recovery after feeding fenofibrate. Therefore, we demonstrate that CEPT1 is essential for EC function and tissue recovery after ischemia and that fenofibrate rescues CEPT1-mediated activation of PPARα.

OBJECTIVE

Diabetes is an important risk factor for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but little is known about the marginal effect of additional risk factors for severe COVID-19 among individuals with diabetes. We tested the hypothesis that sociodemographic, access to health care, and presentation to care characteristics among individuals with diabetes in Mexico confer an additional risk of hospitalization with COVID-19.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted a cross-sectional study using public data from the General Directorate of Epidemiology of the Mexican Ministry of Health. We included individuals with laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 between 1 March and 31 July 2020. The primary outcome was the predicted probability of hospitalization, inclusive of 8.5% of patients who required intensive care unit admission.

RESULTS

Among 373,963 adults with COVID-19, 16.1% (95% CI 16.0–16.3) self-reported diabetes. The predicted probability of hospitalization was 38.4% (37.6–39.2) for patients with diabetes only and 42.9% (42.2–43.7) for patients with diabetes and one or more comorbidities (obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease). High municipality-level of social deprivation and low state-level health care resources were associated with a 9.5% (6.3–12.7) and 17.5% (14.5–20.4) increased probability of hospitalization among patients with diabetes, respectively. In age-, sex-, and comorbidity-adjusted models, living in a context of high social vulnerability and low health care resources was associated with the highest predicted probability of hospitalization.

CONCLUSIONS

Social vulnerability contributes considerably to the probability of hospitalization among individuals with COVID-19 and diabetes with associated comorbidities. These findings can inform mitigation strategies for populations at the highest risk of severe COVID-19.

Critical Readings of Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim
Authors: Orkusa Ayila
Published: November 2020

There are much scholarly readings of Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim. This paper randomly picks some of the papers according to the various ways the scholars have studied the text for a review. Such critical readings have been examined here, considering the topical, thematic as well as theoretical and conceptual frameworks that have guided the studies. By so doing the paper answers the question on ways through which Lord Jim is read. The paper therefore shows that source study, reader response investigation, aesthetics analysis, modernist view, postcolonial readings, religious and moral approaches, stylistics, queer reading and other heterologous readings have dominated the scholarly works on Lord Jim. The conclusion is that these readings have assumed Lord Jim offers codes for interpreting society or life. Thus, most of the critics read the text as philosophy, while others read the texts as allegory or a testimony of the author or his society. But such interpretations have often offered a less clear view about the texts and as a result, many accuse the author of being obscured.  However, few studies have approached the text as an art. The study remains important as it draws together many of these readings that have differently treated Lord Jim (literature) both as ideology, discourse, and art.

Lecturas de Spinoza: hacia una torsión materialista de las prácticas jurídicas
Authors: Ortiz Juan Emilio
Published: November 2020

El presente escrito indagará en algunas lecturas contemporáneas de Spinoza con una finalidad específica: pensar una torsión materialista para reflexionar sobre el Derecho con el fin de conectar al dispositivo con su dimensión real. El objetivo será cuestionar la fundamentación idealista de las prácticas jurídicas mostrando el anclaje de las instituciones en el movimiento afectivo de los individuos y las sociedades. De esta manera, será posible explorar una fundamentación del Derecho que no lo reduce a ser un mero instrumento de dominación, sino una herramienta democrática cuya potencia es imprescindible para generar transformaciones necesarias.
Republicanismo y participación ciudadana en el diseño político-jurídico de la nueva Constitución de la República de Cuba de 2019
Authors: Quevedo Joanna González
Published: November 2020

Este ensayo tiene como objetivo argumentar cómo una adecuada construcción teórica de la recepción de los principios del republicanismo romano en Cuba, puede contribuir al perfeccionamiento jurídico de la participación política del ciudadano, como esencia del diseño político-jurídico nacional. Como consecuencia de lo anterior, se imponen varias interrogantes: ¿cómo se aprecia la presencia o no de los principios del republicanismo romano en la nueva Constitución del año 2019 y otras disposiciones normativas referentes al derecho de participación?, ¿Qué deficiencias fueron superadas en la concepción ordenadora de la participación política del ciudadano, en consonancia con las bases republicanas y democráticas sobre las cuales se asienta, en el diseño político-jurídico nacional? Esta última interrogante es vital para que no fracase el proceso de cambios. No basta sólo tener en cuenta los fundamentos romanistas presentes en el Magno texto, sino que también la fundamentación, desde una visión iusrepublicana, ha de proponer modificaciones en la concepción ordenadora de la participación política, para contribuir al perfeccionamiento de la democracia en la República de Cuba.
Feminismos jurídicos y pluriculturalidad: ensayando una visión en tiempo de pandemia
Authors: Bauger Erika Silvina
Published: November 2020

En este marco de “pandemias” en plural, mis expectativas respecto a este trabajo han sido analizar, problematizar y resignificar los textos seleccionados, para que nos ofrezcan muchas categorías conceptuales y miles de interrogantes desafiando una futura investigación. Los textos elegidos para este ensayo nos conducen hacia otros textos a los fines de determinar desde dónde y desde qué contextos se interpretan y construyen realidades. La sola lectura de los distintos posicionamientos teóricos frente al caso “Fabián Ruiz” desde la antropología, el derecho y la filosofía nos hacen advertir y preguntarnos ¿cómo se construye teoría feminista en la Argentina? Y como sostienen Lerussi y Costa (2018): ¿la producción de conocimiento es una relación de centro-periferia, de recepción-resignificación de las ideas de los feminismos estadounidenses y europeos?
Más allá del pluralismo jurídico indígena
Authors: Salgado Juan Manuel
Published: November 2020

Me interesa explorar y de algún modo precisar algunas aristas del pluralismo jurídico en América Latina para estrechar su vinculación con las luchas por la vigencia de los derechos humanos y sociedades democráticas e igualitarias. Aunque en términos generales suele utilizarse la expresión pluralismo jurí­dico para aludir al hecho de la coexistencia de varios sistemas de derecho, en este trabajo prefiero restringir el concepto a los supuestos de reconocimiento por el estado, en condiciones de igualdad, de más de un orden jurídico. No lo hago por un afán de definir mejor tratando de precisar alguna esencia última, sino porque limitando el tema a la coexistencia en el estado de un modo que no implique subordinación de un sistema respecto del otro puedo resaltar los aspectos emancipatorios presentes en un estado plurinacional, tomando las referencias a una pluralidad de hecho, o sociológicas, sólo como soporte de propuestas de reconocimiento político.
Pueblos sin estado y sus luchas históricas en el contexto de la periferia europea y el Mediterráneo
Authors: Gómez Aritz García
Published: November 2020

El desarrollo de los estados-nación, tanto su conceptualización como su desarrollo, están inmerso en el desarrollo capitalista. Se inició en los países del núcleo duro del poder en la Europa del siglo XVII al XVIII. Inglaterra tuvo su revolución durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVII; poco antes los Países Bajos se habían independizado de la Corona de los Austria, y en especial de la rama Hispánica; y Francia desarrollaría su concepto de nación con la revolución francesa, que consagró a la nación francesa oponiéndose a las otras culturas y pueblos que se encontraban en el territorio de los Borbones franceses como bretones, alemanes en las siempre disputadas Alsacia y Lorena, occitanos, catalanes, vascos o corsos, haciendo que fuera la presunta República libertadora la que construyó su estado-nación alrededor de la cultura francesa, la de la élite en el momento de la revolución.

Economía popular, producción popular y desafíos tecnocientíficos
Authors: Martínez Enrique Mario
Published: November 2020

Este trabajo desarrolla una breve historia de la génesis del espacio denominado “economía popular” y expone las debilidades notorias de la política pública para entender, abordar y proponer soluciones para los problemas de los más débiles. Es inevitablemente provocador, ya que cuestiona el uso del término “economía popular” con su alcance actual y propone en su lugar el concepto de “producción popular” para ampliar su alcance social y su valor como instrumento transformador. Presenta una propuesta de nueva caracterización abarcadora y un esbozo de formulación metodológica para cambiar la mirada, hacia una economía basada en la atención de necesidades comunitarias, que podamos llamar economía popular. Discute finalmente el posible aporte del complejo de ciencia y técnica nacional al desarrollo de la producción popular.
How to play … popular music: Didactic action and the display of musical expertise in online tutorials
Authors: Jost Christofer
Published: November 2020

Based on sample evaluation, this article investigates didactic actions and the display of expertise within the field of popular music-related online tutorials distributed on YouTube. In a first step, didactic activity and musical expertise are discussed with reference to institutional, interactional and media aspects in order to gain a comprehensive image of what influences the teaching of popular music. By means of the sample evaluation – the sample concentrates on highly-requested YouTube channels – basic insights into the specificity of the didactic situation induced by popular music-related online tutorials are to be provided. The analysis pays particular attention to the interlacing of knowledge organization, performance and audio-visual production. Overall, it can be shown how specific rules regarding the representation and gratification of expertise emerge in the YouTube media environment, examples of which are the “professional” appearance of the instructors and the compartmentalization of popular music-related cultural knowledge.
USO DA SOMATOTROPINA BOVINA RECOMBINANTE (BSTr) EM VACAS MESTIÇAS: UMA REVISÃO
Authors: Silva Coralline Barbosa , Ruas José Reinaldo Mendes
Published: November 2020

A maioria dos estudos sobre o uso da somatotropina bovina recombinante (rbST) foram conduzidos em países de clima temperado utilizando animais de genética Bos taurus e todo o protocolo de utilização foi pautado para tais animais e extrapolados aos mestiços (Bos taurus x Bos indicus) em ambientes tropicais. No entanto, existem características diferenciadas da curva de produção de leite e alguns aspectos fisiológicos que diferem os mestiços dos taurinos, sendo assim, estabelecer padrões específicos para uso do rbST para vacas mestiças podem melhorar a eficiência, reduzir custos e expandir o uso da tecnologia para os sistemas brasileiros. Estabelecer ajuste da dosagem, o intervalo, o melhor tempo para início e término da aplicação, avaliar o melhor retorno financeiro do uso para o sistema produtivo assim como as respostas produtivas e reprodutivas das vacas pode trazer adequação do uso da tecnologia no sistema de produção de gado mestiço leiteiro. O objetivo da revisão é identificar critérios a serem considerados para uso do rbST em vacas mestiças a fim de potencializar a estratégia do uso do mesmo. O rbST promove notório aumento da produção de leite e mais detalhes do protocolo de uso do hormônio para vacas mestiças necessita ser avaliado já que algumas características da curva de leite e capacidade produtiva são diferentes para animais cruzados.
ELETROQUIMIOTERAPIA COMO TRATAMENTO DE CARCINOMA ESPINOCELULAR EM FELINO: RELATO DE CASO
Authors: Scheffer Spelfer Katyani , Barra Camila Neri
Published: November 2020

O carcinoma de células escamosas (CCE) é uma neoplasia maligna resultante da diferenciação de ceratinócitos, que acomete principalmente animais de pelagem clara e pouco pigmentados, decorrente da exposição à radiação ultravioleta. Apresentam evolução lenta e baixo caráter metastático, porém, em alguns mais avançados pode ocorrer acometimento metastático de órgãos adjacentes. Os tratamentos utilizados no CCE incluem cirurgia, radioterapia, quimioterapia, crioterapia e eletroquimioterapia (EQT). A eletroquimioterapia se mostra bastante eficaz no tratamento desse tumor, dentre outros e comumente não apresenta efeito colateral. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar o caso de um felino atendido na Clinica Veterinária Bichos S.A. no município de Foz do Iguaçu, diagnosticado com Carcinoma de Células Escamosas e portador do vírus da imunodefiência felina (FIV). O tratamento adotado para a neoplasia foi a eletroquimioterapia, resultando em remissão parcial das lesões, após vinte dias da EQT. Com objetivo de investigar possível acometimento ósseo, foi realizada radiografia de face, onde a mesma apresentou área de lise óssea em arco zigomático e maxila esquerda, indicativo de infiltração neoplásica. A radiografia torácica apontou presença de área nodular sobrepondo lobo pulmonar caudal direito, indicativo de processo metastático. Em virtude do prognóstico reservado, os tutores optaram pela eutanásia do mesmo.
