Background: Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is considered both a profibrotic biomarker in Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) and a biomarker of atrial remodeling in Atrial Fibrillation (AF). The Left Atrial Volume Index (LAVI) is an echocardiographic parameter considered an index of left atrial remodeling. Aim of this study was to analyse the relation of Gal-3 levels with both LAVI and N-Terminal Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with HFpEF and Persistent AF (HFpEF-PAF). Methods: Serum Gal-3 and NT-proBNP, along with LAVI were measured. A comparison of such parameters between 49 patients with HFpEF-PAF and 53 patients with HFpEF and sinus rhythm (HEpEF-SR) was made. Results: Galectin-3, NT-proBNP and LAVI were significantly higher in patients with HFpEF-PAF compared to HFpEF-SR (23±7 ng/mL vs 19.5±8.5 ng/mL, p=0.027; 3,406.8±2,321.9 pg/mL vs 1,459.6±1,372 pg/mL, p<0.001; 40.1±11mL/m² vs 28.4±7.7 mL/m², p<0.001, respectively). In HFpEF-PAF, Gal- 3 showed a significant correlation with both NT-proBNP (r=0.40, p=0.0038) and LAVI (r=0.28, p=0.044). We found a significant association between patients with higher levels of Gal-3 >17.8 ng/mL and HFpEF-PAF (p=0.002). Finally, a multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex and traditional clinical AF risk factors showed that Gal-3 >17,8 ng/mL (OR 3.862, 95% CI 1.416 to 10.532, p=0.008) was an independent predictor of PAF. Conclusions: In patients with HFpEF-PAF Gal-3 was higher and related with both NT-proBNP and LAVI. The latter correlation may be relevant because LAVI is considered an index of left atrial remodeling. Moreover, higher levels of Gal-3>17,8 ng/mL were an independent predictor of PAF.
Accidental poisoning of children in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Dawson K. P. , Harron D. , McGrath L. , Amirlak I. , Yassin A.
Published: September 2021

A prospective study of childhood accidental poisoning was conducted in the Al-Ain district of the United Arab Emirates. The results showed that accidental poisoning was frequent but morbidity was low and there were no deaths. The pattern of poisoning is similar to that in western Europe and north America, with household chemicals and medicines predominating. Analgesics and antihistamines were most frequently ingested. The frequency of accidental poisoning in Al-Ain merits the introduction of a public awareness campaign and increased use of child-resistant containers

Published: September 2021

The influential role of family in the outcome of chronic schizophrenia is well documented. Because families have become the primary caretakers, this study was designed to train parents of chronic schizophrenics to better manage their offspring. The sample comprised 40 parents whose offspring were admitted to a psychiatric ward from April to June 1996. A self-developed index [Patient Management Skills] was used to measure changes in the parents’ expertise in handling their children before and after a 1-month training programme. After training, more parents had the necessary skills to manage the verbal and non-verbal behaviours of their children. Our results bear out the importance of the family’s supportive role in producing a better outcome for schizophrenic patients

Genotyping human platelet alloantigens (HPA 1-5) in Saudis from Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia
Authors: Al Sheikh I. , Rahi A. , Al Khalifa M.
Published: September 2021

In this study we report for the first time the distribution of human platelet alloantigens [HPA]in Saudis. These antigens are implicated in the pathophysiology of alloimmune thrombocytopenia. We collected blood samples from 84 healthy male Saudi blood donors. DNA isolated by salting-out and ethanol precipitation was amplified for genes HPA 1-5 using the polymerase chain reaction/sequence specific primer method. We found high HPA-1 polymorphism similar to Caucasians. HPA-4 polymorphism in Saudis was, however, greater than in Caucasians, and more similar to that of the Japanese. These results suggest that both these two HPA systems may be clinically important in Saudis

Published: September 2021

We aimed to determine whether birth-weight-specific mortality rates and causes of neonatal death could identify interventions needed to reduce neonatal mortality rates. Data were collected from three hospitals responsible for 99% of births in Al-Ain Medical District. There were 8083 live births weighing >/= 500 g, of which 54 [0.67%] died. The mortality rate among very low-birth-weight infants was higher in this district than from centres with more advanced neonatal technology and resources. Problems of preterm births, lethal malformations and asphyxia accounted for 95% of deaths and half of the malformations were autosomal recessive syndromes. Improved management of lower-birth-weight infants, asphyxia and genetic counselling could lead to a further decline in neonatal mortality rates

“SCRAPYARD GARDENS”, OR ROMANTIC GRAFFITI AS PUBLIC STATEMENTS
Authors:   Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Stroganov Mikhail V. ,   Kosygin Russian State University
Published: September 2021

Romantic graffiti come in two types: confessional and directive. Confessional graffiti are spontaneous, these are an outburst of feelings. A confession of love is usually accompanied by a name, but if the inscription is made right below the addressee’s window, the name is lacking. It is often substituted by a pet name which is more specific for the speaker than a name. A confession is expressive, it praises the addressee and expresses adoration of them. Congratulations are usually related to a birthday or to a birth of a child. Directive graffiti are well-thought-out; they sometimes feature quotes from popular texts. These graffiti include wishes of good morning, good cheer and health; pleas to forget one not and to come back, to date and to marry; pleas for forgiveness. They are written on asphalt, underfoot, on the house, scrapyard and waste-lot walls, nevertheless, both the addressees and addressants remain oblivious to the stylistic cacophony, they place more value on the publicity of the message. The graffiti are supposed to make the relationship between the addressee and the addressant known, which increases their social status. They do not aim for esoteric language: the inscription must be clear to everyone. Genuine intimate relationships are formed in public. Romantic graffiti resemble ditties in this respect.

Territorial Use Rights for Fisheries-Reserve (TURF-Reserve) adalah salah satu bentuk dari pendekatan pengelolaan sumber daya perikanan berbasis hak yang dapat meningkatkan efektivitas dan upaya konservasi ekosistem terumbu karang di kawasan konservasi perairan (KKP). Dewan Adat Suku Maya dan masyarakat adat di Teluk Mayalibit mendeklarasikan Kelola Perikanan Adat (KPA), suatu bentuk pengelolaan sumber daya perikanan yang mengombinasikan hak ulayat laut, kearifan ekologi tradisional, dan prinsip-prinsip TURF-Reserve. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengukur kondisi kesehatan ekosistem terumbu karang untuk melihat efektivitas KPA dalam menjaga kondisi ekosistem terumbu karang di Teluk Mayalibit. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Point Intercept Transect (PIT) dan transek sabuk ikan untuk mengumpulkan data kesehatan terumbu karang. Kondisi ekosistem terumbu karang diukur menggunakan lima indikator dengan ambang batas ekologi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan nilai biomassa ikan karang dan proporsi biomassa ikan herbivor dari kondisi sebelumnya, hal ini mengindikasikan ekosistem terumbu karang yang sehat. Nilai rasio makroalga: karang keras hidup serta rasio fished: unfished yang menurun jika dibandingkan dengan kondisi sebelumnya mengindikasikan ekosistem terumbu karang yang berstatus moderat. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, disimpulkan bahwa ekosistem terumbu karang di Teluk Mayalibit masih berada dalam kondisi yang sehat dan aktivitas perikanan karang masih terkendali di dalam batas yang mendukung kelestarian. Hal ini memberikan indikasi bahwa KPA masih efektif dalam menjaga kondisi ekosistem terumbu karang dan membantu upaya konservasi serta pengelolaan sumber daya perikanan karang di Teluk Mayalibit.

Currently, several satellite-precipitation products were developed using multiple algorithms to estimate rainfall. This study carried out using Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks (PERSIANN) product over seven agro-climatic zones of Tamil Nadu during the northeast monsoon (NEM) season of October to December for 2015-2017 (three years) against 118 rain-gauges data of Tamil Nadu Agricultural Weather Network (TAWN). The performance compares aggregated seasonal scale of rainfall using continuous (CC, RMSE, and NRMSE) statistical approaches. It was observed that PERSIANN is accurate in the high-altitude hilly zone and the Cauvery delta zone. For 2015, 2016, and 2017, the correlation values were 0.77, 0.52, and 0.71, respectively. The highest RMSE value was measured for northeast zone (NEZ) during 2015 (222.17 mm), and the lowest was determined for 22.63 in the High-altitude hilly zone (HAHZ) during 2016 and NRMSE had less errors during all three seasons. The study concluded that the PERSIANN data set could be useful substitute for rain-gauge precipitation data.
Chase out or unfortunate coping strategy? Analysis of urban settlement of the homeless addicts at public parks
Authors: Aikins Amoako Asiama , Ka Wang Kelvin Lam , Hua Zhong
Published: September 2021

Extant studies have labelled persons-with-addiction and the homeless as ‘invaders’ of public parks, aggressive/violent with psychiatric and medical disorders, a burden to the society, and transmitters of most deadly airborne or chronic diseases. Literature subtly discuses that such people must be chased out of the public. Yet, such studies have not concurrently analyzed from the viewpoint of urban parks users, the persons-with-addiction and the homeless people what needs to be done to improve the situation. Therefore, the study aims to explore whether problematic communities and subcultural factors make the disadvantaged resort to negative copping strategies when their legal means are blocked: how the other park users respond to the homeless drug addicts’ hardship: and the possible suggestions from all the park users. This is done with reference to social disorganization and Sub-culture theory, and through ethnographic research approach (8 months field observation) and in-depth-interviews with 27 participants. Our study found that persons-with-addiction and the homeless are not always aggressive/violent/harmful as they have been labelled. But only disadvantaged individuals who desire to emulate the ideals and ambitions of the middle class but lack resources to achieve such success. Being overwhelmed with such frustrations from their dilemmas, they consider themselves ‘double-failures’ and retreat into drug addiction and find abode in the public spaces. We therefore conclude that persons with addiction and the homeless people are not always violent and criminal persons who are to be chased out of public parks. But only disadvantaged individuals who need help for choosing a negative coping strategy.

An Idea of Higher Education Renewal
Authors: Liudvika Drazdauskiene Marija
Published: September 2021

Beginning with the briefest reference to the state of higher education today, this paper overviews moral and philosophical concepts of and disposition to education in ancient Greece from the works of Plato and Aristotle, takes a summary view of the subjects taught, sums up the subject content of liberal arts and the principles of rhetoric. The author assumes that even if a dedicated return to the classical ideals may never happen in higher education today, a few concrete ideas might be helpful. With reference to concrete works of classical authors, a suggestion is made to stop never-ending reforms in universities, to recover the teaching of such subjects as style in language and literature programmes, to renew the subjects of history, philosophy and logic and to introduce memory-based learning while paying tribute to classical antiquity and regaining local traditions.
Retro-Digitization of Croatian Pre-Standard Grammars
Authors: Horvat Marijana , Kramarić Martina
Published: September 2021

In this article, we will present the rich linguistic heritage of the Croatian language and our attempts to ensure its preservation and presentation to the general public by means of the "Retro-digitization and Interpretation of Croatian Grammar Books before Illyrism ‒ RETROGRAM" project. There is a long tradition of grammatical description in the history of the Croatian language. The first grammar book of the Croatian language was written at the beginning of the 17th century and the first grammar book written in Croatian was compiled in the middle of the 17th century. In later years, when literary and linguistic activity were transferred from the Dalmatian area to the northern and eastern part of Croatia, the Latin model for the description of the Croatian language was still present, even though German was also used. There were a large number of grammars written up to the second half of the 19th century, which are considered pre-standard Croatian grammars. They are the subject of research within the project "Pre-standard Croatian Grammars" at the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics. This research proposal "Retro-digitization and Interpretation of Croatian Grammar Books before Illyrism" aims to create a model for the retro-digitization of the chosen eight Pre-standard Croatian Grammars (written from the 17th until the 19th century). The retro-digitization of Croatian grammar books implies the transfer of printed media to computer-readable and searchable text. It also includes a multilevel mark-up of transcribed or translated grammar text. The next step of the project is the creation of a Web Portal of Pre-standard Croatian Grammars, on which both the facsimiles and the digitized text of the grammars will be presented. Our aim is to present to the wider and international public the attainments of the Croatian language and linguistics as an important part of Croatian culture in general.
