Purpose. To characterise phenotypic heterogeneity of renal macrophage infiltration and its relationships with clinical and medical history data in patients who died at different times after myocardial infarction (MI).

Material and Methods. We analyzed the material (kidney sections) collected from patients (n = 30) who died from type 1 MI. Renal macrophage infiltration was assessed by the immunohistochemistry method using antibodies to CD68, CD80, CD163, CD206, and stabilin-1.

Results. The study included patients with MI aged 74.8 ± 9.8 years. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was diagnosed in 87% of patients; the creatinine level was 115.1 ± 79 μmol/L at admission to hospital. The study showed a significant heterogeneity of macrophage phenotypes in renal tissue: the counts of CD163+, CD68+, CD206+, CD80+, and stabilin-1+ cells were 55 (27; 55), 30 (27; 56), 4 (2; 6), 3 (2; 5), and 2 (1; 3) per field of view, respectively. The CD163+ and CD68+ macrophages were predominant cell types in patients who died within three days after MI onset (p < 0.05). In case of fatal outcome that occurred after three days of MI, the count of CD163+ cells was the highest and exceeded the number of СD68+ cells, which, nevertheless, prevailed over other cell phenotypes (p < 0.05). Starting from day 4 of MI, the counts of CD206+ cells decreased from 6 (5; 8) to 2 (1; 2) similarly to a decrease in CD80+ count from 5 (3; 5) to 2 (1; 2) (p < 0.05). The rate of adverse cardiovascular complications and the severity of coronary lesions were associated with CD80+ and CD206+ cell counts; the development of left ventricular aneurysm was associated with the numbers of stabilin-1+ and CD163+ cells.

Conclusion. Renal macrophage infiltration was characterized by a pronounced cellular heterogeneity that depended on the timing of death after MI. The CD163+ and CD68+ cells predominated at the early stages of MI; the CD163+ cells were predominant at the later stages. The CD80+ and CD206+ cell counts changed quantitatively, decreasing from day 4 of MI. The presence of multiple correlation relationships between the cells of macrophage lineage in the kidneys and the development of adverse cardiovascular complications in patients with MI provides rationale for further studies.

Background. There is currently no commonly accepted strategy for limiting the reperfusion injury that occurs after revascularization in patients with myocardial infarction. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a promising cardioprotective method.

Material and Methods. Patients with acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n = 87) were included in an open-label prospective randomized controlled trial. Control group comprised patients with STEMI who underwent only primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) (n = 44). Patients of intervention group (n = 43) underwent PPCI and remote ischemic perconditioning combined with postconditioning (RIC). The efficacy of RIC was assessed based on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging data.

Results. The medians of left ventricular (LV) infarct size were significantly higher in patients of control group: 44.8 (33.6; 55.5) versus 52.7 (35.5; 73.9) mL (p = 0.039) at day 10 after STEMI and 34.0 (25.8; 39.8) mL versus 46.0 (32.8; 55.0) mL six months after STEMI in control and intervention groups, respectively (p = 0.004). The groups of patients did not differ in the sizes of area at risk relative to the total LV myocardial volume: 40 (35; 45) and 43 (34; 49)% in control and intervention groups, respectively (р = 0.232). The groups significantly differed in the ratios of infarct size to area at risk: 70.3 (65.1; 86.6)% in control group versus 63.5 (52.7; 72.0)% in intervention group (р = 0.014) as well as in the myocardial salvage indexes: 29.7 (13.5; 34.9)% in control group versus 36.5 (28.0; 47.3)% in intervention group (р = 0.014). The study showed the tendency to greater LV myocardial salvage in intervention group versus control group at six-months follow-up (р = 0.073). The groups significantly differed in the medians of microvascular obstruction volume: 1.9 (1.4; 2.9) mL in intervention group versus 2.5 (1.8; 8.1) mL in control group (p = 0.049) as well as in the proportions of microvascular obstruction in the LV myocardium: 0.94 (0.79; 1.37)% in intervention group versus 1.50 (0.89; 3.66)% in control group (р = 0.046).

Conclusion. The RIC method combined with PPCI contributed to the limitation of infarct and microvascular obstruction sizes and was associated with an increase in the myocardial salvage index in STEMI patients.

Mérito y honor en el Nuevo Reino de León durante el siglo XVIII. El sacerdocio ministerial en la familia Báez Treviño
Authors: Rodríguez Cárdenas Javier
Published: July 2021

A través del estudio de los Báez Treviño, una familia del septentrión novohispano, en este artículo expongo la importancia de la historia de la iglesia para entender el desenvolvimiento de la monarquía hispánica en una región de frontera. Utilizando archivos públicos y privados, inicio con un análisis de las acciones y las redes políticas y de parentesco que volvieron a esta familia una de las más poderosas del Nuevo Reino de León; y posteriormente estudio la carrera sacerdotal de cuatro de sus miembros. Concluyo que estas trayectorias ejemplifican algunas de las formas más comunes en que los sacerdotes del periodo novohispano aspiraban a ser exitosos: profundizando en los estudios religiosos; preocupándose por su feligresía; aprovechando sus grados académicos para aspirar a cargos más importantes; y siendo un hábil negociante a partir de la acumulación de tierras y propiedades familiares.
Potential and Hypothesized Determinants of the Positive and Negative Effects as a Result of Pornography Use in Dyadic Relationships
Authors: Leibel Isha
Published: July 2021

In this literature review, I will be looking at the different potential and hypnotized determinants of positive and negative effects pornography has on dyadic relationships. Specifically, I recognize three of the most frequently mentioned and studied areas of concern that are discussed in the body of literature. These three areas are: attitudes towards pornography, partnered, solitary and/or non-existent pornography use, and frequency of pornography use. A plethora of mixed effects are found, both positive and negative, and suggestions for future research is made. Theses suggestions include three additional areas to focus on, which include: content of pornography, transparency of pornography use between partners, a more in-depth look at different relationship commitment levels, and how all three of these relate to positive and negative impacts on a dyadic relationship.

Introduction. The use of wearable hardware and software systems to control bladder filling is considered one of the most important technologies for remote monitoring in patients with neurogenic urinary disorders. Materials and methods. A search, analysis and systematization of literature was carried out in the PubMed, e-library and Google Scholar databases using the keywords  neurogenic urination disorders ,  neurogenic bladder ,  ultrasound diagnostics ,  ultrasound examination ,  monitoring ,  monitoring  – total 211 sources, from which 46 were selected for writing the article. Theses and their abstracts, as well as conference abstracts were excluded from the analysis. Results. Ultrasound monitoring and bioimpedansometry, or a combination of both, allows for a non-invasive assessment of bladder volume, and the use of modern technologies, such as wireless communications and smartphone applications, allows the patient to maximize the individualization of the bladder emptying rhythm. Complicating moments in the use of these technologies are the conservatism of doctors, patient compliance, the lack of methodological developments and recommendations for the use of these monitoring technologies. Discussion. The monitoring of bladder filling allows to avoid unnecessary catheterizations reducing the risk of urinary tract infections. Also it allows forming a wake-up reflex in a child with enuresis when he or she feels an urge to urinate. These technologies are currently considered experimental. Additional research is required before introducing them into clinical practice. Conclusions. The use of wearable hardware and software systems for monitoring bladder filling and special applications in smartphones in patients with neurogenic urinary disorders is an important step in finding solutions for each individual patient. Clinical monitoring studies are needed in routine urological practice.

Authors: Taha Alaa , Mousa Khalid M.
Published: July 2021

The intention of this study was to explore the efficiency and feasibility of adsorption of Reactive Blue dye (H3R) used in textile industries using Raw wheat straw (RWS) and Modified wheat straw (MWS) as a low-cost adsorbent. Wheat straw was modified using cationic surfactant (CTAB) to study the improvement of dye removal. The properties of Raw and Modified wheat straw are studied by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses to determine the functional groups and the nature of their surface. Continuous experiments were done by fixed-bed column to study the characteristics of the breakthrough curve using different bed heights and flow rates. Results showed that the breakthrough time increases with increasing bed height and decreasing flow rate, in turn results into higher removal capacity. Results also showed a higher flow rate lead a lower adsorption capacity due to insufficient residence time. Bed depth service time model (BDST), Adam-Bohart and Thomas models were used to predict the breakthrough curves and to determine the adsorption capacity of the column. The highest bed capacity of 12.95 and 32.2 mg/g for MWS was obtained using 10 mg/L, 10 cm bed height at 10 mL/min and 30 mL/min respectively.

Sausage is a food ingredient that comes from pieces of meat that are ground and seasoned, and put into a casing so that it is oval in shape.ÃÂ  One type of meat that can be processed into sausage is rabbit meat. This study aims to determine the effect of the level of substitution of mung bean flour on the organoleptic value and the number of bacteria in rabbit meat sausage. The research materials used were 3000 g rabbit meat, mung bean flour, skim milk, and a severala of spices. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments, namely the addition of 0%, 15%, 30% and 45% mung bean flour, with 4 replications. The results showed that the level of substitution of mung bean flour had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the color, taste and texture of rabbit meat sausage and had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the aroma and number of bacteria. The addition of 15% mung bean flour gave the best organoleptic values, namely: Color 5.28 (light), aroma 5.31 (good), taste 5.95 (tasty), texture 5.99 (soft) with a bacterial count of 2.00 x 103 cfu/g, which is below the standard for bacterial contamination of sausages set by SNI 1995, which is 1x 103 cfu/g.

O diagnóstico diferencial das cardiomiopatias que evoluem com hipertrofia ventricular é, com frequência, desafiador. Dados demográficos, características fenotípicas, evolução e exames complementares são parâmetros que podem auxiliar. No período neonatal, a doença de Pompe e a cardiomiopatia hipertrófica (CMH) são mais comuns. Em crianças e adolescentes, a doença de Fabry e a ataxia de Friedreich são as mais encontradas. Em adultos, as mais frequentes são CMH, cardiopatia hipertensiva, doença de Fabry (4ª década de vida) e amiloidose em idosos. A herança genética pode interferir na maior prevalência entre os sexos, a exemplo da doença de Fabry que está ligada ao cromossomo X. O acometimento pode não ser isolado no coração, por exemplo, presença de angioqueratomas, córnea verticilata, acroparestesias e síndrome nefrótica na doença de Fabry e púrpura periorbitária, opacidade vítrea, olho seco, síndrome do túnel do carpo, polineuropatia periférica e macroglossia na amiloidose cardíaca. Um eletrocardiograma com sobrecarga ventricular e padrão sobrecarga (strain) são comuns na CMH e na doença de Fabry. A preservação apical (apical sparing) no ecocardiograma e na cintilografia com pirofosfato grau 3 reforçam amiloidose. Os padrões de realce tardio na ressonância magnética com localização inferolateral basal e o rastreio pelo mapa T1 baixo são fortemente associados à doença de Fabry. Apesar dos avanços nos métodos diagnósticos, a ferramenta principal persiste sendo a alta suspeição clínica.

As distrofias musculares constituem um grupo heterogêneo de desordens hereditárias que podem envolver o músculo cardíaco em diferentes graus. Em muitas dessas situações a cardiomiopatia resultante é a manifestação mais grave da doença, comprometendo o prognóstico e a qualidade de vida e sendo comumente a causa do óbito. O envolvimento cardíaco manifesta-se predominantemente como cardiomiopatia dilatada e arrítmica, com alta morbidade e mortalidade. Dentre as distrofias musculares que cursam com envolvimento cardíaco, destacam-se: distrofia muscular de Duchenne e de Becker; distrofia miotônica; distrofia muscular de Emery-Dreifuss; distrofia muscular do cíngulo dos membros e distrofia muscular fáscio-escápulo-umeral. O acometimento cardíaco detectado por exames de imagem geralmente antecede os sintomas clínicos, considerando-se a dificuldade de locomoção desses pacientes. A ressonância magnética cardiovascular tem contribuído para o diagnóstico precoce do envolvimento cardíaco em várias distrofias musculares, permitindo o tratamento precoce e, possivelmente, a redução da mortalidade.
RE-ORIENTATION OF LEGAL POLICY FOR USING OF FOREIGN WORKERS IN INDONESIAN JUSTICE
Authors: Laksana Andri Winjaya , Bagus Jarot Jati
Published: July 2021

The existence of foreign workers, which so far has not been balanced with clear legal arrangements, has in its development led to problems of legal certainty in the field of employment. This writing uses doctrinal research or normative juridical research as for the research results obtained that the re-orientation of the implementation of legal policies on the use of foreign workers has not been able to achieve justice. This is because the legal politics of the use of foreign workers has resulted in reduced job opportunities for domestic workers, which in turn resulted in unemployment and poverty problems. Weaknesses in the implementation of the politics of using foreign workers are the shortcomings in the form of time limits and the amount of use of foreign workers is not clearly regulated in the politics of foreign labor law in Indonesia, then the weakness in the case of dualism in work permits for foreigners in Act No. 13 of 2003 and Act No. 6 of 2011.

Authors: Grande Francesco
Published: July 2021

This study investigates definiteness marking in earlier stages of Arabic, based on a corpus of Classical Arabic idols' names attested in technical prose. The latter mentions not only Arabic idols, the names of which bear definite markers, but also the tribal units that worshipped them. Relying upon attestations of this sort, the present study investigates the areal distribution of definiteness marking in earlier stages of Arabic. Finally, it compares the results of such an investigation with the current knowledge on the areal distribution of definiteness marking in earlier stages of Arabic, based on epigraphic and dialectological evidence.
Poetry in the Era of Social Networks: The Case of Faraḥ Šammā
Authors: De Blasio Emanuela
Published: July 2021

The research focuses on the linguistic and content analysis of the poems of the young poetess of Palestinian origin Faraḥ Šammā. The peculiarity of this artist consists in using the Internet and in particular videos on YouTube to recite her poems orally. As a Spoken Word artist, Faraḥ Šammā has grasped in the tool of video channels the way to transmit her compositions as she does in the course of her live performances. Starting from a reflection on the role of orality and poetry in the Arab cultural tradition and on how this literary form is inserted in the context of the new digital communication media, the work focuses on examining the thematic and linguistic aspects of the selected corpus. The goal is to extend the analysis to other forms of poetry, less conventional but which can help to open a wider glimpse into the knowledge of new literary phenomena in the Arab world.
The Notion of bianxing 變形 in the Monkey Tales Contained in the Three Chapters "Chushou" 畜 獸 of Taiping Guangji 太平廣記
Authors: Ruscica Giovanni
Published: July 2021

The 10th-century leishu 類書 (encyclopaedia) by Li Fang entitled Taiping Guangji 太平廣記 (Extensive Records of the Taiping Era) is a Song period collection of miscellanea of strange persons and events divided into 500 juan 卷. The classifications of the entries about animals in this collection are from juan 418 to 479. This study examines twenty-five anomaly accounts of shape-changes within the last three juan of “Chushou” 畜獸 (Domesticated and Wild Beasts) dedicated to apes and monkeys, i.e. juan 444, 445, and 446. This paper also analyses the concept of bianxing 變形 (transmutation) related to the physique and spiritual forms of these apes and monkeys, after their clashes and contaminations with human beings. The research considers four categories of changes considering extracts from all the entries. When possible, further information on apes and monkeys is given.
The Introduction of Naturalism in China, the Role of Mao Dun and the Debate in the Press
Authors: Lombardi Rosa
Published: July 2021

This article presents the introduction of Naturalism in China and its first mentions since the end of the nineteenth century. It examines the main terms of the debate on Naturalism (1920-21), after Mao Dun proposed his translation project of Naturalist and Realist works (1920), and the reflections and notes by some writers-translators on this issue. It is argued that Mao Dun’s translation proposal constitutes the first model of planned literary translation to carry out specific political-cultural projects. It is also argued that Naturalism underwent a process of localisation in China to serve as a tool for making the transition toward a modern Chinese literature.
Between Rigor and Reverence. Yu Dafu and His Views on Translation
Authors: Magagnin Paolo
Published: July 2021

Despite his prominence in modern Chinese literature and the significant role played by translation in his literary career, Yu Dafu’s (1896-1945) activity as a translation theorist and practitioner remains largely unexplored. Yu translated into Chinese a number of short stories, treatises, and poems by such authors as Wilde, Twain, Sinclair, Nietzsche, and Rousseau; he also devoted several essays to the issue of translation and its practice. Through an analysis of Yu’s theoretical writings, I aim to provide a brief account of his reflections on the subjectivity of the translator, the principles of a desirable translating practice, the relation between translation and original writing, and the cultural significance of translation. By doing so, I wish to highlight the seminal role played by such a reflection in Yu’s artistic career, as well as the specificity of his contribution within the intellectual debate on translation in his time.

Global Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are widely employed in geoarchaeology. Usually, their adequacy for particular landscapes is not tested. We assessed 30m-resolution-DEMs (ASTER, SRTM, ALOS, EU-DEM, NASADEM, NEXTMap) with local precision datasets. Our results reveal considerable differences (ASTER unsuitable for the region, NEXTMap and EU-DEM fit most closely to our reference model). This outcome does not necessarily apply to all similar regions. It rather stresses the need for a check of DEMs’ quality in any given study area, and it encourages the use of detailed topographic visualisations of DEMs in absence of suitable reference data.
Publishing Complexity in the Digital Humanities
Authors: Wachter Christian
Published: July 2021

When we talk about characteristics of Digital Humanities (DH), digital publishing certainly is a prominent domain to mention. Open access papers and books, blogging, collaborative writing, and digital editions have become deeply rooted in the DH, reflecting a self-confident culture of Open Science. The rational constitution of our writings, however, has received far less attention: How can we design digital publications that mirror epistemological implications of DH methods and the composition of our arguments and narratives better than current publishing formats? In this paper, I argue that the DH need formats that exceed traditional texts and their rather linear design. Digital publishing that provides (meta) data or remarks on applied methods as mere supplements would not be enough, too. Those elements are integral parts of a scholarly demonstration and they should be presented as such. They must be visible as constituents of our sense-making. We need media that depict the complex nature of data-driven research. Interlinked and multimodal digital publishing seems to lead in the right direction. I elaborate on this matter from a theoretical point of view by building on research on hypertext. I will also point to first successful attempts of implementation. Refining these approaches promises to facilitate the presentation of intricate sense-making in the DH.

Features of thermochemical treatment of nanostructured tungsten trioxide (WO3) films in hydrogen sulfide aimed at the formation of tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanolayers in the hybrid WS2/WO3 structure are investigated. The effect of temperature and treatment time on the structure, chemical state, morphology, and optical properties of the WS2/WO3/FTO photocathode (on the fluorinated tin oxide substrate), as well as on its photoelectrocatalytic activity in the reaction of hydrogen evolution in an acidic solution has been established. It is shown that sulfurization of nano-needle WO3 films under optimal conditions leads to the formation of a nanocrystalline hybrid WS2/WO3 structure that ensures the separation of photogenerated carriers (electrons and holes) at interphase boundaries (heterojunctions). This facilitates the efficient photo-activated hydrogen evolution reaction according to the Z-scheme. First-principal calculations of the thermodynamic properties of the hybrid WS2/WO3 nanocatalyst showed that a synergistic effect of nanophases is possible. This increases the catalytic activity of hydrogen evolution on both the basal planes of WS2 nanoclusters and the surface of metal oxide nanoclusters.
Anxiety and personality as indicators of academic performance in university foreign language classrooms
Authors: Smyth Alan Martin , García Manzanares Nuria , Fernández Muñoz Juan José
Published: July 2021

The main purpose of this study is to test whether students’ performance in official language tests in the university context is influenced, apart from anxiety, by certain personality traits. A sample of 394 university students in Spain were assessed in language academic performance using the Test of English for International Communication: Listening and Reading (TOEIC L&R), Foreign Language Anxiety using the Spanish version of the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), Test Anxiety, by means of the Spanish version of the Test Anxiety Inventory and Personality Traits through the Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). Frequency analyses for the categorical variables, and means and standard deviations for continuous variables were calculated, and a forward stepwise regression model was used to assess the independent variables that contributed significantly to the variance in the score on the academic performance. Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety (FLCA) correlated most significantly with student foreign language academic performance, followed by the Neuroticism dimension, Test Anxiety and Extraversion. These results show that anxiety can still be considered the best indicator to predict language academic performance and that personality traits do play a relevant part in the foreign language learning process in the university context.
Concurrent Group-dynamic Assessment of Intermediate EFL Learners’ Receptive and Productive Vocabulary Size

Published: July 2021

Although research studies on dynamic assessment (DA) yielded promising results to the field of language teaching, scant research attention has been paid to examining the effectiveness of group dynamic assessment (G-DA) in relation to vocabulary development. To this effect, the present mixed-methods study was designed to inspect the potential of concurrent G-DA in enlarging receptive and productive vocabulary size of 56 Iranian intermediate EFL learners. The study used two modalities: the control group, which was taught the selected lexical items through traditional procedures such as using word lists; and the experimental group, which was offered group-based supportive prompts for doing vocabulary exercises within the G-DA framework. The results of a series of independent-samples t-tests indicated the significant effect of G-DA in enhancing receptive and productive vocabulary size of EFL learners. The qualitative data underscored the role of group mediation in increasing learners’ motivation to increase vocabulary uptake within the G-DA framework and maintaining their positive attitude toward G-DA.
Impact of Motivational Languaging Activities on Novice English Teachers’ Motivation: An Activity Theory Perspective
Authors: Kim Hyun Soo , Kim Tae-Young
Published: July 2021

The study aims to explore the influence of languaging on novice English teachers’ motivation and to investigate the uniqueness of each English teacher’s reactions to motivational languaging activities (MLAs) from an Activity Theory (AT) perspective. Three novice English teachers at secondary schools in South Korea were interviewed using questions based on an AT framework, and they completed six sets of MLAs consisting of two parts: motivation and languaging. Our findings indicated that the two relatively motivated teachers could use MLAs to develop their ideal teacher identity and improve their teaching confidence. By participating in MLAs, a demotivated teacher can reshape her thoughts regarding teaching and motivate herself again. It has also been shown that MLAs can mediate participation in an imaginary teacher community, possibly leading to enhancement of L2 teacher motivation, but that this also might not occur depending on one’s teacher agency.
Reducing speaking anxiety in EFL classrooms: An explanatory mixed-methods study
Authors: Ölmezer Öztürk Elçin , Öztürk Gökhan
Published: July 2021

This study outlines the impact of a process enriched with mini-speeches, presentations, and scaffolded feedback on EFL learners’ foreign language speaking anxiety. The participants included 52 university freshman students and the data were collected during an oral 14-week communication course. For quantitative data, the foreign language speaking anxiety scale (FLSAS) was administered as pre and post tests and the qualitative data included reflection reports and a focus group interview at the end of the semester. The data derived from the scale were analyzed through a paired-sample t-test and the qualitative data were analyzed using a content analysis scheme. The findings revealed a significant impact of the aforementioned activities, leading to around thirty percent reduction in participants’ EFL speaking anxiety. Highlighting the effectiveness of feedback sessions, the participants suggested that the major gains of this process were a) increased self-confidence, b) increased opportunities to speak, and c) learning from their own mistakes, all of which helped them become less anxious learners. In line with these findings, the study offers several suggestions for both practitioners and research purposes.
