Size, shape and secondary structure of calponin.
Authors: Czurylo E A , Eimer W , Kulikova N , Hellweg T
Published: December 2019

The overall size and shape of the chicken gizzard calponin (CaP) h1 molecule was investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. From the DLS experiments, a z-averaged translational diffusion coefficient is derived (5.75 +/- 0.3) x 10(-7) cm(2) s(-1), which corresponds to a hydrodynamic radius of 3.72 nm for calponin. The frictional ratio (1.8 for the unhydrated molecule and 1.5 for the hydrated one) suggests a pronounced anisotropic structure for the molecule. An ellipsoidal model in length 19.4 nm and with a diameter of 2.6 nm used for hydrodynamic calculations was found to reproduce the DLS experimental data. The evaluation of the secondary structure of CaP h1 from the CD spectra by two independent methods has revealed that it contains, on average, 23% helix, 19% beta-strand, 18% beta-turns and loops, and 40% of remainder structures. These values are in good agreement with those predicted from the amino-acid sequence. Predictions used for CaP h1 were applied to other isoforms of known sequences and revealed that all calponins share a common secondary structure. Moreover, the predicted structure of the calponin CH domain is identical to that found by X-ray studies of the spectrin, fimbrin and utrophin CH domains.
Partial deglycosylation of alpha subunit modifies sturgeon gonadotropin function.

Published: December 2019

Chemical deglycosylation (dg) of sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedti Br. (alphaGTH) resulted in the loss of 83% of its initial carbohydrate content. It altered also recombinant dg alphaGTH + betaGTH dimer molecule, reducing its immunoreactivity by 30%, and fully blocking the hormonal function. CD spectroscopy showed that deglycosylation led to changes in the secondary structure of dg alphaGTH and in the alpha-beta recombinant. The sugar moiety of sturgeon alphaGTH is suggested to play an important role in maintaining the biological function of the hormone dimer molecule.
Proliferation and apoptosis of human T cells during replicative senescence--a critical approach.
Authors: Jaruga E , Skierski J , Radziszewska E , Sikora E
Published: December 2019

Normal human T lymphocytes growing in culture undergo replicative senescence. Previously, we have shown that in our conditions polyclonal T cells cease proliferation after about three weeks (Radziszewska et al., 1999, Cell Biol. Int. 23, 97-103). Now we present results of a more detailed analysis of in vitro growth as well as phenotypic changes of T cells. Cell cycle analysis showed that about 20% of cells were in the S phase until the 17th day of culture (young cells). The highest number of mitotic cells (phase G2/M; 10%) was observed during the first week of culture. All not dividing senescent cells were stopped in the G1 phase (after the 30th day of culture). The sub-G1 fraction which represents apoptotic cells did not exceed 8% during the whole period until the 30th day of culture. During in vitro T-cell growth, a rather rapid selection to CD3+ CD8+ cells occurs. In the presenescent (between the 17th and 30th day) and senescent populations the majority of cells (above 90%) were CD8 positive. We also have checked the expression of alpha-chain interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor (CD25). In young and presenescent cells about one third of cells was CD25 positive, but only 15% in the pool of senescent cells. Immunoblotting analysis of p16 protein recognized previously as a marker of senescent T cells, showed its highest and transient expression in presenescent cells. A critical review of the polyclonal T cell replicative senescence model is presented.
The participation of ribosome-UDP-GalNAc complex in the initiation of protein glycosylation in vitro.
Authors: Paszkiewicz-Gadek A , Porowska H , Gindzieński A
Published: December 2019

The gastric epithelial cells ribosome-UDP-GalNAc complex is a donor of UDP-GalNAc as the substrate for N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase, which catalyse the transfer of GalNAc residue to the polypeptide, existing on polysomes. It was observed that the deglycosylated porcine mucin and synthetic peptide (PTSSPIST) can be also glycosylated with participation of N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase and ribosome-UDP-GalNAc complex. The probability of the ribosome-UDP-GalNAc complex as an intermediate in the O-glycosylation is considered.

Ebû Hayyân el-Endelüsî’nin Usûlu’n-Nahv İlmindeki Yeri
Authors: Tekin Selim
Published: December 2019

Gramer çalışmalarında doğuşundan
günümüze kadar birçok Arap dilci birbirinden farklı görüş ve yorumlarda
bulunmuşlardır. Bu görüşlerin farklı olmasındaki temel ve en önemli etken
kullanılan dil metodudur. Bir nahiv meselesinde bir dilci nahiv delillerinden
birine dayanarak bir görüş ortaya koyarken başka bir dilci diğer bir nahiv
deliline dayanarak farklı bir görüşte bulunmuştur. Bunun sonucunda ise gramerle
alakalı farklı yorumlar meydana gelmiştir. Bu dilcilerden biri de Ebû Hayyân
el-Endelüsî’dir. (ö. 745/1344) O, kimi zaman nahiv imamlarından ve ekollerinden
farklı olarak özgün, kimi zaman da bu imam ve ekollerden birinin görüşünü
tercih şeklinde görüşlerde bulunmuştur. Nahiv delillerinden bazılarını
diğerlerine göre daha önemsemiş ve görüşlerini bu doğrultuda ortaya koymuştur. Ebû
Hayyân ilk dil bilginlerinden farklı olarak Kuran'ın bütün kıraatlerini, kendi
görüşleri için delil olarak kullanmış, İbn Mâlik’in (ö. 672/1275)
yaygınlaştırdığı hadisle istişhad yöntemini reddetmiştir. Bu makalede Ebû Hayyân’ın
usûlu’n-nahv ilmine olan katkısı, görüşlerini ortaya koyarken benimsediği dil
metodu ve usûlu’n-nahv ilminde kullandığı nahiv delilleri gösterilmeye
çalışılacaktır.
Ahlak Kuramları Açısından Kobay İnsan

Published: December 2019

Tıbbî deneyler, tıp alanında geçerli ve güvenilir bilgileri sağlamada en çok kullanılan yöntemlerdendir. Amacı insan sağlığını korumak ve hastalıklara çare bulmak olan bu yöntemlerin en önemli parçasını hayvanlar ve insanlar üzerinde gerçekleşen deneyler oluşturur. Yüzyıllardır gerçekleştirilen bu deneyler ile bilim dünyasının doyurucu sonuçlara ulaştığı söylenebilir. Fakat geçmişten günümüze uygulandığını bildiğimiz bu deneylerin kontrolsüz yapılması ise belli etik ve hukuki problemlerin ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Bir deneyde, bir insanın kobay olarak kullanılmasının hukuki ve ahlaki çerçevede belli kıstasları vardır. Bu kıstaslarla kişinin bir takım etik ve yasal ilkeler çerçevesinde haklarının korunması amaçlanmakta ve bu tip çalışmaların kontrolsüz yapılması engellenmektedir. İnsan hayatının tek ve özel olması ve herhangi bir zarara uğramaması üzerine kurulu etik ilkeler, hukuk ile de güvence altına alınmaktadır.Bu çalışmada, uygulamalı etiğin bir alt alanı olan meslek etiklerinden tıp etiği çerçevesinde bir problemin- deneylerde kobay insan kullanımının- temel ahlak kuramcıları açısından ahlakiliği tartışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda deontolojik, ahlaki duyu ve sonuçcu ahlak kuramlarının, pratikte karşılaştığımız ve tıp etiği çerçevesinde ilkelerce belirlenmiş bir probleme verebileceği muhtemel cevaplar tartışılacaktır.
Klasik Hanefî Faiz Teorisinin Günümüzde Geçerliliği Sorunu: Kağıt Paraların ve Sanayi Ürünlerinin Kendi Cinsleriyle Mübadelesinde Fazlalık Faizi
Authors: Peşe Ahmet Muhammet
Published: December 2019

Klasik dönemde hakim olan
faiz teorileri günümüzde aynen tatbik edildiklerinde, kağıt paraların ya da bir
çok sanayi ürününün kendi cinsleriyle mübadelesinde eşitliğe riayet edilmesi
gerekmediği sonucu açığa çıkmaktadır. Sözgelimi, fazlalık faizinde bedeller
arasında cins birliği yanında keylîlik ya da veznîlik birliği aranan teoriye
göre, keylî ya da veznî olmayan kağıt paralar ve bir çok sanayi ürünü fazlalık
faizinin konusu değildirler. Bedellerin yiyecek maddesi, altın ya da gümüş
olmasını şart koşan diğer hakim faiz teorisi esas alındığında da aynı sonuçla
karşılaşılmaktadır. Buna karşılık, günümüzde kağıt paraların ve birbirine eşit
olarak üretilen sanayi ürünlerinin kendi cinsleriyle mübadelelerinde eşitliğin
mutlaka şart koşulması gerektiği düşüncesiyle çağdaş İslam Hukukçuları,
çoğunlukla, faiz yasağının kapsamını yeni bir faiz teorisi ortaya koyarak
genişletme eğilimi içerisindedirler. Bu nedenle çağdaş dönemde, klasik dönemde
hakim olduğu belirtilen teoriler yerine, her türlü paranın ve her türlü mislî
malın kendi cinsleriyle mübadelelerinde eşitliğe riayet edilmesini gerektiren
yeni bir teori yaygınlık kazanmaya başlamıştır. Sözü edilen durum, aynı zamanda
klasik teorilerin günümüzde geçerliliğini sürdürüp sürdürmediği sorununu açığa
çıkarmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, gerçekte kağıt paraları ve tüm sanayi ürünlerini
kapsayan bir genişlikte olduğu gerekçesiyle, Hanefî faiz teorisi bakımından
günümüzde herhangi bir geçerlilik sorununun bulunmadığı gösterilmek
istenilmektedir.
Causes For the Delay of Ileostomy Closure in Rectal Cancer Surgery

Published: December 2019

Rectal cancer represents a challenge for the general surgeon as patients’ quality of life after the management of the neoplasm is starting to become more and more important. Our review is focused on loop ileostomies and the reasons why their closure might be delayed. We have tried to gather these reasons all together from our experience and from the literature in order to understand whether there are any aspects that can be improved. After a thorough search through different scientific databases we managed to include a total of 29 articles in our research and the information gathered has led to the conclusions of this narrative review. There are many reasons why the closure of an ileostomy might be delayed. While some of them are related to the patient and cannot be controlled or prevented (age, comorbidities), most of the factors that can interfere are preventable (adjuvant therapy, postoperative complications, patient’s wish).

JEJAK-JEJAK PLURALISME AGAMA DALAM SUFISME
Authors: Hamdie Ilham Masykuri
Published: December 2019

This article intends to explore Sufism about the pluralism of religion. Khazanah Sufism is known synonymous with the esoteric approach in religion. Through this esoteric approach, the unity of religions or pluralism is very likely to be achieved, because all religions ultimately meet God. In Islam this aspect of esotericism is known to be discussed by Sufism or Sufi figures who have many concepts of unity (al-wahdat) such as Wahdat al-Wujud, Wahdat al-Syuhud, Wahdat al-Ummah and Wahdat al-Adyan. This article is the result of library research that raises the issue of Sufi treasures around religious pluralism. The study in this paper can be considered important, theoretically besides being able to enrich the treasury of Islamic thought more specifically in the field of Sufism, it can also strengthen the theological basis for understanding pluralism of religion, which at the level of praxis can encourage a more harmonious relationship between and among adherents of religion that different. Moreover, if so far the discourse on religious pluralism is considered to always refer to the works of Western religious scholars, those who define pluralism as the view that the One manifests to many or that particular religions are a response to the Almighty, in fact some Sufism or Sufi figures actually have long, first discuss it philosophically and deeply.
Czy rosyjski jest bardziej „angielski” niż polski? O zapożyczeniach w języku informatycznym w aspekcie glottodydaktycznym
Authors: Hudy Viktoriia
Published: December 2019

Dzięki powszechnej globalizacji specjaliści z różnych dziedzin, zwłaszcza wysoko wykwalifikowani, mogą bez problemu znaleźć zatrudnienie poza granicami swojego kraju. Polska znajduje się wśród państw, których rynek pracy jest coraz bardziej atrakcyjny dla wielu cudzoziemców. Dotyczy to także branży IT, od lat przyciągającej specjalistów z krajów byłego Związku Radzieckiego. Interesujące jest zatem – wydaje się – porównanie wpływu języka angielskiego, będącego podstawą języka specjalistycznego tej branży, na język polski i rosyjski. W artykule autorka podejmuje próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy anglicyzmy występujące w polskim i rosyjskim języku informatycznym są takie same. Pragnie także pokazać stopień przyswojenia przykładowych zapożyczeń w obu omawianych językach i omówić wynikające z tych obserwacji implikacje dla glottodydaktyki polonistycznej.

As regras da participação democrática: desenho e gargalos jurí­dico-institucionais dos conselhos de saúde de São Paulo
Authors: Almeida de Castro Henrique
Published: December 2019

O artigo busca mapear e criticar os arranjos jurídico-institucionais que constituem conselhos gestores das supervisões técnicas de saúde do município de São Paulo. Os conselhos compõem a "ecologia" de instituições participativas brasileiras, as quais se proliferaram no regime pós-redemocratização. De um ponto de vista teórico, parte-se do pressuposto de que escolhas jurídicas desempenham um papel constitutivo nessas instituições, impactando as condições reais de legitimidade de seus processos de deliberação. Nessa perspectiva, as regras formais e informais dos conselhos são reconstituídas e avaliadas com base nos critérios normativos da teoria democrática deliberativa. A participação na gestão da saúde em São Paulo representa um caso paradigmático no país, tendo em vista seu processo de formação anterior à redemocratização e sua configuração institucional descentralizada. Ainda assim, são detectadas três situações nas quais as escolhas jurídicas vigentes debilitam suas capacidades. Por fim, sugiro um “método” de aprimoramento institucional baseado na literatura da “governança experimentalista”.

Legal Aspects of the Right to Nationality Pursuant to Myanmar Citizenship Law
Authors: Htun Su Yin
Published: December 2019

It is universally accepted that everyone has the right to citizenship. Myanmar’s framework on the right to nationality constitutes a unique, exclusive, ethnic citizenship system based on jus sanguinis or the law of blood. Myanmar’s Citizenship Law was enacted in 1982 by repealing the Union Citizenship Act of 1948. As citizenship parameters were changed by the Law, many people in the Kachin, Karen, and Rakhine states lost their nationality rights and consequently suffered human rights abuses. In the Rakhine state, serious communal violence occurred in 2012, 2016, and 2017, and the government declared a state of emergency. This research paper focuses on how Myanmar can adhere to international standards for nationality rights. It provides a historical overview and legal analysis of citizenship laws in Myanmar using a human rights lens and offers suggestions for legal reforms that can help address the problem of statelessness in Myanmar. Specifically, it recommends the use of the jus soli, or the law of the soil, approach to citizenship.
First Post-Legislative Scrutiny in Georgia: Steps Towards Generating Result-oriented Laws
Authors: Kuchava Kakhaber
Published: December 2019

The effective implementation of law is a complex process. This process depends on the availability of human resources, public engagement, funding (at least, on the stage of piloting), among others. Often, the focus is on getting legislation adopted, rather than on practical implementation and its impact. To fill in this gap, oversight over the Implementation of Normative Acts (i.e., Post-legislative scrutiny, hereinafter “PLS”) has been introduced in the Rules of Procedures of the Parliament of Georgia (hereinafter, the “Parliament”). This article scrutinises the procedures that are shaping the Parliament’s ability to conduct PLS as well as its interaction with the executive. The working theory for this paper is that insufficient attention has been paid to the review of legislation after its enactment in Georgia. The paper addresses the work that has been undertaken at the national level, particularly through monitoring the effects of adopted legislation in ensuring benefits for constituents in the ways initially intended. Furthermore, it will reflect on the challenges identified in the ongoing PLS process by the  Environments Protection and Natural Resources Committee (hereinafter “Environment Committee”) and the lessons learned based on the experience. The article uses a case study of Georgia to explore the context and challenges for effective PLS. For comparision, this research adopted  the UK approach, where it is common to review the laws  three to five years after enactment.
Egy specifikus büntetési forma? – Végtag-amputációs esetek a 9. századi Mosaburg (Zalavár) vonzáskörzetében
Authors: ÉVINGER Sándor
Published: December 2019

Mosaburg (Zalavár, Hungary) was the easternmost marquisate of the Frankish Empire in the second half of the 9th century. From this centre and its immediate agglomeration a surprisingly large number of limb amputation cases have been found. This paper presents three new finds, and reviews four cases published earlier. All the seven individuals were males with their left leg cut off just above the ankle joint (and with the simultaneous amputation of the right hand in one case). Two of them died without any sign of healing, whereas the others showed partial (one case) or complete (four cases) healing. Considering the possible causative factors, these were the most probably punitive amputations. While ordering limb amputation as punishment was part of various law books throughout Europe during the Middle Ages, evidence for this phenomenon is unexpectedly infrequent in medieval skeletal assemblages. From this aspect, 9th century Mosaburg seems to be a rare exception. When looking at the 8th–10th century series from the territory of Europe for possible parallels, we can only discover one region where similar number of presumably punitive limb amputations has been found: the 9th century Moravian Basin (especially Mikulčice and its surroundings). However, it is unclear whether it marks a direct connection between the two power centres, or both adapted this custom from a third source independently.
Az apai vonalú N haplocsoport szerepe a mai baskírok, tatárok és magyarok genetikai kapcsolatrendszerében
Authors: NÉMETH Endre , KUSTÁR Ágnes , SZÉKELY Gábor , KLIMA László
Published: December 2019

A specific genetic relationship under paternal haplogroup N among Hungarians, Bashkirs and Tatars is presented. The study identified two, approximately 2700–2800 years old paternal ancestor under subhapolgroup N-B539, whose descendants have so far been identified only among Hungarians, Bashkirs and Tatars. The descendants of one forefather form a specific subgroup under haplogroup N-B540, those of the other under N-B545. N-B540 is relatively rare in Europe, but it is relatively frequent among contemporary Ob-Ugric populations. The presently known geographic spread of N-B545 is even more limited than that of N-B540. The marker N-B545 was only identified in the Carpathian Basin and among Bashkirs and Tatars.

Another important observation from our perspective is that a third subgroup of haplogroup N, N3a2-M2118 is practically absent from Europe except for North-Western Bashkortostan, but it is sporadically present among Hungarian conquerors and contemporary Hungarians. It is remarkable that the subgroup N3a2-M2118 in Europe only appears in North-Western Bashkortostan, and even there only among the Yenei tribe, but there with a relatively high frequency.

We have also added anthropologic, historic, archaeologic and linguistic results to the population genetic results in order to put the latter into historical context. Based on the conclusions, it is likely that part of the ancestors of the Hungarian conquerors migrated to the West from North-Western Bashkortostan and possibly from neighbouring border regions of Eastern Tatarstan. In our opinion, more Magyars could have stayed in the Volga-Ural region than researchers traditionally assumed, and Onogur-Bulgar groups could have had an important role in the tribal confederation of Hungarian conquerors.
O falso triunfalismo das diretrizes para as culturas populares na América Latina
Authors: Loureiro Fábio Luiz , Zandomínegue Bethânia Alves Costa , Martins Rodrigo Lema Del Rio , Falcão José Luiz Cirqueira
Published: December 2019

Este artigo trata da análise das diretrizes oficiais produzidas em convenções, encontros e seminários temáticos que versam sobre a valorização e o apoio às culturas populares na América Latina entre 2000 e 2017. Para a realização desse estudo examinou-se documentos oficiais relativos às temáticas da diversidade cultural e da cultura popular, produzidos pela Unesco e, a Carta Sul-Americana de Culturas Populares. Em seguida, realizou-se levantamento e catalogação de jogos, lutas, danças, cantos etc., tipificadas como culturas populares na Argentina, Bolívia, Brasil, Chile, Colômbia, Cuba, Equador, Guatemala, México, Peru, Uruguai e Venezuela. Com base nesses dados e análise de conteúdo, problematizou-se acerca da relação entre as diretrizes oficiais, os patrimônios culturais nacionais e os processos de formação profissional com valorização das manifestações culturais populares. Como resultado destaca-se que, apesar de as diretrizes oficiais de proteção e defesa de culturas populares se constituírem como conquistas de movimentos que lutam em defesa dessas expressões, do ponto de vista operacional, isso não se efetiva. Além disso, identificou-se que as diretrizes oficiais são ineficazes diante dos contextos de invisibilização dessas práticas nos currículos de formação profissional e, da ausência de políticas públicas que assegurem paridade na proteção e no reconhecimento dessas expressões.
Saberes propostos em manuais de preparação aos exames de admissão: o caso do Admissão ao Ginásio
Authors: Caroline Ramires Neves Késia
Published: December 2019

A discussão deste trabalho está pautada em indícios encontrados no manual preparatório para os exames de admissão ao ginásio, o Admissão ao Ginásio, uma produção de 1953 de autoras do Rio Grande do Sul. A investigação procurou identificar elementos que informassem sobre os saberes escolares exigidos nas provas e sobre os saberes voltados aos professores para ensinar a matemática dos exames. Ao abordar essa questão, o trabalho retratou a intenção das autoras em não somente preparar os alunos para a realização dos exames, mas também de informá-los sobre os aspectos culturais, sociais e de crescimento econômico do país, bem como nortear o ensino dos professores, também manuseadores do manual, com subsídios que fossem além dos saberes disciplinares. Assim, foram identificados alguns tipos de recursos para ensinar aquilo que seria exigido nas provas dos exames, foram verificados quais saberes foram priorizados para o ingresso no ensino secundário, como também foi observada a importância com que as autoras tratavam alguns desses saberes para abordar os problemas sugeridos ao fim das seções do livro. Portanto, esperamos que o trabalho possa colaborar com a história da educação sul-rio-grandense e ainda com a história da educação matemática do Brasil.

Interpolation is procedure that depends on spatial and/or statistical properties of analysed variable(s). It is special challenging task for data that included low number of samples, like dataset with less than 20 data. This problem is especially emphasized in the subsurface geological mapping, i.e. in the cases where data are taken solely from wells. Successful solutions of such mapping problems ask for knowledge about interpolation methods designed primarily for small datasets and dataset itself. Here are compared two methods, namely Inverse Distance Weighting and Modified Shepard’s Method, applied for three variables (porosity, permeability, thickness) measured in the Neogene sandstone hydrocarbon reservoirs (Northern Croatia). The results showed that pure cross-validation is not enough condition for appropriate map selection, but also geometrical features need to be considered, for datasets with less than 20 points.

Published: December 2019

Starting from the fact that the units of local self-government of the Republic of Serbia are not sufficiently oriented towards innovations related to human resources and the environment, the application of quantitative research tradition examines the positioning and understanding of certain procedures and decisions of human resources management regarding the functioning of the environmental protection system, on the one hand, and future strategies for changing the given system, on the other. A series of 105 face-to-face interviews were conducted during the whole of 2016 in 105 of the 191 municipalities in the Republic of Serbia. Examination of the attitudes of the local self-government was carried out using a specially designed closed electronic questionnaire. The results of the multivariate regressions show that the most important predictor of the possible improvement of the environment is the size of the municipality. The remaining variables (e.g., human resources policy, human resources service) did not have significant effects on the ability to improve the environment. In more than half of local self-governments, there was no clearly defined human resources strategy in the field of environmental protection, an environmental protection service, an Environmental Action Plan, as well as an employment plan for waste management in local governments, etc. The research has shown that top managers of local governments agree that the management of human resources in environmental protection represents a significant opportunity to improve the quality of the environment. The results of the research can be used to improve the organization of human resource competence in environmental protection and the quality of a working and sustainable environment in the area of local self-government.
A Coastal Vulnerability Assessment due to Sea Level Rise: A Case Study of Atlantic Coast of Portugal’s Mainland
Authors: Rocha Carolina , Antunes Carlos , Catita Cristina
Published: December 2019

The sea level rise, a consequence of climate change, is one of the biggest challenges that countries and regions with coastal lowland areas will face in the medium term. This study proposes a methodology for assessing the vulnerability to sea level rise (SLR) on the Atlantic coast of Portugal mainland. Some scenarios of extreme sea level for different return periods and extreme flooding events were estimated for 2050 and 2100, as proposed by the European Union Directive 2007/60/EC. A set of physical parameters are considered for the multi-attribute analysis technique implemented by the Analytic Hierarchy Process, in order to define a Physical Vulnerability Index fundamental to assess coastal vulnerability. For each SLR scenario, coastal vulnerability maps, with spatial resolution of 20 m, are produced at national scale to identify areas most at risk of SLR, constituting key documents for triggering adaptation plans for such vulnerable regions. For 2050 and 2100, it is estimated 903 km2 and 1146 km2 of vulnerable area, respectively, being the district of Lisbon the most vulnerable district in both scenarios. Results are available through a Web Map Service, for Portuguese public entities, and through a web map viewer for public and communities in general.

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage disease. To expand the donor reserve, it is necessary to use marginal/sub optimal donors that provide marginal organs. We retrospectively evaluated the short and long-term outcome of elderly kidney transplantation using allografts with vascular abnormalities. Between January 1999 and December 2018, 740 transplants from cadaveric donors were performed. Thirty-four elderly patients received a kidney transplantation with vascular anatomical variants (Group 1) were compared with 34 patients who received a kidney transplantation with single renal artery (SRA) (Grroup2) pair-matched by age, dialysis age, donor age, comorbidity. All participants completed the Long Form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) at baseline and after 4, 8, and 12 weeks after transplantation. The overall rate of surgical complications was 17.6% in Group 1 and 20.6% in Group 2, indicating that kidney with vascular anatomical variant might be successfully transplanted. Our data also emphasizes the importance of individualized physical activity in kidney transplantation with multiple arteries. Physical activity should be considered as an essential part of the medical care for renal-transplanted recipients.

Published: December 2019

Inland lake variations are considered sensitive indicators of global climate change. However, human activity is playing as a more and more important role in inland lake area variations. Therefore, it is critical to identify whether anthropogenic activity or natural event is playing as the dominant factor in inland lake surface area change. In this study, we proposed a Douglas-Peucker simplification algorithm and bend simplification algorithm combined method to locate major lake surface area disturbances; these disturbances were then characterized to extract the time series change features according to documented records; and the disturbances were finally classified into anthropogenic or natural. We took the nine lakes in Yunnan Province as test sites, a 31 years long (from 1987 to 2017) time series Landsat TM/OLI images and HJ-1A/1B used as data sources, the official records was used as references to aid the feature extraction and disturbance identification accuracy. Results of our method for both disturbance location and the disturbance identification could be concluded as follows: 1) The method can accurately locate the main lake changing events based on the time series lake surface area curve. The accuracy of this model for segmenting the lake area time series curves in our study area was 95.24%. 2) Our proposed method achieved an overall accuracy of 91.67%, with F-score of 94.67 for anthropogenic disturbances and F-score of 85.71 for natural disturbances. 3) According to our results, lakes in Yunnan Provence, China, have undergone extensive disturbances, and the human-induced disturbances occurred almost twice as often as natural disturbances, indicating intensified disturbances caused by human activities. This inland lake area disturbance identification method is expected to uncover whether a disturbance to inland lake area is human activity-induced or natural event.

Streptomyces, being one of the most promising genera due to its ability to synthesize a variety of bioactive secondary metabolites of pharmaceutical interest, here studied in relation to its genomic and metabolomic potential. Coinciding with the increase in sequenced data, mining of bacterial genomes for biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) has become a routine component of natural product discovery. Herein, we describe the isolation and characterization of a Streptomyces tendae VITAKN with quorum sensing inhibitory activity (QSI) that was isolated from southern coastal parts of India. The nearly complete genome consists of 8,621,231bp with a GC content of 72.2%. Utilizing the BiG-SCAPE-CORASON platform, a sequence similarity network predicted from this strain was evaluated through sequence similarity analysis with the MIBiG database and existing 3,365 BGCs predicted by antiSMASH analysis of publicly available complete Streptomyces genomes. Crude extract analyzed on LC-HRMS/MS and Global Natural Product Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) online workflow using dereplication resulted in the identification of cyclic dipeptides (2,5-diketopiperazines, DKPs) in the extract, which are known to possess QSI activity. Our results highlight the potential use of genomic mining coupled with LC-HRMS/MS and bionformatic tools (GNPS) as a potent approach for metabolome studies in discovering novel QSI lead compounds. This study also provides the biosynthetic diversity of these BGCs and an assessment of the predicted chemical space yet to be discovered.
