Postmodern as an architectural practice
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Rusin R. M.
Published: September 2020

Of all movements in art and architecture history, postmodernism is perhaps the most controversial. Postmodernism was an unstable mix of the theatrical and theoretical. It was visually thrilling, a multifaceted style that ranged from the colourful to the ruinous, the ludicrous to the luxurious. What they all had in common was a drastic departure from modernism's utopian visions, which had been based on clarity and simplicity. The modernists wanted to open a window onto a new world. Postmodernism, by contrast, was more like a broken mirror, a reflecting surface made of many fragments. Its key principles were complexity and contradiction. In the architecture of postmodernism in the 1970s and 1990s saw widespread experimentation with architectural styles from the past that modernism had excluded. Postmodernism lived up to its central aim: to replace a homogenous idiom with a plurality of competing ideas and styles. Postmodernism shattered the established ideas about style. It brought a radical freedom to art and architecture, through gestures that were often funny, sometimes confrontational and occasionally absurd. Most of all, the architecture of postmodernism brought a new self-awareness about style itself. When architects began using high-powered software created for the aerospace industry, in the design phase, computer programs can organize and manipulated the relationships of a building's many interrelated parts. In the building phase, algorithms and laser beams define the necessary construction materials and how to assemble them. Combining new ideas with traditional forms, postmodernist buildings may startle, surprise, and even amuse. Familiar shapes and details are used in unexpected ways. Buildings may incorporate symbols to make a statement or simply to delight the viewer. The main characteristics of postmodernism in its various manifestations are highlighted, such as absolute relativism, the denial of truth as a metaphysical false value, the existence of which is nonsense, a manifestation of a totalitarian type of thinking.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: To study the features of small choroidal melanoma and choroidal nevi angioarchitectonics using the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Patients and methods. We examined 128 patients with small choroidal neoplasms: 41 — with small choroidal melanoma (group 1), 42 — with suspicious nevi (group 2) and 45 — with benign nevi (group 3). All patients underwent general ophthalmic examinations and special instrumental diagnostic methods (ultrasound examination (US), fluorescence angiography (FA), spectral optical coherence tomography (SOCT), OCTA).

Results. OCTA in all patients with small choroidal melanoma showed neovascular network under retinal pigment epithelium. We found a looped, cranked-twisted, heterogeneous vascular network with uneven clearance and with numerous bends and weaves, located under the vessels of retina. The limiting avascular zone corresponding to the tumor slope was determined in 19 (46.3 %) of 41 cases. There was a rim of dilated hyperreflective choriocapillaries on the periphery of the tumor. We identified hyperreflective homogeneous enlarged choriocapillaries in the focus area with a brighter glow than the surrounding choriocapillaries in 39 (92.9 %) of 42 patients with suspicious choroidal nevus. We detected an avascular zone with surrounding extended hyperreflective choriocapillaries in the center of the nevus in 3 (7.1 %) of 42 cases. We diagnosed homogeneous isoreflective choriocapillaries similar in brightness to the surrounding vessels in all 45 patients with benign nevi.

Conclusions. Thus, the complex of clinical and instrumental methods, including OCTA, makes it possible to establish the diagnosis of malignant tumor of the choroid in early stages. At the same time, OCTA: 1) allows to visualize of the tumor vessels in the choroidal layer in 100 % of cases of in small choroidal melanoma; 2) makes it possible to distinguish the newly formed tumor vessels from the choriocapillaries in case of small choroidal melanoma; 3) provides an opportunity to establish the correct diagnosis and provide timely assistance to patients with benign and malignant choroidal tumors.

Published: September 2020

Similar to most of the other developing countries, Vietnam has national programs for industrial waste recycling including fuel, ash, and slag. In which, fly ash (FA) has been used commonly as a pozzolanic additive in the roller-compacted concrete (RCC) mixture for the dam construction of hydropower projects. This usage allows reducing the concrete cost, the hydration heat, and the thermal cracking during the construction process of the RCC. In this study, the optimal concrete mixture and the maximum temperature of the RCC dam were determined using the experiment planning method, Matlab, Maple 13, and Midas Civil. In addition, the mathematical model has been used to adequately describe the influence of the intensity concreting (IC) and the initial temperature of the concrete mixture (ITC) on the temperature regime of the RCC dam. The calculation of the temperature regime during the construction of the RCC dam of 45 m high and 1 m thick in Vietnamese climate conditions was performed with considering the IC and the ITC. As the results, the maximum temperature of the RCC dam was determined depending on the IC and the ITC. Calculation found that at IC = 0.6 m/day and ITC = 20°C, the maximum temperature in the central dam zone reached 36.38°C after 1800 hours from the beginning of construction. The results of the present study further support the safe and durable construction of the RCC dam in the future.

Published: September 2020

Candida peritonitis is associated with high mortality and multiple organ failure. With an evolving epidemiology of candidaemia indicating an increasing prevalence of rare Candida species worldwide, consideration of multidrug-resistant fungal pathogens as a cause of abdominal sepsis is paramount. We report three cases of Candida krusei as a cause of secondary and tertiary peritonitis. These cases highlight that the early use of an echinocandin class antifungal in patients not responding to standard regimens warrants consideration.

Published: September 2020

Intestinal malrotation, a congenital anomaly of the midgut, typically presents in pediatrics age group with the most feared complication of midgut volvulus and its catastrophic sequelae. Midgut volvulus secondary to intestinal malrotation is a rare presentation in adults more so in the elderly. Its rarity portends a diagnostic dilemma for both the surgeon and radiologist. We report a 65-year-old man admitted following a referral with a 12-hour history of acute abdomen with an initial diagnosis of acute pancreatitis but later had laparotomy with intraoperative findings of a midgut volvulus and gangrenous ileal segment secondary to intestinal malrotation. This case emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis to prevent the disastrous complication of this disease. The rarity of this condition portends a formidable diagnostic challenge in adults hence the awareness of its possibility and a high index of suspicion is crucial in diagnosis.

Authors: Rokade Vidya , Shinde Kiran J. , More Girishkumar R.
Published: September 2020

Background: A variety of mass lesions occur within the paranasal sinus (PNS) and nasal cavity and thus it becomes mandatory for otorhinolaryngologist to elicit detailed history and thorough examination before reaching a final diagnosis. This is retrospective study of all sinonasal masses who were undergone surgical management in the institute of rural India and so in the environment.

Methods: This is a retrospective observational study of 70 patients with sinonasal masses treated at a rural tertiary care hospital in rural western Maharashtra from period of Jan 2016 to May 2018. History, clinical assessment and histopathological examination (HPE) was done in all cases as per hospital record supplemented by radiological investigation as per requirement. The patients were grouped as per their histopathological diagnosis as non-neoplastic/inflammatory and neoplastic.

Results: A total of 70 patients were analysed age ranging (11-70 years). Majority of the patients were in the age groups 21-40 years (47%). There were 43 (61%) male and 27 (39%) female with M:F ratio 1.6:1. On HPE, 50 (71%) cases were non neoplastic/inflammatory and 20 (29%) cases were neoplastic lesions. HPE revealed that 50 (71%) cases were non neoplastic and 20 (29%) cases were neoplastic lesions.

Conclusions: Sinonasal masses have various differential diagnoses. They are fairly common with male predominance. Benign conditions show a peak during 2nd to 4th decade of life while malignancy increasing with the age after 4th decade. In non-neoplastic lesion, Allergic nasal polyp is the commonest histological pattern seen while in malignant lesions squamous cell carcinoma is noted with 100% male predominance.

 
Regime de colaboração e formação docente: práticas discursivas na produção política ProBNCC/RN
Authors: De Oliveira Marcia Betania
Published: September 2020

Neste escopo abordamos processos políticos em torno do ProBNCC no estado do Rio Grande do Norte, com destaques para percursos vivenciados pelo regime de colaboração estado/municípios na organização curricular e na formação de professores, necessário à considerada implementação da BNCC. Apresentamos dados de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter exploratório-descritivo, desenvolvida com base na leitura de documentos considerados norteadores da produção curricular do estado do Rio Grande do Norte (2017-2019), produzidos pela Secretaria de Estado da Educação (SEEC/RN), bem como de documentos produzidos pelo MEC em torno do ProBNCC. Apontamos fragmentos de conversas com representante da 12ª DIREC, parte dessa Secretaria, bem como, com representantes da SEME/Mossoró/RN. DIREC e SEME, se apresentam como lócus de discussão, planejamento e pretensa implementação da BNCC, possibilitando a proposta de articulação entre estado e municípios no processo político ProBNCC. A investigação visa a interpretar produções políticas de significação produzida nesse âmbito discursivo a partir da perspectiva discursiva com base no ciclo de políticas e na teoria do Discurso de Ernesto Laclau. Compreendemos produção curricular e formação docente como espaços de disputa e negociações, articuladas na ideia do regime de colaboração entre estado e municípios envolvidos nessa produção política. Como resultado, consideramos que, apesar da tendência regulatória e prescritiva, a partir do ProBNCC/RN, secretarias de educação e escolas desenvolvem sistemáticas próprias da produção curricular e de formação docente.
Formação em deslocamentos: ficção e contrariedade em torno na BNCC
Authors: Tomé Claudia , Santos Maria
Published: September 2020

No Estado do Rio Grande do Norte a formação de professores em torno da Base Nacional Comum Curricular para o ensino fundamental (BNCC) tem ganhado corpo através de agentes como as Diretorias Regionais de Educação e Cultura, em articulação com a Secretaria do Estado da Educação e da Cultura, e Secretarias Municipais de Educação. Neste texto, interessa-nos discutir, a partir de uma visão pós-fundacional, a ideia de implementação da base, considerando o Documento Curricular do Rio Grande do Norte (DCRN) e outros materiais utilizados por esses agentes no processo de formação de professores, cujo protagonismo é exercido pelos coordenadores pedagógicos como multiplicadores de uma formação alinhada à base. Além do conjunto de materiais, lançamos mão de narrativas dos agentes multiplicadores da formação, em um grupo de rede social, que chamamos de grupo focal à base. Nosso interesse é entender como os sujeitos formadores têm significado formação de professores, tomando como referência o DCRN, sem perder de vista o comum da BNCC. Argumentamos que a formação produz deslocamentos em que a escola é recolocada como campo de disputa que tenciona o sentido de educação de qualidade pela significação da formação como insuficiente, ainda que disruptiva. A nossa defesa é que, embora não se divorcie da norma, o processo de formação como implementação de currículos no Rio Grande do Norte pode ser potente para, entre fixações, ficções e tensões, produzir novos arquivos e, por vezes, novos sentidos.
Currículo de história e agência docente: possibilidades de articulação nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental
Authors: Gabriel Carmen Teresa , Lima Tatiana Polliana Pinto de
Published: September 2020

Este texto tem por objetivo explorar as articulações entre a produção de currículos de História e os processos de subjetivação política mobilizados pelas professoras dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, na relação estabelecida com o conhecimento histórico legitimado como objeto de ensino. As contribuições das teorizações curriculares pós-estruturalistas e da pesquisa biográfica ofereceram o quadro de inteligibilidade no âmbito do qual significamos e operamos, nesta escrita, com as categorias analíticas selecionadas. Nesse movimento procuramos compreender a relação estabelecida pelas docentes com o saber histórico escolar. Na perspectiva aqui privilegiada, o entendimento da natureza dessa relação é uma chave de leitura incontornável para a compreensão da articulação pretendida. Ao longo do texto, buscamos sustentar e argumentar a favor da potência heurística de trabalharmos na interface de duas hipóteses: (i) os/as docentes produzem e reinventam currículos no seu cotidiano profissional por meio do tipo de relação estabelecida com o conhecimento na sala de aula e (ii) a agência docente está diretamente vinculada à maneira de como elas significam essa relação. Selecionamos como campo empírico um conjunto de narrativas de docentes dos Anos Iniciais cujas práticas profissionais exercidas em culturas escolares distintas têm em comum o fato de serem reconhecidas, pelos seus próprios pares, como diferenciadas e instigantes no que diz respeito ao ensino de História nesse nível de ensino.

Published: September 2020

Los metabolitos secundarios presentes en plantas han demostrado ejercer diversas propiedades biológicas, principalmente el grupo de alcaloides, los cuales han sido investigados por su actividad fungicida, capaz de reemplazar a los productos sintéticos. Las especies del género Jatropha han sido estudiadas por su amplia variedad de metabolitos secundarios con potencial antimicrobiano, logrando ser relevantes en la búsqueda de nuevas alternativas al control de hongos de importancia clínica y alimentaria como Aspergillus parasiticus, considerado como una de las principales especies de hongos productores de aflatoxinas.

En el presente trabajo se identificó por primera vez por cromatografía en capa fina de alta resolución (HPTLC) la presencia de alcaloides en Jatropha platyphylla y se evaluó la actividad inhibitoria de los extractos metanólicos y fracción enriquecida de alcaloides, a concentraciones de 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1 y 2 mg/mL, sobre el crecimiento radial de A. parasiticus. Además se determinó su germinación a partir de la CI50 de los tratamientos. Se observó una mayor actividad de los alcaloides a 2 mg/mL, con el 80 % de inhibición a las 48 h  (P< 0,05), con una CI50 de 2.7 mg/mL. Estos resultados evidencian a los alcaloides de J. platyphylla como posibles tratamientos alternativos al control de A. parasiticus.

Authors: Kumari Babita , Singh Manvi , Srivastava Pankaj Kumar , Singh S. N.
Published: September 2020

A microcosmic study was carried out for degradation of petroleum sludge [4% (w/w) in soil] in presence of constructed microbial consortium of three bacterial strains i.e., Pseudomonas sp. BP10, Acinetobacter sp. PSM11 and Rhodococcus sp. NJ2 and two fungal strains Panicillium oxalicum PS10 and Curvularia verruculosa PS8, isolated from different petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sites) supplemented with vermicompost and inorganic fertilizer as biostimulants. After six months of incubation, the maximum degradation of TPH from petroleum sludge was recorded as high as 80% in the presence of combination of inorganic and organic fertilizer and microbial consortium while only 33% degradation was attributed by native organisms and abiotic factors. Enhancement (%) in degradation rate of TPH due to addition of vermicompost, inorganic fertilizer and microbial consortium in separation and combination was recorded as 57%, 13%, 35% and 139%, respectively. Besides the enhancement in specific growth rate of soil microbes due to addition of nutrient, bioaugmentation of this constructed microbial consortium also boost the total bacterial and fungal strains present in petroleum sludge contaminated soil. Catabolic enzymes played an important role in degradation and maximum induction of enzymes likes catechol 1, 2 dioxygenase, catechol 2, 3 dioxygenase, catalase, laccase and dehydrogenase activity were recorded 223.89 μ mol g-1, 323.83 μ mol g-1, 0.714 μ mol H2O2 g-1, 0.623 μ mol g-1 and 3.4 μg g-1 h-1, respectively.

Authors: Garyaev Roman V. , Gruzdev V. E , Rychkov I. A
Published: September 2020

The prospective study included data obtained during the surgical treatment of 55 urological patients. In the X10 group (n = 25) for spinal anesthesia used 2 ml of a 0.5% isobaric solution of levobupivacaine (10 mg), in the X15 group (n = 30) - 3 ml of a similar solution (15 mg). Results. The time to the motor blockade of Bromage I in the study groups was 9 ± 3 min versus 8 ± 3 min, p = 0.154, to Bromage III - 18 ± 7 min versus 13 ± 3 min, p = 0.001. In group X10 motor blockade did not develop in 1, reached only the first degree - in 1, only the second degree - in 5 patients. In the X15 group, all patients underwent motor blockade of the third degree, except for 2 patients, in whom block reached only the second degree. The maximum level of sensory blockade in the group X10 was Th8, X15 - Th9. In the X10 group, the upper blockade level, not exceeding Th11, was observed in 11 (44%), and in the X15 group - in 17 (57%) patients. In 6 cases of the X10 group (24%) and 5 cases of the X15 group (17%) had to add sedation or general anesthesia. The duration of motor blockade before the beginning of recovery was 163 ± 57 min versus 195 ± 66 min, p = 0.076, until the motor block regressed completely - 219 ± 66 min versus 290 ± 90 min, p = 0.002. Arterial hypotension was observed in one patient group X10 (4%) and 0 group X15, bradycardia in 7 (28%) and 7 (23%) patients, respectively. There were no transient neurologic symptoms in any cases. Conclusions. Spinal anesthesia with isobaric levobupivacaine was characterized by a slow development of the complete motor block, unpredictably low upper level of the sensory blockade and a long-lasting motor block. It can be used in patients with high risk of arterial hypotension or transient neurologic symptoms, provided sufficient time is available before the operation, the possibility of sedation and / or the addition of general anesthesia.
Examining Racial Differences in Access to Primary Care for People Living with Lupus: Use of Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions to Measure Access
Authors: Brown Elizabeth A. , Gebregziabher Mulugeta , Kamen Diane L. , White Brandi M. , Williams Edith M.
Published: September 2020

Background: People living with lupus may experience poor access to primary care and delayed specialty care.Purpose: To identify characteristics that lead to increased odds of poor access to primary care for minorities hospitalized with lupus.Methods: Cross-sectional design with 2011-2012 hospitalization data from South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida. We used ICD-9 codes to identify lupus hospi­talizations. Ambulatory care sensitive condi­tions were used to identify preventable lupus hospitalizations and measure access to primary care. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio for the association between predictors and having poor access to primary care. Sensitivity analysis excluded patients aged >65 years.Results: There were 23,154 total lupus hospitalizations, and 2,094 (9.04%) were preventable. An adjusted model showed minorities aged ≥65 years (OR 2.501, CI 1.501, 4.169), minorities aged 40-64 years (OR 2.248, CI: 1.394, 3.627), minori­ties with Medicare insurance (OR 1.669, CI:1.353,2.059) and minorities with Medicaid (OR 1.662,CI:1.321, 2.092) had the highest odds for a preventable lupus hospitalization. Minorities with Medicare had significantly higher odds for ≥3 hospital days (OR 1.275, CI: 1.149, 1.415). Whites with Medicare (OR 1.291, CI: 1.164, 1.432) had the highest odds for ≥3 days.Conclusions: Our data show that middle-aged minorities living with lupus and on public health insurance have a higher likelihood of poor access to primary care. Health care workers and policymakers should develop plans to identify patients, explore issues affecting access, and place patients with a community health worker or social worker to promote better access to primary care.

Nepenthes gymnamphora merupakan spesies kantung semar endemik di Pulau Jawa dan salah satu koleksi tumbuhan di Kebun Raya Baturraden. N. gymnamphora merupakan tumbuhan dioecious dan jenis kelaminnya tidak dapat dibedakan pada masa vegetatif. Apabila jenis kelamin tanaman tersebut dapat diketahui secara dini, maka upaya konservasi dapat dilakukan dengan lebih efisien karena pengembangan jenis kelamin tertentu dapat dilakukan secara dini. Salah satu pendekatan yang dapat dilakukan dalam identifikasi jenis kelamin N. gymnamphora adalah penggunaan marka Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya perbedaan pola RAPD antara N. gymnamphora jantan dan betina, serta mengetahui bagaimana perbedaan pola RAPD tesebut. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksploratif dengan melibatkan lima individu N. gymnamphora koleksi Kebun Raya Baturraden dari jenis kelamin yang berbeda sebagai sampel. DNA genomik diekstraksi dari daun ke dua pada kelima sampel tersebut (dua jantan, dua betina, dan satu sampel yang belum diketahui jenis kelaminnya). Selanjutnya, DNA genomik ini digunakan sebagai templat untuk amplifikasi marka RAPD. Sebanyak lima macam primer acak digunakan untuk amplifikasi marka tersebut, yaitu OPK-16, OPP-15, OPA-15, OPP-08, dan OPD-20. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dua primer, yaitu OPP-08 (5’-ACATCGCCCA-3’) dan OPD-20 (5’-ACTTCGCCAC-3’), menghasilkan pita RAPD berukuran kurang lebih 300 pb, yang spesifik terdapat pada individu jantan dan individu yang belum diketahui jenis kelaminnya. Pada individu betina tidak dihasilkan pita tersebut sehingga dapat diduga bahwa pita RAPD tersebut berkaitan dengan gen-gen penentu jenis kelamin pada N. gymnamphora. Primer OPP-08 juga menghasilkan pita RAPD berukuran kurang lebih 250 pb, yang spesifik terdapat pada individu betina. Pita tersebut tidak terlihat pada  individu jantan, sehingga dapat diduga pita tersebut terkait dengan gen-gen penentu jenis kelamin pada N. gymnamphora.

Published: September 2020

Tumbuhan paku adalah tumbuhan perintis yang dapat ditemukan di setiap tipe kawasan hutan dan memegang peranan penting dalam menyusun ekosistem hutan. Kawasan hutan dapat mengalami perubahan fungsi yang antara lain diakibatkan oleh perbedaan kondisi di tepi hutan dengan di dalam hutan. Dampak dari bertemunya dua kondisi lingkungan yang berbeda tersebut terhadap tumbuhan dan hewan dapat disebut efek tepi (edge effect). Penelitian dilakukan di Cagar Alam Bantarbolang Pemalang, Jawa Tengah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman dan faktor lingkungan tumbuhan paku terestrial di Cagar Alam Bantarbolang. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan Indeks Nilai Penting (INP),  Indeks Keanekaragamaan (H’) Shannon-Wiener, Indeks Kemerataan Spesies (e), dan Indeks Kesamaan Komunitas (IS).

Hasil penelitian di Cagar Alam Bantarbolang diperoleh tumbuhan paku terestrial sebanyak 10 spesies yang terdiri dari 400 individu termasuk dalam 6 familia. Spesies yang paling banyak ditemukan yaitu Stenochlaena palustris dengan 205 individu. Cagar Alam Bantarbolang dipengaruhi oleh efek tepi, karena semakin ke dalam hutan jumlah spesies tumbuhan paku terestrial semakin sedikit. Faktor lingkungan yang berpengaruh terhadap jumlah spesies tumbuhan paku terestrial yaitu suhu, intensitas cahaya dan pH tanah.

Pasien stoke yang menjalani rawat inap di rumah sakit harus dicek kesehatannya secara berkala yaitu diukur suhu tubuh, tekanan darah, oksigen dalam darah, dan denyut jantungnya. Padahal dunia sedang mengalami pandemi virus corona yang menyerang sistem pernapasan dan belum ditemukan obat atau vaksinnya. Badan kesehatan dunia WHO menerapkan protokol yang dapat mencegah penularan virus lebih banyak salah satunya physical distancing atau menjaga kontak fisik secara langsung. Sehingga perawat harus melakukan pengecekkan kondisi pasien tersebut tanpa bertemu langsung pasien di dalam kamar perawatan. Maka dibuat alat yang dapat mendeteksi kondisi pasien secara simultan tanpa kontak langusng guna menjaga kualitas hidup dan status kesehatan pasien. Hasil dari penelitian ini berupa prototipe perancangan sistem yang terdiri dari node dan sink/koordinator. Node mengolah dan mengirimkan data sensor yang kemudian diterima oleh koordinator dan ditampilkan dalam jaringan lokal maupun internet. Dalam pengukuran suhu terdapat selisih antara pengukuran prototipe dengan metode manual maupun prototipe dengan metode digital sebesar 0.17ºC. Selisih pengukuran pulse antara prototipe dengan metode manual sebesar 0.7 BPM, prototipe dengan metode digital sebesar 3.3 BPM. Dan pengukuran SpO2 mempunyai selisih antara pengukuran prototipe dengan metode digital sebesar 0 %. Berbeda pada pengukuran tekanan darah yang terlihat jelas selisih antara ketiga pengukuran tersebut yaitu sebsesar 3-9 mmHg. Ini disebabkan beberapa faktor seperti adanya arus tegangan yang melemah karena energi baterai yang semakin berkurang atau karena masih terdapat sedikit kesalahan prosedur dalam penggunaan alat.

The systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disorder with a wide array of clinical manifestations, including chest infections. S. aureus is the most common bacteria that cause infectious pneumonia in SLE. Other bacteria, such as S. pneumoniae has been implicated as a cause of lung infection. In this study we aimed to use intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) as only immunotherapy for the management of a SLE in a Hispanic woman. Laboratory investigations for the diagnosis of SLE were done including the detection of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and SLE confirmation by the detection of high titers of anti-dsDNA antibodies. Serum levels of C3 and C4 were assessed as well as quantification of immunoglobulins. The SLEDAI score was measured to determine whether a significant degree of disease activity existed and as prognostic value. The evaluation of the chest infection was performed by chest-X-ray at the beginning and after treatment. She was treated with 10 g/day of IVIG for six consecutive days and thereafter 10 g/monthly. The immunological evaluation demonstrated that this patient presented with a flare of SLE during a pneumococcal pneumonia. Hight titers of ANA and anti-dsDNA antibodies were detected as well as low C3 and C4, and elevated levels of immunoglobulins. The SLEDAI score fall from 10 to below 3 and the chest infection cleared up. IVIG treatment was effective in the treatment of a pneumonia associated SLE crisis. IVIG demonstrated once more that can be used as immunosuppressor, immunomodulator, and anti-microbial in patients with SLE, avoiding the use of steroids.
A New Retrieval of Sun-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence in Water from Ocean Colour Measurements Applied on OLCI L-1b and L-2

Published: September 2020

The retrieval of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence is greatly beneficial to studies of marine phytoplankton biomass, physiology, and composition and is required for user applications and services. Customarily phytoplankton chlorophyll fluorescence is determined from satellite measurements through a fluorescence line-height algorithm using three bands around 680 nm. We propose here a modified retrieval, making use of all available bands in the relevant wavelength range with the goal to improve the effectiveness of the algorithm in optically complex waters. For the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) we quantify a Fluorescence Peak Height from fitting a Gaussian function and related terms into the top-of-atmosphere reflectance bands between 650 and 750 nm. This algorithm retrieves, what we call Fluorescence Peak Height from fitting a Gaussian function upon other terms to top-of-atmosphere reflectance bands between 650 and 750 nm. This approach is applicable to Level-1 and Level-2 data. We find a good correlation of the retrieved fluorescence product to global in-situ chlorophyll measurements, as well as a consistent relation between chlorophyll concentration and fluorescence from radiative transfer modelling and OLCI/in-situ comparison. The algorithm is applicable to complex waters without needing an atmospheric correction and vicarious calibration and features an inherent correction of small spectral shifts, as required for OLCI measurements.

The remarkable adsorption capacity of graphene derived materials has prompted their examination in composite materials suitable for deployment in treatment of contaminated waters. In this study, crosslinked calcium alginate – graphene oxide beads were prepared and activated by exposure to pH 4 by using 0.1M HCl. The activated beads were investigated as novel adsorbents for the removal of organic pollutants (Methylene Blue dye and the pharmaceuticals Famotidine and Diclofenac) with a range of physicochemical properties. Effects of initial pollutant concentration, temperature, pH and adsorbent dose were investigated and kinetic models were examined for fit to the data. Maximum adsorption capacities qmax obtained were 1334, 35.50 and 36.35 mg g-1 for the uptake of Methylene blue, Famotidine and Diclofenac respectively. The equilibrium adsorption had an alignment with Langmuir isotherms while the kinetics were most accurately modelled using a pseudo- first –order and second order models according to the regression analysis. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG◦, ΔH◦ and ΔS◦ were calculated and the adsorption process was determined to be exothermic and spontaneous.
Reassessing the Role of Shared Mobility Services in a Transport Transition: Can They Contribute the Rise of an Alternative Socio-technical Regime of Mobility?
Authors: Ruhrort Lisa
Published: September 2020

Recent years have seen a proliferation of platform-based “shared mobility services” (SMS) such as car-, bike-, and e-scootersharing in many cities in Germany and around the world. At the same time, these services have become the subject of intense debates: Are they replacing private car travel, thus contributing to sustainable mobility in cities? Or are they drawing users away from public transit and cycling while obstructing public space? From the perspective of sustainable mobility politics it seems far from clear which role these new services could play in transitioning to a less car-centric mobility system. While a number of potential effects and ensuing governance issues of shared mobility services (e.g. regarding questions of equitable access, data governance, the role of public versus private actors) have already been studied this article explores the role of shared mobility services (SMS) in triggering system dynamics and feedback loops in the context of sustainability transitions. The article connects questions regarding the sustainability effects of “shared mobility services” with the role of “push” measures to reduce private car traffic in cities. Using a theoretical framework from socio-technical transitions research and from the sociology of technology it describes the recent growth of shared mobility services in Berlin as an example of the upscaling dynamics of socio-technical niche innovations. Drawing on a series of workshops with mobility service providers and representatives of public authorities it analyses the potential for conflict as well as for coalition building between service providers and public authorities. Based on the theoretical concept of the role of feedback loops and windows of opportunity for transitions it shows how the market growth of shared mobility services added momentum to an already ongoing political debate over the legitimate use of public space in Berlin. Against this backdrop the article shows how growing numbers of car-, bike-, and e-scootersharing vehicles could open up windows of opportunity for re-distributing space away from private cars. The article concludes that supporting and regulating SMS will be key to steering their growth into the direction of sustainability.
Rabies as a Public Health Concern in India – A Historical Perspective
Authors: Radhakrishnan Sreejith , Vanak Abi Tamim , Nouvellet Pierre , Donnelly Christl A.
Published: September 2020

India bears the highest burden of global dog-mediated human rabies deaths. Despite this, rabies is not notifiable in India, and continues to be underprioritized in public health discussions. This review examines the historical treatment of rabies in British India, a disease which has received relatively less attention in the literature on Indian medical history. Human and animal rabies was widespread in British India and treatment of bite victims imposed a major financial burden on the colonial Government of India. It subsequently became a driver of Pasteurism in India and globally and a key component of British colonial scientific enterprise. Efforts to combat rabies led to the establishment of a wide network of research institutes in India and important breakthroughs in development of rabies vaccines. As a result of these efforts, rabies no longer posed a significant threat to the British and it declined in administrative and public health priorities in India towards the end of colonial rule; a decline that has yet to be reversed in modern-day India. The review also highlights features of the administrative, scientific and societal approaches to dealing with this disease in British India which persist to this day.

Published: September 2020

The development of numerical simulations is potentially useful in predicting the most suitable manufacturing process and ultimately improving product quality. Seamless pipes are manufactured by rotary piercing process in which round bars are fed between two rolls and pierced by a stationary plug. During this process, the material undergoes severe deformation which renders it impractical to be modelled and analysed with conventional finite element methods. In this paper, three dimensional numerical simulations of the piercing process are performed with Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) Formulation in LS DYNA software. Details about the material model as well as the elements formulations are elaborated here and mesh sensitivity analysis was performed. The results of the numerical simulations are in good agreement with experimental data found in the literature and the validity of the analysis method is confirmed. The effects of varying workpiece velocity, process temperature, and wall thickness on the maximum stress levels of the product material/pipes are investigated by performing simulations of sixty scenarios. Three dimensional surface plots are generated which can be utilized to predict the maximum stress value at any given combination of the three parameters.
