Published: August 2021

O hipogonadismo masculino tardio é uma condição clínica que resulta da incapacidade do homem em manter níveis de testosterona adequados para suas funções fisiológicas. Existem dois questionários que se mostraram promissores em auxiliar a avaliação clínica da deficiência androgênica masculina: ADAMq e MMASq. A fim de avaliar a eficiência dos questionários como ferramenta de rastreio do hipogonadismo masculino tardio, foi realizado um estudo de corte transversal que buscou correlacionar as análises clínicas e laboratoriais dos participantes. Foram considerados 83 indivíduos do sexo masculino usuários de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde da cidade de Cascavel-PR. Os dados proveram da aplicação dos questionários e coleta de exames laboratoriais e foram analisados estatisticamente adotando nível de significância quando p<0,05. Nenhuma das variáveis estudadas apresentou relação com a classificação obtida pelo questionário ADAMq, enquanto o MMASq mostrou de forma significativa uma relação com os níveis de testosterona (p=0,0006).

Published: August 2021

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new variable of the Coro-naviridae family. COVID-19 spreads primarily by contacting the virus either from a COVID-19-infected individual through coughing or sneezing or from COVID-19-contaminated surfaces. A Descriptive cross-sectional survey of 200 participants was conducted to explore the awareness, attitude, and practice of COVID-19 among the arts and science students studying at the University College of Farasan. Results: Of all the participants, 58% showed a moderate level of awareness, 70% presented a high attitude, and 56% presented an adequate practice regarding COVID-19. Significant positive correlation between awareness-attitude (r = 0.156, p-value < 0.001) and attitude-practice (r = 0.192, p-value < 0.001) were found. The majority of students with non-medical background agreed that the patient with COVID-19 could remain asymptomatic (p < 0.01) while considering the transmission route, the students from non-nursing background students were found more conscious (p < 0.01) that infection could spread through personal contact, respiratory droplets and possibly by feces. Despite the moderate public awareness, their attitude and practice were better. Therefore, public awareness must be improved to be prepared for epidemic and pandemic situations.
COVID-19: Target Selection

It is necessary to revive the old concept of "norm in pathology," which meant that there are deviations that reflect its adaptation to new conditions in the case of a disease in the body. Such shifts up to a certain limit are a positive phenomenon and do not require correction. It is necessary to adopt a general scheme of the relationship and sequence of these reactions and mechanisms in the pathogenesis of inflammatory transformation of lung tissue instead of ephemeral dependence on the pathogen.

Published: August 2021

Il portale BeWeB rappresenta il racconto delle comunità di eredità che esprimono il valore identitario del patrimonio culturale nelle sue diverse tipologie, materiale e immateriale, come riflesso ed espressione dei loro valori, delle conoscenze e tradizioni, in continua evoluzione. I beni ecclesiastici, oltre ad avere un’accezione culturale, storica, artistica, bibliografica, archivistica e patrimoniale, rappresentano anche uno dei luoghi in cui si compie la missione della chiesa. Le diocesi e le parrocchie, nel catalogare i propri beni attraverso un progetto locale di carattere nazionale, hanno investito risorse culturali, umane ed economiche motivate da una prospettiva principalmente legata alla conoscenza, certamente patrimoniale e di tutela, svolgendo l’attività con crescente consapevolezza. Ultimamente questa consapevolezza del dono da custodire e da trasmettere, da usare oggi, è cresciuta, e ormai in quei beni le comunità identificano i motivi della propria identità, un valore di vita e di annuncio.
3D Quantum-inspired Self-supervised Tensor Network for Volumetric Segmentation of Medical Images
Authors: Konar Debanjan , Bhattacharyya Siddhartha , Gandhi Tapan Kumar , Panigrahi Bijaya Ketan , Jiang Richard
Published: August 2021

This paper introduces a novel shallow 3D self-supervised tensor neural network for volumetric segmentation of medical images with merits of obviating training and supervision. The proposed network is referred to as 3D Quantum-inspired Self-supervised Tensor Neural Network (3D-QNet). The underlying architecture of 3D-QNet is composed of a trinity of volumetric layers viz. input, intermediate and output layers inter-connected using an S-connected third-order neighborhood-based topology for voxel-wise processing of 3D medical image data suitable for semantic segmentation. Each of the volumetric layers contains quantum neurons designated by qubits or quantum bits. The incorporation of tensor decomposition in quantum formalism leads to faster convergence of the network operations to preclude the inherent slow convergence problems faced by the classical supervised and self-supervised networks. The segmented volumes are obtained once the network converges. The suggested 3D-QNet is tailored and tested on the BRATS 2019 Brain MR image data set and Liver Tumor Segmentation Challenge (LiTS17) data set extensively in our experiments. 3D-QNet has achieved promising dice similarity as compared to the intensively supervised convolutional network-based models like 3D-UNet, Vox-ResNet, DRINet, and 3D-ESPNet, showing a potential advantage of our self-supervised shallow network on facilitating semantic segmentation.
Design of In-phase and Quadrature Two Paths Space-Time-Modulated Metasurfaces
Authors: Li Mengmeng , Li Mengmeng , Bilotti Filiberto
Published: August 2021

Space-time-modulated metasurfaces can manipulate electromagnetic waves in space and frequency domain simultaneously. In this paper, an analytical design of space-time- modulated metasurfaces with modulation elements composed of two paths, In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q), is proposed. The model is derived analytically, the space/frequency domain manipulations are achieved by designing the dimension and time sequence of I and Q paths. In the specular reflection direction, an objective frequency shift of the reflected first order harmonic can be obtained. While, in other directions, the opposite first order harmonic can be easily controlled by changing the dimension of I/Q paths and the objective first order harmonic remains unchanged. Furthermore, with a small dimension of I/Q paths, the first order harmonic can be used for beam scanning by pre-designing the start time of the modulation element. To realize the space-time-modulated metasurface with the required periodically time-varying responses, 2-bit unit-cells loaded with dynamically switchable pin diodes are employed as I/Q modulation. Both analytical and numerical results demonstrate that space and frequency domain manipulations of the reflected fields by the first order harmonics can be simultaneously obtained. The proposed designs have potential applications in wireless communications, radar camouflaging, and cloaking.
Part 1: Spatially Dispersive Metasurfaces: Zero Thickness Surface Susceptibilities & Extended GSTCs
Authors: Rahmeier Joao Guilherme Nizer Rahmeier , Smy Tom J. , dugan jordan , Gupta Shulabh
Published: August 2021

A simple method to describe spatially dispersive metasurfaces is proposed where the angle-dependent surface susceptibilities are explicitly used to formulate the zero thickness sheet model of practical metasurface structures. It is shown that if the surface susceptibilities of a given metasurface are expressed as a ratio of two polynomials of tangential spatial frequencies, k||, with complex coefficients, they can be conveniently expressed as spatial derivatives of the difference and average fields around the metasurface in the space domain, leading to extended forms of the standard Generalized Sheet Transition Conditions (GSTCs) accounting for the spatial dispersion. Using two simple examples of a short electric dipole and an all-dielectric cylindrical puck unit cells, which exhibit purely tangential surface susceptibilities and reciprocal/symmetric transmission and reflection characteristics, the proposed concept is numerically confirmed in 2D. A single Lorentzian has been found to describe the spatio-temporal frequency behavior of a short dipole unit cell, while a multi-Lorentzian description is developed to capture the complex multiple angular resonances of the dielectric puck. For both cases, the appropriate spatial boundary conditions are derived.
Vertically Integrated Combline Filters in Multilayer PCB
Authors: Stander Tinus
Published: August 2021

Vertical stacking of planar line resonators in multilayer media is an effective footprint reduction technique for high order filters, but strong broadside line coupling often negates the possibility of narrowband filters. It is shown that vertically stacking combline resonators with rotated centerlines leads to moderate bandwidth filters. Four variations of a 5th order filter are demonstrated, achieving 1.92 – 3.3 dB IL over 10% FBW around 10 GHz while occupying between 6.62 – 22.47 mm2 surface area on a 7 layer PCB.
Work-Energy Principle Based Characteristic Mode Theory for Wireless Power Transfer Systems
Authors: Lian Renzun , Xia Mingyao , Guo Xingyue
Published: August 2021

Work-energy principle (WEP) governing wireless power transfer (WPT) process is derived. Driving power as the source to sustain a steady WPT is obtained. Transferring coefficient (TC) used to quantify power transfer efficiency is introduced.

WEP gives a clear physical picture to WPT process. The physical picture reveals the essential difference between transferring problem and scattering problem. The essential difference exposes the fact that the conventional characteristic mode theory (CMT) for scattering systems cannot be directly applied to transferring systems.

Under WEP framework, this paper establishes a CMT for transferring systems. By orthogonalizing driving power operator (DPO), the CMT can construct a set of energy-decoupled characteristic modes (CMs) for any pre-selected objective transferring system. It is proved that the obtained CM set contains the optimally transferring mode, which can maximize TC.

Employing the WEP-based CMT for transferring systems, this paper does the modal analysis for some typical two-coil transferring systems, and introduces the concepts of co-resonance and ci-resonance, and reveals some important differences and connections “between transferring problem and scattering problem”, “between co-resonance phenomenon of transferring systems and external resonance phenomenon of scattering systems”, and “between so-called magnetic resonance and classical electric-magnetic resonance”.

Published: August 2021

La donación, ligada al altruismo, es una categoría conceptual asociada principalmente a disciplinas como la sociología y la psicología, este concepto afín a emociones como: ayuda al prójimo, simpatía, empatía y pro-socialidad. Desde la disciplina económica-financiera, tiene su vínculo con la transferencia de renta de un agente económico a otro, donde el decremento de la renta del agente donante se ve compensado con un incremento en su satisfacción producto de la donación. En el ámbito empírico, desde la perspectiva de la empresa, se advierte que tales conductas altruistas se verían reflejadas en las transferencias monetarias que éstas realizan a organizaciones donatarias autorizadas, registradas por la contabilidad gubernamental mexicana. Con base en la información pública del Gobierno de México, el objetivo es relacionar el índice de especialización de la renta, con el índice de especialización en altruismo.

Published: August 2021

En este artículo se ofrece una reflexión sobre las consecuencias de la pandemia en la investigación en las humanidades y las artes. Se analiza como un fenómeno complejo, es decir, tejido en conjunto con otros datos, hechos o fenómenos, cuyas características visibles lo colocan como un fenómeno que no hemos pensado bien, sin nombre conocido, fuera de las disciplinas y sin normas conocidas, cuyo abordaje requiere algo más que la sola cognición disciplinada. Seguimos para su desarrollo una estrategia dialéctica, como un medio de acceso al conocimiento, no lógico; sino como dispositivo epistemológico. Se analizan en forma de preguntas las bifurcaciones que derivan de las condiciones de la pandemia y ejemplificamos a partir de los estudios de performance y sociológicos, como dispositivos teóricos, una variedad de manifestaciones artísticas en línea que nos permiten preguntarnos por el surgimiento de nuevas formas de ser (fenómenos humanos o artísticos) e, incluso, de un nuevo modo de ser investigador en las humanidades y las artes.
 
Abstract
This paper reflects the consequences of the pandemic on research in the humanities and the arts. First, it is analyzed as a complex phenomenon woven together with other data, facts, or phenomena. Its visible characteristics place it as a phenomenon that we have not thought of well, without a known name, outside disciplines, and without known norms, whose approach requires more than just disciplined cognition. Second, we follow a dialectical strategy for its development, as a means of access to knowledge, not logical but as an epistemological device. Third, we analyze in the form of questions the bifurcations that derive from the conditions of the pandemic. Finally, we exemplify from performance studies and sociological ones, as theoretical devices, various artistic manifestations online. Both allow us to ask about the emergence of new ways of being (human or artistic phenomenons) and new ways of being a researcher in the humanities and the arts.
Algunas manifestaciones actuales de la música indígena en Sonora, México
Authors: Ferrales Nápoles Marybel
Published: August 2021

La riqueza de la tradición musical indígena de Sonora estriba en su variedad y significados constituyendo un factor importante en la identidad de sus pueblos. Sin embargo, las investigaciones sobre la música de las culturas autóctonas de la región son escasas; por ello, se hace necesario un estudio enfocado a su significación como fenómeno cultural colectivo y a su análisis musical. El objetivo de este  trabajo es dar a conocer como se manifiesta actualmente la música de algunas etnias del estado de Sonora mediante la trascripción y análisis de obras representativas. Se inició recogiendo las evidencias auditivas y visuales de la música indígena que ha llegado a nuestros días como producto de un largo proceso histórico en diferentes etnias del Estado de Sonora. Se seleccionaron cinco obras extraídas de grabaciones propias o facilitadas por Lutisuc (2007), las cuales fueron transcritas y acompañadas con una breve descripción del contexto donde se interpretan y su análisis melódico, armónico, formal y métrico, así como los procesos de acompañamiento, entonación y timbre de voces. Se concluye que la música indígena contemporánea interpretada en el territorio sonorense es trasmisora de los pensamientos actuales de las etnias; en muchos casos, reconstruyendo parámetros antiguos para moldear las generaciones actuales y no interpretándose fuera del contexto local.
Abstract
The richness of the indigenous musical tradition in Sonora lies in the variety and meanings constituting an important factor in the identity of their towns. However, the research about the music of the native cultures on the region are only a few; therefore, it is necessary a study focusing the meaning as a collective cultural phenomenon and his musical analysis. The objective of this work is releasing information of how music is currently manifested today in some ethnic groups of Sonora through transcriptions and analysis of representatives works. It began by collecting auditory and visual evidence of indigenous music that has reached our days as a product of a historical process in different ethnic groups in the State of Sonora. Five works were selected from own recordings or provided by Lutiscu (2007), which were transcribed and accompanied with a short description of the context where they are interpreted and its melodic, harmonic, formal and metric analysis; as well as the accompaniment, intonation and timbre of voices. It concludes that contemporary indigenous music performed in the Sonoran territory it is a transmitter of the actual thoughts of the ethnic groups; in many cases, rebuilding old parameters to shape current generations and not interpreting itself outside the local context.

Published: August 2021

One of the recurring questions when it comes to BioHackathons is how to measure their impact, especially when funded and/or supported by the public purse (e.g., research agencies, research infrastructures, grants). In order to do so, we first need to understand the outcomes from a BioHackathon, which can include software, code, publications, new or strengthened collaborations, along with more intangible effects such as accelerated progress and professional and personal outcomes. In this manuscript, we report on three complementary approaches to assess outcomes of three BioHackathon Europe events: survey-based, publication-based and GitHub-based measures. We found that post-event surveys bring very useful insights into what participants feel they achieved during the hackathon, including progressing much faster on their hacking projects, broadening their professional network and improving their understanding of other technical fields and specialties. With regards to published outcomes, manual tracking of publications from specific servers is straightforward and useful to highlight the scientific legacy of the event, though there is much scope to automate this via text-mining. Finally, GitHub-based measures bring insights on some of the software and data best practices (e.g., license usage) but also on how the hacking activities evolve in time (e.g., activities observed in GitHub repositories prior, during and after the event). Altogether, these three approaches were found to provide insightful preliminary evidence of outcomes, thereby supporting the value of financing such large-scale events with public funds.

Further, we introduce the notion of supra b-irresolute soft functions as a generalization to the supra b-continuous soft function and study their properties in detail. Finally, we show that, the surjective supra b-irresolute soft image of supra soft b-connected space is also supra soft b-connected. of P^n mainly for n = 3; 4, containing a prescribed number of lines or having infinitely many lines.

We extend some of the usual notions of projective geometry over a finite field (arcs and caps) to the case of zero-dimensional schemes defined over a finite field Fq. In particular we prove that for our type of zero-dimensional arcs the maximum degree in any r-dimensional projective space is r(q + 1) and (if either r = 2 or q is odd) all the maximal cases are projectively equivalent and come from a rational normal curve.

With the Agile development approach, the software industry has moved to a more flexible and continuous Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which integrates the stages of development, delivery and deployment. This trend has exposed a tendency of increasing reliance on both unit testing and test automation for the fundamental quality-activities during the code development. To implement Continuous Software Engineering (CSE), it is vital to assure that unit-testing activities are an integral and well-defined part of a continuous process. This paper focuses on the initial role of actual testing – viewing unit testing as a quality indicator during the development life cycle. We review the definition of unit-testing from the CSE world, and describe a qualitative study in which we examined implementation of unit testing in three software companies that recently migrated to CSE methodology. The results from the qualitative study corroborate our argument that under the continues approach, quality-based development practices such as unit testing are of increasing importance, lacking common set of measurements and KPI's. A possible explanation to this may be the role of continuous practices as well as unit testing in the software engineering curriculum

Short-Term Load Forecasting for buildings has gained a lot of importance in recent times due to the ongoing penetration of renewable energy and the upgradation of power system networks to Smart Grids embedded with smart meters. Power System expansion is not able to keep pace with the energy consumption demands. In this scenario, accurate household energy forecasting is one of the key solutions to managing the demand side energy. Even a small percentage of improvement in forecasting error, translates to a lot of saving for both producers and consumers. In this paper, it was found out that Aggregated 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks can be effectively modeled to predict the household consumption with greater accuracy than a basic 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network model or a classical Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average model. The proposed Aggregated Convolutional Neural Network model was tested on a 4 year household energy consumption dataset and gave very promising Root Mean Square Error reduction

Cannabis sativa and ketamine are common substances of abuse causing psychotic events and neurodegeneration. In this study, the effect of pretreatment with Cannabis sativa extract on oxidative stress, inflammatory mediators and brain damage induced by ketamine was investigated. Rats were treated with subcutaneous injections of cannabis extract (10, 20, 30 or 40 mg/kg; expressed as Δ9-THC content) daily for three weeks and then in combination with ketamine (15 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) for another 5 days. Rats were tested for biochemical markers of oxidative stress including malondialdehyde (MDA) reduced glutathione (GSH), and nitric oxide (NO) concentrations in brain. Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity, and levels of the proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in brain were also determined at the end of treatment period. Results indicated that compared with the saline control group, ketamine induced significant elevation in brain MDA and NO, which was accompanied by depletion of GSH and inhibition of PON-1 activity. Ketamine also significantly increased brain IL-1β and TNF-α and induced neuronal necrosis, apoptosis and vacuolation. Cannabis sativa (20-40 mg/kg) pretreated rats showed lower levels of oxidative stress and inflammation and doses of 30 or 40 mg/kg slightly reduced neuronal apoptosis and necrosis. These findings suggest that cannabis constituents do not enhance the neurotoxic effects of ketamine and might partly counteract the effects of ketamine-induced NMDA antagonism by reducing the release of free radicals and inflammatory mediators in brain
Where the response to migration begins
Authors: Álvarez-Álvarez Elena
Published: August 2021

Migration is one of the main problems in the modern world, one which is globally generated, but left to the individual’s or small community’s initiative. My proposal is that any solution – including the people’s exigence to governments – must start with ethics, particularly by exchanging attitudes of prejudice and indifference toward migrants for attitudes of responsibility toward the other in need, and solidarity. I discuss some texts from Zygmunt Bauman because he has been one of the most renowned analysts of our society, and he himself was an exile.
Keynote: How education gets in the way of learning
Authors: Masters Geoff
Published: August 2021

The formal structures and processes of school education – including the organisation of the school curriculum, processes for assessing student learning, methods of reporting performance, and the uses to which student results are put – are often inconsistent with what is now known about the best ways to promote human learning. Rather than being designed to maximise every student’s learning, these structures and processes often reflect 20th century priorities, including the use of school education to sort and select students into different education and training destinations, and future careers. This sorting function of schooling is becoming increasingly irrelevant in knowledge economies that now look to their school systems to provide every student with high levels of knowledge, understanding and skill, including skills in critical and creative thinking, problem-solving, using new technologies, and working collaboratively with others. The challenge is to ensure that every student reaches the levels currently achieved by only some. However, the structures and processes of today’s schools are often poorly designed to meet this challenge.
Developing an assessment of oral language and literacy: Measuring growth in the early years
Authors: Cloney Dan , Picker Kellie
Published: August 2021

Children develop rapidly in their early years. A crucial component of this development is a child’s ability to learn and use language. Even before they enter formal education, children have learned much about oral language and literacy through meaningful interactions with others, and from their life experiences. Children, however, do not develop at the same pace – some children arrive in early childhood education and care (ECEC) programs more advanced while others require additional support. Recent reviews of the assessment tools available to ECEC educators show a lack of good quality measurement and a reliance on checklist style inventories or narrative approaches. This paper presents a new measure of oral language and pre-literacy specifically designed to be accurate enough to reliably measure an individual child’s growth. Results from a combined calibration of children’s responses using a many-facets item response model show the measure to be reliable, valid and sensitive enough to measure growth within children and between groups of children over time. Implications for future assessment development and for educators’ practice are discussed, including how such measures can provide insight into what children know, understand, and can do (Reynolds, 2020) and what educators can do to support future learning experiences targeted at children’s specific language and literacy needs.
Státní kalendář jako pilíř první československé republiky?
Authors: Kessler Vojtěch
Published: August 2021

The First Czechoslovak Republic had a distinctive impact on Czech and Slovak historic awareness, despite its relatively short duration. One of the reasons for this was the elaborate system of state symbolism, for instance state holidays. This article focuses on the genesis of origin of the system of state holidays, its implementation within the terms of everyday or annual “operation” and finally also on its reception in a multi-national state. The systém of state holidays was represented chiefly by the date of celebration of the birthday of President T. G. Masaryk (3 March), the First of May, the date of the anniversary of the Battle of Zborov (2 July), the Feast of Jan Hus, the feasts of Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius and also Saint Wenceslas, and particularly the 28 October, which was the date the republic had been established.

Published: August 2021

Los nevus melanocíticos agminados (NMA) son poco reportados en la bibliografía mundial. El nevus agminado (NA), puede presentar varios orígenes, dependiendo de ello pueden desarrollar características displásicas, con riesgo potencial de desarrollar melanoma y entrar a formar parte del Síndrome de Nevus Displásico (SND) de acuerdo a su diagnóstico clínico, dermatoscópico, histológico e historia familiar. El objetivo del presente trabajo es presentar y discutir el caso clínico de un paciente masculino de 26 años de edad sin antecedentes patológicos, evaluado en la Clínica Dermatológica Skinlaser en Quito Ecuador en mayo 2020, que presentó múltiples nevus en la superficie corporal, especialmente en la espalda a nivel posterior e interescapular. El estudio enfatiza la importancia de los controles dermatoscópicos y el seguimiento para hacer el reconocimiento de signos de atipia y cambios que hacen sospechar de malignización.
