Clostridial Diseases of Horses: A Review
Authors: Uzal Francisco A. , Navarro Mauricio A. , Asin Javier , Henderson Eileen E.
Published: February 2022

The clostridial diseases of horses can be divided into three major groups: enteric/enterotoxic, histotoxic, and neurotoxic. The main enteric/enterotoxic diseases include those produced by Clostridium perfringens type C and Clostridioides difficile, both of which are characterized by enterocolitis. The main histotoxic diseases are gas gangrene, Tyzzer disease, and infectious necrotic hepatitis. Gas gangrene is produced by one or more of the following microorganisms: C. perfringens type A, Clostridium septicum, Paeniclostridium sordellii, and Clostridium novyi type A, and it is characterized by necrotizing cellulitis and/or myositis. Tyzzer disease is produced by Clostridium piliforme and is mainly characterized by multifocal necrotizing hepatitis. Infectious necrotic hepatitis is produced by Clostridium novyi type B and is characterized by focal necrotizing hepatitis. The main neurotoxic clostridial diseases are tetanus and botulism, which are produced by Clostridium tetani and Clostridium botulinum, respectively. Tetanus is characterized by spastic paralysis and botulism by flaccid paralysis. Neither disease present with specific gross or microscopic lesions. The pathogenesis of clostridial diseases involves the production of toxins. Confirming a diagnosis of some of the clostridial diseases of horses is sometimes difficult, mainly because some agents can be present in tissues of normal animals. This paper reviews the main clostridial diseases of horses.

BscF is a type III secretion system (T3SS) needle protein from Bordetella pertussis and has previously been shown to induce a sufficient Th1 and Th17 response in human monocytes and mice as a prerequisite for long-lasting protective immunity against pertussis infection. In our current study, we aim to compare the modulation of inflammatory signaling molecules as a direct measure of the immune response to the B. pertussis antigens BscF and Tdap in the presence or absence of the adrenergic receptor agonists phenylephrine (PE) or isoproterenol (ISO) to observe differences that may contribute to the diminished protective immunity of the current acellular pertussis (aP) vaccine, Tdap. Stimulation of human monocyte THP-1 cells with LPS, BscF, and Tdap induced a robust elevation of CCL20, CXCL10, PGE2, and PGF2α among most chemokine and prostanoid members when compared with the control treatment. Treatment with the adrenergic agonist PE or ISO significantly enhanced the BscF- and Tdap-stimulated modulation of CCL20 and CXCL10 but not PGE2 and PGF2α, suggesting that adrenergic modulation of pertussis antigen responses might be a new therapeutic strategy to improve the longevity of pertussis immunity. Stimulation of THP-1 cells with BscF alone initiated significant expression of CXCL10 and PGF2α but not when Tdap was used, suggesting that BscF might be an important pertussis antigen for next-generation pertussis vaccines or when combined with the current aP vaccine. Our data offer opportunities for designing new therapeutic approaches against pertussis infection.

Published: February 2022

Within a year after the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, several vaccines had been developed, clinically evaluated, proven to be efficacious in preventing symptomatic disease, and licensed for global use. The remaining questions about the vaccines concern the duration of protection offered by vaccination and its efficacy against variants of concern. Therefore, we set out to analyze the humoral and cellular immune responses 6 months into homologous and heterologous prime-boost vaccinations. We recruited 190 health care workers and measured their anti-spike IgG levels, their neutralizing capacities against the Wuhan-Hu-1 strain and the Delta variant using a surrogate viral neutralization test, and their IFNγ-responses towards SARS-CoV-2-derived spike peptides. We here show that IFNγ secretion in response to peptide stimulation was significantly enhanced in all three vaccination groups and comparable in magnitude. In contrast, the heterologous prime-boost regimen using AZD1222 and BNT162b2 yielded the highest anti-spike IgG levels, which were 3–4.5 times more than the levels resulting from homologous AZD1222 and BNT162b2 vaccination, respectively. Likewise, the neutralizing capacity against both the wild type as well as the Delta receptor binding domains was significantly higher following the heterologous prime-boost regimen. In conclusion, our results suggest that mixing different SARS-CoV-2 vaccines might lead to more efficacious and longer-lasting humoral protection against breakthrough infections.

Published: February 2022

Water environmental functional zoning is the crucial method to implement the targeted management of environmental factors, which is significant to protect the structure and function of the water ecosystem. Xiaofu River is the main river in Zibo City, which is a typical industrial city in northern China. This paper analyzes the water functional zoning of the Xiaofu River at the provincial and municipal levels. Thereinto, based on the catchment attribute and differentiated management requirement, the functional zone of the mainstream of Xiaofu River is divided into 5 first-level and 14 s-level water functional zones, where the environmental contamination carrying capacity of every functional zone is calculated and checked. It is suggested that the total amount of pollutants discharged into each functional zones should be further controlled and reduced in the future to restore the ecological functions of Xiaofu River.

Authors: Labokha K. , Prishchepov A. , Strotskiy A.
Published: February 2022

As a result of the research, it was found that the first reception of renewal felling in Pinetum pleuroziosum ensures the successful renewal of the pine. There is no tendency to change species in this type of forest. In clean Pinetum pteridiosum and Pinetum oxalidosum, after the renewal felling, successful renewal of the pine also takes place and its further growth and development. In mixed Pinetum pteridiosum and Pinetum oxalidosum (with an admixture of spruce up to 40–50% or more of the total stock), the renewal of pine is unsatisfactory. Instead, there is an active renewal of spruce, which indicates the presence of a tendency towards succession of pine with spruce.

Shows that electrons all of which reflect the behavior of the wave-particle duality observed in experiments. Although physicists consider a magnet and the existence of a magnetic field caused by the rotation of electrons, a new theory speculates that there has also been a permanent magnetic field recently. In addition, the choice of gate charge and permanent magnets can be selected as potential energy which is also considered as possible which has been observed to exist but has not been well described. Equations have been derived electrons. In this respect, Islamic science and technology seems to have demonstrated the importance of exploring the mysterious quantum world.

Today, advances in information and communication technology have had a huge influence on many parts of life, particularly in the corporate world. An e-business, or electronic business, is one of the new concepts available. Through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), e-mail, electronic bulletin boards, electronic cash transfers, and other network-based technology, this business model promotes the flow of information and paperless corporate transactions. An e-business information system (EBIS) is a device, technique, or set of business processes that use technological hardware, software, networks, and brainware to communicate, transact, and manage a range of business operations throughout an organisation without regard to time or location. The use of e-business information systems has become a critical component for businesses to attain national and global commercial success. Indonesia is regarded as a prospective state with the quickest e-business or e-commerce development. Despite this, businesses have not completely tapped into the benefits of e-business.

Published: February 2022

Network security measures are critical in maintaining a network; attacks that destroy the connection system between linked devices are incredibly harmful. To achieve network security, we must occasionally be uncomfortable with its use; this is typically a factor to consider when establishing a network security system. DOS (Denial of Service) attacks can be detected using the WIDS (Wireless Intrusion Detection System) approach. Implementing the Linux operating system with Snort as a sensor engine and Iptables as an attack handler can help protect wireless networks from potential threats. A WAN (Wide Area Network) network is constructed within the system configuration to reflect the test. The findings of the analysis of each test show that every action made by the attacker on the network can be identified, allowing for a remedy before more damage occurs.

Published: February 2022

There are several models that emulate the mechanical behavior of biological tissues. Its automation, new materials and manufacturing techniques will enable its use in the near future. This research is based on the use of compressed air in pneumatic muscles that actuate the phalanges. The research is important because it proposes a system that adapts to the needs and economic accessibility or people with limited resources. The problem to solve is that it meets certain standards such as: stable grip and pressure and that it adapts to irregularly shaped objects with more natural movements. The principle of communicating vessels and the force exerted by a fluid on the walls of the container that is used. Consequently, the fluid exerts pressure in all directions. The prosthesis with the design of the Flexy Hand 2 is manufactured by inserting pneumatic muscles to each of the fingers connecting them by means of nylon ropes that are attached to the homemade pneumatic muscles connected to a common manifold, regulating the pressure by means of a valve and a degree of freedom. As a result of the above, it can be concluded that the prototype worked favorably.

Published: February 2022

In the present study, we analyze the stress, anxiety, state, and academic features of 478 higher-level students. We identify the correlated factors using multiple linear regression and Pearson's correlation coefficients. We use the SISCO and STAI instruments to measure academic stress at the anxiety level. We determine that the most representative stressors in students are the teachers' evaluations with 31% as almost always and 11% as always, physical reactions such as drowsiness or need to sleep 31% as almost always, 12% always. Besides, reactions of depression and sadness show a 9% as almost always, 9% as always. Behavioral and coping reactions show 9% almost always and 9% always. The most outstanding anxiety reactions in the present research revealed that 48% of the students never feel calm, 40% never have happiness like others, 41% are never satisfied or comfortable with themselves. Some psychological changes related to stress and anxiety are closely linked to the suicide rate, derived from the fact that the generated uncertainty becomes a potential source of stress and vulnerability to depressive or anxiety disorders.

Published: February 2022

This research aims to know the stress level of teachers of one of the Santa Catarina Technological University majors and, if it is high, take the appropriate measures to try to reduce it to a safer proportion for teachers, and thus prevent teachers from getting sick or incapacitated very often. It is known to all that if the teacher does not fulfill his obligations, the one directly affected is the student, who will have a poor academic performance. To measure the level of stress, a questionnaire consisting of 23 questions will be applied to the teachers of the cited school, the options that will have to answer those questions are 4: nothing at all, a little, moderately and strongly, with values of 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively; The answers selected by the teachers will be added and compared with a low, medium and high scale. Subsequently, a relationship of the level of stress against teacher performance will be established through a statistical treatment, where the correlation of these variables will be established by the method of the linear correlation coefficient r of Pearson. Likewise, the equation of the regression line by least squares will also be established with its corresponding graph for analysis.

Published: February 2022

Mexico has an extension of railways that has not presented great variations through time. In spite of this, it does not lose importance in comparison with highways that have been increasing their construction and modernization. Therefore, the objective of the present investigation is to analyze the costs of rail and road land transportation as a proposal that optimizes the distribution of cargo merchandise in general in Mexico. This research is broken down into: the identification and selection of general cargo transportation routes to gather information on distances, time, transportation costs; the calculation of rail and road transportation costs of the selected routes as a comparative for decision making in the mobilization of merchandise; and finally the processing and modeling of the information that allows minimizing the costs of the routes in the mobilization of general cargo merchandise in the transportation types. The analysis carried out allowed to conclude that great efforts have been made focused on developing and increasing competitiveness in the railway system in Mexico, but it has not been able to strengthen itself as the most used mean of cargo transporting, even though, the rail transportation cost are lower than motor transportation for a same route.

The Sr3La(PO4)3:Eu3+ (SLP:Eu3+) phosphor was prepared with the coprecipitation method, which emited red visible-light along with a near-infrared (NIR) luminescence in the biological window region. The influence of synthesis temperature and Eu3+ doping concentration on the characteristics of the phosphor was discussed. The optimal crystallinity was obtained when the phosphor was doped with 0.7 mol% of Eu3+ and annealed at 1200 °C for 2 h. The particle size was approximately 1 μm. As compared with the SLP:0.01 Eu3+, the photoluminescence intensity of the SLP:0.07 Eu3+ increased by 4.95-fold at wavelength of 615 nm and 3.97- fold at 705 nm. The red SLP:Eu3+ phosphor with a high NIR emission is a potential candidate material for bio-image and bio-sensor applications.

In this study, we investigated a novel technology to grow the ZnO nanoflower arrays on a patterned sapphire substrate using hydrothermal method. The process to prepare the substrate and grow ZnO nanoflower arrays were that the patterned concave sapphire substrates were cleaned using acetone, isopropyl alcohol, and D.I. water in an ultrasonic cleaner. Al sacrificial layer with the thickness of 600 nm was deposited using a thermal evaporation technology. The sol-gel process was used to deposit the ZnO seed layer on the patterned concave sapphire substrates, and then the ZnO seed layer was annealed at 500°C in Ar ambient for 1 h. The optical grade silicone A-B glue was coated on the ZnO seed layer and then the mixed solution of K3Fe(CN)6 : KOH : H2O = 10 g : 1 g : 100 ml was used to etch the sacrificial Al layer. (f) A lift-off technology was used to move the ZnO seed layer/silicone A-B glue to silicon substrate. Finally, a hydrothermal method was used to grow the ZnO nanorods on the ZnO seed layer/silicone A-B glue/silicon substrate at 90oC with the different durations of 10 to 60 min. Focused ion beam system (FIB) was used to observe the cross sectional morphology of patterned ZnO seed layer. The crystal structural of the flower-like ZnO nanostructures was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, the morphological of the flower-like ZnO nanostructures was observed using FIB and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Also, the optical properties of the flower-like ZnO nanostructures were investigated.

Cognitive load (CL) theory suggests that instructional materials need to be designed for reducing unnecessary CL and has been regarded as one of the most influential theories in science education. How to measure individual CL is still under investigation. In this study, we developed an eight-channel dry-electrode electroencephalogram (EEG) system and proposed an algorithm to real-time measure the depth of working memory of the N-back task in a classroom environment. The ocular artifact was removed by using the recursive least-square (RLS) method. Time-frequency analysis was applied to extract event-related theta- band activities in the artifact-suppressed EEG signals. Eight participants had the active duration for theta-band activities as 1.44±0.36 mv, 1.70±0.22 mv, and 1.97±0.04 mv for 0-back, 1-back, and 2-back tasks, respectively. In contrast to the previous research that has used spectral power of particular frequency bands as signal features, we found the detection of active duration provides better discrimination power in classifying different CL levels, compared to that of the classification using features of spectral power. The result in this study demonstrates the feasibility of theta-band EEG as an indicator to measure students’ cognitive load in a classroom environment.

The Sociosemiotic Approach to Translation
Authors: Fang Y.Q.
Published: February 2022

Sociosemiotics takes all the signs in human society into consideration including linguistic signs and social-cultural signs. There is still some limitation in the semiotic theory of Morris. The limitation of semiotics urges a new perspective to think over the relationship between language and social culture. Under this circumstance, sociosemiotics was developed on the basis of semiotic theory. This paper tries to apply sociosemiotics approach to translation. It is found in the study that the sociosemiotic approach takes into consideration all the signs in human society including linguistic and social-cultural signs. Translating thus is regarded as the message transition between two semiotic systems. Translation study based on sociosemiotics has become a new research sphere along with linguistics, philosophy, aesthetics, psychology and sociology. The development and perfection of sociosemiotics inspire researchers to interpret the meaning of the text in a wider web of relationships among language, culture, psychology, and society. The equivalence translation from a sociosemiotic perspective can be applied in different discourses such as legal translation, foreign news translation, English business advertisements, to name just a few.
Kryteria, jakie powinny spełniać współczesne prace projektowe przekształcające formę i program użytkowy zabytkowej architektury sakralnej w świetle wybranych przykładów z Europy
Authors: Szumiński Konrad
Published: February 2022

Artykuł podejmuje wciąż aktualny problem przekształceń formy zabytkowej architektury sakralnej w procesie adaptacji do współczesnych funkcji użytkowych. Zjawisko sekularyzacji warunkuje konwersję funkcjonalną świątyń, a zatem wymaga od architektów odpowiedniego podejścia do projektowania w historycznym kontekście z poszanowaniem pierwiastka sacrum. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było sformułowanie zasad, jakie powinny obowiązywać podczas interwencji projektowych w zabytkowych obiektach sakralnych. Badania zostały oparte na studium przypadku wybranych przykładów z Europy, które ilustrują różny stopień ingerencji projektowych w historyczną substancję. Opisywane realizacje poddano ocenie konserwatorskiej na podstawie kryteriów dotyczących m.in. stopnia zachowania wartości zabytkowych oraz ze względu na charakter relacji między zabytkiem a współczesną formą architektury. W wyniku analiz wyodrębniono wnioski końcowe odnoszące się do preferowanych cech funkcjonalnych, przestrzennych, konstrukcyjno-materiałowych współczesnych uzupełnień architektonicznych w zabytkowych miejscach kultu religijnego.
Kamienica „Pod Kruki”, Rynek Główny 25, Kraków. Teraźniejszość historii – nawarstwianie przyszłości

Architektura to sztuka budowania, czyli gromadzenia trwałych materiałów i takie ich aglomerowanie, aby powstał utwór trwały, funkcjonalny i piękny (jak to opisuje witruwiańska triada: firmitas, utilitas, venustas). Zakończenie budowy oznacza początek trwania budynku. Trwanie architektury prawie zawsze wiąże się z wprowadzaniem zmian. Byłoby wspaniale pozwalać trwać architekturze w nieskończoność, z zachowaniem jej pierwotnych kształtów, faktur, materiałów. Postęp techniczny, zmiany w zakresie potrzeb, wypadki przyrodnicze i historyczne, i mnóstwo innych czynników powoduje konieczność wprowadzania zmian w obiekcie. Trwanie architektury to ciągłe zmiany i dobrze jest, jeżeli powstają one na drodze NAWARSTWIANIA. Nawarstwianie to jak pisanie książki, karta za kartą. Pozwala to potem na „czytanie” architektury, a z nią historii miejsca i ludzi. 

Nawarstwianie jest ciekawsze niż wymienianie. Strata w wypadku wymiany polega na tym, że poprzedni etap, który został usunięty, katastrofą czy świadomie, jest jak karta z książki wyrwana. Nowoczesna ingerencja w zabytkowy budynek musi szanować poprzednie karty, poprzednie nawarstwienia. Czasami może nawet pewne braki stron uzupełnić albo raczej wskazać. Mądre postępowanie nie kieruje się w takim wypadku wyłącznie poleceniami służb konserwatorskich. Empatia dla zapisów architektury/księgi to wyzwanie dla twórców, szczególnie architektów. Pokażemy taki proces na przykładzie kamienicy o numerze Rynek Główny 25 w Krakowie, która jest przykładem starannego unowocześniania struktury i przestrzeni z zachowywaniem czytelnych śladów. Jest także ukłonem teraźniejszości ku przyszłości nowego ducha tej przestrzeni.
