Pelvic inflammatory disease by actinomyces: report of 1 case and review of the literature
Authors: Camacho Herrera Cesar Giovanni , Sanchez Raul D. Lara , Garcia Narmy Olivera , Bibiano Karla E. Abundiz
Published: January 2020

Actinomycosis is a chronic disease that is characterized by the formation of abscesses, fistulas and dense fibrous tissue at the site of involvement. Its distribution is worldwide. However, pelvic actinomycosis has increased in frequency and has been associated with abdominal surgery, intestinal perforation or trauma, due to the destruction of the muscular barrier. The clinical elements of suspicion are the latency of months and even years of symptoms and the history of being a carrier of an intrauterine device. Actinomyces israelli is a rare etiological agent of pelvic inflammatory disease, so it is difficult to reach the diagnosis. A case report is made of a 48-year-old patient with an intrauterine device older than 5 years, who entered the emergency department with abdominal pain syndrome and 7-day evolutionary fever accompanied by dyspareunia. She was hospitalized for antibiotic treatment, presenting an unsatisfactory evolution, with increased leukocytosis and persistent abdominal pain. An exploratory laparotomy with abdominal hysterectomy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was pelvic inflammatory disease due to actinomyces. We must always suspect in the presence of a pelvic inflammatory disease in any of its clinical forms, the presence of actinomyces as one of the possible causative germs, especially in patients with intrauterine device for more than 5 years.

Published: January 2020

Background: Vocal cords are the most common site of laryngeal pathologies. Hoarseness is the sentinel symptom for lesions affecting the glottis. The aim of this study was to categorize various types of lesions affecting the glottis in patients undergoing microlaryngeal surgery. Patients’ demographic profile, gender, occupational factors were studied. Clinical, microlaryngeal and histopathological correlation of the lesions was done.

Methods: 50 patients with glottic pathologies undergoing microlaryngeal surgery were included. Patients underwent detailed examination including indirect laryngoscopy, flexible fibreoptic laryngoscopy, followed by microscopic laryngeal examination under general anaesthesia. The lesions were excised using standard microlaryngeal instruments and the specimens were subjected to histopathological examination. The data was analysed.  

Results: There was male preponderance (male: female ratio of 1.27:1). Housewives formed the largest group (28%). Commonest pathologies were vocal nodules (34%), vocal polyps (22%) and carcinoma (22%). Microlaryngoscopy was found to be the best means of visualizing the lesions and reaching a clinical diagnosis. In 10 (20%) patients, the final histopathological diagnosis was different from clinical diagnosis.

Conclusions: In this study, vocal nodules were the commonest lesions to affect the glottis. Microlaryngoscopy proved to be the best method for examination. Also, there was discrepancy in the clinical and histopathological diagnosis in 20% cases.

Authors: Khabibullin R. M.
Published: January 2020

A noncoplanar controlled heliocentric flight to Venus of a spacecraft with a non-perfectly reflecting solar sail is considered. The aim of the heliocentric flight is to get a spacecraft into Hill sphere of Venus with zero hyperbolic excess velocity. An algorithm has been developed for applying the locally optimal control laws for the fastest change of the osculating elements. Solar sail orientation is controlled by thin-film control elements arranged along the solar sail surface perimeter. The flight trajectory, the control program and the required width and area of thin-film control elements are obtained as a result of motion simulation.
Solving the problem of minimax closed-loop control of liquid-propellant launch vehicle fuel consumption control
Authors: Shorikov A. F. , Kalev V. I.
Published: January 2020

The paper provides mathematical formalization and a method of solving the problem of minimax (guaranteed) closed-loop terminal control of fuel consumption of a liquid-propellant launch vehicle power plant. The initial discrete-continuous nonlinear model of the controlled object is linearized along the given reference phase path and is approximated by a linear discrete-time multistep dynamical system. The approximated system includes the state vector, the control vector and the disturbance vector that defines the error of formation of the approximated model. Taking into account the geometrical constrains of control and disturbance vectors in the approximated system, we formulate the main problem of minimax closed-loop terminal control of propellant consumption of the launch vehicles propulsion system. This problem consists in solving a number of auxiliary tasks of minimax open-loop terminal control. To solve each of these tasks we use an instrument of development and analysis of generalized attainability domains of the approximated linear discrete dynamical system. These techniques are implemented by modifying the general recurrent algebraic method. To solve the problems under consideration we propose an approach and an appropriate numerical algorithm that is reduced to the implementation of a finite sequence of only one-step algebraic and optimization operations. The efficiency of the proposed approach to solving the problem under consideration is demonstrated and verified by a computer simulation example. This simulation example consists in controlling the process of propellant consumption for Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicles third stage propulsion system.
Fuzzy-controller simulation model as a tool of optimization of a limited availability ground handling system at a hub airport
Authors: Romanenko V. A.
Published: January 2020

The task of optimizing the optimal quantity of technological resources of a hub airport’s functional subsystem, executing an individual process step of ground handling, is considered. This problem is relevant to hub airports. The analysis is limited to limited availability systems in which handling of certain orders can be performed only by certain resources which are used in reference to automated and mechanical equipment, industrial equipment, personnel, etc. The optimization problem is formulated in a probabilistic statement. An approach to solving the problem is described. We suggest using a simulation computer model as an optimization tool. The model takes into account the features of passenger flows and the operating process of a hub airport and includes a fuzzy controller that reflects the logic of the airport operator who controls the ground handling process. The paper describes a model example of solving an optimization problem indicating the possibility and expedience of using a fuzzy controller as a model for the strategy of a human operator. Time dependence of the quantity of technological resources of the functional subsystem is the main result of optimization. This dependence is applicable at the stages of making decisions concerning increase of its capacity rate, operative resource management, planning staff shift work, solving a number of other tasks, especially relevant for hub airports with intense but non-uniform flows of aircraft and passengers.
Application of differential evolution algorithm in the problem of aeroassisted orbital plane change maneuver
Authors: Elisov N. A. , Ishkov S. A. , Khramov A. A.
Published: January 2020

The paper deals with application of the differential evolution method in optimizing aeroassisted orbital plane change maneuver performed by an aerospace vehicle with a high lift-to-drag ratio. The vehicles motion relative to the Earth is described by a system of differential equations in the flight path axis system. The angle-of-attack and the air path bank angle control programs are presented in the form of Fourier series and thrust control has the form of flip-flop control. The results of solving problems without phase parameter constraints obtained by the differential evolution algorithm were compared with the results obtained using Pontryagins maximum principle. The solution of the optimization problem taking into account temperature limitations at the stagnation point was obtained on the basis of the differential evolution algorithm.
SARs on an 835 kb DNA fragment from the Drosophila genome.
Authors: Miassod R , Jullien N
Published: January 2020

We have investigated the loop organization of a 835 kilobases DNA fragment from the Drosophila genome. This analysis has focused on the periodicity of the distribution of anchoring sequences (SARs) and its relationship to the distribution of A,T-rich regions, transcription units, repeated elements, putative replication origins and topoisomerase II cleavage sites. Altogether, the data support the idea of an active participation of SARs to the structural organization and functioning of this eukaryotic genome.
Inhibition of transcription starting from bacteriophage lambda pR promoter during the stringent response in Escherichia coli: implications for lambda DNA replication.
Authors: Szalewska-Pałasz A , Wegrzyn G
Published: January 2020

Replication of lambda plasmid DNA is halted in amino acid-starved wild type (stringent) strains whereas it proceeds in relA (relaxed) mutants. The only transcription which could be important in lambda plasmid DNA replication in amino acid-starved Escherichia coli cells is that starting from the pR promoter. Using a fusion which consists of the lacZ gene under the control of bacteriophage lambda pR promoter we found that transcription starting from this promoter was inhibited during the stringent, but not the relaxed, response in E. coli. We confirmed our conclusion by estimating the relative level of the pR transcript by RNA-DNA hybridization. We propose that decreased transcription from the pR promoter which serves as transcriptional activation of ori lambda is responsible for inhibition of lambda plasmid replication during the stringent response. The results presented in this paper, combined with our recent findings (published elsewhere), indicate that the transcriptional activation of ori lambda may be a main regulatory process controlling lambda DNA replication not only during the relaxed response but also in normal growth conditions.
Interaction of alkylresorcinols with proteins.
Authors: Kozubek A
Published: January 2020

Alkylresorcinol homologs form stable monomolecular layers at air-water interface. Their interaction with proteins present in the subphase results in an increase of alkylresorcinol molecular packing in the extent dependent upon the protein studied. Strongest effects were observed for proteins with large hydrophobic regions, e.g. glycophorin or serum albumin. Interaction of proteins with alkylresorcinol monolayers is stronger than with phospholipids. A decrease and a shift of intrinsic protein fluorescence upon interaction with the compounds studied support their involvement in alteration of hydrophobic regions. For trypsin, 50% quenching was observed at the alkylresorcinol/trypsin ratio of 0.75. Concomitantly, an apparent inhibition of the enzymatic activity was noted. These results indicate that direct interaction of alkylresorcinols and modulation of enzymatic activities should be recognised as a significant part of the biological effect of these cereal bran components.
Expression analysis of a Cucurbita cDNA encoding endonuclease.
Authors: Szopa J
Published: January 2020

The nuclear matrices of plant cell nuclei display intrinsic nuclease activity which consists in nicking supercoiled DNA. A cDNA encoding a 32 kDa endonuclease has been cloned and sequenced. The nucleotide and deduced amino-acid sequences show high homology to known 14-3-3 protein sequences from other sources. The amino-acid sequence shows agreement with consensus sequences for potential phosphorylation by protein kinase A and C and for calcium, lipid and membrane-binding sites. The nucleotide-binding site is also present within the conserved part of the sequence. By Northern blot analysis, the differential expression of the corresponding mRNA was detected; it was the strongest in sink tissues. The endonuclease activity found on DNA-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis coincided with mRNA content and was the highest in tuber.
Nonhistone chromosomal proteins (NHCP) in adenocarcinoma of human endometrium.
Authors: Miturski R
Published: January 2020

Concentration and electrophoretic pattern of nonhistone chromosomal proteins (NHCP) in cancer and normal endometrium were examined. In normal tissues the NHCP/DNA ratio ranged from 0.6 to 0.8 whereas in malignant tissues from 1.2 to 1.7. Mean nuclear concentration of NHCP was 14.16 pg/cell nucleus of normal endometrium and 33.35 pg/cell nucleus of cancer tissue. The two tissues differed in the electrophoretic pattern. Heavy fractions (> 60 kDa--36%) predominated in normal tissue whereas light fractions (< 30 kDa--48%) in malignant tissue samples. The percentage of intermediate fractions (30-60 kDa) was similar. Neoplastic endometrium shows, irrespective of the patient's age, a high NHCP content. It seems that NHCP, especially the fraction extracted with 0.35 M NaCl, because of its tissue and cell specificity are involved in neoplasm formation.

CD investigations on conformation of H-X-(Pro)n-Y-OH peptides (X = Trp, Tyr; Y = Tyr, Met); models for intramolecular long range electron transfer.
Authors: Wierzchowski K L , Majcher K , Poznański J
Published: January 2020

Conformations of three series of peptides: H-Trp-(Pro)n-Tyr-OH (n = 1-5), H-Trp-(Pro)n-Met-OH (n = 1-3) and H-Tyr-(Pro)n-Met-OH (n = 1-3), used as models in studies on long range electron transfer through protein matrix, were investigated by CD spectroscopy in aqueous solution at pH 5.2 in the temperature range of 10 degrees C-90 degrees C. CD spectra of their component N- and C-terminal dipeptide and oligoproline fragments were also measured under similar conditions. In interpretation of the spectra the cistrans equilibrium about X-Pro bonds was taken into account and CD spectra of Trp-Pro and Tyr-Pro chromophores in trans and cis configuration of the peptide bond were evaluated. The spectra of n = 3-5 peptides from the first series and those with n = 2-3 from the other two series exhibit a strong negative band in the 202-207 nm region, the strength of which is proportional to the number of Pro residues in the (Pro)n bridge, and characterized by a large temperature decrement. In view of close similarity between characteristics of this band and the 206 nm band of aqueous oligoproline peptides (n > or = 3), known to attain a left handed helical conformation similar to that of 3(1) helix of the all-trans poly-L-proline II, this band was attributed to a conformation of the latter type. H-Trp-(Pro)2-Tyr-OH does not form this conformation due to sterical interaction between the two bulky aromatic side chains. Conclusions drawn from analysis of the CD spectra are supported by 1H and 13CNMR data reported elsewhere.
Evidence for the involvement of a 66 kDa membrane protein in the synthesis of sterolglucoside in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Authors: Lenart U , Haplova J , Magdolen P , Farkas V , Palamarczyk G
Published: January 2020

The membrane-bound sterolglucoside synthase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been solubilized by nonionic detergent, Nonidet P-40, Triton X-100, and partially purified by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and ammonium sulfate fractionation. SDS/PAGE of the purified fraction revealed the presence of two protein bands of molecular mass 66 kDa and 54 kDa. In an attempt to identify further the polypeptide chain of sterolglucoside synthase, the partially purified enzyme was treated with [di-125I]-5-[3-(p-azidosalicylamide)]allyl-UDPglucose, a photoactive analogue of UDP glucose, which is a substrate for this enzyme. Upon photolysis the 125I-labeled probe was shown to link covalently to the 66 kDa protein. The photoinsertion was competed out by the presence of unlabeled UDPglucose thus suggesting that this protein contains substrate binding site for UDPglucose. Since photoinsertion of the probe to protein of 66 kDa correlates with the molecular mass of the protein visualized upon enzyme purification we postulate that the 66 kDa protein is involved in sterolglucoside synthesis in yeast.
Evaluation of Two Vegetation Indices (NDVI and VCI) Over Asi Basin in Turkey
Authors: DİKİCİ Mehmet , AKSEL Murat
Published: January 2020

Climate change and global warming are among the issues that humanity is most concerned about the future. The growing drought and flood risks that increase despite the taken measures have led to the adoption of an integrated understanding on the topic of water management in recent years. To manage the increased risk of drought and to make sustainable planning, the dimensions of drought should be known first. For this purpose, many drought indices have been developed. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Vegetation Condition Index (VCI), which determined by remote sensing, are two of these. In this study, in which the agricultural drought was analyzed with vegetation indices by taking into consideration the historical drought archive, the Asi Basin was addressed. The data of the Asi Basin, which covers an area of 7800 km2 and was obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellites, was used in this study. With the satellites benefited in remote sensing and with the Coordination of Information on the Environment (CORINE), where the layers of vegetation were determined, agricultural and forest areas were evaluated separately. The vegetation indices, which change with the increase in temperature, have revealed the necessity of a long-term drought management for the Asi Basin. Result of the work pointed that NDVI index is more appropriated to the Asi Basin than the VCI index to monitor drought.

A Logistic Regression Model Comparing Astronomy And Non-Astronomy Teachers In Québec’s Elementary Schools
Authors: Chastenay Pierre , Riopel Martin
Published: January 2020

Based on the results of an online survey of 500 Québec’s elementary (K-6) teachers conducted in 2015 that probed the way respondents teach astronomy to their classrooms, their background in S&T, their pre-service education, their aims and goals for astronomy teaching, their attitude toward teaching astronomy, the resources and materials they use, their view on the effectiveness of pre- and in-service training, and their need for in-service training, we present a logistic regression model comparing elementary teachers in our survey that teach astronomy to their class (“Astronomy” teachers, N = 244) and those who don’t (“Non-astronomy” teachers, N = 256), to reveal factors that seem to facilitate or hinder astronomy teaching in Québec’s elementary classrooms. Based on the model, several ways to enhance the teaching of astronomy in Québec’s K-6 classrooms are proposed: offer high-quality pre- and in-service training in astronomy to elementary teachers, raise the profile of science teaching in elementary schools, and help teachers realize the importance of teaching astronomy in their classrooms to cover the curriculum standards.
El concepto de ‘imperio’ en el pensamiento político griego clásico
Authors: Olivera Diego Alexander
Published: January 2020

In this article we shall study the notion of ‘empire’ in classical Greek political thought. Our aim is arguing that such a concept establishes a notion of empire in which live together the ideas of legitimate authority and of despotic domination. This is important because we seek to register that notion within the Greek worldview, avoiding comparison with the Modern conception. Finally, we assert that both ways of conceptualizing the notion of empire emerge from the extant tension within the State between the egalitarian volition of the polis and its expansionist targets.

Published: January 2020

O presente artigo apresenta um estudo da prestação de serviços sociais básicos do Poder Público pelo setor sem fins lucrativos como política neoliberal que impede o desenvolvimento nacional. De início, aborda a Constituição Econômica e o Estado Social e em seguida mostra o crescimento vertiginoso do setor sem fins lucrativos e das parcerias – voltadas à prestação de serviços públicos essenciais – firmadas entre o setor sem fins lucrativos e o Poder Público no Brasil nos últimos anos. Identifica o caminho da política pública brasileira para uma direção contrária ao desenvolvimento e expõe essa interligação e involução, além de abordar a administração burocrática, sua eficiência e a implementação desse modelo no Brasil. Ao final, defende o fortalecimento do Estado Social, por meio da prestação de serviços públicos sociais básicos diretamente pelo Poder Público como medida necessária a se alcançar o desenvolvimento. O estudo utiliza o método dedutivo com base em pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, tendo como referencial teórico a teoria da burocratização de Max Weber, o conceito de desenvolvimento como liberdade de Amartya Sen e a obra do filósofo André Barata, responsável pela introdução do Estado Social como instrumento frente à austeridade e garantia para sair da crise.
Controle De Constitucionalidade E O Paradoxo Do Criacionismo Jurídico: Aproximações Ao Problema Jusfundamental Do Novo Positivismo No Âmbito Da Política Criminal Brasileira
Authors: Guimarães Isaac Sabbá
Published: January 2020

Este artigo tem como preocupação central o crescimento da participação do judiciário na política criminal brasileira que, mesmo levada a efeito com o propósito de fazer-se o controle de constitucionalidade de regras penais e processuais penais, tem gerado, paradoxalmente, inconstitucionalidades. Assim, o problema aqui proposto pode ser expresso pelo seguinte questionamento: a política criminal desenvolvida por juízes, na esfera do controle de constitucionalidade de regras penais e processuais penais, encontra amparo jusfundamental material? O objetivo perseguido é a demonstração de que esse novo modelo de positivismo coloca em causa alguns dos pilares de sustentação da Constituição. Para tratar da problemática, recorrer-se-á ao método indutivo.

Authors: Reis Junior Almir Santos
Published: January 2020

Apresenta-se, neste trabalho, o estudo sobre a intervenção estatal na proteção de bens jurídicos supraindividuais sob a ótica da dogmática penal. O objetivo é verificar se a ingerência penal, na criação de crimes de perigo abstrato, para proteção de tais bens, encontra adequada receptividade por parte dos princípios constitucionais penais. Seu estudo é importante, na medida em que a não legitimidade da intervenção penal poderá suscitar a inconstitucionalidade dos crimes desta natureza. Para esta tarefa utilizou-se o método dedutivo, por meio do levantamento bibliográfico sobre o tema. Os resultados encontrados relevam que a intervenção penal é legítima e encontra amparo em novos paradigmas que devem nortear o direito penal moderno, na proteção de bens coletivos em submissão aos interesses coletivos.

Authors: Miravalls Jaume Martí
Published: January 2020

El presente artículo tiene por finalidad analizar la propagación de la nulidad por infracción del Derecho de la Competencia. Para ello, tras analizar el fundamento de la nulidad, el trabajo analiza cómo la propagación de la nulidad no es la solución correcta en todos los contratos conexos. En algunos supuestos la solución será la indemnización de daños y perjuicios por infracción del Derecho de la Competencia ejercitada por el perjudicado frente a la empresa infractora, aunque no tenga relación contractual directa con ella, pero no la nulidad.
Responsabilidade Civil Por Danos Extrapatrimoniais E Danos Ambientais Coletivos: Um Panorama Brasileiro
Authors: Miragem Bruno , Badia Ana Lúcia Seifriz
Published: January 2020

Este artigo objetiva repensar a atuação do homem contemporâneo sobre o meio ambiente e os efeitos produzidos, principalmente em relação aos chamados danos extrapatrimoniais e aos danos ambientais coletivos. Para tanto, é usado o método dialético e como referencial teórico o funcionalismo, a fim de definir qual é o papel da responsabilidade civil na sociedade brasileira contemporânea e quais as medidas que são ou podem ser adotadas para que se possa projetar um futuro com um meio ambiente sustentável. De início, após uma rápida referência a alguns acidentes ambientais do século XX no mundo, a responsabilidade civil é situada no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, tendo como principal norma a Constituição Federal (art. 225, § 3º) e a chamada Teoria do Risco integral (responsabilidade ambiental objetiva). Num segundo momento, é definido o que é um dano extrapatrimonial (lesão aos valores reconhecidos por uma comunidade), bem como o que é um dano coletivo (multiplicidade de efeitos danosos, com múltiplos prejudicados). A seguir, vários acontecimentos da vida cotidiana e também da jurisprudência brasileiras são citados, com um exame dos efeitos dos desastres ambientais na qualidade de vida da população. Por fim, a partir das funções da responsabilidade civil, é possível afirmar que nenhum sistema é perfeito e mais do que um sistema jurídico, um futuro sustentável depende da atitude e conscientização do homem em relação a si e aos outros, incluindo o respeito às diferenças e ao próprio meio ambiente no qual ele vive.
Risco De Desastre E Responsabilidade Civil No Antropoceno
Authors: Carvalho Renata Martins de
Published: January 2020

Os desastres constituem um tema recorrente na modernidade em razão da magnitude dos fenômenos naturais e da gravidade dos danos causados, com prejuízos progressivos, perda de vidas humanas, destruição de infraestruturas sociais e econômicas, e danos significativos aos ambientes natural e artificial.

Estudos científicos indicam que as atividades humanas constituem a causa dominante das mudanças climáticas e da intensificação do “risco de desastre”, que geram novos riscos e potencializam os danos futuros, especialmente, nas áreas urbanas dos países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil, onde a mortalidade e os danos são proporcionalmente maiores.

O presente artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre os desastres no contexto da problemática urbana brasileira e da inevitabilidade dos desastres no século XXI, por meio da investigação das definições de risco de desastre, vulnerabilidade e desastre na perspectiva social; da análise da mitigação da vulnerabilidade para evitar ou reduzir os danos futuros; da eleição do princípio da prevenção para a abordagem do risco de desastre e da elucidação da relação dos desastres com o Direito, como ferramenta de políticas públicas para redução do risco de desastre e de imputação de responsabilidades aos atores envolvidos.
El diseño como herramienta de desarrollo humano sostenible = Design as a tool for sustainable human development
Authors: Pérez Calleja Ángela
Published: January 2020

ResumenLa actividad del diseño industrial se desarrolla en un contexto y unas circunstancias, los cuales, concretados en problemas y necesidades, marcan sus objetivos y su dirección de evolución. El diseño es por definición desarrollo, cambio, y por ello puede generar un impacto en la realidad en la que existe. Las personas son las protagonistas del desarrollo, y también del proceso de diseño, que según las metodologías más actuales, como el design thinking y el diseño centrado en el ser humano, debe generarse por y para las personas, como herramienta de respuesta a sus problemas. Esta herramienta de cambio se proponecomo una nueva funcionalidad del diseño. Sus características se definen mediante una comparación de metodologías: de aquella propia de la producción artesanal, y de la propia del diseño industrial proyectual (tradicional y actual), buscando sus similitudes y diferencias, ydesembocando en una integración equilibrada de ambas, que generará un proceso combinado capaz de originar una mejora en situaciones de subdesarrollo.AbstractThe activity of the industrial design is developed in a certain context and circumstances, which may be specified by problems and needs, settling its objectives and direction. Design means by definition development, change, and that is the reason because it can generate an impact in the reality in which it exists. People are the principal subjects of development, and also of the designing process, which according to the modern methodologies like design thinking and human centered design, must be generated by and for human beings, as a tool for solving their problems. This tool for change is proposed as a new usefulness of design.Its characteristics are defined though the comparison of methodologies: the one used by the craftwork production and the one used by planning industrial design (traditional and contemporary), searching for its similarities and differences, and finally leading to a balancedintegration of both of them, that will generate a combined process capable of originate an improvement in underdevelopment situations.
