Published: May 2020

Esta investigação analisa nas teses e dissertações brasileiras em Educação Ambiental os significados atribuídos aos desastres ambientais. A pesquisa busca elucidar que ideias estão presentes no debate sobre os desastres ambientais nas pesquisas em Educação Ambiental até o ano de 2016 e suas implicações para os processos de “desterritorialização nos desastres ambientais”. O trabalho é uma “pesquisa bibliográfica”, no qual aplica-se análise de conteúdo ao corpus documental. Foram identificadas três categorias com temáticas emergentes da análise exaustiva do material. Observou-se uma tendência em discutir os desastres ambientais em uma abordagem que considere as dimensões sociais e naturais articuladas às questões políticas que envolvem a temática. Conclui-se também sobre a ausência de uma discussão profunda da desterritorialização associada aos desastres, temática fundamental segundo os pressupostos teóricos do presente trabalho.
Strain energy method for solving wave problems of a flexible thread
Authors: Bryukvin A.V. , Bryukvina O.Yu.
Published: May 2020

The paper considers the behavior of a flexible deformable thread when longitudinal and transverse waves pass through it. The processes occurring in a thread during the passage of a wave perturbation through it are analyzed under the assumption that the wave front zone is limited comparing with the length of the thread but not assuming this quantity to be of infinite smallness. In contrast to other similar works, no assumptions were made in advance about the shape of the thread in the zone of the wave perturbation passage (the fracture of the thread) and the dependence of the tension force on its elongation. The only requirement is the implementation of the general theorems of dynamics. Formulas for the relation of the thread speed before and after the passage of the wave with a change in the angle of thread inclination are obtained making possible solving wave propagation problems in a new way. The method is illustrated by new solutions to known problems, which allows comparing the obtained results with known solutions and verifying the advantages of the proposed method.
Global-local modeling of single-shear composite – metal and composite – composite bolt joints in aircraft structural components
Authors: Eremin V.P. , Bolshikh A.A.
Published: May 2020

In performing design strength analysis of connection areas of composite — metal and composite — composite types of structural load-bearing wing and empennage elements of the aircraft implemented using mechanical fasteners, it is necessary to considerthe factors determining the local strength of these areas: the conditions of mechanical contact of the body, bolt head and cap with connected elements, the connected elements contact with each other and the effects of friction. These factors can be taken into account only by applying the global-local modeling approach for constructing 3D prediction models of composite — metal and composite — composite joint zones of aircraft caisson structural members. To solve this problem, a method is proposed defining the means and tools of modeling, algorithms for constructing a prediction model and performing calculations, as well as procedures for analyzing the results of calculations.

Authors: ASLAN Ahmet
Published: May 2020

Kurucusu Ulrich Beck (1944-2015) olan risk toplumu kuramı; sanayi sonrası geç/ileri modern toplumu, düşünümsel risk, düşünümsel modernleşme, modernliğin eleştirisi, küreselleşme, kozmopolitanizm, (dinsel) bireyselleşme, sekülerleşme ve ekoloji gibi kavramlarla okuyarak tanımlamaya çalışan bir girişimdir (s.16). Beck’in risk toplumu kavramsallaştırması, kendisinden sonraki sosyolojik arayışlara üzerinde tartışılabilecek verimli bir zemin hazırlamış ve başta Giddens olmak üzere birçok sosyologa yeni bakış açıları geliştirmede ilham kaynağı olmuştur (s.16-17). Günerigök; bir doktora tezi olan, risk toplumuna dair kavramsal sosyolojik bir giriş olarak tanımladığı bu çalışmasında, ana tema olarak risk toplumu-din ilişkisine yoğunlaşmıştır. Çalışma; risk toplumunda ortaya çıkan yeni dinsellikleri, tarihsel ve kuramsal boyutlarıyla sekülerleşme, dinsel bireycilik ve kozmopolitanizm üçgeninde tartışmaya açmaktadır. Giriş ve sonuç dışında dört bölümden oluşan çalışmanın bölüm başlıkları, Risk Toplumu Sosyolojisi, Düşünümsel Modernleşme Sosyolojisi, Yeni Sosyolojik Temayüller ve Risk Toplumu ve Din şeklindedir. Çalışmanın, odak noktası açısından bekleneceği gibi, daha hacimli olan bölümü dördüncü bölümüdür. Yeni bir sosyoloji arayışının kavramsal dünyasını betimleyici bir özellik gösteren çalışmada; risk, düşünümsellik, geleneksel ve ileri/geç görünümleriyle modernleşme, postmodernizm, dünya risk toplumu, küreselleşme, düşünümsel kozmopolitanizm, kurumsallaşan bireyselleşme, kozmopolitan din sosyolojisi, din ve dinsellik (ilişkisi) gibi birçok kavram ve konu günümüzden geleceğe bir projeksiyon oluşturacak tarzda yoğun bir anlatımla işlenmektedir.
The Early History of the Levant Company (Levant Kumpanyası’nın Erken Dönem Tarihi)
Authors: YILDIZ Furkan
Published: May 2020

Levant ticareti, Orta Çağ’da İtalya elinde olan Doğu mallarının Hristiyan dünyasına ulaşma imkânı bulduğu bir ticaret olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Sonraki dönemlerde, İngiliz hegemonyasına giren bu ticareti, etkin olan tüccarlar bağlamında incelemek Levant ticaretinin ilk dönemlerini anlamak noktasında geniş bir perspektif sağlayacaktır. M. Epstein’in 1908 yılında kaleme aldığı The Early History of The Levant Company (Levant Kumpanyası’nın Erken Dönem Tarihi) kitabı, konuyu iki ana dönem de on bir başlık altında inceleyerek bu ticaretin kapsamını ortaya koymuştur. Kitabın ilk bölümü içerisinde erken dönemde (1592-1605) kurulan ve bölgesel üstünlüklere dayalı olarak ticaret yapan Türkiye, Kumpanyası ve Levant Kumpanyaları değerlendirilmiştir. Kitabın ikinci bölümünde ise Levant ticaretini 1640 yılına kadar kalıcı ticari üstünlükler ve imtiyazlar gibi birçok unsuru göz önüne alarak değerlendirmiştir. Dr. Epstein’in bu çalışması hem dönemi çalışan tarih araştırmacılarına mahkeme tutanakları, mektuplar ve liman/gemi bilgileri gibi orijinal belgelerle Levant ticaretinin doğasını ve işleyişini anlama imkanı sunarken hem de dönemin uluslararası ilişkilerini siyasi tarih çerçevesinden anlama imkanı sunmaktadır. Bir asırdan önce kaleme alınmış olan bu eser özellikle ülkemizde Levant konusunu çalışan kişilere, dönemin Osmanlı kaynaklarına ek olarak İngiliz kaynaklarının da kapılarını açmıştır. Çalışma bu açıdan bakıldığında Levant Kumpanyası’nın ticari hacmine ek olarak bu ticaretin dünya siyasetine ne derece damga vurduğunu da ilgili ülkelerin arşivlerini kullanarak ortaya koymuştur.

Published: May 2020

Günümüzde yaşam şartlarının değişmesi ve bireylerin, ailelerin dışarıda yemeyi sosyal bir aktivite olarak görmesiyle dışarıda yemek yeme bir ihtiyaç hâline dönüşmüştür. Bu yüzden lokantalar, evinden uzakta olan veya farklı lezzetleri tatmak isteyen, başka ülkelerden veya şehirlerden gelen ve geldikleri yörenin lezzetlerini merak edip denemek isteyen insanlar için önemli yerler olmuşlardır.
Gözlem ve görüşme yöntemine dayanan bu çalışmada, Rize’de lokanta ve onların biraz daha modern hâli olan restoranlar incelenmiştir. Özellikle lokanta sahipleriyle yüz yüze görüşmeler yapılmış, lokantalarda yapılan gözlemler ve menü kartlarının incelenmesi sonucunda elde edilen bilgiler değerlendirilmiştir. Bunun yanında yöre halkıyla da konuşmalar gerçekleştirilmiş, kaynak kişilerden alınan bilgiler ışığında ve yörede yapılan gözlemler sonucunda değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuştur. Böylelikle yörenin dışarıda yeme kültürü lokantalar üzerinden incelenmiştir. Çalışma, Rize’nin köklü bir tarihe sahip olan ve yöresel lezzetlere ağırlık veren lokantalarıyla sınırlandırılmıştır.
Ayrıca çalışmada, yörede tarihi bir geçmişi olan lokantalar da tanıtılmış, ildeki ve ilçelerdeki bu yerlerin çoğunun kuşaktan kuşağa aktarılan geleneksel bir yapıya sahip olduğu, Rizelilerin kendi şehirleri dışında başka yerlerde de lokantacılığı meslek edindikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND: Older adults require special attention during cognitive-motor tasks since automatic postural control is reduced.

AIM: To analyze the effect of physical exercise on dual-task processing of healthy older women performing standing balance.

METHOD: Sixteen healthy older women were assessed in a quiet standing position with eyes open/closed (single-task, EO, and EC) and with a cognitive task (dual-task, DT) using a Wii Balance Board. All individuals performed training (aerobic, strength, and virtual reality exercises) at moderate effort. Center of pressure (CoP) anteroposterior and mediolateral displacement were analyzed over time pre- and post-training. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare pre- and post-training.

RESULTS: Greater variability in CoP was observed pre- compared to post-training. In the DT, there was a significance decrease in post-training variability compared to pre-training (p<0.01).

CONCLUSION: Physical exercise programs for older adults may contribute to simultaneously improving motor-cognitive performances, associated with improvement in the divided attention.
Understanding the influence of a cognitively demanding task on motor response times and subjective mental fatigue/boredom
Authors: Thompson Chris , Fransen Job , Beavan Adam , Skorski Sabrina , Coutts Aaron , Meyer Tim
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND: Several methods are used to induce mental fatigue; predominantly the modified Stroop task, which arguably has little relation to daily lifestyle tasks.

AIM: To investigate the influence of the modified Stroop task on mental fatigue, boredom and motor response times.

METHOD: 15 subjects (24.3±2.3 years) completed a 30-min modified Stroop task (control condition: 30-min reading) and completed PRE, POST and POST 5-min subjective ratings of mental fatigue, mental effort and boredom. Participants' ability to use congruent and inhibit incongruent precues in a choice reaction time task (CRTT) was measured pre- and post- Stroop and control.

RESULTS: Significantly higher subjective ratings of pre-post condition mental fatigue (pre:2.43±1.31 AU, post: 6.42±2.08 AU,p<0.01) and boredom (PRE: 1.65±1.49 AU, POST: 5.03±2.92 AU,p<0.01) were reported following the modified Stroop task condition compared to the control condition mental fatigue (PRE: 1.62±1.17 AU, POST: 2.10±0.92 AU,p>0.05) and boredom (PRE: 1.94±1.52 AU, POST: 3.32 ± 1.66 AU,p>0.05). No significant differences were found between conditions for the extent to which participants’ response times were affected by congruent (p=0.481) or incongruent (p=0.225) precues.

CONCLUSION: Future research must adopt cognitive activities with higher contextual interference for greater ecological validity, and elucidate the impact of rest on recovery from mental fatigue.

Published: May 2020

Stratigraphic analysis of cored and geophysically logged boreholes in the Kasterlee-Geel-Retie-Mol-Dessel area of the Belgian Campine has established the presence of two lithostratigraphic units between the classical Diest and Mol Formations, geometrically related to the type Kasterlee Sand occurring west of the Kasterlee village and the study area. A lower ‘clayey Kasterlee’ unit, equivalent to the lithology occurring at the top of the Beerzel and Heist-op-den-Berg hills, systematically occurs to the east of the Kasterlee village. An overlying unit has a pale colour making it lithostratigraphically comparable to Mol Sand although its fine grain size, traces of glauconite and geometrical position have traditionally led stratigraphers to consider it as a lateral variety of the type Kasterlee Sand; it has been named the ‘lower Mol’ or ‘Kasterlee-sensu-Gulinck’ unit in this study. In the present analysis, the greenish glauconitic Kasterlee Sand in its hilly stratotype area evolves eastwards into the lower ‘clayey Kasterlee’ unit and possibly also into an overlying ‘lower Mol’ or ‘Kasterlee-sensu-Gulinck’ unit, although it is equally possible that the latter unit has an erosive contact and therefore is stratigraphically slightly younger than the type Kasterlee Sand west of the Kasterlee village. A lateral extension of this detailed stratigraphic succession into the faulted zone of east Limburg is proposed.

Published: May 2020

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between stock values of the companies serving in the transportation sector in Turkey and exchange rate. In addition to being an alternative investment tool for transportation sector share values, it is possible that the effects of exchange rate on the share values will be different with its structure affecting both their costs and their transportation demands. Therefore, it is likely to have a nonlinear relationship between the two variables. XULAS variable formed by transportation companies in the BIST index and TL equivalent of USD which is the basic exchange rate all over the world are used in the analysis. The data consists of 971 observations on a weekly basis covering the period between 2 January 2000 and 16 September 2018. The asymmetric causality test is used to determine the unidirectional causal relationship between the shocks in the variables. The obtained results reveal a situation contrary to the general view of negative relationship. It is also hoped that the findings will be useful in developing investment strategies for existing and potential investors in the market.

Sanayi toplumlarının endüstri performans modelinin bir yansıması olarak kurumsallaşan refah devletleri, modern devletlerin ileri sosyal düzeyi olarak kabul edilir. Sanayi üretim yapısının tam istihdam modelleri içinde ekonomik gelişme ile yakaladıkları uyumlu düzey, refah devletlerinin birçok sosyal riskle, istihdam başarıları yoluyla mücadele edebilmesine imkan sağlamıştır. Yoksulluk ve işsizliğin bireyin tembelliğinden kaynaklandığı iddialarına dayanan klasik liberal tezlerin aksine istihdam üzerinden gelire ve refaha ulaşma fırsatı veren refah devleti kurduğu sosyal güvenlik ve sosyal koruma mekanizmaları ile yoksullukla mücadelede geniş bir politika setinin oluşturulmasına kaynaklık etmiştir. Neo liberal ekonomi politikalarının yükselişi ile önemli bir kriz sürecine giren refah devletinin, sosyal politikalarında güç kayıpları yoksullukla ve yeni sosyal risklerle mücadelede yeni önerilerin gündeme taşınmasına neden olmuştur. Bu makale, refah devletinin güç kaybettiği süreçte yoksullukla mücadele politikalarındaki değişimin incelenmesini konu edinmektedir.
COVID-19: Implications for Food, Water, Hygiene, Sanitation, and Environmental Safety in Africa: A Case Study in Ghana
Authors: Saba Courage Kosi Setsoafia
Published: May 2020

Governments all over the world are currently grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic. While some countries were very hard hit, others were only mildly hit but all are still taking measures to mitigate the consequences. The virus emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and spread to most continents by the beginning of March 2020, which led to the World Health Organization declaring it as a pandemic on the 11th of March 2020. Since it was a novel disease, there was limited information on the virus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) belongs to the same family as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 1 (SARS-CoV-1) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Researchers all over the world started working simultaneously to understand the virus to provide the necessary treatment regime or vaccine in order to reduce the impact of the virus on its victims. Africa and other developing countries with limited resources and poor planning and management are expected to be among the worst hit in the long run. The implications of the COVID-19 on food, water, hygiene, sanitation, and the environment in Africa have been reviewed in this paper, as well as possible implications they may pose to the population, based on the existing common practices and their immediate impacts. This information can assist policymakers in Africa to adequately plan the management of the COVID-19 in order to lessen its impact on the population.
Narrative Discourse as an Emergent Phenomenon: Global Semiotic Approach
Authors: Livytska Inna
Published: May 2020

This theoretical paper continues a spectrum of research on sign character of narrative discourse on the background of modern post-classical theory of narrativity. It aims to uncover the relationships between the meaning of the narrative text and a sign signitication, assuming an intentional character of the narrative discourse governed by telic aspects (global semiotics). Global semiotic approach (Thomas Sebeok, 2001) views a narrative discourse as a self-organizing entity with purposeful (telic) character of all its constituent parts which turn a static text into a dynamic whole in the process of reading/perception/interpretation. The key notion for analysis of emergency is the term Umwelt (Jakob von Uexküll) to denote the perceptional world in which an organism (and a human) exists and acts as a subject. Therefore, Umwelt represents human’s perceptual boundary, which modifies the surrounding in accordance with the human’s subjective perspective. As Umwelt can be attributed to both biological and abiotic texts, meaning creation in the narrative discourse is compared to a semiotic study of comparative Umwelten (Cobley, 2014) where narrative is defined as a modeling device for the world creation through embodied subjectivity. It has been confirmed, that stressing on the subjective sphere of information eхchange and processing from the position of global semiotics necessitates introduction of basic principles of biosemiotics (i.e. semiotic scaffolding etc.) and teleology (i.e. cause, purpose, result) to analysis of narrative discourse and it constitutes the perspectives for further research in this domain.
Post-Vaccination Yellow Fever Antibodies Enhance Zika Virus Infection in Embryoid Bodies
Authors: Schultz Emily R. , Jones Tyanthony J. , Barr Kelli L.
Published: May 2020

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus that originated in Africa but emerged in Latin America in 2015. In this region, other flaviviruses such as Dengue (DENV), West Nile, and Yellow Fever Virus (YFV) also circulate, allowing for possible antigenic cross-reactivity to impact viral infections and immune responses. Studies have found antibody mediated enhancement between DENV and ZIKV, but the impact of YFV antibodies on ZIKV infection has not been fully explored. ZIKV infections cause congenital syndromes, such as microcephaly, necessitating further research into ZIKV vertical transmission through the placental barrier. Recent advancements in biomedical engineering have generated co-culture methods that allow for in vitro recapitulation of the maternal: fetal interface. This study utilized a transwell assay, which is a co-culture model utilizing human placental syncytiotrophoblasts, fetal umbilical cells, and a differentiating embryoid body to replicate the maternal: fetal axis. To determine if cross reactive YFV vaccine antibodies impact the pathogenesis of ZIKV across the maternal fetal axis, maternal syncytiotrophoblasts were inoculated with ZIKV or ZIKV incubated with YFV vaccine anti-sera, and viral load was measured 72 hours post inoculation. The data show that the impact of YFV on ZIKV replication is cell line dependent. In differentiating embryoids, the presence of YFV antibodies enhanced ZIKV infection. Since viral pathogenesis, and the impact of antigenic cross-reactive antibodies, is cell line specific at the maternal-fetal axis, this suggests there may be discreet mechanisms that impact congenital ZIKV infections.

Bongkot village has many people suffering from mental disorders. There are around fifty people suffering from mental disorders. Prediction of mental disorders at table three is usually done through interviews. Cadres need to fill out the form provided on the Towards Healthy Soul Card (KMSJ) at the interview. The form needs to be filled out based on the results of the interview to predict whether the interviewee has a mental illness or not. If the results of the interview are predicted to have a mental disorder, the cadre will recommend appropriate follow-up. This process is certainly prone to mistakes because it only depends on cadre knowledge. Predictions will certainly affect the recommendations given. in this community service program, the authors propose to apply Information Technology (IT) to reduce the risk of such errors.

Background : With evidence of warming climates, it is important to understand the effects of heat stress in farm animals in order to minimize production losses. Studying the changes in the brain proteome induced by heat stress may aid in understanding how heat stress affects brain function. The hypothalamus is a critical region in the brain that controls the pituitary gland, which is responsible for the secretion of several important hormones. In this study, we examined the hypothalamic protein profile of 10 pigs (15 ± 1 kg body weight), with five subjected to heat stress (35 ± 1 °C; relative humidity = 90%) and five acting as controls (28 ± 3°C; RH = 90%). Result: The isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) analysis of the hypothalamus identified 1710 peptides corresponding to 360 proteins, including 295 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), 148 of which were up-regulated and 147 down-regulated, in heat-stressed animals. The Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software predicted 30 canonical pathways, four functional groups, and four regulatory networks of interest. The DEPs were mainly concentrated in the cytoskeleton of the pig hypothalamus during heat stress. Conclusions: In this study, heat stress significantly increased the body temperature and reduced daily gain of body weight in pigs. Furthermore, we identified 295 differentially expressed proteins, 147 of which were down-regulated and 148 up-regulated in hypothalamus of heat stressed pigs. The IPA showed that the DEPs identified in the study are involved in cell death and survival, cellular assembly and organization, and cellular function and maintenance, in relation to neurological disease, metabolic disease, immunological disease, inflammatory disease, and inflammatory response. We hypothesize that a malfunction of the hypothalamus may destroy the host physical and immune function, resulting in decreased growth performance and immunosuppression in heat stressed pigs.

Published: May 2020

Background: Systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to evaluate efficacy and safety of anticoagulant therapy in patients with chronic cirrhosis complicated with portal vein thrombosis (PVT). Methods: The PubMed, The Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases were searched. The odds ratio (OR) and risks ratio(RR) with 95% CI was pooled to calculate the difference in the rate of portal vein recanalization and occurrence of bleeding events between patients who received anticoagulation and those who did not. All meta-analysis were conducted by using a random-effects model. Results: 8 studies with a total of 559 patients published between 2005 and 2019 were finally enrolled in our meta-analysis . The rate of portal vein recanalization was significantly higher with PVT who received anticoagulation and those who did not (OR = 4.689, 95% (95% CI = 3.274–6.716, P=0.000). And the pooled risk ratio of bleeding between the two groups was 0.828 (95% CI = 0.511–1.343, P=0.444). The heterogeneity was not statistically significant among studies, Begg’s funnel plot and Egger’s linear regression test were performed to evaluate publicantion bias. Conclusion: Anticoagulation therapy can significantly improve the recanalization rate of PVT patients with cirrhosis, and the bleeding related events caused by anticoagulation are relatively low, which is worthy of clinical promotion. However, more prospective trials are needed to know how to use anticoagulants.

Published: May 2020

Background: Palm oil is an important feedstock for biofuel. Palm oil yield is seriously affected by drought stress. However, not much is known about the molecular responses of oil palm to drought stress.Results: We studied the root transcriptomic responses of oil palm seedlings under normal culture and 14-day drought stress using RNA-seq and bioinformatics analysis. We identified 1293 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), involved in several molecular processes, such as cell wall biogenesis and functions, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and metabolisms, ion transport and homeostasis and cellular ketone metabolic process, as well as small molecule biosynthetic process. We observed that DEGs were significantly enriched into the two categories: hormone regulation and metabolism, as well as ABC transporters. In addition, we identified three protein-protein interaction networks involved in the response to drought stress, including ion transport, reactive nitrogen species metabolic process and nitrate assimilation. Finally, 96 differentially expressed transcription factors were detected to be associated with drought stress response, which were classified into 28 families.Conclusions : The transcriptomic responses of oil palm seedlings to drought stress were systematically analysed, revealing important genes, pathways, networks and transcription factors involved in drought stress responses. These results provide new insights into the mechanisms of drought stress responses in economic crops. The genes and pathways identified in this study provide valuable genomic resources to improve drought tolerance of oil palm by both genetic modification and selective breeding.

Background

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disorder characterized by high serum IgG4 concentration and IgG4-bearing plasma cell infiltration in affected organs. IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis is a recently identified disease entity in IgG4-RD that affects the cardiovascular system. Since the genetic factors related to disease onset are unclear, we examined the genetic associations with IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis susceptibility.
Methods

A recent genome-wide association study identified interleukin 1 receptor type 1 (IL1R1) gene variants in 75 patients with IgG4-RD. Accordingly, 8 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL1R1 gene were selected and genotyped in 124 patients with IgG4-RD (43 with IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis) and 344 healthy subjects. Serum IL-1β levels were also determined in 102 IgG4-RD patients.
Results

No remarkable SNP associations were detected between IgG4-RD patients and controls. However, the minor allele frequencies of 6 SNPs (rs2287049, rs3917273, rs2160227, rs951192, rs3917318, and rs7582198) were significantly increased in IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis patients (corrected P < 0.05). Serum IL-1β levels were significantly lower in patients with IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis (P = 0.011) but were not associated with any SNP.
Conclusions

This study indicated that IL1R1 SNPs contributed to IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis, but not IgG4-RD, onset. Our findings raise the possibility of certain genetic factors influencing the risk of specific IgG4-RD manifestations.
Morphological and molecular characterization of Ektaphelenchoides pini (Massey, 1966) Baujard, 1984 (Aphelenchoididae; Ektaphelenchinae) from Iran, with morphological and taxonomic observations on some species
Authors: Heydari Fariba , Pedram Majid
Published: May 2020

Ektaphelenchoides pini, the type species of the genus Ektaphelenchoides, was recovered from wood and bark samples of a dead broadleaf forest tree collected from the forests of Golestan province in north of Iran. The recovered population is mainly characterized by massive wide spicules of males with well-developed condylus marked by indentations at the apex and simple distal tip. It was further characterized by 756 to 947 μm long females having a cephalic region slightly separated from the rest body by a shallow depression, 20 to 23 μm stylet with wide lumen lacking conophore and knobs, excretory pore (E pore) at about one metacorpus length behind it, or 92 to 106 μm from anterior end and hemizonid just posterior to it, vagina anteriorly inclined, post uterine sac (PUS) ca 1.2 times vulval body width long, posterior body region elongate conoid, ending to a filiform tip, no functional rectum, a vestigial anus and common males with dorsally convex tail ending to an elongate spike and two pairs of precloacal (P2) and caudal (P3) large papillae at 5 to 6 μm distance anterior to cloacal opening and 30 to 41% of tail, respectively and lacking the single precloacal papilla (P1). In molecular phylogenetic analyses using small and large subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU, LSU rDNA) sequences, the Iranian population of E. pini fell in a clade including species of three genera Ektaphelenchus, Ektaphelenchoides, and Devibursaphelenchus in SSU, and a clade including species of Ektaphelenchus and Ektaphelenchoides in LSU tree, in close association with an isolate identified as E. pini in the latter phylogeny with high (0.99) Bayesian posterior probability (BPP). The comparisons with the type and French populations, as well as phylogenetic affinities of the species using ribosomal data, are discussed. This is the first report of E. pini from Iran, and its first simultaneous morphological and molecular phylogenetic study. New observations on some species of the genus were also presented and discussed.

The study tries to understand the aftermath infection breakout scenario pattern of Novel Coronavirus (nCov-19) from a Chinese city which is twofold in nature as per its purpose to understand its breakout and to discuss its sequential spreading over the globe. The study considers the variables responsible for such outbreak all over the globe with variation in its spreading rate or growth pattern. Social factors, behavioral factors and the frequencies of movement from Wuhan deals are carefully in the study. In the first part, study concentrated on the pattern of distribution over Wuhan and its spreading through international passenger’s movement. Further, the variables adopted are GDP per capita, air flight passenger before two weeks of spring festival, share of urban population, old age population and international tourist inflow. Control measures taken by the Chinese Government has minimized the transmission of nCovid-19 within the urban centers and provinces. The study also found that air flight passenger before two weeks of spring festival in’000 (2018 dataset), share of urban population and international tourist inflow are the three main significant variable to explain the outbreak scenario of nCovid-19.

Published: May 2020

The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional value of Tifton 85 grass (Cynodon dactylon (L) Pers) cultivated in a vertical flow constructed wetland (VFCW) system treating raw sewage. The VFCW operated according to the French system, but with only the first stage and two units in parallel, using a small footprint of 0.6 m2 per inhabitant. Wastewater feeding and resting periods were of seven days each. To evaluate the yield and nutritional value of the Tifton 85 cultivated, samples were collected after 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days of growth. They showed yields of 16, 28, 36, 36 and 38 t·ha−1 of dry matter (DM), respectively. The crude protein content decreased sharply during 60 days, however, with values of 29, 23, 15, 15 and 15% DM for the same days, respectively. The results indicate that Tifton 85 could be used for hay production and, to obtain better yield and quality, when used to treat raw wastewater the forage should be cut after between 45 and 60 days of growth.
Influence of ventilation in H2S exposure and emissions from a gravity sewer
Authors: Matos Rita Ventura , Ferreira Filipa , Matos José Saldanha
Published: May 2020

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of natural ventilation and intermittent pumping events in hydrogen sulfide and methane dynamics, in terms of system operation and risk of gas exposure. Work was conducted in a full scale gravity sewer downstream of pumping stations, in Portugal. Different ventilation rates and locations were assessed, as well as H2S removal rates and potential exposure risk, through the opening of distinct manhole covers. Increased ventilation, resulting from opening of one manhole cover, saw a 38% increase in average pipe air velocity peaks, doubling the estimated rate of air turnovers per day, accompanied by an increase of nearly 20% in H2S average removal rate. Simultaneous opening of two manhole covers induced similar airflow rates through the vent stack, but different rates throughout the pipe. H2S removal rates were also found to differ, according to location of open manholes, but also initial H2S headspace concentration. Under more unfavourable conditions, natural ventilation did not suffice in attaining recommended safety concentrations, regardless of number and location of open manhole covers. H2S concentrations above defined thresholds were verified for all studied setups. Headspace oxygen concentrations below an 18.5% asphyxiation threshold also occasionally occurred, even at manholes immediately downstream of ventilation point.
Stem Bromelain Proteolytic Machinery: Study of the Effects of its Components on Fibrin (ogen) and Blood Coagulation
Authors: Azarkan Mohamed , González Mariana Marta , Esposito Rafaèle Calvo , Errasti María Eugenia
Published: May 2020

Background:

Antiplatelet, anticoagulant and fibrinolytic activities of stem bromelain
(EC 3.4.22.4) are well described, but more studies are still required to clearly define its usefulness
as an antithrombotic agent. Besides, although some effects of bromelain are linked to its proteolytic
activity, few studies were performed taking into account this relationship.

Objective:

We aimed at comparing the effects of stem bromelain total extract (ET) and of its major
proteolytic compounds on fibrinogen, fibrin, and blood coagulation considering the proteolytic
activity.

Methods:

Proteolytic fractions chromatographically separated from ET (acidic bromelains, basic
bromelains, and ananains) and their irreversibly inhibited counterparts were assayed. Effects
on fibrinogen were electrophoretically and spectrophotometrically evaluated. Fibrinolytic activity
was measured by the fibrin plate assay. The effect on blood coagulation was evaluated by the prothrombin
time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) tests. Effects were compared
with those of thrombin and plasmin.

Results:

Acidic bromelains and ananains showed thrombin-type activity and low fibrinolytic activity,
with acidic bromelains being the least effective as anticoagulants and fibrinolytics; while basic
bromelains, without thrombin-like activity, were the best anticoagulant and fibrinolytic proteases
present in ET. Procoagulant action was detected for ET and its proteolytic compounds by the
APTT test at low concentrations. The measured effects were dependent on proteolytic activity.

Conclusion:

Two sub-populations of cysteine proteases exhibiting different effects on fibrin
(ogen) and blood coagulation are present in ET. Using well characterized stem bromelain regarding
its proteolytic system is a prerequisite for a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the
bromelain action.
