Published: May 2021

Background: Previous studies suggest that pregnancy upregulated non-ubiquitous calmodulin kinase (PNCK) depletion represses proliferation and promotes apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. However, the underlying mechanism of the regulatory role of PNCK on NPC invasion and metastasis remains unclear. Methods: The PNCK expression level was detected in specimens of non-metastatic and metastatic NPC by mRNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry. The wound-healing and transwell assays were employed to explore the ability of PNCK-mediated cell migration and invasion. Xenograft tumour model was adopted for monitoring tumour progression and lung metastasis was assessed by tail vein injection. Zebrafish model was used to explore the potential action of PNCK on tumor angiogenesis. We used gene set enrichment analysis and correlation analysis for mechanical investigation. Results: Human metastatic NPC samples showed increased PNCK expression in both mRNA and protein levels. In vitro assay showed that shRNA mediated silencing of PNCK inhibited NPC cell migration and invasion, while PNCK overexpression enhanced the metastatic potential of NPC cells. Additionally, in vivo experiments revealed that overexpression of PNCK favored the metastatic foci formation in the lung and tumor angiogenesis. Consistently, a significant increase of metastatic nodules in lungs in mice and the vascular-labeled fluorescence signal of zebrafish inoculated with PNCK-overexpression cells compared to control group. Pathway analysis identified that the depletion of PNCK may inhibits NF-κB/VEGF signaling pathway in NPC.Conclusions: These findings reveal that PNCK knockdown could suppress tumor metastasis and angiogenesis by regulating NF-κB/VEGF signaling pathway in NPC, suggesting that PNCK may represent a therapeutic target for NPC individualized treatment.

A hipersensibilidade dentinária (HD)é uma condição clínica comum e dolorosa que promove um desconforto ao paciente. A HD é causada devido à exposição da dentina no meio bucal pela perda de esmalte e cementodecorrente de vários fatores. A Laserterapia de Baixa Potência (LBP) tem sido proposta como terapia para a HD.Este trabalho investigou a ação da irradiação com LBPno tratamento da HD. Foi realizado um ensaio clínico randomizado cego do tipo “Split mouth” em 21 pacientes, submetidos a dois tratamentos distintos: verniz fluoretado e laserterapia (880nm; 100mW; 1J/cm2; 4 pontos; 1 sessão semanal por 4 semanas). O grau de sensibilidade foi avaliado por meio de Escala Visual Analógica (EVA) para o teste tátil com sonda exploratória e para a aplicação de ar comprimido. O LBP promoveu um efeito fotobiomodulador, apresentando uma remissão de 81,58% para dor provocada pelo estímulo tátil, sendo equivalente a ação promovida pelo verniz fluoretado (80%). Sobre a dor provocada com o ar comprimido, houve uma remissão de dor de 50% no grupo submetido ao LBP, enquanto no grupo submetido ao verniz se obteve55,71%. Conclui-se que o protocolo adotado para a LBP foi eficaz na remissão da dor provocada pela HD.

Authors: Sierova Iryna , Zhelezniakova Elina , Silichova Tetiana , Kunicheva Tetiana
Published: May 2021

The object of research: modern trends in the transformation of education.

The transition to the paradigm of knowledge was largely ensured by their universal computerization. This led to an understanding of the need to develop new approaches in educational activities based on the use of modern information technologies.

Investigated problem: taking into account the advantages of the content component in educational activities.

The teaching technology is built on the foundation of certain content, therefore, it is relevant to consider the content component in the context of the openness of education. If the concept of openness in education is based on the developments of fundamental education, introducing new qualities into it that correspond to the actual needs of the individual, then its content component presupposes an emphasis, first of all, on economic problems and ways of solving them.

Main scientific results: Existing databases contain mainly structured information, but a significant amount of them is unstructured. Joint analysis of data from various sources is possible only on condition that unstructured data will be structured, since only for the latter the mathematical apparatus of data processing is most developed.

To train a professional who can competently work with data, able to combine mathematical logic with the ambiguity of interpretations and concepts in economics and, accordingly, methods of obtaining data based on the purpose of the study is the task of specialties in economics.

Information technology and the creation of common platforms for open education are the instrument for solving this problem.

The area of practical use of the research results: the problem in training specialists of this profile is the ability to assess the accuracy of the initial information and the accumulation of errors during its processing.

An innovative technological product: the relationship of mathematics and statistics in the curriculum for training business analysts creates a platform, the use of which makes it possible to solve the issue of a balanced approach to the accumulation and processing of data, taking into account the desired results in a particular subject area.

Scope of application of an innovative technological product: only a competent internal policy of universities on the use of information technologies in teaching provides sufficient technical support in the relationship "student – teacher" aimed at complementing classical education technologies.

A case of left atrial free ball thrombus in a patient with prosthetic mitral valve
Authors: Ellaie Ahmed Mohamed Fawzy
Published: May 2021

A free left atrial ball thrombus is relatively a rare diagnosis and usually leads to systemic embolization or fatal complication of thrombus incarceration in left ventricle inflow. We report a case of 52-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital with symptoms of heart failure. Routine echocardiography showed a free-floating ball thrombus in the left atrium. The free-floating thrombus was round with smooth surface and about 3.7 mm in diameter. The mitral valve prosthesis was well-functioning. The computed tomography of the patient also showed the left atrial ball thrombus. The erratic finding was that the patient was compliant on oral anticoagulants for the last 6 months with her INR in theraputic range. This suggested that this thrombus had been there for a some time and anticoagulants failed to resolve this problem. She was referred to cardiac surgery for thrombus extraction but the patient refused to have the operation.

Síntomas neurológicos motores de inicio súbito en el síndrome de Leriche
Authors: Patiño Pérez Valentina , Tobar Solarte Juan Camilo , Imbachi Richard Fernando , Pinzón Fernandez María Virginia
Published: May 2021

El síndrome de Leriche es una enfermedad poco frecuente, con gran morbilidad y mortalidad, que ocurre debido a oclusión de las ramas principales de la aorta abdominal por debajo de la bifurcación de las arterias renales. Clínicamente, se caracteriza por la tríada de claudicación, impotencia y disminución de los pulsos femorales. El diagnóstico se confirma por ecografía Doppler abdominal o angiografía por tomografía computarizada y el tratamiento se basa en el restablecimiento del flujo por debajo del nivel de la oclusión. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con cuadro clínico atípico de dolor lumbar, paraparesia y livideces de miembros inferiores de inicio súbito, con rápido deterioro de su estado general que requirió intervención endovascular urgente. En esta ocasión, los síntomas neurológicos pueden ser explicados por la reducción del flujo sanguíneo de la arteria espinal magna, que en el 25 % de la población se origina en L1 o por debajo de ella y puede generar isquemia de la médula espinal. La presentación atípica de este reporte lo convierte en un desafío clínico de gran importancia.
Precipitation changes and their relationships with vegetation responses during 1982–2015 in Kunhar River basin, Pakistan

Precipitation is a major determinant of vegetation growth. The impact of precipitation variability is more pronounced in ecosystems where sensitive vegetation is apparent. Therefore, understanding the relationship between precipitation and vegetation is vital to guide appropriate measures towards fragile biomes. We investigated the trends and correlations between precipitation and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) for 1982–2015 over the Kunhar River basin, Pakistan, using satellite-derived NDVI and globally available interpolated precipitation datasets. Subsequently, we attempt to identify vegetation types that are influenced by precipitation changes. Results show a general decreasing trend in vegetation activity as we go from southern to northern portions of the basin. This decrease is also accompanied by the similarly decreasing precipitation trend in the same direction. The similarity of spatial patterns between the two variables can indicate that, in general, precipitation is playing a guiding role in determining vegetation distribution in the basin. Our lagged correlation analysis revealed that strong precipitation–vegetation correlations (r > 0.75) are rare in the basin. Agricultural and forested areas show moderate correlations (0.5 < r < 0.75) when NDVI is correlated with the previous month's precipitation values (lag1). In simultaneous month correlation (lag0) and the rest of the lagged correlations (lag2 and lag3), a weak association between precipitation and NDVI is observed. The moderate and weak correlations over the basin might indicate that precipitation is not the only factor influencing vegetation growth in the Kunhar River basin. Other climatic and biogeographic factors such as temperature, solar radiation, topography and soil characteristics also play additional roles in vegetation activities. The results can provide a technical basis and valuable reference to ecological management strategies in the Kunhar River basin for concerned decision-makers and stakeholders.

:

There is a new public health crisis threatening the world with the emergence
and spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The
disease was later named novel coronavirus disease or COVID-19. It was then declared a
pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The virus originated in
bats and was transmitted to humans through unknown intermediary animals in Wuhan,
Hubei province, China, in December 2019.

:

As of February 5, 2021, 103 million laboratory-confirmed cases and nearly 2.3 million
deaths were reported globally. The number of death tolls continues to rise, and a large
number of countries have been forced to maintain social distance in public place and enforce
lockdown. As per literature, coronavirus is transmitted human to human or human
to animal via airborne droplets. Coronavirus enters the human cell through the membrane
ACE-2 exopeptidase receptor. WHO, ECDC, and ICMR advised avoiding public places
and close contact with infected persons and pet animals. To date, there is no evidence of
any effective treatment for COVID-19. The main therapies being used to treat the disease
are antiviral drugs, chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine, and respiratory therapy. Although
several therapies have been proposed, quarantine is the only intervention that appears to
be effective in decreasing the contagion rate. We conducted a literature review of publicly
available information to summarize knowledge about the pathogen and the current epidemic.
In the present literature review, the causative agent of the pandemic, epidemiology,
pathogenesis, and diagnostic techniques are discussed. Further, currently used treatment,
preventive strategies along with vaccine trials and computational tools are all described
in detail.

Radiological and Pathological Diagnosis
Authors: Bakdik Suleyman , Poyraz Necdet , Kucukkartallar Teyfik , Oltulu Pembe
Published: May 2021

Background:

Pseudolymphoma of the liver (reactive lymphoid hyperplasia) (RLH) is a
rare condition. It is usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally on radiological imaging. Imaging
features are similar to hepatic adenoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and malignant
lymphoma and are not specific for pseudolymphoma of the liver. Percutaneous core biopsy
is insufficient to distinguish pseudolymphoma of the liver from low-grade malignant lymphoma
and extranodal marginal lymphomas.

Case Descriptions:

In this article, we present a case of hepatic RLH of a patient who was presented
with a skin rash on the leg and was detected incidentally on radiological imaging.

Conclusion:

Preoperative definitive diagnosis of hepatic RLH using various imaging methods, including
MRI with hepatocellular agents, is highly difficult.
A articulação entre advérbio e aspecto Uma proposta cognitivista e multimodal
Authors: Passos Hayat , Avelar Maíra
Published: May 2021

No Português Brasileiro, a expressão do aspecto não se restringe apenas a verbos, mas pode ser estendida a advérbios. Neste trabalho, temos por objetivo articular, no âmbito da Gramática Cognitiva, as categorias de advérbio, iteração e aspecto/aspectualidade, a fim de descrever a categoria advérbio aspectualizador de repetição. Além disso, demonstramos como a categoria em questão pode ser instanciada pelo esquema construcional parcialmente preenchido [QNT + vezes]. Considerando a relevância dos Estudos de Gesto na instanciação da categoria em análise, é apresentada a articulação entre aspecto e gestos na Gramática Cognitiva, assim como o modelo da Gramática de Construções do Enunciado. Posteriormente, são apresentados os procedimentos metodológicos de identificação e análise gestual, em correlação com a fala, assim como a coleta e a análise de exemplos ilustrativos. A discussão dos resultados evidencia que, as construções verbais instanciadas pelo esquema [QNT + vezes] podem ser atreladas à repetição gestual, marcando iteração ou reduplicação, e à ocorrência do Esquema Imagético gestual CICLO. Portanto, do ponto de vista multimodal, a sucessão de eventos ou atos repetitivos, veiculados na fala, constitui-se como uma ação limitada ou ilimitada, demonstrada nos gestos.
O estatuto aspetual do prefixo verbal des- em português europeu
Authors: Oliveira Duarte
Published: May 2021

Alguns estudos sobre o estatuto semântico e morfossintático dos prefixos apontam para que a suacontribuição para o predicado verbal tenha uma natureza aspetual. Na sua teoria adjuntiva dosverbos prefixados, Di Sciullo (1997, 2003, 2005) defende que os prefixos são projetados comoadjuntos na Forma Morfológica (FM) das derivações verbais e que podem ser definidos comoprefixos externos ou internos, dependendo da sua projeção com relação ao SV. Nesta abordagem,os prefixos subjugam-se ao Princípio da Identificação Adjunta (PIA), segundo o qual apresentampropriedades configuracionais específicas na estrutura. O prefixo des- em português é definidoenquanto prefixo externo, podendo veicular informação (não) aspetual externa à projeção verbal,mas também pode imputar informação aspetual interna em determinadas aceções. No presenteestudo, é feita uma revisão da abordagem adjuntiva e a sua aplicação a este prefixo. Uma análiseprimordial revela que des- impõe restrições selecionais à base verbal com que se combina,tendendo a selecionar verbos inerentemente télicos no seu valor reversativo e atélicos no seu valornegativo. No seu valor extrativo, postula-se que des- tenha o mesmo estatuto que um prefixointerno, identificando um traço terminativo [+T] na derivação verbal. As hipóteses formuladassão corroboradas através de uma análise de corpus.

(Title: Axiological Reflections on Noam Chomsky’s and M.A.K Halliday’sLanguage Theories). This article is meant to philosophically reflect Chomsky’s and Halliday’s language theories by focusing on the axiological dimension of their theoretical constructs, that is, what are the hidden values therein. To draw basic sketches of their theoretical constructs, their ontological and epistemological assumption are explored. Furthermore, Gruenberg’s axiological scheme is adopted to discuss them. From the chains of reflection, it is found that in Chomsky’s the positive pole of human­language relation exists in language with internal, mental, logical-objective, formal, neutral, innate, certain, transparent, stable, alogarithmic and closed or un-contextual characteristics. The superior language is scientific, positivistic and logical language. Meanwhile, in Halliday’s the positive pole exists in language with practical, external, semiotical, social, cultural, participatory, concrete, critical, dynamic, discursive, authentic, interpretative and open or contextual. The superior language is authentic language which is rich of signification.Key words: axiology, language theory, Chomsky, Halliday

(Title: The Humor of the Belantik Society in the Novel “Orang Biasa” by Andrea Hirata). Andrea Hirata consistently tells stories about the values of local wisdom and current social issues in simple language. One of the languages used in his novel is humor. This study aims to describe the form of humor and to examine the sociocultural factors of the Belantik people in Andrea Hirata’s novel (Ordinary People). The data were obtained by using baca-catat (reading and note­taking) technique. Data were analyzed qualitatively based on Berger’s humor theory, especially categories and techniques of humor. The findings of this study show that there are two categories of humor in interpersonal relationship, such as language and logic. The techniques of language consist of satire, literalness, and insult; while the techniques of logic consist of absurdity, analogy, dan repetition. Generally, the humor contained in this novel occurs as a result of close interpersonal relationships, such as the illogical way of thinking of a character, the way a character speaks to another character, and the way in which social criticism is delivered through the humor.Keywords: humor, satire, social criticism, absurdity

(Title: Learning Productive Language Skills Based on Cooperative Learning: AnExperiment of Brain Learning Models and Group Investigation). Course learning outcome (CPMK) provides clear direction for the learning process. In addition, it provides a real picture of actions and teaching and learning behavior for university students and lecturers. The learning processes and events that are interesting, fun, innovative, and creative will have a positive effect on the achievement of learning objectives. The statement indirectly requires lecturers to design and implement interesting learning models. The facts show that there are many learning models applied by lecturers that are not in accordance with the specified learning outcomes. The learning achievement of productive language skills (KBP) requires university students to be able to produce scientific papers published in the form of academic seminars. This demand has implications for the teacher’s obligation to prepare an interesting, effective, and fun learning model. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the BRAIN learning model on Productive Language Skills. This research was conducted at the Nusantara PGRI Kediri University in the odd semester of the 2019/2020 academic year with a sample of 62 students. The group was divided into 2 namely experiment and control. The experimental group used the BRAIN model and the control class used the Group Investigation model. The results showed that there were differences in the average language skills of students between the experimental class and the control class. If viewed from the KBP, the experimental class has an average value of 65.29 which is better than the control class of 63.88.Keywords: Brain Model, Group Investigation Model, Productive Language Skill

(Title: Just Like Black, Only Better: Poor White in Antebellum South of America Depicted in Solomon Northup’s Novel “Twelve Years as A Slave”). Antebellum era, the period before the Civil War occured, or before the year 1861, in the United States is used to relate to the enslavement of black American. In fact, the era was not merely about black, but also poor white. This study is purposed to describe the poor whites’ life in antebellum America as reflected in Twelve Years As A Slave (1855), a narrative biography novel written by Solomon Northup. Set up the story in New York, Washingotn DC, and New Orleans, the author (and focalizer at once) told the story based on his own experience as a black who was captivated and sold into slavery for twelve years. Although the novel centered its story on black character, it also reflected the life of poor whites who were also being “enslaved” by their white counterparts. Through sociology of literature perspective, this study reveals that the character of poor white that represented through John M. Tibeats, Armsby, and James H. Burch came from Great Britain especially from Ireland. Mostly, they moved to America as incarcerated people. They lived under the poverty and some of them were the vagrants and petty criminals. Poor white during antebellum era in America was positioned in the lower social level. They were “enslaved” by their white master but more better compared to the black slaves. It can be noticed that poor white were positioned in low social level because of the socio-economic problem, while blacks were race and racism.

Folklore is one of the intellectual works that was born as an expression of the world view of the supporting community. One of the folklore motifs found in a number of ethnic groups in Indonesia is that which tells about the marriage between earth men and angels from heaven. Among these folklore are Jaka Tarub (Java), Putri Surga (Papua), Cerita Air Tukang (Maluku), Betawol (Miraculous North Kalimantan), Malim Deman and Puti Bungsu (Riau), Tomanurun (Toraja), and Si Lanang and Punai (South Kalimantan). This study tries to compare and understand the motif of marriage between men of the earth and deities by using the perspective of feminism. The results showed that the deities had higher positions and abilities than men of the earth who married him. This means that the upper world (heaven or heaven) the place of origin of the deities in social stratification is considered higher than the underworld, even though the two complement each other. The existence of the motif of marriage between men of the earth and desities found in a number of ethnic groups in Indonesia shows a high appreciation for the figure of the mother as an ancestor who inherited certain ethnicities, which is a manifestation of the spirit of feminism in a number of folklores in Indonesia.Keywords: deities, world above, world below, feminism
