Aberrations of plane-symmetrical mirror systems with freeform surfaces. Part I: generalized ray-tracing equations
Authors: Caron Jérôme , Bäumer Stefan
Published: November 2020

The aberrations of reflective optical systems with one plane of symmetry are investigated in the most general case, with freeform surfaces and possibly different locations of the tangential and sagittal object and image. In this first paper in a series of two, we establish generalized ray-tracing equations including transverse aberrations up to the third order in ray coordinates. The ray-tracing treatment allows us to overcome difficulties linked to the non-existence of a suitable astigmatic wavefront reference. The obtained expressions can describe multi-mirror systems and include all induced aberration terms. As an illustration, a simple freeform off-axis mirror is analyzed.
Secret key distillation over satellite-to-satellite free-space optics channel with a limited-sized aperture eavesdropper in the same plane of the legitimate receiver
Authors: Pan Ziwen , Djordjevic Ivan B.
Published: November 2020

Conventionally, unconditional information security has been studied by quantum cryptography although the assumption of an omnipotent eavesdropper is too strict for some realistic implementations. In this paper, we study the realistic secret key distillation over a satellite-to-satellite free space optics channel where we assume a limited-sized aperture eavesdropper (Eve) in the same plane of the legitimate receiver (Bob) and determine the secret key rate (SKR) lower bounds correspondingly. We first study the input power dependency without assumptions on Bob’s detection scheme before optimizing the input power to determine lower bounds as functions of transmission distances, center frequency or Eve aperture radius. Then we calculate analytical expressions regarding the SKR lower bound and upper bound as transmission distance goes to infinity. We also incorporate specific discrete variable (DV) and continuous variable (CV) protocols for comparison. We demonstrate that significantly higher SKR lower bounds can be achieved compared to traditional unrestricted Eve scenario.

Published: November 2020

Low-loss conversion among a complete and orthogonal set of optical modes is important for high-bandwidth quantum and classical communication. In this Letter, we explore tunable impedance mismatch between coupled Fabry–Perot resonators as a powerful tool for manipulation of the spatial and temporal properties of optical fields. In the single-mode regime, frequency-dependent impedance matching enables tunable finesse optical resonators. Introducing the spatial dependence of the impedance mismatch enables coherent spatial mode conversion of optical photons at near-unity efficiency. We experimentally demonstrate a NIR resonator whose finesse is tunable over a decade, and an optical mode converter with efficiency

The experiences of adult heart, lung, and heart-lung transplantation recipients: A systematic review of qualitative research evidence
Authors: Stubber Claire , Kirkman Maggie
Published: November 2020

Aim

To review evidence about the experience of being the recipient of a donated heart, lungs, or heart and lungs.

Design

A systematic review (registered with PROSPERO: CRD42017067218), in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.

Data sources

Seven databases and Google Scholar were searched in May 2017 and July 2019 for papers reporting English-language research that had used qualitative methods to investigate experiences of adult recipients.

Review methods

Quality was assessed and results were analysed thematically.

Results

24 papers (reporting 20 studies) were eligible and included. Their results were organised into three chronological periods: pre-transplant (encompassing the themes of ‘dynamic psychosocial impact’, ‘resources and support’), transplant (‘The Call’, ‘intensive care unit’), and post-transplant (‘dynamic psychosocial impact’, ‘management’, ‘rejection’). Sub-themes were also identified. It was evident that contemplating and accepting listing for transplantation entailed or amplified realisation of the precipitating illness’s existential threat. The period surrounding transplantation surgery was marked by profound, often surreal, experiences. Thereafter, although life usually improved, it incorporated unforeseen challenges. The transplantation clinic remained important to the recipient. The meaning of the clinic and its staff could be both reassuring (providing care and support) and threatening (representing onerous medical requirements and potential organ rejection).

Conclusion

This review has implications for the psychosocial care of transplant recipients and indicates the need for further research to gain insight into the experience of receiving a donated heart and/or lung.

Impact

Medical consequences of heart and lung transplantation are well documented; this is the first systematic review of research using qualitative methods to investigate the experience of heart, lung, and heart-and-lung transplantation. The psychosocial impact of transplantation was found to be dynamic and complex, with notable features evident before, during, and after transplantation. Clinic staff remained significant to recipients. It is clear that recipients need continuing psychosocial as well as medical support.
Unsupervised bivariate data clustering for damage assessment of carbon fiber composite laminates

Published: November 2020

Damage assessment is a key element in structural health monitoring of various industrial applications to understand well and predict the response of the material. The big uncertainty in carbon fiber composite materials response is because of variability in the initiation and propagation of damage. Developing advanced tools to design with composite materials, methods for characterizing several damage modes during operation are required. While there is a significant amount of work on the analysis of acoustic emission (AE) from different composite materials and many loading cases, this research focuses on applying an unsupervised clustering method for separating AE data into several groups with distinct evolution. In this paper, we develop an adaptive sampling and unsupervised bivariate data clustering techniques to characterize the several damage initiations of a composite structure in different lay-ups. An adaptive sampling technique pre-processes the AE features and eliminates redundant AE data samples. The reduction of unnecessary AE data depends on the requirements of the proposed bivariate data clustering technique. The bivariate data clustering technique groups the AE data (dependent variable) with respect to the mechanical data (independent variable) to assess the damage of the composite structure. Tensile experiments on carbon fiber reinforced composite laminates (CFRP) in different orientations are carried out to collect mechanical and AE data and demonstrate the damage modes. Based on the mechanical stress-strain data, the results show the dominant damage regions in different lay-ups of specimens and the definition of the different states of damage. In addition, the states of the damage are observed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis. Based on the AE data, the results show that the strong linear correlation between AE and mechanical energy, and the classification of various modes of damage in all lay-ups of specimens forming clusters of AE energy with respect to the mechanical energy. Furthermore, the validation of the cluster-based characterization and improvement of the sensitivity of the damage modes classification are observed by the combined knowledge of AE and mechanical energy and time-frequency spectrum analysis.

Islet autoantibodies are predominantly measured by radioassay to facilitate risk assessment and diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. However, the reliance on radioactive components, large sample volumes and limited throughput renders radioassay testing costly and challenging. We developed a multiplex analysis platform based on antibody detection by agglutination-PCR (ADAP) for the sample-sparing measurement of GAD, IA-2 and insulin autoantibodies/antibodies in 1 μL serum. The assay was developed and validated in 7 distinct cohorts (n = 858) with the majority of the cohorts blinded prior to analysis. Measurements from the ADAP assay were compared to radioassay to determine correlation, concordance, agreement, clinical sensitivity and specificity. The average overall agreement between ADAP and radioassay was above 91%. The average clinical sensitivity and specificity were 96% and 97%. In the IASP 2018 workshop, ADAP achieved the highest sensitivity of all assays tested at 95% specificity (AS95) rating for GAD and IA-2 autoantibodies and top-tier performance for insulin autoantibodies. Furthermore, ADAP correctly identified 95% high-risk individuals with two or more autoantibodies by radioassay amongst 39 relatives of T1D patients tested. In conclusion, the new ADAP assay can reliably detect the three cardinal islet autoantibodies/antibodies in 1μL serum with high sensitivity. This novel assay may improve pediatric testing compliance and facilitate easier community-wide screening for islet autoantibodies.

Published: November 2020

Exosomes are a group of small membranous vesicles that are shed into the extracellular environment by tumoral or non-tumoral cells and contribute to cellular communication by delivering micro RNAs (miRNAs). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of exosomal miRNAs from colorectal cancer cell lines in tumorigenesis, by affecting cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which are vital constituents of the tumor microenvironment. To analyze the effect of exosomal miRNA on the tumor microenvironment, migration of the monocytic cell line THP-1 was evaluated via Transwell migration assay using CAFs isolated from colon cancer patients. The migration assay was performed with CAFs ± CCL7-blocking antibody and CAFs that were treated with exosomes isolated from colon cancer cell lines. To identify the associated exosomal miRNAs, miRNA sequencing and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were performed. The migration assay revealed that THP-1 migration was decreased in CCL7-blocking antibody-expressing and exosome-treated CAFs. Colon cancer cell lines contained miRNA let-7d in secreted exosomes targeting the chemokine CCL7. Exosomes from colorectal cancer cell lines affected CCL7 secretion from CAFs, possibly via the miRNA let-7d, and interfered with the migration of CCR2+ monocytic THP-1 cellsin vitro.
Adriamycin does not damage podocytes of zebrafish larvae
Authors: Schindler Maximilian , Blumenthal Antje , Moeller Marcus Johannes , Endlich Karlhans , Endlich Nicole
Published: November 2020

Podocytes are highly specialized epithelial cells that are essential for an intact glomerular filtration barrier in the kidney. Several glomerular diseases like focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are initially due to podocyte injury and loss. Since causative treatments for FSGS are not available until today, drug screening is of great relevance. In order to test a high number of drugs, FSGS needs to be reliably induced in a suitable animal model. The zebrafish larva is an ideal model for kidney research due to the vast amount of offsprings, the rapid development of a simple kidney and a remarkable homology to the mammalian glomerulus. Zebrafish larvae possess a size-selective glomerular filtration barrier at 4 days post fertilization including podocytes with interdigitating foot processes that are connected by a slit membrane. Adriamycin is an anthracycline which is often used in mice and rats to induce a FSGS-like phenotype. In this study, we aimed to induce a similar phenotype to zebrafish larvae by adding adriamycin to the tank water in different concentrations. Surprisingly, zebrafish larvae did not develop glomerular injury and displayed an intact filtration barrier after treatment with adriamycin. This was shown by (immuno-) histology, our filtration assay,in vivoimaging by 2-photon microcopy, RT-(q)PCR as well as transmission electron microscopy. To summarize, adriamycin is unable to induce a podocyte-related damage in zebrafish larvae and therefore major effort must be made to establish FSGS in zebrafish larvae to identify effective drugs by screenings.
Sustainable batching water options for one-part alkali-activated slag mortar: Sea water and reverse osmosis reject water
Authors: Luukkonen Tero , Yliniemi Juho , Kinnunen Paivo , Illikainen Mirja
Published: November 2020

Concrete production is globally a major water consumer, and in general, drinking-quality water is mixed in the binder. In the present study, simulated sea water and reverse osmosis reject water were used as batching water for one-part (dry-mix) alkali-activated blast furnace slag mortar. Alkali-activated materials are low-CO2 alternative binders gaining world-wide acceptance in construction. However, their production requires approximately similar amount of water as regular Portland cement concrete. The results of the present study revealed that the use of saline water did not hinder strength development, increased setting time, and did not affect workability. The salts incorporated in the binder decreased the total porosity of mortar, but they did not form separate phases detectable with X-ray diffraction or scanning electron microscopy. Leaching tests for monolithic materials revealed only minimal leaching. Furthermore, results for crushed mortars (by a standard two-stage leaching test) were within the limits of non-hazardous waste. Thus, the results indicated that high-salinity waters can be used safely in one-part alkali-activated slag to prepare high-strength mortars. Moreover, alkali-activation technology could be used as a novel stabilization/solidification method for reverse osmosis reject waters, which frequently pose disposal problems.

Authors: Punyapornwithaya Veerasak , Sansamur Chalutwan , Singhla Tawatchai , Vinitchaikul Paramintra
Published: November 2020

Background and Aim: Consistency in producing raw milk with less variation in bulk tank milk somatic cell count (BMSCC) is important for dairy farmers as their profit is highly affected by it in the long run. Statistical process control (SPC) is widely used for monitoring and detecting variations in an industrial process. Published reports on the application of the SPC method to smallholder farm data are very limited. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the capability of the SPC method for monitoring the variation of BMSCC levels in milk samples collected from smallholder dairy farms.

Materials and Methods: Bulk tank milk samples (n=1302) from 31 farms were collected 3 times/month for 14 consecutive months. The samples were analyzed to determine the BMSCC levels. The SPC charts, including the individual chart (I-chart) and the moving range chart (MR-chart), were created to determine the BMSCC variations, out of control points, and process signals for each farm every month. The interpretation of the SPC charts was reported to dairy cooperative authorities and veterinarians.

Results: Based on a set of BMSCC values as well as their variance from SPC charts, a series of BMSCC data could be classified into different scenarios, including farms with high BMSCC values but with low variations or farms with low BMSCC values and variations. Out of control points and signals or alarms corresponding to the SPC rules, such as trend and shift signals, were observed in some of the selected farms. The information from SPC charts was used by authorities and veterinarians to communicate with dairy farmers to monitor and control BMSCC for each farm.

Conclusion: This study showed that the SPC method can be used to monitor the variation of BMSCC in milk sampled from smallholder farms. Moreover, information obtained from the SPC charts can serve as a guideline for dairy farmers, dairy cooperative boards, and veterinarians to manage somatic cell counts in bulk tanks from smallholder dairy farms.

Having a lot of children requires costs for fulfilling clothes, food, health, education and entertainment needs. Nowadays, families put more consideration at the value of children in terms of quality, not just quantity. The value of children is related to the number of children desired that mainly influenced by micro-level factors in the household. Nevertheless, there are indications that macro socio-economic factors also influence the number of desired fertility. This study uses correlation analysis to see the relationship between the average number of wanted children and macro variables such as contraceptive use, human development index (HDI), income per capita, proportion of poor population, age of first marriage, expenditure per capita per year, and womanâ€™s work participation. The results show that the variables of contraceptive use, HDI, percentage of poor people, expenditure per capita, and female labour participation rate are statistically proven to affect the average number of desired children, while the variable income per capita and age at first marriage are not statistically significant. This study argued that the number of desired children is not only influenced by household micro variables but also socio-economic macro variables.

Published: November 2020

Hospitais Universitários são ambientes vinculados a Instituições de Ensino Superior onde são desempenhadas atividades de ensino, pesquisa e assistência. Em função do seu perfil misto para pacientes, que demandam esquemas farmacoterapêuticos diversos, configuram ambiente propício à ocorrência de Interações Medicamentosas, contexto que demanda um processo de cuidado em saúde pautado pela lógica multiprofissional. As atuais revisões sistemáticas da literatura acerca de interações medicamentosas e ambientes hospitalares não abordam aspectos de natureza qualitativa relacionados ao perfil de profissionais envolvidos e a relevância para outras áreas de atuação, objetivo do presente estudo. Conduziu-se uma revisão sistemática baseada na estratégia SPIDER de busca em quatro bancos de dados mediante emprego de nove descritores e operadores booleanos que deveriam compor a seção título de manuscritos disponíveis integralmente em português ou inglês e realizados em hospitais universitários brasileiros. Dezessete citações compõem a amostra final, sendo nove artigos, três dissertações, duas teses e três trabalhos de conclusão de curso. Houve prevalência para estudos realizados por profissionais farmacêuticos, seguido de enfermeiros e médicos. Parcela expressiva dos estudos apresentou baixa qualidade e relevância para outros profissionais, sendo realizados majoritariamente por apenas um tipo de profissional. Foram identificados poucos estudos publicados envolvendo a temática, considerando-se o quantitativo de Hospitais Universitários brasileiros existentes e o período temporal considerado. Estratégias evidenciadas e relacionadas ao enfrentamento da problemática residem em aspectos relacionados ao paciente, ao estabelecimento e aos profissionais, de modo a assegurar a detecção, redução ou eliminação de esquemas terapêuticos potencialmente interativos por parte dos profissionais que os prescrevem, dispensam, preparam e administram.

This study aims to extend and investigate the relationship between professionalism, implementation of professional ethics, and audit quality by proposing client acceptability as a mediating variable for filling the previous research gap. It is a quantitative method conducted at public accountant offices in Jakarta with 176 respondents from 41 offices. The data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model. The model is good and the Confirmatory Factor Analysis proves to have a high loading. The results show that professionalism has an insignificant negative effect on audit quality, but it has a significant negative effect on client acceptability. The implementation of professional ethics has a significant positive effect on audit quality and client acceptability. The client acceptability has a significant positive effect on audit quality. The result proves that client acceptance mediates the effect of implementing professional ethics on audit quality. The implication of this study is to contribute to the public accounting firm in a low-risk client acceptance policy in providing information so that public accountants can avoid submitting misleading financial information.

Theaflavin, a polyphenolic compounds found  in oolong tea and black tea, thought to have medicinal potency. Theaflavins and their derivatives such as theaflavin gallate have shown a broad spectrum of antiviral activity against several viruses, including influenza A, B and hepatitis C viruses. Previous research show that theaflavins could inhibit RdRp activity through blocking the active site in the catalytic pocket of RdRp in SARS‐CoV‐2, SARS‐CoV and MERS‐CoV.. This research aims to extract theaflavins in oolong tea with water solvent at a temperature of 100oC, pressure > 1 atm and varied extraction times (10-60 minutes). The effect of oolong tea extraction time towards the  theaflavin content was observed. The results showed that with the longer extraction time, the theaflavin levels were reduced due to the degradation of thermal theaflavins into thearubigins. The model exponential equation obtained is  y=14,91488 e-0,2631x + 0,11865, with the R2=0.99161. The best operating conditions was obtained at 10 minutes of extraction time, resulted in 1.19% of the total theaflavin content of oolong tea.

The Need for a Collective Social Conscience
Authors: Fahmy Mohamed Nabil
Published: November 2020

As the public orders in the global community, in particular being liberal or illiberal, have lost their “social conscience”, we build on lessons learned to create better circumstances, rather than simply making historic judgements. All while striving to reinvigorate the “social conscience” with a greater sense of collectiveness to provide a more comprehensive order for a new global culture. The goal here is to determine how best to regenerate a wider understanding of the “common good” amongst our societies, and how to ensure that we as “peoples” appreciate and embrace collectiveness and determine that our decisions will increasingly have a greater “social conscience” collectively. In a world of globalization, it is important to understand the interconnectedness of people and systems alike. Decisions built on an understanding of the “common good” and “social conscience” will ultimately have a wider influence on a potential global culture willing to reap benefits of individual assets and achievements. Changing from a “balance of power and authority” driven systems to ones driven by different systems is an attempt to achieve a “balance of interest” is due. A paradigm shift should be in force, whereby marginalization and inequality will be reduced; yet not erased. With this critical juncture in the 21st century, it is imperative to rethink the common good. As well as, reinvigorate the “social conscience” and collective sense which are essential to facing the ever-changing global order.

El artista se adentrará en la tipología floral de los crisantemos y su referencialidad semiótica desde los parámetros de la teosofía.
El viaje, el testimonio, la amistad: Abraham Ortelius y Georg Hoefnagel en Italia (invierno de 1577-1578)
Authors: Besse Jean-Marc
Published: November 2020

Desde el siglo XVI, la geografía contribuyó a definir nuestra cultura visual y la manera en la que vemos y representamos el mundo. En el presente artículo se analiza, por una parte, el descubrimiento en ese momento de los lugares mediante el desplazamiento, y, por otra, el cambio que esta manera de conocer produjo en las representaciones del territorio, fundamentalmente, de escala y punto de vista. Para ello, se analizan los dibujos y grabados resultantes del viaje por Italia de los flamencos Abraham Ortelius, erudito geógrafo, marchante de arte y antigüedades, y Georg Hoefnagel, artista. El corpus fruto de sus esfuerzos da forma al considerado primer gran atlas urbano de Europa, el Civitates orbis terrarum. Se trata de vistas frontales que se centran en lo singular, corografías que presentan dos tipos de mirada hacia el territorio: el de la gente local que se integra en su entorno, formando parte del mismo; y el de los viajeros que se representan como observadores de una realidad concreta. Las imágenes de G. Hoefnagel se convierten en demostración de lo experimentado en el viaje y soporte para su narración.

It is asserted that the publicity capital becomes the most up-to-date form of capital. The influence of the social capital on the publicity capital of an organization is analyzed, and the author’s theoretical integrative model of the corporative social capital, whose components can be conditionally joined into two groups (the relation capital and the reputation capital), is proposed. It is proved that the publicity capital is not a simple combination of the relation capital and the reputation capital, but it is a result of their complicated interaction.

The objective of this study is to determine the existing concordance between the clinical and histopathological diagnosis of lesions in the oral mucosa at the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Costa Rica (UCR). A retrospective study of 261 reports of oral lesions recovered from the biopsy archive of the UCR Faculty of Dentistry from 2008 to 2015. Of the total reports 165 were included in the analysis, 96 (36.8%) did not have any diagnostic hypotheses. The concordance between the clinical and histopathological diagnosis was verified by the Kappa test. Concordance with the first diagnostic hypothesis was presented in 114 (69.1%) cases, the value of kappa was 0.663 (substantial agreement) and 36.8% without clinical diagnosis only a description of the lesion.  The premalignant lesions presented an excellent concordance (kappa=0.902). The concordance of the group of non-neoplastic proliferative lesions was moderate (kappa=0.504) and the dermatological and autoimmune conditions with negligible concordance (0.157). Concordance occurred in the majority of the patients investigated with a value corresponding to a substantial agreement, however, the percentage of reports that did not have a clinical hypothesis should be improved.

The last surveys on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from bovine milk in Hungary took place in the 2000s. To elucidate the genetic variability and to estimate the burden of the pathogen, MRSA from our strain collection and prospectively collected Staphylococcus aureus (SA) isolates originating from two milk hygiene laboratories were investigated. Between 2003 and 2018, 27 MRSA strains originating from 10 dairy farms were deposited and characterised. Most strains (n = 20) belonged to ST1-t127-SCCmecIV and were recovered from three unrelated farms. From other farms, variable genotypes were identified sporadically: ST22-t032-SCCmecIV from three farms; a newly described double locus variant of ST97, ST5982-t458-SCCmecIV from two farms; and ST398-t011-SCCmecIV and ST398-t011-SCCmecV from two respective farms. The prospective screening of 626 individual SA isolates originating from 42 dairy farms resulted in four (0.48 %) MRSA strains from three (7.14 %) farms. All MRSA isolates belonged to the clonal complex 398 and a novel spa-type t19251 was also identified. Most isolates were resistant to three or more antimicrobial classes. The occurrence and significance of MRSA of dairy origin seems to be unchanged in the past decade in Hungary. However, the low host specificity and multiresistance of the identified genotypes calls for periodic revision on the role and distribution of the pathogen in the Hungarian dairy sector.

The objective: optimization of treatment of clinical symptoms and prevention of relapse infetsii virus (HSV, HPV) using immunomodulatory therapy alloferon. Patients and methods. The study included 50 patients aged 20 to 42 years with clinical manifestations of HPV in the form of warts of vulva, vagina, cervix, cervical dysplasia. Patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment received – the main group received Allokin-Alpha 1ml subcutaneous 6 injections, the comparison group – a-2b interferon 3 million 10 injections. Results. The group of patients treated with Allokin-аlfa, showed better clinical performance treatment of genital kondilomas lesions, decrease in the number of lesions in 6–12 days after initiation of therapy, decrease in the degree of dysplastic changes in the cervix, and the absence of relapse (in the control group 32% of patients had a relapse). No side effects as a result of Allokin-alpha has not been registered, while 76% of patients receiving a-interferon-2b expressed flu-like symptoms were observed, requiring additional purpose of detoxification drugs. Test results: in the main group had the elimination of HPV in 92% of cases, 78% in the control group; herpes – elimination of 96% of the cases in the main group and 75% in the comparison group. Conclusion The medicine Allokin-alpha is highly effective in the treatment of HPV and HSV infection, demonstrating good results of therapy, no relapse of infection. The recommended regimen – 6 injections of the drug prior to the electrosurgical treatment. Key words: human papillomavirus infection, herpes, Allokin-alpha, a-interferon-2b.

Industrial era 4.0 provides accessibility to smartphone use on early childhood. The negative or positive impact depending on how parents introduce smartphones to children through parental mediation strategies. Parents’ character plays a role in shaping children’s behavior and discipline, especially parents with mindful parenting. This study aims to examine the relationship between mindful parenting and parental mediation from the psychological and Islamic perspective. We used a mixed method with sequential explanatory design. Mindfulness in Parenting Questionnaire (MIPQ) and Parental Mediation Questionnaire (PMQ) was used as measuring instrument with a total of 131 parents who have children aged 3-6 years participated in this study. The results show that mindful parenting correlates significantly to the active mediation strategy while its relationship was weak with restrictive mediation. In the Islamic perspective, when parents rely on all responsibilities and rights that must be given to children with the intention of worshiping Allah, parents will apply the rules to their children according to Islamic law.Industrial era 4.0 provides accessibility to smartphone use on early childhood.
