Published: October 2021

Blonanserin an antipsychotic novel drug used for the treatment of schizophrenia has antagonist properties for dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2. On the other hand, it lacks adrenergic-α1, muscarinic M1, and histamine H1 antagonist activities. Clinical studies demonstrated in Japan had shown to be more effective for treating negative as well as positive schizophrenic symptoms. This drug was accepted and approved worldwide in the treatment of schizophrenia. A new HPLC method was developed and validated for the estimation of Impurities of Blonanserin (BNS) to ensure that the methodology meets the requirements of the target analysis application. Active and efficient chromatographic separation was achieved on a  Zorbax Bonus RP EP C18 column having a particle size of 5μm, with dimensions of 250mm × 4.6 mm, mobile phase containing pH 2.4 buffer and Organic, with 1.0 ml /min flow rate,  column oven temperature at 30oC and the eluent detection at 245 nm. The method shows well-separated impurities, is specific without interference from blank solution with resolution more than 1.2 between any of the impurity, correlation coefficient more than 0.99 showing good linearity; mean recovery ranging from 97% to 105% and is very sensitive at lower detection and quantification limits. This method was well developed and has been applied successfully to monitor and estimate impurities in Blonanserin.

Published: October 2021

The newly identified SARS-CoV-2 virus and its ongoing implicated COVID-19 pandemic started off as pneumonia of unknown aetiology in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Certain laboratory values that may be considered deranged in non pregnant states are normal physiological changes in pregnancy. An understanding of the normal haematological and immunologic parameters in pregnancy is necessary for the interpretation of COVID-19 severity. Considering the COVID-19 infection is still new, little is known about the clinical course of the disease in pregnancy. This is a retrospective observational study undertaken in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Saveetha Medical College Hospital, Chennai, India, from April to November 2020. Out of the 50 women in the study, 19 women were anaemic with haemoglobin <11, accounting for 38% of the study population. A neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio greater than 4.5 was observed in 44% of the population. Thrombocytopenia was present in 12% of the population. D-dimer greater than 1000 was found in 12% of the study population. All of our patients were asymptomatic, had good maternal and fetal outcomes even though derangement of inflammatory markers were noted. The immunological changes of pregnancy make pregnant women more susceptible to pathogens. Though our patients had instances suggestive of critical prognosis like an increased neutrophil-lymphocyte-ratio and affirmative acute phase reactants and inflammatory markers, they were asymptomatic (category BNH) and stable in room air. However, further analysis of laboratory parameters and their correlation to clinical scenarios in the second wave of COVID19 infection is warranted.

Published: October 2021

Postpartum depression is a grave mental health problem, which is more prevalent than society realizes and poses great risk. It has been associated with lack of breastfeeding, aversion towards the baby and negative impact on the development of the child. A total of 300 women who delivered between January 14 to March 31 of 2020 at Saveetha Medical College and Hospital were chosen following ethical clearance. After explaining the aspects of the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale in their native language, the questionnaire was provided. A score of 10 and above were considered positive. Data were evaluated using SPSS and Chi square test. The prevalence of PPD was seen in 14% of women. It was higher with vaginal delivery, in women who had multiple births, lack of financial and social support, with domestic violence and alcoholic partner. Medical help was advised to women who scored 10 and above; only 5% sought medical intervention. Others did not recognize depression as a health issue. This shows the lack of awareness among the population. Medical health professionals should spread awareness, conduct more studies to evaluate the prevalence, the predisposing factors, methods for early diagnosis and ways to help women overcome “THE OTHER SIDE OF MOTHERHOOD”.

Bacteriophage-Liposomes Complex, a Bi-therapy System to Target Streptococcus pneumonia and Biofilm: A Research Protocol
Authors: Jung David , Gaudreau-Lapierre Antoine , Alnahhas Emran , Asraoui Samy
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Streptococcus pneumoniae is a gram-positive bacterium, which is the leading cause of death for young children, elderly population, and immunocompromised patients. Its ability to mutate and become resistant to some of the strongest antibiotics makes them difficult to treat and increases the risk of disease spread. Although the development of stronger antibiotics to treat such microbes may be an option, they potentially pose a dangerous threat to the body. As such, a viable treatment option to fight against antimicrobial resistance has yet been found.
Methods: The study focuses on utilizing a bi-therapy system to target S. pneumoniae in biofilm, which is the site of emerging antibiotic resistant mutants, by creating levofloxacin-liposomes carrying phages and testing them both in vitro and in vivo.
Anticipated results: Using bacteriophage therapy and applying bacteriophage-antibiotic synergy, it is hoped to augment the potency of the treatment while lowering its side-effects. The Cp-1 bacteriophage-liposomes complexes are expected to be specific to the S. pneumoniae to carry antibiotics to sites of infection.
Discussion: The therapy could ensure targeted bacterial lysis and site-directed delivery of low-dose drugs to decrease the toxicity effect of the antibiotics. Once the efficacy is established and is proven to be significant, its potency can be tested in BALB/cByJ mice models before bringing this therapy to animal trials then human clinical trials.
Conclusion: Bacteriophages are very attractive therapeutic agents that effectively target pathogenic bacteria, safe for the human body, and highly modifiable to combat newly emerging bacterial threats. In addition to its many benefits, the use of bacteriophages could significantly reduce healthcare costs. The potential use of bacteriophages-liposomes complexes could be translated to treat respiratory infections in humans after confirming its efficacy in vitro and in vivo studies.
GENDER ROLES OF MAIN CHARACTERS IN DANIELLE STEEL’S “FRIENDS FOREVER”
Authors: Tsapro Galyna , Chorna Olha
Published: October 2021

The research is devoted to the study of protagonists’ gender roles created by Danielle Steel in her book about five best friends. The corpus and discourse analyses have been applied to examine verbal characterization of main characters. Appearance, traits of character, relationships with others, moral values as well as communication styles have been studied.

Gender roles have been perceived mostly as prescribed stereotypical norms of social behavior. Gender roles presented in literary works reflect social male and female portrayals but concurrently main characters’ gender portraits shape readers’ images and concepts about gender.

Danielle Steel assigns traditional gender roles to her characters sketching their vivid images from childhood till later years. The female characters Izzie and Gabby correspond to traditional gender expectations about girls but still Gabby turns out to have bossy nature that is reflected in her behavior and speech. Three male protagonists, Andy, Billy and Sean, in general possessing quite traditional gender roles, are depicted as completely different personalities with some deviation from gender expectations about men.

The main characters’ fathers in general represent an established social image of successful professionals, family providers, most of them being loving and supporting fathers, while the protagonists’ mothers form two contrastive groups of staying at home and working women. The portraits of two working mothers differ greatly, depicting the woman devoting all her time to work and ignoring her daughter’s needs and the other despite being busy at work still being able to take care of her son. Other three women are ideal pictures of affectionate mothers and wives.

Published: October 2021

El uso eficaz de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, en forma de competencia digital, se ha convertido en una parte indispensable de la vida humana en el siglo XXI, no solo para el ocio sino también para el trabajo. Este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar el desarrollo de la competencia digital en el ámbito de la traducción, considerando variables personales como el género, la edad, la experiencia en la traducción y el grado autopercibido de competencia digital. Los participantes fueron 201 traductores que fueron encuestados a nivel nacional y virtualmente a través de un cuestionario adaptado de Competencias Digitales de Traductores Contemporáneos, que engloba 87 ítems agrupados en nueve categorías. Los resultados mostraron que la seguridad digital y la ofimática fueron las categorías de competencia digital más reportadas, mientras que la planificación de proyectos y la traducción asistidas por computadora fueron las menos reportadas, aunque en general toda la muestra obtuvo calificaciones relativamente bajas en competencia digital (por debajo de 1.6 en una escala de 0-3). En cuanto a las variables personales, se encontraron diferencias de género en las competencias digitales dentro de la categoría de localización y traducción audiovisual; es decir, los traductores del género masculino indicaron un mayor uso de dichas competencias. Además, la edad de los traductores se correlacionó positivamente con cinco categorías de competencia digital y los años de experiencia traductora se correlacionó con las nueve categorías, lo que significa que esta última surgió como un mejor descriptor. Por demás interesante, se observaron gráficamente diferencias significativas en los tres niveles de autopercepción de competencias, lo que refleja una alta coherencia en lo que informaron los participantes por cada competencia en particular. Finalmente, se discuten algunas implicaciones pedagógicas y profesionales en aras del diseño curricular y la capacitación y el desarrollo del traductor profesional.

The concept of sustainable development is very important to increase our quality of life. Measurement of development based on specific indicators is one of the approaches to describe sustainable development. At the local level, measuring sustainable development using specific indicators is still rare. Since each location has their own unique characteristics, measuring sustainability at the regional level could not always be applied locally. The availability of data at the village level strongly encourages the local measurement of sustainable development index. The economic, social, and environmental dimensions of Mandailing Natal Regency's development are still constrained. Using 21 variables that can reflect economic, social, and environmental aspects, this study aims to measure the sustainable development index at the local level. The Local Sustainable Development Index will be generated by analyzing these variables using the Factor Analysis (FA) method and Local Indicator of Spatial Autocorrelation (LISA) analysis. This index measurement is useful in considering the direction of location-based (spatial) development for decision makers at the local level and describe development sustainability. In general, IPBL economic value was in the medium category in 2011, and several villages in the low category were able to enhance their economic development sustainability in 2018. In the northwest, IPBL environment cluster type High-high (HH). In 2018, the percentage spatial distribution pattern of villages with the Low-low (LL) cluster type of IPBL economic and IPBL environment decreased. However, as can be seen from the spatial distribution pattern of IPBL social with cluster type LL, the percentage increased in 2018.

A avaliação clínica e laboratorial do paciente hipertenso é de fundamental importância no sentido de classificação da Pressão Arterial (PA) e diagnóstico de comorbidades e/ ou lesões em órgãos alvos (LOAs). Esses procedimentos permitem que estratifiquemos o risco cardiovascular, pois o tratamento e as metas a serem atingidas são diferenciados de acordo com essa classificação. Os exames, tanto clínicos quanto laboratoriais, podem permitir o diagnóstico de causas secundárias (algumas com potencial de cura) e/ou LOAs, permitindo assim uma reclassificação do paciente hipertenso. Entre os exames laboratoriais complementares de rotina destacamos a análise de urina, potássio plasmático, creatinina plasmática, glicemia de jejum, estimativa do ritmo de filtração glomerular, lipidograma e eletrocardiograma convencional de 12 derivações. Em alguns pacientes, em especial, podemos indicar a realização do ecocardiograma, albuminúria ou relação proteinúria/ creatininúria, ultrassom de carótidas e de artérias renais, teste ergométrico, MAPA/MRPA, velocidade de onda de pulso e ressonância nuclear magnética.

This study investigate the structural behavior of lightweight composite slab system that consist of profiled steel sheet (PSS) attached to dry board (DB) using mechanical screws and with or without infill materials. A total four full-scale panel specimen were tested under four-point bending when subjected under static loading. Result of the four-point test shows that increasing the thickness of profiles steel sheet gives major effect to the deflection and ultimate load. The deflection and ultimate load of 1.0mm thick panel specimen is 16.45% and 34.45% respectively. Therefore, increased the thickness of profiled steel sheet can enhance the stiffness and strength of the lightweight composite slab systems. It also found that the infill material used in these experimental gives minor effect to deflection and ultimate load. The deflection and ultimate load of panel specimen with foamed concrete is 21.18% and 16.66% respectively. Thus, foamed concrete can be used only for non-structural purposed only such as sound proofing and fire resistance.

The forest cover of Drohobych district is vectorized with the help of remote sensing of the Earth based on space images QuickBird. The geospatial analysis of forest lands of the foothills and lowlands of the Ukrainian Carpathians has been carried out. It is found that the proportion of forest throughout the region is higher than the average forest cover of Lviv region and more than doubled the average forest cover of Ukraine. Even though the forest cover of Drohobych district is more than optimal indicators for this natural area, forest land is extremely unevenly distributed. A created schematic map of forest resources has shown that the most forested is the mountainous part of the region with the absolute height between 500-1000 m, which decreases in the direction from southwest to northeast. Forest area significantly decreases at the changeover to Drohobych Upland, because of the extension of the boundaries and areas of influence of the Drogobych agglomeration increasing densities of human settlements. In the northeast section of the region, the forest is almost missing due to the significant agricultural development in the plains with a superior absolute height between 250–300 m.
For the better analysis of the forest cover of the territory, the geoinformation model of the forest cover of Drohobych district from the perspective of administrative units is created and analyzed. This model allows to classify administrative units according to the proportion of forest land in 6 categories because a considerable variation of indicators is seen in the region. From completely deforested administrative units to rural councils in mountainous areas, where the proportion of forest areas is more than 70%. Administrative units with an insufficient level of reforestation, which are half of all in Drohobych district and with the reforestation level lower than average in Ukraine, are featured. Features of the geospatial distribution of such indicators are noted.
It is analyzed that forest cover in urban and rural councils changes from significant in the town council of Boryslav to almost missing forest areas in the rural council of Medenychi. The reasons for such differences between the indicators are identified and the peculiarities of household land development of the territories that belong to urban and rural councils are stated.
Key words: forest cover; decryption of ERSD; geoinformation modeling; optimization of natural resources.

Strategic Robustness in Bi-level System-of-systems Design
Authors: Stern Jordan L , Grogan Paul T. , Valencia-Romero Ambrosio
Published: October 2021

Robust designs protect system utility in the presence of uncertainty in technical and operational outcomes. Systems-of-systems, which lack centralized managerial control, are vulnerable to strategic uncertainty from coordination failures between partially or completely independent system actors. This work assesses the suitability of a game-theoretic equilibrium selection criterion to measure system robustness to strategic uncertainty and investigates the effect of strategically robust designs on collaborative behavior. The work models interactions between agents in a thematic representation of a mobile computing technology transition using an evolutionary game theory framework. Strategic robustness and collaborative solutions are assessed over a range of conditions by varying agent payoffs. Models are constructed on small world, preferential attachment, and random graph topologies and executed in batch simulations. Results demonstrate that systems designed to reduce the impacts of coordination failure stemming from strategic uncertainty also increase the stability of the collaborative strategy by increasing the probability of collaboration by partners; a form of robustness by environment shaping that has not been previously investigated in design literature. The work also demonstrates that strategy selection follows the risk dominance equilibrium selection criterion and that changes in robustness to coordination failure can be measured with this criterion.
Piecewise constant averaging methods allow for fast and accurate hierarchical Bayesian estimation of drift diffusion models with time-varying evidence accumulation rates
Authors: Lombardi Gaia , Hare Todd
Published: October 2021

Computational models of neurons and behavior are key tools in the feedback cycle between theory development, experimentation, and data analysis.The drift diffusion model (DDM) and other types of sequential sampling models have proven to be useful ways of quantifying and characterizing individual differences and the effects of experimental manipulations on various types of behavior in humans and other animals.To date, partially for the sake of simplicity, most modeling studies have assumed a constant rate of evidence accumulation when fitting the data and testing theoretical predictions.Nevertheless, there are a growing number of theories and empirical data that suggest that evidence accumulation rates may vary within the time course of a decision because of changes in attention, arousal, goals, or other factors. Fitting a DDM with a time-varying evidence accumulation rate can be much more computationally demanding and time consuming than fitting the standard DDM if there is no analytical solution for the time-varying DDM.Here, we demonstrate how to mathematically reformulate an influential subset of time-varying DDMs into standard DDMs with constant drift rates. This simple yet powerful reformulation allows time-varying DDMs with piecewise-constant drift rates to be easily and rapidly estimated within existing hierarchical Bayesian frameworks.We show detailed examples of this process using data from both computer simulations and humans in two separate empirical studies. Our results demonstrate that the method can quickly and accurately recover parameters from simulations and fit hierarchical Bayesian models to real data.
Psychological impact in Healthcare Professionals during emergencies: the Italian experience with COVID-19
Authors: Pisanu Elisabetta , Di Benedetto Annalisa , Infurna Maria Rita , Rumiati Raffaella I
Published: October 2021

The COVID-19 outbreak imposed an overwhelming workload as well as emotional burdens on healthcare professionals (HCPs). In May 2020, an online survey was administered to HCPs in Italy to assess the pandemic’s psychological impact and to investigate possible predictive factors that led to individual differences. Female and younger respondents, especially those operating in northern Italy experienced more frequently negative emotional states such as irritability, anxiety, loneliness, and insecurity. However, positive feelings, first of all solidarity, were also reported especially by female and older workers. The majority of the negative as well as positive emotional states were experienced almost equally by both doctors and nurses, and independently of the operational unit in which they operated. Our findings can provide useful information in planning more tailored psychological interventions to support this category of workers.

Published: October 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in severe disruption to people’s lives as governments imposed national ‘lockdowns’. Using ecological momentary assessment for seven days in 731 participants, we investigated how individual’s stress and mood fluctuated diurnally during lockdown in spring 2020. We found that age, gender, financial security, depressive symptoms, and trait loneliness modulated the diurnal dynamics of participants' stress and mood. For example, younger and less financially secure individuals showed an attenuated reduction in stress as the day progressed and, similarly, more lonely individuals showed a diminished increase in calmness throughout the day. In addition, we collected hair samples from 140 participants and found a decrease in cortisol concentrations following lockdown, but these changes were not related to any of the assessed person-related characteristics. Our findings provide novel insights into the psychobiological impact of lockdown and have implications for how, when, and which individuals might benefit most from interventions during comparable psychologically demanding periods.
Fostering a Research Integrity Culture: Actionable Advice for Institutions
Authors: De Peuter Steven , Conix Stijn
Published: October 2021

Research institutions’ research culture is increasingly recognized as a central driver of research integrity. Institutions are urged to develop research integrity promotion plans to foster a culture of research integrity. A host of guidelines and associated initiatives have been issued but specific, actionable recommendations for institutions are generally lacking. Based on a broad literature review, in the current paper some practical advice for institutions is suggested, grouped into 1) policies, procedures, and processes, 2) dealing with breaches of research integrity, 3) education and training, and 4) monitoring and evaluation. From the review, it is clear that more research is necessary to gather additional knowledge on what works and what does not work, knowledge that is ideally shared openly. This will allow institutions to learn from one another, facilitate harmonization of policies, and may possibly create a virtuous cycle that empowers the shift towards a culture of collective openness in science.
