Authors: Tachinina Olena , Lysenko Alexander
Published: May 2020

Мета: Метою даної статті є викладення алгоритмів керування безпілотними літальними апаратами (БПЛА) у складі інформаційного робота. Методи: У статті розглянуто метод теорії оптимального керування динамічними системами, який застосовувався для стабілізації БПЛА на заданій траєкторії руху, з урахуванням можливої зміни цілі руху. Результати: Перший алгоритм дозволяє оцінювати координати поточного положення БПЛА щодо заданої траєкторії, виробляти оптимальне, з урахуванням заданого критерію якості, керування рухом БПЛА до заданої цілі, а також ідентифікувати оптимальні моменти часу виконання групових маневрів БПЛА. Другий алгоритм дозволяє стабілізувати БПЛА на заданій траєкторії, з урахуванням можливої зміни цілі руху в кожен момент часу на заданому інтервалі, а також розрахувати оптимальний момент часу і фазову координату розділення групи БПЛА. Обговорення: Запропоновані алгоритми дозволять в залежності від розвитку надзвичайно ситуації оперативно оптимізувати траєкторії руху БПЛА і здійснювати їх перенацілювання в необхідну зону надзвичайної ситуації для отримання точної оперативної інформації про потерпілих, а також для координації дій рятувальних команд.

Стаття присвячена актуальним питанням дослідження конструктивної системи висотних будівель, яка утворює архітектурний образ і об’ємно-просторову структуру, що складається із сукупності взаємозв’язаних конструктивних елементів, які при сумісній роботі забезпечують міцність просторової структури, просторову жорсткість і загальну стійкість об’єкта. У висотних будівлях застосовують різні конструктивні схеми, які складаються із вертикальних (колон, стін, ядер, діафрагм та інші) і горизонтальних елементів (перекриттів, покриттів, балок, розкісних поясів та інших). Горизонтальні несучі конструкції висотних будівель, як правило, однотипні і зазвичай являють собою жорсткий залізобетонний диск (монолітний, збірно-монолітний, збірний).  Горизонтальні конструкції сприймають вертикальні та горизонтальні навантаження і передають їх на  несучі конструкції та на фундаменти. З метою зниження вітрових впливів вибирають ефективну в аеродинамічному відношенні циліндричну, пірамідальну або призматичну форму будівлі. Конструкції висотних будинків мають свою специфіку, яка значною мірою впливає на їхні об’ємна-планувальні та архітектурно-конструктивні рішення. До таких особливостей відносяться: значні навантаження на несучі конструкції; неоднакове навантаження на конструктивні елементи конструкцій; високе значення вітрового навантаження як горизонтальної складової; проблеми спільної роботи несучих конструкцій із сталі та бетону; вплив природних факторів (сейсмічних, атмосферних, аеродинамічних); вплив техногенних факторів (вібрації, шуми, аварії, пожежі, диверсійні акти, локальні руйнування);підвищені вимоги до пожежної безпеки та систем життєзабезпечення; складне інженерно-технічне забезпечення.

Published: May 2020

Робота присвячена впливам автозаправних станцій на навколишнє середовище. Методи: використовувались аналітичні, статистичні та експериментальні методи. Автори показали, що забруднювачі, що викидаються з автозаправних станцій – це токсичні речовини, які часто завдають незворотної шкоди організму, включаючи функціональні та системні порушення, гострі та хронічні неспецифічні та специфічні наслідки. Проведено аналіз кислотності ґрунтів на типових автозаправних станцій, а також відбиранняпробу зоні експлуатації заправних станцій. Для визначення кислотності зразкиґрунтів відбирали на 8 заправних станціях. Більшість проаналізованих ділянок мають реакцію ґрунту, близьку до нейтральної, що свідчить про наявність забруднення нафтопродуктами. Результати відбирання проб показують, що в роботі автозаправних станцій є серйозний фактор можливого забруднення ґрунтів. У результаті аналізу можливих впливів АЗС були зроблені рекомендації щодо зменшення їх негативного впливу на навколишнє середовище. Обґрунтована необхідність запобігання негативному впливу автозаправних станцій.

Published: May 2020

El estudio presenta tres años de experiencia en el uso de la radiocirugía (LEEP en el tratamiento de la neoplasia intraepitelial cervical (N.I.C) en el centro de patología cervical y colposcopia de la empresa social del estado (E.S.E) Metrosalud.Los resultados muestran las ventajas y desventajas del método en un reporte comparativo con conización hecha con bisturí frío. El LEEP permitió una mejor valoración reduciendo el subdiagnóstico principalmente en las pacientes con diagnóstico colpo-histológico de NIC II (37.5%); sin embargo se incrementó el porcentaje de compromiso de los bordes de resección (18.4% vs 4.8%), el cual disminuyó al lograr mayor experiencia con el método (5.8%).Se discute el manejo de los conos y LEEP con bordes comprometidos y la necesidad de un segundo procedimiento terapéutico ante la alta probabilidad de lesión residual (Cono frío= 66.7% y LEEP= 83.3 %).Finalmente, se propone marginar la conización con bisturí frío a los procedimientos diagnósticos en que este indicado en vista de su costo y morbilidad, y dejar de usarlo como procedimiento terapéutico reemplazándolo por la radiocirugía. En el futuro inmediato la radiocirugía permitirá también reducir el número de histerectomías por NIC.

En estos días se impone un poco de reflexión, especialmente en nuestro país tan maltrecho últimamente, por eso he querido desempolvar un escrito en el que ayudé hace varios años a mi padre, quien fuera un verdadero estudioso de la historia de la Medicina y quien me inspirara no sólo en el arte de la Medicina sino en el de la pluma, artes que enmarcaron siempre su ejemplarizante transcurrir por esta vida.
Correlación entre embriocardia, saco vitelino y cuerpo lúteo en embarazo menor de diez semanas para evaluar su viabilidad y evolución
Authors: Castañeda Jimmy , Rojas Mauricio , Sarmiento Andrés , Carmona Vicente
Published: May 2020

Existen reportes en la literatura mundial que, considerando algunos parámetros de ecografía temprana, hacen predicciones sobre la evolución del embarazo. Se pretendió demostrar estos hallazgos reportados universalmente para su aplicabilidad a la población que consulta al Hospital Militar Central, para la cual se realizaron ecografías transvaginales a 220 pacientes con embarazos menores de 10 semanas, en la Unidad de Ecografía Ginecoobstétrica del Hospital Militar Central o en la Unidad de Diagnóstico obstétrico y Ginecológico, (Obgyn), midiendo el diámetro del saco vitelino, cuantificando la embriocardia y valorando la presencia del cuerpo lúteo. Se realizó el seguimiento de las pacientes al final del período de estudio. Fueron excluidas 56 pacientes y con las 164 restantes no fue posible corroborar lo reportado en la bibliografía. Por tal motivo no podemos hacer ninguna predicción sobre el pronóstico del embarazo basados en las mediciones de ciertos parámetros por ecografía transvaginal en embarazos tempranos.

Authors: Erazo José Vicente
Published: May 2020

En el Departamento de Patología del Hospital Universitario San José de Popayán, se procesaron durante el año de 1992 un total de 15.480 citologías de las cuales sólo el 0.95% fueron positivas (PAP III-IV-V). El 93% correspondió a PAP II de la "Antigua Clasificación" (gráfica 1). Con el fin de incrementar el porcentaje tan bajo de patología cervical premaligna y maligna con el uso rutinario de la citología, se determinó llevar a cabo un monitorco cervical utilizando: test de Schiller, colposcopia y biopsia dirigida a las pacientes con citología negativa (PAP II) y que a la especuloscopia presentaran ectropión (erosión) cervical, parcial o total. El análisis histopatológico de 124 pacientes con estas características demostró que un 59.6% tenían patología cervical premaligna o maligna: Lesión Intraepitelial escamosa de bajo grado (L.SIL) 51.6%; lesión intraepitelial escamosa de alto grado (H. SIL) 6.47% y Carcinoma INVASOR 1.67%. Para el tratamiento de estos pacientes se tuvo en cuenta: su edad, paridad, deseos de reproducción, la histopatología y la posibilidad de seguimiento.

Se presenta un grupo de 15 pacientes sometidas a esta técnica quirúrgica durante un lapso de tres años con resultados exitosos en 12 de ellas, con una sola complicación infecciosa y estancia hospitalaria promedio 72 horas. Se plantea la posibilidad de estudios comparativos con las técnicas por vía abdominal.
Histerectomía después de la ablación endometrial
Authors: Unger James B. , Meeks G. Rodney
Published: May 2020

Objetivos: Detenninar el número de mujeres a quienes se les practica histerectomía después de la ablación endometrial y las indicaciones para la cirugía subsecuente. Diseño del estudio: Se practicó ablación endometrial con esfera a 42 mujeres premenopáusicas quienes tenían severa menorragia asociada con un resultado normal del examen clínico, entre noviembre de 1990 y diciembre de 1991. Se evaluaron 37 mujeres a quienes se les ha hecho cuidado continuo revisando la historia clínica. Se entrevistaron por teléfono cuatro mujeres quienes recibieron cuidado en otra localidad. Una mujer se perdió del seguimiento. Las pacientes fueron seguidas por un mínimo de 4 años. Se analizaron la edad, paridad, tiempo operatorio, preparación endometrial, esterilización preablación y dismenorrea preablación con respecto a la histerectomía subsecuente. La satisfacción de la paciente se evaluó a los 24 meses. Se hicieron análisis de tablas de vida para determinar la probabilidad acumulativa de histerectomía.Resultados: Se practicó histerectomía a catorce de las 41 mujeres (34%) dentro de los 5 años siguientes a la ablación endometrial con esfera. La hemorragia menstrual anormal continuada y el dolor menstrual se asociaron significativamente con la histerectomía subsecuente. Once de los 14 casos de histerectomía se asociaron con anormalidad macroscópica tales como miomas, adenomiosis, endometriosis y hematosálpinx crónico. Se observó una relación linear entre la histerectomía y el tiempo.Conclusión: Con base en los hallazgos un tercio de las mujeres a quienes se les practica ablación endometrial con esfera para menorragia pueden esperar que se les practique histerectomía dentro de los 5 años siguientes. Si la relación linear observada durante los primeros cinco años se extrapola, teóricamente, todas las mujeres necesitarán histerectomía alrededor de los 13 años. La mayoría de las pacientes requirieron histerectomía por anormalidades pélvicas significativas. Se requieren más estudios con seguimiento a largo plazo para definir el papel de la ablación endometrial para la menorragia.

LE PREMESSE DI UNA “ECOLOGIA COSTITUZIONALE”
Authors: Carducci Michele
Published: May 2020

L’articolo discute il tema del rapporto tra diritto e approccio ecosistemi-co nella prospettiva dei limiti del diritto costituzionale di fronte alla con-dizione attuale di “deficit ecologico” del Pianeta (“tirannia delle piccole decisioni”, disfunzionalità dei poteri, irresponsabilità). Questi limiti sono la conseguenza del carattere “fossile” del diritto moderno, definitivamente separato dai bisogni naturali di sopravvivenza della specie umana. Attual-mente esistono due tentativi di superamento di questi limiti in nome della “conversione ecologica” degli stili di vita e della “transizione ecologica” del sistema di produzione: il metodo “ottativo”, strutturato per obiettivi e regole secondarie; il metodo “prescrittivo”, fondato su regole primarie di nuovi doveri verso la natura.

Convive-se, hoje, com um grande volume de dados – Big Data –, o que re-presenta uma revolução nos moldes de comercialização, propaganda, con-corrência e, até mesmo, na própria delimitação do espaço privado. A priva-cidade no meio ambiente digital deve ser considerada sob a possibilidade de consequências muito mais gravosas, no caso de violação. Assim, este artigo propõe-se a analisar a regulação jurídica do meio ambiente digital, sobretudo diante do direito à privacidade. Para tanto, realizou-se pesqui-sa bibliográfica (teórico-qualitativa), com conclusões argumentativas que permitiram perceber o direito à privacidade com maior fluidez diante dos dados pessoais, aproximando-o dos princípios jurídicos. Analisou-se a regulamentação realizada pela Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais, em especial a ambivalência dos dados pessoais sensíveis.

Evaluating Fermentation of Cacao Seed Waste (Theobroma cacao L.) in Feed Toward Consumption of Dry Matter, Crude Protein and Average Daily Gain of Local Sheep Rams
Authors: . Sujono , Hendraningsih L. , . Wehandaka , . Uswatun , Raharjo B.
Published: May 2020

Research on the use of fermented cacao seed skin waste (FCS) was carried out to determine dry matter, crude protein consumption and daily weight gain of local rams. Fifteen local rams aged 1.5 years with an initial body weight ranging from 14–20 kg were used for analyses. The local rams were grouped according to their initial body weight: K1 = 14–16 kg, K2 = 16–18 kg, K3 = 18–20 kg. Variables measured were dry matter and protein consumption, daily weight gain and feed conversion. The research method used a randomized block design. The treatments involved five levels of fermented cocoa FCS. Data analysis involved ANOVA and Duncan’s test. The results demonstrated a significant effect on dry matter and crude protein consumption (P 0.01) and of daily weight gain (P 0.05) but no significant effect with respect to feed conversion (P 0.05). The highest consumption of dry matter and protein in the P1 treatment and the highest daily weight gain for local rams was obtained in the P3 treatment. Hence, it was concluded that fermented cocoa seeds can replace up to 75% of field grass for sheep feed purposes.

Authors: Gandhi D. Priyanka , Bharathi T. Usha
Published: May 2020

A study was carried out to determine the association between different quantitative characters of eighteen genotypes of tuberose cultivars single. The highest positive and significant association was recorded for spike yield with plant height (0.33), rachis length (0.30), number of florets per spike (0.34), weight of single floret (0.63), matured bud weight (0.66), duration of flowering (0.52). The results of path coefficient analysis indicated that the weight of the floret (1.48) had very high positive direct effect on spike yield per plant followed by length of the floret (0.84) number of florets per spike (0.45) and duration of flowering (0.41). Spike length (0.27) had moderate positive direct effect. Plant height (0.16) and number of leaves (0.17) showed low positive direct effect and rest of the characters had negligible positive direct effect on spike yield per plant. The results of the study indicates that the above mentioned characters can be used for the improvement of tuberose.

Published: May 2020

Neospora caninum is a coccidian parasite causing abortion in cattle and neurological problems in horses. Dogs are definitive hosts of N. caninum. Polymerase chain reaction is the most specific method used for the detection of N. caninum oocytes. In the present study, a total of 100 fecal samples were collected from naturally infected dogs. Of the 100 samples analyzed, 11 of them were detected with Hammondia/Neospora-like oocytes. Genomic DNA was isolated using a commercially available DNA extraction kit. The Nc5 gene specific to N. caninum was amplified by PCR and two of the eleven samples with Hammondia/Neospora-like oocytes formed ~337 bp repeatable band. In conclusion, N. caninum, which has been shown to cause neurological disorders in dogs and to abortion in cattle, was detected in naturally infected dogs in Van Province in Polymerase chain reaction.
Effect of Hormonal Seed Priming on Germination, Growth, Yield and Biomass Allocation in Soybean Grown under Induced Drought Stress
Authors: Mangena P.
Published: May 2020

Seed priming has potential to improve seedling development and plant growth under environmental stress. In this study, seeds of soybean cultivar LS678 and TGx1835-10E were pretreated with an optimum level of benzyladenine (4.87 mgL-1) before sowing into pots containing pasteurised mixture of vermiculite and sand. Plants were grown up to V3 stage before exposure to moderate and severe drought stress. According to the results, germination was rapid in hydroprimed seeds than BA primed seeds, which took longer to emerge. However, growth, yield and biomass of BA primed plants were increased (number of branches per plant- 7.32, flowering-87.6%, 100 seed weight- 22.6 g, overall biomass fraction- >40.5%) compared to plants developed from hydroprimed seeds (number of branches- 3.61, seed weight- 19.2 g, biomass- 12%) under similar growth conditions. This study indicated that, hormonal seed priming with BA reasonably enhanced soybean growth, particularly root biomass, flowering and fruiting. These effects further suggest that BA may play a significant role in improving drought tolerance in soybean.

Published: May 2020

Annona deceptrix is an endemic and endangered tree from Ecuador according to the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species™. Its endangered status has been related with anthropogenic activities and some intrinsic characteristics of this species such as a low germination capacity of its seeds under natural conditions which is a serious limitation to obtain plants to establish conservation and breeding strategies. The objective of this study was to determine the seed germination capacity of A. deceptrix under different conditions and pre-germination treatments as a decisive factor in the survival of the species in ecosystems. The six pre-germination treatments were seed mechanical scarification (fine sandpaper), seed imbibitions in gibberellic acid solutions with three different concentrations (600, 700, 800 ppm) for 24 hours, imbibition of seeds in distilled water for 48 hours and direct sowing (control). For each treatment was sown twenty seeds under greenhouse conditions and germination chamber. The variables evaluated were: total number of germinated seeds, germination capacity, maximum germination value and germination energy. Mechanical scarification was the best treatment with 100 % germinated seed and showed to be significantly different than the other treatment. In this regards, the rest of the treatment the germination ranged between 35 % to 55 % and did not show statistical differences each other. In conclusion, the seeds of A. deceptrix have a low germination capacity in natural conditions and then they need a pre-germination process such as mechanical-scarification to guarantees for their performance in the ecosystems.

Published: May 2020

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of seed priming with magnesium nitrate salt against the moisture stress condition induced by Polyethylene glycol-6000 on seed germination, vigour index and tolerance index in root and shoot. Polyethylene glycol-6000 was used to create short term moisture stress under laboratory conditions while the seed priming was carried out by using magnesium nitrate. The percent germination, seed vigour index and tolerance index were started to decline from T1 to T4 (i.e. set first 1.5 and 4.5 % of PEG-6000 solution + none primed seed) while the results of second set (i.e. PEG-6000 + primed seed from T5 to T8) were also following the same decreasing trend along with improvement in every parameters. The germination was recorded highest 100 percent in T5 (i.e. 1.5% PEG-6000+ primed seed) followed by T6, T1 and T7 (T6 and T7 is 2.5% and 3.5 % PEG-6000+ primed seed) while the control set recorded 98.7% at final date of observations i.e. 240 Hrs. vigour index and tolerance index was also decreasing in both the set of treatments but PEG-600 + primed seed showed better results as compared to the treatments PEG-6000 + none primed. Tolerance index percent was recorded maximum in root as compare to shoot at 120 hrs. of intervals while the reverse result was recorded at 240 hrs. of intervals.

Published: May 2020

Rice is one of the most important staple food crops for billions of people throughout the world. It is the cheapest source of dietary energy, protein and minerals for people but poor in micronutrients such as Fe and Zn to eliminate “hidden hunger”. In the present study, a population of 126recombinant inbred lines developed from a cross between Lemont X Satabdi (IET 4786) were used to identify high iron and zinc content coupled with yield and yield attributing traits. Analysis of Variance revealed that a considerable variation in iron and zinc existed among genotypes. The correlation study revealed that number of filled grain was positively associated with panicle length and yield per plant and number of panicles, but no significant positive correlation was observed between grain zinc content and iron content. Zinc and iron content of rice was estimated using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and the samples were prepared by tri-acid digestion method. Among RIL lines, the line 57, 97,120, 48, 99, 124 contained more than 30 ppm Fe and the lines 24, 6, 9, 23, 29, 125 were found to possess more than 50 ppm Zn. The lines 9,6,48 and 57 were recorded to be high yielding with high zinc and Fe content in grain and in future these four lines look promising for multi location trial also. These high Fe and Zn content genotypes can be utilized in future breeding programme as a donor or good source for bio fortification of rice genotypes.
A imagem e seus sentidos imanentes e transcendentes
Authors: Anaz Sílvio Antonio Luiz
Published: May 2020

Este artigo busca contribuir na compreensão da natureza da imagem e de seu papel na geração de sentidos nos processos comunicacionais. Baseada principalmente nas perspectivas teóricas de Durand (2002), Jung (1994, 2011) e Damásio (2004, 2011), a reflexão explora como se dá a construção da imagem simbólica, a partir do papel dos arquétipos e das capacidades de percepção e de imaginação humanas, e de que forma esse tipo de imagem constrói os significados que produz. Como resultado, propõe-se um conceito de imagem que a coloca como elemento básico e essencial do pensamento humano que antecede ontológica e temporalmente a palavra e é dotada de significações imanentes e transcendentes.

Memória em funcionamento no discurso
Authors: Sousa Lucília Maria Abrahão e , Ruiz Marco Antonio Almeida , Almeida João Flávio de , Bastos Gustavo Grandini
Published: May 2020

A memória do discurso pode ser construída a partir de diferentes lugares de (res)significações sociais, em que certos imaginários são colocados à prova em relação aos contextos de sua circulação. Assim, a memória pode adquirir novos sentidos no interior de um interdiscurso, em que por meio de novas instâncias de enunciação irrompem novas ressignificações de memórias sobre o futuro. É, pois, considerando essa noção de memória social no âmbito do trabalho que propomos uma reflexão das ideias de futuro baseadas numa exposição de arte intitulada “Ofisuka 2068 - imaginando um futuro do trabalho”, realizada em setembro de 2018 no Museu do Amanhã. O objetivo foi observar as mutações de memória e discurso na sociedade em relação às ideias pré-estabelecidas da noção de trabalho num amanhã que ainda está por vir. Conhecer, assim, novas instâncias discursivas que ressignificam certas formulações no interior do interdiscurso.
Enseñar e investigar hoy en educación comparada
Authors: Lázaro Luis Miguel
Published: May 2020

Aunque con claras diferencias regionales, en los últimos treinta años hemos pasado —claramente en el caso de España— de una limitada visibilidad en el terreno académico, con una escasa presencia curricular en Grados y Posgrados, muchas veces centrada en ofertas de carácter optativo, a una oferta diversificada y consolidada en todos los niveles de la enseñanza universitaria en el ámbito de la Educación Comparada (Lázaro, 2013). Exactamente la misma tendencia podemos observar si nos referimos a la actividad investigadora en ese mismo terreno de la comparación educativa con una perspectiva internacional.

Aerobic exercise can improve cardiorespiratory fitness in young people. Irises released into the bloodstream function to execute regulation of energy metabolism, triggering browning white adipose, which is useful in mitochondrial biogenesis. The American College of Sport Medicine (ACSM) recommends moderate intensity cardiorespiratory fitness training with a frequency of 3-5 times a week, duration of 20-60 minutes, using a treadmill. Study subjects (n = 20) were divided randomly into 2 groups, namely the moderate intensity Treadmill training group with gradual speed improvement and gradual inclination increase. Serum slices are measured on the first and last day of exercise. There was an increasing of irisin serum  in the moderate intensity Treadmill training group by increasing gradually speed after 2 weeks of exercise, both 30 minutes pre-exercise (p = 0.02) and 1 hour post exercise (p = 0.01). Medium intensity Treadmill training with 2 weeks gradual speed increase with frequency 3 times a week can increase serum slice in men, healthy untrained young men.

Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH) je složena državna zajednica sastavljena od dva entiteta i tri konstitutivna naroda. Ta činjenica je posljedica građanskog rata 1992-95. godine, koji je promijenio etničku strukturu BiH. U institucionalnom smislu entitetima je u Dejtonu dat vrlo visok nivo političke samostalnosti. Tzv. “entitetski veto” je nastao u Dejtonu i primjenjuje se u mnogim ključnim tijelima – od Doma naroda, Predstavničkog doma Parlamentarne skupštine BiH, do Predsjedništva BiH. Pored toga, tvrdi se da BiH nema tzv. unutrašnje priznanje i mnogi od aktera na političkoj sceni zagovaraju radikalne ustavne promjene koje bi narušile ili čak potpuno promijenile “Dejtonsku” arhitekturu BiH. Imajući u vidu ove faktore, ne iznenađuje prisutnost secesionističke retorike u političkom prostoru BiH. U ovom radu analiziraćemo secesionističku retoriku u Republici Srpskoj (RS) i pokušaćemo da opišemo moguću secesionističku strategiju u njenim glavnim linijama. Cilj nam je utvrditi da li se može reći da secesionistički argumenti, retorika i eventualno politike predstavljaju integralnu strategiju i koherentnu političku platformu ili su motivisane dnevnopolitičkim razlozima. Takođe ćemo pokušati utvrditi koliko je ova secesionistička retorika institucionalizovana, tj. koliko je zastupljena u zvaničnim dokumentima institucija RS i/ili glavnih političkih stranaka, a koliko ostaje na nivou društvenih pokreta i/ili pojedinačnih političkih subjekata.
Coronavirus (Covid-19): The Lockdown Strategy in Nigeria
Authors: Ekienabor Ehijiele
Published: May 2020

The spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has already taken on pandemic proportions, affecting over 150 countries in a matter of months. Even though containment measures in China have reduced new cases by more than 90%, this reduction is not the case elsewhere, as the US, Spain and Italy have come off worse-off by the spread of the virus, and there is serious concern regarding the national health systems' capacity around the world and Africa, in particular, to effectively respond to the needs of infected patients who require intensive care for the COVID-19 illness. As a result, authorities around the world have resorted to the lockdown strategy to curb the spread of the virus. Therefore, the study aimed at investigating the effect of the lockdown strategy in curbing the spread of the COVID-19 virus in Nigeria. Consequently, the study found daily relative risk increase in cases, and daily relative risk increase in mortality. Also observed is the growth in cases in areas where active measures were not taken. Further, halt in business activities has rendered many penniless and unable to provide for themselves basic amenities. The study recommends that there is need to implement community-level measures of social distancing which may include closing schools, need for individuals with COVID-19 case or respiratory symptoms be properly taken care of, trace and quarantine those who must have come in contact with affected persons and introducing stay at home palliatives for the general public.
Metabolic Heat in Microbial Conflict and Cooperation
Authors: Frank Steven A.
Published: May 2020

Many microbes live in habitats below their optimum temperature. Retention of metabolic heat by aggregation or insulation would boost growth. Generation of excess metabolic heat may also provide benefit. A cell that makes excess metabolic heat pays the cost of production, whereas the benefit may be shared by neighbors within a zone of local heat capture. Metabolic heat as a shareable public good raises interesting questions about conflict and cooperation of heat production and capture. Metabolic heat may also be deployed as a weapon. Species with greater thermotolerance gain by raising local temperature to outcompete less thermotolerant taxa. Metabolic heat may provide defense against bacteriophage attack, by analogy with fever in vertebrates. This article outlines the theory of metabolic heat in microbial conflict and cooperation, presenting several predictions for future study.
Construction Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection: Significance, Overlaps, and Proposed Action Plan
Authors: García de Soto Borja , Georgescu Alexandru , Mantha Bharadwaj , Turk Žiga , Maciel Abel
Published: May 2020

The umbrella concept for the current efforts to digitize construction is known as Construction 4.0. One of its key concepts is cyber-physical systems. The construction industry is not only creating increasingly valuable digital assets (in addition to physical ones) but also the buildings and built infrastructures are increasingly monitored and controlled using digital technology. Both make construction a vulnerable target of cyber-attacks. While the damage to digital assets, such as designs and cost calculations, may result in economic damage, attacks on digitally-controlled physical assets may damage the well-being of occupants and, in worst-case scenarios, even damage (or death) to the users. The problem is amplified by the emerging cyber-physical nature of the systems, where the human checks may be left out. We propose that construction learns from the work done in the context of critical infrastructures (CI). First, a lot of CI is construction-related, and the process of designing and building it must be secured accordingly. Second, while most assets may not be critical in the CI sense, they are critical to the operations of a business and the lives of citizens. In the end, we recommend some steps so that well-established processes of critical infrastructure protection trickle down to make Construction 4.0 and the built environment more cyber-secure. With that in mind, we describe the possible inclusion of Construction 4.0 considerations into existing critical infrastructure protection (CIP) frameworks with minimum frictions. We also propose some suggestions regarding possible future courses of action to improve the increasingly vulnerable cyber-security environment of the built environment across all life cycle phases - design, construction, operation, maintenance, and end of life.
Gaussian Doubling Times and Reproduction Factors of the COVID-19 Pandemic Disease
Authors: Kröger Martin , Schlickeiser Reinhard
Published: May 2020

The Gauss model for the time evolution of the first corona pandemic wave rendered useful in the estimation of peak times, amount of required equipment, and the forecasting of fade out times. At the same time it is probably the simplest analytically tractable model that allows to quantitatively forecast the time evolution of infections and fatalities during a pandemic wave. In light of the various descriptors such as doubling times and reproduction factors currently in use to judge about lock-downs and other measures that aim to prevent spreading of the virus, we hereby provide both exact, and simple approximate relationships between the two relevant parameters of the Gauss model (peak time and width), and the transient behavior of two versions of doubling times, and three variants of reproduction factors including basic reproduction numbers.
Tuberculosis Following PD-1 Inhibitor in A Patient with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer; A Case Report & Literature Review
Authors: Omar Nabil
Published: May 2020

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) – anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) and their ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2) have become widely used in the treatment of several malignancies. Many immune-related adverse events have been linked to these agents. However, tuberculosis (TB) reactivation during their use is increasingly reported. Herein, we present a 58-year-old lady with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ALK-negative, EGFR wild, and PD-L1 Immune histochemistry (IHC) strongly positive in 95% of tumor cells. The patient presented with high-grade fever and a history of productive cough for a 1-week duration. A few days later, she was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis following the 6th cycle of Pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody. AFB smear and TB PCR from BAL were positive (rifampin resistance not detected), and she was accordingly started on Anti-TB medications. Immunotherapy was held. Of note, the patient had a history of sick contact with a patient with active TB infection ten years ago, but there was no documentation of latent TB or previous TB infection. Her HIV status is negative. Her sputum AFB smear continued to be positive after four weeks of anti-TB medications. Later, the patient was discharged after her sputum was cleared from AFB (negative x 2 sets). We assumed that our patient developed reactivation of pulmonary tuberculosis secondary to an immune checkpoint inhibitor (Pembrolizumab). She was not re-challenged with Pembrolizumab following TB diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case from the Arab and the Middle East; it reinforces the previous observations of the association between ICIs administration and the development of MTB. Nevertheless, further studies in the clinical setting are necessary to establish the exact mechanism involved in this association. Oncologists' awareness & prompt recognition of this potential hazardous consequence are essential. Since there is no clear evidence whether LTBT prior PD-1/PD targeted immunotherapy is required, targeted LTBT before starting ICIs immunotherapy with TB chemoprophylaxis; yet to be explored, particularly in the regions where the MTB prevalence is high.
The Theses on Feuerbach and Decolonising Methodology: A Parallel Walking
Authors: chowdhury jahid , Abd Wahab Haris , bin Saad Rashid
Published: May 2020

This article aims to reflect upon the relevance of Decolonization methodologies with the Theses on Feuerbach. Somehow, all the Indigenous scholars started from new Marxist like Paulo Freire, Frantz Fanon, but not from classic Marx. To us, the German Ideology of young Marx only resembles the pioneering sources of Indigenous methodology. This discussion is thus a reflection of our studies and a philosophic endeavor to talk about the marginal people of the world, and the scholars who engaged in and with the oppressed. However, we are not prepared to turn our attention away from all the vastness of Marx to a collection of potentially equally relevant to Indigenous methodology. This article concludes that the Theses on Feuerbach is the core of Marxist archaeology of knowledge or philosophy as a whole and has been wading in the Indigenous paradigm.
Transgender Women in The Female Category of Sport: Is the Male Performance Advantage Removed by Testosterone Suppression?
Authors: Hilton Emma N. , Lundberg Tommy R.
Published: May 2020

Sex dimorphism starts during early embryogenesis and is further manifested in response to hormones during puberty. As this leads to physical divergence that is measurably different between sexes, males enjoy physical performance advantages over females within competitive sport. While this advantage is the underlying basis of the segregation into male and female sporting categories, these sex-based categories do not account for transgender persons who experience incongruence between their biological sex and their experienced gender identity. Accordingly, the International Olympic Committee determined criteria by which a transgender woman may be eligible to compete in the female category, requiring total serum testosterone levels to be suppressed below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to and during competition. Whether this regulation removes the male performance advantage has not been collectively scrutinized. Here, we aim to review how differences in biological characteristics between biological males and females affect sporting performance and assess whether evidence exists to support the assumption that testosterone suppression in transgender women removes the male performance advantage. In this review, we report that the performance gap between males and females amounts to 10-50% depending on sport. The performance gap is more pronounced in sporting activities relying on muscle mass and strength, particularly in the upper body. Longitudinal studies examining the effects of testosterone suppression on muscle mass and strength in transgender women consistently show very modest changes, where the loss of lean body mass, muscle area and strength typically amounts to approximately 5% after 1 year of treatment. Thus, current evidence shows that the biological advantage enjoyed by transgender women is only minimally reduced when testosterone is suppressed. Sports organizations may therefore be compelled to reassess current policies regarding participation of transgender women in the female category of sport.
Modeling of Quantile Regression to Know the Factors Affecting the High Spread Api Malaria in Indonesia
Authors: Matdoan Yahya
Published: May 2020

The OLS method estimation is based on a normal distribution, so it is not appropriate to analyze a number of data that are not symmetrical or contain outliers. Therefore, quantile regression was developed which was not affected by outliers. This study compares quantile regression with OLS in the case of factors affecting malaria in Indonesia. The results show that the value of the Quantil Regression model is 0,832 and the MSE value is 0,182. In addition, the OLS model obtained a value of 0,681 and an MSE value of 0,231. So we get the conclusion that the best model is a quantile regression model. Further results were obtained that the main factors causing the spread of malaria in Indonesia were the factor of livable houses, poor population factors and physician factors.
