Authors: Badawi Mazen A. , Al-Alawi Maha M.
Published: November 2019

Fournier’s gangrene is an acute rapidly progressing form of necrotizing fasciitis involving the genitalia and perianal regions. Trauma and local infection are the most common risk factors especially in the setting of diabetes. It is usually a polymicrobial infection caused by skin flora of the genital area. The most commonly isolated aerobic microorganism are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus, while Bacteroides fragilis is a common culprit from the anaerobic group. We report a patient with Fournier’s gangrene caused by Helcococcus kunzii; anaerobic gram-positive coccus not known to be associated with Fournier’s gangrene before.

Published: November 2019

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disease that may be associated with psychiatric illnesses. Furthermore, treatment of obstructive sleep apnea may improve mood disorders.

Objective: To evaluate the frequency of depression, anxiety, and stress in Saudi Arabia with obstructive sleep apnea and its link with obstructive sleep apnea severity.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, all patients at risk of obstructive sleep apnea visiting the sleep clinic at a university hospital from January 2015 till February 2016 were enrolled. Those who were already confirmed with obstructive sleep apnea and were receiving continuous positive airway pressure were also studied. Patients with a history of psychiatric illnesses or use of antipsychotic medication in the last six months were excluded. Depression, anxiety, and stress were assessed using self-administered validated questionnaires: The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale.

Results: Seventy-five patients with obstructive sleep apnea were included. Males accounted for 65.30% of the study population. Mean age was 47.49 years and mean body mass index was 36.5 kg/m2. Fifty percent had depression, 54.60% had anxiety and 65.30% had stress. In addition, the prevalence of depression and anxiety but not stress appears to be higher in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea. Moreover, treatment with continuous positive airway pressure seems to decrease the prevalence of mood disorders among sleep apnea patients.

Conclusion: Mood disorders are very common among patients with obstructive sleep apnea and their prevalence tends to increase with the severity of obstructive sleep apnea and decrease among those receiving continuous positive airway pressure.

Published: November 2019

Objectives:  The objective of this study is to identify the risk factors associated with fall injuries among patients in King Abdulaziz University Hospital.

Methods:  A retrospective cohort study based on a review of the medical records of patients (in- and outpatients) in King Abdulaziz University Hospital was done from February 2013 to October 2013. The data included medical histories, including fall history, fall-related hospitalization and complications, history of anemia, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease, including drug and smoking history. Laboratory and radiology findings were also included. The data was analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 20 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY USA).

Results:  Among 108 samples, 58 had experienced a fall and 50 served as control. Roughly 98% had a history of fall-related hospitalization, 85% were complicated by fractures, while 12% were complicated by intracranial bleeding. Patients older than 60 were more likely to fall and to have a history of falls (p < 0.001). Non-smokers were more likely to report a history of falling (p < 0.001). Cases with previous fall-related hospitalization (p < 0.001) were more likely to have a fall. Conversely, cases with anemic history [28 (48%) (p < 0.001)] were less likely to have a fall than their non-anemic counterparts.

Conclusion:  Given the multifactorial nature of fractures, larger local studies are recommended to investigate the risk of fall-based fractures. The high risk of individuals experiencing multiple falls with a significant likelihood of complications suggest that further investigation will help improve patient outcomes, reduce treatment cost and need for long-term support.

Development of Synbiotics with Inulin, Palatinose, α-Cyclodextrin and Probiotic Bacteria
Authors: PRANCKUTĖ RAMINTA , KAUNIETIS ARNOLDAS , KUISIENĖ NOMEDA , ČITAVIČIUS DONALDAS
Published: November 2019

Success in creating a synbiotic depends on compatibility between the chosen components--prebiotic and probiotic. In this work the interactions between Lactobacillus sp. strains isolated from yogurts and type strains of Lactobacillus sp. and Lactococcus sp., and the dependence of their growth and antibacterial activity on three oligosaccharides (OS)--palatinose, inulin and alpha-cyclodextrin were investigated. All isolated lactobacilli produce antibacterial compounds, which possibly are the bacteriocins of Lactobacillus casei ATCC334 strain. Results of growth analysis with different OS revealed that part of lactobacilli isolated from yogurts can effectively ferment inulin and may be used for the development of synbiotics. Palatinose and Lactobacillus acidophilus could be used as symbiotics with effective antibacterial activity. One of the types of Lactococcus sp. strains can assimilate palatinose and alpha-cyclodextrin, so they both can be used as components of synbiotics with the investigated lactococci. Results of this analysis suggest that the investigated isolated and type strains of Lactobacillus sp. and Lactoccocus sp. can be useful as probiotics in the development of synbiotics. Together with prebiotics--palatinose, inulin and alpha-cyclodextrin, the synbiotics, which could regulate not only the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, but also their antibacterial activity, can be created.
Fournier’s Gangrene – Current Concepts

Published: November 2019

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rapidly progressive form of infective necrotising fasciitis of the perineal, genital, or perianal regions, leading to thrombosis of the small subcutaneous vessels and necrosis of the overlying skin. It is believed that the occurrence of the disease in women is underreported and may be unrecognised by some clinicians. Fournier's gangrene is a life-threatening condition, constituting an urological emergency. Many patients with Fournier's gangrene have medical or surgical conditions, which are predisposing factors to this disease or its more severe or fatal course. These comprise diabetes mellitus, hypertension, alcoholism and advanced age. Recent reports in the literature point to changes in the epidemiology of FG, comprising an increasing age of patients. Several authors reported that the mean age of FG patients is at present 53-55 years. Prognosis in FG patients is based on FGSI (Fournier's gangrene severity index) score. Despite the progress in medical care for FG patients, the mortality rate reported in the literature remains high--most often 20-40%, but ranges from 4% to 80%. The most common isolates cultured from FG lesions are both Gram-positive and Gram-negative, as well as strictly anaerobic bacteria. Recently community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has emerged as an etiological agent of FG with severe clinical course and even fulminant sepsis. Rarely FG may have a fungal etiology, being caused by yeast-like fungi Candida spp. or by moulds. Antibiotics should be administered parenterally and in doses high enough to reach an effective concentration in the infected tissues.
Identification and Assessment of Genetic Similarity of Soil Bacterial Isolates of Pseudomonas spp. Using Molecular Techniques
Authors: LISEK ANNA , SAS PASZ LIDIA , TRZCIŃSKI PAWEŁ
Published: November 2019

Bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas are often components of bioproducts designed to enhance the condition of the soil and plants. The use of Pseudomonas bacteria in bioproducts must be preceded by the acquisition, characterization and selection of beneficial strains living in the soil. A prerequisite for the selection of bacterial strains for use in bioproducts is to be able to identify the isolates rapidly and accurately. To identify and differentiate 15 bacterial isolates obtained from the soil surrounding the roots of sour cherry trees and to assess their genetic similarity, the rep-PCR technique and restriction analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and the 16S-ITS-23S rRNA operon were used. In addition, a sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene was performed. The analyses made it possible to divide the isolates into four clusters and to confirm their affiliation with the Pseudomonas species. RFLP analysis of the 16S-ITS-23S rRNA operon enabled greater differentiation of the isolates than RFLP of the 16S rRNA gene. The greatest differentiation of isolates within the clusters was obtained after using the rep-PCR technique. However, none of the techniques was able to discriminate all the isolates, which indicates very high genetic similarity of the Pseudomonas isolates found in the same sample of soil from around the roots of sour cherry trees. The tests performed will find application for distinguishing and identifying Pseudomonas strains collected from the soil in order to select the most valuable bacterial strains that produce beneficial effects on plants.
How to Establish Talented Employees in Slovak Companies
Authors: Vetráková Milota , Šimočková Ivana , Kubaľa Jaroslav , Malachovský Andrej
Published: November 2019

In this paper, we examine HRM processes and procedures in Slovak companies and their impact on the development and retention of talented individuals. The paper presents expert opinions on talented employees and talent management with the emphasis on talent pools. These are compared from several points of views and critical evaluating judgements are adopted. We find that talented employees, in comparison to other employees, tend to consider a better job offer from another company as a reason to change their employer. Moreover, they understand the feeling of recognition and being valued as an important stabilizer. These axioms are linked together with various managers' opinions on how to attract and retain employees with required potential and performance. The theoretical basis is supported by a survey undertaken in 2017 in 381 Slovak companies which were selected on the basis of their international scope and long-term performance. The survey respondents were human resources managers and/or personnel responsible for HRM. The Delphi method was used to question experts about the importance of supporting talented employees in enterprises.

Published: November 2019

Duties, tasks, different situations or decisions need to be resolved on a daily basis. However, it often happens that because of over-information from different sides, an excessive number of tasks, the fast pace of life, and so on we tend to procrastinate important tasks for later. This phenomenon can occur in almost every area, including the academic area. This contribution, therefore, addresses the occurrence of academic procrastination and the establishment and use of time management by university students. The main objective is to identify possible differences in procrastination and the right use of time management in a cross-cultural context. A research sample consisted of 292 students from the Uzhhorod National University and from the University of Prešov, on which we surveyed the rate of procrastination and rate of time management through our own questionnaire. Subsequent testing of the obtained data revealed that there are statistically significant differences in procrastination between Ukrainian and Slovak students, but differences in time management have not been confirmed.

How dental students’ course experiences and satisfaction of their basic psychological needs influence passion for studying in Chile
Authors: Orsini Cesar , Tricio Jorge , Tapia Doris , Segura Cristina
Published: November 2019

Purpose: This study aimed to determine how the general course experiences of dental students in Chile and the satisfaction or frustration of their basic psychological needs influenced their passion for studying, and how passion influenced students’ study strategies.Methods: A correlational cross-sectional study was conducted at 3 Chilean dental schools between April and June 2018, in which 935 undergraduate students participated. Students responded to Spanish-language versions of 4 psychological scale tools: the Course Experience Questionnaire, the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfac¬tion and Frustration Scale, the Passion Scale, and the Revised Study Process Questionnaire. Data were analysed with bivariate correlations and structural equation modelling, controlling for age, gender, year of study, and type of university.Results: Students’ general course experiences (i.e., good teaching, clear goals and standards, appropriate assessment, and appropriate workload) positively predicted basic need satisfaction and negatively predicted need frustration. Need satisfaction positively predicted passion in students, with stronger scores for harmonious passion. Basic need frustration positively predicted obsessive passion and negatively predicted harmonious passion. Harmonious passion positively predicted deep study strategies and negatively predicted surface study strategies, while obsessive passion positively predicted both deep and surface study strategies.Conclusion: Dental students’ optimal course experiences positively influenced the satisfaction of their basic psychological needs, which favoured harmonious over obsessive passion. In turn, harmonious over obsessive passion positively influenced deep study strategies. Therefore, efforts should be made to provide course experiences that support students’ basic needs and harmonious passion for studying, both in classroom and chair-side teaching.
Sildenafil Is More Selective Pulmonary Vasodilator Than Prostaglandin E1 in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Heart Failure

Published: November 2019

In some patients, heart failure (HF) is associated with increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). The magnitude and the reversibility of PVR elevation affect the HF management. Sildenafil has been recently recognized as potent PVR-lowering drug in HF. The aim of the study was to compare hemodynamic effects and pulmonary selectivity of sildenafil to prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). Right-heart catheterization was performed in 13 euvolemic advanced HF patients with elevated PVR (6.3±2 Wood´s units). Hemodynamic parameters were measured at the baseline, during i.v. infusion of PGE1 (alprostadil 200 ng∙kg-1∙min-1) and after 40 mg oral dose of sildenafil. Both drugs similarly reduced systemic vascular resistance (SVR), but sildenafil had higher effect on PVR (–28 % vs. –49 %, p=0.05) and transpulmonary pressure gradient than PGE1. The PVR/SVR ratio – an index of pulmonary selectivity, did not change after PGE1 (p=0.7) but it decreased by –32 % (p=0.004) after sildenafil. Both drugs similarly reduced pulmonary artery mean and wedge pressures and increased cardiac index (+27 % and +28 %). Sildenafil led more often to transplant-acceptable PVR while causing smaller drop of mean systemic pressure than PGE1. In conclusion, vasodilatatory effects of sildenafil in patients with heart failure are more pronounced in pulmonary than in systemic circulation.

Published: November 2019

Monoamine oxidase (MAO, type A and B) and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) metabolize biogenic amines, however, the impact of these enzymes in arteries from patients with type 2 diabetes remains poorly understood. We investigated the kinetic parameters of the enzymes to establish putative correlations with noradrenaline (NA) content and patient age in human mesenteric arteries from type 2 diabetic patients. The kinetic parameters were evaluated by radiochemical assay and NA content by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The activity of MAO-A and SSAO in type 2 diabetic vascular tissues was significantly lower compared to the activity obtained in non-diabetic tissues. In the correlation between MAO-A (Km) and NA content, we found a positive correlation for both the diabetic and non-diabetic group, but no correlation was established for patient age. In both groups, MAO-B (Vmax) showed a negative correlation with age. The results show that MAO-A and SSAO activities and NA content of type 2 diabetic tissues are lower compared to the non-diabetic tissues, while MAO-B activity remained unchanged. These remarks suggest that MAO-A and SSAO may play an important role in vascular tissue as well as in the vascular pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes.
Profound Alterations in the Intrinsic Excitability of Cerebellar Purkinje Neurons Following Neurotoxin 3-Acetylpyridine (3-AP)-Induced Ataxia in Rat: New Insights Into the Role of Small Conductance K+ Channels

Published: November 2019

Alterations in the intrinsic properties of Purkinje cells (PCs) may contribute to the abnormal motor performance observed in ataxic rats. To investigate whether such changes in the intrinsic neuronal excitability could be attributed to the role of
Ca2+-activated K+ channels (KCa), whole cell current clamp recordings were made from PCs in cerebellar slices of control and ataxic rats. 3-AP induced profound alterations in the intrinsic properties of PCs, as evidenced by a significant increase in both the membrane input resistance and the initial discharge frequency, along with the disruption of the firing regularity. In control PCs, the blockade of small conductance KCa channels by UCL1684 resulted in a significant increase in the membrane input resistance, action potential (AP) half-width, time to peak of the AP and initial discharge frequency. SK channel blockade also significantly decreased the neuronal discharge regularity, the peak amplitude of the AP, the amplitude of the after- hyperpolarization and the spike frequency adaptation ratio. In contrast, in ataxic rats, both the firing regularity and the initial firing frequency were significantly increased by the blockade of SK channels. In conclusion, ataxia may arise from alterations in the functional contribution of SK channels, to the intrinsic properties of PCs.

Published: November 2019

TRH-like peptides are characterized by substitution of basic amino acid histidine (related to authentic TRH) with neutral or acidic amino acid, like glutamic acid, phenylalanine, glutamine, tyrosine, leucin, valin, aspartic acid and asparagine. The presence of extrahypothalamic TRH-like peptides was reported in peripheral tissues including gastrointestinal tract, placenta, neural tissues, male reproductive system and certain endocrine tissues. Work deals with the biological function of TRH-like peptides in different parts of organisms where various mechanisms may serve for realisation of biological function of TRH-like peptides as negative feedback to the pituitary exerted by the TRH-like peptides, the role of pEEPam such as fertilization-promoting peptide, the mechanism influencing the proliferative ability of prostatic tissues, the neuroprotective and antidepressant function of TRH-like peptides in brain and the regulation of thyroid status by TRH-like peptides.

Approche discursive de la généricité des monographies illustrées: le parti pris des « Albums de la Pléiade » et des « Écrivains de toujours »
Authors: Delormas Pascale
Published: November 2019

Entreprises de transmission culturelle, comme les anthologies scolaires, les monographies illustrées témoignent d'une conception de l'auteur conforme aux conventions véhiculées par l'histoire littéraire. Cependant, l'analyse comparative de ces ouvrages à propos d'un même auteur permet de vérifier que le discours biographique, en dépit des apparences, est loin d'être une catégorie discursive homogène. La construction de la figure auctoriale de Rousseau dans la collection « Écrivains de toujours » et dans la collection « Albums de la Pléiade » en est un bon exemple. L'examen du rapport que l'iconographie entretient avec le texte est un moyen efficace d'approcher ces objets pluri-sémiotiques que sont les monographies illustrées. Le dispositif est fondé sur le collage et la glose mais il n'est pas actualisé de la même façon dans les deux collections. Ni au niveau textuel ni au niveau de l'image les choix éditoriaux ne sont les mêmes. Ainsi, dans l'album de la Pléiade, la fonction de l'étayage photographique est celle du témoignage et le texte orchestre la mise en scène des documents. Dans Rousseau par lui-même, le texte relève du commentaire des œuvres de l'auteur et les images qui l'accompagnent revêtent une fonction illustrative. Dans le premier cas, est entretenu un véritable culte, dans le second cas, se manifeste un rapport distancié à la légende. Cependant, les caractéristiques énonciatives montrent que le rapport des auteurs de « second niveau » à l'auteur de « premier niveau » renvoie toujours à la connivence et à l'admiration convenues. L'étude d'autres monographies des mêmes collections permettra de généraliser ces conclusions.
L'Auteur comme produit d'appel: les figures d’écrivains dans les « Albums de la Pléiade »
Authors: Scibiorska Marcela
Published: November 2019

Les Albums de la Pléiade sont une collection destinée à promouvoir la prestigieuse Bibliothèque de la Pléiade (Gallimard). Offerts aux lecteurs à l'achat de trois volumes de leur collection-mère, ces livres proposent des biographies d’écrivains accompagnés d'une iconographie riche et diverse. Alors que ces récits icono-biographiques se consacrent inévitablement dans une grande mesure à la littérature, indissociable de la vie des auteurs, ce sont bien les figures d’écrivains telles que présentées à travers ces Albums qui constituent le pivot commercial de la collection, produit d'appel de la Bibliothèque de la Pléiade. Cette étude se penche sur la façon dont les Albums de la Pléiade mettent en scène les écrivains canoniques dont ils traitent dans le cadre d'une stratégie publicitaire euphémisée, qui vise à maintenir et à puiser du prestige de leur collection-mère en dissimulant leur visée intrinsèquement commerciale.
Modern Agoralarda Toplumsal Cinsiyet Oyunları: Disiplinlerarası Bir Saha Araştırması - Gender Games in Modern Agoras: An Interdisciplinary Field Research
Authors: BAŞCI Emre
Published: November 2019

Bu çalışmada; İzmir’de, farklı semtlerde konumlanmış alışveriş merkezlerinde çalışan satış görevlilerinin çalışma hayatlarının gizil ve önemli bir yüzünü oluşturan toplumsal cinsiyetleri, farklı disiplinlerin kullandığı kavramlar yoluyla mercek altına alınmaktadır. Şimdiye kadar gerçekleştirilen birçok araştırma, çalışma ortamında kadın emeğinin erkek emeğine nazaran değersiz görüldüğü ve toplumsal cinsiyet temelli adaletsizliklerin yaşandığını tespit etmiştir. Son yirmi senede popüler yaşam alanları hâline gelen -alışveriş, yemek, eğlence, spor, eğitim, hobi ve iş olanakları sunan- alışveriş merkezlerinde süregelen toplumsal cinsiyet temelli iletişimin ve çalışma normlarının özelliklerinin ortaya çıkarılması, araştırmacılar ve bu konuyla ilgilenen diğer kişi ve kurumlar için bu adaletsizliğin saptanabilmesi ve uygun çözüm önerilerinin getirilmesi yolunda önem taşımaktadır. Karma araştırma metodolojisinden yararlanılan bu çalışmada, sekiz farklı AVM’de çalışan satış görevlileri ile anket ve derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, toplumsal cinsiyet olgusunun çalışma norm ve ilişkilerini şekillendiren önemli bir faktör olduğunu göstermektedir. AVM’lerde çalışan kadın çalışanlar, tahmin edildiği gibi, erkek meslektaşları kadar kazanamamakta ve yönetim pozisyonları için eşit fırsatlara ulaşamamaktadır. Ancak diğer yandan, alanyazında sıklıkla karşılaşılmayan bir bulgu olarak kimi zaman erkek çalışanların da çalışma ortamında eşitsizliğin mağduru olduğu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Çalışma ilişkileri detaylı bir biçimde irdelendiğinde; toplumsal cinsiyet normlarının çalışma ortamındaki seçimi ve işleyişi üzerinde sektör, marka ve çalışan-müşteri özellikleri gibi değişkenlerin hatırı sayılır etkilere sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Genel olarak, Türkiye’de baskın olan kültürel kodların iş pratiklerini yüksek tutarlılıkla ve eşitsiz/adaletsiz bir biçimde yönlendirdiği anlaşılmaktadır.
Sevgi, Sadakat ve Güven Söylemlerinde Namusun İzini Sürmek: Öztahakküm Aracı Olarak Namus
Authors: KALAV Ayşe
Published: November 2019

Heteroseksist cinsiyet rejiminin temel öğretilerinden biri olan namus kavramı; kadınların ve erkeklerin beden ve iktidar pratiklerinin kurgulanmasında son derece etkili bir toplumsal ve politik araçtır. Bilginin tarafsız olmadığı, aksine ataerkil öğretilerle toplumsal olarak inşa edilmiş ve iktidar ilişkilerine gömülü olan yapısı dikkate alındığında; bilgiyi “bağlamsallığı” ve “konumsallığı” ile tartışmak feminist eleştirel çalışmalar için önemli olmuştur. Bu çalışma; “bilen” ve “eyleyen özneler” olarak araştırmaya katılan üniversite öğrencilerinin namus ve beden pratiklerini, toplumsal cinsiyet ve iktidar ilişkisi ekseninde irdelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışmada, hegemonik anlatılarda fiziksel şiddet ve kadın cinayetleri ile ilişkilendirilen namus kavramının, aynı zamanda “gizil” bir şiddet söylemine işaret ettiği; bedeni, cinselliği ve kadının ilişkilenme biçimlerini de içine dâhil edecek şekilde bir hakikat yasasına dönüştüğü iddia edilmiştir. İktidar, söylem üretme gücünü kullanarak bütüncül bir özne anlayışının aksine yeni öznellikler yaratır. Ezme ve ezilme dikotomisinin keskinliği içinde anlaşılamayacak bu yeni öznellikler araştırma kapsamında; “sosyal inşa” kuramının kuramsal çerçevesinden yararlanılarak “biyo-iktidar” ve “ataerkil pazarlık” kavramları ile tartışılmıştır. Bu tartışma sonucunda ise eril tahakkümün kadın bedenine yansımaları olarak kabul edilen namus söylemlerinin, yeni öznellikler ve toplumsal pratikler aracılığıyla yeniden üretildiği ve namus kavramına içkin cinsiyetçi özün sarsılmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Namusun -dışarıdan bir baskı aracına gerek duymadan- kadının duygularını, bedenini ve cinselliğini özkontrol mekanizmaları aracılığıyla sınırlandıran ve geleneksellikten arındırılmış bir çerçevede yeniden üretilen yapısına nüfuz eden bu çalışmada; kendiliğin bireysel isteklerle kurgulandığı bu süreç, rızanın inşası bağlamında tartışılmıştır.
ROLE OF CARBON CIRCULATION AS A BASIS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOIL FERTILITY MONITORING SYSTEM
Authors: Larionov Yury
Published: November 2019

The most important role in ensuring soil fertility is played by biological processes, and this, above all, the cycles of the main nutrients of plants, animals and microorganisms. Cycles play an important role in the biosphere, providing direct and inverse links in the chains of the agro-ecological system, while maintaining the integrity of the biosphere. To monitor soil fertility it is necessary to determine (find) an integral index and its cycle, which most objectively reflects this property of the soil. Such an indicator, according to our research, is the quantity and qualitative composition of organic matter in the soil, which mainly consists of plant biomass, as well as micro and animal organisms. From the standpoint of chemistry, carbon is a part of the organic matter of the soil in the form of a huge amount of biochemical compounds containing virtually the entire table D.I. Mendeleev, but only about 30 elements (organogenic) have fixed amount and are found in organisms all the time. At the same time, the ratio of organogenic elements in the soil is different, more concentrated, rather than in the crust, established by geochemistry. In this regard, we found that the main indicator of soil fertility (having a closer correlation with it and integrally reflecting it) can be the content and balance of organic matter in it, the activity of which determines the effective and potential soil fertility. As an indicator of the cycle of organic matter it is necessary to use the carbon cycle in the soil on which all organic matter in the biosphere is built. The role of many biochemical carbon compounds in the evolution of living and soil fertility remains is to be seen.

Authors: Anopchenko Lyudmila , Yakutin Mikhail
Published: November 2019

The article analyzes the nature and intensity of the impact of Novosibirsk’s cogeneration plant-3 on the environment. To assess environmental risks, two types of threats were identified and the corresponding risk groups were identified: violation of the temperature regime of networks; violation of the hydraulic regime of networks; reduction of the quality of make-up water; breakthrough of heating networks; suction of contaminated water from the near-pipe space; pollution with nitrogen oxide; pollution with sulfur dioxide; pollution with soot; ash pollution. Through the construction of risk maps for each risk, followed by the addition of maps allocated area of least well-being. It is the probability of the implementation of threats, and therefore the risks are the greatest. On the basis of the obtained maps, recommendations on the ecologization of the impact of Novosibirsk’s cogeneration plant-3 on the atmosphere were developed. The recommendations take into account modern strategies of environmental safety, in particular, methods of environmental management.
BOND FAILURE RATE OF AMORPHOUS CALCIUM PHOSPHATE CONTAINING (AEGIS ORTHO) AND FLUORIDE RELEASING (TRANSBOND PLUS COLOUR CHANGE) ORTHODONTIC ADHESIVES-A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL
Authors: Naidu Shyamala , Suresh Anand
Published: November 2019

Background: The aim of the study was to compare the survival rate of brackets bonded with amorphous calcium phosphate containing adhesive and fluoride releasing orthodontic adhesive over 6 months period. White spot lesions were also evaluated prior to bonding, 3 months and 6 months from the date of bonding.

Methods: Thirty six orthodontic patients were randomly divided into two equal groups using split mouth design. 592 brackets were bonded up to the premolars with either Aegis Ortho or Transbond Colour Change(TPCCA). Bracket failure rate and survival distribution were evaluated and compared using Kaplan- meier analysis and Log rank test with respect to adhesives, dental arches, segments , tooth types, gender and age groups. White spot lesion was assessed using WSL index.

Results: There was no significant difference between the failure rate of Aegis Ortho(3.0%) and TPCCA(1.4%). Kaplan Meier analysis, Log rank test showed that the difference in the overall failure rate and survival time between the arches, gender, and different age groups were not statistically significant. Both adhesives had a high bond failure rate in the posterior segment especially in the premolar region. Three patients had white spot lesions in the upper premolar region bonded with Aegis ortho.

Conclusion: Both Aegis ortho and Transbond plus colour change adhesive with a low bond failure rate can be used as an alternative orthodontic adhesive.

Key words : bond failure, amorphous calcium phosphate, transbond colour change adhesive, white spot lesions.

Lactococcosis is a fish disease of major concern in Mediterranean countries caused by Lactococcus garvieae. The most susceptible species is the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), suffering acute disease associated with elevated mortalities compared to other fish species. References reported that other salmonids are also susceptible to the disease, but no mortality outbreak has been described to date. The aim of this study was to present a mortality outbreak that occurred in brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) farmed in northwestern Italy during the summer of 2018. Fish exhibited clinical signs, such as exophthalmos, diffused hemorrhages localized in the ocular zone, hemorrhagic enteritis, and enlarged spleen. L. garvieae was isolated in all fish. Molecular and epidemiological characterization of the isolates, through Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE), confirmed the initial hypothesis of water as vehicle of infection favoring transmission between rainbow trout farmed in upstream compartments and brook trout located in downstream tanks. Moreover, several environmental conditions affected and promoted the outbreak, among them the high-water temperature, which probably induced a physiological stress in brook trout, being way above the optimal temperature for this species, increasing the susceptibility to infection.

This paper presents experimental assessment of the effect of the ratio of vertical to horizontal peak ground acceleration (RVH) on underground metro station. An atrium-style metro station embedded in artificial soil subjected to earthquake loading is examined through shaking table tests. The experimental results for three different RVH, including soil acceleration, soil-structure acceleration difference, dynamic soil normal stress (DSNS), and structural dynamic strain, are presented and the results are compared with the case of horizontal-only excitation. It is found that for an atrium-style metro station, the differences in horizontal acceleration amplitude between the structure and the adjacent soil rise with increasing RVH, which are different at different depths. The most significant differences occur at the depth of the ceiling slab. It is also observed that both the amplitude and distribution of peak DSNS have obvious differences between the left and right side walls at all levels. It is therefore concluded that the RVH has a significant influence on dynamic soil-structure interaction. It is believed that under extreme earthquake loading, such as near fault zones, RVH is a parameter of paramount importance and should be accounted for in the seismic analyses and seismic performance assessments of underground structures, especially for those with zero or near-zero buried depth, such as atrium-style metro stations.
A Novel Approach to Perform the Identification of Cross-Section Deformation Modes for Thin-Walled Structures in the Framework of a Higher Order Beam Theory
Authors: Zhang Lei , Ji Aimin , Zhu Weidong
Published: November 2019

This paper presents a novel approach to identify cross-section deformation modes for thin-walled structures by assembling preliminary deformation modes (PDM) considering their participation in free vibration modes. These PDM, defined over the cross-section through kinematic concepts, are integrated in the governing equations of a higher order model and then uncoupled in the form of generalized eigenvectors. The eigenvectors are deemed to inherit the attributes of structural behaviours and can serve as the basis to assemble PDM. Accordingly, a criterion was developed to handle the eigenvectors, pursuing (i) the clustering of PDM that participate in a same structural behaviour, (ii) the assignation of the corresponding weights that indicate their participation and (iii) the decomposition of an amplitude function when it is related to several structural behaviours. Moreover, a numbering system was proposed to hierarchically organize the deformation modes, which is conducive to a reduced higher order model. The main features of this approach are found in its ability to be performed in a more operational way and its nature to give deformation modes physical interpretation inherited from the dynamic behaviours. The versatility of the approach was validated through both numerical examples and comparisons with other theories.
Feature Interaction in Terms of Prediction Performance
Authors: Oh Sejong
Published: November 2019

There has been considerable development in machine learning in recent years with some remarkable successes. Although there are many high-performance methods, the interpretation of learning models remains challenging. Understanding the underlying theory behind the specific prediction of various models is difficult. Various studies have attempted to explain the working principle behind learning models using techniques like feature importance, partial dependency, feature interaction, and the Shapley value. This study introduces a new feature interaction measure. While recent studies have measured feature interaction using partial dependency, this study redefines feature interaction in terms of prediction performance. The proposed measure is easy to interpret, faster than partial dependency-based measures, and useful to explain feature interaction, which affects prediction performance in both regression and classification models.
