Mastitis and/or plugged ducts? How to differentiate, help and treat?
Authors: Zakharova I. N. , Kuchina A. E. , Berezhnaya I. V. , Sannikova T. N.
Published: July 2019

Mastitis is one of the most common pyoinflammatory processes that occur in the postpartum. The mastitis incidence varies from 0.5% to 33%. Due to lack of standard algorithms, approaches to diagnosis and treatment of lactational mastitis vary between pediatricians and obstetrician-gynecologists. Plugged ducts is the basic factor that predisposes a woman to plugged milk ducts, which can lead to mastitis. Unfortunately, frequently prescribed antibacterial treatment has an adverse effect on human milk microbiota and creates subtherapeutic drug concentration in milk, which leads to antibiotic resistance in infants. Effective expression of breast milk is a key method to prevent and fight mastitis and plugged ducts. Recommendations for preferred method of breast milk expression require a personalized approach, the first of which depends on the assessment of breast nipples condition. According to some reports, 80–90% of breast-feeding women develop soreness and cracked nipples, which cause delayed or missed breastfeeding. Teaching correct breast-feeding techniques can prevent the chain of these adverse events:cracked nipples – plugged duct – lactation mastitis.Ideally, a healthy mature infant with active sucking reflex, who is breastfed effectively with a good technique, may perfectly ensure a problem-free lactation period.
Diaper Dermatitis: answers to questions most frequently asked by pediatricians and parents in the light of recent global trends
Authors: Saverskaya E. N.
Published: July 2019

The review provides current data on terminology, prevalence, etiopathogenesis, clinic and differential diagnosis of diaper dermatitis (DD). Particular attention is paid to approaches to the prevention and treatment of DD. Modern emollients and moisturisers, production technologies and possibilities of superabsorbing diapers have made it possible to significantly facilitate skin care for newborns and infants, and reduce the frequency and severity of the clinical manifestations of this disease. The key to successful prevention of DD is raising parents’ awareness and teaching them how to care for their baby’s skin.

Authors: Druzhinina N. A. , Merzlyakova D. R. , Shiryaeva G. P.
Published: July 2019

Babies born through in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment are most often born preterm [1]. Most authors state that these children are more likely to have congenital malformations, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), hypoxic central nervous system damage, hyperbilirubinemia. It is known that these children are 6 times more likely to have an extremely low birth weight and intrauterine growth retardation [2]. More than 35 years have passed since the birth of the first child through the IVF treatment. During this time, the assisted reproductive technologies have improved and therewith the number of children conceived in vitro has also increased. In this regard, the issues relating to the study of the health of children conceived through IVF treatment are growing more urgent. In the Russian Federation, the share of premature babies averages 6–8% among all newborns. Children born prematurely should always be in the center of attention of pediatricians, since it is among them that the highest percentage of perinatal pathology is observed and deviations in subsequent development are detected much more often [3].

Objective of the study: to study the state of health of a premature baby in the first year of life born through IVF. Material and methods: the researchers performed a continuous, documentary, retrospective analysis of the medical history of a child treated in the Special Care Nursery of the City Children’s Clinical Hospital in Ufa, and afterwards monitored the child in the Catamnesis Unit. The child underwent clinical examination, assessment of physical development using the centile method, laboratory tests, analysis of primary medical documentation (hospital neonatal record f. 097/u, outpatient medical record f. 112/u). The premature baby was examined taking into account the adjusted age (from the calendar age to 40 weeks of gestation).

Results: the health and age of the mother are crucial in forming the health of the child. The mother had a combined pathology. The 3rd pregnancy (the 1st pregnancy ended in childbirth at 35 weeks, the child grows in a family, the 2nd pregnancy ended in spontaneous abortion) through IVF treatment developed against the threat of interruption starting from 8 weeks, combined gestosis, grade 1B placental violation, low placentation, isthmic-cervical insufficiency (ICI), antiphospholipid syndrome, which resulted in early, premature birth at 29 weeks’ gestational age. The child was born prematurely with perinatal nervous system damage, the development of acute pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn.

Findings: A clinical case determines the need for targeted observation of a premature child from a risk group, timely advanced training of a pediatrician regarding the features of management of premature babies born through the IVF treatment, taking into account the adjusted age.
Influence of adherence to medical recommendations on symptom control in children with bronchial asthma
Authors: Zastrozhina A. K. , Zakharova I. N. , Sychev D. A.
Published: July 2019

The search for factors affecting the efficacy of bronchial asthma (BA) therapy in children is an actual problem. subject of many modern scientific studies. Authors note that adherence to therapy in patients with asthma ranges from 30 to 70%. Often this index does not exceed 50%. Analysis of adherence to medical recommendations in children with asthma and the search for compliance reduction factors is one of the ways for optimizing therapy and improving the quality of life for children with asthma.

Purpose. In order to optimize bronchial asthma therapy in pediatric practice, we analysed adherence to medical recommendations and its effect on the controllability of the disease in children with asthma.

Materials and methods. The study included 94 children aged 6 to 17 years with an established diagnosis of bronchial asthma. All patients had previously been recommended basic therapy in the form of inhaled glucocorticosteroids (ICS) or their fixed combinations with long-acting beta2-adrenomimetikami (LABA). An assessment of BA control symptoms was carried out, and factors affecting adherence to medical recommendations were analyzed. The effect of decreased patient compliance on the control of asthma symptoms was evaluated.

Results. 61.7% of children with asthma have insufficient disease control. In 42.55% of patients, a survey revealed insufficient adherence to medical recommendations. 88.3% of children and their parents reported the presence of factors capable of influencing the decrease in compliance. The most frequently occurring factor in reducing adherence to therapy turned out to be insufficient patient awareness of the disease itself, the mechanisms of therapy action, and the prospect of treatment. Statistical data processing showed a statistically significant decrease in adherence to medical recommendations in the group of patients with insufficient asthma symptom control (p = 0.038).

Conclusion. Only 38.3% of children had complete asthma symptom control. The statistically significant reduction in adherence to medical recommendations in the group of children with insufficient symptom control suggests the need for educational activities for children with BA and their parents in order to increase adherence to medical recommendations, optimize the effectiveness of therapy and improve the quality of patients’ life.
Choice of therapy for coughing (spiral development)
Authors: Deliagin V. M.
Published: July 2019

Acute respiratory infections – the most common diseases in childhood, accompanied by cough. Treatment of cough is determined by the disease, the nature of sputum, the the general condition of the patient. The choice can be considered justified, depending on these conditions, herbal preparations or preparations of allo-medicine, their combination. In respiratory infections of the upper respiratory tract, it is possible to use eucaball, the active components of which are thyme and plantain. For infections of the lower respiratory tract with a viscous difficult-to-expelled sputum, Espa-nac (acetylcysteine) is indicated.
Assessing lead-contaminated drinking water in a large academic institution: a case study
Authors: Miller-Schulze Justin P. , Ishikawa Catherine , Foran Jeffery A.
Published: July 2019

Drinking water is an important source of lead exposure, and definitively characterizing the sources of lead in drinking water, particularly in large institutional settings, can be time-consuming and costly. This study examined lead concentrations in drinking water at a large university, focusing on variability in first-draw samples and variability with dispensed volume. Over 350 sources were sampled twice by independent groups, and while 78% of these samples were within 2.5 μg/L, almost 10% differed by >10 μg/L. In both sampling events, approximately 50% of sources had lead concentrations >1 μg/L, 6% were >15 μg/L, and 30% were between 1 and 15 μg/L. The highest lead concentration detected was 400 μg/L, with five sources >100 μg/L. Nine sources were sampled more intensively and six had first-draw sample ranges >5 μg/L. Lead concentration versus dispensed volume profiles indicated that while most sources had decreasing lead concentrations after the first draw, others had maximum lead concentrations at higher dispensed volumes. The variability observed suggests that assessments using only one or two samples per source may not identify all sources with elevated lead concentrations, and management strategies should account for this possibility.

Published: July 2019

This study aimed to detect the presence of Acanthamoeba spp. in different water resources of Zahedan, southeast of Iran, and also systematically reviewed all publications regarding Acanthamoeba in Iran (2005–2018). Fifty water samples were collected from different water resources in Zahedan. The positive samples were identified morphologically and subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using fragments of 18S rRNA. In the systematic review, data collection using particular terms was carried out using the following electronic databases including Science Direct, ISI Web of Science, MEDLINE, EBSCO, Scopus, and Google Scholar. A total of 17 (34%) samples were positive for Acanthamoeba spp., and nucleotide sequencing indicated that 15 samples (88.23%) belonged to the T4 genotype and the rest belonged to the T5 genotype. A total of 39 studies reported genotyping of Acanthamoeba spp. from various geographical areas of Iran and revealed that T4 (35 studies), T5 (19 studies), T3 (11 studies), T11 (8 studies), and T2 (6 studies) genotypes were the most prevalent in Iran. The T4 genotype of Acanthamoeba is a prevalent free-living amoeba and widely distributed not only in Zahedan but also in other provinces of Iran. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that A. castellanii and A. griffini predominantly colocalize with the T4 genotype.
Rainwater catchments in rural Alaska have the potential to produce high-quality water and high quantities of water for household use
Authors: Mattos Kaitlin , King Elizabeth , Lucas Cara , Snyder Elizabeth Hodges , Dotson Aaron , Linden Karl
Published: July 2019

Rainwater collection is a common source of household water in developed and developing communities where treated on-site water is not available. Although rainwater catchment has been practiced for generations in rural Alaska communities, there are little data available on the quality and quantity of rainwater resources. Forty-eight rainwater samples were collected from nine communities in Alaska over 2 years. Samples were tested for physical water quality parameters, metals, and bacteria. Characteristics of household catchments were recorded. Rainwater quantity in two communities was evaluated. Overall, high-quality water was observed in rain catchments, with average total organic carbon (TOC) and turbidity being lower than or equal to those values in other published rainwater studies. pH was consistently low. Over 80% of samples were below the United States limits for metals and met international microbiological water quality standards. However, variation was observed between households, communities, indoor/outdoor bacteria samples, covered/uncovered storage containers, and over time. The quantity of rainwater available for catchment could supply 17–40% of annual household water and is projected to increase in future decades according to Alaska climate models. Best practices are recommended for rural Alaska communities to maintain the naturally high quality of rainwater and take advantage of large quantities of rainwater available on-site.

Authors: Dziobek Konrad , Opławski Marcin , Grabarek Beniamin Oskar , Zmarzły Nikola , Tomala Barbara , Halski Tomasz , Leśniak Ewa , Januszyk Krzysztof , Brus Ryszard , Kiełbasiński Robert , Boroń Dariusz
Published: July 2019

Background:

VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 are important proteins involved
in the induction and development of a new blood vessel network through which the tumor is properly
nourished and oxygenated.

Objective:

The aim of the study was to evaluate changes in VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGFR-1 and
VEGFR-2 expression in endometrial cancer depending on its grade and to determine the VEGFR-1 to
VEGFR-2 concentration ratio.

Methods:

The study group consisted of 45 patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer (G1, 17; G2,
15; G3, 13). The control group included 15 patients. VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-R1, VEGFR-2 expression
was assessed using the immunohistochemical method. Statistical analysis was carried out using
the Statistica 12 PL program (StatSoft, Cracow, Poland). It included the one-way ANOVA and Tukey's
post-hoc test (p<0.05).

Results:

Statistically significant differences in the level of VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-R1, VEGFR-2
were observed between the majority of analyzed groups (except for VEGF-B; G3 vs. G1, p=0.997700).
The expression pattern of VEGF-A, VEGF-R1, VEGFR-2 was as follows: G3>G2>G1>C; VEGF-B:
G2> G3> G1>C. A lower concentration of VEGFR-1 than VEGFR-2 was found regardless of the cancer
grade.

Conclusion:

VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-R1, VEGFR-2 are key proteins involved in tumor angiogenesis.
The analysis of the entire panel of proteins participating in a given process is an important element
of modern diagnostics. The concentration ratio of VEGFR-1 to VEGFR-2 appears to be a determining
factor in the patients' survival prognosis.

Влияние функционализации на электропроводность и шумовые характеристики массивов многостенных углеродных нанотрубок
Authors: Сергеев В.А. , Климов Е.С. , Фролов И.В.
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe electrophysical and noise characteristics of arrays of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized in various ways were studied. It is demonstrated that the as-prepared and annealed MWCNT arrays have semiconductor-type resistivities and temperature dependences of resistivity, while the arrays of annealed MWCNTs functionalized with acids have metallic properties. Low-frequency 1/ f noise in the 0.2‒20 kHz range was observed for all MWCNT arrays. Simple thermal annealing raised the noise level severalfold and annealing with acid treatment resulted in noise reduction and a change in the index of power in its current dependence. The normal amplitude distribution of noise spikes transformed to a lognormal one as the density of as-prepared MWCNT arrays increased. The duration distribution of these spikes became narrower at higher densities.

Published: July 2019

Background

New electronic cohort (e-Cohort) study designs provide resource-effective methods for collecting participant data. It is unclear if implementing an e-Cohort study without direct, in-person participant contact can achieve successful participation rates.

Objective

The objective of this study was to compare 2 distinct enrollment methods for setting up mobile health (mHealth) devices and to assess the ongoing adherence to device use in an e-Cohort pilot study.

Methods

We coenrolled participants from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) into the FHS–Health eHeart (HeH) pilot study, a digital cohort with infrastructure for collecting mHealth data. FHS participants who had an email address and smartphone were randomized to our FHS-HeH pilot study into 1 of 2 study arms: remote versus on-site support. We oversampled older adults (age ≥65 years), with a target of enrolling 20% of our sample as older adults. In the remote arm, participants received an email containing a link to enrollment website and, upon enrollment, were sent 4 smartphone-connectable sensor devices. Participants in the on-site arm were invited to visit an in-person FHS facility and were provided in-person support for enrollment and connecting the devices. Device data were tracked for at least 5 months.

Results

Compared with the individuals who declined, individuals who consented to our pilot study (on-site, n=101; remote, n=93) were more likely to be women, highly educated, and younger. In the on-site arm, the connection and initial use of devices was ≥20% higher than the remote arm (mean percent difference was 25% [95% CI 17-35] for activity monitor, 22% [95% CI 12-32] for blood pressure cuff, 20% [95% CI 10-30] for scale, and 43% [95% CI 30-55] for electrocardiogram), with device connection rates in the on-site arm of 99%, 95%, 95%, and 84%. Once connected, continued device use over the 5-month study period was similar between the study arms.

Conclusions

Our pilot study demonstrated that the deployment of mobile devices among middle-aged and older adults in the context of an on-site clinic visit was associated with higher initial rates of device use as compared with offering only remote support. Once connected, the device use was similar in both groups.
Barriers and Enablers Affecting Successful Implementation of the Electronic Health Service Sisom: Multicenter Study of Child Participation in Pediatric Care
Authors: Svedberg Petra , Arvidsson Susann , Larsson Ingrid , Carlsson Ing-Marie , Nygren Jens M
Published: July 2019

Background

Children’s participation in health care is one of the most important components in the management of their disease. Electronic health (eHealth) services that are adapted to the needs of children have the potential for restructuring how children and professionals work together. Therefore, a digital interactive assessment and communication tool, Sisom, was developed to give children aged between 6 and 12 years a voice in their own health care. However, the implementation of eHealth services such as Sisom in daily practice in pediatric health care is rarely investigated.

Objective

The aim of this study was to explore the process of implementing Sisom for children in pediatric care in Sweden. More specifically, the study aimed to (1) evaluate whether the implementation strategy was conducted as planned, (2) understand the barriers and facilitators of the implementation strategy in pediatric care settings, (3) gain insight into how professionals work with the specific intervention, and (4) gain insight into the usefulness and effects of the intervention from the professionals’ perspectives.

Methods

A process evaluation design was used to study the implementation of Sisom at 4 pediatric care centers in Sweden. An extensive amount of qualitative and quantitative data was collected before, during, and after the intervention through self-report checklists, memos, and interviews with professionals. In total, 46 children, aged between 6 and 13 years, participated. The children used Sisom on two occasions during 6 months. When they used Sisom, a printed report formed the basis for a forthcoming dialogue between professionals, children, and their parents.

Results

To our knowledge, this is the first implementation study of an eHealth communication tool aimed at strengthening children’s participation in pediatric health care. Key factors for successful implementation were alignment of the solution with the values and goals of the organization, health care professionals’ beliefs in the usefulness and usability of the solution, and health care professionals’ willingness to change their professional roles guided by the solution.

Conclusions

The results from the study show that it is possible to restructure health care delivery toward a child-centered approach, if there is a willingness and preparedness in the organization to implement an eHealth solution with the aim of restructuring the way of working with children’s participation.

UNSTRUCTURED

The True Colours remote mood monitoring system was developed over a decade ago by researchers, psychiatrists, and software engineers at the University of Oxford to allow patients to report on a range of symptoms via text messages, Web interfaces, or mobile phone apps. The system has evolved to encompass a wide range of measures, including psychiatric symptoms, quality of life, and medication. Patients are prompted to provide data according to an agreed personal schedule: weekly, daily, or at specific times during the day. The system has been applied across a number of different populations, for the reporting of mood, anxiety, substance use, eating and personality disorders, psychosis, self-harm, and inflammatory bowel disease, and it has shown good compliance. Over the past decade, there have been over 36,000 registered True Colours patients and participants in the United Kingdom, with more than 20 deployments of the system supporting clinical service and research delivery. The system has been adopted for routine clinical care in mental health services, supporting more than 3000 adult patients in secondary care, and 27,263 adolescent patients are currently registered within Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The system has also proven to be an invaluable scientific resource as a platform for research into mood instability and as an electronic outcome measure in randomized controlled trials. This paper aimed to report on the existing applications of the system, setting out lessons learned, and to discuss the implications for tailored symptom monitoring, as well as the barriers to implementation at a larger scale.

Published: July 2019

Este texto busca ampliar as percepções sobre os livros didáticos para os anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental que compõem as quatro coleções utilizadas pelo município de Caetité no período 2010/2018. Para tal empreendimento recorreu-se a uma metodologia analítica e à instrumentos estatísticos, com o intuito de mensurar disparidades e incoerências em termos de representação fenotípica dos indivíduos, do espaço dedicado à abordagem nos conteúdos da história e cultura dos povos africanos e seus descendentes e ainda traçar o perfil dos autores cujos textos estão inseridos nestas coleções. A pesquisa realizada sugere a prevalência de um racismo sutil (Nunes, 2010) e geográfico (Raffestin, 1993), (Malachias, 2006), que, sorrateiramente, mina a efetiva presença de negros tanto no corpo dos livros didáticos como em seu processo de produção.

O trabalho, em sua íntegra, foi realizado tendo como entrevistado um jovem que se autodenomina gay e negro, oriundo do Rio de Janeiro, de classe social baixa, estudante de uma escola pública do ensino médio regular, situada em uma periferia de um município localizado no interior da Bahia. Na tessitura que segue, enfatizamos os marcadores sociais de gênero/sexualidade e raça/etnia. Esses marcadores apresentaram-se como desconforto para o sujeito entrevistado, visto que não atendem às caracterizações e práticas determinadas pela heteronormatividade. Assim, constatamos que há um olhar hierarquizante e verticalizado envolvendo identidades outras assim como possibilidades de vivências afetivas e sexuais diferentes daquelas determinadas pelas normas sociais.

The relationship between tax avoidance, company characteristics and corporate governance: Evidence from Greece
Authors: Chytis Evangelos , Tasios Stergios , Georgopoulos Ioannis , Hortis Zois
Published: July 2019

The purpose of this paper is to research a possible relationship between corporate tax avoidance with corporate governance characteristics such as board independence, the type of auditing company and the concentration of ownership, and a range of selected financial indicators such as return on capital employed, liquidity, leverage, and company size. For this reason, the analysis was based on quantitative and qualitative data derived from the annual financial reports from a sample of 56 companies listed on the Athens Stock Exchange covering the period 2011 to 2015. As a measure of tax avoidance, the cash effective tax rate was used, while a linear regression model using the random effect method was estimated in order to examine the factors that affect it. The results of the study show that the cash effective tax rate has a statistically significant positive relationship with company size and a significant negative relationship with return on capital employed. All in all, the research shows that Greek large-sized companies show less tax avoidance, whereas in companies with a high return on capital employed the extent of tax avoidance is higher. There was no statistically significant impact of corporate governance variables on tax avoidance.

the growth, yield and fruit quality of the plum cultivar 'Cacanska Rana'.
Research was conducted in the area of the Belgrade Danube basin for the
six-year period (2013-2018). In comparison to control, all three clonal
rootstocks have shown a significant effect on the decrease of vigor
expressed as a trunk cross-sectional area. The lowest vigor was found in
trees on the 'Pixy' rootstock, then on 'Fereley' and 'St. Julien A'
rootstocks. Regarding the rootstocks 'Fereley' and 'St. Julien A',
significantly higher fruit set and yields were achieved in comparison to
control. Clonal rootstocks induced an increase in the yield per hectare
ranging from 72% to 93% compared to Myrobalan. The highest yield efficiency
was found in the trees on the 'Fereley' rootstock, followed by the yields
observed in the trees on the 'Pixy' and 'St. Julien A' rootstocks.
Significantly higher fruit weight compared to control was obtained in the
trees on the 'Fereley' rootstock. Rootstocks did not show any significant
effect on the soluble solids and total acid contents of the fruit. Based on
the results obtained, it can be concluded that all three clonal rootstocks
showed better results than Myrobalan, and can be recommended for
establishing intensive plum plantations with higher planting density. The
best results in terms of yield and fruit quality were obtained with the
'Fereley' rootstock.
Sol-Jel Yöntemiyle Üretilen Alümina Alkojelin Fizikokimyasal ve Yapısal Özellikleri Üzerine Kurutma Türünün Etkisi
Authors: CANTÜRK ÖZ Dilek , KAYA Nihan
Published: July 2019

Üstün termal ve mekanik
özellikleri sebebiyle başta uzay teknolojisi olmak üzere pek çok alanda
kullanılmakta olan alkojeller, düşük yoğunluğa ve yüksek gözenekliliğe sahip
süper yalıtkan ve çevre dostu malzemeler olarak bilinmektedir.  Genel olarak inorganik tuzlar ya da metal
alkoksitlerin hidrolizi ve kondenzasyonu olarak bilinen sol-jel tekniği
kullanılarak, üç aşamada üretilmektedirler. Son aşama hazırlanan ıslak jellerin
kurutulması olup,  ıslak jelin
gözenekliliği ve jel ağının korunması için en uygun kurutma tekniğinin
seçilmesi büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, sol-jel yöntemiyle
sentezlenen alümina alkojellerden süperkritik şartlarda, atmosfer basıncında ve
dondurarak olmak üzere üç farklı kurutma koşullarında elde edilen gözenekli
malzemelerin fizikokimyasal ve yapısal özellikleri XRD, TGA/DSC, FT-IR ve BET
analizleri ile karakterize edilmiştir. Farklı kurutma koşullarında aerojel,
kriyojel ve ambijel ismini alan amorf yapıya sahip bu jellerin fizikokimyasal
özellikleri ve ısısal davranışlarındaki değişimler dikkate alındığında, ıslak
jellerin kurutulmasında en uygun kurutma tekniğinin ön işlem yapılmadan dondurarak
kurutma olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Acercamiento psicológico de Franz Kafka a través de su vida y obra
Authors: De la Fuente Rocha Eduardo
Published: July 2019

Un ambiente de ausencias, muertes y desatenciones fueron el crisol donde Kafka gestó una desazón psíquica interna constante, que oscilaba entre su miedo a morir y su rechazo a vivir, en un ambiente que percibía limitante, impositivo, autoritario y despótico, carente de orientación y cariño. Tal percepción de su medio favoreció en el escritor sentimientos de minusvalía y dependencia, sintiéndose unas veces incapaz y despreciable y otras desatento y culpable, lo que lo llevó a aislarse y a autolimitarse, a sentirse invalidado y a evitar el cumplimiento de compromisos y responsabilidades. Sin embargo, a pesar de todo, logró finalmente la aceptación de sí mismo al conciliar las grandes diferencias que habitaban en su mente. Kafka con su obra y su vida invita al lector a lograr un acuerdo psíquico personal para la convivencia diaria con uno mismo.
NGAL – Urinary Biomarker With Pathologic Significance in Nephrology Practice
Authors: Stăncescu Mădălina-Gabriela , Penescu Mircea
Published: July 2019

Renal pathology is a pluralism of acute or chronic conditions in which the main victim is the nephron. Regardless of the nature of the injury, the primary lesion will always lead - in absence of efficient treatment - to end-stage kidney disease and renal replacement therapy. Although we are in the 21st century and amazing advances have been recorded in the medical field, the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease is performed - most frequently - based on the estimation of the glomerular filtration rate, based on serum creatinine. Unfortunately the serum creatinine level increases only when > 50% of the nephrons are already irremediably destroyed. In the last 20 years, an intensive research is performed in order to discover new plasma or urinary biomarkers for an earlier diagnosis of the renal pathology. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has a central place in this research, and its diagnostic and prognostic utility is proven particularly in acute kidney injury, but also in glomerulonephrites, diabetic nephropathy, and chronic kidney disease.
Auxospore wall structure and postsexual valve morphology in Rhabdonema minutum Kützing
Authors: Kaczmarska Irena , Ehrman James M.
Published: July 2019

Several decades ago, three members of the araphid pennate genus Rhabdonema (R. adriaticum, R. arcuatum, R. minutum) were the first araphid diatoms studied using cultures and electron microscopical methods to determine auxospore structure and development. Of these, R. minutum was the least documented at that time. None have been reinvestigated until now. Here we present the structural elements of the mature auxospore and the initial and postsexual valve characteristics of R. minutum. Although in general the auxospore wall of this diatom is similar to that of the two other species examined (to the extent that they were documented), there are intriguing differences. Most unanticipated is the structure of the primary band of the longitudinal perizonium, which shows remarkable similarities to the raphid pennate diatom valve. The evolutionary implications of such a similarity are considered.
Scham und Würde - Eine thematische Untersuchung zu Nietzsches "Jenseits von Gut und Böse"
Authors: Häubi Florian
Published: July 2019

Für Nietzsche sind die metaphysischen Orientierungspunkte des menschlichen Selbstbewusstseins unter Generalverdacht geraten, ebenso wie die für ewig gehaltenen Werte, aus denen der Mensch den Glauben an seine Würde bezog. Angesichts der Unwürdigkeit des Menschen erhebt die Selbstverkleinerung der Moderne die Scham zum bestimmenden Grundgefühl, und das schambestimmte Bewusstsein richtet sich letztlich gegen die Moral selbst. Der damit angezeigte Immoralismus wagt einen freien Blick auf die Selbstherabsetzung des modernen Menschen und einen tapferen Ausblick auf einen möglichen Gegenentwurf zur modernen Selbstverkleinerung. Das Verhältnis des Menschen zu sich selbst neu zu bestimmen, diesen Versuch unternimmt Nietzsche anhand der Frage nach der Vornehmheit. Der Vornehme ist ohne jene Scham vor dem Menschen, zeichnet sich zugleich aber durch einen «Instinkt der Ehrfurcht» und Ehrfurcht vor sich aus.

Der Band bietet erstmalig eine umfassende Analyse der Schlüsselbegriffe Scham und Würde bei Nietzsche. So schliesst er zugleich an gegenwärtige ethische Debatten an.

Aesthetics of Tho­mas Newman’s Music to “Six Feet Under” TV Series
Authors: Tavrizyan Alexander V.
Published: July 2019

This article analyzes the aesthetics of modern Western audiovisual art by the example of the opening titles of “Six Feet Under” TV series (2001—2005). This titles sequence, as well as the series itself, were proclaimed as “cult art” and became widely influential in the US television culture. The visuals of the sequence had been created by a team of Digital Kitchen designers on the basis of music by Thomas Newman, who was a trend setter of the soundtrack genre in the 1990s—2010s. This work is of interest, being one of the most significant in modern mass culture, which allows to analyze the aesthetic trends within the postmodern audiovisual art in general. The research is based on R. Barthes’ method of analyzing objects of mass culture, in which the literal meaning of artistic ima­ges and the symbolic one (connotations, metaphors, allegories) are considered separately. T. Newman’s music is ana­lysed by using M. Chion’s view upon soundtrack as both musical work and acoustical image. The article analyzes the coherence between the music, the frame (literal) content of the video, and the connotative (symbolic) meaning of the visual images. The concept of “affect”, taken by the historians-poststructuralists G. Deleuze and F. Guattari from the aesthetic theory of Baroque art, is used to describe similar phenomena in postmodern art. Interviews, additional materials and other sour­ces that tell about the idea of the series’ creators and about its workflow expanded the source base of the study. The audiovisual composition’s analysis revealed the aesthetic techniques of artistic images’ affective (feelings-emotional) transmission, “counterpoint” of allegorical and realistic (naturalistic) images in the visuals and the music, central role of the pairs of images-antithesis (warmth/coldness, movement/static, life/death, and some others). The author concludes that the studied aesthetic model is similar, both in its content and in the form of expression, to the Baroque aesthetics in a modified postmodern form (Neo-Baroque).
