Mechanisms of pathogenesis of emerging adenoviruses
Authors: Cook James , Radke Jay
Published: January 2017

Periodic outbreaks of human adenovirus infections can cause severe illness in people with no known predisposing conditions. The reasons for this increased viral pathogenicity are uncertain. Adenoviruses are constantly undergoing mutation during circulation in the human population, but related phenotypic changes of the viruses are rarely detected because of the infrequency of such outbreaks and the limited biological studies of the emergent strains. Mutations and genetic recombinations have been identified in these new strains. However, the linkage between these genetic changes and increased pathogenicity is poorly understood. It has been observed recently that differences in virus-induced immunopathogenesis can be associated with altered expression of non-mutant viral genes associated with changes in viral modulation of the host innate immune response. Initial small animal studies indicate that these changes in viral gene expression can be associated with enhanced immunopathogenesisin vivo. Available evidence suggests the hypothesis that there is a critical threshold of expression of certain viral genes that determines both the sustainability of viral transmission in the human population and the enhancement of immunopathogenesis. Studies of this possibility will require extension of the analysis of outbreak viral strains from a sequencing-based focus to biological studies of relationships between viral gene expression and pathogenic responses. Advances in this area will require increased coordination among public health organizations, diagnostic microbiology laboratories, and research laboratories to identify, catalog, and systematically study differences between prototype and emergent viral strains that explain the increased pathogenicity that can occur during clinical outbreaks.
Seven perspectives on GPCR H/D-exchange proteomics methods
Authors: Zhang Xi
Published: January 2017

Recent research shows surging interest to visualize human G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) dynamic structures using the bottom-up H/D-exchange (HDX) proteomics technology. This opinion article clarifies critical technical nuances and logical thinking behind the GPCR HDX proteomics method, to help scientists overcome cross-discipline pitfalls, and understand and reproduce the protocol at high quality. The 2010 89% HDX structural coverage of GPCR was achieved with both structural and analytical rigor. This article emphasizes systematically considering membrane protein structure stability and compatibility with chromatography and mass spectrometry (MS) throughout the pipeline, including the effects of metal ions, zero-detergent shock, and freeze-thaws on HDX result rigor. This article proposes to view bottom-up HDX as two steps to guide choices of detergent buffers and chromatography settings: (I) protein HDX labeling in native buffers, and (II) peptide-centric analysis of HDX labels, which applies (a) bottom-up MS/MS to construct peptide matrix and (b) HDX MS to locate and quantify H/D labels. The detergent-low-TCEP digestion method demystified the challenge of HDX-grade GPCR digestion. GPCR HDX proteomics is a structural approach, thus its choice of experimental conditions should let structure lead and digestion follow, not the opposite.

We present results of the analysis of an unusually long narrow-band emission in the Pc1 range with increasing carrier frequency. The event was observed against the background of the main phase of a strong magnetic storm caused by arrival of a high-speed solar wind stream with a shock wave in the stream head and a long interval of negative vertical component of the interplanetary magnetic field. Emission of approximately 9-hour duration had a local character, appearing only at three stations located in the range of geographical longitude λ=100–130 E and magnetic shells L=2.2–3.4. The signal carrier frequency grew in a stepped mode from 0.5 to 3.5 Hz. We propose an emission interpretation based on the standard model of the generation of ion cyclotron waves in the magnetosphere due to the resonant wave-particle interaction with ion fluxes of moderate energies. We suppose that a continuous shift of the generation region, located in the outer area of the plasmasphere, to smaller L-shell is able to explain both the phenomenon locality and the range of the frequency increase. A narrow emission frequency band is associated with the formation of nose-like structures in the energy spectrum of the ion fluxes penetrating from the geomagnetic tail into magnetosphere. We offer a possible speculative scenario of the processes leading to the generation of the observed emission. The scenario contains specific values of the generation region position, plasma density, magnetic field, and resonant proton energies. We discuss morphological differences of the emissions considered from known types of geomagnetic pulsations, and reasons for the occurrence of this unusual event.

Published: January 2017

Seasonal variations in relative values of the main gas components of the thermosphere [O]/[N2] and [O2]/[O] were received at the station Norilsk during the period 2003–2013. Estimates were made using a technique the authors developed and data from the Norilsk digisonde (69° N, 88° E) for heights below the ionospheric layer F1 maximum under quiet and disturbed geomagnetic conditions in different seasons. We established that the [O2]/[O] ratio in the quiet and disturbed geomagnetic conditions in all seasons by the end of 2013 decreased from 10 to 20 % relative to the values of 2003. The [O]/[N2] ratio for the same conditions increased to 17 %.

It is shown that the implementation of management functions is associated with the effective organizational communication at all levels. Communication is an important factor in the integration of state and municipal management. It is also noted that coordination activities aimed at the coordination of actions to achieve the goals of state and municipal management system development, provides communications, which promote the connection of all elements of the management system and their interaction through a properly organized information transfer.
The Practice of Science Diplomacy in the Cultural and Creative Dimensions: “Science for Diplomacy” in Italy and Russia
Authors: Силантьева  , Silanteva Margarita
Published: January 2017

The development of science as a social institution, as well as its interaction with diplomacy, now spawned a number of “hybrid” forms of promoting the unification of the capacity of each of these areas to address specific social and political problems of contemporary culture. Against the background clotting own potential natural science research programs in a number of countries who spoke first among the leaders of the world of science (especially physics) especially interesting are dynamics of the changing role of the scientist in the paradigm of post-nonclassical science. Italy from this point of view is a unique platform where the tradition of classical education, the political process and the modern European strategy received a particular orientation towards the sphere of application of this bias potential in the communications area. And, above all, scientific communication (including, in particular, diplomatic communications). Using biographical method based on the publicly available reference information helps to change perspectives in the analysis of the formation of philosophical and cultural foundations of such type of science diplomacy as “diplomacy of scientists”. The fate of prominent scientists (such as Bruno Pontecorvo) and less well-known figures in science, has been included in the activities of international organizations, there are no less revealing than the fate of those who did not rise to the top of science, becoming invisible “cog” in the wheel of history. Science diplomacy thus can be considered at least in two aspects. On the one hand, as “science for diplomacy” — in terms of general cultural potential of science education and scientific activity itself, deducing scientists to the level of diplomatic work. On the other — as a public diplomacy in the framework of “cultural diplomacy” does not lead to a certain status and rank, but enables to solve issues within the scientific community, is an important group communicator in international relations. The questions are appropriate to consider in the light of the idea of the creative potential of science education, the prospects of its impact on the productivity of thinking in the application of social and cultural practices based, inter alia, on the communicative competence. But even more important is the approach exposing the fundamental importance of education of any type for the formation of a mature personality, capable to realize itself in the solution of various problems with weighty social significance.
La desigualdad invisible: el uso cotidiano de los espacios públicos en la Lima del siglo XXI
Authors: Vega Centeno Sara Lafosse Pablo
Published: January 2017

El proceso de transformación que experimenta Lima en la actual era de la globalización ha supuesto la agudización de prácticas de segregación y/o exclusión en la forma de usar los espacios públicos de la ciudad aunque, paradójicamente, éste no parece ser un problema que preocupe a los limeños. El objetivo de este artículo es sustentar que la vida cotidiana en los espacios públicos expresa las grandes desigualdades sociales que existen en Lima, las cuales ofrecen múltiples facetas en conflicto, como la del conductor de vehículo motorizado con el habitante-transeúnte o la del habitante-residente con el habitante-transeúnte, las que se suelen superponer a desigualdades más visibles como el nivel de ingreso o el lugar de residencia.
Reducing physical violence and developing a safety culture across wards in East London
Authors: Taylor-Watt Jen , Cruickshank Andy , Innes James , Brome Brian , Shah Amar
Published: January 2017

Violence is the biggest cause of reported safety incidents at East London NHS Foundation Trust. Evidence suggests the utility of structured risk assessment, discussion of violence in ward community meetings and the use of restraint and seclusion in psychiatric wards. The Tower Hamlets Violence Reduction Collaborative brought together six wards with the aim of reducing violence by 40% by the end of 2015. A collaborative learning system was used to test a bundle of four interventions on the four acute admissions wards and two psychiatric intensive care units. A 40% reduction in physical violence was seen across the six wards. Physical violence reduced from 12.1 incidents per 1000 occupied bed days in 2014 to 7.2 in 2015. Across the four general acute admissions wards there was a 57% reduction in physical violence. Key elements of the system that have been addressed through this work have been developing a more predictive approach, and developing a more open and shared experience of violence and aggression on the wards.
International Trade, WTO and Economic Development
Authors: Kalim Siddiqui
Published: January 2017

This article examines the existing literature on trade liberalisation and its effect on the economies of developing countries. It will also briefly examine the theory of comparative advantage which is seen as justification for global trade liberalisation under the auspices of the World Trade Organization. This process is also associated with greater openness, economic interdependence and deepening economic integration with the world economy. The study is important because once again the international institutions strongly advocate trade and financial liberalisation in developing countries. The proponents of trade liberalisation argue that multilateral trade negotiations would achieve these goals, and poor countries particularly would benefit from it. However, such policies may increase vulnerability and make developing countries further hostages of international finance capital. Adoption of open market policies in agriculture would also mean the abandoning of self-reliance and food sovereignty, which may have wider consequences in terms of food shortages, food prices and rural employment.
The Changing Geography of Debt and IMF's Involvement: From Global to European South
Authors: Theofanis Papageorgiou  , Iason Rousopoulos  , Sotiris Koskoletos
Published: January 2017

The risk reassessment process having taken place after the outburst of the crisis of 2008 highlights the role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as a last resort lender. In this article, we try to evaluate the fiscal and political presuppositions of the IMF's recent history toward crediting countries, focusing particularly in the case of Greece. We try to unravel the specific neoliberal dogma suppressing the Greek people, and the practices through which it succeeds in this direction, concluding that debt accumulation is acting rather as a disciplinary force than as a request for repayment. Furthermore, we focus on the issues that come up along with debt relief process, and the policy shifts in the IMF's history, arguing that different strategies of capital are unfolding: a moderate New Keynesianism based on the capitalist “utopia” of the unburdened state, and another offensive neoliberalism based on an antagonistic relationship between the creditor and the debtor with reference to “biopolitics.”
Globalization, Employment and Agriculture: A Review of the Eleventh Forum of the World Association for Political Economy
Authors: Xiaoqin Ding  , Yubo Qian  , Translated by Shan Tong
Published: January 2017

Economic globalization has greatly affected the economy, society and other aspects of individual countries and the world as a whole. As is well known, agriculture is the important foundation of the global economy, and most developing countries have a large rural population where agriculture is a significant part of the economy. Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood and full employment is difficult to achieve. Therefore, the study of how economic globalization affects agriculture and employment, and how developing countries and socialist countries should respond rationally and effectively, is worthy of attention.

This study aims to explore factors influencing outpatient client satisfaction level with quality of service to recommend friends and family to the three intermediate public health hospitals in Namibia. Reviewing the literature, 14 variables were identified. The items were then reduced using exploratory factor analysis which is evaluated using Principal Axis Factoring with Direct Oblimin rotation. Using exploratory factor analysis, variables were categorized into 8 factors. This model, in the order of effect, identified Total Time Spent in the outpatient department before leaving (in minutes) is the most important predictor of ES (expected satisfaction) values of (0.499), Sum of Medication Communication (0.105), Contact Time with Doctors/Nurses (in minutes) (0.099), Sum of Nurse Communication (0.089), Sum of Doctor Communication (0.049), First Time Visit to this Outpatient Department (0.031), Age groups (0.030) and Facility Name (0.011) is the least important predictor for client to recommend their friends and family to the three intermediate public health care in Namibia. This implies that Total Time Spent in the outpatient department before leaving (in minutes) is the most important predictor of ES by outpatient clients on quality of service perceptions and has the largest impact of recommending friends and family to receive services at the three intermediate public hospitals.
L’esempio europeo e le idee pedagogiche degli scrittori bulgari durante il Risorgimento nazionale (XVIII – prima metà del XIX secolo)
Authors: Terziyska-Stefanova Milka Nikolova
Published: January 2017

This article aims to explore and analyze the essence and nature of the pedagogical thought in Bulgaria during the Bulgarian National Revival as a basis for educational reform. Objectivity requires pedagogical ideas to be considered in the context of overall socio-political and cultural life in the country on the one hand, and amid universal spiritual revival in Europe on the other. These tasks could be undertaken by a major international study, which is why we consider some of the questions highlighting this topic – the positive example of Europe on educational thought in the country presented by Bulgarian writers in the 18th century through the first half of the 19th century.The achievements of free European nations developing in all spheres of life were perceived by Bulgarian Renaissance writers as an incentive to overcome the age-old material and spiritual backwardness of the Bulgarians by the power of knowledge. In their activity they proceeded from a clearly motivated purpose: to contribute by educating citizens about spiritual awakening and rise of the Bulgarian nation. According to them, mass secular education in their native language was the road that would take the Bulgarians from their present slavery and provide them with material and spiritual well-being, like in other European nations.The need for secular books and secular schools to be taught in the mother tongue was one of the main ideas of Bulgarian writers during the Renaissance. Their mouthpieces were mainly clergymen, who perceived their role as national leaders and educators. Alongside the emerging secular intelligentsia, they actively contributed to the spiritual and cultural advancement of the Bulgarian nation and its integration into European civilization.An enlightened, free and independent Bulgaria was the ideal of our Renaissance leaders P. Hilendarski, G. S. Rakovski and Hr. Botev. While the revolutionary figures from the late 19th century thought that this could be achieved through armed struggle, the writers from the 18th and early 19th centuries were convinced that the power of knowledge would transform the Bulgarian nation, which would equal or surpass other Balkan, Slavic and European nations in terms of education and incorporate them. The Bulgarian writers of the 18th and early 19th centuries vocalised the general aspiration for national awakening through education. Through their literary and educational activities, the Bulgarian National Revival was rooted in and approved a new educational ideal, subject to the struggle for national self-determination.
«Strong as Death is Love»: Eros and Education at the End of Time
Authors: Rocha Sam D , Burton Adi
Published: January 2017

This essay is an extended reflection on the relationship between death and love expressed in a fragment from Song of Songs 8:6: «Strong as death is love». The passage will be analyzed through a Jewish, Orthodox, and Catholic exegesis and literary reflection. In particular, the essay describes the role of a particular form of love (eros) within a particular form of education (education at the end of time). While eros has frequently been ignored or resigned to a purely sexualized role, we will look closely at Augustine’s eulogy of his mother, Monica, in the Confessions, suggesting that perhaps the most visceral expression of eros is to be found in the phenomenology of death. We will also draw on the phenomenological manifestation of death by looking to the rich description of dying provided by Leo Tolstoy in his novella, The Death of Ivan Ilych.Together these investigations of eros and education yield a «curriculum of death», which draws on the re-conceptualist notion of curriculum. Our claim is that this curriculum of death offers a sense of urgency and seriousness found lacking in schools today, where death abounds, but is rarely if ever addressed in a humanistic way. This final methodological emphasis on the humanities elucidates more directly and critically the role of research for a curriculum of death within the dominance of social science in the field of education.

Published: January 2017

This paper proposes a group runs (GR) double sampling (DS) np chart to detect increases in the fraction of non-conforming units. It combines the charting statistics of the DS np chart and an extended version of the CRL chart. The performance of the proposed GR DS np chart is evaluated and compared with other attribute charts, namely, the np, GR np, DS np, synthetic DS np, variable sample size (VSS) np, exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) np, and cumulative sum (CUSUM) np charts, in terms of the average run length (ARL) criterion. The ARL result showed that the optimal GR DS np chart generally performs better than the optimal version of the charts under comparison, for detecting increases in the fraction of non-conforming units, for most shift sizes. The optimal charting parameters that simplify the implementation of the GR DS np chart are provided. The implementation of the proposed chart is illustrated with an example. Based on the significant improvement in the ARL performance, the GR DS np chart is a viable substitute of existing np-type charts for the detection of increases in the fraction of non-conforming units.

Abstract:

While educating non-medical personnel on acute coronary syndrome we often emphasize the importance of early recognition and urgent transfer to acute cardiac center of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Aside from typical symptoms of chest tightness and pain radiating to shoulder, arm and jaw, angina often presents with atypical, non-cardiac complaints. These symptoms, often suggesting gastrointestinal problems, can sometimes mislead even the most experienced physicians. We would like to present the case of an 83-year-old woman with several decades long history of ischaemic heart disease, who recently developed a new anginal symptom: lound, uncontrollable belching. Within the past eight months she was admitted four times with complaints of belching followed by chest pain. Even though initially it was thought as an incidental finding, in all four cases she had proven coronary occlusion requiring cardiac intervention. Orv. Hetil., 2017, 158(5), 183–186.
A Hashimoto-thyreoiditisben kialakuló papillaris pajzsmirigy-carcinoma klinikopatológiai jellegzetességei

Published: January 2017

Abstract:

Introduction and aim: Former studies suggest the frequent coexistence of Hashimoto’s thyreoditis with papillary thyroid cancer, frequently featured by multifocal carcinogenesis but lower clinical stages compared to thyroid cancers lacking thyroiditis. We examined the clinico-pathological correlations between Hashimoto’s thyroditis and papillary thyroid cancer in our region in the North-Eastern part of Hungary. Patients and method: We included a total of 230 patients with papillary thyroid cancer who underwent thyroid surgery at the Surgical Department of the University of Debrecen. Patients’ sex, age, multifocality of thyroid cancer and clinical stage were evaluated. Results: Cases included 40 patients (17.4%) with (4 male, 36 female) and 190 (82.6%) patients without HT (44 male, 146 female). Hashimoto’s thyroiditis related thyroid cancer was almost exclusively associated with the papillary histological type. Multifocality of papillary cancer was significantly more frequent with coexisting Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (16/40; 40.0%) compared to cases uninvolved (45/190; 23.7%; p = 0.034). In contrast, lymph node metastasis was significantly less frequent among patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (4 pN1 [36.4%]; 7 pN0 [63.6%]) then without it (34 pN1 [82.9%]; 7 pN0 [17.1%]; p = 0.002). Conclusion: Higher frequency and multifocality of papillary thyroid cancer might be the consequence of preexisting Hashimoto’s thyroiditis to be considered as a preneoplastic stimulus supporting carcinogenesis, though the exact pathomechanism of this correlation is not clear yet.

Subjects of research were three mothers who have low levels on their emotional functions. Data were analyzed by analysis of visual inspection to see the trajectory of the line graph and statistical analysis used the overlap data to test the effectiveness of the intervention. The result showed the occurrence of significant difference in scores between baseline phase and the intervention with increasing maternal emotional function scores level. These findings suggested that home-start parenting programs effective in improving the quality of maternal emotional function. Hence the home-start parenting programs can be used as a model of intervention in early childhood parenting.

Green Township Index: Malaysia’s sustainable township rating tool
Authors: Siew Renard Yung Jhien
Published: January 2017

Relatively few tools have explored beyond the boundaries of buildings to consider also the sustainability of a township or its surrounding communities. This paper focuses on introducing the Green Township Index (GTI), developed by a leading Malaysian property development company. GTI is an amalgamation of a few other frameworks, such as the Global Reporting Initiative, Green Building Index, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, Green Mark and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design. GTI consists of a total of 86 indicators across three main dimensions: people, planet and prosperity. Based on the percentage scores obtained from the assessment of townships, three award levels are proposed: platinum, gold and silver. GTI was tested across three different townships and the findings from the results are documented through a case study approach. From the feedback obtained through the township managers, this index is a reliable tool for evaluating the sustainability of Malaysian townships. It is also well aligned with the requirements set out by the Construction Industry Development Board. Although the GTI has been developed to evaluate the sustainability of built townships, it can also be used to guide the design and planning stage of a township.
Fifty years of the Baier curve: progress in understanding antifouling coatings
Authors: Ober Christopher
Published: January 2017

Biofouling is an entirely natural process, but when it affects ship hulls, it adversely affects society through increased fuel consumption and production of carbon dioxide (CO2). Today, marine coatings include toxicants such as copper that prevent fouling but can themselves harm the environment. The societal choice then is either to burn more fuel or to release toxicant. Researchers today are looking for solutions that minimize or eliminate toxicants yet are efficient enough in antifouling performance that additional fuel consumption is not required. Understanding and controlling the physical structure of a coating surface that interacts with its environment may lead to effective toxicant-free or toxicant-reduced antifouling coatings. This commentary describes several current approaches in terms of the Baier curve, the relationship between fouling release and surface energy, the mechanical properties of the coating, the kinds of materials that presently show the most promise and recently developed strategies for antifouling coating design.

ESTIMACIÓN EN LA LÍNEA NUMÉRICA Y CÁLCULO ESCRITO Y MENTAL EN ALUMNADO DE 4º Y 5º DE EDUCACIÓN PRIMARIA
Authors: Domínguez Suraña Mª Milagrosa , Aguilar Villagrán Manuel
Published: January 2017

Resumen.Actualmente, la naturaleza y desarrollo de la recta numérica mental de los niños es objeto de una amplia línea de investigación. En una tarea sobre la línea numérica se pide a los niños que señalen un número presentado en una recta numérica física con extremos fijos. Por lo general, se observa que las estimaciones de los niños y jóvenes inexpertos responden más a una función logarítmica, mientras que los de más edad y niños con más experiencia reflejan mejor una función lineal. Los estudios sobre estimación en la línea numérica y predicción del rendimiento en matemáticas encuentran fuerte correlación entre las puntuaciones de precisión en la estimación y el rendimiento en test estandarizados de matemáticas (Siegler & Opfer, 2003; Siegler & Booth; 2004; Booth & Siegler, 2008; Reinert et al., 2014). Los análisis teóricos del desarrollo de las representaciones numéricas lineales sugieren que juegos de mesa con rectas numéricas lineales mejoran el conocimiento numérico de los niños pequeños (Ramani & Siegler, 2008). En nuestro contexto se han realizado estudios de estimación en la línea numérica y fluidez de cálculo (Araujo et al., 2012) en niños de primero de Educación Primaria y aquí abordamos estas relaciones con alumnos del segundo y tercer ciclo de Educación Primaria. Hemos valorado en una muestra de 165 niños y niñas de 4º y 5º de Educación Primaria la relación entre estimación en la línea numérica (22 ítems numéricos en una recta entre 0 y 1000) y cálculo escrito y mental (20 operaciones de suma, resta, multiplicación y división que pueden resolverse aplicando el algoritmo tradicional de cálculo o estrategias de cálculo mental). Los resultados muestran la aparición de una clara función lineal de la estimación en la línea numérica y una correlación negativa y significativa entre los errores de estimación y el cálculo escrito y sobre todo cálculo mental, corroborando los hallazgos de estudios similares. La discusión se centra en la importancia de la construcción de una línea numérica para representar los números, que podría tener un papel crucial para el desarrollo matemático no sólo en las edades tempranas sino también en edades más avanzadas.Palabras clave: recta numérica, estimación, educación primaria, cálculo escrito.
