:

Depression is a common mental illness that belongs to the category of emotional disorders that causes serious damage to the health and life of patients, while inflammation is considered to be one of the important factors that causes depression. In this case, it might be important to explore the possible therapeutic approach by using natural compounds exerting an anti-inflammatory and antidepressant effect, which it filed has not been systematically reviewed recently. Hence, this review aims to systematically sort the literature related to the mechanism of exerting an antidepressant effect through anti-inflammatory actions, and to summarize the related natural products in the past 20 years, in terms of a number of inflammatory related pathways (i.e., the protein kinase B (Akt) pathway, monoamine neurotransmitters (5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine) (5-HT and NE), the nod-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, proinflammatory cytokines, neurotrophins, or cytokine-signaling pathways), which might provide a useful reference for the potential treatment of depression.

There are different modalities of intercellular communication governed by cellular homeostasis.
In this review, we will explore one of these forms of communication called extracellular
vesicles (EVs). These vesicles are released by all cells in the body and are heterogeneous in nature.
The primary function of EVs is to share information through their cargo consisting of proteins, lipids
and nucleic acids (mRNA, miRNA, dsDNA etc.) with other cells, which have a direct consequence
on their microenvironment. We will focus on the role of EVs of mesenchymal stem cells
(MSCs) in the nervous system and how these participate in intercellular communication to maintain
physiological function and provide neuroprotection. However, deregulation of this same communication
system could play a role in several neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease,
Parkinson’s disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, prion disease and Huntington’s
disease. The release of EVs from a cell provides crucial information to what is happening inside
the cell and thus could be used in diagnostics and therapy. We will discuss and explore new avenues
for the clinical applications of using engineered MSC-EVs and their potential therapeutic
benefit in treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Authors: Dhiman P.
Published: August 2021

We intend to report on possible fabrication routes for all types of hexagonal ferrites which are known for their wide area of use and applications. Hexagonal ferrites have now become an intense topic of research as they are the part of most of magnetic recording and data storage applications globally. Hexagonal or popularly known as ‘Heaxa-ferrites’ are known for their utilization in permanent magnets and their utilization in electrical devices being operated at high frequencies especially at GHz frequencies. We have presented in this chapter all main six types of hexagonal ferrites i.e. M Type, Z-Type, Y-type, W-type, X-Type and U-type hexa-ferrites. Hexaferrites belong to ferromagnetic class of magnetic materials and their properties are purely dependent on intrinsic structure of ferrites. In this chapter, we aim to discuss more on M-type of hexa-ferrites, their properties and their applications. Also, recent advances on M-type ferrites are also a part of this chapter.

Authors: Ali Hiwa Abubakr
Published: August 2021

The last quarter of the twentieth century witnessed the launch of the functioning of Islamic banks, the expansion of the scope of its work, and its prevalent spread to various countries of the world, including Iraq. Thus, its need for insurance appeared in many of its operations, and takaful insurance emerged as a Sharia alternative to commercial insurance. Takaful insurance provides the same services as commercial insurance, while avoiding Sharia prohibitions. Interests in creating takaful insurance in Iraq has increased, as an important component of the Islamic financial system. In this context, Takaful Regulations were issued to regulate the working of takaful insurance in 2009.
Based on what stated above, the subject of this research aims at studying takaful regulations (No. 1) in the light of the Sharia standards of the Accounting and Auditing Organization, as well as learning about the concept, features and principles of Takaful insurance, and explaining the most important fundamental differences between takaful insurance and commercial insurance.
Development and Usability of a Text Messaging Program for Women With Gestational Diabetes: Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Blair Rachel A , Horn Christine E , Dias Jennifer M , McDonnell Marie E , Seely Ellen W
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects 5%-10% of pregnancies and can lead to serious fetal and maternal complications. SMS text messaging is an effective way to improve diabetes management outside of pregnancy, but has not been well studied in GDM.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to perform user experience testing and assess usability and acceptability of an SMS text messaging program (Text 4 Success) for women with GDM.

METHODS

An automated 2-way texting program was developed. It included (1) reminders to check blood glucose levels, (2) positive feedback to user-reported glucose levels, (3) weekly educational messages, and (4) weekly motivational messages. For the user experience testing, women received simulated messages. For the usability study, women were enrolled in the program and received messages for 2 weeks. All women participated in semistructured interviews. For women in the usability study, data from glucose measuring devices were downloaded to assess adherence to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), measured as the percentage of recommended SMBG checks performed (a secondary outcome).

RESULTS

Ten women participated in user experience testing. Suggestions for optimization included further customization of message timing and minimization of jargon, which were incorporated. Ten women participated in the usability study. All 10 would recommend the program to other women with GDM. Participants liked the immediate feedback to glucose values. Suggestions included further flexibility of messages related to mealtimes and the ability to aggregate blood glucose data into a table or graph. Overall, adherence to SMBG testing was high at baseline (222/238 recommended checks, 93%). In comparing the week prior to the trial with the 2 weeks during the trial, there was a small but statistically insignificant difference (P=.48) in the percentage of recommended SMBG performed (median 93% [25th-75th IQR 89%-100%] vs median 97% [25th-75th IQR 92%-100%]).

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, women with GDM would recommend the Text 4 Success in GDM program and think it is helpful for GDM self-management. The program was usable and acceptable. The program may be better suited to those who have low levels of adherence to SMBG at baseline or to women at time of their diagnosis of GDM. Adaptations to the program will be made based on user suggestions. Further study of SMS text messaging to improve SMBG in GDM is needed.
A Digital Therapeutic Intervention Delivering Biofeedback for Panic Attacks (PanicMechanic): Feasibility and Usability Study (Preprint)
Authors: McGinnis Ellen , O'Leary Aisling , Gurchiek Reed , Copeland William E , McGinnis Ryan
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

Panic attacks (PAs) are an impairing mental health problem that affects >11% of adults every year. PAs are episodic, and it is difficult to predict when or where they may occur; thus, they are challenging to study and treat.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to present PanicMechanic, a novel mobile health app that captures heart rate–based data and delivers biofeedback during PAs.

METHODS

In our first analysis, we leveraged this tool to capture profiles of real-world PAs in the largest sample to date (148 attacks from 50 users). In our second analysis, we present the results from a pilot study to assess the usefulness of PanicMechanic as a PA intervention (N=18).

RESULTS

The results demonstrate that heart rate fluctuates by about 15 beats per minute during a PA and takes approximately 30 seconds to return to baseline from peak, cycling approximately 4 times during each attack despite the consistently decreasing anxiety ratings. Thoughts about health were the most common trigger and potential lifestyle contributors include slightly worse stress, sleep, and eating habits and slightly less exercise and drug or alcohol consumption than typical.

CONCLUSIONS

The pilot study revealed that PanicMechanic is largely feasible to use but would be made more so with modifications to the app and the integration of consumer wearables. Similarly, participants found PanicMechanic useful, with 94% (15/16) indicating that they would recommend PanicMechanic to others who have PAs. These results highlight the need for future development and a controlled trial to establish the effectiveness of this digital therapeutic for preventing PAs.

Published: August 2021

Background. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with an increased rate of infection, which was partly explained by a decreased T cell-mediated response, and although being controversial, impaired function of neutrophil associated with diabetes is also documented. The purpose was to determine awareness of type 2 Diabetic patients about immunization against hepatitis-B, influenza, tetanus and zona, to find out the source of current vaccine information. Materials and methods. The study was planned as a single centred, prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical trial. The questionnaire form was applied to patients diagnosed with type 2 DM, who applied to Diabetics Outpatient Clinic by face-to-face interview technique. Results. A total of 439 patients was evaluated; the diagnosis time of 38.5, 19, 24 and 18% of the patients was determined as 0–5 years, 6–10 years, 11–15 years and more than 16 years, respectively. Organ damage was detected in 76 of the patients, and as the most common complication, retinopathy was found to be in 57 (13.01%) patients. Among the patients, 175 (39.86%) of them had coexisting hypertension, and 164 (37.36%) of them had coexisting hyperlipidaemia. Whereas 153 (35.75%) were aware of pneumococcal vaccine, the number of patients who got vaccinated was 55 (12.53%).

Published: August 2021

Cancer immunotherapy is a relatively new and promising method of treating neoplasms. Understanding the antigen-directed cytotoxicity of T-lymphocytes has become one of the central directions in involving the immune system in the fight against cancer. Basic research in this area has led to the invention of checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive T-cell therapy, and cancer vaccines. Cytokines can enhance the action of T-lymphocytes for their ability to directly stimulate effector and stromal cells in tumor focus and enhance recognition of tumor cells by cytotoxic effector cells. They were the first in cancer immunotherapy and remain relevant to this day. Today, immunotherapy is an effective treatment for most malignant tumors, including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, liver, stomach, bladder, cervical cancer, some types of breast cancer, lymphoma, etc. However, immunotherapy of some malignant tumors is ineffective, therefore, the development of new and improvement of existing immunotherapy agents is actively underway, and there is a hope that the indications for its use will expand. For this purpose, this review discusses the principles of action of various classes of immunotherapeutic anticancer agents, namely cytokines, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and adaptive T-cell therapy. The work highlights their indications, efficacy and toxicity from the use of each class of drugs, as well as the prospects for the development of immunotherapeutic anticancer drugs.

Ciencias de la mente y responsabilidad jurídica: dos retos
Authors: Rudy Hiller Fernando Efraín
Published: August 2021

Este artículo evalúa el impacto de las ciencias de la mente y el compor-tamiento sobre el concepto y la práctica de la responsabilidad jurídica, particu-larmente sobre el derecho penal. Existen dos posiciones polares al respecto: por un lado, hay quie-nes sostienen que las ciencias de la mente muestran que la responsabilidad (jurídica y moral) es una quimera y por tanto que los sistemas jurídicos existentes deben ser radi-calmente revisados. Por el otro, hay quienes piensan que, dado que las prácticas de atri-bución de responsabilidad son prácticas normativas, éstas son fundamentalmente inmu-nes a los descubrimientos científicos acerca del comportamiento humano. Contra ambas posiciones, argumento que dichos descubrimientos, si bien no muestran que la psicología de sentido común en la que se basa el derecho penal está fundamentalmente equivocada, tampoco son irrelevantes para evaluar su corrección. Defiendo esta tesis apelando a los descubrimientos de la psicología social situacionista, los cuales, sostengo, desmienten uno de los supuestos centrales de aquélla, a saber, el supuesto de que las capacidades racio-nales constitutivas de la agencia responsable son estables a través de distintos contextos. Finalmente, ilustro la relevancia de esta conclusión para el derecho examinando las “le-yes del buen samaritano”, las cuales imponen sanciones penales a quienes no ayudan a otros en situaciones de emergencia.

Published: August 2021

Abstract: Excavators are popular earthmoving vehicles that consists of a bucket, arm, rotating cab, and movable tracks. These components provide superior digging power and mobility, allowing this heavy equipment to perform a variety of functions. Currently, Industries which uses crawler excavators having Carbon Steel material for movable track roller are facing problem of strength, weight and high cost of track roller material and processes. Hence, selection of proper relevant material and its manufacturing processes will be done which could increase strength as well as decrease weight and overall cost of excavator under carriage track roller assembly parts. Thus, after suitable identification of materials and manufacturing process of track roller assembly parts, optimization and analysis will be done to confirm selected materials. In the present work, by using Taguchi approach, the turning of EN8D carbon steel is carried out in order to optimize the turning process parameters. The present paper deals with the optimization of selected process parameters, i.e., Speed, Feed rate, Depth of cut. Taguchi orthogonal array is designed with three levels of machining parameters and different experiments are done using L9 (3^3) orthogonal array. Taguchi method stresses the importance of studying the response variation using the signal to noise (S/N) ratio, resulting the minimization of quality characteristic variation due to uncontrollable parameter. Predicted value of cutting parameters and verification test values are valid when compared with the optimum value. It is found that optimum value of verification test is within the limits of predicted value and the objective of the work is full filled.

Weapon and Object Detection Using Mobile-Net SSD Model in Deep Neural Network
Authors: Naik S Gopi
Published: August 2021

Abstract: The plan is to establish an integrated system that can manage high-quality visual information and also detect weapons quickly and efficiently. It is obtained by integrating ARM-based computer vision and optimization algorithms with deep neural networks able to detect the presence of a threat. The whole system is connected to a Raspberry Pi module, which will capture live broadcasting and evaluate it using a deep convolutional neural network. Due to the intimate interaction between object identification and video and image analysis in real-time objects, By generating sophisticated ensembles that incorporate various low-level picture features with high-level information from object detection and scenario classifiers, their performance can quickly plateau. Deep learning models, which can learn semantic, high-level, deeper features, have been developed to overcome the issues that are present in optimization algorithms. It presents a review of deep learning based object detection frameworks that use Convolutional Neural Network layers for better understanding of object detection. The Mobile-Net SSD model behaves differently in network design, training methods, and optimization functions, among other things. The crime rate in suspicious areas has been reduced as a consequence of weapon detection. However, security is always a major concern in human life. The Raspberry Pi module, or computer vision, has been extensively used in the detection and monitoring of weapons. Due to the growing rate of human safety protection, privacy and the integration of live broadcasting systems which can detect and analyse images, suspicious areas are becoming indispensable in intelligence. This process uses a Mobile-Net SSD algorithm to achieve automatic weapons and object detection.

Cymbopogon martinii is a grass from genus Cymbopogon (lemongrasses) native to India, but widely cultivated in other places for its aromatic essential oil. C. martinii known as Palmarosa smells sweet with rose-like odor. Geraniol, a terpene alcohol present in Cymbopogon martinii essential oil (CMEO) is much valued for its typical aroma and medicinal uses. In addition to the pleasant odor, Geraniol is known for fungicidal, nematicidal, acaricidal, insecticidal, repellent properties hence, used as Natural Pest Control Agent (NPCA) exhibiting low toxicity. Furthermore, geraniol has been suggested to exemplify a new class of chemoprevention agents in the treatment of cancer. Biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and vascular effects have been investigated. In the present study, GCMS based in-silico ADMET pharmacoinformatics aspects (Physicochemical, Lipophilicity, Medicinal Chemistry, Druglikeness, Absorption, Water Solubility, Distribution, Metabolism, Pharmacokinetics, Excretion, Environmental Toxicity, Tox21 Pathway and Toxicophore Rules) with PASS prediction of geraniol from CMEO has been bioprospected from human health perspective point of view.

Artiklen bidrager med et teoretisk-illustrativt bud på, hvordan en lovende gaveøkonomi kan bidrage med en vej til velfærd og ikke mindst en vej ud af det økonomiske efterslæb, som COVID-19 har skabt. Gaveøkonomi er en økonomisk udveksling, der skaber velfærdsværdi gennem relationer, dvs. hvor hver part får adgang til det, som andre giver (gaver), ved selv at give (gengave). Som sådan udgør gaveøkonomien et andet medie for udveksling end penge, som skaber velfærdsværdi gennem adskillelse. Budskabet er, at gaveøkonomien principielt er pengeøkonomien overlegen målt på velfærdsværdi. Denne tese finder evidens i fire illustrative cases fra den danske offentlige sektor og understøttes desuden af det politologiske-socioøkonomiske forskningsfelt.
As representações do diabo e do monstruoso nas Cantigas de Santa Maria de D. Alfonso X, o Sábio
Authors: Silva Alex Rogério
Published: August 2021

Na Idade Média, os monstros e demônios ocuparam um lugar de destaque no imaginário social europeu, representando o diferente, o grotesco e, muitas vezes, o maligno. Muitos testemunhos atestavam a sua existência no plano real, como personagens de carne e osso, relatando características físicas, psíquicas e até morais. Esses testemunhos chegaram até nós por meio de documentos das mais diversas tipologias. Atualmente, observamos tais personagens como fruto de um período no qual a sociedade era movida por uma estrutura social que abarcava os monstros e demônios. O conceito de monstro, bem como de demônio, é bem amplo, sofrendo alterações a depender de cada época e localidade. Diante do exposto, com base no conceito de representações de Roger Chartier, o objetivo deste trabalho é fazer uma análise de imagens e discursos sobre o diabo e sobre o que os homens e mulheres da Idade Média Ibérica consideravam como monstruoso, a partir da imagem dos judeus. Como fonte serão utilizadas duas Cantigas de Santa Maria, atribuídas a D. Alfonso X, o Sábio, Rei de Castela e Leão. Serão analisadas duas cantigas: a CSM n. 47, como exemplo da representação do diabo na literatura e, consequentemente, no imaginário medieval, e a CSM n. 4, que assimila o personagem judeu à ideia de monstros, devido às suas ações e diferenças no tocante à religiosidade.

“Imaginação que deu certo”: mobilização emancipatória para a criação do município de Varzedo, Bahia – Brasil (1985-1989)
Authors: Amorim Jorge
Published: August 2021

Na segunda metade do século XX, o Brasil foi palco de criação de novos municípios a partir do desmembramento de municípios-mãe. Este artigo procura estudar as movimentações que, entre 1985 e 1989, impulsionaram o processo emancipatório da vila de Varzedo, localizada na Bahia. Com o objetivo de demonstrar as ferramentas utilizadas pelos grupos “favoráveis” e “desfavoráveis” à autonomia político-administrativa daquela localidade, o estudo se estende desde as primeiras iniciativas até a sanção do projeto de criação do novo município pelo governo estadual.
Sodomia Faeminarum: a Inquisição e a alforria do lesbianismo no mundo português, 1646
Authors: Mott Luiz
Published: August 2021

A história da homossexualidade em Portugal confirma a mesma tendência observada no resto do mundo: o lesbianismo sempre foi muito menos perseguido do que a homossexualidade masculina. Nesse artigo analisamos um documento inédito de 1646, onde os Inquisidores de Lisboa, após consulta do Tribunal do Santo Ofício de Goa, discutem detalhadamente, baseados em diversificada bibliografia, a opinião dos principais teólogos morais da cristandade sobre o tema. Apesar de manifestarem posicionamentos antagônicos, prevaleceu a exclusão da “sodomia faeminarum” da condição de “sodomia perfeita”, deixando a partir de então o lesbianismo de ser crime punível com a fogueira, passando sua perseguição, mais branda, à justiça secular.

This paper proposes a deep recurrent neural network (RNN)-based traffic classification scheme (deep RNN-TCS) for classifying applications from traffic patterns in a hybrid edge computing and cloud computing architecture.We can also classify traffic from a cloud server, but there will be a time delay when packets transfer to the server. Therefore, the traffic classification is possible almost in realtime when it performed on edge computing nodes. However, training takes a lot of time and needs a lot of computing resources to learn traffic patterns. Therefore, it is efficient to perform training on cloud server and to perform serving on edge computing node. Here, a cloud server collects and stores output labels corresponding to the application packets. Then, it trains those data and generates inferred functions. An edge computation node receives the inferred functions and executes classification. Compared to deep packet inspection (DPI), which requires the periodic verification of existing signatures and updated application information (e.g., versions adding new features), the proposed scheme can classify the applications in an automated manner. Also, deep learning can automatically make classifiers for traffic classification when there is enough data. Specifically, input features and output labels are defined for classification as traffic packets and target applications, respectively, which are created as two-dimensional images. As our training data, traffic packets measured at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Barcelonatech were utilized. Accordingly, the proposed deep RNN-TCS is implemented using a deep long short-term memory system. Through extensive simulation-based experiments, it is verified that the proposed deep RNN-TCS achieves almost 5% improvement in accuracy (96% accuracy) while operating 500 times faster (elapsed time) compared to the conventional scheme.
Variations in seasonality in spa centres of Serbia

Published: August 2021

Seasonality of tourist demand imposes a number of issues related to the
destination?s carrying capacity and business activities of the individual
service providers in tourism. As one indicator of seasonal fluctuation of
tourist demand, the Gini index is identified in order to establish monthly
concentration of tourists. In this study, the Gini index was calculated for
four spa tourism destinations in Serbia (Vrnjacka Banja, Sokobanja, Niska
Banja, and Prolom Banja), in order to establish variability in the
seasonality. The research took into consideration the period 2010-2019.
Research results indicate that Niska Banja Spa has the lowest values of the
Gini index, while Vrnjacka Banja Spa and Sokobanja Spa have the highest
values, whereby no values are higher that .45 (mostly between .30 and .39).
Given that the theoretically lowest value of the Gini index is 0 (smallest
seasonal concentration) and the highest is 1 (biggest concentration), the
selected spas still do not have particularly high degree of seasonal
concentration of tourists. Possibilities for reduction of tourist demand
seasonality are pointed out, given its impact on tourism planning and its
economic effects.

BACKGROUND

Earlier evidence on the association between dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and risk of diabetes has been conflicting.

PURPOSE

To quantitatively summarize previous studies on the association between dietary LA intake, its biomarkers, and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the general population.

DATA SOURCES

Our data sources included PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science until 24 October 2020; reference lists of all related articles; and key journals.

STUDY SELECTION

We included prospective cohort studies that examined the associations of linoleic acid (LA) with the risk of T2DM in adults.

DATA SYNTHESIS

The inverse variance method was applied to calculate summary relative risk (RR) of LA intake and its biomarkers, and dose-response associations were modeled using restricted cubic splines. Twenty-three publications, covering a total of 31 prospective cohorts, were included; these studies included 297,685 participants (22,639 incident diabetes cases) with dietary intake assessment and 84,171 participants (18,458 incident diabetes cases) with biomarker measurements. High intake of LA was associated with a 6% lower risk of T2DM (summary relative risk [RR] 0.94, 95% CI 0.90, 0.99; I2 = 48.5%). In the dose-response analysis, each 5% increment in energy from LA intake was associated with a 10% lower risk of T2DM. There was also evidence of a linear association between LA intake and diabetes, with the lowest risk at highest intakes. The summary RR for diabetes per SD increment in LA concentrations in adipose tissue/blood compartments was 0.85 (95% CI 0.80, 0.90; I2 = 66.2%). The certainty of the evidence was assessed as moderate.

LIMITATIONS

A limitation of our work was the observational design of studies included in the analyses.

CONCLUSIONS

We found that a high intake of dietary LA and elevated concentrations of LA in the body were both significantly associated with a lower risk of T2DM. These findings support dietary recommendations to consume dietary LA.

A indústria dos videogames cresceu gradativamente nos últimos 50 anos para constituir uma das principais mídias digitais voltadas para o entretenimento. Embora o design de jogos esteja relativamente consolidado como campo de atuação, o foco dos estudos em ludologia tem se concentrado no estudo crítico dos jogos, cujas premissas nem sempre convergem com as necessidades práticas dos desenvolvedores de jogos. Nesse sentido, este trabalho propõe uma discussão teórica acerca da emergência de uma ciência do design de jogos que adote um método de pesquisa coerente com o processo de design. É adotada, portanto, a perspectiva da Design Science, proposta por Herbert Simon, que se baseia na natureza prática do design para a proposição de um campo epistemológico próprio. A partir da articulação de diversos autores relacionados, o estudo permitiu listar classes de problemas pertencentes ao campo do design do jogo e evidenciou o papel do playtest no processo de criação de heurísticas contingenciais para o design do jogo. A partir da discussão realizada, entende-se que a aplicação do método doDesign Science Research ao desenvolvimento e avaliação do jogo pode beneficiar particularmente o playtest por sugerir como etapa de desenvolvimento do artefato a definição dos mecanismos pelos quais o designer espera que o jogo alcance o seu objetivo. Assim, o relato apresenta uma base de conhecimento com potencial de ser diretamente aplicável ao desenvolvimento e à avaliação do uso de um jogo.
