ANALYSIS OF ELECTROSTATIC PROPERTIES OF POLYSTYRENE FOAM FILTRATION MEDIA
Authors: Charnyi D. V. , Onanko Yu. A.
Published: February 2020

The relevance of research. The analysis of the aqueous suspension filtration initial stage through clean polystyrene foam filtration media carried out. Such feature of its work as hydro-sorting is considered. The degree of imbalance and interaction with other electrostatic systems in aqueous suspension determines the layer of potential-forming ions, which is formed around the core of the system. It determines system’s sign and most of the electrical double layer charge. It is usually determined using a physical quantity such as electrostatic or ζ-potential. The aim of this work is to determine the electrostatic properties of polystyrene foam granules and the degree of influence on the process of retaining various nature colloidal particles on their surface when filtering an aqueous suspension through them.

Research results. The relationship between the sizes of polystyrene foam granules and the concentrations of electrostatic charge on their surface analyzed. Using the Poison-Boltzmann theory, a relationship between an electrostatic charge and an electric double layer of polystyrene foam granules in aqueous suspension showed. The importance of the ζ-potential researching for controlling of colloidal suspensions filtering process substantiated. The electrostatic properties of different morphology colloids studied. Analysis of research data confirms the hypothesis of a very close connection between the various morphologies colloids ζ-potential magnitude and their electric double layer interaction force with electric double layer of polystyrene foam granules in an aqueous suspension. This means that the polystyrene foam filter “charging” time is closely connected to the values of colloids ζ-potential in the filtered aqueous suspension.

Conclusions. The initial filtration stage through clean polystyrene foam media is significantly different from the main stage of filtration due to the electrostatic interaction forces predominance. The time difference of the colloidal crusts complete formation completion on polystyrene foam granules of different diameters is so insignificant that it can be neglected and this time is considered the same for polystyrene foam granules of different diameters. Regardless of the origin nature, the retention intensity of the colloids by polystyrene foam filtration media granules and, consequently, the polystyrene filter “charging” time is directly depends on their z-potential value.

Towards a taxonomic revision of the genus Trollius (Ranunculaceae) in the Asian part of Russia. I. Trollius chinensis: taxonomic and geographical reconsiderations
Authors: Serebryanyi M. M.
Published: February 2020

The present paper opens a series of publications by the author on taxonomy and geography of the genus Trollius L. in the Asian part of Russia. Trollius chinensis Bunge was chosen as a focus of the paper, since the current status of knowledge of taxonomy and geography of this species appeared to be inadequate. Results of the research prove a vast distribution range of T. chinensis in Russia within which there is a number of contact zones with another species of the genus, resulting in active interspecific hybridization. Detailed adjusted morphological description and list of synonyms are elaborated, T. vitalii Stepanov and T. chinensis subsp. macropetalus (Regel) Luferov are reduced to synonymy; combination T. macropetalus (Regel) F. Schmidt should be considered invalidly published and withdrawn from usage. Occurrence of T. chinensis in Mongolia (Harhiraa Mountain Area) is recorded for the first time.
Review of the genus Astragalus section Helmia (Fabaceae)
Authors: Knyazev M. S.
Published: February 2020

A taxonomic review of species and intraspecific taxa of the Astragalus L. section Helmia Bunge is presented. We treat the section Helmia in a traditional, narrow scope, including only 9 species and subspecies: A. helmii Fisch. ex DC., A. tergeminus (Knjaz., Kulikov et E. G. Philippov) Knjaz., A. permiensis C. A. Mey. ex Rupr., A. depauperatus Ledeb. (= A. chakassiensis Polozhij), A. kasachstanicus Golosk. subsp. kasachstanicus, A. kasachstanicus subsp. coloratus Knjaz., A. gregorii B. Fedtsch. et Basil. (= A. tuvinicus Timokhina), A. heptapotamicus Sumnev., A. ionae Palib. ex Gontsch. et Popov. With regard to the other 16 species of sect. Helmia in its widest sense, as accepted in the monograph by D. Podlech and Sh. Zarre (2013), we believe it more correct to attribute them to other sections. The rank of A. helmii var. tergeminus Knjaz., Kulikov et E. G. Philippov is raised to the species, A. tergeminus (Knjaz., Kulikov et E. G. Philippov) Knjaz. It is shown that A. gregorii is a priority name of A. tuvinicus. The epitype of A. permiensis C. A. Mey. ex Rupr. is designated. An identification key and a map of distribution for all species and subspecies of Astragalus sect. Helmia are presented.

Caelestium genus novum (Polygonaceae, Polygoneae): evidence bаsed on the results of molecular phylogenetic analyses of tribe Polygoneae, established with consideration of the secondary structure of the ITS rDNA regions
Authors: Yurtseva O. V. , Mavrodiev E. V.
Published: February 2020

The genus Bactria, recently described to house Atraphaxis ovczinnikovii from the Pamirs and Bactria lazkovii from the Central Tien Shan, may also include Polygonum tianschanicum from the Eastern Tien Shan. In order to re-circumscribe Bactria and to clarify the place of Polygonum tianschanicum in tribe Polygoneae, we performed Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian analyses of combined regions of the plastid genome and ITS1–2 regions of nrDNA for 58 species of tribe Polygoneae, with special attention to the secondary structure of pre-rRNA of the ITS1 and ITS2 loci. In all our analyses, Bactria lazkovii and Polygonum tianschanicum formed a highly supported clade, sister to Bactria ovczinnikovii in the plastid trees, but separate from the latter, as well as from the remaining genera in the ITS-based trees. Details of the secondary structure of pre-rRNA of the ITS1 and ITS2 loci also confirmed the close relationships of Bactria lazkovii and Polygonum tianschanicum, quite different from Bactria ovczinnikovii. Based on the molecular analyses, details of the secondary structure of pre-rRNA of the ITS1 and ITS2 loci, fine morphological distinctions, and distributional data, we propose the new genus Caelestium Yurtseva et Mavrodiev, presumably of hybrid origin, to include C. lazkovii and C. tianschanicum.

Espinoza, M. I. and Aronczyk, M. Big Data for Climate Action or Climate Action for Big Data?
Authors: Espinoza Maria Isabel , Aronczyk Melissa
Published: February 2020

Under the banner of “data for good,” companies in the technology, finance, and retail sectors supply their proprietary datasets to development agencies, NGOs and intergovernmental organizations to help solve an array of social problems. We focus on the activities and implications of the Data for Climate Action (D4CA) campaign, a set of public–private collaborations that wield user data to design innovative responses to the global climate crisis. Drawing on in-depth interviews, first-hand observations at “data for good” events, intergovernmental and international organizational reports, and media publicity, we evaluate the logic driving D4CA initiatives, examining the implications of applying commercial datasets and expertise to environmental problems. Despite the increasing adoption of D4CA paradigms in government and public sector efforts to address climate change, we argue D4CA is better seen as a strategy to legitimate extractive, profit-oriented data practices by companies than a means to achieve global goals for environmental sustainability.
The interleukin 7 receptor is differentially expressed in the blood of patients with Crohn’s Disease.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2020

The inflammatory bowel diseases include Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (1). Crohn’s Disease has been understood as a complex genetic disorder of multifactorial nature (2) but these factors remain incompletely understood. We mined multiple published and public datasets (3, 4, 5) to determine in an unbiased and systematic fashion which genes were expressed most differently in the blood cells of patients with Crohn’s Disease as compared to healthy controls. We found that the gene encoding the interleukin 7 receptor, IL7R, was among the genes whose expression changed most significantly between patients with Crohn’s Disease as compared to healthy controls, in the whole blood, in monocyte-derived macrophages, and in regulatory T-cells (Treg). While patients with Crohn’s Disease expressed significantly lower levels of IL-7R in the whole blood and in monocyte-derived macrophage than healthy controls, patients with Crohn’s Disease expressed significantly higher levels of IL-7R in Treg. IL-7R expression has been studied in the intestinal tissues of patients with Crohn’s Disease but this is the first study to document differential expression of the IL-7 receptor in the blood cell of patients with Crohn’s Disease.

Small-Scale Utilitarianism: High Acceptance of Utilitarian Solutions to Trolley Problems among a Horticultural Population
Authors: Winking Jeffrey , Koster Jeremy
Published: February 2020

The study of moral dilemmas enables researchers to investigate the specific factors that influence humans’ judgments of the appropriateness of different actions. A common construction of this dilemma is the so-called Trolley Problem, which pits an obvious utilitarian solution, one which saves the largest number of lives, against a common deontological dictum to not do harm to others. Participants vacillate on their preferred preferences based on a number of well-documented contextual factors. Although the literature is replete with cross-cultural studies validating the robustness of such biases, the sampled cultural variation within this literature is largely limited to Western, industrialized, educated, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) populations. Here we expand this variation by investigating preferred solutions to common Trolley Problem scenarios among a Mayangna community, a small-scale indigenous population residing in northern Nicaragua. Compared to previously sampled populations, the Mayangna participants report much higher levels of acceptance of utilitarian solutions. Furthermore, while some tests suggest a contact/means bias, there is no evidence of an omission bias. We examine spontaneously reported justifications to explore how Mayangna culture might lead participants to take into account considerations that are largely absent in WEIRD populations.
The Structure and Subtypes of Gambling Frequency: An Approach to Studying Associations with Different Gambling Behaviors
Authors: Huggett Spencer , Winiger Evan , Palmer Rohan , Hewitt John K. , Corley Robin P. , Stallings Michael
Published: February 2020

The multitude of gambling activities corresponds to heterogeneous ways of analyzing behavioral outcomes and may partially underlie the lack of replication in gambling research. The current study incorporated complementary analyses to provide an approach to investigate associations with multi-dimensional gambling data that we demonstrated in a discovery/community sample of 2,116 twins (54.86% female; Mage=24.90) and a replication/clinical sample of 619 siblings (30.37% female; Mage=28.00). Our proposed approach was twofold. First, we used confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) to derive a general gambling frequency measure across eight gambling activities and to test the common liability hypothesis. Second, we conducted latent class analyses (LCAs) to derive gambling frequency subtypes and investigated their theoretical correspondence with the Pathways Model. Our study identified robust support for the common liability hypothesis of gambling, suggesting a shared mechanism for multiple gambling behaviors – including activities controversially defined as “gambling.” Using LCAs, we identified four novel gambling frequency subtypes with analogous behavioral profiles and correlates across samples and some resemblance with the Pathways Model. The subtype with the highest rates of problem gambling had a frequent appetite for particular gambling activities and demonstrated externalizing psychopathology comparable to the “antisocial impulsivist” pathway. Using co-twin control models, we determined that risk-taking, sensation seeking and antisocial personality disorder predicted gambling frequency above and beyond shared genetic and environmental factors. In sum, we illustrated the utility of multi-dimensional statistical techniques for disentangling the structure and typology of different gambling behaviors and discussed our results in context of the psychometric, empirical and theoretical implications.
Professional improvising musicians couple more closely in timing and tonality when simultaneously rather than successively recording
Authors: Setzler Matt , Goldstone Robert
Published: February 2020

Joint action (JA) is ubiquitous in our cognitive lives. From basketball teams to teams of surgeons, humans often coordinate with one another to achieve some common goal. Despite this ubiquity, the individual mechanisms and group-level dynamics of complex, sophisticated JA are poorly understood. We examine coordination in a paragon domain for creative joint expression: improvising jazz musicians. Coordination in jazz music is improvised and subserves an aesthetic goal: the generation of a collective musical expression comprising coherent, highly nuanced musical structure (e.g. rhythm, harmony). In this study, dyads of professional jazz pianists improvised in a "coupled", mutually adaptive condition, and an "overdubbed" condition which precluded mutual adaptation, as occurs in common studio recording practices. Using a model of musical tonality, we quantify the flow of rhythmic and harmonic information between musicians as a function of interaction condition, and show that mutually responsive dyads produce more consonant harmonies, an ability which increases throughout the course of improvised performance. These musical signatures of coordination were paralleled in the subjective experience of improvisers, who preferred coupled trials despite being blind to condition. We present these results and discuss their implications for music technology and JA research more generally.
Identifying the domains of ideological similarities and differences in attitudes
Authors: Kubin Emily , Brandt Mark John
Published: February 2020

Liberals and conservatives disagree, but are there some domains where we are more or less likely to observe ideological differences? To map the types of attitudes where we may be more or less likely to observe ideological differences, we draw on two approaches, the elective affinities approach, which suggests individual differences explains differences between liberals and conservatives, and the divergent content approach, which posits the key distinction between ideologues are their value orientations. The goal of the current research was to explore when and why liberals and conservatives disagree. We tested whether ideological differences are more likely to emerge in attitudes characterized by threat, complexity, morality, political ideology, religious ideology, or harm (as compared to objects not characterized by these domains) using both explicit and implicit measures of 190 attitude objects. While all domains predicted ideological differences, the political domain was the only significant predictor of ideological differences when controlling for the other domains. This study provides insight into which attitudes we are most and least likely to find ideological differences.
Can we Trust Science and, if so, Why?
Authors: Wuttke Alexander
Published: February 2020

The trustworthiness of scientific findings is at the center of current scholarly and public debates. The contestation of scientific knowledge claims is reason to take a break from our every-day tasks as scientists and to reflect upon our doing as professional truth-seekers. This essay reviews two recent books on foundational and practical questions on the scholarly generation of knowledge. 'Why Trust Science' (Oreskes) is an intellectual expedition into the epistemological foundations of science. 'Transparent and Reproducible Social Science Research' (Christensen, Freese, Miguel) is the first book-length primer on contemporary Open Science debates in the social sciences. Together, these books demonstrate the range of what we can learn from the new wave of ‘research on research’, both as curious citizens and as academic scholars.
Transgenders: an insight to early progression
Authors: Alam Mohammad Khursheed , Arshad Anas Imran
Published: February 2020

Lack of local and national transgender-led organisations necessitates an informatory response of researchers striving to develop standards of medical and dental care for transgender communities of developing countries. Here in the Universiti Sains Malaysia in Kelantan, Malaysia, we have made efforts to conduct research and develop a better understanding of health care needs for local Bangladeshi transgender community. Currently, we are outreaching transgender community leaders for data collection with prior permissions to facilitate at least palliative treatment provision. We aim to assess the differences in dental and craniofacial morphometry of transgenders. We also focus on identifying the associations of Body Mass Index (BMI) and ABO Blood grouping with the craniofacial morphometrics. So for our knowledge goes, there is no existing database for the dental and craniofacial morphometric norms of transgenders. Our study outcomes will primarily serve orthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons and on a larger scale will facilitate forensic specialists, radiologists and other health care personnel to better understand the inherent differences and plan the desired treatments according to their specific norms. This will also encourage and empower transgenders to seek health advices and enjoy a healthy social life. The fears of violence and discrimination that transgenders face in our society have suppressed their basic health care needs for long. We need to work in globalised collaboration to address the complex array of challenges that the transgender community faces. Gender equity and indiscrimination is their birth right and we hold this responsibility to defend and fight for their rights to ensure their prosperous future.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 04 No. 03 July’20 Page : 155

Published: February 2020

Medical malpractice negatively affects the health care across the globe, and the case of Pakistan is not a novel. Beyond the human consequences such as injuries, loss of lives, complete or partial impairment of limbs, including the factors of miseryand violence against health care has far reaching, long-term consequences which affecting the patients trust on the health-care servicesthat has negative and catastrophic impacts on the public health. Indeed, malpractice results from breach of duty on the part of medical practitioner that could be negligence attracting penalty in form of damages, or be recklessness, or deliberate misconduct call for imposition of fine, or physical punishment or both, which serve as detriment for health care provider and as a relief for the aggrieved.Assertively, in theabsence of research studies, the present endeavor was to attract the attention of government andlaw makers towards this issue. And thus, for this purpose, the study was conducted in Peshawar district from July 17th, 2019 to October 1st, 2019. Consequently, the finding of this study reflected the magnitude of non-reporting of sentinel events, unawareness among massesoflaws and remedies that could be availed at the times of malpractice complaints, and key gaps in laws, system and policies of health care dealing with malpractice. The study further demonstrates that prevention as well as establishment of fair and unbiased system of accountability is the need of the day. Since, in this way, the policy and law makers will be enabled to bring reforms in health care system in order to mitigate medical malpractice in Pakistan.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 04 No. 03 July’20 Page : 161-173

Published: February 2020

Background:Negative result from a satisfactory Papanicolaou (Pap) smear without endocervical cells and transformation zone (EC/TZ) components does not increase the chances of cervical cancer. However, a preparation of without EC/TZ components cannot rule out cervical cancer. Therefore, we aimed to study the factor associated with absence of EC/TZ components in Pap smear in Pasir Puteh District.Materials and Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study between groups of presence and absence of EC/TZ components in Pap smear test results was conducted among 114 samples of Pap smear screening who fulfilled study criteria in Pasir Puteh district, Kelantan state of Malaysia. Data were collected from Pap smear registry between 15th December 2019 and 15thJanuary 2020. Descriptive statistics, simple and multiple logistic regressions were used for data analysis.Results and Discussion: The prevalence of Pap smear samples with absence of EC/TZ components was 14.2% (95%CI: 0.11, 0.16). Multiple variable analysis using multiple logistic regression revealed BMI and nurses’ working duration as the significant factors associated with absence of EC/TZ components with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 1.08 (95%CI:1.01, 1.16); p<0.05) and 0.85 (95%CI:0.76, 0.96; p<0.05) respectively.Conclusion:Majority of cervical cancer lesion happened in EC/TZ zone. Therefore, it is important to make sure staffs who conduct Pap smear test have received adequate training and used good sampling equipment in difficult patient to ensure the yield of the smear is satisfactory with presence of EC/TZ zone.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 04 No. 03 July’20 Page : 178-183

Authors: Sutikno Dria Anggraeny , Baskoro Nurdopo
Published: February 2020

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a clinically impaired kidney degradation syndrome, which commonly is diagnosed based on glomerulus filtration rate (GFR). Renal parenchymal resistive index and the renal cortex echogenicity are ultrasound parameters that have been reported correlate with GFR values. This study aims to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value between renal intra-parenchymal resistive index and renal cortical echogenicitybased on GFR in CKD patients.Materials and Methods: This study is a cross sectional design. A renal ultrasound examination was performed to forty one CKD patients to assess the resistive index of the renal intra-parenchymal artery and the echogenicityof the renal cortex. The creatinine serum levels were obtained from the patients, as the gold standard of CKD diagnosis. Statistical data processing uses diagnostic test and Inter class Correlation Coefficients (ICC).Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of renal intraparenchymal resistive indexes were 23%, 79%, 33%, and 69% respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value between renal cortex echogenicity were 23%, 96%, 75%, and 73% respectively. The ICC analysisreported a Single Rater value of 0.1538 and Average of Raters 0.3528.Conclusion: Renal intra-parenchymal resistive artery was more specific than renal cortex echogenicity for diagnosing patients with chronic kidney disease.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 04 No. 03 July’20 Page : 194-199

Published: February 2020

Objectives : This study was performed to gain an understanding about perceptions of integrated practical class between histology and anatomical pathology among medical students in Universitas Indonesia, and to evaluate the quality of current histology learning method.Materials and Methods: The students learnt histology by means of histology alone or integrated with anatomical pathology. Two hundred and fifty-seven students (n=257) completed the anonymous questionnaire-based survey. The post-test’s score from the last two years were achieved and compared from the archive.Results and Discussion: The results of the study revealed two contrasting perceptions; while the majority of the students agreed that this learning method was considered useful, it nevertheless brings a great deal of stress considering the amount of materials they have to learn in short time. This generates a range of negative feelings in students that affected their learning performanceConclusion : Integrating the subjects is an effective way to improve students understanding of normal and abnormal condition of an organ. However, this method requires a longer time for students to understand the crowded material for the effectiveness. Further research is needed to refine the better strategy to deliver the integrated histology material effectively.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 04 No. 03 July’20 Page : 200-205
Résultats du traitement arthroscopique des conflits antérieurs de la cheville selon l’état articulaire tibiotalien
Authors: Guignand D. , Houfani F. , Parot J. , Bauer C. , Galliot F. , Mainard D.
Published: February 2020

Le conflit antérieur de cheville est un syndrome caractérisé par la présence de douleurs antérieures de cheville. Le diagnostic est clinique et l’examen retrouve des douleurs antérieures à la palpation de l’interligne articulaire. La flexion dorsale forcée peut déclencher ou augmenter la douleur. Le conflit antérieur osseux est caractérisé par la présence d’ostéophytes localisés sur la marge antérieure du tibia et du col du talus. Leur origine est discutée. Le traitement arthroscopique du conflit antérieur de la cheville permet une amélioration fonctionnelle significative, en particulier lorsqu’il n’y a pas d’atteinte arthrosique tibiotarsienne. Cependant même quand il y a une atteinte arthrosique, si la douleur est principalement due au conflit, la résection des ostéophytes peut améliorer les patients et éviter ou retarder une intervention plus importante.
