Authors: Brienze Vânia Maria Sabadoto , André J´úlio César , Liso Elisabete , Louis Irina Vlasova-ST
Published: August 2021

Introdução: Síndrome Inflamatória da Reconstituição Imune (SIRI) se apresenta como uma resposta imune exagerada que ocorre durante uma restauração imune desregulada em pacientes imunocomprometidos em estágio avançado da infecção pelo HIV quando iniciam tratamento com antirretrovirais. Qualquer patógeno oportunista pode provocar este tipo de desordem durante a restauração imune. Objetivo: Identificar os recentes avanços nos fatores de risco e nos biomarcadores moleculares de prognóstico e diagnóstico da Síndrome Inflamatória da Reconstituição Imune associada à meningite criptococócica para melhor compreender sua imunopatogênese. Método: Revisão de escopo conforme a proposta de Joana Briggs Institute. A busca foi realizada por dois pesquisadores independentes, nas bases de dados PubMed e do Google Acadêmico, por meio de descritores e/ou seus sinônimos. Resultados: A busca resultou em 240 artigos. Destes, 36 foram excluídos por serem repetidos; 1 utilizou modelos animais; 3 eram sobre pacientes soronegativos para o HIV; 8 não eram sobre Cryptococcus; 3 falavam sobre tuberculose e 1 sobre criptococose pulmonar. Foram destacados estudos que analisaram fatores de risco e biomarcadores, no sangue / plasma e líquido cefalorraquidiano, que podem esclarecer a imunopatogênese da Síndrome Inflamatória da Reconstituição Imune associada à criptococose. Conclusão: Apresentamos uma revisão dos estudos realizados sobre fatores de risco em biomarcadores no sangue e líquido cefalorraquidiano que podem auxiliar no diagnóstico de Síndrome Inflamatória da Reconstituição Imune na meningite criptococócica. Esses fatores de risco e biomarcadores podem ser usados para identificar pacientes que seriam submetidos a um monitoramento clínico mais rigoroso e com ajuste dos protocolos de tratamento em pacientes com AIDS coinfectados com Cryptococcus.

Coseismic surface fault displacement presents a serious potential hazard for structures and for lifeline infrastructure. Distributed lifeline infrastructure tends to cover large distances and may cross faults in multiple locations, especially in active tectonic regions like California. However, fault displacement measurements for engineering applications are quite sparse, rendering the development of predictive models extremely difficult and fraught with large uncertainties. Detailed fault surface rupture mapping products exist for a few documented cases, but they may not capture the full width of ground deformations that are likely to impact distributed infrastructure. The 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence presented an ideal opportunity to collect data and evaluate the ability of different techniques to capture coseismic deformations on and near the fault ruptures. Both the M 6.5 and 7.1 events ruptured the surface in sparsely populated desert areas where little vegetation is present to obscure surficial features. Two study areas (~400 m × 500 m each) around the surface ruptures from the two events were selected. Teams of researchers were deployed and coordinated to gather data in three ways: field measurements and photographs, imagery from small uninhabited aerial systems, and imagery from airborne light detection and ranging. Each of these techniques requires different amounts of resources in terms of cost, labor, and time associated with the data collection, processing, and interpretation efforts. This article presents the data collection methods used for the two study areas, and qualitative and quantitative comparisons of the results interpretations. While all three techniques capture the key features that are important for displacement design of distributed infrastructure, the use of remote sensing methods in combination with field measurements presents an advantage over the use of any single technique.
Basin and Site Effects in the U.S. Pacific Northwest Estimated from Small-Magnitude Earthquakes
Authors: Rekoske John M. , Moschetti Morgan P. , Thompson Eric M.
Published: August 2021

Earthquake hazards in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) are increased by the presence of deep sedimentary basins that amplify and prolong ground shaking. To better understand basin and site effects on ground motions, we compile a database of recordings from crustal and intraslab earthquakes. We process 8028 records with magnitudes from 3.5 to 6.8 and hypocentral depths up to 62 km to compute Fourier amplitude spectra of ground acceleration for frequencies of 0–20 Hz. We compute residuals relative to the Bayless and Abrahamson (2019; hereafter, BA18) ground-motion model and perform a series of linear, crossed, mixed-effects regressions. In addition to estimating the bias, event, and site terms, we incorporate groupings for broad regionalized site response in three different regions (Seattle basin, Puget Lowland, non-Puget Lowland), for effects from seismotectonic regime (crustal and intraslab sources), and for interactions between the regions and seismotectonic regimes. We find that the scaling of site response with respect to VS30 (time-averaged shear-wave velocity from the surface to a depth of 30 m) and to basin depth indicators Z1.0 and Z2.5 (depths to the 1.0 and 2.5 km/s shear-wave velocity horizons) is generally consistent with BA18; however, the region terms display strong spatial amplification patterns. For frequencies less than 5 Hz, the Seattle basin amplifies ground motions up to a factor of four, relative to the non-Puget Lowland, with a maximum amplification around near 0.5 Hz. Sites in the Puget Lowland amplify low frequencies up to a factor of 2.5. At higher frequencies (f>5  Hz), the Puget Lowland and Seattle basin show regional deamplification of ground motions, with the smallest average amplification factor of 0.65 occurring at 10.0 Hz. Although we observe slight differences in the seismotectonic regime terms, we find that the region terms are significantly more important for modeling earthquake hazard in the PNW.
A Ground-Motion Model for GNSS Peak Ground Displacement
Authors: Goldberg Dara E. , Melgar Diego , Hayes Gavin P. , Crowell Brendan W. , Sahakian Valerie J.
Published: August 2021

We present an updated ground-motion model (GMM) for Mw 6–9 earthquakes using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) observations of the peak ground displacement (PGD). Earthquake GMMs inform a range of Earth science and engineering applications, including source characterization, seismic hazard evaluations, loss estimates, and seismic design standards. A typical GMM is characterized by simplified metrics describing the earthquake source (magnitude), observation distance, and site terms. Most often, GMMs are derived from broadband seismometer and accelerometer observations, yet during strong shaking, these traditional seismic instruments are affected by baseline offsets, leading to inaccurate recordings of low-frequency ground motions such as displacement. The incorporation of geodetic data sources, particularly for characterizing the unsaturated ground displacement of large-magnitude events, has proven valuable as a complement to traditional seismic approaches and led to the development of an initial point-source GMM based on PGD estimated from high-rate GNSS data. Here, we improve the existing GMM to more effectively account for fault finiteness, slip heterogeneity, and observation distance. We evaluate the limitations of the currently available GNSS earthquake data set to calibrate the GMM. In particular, the observed earthquake data set is lacking in observations within 100 km of large-magnitude events (Mw>8), inhibiting evaluation of fault dimensions for earthquakes too large to be represented as point sources in the near field. To that end, we separately consider previously validated synthetic GNSS waveforms within 10–1000 km of Mw 7.8–9.3 Cascadia subduction zone scenario ruptures. The synthetic data highlight the importance of fault distance rather than point-source metrics and improve our preparedness for large-magnitude earthquakes with spatiotemporal qualities unlike those in our existing data set.

Published: August 2021

Antecedentes: la inseguridad alimentaria es una de las problemáticas a las que induce la actual pandemia COVID 19, ya sea por razones económicas o debido a la modificación en la rutina de los individuos, especialmente en los jóvenes, acostumbrados a la dinámica escolar y social activa. Materiales y métodos: estudio de tipo descriptivo-transversal en el cual se indagó sobre el estado nutricional de escolares de la ciudad de Puerto Colombia (Atlántico), a través de la aplicación del cuestionario Krece Plus, describiendo los aspectos sociodemográficos, el estado nutricional general y la caracterización de los hábitos alimentarios. Esto se aplicó a una muestra de 145 escolares en edad de 13 y 14 años. Resultados: los estudiantes indagados se encontraban cursando educación secundaria y, el 68% se encontró en nivel socioeconómico bajo. Se evidenció una prevalencia del estado nutricional muy bajo (73,1%), lo que indica la prevalencia de riesgo o tendencia a la inseguridad alimentaria, que se asocia con la falta de desayuno, bajo consumo de frutas, verduras, lácteos, legumbres. Asimismo, se aprecia un alto consumo de comidas rápidas y dulces. Discusión y conclusión: los resultados discrepan de las recomendaciones dadas por las organizaciones mundiales, especialmente en materia del consumo de frutas y verduras y el consumo de alimentos 3 veces al día. Por lo anterior, es preciso que se induzca a los estudiantes a llevar estilos de vida saludable en tiempos de pandemia COVID 19, que impliquen la sana alimentación y la práctica de actividad física que induzca hacia una salud integral.

Published: August 2021

La trata de personas con fines de explotación sexual es un flagelo que ataca a los derechos humanos, afectando su normal desarrollo social. Por ende, amerita ser atendido con la mayor diligencia posible. Este artículo busca dar a conocer cómo opera este fenómeno delictivo desde una perspectiva sexual. Para ello, se empieza a definir este hecho  como una actividad ilícita, la cual ha sido considerada una compraventa de objeto con fines económicos; pero, en este caso, la connotación de “objeto” ocupa el significado de “ser humano”, en el que pasa a convertirse en una mercancía de valor.

6G Fundamentals: Vision and Enabling Technologies
Authors: Soldani David
Published: August 2021

This article reviews the 6G global landscape and the most relevant private and public initiatives, with US$ billions of investments in next generation information and communication (ICT) systems and application services. Then, it presents the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) technology roadmap towards 6G and 5G New Radio (NR) releases. This is followed by an introduction to the latest shift in paradigm “from Internet of Things (IoT) to Internet of Intelligence (IoI)”, which paves the way towards 6G wireless. The new system is anticipated to provide pervasive connectivity to functions with the ability to represent knowledge, process knowledge, and make decisions, with or without human intervention. Beyond that, the paper discusses the new carrier frequency bands above 110 GHz; and innovative fundamental enabling technologies, such as integrated semantic communication and sensing, low earth orbiting satellites, quantum key distribution, post quantum cryptography, and distributed ledger technology; and portrays a network vision for 6G wireless, looking to 2030 and beyond. Conclusions are drawn on 6G prospects, the needs of security by design for 6G; as well as the potential of 6G for securely connecting pervasive intelligence and preserving privacy; and new research directions to cater for new use categories and requirements.
Estimation of Rabbit Pancreas Dispersion Between 400 and 1000 nm
Authors: Martins Inês , Silva Hugo , Tuchin Valery , Oliveira Luís
Published: August 2021

Current biophotonics methods cover the entire optical spectrum from the deep ultraviolet to the terahertz. To optimize such methods for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, the need to obtain the wideband dispersion of tissues is high. The pancreas is a very important organ in the human body, since it produces insulin and its malfunction may induce diabetes. A reduced number of biophotonics publications regarding the pancreas is available, meaning that studies to determine its optical properties and their variation during optical clearing treatments are necessary. Considering this fact, we used the total internal reflection method to measure the refractive index of the rabbit pancreas for wavelengths between 400 and 850 nm. The experimental results allowed to calculate the pancreas dispersion with the Cauchy, Conrady and Cornu equations. It was observed that all those equations provided good data fitting in the spectral range of the measurements, but differences were observed outside these limits. Considering the wavelength of 633 nm, the mean value from the three dispersions was 1.3521, while the one published for porcine pancreas is 1.3517. The dispersion calculated with the Conrady equation does not present a fast decreasing behavior for shorter wavelengths as the ones calculated with the Cauchy and Cornu equations, but comparing these curves with a dispersion for a tissue-like material, all seem to have good agreement.

Published: August 2021

In this work, Raman and autofluorescence spectroscopy in the near-infrared region has been used for examining amelanotic melanoma as the most dangerous type of malignant melanoma. There were 9 patients with amelanotic melanoma, 60 with pigmented melanoma and 120 with basal cell carcinoma enrolled in this study. We studied 9 amelanotic melanoma cases to differentiate them from basal cell carcinoma (n = 120) and pigmented malignant melanoma (n = 60) using portable spectroscopy setup with laser excitation source at 785 nm and low-cost spectrometer. The spectra of the different tumor type were classified using projection on the latent structure analysis with 10-Fold cross-validation. The results of the tumor classification were presented using box-plot diagrams and ROC analysis. We obtained 0.53 and 0.88 ROC AUCs for distinguishing amelanotic melanoma versus (1) pigmented melanoma and (2) basal cell carcinoma respectively based on the joint autofluorescence and Raman spectroscopy analysis that allowed one to diagnose amelanotic melanoma as true melanoma but no basal cell carcinoma.
The Effect of Noise in Raman Spectra on the Reconstruction of the Concentration of Amino Acids in the Mixture by Multivariate Curve Resolution (MCR) Analysis

Published: August 2021

Changes in the concentration of free amino acids in biological tissues is a sign of impaired protein metabolism in patients with cancer. Recently, Raman spectroscopy has been used for early diagnostics of oncological diseases. The concentrations of individual components of biological tissue (for instance, the concentrations of amino acids) can be obtained by decomposing the tissue Raman spectrum. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of noise in the Raman spectra of individual amino acids on the result of the decomposition of the spectra of an amino acid mixture. As a decomposition method, we used Multivariate Curve Resolution-Alternating Least Squares (MCR–ALS) analysis and investigate experimental Raman spectra of amino acids and mathematically simulated Raman spectra of amino acid mixtures. Noise with different signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) was artificially added to both the experimental spectra of pure amino acids and the spectra of the mixtures. Concentration values for each amino acid obtained as a result of applying the MCR–ALS analysis have been compared with the corresponding true values and the correlation coefficients have been calculated. The results show a less pronounced negative effect of noise in the case when the spectra of pure amino acids (which were used as a basis for the MCR–ALS analysis) are noisy, and a more pronounced negative effect when the spectrum of the mixture is noisy. The accuracy of reconstruction of an amino acid is also negatively affected by strong background fluorescence in the amino acid spectrum. Moreover, the results indicate that using the basis spectra with a high SNR (SNR = 5) makes it possible to successfully estimate the amino acid concentrations in a mixture even when the Raman spectrum of the mixture is noisy and has a low SNR (SNR < 5).
“Me sentí enfermar”: percepciones y comprensión de las mujeres del resultado positivo de un test de virus del papiloma humano en Jujuy, Argentina

Published: August 2021

Con el objetivo de analizar las percepciones y clasificar las modalidades de comprensión sobre un resultado positivo del test de virus del papiloma humano (VPH+), en 2016 realizamos 38 entrevistas en profundidad a mujeres con diagnóstico de VPH+ (prueba de Papanicolaou normal y anormal), realizado en el sistema público de salud de Jujuy. Se elaboró una tipología que delimita perfiles de mujeres en función del tipo de comprensión del resultado: 1) comprensión; 2) no-comprensión, a) subestimación, b) sobreestimación, y c) confusión. Entre aquellas que no comprendían, las entrevistadas que confundían el resultado relataron percepciones contradictorias con relación al VPH y su gravedad; quienes lo subestimaban tendían a mencionar ausencia de síntomas y a expresar escasa preocupación; mientras que aquellas que lo sobreestimaban se consideraban enfermas y expresaban preocupación, relato de una ruptura biográfica y dolores físicos. Los hallazgos confirman la necesidad de mejorar los mecanismos de entrega e información sobre los resultados para disminuir el impacto psicosocial en las mujeres y aumentar la adherencia al seguimiento sugerido.
Escherichia coli and Serratia fonticola ESBLs as a potential source of antibiotics resistance dissemination in the Tricity water reservoirs
Authors: Rybak Bartosz , Wawrzyniak Natalia , Wolska Lidia , Potrykus Marta
Published: August 2021

Despite the fact that cephalosporins are rarely used in medical or veterinary treatment, the presence of Enterobacterales strains resistant to this group of anti-bacterial drugs (ESBL) is an important issue that requires attention. Between 2019 and 2021, 14 retention reservoirs, 12 streams, 3 rivers and 1 lake situated in the Tricity area (in northern Poland) were sampled for the presence of ESBL strains. Out of 40 water samples, characteristic growth (E. coli and the KESC group) on Chromagar ESBL plates was observed for 33 samples. The average number of ESBL E. coli was 42±132 CFU/100 ml, while the KESC group was 73±147 CFU/100 ml. Out of 33 positive samples, 57 ESBL Enterobacterales strains were isolated, of which the most abundant species were E. coli (13 isolates) and S. fonticola (23 isolates). The E. coli ESBL isolates not only showed resistance to third generation cephalosporins but also to antibiotics from other groups, such as fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides and sulfonamides. The S. fonticola ESBL isolates were also found to be mainly resistant to the third generation cephalosporins, with the exception of 5 imipenem and 2 ertapenem-resistant strains. These strains presented highly diverse fingerprinting profiles, as well as significant differences in phenotypic traits helpful for survival in the environment, such as biofilm formation and motility. Moreover, biofilm formation and the swimming ability were species and temperature dependent. We confirmed the presence of highly diverse ESBL strains with multiple drug resistance patterns in the Tricity water reservoirs. This could possibly pose a threat to human health and create a suitable ground for acquiring antibiotics resistance in the natural environment.
“Art Has a Bad (W)rap”: A Conversation with Michael Cullen about the “Wrapped Reichstag”
Authors:   University of Göttingen, Gross Andrew
Published: August 2021

“The history of monuments teaches us much more about people and societies that commissioned them than the people and events for whom they were commissioned.” This is how Michael S. Cullen explained the meaning of commemorative architecture in an interview conducted by telephone, due to Corona restrictions, on 17 September 2020 (see also his introduction to Das Holocaust-Mahnmal, 18). Monuments are designed to commemorate important figures and events, but they also materialize the discussions and debates involved in their construction. Cullen should know. His work has made him the voice, perhaps even the conscience, of what is perhaps the most dialogic monument in Berlin: the Reichstag.
Essay: The Mad Patriot
Authors: Adams Daniel
Published: August 2021

Historians have tried to trace the origin of the American Revolution, but few, if any, have dared indicate an exact moment in time. Yet sufficient evidence points to the chilly afternoon of February 24, 1761, inside the Old Town House (now the Old State House) in Boston as the precise time and place. Future president John Adams, who, as a 25-year-old Boston attorney in attendance at that occasion, later declared, “Then and there was the first scene of the first Act of opposition to the arbitrary claims of Great Britain. Then and there, the Child Independence was born” (Adams to Tudor, 29 March 1817). It was “then and there” that one of the American colonies’ most notable attorneys, James Otis, Jr., gave a speech that caused tremors throughout the British Empire. Textbooks have often downplayed this moment because the man who first sparked the American Revolution—James Otis, Jr.—was considered mad. However, we know today that James Otis Jr. was probably suffering from bipolar disorder and his condition was exacerbated by alcoholism.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the viewpoints of final-year students of Qazvin Dental School regarding their acquired clinical skills based on the educational program.
Methods: The type of study was descriptive cross-sectional. In this study, the clinical skill level of dental students was evaluated using a 45-item questionnaire (from the skills of 9 clinical departments). Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 using t-test.
Results: 24 students (10 males and 14 females) were included in the study. In general, the mean of students (out of 5 scores) was 3.41±0.30 which was in good level. There was a significant difference between the students' ability in different departments (P = 0.000). The highest ability was in endodontics (4.00) and the lowest in oral disease and diagnosis (2.98). There was no significant difference in total abilities between men and women, but the ability of women in the endodontics ward was higher than men (P = 0.002).
Conclusion: The level of ability of the students from their point of view in this study was good. There was also a difference in the skills of girls and boys in educational settings. The results of this study can be used for evaluation of strengths and weaknesses and planning for promoting education in Qazvin Dental School.

Hardship in the regulation of the Romanian Civil Code
Authors:   Petre Andrei University of Iasi, Romania, AFLOROAEI Dionisie
Published: August 2021

The Romanian Civil Code attenuates the principle of binding force of conventions, by regulating contingency, a source of economic imbalance between the services of the parties, which occurs during their execution. The exceptional situation in which the debtor finds himself influences the contractual ensemble, the parties being obliged to renegotiate, in order to adapt the legal relationship to the new circumstances. In the absence of a result, everything will depend on the judge, whose task is is to impose the contractual justice by rightfully dispensing the results of the new factual situation in which the parties find themselves.
Some Considerations Regarding Stock Management by Using Management Accounting Methods

The aim of the stock management is that of making available the assets that are necessary for an efficient development of the activities with minimum costs. A special role devolves on accountancy, by recording, analyzing and checking the in-out fluxes of the stocks. Their administration comes both to financial accountancy and to the administrative one. But the stock management will acquire a special constancy if the permanent inventory of the stocks is transferred to the administrative accountancy, following that in the financial accountancy to be carried out only the intermittent inventory.
Cotroceni Palace Symbol of the Propaganda of the Communist Regime From Romania in the Years 1948 - 1977
Authors:   Muzeul Național Cotroceni, Romania, DRĂGULIN Ioana
Published: August 2021

World War II produced a major shift in global power relations and led to the emergence of bipolarism. The agreements reached by the Allies in Yalta in February 1945 sanctioned the USSR's rule over Eastern Europe. In this context, the takeover of political power and the changes imposed in the economy by the communists in Romania, with the direct help of the USSR was a logical consequence. All the events that took place in Romania between August 23, 1944 and December 31, 1947 were part of the logic of communizing the Romanian society and state on the Soviet model. The communization of Romania followed a path that provided for the invalidation of the liberal, democratic, bourgeois, capitalist model of society and the imposition of another communist, undemocratic, egalitarian, totalitarian model. In order to achieve this goal, measures had been brutally applied to restrict citizens' rights, both politically and in terms of expression or property. In this context, the change of the historical role of the Royal Palace from Cotroceni to the Palace of the Pioneers was part of the propagandistic activity of a totalitarian regime which, in the absence of popular legitimacy, by vote, had to "fabricate" a history to legitimize it in front of the Romanian people.
Stigmata and the Process of Stigmatization: Coping Strategies and Approaches to Intervention for Destigmatization
Authors:   Adventus University, Cernica, Ilfov, Romania, RODAT Simona
Published: August 2021

The concept of ‘stigma’ was introduced into the social sciences by sociologist Erving Goffman in his classic monograph “Stigma: Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity” (1963). Goffman identified various forms of stigmata, both visible and invisible (“hidden”), examined the process of stigmatization in everyday social interactions, and analyzed the consequences of stigmatization on the identity of individuals. Stigmatization describes the process through which actual or potential negative characteristics are ascribed to a person and thus this person is assigned to certain social groups. At the same time, stigmatization involves the association to the person concerned of the prejudices and stereotypes connected to the assigned devaluating characteristic, as well as an underlying, context-dependent process of differentiation, control and discrimination. Stigmatized individuals and groups experience multiple forms of discrimination and are going through different crises. This paper addresses the stigmatization process, the varied types of stigmata, and the coping strategies most commonly used by those who are stigmatized. The paper also highlights the most important approaches and types of intervention that can be used to combat stigmatization and promote destigmatization.

The imposition of restrictive measures on the development of the exploitation activity, forced the economic entities to reorganize their activity. This led either to the restriction of the activity in close connection with the salary costs, or to look for subsidies from the state or fiscal facilities in order to be able to face the diminution of the activity. In this paper we presented some fiscal and economic solutions offered by companies and how to account for them.

Ofelimità and Its Impact in Economy and Society
Authors:   Petre Andrei University of Iasi, Romania, TRIFU Alexandru
Published: August 2021

The concept was introduced by Vilfredo F. D. Pareto, a leading representative of the Lausanne School of Economic thought. Ophelimity comes from Greek, meaning something useful, advantageous for people. And in these challenging and bad days, it is a good landmark to refer to. The term is the expression of the ordinal preference-ranking indicator of the utility. That is, the setting of preferences in a certain order and the purchase of the goods/services depending on the intensity and urgency of the needs, now and on short-run. Therefore, using a survey of the literature in the field, we can deduce the tendencies of the human life and social-economic activities on short-run and, even, on medium-run, altogether with the elements of the Maslow Hierarchy Needs. The term utility of goods and services, even ophelimity is necessary towards regaining the basic needs of people and the re-birth of economies and of social life.
