Effect of resistance exercise with arm sleeve compression garments accelerates blood lactate removal
Authors: Chiappa Gaspar Rogerio da Silva
Published: March 2022

Purpose:

It has long been suggested that arm sleeve compression garments (CG) may impact blood lactate levels ([Lac-]B) during the recovery from resistive exercise. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that upper-body compression garments during recovery from intense resistive exercise contribute to La clearance, thus leading to reduced [Lac-]B.

Methods:

Sixteen healthy men underwent two sequences of flexion and extension exercises of the elbows and triceps on a pulley, with and without upper-body compression garments, separated by 72h. The exercises were performed with 3 sets of 10 RM, and a cadence of 2 sec was maintained in the eccentric phase and concentric phase. During an inactive recovery period of 20 minutes, serial arterialized venous blood samples were collected to obtain lactate concentrations.

Results:

Subjects showed similar responses at baseline and at peak exercise during the two experimental conditions. [Lac-]B during recovery was reduced with the use of upper-body compression garments at 5, 10, 15, and 20 min of recovery (P<0.05).

Conclusion:

These data are consistent with the notion that compression garments can accelerate lactate removal during recovery from intense exercise.

On the Real-World Interactivity Potential of Minimalistic Knitted Sensors at the Intersection of Artificial Intelligence and User Experience
Authors:   , McDonald Denisa Qori , Shokoufandeh Ali , Dion Genevieve
Published: March 2022

Recent work has demonstrated the feasibility of producing knitted capacitive touch sensors through digital fabrication, which rely on a single conductive yarn and two external connections. This technique increases these sensors' robustness and usability, while shifting the complexity of enabling interactivity from the hardware to computational models. The application of algorithmic and artificial intelligence models to these novel pervasive technologies is key to unfolding their potential, particularly when real-world and user experience considerations are also included. To bring this technology closer to real-world use, this dissertation goes beyond previous work on coarse touch discrimination, to enable fine, accurate touch localization and complex gesture recognition on these low-profile knitted sensors. Deep learning and algorithmic models are presented to analyze noisy time-series signal data, which are able to capture the temporal behavior of the sensors and extract relevant local features. Furthermore, several user studies are conducted to train these models, demonstrate their generalizability with new users, and investigate their robustness when exposed to everyday use events. To start shaping the future of touch-sensitive fabric technology according to user expectations and everyday use scenarios, through a formative focus group study, users' views of these fabrics are also explored in different contexts. The contributions of this work set the foundations for creating pervasive interactive systems powered by artificial intelligence models that use minimalistically-designed knitted sensors as an input medium.

Published: March 2022

Blood serum microelement composition of egg-laying quails raised in the urban environment is of great scientific and practical interest. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of a feed additive on the mineral composition of quail blood. To stimulate metabolism and egg productivity, quails of the experimental group were fed with a supplement containing magnesium, vitamins B, L-carnitine at the dose of 0.25 ml/liter of water for 120 days. At the age of 120 days, the blood serum micronutrient composition of experimental (10) and control (10) birds were measured by mass spectrometry followed by mathematical processing of the data obtained under laboratory conditions. Figuratively, all studied elements are divided into 4 groups i.e. macronutrients (calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and magnesium); essential elements (iron, copper, zinc, selenium, molybdenum, chromium, manganese, cobalt); roughly essential (silicon, boron, arsenic, lithium, and nickel) and roughly toxic (aluminum, titanium, lead, mercury, antimony, and cadmium). Results of the study revealed that the blood serum of a control group have a wide range of studied mineral content components while in the experimental group, egg-laying quails showed a decrease in phosphorus (18.30%), iron (12.29%), copper (6.76%), zinc (6.92%), molybdenum (18.80%), arsenic (14.00%) and cadmium (12.50%), as well as increases the concentration of magnesium (5.85%), manganese (28.31%), nickel (39.40%), lithium (8.32%), titanium (11.96%), lead (16.13%), mercury (13.34%) and antimony (14.29%) relative to the control group. The data obtained indicate that the feed additive had an ambiguous effect on the metabolism and led to changes in the concentration of certain trace elements in the blood serum, which in turn influenced the levels of other elements. The higher content of Ni, Li, Ti, Pb, Hg, and Sb in the blood serum of experimental laying quail stimulated the activity of enzymes, metabolic processes, which contributed to an earlier start of egg-laying.

Crocus sativus is a medicinal plant supposedly possessing various biological activities. Currently, it is evaluated only by the medicinal properties of its stigma and many parts of this plant are unused. This work contributes to the valorization of C.sativus stamens by exploring the property of methanolic extract to prevent gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Twenty Wistar rats (weight 250 ± 30g) were assigned into four equal groups (n = 5), and among the assigned groups,  group 1 was given only distilled water (Control), group 2 received intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of gentamicin (GEN) 80 mg/kg/d, group 3 received the combination of gentamicin (80 mg/kg/d, i.p.) and oral administration of a lower dose of C. sativus methanolic extract (250 mg/kg/d), while the group 4 received the combination of gentamicin (80 mg/kg/d, i.p.) and oral administration of a higher dose of C. sativus methanolic extract (500 mg/kg/d). The injection of gentamicin for the nephrotoxicity induction and post-treatment with methanolic extract was carried out once a day for 15 days. For nephrotoxicity evaluation, biochemical and histopathological analyses were performed. The estimation of serum and urinary creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, sodium levels was carried out with the help of Architect Ci 4100 Analyzer. Oxidative stress was assessed by the determination of renal malondialdehyde (MDA) and catalase (CAT) levels. The results of the study suggested that gentamicin injection induced a significant (p < 0.01) elevation in serum renal biochemical parameters and oxidative stress indices. The methanolic extract of C. sativus significantly (p < 0.05) reduced serum creatinine, urea, and sodium levels, with an improvement in the histopathological results of gentamicin-induced alterations. Furthermore, pretreatment with plant extracts improved hepatic antioxidant status, by the elevation of the CAT and reducing the lipid peroxidation level (MDA) in tissues. The present study suggests that the methanolic extract of C. sativus stamens has an interesting nephroprotective effect on the renal lesions induced by GEN in modulating renal parameters and oxidative stress on Wistar rats.
Bridging the Gap: Mobilization of Multilateral Development Banks in Infrastructure
Authors: Avellán Leopoldo , Galindo Arturo , Lotti Giulia , Rodríguez Bonilla Juan Pablo
Published: March 2022

We explore how Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) can help to fill a large infrastructure financing gap in developing countries by indirectly mobilizing resources from other entities. The analysis focuses on more than 6,500 transactions in 2005-2020 to developing and emerging markets from the Infrastructure Journal database. Using granular data, we analyze the dynamics of flows from different actors to infrastructure at the country-subsector level, and control for a wide range of fixed effects. MDB lending significantly increases the inflows from other sources. Cross-border and domestic resources are mobilized from both the public and the private sectors. Effects exhibit country heterogeneity. Mobilization occurs in countries of all income levels, though it is stronger in low and lower-middle income countries. In countries that use capital controls frequently mobilization effects are undermined. When the global financial crisis of 2008 hit, no difference in mobilization effects was found, unlike the COVID-19 pandemic when mobilization effects were weakened. The findings survive a long battery of robustness checks, and no evidence of anticipation effects is found.
Sentirjugarhacerpensar: la acción en el campo de la salud
Authors: Spinelli Hugo
Published: March 2022

Este libro no pretende ser un manual o un pañol en el que se encuentran herramientas. Apostamos a que la lectura lleve a pensar lo que se hace para que la acción reemplace a la contemplación y al “habría que”, y así construir prácticas centradas en la humanización con fuertes vínculos con lo territorial. El campo de la salud es un juego social complejo, en el que diferentes agentes interactúan en función de sus intereses y capitales. Esa complejidad está dada por una trama de dimensiones político-económicas e ideológico-culturales que nos demandan, además de políticas restitutivas de derechos, un replanteo epistemológico si queremos otra concepción sobre el proceso salud-enfermedad-atención-cuidado. Esto nos exige abandonar la matriz de la filosofía idealista, basada en el sujeto centrado en la razón, así como los desarrollos posteriores que construyen la razón instrumental, principal modo operativo de la ciencia en cuanto técnica e ideología, que continúa dando sustento a construcciones epistemológicas que están destruyendo el planeta y pauperizando la vida de las personas. Salir de la episteme dominante que nos estructura no es fácil, ni se consigue con la declamación o el simple entendimiento. Salir es un proceso largo y complejo, de deconstrucción y reconstrucción del pensamiento y de las acciones, proceso no exento de recaídas, pero muy necesario de emprender si deseamos otras relaciones, otras formas de trabajo, otros modos organizativos y otras institucionalidades en el campo de la salud y, sobre todo, otra concepción del proceso salud-enfermedad-atención-cuidado en los conjuntos sociales.

Статья посвящена анализу языковых средств репрезентации коммуникативной стратегии дискредитации в современном англоязычном политическом дискурсе на материале критических выступлений в адрес премьер-министра Великобритании лидера парламентской оппозиции К. Р. Стармера. Актуальность исследования определяется повышенным интересом к политическому дискурсу, особенно с точки зрения его коммуникативнопрагматического потенциала и разнообразия коммуникативных стратегий и речевых тактик. В ходе исследования автор выявляет такие характерные для английского языка вербальные маркеры стратегии дискредитации как: использование условных конструкций и риторических вопросов, антитеза, лексические и синтаксические повторы, синтаксический параллелизм, апелляция к лексике с отрицательной эмоциональной коннотацией для создания негативного образа оппонента и персональный дейксис личного местоимения ―we‖.
Rhoifolin Provides Neuroprotection against Spinal Cord Injury by Attenuation of Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Apoptosis in Rats
Authors: Long Kangjian , Du Xuehong , Yan Zhongxin , Xu Jin
Published: March 2022

Background: Rhoifolin is a plant flavonoid known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study was taken to identify the effect of rhoifolin on Spinal cord injury (SCI) in a rat model. Methods: Motor function of SCI rats was carried out by using in Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan test. Expression levels of different proteins such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, NF-κB p65, p-IκB-α, p38MAPK, caspase-3 and caspase-9 were carried out by using western blotting analysis. The Concentration of proteins was determined by using Bradford’s method. Estimating of Glutathione (GSH), Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) was carried out by using commercially available kit. Result: Rhoifolin was tested at 20 and 40 mg/kg doses and showed a significant improvement in the motor function of SCI rats in Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan test. Moreover, rhoifolin treatment also attenuated pro-inflammatory cytokine levels such as IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α. The NF-κB pathway showed a significant attenuation as evident in the significant downregulation of the NF-κB p65 and p-IκB-α levels. In addition, rhoifolin treatment also caused a significant reduction in oxidative stress, as evident from changes in intracellular levels of Glutathione, GPx, MDA and SOD in the articular cartilage tissue. Further, we also tested rhoifolin for its effect on the apoptotic pathway by estimating the intracellular levels of p38MAPK, caspase-3 and caspase-9. The current results show that rhoifolin has a neuroprotective in SCI rat model.

Published: March 2022

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the production of two fodder crops; common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) and Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) irrigated with treated wastewater. The study was implemented during summer 2015. Methods: Four water regimes were used in the experiment including: Irrigation with fresh water (control), fresh water supplied by 10 ppm N-P-K fertilizer, treated wastewater and treated wastewater supplied with 10 ppm N-P-K fertilizer. The crops were planted in 5 liters plastic pots in 4:1 v/v sandy to clay soil. The soil was analyzed before and after planting. The following plant parameters were recorded: Plant height, fresh weight, dry weight, leaves number/plant, fruit number/plant and fruit weight/plant. Result: using treated wastewater significantly increased production parameters, the highest production was obtained with treated wastewater supplied with 10 ppm N-P-K fertilizer (81.5 cm/plant higher in vetch and 112.5 cm/plant in alfalfa for plant height). When treated wastewater was used alone compared to fresh water higher fresh weights (62.8 g/plant) (82.33 g/plant (132 and 87.17 g/plant) for vetch and alfalfa were obtained respectively. Regarding the dry weight, irrigation with TWW produced 33.83 g/plant and 44.67 g/plant compared to 22 g/plant and 24.5 g/plant for plants irrigated with fresh water for vetch and alfalfa respectively. The results of soil analysis show an increase in soil content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, as well as an increase in soil salinity and SAR values.
KANT I HEMIJA BEZ MATEMATIKE
Authors: RUJEVIĆ GORAN
Published: March 2022

Imanuel Kant u delu Metafizička polazna načela prirodne nauke iznosi oštar stav da hemija nije prava nauka, što u njegovom registru znači da se u hemiji ne upotrebljavaju konstrukcije čistog opažaja, to jest da u hemiji nema čiste matematike. Ovo može da zvuči neobično za poznavaoce savremene kvantitativne hemije, a u izvesnoj meri se kosi i sa sadržajem Kantovih najranijih spisa o prirodi. U tekstu Sažeta razmatranja o vatri Kant koristi geometrijske konstrukcije pri rezonovanju o tipično hemijskom fenomenu, toploti. Detaljnijom analizom ovog teksta i poređenjem sa izvesnim istaknutim teorijama toplote, uviđamo da je Kantovo objašnjenje toplote pre dinamičko nego hemijsko. Pomoću ovog uvida možemo da razrešimo naznačenu diskrepancu stavova o hemiji: niti je Kant u međuvremenu izmenio svoj pogled na hemiju niti je njegovo viđenje hemije nedosledno, već je sadržaj spisa o vatri pre fizički nego hemijski predmet.
KANT I ŠLOSER: O SLUČAJU POVIŠENOG TONA U FILOZOFIJI
Authors: ATANASKOVIĆ LAZAR
Published: March 2022

Ovaj rad predstavlja čitanje Kantove rasprave sa Šloserom koje je usredsređeno na političke pretpostavke i implikacije ove polemike. Prema glavnoj tezi rada Kantovi tekstovi O nedavno povišenom nadmoćnom tonu u filozofiji i Najava uskoro dolazećeg večnog mira u filozofiji – čitani s obzirom na politički i društveni kontekst u kome nastaju – ne predstavljaju filozofsku raspravu u striktnom smislu, već raspravu između filozofa kao zagovornika građanskih političkih vrednosti i pisca čije delovanje u javnoj sferi dovodi u pitanje osnove na kojima počiva postojanje sloboda govora. Kroz ukazivanje na mesta iz tekstova polemike koja upućuju na političko-etički karakter preduslova filozofiranja u okviru slobodne javne sfere, pokazan je paralelizam između pretpostavljenih vrednosti građanske politike i vrednosti koje Kant pretpostavlja kao preduslove svake filozofske rasprave. Na kraju, čitanje upućuje na Kantov radikalni republikanizam u javnoj sferi, koji ne toleriše autoritet pojedinaca ili tradicije.
PROBLEM NAČINA POSTOJANJA KNJIŽEVNOG DELA KOD INGARDENA
Authors: STAMENKOVIĆ MIHAJLO
Published: March 2022

Problem načina postojanja književnog dela Ingarden postavlja u okvir šireg spora o načinu postojanja stvarnog sveta. Ako se ispostavi da svet književnih fenomena mora obitavati u čisto intencionalnom modusu bitka, i to kao egzemplar tog modusa, onda se stvarnom svetu (i predmetima koji mu pripadaju) može pripisivati jedino nekakav realni modus bitka. Cilj ovog teksta je da shodno Ingardenovoj osnovnoj motivaciji pročita (1) njegovo izlaganje problema načina postojanja književnog dela, ali iz perspektive (2) njegovih opštih egzistencijalno-ontoloških istraživanja. U odgovarajućim Ingardenovim knjigama, (1) temporalno nastupa znatno ranije i čini pripremu za (2). Mi obrćemo sled i primenjujemo (2) na (1), tj. afirmišemo ono (onto)logički ranije. Naš postupak je analitičko-sintetički. U rezultatu predlažemo jedno moguće pridavanje odgovarajućih Ingardenovih modusa čisto intencionalnog bitka književnom delu kao takvom (modus IVa) i predmetima predstavljenim u književnim delima (modus IVb).
A magyar rövid távú gazdaságstatisztikák története: a „gazdasági jelzőtáblától” a negyedéves szektorszámláig

Published: March 2022

A Statisztikai Szemlében közel száz év alatt megjelent tanulmányok segítségével jól körvonalazható a rövid távú gazdaságstatisztika, a konjunktúrakutatás és a negyedéves nemzeti számlák kialakulása, fejlődése Magyarországon. E három terület szervesen összefonódik, hiszen a konjunktúraciklus vizsgálatához és a negyedéves nemzeti számlák összeállításához rövid távú gazdaságstatisztikai adatok szükségesek, a nemzeti számlák kiemelt mutatója, a bruttó hazai termék (gross domestic product, GDP) pedig egyben konjunktúraindikátor is. Az 1920-as években bontakozott ki a konjunktúrakutatás, amely nagy mennyiségű rövid távú gazdaságstatisztikai adatra támasztott igényt. Ennek hatására indultak meg az országban a széles körű havi és negyedéves adatgyűjtések; rendszeres végrehajtásukban azonban törést okozott a második világháború és az azt követő átalakulás. A negyedéves nemzeti számlák kiemelt mutatóját, a negyedéves GDP volumenindexét csak 1996-ban publikálták először, amelyet megelőzött egy hosszú időszak, amikor az éves gazdasági teljesítményt az anyagi termelés és a nemzeti számlák rendszerének módszertana alapján egyaránt kiszámították. A hivatalos statisztika jelenlegi egyik legnagyobb kihívása, hogy minél gyorsabban, minél pontosabb képet adjon a gazdaság alakulásáról, különösen válságok esetén. Jelen tanulmány az elmúlt közel száz évet három korszakra bontva, az azokban keletkezett adatok és módszertani megoldások tükrében tekinti át, bemutatva a vizsgált időszakok legfontosabb negyedéves gazdaságstatisztikai kérdéseit.

Bu çalışma Türkiye’de Sakarya İli Kocaali İlçesi’nde üretim yapan fındık üreticilerinin iyi tarım uygulamaları (İTU) yaparak elde ettiği avantajların belirlenmesi ve İTU’nun fındık üretimine etkilerinin saptanması amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma alanı olarak, Kocaali İlçesi’nde fındık üretim faaliyetinde bulunan 524 üretici ile anket çalışması yapılmıştır. İTU kapsamında olan 262 üretici ve İTU kapsamında olmayan 262 üretici olmak üzere toplam 524 fındık üreticisi ile yüz yüze görüşülmüştür. Anket sorularıyla üreticilerin demografik özellikleri tespit edilerek, üreticilere, İTU kapsamında konu ile ilgili görüşleri (uygulamalardan nasıl haberdar oldukları, nasıl karar verdikleri, yaşadığı sorunlar vb) ve uygulanabilirliği, üretici nezdinde zorlukları, avantaj ve dezavantajları üzerine sorular yönlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, bölgede fındık üreticilerinin büyük bölümü (%66.4) 30 yıldan daha uzun süredir fındık yetiştiriciliği yapmaktadır. Fındık üreticilerinin %95.1’i ilköğretim ve lise düzeyinde eğitim görmüşlerdir. İTU kapsamında olan fındık üreticilerinin olmayanlara göre eğitim seviyeleri daha yüksektir. İTU yapan üreticilerin sisteme dahil olmalarının temel gerekçesinin maddi desteklerden faydalanabilmek (yaklaşık %98) olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. İTU kapsamında olmayanların yaklaşık %60’ı ise, pratikte uygulama imkânın olmaması, konu hakkında bilgilerinin olmaması ve her aşamada denetlendiği için sisteme dahil olmadıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Üreticilerin İTU ile birlikte üretim metotlarında, ilaçlama gübreleme gibi temel uygulamada daha bilinçli hareket ettikleri tespit edilmiştir. Zirai ilaç dolabı kullanımı, ecza dolabı kullanımı, ilaçlama maskesi kullanımı ve benzeri durumlarda İTU kapsamında olan üreticilerin İTU kapsamında olmayan üreticilere göre daha bilinçli olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Aynı zamanda, İTU yapan üreticilerin daha fazla fındık verimi elde ettiklerini beyan etmeleri bu sistemin oldukça yararlı olduğunu göstermiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, fındık üretiminde İTU’nun sürdürülebilir tarım açısından pekçok olumlu avantajlarını ortaya koymuştur.
How a cloud based platform can make ambulatory blood pressure monitoring more efficient, accessible, and evidence based
Authors: Padwal Raj S. , Wood Peter W. , Ringrose Jennifer S.
Published: March 2022

Ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) is the gold-standard method for blood pressure assessment. However, it is markedly underutilized, in part because legacy software provided with ABPM devices is archaic and inefficient. Herein, we illustrate an example of a recently developed cloud-based ABPM platform. Such a platform offers several distinct advantages: (1) the ability to guide users through the testing process; (2) synchronizing inputs of the technician, patient, physician, and administrative assistant so that testing can be successful and efficient; (3) providing guideline-concordant study interpretations that can be e-signed, reducing physician interpretation times; (4) enabling central expert oversight and peripheral deployment of testing, thereby increasing accessibility of quality testing; and (5) facilitating integration into electronic medical records, improving dissemination of results. It is envisioned that increased use of cloud-based ABPM platforms will lead to the expansion of quality ABPM testing, thus improving the care of patients with known or suspected hypertension.
Non-destructive methods for assessing smoke-derived compounds
Authors: Summerson Vasiliki , Gonzalez Viejo Claudia , Fuentes Sigfredo
Published: March 2022

Wildfires are an increasing occurrence throughout the world (Summerson et al., 2020). Grapevine smoke exposure can result in wines characterized by unpalatable smoke aromas. Current chromatographic techniques to assess levels of smoke-derived compounds in berries and wine are destructive, expensive to operate and time-consuming. This research assessed the use of near-infrared technology along with artificial neural network modelling as rapid, non-destructive, and cost-effective tools to assess smoke-derived compounds in berries, must and wine.
Extension spatio-temporelle du modèle chèvre INRA 2018 : 1. Application à l'alimentation en lots
Authors: SAUVANT Daniel , CHAPOUTOT Patrick , GIGER-REVERDIN Sylvie , BLUET Bertrand
Published: March 2022

Cette publication présente une démarche visant à aider à la gestion alimentaire des lots de chèvres laitières en s'appuyant sur le modèle individuel « chèvre » proposé par INRAE (INRA, 2018). Cette démarche consiste à s'appuyer sur des paramètres de la gestion des lots, en particulier sur le choix de l'animal cible qui est nourri à son potentiel. Ce choix permet i) de prédire les potentiels de production de chaque animal du lot en fonction des productions moyennes observées pour le lot et de la qualité des fourrages distribués, et ii) de prédire les réponses du lot en matière d'ingestion de concentrés et de fourrages, ainsi que de production de lait et de bilan nutritionnel, Outre l'animal cible, la chèvre moyenne, représentative de l'ensemble du lot, et la chèvre faible productrice, utilisée comme sentinelle pour des rations à risque, sont systématiquement prises en compte. Les démarches proposées sont applicables à différents contextes d'élevage. En particulier, elles peuvent être mises en œuvre pour établir une ration a priori ou bien pour analyser une ration constatée sur le terrain.
Les AOP et IGP fromagères Françaises face à la crise de la Covid-19 dans un contexte d’évolution des systèmes alimentaires
Authors: NAPOLÉONE Martine , BRETON Sébastien , FRAYSSIGNES Julien , RICHARD Mélanie , SPELLE Céline
Published: March 2022

En optant pour une approche pragmatique et empirique, cet article s’intéresse à la capacité de résilience des opérateurs (producteurs et transformateurs) et des collectifs AOP et IGP face à un choc tel que celui provoqué par la covid-19. À partir d’informations issues d’enquêtes réalisées par les organisations professionnelles auprès de leurs adhérents au moment de la crise au printemps 2020, complétées par des entretiens compréhensifs réalisés en avril 2021, nous étudions l’impact de la crise sur les AOP et la façon dont les acteurs ont réagi en mobilisant des leviers à l’échelle individuelle et collective. Les principaux leviers ont été la diversification des produits et des circuits, la substitution (stockage ou dégagement), la coopération (en interne ou avec les distributeurs) et la connectivité avec leurs réseaux. La crise a mis en lumière pour les AOP-IGP le fait que le terroir et la proximité ont été plébiscités sur tous les circuits (courts et longs). Ce constat renforce pour les organismes de défense et de gestion d’une part, l’importance de se différentier et de rendre lisible des engagements et des valeurs, et d’autre part, leur rôle de coordination en tant qu’acteur collectif pour valoriser la diversité des opérateurs permettant d’être présent sur les divers types de circuits et plus généralement pour s’adapter aux transitions des systèmes alimentaires.
Global Mangrove Deforestation and Its Interacting Social-Ecological Drivers: A Systematic Review and Synthesis
Authors: Bhowmik Avit K. , Padmanaban Rajchandar , Cabral Pedro , Romeiras Maria M.
Published: March 2022

Globally mangrove forests are substantially declining and a globally synthesized database of the drivers of deforestation and drivers’ interaction is scarce. Here we synthesized the key social-ecological drivers of global mangrove deforestation by reviewing about two hundred published scientific studies over the last four decades (from 1980 to 2021). Our focus was on both natural and anthropogenic drivers with gradual and abrupt impacts and their geographic ranges of effects and how these drivers interact. We also summarized the patterns of global mangrove coverage decline between 1990 and 2020 and identified the threatened mangrove species and their geographic ranges. Our consolidated studies reported a 8,600 km2 decline in the global mangrove coverage between 1990 and 2020 with the highest decline occurring in South and Southeast Asia (3870 km2). We could identify 11 threatened mangrove species, two of which are critically endangered (Sonneratia griffithii and Bruguiera hainseii). Our reviewed studies pointed to aquaculture and agriculture as the predominant driver of global mangrove deforestation though the spatial distribution of their impacts varied. Gradual climate variations, i.e. seal-level rise, long-term precipitation and temperature changes and driven coastline erosion, constitute the second major group of drivers. Our findings underline a strong interaction across natural and anthropogenic drivers with the strongest interaction between the driver groups aquaculture and agriculture and industrialization and pollution. Our results suggest prioritizing globally coordinated empirical studies linking drivers and mangrove changes and a global development of policies for mangrove conservation.

Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is one of the common ventricular arrhythmias, which may cause stroke or sudden cardiac death. Automatic long-term electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis algorithms could provide diagnosis suggestion even early warning for physicians, however, they are mutually-exclusive in terms of robustness, generalization and low complexity. In this study, a novel PVC recognition algorithm that combines deep learning-based heartbeat template clusterer and expert system-based heartbeat classifier is proposed. Long short-term memory-based auto-encoder (LSTM-AE) network was used to extract features from ECG heartbeats for K-means clustering. Thus, the templates were constructed and determined based on clustering results. Finally, the PVC heartbeats were recognized based on a combination of multiple rules, including template matching and rhythm characteristics. Three quantitative parameters, sensitivity (Se), positive predictive value (P+) and accuracy (ACC), were used to evaluate the performances of the proposed method on the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database and the St. Petersburg Institute of Cardiological Technics database. Se on the two test databases was 87.51% and 87.92%, respectively; P+ was 92.47% and 93.18%, respectively; and ACC was 98.63% and 97.89%, respectively. The PVC scores on the 3rd China Physiological Signal Challenge 2020 training set and hidden test set were 36,256 and 46,706, respectively, which could rank first in the open-source codes. The results showed that the combination strategy of expert system and deep learning can provide new insights for robust and generalized PVC identification from long-term single-lead ECG recordings.

Needlestick and other sharp injuries (NSIs) are critical occupational hazard for healthcare workers. Exposure to blood and body fluids through NSIs increases the risk of transmission of blood-borne pathogens among them. The objectives of this study were to estimate the one-year incidence of NSIs and investigate its associated factors among the healthcare workers in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted between October and November 2021. A total of 361 healthcare workers participated in the survey from all over Saudi Arabia. The one-year incidence of NSIs among healthcare workers is estimated at 22.2%. More than half of the injury event (53.8%) was not reported to the authority by the healthcare worker. Incidence of NSIs was highest among the physicians (36%) and is followed by nurses (34.8%), dentists (29.2%), and medical technologists (21.1%). The likelihood of injury is higher (OR: 2.51; 95% CI: 1.04, 6.03) among the works aged 26 – 30 years compared to the 20 – 25 years age group and the workers directly deal with needles or other sharp objects while working (OR: 5.90; 2.69, 12.97). The high incidence rate of injury and low reporting rate highlight the needs of an education program targeting healthcare providers with higher risk.
Sickness Behaviour and Depression: An Updated Model of Peripheral-Central Immunity Interactions

Published: March 2022

Current lines of research into mood disorders indicate that immune mediators participating in the pathophysiology of chronic somatic disorders have potent influences on brain functions, even when these mediators are produced in peripheral tissues. Elevated levels of circulating immune molecules have been consistently associated with depressive symptoms in a number of clinical populations and experimental models, to the extent that major depressive disorder (MDD) is now seen, at least in part, as a disorder of immunity. This paradigm has brought to the fore the use of anti-inflammatory therapies as adjunctive to standard antidepressant therapy with the hope to improve treatment efficacy, particularly in those cohorts that do not respond well to standard medication. Such new practice requires the availability of biomarkers to tailor these new therapies to those most likely to benefit but also clear mechanisms of action describing the interaction between peripheral immunity and brain function. These mechanisms are generally studied in preclinical models that try to recapitulate the human disease through peripherally induced sickness behaviour as the model for immune-induced MDD. After an appraisal of the data in rodent models and their adherence to the data in clinical cohorts, we propose a modified model of periphery-brain interaction that goes beyond the currently established view of interaction between peripheral cytokines and microglia cells as the driver of depression. Instead, we suggest that brain barriers are primary actors in the communication between body and brain and, as a consequence, in the pathophysiology of the disease. This model suggests novel biomarkers, novel targets for therapies as well as a novel mechanism for resistance to standard treatments.

Autophagy is a cellular homeostatic process by which cells degrade and recycle their malfunctioned contents, and impairment in this process leads to Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. Dioscin, a steroidal saponin, has induced autophagy in several cell lines and animal models. The role of dioscin-mediated autophagy in PD remains to be investigated. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the hypothesis that dioscin-regulated autophagy and autophagy-related genes (ATG) could protect neuronal cells in PD via reducing apoptosis and enhancing neurogenesis. In this study, the 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+) were used to induce neurotoxicity and impair autophagic flux in a human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y). The result showed that dioscin pre-treatment counters MPP+-mediated autophagic flux impairment and alleviates MPP+-induced apoptosis by downregulating activated caspase-3 and Bax expression while increasing Bcl-2 expression. In addition, dioscin pre-treatment was found to increase neurotrophic factors and tyrosine hydroxylase expression, suggesting that dioscin could ameliorate MPP+-induced degeneration in dopaminergic neurons and benefit the PD model. Interestingly, the neuroprotective activities of dioscin were suppressed when co-treated with chloroquine (CQ), an autophagosome-lysosome inhibitor. In summary, we showed dioscin’s neuroprotective activity in neuronal SH-SY5Y cells might be partly related to its autophagy induction and suppression of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

Hydroponics is a forage cultivation technique that is suitable to be applied to overcome the constraints of climate dependence and land availability. Forage that is cultivated hydroponically is often called green fodder hydroponic. Sorghum is a plant that has the potential to be developed as a hydroponic green fodder because it grows well in tropical environments and is efficient in producing photosynthetic products. This study aims to determine the content and production of Dry Matter (DM) and Crude Protein (CP) sorghum green fodder hydroponic. The study was conducted experimentally with a completely randomized design. The collected data were analyzed using Duncan's Test. The treatments were harvesting ages of 7 days, 10 days and 13 days, then measured the production of fresh ingredients, DM content, DM production, CP content, and CP production. The results showed that the longer the age of harvest significantly (p>0.05) increased the content of DM and CP but significantly (p>0.05) decreased the production of fresh ingredients and the production of DM The results of CP production showed that the longer the age of harvest was not significant (p<0.05). In conclusion, the long harvesting age of hydroponic sorghum green fodder causes an increase in the content of DM and CP, but decreases the production of fresh ingredients and the production of DM

Published: March 2022

Case:

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is associated with severe flexion contracture of the knees disabling a patient's ability to walk. Although various treatment modalities are available in the literature, we report a 2-stage procedure in a case of a 22-year-old female JRA patient with bilateral severe flexion deformity of the knee: stage 1—correction of the flexion contracture deformity by ring fixators and stage 2—total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for arthritis. To the best of our knowledge, no such approach has been reported previously.

Conclusions:

An Ilizarov ring fixator is a safe technique for gradual correction of a severe flexion deformity. Subsequent TKA can be performed as a standard procedure.

Published: March 2022

Case:

We present a severe hemophilia A patient with high titers of inhibitors presenting stage IV knee arthropathy with functional bilateral arthrodesis. On presentation, his mode of ambulation was to project himself forward without the benefit of any significant ankle motion. Total knee arthroplasty was performed on both knees and allowed significant improvement in the range of motion of both knees from 5° to 100°.

Conclusion:

Although hemophilic patients with inhibitors can represent complex cases, successful outcomes can be achieved in a multidisciplinary team setting. However, we would recommend performing this type of surgery at an earlier stage when less extensive muscle and tendon release is required.

Authors: Sager Alora F. , Carolan Patrick L. , Georgiadis Andrew G. , Laine Jennifer C.
Published: March 2022

Cases:

This case report describes 3 pediatric patients presenting with acute calf or knee pain, calf swelling, and a ruptured popliteal cyst diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging. Lyme disease was serologically confirmed in each case. In all instances, treatment was delayed because of atypical presentation. All patients responded favorably after antibiotic therapy.

Conclusion:

The differential diagnosis of Lyme disease should be considered in the context of children presenting with atraumatic unilateral calf pain and a ruptured popliteal cyst. Otherwise, this unusual presentation could delay diagnosis or result in unnecessary surgical intervention, particularly in pediatric patients.
