Published: March 2021

Objective: To select cases of bilateral breast carcinoma (BBC) of patients seen at Hospital de Clínicas of Paraná, besides recognizing clinical and family characteristics, histological and immunohistochemical pattern, and incidences of synchronic/metachronic tumor in these patients. Method: Observational and analytical study of BBC cases of patients treated at Hospital de Clínicas of Paraná, from 2003 to 2019, developed from the analysis of medical records. Result: A total of 42 patients with BBC were selected. The incidence of BBC was 3.64%. All patients were women, mostly of white skin color and postmenopausal, with an average age of 51.82 years. Half patients showed a positive family history for cancer, with breast cancer present in 46%, ovarian cancer in 16%, and other topographies in 68%. In this sample, the synchronous tumor was present in 55% of patients, and the metachronous tumor, in 45%. Regarding patients’ initial clinical staging, 61% had a locally advanced tumor at diagnosis. Both in the group of synchronic and metachronic tumors, the ductal subtype was the most frequent. Regarding the immunohistochemical subtype, patients in both groups had Luminal B tumors more frequently. In the group of metachronic tumors, the average time between the diagnosis of the first tumor and the second tumor was 5.68 years. Conclusion: In this sample, BBC is associated with a relevant family history, with a synchronic presentation pattern, from histology to ductal and immunohistochemistry to Luminal B as the most frequent.
Prevalence and patterns of chronic communicable and non-communicable diseases multimorbidity in sub-Saharan Africa: protocol for a systematic review
Authors: Disang Mpho R , Weller David , Campbell Christine
Published: March 2021

Background

The burden of multimorbidity is rising globally. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the growing prevalence of non-communicable diseases alongside the already existing high burden of chronic communicable diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) presents a complex form of multimorbidity relative to patterns observed in high income countries. There is a gap in understanding the true burden of multimorbidity in SSA, in particular at interface of chronic communicable and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The primary objective of this systematic review is to identify, evaluate and summarise the evidence on the prevalence and patterns of chronic communicable and NCDs multimorbidity in SSA.

Methods and analysis

This protocol was developed in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. A comprehensive search will be conducted on selected electronic databases including Medline, Embase, African Journals Online, based on a predefined search strategy for observational studies reporting primary data on multimorbidity from any country in the SSA region. Additionally, we will explore grey literature databases and check reference lists of included studies. Study selection, assessment of quality of included studies and data extraction will be carried out independently by two reviewers. A narrative synthesis will be conducted and meta-analysis will be carried out where applicable.

Conclusion

The proposed systematic review will provide insights into the interface of chronic communicable diseases and NCDs in SSA. We expect this will provide additional insights into the true picture of multimorbidity in the region and assist policy makers to design appropriate prevention and management strategies. This review does not require ethical approval. Upon completion, it will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals, and disseminated through relevant academic conferences.

Using Google Trends to assess COVID-19 related web search behaviour in Arabian Peninsula
Authors: Ajbar Aymane , Boumaaza Mourad , Ajbar Abdelhamid M
Published: March 2021

Background

The relatively small, populated countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates) of the Arabian Peninsula have recorded high per-capita COVID-19 infection rates. These countries also have a high internet penetrance rate with a large Google share. Google Trends is a freely accessible online tool that allows the user to analyze trends in public Google searches during a given period and across a specified region. This paper investigates the use of this tool to study public awareness of COVID-19 in the selected countries.

Methods

The information sought by the public in the selected countries was grouped into three categories: (i) Coronavirus search item, (ii) COVID-19 symptoms, and (iii) protection measures. Data from Google Trends were analyzed using Joinpoint software. This approach enabled searches with a meaningful trend to be delineated and allowed them to be ranked by order of importance.

Results

Overall, public interest in COVID-19 was found to be associated with seven symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, headache, loss of smell, shortness of breath, and chest pain), and four preventive measures (social distancing, quarantine, hand sanitizers, and masks). However, Google trends found some disparities between the studied countries.

Conclusions

Despite its limitations, Google Trends can be useful in uncovering the major areas of public interest in COVID-19 for countries with high internet penetrance rates. Data from Google Trends could be used as part of a health communication strategy to identify information needs and establish appropriate communication strategies to tackle the pandemic.

Covid-19 knowledge graphs in Health Communication and Information
Authors: Iliadis Andrew
Published: March 2021

This commentary discusses recent developments in ‘knowledge graph’ technology over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic. Recently experiencing a surge in popularity, knowledge graphs are technologies that assist with data integration through structured metadata modeling. Researchers tag and collate vast amounts of diverse data using knowledge graphs, yet problems related to semantic drift and more salient issues related to the political economy of information and communication technologies persist. Researchers should anticipate that the semantics of these Covid-19 knowledge graphs can change over time. Equally important, researchers should also consider all stakeholders involved, including those stakeholders that might be excluded.

Authors: Nwofor Chioma N  , Oyeka Christie A  , Onyenwe Nathaniel E  , Fajana Aqib
Published: March 2021

The research study was to understudy the qualitative and quantitative phytochemical compounds and antifungal activity of methanolic extracts of Jatropha multifida, Euphorbia hirta, Occimum gratissimum and Mitracarpus scaber leaves against 12 species of fungi. The 8 phytochemical compounds tested were saponin, phenol, tannin, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoid, alkaloid and glycoside. The antifungi sensitivity test was analysed by Kirby-bauer disc diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) was analysed by broth tube dilution method followed by subculturing the relative samples. The plant extracts were prepared in the concentration range of 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50,100 and 200 mg/ml. The antifungal sensitivity test showed that Jatropha multifida (200mg/ml) was weakly effective against Fusarium solani and resistant against others. Occimum gratissimum, Euphorbia hirta and Mitracarpus scaber at (200mg/ml) respectively was highly effective on most of the fungi species tested with zone of inhibition of 10-20mm. Jatropha multifida had MIC and MFC (>200mg/ml), Occimum gratissimum had MIC and MFC (100 and >100mg/ml), Euphorbia hirta (25-200 and 50 - >200mg/ml) and Mitracarpus scaber had (25 - 100 and 50-200mg/ml) on most test isolates respectively. Investigations showed, Mitracarpus scaber were highly effective, followed by Euphorbia hirta, Occimum gratissimum and Jatropha multifida on the test organisms and could be attributed to the presence of phytochemical compounds and as such can be harnessed and used as a source of alternative medicine especially in the tropics like the South-eastern Nigeria.

Introduction and objective: Sickle cell disease is an inherited pathology to an abnormality of hemoglobin precisely hemoglobin S for which there is no curative therapy. It mainly affects sub-Saharan African and Caribbean populations. Thus, this study aims to make the phytochemical screening of Cremaspora triflora and Macaranga schweinfurthii as well as to evaluate the antisickling activity of their purified alkaloids. Methodology: Chemical screening was performed using color and precipitation tests as well as the foam index method. The extraction of the alkaloids was carried out with organic solvents in a basic medium while the purification by open column chromatography. The evaluation of the antisickling activity was carried out by Emmel’s test. Results: The chemical screening highlighted alkaloids, steroids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids in the species studied. Flavonoids and anthocyanins were present in organs of Macaranga schweinfurthii, but absent in Cremaspora triflora. The extraction showed that Macaranga schweinfurthii leaves contained 0.59% alkaloids and 0.73% alkaloids in Cremaspora triflora leaves. The alkaloids purification allowed to obtain an alkaloidal fraction MS1 (1.24 g, 70.05%) from Macaranga schweinfurthii and two fractions [CT2 (0.934 g, 63.97%) and CT3 (0.006 g, 0.41 %)] from Cremaspora triflora which tested positive with Dragendorff and Wagner reagents. The antisickling activity evaluation showed that the SIR varied between 36.00% (0.25 mg/ml) and 90.66% (1 mg/ml) for the alkaloid solutions of Cremaspora triflora (IC50 of 0.51 mg/ml) as well as between 4.00% (0.25 mg/ml) and 33.33% (1 mg/ml) for the alkaloid solutions of Macaranga schweinfurthii (IC50 of 1.40 mg/ml). Conclusion: This study showed that the purified alkaloids of the studied plant species have an inhibitory power on sickling.

This study was carried out to evaluate the aphrodisiac and antioxidant activities of aqueous and methanolic extracts of two plants used as aphrodisiac in traditional medicine in Kampemba municipality, in Lubumbashi DR Congo. Aqueous and methanolic root bark extracts of both Albizia adianthifolia and Pericopsis angolensis were administered orally to male Cavia porcellus before evaluating their physical behavior in the presence of females and their testosterone, cholesterol and triglyceride contents. The antioxidant activity was determined by the DPPH method. At 200 and 250 mg kg-1 body weight (bw), the extracts exhibited a decrease in rise time and intromission time and an increase in ejaculation time, ascending frequency, intromission frequency, ejaculation frequency and testosterone compared to the control group that received sildenafil (10 mg kg-1 bw) used as a reference. A positive relationship between testosterone level and antioxidant activity has also been observed. The aphrodisiac and antioxidant activity observed in the two species justify their uses in traditional medicine as aphrodisiacs. Further work is needed in order to proceed to the isolation and the identification of the active compounds.
Prevalence of the HDI: Alternative consideration of employment factors from 30 OECD countries
Authors: Lestari Diana , Darma Dio Caisar , Setini Made , Purwadi P.
Published: March 2021

The HDI has played an influential role in the debate on human development for many years. However, no index is perfect in the HDI. It can be argued that the current HDI does not totally reflect human development performance, and thus proper rankings for some countries. Therefore, this article aims to construct a new composite index for the development performance of a sample of 30 organizations for OECD countries by adding a fourth indicator, namely the employment rate to the calculation of HDI. Including employment factors in HDI as a new indicator has not only made the index more comprehensive but also presented a more suitable dimension for assessing the development performance of countries. By considering these factors, it is hoped that people will get a decent income in order to achieve a level of welfare.

Published: March 2021

The biological and organoleptic properties of Bulgarian yogurt are largely determined by the metabolic activity of the selected strains of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus. The HS-SPME-GC-MS technique was used to analyze the volatile compounds produced by the following strains: Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus MG1, MG2, MG3 MG4, MG5 MG6, MG7 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus MG8. A study to optimize the conditions of SPME was performed. The optimum extraction of the aromatic components was obtained at an extraction temperature of 50 °C and a process duration of 50 minutes. In total, 49 volatile flavor compounds, forming the aromatic profile of the obtained fermented milk, were identified. The production of acetaldehyde, 2,3-butanedione, 2-acetylfuran, 2-nonanone, 2-heptanone and 2-undecanone, pentanoic and octanoic acid, 3-carnene, undecane, dodecane, tridecane and tetradecane was detected for all strains. The only strain that produced acetoin was Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus MG7.
Application of the descriptor-profile method in modeling the recipes of a preserved food using sprouted grain and malt extract
Authors: Mikulinich Marina , Guzikova Natalia
Published: March 2021

The article reflects the possibilities of using the descriptor-profile method in modeling recipes of functional food products taking into account the consumer preferences. Preserved foods using sprouted bare-grained oats or wheat and barley-malt extract served as samples for research. The simulation of the consumer preferences of the preserved product was carried out using a descriptor-profile method of tasting analysis. There were thirty-two features of descriptors identified for assessing organoleptic indicators and emotional customers’ perception of the product. A visual model of the consumer preferences of the preserved product was formed. The intensity and significance of each descriptor were determined. Influence of share of sprouted grain and malt extract on consumer preferences of preserved product was studied. Increasing the share of sprouted grain in the product reduced the coverage of the grain with the extract, the pallor and hardness of the grain, the intensity of brown color and the presence of malt-apple aroma. An "ideal" portrait of the product has been developed taking into account the strengths and weaknesses of the product, allowing to design organoleptic indicators at the stage of product development. High consumer preferences of the preserved product – a harmonious sweet taste with slight sourness, malt-apple-honey aroma, moderate grain hardness, lack of bitterness, – were achieved with 40% – 50% sprouted grain and 50% – 60% extract.

Tools for Public Health Policy: Nudges and Boosts as Active Support of the Law in Special Situations such as the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Krawiec Jakub Maciej , Piaskowska Olga , Piesiewicz Piotr , Białaszek Wojciech
Published: March 2021

In recent years, “nudging” has become a standard behavioral intervention at the individual level and for thedesign of social policies. Although nudges are effective, such interventions seem to be limited to a given spaceand time, and there is only scant evidence to support the contrary view. On the other hand, choice architects mayutilize another type of intervention called “boosting,” which shows the promise of generalized and lastingbehavioral change. The government can use these tools to shape public policy. Behavioral interventions such aspolicy-making tools have their boundaries, as does the law. We argue that nudging and boosting may serve asactive aids in support of the legal system under certain circumstances. Nudging and boosting can also supportthe legal system especially in relation to emerging social issues or events that are unprecedented, such as therecent COVID-19 pandemic, where certain behavioral patterns are expected, but it would be hard or impossibleto enforce them through the law alone.
Cross-sectional and Longitudinal AUD Symptom Networks: They Tell Different Stories
Authors: Conlin William , Hoffman Michaela , Steinley Douglas , Sher Kenneth J.
Published: March 2021

Modern theoretical models of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) highlight the different functional roles played by various mechanisms associated with different symptoms. Symptom network models (SNMs) offer one approach to modeling AUD symptomatology in a way that could reflect these processes and provide important information on the progression and persistence of disorder. However, much of the research conducted using SNMs relies on cross-sectional data, which has raised questions regarding the extent they reflect dynamic processes. The current study aimed to (a) examine symptom networks of AUD and search for core symptoms of the disorder and (b) compare the extent to which cross-sectional network models had similar structures and interpretations as longitudinal network models. 17,360 participants from Wave 1 (2001-2002) and Wave 2 (2003-2004) of the National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) were used to model cross-sectional and longitudinal AUD symptom networks. The cross-sectional analyses demonstrate high replicability across waves and central symptoms consistent with other cross-sectional studies on addiction networks. The longitudinal networks do not resemble the cross-sectional networks, having substantially different structure and interpretations. Moreover, prospective and retrospective longitudinal models revealed similar structures. The longitudinal networks indicate that, cardinal features (e.g., compulsion, withdrawal) may be primary symptoms, while low frequency, high severity symptoms (e.g., giving up important activities) may be secondary features indicative of advanced AUD. We conclude that cross-sectional networks should be interpreted cautiously and researchers should increase focus on longitudinal network models.
On the disposition to think analytically: Four distinct intuitive-analytic thinking styles
Authors: Newton Christie , Feeney Justin , Pennycook Gordon
Published: March 2021

Many measures have been developed to index intuitive versus analytic thinking. Yet it remains an open question whether people primarily vary along a single dimension or if there are genuinely different types of thinking styles. We distinguish between four distinct types of thinking styles: Actively Open-minded Thinking, Close-minded Thinking, Preference for Intuitive Thinking, and Preference for Effortful Thinking. We discovered strong predictive validity across several outcome measures (e.g., epistemically suspect beliefs, bullshit receptivity, empathy, moral judgments), with some subscales having stronger predictive validity for some outcomes but not others. Furthermore, Actively Open-minded Thinking, in particular, strongly outperformed the Cognitive Reflection Test in predicting misperceptions about COVID-19 and the ability to discern between vaccination-related true and false news. Our results indicate that people do, in fact, differ along multiple dimensions of intuitive-analytic thinking styles and that these dimensions have consequences for understanding a wide range of beliefs and behaviors.
Global Distributions of Capital and Labor Incomes: Capitalization of the Global Middle Class
Authors: Ranaldi Marco
Published: March 2021

This article studies global distributions of capital and labor income among individuals in 2000 and 2016. By constructing a novel database covering approximately the 80% of the global output and the 60% of the world population, two major findings stand out. First, the world underwent a spectacular process of capitalization. The share of world individuals with positive capital income rose from 20% to 32%. Second, the global middle class benefited the most, in relative terms, from such capitalization process. In China, the average growth rate of capital income was 20 times higher than in western economies. The global composition of capital and labor income is, therefore, more equal today than it was twenty years ago, and the world is moving towards a global multiple-sources-of-income society.

Authors: Khadka Samjhana , Jha Anamika , Chaudhary Ranjit Kumar , Shrestha Shanta Lall
Published: March 2021

Introduction: Mammography is one of the most commonly performed radiological investigations for evaluation of breast cancer. As it involves ionizing radiation, there remains a risk of radiation induced cancer. In this study, we evaluated compressed breast thickness (CBT) and mean glandular dose (MGD) during routine mammography.
Methods: This prospective study was performed in the Department of Radiology and Imaging of TUTH. Data of 500 consecutive patients who underwent mammography over a period of 4 months (June 2018 to September 2018) was collected. The age, CBT and MGD were recorded. Pearson correlation and paired-t tests were performed.
Results: Most of the patients belonged to 41-50 years age group. MGD was significantly higher in patients with increased CBT. The CBT and MGD was higher in MLO view compared to CC views. The mean value of total MGD for four views was 5.1±1.4 mGy. There was significant positive correlation (r= 0.517) between CBT and MGD with increase in MGD with increase in CBT.
Conclusions: The MGD and dose equivalent in our routine mammography is within the recommended limits. MGD increases with increasing CBT and vice-versa. Hence, decreasing the thickness of compressed breast, can decrease the amount of radiation absorbed by the glandular tissue of the breast.
«Крутые галсы» российского переводоведения

Published: March 2021

Современный научный дискурс при всей строгости и терминологичности научного изложения допускает и некоторую метафоричность в тех случаях, когда образ способствует более полному пониманию сущности предмета мысли. Оглядывая многовековую историю размышлений о переводе писателей, философов, литературных критиков, нельзя не заметить явного лавирования научной мысли, подталкиваемой желанием либо найти идеальные способы совершенного перевода, либо оправдать его онтологическое несовершенство, крутых разворотов от одних крайностей к другим. Становление науки о переводе в России наглядно иллюстрирует этот тезис.
In Their Own Words: Student Key Learning Experiences in an Introductory Evaluation Course
Authors: LaVelle John M. , Yang Zhou
Published: March 2021

Abstract: Reflections by students on their key learning experiences in evaluation courses can provide useful data for educators seeking to identify the most impactful aspects of their teaching practice. In this practice note we describe how an instructor has included active reflective practice as part of their teaching practice, and how both the instructor and a graduate student analyzed other student reflections on key learning experiences to help improve the course. We first analyze these reflections using grounded theory, then perform two additional analyses, one using Fink’s taxonomy of significant learning and the second using both the Canadian Evaluation Society’s Competencies for Canadian Evaluation Practice and the American Evaluation Association’s Competencies framework. We conclude by reflecting on how the frameworks provided helpful data to understand and improve the practice of teaching evaluation through the lens of the student learner.
Pinpointing Where to Start: A Reflective Analysis on the Introductory Evaluation Course
Authors: Pitts Robyn Thomas
Published: March 2021

Abstract: This reflective analysis details four approaches to an introductory course for evaluation learners within a methodologically focused graduate-level program on statistics, measurement, and research design. Evidence of student learning outcomes, or SLOs, was utilized within Gibbs’ reflective cycles to redesign the course using Fink’s integrated course design process. The purpose of each approach varied along a theory-practice continuum, including theory, theory-to-practice, practice, and evidence building. The purpose, SLOs, and learning experiences of each approach are accompanied by longitudinal reflections on evaluation learners, course purposes, and the creation of a multi-course learning progression. This exploration offers perspectives and lessons learned that may assist new and experienced instructors in determining how an introductory course may best fit the learning needs of their students.

Повстання 1648 року у інтерпретаціях польських істориків кінця ХІХ ст. – 1939 р.
Authors: Чава Ігор
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this article is to study the peculiarities of depicting the events of the first year of the national liberation war under the leadership of B. Khmelnytsky in the Polish historical science at the end XIXth century - 1939, and in particular the battles near Zhovti Vody, Korsun, Pyliavtsi, the siege of the Cossack-Tatar troops of Lviv; investigate various historical myths, stereotypes and evaluation patterns used by Polish historians in depicting the events of Khmelnytsky region; analyze the influences of historiographical concepts, cultural trends and political ideologies on the image of the history of the Polish-Cossack war in 1648. Methodology of the research: the work was based on such principles as historicism and scientific objectivity. Both general scientific (systematization, typology, retrospection) and a number of special historical methods (critical analysis and synthesis of source material, historical-genetic, historical-comparative, etc.) were used. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that a systematic analysis of the depiction of the events of Khmelnytsky region in 1648 in the Polish historiography of the end XIXth century – 1939 was done in this article for the first time in domestic science and the influences of political ideas on the interpretation of historical material were analysed by scientists. Conclusions. The history of the first year of the national liberation war of Ukrainians under the leadership of B. Khmelnytsky attracted considerable attention of Polish researchers and was considered as one of the cornerstones of the history of the Commonwealth, and especially of the Polish-Ukrainian relations. Due to the severity of the events, they were overgrown with various historical myths and were often interpreted through the prism of political conditions and various ideological trends. Thus, the symbolic meaning was given to the battle of Yellow Waters, which historians saw as the last battle of the Polish people for possession of the Black Sea steppes. The influence of the concept of "Poland's stronghold of Christianity" and the ideas of inter-civilizational struggle on the events of the Polish-Cossack war is revealed.
Évaluation des propriétés conservatrices des extraits des racines d’Echium vulgare et de Fredolia aretioides dans des formulations de shampoing avec et sans EDTA
Authors: Bentabet N. , Boucherit K. , Boucherit-Otmani Z. , Rahmoun N.
Published: March 2021

Les conservateurs sont des produits chimiques ajoutés aux produits cosmétiques pour les protéger contre toutes contaminations microbiennes qui se produisent lors de la fabrication ou pendant leurs usages par les consommateurs.

Dans notre travail nous avons examiné l’efficacité de conservation des extraits des racines de Fredolia aretioides et d’Echium vulgare dans trois types de formulations de shampoing.

L’incorporation des extraits des flavonoïdes 1-butanol ou l’acétate d’éthyle des racines d’Echium vulgare à une concentration finale de 1 % dans nos formulations de shampoing a induit une réduction des inocula. Il est important de noter que les shampoings ainsi préparés sont conservés contre la prolifération des bactéries et des levures et répondent par conséquent, au critère A de la Pharmacopée européenne. Au contraire, comme pour les bactéries et les levures, le shampoing sans conservateur était un bon substrat de croissance.

De nombreuses publications ont rapporté l’effet synergique de l’EDTA avec des conservateurs synthétiques ou naturels. Les résultats que nous avons obtenus ont montré que cet agent chélateur utilisé à une concentration finale de 1 %, améliore nettement le pouvoir conservateur des deux extraits testés. La réduction des inocula est estimée à 103 au 7e jour du test sans aucune augmentation au 14e et 28e jours pour les bactéries et à 102 au 14e jour du test sans aucune augmentation au 28e jour pour les levures.
