A CASE STUDY COMPARING GOOD PRACTICE IN THE USE OF PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCES IN HOLOCAUST EDUCATION IN ENGLAND AND REPUBLIKA SRPSKA
Authors: Kovač Danilo
Published: February 2022

The aim of this study is to analyze good practice in teaching about the Holocaust, comparing the use of pedagogical resources in Republika Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and England (United Kingdom). The paper compares the use of three types of pedagogical resources used in history classes: fictional films, documentaries, and photographs of Holocaust atrocities. Comparison is drawn between a developing and post-conflict society (Republika Srpska) and the well-established and reputable English educational system. By cross-referencing teachers’ and students’ answers, the paper attempts to identify good practice of notable value to be shared and exchanged. The research method firstly incorporated questionnaires, followed by interviews and then lesson observation. Data revealed that teachers in both education systems do not appear to consider all the educational benefits of film screening. The way teachers from England use pictures of Holocaust atrocities and organization of school trips seem to be applicable to the context of Republika Srpska, as well as being useful for classroom practitioners beyond these two education systems.

Negação da realidade histórica: Racismo Reverso entre Colonialidade, Direito e Diferença
Authors: Azevedo Maria Cândida Simon , Damasceno Maira
Published: February 2022

A emergência de demandas por reconhecimento e redistribuição passam a fazer parte dos ordenamentos jurídicos, especialmente latino-americanos. Por outro lado, movimentos de reafirmação da hegemonia eurocêntrica começam a tomar forma a partir da perversão das construções jurídicas historicamente estabelecidas em favor de minorias, a exemplo do que vem sendo chamado de racismo reverso. Partindo de uma abordagem pós-estruturalista e decolonial, o presente artigo pretendeu compreender: de que forma o Direito (brasileiro) deve lidar com a ideia de racismo reverso? Para responder ao questionamento proposto, o texto foi separado em duas partes, que objetivaram, respectivamente, compreender de que forma e porque o crime de racismo surgiu, estabelecendo as bases para a análise de uma decisão judicial da Justiça Federal de Goiânia/GO, e realizar uma análise crítica da decisão judicial que julgou o suposto crime de racismo reverso, assim como dos possíveis motivos que levaram o Ministério Público Federal a proceder com a denúncia. Ao final, foi possível concluir que o Direito deve tratar a ideia de racismo reverso como ela é, inexistente. O Direito deve abraçar a diferença inscrita em grupos historicamente desfavorecidos, sob pena de continuar perpetuando uma hierarquia sem fundamento e em descompasso com a realidade das relações sociais.
Unindo pontas soltas: racismo institucional, letalidade policial e sistema de justiça
Authors: Da Silva Ferreira Poliana
Published: February 2022

este artigo apresenta uma leitura teórica dos mecanismos jurídicos utilizados pelo Estado brasileiro para tratar a letalidade policial, a partir da operacionalização do conceito de racismo institucional. A revisão de literatura tem apontado que, embora os estudos sobre o uso da força pelas polícias e os respectivos meios de responsabilização dos atores implicados tenham avançado na descrição dos efeitos do arranjo institucional implementado para lidar com a violência policial letal, estes mesmos estudos pouco aportaram à compreensão das possíveis relações entre o racismo e as maneiras através das quais o país escolheu tratar a letalidade policial. O texto se beneficia dos resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida em São Paulo, que utiliza análise documental como técnica para coleta de dados. A análise dos materiais coletados, valorizando-se o lugar de observação da pesquisadora e a literatura especializada, permitiu constatar que, para além do quantitativo exacerbado de mortos vítimas da violência policial letal serem majoritariamente negros – o que tem normalizado a matança – , o descompromisso do Estado brasileiro em produzir dados sobre raça e a fragmentação de respostas institucionais alheias umas às outras são fatores que autorizam a sustentação da existência de uma “falha coletiva” na prestação jurisdicional quando a polícia mata.

Authors: Mohamadou Salamatou , Bayoï James Ronald , Djoulde Roger Darman , Tatsadjieu Leopold Ngoune
Published: February 2022

This study aimed to evaluate the quality and antimicrobial activity of soaps and ointments enriched with aqueous ethanol extracts from barks of Ziziphus mauritiana and Ziziphus mucronata. The galenic formulation allowed the development of ointments as well as soap based on aqueous ethanol extract (70%, v/v) using some excipients. The consistency of the ointments was slightly hard but softens immediately on contact with the skin. The preparation method allowed to get a very good homogeneity with a regular distribution of the extracts. The ointments were stable and no changes on the surface was observed. The ointments were found slight acidic, with pH values varying from 5 to 5.59. It was noticed that enriched soaps displayed neutral pH values neutral varying from 7.28 to 7.49. Moreover, the soap enriched with Z. mauritiana (84%) was more foaming in saline environment than that enriched with Z. mucronata (61.53%). Both bark extract-enriched ointments and soaps displayed excellent antimicrobial activity against fungi and bacteria found on the skin and hands.

Enhancing Quality of Healthcare and Patient Safety: Oversight of Physician Assistants, Nurses, and Pharmacists in Era of COVID-19 and Beyond
Authors: Park Lauren W , Dr. Amar Gupta
Published: February 2022

In the age of digitization, telemedicine services are utilized more than ever, and this trend affects healthcare as well. Although the utilization of technology serves as a benefit in allowing more access to care, COVID-19 has identified some of the weaknesses and discrepancies of the system. The increase in usage of technology has shed light on and increased the severity of the gaps in the regulatory and legal infrastructure overseeing this rapid growth. We aim to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the telemedicine healthcare system, as well as address the frequent misconduct that occurs between patients and their nurses, pharmacists, and physician assistants, in order to highlight the necessity of a standardized method of reporting misconduct on an international, national, state, county, and local level. Our findings should alert the healthcare community of the growing urgency to address the policy and regulatory aspects of telemedicine to provide greater quality and safety during the post-COVID era.
Towards a unified analysis of three cross-linguistically correlated telic constructions in Romanian
Authors:   Universitatea Babes-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca, Farkas Imola-Ágnes
Published: February 2022

Recent approaches to the theory of aspectuality assume that there is a conceptual similarity and cross-linguistic correlation between the (un)availability of goal-of-motion, strong resultative and aspectual cognate object constructions. This paper, examining Romanian data, brings further evidence in favour of the parallel between these three telic constructions and supports the tight correlation between them. It shows that although, at first glance, this verb-framed language shows patterns that seem to argue against the above correlation and especially against the unavailability of these structures, they prove to be only apparent counterexamples to it. Moreover, without questioning the typological classification of Romanian as a verb- framed language or the validity of the cross-linguistic correlation between these constructions, it reveals that a more detailed analysis of aspectual cognate object constructions in Romanian requires a different and more careful approach, which also takes into consideration the source of the diachronic data.

Effect of Aspiration on Vowel Duration for Voice and Voiceless Unaspirated (Garhwali Hindi) Consonants
Authors: S.K. Adhikari
Published: February 2022

In this paper, an attempt has been made to study of Vowel durations for voice and voiceless unaspirated consonant. An experiment is described to study vowel duration of 10 vowels (Garhwali Hindi) with different unaspirated consonants. Ten Garhwali vowels word in /CVC/ syllables as spoken three times by ten males and ten females Garhwali speakers were recorded in system in the free field of partially acoustically treated room. SFS/PRRAT software is used to digitize and analyze the data. Linear predictive coding (LPC) spectra were obtained for each of vowels and vowel duration was measured. Then we found that vowel duration of voice unaspirated consonant is greater than voiceless unaspirated consonants.
Diversity of Urban Mammals in Bharatpur Metropolitan City, Chitwan, Nepal
Authors: Budhan Chaudhary
Published: February 2022

The study of diversity of mammals was accomplished in the urban areas of Bharatpur Metropolitan City, a prime location of Nepal and confined in 433 km2; consists tropical climate and harbor variety of wildlife since the location is connected with Narayani River, community forests and Chitwan National Park. During data collection by direct observation, hearing sound calls and land marks left, the study was conducted from January to July 2016 for six months. Altogether, 12 families with 28 species of mammals were recorded in which 53.75% (15/28) were Temporary Living (TL) and 46.42% (13/28) were Permanent Living (PL). Out of 12 families; Soricidae had the highest, 21.43% (6/28) of species; followed by Cercopithecidae, Cervidae and Vespertilionidae, 10.71% (3/28); Canidae, Felidae, Herpestidae, Muridae, and Viverridae, 7.14% (2/28); and Mustelidae, Rhinocerotidae, and Suidae with 3.57% (1/28) each. Total Five different IUCN categories; Endangered (EN), Vulnerable (VU), Near Threatened (NT), Data Deficient (DD) and Least Concerned (LC) were closely observed. Among them, LC had the highest, 64.29% (18/28) of species followed by VU, 21.43% (6/28); EN, 7.14% (2/28); and CR, DD equally with 3.57% (1/28). Paradoxurus hermaphroditus pallasi, is an Asian Palm Civet, which is reported for the first time from Bharatpur, Chitwan, Nepal. The possible factors responsible to attract wildlife in urban areas were availability of seasonal cultivated crops, fruiting and flowering plants; and household organic wastes. But; the increasing traffics stray dogs, and lack of hidings led to threat to wild mammals. The cutting down of trees in the private areas and frequent road killings also amplify risk of small wild mammals.
Speculative Creation of Vedic Hymns: Hermeneutic Approach to the Selected Verse
Authors: Ghimire Surendra
Published: February 2022

The article, specifically, aims to make a knowledge contribution in epistemology, especially intuition and speculation two approaches of knowledge making. At the same time, it engages into Vedic study by revealing the process of creating the hymns and verses that are compiled in the texts. Some selected verses from the Rigveda translated by Ralph Thomas Hotchkin Griffith (1896) were taken as a source of information. Conceptual analysis of these verses and hymns suggests a pattern which indicates that these were created skeptically rather than authoritatively, and synthesized with microcosm-macrocosm analogy. On the other hand, there is no evidence of intuitive approach of creating the verses. Since an argument- 'the knowledge was created speculatively by the then scholars not intuitively by the seers' is put forward. Hence, the paper demystifies the mystified knowledge surpassing the blasphemy of Veda, against the faith of uncreated religio-philosophical text the hermeneutic interpretation presents, as a reflective and scholarly act, an opposite epistemological perspective.

Terroir as Territory: Frybread and Fermentation as Critical Settler and Decolonial Practice
Authors: Fournier Lauren
Published: February 2022

In this text, I reflect on the relationship between terroir and territory as part of a critical settler practice of sourdough bread-baking in the prairies of Treaty 4 lands, Saskatchewan. I propose that a framework of terroir-as-territory is one way of conceiving of and practising decolonialization within land-based food systems. Writing through conversation, reflection, and provocation, I consider the place of fermentation practices—specifically wheat fermentation—in settler and Indigenous communities in Saskatchewan, where fermentation (the chemical changes brought on by microbes) embodies simultaneously the processes of preservation and transformation. As I write, I draw from my ongoing curatorial research into contemporary art and fermentation as well as my long-standing interest in food security and food justice, pivoting, in this short textual performance, into food writing and criticism as activism.

Background: Although moderate intensity maternal exercise is recommended during pregnancy, most women do not achieve this level. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of supervised maternal light-intensity exercise on fetal cardiovascular measures in the 3rd trimester. Materials and Methods: We compared women participating in light-intensity (LI) stretching/breathing or no exercise (CON) across 24+ weeks of pregnancy Women with singleton pregnancies (<16 weeks), between 18-40 years, 18.5-34.99 kg/m2 BMI, and having no chronic health conditions were eligible. LI did 150 minutes light-intensity weekly exercise; CON did normal daily activities, but no exercise. Maternal measures included resting heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP). Fetal measures included estimated fetal weight (EFW), ponderal index (PI), HR, along with right and left ventricular measures (e.g., stroke volume, cardiac output, ejection fraction) at 36 weeks’ gestation. T-tests compared differences between groups; partial spearman rank correlations and regressions were performed to find relationships and predict fetal echocardiographic outcomes, controlling for fetal activity state. Results: Of 50 pregnant women (n=26 in LI, n=24 in CON), we found maternal exercise intensity influences fetal left ventricular heart flow, while maternal exercise duration influences fetal right ventricular outcomes. There were no differences (p>0.05) in fetal cardiac anatomical measures. Lastly, light intensity exercise and duration of exercise lower maternal blood pressure in late pregnancy. Conclusions:Light-intensity exercise is associated with improved fetal cardiac measures. Women benefit from light intensity exercise during pregnancy. Cardiovascular benefits from exercise for mother and child are dose dependent.

Developing leadership qualities in young people is ever increasing globally, a process which until now has not been critically analyzed. Leadership is believed to be so widely spread in the career and occupation discourse that developing leadership among the youth opens up unparalleled opportunities in new youth policy efforts, leadership development industry and multifaceted theoretical research of leadership. While researchers of youth leadership note suspended and individual types of discourse, we give them a more precise definition and offer the remaining three (small, independent and semi-independent) as significant for the account of interconnections between leaders, leadership and leadership development. It is necessary to answer the question if the current development of youth leadership creates a substantial leadership potential among individuals, organizations or society.  

The article provides a region’s example of the Best Practice personnel training, developing leadership skills, establishing public, collegiate and consultative councils for decision making and building cooperation between the legislature and executive authorities of the Chuvash Republic. 

The changing nature and ways of developing leadership competences have unveiled new exciting horizons and prospects as well as practical application opportunities for youth policies which will remain an important theme for researchers, politicians and youth officers.

Politics of Electoral Symbols in Pakistan
Authors: Ahmad Muhammad Shakeel
Published: February 2022

Electoral symbols have a significant role in electoral campaigns. Political parties used stamps to propagate their political stance and to organize political behavior around their programs. The political symbolism demonstrates different meanings to different people due to their socio-political orientations.Some political parties tried to use electoral symbols more proactively than others. These multi-layered meanings led to the articulate political interests of social groups. There are many questions unanswered regarding the impact and use of the political symbol. Can election symbols influence particular areas more than the rest of the country? Does electoral symbol matter in electoral victory? This paper is an attempt to explore the politics and use of symbols in electoral politics. In the electoral politics of Pakistan, the study of electoral symbols is unique due to its multiple uses in highly polarized electoral contexts. The study concludes that political parties use electoral symbols tactfully to maximize their vote bank. A qualitative approach has been used to investigate a core question
Immunoregulatory effects of glioma-associated stem cells on the glioblastoma peritumoral microenvironment: a differential PD-L1 expression from core to periphery?
Authors: Menna Grazia , Manini Ivana , Cesselli Daniela , Skrap Miran , Olivi Alessandro , Ius Tamara , Della Pepa Giuseppe Maria
Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE

Glioma-associated stem cells (GASCs) have been indicated as possible players in supporting growth and recurrence in glioblastoma. However, their role in modulating immune response in the peritumoral area has not yet been described. In this study, the authors aimed to investigate programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) differential expression at the protein level in GASCs derived from different tumor areas (core, periphery, and surrounding healthy brain).

METHODS

Tumor tissue samples were collected from patients who underwent surgery for a histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma. Sampling sites were confirmed via neuronavigation and categorized on 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence as bright (ALA+), pale (ALA PALE), or negative (ALA−), which corresponds to the tumor mass, infiltrated peritumoral area, and healthy brain, respectively, during surgery. GASCs were first isolated from the 3 regions and analyzed; then Western blot analysis was used to evaluate the level of PD-L1 expression in the GASCs.

RESULTS

Overall, 7 patients were included in the study. For all patients, the mean values ± SD of PD-L1 expression in GASCs for ALA+, ALA PALE, and ALA− were 1.12 ± 1.14, 0.89 ± 0.63, and 0.57 ± 0.18, respectively. The differentially expressed values of PD-L1 in GASCs sampled from the 3 areas were found to be significant (p < 0.05) for 3 of the 7 patients: patient S470 (ALA+ vs ALA− and ALA PALE vs ALA−), patient S473 (ALA+ vs ALA PALE and ALA PALE vs ALA−), and patient S509 (ALA+ vs ALA−).

CONCLUSIONS

This analysis showed, for the first time, that GASCs expressed a constitutive level of PD-L1 and that PD-L1 expression in GASCs was not uniform among patients or within the same patient. GASC analysis combined with 5-ALA–guided sampling (from core to periphery) made it possible to highlight the role of the tumor microenvironment at the infiltrating margin, which might cause clinical resistance, opening interesting perspectives for the future.
REDEFINING HOME AND HOMELESSNESS IN MARILYNNE ROBINSON’S LILA
Authors: Kondali Ksenija
Published: February 2022

The recent decades have brought an intensified reconsideration of home, its concept, values, and importance, investigated not only as an actual physical space but also as a representational space and a place in memory. Contemporary scholarship has increasingly approached the domestic space as socially constructed, representing power negotiation and contestation. Drawing on concepts from cultural and feminist geographers, this paper seeks to interrogate Marilynne Robinson’s novel Lila and its understanding of belonging and isolation while questioning the concept of home. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how the gendered place of home is renegotiated in this novel that revises concepts of femininity as its protagonist struggles with adapting to a life of domestic dynamic in the heartland of America, which Robinson prefers to call “the middle west”. In other words, this paper establishes the relevance of approaching the novel’s representation of home and homelessness as a spatial study with a gender lens.
WOMEN IN A NIGHTMARISH UTOPIA: THE EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY IN BRAVE NEW WORLD
Authors: Moosavinia Sayyed Rahim , Hosseini Pour Anis
Published: February 2022

In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley shows us a society in which technological advances have changed the entirety of human life on earth. The opening of the novel does not strike the reader as dystopian and certainly neither does the title. But as we go on, we find that free thinking is limited or nonexistent by the manipulation of scientific advances like hypnopedia and genetic conditioning. On one hand, Huxley paints a picture-perfect society that is at the height of civilization with genetic and scientific advances. On the other hand, he shows us the nightmarish utopia by the lack of moral values in the society. Utopia turns into dystopia when we witness the inferior role of women and the humiliation of the intellectual. In addition, the natural process of childbirth is controlled in test tubes. Furthermore, there is no place for religion, literature, and family values. Lastly, Huxley warns the readers about what technology devoid of value could do to human beings. What is more, is the effect of technology on women which is portrayed through the image of utopia turned into dystopia: a society that mandates promiscuity in the name of civic duty in addition to the removal of the female body from childbirth. Dystopian literature is by nature critical; hence, women’s inferiority along with the misuse of a gendered approach to technology highlights toxic patriarchy in the society. It shows Huxley’s warning about the destructive effect of dystopia on women.

Ovarian cancer ranks third among the tumors of the reproductive system in women. This disease has no screening.It is characterized by a latent course and, as a result, is diagnosed at the advanced stages of the tumor process. There are two methods of treatment for this disease: aggressive cytoreductive surgery and anticancer drug therapy. However, the phasing of approaches causes controversy among oncologists. This article will consider approaches to choosing the stage of treatment for patients with advanced ovarian cancer based on the analysis of international studies.

Published: February 2022

En la actualidad, los perfiles de las marcas de moda en Instagram son seguidos por una amplia comunidad de jóvenes usuarios. Una de las firmas más destacadas en la red social es Gucci, cuya estrategia de comunicación digital ejemplifica los esfuerzos de algunas marcas de lujo por reorientarse hacia los nuevos perfiles de consumidores. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es conocer de qué manera comunica Gucci su identidad de marca en su perfil de Instagram durante el periodo de lanzamiento de una de sus colecciones. Mediante un análisis de contenido cuantitativo sobre una muestra de 642 publicaciones, se registran las asociaciones de marca estructuradas en torno a las dimensiones de producto, organización, persona y símbolo, según el modelo de identidad de marca formulado por Aaker (1996). Los resultados muestran que los contenidos de las publicaciones son coherentes con la identidad de una marca que se presenta como ecléctica, moderna, romántica, exclusiva e influyente. Estos atributos se manifiestan principalmente en los productos de la marca y en la figura de su director creativo.
Wie bürokratisch ist Deutschland? Und warum? Generalisten und Spezialisten im Entbürokratisierungsspiel
Authors: Jann Werner , Wegrich Kai
Published: February 2022

Das verbreitete Stereotyp Deutschlands als übermäßig bürokratisierter Staat kann einer nüchternen empirischen Bestandsaufnahme kaum standhalten. Im internationalen Vergleich zeigt sich vielmehr ein unterschiedliches Ausmaß der „Bürokratisierung“ entlang von drei zentralen Dimensionen der häufig undifferenziert betrachteten Bürokratieproblematik. Einer intelligenten Strategie der Entbürokratisierung muss daher eine systematische Analyse der Mechanismen der Bürokratisierung in einzelnen Dimensionen der Bürokratiekritik – zu viel Staat, zu viel Regulierung, zu bürokratische Organisation – zugrunde liegen. Der Beitrag stellt einen zentralen Mechanismus für die Regulierungsproblematik als derzeit besonders intensiv diskutiertes Bürokratieproblem dar: Das relative politische Kräfteverhältnis von „Generalisten“ und „Spezialisten“ wird als entscheidend für den Erfolg von Initiativen zur Deregulierung und „besseren Regulierung“ identifiziert. Diskutiert wird der Beitrag unterschiedlicher theoretischer Perspektiven zur konzeptionellen Begründung dieser Generalisten-Spezialisten-These. Hieraus ergeben sich schließlich handlungsrelevante Hypothesen zur Wirksamkeit von verbreiteten Ansätzen der „besseren Regulierung“.
Das Scheitern des Neuen Steuerungsmodells
Authors: Holtkamp Lars
Published: February 2022

Das Neue Steuerungsmodell in Deutschland ist in besonderem Maße von einem inhärenten theoretischen Widerspruch geprägt. Die tradierten Entscheidungsstrukturen, in denen nutzenmaximierende Fachverwaltungen und Politiker zur Budgetexpansion tendieren, werden aus einer Rational-Choice-Perspektive kritisiert. Dem wird das Neue Steuerungsmodell gegenübergestellt, in das sich nun ausgehend von einem optimistischen Menschenbild die zentralen Akteure entsprechend ihren radikal neu definierten Rollen einfügen und dem Primat der Haushaltskonsolidierung unterordnen. Nach 15-jähriger Implementationspraxis in Deutschland kann konstatiert werden, dass das Neue Steuerungsmodell auch an diesem Widerspruch auf konzeptioneller Ebene gescheitert ist. Das Scheitern kann aus einer konsequenten Rational-Choice-Perspektive als eine „rationale Abwahl“ im Vollzug interpretiert werden.

The global fight against Alzheimer’s disease (AD) poses unique challenges for the field of neuropsychology. Along with the increased focus on early detection of AD pathophysiology, characterizing the earliest clinical stage of the disease has become a priority. We believe this is an important time for neuropsychology to consider how our approach to the characterization of cognitive impairment can be improved to detect subtle cognitive changes during early-stage AD. The present article aims to provide a critical examination of how we define and measure cognitive status in the context of aging and AD. First, we discuss pitfalls of current methods for defining cognitive impairment within the context of research shifting to earlier (pre)symptomatic disease stages. Next, we introduce a shift towards a more continuous approach for identifying early markers of cognitive decline and characterizing progression and discuss how this may be facilitated by novel assessment approaches. Finally, we summarize potential implications and challenges of characterizing cognitive status using a continuous approach.
Bryostatin Placebo-Controlled Trials Indicate Cognitive Restoration Above Baseline for Advanced Alzheimer’s Disease in the Absence of Memantine1
Authors: Thompson Richard E. , Tuchman Alan J. , Alkon Daniel L.
Published: February 2022

Background: In pre-clinical studies of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) transgenic mice, bryostatin restored synaptic connections, prevented neuronal death, reduced amyloid plaques, and reduced neurofibrillary tangles. Objective: Within pre-specified cohorts of advanced AD patients in two double-blind placebo-controlled bryostatin Phase II trials, to conduct exploratory statistical analyses of patients with identical conditions of enrollment and treatment. Methods: Severe Impairment Battery (SIB) scores above baseline at 5, 9, and 13 weeks were analyzed initially in the complete cases, with multiple imputation methods based on an iterative Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm used for missing SIB scores. To mitigate confounding by a chance imbalance of 4.9 SIB baseline scores (Study #203), each patient was used as their own control with differences in 13-week SIB from baseline in single trial and pooled analyses to measure benefit at 13 weeks using general estimating equations (GEE) modeling. Results: Patients treated with bryostatin pre-specified at Mini-Mental State Examination scores 10–14, without memantine, showed baseline balance, complete safety, and SIB improvements at 13 weeks with multiple imputation analysis: Study #203 = 4.1 SIB points above baseline (p = 0.005), and Study #202 = 4.2 SIB points above baseline (p = 0.016). An increased power (N = 95) “pooled analysis” showed an increased SIB over time and a higher mean SIB at 13 weeks in the bryostatin treatment group (p < 0.001) but not significant (NS) for the placebo patients. Conclusion: Pre-specified exploratory analyses for the individual trials and the pooled trials confirmed significant bryostatin-induced improvement over baseline (treatment p < 0.001, placebo NS).

Point cloud registration is important for the processing of 3D model reconstruction, but with the challenge of low registration accuracy. In order to overcome this obstacle, this paper proposed a dual attention mechanism registration (DAMR) method for the point cloud registration. Firstly, the dual attention mechanism is utilized to extract key point features with different dimensions via assigning weights to the input point clouds. Secondly, the matching parameters are obtained by estimating the position correspondence between feature points and gaussian mixture model. Finally, the parameter unit blocks of two models are applied to recover the optimal transformation by matching parameters. In order to test the performance of our method, four groups of datasets include public data models and cultural relic models are adopted, respectively. Compared with traditional methods, our method has shown better performance to effectively ensured the registration accuracy of 3D point cloud models.

BACKGROUND:

Insulin sensitizers have been used to treat Type 2 diabetes. However, their non-negligible side effects have led to cardiovascular concerns and the withdrawal of a member, rosiglitazone.

OBJECTIVE:

We combined conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) with rosiglitazone to test for amelioration of side effects posed by rosiglitazone in vivo.

METHODS:

We utilized ApoE null mice fed with Western diet (WD) to test our hypothesis. Mice were fed WD, with or without CLA administration, for 12 weeks. CLA utilized in our study consisted of a 1:1 ratio of 95% pure c9,t11, and t10,c12 isomers at a concentration of 0.1% w/v in fat-free milk. Starting from Week 12, select mice received rosiglitazone.

RESULTS:

It was found that mice receiving CLA from Week 0 and rosiglitazone from Week 12 had the lowest body weight and exacerbated hepatomegaly. Although these mice had attenuated insulin resistance compared to mice receiving only Western diet, they display a marked increase in total plasma cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Mice receiving early CLA administration developed hyperleptinemia, which was not restored by rosiglitazone.

CONCLUSION:

Taken together, against the background of ApoE null genotype and WD feeding, simultaneous administration of 1:1 CLA and rosiglitazone led to dyslipidemic lipoatrophy.
