Published: October 2021

Consistent and gradual spread in the West of the concept of "competence" in the practice of postgraduate education, professional development and retraining of professional personnel has led to the emergence in the education system of the concept of the so-called competency approach. Based on this concept, the International Labor Association introduces the concept of "key competencies", which include subject and social components, in the qualification requirements for professionals. The accumulated experience of implementing the competency approach in the education system has shown the presence of a number of problems due to the complexity of assessing the process and results of professional activities of educators. This problem has caused a flow of publications, varying in type, volume and content, from reputable and titular scholars to primary school teachers, the number of links to which there are millions on the Internet. The presence of many publications encourages the search for ways to solve the problem using the methods of qualimetry and information technology. In the article the information technology of the decision of problems of an assessment of professional activity of the educational system employee based on the competency approach is considered and offered for practical application. The essence of the method: a group of experts makes an information model (professiograms) of the educational system’ employee – lists (thesaurus and alphabetical index) of the evaluated features – the range of powers (competencies in the sense of professional capacity), as well as the set of knowledge, skills and personal characteristics (competencies in the sense of expertise); each assessment object the experts compare for each of the features and assign a point on a four-point scale of the order that characterizes the degree of compliance of the assessment object to a particular feature; the obtained sets of assessments (personograms) are processed accordingly; the processing result (ranked list) is submitted to the decision maker. As an example of application of the method, the procedure of assessment the professional activity of a group of beginning teachers of a higher education institution is considered.

Published: October 2021

Background To detect the superficial and buried optic disc drusen (ODD) with swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).Methods Retrospective cross-sectional study.Twenty patients (age 18-74 years) diagnosed with ODD via B-scan ultrasonography were analysed. All patients underwent color fundus photography (CFP), B-scan ultrasonography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), and SS-OCT.We defined each hyporeflective signal mass of SS-OCT as an ODD, recorded its location and relationship with Bruch’s membrane opening (BMO), and other ophthalmic imaging characteristics.Results 20 (33 eyes) patients had 54 ODDs in all, except one eye did not show abnormal optic disc findings on SS-OCT. We classified ODD into three categories: ODD above BMO, ODD across BMO, and ODD below BMO. The ODDs across BMO were the largest, followed by ODDs below BMO, and those above BMO. The location of the ODDs: One (1.9%) was in the border tissue of Elschnig, 6 (11.1%) might span across the lamina cribrosa, 16 (29.6%) were above BMO located in the neuroepithelial layer, 9 (16.7%) spanned across BMO located near the center of the optic disc, 18 (33.3%) were below BMO located near the center of the optic disc, 4 (7.4%) were below BMO located within the optic disc rim. When the anterior margin was ≥ 100 μm from the BMO, clear autofluorescence could be seen. Conclusion Multimodal imaging provided a deeper understanding of ODD. SS-OCT illustrated more details about the relationship between the posterior surface of ODD, BMO and the lamina cribrosa.

Published: October 2021

The relationship between different dimensions of women's empowerment and childhood anaemia in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is unclear. We assessed the associations between women’s empowerment and anaemia and haemoglobin (Hb) concentration among children using data from 72,032 women and their singleton children aged 6-59 months from the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2006 and 2019 in 31 SSA countries. Of the included children, 65.8% were anaemic and the mean Hb concentration was 102.3 g/dl (SD 16.1). The odds of anaemia in children reduced with increasing empowerment in the dimensions of attitude towards violence [quintile (Q1) vs. Q5, OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.71–0.89, Ptrend <0.001], decision making (Q1 vs. Q5, OR 0.68; 95% CI 0.59–0.79, Ptrend <0.001), education (Q1 vs. Q5, OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.72–0.89, Ptrend <0.001), and social independence (Q1 vs. Q5, OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.79–1.00, Ptrend <0.015). Similarly, children’s mean Hb concentration increased with increasing women’s empowerment in all the above dimensions. In conclusion, women empowerment was associated with reduced odds of anaemia and higher Hb concentration in children. Promotion of women's empowerment may reduce the burden of childhood anaemia in SSA.

Published: October 2021

Background: There is an increasing attention on microRNAs because of their functional effect on polarization of CD4+ T cells. This study explores the mechanism of miR-493-5p regulating Th9 cell differentiation in allergic asthma.Methods: The allergic airway inflammation is induced by ovalbumin (OVA) in mice. CD4+ T cells from normal mice are cultured under Th9 cell conditions. IL-9 levels in mice and CD4+ T cells are analyzed by RT-qPCR, ELISA, flow cytometry and western blot. The miR-493-5p level in mice and cells is detected by RT-qPCR. The interaction between FOXO1 and miR-493-5p is predicted by TargetScan and confirmed by dual luciferase assay. The pathological state is evaluated by H&E staining and lung resistance is measured in the allergic mice treated with miR-493-5p agomiR before stimulation.Results: The miR-493-5p expression decreases significantly in OVA-induced asthma mice, accompanied by a significant upregulation in the expression of IL-9, IRF4 and FOXO1 and the proportion of CD4+ Th9 cells. MiR-493-5p mimic inhibits the expression of IL-9, IRF4 and FOXO1 and Th9 cell differentiation, while the inhibitor restores these effects. MiR-493-5p mimic represses FOXO1 expression through interacting with 3'UTR of FOXO1 mRNA. The rescue experiment proves that miR-493-5p regulates the differentiation of Th9 cell and the expression of IL-9 by targeting FOXO1. In addition, we find that miR-493-5p agomiR treatment inhibits the FOXO1, IL-9 and IRF4 expression, decreases the proportion of CD4+ Th9 cells, and alleviates the pathological state of lung tissue and airway hyperreactivity in OVA-induced asthma mice.Conclusions: Our study confirmed that miR-493-5p inhibited Th9 cell differentiation in allergic asthma by targeting FOXO1.

Heterocyclic nucleus are considered essential in medicinal chemistry and provides a model for developing several therapeutic agents such as drugs with a wide antibacterial spectrum. In an attempt to obtain a new antibacterial agent, new quinolone derivatives containing triazole and thiadiazole have prepared via a straightforward method. The newly synthesized products' chemical structures have invistigated their FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and Mass techniques. A good yield was found for all the prepared derivatives varying from 74-79%. Molecular docking studies of the synthesized compounds showed only one compound, 6c, which has the same ranking from the in vitro and silicon test results on Gram-negative bacteria. Also, several compounds have close rankings, such as compound 5 (ranks 13 and 14) and compound 6c (ranks 6 and 5) in Gram-positive bacteria, as well as compound 7a (ranks 13 and 12), compound 7c (ranks 1 and 2), and compound 7d (ranks 12 and 13) in Gram-negative bacteria. However, there is one exciting compound, 7c, which shows very high rankings (ranks 1 and 2) in Gram-negative bacteria. This suggests that the compound has potential as an antimicrobial in Gram-negative bacteria, with an ampicillin-like mechanism of action targeting the bacteria's Penicillin-binding proteins.

Highly selective electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2RR) to multi-carbon (C2+) products at high current density remains a big challenge. Herein we report copper oxide nanosheets (CuO-st) for selective electrochemical conversion of CO2 to C2+ products at high current density. Benefiting from the defect-rich structure verified by HR-TEM and XPS characterization and the designed gas diffusion electrode, such a CuO-st material exhibits CO2RR FE (C2+) of 86 and 80 % at 1.0 and 1.8 A cm−2, respectively, with excellent durability of 50 h @ 500mAcm−2 and storable lifetime for >10 months. Importantly, using quasi-situ XPS and in-situ Roman spectra, we have shown the first evidence for the presence of Cu (ǀ) during the eCO2RR on initial Cu (ǁ) material, and the proportion of Cu (ǀ) varies with the reaction current density. The rough and defective surface of CuO-st serves as a favorable reservoir to produce enough Cu (ǀ) to assist the C-C coupling, thus achieving selective CO2RR to C2+ products at high current density. Our study not only provides a new insight into CO2RR, but also suggests that in-situ forming active species from stable Cu (ǁ) materials during the reaction may be a good choice for the practical application, which will be very helpful to the development of cost-effective CO2RR electrocatalysts.
Local market mechanisms survey for peer-to-peer electricity trading on blockchain platform
Authors: Oprea Simona-Vasilica
Published: October 2021

Blockchain is a promising technology for local trading of the electricity. It has specific components, such as smart contracts, data ledger, consensus, and provides many benefits for both buyers and sellers because they are obtaining/generating electricity at better prices compared with the electricity from the public grid. This practice leads to a better integration of renewable energy sources, increasing the appetite for new local generation sources and storage facilities, transparency and trading opportunities for all market players. Grid operators also benefit from blockchain since the grid loading will be reduced as the grid does not have to transmit or distribute electricity from large power plants located far away from consumption place. In the end, the market players will benefit from reducing the grid loading and alleviating the congestions as onerous investment in grid infrastructure is avoided. In this paper, we will analyse the advantages of different electricity market mechanisms for trading and settlement. Several auction mechanisms such as pay-as-bid, uniform price, generalised second price or Vickrey-Clarke-Groves are taken into account as feasible options for local markets and peer-to-peer trading.
Sniffing attacks on computer networks
Authors: Glăvan Dragoș
Published: October 2021

The sniffing attack or sniffer attack, in the context of network security, corresponds to data theft or interception by capturing network traffic using a sniffer (an application that aims to capture network packets). When data is transmitted over networks, if data packets are not encrypted, data in the network packet can be read using a sniffer. Using a sniffer application, an attacker can analyze the network and obtain information so that it can eventually crash or corrupt the network or read the communications that occur in the network. Sniffing attacks can be compared to touching wires and getting to know the conversation, and for this reason it is also called "wiretapping" applied to computer networks. In this paper, a sniffing attack is shared which can significantly damage the computer networks as well as methods of combating such attacks. Sniffing is usually performed to analyze network usage, troubleshoot network problems, monitor session for development and testing purposes.

Published: October 2021

Compared to other nano polymers, dendrimers have novel three-dimensional, synthetic
hyperbranched, nano-polymeric structures. These supramolecular dendritic structures have a high
degree of significant surface and core functionality in the transportation of drugs for targeted therapy,
specifically in host-guest response, gene transfer therapy, and imaging of biological systems.
However, there are conflicting shreds of evidence regarding biological safety and dendrimers toxicity
due to their positive charge at the surface. It includes cytotoxicity, hemolytic toxicity, haematological
toxicity, immunogenicity, and in vivo toxicity. Surface modification of the dendrimer group
is one of the methods to resolve these issues. This review aimed at investigating different strategies
that can reduce toxicity and improve the biocompatibility of different dendrimers. From that viewpoint,
we broaden the structural and safe characteristics of the dendrimers in the biomedical and
pharmaceutical fields.

Background:

Pistacia atlantica (P. atlantica) has been associated with beneficial medical effects on gastrointestinal complications.

Objective:

It was intended to assess the effects of P. atlantica in elimination of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and amelioration of gastric reflux and chronic cough.

Methods:

In this clinical trial study, 100 subjects with H. pylori infection who had the symptoms of gastric reflux and chronic cough were recruited and classified into two intervention and placebo groups, continuing 50 subjects each. The intervention group was administered two 500 mg doses of P. atlantica extract each day. The H. pylori antigen load in stool samples was evaluated using ELISA. The severity of cough and gastric re
flux was also determined.

Results:

The subjects in two groups were age and sex matched and the baseline measurements were similar on the day 0. Nonetheless, it was observed that on the day 14, there was a significant reduction of H. pylori antigen load in the intervention group compared with the placebo group (P = 0.00021). Furthermore, the intensity of chronic cough was reduced significantly in the intervention group (P = 0.0014). The gastric reflux was improved in the intervention group at the end of the study.

Conclusion:

P. atlantica extract was beneficial in controlling H. pylori infection. It also improved the complications of the infection, like gastric reflux and chronic cough. Hence, it is highly recommended to value natural products, along with traditional antibiotics, in ameliorating H. pylori infection.

Investigation of the temperature evolution of magnetization curves near magnetic saturation makes it possible to extract new information on the features of the phase composition and structure of hypoeutectoid steel. It is shown that the main contribution to the magnitude and the temperature behavior of the energy density of the local magnetic anisotropy of hypoeutectoid steel is due to the lamellar structure of pearlite. The peculiarity of the temperature behavior of the energy of the magnetic anisotropy, along with the behavior of the paraprocess, indicates the formation of Mn-substituted cementite in the studied steel sample. The observation of the crossover of power-law regularities in the approximation of magnetization to saturation indicates the formation of two-dimensional nano-inhomogeneities of the local axis of easy magnetization in the plates of alpha iron, which are part of the pearlite.

The development of digital currencies' costs showed a sort of air pocket and an accident toward the finish of 2017. In view of this occasion, and on the way that Bitcoin is the most perceived digital currency, we propose to assess the infection impact among Bitcoin and other significant cryptographic forms of money. Utilizing the Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis connection coefficient and looking at the period after and before the accident, we discovered proof of an infection impact, with this specific market being more incorporated now than in the past something that ought to be considered by current and likely financial backers. Cryptocurrency like Bitcoin have developed from being related only with geeks and revolutionaries to being considered by national banks as an innovation to carry out advanced cash. Digital forms of money exist just in computerized shape and can be moved totally between advanced addresses. This is both not normal for traditional electronic cash as perceived by laypersons which goes about as an obligation guarantee on a store with a confided in monetary foundation, for example, a private bank and dissimilar to ordinary bodily cash which might be truly moved by. This implies that any lawful rights related with holding digital forms of money should be diverse in spite of it being staying not entirely clear. In this , we take a gander at the different medicines of cash in the lawful detect and talk about the dangers related with each by drawing on genuine models. We presume that extortion through hacking might actually represent an issue to broad reception of cryptographic forms of money as the shortfall of plan of action against an outsider, for example, a bank amasses hazard in holders of digital currencies. Clients should hence practice alert and comprehend the dangers prior to putting resources into digital currencies. This admonition requires accentuation as many gatherings misunderstand the cryptography inside the innovation as shielding them from such misrepresentation when truth be told it does nothing of the sort.

In this essay, I reflect on the way that the COVID-19 pandemic deepens the care crisis and the radical, democratic transformation this turning point demands. Beginning with an assessment of the status of the free-riding on care (Nancy Fraser) and the gender division of labor, I continue with an analysis of the hegemonic justifications that, as Wendy Brown has shown, underpin such unbalance. I conclude with some remarks on the imminent challenge to advance towards a model of state, society and citizenship capable of securing a sustained and co-responsible social compromise with the care of the community.
Do Cognitive Dispositions and Gender Matter in Applications of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy? A Pilot Study at an Iraqi University
Authors: Pilotti Maura , Pilotti Maura , Razmahang Yalda , Bernoussi Zaynab El
Published: October 2021

The present pilot study examines the extent to which particular individual differences (i.e., general self-efficacy, goal orientation, and decision-making styles) may shape academic success in courses conforming to the principles of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP). End-of-semester course grades were used as a coarse, institutionally mandated measure of academic success. Gender differences were observed. For female students, a learning orientation was related to academic success. However, female students’ academic success was also related to their reliance on specific decision-making styles (i.e., vigilance and hyper-vigilance). Male students’ academic success was not significantly related to any of the individual difference measures. These findings suggest that applications of CRP may benefit from the recognition of students’ preexisting dispositions and that such dispositions may differ between sexes. A discussion follows regarding how information regarding students’ preexisting differences may benefit CRP instruction.

There is increasing understanding, globally, that climate change and
increased pollution will have a profound and mostly harmful effect on
human health. This review brings together international experts to
describe both the direct (such as heat waves) and indirect (such as
vector-borne disease incidence) impacts of climate change depending on
their vulnerability (i.e., diseases) on an international, economic,
political and environmental context. This unique review also expands on
these issues to address a third category of potential longer-term
impacts on global health: famine, population dislocation, and
environmental justice and education. This scholarly resource explores
these issues fully, linking them to global health in urban and rural
settings in developed and developing countries. The review finishes with
a practical discussion of action that health professionals around the
world in our field can yet take.

Using whole genome shotgun sequences from 92 white-tailed eagles
(Haliaeetus albicilla) sampled from Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark,
Estonia, and Turkey between 1885-1950 and after 1990, we investigate the
genomic variation within countries over time, and between countries.
Clear genetic differentiation is observed between samples from the
different countries, with the largest differences between the island and
mainland populations, and indications that the island populations share
the most recent ancestry with the Norwegian population. We find signs of
strong inbreeding in the island populations. Further, temporal
differences are observed in some populations, for example, replacement
of the Danish gene pool following its population’s extinction in the
early 20th century, as well as a change in the genetic diversity of the
Icelandic population following a severe bottleneck during the last
century, all of which could warrant a further conservation effort in
Iceland. More generally, all populations show a decline in effective
population size, which may have been shaped by I) distinct refugia
during the last glacial period, II) population divergence following the
colonization of the deglaciated areas ~10,000 years ago,
III) human population expansion and e.g., settlement in Iceland
~1,100 years ago, and IV) human persecution and toxic
pollutants during the last two centuries.

The search for new derivatives of benzoimidazole with an active center that have a wide range of biological effects (antifungal, antiflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antitumor, antidiabetic, etc.) is the subject of modern pharmaceutical science. To determine the mechanism of action of benzoimidazole, a search is underway for more. We have previously carried out the Ultrastructural characterization of various prokaryotes and protists, as well as the mechanism of action of antibiotics and chemical preparations on them. From a series of heterocyclic drugs, a drug with a wide spectrum of action was chosen as derivatives of benzimidazole and a model of a free-living unicellular eukaryote Endameba moshkovskii with a vegetative and cystic form. The purpose of this work is the nature of the action of drugs of the benzimidazole series and in the ultrastructural visualization of the mechanism of action of benzimidazole using electron microscopic and electron-cytochemical methods on the model of polyxenic cultures of unicellular eukaryotes Entamoeba moshkovskii. We have established for the first time the excising effect of benzimidazole and the functional-ultrastructural mechanism of the action of benzimidazole on entameoba cells. As a result, the ultrastructural and functional morphology of benzimidazole action in the process of excysting entamoeba was established.

Dentro y fuera del umbral: la mujer como simulacro en el Nuevo Extremismo Francés
Authors: González-Álvarez Paula
Published: October 2021

La figura de la mujer se ha representado históricamente como signo, como simulacro cultural dentro del orden patriarcal, ocupando un espacio significativo sin tener realidad. Dentro del ámbito de las representaciones audiovisuales, las mujeres se configuran a través de una mirada masculina, que también se articula desde la posición de las espectadoras. Esto se amplifica cuando se tratan historias que, de una manera o otra, trabajan con temas que giran en torno a la sexualidad gráfica, objeto de controversia a lo largo de la historia del cine y del desarrollo de las teorías fílmicas feministas. Este artículo analiza los personajes femeninos protagonistas de dos filmes dentro del movimiento cinematográfico denominado Nuevo Extremismo Francés, Irreversible (Noé, 2002) y Baise-moi (Despentes y Trinh Thi, 2000), atendiendo a las diferencias que se dan en el tratamiento de la violencia sexual dependiendo de la mirada del individuo que las representa, conforme se encuentre dentro o fuera del umbral, entendido este como punto desde el cual se observa la realidad.

Palm Oil Mill is a factory which converts Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) to Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and Palm Kernel Oil (PKO). Within FFB converting processes, two types of waste are produced: 1)liquid waste and 2)solid waste. Liquid waste, named Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), contributes up to 60% of total FFB. Solid waste includes palm kernel shell and meal, fibre and empty fruit bunch gives in aggregate around 20% of total FFB. Initially, Palm kernel shell (PKS) is commonly utilised as fuel for boiler. Then in some mills, POME was additionally used as biomass for biofuel production (biogas) to support power supply in the mill. Biogas is utilised to generate electricity for Kernel Crushing Plant (KCP). Field observation data shows that electricity demand for KCP is 19.5 MWh/day or equivalent with 45% of total biogas production. The excess biogas, equivalent with 11,000 kWh/day, is flared. An alternative scenario instead of flaring is to use biogas as fuel for boiler. Thus, the previous fuel (PKS) could potentially be allocated for selling. Another scenario is to utilise excess biogas electricity generation to be distributed to staff houses near the mill. Therefore, this research study aims to calculate excess biogas that could be used for those scenarios: 1)Fuel substitution in the mill with different type of process, 2)Household electricity. Result shows that biogas demand in each scenario can supply 1) Minimum 2,900 kWh/day for non-processing hours and 6,436.65 kWh/day for processing hours, 2) Electricity for 557 houses/day.
