Authors: Вороніна М. С.
Published: December 2020

Для жіноцтва в будь-які часи було важливо яскраво одягатися, бо до цього спонукали правила андроцентричного світу. Тому більш актуальними в даному дослідженні постають такі питання: по-перше, чи стала радянська жінка повноцінним споживачем; по-друге, чи змінювалася її платоспроможність; по-третє, як відрізнялося споживання таких соціальних страт, як городянки і робітниці, селянки й колгоспниці, дружини командирів Червоної Армії, стахановки.
Connecting Growth with Development and Income with Sustainability, Education, and Employment of Global Powerhouses - A SEDA Perspective
Authors: Mukherjee Pallabi , Charan Modak Kali , Sushma Jolly
Published: December 2020

Purpose: This paper aims to depict the recent initiation to evaluate the efficiency of a nation in converting wealth to well-being in terms of Sustainable Economic Development Assessment scores (SEDA) specially analyzed for the global powerhouse countries accommodating 78% of the world’ population and 87% of countries income.Design/Methodology/Approach: SEDA (Sustainable Economic Development Assessment) measures sustainable development with three broad dimensions: economic, sustainability, and environment. The analysis is carried out by plotting a four-quadrant matrix chart to compare some macro-economic fundamentals.Countries Considered: 36 Powerhouse countries of the world (78% of the world’s population and 87% of countries’ income).Variables Considered: GDP/Capita, Wealth to well-being coefficient, SEDA score, employment (Employment has unemployment and employment to population ratio 15 plus), education (school enrollment, tertiary, years of school primary to tertiary, teacher-pupil ratio primary and an average of math and science score), equality (Gini index, inequality in education and inequality in life expectancy) and finally environment (air quality, terrestrial and marine protected areas, carbon dioxide intensity and electricity production from renewable sources).Findings: The analysis depicts how good a country is in converting their wealth to well-being. The countries that have started well do not necessarily have depicted outstanding progress in Sustainable economic development assessment. Some countries are good in growth and increasing their developmental scores (keeping in mind BCG identified parameters of sustainable development). Further comparisons express a high positive correlation between GDP/Capita with education and equality. There is a very low degree of correlation between GDP/Capita and employment and a low correlation between GDP/Capita and environment. However, there is a negative correlation between Growth and development.Practical Application: Relation between GDP/Capita of countries and some important economic, investment, and sustainability dimensions to judge where a nation stands and what should be added as a prelim agenda to countries dashboard.

Authors: R. Asio John Mark , Bayucca Shallimar A. , Jimenez Edward C.
Published: December 2020

In every institution in the country, there are countless stories of children being bullied, abused, or maltreated. This can happen inside a school or outside its premises. A child protection policy is a must to protect these children. This study assesses the child protection policy awareness of teachers and the responsiveness of the schools. It also wanted to know the relationship and program implications. The researchers used a descriptive-correlation research design with the survey as the primary data-gathering tool. 146 teachers from seven different schools in a city in Bulacan, Philippines took part in the survey. The study also adopted an instrument from Macatimpag (2018). To analyze the data, the proponents used mean, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson-r. The results showed that teachers were aware of the Child Protection Policy program of the Department of Education. However, the responsiveness of the schools is not very high. There were significant differences in the results observed in the awareness of teachers and the responsiveness of the schools. In addition, there is a moderate relationship between the awareness of teachers in the Child Protection policy with the responsiveness of the school about the program. Based on the aforementioned findings of the study,the researchers have provided some implications of the study for future references.
Has the HPV vaccine approval ushered in an era of over-prevention?
Authors: Riva Catherine , Spinosa Jean-Pierre
Published: December 2020

Gardasil (Merck’s quadrivalent HPV vaccine) is the first vaccine in history to have been granted the FDA’s accelerated approval and fast track. Using unpublished documents and data, we investigated the impact of US regulators’ choices on the quality of available evidence regarding the vaccine’s efficacy in preventing high-grade cervical lesions, which are precursors of cervical cancer. We found that, as early as 2001, the accelerated approval and fast track procedures prompted FDA advisory committees to make methodological choices such that only weak claims could be made regarding the vaccine’s efficacy and to approve a product whose benefit-to-harm ratio cannot be appropriately assessed. By giving more weight to the HPV vaccine’s hypothetical promises rather than to compliance with best methodological principles, regulatory authorities’ decisions turned out to be more favorable to commercial interests than to public health thereby allowing HPV vaccine manufacturers to escape the usual burden of proof while generating huge profits. Published and unpublished results of pre-marketing trials strongly suggest that introduction of the vaccine will not lead to the expected reduction in the incidence of high-grade cervical lesions, let alone of cervical cancer. The available HPV vaccines do not target all high-risk HPV strains. Consequently, screening must be maintained. The marketing of Gardasil has thus inaugurated a new form of medical overuse in the field of prevention: the introduction of a low-value primary prevention measure (vaccination) whose effectiveness can never be completely assessed since the secondary prevention measure (screening) cannot be removed. Meanwhile, health authorities promote the product and society bears the costs of vaccination campaigns and health risks. This is a concerning outcome. Such over-prevention creates a societal and individual burden of unnecessary medical expansion that undermines science.

Pandemi virus corona (covid-19) melanda dunia. Terhitung mulai Desember 2019 hingga sekarang telah melanda ratusan negara dengan banyak korban mencapai jutaan jiwa. Tak sedikit pula korban yang terkena dampak dari berbagai kebijakan yang ditetapkan oleh masing-masing negara dalam rangka menanggulangi wabah penyakit tersebut. Hingga saat ini masih menjadi perdebatan asal muasal virus tersebut, ada yang menyebut berasal dari Wuhan China, tapi ada pula yang menyatakan berasal dari Amerika yang kemudian dibawa ke China. Sampai sekarang belum ada satupun negara yang memproklamirkan telah menemukan vaksin corona. Hingga kapan wabah ini akan berakhir dan berapa lagi korban jiwa yang akan direnggut, semuanya masih dalam upaya semua pihak yang berkepentingan khususnya para peneliti di bidang virologi, kedokteran, kesehatan dan farmasi. Mereka seakan berlomba untuk menjadi penemu dan pemenang dalam perang melawan virus corona.

Penyebaran virus yang sangat cepat menjadi sebuah perhatian khusus, bahkan beberapa negara melejit jumlah kasus dan korbannya jauh melebihi negara asal virus corona muncul yaitu China. Negara Amerika, Italia, Spanyol dan Inggris contohnya, kasus dan korban di negara tersebut sangatlah tinggi dalam rekapan jumlah setiap harinya. Banyak yang menghubungkan penyebab tersebut dengan kondisi yang berbeda di setiap negara, baik dari sisi jumlah penduduk, iklim yang ada, kebijakan pemerintahannya, dan masih ada beberapa yang lainnya menjadi pertimbangan penilaian terhadap mewabahnya virus tersebut.

Penelitian ini  mencoba menganalisa faktor-faktor yang diduga menjadi beberapa penyebab penyebaran virus corona yang begitu cepat dengan metode analisis matematika, statistik dan data mining sederhana menggunakan K-Means. Penelitian ini menghasilkan informasi mengenai pengaruh jumlah penduduk, luas wilayah dan cuaca di suatu negara terhadap perkembangan virus covid-19. Dengan demikian diharapkan bahwa informasi tersebut dapat dijadikan salah satu dasar pengambilan kebijakan terhadap langkah-langkah penanganan terhadap kasus covid-19.
Da (inter)corporeidade à depressão melancólica na psicopatologia fenomenológica de Fuchs
Authors: Monteiro Victor , Souza Camila , Moreira Virginia
Published: December 2020

Neste artigo, tivemos como objetivo revisar os fundamentos teóricos da psicopatologia fenomenológica de Thomas Fuchs no que tange a experiência do corpo na depressão melancólica. Através de pesquisas em bases de dados eletrônicas, realizamos uma revisão de literatura que investigou as obras publicadas pelo autor entre 1994 e 2018. Encontramos a corporeidade destacada como uma via de acesso à compreensão da depressão melancólica, desenvolvida no sentido da intercorporeidade ao se centrar na ideia de intersubjetividade. A intercorporeidade é a ponte de constituição ambígua da relação homem-mundo, possibilitando o compartilhamento de nossas experiências. Para Fuchs, a depressão melancólica é um transtorno da intercorporeidade, pois ao invés de conectar homem e mundo a experiência corporal torna-se um obstáculo. Fuchs contribui para a construção de uma perspectiva de humano encarnado, em que este se configura como unidade indivisível na experiência ao compreender a depressão melancólica como modo de estar no mundo do paciente.
The application example of the sensitivity analysis of the solution to coefficients of the k-ε model
Authors: Błazik-Borowa Ewa
Published: December 2020

The paper presents the dependence between the degree of approximation of flow property functions and the sensitivity coefficients which are results of sensitivity analysis of solution to the coefficients of the k-ε turbulence model. It is shown that the model coefficients are factors of derivatives in the set of equations which describes the k-ε turbulence model. Because of this fact, when the term with the given parameter is large enough then the value of this parameter, being only the factor, has also larger influence on the solution. The numerical research is preceded by the description of calculation of sensitivity coefficients and their physical sense. The problem is presented for three tasks of incompressible steady flow around square and rectangular models with use of the standard and RNG versions of the k-ε turbulence model.

Published: December 2020

A neural probe with six micro-light-emitting diodes (MicroLEDs) and 15 neural electrodes was fabricated for optogenetic application. Local field potentials, which provide information about the neural activity, were successfully recorded using the neural probe, indicating the effectiveness of the neural electrodes. The MicroLEDs on the probe exhibited highly consistent current–voltage characteristics and sufficient light output of 20 mW mm−2 at 1 mA to manipulate neural activity. The light distribution in brain tissue was simulated to estimate the optical stimulation area and a number of optically stimulated neurons. The increase in LED temperature, i.e. ΔT, was investigated because high temperatures can damage brain tissue. A curve illustrating the relationship between ΔT and the wall-plug efficiency was derived. The wall-plug efficiency was increased 1.8 times by installing an Ag mirror on the back of a MicroLED. These results suggest that the MicroLED neural probe would significantly contribute to the development of neuroscience research-purposed optogenetic technology.

GALLIUM NANOPARTICLES AS DELIVERY SYSTEM AGAINST INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND CANCER
Authors: Mandal Ardhendu Kumar
Published: December 2020

As viruses, microbes, other pathogenic microorganisms and toxic agents are responsible for global broad spectrum diseases including cancer and malignant hypercalcemia, resulting significant mortality and morbidity, nanobiotechnology-based nanoparticles are being emerged as new nanomedicines for their biological applications owing to their unique shape, size and ease surface functionalizations. To overcome drug resistance and toxicity, gallium (Ga(III)) metal nanoparticles (GaNPs) have attracted attention for their requirements for prolonged treatments, especially, against human immunodeficiency virus, mycobacterium, hypercalcemia and cancer. These nanoparticles remain stable for the longer periods owing to the formation of native and passivating 2-3 nm oxide layer. Therefore, it is needed to encapsulate the NPs with bioactive compounds within vesicular system associated ligand-binding for specific delivery to target-sites for getting better efficacies. This review depicts especially the role of GaNPs as delivery system against infectious diseases and cancer.

The Illinois Marine Transportation System (IMTS) is a key component of the nation’s inland waterway system. IMTS is comprised of 27 locks and dams, 19 port districts, more than 350 active terminals, and 1,118 miles of navigable inland waterways traversing along the borderline or within the state of Illinois. However, the infrastructure of IMTS is aging and its conditions are deteriorating. To monitor the performance of IMTS and guide infrastructure investment to enhance safety, efficiency, and reliability of the system, a comprehensive performance measurement program is needed. To this end, the objective of this project is to create an integrated, comprehensive, and maintainable database that facilitates performance measurement of maritime freight to, from, and through Illinois. To achieve this objective, a review of the literature on maritime freight transportation both in the United States and abroad was performed. To gauge practitioners’ points of view, a series of phone interviews and online surveys of Illinois’ neighboring state DOT officials, officials from the US Army Corps of Engineers, Illinois port district authorities, and carriers operating in Illinois was also conducted. With the findings from the literature review and an understanding of state DOT practices, the needed and available data sources for a maritime freight performance measurement program were identified. Building on all the above efforts, a first-of-its-kind PM database for IMTS was designed and developed, along with a detailed user manual, ready for IDOT’s immediate use and future updates. In addition, opportunities for IDOT to use the database to conduct analysis are discussed. Key programmatic recommendations that outline the role of IDOT as a champion and as a facilitator are further included. The outcome of this project will help IDOT gain much-needed knowledge of and develop programs to improve IMTS performance, increase multimodal transportation network capacity, and expand the transportation and logistics sector of the state, which ultimately benefit the people and economy of Illinois.

It is recommended that hospitals provide SIMRS that is easy to operate, in order to improve the performance of health workers with the influence of a good social environment and the conditions of the supporting facilities.
Global Giving
Authors: Bekkers René
Published: December 2020

Why do citizens in some countries take more responsibility for the well-being of others than in other countries? This project seeks to understand the genesis of prosociality, investigating its biological foundations, the influence of cultural traditions, and effects of political, economic and legal structure. The dominant theory in economics views philanthropy as a solution to social illnesses that the market and the state are not solving, a view complementary to political science theory on preferences for government provision. Sociologists focus on social norms emerging from religious traditions. Cultural evolutionary theory highlights the instrumental value of trust. Still other theories have suggested a role for natural selection of genes. However, these theories have not been tested stringently nor simultaneously. Also the project includes a very important factor largely ignored thus far: political, legal and economic institutions also affect the level of giving as well as who gives to which causes. Therefore, the objectives of Global Giving are (1) to map country differences in the size and nature of philanthropy across the world; (2) to develop and test multidisciplinary theories explaining these differences; (3) to facilitate international collaboration across disciplinary boundaries in research on philanthropy. The research draws upon 200 surveys recently harmonized by the PI and on new data on philanthropy to be collected among large samples in 145 countries across all continents. Collaboration with international networks of academics safeguards the validity of the questionnaires and experiments. Appropriate multilevel regression models will be used, the lack of which caused biases in previous research. An integrated understanding of philanthropy is useful not only for theory development, but also for government policy makers and practitioners in nonprofit organizations seeking to mobilize philanthropic contributions and make them more effective. The application in practice is ensured through collaboration with a large network of practitioners.

Published: December 2020

A mature male of Zapteryx exasperata with the absence of a right clasper is reported for the first time from the Gulf of California. Direct observations on the reproductive system did not show abnormalities or evidence of recent scarring of the right pelvic fin. It is suggested that this condition could be generated by two possible causes: congenital malformation or accidental loss in an early stage of maturity (for example, the bite of a predator).
Distractor suppression leads to reduced flanker interference
Authors: Ivanov Yavor , Theeuwes Jan
Published: December 2020

Recent studies using the additional singleton paradigm have shown that regularities in distractor locations can cause biases in the spatial priority map, such that attentional capture by salient singletons is reduced for locations that are likely to contain distractors. It has been suggested that this type of suppression is proactive (i.e., occurring before display onset). The current study replicated the original findings using an online version of the task. To further assess the suppression of high-probability locations, we employed a congruence manipulation similar to the traditional flanker effect, where distractors could be either congruent or incongruent with the response to the target. Experiment 1 shows that through statistical learning distractor suppression reduces the interference from incongruent distractors, as participants made less errors in high-probability versus low-probability conditions. In Experiment 2, participants were forced to search for a specific target feature (the so-called feature-search mode), which is assumed to allow participants to ignore distractors in a top-down manner. Yet even when this “top-down” search mode was employed, there was still a congruence effect when the distractor singleton was presented at the low-probability but not at the high-probability location. The absence, but not reversal, of a congruence effect at the high-probability location also further indicates that this distractor suppression mechanism is proactive. The results indicate that regardless of the search mode used, there is suppression of the high-probability location indicating that this location competes less for attention within the spatial priority map than all other locations.

(Behavior Research Methods, 43, 124-135, 2011) previously provided implicit causality norms. An online sentence completion study was conducted, with data analyzed from 124 respondents who completed fragments such as “John liked Mary and so…”. The resulting bias scores are presented in an Appendix, with more detail in supplementary material in the University of Sussex Research Data Repository (via 10.25377/sussex.c.5082122), where we also present lexical and semantic verb features: frequency, semantic class and emotional valence of the verbs. We compare our results with those of our study of implicit causality and with the few published studies of implicit consequentiality. As in our previous study, we also considered effects of gender and verb valence, which requires stable norms for a large number of verbs. The corpus will facilitate future studies in a range of areas, including psycholinguistics and social psychology, particularly those requiring parallel sentence completion norms for both causality and consequentiality.
Construction of pillar[4]arene[1]quinone–1,10-dibromodecane pseudorotaxanes in solution and in the solid state
Authors: Sheng Xinru , Li Errui , Huang Feihe
Published: December 2020

We report novel pseudorotaxanes based on the complexation between pillar[4]arene[1]quinone and 1,10-dibromodecane. The complexation is found to have a 1:1 host–guest complexation stoichiometry in chloroform but a 2:1 host–guest complexation stoichiometry in the solid state. From single crystal X-ray diffraction, the linear guest molecules thread into cyclic pillar[4]arene[1]quinone host molecules in the solid state, stabilized by CH∙∙∙π interactions and hydrogen bonds. The bromine atoms at the periphery of the guest molecule provide convenience for the further capping of the pseudorotaxanes to construct rotaxanes.

The regression models for prediction of contact holmium lithotripsy duration are given. Models are obtained on the basis of calculated and experimental data on duration of different stages of laser lithotripsy. They allow, based on the volume and radiological density of urinary stones and taking into account the anatomical characteristics of the patient, to calculate the expected time of complete fragmentation of the stones with a higher accuracy than on the factor of additional costs the known model based.

The article describes a conceptual approach to automating the algorithm for pre-hospital assessment of risk factors for non-communicable diseases in order to detect diseases early and monitor them later. The presented information system will allow calculating risk factors for non-communicable diseases, providing dynamic monitoring, and creating a unified register of pre-medical examinations. The information system is developed on the basis of a previously developed algorithm for pre-medical assessment of the risk of non-communicable diseases [4], and allows preliminary identification of risk factors for non-communicable diseases among the General population without conducting expensive analyses and without involving highly qualified medical professionals.

Significant expansion of telemedicine technologies was made possible by the adoption of the necessary legal regulation and initiation of the national program “Healthcare”. National research centers were assigned a mission to provide advisory and methodological support to the regional hospitals. The manuscript describes the experience of the National Research Center for Hematology in application of telemedicine technologies in order to improve the quality of specialized medical care. Progressive increase in the number of requests for telemedicine consultations was observed during the last 5 years, also due to the activities aimed at expansion of geographical coverage of telemedicine technologies and involvement of the regional doctors. In 2019 1380 requests were received from 80 regions of the Russian Federation. The largest number of requests came from the hospitals of the Central (28%) and Siberian (25%) Federal Districts. Distribution of consultations by aim, disease, regions of origin is presented in the manuscript. Telemedicine consultations significantly contribute to the implementation of precise diagnostics and monitoring of patients with blood disorders, shortening of the time of diagnosis, timely treatment initiation, help to organize correct patient referrals, ultimately reducing the risks of treatment failure, complications and lethal outcomes. Analysis of the data accumulated in the consulting National research center allows to assess the quality and effectiveness of medical care in the regional hospitals.

Background: Data on the effects of excess aldosterone on glucose metabolism are inconsistent. This study compared the changes in glucose metabolism in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) after adrenalectomy or treatment with a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA).Methods: Overall, 241 patients were enrolled; 153 underwent adrenalectomy and 88 received an MRA. Fasting glucose, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and homeostatic model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-β) were compared between the treatment groups after 1 year. Plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and factors determining HOMA-IR and PAC were evaluated.Results: No baseline differences were observed between the groups. Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-β increased in both groups and there were no significant differences in fasting glucose following treatment. Multiple regression analysis showed associations between PAC and HOMA-IR (β=0.172, P=0.017) after treatment. Treatment with spironolactone was the only risk factor associated with PAC >30 ng/dL (odds ratio, 5.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.7 to 10; P<0.001) and conferred a 2.48-fold risk of insulin resistance after 1 year compared with surgery (95% CI, 1.3 to 4.8; P=0.007).Conclusion: Spironolactone treatment might increase insulin resistance in patients with PA. This strengthened the current recommendation that adrenalectomy is the preferred strategy for patient with positive lateralization test. Achieving a post-treatment PAC of <30 ng/dL for improved insulin sensitivity may be appropriate.
Percutaneous Adrenal Radiofrequency Ablation: A Short Review for Endocrinologists
Authors: Park Byung Kwan
Published: December 2020

Image-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been accepted as a minimally invasive treatment for adrenal tumors in patients who are unable to undergo adrenalectomy. Accordingly, this treatment has become more readily available for treating functioning or non-functioning adrenal masses. Thus, endocrinologists need a better understanding of percutaneous RFA of adrenal tumors. The purpose of this review is to briefly describe the basic mechanism of RFA, indications and contraindications, patient preparation prior to RFA, type of complications, how to avoid complications, RFA procedures, and treatment outcomes.

The study of exoplanetary atmospheres relies on detecting minute changes in the transit depth at different wavelengths. To date, a number of ground- and space-based instruments have been used to obtain transmission spectra of exoplanets in different spectral bands. One common practice is to combine observations from different instruments in order to achieve a broader wavelength coverage. We present here two inconsistent observations of WASP-96 b, one by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the other by the Very Large Telescope (VLT). We present two key findings in our investigation: (1) a strong water signature is detected via the HST WFC3 observations and (2) a notable offset in transit depth (>1100 ppm) can be seen when the ground-based and space-based observations are combined. The discrepancy raises the question of whether observations from different instruments could indeed be combined. We attempt to align the observations by including an additional parameter in our retrieval studies but are unable to definitively ascertain that the aligned observations are indeed compatible. The case of WASP-96 b signals that compatibility of instruments should not be assumed. While wavelength overlaps between instruments can help, it should be noted that combining data sets remains risky business. The difficulty of combining observations also strengthens the need for next-generation instruments that possess broader spectral coverage.

We analyze the oxygen abundances of a stellar sample representative of the two major Galactic populations: the thin and thick disks. The aim is to investigate the differences between members of the Galactic disks and contribute to the understanding of the origin of oxygen chemical enrichment in the Galaxy. The analysis is based on the [O i] = 6300.30 Å oxygen line in high-resolution spectra (R ∼ 52,500) obtained from the Gaia-ESO public spectroscopic Survey (GES). By comparing the observed spectra with a theoretical data set computed in LTE with the SPECTRUM synthesis and ATLAS12 codes, we derive the oxygen abundances of 516 FGK dwarfs for which we have previously measured carbon abundances. Based on kinematic, chemical, and dynamical considerations, we identify 20 thin and 365 thick disk members. We study the potential trends of both subsamples in terms of their chemistry ([O/H], [O/Fe], [O/Mg], and [C/O] versus [Fe/H] and [Mg/H]), age, and position in the Galaxy. The main results are that (a) [O/H] and [O/Fe] ratios versus [Fe/H] show systematic differences between thin and thick disk stars with an enhanced O abundance of thick disk stars with respect to thin disk members and a monotonic decrement of [O/Fe] with increasing metallicity, even at metal-rich regime; (b) there is a smooth correlation of [O/Mg] with age in both populations, suggesting that this abundance ratio can be a good proxy of stellar ages within the Milky Way; and (c) thin disk members with [Fe/H] ≃ 0 display a [C/O] ratio smaller than the solar value, suggesting a possibly outward migration of the Sun from lower Galactocentric radii.
