Predicting Elemental Boiling Points from First Principles
Authors: Mewes Jan-Michael
Published: May 2020

The normal boiling point (NBP) is a fundamental property of any liquid and marks the intersection of the Gibb’s free energies of the liquid and the gas phase at ambient pressure. In this work, we present the first comprehensive demonstration of an approach to calculate the boiling point of atomic liquids from first-principles molecular-dynamics simulations. To this end, we combine thermodynamic integration (TDI) and perturbation theory (TPT) with a density-functional theory (DFT) Hamiltonian to deliver converged absolute liquid free energies and entropies. Linear extrapolation to the intersection with the gas phase provides NBPs, which are corrected for systematic over- or under-binding of the DFT Hamiltonian, thereby eliminating any strong dependency on the density functional. Through fine-tuning of the TDI, we reduced the walltime from weeks to about a day per element (10 − 20k core-hours), which enables extensive testing for B, Al, Na, K, Ca, Sr, Ba, Mn, Cu, Xe and Hg. This demonstrates the excellent performance and particular robustness of the approach. With a mean absolute deviation (MAD) of less than 2% from experimental references, and very similar accuracy for liquid entropies (MAD 2.3 J/(mol*K), 2% relative), the overall deviation is several times smaller than the variation between literature values for several elements.

Published: May 2020

Limitations in fuel cell electrode performance have motivated the development of ion-conducting binders (ionomers) with high gas permeability. Such ionomers have been achieved by copolymerization of perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) monomers with bulky and asymmetric monomers, leading to a glassy ionomer matrix with chemical and mechanical properties that differ substantially from common PFSA ionomers (e.g., Nafion™). In this study, we use perfluorodioxolane-based ionomers to provide fundamental insights into the role of the matrix chemical structure on the dynamics of structural and transport processes in ion-conducting polymers. Through in-situ water uptake measurements, we demonstrate that ionomer water sorption kinetics depend strongly on the properties and mass fraction of the matrix. As the PFSA mass fraction was increased from 0.26 to 0.57, the Fickian swelling rate constant decreased from 0.8 s-1 to 0.2 s-1, while the relaxation rate constant increased from 3.1×10-3 s-1 to 4.0×10-3. The true swelling rate, in nm s-1, was determined by the chemical nature of the matrix; all dioxolane-containing materials exhibited swelling rates ~1.5 - 2 nm s-1 compared to ~3 nm s-1 for Nafion. Likewise, Nafion underwent relaxation at twice the rate of the fastest-relaxing dioxolane ionomer. Reduced swelling and relaxation kinetics are due to limited matrix segmental mobility of the dioxolane-containing ionomers. We demonstrate that changes in conductivity are strongly tied to the polymer relaxation, revealing the decoupled roles of initial swelling and relaxation on hydration, nanostructure, and ion transport in perfluorinated ionomers.

Published: May 2020

Coronavirus with intact infectivity attached to PPE surfaces pose significant threat to the spread of COVID-19. We tested the hypothesis that an electroceutical fabric, generating weak potential difference of 0.5V, disrupts the infectivity of coronavirus upon contact by destabilizing the electrokinetic properties of the virion. Respiratory coronavirus particles (105) were placed in direct contact with the fabric for 1 or 5 minutes. Viral particles (2.5-4x104) were recovered from the fabric. Following one minute of contact, zeta potential of the coronavirus was significantly lowered indicating destabilization of its electrokinetic properties. Size-distribution plot showed appearance of aggregation of the virus. Testing of the cytopathic effects of the virus showed eradication of infectivity as quantitatively assessed by PI-calcein and MTT cell viability tests. This work provides the rationale to consider the studied electroceutical fabric, or other materials with comparable property, as material of choice for the development of PPE in the fight against COVID-19.

Authors: Fitri Dini Amalia
Published: May 2020

The Pancasila legal paradigm is a legal category that is unique to Indonesia, but is universally objective. This jurisprudence is based on God Almighty. This jurisprudence is loaded with the values of Almighty God and other values in the frame of the value of Almighty God. The existence and existence of this legal knowledge for the people of Indonesia is a gift. To change the paradigm of higher education in the field of law, it must start by changing education fundamentally as a dynamic subject of the reality of people's lives so that understanding of law becomes holistic, visionary, and meaningful. One way to elevate Pancasila as the nation's identity and be known by the nations of the world, is by practicing the values contained in the five principles, by synergizing Pancasila values with the legal education curriculum in Indonesia, so that it will produce law graduates who live the values of Pancasila.
INTERNATIONAL LAW INTERNATIONS AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Authors: Shatat Saleh Raed
Published: May 2020

International law, also known as public international law and law of the nation is the set of rules, norms, and standards generally accepted in relations between nations. The sources of international law include international custom (general state practice accepted as law), treaties, and general principles of lawrecognized by most national legal systems. Human Rights are the basic rights and freedoms to which all human beings are entitled, like civil and politicalrights, the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and speech/expression, equality before the law, social, cultural and economic rights, the right to food,the right to work, and the right to education. In short, human rights are freedoms established by custom or international agreements that protect the interests of humans and the conduct of governments in every nation. Human rights are distinct from civil liberties, which are freedoms established by the lawof a particular state and applied by that state in its own jurisdiction. Human rights laws have been defined by international conventions, by treaties, and by organizations, particularly the United Nations. These laws prohibit practices such as torture, slavery, summary execution without trial, and arbitrarydetention or exile.
SOCIAL ANALYSIS OF NARCOTICS ABUSE PREVENTION WOMEN
Authors: Laksana Andri Winjaya
Published: May 2020

Narcotics abuse is a serious problem experienced by various countries including Indonesia. Narcotics abuse can endanger and threaten a Nation. Narcotics problems are not only done by men but also involve women in carrying out their actions both as users and as dealers. The weak position of women in determining policy makes it easy for women to become easy targets in narcotics abuse. The lack of knowledge and understanding related to narcotics and law makes women a powerless element in the chain of narcotics distribution networks. If a woman is trapped in the illicit trafficking of narcotics, it will be feared as an example for her children to follow her actions. This has become a special concern in efforts to tackle Narcotics Crimes carried out by Women.
Modo de vida y racionalidad de la economía campesina: A propósito de las comunidades de la Edad del Bronce de la zona septentrional de El Argar
Authors: Jover Maestre Francisco Javier , Pastor Quiles María , Basso Rial Ricardo E. , López Padilla Juan Antonio
Published: May 2020

El Argar is one of the most remarkable Bronze Age archaeological cultures of the Iberian Peninsula, due to the magnitude of some of its infrastructures and the quality of its grave goods. This has led part of the research community to suggest that it may have been state-like in nature. However, not many studies reveal how this social development had to be grounded in the labour of peasant groups. Accordingly, this paper aims to more thoroughly analyse the rationale linked to the peasant economy and ways of life among the Argaric communities living in the northern areas of the El Argar social space. It also addresses the mechanisms used by the dominant groups to appropriate surplus product and labour from these peasant communities, thereby taking the first steps towards the institutionalization of social inequalities.

Published: May 2020

PT. Petrochemical Gresik is one of the firms that has a terminal to be operated by own company (Terminal for Self-interest / TUKS) which supports the activity of unloading raw materials for production and loading activities to load production results. However, in carrying out its operational activities, it still causes demurrage which is a penalty that must be paid by the shipper to shipowner because it exceeds the time limit agreed in the contract of the ship. In this study, an analysis will be carried out on how to identify waste, analyze the causes of waste in the loading and unloading performance of the ship, and analyze how to minimize the factors causing demurrage in TUKS PT. Petrochemical Gresik. The research method used is lean six sigma by integrating the concept of lean process (7 waste) to the six sigma tools namely DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control). The results of the research at the define phase can be identified into twenty-one CTQ (Critical to Quality) with the highest waste value, namely the internal equipment breakdown category which will only be analyzed further. Subsequently, the measurement phase is identified by the value of DPMO (Defect per Million Opportunities) and six sigma capabilities. Furthermore, the analyze phase is done by finding the root of the problem using fishbone diagrams and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) to attain the value of RPN (Risk Priority Number) and the highest five RPN values. One out of the five causes that are recommended to be prioritized in the handling is operators do not work according to SOP. Finally, in the improvement phase, the new SOP from the results of discussions / interviews was made with the expert judgment related to the operation of the unloading equipment at TUKS PT. Petrochemical Gresik. By this study, lean six sigma can be applied to minimize the occurrence of demurrage by PT. Petrochemical Gresik and other industrial ports.

Published: May 2020

Work engagement (positive working mind and emotion) in frontline employees (FLEs) plays an important role that will affect the capability of the organization in serving its customer. The goal of this research is to examine whether there were differences in the influence of service climate, job satisfaction, and affective commitment toward work engagement in high-contact and low-contact frontline employees in Jakarta and Tangerang; and whether there were influences of work engagement toward adaptability behavior as well as career commitment among high-contact and low-contact frontline employees. Questionnaire is administered to 200 FLEs from multiple high and low contact service industries in Jakarta and Tangerang. Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) is used to test hypotheses. The author found there were almost no differences among high-contact and low-contact frontline employees except on the job satisfaction, where there was no significant influence toward work engagement in frontline low-contact employee which was in contrast with the frontline high-contact employee. This research will enrich the discourse on the relationship between job satisfaction and work engagement. This finding provides empirical evidence on a limited scale that in certain segmentation, especially for low-contact workers, job satisfaction did not have a positive influence on work engagement.
İslam Medeniyetine Katkıları Açısından Engelliler
Authors: AKYÜZOĞLU İlyas
Published: May 2020

Medeniyet sözcüğünü dört başı mamur, kapsam ve sınırlılıklarını net bir şekilde ortaya koyarak tarif etmeye çalışmak sosyal bilimler alanında karşılaşılan en büyük zorluklardan bir tanesidir. Medeniyetin kısaca tarifinin zorluğu ifade ettiği anlamın çok kapsamlı olmasından kaynaklanmakla birlikte biz yine de “insanoğlunun, yeryüzündeki hayatı güzel, yaşanabilir, sürdürülebilir bir hale getirmek için ortaya koymuş olduğu maddi ve manevi çabaların tümü” şeklinde tarif edersek tanımlamanın daha isabetli olacağını düşünmekteyiz. İnsanoğlunun yeryüzünü yaşanabilir hale getirme adına ortaya koyduğu çabalarının ürünü olan medeniyetlerin gücü ve büyüklüğü, ürettikleri maddi/manevi değerlerin etkinliği ile doğru orantılıdır. Burada maddi değerler genelde medeniyetlerin gücünü, manevi değerler ise büyüklüğünü temsil eder. Dünyadaki gelmiş-geçmiş medeniyetlere göz attığımızda ise maddi gücünü koruyamayan medeniyetlerin tarih sahnesindeki etkinliklerinin ya zayıfladığını ya da ortadan kalktığını görürüz. Bunlardan maddi gücünü kaybetmiş olmasına rağmen hala etkinliğini sürdüreni ise İslam medeniyetidir. Çünkü İslam medeniyeti manevi değerler üzerinde yükselmiş, maddi gücü ise sonradan elde etmiştir. İslam medeniyetini değerli ve güçlü kılan şeylerin başında ise insana, Allah’ın yarattığı en saygıdeğer varlık gözüyle bakması gelir. İnsan, insan olması hasebiyle değerlidir. Dili, ırkı, rengi veya engeli yüzünden ayrımcılığa tabi tutulmaz.Çalışmada İslam medeniyetinin inşa edildiği ilk yüzyıllarda yaşamış ve bu sürece katkıda bulunmuş/katkılarıyla ön plana çıkmış olan engelli bireyler ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca engellilerin rengi, dili, etnik kökeni hatta konu İslam medeniyeti olmasına rağmen dini aidiyetleri dahi araştırma konusu yapılmamıştır; önemli olan İslam medeniyetinin inşa sürecine olan katkılarıdır. Nitekim İslam düşünce felsefesinde ve bu düşüncenin yansıması olan medeniyetinde engelliler, toplumsal yapının aksayan değil ayrılmaz parçasıdırlar. Bu yaklaşımın bir tezahürü olarak İslam coğrafyasında engelli bireyler azami derecede topluma entegre olmuşlar, üretkenlikleri ile de medeniyetin inşasına ve yükselmesine büyük katkılarda bulunmuşlardır.

Published: May 2020

The objective of this study was to determine the appropriate concentration of dietary supplementation of turmeric powder, and its effect on thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) and fatty acid composition in thigh and breast meat of broiler chickens. Three hundred fifty (175 male and 175 female), one day old Ross-308 broiler chicks were used in this study. A corn-soybean meal based diet containing different levels of turmeric powder (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 g/kg) and a single dose of chlortetracycline (10 mg/kg) was used. The result revealed that dietary supplementation of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 g/kg of turmeric powder decreased TBARS in thigh meat at 5th day when compared with control. The addition of 4 g/kg turmeric powder to the basal diet increased DHA, SFA and omega-3 in breast meat. DHA and SFA were increased by dietary 2 g/kg turmeric powder in thigh meats. Under the conditions of this experiment, it was concluded that turmeric powder may positive effects on tissue fatty acid compositions and shelf life of meat (TBARS). As a result, it was observed that there were positive effects on tissue fatty acid compositions and shelf life of meat (TBARS) by adding 4 g/kg turmeric powder

Effects of temperatures on pressure-induced structural changes in amorphous Si: A molecular-dynamics study
Authors: Mukuno Renji , Ishimaru Manabu
Published: May 2020

The structural changes of amorphous silicon (a-Si) under compressive pressure were examined by molecular-dynamics simulations using the Tersoff interatomic potential. a-Si prepared by melt-quenching methods was pressurized up to 30 GPa under different temperatures (300K and 500K). The density of a-Si increased from 2.26 to 3.24 g/cm3 with pressure, suggesting the occurrence of the low-density to high-density amorphous phase transformation. This phase transformation occurred at the lower pressure with increasing the temperature because the activation barrier for amorphous-to-amorphous phase transformation could be exceeded by thermal energy. The coordination number increased with pressure and time, and it was saturated at different values depending on the pressure. This suggested the existence of different metastable atomic configurations in a-Si. Atomic pair-distribution functions and bond-angle distribution functions suggested that the short-range ordered structure of high-density a-Si is similar to the structure of the high-pressure phase of crystalline Si (β-tin and Imma structures).
A computational study of cysteine and glutathione binding to Au8 cluster
Authors: Nguyen Thanh Si , Pham Vu Nhat
Published: May 2020

The interaction between the Au8 cluster with cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) is investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) using the PBE functional in conjunction with the cc-pVTZ basis set for non-metal atoms and the cc-pVTZ-PP basis set for gold. Harmonic vibrational frequencies are also calculated to confirm optimized geometries as local minima or transition states on the potential energy surfaces. The computed results show that these molecules prefer to anchor on the gold cluster via the sulfur atom with the adsorption energies of 20.3 and 30.8 kcal/mol for CYS and GSH, respectively, in the gas phase. In water, such values are considerably reduced, namely 19.0 kcal/mol for CYS and 26.4 kcal/mol for GSH. If a visible light with a frequency of v = 6x1014 Hz (500 nm) is applied, the time for the recovery of CYS and GSH from the most stable complexes will be about 1.24 and 6.03x107 seconds at 298 K in the gas phase. Such values significantly reduce to 0.14 and 4.08x104 in water. Thus, the Au8 cluster could be a promising material for designing tiny sensors in CYS and GSH selective detection.

Published: May 2020

Exercising is said to bring benefits to people taking part in, not only physical but also physiological gain. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is an important marker reflecting the function of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which has shown potentials in some exercise therapy and sport physiology studies. HRV analysis is said to be used for getting a better understanding of our body’s response to exercise and the reaction to different stressors from the workout. Thus, it is essential to monitor and optimize the recovery to avoid overtraining. This study aims to investigate the influence of HRV reflecting the physical stress level on participants when exercising, therefore, building a concept of self-training guide to improve the adaptation and performance. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is acquired by the BIOPAC system over 10 healthy college students during a proposed training protocol on the stationary bike, and post-exercising. HRV data from ECG is analyzed in time, frequency and nonlinear domains to extract various features to evaluate physiological recovery status, manage physical fatigue, intensity adjustment. From the evaluation of these indexes, participants are able to keep track of their physiological condition as well as to have more effective training exercises.

Published: May 2020

In Vietnam, the number of people with limb defects or diseases that affect the ability of limbs is increasing [1]. They were reduced or incapable of living, unable to walk, to run, and utilities around them became useless. Therefore, it is imperative to build a patient support system in controlling external devices. Recognizing the problem, the author has studied, researched, and built a wheelchair control system based on speech recognition and eye movement. In this study, the eye movement system is at the simple level: glance left and right. The system uses an image processing method to locate the pupil. The external device for testing is a car model that control by Arduino connected via Bluetooth. Experimental evaluation results show that the eye movement system achieves high accuracy of over 70%. However, the eye movement system by image processing takes a lot of time to process for a command. All of the above shows the feasibility of developing an external control device for people with disabilities.

Published: May 2020

Near-infrared transillumination imaging is useful in many biomedical applications such as human biometrics and animal experiments. Using near-infrared (NIR) light, we can able to obtain a two dimensional (2D) transillumination image of the internal absorption structure such as blood vessel structure, liver ... in a small animal body. If we can obtain projection images from many orientations, we can reconstruct a three dimensional (3D) image using various computed tomography techniques. In previous studies of our group, even with a simple system (light-emitting diode (LED)'s array and low-cost camera), we can obtain the blood vessel transillumination image of the human arm. In this paper, we propose preliminary research on the development of a computed tomography (CT) scanner prototype of human body parts using transillumination imaging.
Environment map generation in forest using field robot

Published: May 2020

We are developing an autonomous field robot to save labor in forest operation. About half of Japan's artificial forest area is already available as wood. However, trees are not harvested and forest resources are not effectively used, because the labor and costs are not sufficient. The employment rate of young people in forestry tends to decline, and the unmanaged forest area is expected to increase in the future. Therefore, in our laboratory we propose an autonomous field robot with all terrain vehicles (ATV) that focuses on the automation of work. The robot we are developing automates weeding and observation for all trees in the forest. In this research, we introduced Robot Operating System (ROS) developed in recent years to this robot. In addition, we observed trees by generating an environmental map in the forest using Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM).

Published: May 2020

This study addresses the development of a robot for inspection of old bridges. By suspending the robot with a wire and controlling the wire length, the movement of the robot is realized. The robot mounts a high-definition camera and aims to detect cracks on the concrete surface of the bridge using this camera. An inspection method using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been proposed. Compared to the method using an unmanned aerial vehicle, the wire suspended robot system has the advantage of insensitivity to wind and ability to carry heavy equipments, this makes it possible to install a high-definition camera and a cleaning function to find cracks that are difficult to detect due to dirt.
Translanguaging as a boundary crossing mechanism: A Turkish-American Youngster and her linguistic negotiation of three discursive spaces
Authors: Yilmaz Tuba , De Jong Ester
Published: May 2020

In order to effectively respond to the increased linguistic and cultural diversity in the U.S. schools and close the consistently documented achievement gap between culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students and mainstream students, teachers need to take an asset-based approach and be able to draw on CLD students’ entire funds of linguistic knowledge. However, few studies have examined CLD students’ linguistic choices in multiple discursive spaces with different linguistic norms, values and practices. This article addresses this research gap through a case study of Elif, a Turkish American student and her linguistic boundary crossing experiences within and across three discursive spaces: her home, her Turkish heritage language school, and her mainstream school. Through in-depth analysis of interviews, observations, and field notes, the study revealed that Elif experienced different linguistic environments and boundary types. She negotiated experiences that ranged from smooth to managed to insurmountable boundaries. Finally, translanguaging practices acted as a key boundary object that mediated sociocultural discontinuities in the Turkish heritage language school, and facilitated Elif’s experiences between Turkish dominant and English dominant discursive spaces.

A National Examination is commonly known as a standardised test held by a country, such as Indonesia, to gauge the students’ competence and the quality of their schools. Many people argue that the national examination implementation is likely to have positive and negative effects, not only on students but also on schools. This study aims to investigate the positive and negative effects of the National Examination of English subject in Indonesian junior high schools concerning English teachers’ classroom teaching and students’ learning. This study used a narrative literature review study, which reviews critiques and summarizes the literature body and draws conclusions regarding the topic question. By examining literature available and the authors’ experiences in doing the national examination as the participant and preparing students to face the examination, this paper showed that the National Examination of English emerges to have more negative impacts than positive ones. The result of this paper presents the authors’ recommendation to be used by key stakeholders in Indonesia that they should re-design the national examination to measure the students’ border competence effectively and objectively in English subject.

Published: May 2020

O presente artigo objetiva analisar, mesmo que superficialmente por se tratarem de eventos muito recentes e ainda em andamento, a crise democrática sofrida pela Bolívia no final do ano de 2019. Crise esta que culminou na renúncia do então presidente Evo Morales, importante figura do processo de mudanças sociais que levaram à Constituição de 2009, com todas as suas peculiaridades, e a chegada ao poder de grupos que possuem propostas muito afastadas do ideário até então vigente naquele país. O grupo que antes formava a oposição ao governo e que agora se encontra investido do poder político se mostra, ao menos por enquanto, disposto a tratar a democracia boliviana por modelos distintos do desenvolvido e determinado pela Constituição de 2009, deixando de lado questões marcantes daquela sociedade como a diversidade, a multiculturalidade, a plurinacionalidade e o protagonismo dos povos originários. No lugar da democracia andina que se apresentava até então na Bolívia, o grupo que se colocou em posição de poder parece estar mais inclinado a se utilizar de modelos democráticos que já haviam sido superados, baseados na imposição de uma cultura única e dominante, cultura esta que se mostra conservadora e baseada em conceitos de uma religião cristã e de uma visão de modernidade central como caminho único e necessário para todos os povos, independentemente de seus contextos históricos, sociais e culturais específicos. Tal volta a modelos anteriores parece, para esta autora, como um retrocesso que tem potencial de trazer muitos prejuízos e pouquíssimas vantagens para aquele país.

O texto reflete sobre a obrigatoriedade de os Estados-Nação do Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos implementarem políticas públicas educativas de gênero e de saúde pública, com vista à realização da igualdade material e à construção de uma democracia de gênero, tendo por base o julgamento do caso Gonzáles e outras vs. México (Campo Algodonero) pela Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos. Menciona breve evolução histórica dos momentos dos feminismos na academia e na prática ao longo do século XX até os dias atuais, sob enfoque multidisciplinar das ciências sociais. Parte do paradigma do desenvolvimento sustentável, em especial no aspecto social, e indica a evolução histórico-normativa da proteção do direito humano à igualdade de gênero em níveis global e interamericano. Embora o detalhamento de políticas públicas não seja objeto específico deste trabalho, ao final, elaboram-se reflexões prospectivas acerca dos efeitos jurídicos advindos do julgamento do caso a partir do “Diálogo de Cortes”. A metodologia de análise pauta-se na utilização das ferramentas do estudo bibliográfico-jurisprudencial-documental.
CONFLITOS, COMUNIDADE E ESTADO

Published: May 2020

O presente artigo pretende investigar as origens dos conflitos sociais e o modo como seu surgimento em uma sociedade desigual não só segrega, mas dificulta a resolução efetiva e que transcenda uma contenda específica evitando, assim, o surgimento de demandas da mesma natureza envolvendo atores próximos. Para tal são analisadas as obras Amor Líquido, Modernidade Líquida e Medo Líquido de Zygmunt Bauman que, complementadas, pelo pensamento de outros autores como Roberto Esposito e Jurgen Habermas, nos confronta com a relação construída entre comunidade e o Poder Judiciário.

Objective Little has been explored about a reflection towards self-image in schizophrenia, though it can be related to heterogeneous symptoms of the illness. We identified the neural basis of ambivalence towards ideal self-image in patients with schizophrenia.Methods 20 patients with schizophrenia and 20 healthy controls underwent functional MRI while the self-image reflection tasks of determining whether to agree with sentences describing their actual or ideal self-image that contained one of the adjective pairs with opposite valence. The interaction between the group and ideal ambivalence score was examined, and group differences in functional connectivity related to ambivalence towards ideal self-image were further studied.Results The interaction of group-by-ideal ambivalence score was shown in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, where activities were positively correlated with the level of ideal self-image ambivalence in patients, but not in controls. Task-related decrease in functional connectivity was shown between the orbitofrontal cortex and cerebellum in patients.Conclusion The process of reflecting on ambivalent ideal self-image in schizophrenia may be related to aberrant prefrontal activity and connectivity. Abnormality in the prefrontal regions that take part in cognitive conflict monitoring and value judgment may underlie the pathophysiology of increased ambivalence towards ideal self-image.

Published: May 2020

The objective: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using hormone replacement therapy with testosterone in combination with iFDE-5 (udenafil) in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men with androgen deficiency associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).Materials and methods. The study involved 20 patients with type 2 diabetes and signs of ED on the background of secondary hypogonadism. Before treatment, patients underwent a standard clinical examination in a urological hospital, after which they were equally divided into two groups using a «tossed coin». Patients of group I (n = 10) received testosterone HRT at a dose of 50 mg / day for 12 weeks, patients of group II (n=10) used testosterone hormone combined with udenafil (100–200 mg/day twice and more than once a week) also for 12 weeks.Results. It was proved that after 12 weeks of therapy, the level of total testosterone in the combination therapy group increased from 6.6±1.3 to 17.1±4.2 nmol/ml, while in the monotherapy group the changes were less pronounced – from 5,6±1.2 to 13.3±2.3 nmol/ml. An important indicator for patients with type 2 diabetes – glucose level – also showed significant changes in the combination therapy group: from 10.2±2.7 to 6.9±1.6 mmol/l compared with the results of the monotherapy group: from 9,9±2.4 to 8.1±1.5 mmol/l.Conclusion. Erectile dysfunction therapy in men with androgen deficiency in patients with type 2 diabetes with hormone replacement therapy with testosterone in combination with phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (udenafil) can be an effective alternative to traditional hormone replacement therapy, but further research is needed in this direction.

Authors: О. Д. Нікітін
Published: May 2020

The revealed features of the immune response in patients with various forms of infertility indicate their pathogenetic significance in reproductive function disorders. This is especially true for patients with excretory-toxic genesis of infertility, the activation of a humoral link of immunity which is associated with a lack of cellular link. Such data theoretically substantiate the expediency of prescribing immunomodulatory drugs in the complex treatment of such patients. The analysis of the results showed that clinical recovery was observed in 88 (59.45%) patients, improvement of laboratory parameters – in 41 (27.7%), absence of positive effect – in 19 (12.83%) of the subjects. During the microscopic examination of the secretion of the prostate gland before and after treatment, a significant decrease in the leukocyte response was observed: in the third group, from 84.3±6.1 to 14.1±1.7, in the IV group – from 79.7±5.5 to 16.1±4.1. In a controlled trial of ejaculate 3 months after the end of therapy, the number of sperm in 1 ml increased from 34.56±3.87 to 57.09±4.64 inthe third group and from 37.94±5.04 to 40.41±3.82 ingroup IV, the mobility increased from 27.69±4.01 to 47.33±2.31 and from 29.03±3.22 to 36.27±3.28, respectively, the number of live was increased from 38.92±3.47 to 46.93±3.48 inthe third group and from 36.88±4.01 to 40.18±2.48 inthe IV group, the number of pathological forms decreased from 46.35±3.27 to 24.382.92 inthe third group and from 48.30±4.29 to 39.89±3.92 inthe IV group.Integrated immunomodulatory therapy in patients with excretorytoxic infertility has demonstrated its effectiveness in 94.6% of patients, which is confirmed by reliable changes in the parameters of the concentration of sperm, their mobility and the content of pathological forms.

The objective: determination of the effect of tamsulosin on the reduction of symptoms associated with post-ejaculatory pain (PEB) in persons with chronic prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia.Materials and methods. On the basis of the State Institution “Institute of Urology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine”, outpatient supervision for year included 150 male patients from 31 to 57 years old, who were selected from a common cohort for the first time to see a urologist for people with symptoms of ESP. The patients were divided according to the principle of nosology: 47 with chronic abacterial prostatitis in unstable remission (group I), 51 with chronic bacterial prostatitis in unstable remission (group II) and 52 with BPH grade 1 (group III).Results. In individuals of the І, ІІ and ІІІ groups, the disappearance/sharp decrease in the symptoms of PEB by 90 days was, respectively in 83,0%, 94,1% and 71,1% of patients from the primary data. Also, when interviewing patients, they indicated a decrease in the severity (strength) of post-ejaculatory pain, mainly during the first 30 days of treatment.Conclusion. The use of tamsulosin is an effective strategy aimed at reducing the manifestations of post-ejaculatory pain, complicating the course of chronic prostatitis of any origin and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Published: May 2020

The objective: to study to determine state of erectile function and androgen support in men with diabetes mellitus type 2 and obesity.Materials and methods. A total of 56 men aged 35 to 65 years old were examined from CD2 (38 with obesity (group I) and 18 without obesity (group II)) and 82 healthy men who formed a control group. In blood, the concentration of follytropin (FSH), lutropin (LH), total testosterone (Ttot), testosterone free (Tfree), estradiol (E2), sex steroid binding globulin (SSBH) and prolactin (PRL) were determined by immunoferment method. The obesity criterion was considered as body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m2. The state of erectile function was investigated using the International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire (IIEF-15).Results. The average blood serum levesl of Ttot and Tfree in both groups of patients were lower thsn in the control group. The average levels of estradiol in blood of , Group I patients were significantly higher compared to patients in Group ІІ. The average levels of pituitary hormones: FSH, LH and PRL in the patients of both examined groups were not significantly different from those in control group. The results of MIEF-15 inmen with type 2 diabetes and androgen deficiency revealed a marked decrease in all indicators of erectile function in the examined groups compared with the control ones. A more pronounced decrease in integrative indexes of MIEF-15 questionnair were in the subjects with obesity.Conclusions. The obtained data (reduction of erectile function, orgasm, libido) indicate the presence of a violation of the hormonal component of the regulation of the sexual function in men with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
