Published: July 2020

The scope and purpose of the SAE Recommended Practice is to provide standards for the control and indication of parking brakes in hydraulic braked vehicles over 4540 kg (10000 lb) GVWR. This recommended practice pertains to automatic transmission applications and supplements the SAE J915 recommended practice. This recommended practice does not address parking brake system performance. Parking brake system performance, both static and dynamic conditions, is the responsibility of the OEM vehicle manufacturer or manufacturers that modify the vehicle by adding special vocational required equipment (such as but not limited to outriggers, cranes, etc.).
Postharvest quality of achachairú (Garcinia gardneriana) stored at ambient temperature
Authors: Cotty-Más Marlyn , Chávez-Jáuregui Rosa N. , Wessel-Beaver Linda
Published: July 2020

Achachairú is a tropical fruit that is being evaluated for its potential as a new fruit crop for Puerto Rico. More information is needed concerning postharvest aspects of this fruit. In this paper we describe the physical and chemical characteristics of achachairú during storage at ambient temperature. During each of three harvest years, 75 to 100 fruits were harvested, washed and dried, then divided into five groups. Each group was placed in an open cardboard box and randomly assigned to one of five storage treatments (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 days at 25 ± 2 °C, 75 ± 5% relative humidity). Physical and chemical properties, including sugar content, were determined for each storage period. Sensory panels evaluated fruits after 0 and 15 days of storage. Over the 20-day storage period fruit weight, size (length and diameter), firmness and pulp weight decreased by 1.5% to 2.5% per day. The rating of external fruit appearance (evaluated on a hedonic scale) deteriorated in a curvilinear fashion over time, initially changing little, and then showing increased deterioration (dark spots and wrinkling) starting at 15 days post storage. Total soluble solids (°Brix) (TSS) increased over time by 0.8 to 1.6% per day, while total titratable acid (TTA) decreased 1.4 to 3.0% per day, resulting in an increase of the sugar-acid ratio (TSS/TTA) of 2.1 to 12.4% per day over 20 days of storage. Sucrose was the most abundant sugar (7.19 g/100 g), followed by fructose (3.38 g/100 g) and glucose (3.18 g/100 g). Panelists judged the sweetness, aroma, acidity, juiciness and overall flavor not to have changed after 15 days of storage. Results of this study suggest that achachairú can be stored at ambient temperature for 15 days and maintain fruit quality acceptable to the consumer.
AVALIAÇÃO IN VITRO DO EXTRATO HIDROALCOÓLICO E AQUOSO DE GENGIBRE (Zingiber officinale [WILLD.] ROSCOE) SOBRE O FUNGO Lasiodiplodia theobromae

Published: July 2020

O objetivo é buscar métodos alternativos ao uso de defensivos agrícolas nas plantações agrícolas de grande escala. Assim, na tentativa de encontrar uma alternativa ao controle de doenças no campo, menos agressivo, surge métodos alternativos com extratos de plantas que apresentam propriedades antifúngicas. Dentre estas plantas, se encontra o gengibre, uma espécie de importância medicinal, aromática e condimentar que pertencente à família Zingiberaceae. Questiona-se se a aplicação dos extratos hidroalcoólico e aquoso de gengibre (Zingiberofficinale [WILLD.] Roscoe) podem interferir nas atividades fisiológicas do fungo Lasiodiplodia theobromae in vitro. A metodologia de pesquisa foi exploratória, descritiva e qualitativa/quantitativa. O trabalho foi realizado nos Laboratórios Múltiplo I e no de Ciências Biológicas da Faculdade Maria Milza (FAMAM), no campus de Governador Mangabeira. O isolado fúngico utilizado na pesquisa foi obtido a partir de lesões características da podridão da raiz da mandioca. O isolado foi conservado em placas de Petri contendo o meio Batata-Dextrose-Ágar (BDA) em geladeira. As análises realizadas nesta pesquisa mostraram que o extrato hidroalcoólico e aquoso de gengibre nas concentrações acima de 15% mostraram as maiores interferências no crescimento, na esporulação e germinação de conídios do fungo, impedindo o seu desenvolvimento in vitro. Em virtude destes resultados promissores, seria interessante a realização de outras análises levando em consideração este fator sistema (extrato de gengibre e o fungo L. theobromae) analisando outros parâmetros que possam servir de base confirmatória da ação fungitóxica do extrato de gengibre.

INTERAÇÕES MEDICAMENTOSAS E EFEITOS ADVERSOS RELACIONADOS AO USO DE FITOTERÁPICOS
Authors: Souza Renata Jesus de , Barboza Eduardo Mateus dos Santos , Cerqueira Tiana Pereira dos Santos
Published: July 2020

O artigo descreve a importância do cuidado no uso de medicamentos fitoterápicos e suas possíveis complicações. A metodologia de levantamento bibliográfico utilizou as bases de dados da SCIELO, MEDLINE. Através dos dados observou-se que o crescente aumento de reações adversas pelo uso de fitoterápicos é na maior parte das vezes relacionado com a falta de conhecimento da população, a automedicação utilizando esses "medicamentos" sem cautela. Diante disso torna-se evidente a necessidade da conscientização da população para o uso adequado dos fitoterápicos para que ela possa aproveitar os benefícios desses medicamentos sem por sua saúde em risco.

Authors: Anwar Iryana
Published: July 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan megetahui, hubungan kewenangan kerja antara Auditor BPKP provinsi Sulawesi Selatan dengan Institusi kepolisian Polda Sulawesi selatan, kedudukan hukum hasil audit auditor BPKP dihubungkan dengan alat bukti dalam hukum acara pidana, serta kendala dalam pelaksanaan audit auditor BPKP perwakilan Provinsi Sulawesi selatan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif, dengan menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data yang bersumber dari data sekunder yaitu, bahan hukum primer, sekunder, tersier, dan untuk mendukung data sekunder maka digunakan teknik wawancara kepada penyidik Institusi kepolisian Daerah Sulawesi selatan, dan Auditor BPKP perwakilan Sulawesi Selatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa BPKP merupakan salah satu lembaga pemerintah yang bekerja berdasarkan Keppres No. 103 Tahun 2001, yang mengatur bahwa BPKP mempunyai wewenang melaksanakan tugas pemerintah di bidang pengawasan keuangan dan pembangunan sesuai dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku, sedangkan Kejaksaan sebagai pemegang wewenang untuk melakukan penyelidikan, penyidikan erhadap kasus tindak pidana korupsi yang membangun kerjasama dengan BPKP. We               wenang kerja antara Auditor BPKP perwakilan Provinsi Sul-sel dan Institusi Kaepolisian Daerah Sul-sel hanya berdasarkan permintaan bantuan untuk melakukan penghitungan kerugian keuangan dan perekonomian Negara yang dilandasi dalam kesepakatan kerjasama atau Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) diantara Institusi Polri dan BPKP, sehingga disimpulkan BPKP perwakilan Sulawesi Selatan memang memiliki peranan dalam mengungkap adanya indikasi tindak pidana korupsi namun  kewenangan yang dimiliki  BPKP hanya berdasar pada hubungan permintaan penghitungan kerugian keuangan Negara dan atau perekonomian negara diwilayah hukum Polda sul-sel, dimana apabila laporan hasil audit dari auditor BPKP perwakilan Sulawesi Selatan menyatakan sudah terdapat kerugian negara maka Penyidik Polri Polda meningkatkan tahap penyelidikan ke tahap Penyidikan untuk melakukan serangkaian tindakan penyidikan, namun apabila laporan hasil audit yang diterbitkan Auditor BPKP perwakilan Sulawesi Selatan menyatakan tidak ada kerugian Negara maka penyelidikan akan dihentikan dengan kesimpulan bukan merupakan tindak pidana korupsi.

Tecendo relações entre sentido e não-sentido na cognição enativa
Authors: Kroeff Renata Fischer da Silveira , Gavillon Póti Quartiero , Maraschin Cleci
Published: July 2020

Neste artigo, discutimos a definição de não-sentido e sua relação com a produção de sentido na teoria enativa da cognição. Tomamos como ponto de partida a publicação “Enactive Cognition at the Edge of Sense-Making: Making Sense of Non-Sense”, organizada por Massimiliano Cappuccio e Tom Froese, por ser uma obra pioneira em relação ao tema. A importância da produção de sentido para a relação entre percepção e ação é abordada a partir de diferentes aspectos. Discutimos as proposições centrais das teorias da autopoiese e da enação, a partir das quais são produzidas três formas de compreender o não-sentido segundo uma perspectiva enativa. Nessas três abordagens, os autores contemporâneos sugerem que o não-sentido se constitui como elemento intermediário ou mediador em processos de produção de sentido. Por fim, discutimos a relação entre não-sentido e sentido, sugerindo uma articulação entre os domínios sensório-motor e linguístico a partir de uma definição não antagônica de saber-sobre e saber-fazer.

Political instability has limited the development of Guinea-Bissau’s institutional capacity.
For example, tensions between the President and the leadership of the country’s largest political party led to six changes of government between the 2014 and 2019 parliamentary elections.
Previous IMF capacity development reports, ECF program reviews staff reports, and other
diagnosis undertaken by the World Bank and the European Union have pointed to structural governance weaknesses and proposed corrective measures, in some cases, similar to those highlighted in this report. Regrettably, traction has been limited.

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to hit hard Myanmar’s economy via weaker exports, tourism, remittances and domestic demand. The economic and social costs of a widespread outbreak could be large, against the backdrop of a frail healthcare system and inadequate social safety nets, as well as already low international reserves and a fragile banking system. The measures to contain and alleviate the effects of the pandemic open up sizeable BOP and fiscal financing gaps in the near term.

Introduction

Thymomas and thymic carcinoma (TC) are the most common neoplasms localised in the thymus. These diseases are poorly understood, but progress made in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has provided novel data on their molecular pathology.

Material and methods

Genomic DNA was isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin- embedded tumour tissue. We investigated somatic variants in 35 thymoma patients using amplicon-based TruSeq Amplicon Cancer Panel (TSACP) that covers 48 cancer related genes. We also analysed three samples from healthy individuals by TSACP platform and 32 healthy controls using exome sequencing.

Results

The total number of detected variants was 4447, out of which 2906 were in the coding region (median per patient 83, range: 2–300) and 1541 were in the non-coding area (median per patient 44, range: 0–172). We identified four genes, APC, ATM, ERBB4, and SMAD4, having more than 100 protein-changing variants. Additionally, more than 70% of the analysed cases harboured protein-changing variants in SMAD4, APC, ATM, PTEN, KDR, and TP53. Moreover, this study revealed 168 recurrent variants, out of which 15 were shown to be pathogenic. Comparison to controls revealed that the variants we reported in this study were somatic thymoma-specific variants. Additionally, we found that the presence of variants in SMAD4 gene predicted shorter overall survival in thymoma patients.

Conclusions

The most frequently mutated genes in thymoma samples analysed in this study belong to the EGFR, ATM, and TP53 signalling pathways, regulating cell cycle check points, gene expression, and apoptosis. The results of our study complement the knowledge of thymoma molecular pathogenesis.

Introduction

Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are widely identified as promi­sing and novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of human diseases. This study investigated the clinical value of miR-532-5p for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (CAS) patients and detected its predictive value for the occurrence of future cerebral ischaemic events (CIE).

Material and methods

Serum expression of miR-532-5p was measured using qRT-PCR. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of miR-532-5p in asymptomatic CAS patients, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The predictive value of miR-532-5p for the occurrence of CIE was evaluated by using Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox regression analysis.

Results

Serum expression of miR-532-5p was identified to be significantly decreased in CAS patients compared with healthy controls. The ROC curve with an AUC of 0.903 indicated high diagnostic accuracy of serum miR-532-5p expression in asymptomatic CAS patients. As Kaplan-Meier analysis results suggested, more CIE events were observed in cases with low miR-532-5p expression. Low miR-532-5p and high degree of carotid stenosis were independent factors for the occurrence of CIE in asymptomatic CAS patients.

Conclusions

The study suggests the potential clinical value of miR-532-5p for the early diagnosis of asymptomatic CAS patients. MiR-532-5p might have predictive value for the risk of future CIE in asymptomatic CAS patients.
Haematological abnormalities in systemic sclerosis
Authors: Wielosz Ewa , Majdan Maria
Published: July 2020

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterised by extremely high heterogeneity. This heterogeneity concerns the organ involvement, course of disease and prognosis. Unlike in some other systemic connective tissue diseases, especially systemic lupus erythematosus, in SSc haematological disorders occur rarely. When they develop, they affect erythrocytes, leucocytes and platelets. The most common cause of this pathology of erythrocyte abnormalities is microcytic anaemia resulting from micro-haemorrhages with telangiectasias within the digestive mucosa in patients with SSc. In SSc patients with severe haematological disturbances, the differential diagnosis should include overlapping with another systemic connective tissue disease or a haemato-oncological disease (lympho/myeloproliferative syndrome). In SSc patients with monoclonal proteins or cryoglobulins, it is essential to consider a haemato-oncological disease. In such cases, the differential diagnosis should be focused on a paraneoplastic syndrome, especially when the haematological symptoms develop shortly after the diagnosis of SSc and in the elderly.
The changing role of ultrasonography examination in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in light of recent studies

Published: July 2020

For many years, ultrasonography (US) has been a widely accepted modality used for joint assessment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Given the efficacy of present day therapies, there is scepticism whether it is required in the first place. The most recent clinical Targeting synovitis in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis (TaSER) and Clinical Tight Control Therapy (ARCTIC) trials’ results appear to contradict it, yet this does not necessarily mean ultrasound has no place in modern rheumatology. The possibility of detecting inflammation at a subclinical level carries a tremendous predictive value, enabling identification of patients likely to experience an exacerbation in the coming months. Therefore, US should be a part of the decision-making process regarding treatment modification or introduction of any additional interventions, such as glucocorticosteroid injections. The results of the most recent clinical trials do not negate the usefulness of US, but merely suggest that it ought to be used in moderation.
Assessment of a rotor blade extension retrofit as a supplement to the lifetime extension of wind turbines
Authors: Rosemeier Malo , Saathoff Matthias
Published: July 2020

Abstract. The potential lifetime of wind turbine components is usually not fully utilized as the site conditions are less severe than assumed in the turbine design.
Operators of wind farms can make use of the excess fatigue budget to increase the energy yield and thus decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCoE).
To achieve this, the lifetime of the turbine can be extended until the fatigue budget is exhausted.
Alternatively, a rotor blade extension (RBE) is an option to increase the energy yield of a wind turbine.
An RBE increases the blade length and thus the swept area and the energy yield.
An RBE also increases the loads on the turbine, however.
Higher fatigue loads in turn reduce the fatigue budget of a turbine.
This study investigates whether the use of an RBE is advantageous compared with a sole lifetime extension (LTE).
As the use case, a commercial 1.5 MW turbine located in northern Germany was investigated.
Aeroservoelastic multibody load simulations and simplified static load simulations were verified with each other.
These simulations revealed the loads to determine the fatigue budget of the turbine components.
Since the blade became the critical component when a certain RBE length was exceeded, the blade was subjected to a structural fatigue analysis.
The fatigue analysis focused on the trailing-edge bond line which became critical when lead–lag loads increased with blade length.
Finally, the energy production gains due to LTE and RBE were assessed.
For the use case turbine, this study revealed an LTE of 8.7 years after a design life of 20 years with an additional energy yield of 43.5 %.
Moreover, the extension of the 34 m blade with an RBE length of 0.8 m further increased the yield by 2.3 %.

Published: July 2020

There is a lack of basic information about the Caatinga gallery forests. The aim of the study was to obtain basic information of the Pajeú gallery forest (Pernambuco, Brazil) and offer different ways to restore and conserve it. A characterization of the conservation status and its seed bank was made. The characterization was done using a quality index (QBR index) and an evaluation of land use through satellite images. Research was then conducted on the native plants of the Caatinga riparian forests in order to test active restoration methods in the field. To do so, a multi-criterion analysis was constructed and included all tree and shrub species based on previous local researches and found in literature. After this analysis, some specieswere grown in a plant nursery to test their germination, survival and growth rates for different soils and irrigation frequencies. Finally, transplantation in the gallery forest was evaluated by observing survival and growth rates of different native species that were directly planted in the forest. Our results show that the global QBR was 43.73 and that 73% of lands had either an insufficient (64%) or bad (9%) quality. However, some areas maintained a high biodiversity. We observed 23,651 seed germinations from the seed bank,where most germinations (53%) came from preserved site. Soils collected during the dry season also offered more seedlings (60%) than their rainy season counterparts (40%). As for active restoration, it was observed that some plants are better suited for tree nurseries and transplantation such as Sapindus saponaria, Vitex gardneriana, Celtis iguanaea and that by selecting the correct plants and techniques, the ecosystem can be restored. There is still a long way to restore Pajeú’s gallery forest. But studies like this are essential to increase knowledge of the ecosystem. This study could serve as a reference to design anagement/restoration strategies, prioritize actions and develop public policies that ensure integrity and long-term conservationof the ecosystem and their functions.

Aims: As stroke is a complex medical condition involving physical, psychological and cognitive impairments, and also causes restrictions in daily activities and social participation, its rehabilitation is very important, but challenging. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of therapeutic dance programs on walking ability and balance in post-stroke patients, when combined with botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections and conventional rehabilitation program. Methods: A total of 51 post-stroke hemiplegic patients treated with BTX-A, who attended the conventional neurological rehabilitation program of the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic of Kocaeli University Medical School between November 2014 and December 2015, were included in this prospective, randomized, single center study. Patients were randomized as 1:1 into adapted tango classes (n = 27) and control group (n= 24). Clinical and functional outcomes were evaluated by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), BBS, and Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests. Results: Patients in the tango and control groups were well-matched in age, gender, and stroke side during randomization. There were statistically significant improvements in the tango group in MAS (p = 0.002), in TUG (p lessthan 0.001), and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (p lessthan 0.001) when compared with the control group, respectively (p lessthan 0.001, p=0.042, p lessthan 0.001). Balance improvement was more prominent in the tango group than in the control group (p= 0.003). Conclusion: Partner adapted tango dance therapy accompanying BTX-A injections may improve postural balance in ambulatory post-stroke patients, who are treated with the conventional rehabilitation program.
