Immunogenicity and protective efficacy of prime-boost immunization in mice vaccinated with live and inactivated influenza A (H5N1) vaccines
Authors: Losev I. , Petukhova G. , Isakova-Sivak I. , Rudenko L.
Published: May 2019

Avian influenza A (H1N1) in humans is characterized by severe clinical manifestation and high mortality. The main drawback of current human H5N1 vaccines is related to low immunogenicity. Prime-boost vaccination is considered as an effective approach to enhance vaccine immunogenicity. The aim of this study was to compare immune response and protective efficacy of diverse prime-boost immunization protocols: 1) prime and boost with live influenza vaccine (LAIV) А/17/Turkey/Turkey/05/133 (H5N2); 2) prime with LAIV А/17/Turkey/Turkey/05/133 (H5N2) followed by boost with inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) Orniflu (H5N1). Both vaccination protocols were found to increase serum antibody level against homologous and heterologous influenza A virus strains. In particular, serum HAI antibodies were significantly elevated solely after LAIV/LAIV vaccination. A more sensitive sandwich ELISA assay revealed that serum virus-specific IgG antibody levels were significantly increased after both vaccination protocols as well as after a single LAIV or IIV vaccination. Both LAIV and IIV boost increased titers of serum IgG specific against unrelated influenza A (H5N1) strains: homologous A/NIBRG-23 (clade 2.2), A/Indonesia (clade 2.1) and, to a lesser extent, against clade 1 virus A/ Vietnam and even against heterologous А/New York (H1N1). Single LAIV vaccination was also able to induce antibody responses against all strains examined, though to a lesser degree as compared with either prime-boost protocols. However, amount of splenic CD8+ Тcells specific to homologous influenza A virus strain was solely observed after LAIV/IIV vaccination. Moreover, both LAIV and IIV boosting effect demonstrated high protection level against lethal challenge with А (H1N1) WT virus and significantly decreased lung viral titer compared to control group. Furthermore, both regimens resulted in lung virus clearance after non-lethal challenge with clade 1, 2.1 or 2.2 influenza А (H5N1). In conclusion, we demonstrated that both LAIV/LAIV and LAIV/IIV regimens were able to induce cross-clade A (H5N1) response and that prime-boost immunization was a promising approach to improve immunogenicity of influenza A (H5N1) virus vaccine.

Authors: Gomes Marcela Símaro , Chirelli Mara Quaglio , Takeda Elisabete
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT As part of the integrated curriculum, the Elective Educational Unity (EEU) is a tool to support knowledge construction and student autonomy during undergraduate training. The international exchange for undergraduates therefore aims to explore potentialities and challenges within a pedagogical perspective through the experience and understanding ofdiverse educational institutions and health services, through prolonged contact with other professionals and students. One constructive strategy of an elective internship is in conjunction with student associations. This report intends to contribute to medical education by reflecting on how the international elective internship impacts on medical training, analysing its potentialities and challenges. The reportaddresses the steps in accomplishing the exchange, presenting the activities developed in the experience, highlightingthe observed objectives and results, along with reflections on the experience. It is ascertained that the international exchange stimulates the experience, recognition and understanding of other cultures; it helps students build autonomy and stimulates a critical reflexive view which promotes knowledge construction, raising the student’s awareness of his own social responsibility as a health professional. Therefore, the Elective Educational Unit encourages the student to elect the exchange as a curricular activity, it supports him on choosing a study area and international or national institution of interest, with the option to liaise with other organizations, for example the student organization. Unquestionably, personal growth is one of the consequences through learning about diversecultures and making new friendships and partnerships between different countries. However, there are challenges, such as adaptation to another cultural context, affective detachment and the understanding that different places have distinct historical, social, economic contexts from one another. Thus, advances and changes are proposed to improve the Elective Educational Unit, stimulating greater student participation in international experiences during undergraduate training, as well as underlining the importance of the supervisor’s role in the elective planning process.
Research on axial behaviour of concrete columns retrofitted with pre-stressed steel strips
Authors: Yang Yong , Xue Yicong , Yu Yunlong , Li Yaqi
Published: May 2019

In many cases today, concrete columns do not meet the requirements of current design codes due to a number of deficiencies, including low concrete strength, inadequate transverse rebar and low construction quality. This paper presents the results from an experimental study of a strapping method for retrofitting the axial performance of concrete columns. In the method explored herein, the high-strength steel strips surrounding the concrete columns are pre-stressed using an air pump to provide additional transverse confinement. To analyse the axial performance of cylindrical plain concrete columns retrofitted with pre-stressed steel strips, a static loading experiment was performed on 18 large-scale specimens. Failure mode, strain development and ultimate bearing capacity were thoroughly examined, and the effects of volumetric ratio, number of layers and spacing of steel strips were also considered. Test results show that the use of pre-stressed steel strips provides significant improvement in strength and deformability, and that the number of layers and spacing of the steel strips both play important roles in this regard. Finally, the calculations, which are based on the Newman model and regression analysis for predicting the retrofitted columns’ axial compressive strengths, are presented.

The article deals with the concept of commercial sexual exploitation of children. The forms of commercial sexual exploitation of children, among that there is child's prostitution, child's pornography, trading in children, child's sex-tourism, early marriage, are described. International documents, that regulate a legislation in relation to crimes, children related to commercial sexual exploitation, are considered. Work of ungovernmental organizations, that conduct active activity in relation to defence and help to the children that suffered from sexual violence, is described. It is noted that the fight against commercial sexual exploitation of children with sexual violence against children should be conducted, in addition to international, national and local levels. The principles of the legal principles and standards that should guide children's strategies and practices, including advocacy for the prevention of violence and measures to protect all children from all forms of violence are described. The economic, social and cultural rights that contain the provision according to which children should be protected from economic and social exploitation are indicated. It has been determined that commercial sexual exploitation of children is a violation of the rights of the child, which is considered as a subject of sex and the subject of trade; and includes sexual abuse of the child or exploitation of the child by an adult, as well as payment in cash or in kind. It has been established that the development of legislation and recognition of the problem of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse of children at the national and international levels will be an impetus in combating the commercial sexual exploitation of children. It has been stressed that commercial sexual exploitation of children in many countries is particularly dangerous criminal activity, violating the rights of the child.

Published: May 2019

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common disease across the world as well as in Iran. Individuals with MS usually experience occupational performance problems that result in limitations in their daily life. This study aimed to determine the occupational performance of individuals with MS based on the disability level in Iran.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 50 individuals with MS (20 to 50 years old) were recruited through a convenience sampling strategy from different clinics in Arak City, Iran, during 2016-2017. The Persian versions of Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) were used to assess the status of occupational performance and level of disability. The data were analyzed using chi-square, Spearman's rank correlation, and Mann-Whitney U tests.
Results: The total number of 248 occupations were identified as difficult to perform in the following areas: 125 (50.40%) in self-care, 58 (23.38%) in productivity, and 65 (26.20%) in leisure. In addition, the prioritized occupations (n = 149, median: 3, range: 1-4) had significant difference in the distribution of occupations compared with the non-prioritized occupations (P < 0.0001) and the ratings for performances and satisfactions were generally low. There were significant differences between the occupational
performance and level of EDSS.
Conclusion: The findings of current study suggest that individuals with MS suffer from widespread problems in the areas of occupational performance, particularly in self-care. The findings emphasize the need for identifying the problems of daily occupations in individuals with MS.

Authors: Aajami Zahra , Kebriaeezadeh Abbas , Nikfar Shekoufeh
Published: May 2019

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects a large number of adults annually all around the world. The monetary cost of this disorder is huge. This study aims to estimate the cost of AD in Iran by considering stages of disease. Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed from July to December 2017 on 300 AD cases who referred to the Iran Alzheimer’s Association, Tehran, Iran. To calculate costs at different stages of disease, patients were assigned into three groups, based on the MiniMental State Exam (MMSE) score. A list of medicines’ prices and health care service costs were prepared. Health care services’ cost was acquired from the book of “Relative value units of health care services in Iran” and the price of medicines was extracted from "Iran’s medicine triple prices list". Patients’ medical records and face to face interview with their caregivers were used for data collection. The perspective of present research was societal. Results: Annually, per person cost of AD in mild, moderate, and severe stages of disease were 434 United States dollars (USD), 1313 USD, and 2480 USD, respectively. Direct non-medical costs (DNMC) had the greatest share of total costs (near half of the whole costs) including 263 USD, 641 USD, and 1257 USD for mild, moderate, and severe stages, respectively. Conclusion: The cost of AD in Iran is lower than the average cost of dementia in upper middle-income countries. In all stages, the biggest part of the cost is associated with patient care and nursing services because patients suffering from AD usually require specialized cares.

Published: May 2019

The paper presents the results of the calculation of the main parameters of electrochemical deposition of microsphere films from a colloidal solution. Within the research, we determined the factors affecting the rate of their growth. The study shows the results of mathematical simulation of the process, characterizing the change in the potential in the interelectrode space, as well as the results of experimental studies of the formation of microsphere structures. Findings of the research were used to estimate the uniformity of the formed structures according to the reflection coefficient. For this purpose we applied the method of full factorial experiment. The study shows that the uniformity of the structures deteriorates with increasing potential difference and pH of the solution. It was also found that with an increase in the process time, the thickness of the structure increases, while the uniformity and ordering decrease. Findings of the research can be used in the further formation of 3D nanocomposites for various applications, for example, to increase the magnetic recording density

Published: May 2019

En el sector civil de la construcción, el concreto y el refuerzo metálico representan aun los materiales de mayor importancia, aunque sean muy vulnerables por los agentes atmosféricos, como en el caso de su degradación por corrosión. En Costa Rica, debido a la falta de métodos de monitoreo de las estructuras existentes y a una deficiente política preventiva en términos de mantenimiento, se hace urgente el desarrollo de modelos predictivos que permitan intervenir a tiempo las estructuras antes de que se comprometa de alguna forma la integridad de los usuarios. En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación sobre la carbonatación por causa del gas CO2, considerando el estudio experimental de la carbonatación del concreto sin la presencia del refuerzo metálico. Se usan métodos de carbonatación en cámara acelerada bajo condiciones muy controladas, ensayos de difracción de rayos X y químicos con el propósito de verificar el avance de la profundidad de carbonatación en el tiempo. Los resultados experimentales demuestran la efectividad del proceso en la cámara de carbonatación acelerada y brindan la variación de la resistencia a compresión de los especímenes de concreto, con el avance del frente de carbonatación en el tiempo.

Stroke is an acute nerve function disorder which caused by the dysfunctional blood flow to the brain, the symptoms depend on the brain focal area that has dysfunctions. Stroke has become the fifth of the cause of death in the United States, kills nearly 130,000 people each year, 1 of 20 deaths is caused by stroke. In every 40 seconds in the United States, a person is afflicted by stroke. In every 4 minutes, two people died of stroke. Every year approximately 795,000 people in the United States have stroke. Among its 610,000 had stroke for the first time while the rest 185,000 people had their series of occurrence.Research design used in this research is cross sectional method that stresses on certain time data measurement. This research’s subject is patients of Health Clinic Center throughout Bima who participate in POLANIS program. The sampling method of this research is consecutive sampling, so the sampling choices are all individuals which comply to the sample criteria, until the designated sample number is reached. Framingham Score Sheet is used by the writer as the research instrument.The correlation test resulted in p value > 0.05 so it can be concluded there is no relationship between obesity by framingham score to incidents of stroke and also the correlation test resulted in p value > 0.05 and it can be concluded that there is no relationship between obesity by framingham score with the risk of stroke.There is no relevance between obesity and cholesterol by framingham score with the incidents of stroke and the risk of stroke for responders in Health Clinic Center throughout Bima.

ResumenEl presente estudio analiza, desde la perspectiva de la gobernanza, el diseño institucional de la Autoridad de Transporte Urbano para Lima y Callao (ATU) creada en 2018, a fin de determinar en qué medida lasactuaciones de dicha entidad propiciarán el establecimiento de un modelo de movilidad urbana sostenible en la capital peruana. Se analiza un conjunto de aspectos del diseño institucional de la ATU y se plantea un estudio comparativo de dichas variables con respecto al Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid (CRTM) y el Directorio de Transporte Público Metropolitano (DTPM) de Santiago de Chile. El estudio concluye que, si bien la creación de la ATU contribuirá a reducir la fragmentación existente en la gobernanza de la movilidad urbana del área metropolitana de Lima y Callao, el diseño institucional de la entidad presenta limitaciones que pueden dificultar que la actuación de la misma resulte eficaz en cuanto a contribuir a la implantación de un modelo de movilidad urbana sostenible. Se destaca, entre los ajustes necesarios al modelo institucional de la ATU, la necesidad de articular las actuaciones de dicha entidad con la regulación de los usos del suelo.AbstractThis study analyses, from the perspective of governance, the institutional design of the Urban Transport Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU by its acronym in Spanish), established in 2018, in order to determine to what extent the performance of this agency may favour the establishment of a model of sustainable urban mobility in the Peruvian capital. A set of aspects of the institutional design of the ATU is analysed and a comparative study of those variables is proposed with regard to the Regional Consortium of Transport of Madrid (CRTM by its acronym in Spanish) and the Directory of Metropolitan Public Transport (DTPM by its acronym in Spanish) of Santiago de Chile. The study concludes that, although the creation of the ATU will contribute to reduce the existing fragmentation in the governance of urban mobility in the metropolitan area of Lima and Callao, the institutional design of the entity presents limitations that may hinder the effectiveness of its intervention with regard to implementing a sustainable urban mobility model. The paper stresses out, among the needed adjustments to the institutional model of the ATU, the need to articulate the actions of this entity with land use regulation.
Sustainable Assets and Strategies for Affecting the Income of Forestry Household: Empirical Evidence from South Korea
Authors: Jo Jang-Hwan , Roh Taewoo , Shin Seunguk
Published: May 2019

This study aims to identify the factors determining the income of forestry household in South Korea. We examine an empirical analysis using 3-year panel data conducted by the Korea Forest Service charged with maintaining South Korea's forest lands. The hypothesized factors determining the income of forestry household are classified into four types of assets and three types of livelihood strategies. We divided the income of forestry household (IFH) into three elements: forestry income (FI), non-forestry income (NFI), and transfer income (TI). We assessed the influences of household assets and livelihood strategies on each income. A random effect model was used as a statistical analysis with valid 979 of forestry household for three years. We found that household head's age, labor hours, savings, business category, cultivated land size, and region are significantly associated with IFH. Also, FI is influenced by labor capacity, cultivated size, business category, forestry business portfolio, and region while NFI is determined by household head's age, household head's gender, forestry business portfolio, and savings. TI is affected by household head's age, household head's education level, forestry business portfolios, savings, and region. The effect sizes and directions vary across different types of income (IFH, FI, NFI, and TI). The findings show that forestry in South Korea is highly dependent on sustainable assets and strategies. It is therefore expected that the effectiveness of forest policies to increase the income of forestry household would be differed by the source of each income. The results of this study draw attention to the need for an income support policy that should consider the characteristics of household assets and livelihood strategies in order to enhance IFH in South Korea.

Published: May 2019

Poor performance in Kenya Certificate of Primary Education Examinations has often been attributed to a lack of parental participation in children’s academics. The claim that parents are not supportive of their children, especially at home, therefore holds water as researchers have established that parent involvement with their children's homework could have an influence on their academic performance. This paper draws our attention to a study conducted to investigate the influence of parental involvement in school work on pupils’ academic performance in public primary schools in Ainabkoi Sub County, Kenya. Joyce Epstein’s framework of six types of parent involvement guided the study adopting the ex-post facto research design. Targeting 2404 Class 8 pupils and 61 class teachers in Ainabkoi Sub County, the authors drew a sample of 331 class eight pupils through stratified simple random sampling while census approach was employed to involve all the class teachers in the selected schools. The modes of data collection used were questionnaire and interview schedule whose validity was ensured through pilot study and reliability by test-retest technique. Quantitative data was then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in the form of percentages, means and chi-square, to test the study hypothesis. It was found out that parental participation in educational activities at home (X2=8.196; p=0.017) had a positive and significant influence on academic performance in public primary schools. Qualitative data was presented thematically. The study recommends that parents should provide their children with the required learning materials, such as supplementary reading complements to improve their academic performance.

Authors: Wang Hui , Tao Yong
Published: May 2019

Background This study aims to investigate the choroidal thickness and choroidal vascular density parameters and their correlation with severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. Methods An observational cross-sectional study was conducted of 104 eyes, which were divided into 4 groups: Healthy controls (n = 38), DM with no DR eyes (n = 22), non-proliferative DR (NPDR) eyes (n = 24), proliferative DR (PDR) eyes (n = 20). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed. The total choroidal area (TCA), stromal area (SA), the luminal areas (LA) and the ratio of the luminal to choroidal area were compared. Results The ratio of the luminal to choroidal area values was 67.53 ± 6.20 in controls and 63.43 ± 4.47 in DM eyes (P < 0.001). But there were no statistically significant differences in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), retinal thickness and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) measurements between the two groups (P = 0.407, P = 0.654 and P = 0.849; respectively). The vessel density values were significantly different in DM with no DR eyes, NPDR eyes and PDR eyes. (P < 0.001 for SCT, TCA and SA). The ratio of the luminal to choroidal area in the three groups were significant different(P = 0.019). Conclusion Eyes of patients with DM showed decreased ratio of the luminal to choroidal area compared with normal controls. Choroidal thickness and the ratio of the luminal to choroidal area significantly increased with severity of DR eyes compared with DM eyes and normal. Changes in the ratio of the luminal to choroidal area may predict DR development or recurrence before they are otherwise evident clinically. Choroidal blood flow deficit can be an early pathologic change in DR.
Aportes de la ontología relacional para una apropiación creyente de la encíclica laudato si’

Published: May 2019

El Papa Francisco es el primer pontífice en dedicar una encíclica al cuidado de la casa común, entendida con San Francisco de Asís, como la hermana, nuestra Madre Tierra. Las preocupaciones expresadas en Laudato si’, invitan a desarrollar un seguimiento de Cristo en la relación de la persona con la naturaleza, la cual no ha sido parte de las grandes preocupaciones de los creyentes. En el presente artículo se buscan apropiar las preocupaciones ecológicas del Papa y responder a ellas desde la ontología relacional que surge del misterio trinitario, desde el cual se entiende toda la vida del creyente como un conjunto de relaciones en las que la persona está inmersa en un diálogo con toda la realidad que la rodea.

Published: May 2019

Os ambientes informatizados oportunizam novas formas de interação nos contextos educacionais. Em se tratando de pessoas portadoras de necessidades educativas especiais, as tecnologias digitais podem potencializar a capacidade de comunicação e aprendizado. Este artigo apresenta o software de autoria Junctus, desenvolvido com o objetivo de favorecer a ligação entre língua de sinais e língua escrita, permitindo que duas formas distintas de representação, vídeo e texto, possam ser utilizadas simultaneamente por usuários surdos. O Junctus foi desenvolvido utilizando-se a plataforma orientada a objeto Java, que possui a biblioteca Java Media Framework (JMF) disponível para tratamento de vídeos digitais. Dois ambientes, Link-it e Transana, foram estudados para o desenvolvimento desse software. Apresentamos as funcionalidades do ambiente e um cenário de interação no qual um usuário surdo produz uma narrativa em língua de sinais, cria um texto escrito desta mesma narrativa e utiliza o software para fazer a ligação entre texto e imagem, aprimorando sua habilidade, para a escrita. Ao integrar estes dois códigos lingüísticos através do software, o usuário pode estabelecer novas relações, compreender as diferenças e criar estratégias próprias de uso dessas duas línguas. Discute-se ainda aplicações possíveis do software emprojetos de pesquisa e em contextos educativos.

Authors: Silva Michele dos Santos da , Vicari Rosa Maria
Published: May 2019

Este trabalho descreve o projeto de um estudante simulado para atuação em ambientes multiagente de aprendizagem. Nesses ambientes, estudantes humanos e simulados trabalham cooperativamente, através da formação de grupos de trabalho. Por meio de um editor colaborativo, os estudantes constroem uma rede bayesiana que modela um caso de estudo. O estudante simulado auxilia o grupo a sair de um estado de estagnação na construção da rede ou faz com que o grupo reflita sobre uma determinada variável ou relação. Ele propõe questões, insere e remove arcos e nodos da rede em construção. Desse modo, utiliza uma forma de comunicação adequada ao domínio e à interação com estudantes reais, sendo visto como um companheiro e não como umassistente.
