Published: September 2020

During recent decades, alkali-free accelerators have appeared on the market as setting accelerator additives for shotcrete. In this work, copolymers poly(AANa-co-DMAA) with a variation of their charge densities (monomeric molar ratios) were synthesised by aqueous solution polymerisation and characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Then the copolymers were used to optimise the setting behaviour of cement paste in the presence of alkali-free accelerator. The setting times of cement pastes with a combination of alkali-free accelerators and copolymers were tested. Isothermal calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis and total organic carbon were also performed to obtain the comprehensive optimisation effects of poly(AANa-co-DMAA). The results clearly show that the capacity of the alkali-free accelerator for shortening the setting time of cement paste was enhanced significantly by introducing poly(AANa-co-DMAA). More AA units in the copolymers have better adsorption capacity, leading to a faster dissolution rate of tricalcium aluminate and the formation of massive ettringite crystals, thus finally the setting time of the cement paste with a combination of alkali-free accelerators and copolymers was shortened markedly compared with that containing alkali-free accelerators alone. The good synergy effect of the copolymers and alkali-free accelerator indicates great potential for practical applications.

Aims. Reelin mutations are responsible for a minority of families with autosomal dominant lateral temporal lobe epilepsy. Here, we report a novel nuclear family with distinct clinical and neuroradiological findings.

Methods. We studied the proband and her mother by means of EEG, video‐EEG, 3T MRI, FDG‐PET and genetic testing.

Results. Both patients had a focal drug‐resistant epilepsy with onset at the age of 16 and focal seizures with typical auditory features combined with fear, followed by loss of contact or evolving to bilateral tonic‐clonic seizures. The proband's ictal EEG showed clear left temporal seizure onset, and cerebral MRI revealed subtle left temporal changes (mild hypotrophy, slight blurring of the white and grey matter and hyperintensity) with corresponding left temporal mesial focal hypometabolism on FDG‐PET. Genetic testing identified a missense variant, c.6631C>T (p.Arg2211Cys), in reelin repeat #5 in both patients, which markedly affected the secretion of the protein.

Conclusion. The data from this family support previous findings indicating that reelin mutations are a cause of autosomal dominant lateral temporal lobe epilepsy which has a clinical spectrum that may also encompass drug‐resistant epilepsy associated with mild MRI temporal changes.

Published: September 2020

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy is a group of conditions characterized by the co‐occurrence of epilepsy and intellectual disability, in which there is additional developmental impairment independent of epileptic activity. Biallelic variants of SZT2, a known seizure threshold regulator gene, have been linked to a wide spectrum of clinical features, ranging from severe intellectual disability with refractory seizures to mild intellectual disability without seizures. Here, we describe a child with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy whose genetic testing led to the identification of novel biallelic variants of SZT2, a paternally inherited c.2798C>T, p.(Ser933Phe) variant and a maternally inherited c.4549C>T, p.(Arg1517Trp) variant. Our patient showed common clinical and radiographic features among patients with SZT2‐related encephalopathy. However, neonatal‐onset seizures and suppression‐burst EEG activity, not previously associated with SZT2‐related encephalopathy, were observed in this case. Although the seizures were controlled with carbamazepine, the developmental consequences remained profound, suggesting that the developmental impairments might be attributed to a direct effect of the SZT2 variants rather than the epileptic activity. We propose that SZT2 variants should be regarded among those that are believed to cause neonatal‐onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with a suppression‐burst pattern on EEG.

Interleukins (IL) are a type of cytokine first thought to be expressed by leukocytes alone but have later been found to be produced by many other body cells. They play essential roles in the activation and differentiation of immune cells, as well as proliferation, maturation, migration, and adhesion. They also have pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties. The primary function of interleukins is, therefore, to modulate growth, differentiation, and activation during inflammatory and immune responses. Interleukins consist of a large group of proteins that can elicit many reactions in cells and tissues by binding to high-affinity receptors in cell surfaces. [1] The immunoregulatory cytokine IL-41 (also known as meteorin-like protein) is expressed at high levels in the synovium of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).[2] Reference 1.

RESEARCH ON THE MINIMUM FLOW OF MOUNTAIN RIVERS: RETROSPECTIVE, OVERVIEW AND PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Pochaievets O.O.
Published: September 2020

Approaches to defining the concept of minimum runoff are considered in the article. An analytical review of previous studies of minimum runoff in the whole and mountainous terrain in particular was conducted. The experience of domestic and foreign authors on the choice of calculating characteristics of the minimum runoff is analyzed. Discrepancies in terminology were considered to describe the periods of minimum runoff and basic calculation values, both in domestic and foreign scientists. Considerable attention is also given to the genetic features of minimum runoff formation during the warm and cold seasons. For spatial estimation of the minimum runoff, maps of the minimum runoff modules, which were created at different stages of the study, were considered. The shortcomings of the previously created and currently operating maps of the spatial distribution of the minimum water runoff module are analyzed in detail. Previous and modern studies of the minimum runoff of plain and mountain rivers of the territory of Ukraine are considered separately. The study focuses on mountain rivers, in particular the Tisza basin. Given that the floodplain character of the rivers of the basin, this region has rarely received the attention of scientists engaged in minimal runoff studies, but in recent decades, given the climatic changes and the increase in the duration and intensity of droughts in general, different scientists and our studies have evaluated minimum drainage water of the Tisza River basins. The genetic homogeneity of the bounded periods was taken into account; considerable attention is paid to the use of modern methods of estimating the space-time dynamics of the minimum runoff, the creation of modern maps of the minimal runoff of different security.
Anthropology, Education, and Multicultural Absorption Migration from Ethiopia to Israel
Authors: Cohn Ravit Talmi
Published: September 2020

This paper presents a case study, which demonstrates the power of applied anthropology in combining theory with practice in the effort to change reality. Drawing on a multi-site ethnographic study conducted between the years 2005 and 2012, in each of the immigration journey’s stations—in Ethiopia (origin country) and Israel (destination country), this paper highlights the importance of applied anthropology insights in educational projects of immigration absorption. This paper is based on the transnational paradigm, presenting immigration as a complex process, which is created via an ongoing discourse between countries, cultures, and people. It points out the importance of the immigration journey, its length and complexity, as well as its implications on the absorption and assimilation process of immigrants in their destination country. Focusing on the education aspect of absorption, this paper argues that beyond inter-cultural differences, absorption processes must also acknowledge the significance of the movement and journey in a dynamic reality. This paper is concentrated on a specific educational project, demonstrating how anthropological perceptions like doubting the obvious, heterogeneity, critical thinking, and reflectivity can be used to change absorption policies. This paper shows how applied anthropology can translate immigration practices and insights into practical educational and absorption approaches.

Son zamanlarda küresel ve ulusal ölçekte hissedilen ihtiyaçlar ve zorunluluklar nedeniyle teknolojiye dayalı öğretim yaklaşımlarının kullanılmasına ilişkin beklentiler artmış; üniversiteler bu beklentileri karşılamak için farklı uygulama arayışı içine girmişlerdir. Ders Yakalama Sistemi (DYS) bu uygulamalardan birisidir ve amacı, öğretim elemanının, çevrimiçi olarak ya da ders kayıtlarında gerekli gördüğü değişiklikleri yaptıktan sonra dersini, öğrenci erişimine açarak öğrencinin kendi ihtiyacı doğrultusunda bilgiye ulaşmasını ve tekrar etmesini sağlamaktır. Bu çalışmada, bir yükseköğretim kurumundaki öğrencilerin DYS’yi kullanım amaçları, DYS’ye ilişkin yarar algıları ve DYS kullanımı ile ilgili algıladıkları kısıtlılıklara ilişkin görüşlerinin betimlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, öğrencilerin DYS sistemini işlevsel ve yararlı bulduklarını, en çok sınavdan önce konuları gözden geçirmek, derste kaçırdığı ya da derse gelemediği durumlarda öğrenme eksikliklerini kapatmak için kullandıklarını ancak sisteme ulaşımda yaşadıkları en önemli kısıtlılığın teknik aksaklıklar olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu çalışma, teknolojiye dayalı öğretim yaklaşımlarının daha fazla önem kazandığı ve kullanıldığı günümüzde söz konusu yaklaşımların pedagojik değerini ön plana çıkaran araştırmaların yürütülmesini önermektedir.
Canned Television Going Global

This special issue of VIEW focuses on the international circulation and distribution of ready-made content, in the form of scripted products. The following essays share an interest in considering the nuances in power dynamics (adaptation, localization, revision) that are bound to any transnational movements. They also address a fruitful variety of problems and points of view that signal the wider potential of this field of research: the transnational circulation of TV content and the currently used market strategies; common ground and cultural proximity in certain cultural groups and/or regions; the role of European countries and markets in the development of international distributed content, and their impact beyond the continent; the emerging role of OTT services in the internationalization of programming; the growing role played by curation and personalization in order to gain a competitive edge; the functions of “niche” content (such as arts programming) and or particular audience groups (such as the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies), and how these adapt to border-crossings; co-productions, but also co-distributions between different countries (such as China and the UK); processes of localizing and adapting foreign ready-made content, for example through dubbing, subtitling and voice overs; and the role of bottom-up circulation.
Comparison of automated method and photometric cyanmethemoglobin method for haemoglobin estimation
Authors: Kumar Jain Dileep
Published: September 2020

Haemoglobin is one of the commonest tests required in pathology labs. There are many methods of haemoglobin estimation. Common methods used are sahli’s acid hematin method, photometric cyanmethemoglobin method with hemoglobin estimation by colorimeter, automated method by cell counter.

To evaluate accuracy of hemoglobin estimation by manual photometric method versus automated method by hematology cell counters using the same sample at the same time.

Blood samples of 460 adult patients and 72 children (<15 Yrs), including outdoor and indoor, between May 2019 to Aug 2019, attending H.I.M.S.were collected in EDTA tubes. Samples were properly mixed on blood shaker. Hemoglobin estimation done by photometric cyanmethemoglobin method by AIMIL digital colorimeter and by Mindray (BC5150) automated cell counter.

Results by photometric method showed higher mean value compared to automated method by 2.52%. Commercial control results showed 2.2% coefficient of variation by Mindray cell counter and 2.9% by photometer

Both methods are accurate with 2.52% more mean value in photometric method. When Haemoglobin is the only test required, photometric method is cost effective and feasible. If sample size is large as in tertiary care hospitals and multiple parameters like complete blood count (CBC) are needed, automated method is time effective and feasible

Szlachetna amatorka. Akwaforty Anetki Tyszkiewiczówny z albumu Vues de Pologne
Authors: Mączyński Ryszard
Published: September 2020

Artykuł został poświęcony akwafortom zebranym w albumie Vues de Pologne, dedykowanym Annie (Anetce) Tyszkiewiczównie (1779-1867). Przez całe życie zajmowała się ona amatorsko twórczością artystyczną: rysowaniem, malowaniem, a przede wszystkim projektowaniem, co wycisnęło piętno na założeniach pałacowo-ogrodowych w: Wilanowie, Natolinie, Mokotowie, Jabłonnie i Zatorze. Album powstał jako rezultat – i pamiątka – pobytu w Wiedniu w 1795 r. oraz pobierania wtedy lekcji rysunku i akwaforty u francuskiego malarza Ignacego Duviviera (1758-1832), artysty przyjętego później na członka tamtejszej akademii. W podstawowej wersji zawiera – poza stroną tytułową – dziewięć widoków głównie z Warszawy i jej okolic. Tyszkiewiczówna była autorką wszystkich rysunkowych wzorów, jak też przeniesienia ich na płyty, z których powstały odbitki. W pracach tych wyraźnie przedkładała motywy pejzażowe nad wedutowe. Starała się oddawać nastrój chwili, poprzez żywą, energiczną kreskę oraz silne kontrasty walorowe. Komponowała widoki sentymentalne, subiektywne w sposobie ujęcia, bez dbałości o dokładność i realizm w odwzorowaniu rzeczywistości. Możliwe zresztą, że tę ostatnią cechę spotęgowało tworzenie wzorów z pamięci, w Wiedniu, w znacznym oddaleniu od wyobrażanych miejsc. Oceniając wartość artystyczną prac Tyszkiewiczówny – a pod względem techniki wykonania nie różnią się one wcale od dzieł nauczyciela – należy pamiętać, że są juweniliami, gdyż autorka miała zaledwie szesnaście lat. Sporządzone przez nią płyty zostały powtórnie wykorzystane na początku XIX wieku w celach komercyjnych: sześć spośród dziewięciu akwafort ozdobiło wydanie „Kalendarzyka Politycznego, Chronologicznego i Historycznego” na rok 1811, drukowanego nakładem Jana Ludwika Kocha. Na podstawie znacznej liczby odbitek – tych z 1795, jak też tych z 1811 r. – pozostających w kolekcjonerskim obiegu można wnosić o wyjątkowej jak na amatorkę popularności tej części jej dorobku. Ale po tym młodzieńczym doświadczeniu nigdy już później Anna z Tyszkiewiczów – primo voto Potocka, secundo voto Dunin-Wąsowiczowa – do techniki akwaforty nie powróciła.
Strategia państwowej autoprezentacji: sztuka ZSRS w Warsza­wie 1933 r.
Authors: Kossowska Irena
Published: September 2020

Artykuł zawiera analizę krytycznej recepcji wystawy sztuki sowieckiej, która została zorganizowana w warszawskim Instytucie Propagandy Sztuki w marcu 1933 r. Ekspozycja wpisywała się w nasilającą się w latach 30. tendencję do akcentowania specyfiki kulturowej poszczególnych państw narodowych poprzez odpowiednio sformatowane wystawy sztuki rodzimej, podróżujące po europejskich ośrodkach. Warszawski pokaz współczesnej sztuki Kraju Rad, przywieziony z odbywającego się w 1932 r. w Wenecji Biennale Internazionale d’Arte, można zarazem postrzegać jako próbę poprawy wzajemnych relacji między II Rzeczypospolitą a ZSRS w kontekście podpisanego 25 lipca 1932 r. paktu o nieagresji. Propozycja pokazania ekspozycji polskiej publiczności wyszła od Borysa Nikołajewa, reprezentującego Wszechzwiązkowe Stowarzyszenie Łączności Kulturalnej z Zagranicą, będące de facto instrumentem komunistycznej propagandy.

Warszawska wystawa cieszyła się olbrzymim zainteresowaniem publiczności. Spodziewano się sztuki rewolucyjnej, radykalnie awangardowej, sprzężonej ze społeczno-politycznym przewrotem bolszewickim. Tymczasem ujrzano sztukę proletariacką, opiewającą w realistycznej najczęściej konwencji wielkość zwycięskiego ustroju komunistycznego. Większość krytyków oceniła ekspozycję negatywnie, widząc w niej propagandowo sformatowaną wizytówkę Kraju Rad, a nie reprezentację sowieckiej sceny artystycznej. Dla recenzentów wspierających awangardę uderzające było zerwanie z pryncypiami rewolucyjnej estetyki. Dla komentatorów sympatyzujących z trendami nowego klasycyzmu, neorealizmu czy koloryzmu rażące było polityczne sprofilowanie tematyki prac. Konsensus osiągnięto natomiast odnośnie niskiego poziomu artystycznego prezentowanego materiału. Komentatorzy poszukiwali bowiem stylu rozumianego jako oryginalna jedność formalno-tematyczna wyrażająca istotę nowego ustroju ZSRS. Konkluzja Konrada Winklera brzmiąca: „Lenin sztuki sowieckiej jeszcze się nie narodził”, zaświadcza o tym, że takiego stylu nie odnaleźli.

Cztery żywioły w średniowiecznej ikonografii sądu ostatecznego? Propozycja nowej interpretacji ikonograficznej dekoracji mozaikowej ze ściany zachodniej bazyliki na Torcello – część i

Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie problematyki skupionej wokół niektórych elementów wczesnośredniowiecznej ikonografii czterech żywiołów stanowiących integralną część sceny Sądu Ostatecznego. Wybrany problem został pokazany na bazie przedstawienia ze ściany zachodniej Bazyliki Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny na wyspie Torcello (Włochy). Autorka stawia pytanie o możliwe występowanie i symboliczne znaczenie czterech żywiołów w wyżej wymienionej mozaice, porównując ją z innymi przedstawieniami Sądu Ostatecznego z tego samego i wcześniejszego okresu. Na podstawie przesłanek wynikających z gruntownej analizy ikonograficznej przedstawienia, dokonanej we wcześniejszych publikacjach oraz rozprawie doktorskiej, autorka proponuje nową hipotezę interpretacyjną zarysowaną przez obecność ikonografii czterech żywiołów jako symbolu pierwotnego aktu stworzenia w przedstawieniu Sądu Ostatecznego.
Análisis de las expresiones con verbos de movimiento en función de economía y redundancia léxicas: estudio contrastivo inglés-español

Analiza wyrażeń z czasownikami ruchu w kontekście ekonomii i redundancji leksykalnej: Studium kontrastywne angielsko-hiszpańskieGłównym tematem niniejszego artykułu jest zjawisko ekonomii i redundancji leksykalnej w wyrażeniach czasownikowych. W tym celu została przeprowadzona analiza kontrastywna przykładów diakrytycznych w dwóch wybranych językach: angielskim i hiszpańskim. Badanie oparte jest na manualnym korpusie równoległym, składającym się z przykładów zebranych w dwóch wersjach tego samego literackiego: A moveable feast / París era una fiesta Ernesta Hemingwaya. Zadaniem autorki było przede wszystkim porównanie danych liczbowych uzyskanych z korpusu z teoriami istniejącymi w tradycji typologicznej. Biorąc pod uwagę parametry definiujące zjawisko ekonomii, została ustalona jego skala, która bazuje na analizie wyrażeń zawierających czasowniki ruchu. Odniesienia te doprowadzają do ustalenia, który język z dwóch wymienionych wyżej jest bardziej ekonomiczny, a który bardziej redundantny na płaszczyźnie leksykalnej.

Análisis de las expresiones con verbos de movimiento en función de economía y redundancia léxicas: estudio contrastivo inglés-españolEl presente texto constituye un análisis contrastivo de economía y redundancia léxicas en las expresiones verbales. Para este objetivo se realiza un estudio bilateral de los ejemplos diacríticos en dos lenguas seleccionadas: inglés e español. El análisis se basa en un corpus paralelo, que consta de expresiones con verbos recogidos en dos versiones del mismo texto de literatura narrativa de Ernest Hemingway: A moveable feast y su traducción española: París era una fiesta. Nuestra tarea es de confrontar los datos numéricos obtenidos tras el censo con las teorías elaboradas por la tradición tipológica. Teniendo en consideración los parámetros definitorios del fenómeno de economía establecemos su índice numérico basado en el análisis empírico de las expresiones con una de las clases fundamentales de los verbos, los de movimiento. Estas referencias nos llevan a la conclusión de qué lengua de las dos citadas más arriba es realmente más económica y cuál es más redundante en el plano léxico.
„…Unscheinbarkeit und viel Erinnerung“: Gedächtnismedien in Bettina Spoerris Konzert für die Unerschrockenen (2013)

„…Niepozorność i wiele wspomnień”: Media pamięci w powieści Bettiny Spoerri Konzert für die Unerschrockenen (2013)W artykule ukazano proces rekonstrukcji historii rodzinnej w powieści Bettiny Spoerri Konzert für die Unerschrockenen [Koncert dla nieustraszonych], który uwidacznia się w strukturze narracyjnej poprzez zastosowanie różnych mediów pamięci. Centralne medium pamięci stanowi muzyka – dla narratorki to archiwum pamięci, zawarte m.in. w starych nagraniach, ale także we wspomnieniach koncertów i prywatnych występów Lei, głównej bohaterki powieści. Fotografie, obecne jako ekfrazy, stają się kolejnym istotnym medium pamięci, otwierającymi „okna czasu” (A. Overath). W artykule przywołane zostały w kontekście przemyśleń S. Sontag i R. Barthesa. Szeroko rozumiana sztuka (malarstwo M. Rothko, instalacje R. Horn, dramaty A. Czechowa) to kolejne medium pamięci, łącznik między teraźniejszością a przeszłością – światem, który już nie istnieje. Rekonstruowana historia jest częścią genealogii pisarki, należącej do trzeciego pokolenia post-Shoah.

„…Unscheinbarkeit und viel Erinnerung“: Gedächtnismedien in Bettina Spoerris Konzert für die Unerschrockenen (2013)In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird Bettina Spoerris Konzert für die Unerschrockenen im Kontext der im Roman rekonstruierten Familiengeschichte analysiert. In der narrativen Struktur des Romans werden Musik, Photographie, Literatur, Malerei und visuelle Kunst als Gedächtnismedien eingesetzt. Die Musik, die im Leben der Hauptfigur ‒ einer berühmten Cellistin ‒ zur absoluten Referenz wird, bildet das zentrale Erinnerungsarchiv im Roman. Dank der Strategie der ekphrastischen Beschreibungen alter Fotografien werden in der Geschichte etliche „Zeitfenster“ geöffnet (A. Overath). Im Text findet man auch die Spuren der Lektüre von R. Barthes‘ und S. Sontags Essays zur Fotografie. Als nächstes Gedächtnismedium gelten M. Rothkos Malerei, R. Horns Installationen und die Dramen A. Tschechows – sie werden zu einem wichtigen Bindeglied zwischen Gegenwart und Vergangenheit, zumal die rekonstruierte Geschichte ein Teil der Genealogie der Autorin ist, die der dritten Post-Shoah-Generation angehört.

W poszukiwaniu wspomnień: Koncepcje pamięci w Eine Art Liebe Kathariny HackerPowieść Kathariny Hacker Eine Art Liebe [Pewnego rodzaju miłość] jest analizowana w perspektywie postpamięci w ujęciu Marianne Hirsch. W interpretowanym utworze nie mamy wprawdzie do czynienia z tradycyjnymi stosunkami rodzinnymi, w których potomkowie muszą się uporać z traumami rodziców, lecz pewne techniki narracyjne odnoszą się do prób kolejnych pokoleń zmierzenia się z traumą Holocaustu. Główną bohaterką jest młoda Niemka, która w Izraelu poznaje Moshe Feina i próbuje spisać jego historię. Wsłuchując się w historię swojego żydowskiego przyjaciela, któremu udało się przeżyć Holocaust we francuskiej szkole z internatem, próbuje uwiarygodnić swoją narrację poprzez cytowanie zapisków Moshe Feina oraz opis jego pamiątek rodzinnych i fotografii.

Die Suche nach Erinnerungen: Gedächtniskonzepte in Eine Art Liebe von Katharina HackerDer Roman Katharina Hackers Eine Art Liebe wird vor dem Hintergrund der Postmemory von Marianne Hirsch analysiert. Im interpretierten Werk hat man zwar mit den traditionellen Familienverhältnissen, in denen die Nachkommen mit den Traumata der Eltern zurechtkommen müssen, nichts zu tun, aber manche narrativen Techniken beziehen sich auf die Versuche der kommenden Generationen, die Schrecken vom Holocaust neu beschreiben zu lassen. Die Protagonistin, eine junge Deutsche, lernt in Israel Moshe Fein kennen, und versucht seine Geschichte niederzuschreiben. Indem sie die Geschichte von dem Holocaust-Überlebenden rekonstruiert, beglaubigt sie ihre Narration durch Zitate von Moshe Fein und die Beschreibung seiner Erbstücke und Fotografien aus dem Familiennachlass.
Ethnography of communication: An analysis of Turkish education ministerâ€™s speechon innovations
Authors: Karanfil Ferhat
Published: September 2020

Ethnography of communication (EOC)is an approach to discourse research that investigates the sequential organisation of talk as a way of accessing participantsâ€™ understandings of and collaborative means of organising the forms of social interaction. The objective of the current research is to explore the speech of the education minister and how he uses his language indirectly talking on solid innovations. The sample online recordings of the education minister are transcribed in close detail to allow for a fine analysis of the design, exchange and coordination of actions within the delivery of new implementations. This article will introduce intellectual foundations of discourse analysis, outline its approach to data collection and transcription, illustrate its analytical procedures and discuss the application of EOC in the education ministerâ€™s speech while addressing the teachers. The results suggest that the use of indirectness and implicit speech-making strategies fosters the politeness act in public speech. We can conclude that the politicianâ€™s speech delivered to the public may be researched more and it might be a part of discourse competence for English language learners. The future direction of EOC may focus on a transnational context by comparing the different countries and education ministerâ€™s speech which may help English teachers to teach culture and spoken discourse better.

Hypoglycemia in High-Risk Infants Within the Immediate Postnatal Period
Authors: Chappe Maria Kristina
Published: September 2020

The incidence of hypoglycemia in the immediate postnatal period is rising because of the increasing rate of preterm births, maternal diabetes, and maternal obesity. Severe hypoglycemia has been considered a risk factor for neuronal cell death and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggests a goal of ≥45 mg/dL (≥2.5 mmol/L) for infants who are asymptomatic within the first 48 hours. The Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) suggests that infants who are unable to maintain their blood glucose >50 mg/dL (>2.77 mmol/L) within the first 48 hours or >60 mg/dL (>3.33 mmol/L) after the first 48 hours are at risk for persistent hypoglycemia. While there is disagreement for target glucose levels within the first 48 hours, both the AAP and the PES suggest further investigation for persistent hypoglycemia beyond 48–72 hours, which is beyond the scope of this article. However, in the immediate postnatal period, much can be gained with familiarization of the two guidelines, as well as current management techniques. This article presents current definitions and treatment modalities for management of hypoglycemia in infants considered at high risk in the immediate postnatal period.

Robotic or laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer - which is the best answer? a comprehensive review of non-oncological outcomes and learning curve
Authors: Kavalukas Sandra L. , Ghuman Amandeep , Sharp Stephen P. , Wexner Steven D.
Published: September 2020

Much effort has been spent evaluating the difference between robotic and laparoscopic surgery platforms for rectal cancer. There is a plethora of literature comparing outcomes for intraoperative events, postoperative complications, long term outcomes, cost, and learning curve. The data are conclusive regarding the higher cost of robotic surgery compared to laparoscopic surgery. This article is a comprehensive review of the available literature regarding intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. For practically all parameters evaluated, there are no significant differences between the two platforms. The ultimate decision on whether to perform robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery should be based on surgeon preference and familiarity with equipment, as well as local resources.

Machine learning (ML) is penetrating in all walks of life and is one of the major driving forces behind the fourth industrial revolution, typically known as Industry 4.0. The purpose of the present study is to review the state-of-the-art ML applications in the biofuels' life cycle stages, i.e., soil, feedstock, production, consumption, and emissions. A keyword search is performed to retrieve relevant articles from the databases of the Web of Science and Google Scholar. ML applications in the soil stage were mostly based on the use of satellite images of land for estimation of biofuels yield or suitability analysis of agricultural land. In the second stage of the life cycle, assessment of rheological properties of the feedstocks and their effect on the quality of biofuels were dominant studies reported in the literature. The production stage included estimation and optimization of quality, quantity, and process conditions. The fuel consumption and emissions stage included analysis of engine performance and estimation of emissions temperature and composition, such as NOx CO, and CO2. This study identified the following trends: dominant ML method, the stage of life cycle getting more usage of ML, the type of data used for the development of the ML-based models, and the stage-wise frequently used input and output variables. The findings of this article are beneficial for academia and industry-related people involved in model development in different stages of biofuel’s life cycle.
Addressing the Social Aspects of Circular Economy: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Padilla-Rivera Alejandro , Russo-Garrido Sara , Merveille Nicolas
Published: September 2020

Circular Economy (CE) is a growing topic among scholars, industry and government aiming at decoupling economic growth and development from the consumption of finite resources. CE incorporates different meanings, from reduce, reuse and recycle activities to environmental degradation or resource scarcity, and supported by specific indicators to attain sustainable development. However, so far, there has been no agreement to measure how effective an industry/product is in making the transition from linear to circular approaches, particularly those affected the society. This research work aims to perform a systematic literature review (n=60) to analyze and discuss how social aspects have been considered and integrated in the CE research so far. Moreover, this review provides and overview of the literature on social impact within CE, that resulted in three main outputs: a knowledge map of the CE, an analysis of social aspects within CE, and the theories/frameworks used to evaluate social impact of CE. Finally, this study brings to light how CE implementation can affect society and highlights the importance of social dimension in the domains of CE and policy-making community, which could help moving CE towards a sustainable development.
Direct Quantification by Infrared Spectroscopy of Drug Loading Content in Polymeric Nanoparticles

Published: September 2020

Nanotechnology has enabled the development of novel therapeutic strategies such as targeted nanodrug delivery systems, control and stimulus-responsive release mechanisms, and the production of theranostic agents. As a prerequisite for the use of nanoparticles as drug delivery systems, the amount of loaded drug must be precisely quantified, a task for which two approaches are currently used. However, both approaches suffer from the inefficiencies of drug extraction and of the solid-liquid separation process, as well as from dilution errors. This work describes a new, reliable, and simple method for direct drug quantification in polymeric nanoparticles using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which can be adapted for a wide variety of drug delivery systems. Silk fibroin nanoparticles and naringenin were used as model polymeric nanoparticle carrier and drug, respectively. The specificity, linearity, detection limit, precision and accuracy of the spectroscopic approach were determined in order to validate the method. A good linear relation was observed within 0.00 to 7.89 % of naringenin relative mass with an R2 of 0.973. The accuracy was determined by the spike and recovery method. Results showed an average 104% recovery. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of the drug loading content were determined to be 0.3 and 1.0 %, respectively. The method's robustness is demonstrated by the notable similarities between the calibrations carried out in two different equipment and institutions.

In Kenya, millions of children have limited access to nurturing care. With the COVID-19 pandemic, it is anticipated that vulnerable children will bear the biggest brunt of the direct and indirect impacts of the pandemic. This review aimed to deepen understanding of the effects of COVID-19 on nurturing care from conception to four years of age, a period where the care of children is often delivered through caregivers or other informal platforms. The review has drawn upon the empirical evidence from previous pandemics and epidemics, and anecdotal and emerging evidence from the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Multifactorial impacts fall into five key domains: direct health; health and nutrition systems, economic, social and child protection, and child development and early learning. The review proposes program and policy strategies to guide the re-orientation of nurturing care, prevent the detrimental effects associated with deteriorating nurturing care environments, and support the optimal development of the youngest and most vulnerable children. These include the provision of cash transfers and essential supplies for vulnerable households, and strengthening of community-based platforms for nurturing care. Further research on COVID-19 and the ability of children’s ecology to provide nurturing care is needed, as is further testing of new ideas.

Published: September 2020

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of inherited retinal disorders (IRD) that result in retinal degeneration. This study aimed to identify the genetic findings of patients with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP). Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed in two unrelated Pakistani families underlying arRP. Data analysis and mutation screening was performed for all the known RP genes following bi-directional Sanger sequencing to determine whether any of the candidate variants co-segregated with the disease phenotype in the families. WES data analysis revealed a novel homozygous missense variant (c.1274T>C) in the in Tubby like Protein 1 (TULP1 NM_003322.6) gene in family 1 and a novel homozygous frameshift variant (c.351delC) in the retinoid isomerohydrolase 65 (RPE65 NM_000329.3) gene in family 2. The identified variants perfectly co-segregated with the disease phenotype within the families. Our results strongly suggest that mutations in TULP1 and RPE65 are responsible for the retinal phenotype in the affected individuals. These mutations will increase the mutation spectrum of these genes; furthermore, it will enhance our knowledge and understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of retinitis pigmentosa.

The Korean Society of Laryngology, Phoniatrics and Logopedics appointed a task force to establish clinical practice guidelines for the management of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP). These guidelines cover a comprehensive range of management-related factors, including the diagnosis and treatment of UVFP, and provide in-depth information based on current, up-to-date knowledge. Detailed evidence profiles are provided for each recommendation. The CORE databases, including OVID Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed, were searched to identify all relevant papers, using a predefined search strategy. When insufficient evidence existed, expert opinions and Delphi questionnaires were used to fill the evidence gap. The committee developed 16 evidence-based recommendations in six categories: initial evaluation (R1–4), spontaneous recovery (R5), medical treatment (R6), surgical treatment (R7–14), voice therapy (R15), and aspiration prevention (R16). The goal of these guidelines is to assist general otolaryngologists and speech-language pathologists who are primarily responsible for treating patients with UVFP. These guidelines are also intended to facilitate understanding of the condition among other health-care providers, including primary care physicians, nurses, and policy-makers.
