Published: July 2021

Background

This study aims to understand the key factors influencing guardians’ decisions when purchasing spectacles for their children in semi-urban and urban areas of Cross River State, Nigeria, where a spectacle cross-subsidisation scheme will be implemented.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted among all consecutive guardians visiting the Calabar (urban), Ugep, Ikom and Ogoja (semi-urban) public eye clinics in Cross River State, southern Nigeria, from August 1 to October 31 2019, and whose children had significant refractive errors (myopia ≤-0.50D, hyperopia ≥1.50D, astigmatism >0.75D) and received spectacles. Guardians were interviewed using a questionnaire which included i) close-ended questions on reasons guardians choose to purchase spectacles for their children in eye clinics, ii) guardians’ perceptions of the quality and design of children’s current spectacle, iii) factors most heavily influencing their choice of spectacles for children, and iv) open-ended questions to seek guardians’ suggestions on how to improve the current spectacle range.

Results

All 137 eligible guardians (67.2% women [n = 92]) who visited the selected eye clinics participated in the study (response rate = 100%), with 109 (79.6%) from semi-urban and 28 (20.4%) attending urban clinics. Guardians from both urban and semi-urban clinics prioritised frame design, quality, and material as the main factors affecting their decision when purchasing spectacles for their children. Female guardians and those with higher incomes were both 1.5 times more likely to emphasise frame quality when describing selection criteria for purchasing spectacles for their children than male guardians (p = 0.01) or guardians earning less (p = 0.03).

Conclusion

Design, material, and frame quality are key factors influencing guardians when purchasing spectacles for their children in these setting and female guardians or those with higher income prioritise frame quality. This study could guide the planning and implementation of a novel cross-subsidisation scheme in Cross River State.
A partial oviraptorosaur skeleton suggests low caenagnathid diversity in the Late Cretaceous Nemegt Formation of Mongolia
Authors: Funston Gregory F. , Currie Philip J. , Tsogtbaatar Chinzorig , Khishigjav Tsogtbaatar
Published: July 2021

The Nemegt Formation of the Gobi Desert of Mongolia has produced one of the most abundant and diverse oviraptorosaur records globally. However, the caenagnathid component of this fauna remains poorly known. Two caenagnathid taxa are currently recognized from the Nemegt Formation: Elmisaurus rarus and Nomingia gobiensis. Because these taxa are known from mostly non-overlapping material, there are concerns that they could represent the same animal. A partial, weathered caenagnathid skeleton discovered adjacent to the holotype quarry of Nomingia gobiensis is referable to Elmisaurus rarus, revealing more of the morphology of the cranium, mandible, pectoral girdle, and pubis. Despite metatarsals clearly exhibiting autapomorphies of Elmisaurus rarus, overlapping elements are identical to those of Nomingia gobiensis, and add to a growing body of evidence that these taxa represent a single morphotype. In the absence of any positive evidence for two caenagnathid taxa in the Nemegt Formation, Nomingia gobiensis is best regarded as a junior synonym of Elmisaurus rarus. Low caenagnathid diversity in the Nemegt Formation may reflect broader coexistence patterns with other oviraptorosaur families, particularly oviraptorids. In contrast to North America, competition with the exceptionally diverse oviraptorids may have restricted caenagnathids to marginal roles in Late Cretaceous Asian ecosystems.

Published: July 2021

Objective

While prior research shows that mental illness is associated with lower utilization of screening imaging, little is known about how mental illness impacts use of diagnostic imaging, other than for screening. This study explores the association between a history of anxiety or depression in the prior year and utilization of diagnostic imaging.

Methods

Commercial and Medicare Advantage health plan claims from 2017 and 2018 from patients with plans from one national organization were extracted. Exclusions were made for patients without continuous plan enrollment. History of anxiety or depression was determined using 2017 claims, and downstream diagnostic imaging was determined using 2018 claims. Univariate associations were assessed with Chi-square tests. A matched sample was created using Coarsened Exact Matching, with history of mental illness serving as the treatment variable. Logistic regressions were used to calculate adjusted odds ratios, before and after matching, controlling for age, sex, urbanicity, local income, comorbidities, claims history, region, and health plan characteristics. Associations between mental illness and chest imaging, neuroimaging, and emergency department imaging were also evaluated.

Results

The sample included 2,381,851 patients before matching. Imaging was significantly more likely for patients with a history of anxiety (71.1% vs. 55.7%, P < .001) and depression (73.2% vs. 55.3%, P < .001). The adjusted odds of any imaging were 1.24 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.22–1.26) for patients with a history of anxiety, and 1.43 (CI: 1.41–1.45) for patients with a history of depression before matching, and 1.18 (CI: 1.16–1.20) for a history of anxiety and 1.33 (CI: 1.32–1.35) for a history of depression after matching. Adjusted analyses found significant, positive associations between mental illness and chest imaging, neuroimaging, and emergency department imaging both before and after matching.

Discussion

In contrast to prior findings on screening, anxiety and depression were associated with greater likelihood of diagnostic imaging within the population studied.

Published: July 2021

DS (David’s site) is one of the new archaeological sites documented in the same paleolandscape in which FLK 22 was deposited at about 1.85 Ma in Olduvai Gorge. Fieldwork in DS has unearthed the largest vertically-discrete archaeological horizon in the African Pleistocene, where a multi-cluster anthropogenic accumulation of fossil bones and stone tools has been identified. In this work we present the results of the techno-economic study of the lithic assemblage recovered from DS. We also explore the spatial magnitude of the technological behaviors documented at this spot using powerful spatial statistical tools to unravel correlations between the spatial distributional patterns of lithic categories. At DS, lavas and quartzite were involved in different technological processes. Volcanic materials, probably transported to this spot from a close source, were introduced in large numbers, including unmodified materials, and used in percussion activities and in a wide variety of reduction strategies. A number of volcanic products were subject to outward fluxes to other parts of the paleolandscape. In contrast, quartzite rocks were introduced in smaller numbers and might have been subject to a significantly more intense exploitation. The intra-site spatial analysis has shown that specialized areas cannot be identified, unmodified materials are not randomly distributed, percussion and knapping categories do not spatially overlap, while bipolar specimens show some sort of spatial correlation with percussion activities.

Published: July 2021

Our knowledge of citrus viruses is largely skewed toward virus pathology in cultivated orchards. Little is known about the virus diversity in wild citrus species. Here, we used a metatranscriptomics approach to characterize the virus diversity in a wild citrus habitat within the proposed center of the origin of citrus plants. We discovered a total of 44 virus isolates that could be classified into species Citrus tristeza virus and putative species citrus associated ampelovirus 1, citrus associated ampelovirus 2, and citrus virus B within the family Closteroviridae, providing important information to explore the factors facilitating outbreaks of citrus viruses and the evolutionary history of the family Closteroviridae. We found that frequent horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication, and alteration of expression strategy have shaped the genome complexity and diversification of the family Closteroviridae. Recombination frequently occurred among distinct Closteroviridae members, thereby facilitating the evolution of Closteroviridae. Given the potential emergence of similar wild-citrus-originated novel viruses as pathogens, the need for surveillance of their pathogenic and epidemiological characteristics is of utmost priority for global citrus production.
From humanitas to amicitia
Authors: Boldrer Francesca
Published: July 2021

The article aims to investigate Cicero’s epistle Fam. 15.21 (46 BC), which is addressed to Trebonius, a former colleague of him and now a lieutenant of Caesar, and deals with the oratory of Calvus, an Atticist (and Catullus’ best friend), to whom Cicero had given praise and rhetorical advice in a previous letter. Cicero shows affection to Trebonius, and care to Calvus, although they weren’t quite friends of him and belonged to different parties, both in politics and oratory. An examination of the text from the point of view of form and content shows here a double example of humanitas both as benevolence (philantrophia) and as an intellectual and didactic approach (paideia). It seems the prelude to a true friendship (which is also the theme of a future dialogue of Cicero), maybe with further effects (Trebonius will participate in the conspiracy against Caesar). Moreover, several allusions and some playful situations related to the letter (such as the gift of a book containing Cicero’s jokes) recalls Catullus’ poems to his friends (above all to Calvus), confirming the idea of ​​a literary contact between the poeta novus and the orator. The result is an intertwining of personal and cultural relationships between personalities who are traditionally believed to be on opposite sides, but are closer than one might think in Cicero’s correspondence.
Per una storia del museo sacro cristiano: confronti diacronici dall’antichità ad oggi
Authors: Cecalupo Chiara
Published: July 2021

L'articolo si propone di descrivere alcuni importanti casi di musei sacri cristiani dalla tarda antichità all'età contemporanea, al fine di tracciare la storia di questa istituzione e individuare i concetti chiave che ne stanno alla base. Il confronto diacronico parte dalla donazione di libri e oggetti liturgici da parte di Sant'Agostino alla sua chiesa episcopale (fine del IV secolo), per poi passare al Medioevo - quando l'idea di musei sacri cristiani è pienamente sviluppata - e concentrarsi sul Tesoro di San Denis, istituito dall'abate Suger nel XII secolo. Nella seconda parte del saggio sono esposte le storie relative alle collezioni di oggetti cristiani nei Musei Vaticani e i concetti che li hanno ispirati nel XVIII secolo. Si passa poi alla presentazione finale con l'analisi delle attuali linee guida dei musei sacri cristiani, visti come il prodotto finale del millenario patrimonio della museologia cristiana.
La representación de la salud en la publicidad audiovisual de Manos Unidas. Análisis de contenido de las campañas institucionales de 1995 a 2017
Authors: Marfil-Carmona Rafael
Published: July 2021

Las organizaciones humanitarias encuentran cada vez más dificultades para conseguir financiación y hacer sostenible su actividad. Con ese propósito, las campañas publicitarias son una herramienta clave para implicar a la ciudadanía, siendo determinante la creatividad audiovisual. La salud, que sigue siendo prioridad en los objetivos estratégicos de Naciones Unidas, está presente en estos contenidos promocionales, ya que es causa y consecuencia de numerosas situaciones dramáticas en el mundo. En esta investigación se analiza, desde la metodología del análisis de contenido y la aplicación de criterios narrativos, la presencia de la salud en la publicidad audiovisual de Manos Unidas, desde la puesta en marcha de su primer spot televisivo en 1995 hasta 2017. Con las ventajas e inconvenientes propias de un estudio de caso, como conclusiones principales destaca la presencia de la salud en un tercio de los spots, porcentaje algo inferior a las actividades sanitarias que realiza esta ONGD. Además, es relevante el tratamiento de la mujer y de la maternidad, junto al reflejo del espacio hospitalario. Todo ello, mediante imágenes que, trasladando un testimonio veraz, evitan un excesivo dramatismo y comunican de forma positiva la necesidad de implicarse en la transformación social para conseguir un mundo mejor.

Published: July 2021

La enfermedad por el SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19) ha provocado millones de casos desde que se declarase el estado de pandemia por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) en marzo de 2020, cambiando las prácticas médicas y quirúrgicas habituales. Los sanitarios representan un importante porcentaje de la población general contagiada. Entre ellos, destaca el especial riesgo de infección en otorrinolaringólogos y cirujanos de cabeza y cuello (ORL), debido a la cercanía a la vía aérea superior y al riesgo de generación de bioaerosoles durante los procedimientos.

El objetivo de este artículo es la elaboración de un documento de práctica otorrinolaringológica segura durante la pandemia COVID19, basado en una recopilación de la mejor evidencia adaptada al riesgo de transmisión, según la combinación de los resultados de los indicadores de riesgo establecidos por el Ministerio de Sanidad, Consumo y Bienestar Social (MSCBS). El presente documento es fruto de la colaboración de las comisiones científicas y del comité COVID-19 de la SEORLCCC.

Published: July 2021

Background and Aim: The literature is scant on the effect of 11-keto-β-boswellic acid (KBA) on the liver of diabetes-induced mice. This study was designed to develop a rapid, sensitive, accurate, and inexpensive detection technique for evaluating the solubility of KBA obtained from the gum resin of Omani frankincense (Boswellia sacra) in the liver of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) reflectance spectroscopy coupled with principal components analysis (PCA). It also aimed to investigate the effect of KBA on histological changes in the hepatocytes of diabetic mice.

Materials and Methods: Eighteen mice were assigned to the healthy control group, the diabetic control group, or the KBA-treated diabetic group. Liver tissue samples from all groups were scanned using an FTIR reflectance spectrophotometer in reflection mode. FTIR reflectance spectra were collected in the wavenumber range of 400-4000 cm-1 using an attenuated total reflectance apparatus.

Results: FTIR reflectance spectra were analyzed using PCA. The PCA score plot, which is an exploratory multivariate data set, revealed complete segregation among the three groups' liver samples based on changes in the variation of wavenumber position in the FTIR reflectance spectra, which indicated a clear effect of KBA solubility on treatments. Histological analysis showed an improvement in the liver tissues, with normal structures of hepatocytes exhibiting mild vacuolation in their cytoplasm.

Conclusion: KBA improved the morphology of liver tissues in the diabetic mice and led to complete recovery of the damage observed in the diabetic control group. FTIR reflectance spectroscopy coupled with PCA could be deployed as a rapid, low-cost, and non-destructive detection method for evaluating treatment effects in diseased liver tissue based on the solubility of KBA.

THE COMPLEX CONSTRUCT OF MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT: BE AWARE OF COGNITIVE FRAILTY
Authors: CANEVELLI M. , KELAIDITI E.
Published: July 2021

A recent study in the Journal of Frailty & Aging (1)investigated the stage-specific relationship between frailty andcognitive impairment among individuals attending a MemoryClinic. The Authors hypothesized that worsening of cognitivedecline may lead to increased frailty prevalence, beingcognition a well-established contributor to individualvulnerability and resiliency to stressors. Nevertheless,seemingly counter-intuitively, they observed a “U-shaped”relationship between frailty and cognitive impairment. Inparticular, the frailty prevalence was higher among individualsdiagnosed as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), was lower inmild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, and again increased insubjects affected by moderate AD. The study, despite somemethodological issues potentially limiting the validity of results(i.e. the limited sample size), offers the opportunity to discussseveral important aspects.

Wenn das Gedächtnis zur Hölle wird: Zur alltäglichen Verdammnis totalen Erinnerns und Vergessens
Authors: Heinlein Michael
Published: July 2021

Michael Heinlein widmet sich in diesem Beitrag der Frage, wann das Gedächtnis zur Hölle wird. Anhand der Erfahrungen von Clive Wearing und Jill Price, die beide unter pathologischen Gedächtnisstörungen leiden, wird gezeigt, dass ein höllisches Gedächtnis nicht als Gegenstück zu einem himmlischen, nur das Gute erinnernden Gedächtnis verstanden werden kann. Ein höllisches Gedächtnis trennt nicht die schlimmen Vergangenheitsbezüge von den guten, erinnert nicht die eine, schlechte Vergangenheit und vergisst die andere, gute. Höllisch wird das Gedächtnis vielmehr erst dann, wenn keine Selektivität möglich ist, wenn also alles erinnert oder aber alles vergessen wird.

Nivedita Prasad nähert sich in ihrem Beitrag zunächst dem Begriff »digitalisierte geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt« und diskutiert diese als ein Kontinuum von Gewalt. An Hand internationaler Studien stellt sie Formen, Ausmaß, Prävalenzen und Auswirkungen geschlechtsspezifischer digitaler Gewalt dar und geht auf Umgangsstrategien von Betroffenen und Prävention ein. In ihrem Ausblick weist sie auf die Renaissance von sowohl »Rape Culture« als auch »Victim Blaming« bzw. Verantwortungsverschiebung in Diskursen um digitale Gewalt hin und verdeutlicht, dass hier viele Diskussionen erst am Anfang stehen.
Formen digitaler geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt
Authors: Bauer Jenny-Kerstin , Hartmann Ans
Published: July 2021

Durch den steten Fortschritt im Bereich der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) entstehen nicht nur neue Möglichkeiten der Nutzung dieser Medien. Vielmehr eröffnen sich hier auch immer neue Möglichkeiten und Wege Menschen zu verfolgen, zu bedrohen, zu belästigen und ihnen massiven Schaden zuzufügen. Dabei spielt das Internet eine besondere Rolle, da es kaum etwas vergisst und damit besondere Belastungen für die Betroffenen mit sich bringt. Fast jede Form geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt ist von den Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung betroffen; manche Formen der Gewalt sind nur durch Nutzung von IKT möglich. Für die zahlreichen Phänomene, die mit diesem Prozess einhergehen, wurde in den vergangenen Jahren der Oberbegriff »digitale Gewalt« geprägt. Im Folgenden werden vier spezifische Kategorien digitaler Gewalt (Stalking; Belästigung, Diffamierung, Beleidigung, Bedrohung; Bildbasierte sexualisierte Gewalt und Hate Speech) beleuchtet und konkrete Methoden und Strategien erläutert, die in diesen Bereichen angewendet werden.

The Wealthy, the Brilliant, the Few
Authors: Spieler Sophie
Published: July 2021

How does the US make sense of its elite educational system, given that it seems to be at odds with core American values, such as equality of opportunity or upward mobility? Sophie Spieler explores scholarly and journalistic investigations, self-representational texts, and fictional narratives revolving around the Ivy League and its peers in order to understand elite education and its peculiar position in American cultural discourse. Among the book's most surprising and groundbreaking insights is the tenacity and adaptability of meritocratic ideology across all three sub-discourses, despite its fundamental incompatibility with the American educational system.
Psychiatriereform in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland

Published: July 2021

Vor mehr als 50 Jahren wurde in Deutschland eine Psychiatriereform eingeleitet, die aus den vormaligen Anstalten ein gemeindeorientiertes System sozialpsychiatrischer Hilfen formte. Von den Anfängen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg bis zur Gegenwart bettet Christian Reumschüssel-Wienert die Entwicklung der Psychiatrie in die sozioökonomische, politische und kulturelle Entwicklung der Bundesrepublik ein. Eine integrierte Sichtweise berücksichtigt sozialpsychiatrische Diskurse ebenso wie psychiatrie- und behindertenpolitische Aspekte in klinischen und außerklinischen Kontexten. Es zeigt sich, dass die Sozialpsychiatrie gesellschaftliche Modernisierungsschübe reflektiert und nachholend umsetzt.

La provisión de agua potable con gestión municipal en San Susto (Santa fe, Argentina): crónica de esfuerzos y dificultades en momentos de incertidumbre.
Authors: Tomatis Francisco
Published: July 2021

Para avanzar hacia un desarrollo urbano sostenible en las ciudades, la gestión del agua potable resulta indispensable. A raíz de ello, el objetivo del artículo consiste en visibilizar la gestión histórica municipal del servicio de agua potable en San Justo que posee cuatro décadas de antigüedad. La particularidad radica en que San Justo es una de las pocas localidades provinciales que ha gestionado el servicio por su propio municipio, mientras que otras localidades de la provincia poseen otro modo de gestión mediante “Aguas Santafesinas SA”, cooperativas o comunas. Por medio de entrevistas hacia autoridades locales, consultas a laboratorios, recopilación de información y visitas in situ, se logra describir el servicio municipal local e identificar así las necesidades de mejora y los retos que enfrenta su gestión. Pensando en el avance hacia su sostenibilidad, en un contexto donde el aumento de la población local ejerce cada vez mayor presión sobre el servicio y sobre el recurso, la autoridad local competente deberá instituir cambios sustanciales en la gestión hídrica.

Published: July 2021

Una creciente preocupación por la sostenibilidad se ha extendido en el sector de la educación superior provocando declaraciones institucionales, acciones específicas dirigidas a reducir el impacto medioambiental, o políticas de comunicación orientadas a profesores y estudiantes. Sin embargo, la lentitud con que las instituciones que operan en este sector están adaptando sus curricula resulta frustrante, tanto más cuando se tiene en cuenta la esperanza depositada en la educación y su capacidad para sensibilizar y formar a los individuos llamados a liderar nuestra sociedad en el futuro. Los obstáculos que dificultan la sostenibilización curricular se han convertido así en materia de investigación. En este artículo se expone una investigación sobre: a) obstáculos a la sostenibilización curricular percibidos por el profesorado y b) relación entre la formación y la sensibilización del profesorado (actitudes y autopercepción de competencia para la sostenibilidad).
Human Capital and Regional Economic Growth in Russia
Authors: Alekhin Boris
Published: July 2021

This study examines the contribution of human capital accumulation to regional economic growth using panel data for 82 subjects of the Russian Federation over 2002–2019. This paper aims to test the hypothesis that in the long-run equilibrium there exists a connection between economic growth and human capital accumulation in the regions of Russia. From the point of view of econometrics, it would mean that we should refute the hypothesis that there is no cointegration of time series describing the aforementioned variables. General theoretical framework was drawn from the neoclassical growth theory, and panel data econometrics suggested the appropriate empirical methodology. Pooled mean group and fully modified least squares estimators were applied to an autoregressive distributed lags model based on the Solow model. The results indicate that accumulation of human capital has a positive and statistically significant long-term impact on the rate of growth of per capita income and that these variables are cointegrated. Such calculations allow us to make the following conclusions: per capita GRP is cointegrated with physical and human capital on the regional level. The cointegrating equation ‘explained’ more than 90% of per capita GRP variance. Human capital accumulation had a significant positive impact on per capita GRP growth in the long run; such impact exceeded the impact of physical capital accumulation. The positive impact of human capital accumulation on per capita GRP growth surpassed the negative elasticity of growth GRP by the amount of resource excluded from the real sector to provide support to students and maintain the regional education system. The paces at which regional economies were heading towards the steady state differed which is an evidence that there exist an incredible manifold of ways and means for regions to adjust to disbalancies
Spatial Modeling of Voter Choice: The Survey of Theoretical and Empirical Approach
Authors:   Post-graduate student of the Graduate school of Economics (Department of applied Economics), National Research University Higher School of Economics, Kuletskaya Lada
Published: July 2021

As for today, political elections are the key form of people’s participation in the formation of the state in all democratic countries, which is why theoretical works in the field of spatial modeling of voter choice appeared relatively long ago and played a major role in the development of both further theoretical and empirical research in this area. In this survey we firstly give a brief overview of the history of the formation of spatial modeling in relation to election results and political preferences of individuals from the point of view of research methodology, based on the classical theoretical ‘proximity model’ and ‘directional model’, where rational individuals determine their political positions and compare them with the positions of candidates. Secondly, we explain the appearance of the studies of the mutual influence of voters living in neighboring territories on each other as one of the factors that determine the voters’ political positions and, accordingly, the final choice of a candidate. We also point out the authors’ different explanations of the reasons for the appearance of such mutual influence of voters and other factors affecting voters living in neighboring territories (also called as ‘contextual effects’) and emphasize the importance of taking them into account in the studies of electoral preferences. A separate chapter in this paper presents the systematization and description of the main empirical approaches to spatial modeling of electoral choice: at the beginning, we present the basic econometric spatial models (used by the authors regardless of the subject of the study), and then we describe the empirical work in the field of voter choice, depending on the hypotheses, focusing on the research methodology and the data used. In conclusion, we define the main directions for the research development and the vector of further practical work in this area. This paper will help researchers understand existing fundamental works, evaluate current approaches to the modeling of electoral choice, and improve theoretical or empirical spatial analysis
The Aesthetics of ‘Speaking Objects’ in Aniki-Bóbó’s Anthropo-cosmo-morphic Material
Authors: Biondi Teresa
Published: July 2021

The surface of the things which make up the pro-filmic constitutes the shell/ signifier chosen to shape the soul of the filmic world or its anthropo-cosmo-morphic image rendered by the techniques of film language. The result is the creation of a complex and multi-layered “possible world”, consisting of discursive parts that speak through the dramaturgy and aesthetics of the film, a socio-semantics which transfigures the matter of bodies and objects through the mechanisms of filmic re-signification. Amongst these, the intellectual montage as well as all the graphic and audio signs that appear on the scene can be identified. These signs stand out because of their metaphorical-discursive capacity, as will be analysed in the film Aniki-Bóbó (1942) by Manoel de Oliveira: the written words that serve to give voice to inanimate matter (Carlitos’ bag); the modelled forms which reproduce material allegories or doubles of the human body (the doll); the fragile materials that refer to the children’s fragility itself; the steel and iron of mechanised infrastructures showing the modernisation of the country; the classical architecture, the nature of the place and the free, open-air spaces of games, as opposed to closed spaces that recall underdeveloped pedagogical institutions; and among the latter, the liminal place par excellence, symbolised by the ‘Shop of Temptations’. In the filmic whole, bodies, places and objects are thus configured as interconnected parts of a single compact world, in which the cosmos is reflected in the anthropo, and the anthropo in the cosmos, in order to transfigure, in a metaphorical key, the immaterial culture referring to the changes in national identity. This allegorical fable of Portuguese pedagogical culture ultimately proposes the possibility of a social (and political) change, projected into a ‘just’ future without dictatorship (victory of good over evil).

This study reports a green approach for the modification of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles with immobilization of silver nanoparticles. One of the natural sources i.e., Mangifera indica leaf extract was utilized as reducing and capping agent for the fabrication of Ag-TiO2 nanocatalyst. Further, the surface morphology and band-gap energy of prepared Ag-TiO2 were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and UV–Vis spectroscopy. Also, it was characterized by X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) which provides the information regarding the crystallinity of the Ag-TiO2. Subsequently, photo activity of Ag-TiO2 was investigated for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye wastewater through visible light driven photoreactor. The Ag-TiO2 provided highest (68%) of photo-degradation efficiency within 110 min for 7.81 × 10−5 mol/L initial MB concentration at pH 8 by using 0.19 g/L photocatalyst. Further, addition of 10 mM H2O2 boost up the MB photodegradation to 74%. The kinetic study confirmed the MB degradation followed first order rate of reaction.
Three kinds of caesarean sections: the foetal/neonatal perspective
Authors: Odent Michel Robert Fortuné
Published: July 2021

In the age of hospital births, it is commonplace to contrast the vaginal route and the abdominal route as the basic classification. From the “point of view” of the foetus/neonate, we provide reasons to contrast “birth without labour” (that is birth by pre-labour caesarean section) and all the other vaginal and abdominal modes of birth. From a great diversity of theoretical reasons, one can anticipate that babies born by pre-labour caesarean sections are different from the others. We also provide reasons to popularize the concepts of “in labour non-emergency caesarean sections” and “planned in-labour caesarean sections”.
In silico study of the synergistic anti-tumor effect of hybrid topoisomerase-HDAC inhibitors
Authors: Kashyap Kriti , Kakkar Rita
Published: July 2021

Combination therapies that include treatment of cancerous cells with histone deacetylase (HDACs) inhibitors prior to treatment with topoisomerase inhibitors have shown synergistic anti-tumor effects. The promising results of such combination therapies have led to the development of a novel class of multitarget hybrid inhibitors that are designed by merging the scaffolds of topoisomerase and HDAC inhibitors, which consequently inhibit both classes of cancer-inducing targets simultaneously. These multitarget hybrids also have pharmacokinetic advantages over the traditional combinatorial approach, which struggles with disadvantages like maintaining optimum concentrations of multiple toxic drugs, which in turn leads to enhanced toxicity and other side-effects associated with the multiple drugs administered. Binding modes of some Top-HDAC hybrids have been predicted with the help of molecular docking in order to understand the binding of such hybrids with their target receptors and to identify the structural determinants responsible for their synergistic anti-tumor effect. Extra precision docking of Top1-HDAC and Top2-HDAC hybrid inhibitors has been carried out with Top1-DNA, Top2-DNA, HDAC1 and HDAC6 receptor structures. A detailed analysis of the molecular interactions of the hybrids with the target receptor binding sites has been undertaken and their predicted binding modes have been compared with the crystal binding modes of their component drugs. An explanation for the apparent selectivity of the hybrids towards HDAC6 has also been provided.
Computational cold plasma dynamics and its potential application in food processing
Authors: Manoharan Dharini , Radhakrishnan Mahendran
Published: July 2021

Cold plasma is a novel nonthermal technology that has been used for preserving and maintaining the quality of food materials. Researchers developed numerous cold plasma equipment to study the effect of plasma on food materials; however, the degree of processing such as flow of plasma species from the source of plasma to the food material and their interaction/diffusion into the food, differs with respect to the equipment. The computational study can simulate the flow dynamics of plasma which in turn can improve the efficiency of processing and design aspects. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the most reliable, cost-effective, and robust numerical tool used for simulating various high-end food processing technologies. In cold plasma processing, computational study aids in revealing the distribution of reactive species and their flow dynamics on the target surface. As CFD studies on plasma interaction with food materials are not available, this review is focused on covering the basics of using CFD in cold plasma simulation. It also explores the significant use of CFD in cold plasma simulation in various sectors along with its possible and futuristic applications in food processing.

Published: July 2021

Objectives

This observational study aimed to assess the difference in disability, burden, and sensitization between migraine patients with low-frequency headache attack (1–8 headache days/month), high-frequency headache attack (9–14 headache days/months), and patients with chronic migraine (>14 headache days/months).

Methods

Migraine patients with or without aura were divided into three groups according to headache frequency (low-frequency episodic migraine; high-frequency episodic migraine; chronic migraine). Questionnaires were used to assess the burden of headache, quality of life, phycological burden, and symptoms related to sensitization (estimated by the Central Sensitization Inventory). Differences among migraine groups were assessed using Chi-Quadro test, ANOVA, or Kruskal–Wallis as appropriate.

Results

136 patients were included (68 low-frequency episodic migraine, 45 high-frequency episodic migraine, 23 chronic migraine). Patients with high frequency episodic migraine and chronic migraine differed from patients with low frequency episodic migraine showing a worse burden of headache (p=0.002; p=0.002), worse level of physical (p=0.001; p<0.001) and mental (p=0.002; p=0.001) quality of life, worse level of depression (p=0.008; p=0.003), and increase presence of symptoms related to sensitization (p<0.001; p=0.003). No differences were found in any variables between patients with high-frequency episodic migraine and patients with chronic migraine (p>0.05).

Conclusions

Patients with high-frequency episodic migraine and chronic migraine could be considered in the same segment of the migraine population, with similar degrees of disability and sensitization related symptoms.
Egy merénylet tisztázatlan hátterétől a konspirációs elméletek keletkezését magyarázó gazasági tényezőkig
Authors: Oroszi Sándor
Published: July 2021

A tanulmány a gazdasági, azon belül is elsősorban a pénzügyi-banki szféra visszásságaira koncentrál. Az egyház azt tanítja, már Jézus is fellépett a pénzváltók és kufárok ellen, kiűzte őket a templomból. Erre utalt Roosevelt elnök is beiktatási beszédében: „a pénzváltók elmenekültek a civilizáció templomának magasztos székeiből.” (Roosevelt, 1932) Kisvártatva azonban visszatértek…A dolgozat az USA monetáris történetének felemás jelenségeire fókuszál. Az amerikai pénzügyi csoportok az Egyesült Államok világhatalmi státuszának kialakulásával párhuzamosan a nemzetközi pénzügyi életben, a globális pénzügyi szervezetekben is  domináns szerephez jutottak. Eközben – finoman szólva – nem mindig a fair play követelményei szerint versenyeztek a gazdasági tranzakciók színpadán.A legtekintélyesebb amerikai elnökök, tekintélyes politikusok nyíltan beszéltek a központi bankok esetében tapasztalt korrupcióról, de Nobel-emlékdíjas közgazdák elemzéseinek centrumába is gyakran került a Fed tevékenysége. A krimiken edződött közvélemény a nem tisztázott hátterű eseményeket igyekezett a maga módján „magyarázni”, szép számmal fogalmazódtak meg konspirációs  elméletek.Írásom célja annak vizsgálata, hogy az egyes országok pénzügyi intézményeinek, a nemzetközi pénzügyi szervezeteknek a magatartásában találhatók-e olyan motívumok, olyan mozzanatok, amelyek súrolják a jogszabályok által kijelölt határokat. Másként fogalmazva: szolgáltattak-e okot tevékenységükkel a konspirációs elméletek megfogalmazására?
