Sirtuin as the target of anti-cancer therapy
Authors: Baran Marzena , Miziak Paulina Anna , Bonio Katarzyna
Published: September 2020

Sirtuins is a group of nicotinamide dinucleotide (NAD +) - dependent, which have deacetylation and ADP-ribosylation activity. They work by detaching the acetyl group from the lysine residue of the histones, thanks to which they influence the control of gene expression. There are 7 classes of sirtuins due to the type of enzymatic activity and the cellular compartment in which they occur. They have a significant impact on the cell cycle, cellular process, including glucose metabolism, fat differentiation, fatty acid oxidation, neurogenesis, carcinogenesis and the aging process. Due to its unique properties, compounds are sought that can control the concentration of sirtuins in the body. One of such substances is resveratrol. It is a naturally occurring polyphenol that has a number of positive effects on the body. It works by increasing the concentration of NAD +, which is a sirtuin cofactor. It occurs naturally, and its greatest concentration is found in grapes and peanuts. It has a beneficial effect in the treatment of pancreatic, colon, breast, prostate and liver cancer. Research indicates that there is a potential for resveratrol supplementation to have positive health effects. However, there is still a need for more research on resveratrol, particularly in animal models. Determining the effectiveness of this chemical as an anti-cancer agent can be a major area of research and clinical trials.

Published: September 2020

Urine infections represent 40-50% of all infections in hospitalized patients. The most common uropathogens are E.coli, S.saprophitycus, and less commonly Enterobacteriaceae, such as Proteus mirabilis and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The spectrum of microorganisms isolated in hospital conditions may be wider. Raoultella planticola is a rare cause of human infections, so far only few cases of ZUM with this etiology have been described.A 56-years-old patient, with a history of cardiac disease, with exacerbation of chronic kidney disease, was admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine. The reason for admission was general  deterioration. Many abnormalities in laboratory tests were detected. The doctors' attention was focused on the significant bacteriuria. Moreover, the patient reported dysuria symptoms. Material for urine microbiological culture was taken and empirical antibiotic therapy with ciprofloxacin started. The obtained result of urine culture allowed to identify the bacteria by R. planticola. As a result of the applied treatment, the patient's condition improved.An increasing number of infections with R. planticolla etiology is observed. The bacterium may lead to infections in many systems. The group of patients at risk of the disease includes people with renal dysfunction, who are immunosuppressed. Infections of R. planticolla etiology are usually characterized by good antibiotic response and positive prognosis.

Introduction

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a social problem. Hemodialysis is the most common method of renal replacement therapy. At the beginning of hemodialysis treatment, physical activity is reduced by 50-60%. The aim of the study was to compare physical activity, handgrip strength and selected anthropometric parameters, and to assess the relationship between handgrip strength, selected anthropometric parameters and the level of physical activity.

Material and methods

The study included 30 patients aged 65.92 ± 14.65 treated by hemodialysis. The study consisted of patients completing a proprietary survey questionnaire, assessing physical activity using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), handgrip strength, and performing selected anthropometric measurements. The examinations were performed at baseline (E0) and after three months of hemodialysis (E3) treatment and the results were compared.

Results

There were no significant differences in the study group for physical activity and global handgrip strength at baseline and after three months of the study. There was no statistically significant differences beetwen physical activity and handgrip strength in study and control group.

Conclusions

Patients treated with renal replacement present less physical activity compared to people with normal kidney function. The BMI value and level of physical activity does not affect the handgrip strength in hemodialysis patients.

, and the mode purity of the vortex beam is 90.66%. Under the incidence of the linearly polarized light at 1550 nm, the metasurface also works as the azimuthally/radially polarized beam generator with high performance, and the purities of the azimuthally and the radially polarized beams are 92.52% and 91.02%, respectively. Moreover, the metasurface generates different output spots under the different incident lights which can be applied to optical encryption, and the metasurface with the phase gradient also can be used as the dual-channel encoder/decoder in optical communication. The simulated results are in good agreement with the theoretical derivation. The designed metasurface may become a potential candidate as a multi-function photon device in the integrated optical system in the future.
Tunable broadband terahertz absorber based on a single-layer graphene metasurface
Authors: Han Juzheng , Chen Rushan
Published: September 2020

In this paper, a broadband and tunable terahertz absorber based on a graphene metasurface in a sandwiched structure is introduced. A single-layered graphene patterned with hollow-out squares is applied in this design, which is continuously connected to provide convenience for electrical tuning and fabrication. Plasmonic coupling and hybridization inside the graphene pattern can significantly enhance the absorption bandwidth. Moreover, polarization-insensitive and omnidirectional performances are also guaranteed by the symmetrical design. Full wave simulations demonstrate that the absorber exhibits over 90% absorbance within 1.14∼3.31 THz with a fractional bandwidth up to 97.5%. The device reveals tunable absorbance from 14% to almost 100% by manipulating the graphene chemical potential from 0 to 0.9 eV. When the incident angle sweeps up to 55°, the absorbance remains more than 90% from 1.77 to 3.42 THz for TE polarization, while over 90% absorbance maintains around 3.3 THz for TM polarization. These superior abilities guarantee the applicability of the presented absorber in THz cloaking, tunable sensor and photovoltaic devices.
Liquid crystal bifocal lens with adjustable intensities through polarization controls
Authors: Zhou Yingjie , Yuan Yide , Zeng Tibin , Wang Xiangru , Tang Dongliang , Fan Fan , Wen Shuangchun
Published: September 2020

In this Letter, transverse and longitudinal liquid crystal bifocal lenses (LCBLs) are proposed to continuously control the relative intensity of two foci through a simple polarization control. The modulation of a LCBL comes from the geometric phase control and is designed through the principle of holography, where the object wave is a light field from two foci respectively formed by the left-circular polarized (LCP) and right-circular polarized (RCP) light, and the reference wave is the incident plane wave. Constructed millimeter-scale LCBLs are verified experimentally, and the foci are precisely formed at the preset plane. Besides, the relative intensity can be easily controlled with different weights of LCP and RCP light. The proposed strategy overcomes the shortcomings of previous bifocal lenses, such as a complex design method, a long optimization time, and an unchangeable relative intensity, and it is expected to find potential applications in parallel optical processing and optical interconnections.

Authors: Boontiam Waewaree , Wachirapakorn Chalong , Phaengphairee Phreerapong
Published: September 2020

Background and Aim: Weaning pigs normally suffer from many stressors which have impaired growth performance and immunity. Hydrolyzed yeast has been proposed as an alternative feed additive. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various levels of hydrolyzed yeast (HY) supplementation in the feed of weaning pigs on growth performance, diarrhea incidence, immunity, antioxidant capacity, and microbial populations. Materials and Methods: A total of 144 crossbred weaning pigs (Duroc × Landrace × Large White) with a mean body weight (BW) of 7.46 kg were randomly assigned to one of four treatments during a 5-week feeding trial. Treatments consisted of a basal diet without HY inclusion (control), or the basal diet supplemented with HY at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 g/kg of diet, respectively. Results: Piglets fed with 1.0 or 1.5 g/kg HY presented significantly increased BW (p=0.009) and decreased incidence of diarrhea (p=0.001). The final BW (p=0.012), average daily gain (p=0.094), and average daily feed intake (p=0.091) showed a linear improvement with the level of HY inclusion. However, the gain-to-feed ratio was unaffected by dietary treatments. Linear responses to the HY supplementation levels were also observed for blood urea nitrogen (p=0.030), total protein (p=0.017), lymphocyte percentage (p=0.064), catalase activity (p=0.089), malondialdehyde (MDA) level (p=0.001), Salmonella spp. (p=0.024), Escherichia coli (p=0.021), and Lactobacillus spp. (p=0.048). Dietary inclusion of HY at 1.0 and 1.5 g/kg resulted in increased immunoglobulin A and G secretions (p=0.042 and p=0.022, respectively) and decreased MDA concentration (p<0.01) and Salmonella spp. (p=0.026) and E. coli (p=0.050). Conclusion: It was concluded that HY inclusion at 1.0 and 1.5 g/kg in the diet of weaning pigs improve BW, immunoglobulin secretion, and antioxidant enzyme activity, whereas it lowers diarrhea occurrence, lipid peroxidation, and pathogenic bacteria in weaning pigs.
Correlação Espacial do Alto Teor de Ferro na Água Subterrânea dos Aquíferos Sedimentar e Metassedimentar do Estado da Bahia e os atributos, Clima, Pluviometria e Litologia

Published: September 2020

Este artigo apresenta uma correlação espacial dos altos teores de ferro na água subterrânea dos aquíferos sedimentar e metassedimentar do Estado da Bahia e os atributos, clima, pluviosidade e litologia, para os poços perfurados entre 2003-2013 com vazão de teste ≥ 1m³/h. No domínio das rochas sedimentares, de 494 amostras, 152 (30,8%) apresentaram alto teor de ferro, enquanto no domínio das rochas metassedimentares, de 675 amostras, apresentaram alto teor de ferro um total de 227 (33,6%). Teores elevados de ferro limitam o uso da água subterrânea para consumo humano, principalmente nas regiões onde não há condições econômicas de efetuar, permanentemente, o tratamento para a remoção do ferro. Por isso, o entendimento de como o ferro está espacializado nesses aquíferos, e sua correlação com os atributos, clima, pluviometria e litologia é útil para a melhor prospecção deste recurso. Os resultados obtidos nos aquíferos sedimentares mostram que quanto maior a faixa pluviométrica e predomínio do clima úmido, e úmido à subúmido, verifica-se maior percentual de poços com alto teor de ferro. Nos metassedimentos, com ocorrência de clima subúmido à seco, e semiárido, e médias de pluviosidade por porção do domínio razoavelmente próximas, a presença de rochas produtoras de ferro melhor explicaram os maiores percentuais de poços com ferro alto.
Cost-Effectiveness of 5-Aminosalicylate Therapy in Combination With Biologics or Tofacitinib in the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis

Published: September 2020

INTRODUCTION:

Medications are major cost drivers in the treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Recent analyses suggest that there is no added efficacy in continuing nor harm in stopping 5-aminosalicylate (ASA) therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease escalated to biological therapies or tofacitinib. We assessed the cost-effectiveness of discontinuing 5-ASA therapy in patients with ulcerative colitis on biological therapies or tofacitinib, compared with continuing 5-ASA therapy.

METHODS:

We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis of 5-ASA with biologic therapy and tofacitinib compared with the same treatment without 5-ASA. Our primary outcome was to determine whether biologic/tofacitinib monotherapy was cost-effective compared with biologic/tofacitinib and 5-ASA combination therapy using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio at a willingness to pay of $50,000/quality-adjusted life year. Owing to the uncertainty surrounding outcome probabilities, probabilistic sensitivity analyses with 10,000 simulations were also performed. We conducted a sensitivity analysis comparing biologic/tofacitinib and 5-ASA therapy compared with biologic/tofacitinib monotherapy, whereby vedolizumab was the first biologic used, followed by infliximab and finally tofacitinib.

RESULTS:

Our model shows that biologic/tofacitinib monotherapy dominates (cheaper and more effective) combination therapy of biologics/tofacitinib with 5-ASA. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses simulations resulted in biologic/tofacitinib monotherapy dominating 100% of the scenarios, with mean cost savings of $24,483.01 over 2 years. When vedolizumab was the first-line therapy in the sensitivity analysis, biologic/tofacitinib monotherapy continued to dominate the combination of 5-ASA and biologic/tofacitinib therapy.

DISCUSSION:

This analysis in patients with ulcerative colitis who require treatment with biologics or tofacitinib demonstrates that continuing 5-ASA therapy is not a cost-effective strategy. Discontinuation of 5-ASA therapy in these patients is safe and less expensive and should be recommended.
Gaming Musical Instruments
Authors: Torge Claussen Jan
Published: September 2020

This article addresses the relationship between labour and learning a popular musical instrument like the guitar in the specific context of a video game. Most gamification theories promise that using a video game makes it easy to learn (Kapp 2012; Deterding et al. 2011). Even if this holds true, I argue that this kind of playfulness causes some backlash, which I observed during an experiment in which students played the music video game Rocksmith 2014. Learning and playing the guitar through the medium of a video game comes with diverse experiences as well as expectations that are closely related to the dichotomies between play and work, often discussed in game studies based on the famous texts by Johann Huizinga (2004) and Roger Caillois (1960). Learning any traditional music instrument requires much effort in several skill areas, for example, dexterity, hearing, sight-reading, and performance. In other words, it seems to be hard work and not at all playful like a video game. In this article, the various aspects of playful work and labourious play, found in both music education and guitar games, will be discussed against the backdrop of empirical findings including data from online interviews, research diaries and video recordings.

Published: September 2020

Immersive technologies, like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) have undergone technical evolutions over the last few decades. Their rapid development and dynamic changes enable their effective applications in medicine, in fields like imaging, preprocedural planning, treatment, operations planning, medical students training, and active support during therapeutic and rehabilitation procedures. Within this paper, a comprehensive analysis of VR/AR/MR application in the medical industry and education is presented. We overview and discuss our previous experience with AR/MR and 3D visual environment and MR-based imaging systems in cardiology and interventional cardiology. Our research shows that using immersive technologies users can not only visualize the heart and its structure but also obtain quantitative feedback on their location. The MR-based imaging system proposed offers better visualization to interventionists and potentially helps users understand complex operational cases. The results obtained suggest that technology using VR/AR/MR can be successfully used in the teaching process of future doctors, both in aspects related to anatomy and clinical classes. Moreover, the system proposed provides a unique opportunity to break the boundaries, interact in the learning process, and exchange experiences inside the medical community.

Published: September 2020

In this paper, a class of Cohen-Grossberg fuzzy cellular neural networks (CGFCNNs) with time-varying delays are considered. Initially, the sufficient conditions are proposed to ascertain the existence and uniqueness of the solutions for the considered dynamical system via homeomorphism mapping principle. Then synchronization of the considered delayed neural networks is analyzed by utilizing the drive-response (master-slave) concept, in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI), the Lyapunov-Krasovskii (LK) functional, and also using some free weighting matrices. Next, this result is extended so as to establish the robust synchronization of a class of delayed CGFCNNs with polytopic uncertainty. Sufficient conditions are proposed to ascertain that the considered delayed networks are robustly synchronized by using a parameter-dependent LK functional and LMI technique. The restriction on the bounds of derivative of the time delays to be less than one is relaxed. In particular, the concept of fuzzy theory is greatly extended to study the synchronization with polytopic uncertainty which differs from previous efforts in the literature. Finally, numerical examples and simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.
The Social Injustice of Parental Imprisonment
Authors: Bülow William , Lindblom Lars
Published: September 2020

Children of prisoners are often negatively affected by their parents’ incarceration, which raises issues of justice. A common view is that the many negative effects associated with parental imprisonment are unjust, simply because children of prisoners are impermissibly harmed or unjustly punished by their parents’ incarceration. We argue that proposals of this kind have problems with accounting for cases where it is intuitive that prison might create social injustices for children of prisoners. Therefore, we suggest that in addition to the question of whether children of prisoners are impermissibly harmed, we should ask whether the inequalities that these children endure because of their parent’s incarceration are objectionable from a social justice perspective. To answer this latter question, we examine the negative effects associated with parental imprisonment from the perspective of luck egalitarianism. We develop a luck egalitarian account that incorporates insights from the philosophy of childhood. On our account, children of prisoners might endure two different types of objectionable inequalities, since they are often deprived of resources that are important for ensuring fair equality of opportunity in adulthood, but also because they are likely to suffer inequalities in terms of childhood welfare. After defending this account, we explore its implications for policy.
The Pauli–Jung Conjecture and Its Relatives: A Formally Augmented Outline
Authors: Atmanspacher Harald
Published: September 2020

The dual-aspect monist conjecture launched by Pauli and Jung in the mid-20th century will be couched in somewhat formal terms to characterize it more concisely than by verbal description alone. After some background material situating the Pauli–Jung conjecture among other conceptual approaches to the mind–matter problem, the main body of this paper outlines its general framework of a basic psychophysically neutral reality with its derivative mental and physical aspects and the nature of the correlations that connect these aspects. Some related approaches are discussed to identify key similarities to and deviations from the Pauli–Jung framework that may be useful for cross-fertilization.
Woke Comedy vs. Pride Comedy: Kondabolu, Peters, and the Ethics of Performed Indian Accents

Published: September 2020

Humor can be used as a tool for a wide range of tasks, including fighting for social justice. How to most effectively use it, however, is a matter of contention. Jokes that alienate members of an out-group can be called “Otherizing,” and can cause harm by virtue of the alienation. Woke comics, like Hari Kondabolu, intentionally avoid Otherizing in general, but may engage in a version of it that seeks to defang stereotypical treatments of out-groups by replacing the alienating content with something benign. We term this use of Otherizing, “mOtherizing.” Pride comics, like Russell Peters, take a different approach and try to usurp the power of Otherizing by over-engaging in it. The intention is to use the jokes to cobble together a coalition of out-groups that turns itself into an in-group. We term this use of Otherizing, “brOtherizing.”
Shaping modern Indo-Aryan isoglosses
Authors: Stroński Krzysztof , Verbeke Saartje
Published: September 2020

Since the pioneering paper by Emenau (1956) there have been many attempts (cf. Masica 1976, 2001; Ebert 2001; among many others) to select areal features which are shared among languages spoken in South Asia. However, there has been little consent on the number of such features and the possible direction of their spread.

In this paper we are focusing on two selected isoglosses, namely alignment and constituent order. Both of them have been used to define the Indo-Aryan linguistic area: alignment is one of the key elements to distinguish western from eastern Indo-Aryan (Peterson 2017) and word order is one of the innovations which differentiates some of the “Outer” languages from “Inner” Indo-Aryan languages (Zoller 2017: 15).

This article focuses on two languages which are said to determine these isoglosses: Awadhi and Kashmiri. Our study of Awadhi shows that the isogloss delineating ergative or accusative case marking zones is situated in the area where the so-called Eastern Hindi dialects (among them Awadhi) are spoken. As we will demonstrate, this specific isogloss is substantially supported by diachronic evidence. The second language under consideration, namely Kashmiri, is an example of an “Outer” language with a quite stable V2 feature. Both Awadhi and Kashmiri are compared with Pahari, a language branch which functions as a link between the two of them. Our comparison of Kashmiri with certain Western Pahari Himachali languages shows that there is no clear borderline between two language groups supported by word order. We conclude from these case studies that the study of isoglosses is by definition a study of fluid boundaries, and qualitative, historical studies of one language can prove or disprove hypotheses based on synchronic similarities between languages.
Relationship Marketing and Intangible Resources: The Mediating Effect of Loyalty
Authors: Rosa Dayanna , Rua Orlando Lima
Published: September 2020

This paper aims to introduce loyalty as a relevant mediator construct on the relation between relationship marketing and intangible resources. This study tests a hypothesized model using partial least squares structural equation modeling on data from a survey conducted with Portuguese footwear industry companies based in Portugal. Findings provides evidence that in the perception of top managers, (1) relationship marketing positively influences customer loyalty, (2) customer loyalty positively influences the company’s intangible resources and (3) customer loyalty has a mediating effect between relationship marketing and intangible resources. Generally, managers can use this research to rethink their corporate relationship marketing strategies: companies may acquire meaningful market benefits through a systematic reconfiguration of their intangible resources, combined with measures that empower loyalty. This study contributes to marketing theory by conceptualizing loyalty as a mediator variable on the relations between relationship marketing and intangible resources, comprising a pioneering application to the footwear industry.
Economic Strategies of Households during the Period of Recovery Following the Global Financial Crisis
Authors: Babović Marija
Published: September 2020

The aim of this article is to provide longitudinal insights into the economic strategies that households from differing social strata have adopted as they attempt to adjust to the changing socio-economic environment of the postsocialist transformation. A survey conducted in 2012 showed a significant decline in proactive economic strategies and a strong reliance on pensions and formal employment, occurring as a result of the 2008 financial crisis. The latest data, from a 2018 survey, show that post-crisis recovery has been followed by a renewal of proactive economic strategies, along with a more diverse range of labour strategies, and that households adopting these are achieving a better economic position. As was the case before the financial crisis, the economic position of households has been strongly influenced by the type of strategy they choose. This has greater significance than their starting position in the social strata.
Crystal structure relations in the binary system Li–Sn including the compound c-Li3Sb

A topological analysis of the crystal structures of Li, Li–Sn compounds, Li8Sn3−x
Sb
x
and metastable c-Li3Sb showed that these structures can be described by a hierarchical scheme of building blocks based on atom blocks and polyhedra blocks, respectively. These blocks are linked in distinct ways to form the individual 3D atom arrangement. A common model was established for the construction of the mentioned structures from bespoke building blocks, for which bcc-Li is the aristotype. This latter structure can be described on the basis of hexa-capped cubes from which variants are derived through substitution of Li by Sn (or Sb). These are then combined into polyhedra blocks that are in turn assembled into polyhedra sequences. These latter are repeated and linked in three dimensions to form the whole crystal structure. At x
Sn ≥ 0.5, this mechanism changes and structural elements from bcc-Li and β-Sn can be observed in LiSn and Li2Sn5. In this work, we present the similarities and differences between the various crystal structures, the topological model with its construction rules and its limitations.

Kabacinski, J, Murawa, M, Fryzowicz, A, Gorwa, J, and Dworak, LB. Lower extremities strength differences in female volleyball players with stage 1 patellar tendinopathy. J Strength Cond Res 36(8): 2230–2235, 2022—The main purpose of the study was to compare the muscle strength between the involved knee (IK) and uninvolved knee (UK) in 12 female volleyball players with stage 1 chronic patellar tendinopathy. Evaluation included the isometric maximal strength to body mass (MS/BM) of the lower extremities extensors for unilateral and bilateral conditions, concentric isokinetic peak torque to body mass (PT/BM) of the hamstrings and quadriceps at 60°·s−1 and 180°·s−1, IK to UK extensors maximal strength ratio (SR), IK to UK hamstrings (or quadriceps) peak torque ratio (TR), and hamstrings to quadriceps peak TR (H/Q). The results indicated a significantly lower unilateral and bilateral MS/BM of lower extremities extensors for IK than UK (p < 0.001). However, there were no significant differences in SR variable between the unilateral condition and bilateral condition (p = 0.448). Only at the 60°·s−1 velocity, significantly lower quadriceps PT/BM for IK compared with the UK (p < 0.001) and the control group (p < 0.001) were observed. Torque ratio related to the quadriceps group was significantly lower at 60°·s−1 than 180°·s−1 (p = 0.004). Furthermore, significantly higher H/Q for IK compared with UK (p < 0.001) and control group (p = 0.008) only at 60°·s−1 was found. These findings show a significant isometric strength asymmetry for both unilateral and bilateral conditions and a significant concentric strength asymmetry at the low velocity. This study suggests strengthening the weaker quadriceps group and balancing the strength between hamstrings and quadriceps within the knee with patellar tendinopathy.
