Ten guiding principles for movement training in neurorehabilitation
Authors: McLoughlin James
Published: January 2021

Clinicians and researchers in neurorehabilitation continue to have difficulties with reporting and describing the many active components used within physical therapy interventions. People with neurological conditions can present with cognitive, perceptual, behavioural and physical impairments that require individual consideration within their training program. Current knowledge from the areas from motor control theories, neuroscience and clinical evidence from neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation all inform the design of movement training programs. Such a diverse field of theoretical, scientific and clinical knowledge makes it difficult to agree upon a consistent way to label the many components relevant to training. This article proposes the use of ten guiding principles of movement training that can provide terminology for use in neurorehabilitation clinical practice that could be used by both professionals and individuals with neurological conditions. The ten Movement Training Principles could potentially improve interdisciplinary collaboration, enhance teaching of the clinical reasoning process and drive innovation for future therapies.

Authors: Savi Çakar Firdevs , Uzun Kıvanç
Published: January 2021

The aim of this study is to determine the predictive level of teacher abuse, school burnout and school attachment for risky behaviors in adolescents, and to examine risky behaviors according to some demographic variables. Relational survey model was employed in the study. The study group consisted of 446 adolescents with an average age of 15.49 years studying in secondary schools. Personal information form, Risky Behaviors Scale, Teacher Emotional Abuse Scale, School Burnout Scale and School Attachment Scale for Adolescents were used to obtain demographic information about students. As for data analysis, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient Analysis, Multiple Linear Regression Analysis, Independent Samples t-Test and One-Way Variance Analysis were employed. As a result, it was found that teacher abuse and school burnout predicted adolescents’ risky behaviors in a positively significant direction whereas school attachment predicted adolescents’ risky behaviors in a negatively significant direction. It was revealed that the score averages taken from the total and sub-dimensions of risky behaviors differed significantly according to gender, grade level, academic average, perceived socioeconomic level and family structure variables. In addition, it was determined that suicidal tendencies did not differ based on gender, academic average and class level; antisocial behaviors and school dropout did not significantly differ according to the grade level.

Published: January 2021

This paper explores the development of multi centre urban spatial structures, as the development of three classical models, namely monocentric, sectoral, and multiple nuclei. By implementing a literature study method on studies of the global development of urban spatial structures which began from the 1960s until the 2000s era, lessons learned for Indonesia can be taken in promoting sustainable urban spatial structure.  The thought of developing urban spatial structure starts from the awareness of urban expansion beyond its administrative boundaries in the 1960s (urban field), the importance of the systemic context in the development of urban spatial structures (1970s), the systemic concept must be supported by the collaboration of mutual cooperation among city’s functions in the concept of inter-city networks (1980s), spatial planning integration between core cities and suburbs which emerge urban areas (1990s). In 2000s era, the development of polycentric could be located in one urban area or among urban areas, also highly connected with innovation as a reflection of the use of knowledge for urban centers (2010s era).  During the decades, it can be concluded that multi city centers lead to the enrichment of urban function in the sense of public interest and common concern, especially symbolizes continuing knowledge based innovation which could interfere market and existing values (disruption era),  so collaboration among city centers is needed to perform a sustainable synergic urban spatial structure.
A Comparative Analysis of Carbon Fiber–Reinforced Polymers Subjected to Lightning Damage Tests with Conical Electrodes and Jet Diverting Electrodes
Authors: Chen Jian , Li Zhibao , Fu Zhengcai
Published: January 2021

The results in the damage testing of carbon fiber–reinforced polymers (CFRPs) subjected to simulated lightning strikes are affected by the type of discharge electrodes employed in the laboratory. In this work, two kinds of discharge electrodes, a conical electrode and a jet diverting electrode, were discussed for use in the CFRP-lightning strike testing. The CFRP damage responses to different electrodes were characterized and compared in terms of surface damage area, internal delamination, temperature distribution, pressure distribution, high-temperature gas expansion, and residual flexural strength. The electric arc formed by the conical electrode was more concentrated than that under the jet diverting electrode configuration, thereby producing a smaller surface and internal damage area but a deeper damage depth. The residual mechanical properties of CFRPs tested with the conical electrode decreased significantly under lightning strikes. The discharge channel was uncontrollable by utilizing the jet diverting electrode, and the test results were more dispersed than the results under the conical electrode, which was not conducive to the damage analysis or the repetition of testing. Therefore, the conical electrode is recommended in CFRP-lightning damage testing.

Published: January 2021

Why layers II/III of entorhinal cortex (EC) deteriorate in advance of other regions during the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease is poorly understood. Failure of retrograde trophic support from synapses to cell bodies is a common cause of neuronal atrophy, and we accordingly tested for early-life deterioration in projections of rodent layer II EC neurons. Using electrophysiology and quantitative imaging, changes in EC terminals during young adulthood were evaluated in male rats and mice. Field excitatory postsynaptic potentials, input/output curves, and frequency following capacity by lateral perforant path (LPP) projections from lateral EC to dentate gyrus were unchanged from 3 to 8–10 months of age. In contrast, the unusual presynaptic form of long-term potentiation (LTP) expressed by the LPP was profoundly impaired by 8 months in rats and mice. This impairment was accompanied by a reduction in the spine to terminal endocannabinoid signaling needed for LPP-LTP induction and was offset by an agent that enhances signaling. There was a pronounced age-related increase in synaptophysin within LPP terminals, an effect suggestive of incipient pathology. Relatedly, presynaptic levels of TrkB—receptors mediating retrograde trophic signaling—were reduced in the LPP terminal field. LTP and TrkB content were also reduced in the medial perforant path of 8- to 10-month-old rats. As predicted, performance on an LPP-dependent episodic memory task declined by late adulthood. We propose that memory-related synaptic plasticity in EC projections is unusually sensitive to aging, which predisposes EC neurons to pathogenesis later in life.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTNeurons within human superficial entorhinal cortex are particularly vulnerable to effects of aging and Alzheimer's disease, although why this is the case is not understood. Here we report that perforant path projections from layer II entorhinal cortex to the dentate gyrus exhibit rapid aging in rodents, including reduced synaptic plasticity and abnormal protein content by 8–10 months of age. Moreover, there was a substantial decline in the performance of an episodic memory task that depends on entorhinal cortical projections at the same ages. Overall, the results suggest that the loss of plasticity and related trophic signaling predispose the entorhinal neurons to functional decline in relatively young adulthood.
Gemfibrozil Protects Dopaminergic Neurons in a Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease via PPARα-Dependent Astrocytic GDNF Pathway

Published: January 2021

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder in humans. Despite intense investigations, effective therapies are not yet available to halt the progression of PD. Gemfibrozil, a Food and Drug Administration-approved lipid-lowering drug, is known to decrease the risk of coronary heart disease by increasing the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and decreasing the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. This study underlines the importance of gemfibrozil in protecting dopaminergic neurons in an animal model of PD. Oral administration of the human equivalent dose of gemfibrozil protected tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and TH fibers in the striatum of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-insulted mice of both sexes. Accordingly, gemfibrozil also normalized striatal neurotransmitters and improved locomotor activities in MPTP-intoxicated mice. Gemfibrozil-mediated protection of the nigrostriatal and locomotor activities in WT but not PPARα−/−mice from MPTP intoxication suggests that gemfibrozil needs the involvement of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) in protecting dopaminergic neurons. While investigating further mechanisms, we found that gemfibrozil stimulated the transcription of glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) gene in astrocytes via PPARα and that gemfibrozil protected nigral neurons, normalized striatal fibers and neurotransmitters, and improved locomotor activities in MPTP-intoxicated Gfafcremice, but notGdnfΔastromice lacking GDNF in astrocytes. These findings highlight the importance of the PPARα-dependent astroglial GDNF pathway in gemfibrozil-mediated protection of dopaminergic neurons in an animal model of PD and suggest the possible therapeutic use of gemfibrozil in PD patients.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIncreasing the level of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in the brain is important for the protection of dopamine neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD). Although gene manipulation and GDNF protein infusion into the brain are available options, it seems from the therapeutic angle that the best option would be to stimulate/induce the production of GDNFin vivoin the brain of PD patients. Here, we delineate that gemfibrozil, a lipid-lowering drug, stimulates GDNF in astrocytes via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). Moreover, gemfibrozil protected nigral neurons, normalized striatal fibers and neurotransmitters, and improved locomotor activities from MPTP toxicity via the PPARα-dependent astroglial GDNF pathway. These studies highlight a new property of gemfibrozil and suggest its possible therapeutic use in PD patients.
Reactions of sciences to the Anthropocene

Published: January 2021

The Anthropocene is the new geological epoch, characterized by the accelerating global influence of humankind and the impending point of no return on environmental changes. In this article, we highlight reactions of scientists to the challenges of the Anthropocene from the perspectives of biomimetics and sustainability research. To answer novel questions in the Anthropocene context, scientists have established relevant approaches to collaborate at an interdisciplinary level and have entered into exchange with society in the sense of transdisciplinary activities. With regard to biomimetics, we introduce the interdisciplinary approaches and transdisciplinary contributions leading to the development of biomimetic products on the market. Regarding sustainability research, we focus on a prospective assessment of substances of very high concern and show how environmental, economic, social, and ethical issues as well as policy measures play a central role in chemicals risk management. In the final “practice bridge” section, we use examples to describe how biomimetics and sustainability research can meet and how biomimetic products can contribute to sustainable development in the Anthropocene.
Diagnostic and management strategies for pNETs in Von Hippel–Lindau: a systematic review

Published: January 2021

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) in Von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) disease have a relatively good prognosis. However, a subset of pNETs metastasize and significantly contribute to VHL-related mortality. Evidence-based guidelines are needed for timely detection, management and intervention of these tumors. However, the value of several diagnostic tools is controversial, and evidence-based management strategies are lacking. This systematic review aims to update current literature on diagnostic and management strategies of pNETs in VHL and proposes evidence-based recommendations. The databases of PubMed/Medline, Embase and Web of Science were systematically searched to identify relevant studies. Studies were screened independently and cross-checked by two authors to assess eligibility for inclusion. Eighty-four articles were eligible for full text reading, and thirteen were critically appraised using the modified Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies or modified Quality in Prognostic Studies tool. Six studies assessed the diagnostic value of imaging modalities, five focused on the optimal timing for surgical intervention, and one article studied the growth rate of pNETs. Quality of the available evidence was determined using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations tool. Studies recommended CT or MRI as the primary screening modalities for pNETs. For detection of metastases, 68Gallium-DOTATATE/TOC PET/CT is advised. For pNETs <2 cm a watch-and-wait approach is recommended, while for pNETs ≥2.5 cm surgical resection is advised. Due to limited data, no strong recommendations on surveillance could be proposed.
Evaluación del proceso de biotransformación de biosólidos procedentes de la planta de tratamiento de agua residual de Tunja – Boyacá, mediante compostaje con adición de larvas de escarabajos
Authors: Brigid Hiomara Pacheco García , Pedro Mauricio Acosta Castellanos
Published: January 2021

El tratamiento de aguas residuales, permite reducir los contaminantes que adquiere el agua al ser utilizada en diferentes procesos domésticos e industriales. Dentro de algunos de sus procesos se obtienen lodos conocidos como biosólidos, los cuales, por sus características representan un riesgo para la salud humana y biótica del entorno, pues contienen gran cantidad de microorganismos patógenos. El constante incremento en la población mundial genera a su vez un aumento en la producción de biosólidos, lo que implica encontrar alternativas adecuadas para su disposición final, puesto que, si éste subproducto es dispuesto directamente en el suelo sin tratamiento previo, puede transportar patógenos por efectos de la escorrentía ocasionando altos niveles de riesgo. El compostaje es una alternativa en el tratamiento de biosólidos puesto que le permite la estabilización de parámetros fisicoquímicos y microbiológicos, así mismo la adición de larvas de escarabajo coadyuva a la reducción de microorganismos presenten en el subproducto. El seguimiento al comportamiento de los parámetros en las etapas de biotransformación, permitirá determinar las condiciones óptimas para el proceso, obteniendo un material que pueda ser clasificado de acuerdo a los rangos mínimos establecidos por la Agencia de Protección Ambiental EPA, brindando la posibilidad de disponer adecuadamente dicho residuo

Two-Photon Exchange in Elastic Electron Scattering on Hadronic Systems
Authors: Borisyuk D. , Kobushkin A.
Published: January 2021

In the present review, we discuss different aspects of the two-photon exchange (TPE) physics in elastic ep scattering at high Q2, as well as at low Q2. The imaginary part of the TPE amplitude gives rise to beam and target single-spin asymmetries. Different theoretical approaches to the calculation of these observables are considered. The real part of the TPE amplitude influences the unpolarized cross-section and double-spin observables and is, most likely, responsible for the discrepancy between two methods of measurements of the proton form factors. We review different methods of calculations of the TPE amplitudes in the framework of the “hadron” and “quark-gluon” approaches. We discuss the dispersion approach suitable for low and intermediate Q2, which includes elastic and inelastic intermediate hadronic states, as well as the connection of TPE with the proton radius puzzle. The present situation with direct experimental searches for the TPE amplitude in the e+p/e−p charge asymmetry is also discussed, as well as attempts to extract the TPE amplitudes from existing experimental data obtained by the Rosenbluth and double polarization techniques. The TPE physics in other processes such as elastic мp, e-nucleus, and еп scattering is also reviewed.

Authors: Klysko Yu.V. , Syrotyuk S.V.
Published: January 2021

This work presents the ab initio study of transition-metal phthalocyanines within a PBE0 hybrid functional. The list of metal impurities includes manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc. All calculations of isolated molecules have been performed with the use of the projector augment-wave method. For iron phthalocyanine, we have performed four calculations with different values of the mixing parameter a (the value of the exact exchange) – 0, 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2. For all other molecules, the calculations have been performed for a = 1/4 and 1/3. The electronic structure parameters including the HOMO-LUMO energy gap, Fermi level, magnetization, and imaginary part of the dielectric function are presented and compared with available theoretical and experimental data. Manganese, iron, and cobalt phthalocyanines show a strong dependence of electronic properties on the value of the exact exchange interaction. In other molecules with nickel, copper, and zinc, this dependence is not significant.

Indonesia’s strategies are focus on improving food production using environmentally-friendly measures in its agricultural development. This research was designed in accordance with the national strategies on increasing the productivity of rice using efficient water while reducing methane emissions from rice fields. A low rice yield is obtained when the conventional anaerobic methods (flooded soil) are used. Additional to the water, sludge from palm oil factories was also applied. This research aimed to establish a proper concentration of sludge to increase the productivity of rice sown in aerobic condition with the water level at 5 cm below soil surface. The study was conducted by making experiments with 5 levels. Waste sludge from palm oil factories was applied on the soils tested with concentrations of 0 t ha-1, 10 t ha-1, 15 t ha-1, 20 t ha-1 and 25 t ha-1. Height of the plant, total number of tillers, number of productive tillers, number of filled grains, percentage of filled grains, weight of 1000 grains and weight of filled grain per plot were studied. Application of 25 t ha-1 organic sludge showed a high level of productivity increasing the total number of tillers, the number of productive tillers and weight of filled grain per plot.
Influence of burning and weed control on the soil fertility and vegetation cover of Brazilian Amazon pastures
Authors: Lisbôa Fabrício Marinho
Published: January 2021

In pastures it is common to use fire to control weeds, justified by the increase in soil fertility that ashes can generate. However, the benefits of this process is short-lived, and also increase the soil exposure. The permanence of weeds can contribute to the vegetation cover in areas of deficient pastures. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of prescribed burning and mowing on vegetation cover of Urochloa brizantha (U. brizantha) pastures and soil surface fertility in pastures located in the Brazilian Amazon. The study was conducted in Itupiranga, Pará state, Brazilian Amazon. Five pastures of U. brizantha cv. Marandu and a forest area were evaluated. The soil was a Ferralsol. Vegetation cover was estimated using a quadrat. Four composite soil samples were taken in each area, collected from 0–0.05 m depth. The percentage of vegetal cover of U. brizantha, weeds and bare soil was measured and fertility in soil samples (pH, Al3+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+, P, and H+Al) were determined. Three groups were identified in the evaluated pasture plots. Group I had the highest average percentage of bare soil (33.5%) and was associated with H+Al and P values. Group II had the highest average of U. brizantha cover (90%) and was associated with Ca2++Mg2+ and K+. Group III had the highest average of weed cover (53.4%) and was associated with Al3+. The higher percentage of U. brizantha in Group II was favored by the burning later. This group presented better levels of K+, Mg2+ and sum of bases. The management adopting the least use of fire on the pastures, with longer time for the regeneration of forage, combined with the mechanical control of weeds, can be the best alternative for maintaining the soil cover and bringing benefits for quality surface layer of the soil.

Published: January 2021

Phytophthora infestans is the most limiting biotic problem of potato crop in Colombia and the world. It is a pathogen that threatens the sustainability of the crop. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate work collections of potato to identify enotypes that show disease tolerance. The objective of this work was to  select genotypes of Solanum tuberosum group Andigena by their tolerance to P. infestans. This study  was carried out under conditions of Pasto, in the South of Colombia at 2,820 masl. A total of 76 introductions of guata potatoes were evaluated under natural inoculum, including Capiro as a susceptible control, Betina as moderately tolerant and Pastusa Suprema as highly tolerant. The number of stems and stolons per  plant was registered. Disease severity  assessments and traits related to the area under the disease progress curve were made. At harvest stage, yield values per plant and its components were recorded. Principal Component and Classification analyses discriminated tolerant introductions of susceptible. Significant positive correlations were found between the yield with the number of stolons, tubers per plant and tuber weight, and negative correlations with everity and area under the relative disease progress curve. The selected introductions showed high yield per plant and mostly minor severities to the population, indicating an agronomic potential that must be evaluated in different environments to determine its adaptability and stability. UdenarStGua53, UdenarStGua61, UdenarStGua68, UdenarStGua73, UdenarStGua75, UdenarStGua77 y UdenarStGua78, coming from the International Potato Center (CIP) are confirmed as a source of tolerance to P. infestans and can be considered as parental within species improvement programs.
Yield and quality of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain in relation to nitrogen fertilization
Authors: Tsvey Yaroslav , Ivanina Roman , Ivanina Vadym , Senchuk Svitlana
Published: January 2021

Winter wheat is commonly cultivated in Ukraine. This crop has nutritional requirements that have been affected due to the climate changes that in the recent years the country has been suffered. In the spring season, the plant is found in growing stage, which requires a suitable nitrogen nutrition and it must be supplied due to the deficit of this element during the vegetative development. Within this framework, this study aimed to establish the optimal nitrogen rate for winter wheat that was applied in different configurations on leached black soil, and to determine the effectiveness of nitrogen application to the frozen soil surface in early spring as a basis for these fertilizations. The experiment was conducted at the Bila Tserkva ResearchSelection Station (Ukraine) during 2017–2019. The soil of this place corresponds to a leached loamy black soil (Mollisol) with content of organic matter between 3.6-3.8%, mobile phosphorus (P2O5) 156-166 mg kg-1, potassium (K2O) 64-77 mg kg-1, and pHKCl 5.8–6.3. A randomized experimental design with four nitrogen rates (0, 60, 80, 110 kg ha-1) with four replications as factorial arrangement was used. The results indicated that winter wheat yield was significantly affected by all nitrogen fertilizer rates (P<0.05). The highest average grain yield was obtained with 110 kg ha-1 nitrogen rate that combined application nitrogen to the frozen soil surface and the foliar feeding with 6.90 t ha-1. In years of regular precipitation during the growing season (2018-2019), nitrogen fertilizers had a more pronounced effect on winter wheat yield than in a year of precipitation deficiency (2017). A significant increase in grain protein content was obtained in variants where foliar feeding of winter wheat with urea solution was a part of fertilization strategy; it was attributed to nitrogen rates of 80 and 110 kg ha-1. The increase in protein content of the grain was less dependent on the weather conditions and was stable through the years of experiment.
Effect of climate change on burley tobacco crop calendars

Published: January 2021

In Colombia, tobacco cultivation is an important generator of employment and income for farmers; however it faces different problems as low crop yield compared to other countries; specifically, in the north of the country, where the climatic conditions are less favorable and the productivity is lower than other areas of the country due to low mechanization. In order to improve the tobacco yield per hectare in the municipality of Ovejas, this research aimed to determine the water requirements of burley tobacco cultivation under conditions of climate variability to obtain optimal information for crop calendars. Water requirements of burley tobacco were determined using the crop water requirement equation. This calculation ethod was programmed in Python to automate the generation of maps, developing a tool that allowed a detailed analysis per unit area per week. Based on the results obtained, weeks 17 and 18 of the year (last week of April and first week of May, respectively) are proposed as optimal planting times, since the cycles of crops planted in this period showed precipitation surplus in the initial phase of cultivation, which is a critical phase for their development. Climate change simulation showed that crops must be continuously monitored in order to adapt to new weather conditions.

Mortiño (Vaccinium floribundum) is a wild Andean berry, with a high content of bioactive compounds, especially anthocyanins, with protective effects against various diseases due to their antioxidant capacity. The aim of this study was to determine the best anthocyanin extraction conditions without affecting the mortiño antioxidant capacity. A completely randomized design with factorial arrangement 23 was applied in the extraction (solvent: ethanol and methanol; concentration: 20 and 60%; temperature: 30 and 60 °C). The anthocyanin content showed that the best extraction conditions were 20 and 60% hydroethanolic solution at 60 °C (P<0.05). For the antioxidant capacity, the treatments were analyzed in a factorial arrangement 22: ethanol and methanol 20%; 30 and 60 °C. The highest antioxidant capacity was found at 20% ethanol and 60 °C (19,653.3±256.62 µmol TE 100 g-1 FW (fresh weight)) by the FRAP method (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) (P<0.05), and with the ABTS methodology, methanol and ethanol (20%), at 60 °C (8458.3±127.45 and 8,258.0±325.05 µmol TE 100 g-1 FW, respectively) (P<0.05). Extraction at 60 °C did not affect the antioxidant properties of anthocyanins. A high correlation was found between both methodologies by Pearson’s Correlation (PC=0.898). In addition, the antioxidant capacity measured by the two methods was highly related to the anthocyanin content of the extracts (PC=0.973 and 0.952, respectively). Other berry species have been extensively investigated for their antioxidant compounds, but there is limited information about the optimization of anthocyanin extraction from mortiño and its high antioxidant capacity important for future industrial applications. As a result, ethanol at 20 and 60%, 60 °C for  h are the best conditions to extract and quantify the anthocyanins of the mortiño fruit.
Effect of supplemental irrigation on bread wheat genotypes yield under Mediterranean semi-arid conditions of north-eastern Algeria
Authors: Aissaoui Mohamed Ridha , Fenni Mohamed
Published: January 2021

Different levels of supplemental irrigation regimes on four wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes were evaluated, two of which were introduced into Sétif region by ACSAD institution, during the growing season 2013-2014, in order to assess the effect of deficit irrigation pattern on yield traits performance and to determine most suitable genotype for local semi-arid conditions. On the basis of the experimentation data, it was found that supplemental irrigation improved the investigated genotypes yield, which ranged from 220.03 g m-2 for variety El-wifak in rainfed conditions to 368.3 g m-2 for variety Djanet (ACSAD899) with an increase of about 67%; just by applying two irrigations, the first at the jointing stage and the second at mid-flowering stage. This increase was related to the improvement of most agronomic traits that correlated significantly and positively with grain yield, in response to supplemental irrigation application. These findings indicated that Djanet (ACSAD899) was a genotype successfully introduced under irrigated conditions, while Hidhab (HD1220) with an average grain yield of 298.3 g m-2, proved to be more stable and well adapted to the locally rainfed conditions.

Giftschränke in Bibliotheken
Authors: Verch Ulrike
Published: January 2021

Nicht alle Werke in einer Bibliothek sind für die Öffentlichkeit allgemein zugänglich. Es gibt diverse Gründe, Nutzungseinschränkungen für bestimmte Medien zu erlassen. Doch Bücher werden in Bibliotheken nicht nur zu ihrem eigenen Schutz aus Gründen der Bestandserhaltung weggeschlossen, sondern auch, um ihre Inhalte bewusst nicht zu verbreiten. Seit Erfindung des Buchdruckes wurde Literatur in Deutschland in verschiedenen Epochen und von unterschiedlichen Machthabenden regelmäßig in nicht unerheblichem Umfang aus politischen, religiösen oder moralischen Gründen zensiert oder indiziert. Die verbotenen Werke wurden von Bibliotheken im Laufe der Jahrhunderte aber dennoch gesammelt und bewahrt, allerdings gut verschlossen in separierten Bereichen, zu denen nur wenige Nutzer*innen Zugang hatten.
Der Beitrag führt in das Thema der Sekretierung von Bibliotheksbeständen ein, gibt einen historischen Überblick über Bücherverbote in Deutschland, mit dem Fokus auf dem 20. Jahrhundert, und stellt die aktuelle Rechtslage zu Verbreitungsverboten von Medieninhalten dar.

Authors: Nikolaeva Ekaterina A. , Volgina Svetlana Ya. , Khaliullina Chulpan D. , Bochenkov Sergey V. , Danceva Maria A.
Published: January 2021

Background. Defects in pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC), involved in the glycolysis products integration into the cells' energy metabolism, are one of the reasons of mitochondrial pathology development. The diagnosis of this condition can be pretty complicated also due to the lack of description of such patients with encephalomyopathy associated with PDC deficiency in Russian population. Clinical Cases Description. We have performed the analysis of clinical manifestations polymorphism of progressive mitochondrial encephalomyopathy caused by pathogenic variants in nuclear X linked gene, PDHA1 (encodes alpha subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase), in 8 boys aged from 1 to 8 years. The adverse perinatal period was mentioned in all cases. The major features of symptom complex by the time of hospital examination were psychomotor retardation, ataxy, myopathic manifestations. Dystonic attacks were observed in 2 sibs. All patients had changes on brain magnetic resonance imaging: in basal ganglia in 6 children and ventriculomegaly in 2 children. All children had lactic acidosis. Clinical examination has shown that 4 patients had severe damage of nervous system, other 4 patients had moderate damage. Missense mutations in the PDHA1 gene were revealed in 6 children, insertions and duplications including 6 and 16 base pairs — in 2 children. The moderate positive dynamics was noticed as a result of complex treatment of children: stabilization of the overall condition, no metabolic crises, decrease in frequency of dystonic attacks. Conclusion. The clinical polymorphism of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy associated with PDC deficiency is described. The differences in manifestations of severe and moderate forms of disease are shown. The presented description may be useful for medico-genetic counseling and providing medico-genetic care for families.
Rape in Finnish criminal law and process - A discussion on, and beyond, consent
Authors: Alaattinoğlu Daniela , Kainulainen Heini , Niemi Johanna
Published: January 2021

Chapter 20 of the Finnish Criminal Code, which regulates sexual offences, is currently undergoing structural changes. Focusing on the section of rape, this article investigates the amendments proposed by the Ministry of Justice in 2020 in the light of the current Finnish legislation, legal practice, supranational normative developments and societal change. Lessons are drawn from a recent research project about the attrition of sexual violence in the Finnish criminal process by a research team at the University of Turku. The article welcomes the increased emphasis on voluntariness, contextuality, power imbalances and communication in the suggested draft law. It also criticises some weaknesses of the draft legislation. Conclusively, it proposes further action to improve legal clarity and strengthen the enforcement of a new legal conceptualisation of sexual violence.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze YouTube videos with information about COVID-19 in Brazilian sign language. Methods: a cross-sectional study conducted with 402 videos from the YouTube sharing platform. Chi-square, Fisher’s exact, Mann-Whitney and Spearman’s correlation tests were used. Results: the videos mainly covered COVID-19 prevention (20.6%). There was a positive correlation between video length and number of views (p<0.001). The length of more than 20 minutes was associated with narration only in BSL (p=0.37) and in BSL with audio (p<0.001), while videos with less than 20 minutes were associated with simultaneous narration in BSL, audio and subtitles. Those with narration only in BSL had a similar number of views to those narrated with subtitles and/or audio (p=0.998). Conclusion: the videos were mostly short and included COVID-19 prevention. The longer the video, the greater the number of views. Regardless the presentation of narrations, the videos had a similar number of views.
