Authors: Wrana Jan , Jarocka Aleksandra
Published: December 2020

The article concerns a question of revitalising the “Sobiescy” Palace Complex in Lublin as well as various possibilities of revalorising it. The authors demonstrate problems of and defects in the technical condition of the building while referring to expert opinions on specific elements of the facilities in question. In order to exemplify chances resulting from prospective modernisation of the discussed complex the authors present already revitalised buildings in Poland. With the purpose of showing considerable potential of the edifice the authors set forth a developed, but unfortunately not implemented project of revitalising the Palace Complex. Moreover, the authors illustrate a new idea for revitalising the facilities in question. The last paragraphs of the article present an outline of creating a Regional Centre of Identity and Cultural Dialogue that would be a chance for popularizing architecture and developing not only Lublin Region but also creativity of its citizens. Moreover, adapting the complex would also provide opportunities for recalling multiculturalism of the region and identity resulting from this feature.

“New” identity of a place in the postindustrial Łódź
Authors: Wrana Jan
Published: December 2020

Łódź owes its development in the XIX century and the fall in the XX century to great industry. The period of transformations in the political system, after the year 1989, was the time of daring attempts to revitalize large buildings providing the chance for reviving the life of the postindustrial city. Architects, the creators of changes in these very buildings, have intuitively preserved the modern context and the observance of the heritage assigned to the place, creating, at the same time, “new” identity of the places.

A REPORT ON INFESTATION OF ROOT GRUBS
Authors: R Shantha A
Published: December 2020

Root grubs, also known as “white grubs'' are pests that belong to the family of Scarabaeidae of order Coleoptera. They are considered as “National pests'' in India. Out of 1500 species recorded in India, 40 species are reported to be serious pests on economically important agricultural and horticultural crops in different parts of the country. These 40 species can be widely classified under 3 sub-families Melolonthinae, Rutelinae and Dynastinae. Most of the major root grubs belong to genus Holotrichia. Common plants that are attacked by root grubs include areca nut, ground nut, soya bean, corn and sugarcane. This abstract is based on the survey conducted on areca nut fields in places of Sringeri and Sagara which are in the districts of Chikkamagaluru and Shivamogga respectively. The report is focused on infestation of root grub on areca nut, one of the most common plants grown in the Southern part of India.
COVID-19: A STUDY OF CHALLENGES FACED BY DAILY WAGE WORKERS AND MIGRANTS IN INDIA.
Authors: H Aparna
Published: December 2020

The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the daily wage workers and migrants has been largely unsettling and it has pushed our economy to recession. Wages have an important role in maintaining the livelihood and the well-being of the work force. According to Jules Backman, a fluctuation in wage rates stands as a great concern to everyone in the economy. To a worker, wage is an important source of livelihood, to a businessman wage symbolizes cost and in the eyes of the government, wage is represented as potential taxes. Therefore, any alterations in the worker’s livelihood can cause an adverse impression on the economy. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has drained the livelihoods of millions of daily wage workers and migrants and their socio-economic conditions have also been shaken. This study will elucidate the disputes confronted by the daily wage workers and migrants. Two surveys have been conducted for this study. Study 1: A survey was taken among 130 daily wage workers to understand the Problems encountered by them. Study 2: To highlight the difficulties faced by the migrants, a survey was taken among 100 migrants. The research work is based on primary source of data collected by interviewing the daily wage and migrant workers of Coimbatore and Tirupur districts of Tamil Nadu.

Published: December 2020

In the presence of uncertainty, a closed-loop system must be able to maintain its stability and performance. Uncertainty can be categorized into two meanings, disturbance from external systems and perturbation in a dynamical system. In this paper, we will present a robust control design by considering a disturbance from external factors, and analyze its robustness using Structured Singular Value respect to parametric uncertainty and external disturbance. Beside that, every control system has their own region to operate, outside that region a performance degradation will occur, and led into unstability. One factor to that catastrophic is a fault in instrument reading, to anticipate it, this paper also implement Simplified Instrument Fault Detection method to detect a sensor fault in order to give an alarm for further action.
Energy-Efficient 3D Deployment of Aerial Access Points in a UAV Communication System
Authors: Babu Nithin , Papadias Constantinos B. , Popovski Petar
Published: December 2020

In this letter, we propose an energy-efficient 3-
dimensional placement of multiple aerial access points (AAPs),
in the desired area, acting as flying base stations for uplink
communication from a set of ground user equipment (UE).
The globally optimal energy-efficient vertical position of AAPs
is derived analytically by considering the inter-cell interference
and AAP energy consumption. The horizontal position of AAPs,
which maximize the packing density of the AAP coverage
area, are determined using a novel regular polygon-based AAP
placement algorithm. We also determine an accurate upper
bound on the maximum number of AAPs that could be
deployed in a given circular area. The effect of the AAP energy
consumption on the optimal placement and the analytic findings
are verified via numerical simulations

Contextualism and Testimony
Authors: De Brasi Leandro
Published: December 2020

It has recently been argued that Subject-Sensitive Invariantism conflicts with an attractive testimonial principle of transmission. One might think, given the differences between Subject-Sensitive Invariantism and Contextualism, the latter would not be susceptible to related objections. I argue however that some testimonial principles with much intuitive appeal give us a related though different reason to reject Contextualism. In short, while some argue that Subject-Sensitive Invariantism seems to sometimes make testimonial knowledge too easy to come by, I argue that Contextualism seems to often make testimonial knowledge too hard to come by. Contextualism then does not enjoy an advantage over Subject-Sensitive Invariantism when it comes to capturing the transmissive role of knowledge.

Peer Review Round 2 of “Alcohol Cues and Their Effects on Sexually Aggressive Thoughts”
Authors: Ruel Alexa , Ullman Jeremy
Published: December 2020

Alcohol and its effects on aggression have been the subject of many discussions and research papers. Despite this fact, there is still a debate surrounding what it is exactly about alcohol that causes aggression. The current study sought to replicate the past finding by Bartholow and Heinz (2006) that alcohol cues without consumption increase the accessibility of aggressive thoughts, which can then influence aggressive behaviors. In the present study, participants had to complete a lexical decision task that was set up to assess whether aggressive words were detected faster in the presence of alcohol-related pictures compared to neutral pictures. The results of this study did not replicate the expected finding as only a main effect of word type was found in which participants detected neutral words faster than aggressive words. Furthermore, the study aimed to assess the role of gender stereotype acceptance levels in this association, but due to faulty design considerations, such analyses were not possible. The results are discussed in terms of the limitations of the study, and propositions for future directions are addressed.

Published: December 2020

Information on sponges from reefs of northern of Veracruz has increased, however coral formationsstill exist for which there are no faunal lists. For this reason, this report provides the first inventory of sponges for the Enmedio reef. Sampling was completed during the November 2014-October 2015 period; five sampling sites were established in the leeward, flatland and windward area for recording species along belt transects of 50 m x2 m. The distribution of species of sponges was determined by estimating the relative frequency in each zone; to determine similarities and significant differences multivariate techniques were applied, such as similarity percentage analysis (SIMPER), analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) and non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS). We recorded 32 species of sponges belonging to the Class Desmospongiae; the Order Haploscerida had the most species diversity. The geographic range distribution of of Spirastrella aff. Mollis is extended to the southwest Gulf of Mexico. Species of wide distribution on the reef were Amphimedon compressa, Amphimedon viridis, Scopalinaruetzleri, Aplysina muryciana, Cribrochalina dura and Iotrochota birotulata, which accumulated 50.54% of the relative frequency. Leeward was the reef area with the highest species richness with 25 species and the flatland gathered the lowest species richness with nine. These differences were statistically significant. The composition  and distribution of the sponges are heterogeneous on the reef. The leeward area being a deep zone, protected from swell, was the most favorable habitat for the surveyed sponges.
Sponges and cnidarians (Hydrozoa and Anthozoa) from Oro Verde reef; benthic coverage and faunal affinity with the reef systems of Veracruz, Mexico.
Authors: DE LA CRUZ FRANCISCO VICENCIO , Bandala-Pérez íngel Eduardo
Published: December 2020

Sampling was conducted in twelve geographical points of the Oro Verde reef during the June-August 2015 period, in-order-to record species of sponges, hydrocorals and anthozoans, and to estimate the coverage of algae, sponges, corals, sea fans and abiotic components (e.g., sand and pavement) using 50 m long photo transects. We explored the northern, southern, central, eastern and western section of the reef. Analysis of non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) was performed to explain similarities of the sampling units based on the information obtained. In addition, the  composition of sponges and coral reefs from Oro Verde reef was compared with the other reef systems of Veracruz to determine affinities using the NMDS method. The similarity test ANOSIMwas used to explain significant differences among dissimilar groups. A total of 35 species of Phylum Porifera and 29 species of Phylum Cnidaria were recorded. The most common species in the reef were the sponges Callyspongia armigera, Niphates erecta, and Amphimedon compressa, and the corals Montastraea cavernosa, Porites astreoides, Siderastrea siderea, Colpophyllia natans. Filamentous and frondose algae were the most abundant in coverage (49.4 ± 7.7% and 20 ± 9.7%, respectively), compared to reef corals that showed low coverage (9.5 ± 6.1%), which consisted mainly of M. cavernosa, C. natans and S. siderea. The faunal richness and the benthic coverage are distributed in a homogeneous way in the reef as sampling sites revealed similarities in these community attributes. The composition of sponges from Oro Verde reef presented higher affinity with the adjacent reefs and with the submerged reefs of southern of Veracruz. However, Oro Verde reef is more similar with neighboring reefs in species richness of corals. Discrepancies with the other reefs are attributed to the lack of complete inventories (e. g., Tuxpan) and / or by presenting species with limited distribution.

They show efficient emission in solution and in the aggregated state and their environment responsiveness is based on having variable substituents at the para-position of the two phenyl moieties. The excited state properties were fully investigated in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solutions and in THF/H2O mixtures. The size of the aggregates in aqueous media were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy studies revealed that all the molecules show intense fluorescence both in solution and in the aggregated state. In THF solutions, a blue emission was observed for the unsubstituted (H), methyl- (Me) and tert-butyl- (t-Bu) substituted γ-diphenylnaphthalonitriles, which can be attributed to a weak π-donor capability of these groups. On the other hand, the methoxy- (OMe), methylsulfanyl- (SMe) and dimethylamino- (NMe2) substituted compounds exhibit a progressive red-shift in emission compared to H, Me and t-Bu due to a growing π-electron donating capability. Interestingly, upon aggregation in water-containing media, H, Me and t-Bu show a slight red-shift of the emission and a blue-shift is observed for OMe, SMe and NMe2. The crystal structure of Me allowed a detailed discussion of the structure–property relationship. Clearly, N-containing substituents such as NMe2 possess more electron-donating ability than the S-based moieties such as SMe. Moreover, it was found that NMe2 showed higher luminescence quantum yields (ΦF) in comparison to SMe, indicating that N-substituted groups could enhance the fluorescence intensity. Therefore, the π-donor nature of the substituents on the phenyl ring constitutes the main parameter that influences the photophysical properties, such as excited state lifetimes and photoluminescence quantum yields. Hence, a series of highly luminescent materials from deep blue to red emission depending on substitution and environment is reported with potential applications in sensing, bioimaging and optoelectronics.

La dependencia emocional es considerada como una necesidad de afecto de una persona externa para sentirse valorado, llegando en ocasiones a ser un patrón desadaptativo. Por otro lado, también está vinculado a la violencia durante la relación de pareja. Objetivo. Revisar la literatura descriptiva sobre la dependencia emocional con la violencia física, violencia psicológica, sexual y la psicodinámica de las parejas a través de la revisión descriptiva de  la literatura. Método. Se trató de un estudio cualitativo de revisión descriptiva de la literatura, se hizo la búsqueda en tres bases de datos electrónicos, ScienceDirect, SciELO, Directory of Open Access Journals, se trabajó con un total de 15 artículos científicos originales. Resultados. La literatura indica que existe significancia entre las personas de dependencia emocional hacia su pareja con la presencia de violencia física, violencia psicológica o sexual dentro de una relación, siendo que la persona afectada lo toma como cotidiano, minimizando los maltratos sufridos  y justificándose como parte de un comportamiento “normal” de la pareja. También los autores concluyeron que,dentro de una relación de pareja, la dependencia emocional presenta mayor incidencia con la violencia psicológica con maltratos verbales que no fueron considerados como un agravio y, en muchas ocasiones, este tipo de violencia no es considerada como tal. Conclusiones. Los estudios concuerdan que existe una relación significativa entre la dependencia emocional y la violencia; así también, se aprecia que la dependencia emocional es más predominante en las mujeres que en los hombres, y entre los tipos de violencia, la violencia psicológica es una de las más ejercidas.

BACKGROUND: Differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC) preserve expression of thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR).
AIM: The aim of our study was to evaluate the expression of mRNA-TSHR in peripheral blood of DTC patients, then to correlate the expression with clinical features: Serum thyroglobulin (sTg) value, initial staging and findings from the whole body scan (WBS), neck ultrasound (US), and total received dose of radioiodine therapy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty patients were divided into three groups according to the treatment response: Patients with incomplete structural response (TCs), incomplete biochemical response (TCb), and excellent responders (TCr). Total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood and used for two-step reverse transcriptase-PCR with appropriate primers. Relative quantification using the ΔCt and 2–ΔΔCt and method was applied. sTg levels were evaluated with chemiluminescent assay. The statistical analysis was performed with Spearman Rank Order Correlation.
RESULTS: We found that TCs patients expressed mRNA-TSHR by a 5.37-fold higher level than TCr patients, TCb patients expressed TSHR by an 8.88-fold higher level than TCr patients. A significant negative correlation was detected between sTg and ΔCt (CtTSHR - CtGAPDH) value (R = −0.475; p < 0.05), and between WBS/US findings and ΔCt (R= −0.321; p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Our data revealed higher expression of mRNA-TSHR in peripheral blood of TCs and TCb compared to TCr patients and analysis revealed a significant correlation between mRNA-TSHR and sTg and US/WBS findings. Further studies with larger number of subjects and absolute quantification are needed for understanding the real meaning of mRNA-TSHR as a biomarker in DTC.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Mask wearing in the COVID-19 pandemic was previously hypothesized as a protective symbol that decreases compliance with other measures such as face touching and social distancing. However, the face mask is now central to the prevention of viral spread.
AIM: In this paper, we looked at the shift of guidelines regarding mask use and the mask-wearing adherence habits of the Kittitian population at the onset of the pandemic.
METHODS: In this study, we observed 468 individuals, each for 5 min, for the different types of face masks used and their adherence to the Center for Disease Control guidelines for the use of this personal protective equipment. We did the observation at three different locations at Basseterre, St. Kitts, from the 21st to April 30, 2020.
RESULTS: We noted that 49.31% had medical-grade masks (N95 and surgical), 36.11% had improvised masks, and 14.74% had no facial covering. About 34% of persons with masks were not correctly covering their nose or mouth and 16.45% were touching their face with their hands. Wearing any face-covering appears to lead to more face touching than no covering at 18.25% versus 5.8%. The highest proportion of errors was seen in wearers of surgical masks, leaving the mouth/ nose uncovered at 12.08% of all errors.
CONCLUSION: We recommend for public education and political efforts to increase adherence to mask use in conjunction with other protective measures such as social distancing and hand washing for curbing the COVID-19 transmission in St. Kitts and Nevis.

Background/Aims: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not clear. This study was performed to investigate the effect of abnormal left ventricular geometry on clinical outcomes in Korean patients with AMI.Methods: A total of 852 consecutive patients with AMI were divided into two groups: normal left ventricular geometry (n = 470; 389 males) and LVH (n = 382; 214 males) groups. Major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) were defined as cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, and rehospitalization.Results: During the clinical follow-up period of 21 ± 7.8 months, MACEs developed in 173 patients (20.0%), and the rate was higher in the LVH than normal left ventricular geometry groups (25.5% vs. 16.0%, respectively, p = 0.001). According to Kaplan-Meier survival curves, the MACE-free survival rate was significantly lower in the LVH group than in the left ventricular geometry group (p = 0.008). The rates of MACEs and all-cause mortality differed among the AMI with concentric remodeling, concentric hypertrophy, and eccentric hypertrophy subgroups (11.2% vs. 15.5% vs. 22.1%, respectively, p = 0.046). Eccentric hypertrophy was a predictive factor of MACE according to Cox proportional hazards analysis (hazard ratio 1.804, confidence interval 1.034-3.148, p = 0.038).Conclusions: LVH is a predictor of poor outcomes in patients with AMI, and eccentric hypertrophy is associated with a worse prognosis compared with concentric remodeling and concentric hypertrophy. Therefore, Korean patients with AMI and LVH, especially eccentric hypertrophy, require more careful observation and intensive treatment.
