The goal of this study was to investigate the serological titers of circulating antibodies against human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 (anti-HPV16) prior to the detection of an incident HPV16 or HPV31 infection amongst vaccinated participants. Patients were selected from a prospective post-HPV vaccine longitudinal cohort at Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center in Manhattan, NY. We performed a nested case–control study of 43 cases with incident detection of cervical HPV16 (n = 26) or HPV31 (n = 17) DNA who had completed the full set of immunizations of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine (4vHPV). Two control individuals whom had received three doses of the vaccine (HPV16/31-negative) were selected per case, matched on age at the first dose of vaccination and follow-up time in the study: a random control, and a high-risk control that was in the upper quartile of a sexual risk behavior score. We conducted an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies specific to anti-HPV16 virus-like particles (VLPs). The results suggest that the average log antibody titers were higher among high-risk controls than the HPV16/31 incident cases and the randomly selected controls. We show a prospective association between anti-HPV16 VLP titers and the acquisition of an HPV16/31 incident infection post-receiving three doses of 4vHPV vaccine.

Published: August 2021

An outbreak was described among the guests of a Long-Term Care Facility in the North of Italy. Among 23 guests, 20 of whom were fully vaccinated with BNT162b2 vaccine, the outbreak led to a final count of 11 positive guests, 9 of whom were vaccinated, and 4 positive healthcare workers, of whom only 1 was vaccinated. Eight of the positive guests (six vaccinated and two unvaccinated) had symptoms that in five cases (three vaccinated and two unvaccinated) led to death. The risk of infection and the risk of death appeared not to be correlated with the health status neither with the serological titer, but only with age.

Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) suffer life-threatening transient aplastic crisis (TAC) when infected with parvovirus B19. In utero, infection of healthy fetuses may result in anemia, hydrops, and death. Unfortunately, although promising vaccine candidates exist, no product has yet been licensed. One barrier to vaccine development has been the lack of a cost-effective, standardized parvovirus B19 neutralization assay. To fill this void, we evaluated the unique region of VP1 (VP1u), which contains prominent targets of neutralizing antibodies. We discovered an antigenic cross-reactivity between VP1 and VP2 that, at first, thwarted the development of a surrogate neutralization assay. We overcame the cross-reactivity by designing a mutated VP1u (VP1uAT) fragment. A new VP1uAT ELISA yielded results well correlated with neutralization (Spearman’s correlation coefficient = 0.581; p = 0.001), superior to results from a standard clinical diagnostic ELISA or an ELISA with virus-like particles. Virus-specific antibodies from children with TAC, measured by the VP1uAT and neutralization assays, but not other assays, gradually increased from days 0 to 120 post-hospitalization. We propose that this novel and technically simple VP1uAT ELISA might now serve as a surrogate for the neutralization assay to support rapid development of a parvovirus B19 vaccine.

During the SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic, several vaccines, including mRNA and adenovirus vector approaches, have received emergency or full approval. However, supply chain logistics have hampered global vaccine delivery, which is impacting mass vaccination strategies. Recent studies have identified different strategies for vaccine dose administration so that supply constraints issues are diminished. These include increasing the time between consecutive doses in a two-dose vaccine regimen and reducing the dosage of the second dose. We consider both of these strategies in a mathematical modeling study of a non-replicating viral vector adenovirus vaccine in this work. We investigate the impact of different prime-boost strategies by quantifying their effects on immunological outcomes based on simple system of ordinary differential equations. The boost dose is administered either at a standard dose (SD) of 1000 or at a low dose (LD) of 500 or 250 vaccine particles. Results show dose-dependent immune response activity. Our model predictions show that by stretching the prime-boost interval to 18 or 20, in an SD/SD or SD/LD regimen, the minimum promoted antibody (Nab) response will be comparable with the neutralizing antibody level measured in COVID-19 recovered patients. Results also show that the minimum stimulated antibody in SD/SD regimen is identical with the high level observed in clinical trial data. We conclude that an SD/LD regimen may provide protective capacity, which will allow for conservation of vaccine doses.

High vaccination coverage among healthcare workers (HCWs) is crucial for managing the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim was to determine the demand for vaccination among all employees (n = 4553) of a tertiary care hospital after several weeks of the vaccine’s availability, and to analyze motives for acceptance and reasons for hesitancy through an anonymous online questionnaire. Upon the completion of data collection, the hospital’s vaccination coverage was at 69.8%. A total of 3550 completed questionnaires were obtained (2657 from vaccinated, 893 from unvaccinated employees). Significant predictors of vaccine acceptance were: age (odds ratio (OR) 1.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01–1.02), sex (OR (females) 0.58, 95% CI 0.45–0.75), job type (OR (non-physician HCWs) 0.54, 95% CI 0.41–0.72; OR (non-HCWs) 0.51, 95% CI 0.37–0.71), fear of COVID-19 (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.34–1.46), history of COVID-19 (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.34–0.49) and of influenza vaccination (OR 2.74, 95% CI 2.12–3.57). The most frequent motive for acceptance was the effort to protect family members (84%), while concerns about vaccine safety and side effects (49.4%), followed by distrust in the vaccine’s efficacy (41.1%) were the top reasons for hesitancy. To increase vaccination coverage among HCWs, it is necessary to raise awareness of vaccine safety and efficacy.
A Survey of Path Planning Algorithms for Mobile Robots

Published: August 2021

Path planning algorithms are used by mobile robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, and autonomous cars in order to identify safe, efficient, collision-free, and least-cost travel paths from an origin to a destination. Choosing an appropriate path planning algorithm helps to ensure safe and effective point-to-point navigation, and the optimal algorithm depends on the robot geometry as well as the computing constraints, including static/holonomic and dynamic/non-holonomically-constrained systems, and requires a comprehensive understanding of contemporary solutions. The goal of this paper is to help novice practitioners gain an awareness of the classes of path planning algorithms used today and to understand their potential use cases—particularly within automated or unmanned systems. To that end, we provide broad, rather than deep, coverage of key and foundational algorithms, with popular algorithms and variants considered in the context of different robotic systems. The definitions, summaries, and comparisons are relevant to novice robotics engineers and embedded system developers seeking a primer of available algorithms.
Thermal Runaway and Fire Suppression Applications for Different Types of Lithium Ion Batteries
Authors: Un Cagri , Aydın Kadir
Published: August 2021

With the improvement of lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology, safety is becoming increasingly urgent topic for battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Short circuits, overcharging, high temperatures and overheating can cause thermal runaway reactions and the release of the flammable electrolyte which makes fire suppression very difficult. This study focuses on the mechanism of thermal runaway and fire suppression applications of LIBs. In order to understand this, 10 experiments were carried out. The experiments were divided into as Exp. A and Exp. B. A manual water suppression system was used in Exp. A and an automatic boron-based suppression system (AUT-BOR) was used in Exp. B. LIBs were heated in a controlled manner with a heat source and the effects of thermal runaway and fire suppression were observed. In Exp. A, a large amount of water was required to extinguish the LIB fires. The holes and slits which formed in the LIB after a fire were useful for injecting water. A projectile effect of cylindrical cells was observed in Exp. A. The Exp. B results showed that AUT-BOR mitigates risks effectively and safely. Also, AUT-BOR provides an early fire warning system and spot cooling to prevent thermal runaway reactions while localizing and suppressing the fire. In Exp. B, fire detection and suppression occurred without any explosion.

Published: August 2021

Leukoreduction of blood products is a technique used to prevent leukocyte-induced transfusion reactions and is extensively used in human, but rarely in veterinary patients. The concentration of some coagulation proteins can be affected by the processing steps used for the preparation of leuko-reduced plasma units. In this study, we assessed the effect of leukoreduction on coagulation activity of canine plasma collected for transfusion. Ten plasma units, five obtained from non-leuko-reduced (non-LR) whole blood (WB) units and five from leuko-reduced (LR) WB units were evaluated. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), coagulation factor activities of factors (F) V, VIII, X, XI, and von Willebrand (vWF), fibrinogen and D-dimers content were assessed at collection (baseline value, D0) and after 7 days of frozen storage at −18 °C (D7). Compared to non-LR plasma units, LR units showed a statistically significant prolonged aPTT and reduced FXI activity. Filtration had no significant effect on the other factors and parameters evaluated. Filtration-dependent changes appear to have no impact on the therapeutic quality of plasma obtained from leuko-reduced whole blood, other than for FXI activity. Further studies on a larger sample size comparing the same unit before and after leukoreduction are needed to confirm these findings.
A Brief Review of the Structure, Cytotoxicity, Synthesis, and Biodegradation of Microcystins
Authors: Krishnan Anjali , Mou Xiaozhen
Published: August 2021

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms pose an environmental health hazard due to the release of water-soluble cyanotoxins. One of the most prevalent cyanotoxins in nature is microcystins (MCs), a class of cyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxins, and they are produced by several common cyanobacteria in aquatic environments. Once released from cyanobacterial cells, MCs are subjected to physical chemical and biological transformations in natural environments. MCs can also be taken up and accumulated in aquatic organisms and their grazers/predators and induce toxic effects in several organisms, including humans. This brief review aimed to summarize our current understanding on the chemical structure, exposure pathway, cytotoxicity, biosynthesis, and environmental transformation of microcystins.

Published: August 2021

Integrated water management has become a priority for cropping systems where subirrigation is possible. Compared to conventional sprinkler irrigation, the controlling water table can lead to a substantial increase in yield and water use efficiency with less pumping energy requirements. Knowing the spatiotemporal distribution of water table depth (WTD) and soil properties should help perform intelligent, integrated water management. Observation wells were installed in cranberry fields with different water management systems: Bottom, with good drainage and controlled WTD management; Surface, with good drainage and sprinkler irrigation management; Natural, without drainage, or with imperfectly drained and conventional sprinkler irrigation. During the 2017–2020 growing seasons, WTD was monitored on an hourly basis, while precipitation was measured at each site. Multi-frequential periodogram analysis revealed a dominant periodic component of 40 days each year in WTD fluctuations for the Bottom and Surface systems; for the Natural system, periodicity was heterogeneous and ranged from 2 to 6 weeks. Temporal cross correlations with precipitation show that for almost all the sites, there is a 3 to 9 h lag before WTD rises; one exception is a subirrigation site. These results indicate that automatic water table management based on continuously updated knowledge could contribute to integrated water management systems, by using precipitation-based models to predict WTD.

Diseases of the urological profile are one of the most important medical and social issues of the modern world. According to various sources, from 50 % to 75 % of men over 50 years old have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and by the age of 80, BPH is detected in 90 % of the male population. BPH manifests itself with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in most patients. Prostate cancer ranks 2nd or 3rd in the structure of malignant neoplasms in men, and the prevalence of this pathology continues to grow. This trend is associated with an increase in average life expectancy, improved diagnosis of pathologies and early detection of the disease. Risk factors affecting the development of both prostate cancer and BPH include the patient’s age, race, family history, eating habits, the presence or absence of bad habits, and a sedentary lifestyle. Surgical methods for treating prostate cancer include open retropubic prostatectomy and laparoscopic adenomectomy. The «gold standard» of surgical treatment of BPH is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), but the emergence of new endovideosurgical methods (bipolar TURP, transurethral enucleation of the prostate (TUEP) allows to expand the scope of their use and reduce possible complications in the early and late postoperative period.

GPs’ perceptions of their relationship with the pharmaceutical industry: a qualitative study
Authors: Larkin James , Pericin Ivana , Collins Maurice , Smith Susan M , Byrne David , Moriarty Frank
Published: August 2021

Background

The pharmaceutical industry invests heavily in promoting medications to physicians. This promotion may influence physicians’ prescribing behaviour and lead to inappropriately increased prescribing rates.

Aim

To understand GPs’ experience of interacting with the pharmaceutical industry, and explore their views and perceptions of the impact of this interaction in general practice in Ireland.

Design & setting

A qualitative design was used, and GPs practicing in Ireland were eligible.

Method

A combination of purposive and snowball sampling techniques was applied and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Thematic analysis was used to develop themes from the data.

Results

Twenty-one GPs and one GP trainee participated. Five themes were developed: 1) GP and pharmaceutical industry interface; 2) the industry’s methods of influence; 3) the uncomfortable relationship between GPs and industry; 4) GPs’ perceptions of being unconsciously influenced; and 5) GPs’ lack of knowledge of relevant regulations.

Participants interacted with pharmaceutical representatives in their surgery and through continuing professional development (CPD). Reported methods of influence included biased information and the offer of gifts. Most participants felt their prescribing was unconsciously influenced. A minority felt that they were only influenced in a way that improved their prescribing.

Conclusion

The study shows that there can be a lack of clarity among GPs about relevant regulations and about the potential impact on prescribing of interactions with the pharmaceutical industry. Education of trainees and GPs has the potential to address this. Restrictions on interactions with the pharmaceutical industry may also play a role, although alternative CPD funding sources would need to be established.
Clinicians’ and patients’ experiences of managing heart failure during the COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative study
Authors: Forsyth Faye , Sowden Emma , Hossain Muhammad Zakir , Tuffnell Rachel , Chew-Graham Carolyn , Blakeman Thomas , Deaton Christi
Published: August 2021

Background

Severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), resulted in unprecedented societal and healthcare provision change, which has been implemented at pace. Little is known about the indirect impacts of these changes and what the future effects may be.

Aim

To explore patients’ and clinicians’ experiences of managing heart failure (HF) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design & setting

Qualitative study in three regions of the UK: Cambridgeshire, Greater Manchester, and the West Midlands.

Method

Semi-structured interviews (n = 30) were conducted with older adults with established HF and healthcare providers from primary and secondary health services involved in their care. Interviews were analysed thematically.

Results

Compliance with the government guidance ‘Stay at home, protect the NHS, and save lives’ during the COVID-19 pandemic, and perceptions relating to risk from COVID-19 and underlying morbidity, drove ‘being careful’ behaviours and organisational changes. Enacting behavioural change and implementing organisational change resulted in opportunities and challenges for health and healthcare practice.

Conclusion

Perception of risk led to significant behavioural and organisational change during the pandemic. Some changes described by both patients and clinicians, such as enhanced relationships and self-monitoring, present as opportunities, and consideration should be given as to how to maintain or develop these. Equally, indirect impacts of COVID-19 and the associated lockdown, such as disengagement and withdrawal, and the fallout from reluctance to access health services, should be acknowledged and interventions to address these challenges are needed.
A defesa das religiões de comunidades tradicionais de terreiro: os desafios da luta contra as formas de intolerância religiosa

Em decorrência dos constantes relatos pela mídia nacional de ataques aos terreiros e aos praticantes das comunidades tradicionais de terreiro, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar como o povo de santo vem resistindo ao processo de violência, isto é, à atuação de pessoas ou organizações ligadas às religiões de tradição de terreiros e as suas atitudes diante dos ataques intolerantes contra as religiões tradicionais de terreiro. Ou seja, verificaremos os processos de resistência do povo de santo aos atos violentos cometidos contra a sua fé. Sendo assim, nossa pesquisa buscou identificar, a partir da realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas e de forma qualitativa (com lideranças, assistências e frequentadores das respectivas religiões), a construção de uma resistência diante dos atos que reduzem a sua fé a sortilégios, charlatanismos ou, ainda, à pura demonização e aversão aos elementos que lembram ou remete para a fé, que, segundo os seus perseguidores, desviam as pessoas da “verdade”. Através de análise das entrevistas, constatamos a existência de uma constante reação e inconformismo perante os ataques intolerantes, e de atitudes que sinalizam luta por justiça, por respeito à liberdade religiosa. Tais ações de resistência estão pautadas na força da fé das religiões tradicionais de terreiro e na constatação de que muitos dos ataques e da violência desses atos são resultado de uma das facetas do racismo à brasileira, ou seja, o racismo religioso.

Published: August 2021

The authors touch upon the problem of the development of additional technological education in Russian schools by comparing it with the situation in Western countries. Aim: strong requirements for inventions of schoolchildren should be established, a clear sequence of their teaching in invention and creation should be developed. Methods: methodology for teaching schoolchildren to invent and create something that has not existed before in different age groups is presented; a patent for a utility model developed jointly with schoolchildren participating in the system of additional technological education in Lipetsk seem to be important results of this study. Results: the authors considered ways to improve the effectiveness of teaching schoolchildren to invent in the field of additional technological education, taking into account current problems and trends. The systematic training of schoolchildren from elementary grade to middle and senior grades normally gives a positive result during the formation of divergent thinking, which translates into the child's ability to generate a variety of ideas for improving technical objects and creation as such. Attracting the capabilities of enterprises to organize an authentic educational process is relevant, too, as long as the project activities are designed to form the skills of independent work, creative and research activities.

Authors: Kyrychenko Mykola , Nikitenko Vitalina , Voronkova Valentyna , Harbar Halyna , Fursin Alexander A.
Published: August 2021

The urgency of the studied problem is due to the fact that reveals one of the most popular and fashionable areas of philosophy of the XXI century - the philosophy of postmodernism, in the context of which the coronavirus discourse fits, which continues to deepen and fill with new content. Due to the huge number of problems of digital transformation of human existence, the concepts of postmodern society in the context of digitalization should be explored in order to overcome the negative consequences of coronavirus existence. The aim of the article is to conceptualize the philosophy of postmodernism, which unfolds, on the one hand, as a search for new forms of creative self-expression, and on the other, as a crisis of philosophical knowledge. The objectives of the study include the analysis of the concepts of postmodern reality, which is based on the formation of a new system of categories and concepts as a system of ways of constructing a new being - postmodernism, deconstructivism, simulacrum. This system of concepts includes a set of methods of cognition of reality - ontological-metaphysical, logical-axiological, critical-existential to understand the essence and existence of man, understanding their correlations and attributive system parameters, structure, substrate, characteristic of understanding a complex society. An ambivalent and contradictory current is represented, which has spread to many areas - politics, religion, science in search of an assessment of the cognitive capabilities of man and his place in the modern world. The materials of the article are of practical value for in-depth understanding of postmodern philosophy, which is closely related to the problems of coronavirus and post-coronavirus life. It is concluded that postmodernity is a big process of losing the sensation of history and the meaning of a person, which led to the destruction of history, a crisis of philosophical knowledge in the era of digitalization, in which the original no longer makes sense, and the model of a veiled copy prevails.

A partir del entendimiento del ensayo como herramienta indispensable a la hora de hacer crítica, el siguiente razonamiento explora las acepciones originales del término manifestación y pretende, mediante una reflexión que integra nociones y episodios de la contemporaneidad englobar, inclusiva y solidariamente, unos nuevos especímenes. Se intensifica el papel que adquiere la relación entre el manifestante y el lugar donde se manifiesta exponiendo, al mismo tiempo, al concepto de apropiación como agente fundamental para su consecución. Se proclama la relevancia de estos acontecimientos en el desarrollo de nuestras ciudades y se ratifica, a través de unos sucesos que conforman la excepción a la regla, la veracidad de estos primeros postulados. Con todo, se aspira a concientizar acerca de la contribución transformadora que tienen las manifestaciones en nuestras urbes, admitiendo al cambio como una muestra evidente de la buena salud que goza una sociedad.
La inservidumbre de la escritura en la época de la técnica: Heidegger, Nietzsche, Benjamin y Foucault
Authors: Jordana Lluch Ester
Published: August 2021

El presente artículo examina las relaciones entre escritura, técnica y pensamiento. Las reflexiones de Martin Heidegger en torno a porqué la ciencia no piensa nos permiten abordar el problema de la homogenización del pensamiento y de la escritura en las universidades contemporáneas. Afirmar hoy que «la academia no piensa» invita a una reflexión respecto a esos modos de pensamiento y escritura imperantes. Siguiendo los vínculos que Heidegger establece entre el avenimiento de la técnica y la transformación de la escritura analizamos su noción de serenidad para contraponerla al modo en que Friedrich Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin y Michel Foucault se sirven de distintos objetos técnicos para generar nuevas formas de pensamiento y de escritura.

The constant outcry of misuse and mismanagement of funds in governmental organisations have given concern to several researches, debates and blame games. Our focus in this qualitative study is to interpretively examine the extent of internal security and management measures that are explorable in curtailing the inability to recover dues and third party loans in an IPPIS challenge-prone era among unions and cooperative societies in tertiary institutions in Nigeria, the University of Uyo, Uyo being our focus point. The study is an interpretive research that employed semi-structured interviews for the chairpersons of ASUU, SSANU, NASU and NAAT and the presidents of cooperative societies run by the unions in a federal university such as ours. These chairpersons and presidents were purposively selected for the study. Three research questions were raised to guide the study: What internal security measures are put in place by the unions to ensure recovery of dues and third party loans from debtors? How do the cooperative societies manage their funds and recover dues and third party loans during the IPPIS era? What relationship exists between the unions, cooperative societies and IPPIS office for dues and third party loans recovery? The findings of the study showed that there is no full proof of internal security measures put in place to recover dues and third party loans; that committees are set up in the cooperative societies to manage their funds through several management strategies; there is no clear relationship between the Unions, cooperative societies and IPPIS Office to aid in the recovery of dues and third party loans in the university. The study recommended among others that the IPPIS should be transparent enough to abide by the laws of its establishment in order not to under mind its primary functions of deduction and remittance of dues and third party loans to beneficiaries.
