Nepali Paintings and Poetry: Reviews and Reflections
Authors: Subedi Abhi
Published: April 2022

This topic has been lodging with me for over three decades. During this period of time it has continued to pose me new challenges and new excitements of openings. I have written some essays on this topic. I am basically a literary person who writes poems, plays, essays, art criticism and theoretical aspects of both genres of art - paintings and poetry. As a teacher I have taught these subjects all my life. But saying final words does not worry me because despite efforts by art critics, historians and literary writers to draw common grounds for both literature and art, it has yielded mixed results everywhere. One thing is always certain - the comparisons remain incomplete in terms of drawing either a fine line between arts and poetry, and showing the unique merger between the two forms of art. Some subjects remain exciting in their incomplete states. That happens as a matter of exigency, which means the incompletion of comparison is necessitated by the nature of the subject itself. As this is a very big subject, attempt is made to narrow it down to the poetic experience. Affinity of the genre of literature, especially of poetry, to art constitutes the subject matter for this article.

Authors: Шутько Віктор Васильович , Карпов Віктор Іванович , Світка Л. М.
Published: April 2022

У зв’язку з різким погіршенням стану здоров’я і малорухливим способом життя школярів потрібно шукати нові методи заохочення до занять фізичної культури. Використання цих методів на уроках з волейболу не є випадковим, так як волейбол – це один з найпопулярніших видів спорту, який отримав всесвітнє визнання. Багаточисленний інтерес до цього виду спорту пояснюється його доступністю, великим спектром емоцій, отриманих під час гри, і можливістю використовувати його для різних вікових груп. Дослідження ефективності застосування ігрового і змагального методів сприятиме підвищенню мотивації і інтересу до занять фізичними вправами. 1. Ігрова та змагальна діяльність, як форма і метод навчання школярів, є найбільш продуктивним напрямком у навчально-виховному процесі в сучасній методиці фізичного виховання. Ігровий і змагальний метод завжди приваблює і радує дитину. 2. Ігровий і змагальний методи використовуються в процесі фізичного виховання для комплексного вдосконалення фізичних якостей, тому що в ігровому і змагальному методі присутні сприятливі передумови для розвитку спритності, сили, швидкості, витривалості. 3. Ігровий і змагальний метод необов'язково повинні бути пов'язані з загальноприйнятими спортивними іграми, наприклад футболом, волейболом або рухливими іграми. Вони можуть бути застосовані на базі будь-яких фізичних вправ. 4. Ігровий і змагальний методи в силу всіх притаманних їм особливостей використовуються в процесі фізичного виховання не стільки для початкового навчання рухам або виборчого впливу на окремі фізичні здібності, скільки для комплексного вдосконалення рухової діяльності в ускладнених умовах.

Export of Transport Services: Russian Far East
Authors: Bardal Anna
Published: April 2022

The article analyzes the dynamics of the key components of the export of transport services at the national and regional levels. It is shown that despite the negative impact of restrictions during the spread of the pandemic in 2019-2020, there is an increase in the export of transport services of the Russian Federation. The growth of the indicator is due to the increase in revenues from freight transportation. The regional cross-section is presented on the example of the Russian Far East. At the macro-regional level, the share of transport in the total export of services is significantly (1.8 times) higher than the national average. The main contribution to the formation of the indicator of the macroregion is made by Primorsky Krai (7.5%). The key seaports of the Pacific coast of Russia are located here.
 
Three directions for the development of the export of transport services in the Far East are presented: 1) servicing export-import flows outside the national territory, 2) transit traffic, 3) participation in the international market of transport services. For each direction, the growth opportunities and restrictions on the export of transport services were assessed. With the use of comparative analysis methods, it is argued that the most promising is the service of cargo flows of the national economy. Prospects are related, among other things, to the implementation of the Northern Sea Transport Corridor project and the formation of a system of reference seaports for Arctic routes in the macroregion. It is shown that transit traffic will not play a significant role in the growth of exports of transport services in the Far East. The negative impact of infrastructural and economic factors on the competitiveness of international transport corridors passing through the territory of the east of the country has been revealed. The limitations of the direct participation of the transport complex of the Far Eastern Federal District in the international market are argued, which include features of the structure of the economy and insufficient development of the elements of the transport complex. The results of the work can serve as a basis for developing measures to develop the export of transport services.
China's Digital Silk Road
Authors: Gamza Leonid A.
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the development of China's technologies as the main strategic component of the reform policy and the formation on this basis of a new model of the country's development. The state and structure of China's digital economy and the main directions of its development in the new era are considered. Using the example of the world leader in the field of advanced information and communication technologies, the global transnational company (TNC) Huawei, the state, dynamics and prospects for promoting Chinese technologies in the world in the format of building the Digital Silk Road (DSR) are shown. On the example of individual countries and regions, the state and features of the formation of regional blocks of the Digital Silk Road are considered. It is emphasized that in the context of the pandemic, the growing tightening of US sanctions and the actual blockade of the US market, the digital economy of China has become the core and basis for the formation of the DSR. The regional block of Southeast Asia, which is close to China, is dynamically developing in this direction. The countries of the Middle East and Latin America have a significant potential for cooperation. Despite the sanctions, certain opportunities and prospects remain in Europe. Africa is becoming an important strategic asset for construction of the DSR. Separately, the state of cooperation between China and Russia in the field of information and communication technologies in the context of Western sanctions, as well as the possibility of forming on this basis the Russian-Chinese Common digital community (CDC) with the prospect of its development into a single Eurasian digital space (EADC) are analyzed. Finally, it is concluded that China will continue to actively build a global DSR based on the promotion of Chinese technologies to world markets in the course of implementing the goals and objectives of the 14th Five-Year Plan.

Authors: Keshavarz Mitra , Barati-Boldaji Reza , Mazloomi Seyed Mohammad , Yousefi Mohammad Hashem
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Yogurt is mixed with spinach in some countries. Spinach can be a probable dietary source of Nitrate and Nitrite, and further N-nitrosamine. Methods: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of inoculation of Lactobacillus acidophilus on the level of nitrite and nitrate in “yogurt containing spinach” (YS) during refrigeration in for 21 days. 4 types of yogurts including yogurt (Y), probiotic yogurt (PY), YS, and probiotic YS (PYS) were produced and kept at 4 °C for 21 days. Their nitrite and nitrate levels were measured by HPLC on days 1, 7, 14, and 21. Results: There was no significant difference between the mean concentrations of nitrate and nitrite of Y and PY and between YS and PYS. Although the effect of refrigeration at 4 °C for 21 days was not significant on the nitrate amount of Y and PY, it was close to a significant level in YS and PYS. It also caused a significant increase in the nitrite content of all yogurts. This study showed that Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria cannot affect the amount of nitrate and nitrite in yogurt or YS at 4°C. Conclusion: Increasing the nitrite content of samples may enhance the possibility of nitrosamine formation. It is suggested that those who are at risk for all malformations caused by nitrites should not keep YS for a long time. Keywords: nitrate; nitrite; Lactobacillus acidophilus; probiotic yogurt containing spinach; HPLC

Authors: Shaik Aleesha , Chen Qinzhong , Mar Phyu , Kim HyoungSup , Mejia Priscilla , Pacheco Hannah , Goonewardena Sascha N. , Cho Daniel J. , Rosenson Robert S.
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Elevated estimated blood viscosity (EBV), derived from hematocrit and globulins, is associated with thrombotic complications, organ failure, and higher mortality in COVID-19 patients. Although informative, EBV does not account for cellular interactions or fibrinogen. OBJECTIVE: Investigate whether patients with acute and recent COVID-19 have altered whole blood viscosity (WBV) when measured at both high and low shear rates using in vitro blood samples from patients. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of 58 patients: 15 in the intensive care unit with acute COVID-19, 32 convalescent (9 < 8weeks [W] from acute infection, 23 > 8 W), and 11 controls without COVID-19. WBV was measured at high (300 s–1) and low (5 s–1) shear rates (HSR, LSR) using a scanning capillary viscometer. RESULTS Acute and convalescent patients < 8 W had mean WBV at LSR (16.0 centipoise [cP] and 15.1 cP) and HSR (5.1 cP and 4.7 cP). Mean WBV of convalescent > 8 W and control patients were 12.3 cP and 13.0 cP at LSR, and 4.1 cP and 4.2 cP at HSR. Acute and < 8 W patients had significantly higher WBV at both HSR and LSR compared to patients > 8 W (all p≤0.01). No significant differences in WBV were observed between acute and < 8 W patients, or between patients > 8 W and controls. CONCLUSIONS: Hyperviscosity provides a possible explanation for thrombotic risk in acute and convalescent (< 8 W) patients. These findings have important implications for thromboprophylaxis.
Articulation of employee retention through supervisory support: A serial-mediation investigation
Authors: Mittal Ella , Kaur Navneet
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Supervisory support enhances employee retention and also improves the psychological empowerment of employees and generates organizational citizenship behavior. Employees feel more optimistic as they get the necessary support and adequate resources to perform their duties efficiently. Hence, empowered employees are more likely to stay in the organization for a more extended period. Similarly, employees receiving high supervisory support may exhibit a higher level of OCB that will ultimately lower the turnover rate and elevate employee retention. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to analyze the mechanism to enhance employee retention (ER) through supervisory support (SS). The study also examines the indirect influence through the serial mediation of psychological empowerment (PE) and organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). METHODS: The serial mediation approach was used to test the proposed model of the study. The data was collected through a self-administered structured questionnaire filled by 428 banking employees of North India. The model hypotheses of serial mediation were tested by applying Hayes PROCESS Model 6. RESULTS/CONCLUSION: The relationship between SS and ER of banking employees through serial mediation of PE and OCB was unprecedented. The results reveal that supervisory support positively contributes to enhance employee retention among private sector banking employees. Additionally, the study has outlined that PE and OCB play noticeable mediation roles for employees to stay in the organization. Implications are also discussed.

Background: Determining amyloid positivity is possible with cerebrospinal fluid and brain imaging of amyloid, but these methods are invasive and expensive. Objective: To relate plasma amyloid-β (Aβ), measured using Single-molecule array (Simoatrademark) assays, to in vivo brain Aβ, measured using positron emission tomography (PET), examine the accuracy of plasma Aβ to predict brain Aβ positivity, and the relation of APOE ɛ4 with plasma Aβ. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis in a cohort of 345 late middle-aged Hispanic men and women (age 64 years, 72% women). Our primary plasma variable was Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio measured with Simoa. Brain Aβ burden was measured as global SUVR with 18F-Florbetaben PET examined continuously and categorically. Results: Plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio was inversely associated with global Aβ SUVR (β= –0.13, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): –0.23, –0.03; p = 0.013) and Aβ positivity (Odds Ratio: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.38, 0.91; p = 0.016), independent of demographics and APOE ɛ4. ROC curves (AUC = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.64, 0.82; p < 0.0001) showed that the optimal threshold for plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio in relation to brain Aβ positivity was 0.060 with a sensitivity of 82.4% and specificity of 62.8%. APOE ɛ4 carriers had lower Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio and a higher Aβ positivity determined with the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio threshold of 0.060. Conclusion: Plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio assayed using Simoa is weakly correlated with in vivo brain amyloid and has limited accuracy in screening for amyloid positivity and for studying risk factors of brain amyloid burden when in vivo imaging is not feasible.

Background: Sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (sAD) lacks a unifying hypothesis that can account for the lipid peroxidation observed early in the disease, enrichment of ApoE in the core of neuritic plaques, hallmark plaques and tangles, and selective vulnerability of entorhinal-hippocampal structures. Objective: We hypothesized that 1) high expression of ApoER2 (receptor for ApoE and Reelin) helps explain this anatomical vulnerability; 2) lipid peroxidation of ApoE and ApoER2 contributes to sAD pathogenesis, by disrupting neuronal ApoE delivery and Reelin-ApoER2-Dab1 signaling cascades. Methods: In vitro biochemical experiments; Single-marker and multiplex fluorescence-immunohistochemistry (IHC) in postmortem specimens from 26 individuals who died cognitively normal, with mild cognitive impairment or with sAD. Results: ApoE and ApoER2 peptides and proteins were susceptible to attack by reactive lipid aldehydes, generating lipid-protein adducts and crosslinked ApoE-ApoER2 complexes. Using in situ hybridization alongside IHC, we observed that: 1) ApoER2 is strongly expressed in terminal zones of the entorhinal-hippocampal ‘perforant path’ projections that underlie memory; 2) ApoE, lipid aldehyde-modified ApoE, Reelin, ApoER2, and the downstream Reelin-ApoER2 cascade components Dab1 and Thr19-phosphorylated PSD95 accumulated in the vicinity of neuritic plaques in perforant path terminal zones in sAD cases; 3) several ApoE/Reelin-ApoER2-Dab1 pathway markers were higher in sAD cases and positively correlated with histological progression and cognitive deficits. Conclusion: Results demonstrate derangements in multiple ApoE/Reelin-ApoER2-Dab1 axis components in perforant path terminal zones in sAD and provide proof-of-concept that ApoE and ApoER2 are vulnerable to aldehyde-induced adduction and crosslinking. Findings provide the foundation for a unifying hypothesis implicating lipid peroxidation of ApoE and ApoE receptors in sAD.

Background:

Muscles of boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are progressively replaced by fatty fibrous tissues, and weakness leads to loss of ambulation (LoA). Step activity (SA) monitoring is a quantitative measure of real-world ambulatory function. The relationship between quality of muscle health and SA is unknown in DMD.

Objective:

To determine SA in steroid treated boys with DMD across various age groups, and to evaluate the association of SA with quality of muscle health and ambulatory function.

Methods:

Quality of muscle health was measured by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging transverse magnetization relaxation time constant (MRI-T2) and MR spectroscopy fat fraction (MRS-FF). SA was assessed via accelerometry, and functional abilities were assessed through clinical walking tests. Correlations between SA, MR, and functional measures were determined. A threshold value of SA was determined to predict the future LoA.

Results:

The greatest reduction in SA was observed in the 9– < 11years age group. SA correlated with all functional and MR measures.10m walk/run test had the highest correlation with SA. An increase in muscle MRI-T2 and MRS-FF was associated with a decline in SA. Two years prior to LoA, SA in boys with DMD was 32% lower than age matched boys with DMD who maintained ambulation for more than two-year period. SA monitoring can predict subsequent LoA in Duchenne, as a daily step count of 3200 at baseline was associated with LoA over the next two-years.

Conclusion:

SA monitoring is a feasible and accessible tool to measure functional capacity in the real-world environment.

Background: Visual impairment is frequent and highly disabling in Parkinson’s disease (PD); however, few studies have comprehensively evaluated its impact on vision-related quality of life. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between visual function tests and the visual impairment perceived by PD patients in daily living activities. Methods: We cross-sectionally evaluated 62 PD patients and 33 healthy controls (HC). Visual disability was measured with a comprehensive battery of primary visual function and visual cognition tests (visual outcomes), and vision-related quality of life was evaluated with the National Eye Institute 25-Item Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25). The relationship between visual outcomes and NEI VFQ-25 sub-scores was analyzed with Pearson’s correlations and stepwise linear regression. Results: In PD patients, and not in HC, most NEI VFQ-25 sub-scores were significantly correlated with Cube Analysis and Dot Counting from Visual Object and Space Perception (VOSP) battery (visual perception), Clock Drawing Test (visuoconstructive capacity) and Trail Making Test part-A (visual attention and processing speed) and to a lesser extent with high- and low-contrast visual acuity. Dot Counting (VOSP) was the test primarily associated with most NEI VFQ-25 sub-scores (5 out of 12). Roth-28 color test was the one that best explained the variance of Peripheral Vision (R2: 0.21) and Role Difficulties (R2: 0.36) sub-scores of NEI VFQ-25, while photopic contrast sensitivity explained 41% of Driving sub-score variance. Conclusion: Vision-related quality of life in PD is mainly influenced by alterations in visual perception, visuoconstructive capacity and visual attention and processing speed. Future studies are warranted to confirm and further extend our findings.

Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms are common and important to people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), but their etiology is poorly understood. Plasma neurofilament light (NfL) and p-tau181 are biomarkers of neuro-axonal degeneration and tau pathology respectively, which have yet to be explored in association with the affective and psychotic symptoms in PD. Objective: To investigate the relationship between plasma NfL and p-tau181 with the affective and psychotic symptoms in PD. Methods: We assessed the baseline concentration of plasma NfL and p-tau181 in a cohort of 108 patients with PD and 38 healthy controls. A subgroup of patients (n = 63) were assessed annually with clinical measures for up to 7 years. Psychotic symptoms were assessed using the Non-Motor Symptom Scale and affective symptoms were measured in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Results: Baseline plasma NfL was a significant predictor of psychotic symptoms longitudinally across the study adjusted for age, Hoehn and Yahr stage, duration of follow up, duration of disease, baseline levodopa and dopamine agonist medication, and baseline cognition: (OR 8.15 [95% CI 1.40–47.4], p = 0.020). There was no association between NfL concentration and the cumulative prevalence of affective symptoms. Plasma p-tau181 concentration was not associated with psychotic or affective symptoms. Conclusion: These findings suggest psychotic symptoms are associated with greater neurodegeneration in PD. Further studies are needed to explore NfL as a potential biomarker for psychosis in PD.
MRI and Its Implications in Dentistry

Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) has become one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in radiology and diagnostic sciences. It is non-invasive and non-ionizing and the images are highly sensitive and specific with excellent soft tissue contrast. It gives excellent images of anatomic structures differing in proton density and other tissue characteristics. It can be used to assess intracranial and extracranial lesions particularly those involving the soft tissues.

MRI has the shortcoming of being prone to magnetic susceptibility difference artefacts, caused by the presence of metallic materials such as dental restorative materials, implants and orthodontic appliances. All substances when placed in a magnetic field are magnetized to a degree which varies according to their magnetic susceptibility. Non precious dental alloys have the potential of causing image deformation or image voids.

Dentists are not the only professionals implanting metal devices. Heart pacemakers and defibrillators, aneurysm clips, cochlear implants, insulin pumps, vascular stents and artificial joints are widely used in various branches of medicine. In some cases, it is not possible to carry out MRI due to extensive dental hardware with a high ferromagnetic content. Severe image distortion or an inability to perform the MRI scan due to dental restorations is a rare problem, but cannot be completely eliminated. This article has been written to educate the dentists on the implications of metallic dental restorations on MRI scans.

Sentidos e Percepções das Mulheres acerca das Práticas Preventivas do Câncer do Colo do Útero: Revisão Integrativa da Literatura
Authors: Santos Jeferson Nascimento dos , Gomes Rosilene Souza
Published: April 2022

Introdução: O exame do Papanicolaou, caso seja realizado periodicamente, permite identificar alterações celulares que podem evoluir para o câncer. A baixa adesão ao preventivo é uma das causas que transforma o câncer do colo do útero na quarta causa mais frequente de morte de mulheres por câncer no Brasil. As percepções que elas têm sobre preventivo são variadas e podem ter relação direta com a adesão ao exame. Objetivo: Identificar estudos sobre sentidos e percepções das mulheres acerca do exame preventivo do câncer do colo do útero. Método: Revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases de dados do MEDLINE e LILACS, sem delimitação de tempo. Resultados: Os estudos mostraram que as mulheres, em sua maioria, desconhecem o objetivo principal do preventivo, referem medo em relação a um possível diagnóstico de câncer e ao desconforto físico decorrente do exame, além de apresentarem sentimentos como vergonha em expor o próprio corpo, associando à sexualidade. Barreiras institucionais, sociais e a falta de acolhimento por parte do profissional comprometem a adesão da mulher ao exame. Conclusão: As mulheres atribuem sentimentos considerados negativos como vergonha e medo do preventivo, bem como desconhecimento da importância e do objetivo principal do exame, contribuindo para a baixa adesão ao rastreamento. Portanto, torna-se necessário que os profissionais saibam quais são as dúvidas e os receios das mulheres, considerando seus aspectos socioculturais e econômicos, para potencializar o vínculo terapêutico e possibilitar melhor compreensão do significado e da importância do exame.

Authors: Roberts-Camps Traci
Published: April 2022

El propósito de este ensayo es analizar las dinámicas del poder y opresión en No robarás... (a menos que sea necesario) (2013), de Viviana Cordero, y En el nombre de la hija (2011), de Tania Hermida, a partir de la teoría de la interseccionalidad. En estas páginas se examina cómo estas directoras exploran los temas de género, etnicidad, clases sociales y edad. La perspectiva de la interseccionalidad —entendida como el reconocimiento de la importancia de distintos aspectos de la identidad y cómo se entrelazan y afectan— es central en este análisis. Conjuntamente, se subrayan los sistemas de poder que marginalizan a los protagonistas de Cordero y Hermida.
