Screening and Detection SARS-CoV-2RNA from Buffy Coats v1
Authors: Bachu Mahesh
Published: May 2020

The CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel is a real-time RT-PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from the 2019-nCoV in upper and lower respiratory specimens (such as nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs, sputum, lower respiratory tract aspirates, bronchoalveolar lavage, and nasopharyngeal wash/aspirate or nasal aspirate) collected from individuals who meet 2019-nCoV clinical and/or epidemiological criteria. This protocol is adapted to screen 2019-nCoV in RNA isolated from whole blood. Results are for the identification of 2019-nCoV RNA. The 2019-nCoV RNA is generally detectable in upper and lower respiratory specimens during infection and very rarely detected in whole blood. Positive results are indicative of active infection with 2019-nCoV but do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Negative results do not preclude 2019-nCoV infection and should not be used as the sole basis of management decisions. The CDC 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel is a molecular in vitro diagnostic test that aids in the detection and diagnosis 2019-nCoV and is based on widely used nucleic acid amplification technology. The product contains oligonucleotide primers and dual-labeled hydrolysis probes (TaqMan®) and control material used in rRT-PCR for the in vitro qualitative detection of 2019-nCoV RNA in respiratory specimens. The oligonucleotide primers and probes for detection of 2019-nCoV were selected from regions of the virus nucleocapsid (N) gene. The panel is designed for specific detection of the 2019-nCoV (two primer/probe sets). An additional primer/probe set to detect the human RNase P gene (RP) in control samples and clinical specimens is also included in the panel. RNA isolated and purified from whole blood is reverse transcribed to cDNA and subsequently amplified in the Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument with SDS version 1.4 software. Detection of viral RNA in whole blood aids in the safe operation of labs working with human blood samples.

Evaluación formativa con los estudiantes en prácticas, para reducir la brecha teoría-práctica en la formación inicial del profesorado
Authors: Barba Martín Raúl , Bores García Daniel , González Calvo Gustavo , Hortigüela Alcalá David
Published: May 2020

Entre los docentes en formación inicial, hoy en día existe una apreciación generalizada respecto a que hay una brecha demasiado amplia entre los conocimientos teóricos que se transmiten en el aula universitaria, y la práctica real a la que se enfrenta el docente en sus primeros acercamientos al aula escolar. En España, los planes de estudio universitarios orientados a la formación inicial del profesorado, permiten al docente tomar contacto con la realidad educativa a través de la asignatura del Prácticum. No obstante, es justamente en este proceso de prácticas donde el alumnado puede experimentar ese abismo entre teoría y práctica. En el presente artículo, se plantea la evaluación formativa como un medio idóneo y necesario para unir lo aprendido en el aula universitaria, con las demandas diarias que acontecen en el ámbito escolar.

Settler Unfreedoms
Authors: Cordis Shanya
Published: May 2020

This essay troubles the theoretical impasses wrought by overdetermined framings of settler colonial theory in order to understand the relationship between blackness and indigeneity. While the framework disrupts Native erasure, the language of “incommensurability” that is increasingly deployed to make sense of the particularity of blackness and indigeneity extends settler logics, or what I refer to as “settler unfreedoms.” Drawing on Black and Indigenous feminist praxis of embodied truth telling, this essay examines how the unknowable and illegible terrains of Black political subjectivities constitutes a space that disrupts settler paradigms of freedom and moves forward to an alternate conceptualization of mutual liberation and decolonization.
Racial-Settler Capitalism: Character Building and the Accumulation of Land and Labor in the Late Nineteenth Century
Authors: Fong Sarah E. K.
Published: May 2020

In the late nineteenth century, Northern social reformers turned to the cultivation of self-governing Black and Native subjects as a method of racial and colonial governance that simultaneously sought to suspend state violence and preclude resistance to racial subordination and territorial occupation. This articles examines records from the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute (Virginia) and the Haskell Indian Industrial Institute (Kansas) to reveal “character building” as pedagogical mode to make both labor and land available for capitalist exploitation without recourse to violence. Bridging scholarship on racialization and colonization, this article theorizes the concept of racial-settler capitalism as an intervention into prevailing approaches to racial capitalism and settler capitalism.
Silko’s Vévé and the Web of Differing Versions
Authors: Gómez Reid
Published: May 2020

In Almanac of the Dead, Leslie Marmon Silko asks, who has spiritual possession of the Americas? This question cannot be answered outside of Silko’s premises: it is impossible for outsiders to know where Africa ends and America begins; and the truth resides in the web of differing versions. In this essay, I maintain that Silko’s novel is written as a vévé—a crossroads where Gods and ancestors are subjects capable of narration. Using Silko’s language philosophy and a through close reading of Clinton’s notebooks and radio broadcasts, I argue that slavery/colonization and black/Indian must always be thought together.
Introduction: Rethinking Blackness and Indigeneity in the Light of Settler Colonial Theory
Authors: Sturm Circe
Published: May 2020

Racial analytics in the field, particularly those associated with theories of sovereignty and settler colonialism, have tended to obscure the common ground of Afro-descendant and Indigenous experience, such as land dispossession, political marginalization, and a shared desire for sovereignty and self-determination. In the wake of this analytic divide, even less attention is given to how blackness specifically structures or delimits Indigenous life, as blackness and indigeneity are often taken to be competing identities that cannot exist within the same individuals and communities without friction. This volume seeks to take the next step in pushing forward our theoretical conversations about blackness and indigeneity. Rather than assuming that anti-Black racism, as well as that directed against Indigenous people, are problems of the past or irrelevant to contemporary Indigenous political status, this volume engages with both critical race theory and settler colonial theory to explore how blackness intersects with Indigenous sovereignty, authority, identity, and lived experience.

Published: May 2020

Con base en la información de la Encuesta Nacional sobre la Dinámica de las Relaciones en los Hogares 2016 (ENDIREH) y desde un marco ecológico, el presente estudio busca conocer la prevalencia y los factores asociados de la violencia emocional, física y sexual de pareja durante el último año en las mujeres mexicanas mayores de 64 años (n=7.410). Para tener un marco de comparación, se contrastaron los resultados de mujeres de la tercera edad con los de grupos de mujeres más jóvenes. Los resultados muestran que el 16,3% de las mujeres mayores de 64 años han experimentado algún tipo de violencia de pareja durante el último año, siendo el maltrato emocional el más frecuente. Además, dicho grupo de mujeres experimentó la prevalencia más baja de violencia emocional y sexual, comparados con las mujeres más jóvenes. Por otra parte, algunos de los factores asociados con la violencia fueron similares en las adultas mayores y los grupos de mujeres más jóvenes, principalmente, los relacionados con la historia personal y el entorno inmediato. Por el contrario, los factores del entorno social más amplio fueron distintos. Los hallazgos se discuten teóricamente y en virtud de su utilidad para los programas de atención a la violencia.
Some Aspects of the Influence of Residual Amounts of Glyphosate Herbicide in Soil On Cultural Plants
Authors: Dobrosmyslova I.A. , Sazanova A.A. , Nasakin O.E.
Published: May 2020

Studies have been conducted on the effect of residual quantities of the most common herbicide Glyphosate (0.8; 1.4; 17) mg / kg of soil on the greens of peas and oats. Spectrophotometrically analyzed samples for their content of beta-carotene, which protects the cells of the immune system from damage by free radicals and can improve the immune system. The data obtained showed that the higher the content of herbicide in the soil, the less beta-carotene in samples of hay. The results of the experiments showed that the height of pea seedlings decreases when the soil is treated with Glyphosate. When the concentration of the herbicide is 1.4 mg / kg, it decreases by 32 % compared to the control; when selenium is added, the difference compared to untreated soil is 23 %. less than in the control sample. A sharp decrease in vitamin B2 and vitamin A in greens of peas grown in soil treated with Glyphosate is shown. The content of vitamins increases with the addition of selenium to the soil. The obtained experimental data indicate a decrease in beta-carotene, vitamins A and B2 in greens grown on soil containing Glyphosate.

Authors: Afanasyev S.V. , Shevchenko Yu.N. , Volkov D.A. , Mel’nikova D.A.
Published: May 2020

Various options are considered for the processing of large-capacity waste of ethanolamines generated during long-term operation as absorbents in technological processes of carbon dioxide extraction from converted gas (from a mixture of CO2and hydrogen) in the production of ammonia type AM-76 and accumulation flue gas. Various innovative methods have been proposed for the disposal of spent mono- and methyldiethanolamines, which are in demand in various industries: in the process of urea condensation with a formaldehyde-containing product in the synthesis of adhesive and impregnating resins for woodworking, in the production of high-quality synthetic drying oils and substitutes for titanium white, in the manufacture of flame retardants and molding mixtures for metal structures and foundry molds in the metallurgical industry, when refining oil from hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans. This allowed us to solve the important environmental problem of the disposal of toxic waste, optimize the operation of a number of industries and reduce their environmental impact.

La oferta gastronómica en los campings de Girona (España)
Authors: Forgas-Serra Sara , I Cerdan Lluís Mundet , Majó Fernández Joaquim
Published: May 2020

En los últimos años, el interés de los turistas por la cocina local de los destinos turísticos ha incrementado notablemente, tal vez no siempre como motivación principal de su viaje, sino como parte de él. Este artículo reflexiona sobre la oferta gastronómica que encuentran los turistas que frecuentan los campings de la provincia de Girona (Cataluña, España). Se analizan las páginas web de los campings y se realiza una encuesta a los empresarios para conocer cuál es la procedencia de la cocina que ofrecen y si esta es elaborada o no. Se concluye que la oferta varía dependiendo de si los establecimientos se localizan en la zona litoral, o bien en el interior. Se detecta una baja promoción de la gastronomía por medio de las páginas web de los campings, en contraposición a los esfuerzos que hacen las destination management (DMO) para dar a conocer internacionalmente las tradiciones culinarias regionales.

Local y global: el Estado frente al delito transnacional
Authors: Piedrahita Bustamante Pedro
Published: May 2020

El crimen organizado transnacional (COT) es una de las principales afectaciones a los Estados nación en el mundo contemporáneo, a tal punto que en muchas ocasiones las redes criminales superan la capacidad de las instituciones. El objetivo de este artículo es evidenciar los límites jurídicos del Estado nación frente a dicho fenómeno desde un análisis histórico-hermenéutico. Esta investigación de tipo cualitativo tiene un nivel interpretativo y se desarrolla a partir de una perspectiva dual, tomando elementos del institucionalismo propio de la Ciencia Política y del análisis del Derecho Internacional y el Derecho Penal. Se sostiene la idea de que el Estado nación puede superar su crisis en la medida que se reconozca una soberanía fragmentada que permita no sólo la hibridación del derecho, sino la hibridación de las instituciones y funciones estatales en materia de seguridad y persecución del delito transnacional. Es decir, los Estados deben migrar a una operatividad en red, tal y como lo hacen los grupos asociados al crimen organizado transnacional.
Más allá del principio de proporcionalidad
Authors: Ferreres Comella Víctor
Published: May 2020

El presente artículo aborda el principio de proporcionalidad a la luz de una teoría sustantiva de la justicia y los derechos subjetivos que lo fundamenta. A pesar de la existencia del principio de proporcionalidad, resulta necesaria una teoría “externa” a la mecánica del funcionamiento del principio de proporcionalidad. Una que sirva de soporte a los jueces al momento de responder las preguntas normativas que exige la aplicación del principio. Los pasos y las probabilidades de la proporcionalidad no son suficientes a la hora de identificar distinciones cualitativas entre derechos o atribuir pesos abtractos a la restricción de un derecho vis-à-vis el cumplimiento de un fin legítimo o la garantía de otro derecho de igual importancia. Por tal razón, el presente artículo subraya la necesidad de elaborar serie de teorías sustantivas que sustenten el test de proporcionalidad al determinar, entre otros elementos, el alcance y la aplicación de los derechos en las diferentes esferas sociales, el efecto horizontal de los derechos constitucionales en el ámbito privado, o las implicaciones institucionales de la aplicación del principio de constitucionalidad al determinar el rol de los tribunales en ejercicio del control constitucional.
Estabilidad, profesionalismo y politización en los nombramientos de directivos de agencias reguladoras independientes: lecciones desde la experiencia chilena
Authors: Pardow Diego , Verdugo Sergio
Published: May 2020

Los autores comparan los nombramientos de los directivos de agencias reguladoras donde participó el Senado chileno con aquellos realizados discrecionalmente por el presidente, o bien a través del sistema de Alta Dirección Pública, i.e., un proceso de nombramiento que busca reconciliar la necesidad de estimular nombramientos de directivos con altas credenciales técnicas, con los intereses políticos del gobierno incumbente. El análisis de 200 nombramientos realizados entre 1990 y 2016 sugiere que los directivos elegidos con participación del Senado tienen niveles similares de afiliación política, pero mejores antecedentes profesionales respecto de las autoridades nombradas bajo los otros modelos institucionales. La evidencia también sugiere que el tiempo de permanencia de los directivos nombrados con participación del Senado es dos veces más largo, mientras que casi tres veces más probable que se mantengan en sus cargos después de la instalación de un nuevo gobierno. Los datos también proporcionan evidencia útil para la discusión sobre el impacto que tienen los modelos de nombramiento sobre la autonomía de dichas instituciones. Existe un grado de correlación significativo entre la independencia formal y material de las agencias reguladoras chilenas, así como también la importancia del Senado en el sistema de frenos y contrapesos para los nombramientos directivos.

Nonprofit organizations have been a part of the US business economy since the late 1800s. Religious nonprofits have seen consistent growth in availability and services for the past several years. With that growth, there is increased competition. The purpose of this case study is to analyze International Sports Federation, a nonprofit organization, and provide recommendations for sustainable growth. Today’s religion-focused organizations find themselves challenged in a disruptive climate. The result of this research is beneficial to scholars and practitioners, so that they can assist religious nonprofit organizations in gaining sustainable success under the lens of disruptive change in the marketplace.
Economic Growth, Electricity Access, and Remittances in Kenya
Authors: Onuonga Susan M ,   School of Economics, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya.
Published: May 2020

This paper investigated the long-run relationship between gross domestic product, access to electricity, and remittances within the multivariate framework in Kenya using the data for the period 1987-2018. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test was used to investigate the long-run relationship. Causality between variables was investigated by use of the Granger causality method. The bounds test indicated that there is cointegration when gross domestic product, electricity access, and remittances are dependent variables. The long-run estimation of coefficients suggests that electricity access and remittances have significant positive impact on economic growth in Kenya in the sample period. Causality analysis provides evidence that there is unidirectional Granger causality running from gross domestic product to electricity access and not vice versa and from gross domestic product to remittances and not vice versa. There was no causality between remittances and electricity access. The policy implications of the paper suggest that the government and other companies concerned should enhance electricity access and encourage inflows of remittances as these contribute positively to economic growth in Kenya.
Stress Testing for Credit Risk Exposure in Islamic Banks
Authors: Mohammed Fadwa A , Onour Ibrahim A ,   Elfarabi College for Sciences and Technology, Khartoum, Sudan.,   Elfarabi College for Sciences and Technology, Khartoum, Sudan.
Published: May 2020

In this study, we investigate the link between default loans and macroeconomic and bank-specific variables to assess exposure of Islamic banks to credit risks, and then design stress testing scenarios to assess the banking system’s resilience to adverse shocks. The results suggest that credit risk exposure of Islamic banks in Sudan is mainly affected by bank-specific variables, which include changes in total assets, total deposits, and total loans; all of them have a negative and significant impact on the probability of default loans. The study also indicates that the macroeconomic variables, which include growth of domestic product, change in exchange rate premium, and change in money supply, have positive but insignificant effects on the risk of default loans. The study concludes by pointing out that the Islamic banking system in Sudan is more vulnerable to bank-specific risk exposure rather than macroeconomic indicators.

The purpose of this paper is to assess competitive advantage gained by large-sized banks in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. To investigate the association between return to scale and profitability, the authors have adopted quintile and logistic regression analysis, using data for 81 and 84 banks operating in GCC countries during the years 2016 and 2015, respectively. Their findings indicate a positive association between bank size and increasing return to scale, implying that bigger banks show increasing return to scale, but with decreasing rate, as represented by the negative coefficient of the square of the asset variable. Their results also show medium and upper quintiles of profits are significantly and positively associated with assets, but negatively associated with deposits, implying banks with larger deposits are facing liability management problems. In general, these results support the evidence that large-sized banks in GCC countries are displaying competitive advantage gains over small-sized banks, but these competitive advantage gains are decreasing with bank size increase.

This study aims to assess the determinants of liquidity risk in the full-fledged Islamic banking system of Sudan, using panel data regression. The dependent variable in this research is the liquidity risk, which is determined as the extreme excess or extreme shortage of liquidity in each bank, based on the VaR approach, and the independent variables are bank size, investment, profit, and the budget deficit during the period 2012-2016. The authors’ findings indicate the bankspecific variables such as the size, investment, and profit are statistically significant, whereas the budget deficit variable is negatively associated with liquidity risk but is insignificant. The insignificance of the budget deficit variable is an indication of the government reliance on its deficit financing on debt financing, i.e., excessive money creation, as contrary to equity financing. Also indicated in the paper is that the investment variable has a positive and significant effect on liquidity risk, indicating that Islamic banks’ investment portfolios are dominated by short-term securities (sikook). This result supports the findings in the literature that investment portfolios in Islamic banks are likely to be dominated by short-term investment securities as a result of the absence of risk-hedging tools in the Islamic banking system, in general. The finding in the paper also indicates a positive and significant sign of profit coefficient with liquidity risk, which is similar to the positive association between higher risk and higher earnings relationships portrayed in the literature of corporate finance. The effect of the size indicator on liquidity risk reveals a positive and significant association, implying that larger banks are more likely to face liquidity risks of shortage as well as excess liquidity.

The effect of the Albutrisan-NR substrate on the differentiation of the primary brain culture of aging rats and on the culture of the rabbit vibrissa dermal papilla was studied. The substance is a hydrolysate of fish tissue with a molecular weight of up to 5 kDa. It was found that adding 2% of the substance to the culture medium stimulates the growth and differentiation processes in rat brain cells. The possibility of using the substance as a growth factor for 3D cultivation of pluripotent dermal papilla cells and maintaining an uncommitted state was demonstrated. The use of Albutrisan-NR as a trophic factor in neuronal induction of dermal papilla cells was also shown.

The objective of this study was to analyze the molecular characteristics of the podophyllotoxins and its derivatives with the metabolic enzymes and regulate the designing of therapeutic mechanism against malignant cells. One such inhibitor is podophyllotoxin with anticancer activity because of the capability to stop the metabolic enzymes. In this study, we undertook the in silico analysis with respect to molecular docking podophyllotoxin and its derivatives using the Patchdock server. Moreover, drug likeness of podophyllotoxin, etoposide, and teniposide was investigated using Lipinski filter and SwissADME. According to the molecular docking score, podophyllotoxin indicated that both derivatives (especially teniposide) showed a good binding affinity toward selected protein receptors.

Background and Objectives: Treatment choice for fungal ball is endoscopic endonasal removal. However, it is not easy to remove fungal elements from the maxilla using only an endonasal approach. To overcome this difficulty, we introduced a cotton pledget technique and evaluated its efficacy through a cadaveric study and clinical research.Materials and Method: A cadaveric study was performed using 10 half heads of seven cadavers. The ease and safety of the cotton pledget technique were compared to those of a previously reported technique. In clinical research, we enrolled 52 patients who underwent surgery with the cotton pledget technique and 36 patients who underwent surgery using the conventional endoscopic approach. Demographic factors, preoperative Lund-Mackay (LM) score, sinonasal outcome test (SNOT) score, surgical morbidity, and incomplete removal rate were analyzed.Results: The cadaveric study showed that the cotton pledget technique was easier (p=0.011) than the conventional technique. In addition, clinical evaluation showed that the cotton pledget group had significantly lower incomplete removal rate than that of the control group (p=0.010).Conclusion: The cotton pledget technique is an easy and safe method that enables fungal ball removal more effectively than the conventional technique without need for inferior meatal antrostomy (IMA) or the Caldwell-Luc (CL) approach.

Published: May 2020

Background and Objectives: Following the transsphenoidal approach (TSA), appropriate sphenoid sinus fat packing has been preferred to prevent postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage; however, studies on the behavior of fat tissue transplanted in the sphenoid sinus are lacking. This study aimed to determine the long-term fate of these fat grafts using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Subjects and Method: A total of 139 postoperative MRI scans of 41 patients who underwent sphenoid sinus fat packing using the standard TSA were evaluated. Additionally, MRI time series indicating the vital fat volumes were assessed postoperatively.Results: In 82.9% of cases, the fat volumes measured in the final MRI scans declined to <20% of the initial volumes; only 4.9% of cases exhibited declines to >60% of the initial volume. The fat tissue volume decreased significantly with time, with a median half-life of 18 months. Typically, the sphenoid sinus was eventually almost filled with air rather than transplanted fat. In the subgroup analysis, the fat clearance rate was significantly lower in patients with residual tumors than in those without such remnants (p=0.013).Conclusion: Long-term MRI surveillance of fat grafts in the sphenoid sinus revealed that the transplanted fat graft had degraded and was gradually eliminated.

Published: May 2020

Functional paraganglioma is a rare tumor that secretes the catecholamine which is able to cause secondary hypertension. Surgical resection is the only curative treatment modality for this tumor, which can correct the secondary hypertension. The pterygopalatine fossa is a small retromaxillary space which contains a neurovascular bundle that crosses the middle cranial fossa to the nasal cavity, nasal septum, and oral cavity. To our knowledge, two cases have been reported for functional paraganglioma involving the pterygopalatine fossa removed by surgery. We present a patient who had a catecholamine-secreting paraganglioma in the pterygopalatine fossa, which is the first case successfully resected with an endoscopic approach.

A 57-year-old male patient with nasal congestion and nasal congestion, which occurred 1 month prior to the hospital visited. PNS CT and MRI was performed and revealed right orbital cellulitis, sinusitis and brain abcess. Surgical drainage was determined by rhinology, ophthalmology and neurosurgery. The right sphenoid sinus was identified as an open mucosal mucosa, and blackish mucosa was found on the right sphenoid sinus. Eucleation was performed. Infected orbital tissue removal and orbital abscess drainage were performed. Neurosurgery performed dura incision, drainage and removal of a large amount of abscess pattern, and duroplasty with artificial dura. Actinomyces odontolyti was identified by pus culture, and postoperative antibiotic treatment and dressing were performed, but infection aggravation persisted, resulting in deterioration of general condition, multiple organ damage, and cerebral infarction.
