Published: October 2020

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), although hardly a new technology, have recently gained a prominent role in many industries being widely used not only among enthusiastic consumers, but also in high demanding professional situations, and will have a massive societal impact over the coming years. However, the operation of UAVs is fraught with serious safety risks, such as collisions with dynamic obstacles (birds, other UAVs, or randomly thrown objects). These collision scenarios are complex to analyze in real-time, sometimes being computationally impossible to solve with existing State of the Art (SoA) algorithms, making the use of UAVs an operational hazard and therefore significantly reducing their commercial applicability in urban environments. In this work, a conceptual framework for both stand-alone and swarm (networked) UAVs is introduced, with a focus on the architectural requirements of the collision avoidance subsystem to achieve acceptable levels of safety and reliability. The SoA principles for collision avoidance against stationary objects are reviewed and a novel approach is described, using deep learning techniques to solve the computational intensive problem of real-time collision avoidance with dynamic objects. The proposed framework includes a web-interface allowing the full control of UAVs as remote clients with a supervisor cloud-based platform. The feasibility of the proposed approach was demonstrated through experimental tests using a UAV, developed from scratch using the proposed framework. Test flight results are presented for an autonomous UAV monitored from multiple countries across the world.
Estimating Vertical Land Motion from Remote Sensing and In-Situ Observations in the Dubrovnik Area (Croatia): A Multi-Method Case Study
Authors: Grgić Marijan , Bender Josip , Bašić Tomislav
Published: October 2020

Different space-borne geodetic observation methods combined with in-situ measurements enable resolving the single-point vertical land motion (VLM) and/or the VLM of an area. Continuous Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements can solely provide very precise VLM trends at specific sites. VLM area monitoring can be performed by Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology in combination with the GNSS in-situ data. In coastal zones, an effective VLM estimation at tide gauge sites can additionally be derived by comparing the relative sea-level trends computed from tide gauge measurements that are related to the land to which the tide gauges are attached, and absolute trends derived from the radar satellite altimeter data that are independent of the VLM. This study presents the conjoint analysis of VLM of the Dubrovnik area (Croatia) derived from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-1 InSAR data available from 2014 onwards, continuous GNSS observations at Dubrovnik site obtained from 2000, and differences of the sea-level change obtained from all available satellite altimeter missions for the Dubrovnik area and tide gauge measurements in Dubrovnik from 1992 onwards. The computed VLM estimates for the overlapping period of three observation methods, i.e., from GNSS observations, sea-level differences, and Sentinel-1 InSAR data, are −1.93±0.38 mm/yr, −2.04±0.22 mm/yr, and −2.24±0.46 mm/yr, respectively.
Psychometric Properties of the Adult Self-Report: Data from over 11,000 American Adults
Authors: Guerrero Michelle , Hoffmann Matt , Pulkki-Råback Laura
Published: October 2020

The first purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of the Adult Self-Report (ASR) via traditional confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and contemporary exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM). The second purpose was to examine the measurement invariance of the ASR subscales across age groups. We used baseline data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study. ASR data from 11,773 participants were used to conduct the CFA and ESEM analyses and data from 11,678 participants were used to conduct measurement invariance testing. Fit indices supported both the CFA and ESEM solutions, with the ESEM solution yielding better fit indices. However, several items in the ESEM solution did not sufficiently load on their intended factors and/or cross-loaded on unintended factors. Results from the measurement invariance analysis suggested that the ASR subscales are robust and fully invariant across subgroups of adults formed on the basis of age (18–35 years vs. 36–59 years). Future research should seek to both CFA and ESEM to provide a more comprehensive assessment of the ASR.

Published: October 2020

Vaccines are among the most vital interventions to control and reduce the morbidity and mortality worldwide. In accessing vaccines, pricing is usually the single most important deciding element. However, there is a scarcity of the literature on the vaccines pricing. The current study aims to review vaccine prices from the published literature and to evaluate factors that impact the pricing of vaccines. The literature (from 2015–2020) was reviewed to identify the original research articles. Systematic searches were conducted across the five databases including, Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus and Springer Link. Literature search yielded 23,626 articles, of which 7351 were screened and 7310 articles were excluded based on title and abstracts relevance. The 41 studies were selected for full text review and 4 studies were found to meet the inclusion criteria. The included studies discussed vaccine prices for childhood vaccines, for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in US, China and in Europe. One study detailed the various scenarios of the HPV vaccines pricing. It was found that recently introduced vaccines have higher prices owing to the involvement of technology and research for their manufacture. However, prices tended to decrease over some maturation in price and by the involvement of Global Alliance for Vaccine Initiative (GAVI) and other allies. The prices of vaccines in China were much lower than the other high-income countries and the prices offered through United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), mainly due to the large scale of demand in China. The affordable prices of vaccines were related to delicate procedures involving multiple stakeholders and a shorter duration of contract. This review systematically evaluated the literature and identified key factors that could impact vaccines pricing. The prices were higher for the newly introduced vaccines into the market. However, with the price maturation, there was a decline in the pricing and affordable prices could be achieved through tender pricing and involvement of GAVI and other allies.
OS AVANÇOS DA CONSCIENTIZAÇÃO A RESPEITO DA COLETA DOS RESÍDUOS SÓLIDOS NA CONSTRUÇÃO CIVIL
Authors: Freitas Gabriel Sousa de , Bulbovas Patricia
Published: October 2020

Este artigo objetiva avaliar, por meio da literatura, os avanços da conscientização a respeito da coleta dos resíduos sólidos na construção civil. Tal avaliação se dá pelo fato que a construção civil é responsável por grande parte da geração de resíduos, sendo um deles o RCC que afeta a economia, a sociedade e o meio ambiente. O engenheiro civil está ligado a geração deste resíduo e é um dos responsáveis pelo descarte de forma adequada. Apesar das normas e leis existentes, nota-se que existe falta de educação ambiental referente ao local de descarte, bem como a falta de uma fiscalização e indicação de local apropriado para evitar o descarte irregular.

The high content of whey acidic protein in rabbit milk makes the gene of this protein a promising candidate for its replacement by the gene of pharmacologically active protein using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The plasmid that contains 5’ and 3’ arms of homology to the rabbit WAP gene was created. A fragment containing a green fluorescent protein gene under the CMV promoter has been integrated into this site. A strategy of making double-stranded cuts in the gene WAP and receiving four pX330 plasmids encoding the endonuclease Cas9 and guide RNAs was developed. The plasmid containing a fragment cmvEGFP was designed for site-specific integration by homologous recombination into the gene WAP to assess the effectiveness of site-specificity of components of the CRISPR/Саѕ9 in vitro.

Published: October 2020

In this communication, anthocyanin-loaded dextran nanoparticles from Clitoria ternatea was synthesized and characterized to test its anti-proliferative activity on the human HepG2 liver cancer cell lines. By using dextran as an encapsulant polymer, the nanoparticles appeared to be spherical, with an average size of 45.5 ± 11 nm. The surface charge of the anthocyanin-loaded dextran nanoparticle was -4.39 mV, which slightly relative to free anthocyanin (-4.46 mV), which indicate good dispersion stabilities. The Fourier transform infrared analysis showed that the anthocyanins from C. ternatea was successfully encapsulated in dextran nanoparticles. Overall, the percentage of drug encapsulation efficiency was 3.03%. Based on the stability test, the anthocyanin-loaded dextran nanoparticle showed significantly better color stability index compared to free anthocyanin, particularly at the presence of light and temperature of 37°C and 50°C. In the anti-proliferation assay on HepG2 liver cancer cell lines, the viability of the cancer cells was significantly reduced after treatment with the anthocyanin-loaded dextran nanoparticle. The anti-proliferation activities of the nanoparticles were significantly better than free anthocyanin. Our findings revealed the ability of the anthocyanin-loaded dextran nanoparticle, in particular from C. ternatea, as an effective anti-proliferative agent against cancer cells. Nanoencapsulation with dextran significantly improve the efficacy and stability of the anthocyanins. Further investigations should be done to evaluate the in vivo efficacy.
Expression and characterization of family 40 Carbohydrate Binding Module (CBM) from Vibrio cholerae Non-O1 sialidase
Authors: Asang Gogula Selvi , Mamat Shadariah , Alias Nadiawati , Kari Asmad
Published: October 2020

Carbohydrate Binding Module (CBM) is a non-catalytic protein domain found in carbohydrate-active enzyme (glycoside hydrolase) and its role is to bring carbohydrates in close proximity to the enzyme catalytic site for complete hydrolysis. The removal of this CBM from most protein domains often leads to reduced enzyme activity and efficiency. In this study, a gene encoding for family 40 CBM from Vibrio cholerae Non-O1 sialidase was cloned and successfully expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) strain. The CBM40 encoded 195 amino acids with 585 bp of nucleotide sequence. The protein was successfully expressed at 18°C when induced with 1 mM IPTG. Maximum expression was achieved at 20 hours after post-induction time. For purification of the protein, an anionic denaturing detergent method was used containing 1% SDS and 0.1% sarkosyl with gradient affinity elution at 50 mM imidazole concentrations. SDS-PAGE analysis of the purified CBM40 protein displayed a protein band with a molecular mass of 21 kDa. Protein characterization showed optimum stability in 100 mM citrate buffer pH 5.5, with the highest Tm value of 40 °C. The protein was stable between pH 5.5–6.2 and able to retain its activity at 27–56°C. The addition of Mn2+ and Mg2+ increased the protein melting temperature to 56°C. Meanwhile, the addition of reagents, such as 1% SDS and 1 M urea increased the protein melting temperature (Tm) to approximately 55°C. Protein stability can be influenced by many factors, including different buffers, pHs, temperatures, ionic strengths, and chemical reagents used in a study. The optimum characterization conditions established would further lead to the discovery of CBM40 protein true potential in enhancing substrate binding affinity and protein-carbohydrate recognition, which underpins its broad applications in biotechnology and protein engineering fields.

¡No estaba muerta, andaba descansando! Notas a la jurisprudencia vinculante y el anatocismo
Authors: Polanco Gutiérrez Carlos Enrique
Published: October 2020

En el presente trabajo se analiza la prohibición de la capitalización de intereses tomando en cuenta reciente jurisprudencia vinculante de la Corte Suprema (Casaciones N.os 5128-2013-Lima y 2402-2012-Lambayeque, Sexto Pleno Casatorio Civil) y Tribunal Constitucional (Resolución en el Expediente N.o 214-2014-PA/TC), cuestionando si dicha prohibición es, como lo señalan los máximos Tribunales, vigente; o si, por el contrario, conforme a la Circular N.o 021-2007-BCRP, expedida por el Banco Central de Reserva y que regula la tasa de interés aplicable a personas ajenas al sistema financiero, la capitalización de intereses está permitida.

En el artículo se efectúa un análisis sobre las contradicciones que se presentan en nuestro sistema jurídico, desde un punto de vista analítico-histórico-doctrinario, y se cuestiona sobre la conveniencia de iniciar un debate para derogar, modificar o no el art. 1249 del Código Civil que prohíbe el anatocismo, considerando que tal norma perjudicaría no solo al deudor, sino también al acreedor, al encarecer el crédito entre particulares.

Published: October 2020

Kebaya merupakan blus tradisional yang dikenakan oleh wanita Indonesia yang terbuat dari bahan tipis yang dikenakan dengan kain kamen atau pakaian rajutan tradisional lainnya dengan kain motif warna-warni. Hampir setiap momen tertentu dalam upacara keagamaan atau adat di Bali tidak lepas dari pemakaian kebaya. Dengan meningkatnya kebutuhan kebaya yang tidak diiringi dengan pertumbuhan fasilitas edukasi yang terintegrasi sehingga masyarakat banyak yang tidak memahami makna hingga bahan-bahan yang digunakan dalam pengerjaan kebaya. Hal tersebut dapat menyebabkan pemakaian kebaya akan tergerus ke modernitas, sejalan dengan pendapat Rahmi Hidayati (Pegiat Komunitas Perempuan Berkebaya Indonesia) bahwa tidak banyak masyarakat yang mengenakan kebaya dalam rutinitas sehari-hari dan kebaya lebih banyak digunakan saat melangsungkan upacara adat. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa masyarakat saat ini tidak banyak yang mengenakan kebaya pada kegiatan sehari-hari sehingga kebaya kurang dilestarikan, dan membutuhkan adanya sebuah tempat proses pembuatan kebaya Bali, dimulai dari tempat pemilihan kain, proses menjahit sehingga menjadi sebuah kebaya dan sebuah tempat untuk menampung para penjahit tradisional serta dapat memberikan hiburan berupa pagelaran kebaya tradisional agar kebaya Bali tetap terjaga kelestariannya. Sehingga dalam perancangan ini akan berfokus pada perancangan interior galeri kebaya Bali di Kota Denpasar dan untuk menjawab dari kebutuhan perancangan interior galeri kebaya bali kali ini, maka tema yang dipakai adalah “Lily of The Valley” dan konsep “French Neoclassial“. Tujuan pemilihan tema konsep ini adalah ingin memberikan suasana galeri kebaya yang klasik dengan sentuhan pola lily of the valley yang menyerupai salah satu motif brokat Prancis.

O SÉCULO DA ENFERMAGEM

Published: October 2020

Já se passaram mais de 200 anos do advento da enfermagem moderna, e apesar de tanto tempo, volta e meia passamos por situações desafiadoras e inimagináveis. Mas, em tempos que profissões centenárias perecem e novas surgem, o que será de nós? Apesar de estarmos sendo reconhecidos em 2020, por meio da comemoração do ano internacional da Enfermagem pela Organização Mundial da Saúde, seremos futuramente esquecidos, ou reconhecidas pela história?Antes de respondermos a essas questões, é importante revisitarmos os dados sobre o perfil da enfermagem no Brasil, que apontam que a nossa profissão é formada majoritariamente por mulheres, pretos e pardos. Populações que, historicamente, vivem a desigualdade, o preconceito e, porque não dizer, a miséria social em seu sentido mais amplo.Sabendo disso, cabe à geração atual de enfermeiros se empoderar sobre a sua própria história, para que possamos modificar o futuro e reparar as mazelas e injustiças do passado. Que os nossos profissionais passem a reconhecer figuras históricas da enfermagem como Mary Jane Seacole, cujo passado foi esquecido por muito tempo, pois apesar de todos os seus esforços na guerra da Crimeia, foi recusada na equipe de Florence pelo simples fato de ser negra. Isso mostra que está na hora de escrevermos uma história mais justa, para que não sejamos acometidos pelos mesmos erros do passado.Diante disso, será que ainda seguimos negligenciando, sem perceber, pessoas que seriam capazes de mudar o que hoje conhecemos como enfermagem? Será que nos calam, ou pior, nós nos deixamos calar sobre o que podemos ou não fazer em relação a nossa própria profissão? Será que foi necessária uma pandemia para que finalmente fossemos reconhecidos como essenciais por um serviço que realizamos, como ciência, há 200 anos? Tal mudança só poderá ocorrer quando lutarmos e nos empoderarmos enquanto uma ciência profissional essencial; e esperamos que não demore mais 200 anos para que isso ocorra. Essa luta e empoderamento nos colocará a frente de desafios, que não serão mais difíceis do que vivemos em nosso passado de resistências a retrocesso, mas que poderão ser, de uma vez por todas, a nossa maior contribuição para o fortalecimento da profissão, e o desenvolvimento sustentável da população global. Também esperamos que, no futuro, você leitor não tenha que se deparar com nenhuma das problemáticas levantadas nesse texto, e que seja somente um texto sobre o quanto éramos ocupados demais com tantas responsabilidades da profissão, e que, por isso, tenha nos faltado um pouquinho de tempo para maior engajamento para chegarmos onde você chegou. Mas, caso você tenha se identificado, você é responsável por essa mudança, por isso, dê o pontapé inicial no seu trabalho, faça pesquisas e responda problemas, seja sempre referência onde quer que você vá, e não deixe se abalar por nada. A nossa Enfermagem depende do agora. Esperamos que esse ano de reconhecimento da enfermagem vire um século de comemorações.

Authors: Corrêa Neto O. B. , Silva W. C. M. , Santiago G. F. , Filho O. B. Q. Oliveira
Published: October 2020

Hydraulic energy is the main source of Brazilian electric energy, responsible for approximately 80% of national production. Therefore, this article aims to determine the evaporation of the reservoir and the water footprint (PH) of the Coaracy Nunes hydroelectric plant (UHE) in Amapá. The average daily evaporation of 2013 was the one with the lowest value, 4.87 mm/day, while 2012 indicated the highest average, 5.00 mm day. Evaporation ranged from 110 to 180 mm/month, and February has lower values, between 110 and 125 mm/month. The highest values occurred between September and December, with emphasis on October with a maximum of 180 mm/month. The monthly evaporated volume showed the highest value in October and November, above 3900000 m3. And the month of February had the lowest consumption, on average 2700000 m3. There was also a predominance of lower PH values between January and May, partly being the period of greatest energy generation. And the highest PH occurred in November, the month with the lowest energy generation. The PH showed higher values between October and December, with a maximum value in November, 53.08 m3/GJ. The average PH was 25.3 m3/GJ, above the world average, which represents an inefficiency of the HPP in terms of power generation and PH. With the results, it is concluded that the evaporation by Linacre is relevant and agrees with the behavior of the climate in Amapá. And the PH values present an important tool in the evaluation of hydroelectric projects and in the management of water resources.

Published: October 2020

The different integrated production systems can directly interfere with its bacterial community. The present study aimed to assess density, bacterial diversity and the influence of dry and rainy season in different integrated and an exclusive production system. The fallow and a native forest area was assessed to. Samples were collected in 2012 March and September. The isolation were carried out into Petri dishes containing DYGS medium. The number of colony forming units (CFU) was counted after 48 hours and. The bacterial density ranged between 106 and 107 CFU g-1 soil. The crop system affected the dynamics of the bacterial community only in the rainy season. The rainy season showed greater density of total bacteria when compared to the dry period regardless of the cropping system. The dendrograms with 80 % similarity showed thirteen and fourteen groups in the rainy and dry seasons. Isolates with the capacity to solubilize phosphate in vitro were obtained from all areas in the two seasons, but this feature has been prevalent in bacteria isolated during the rainy season
A conceptual digital business model for construction logistics consultants, featuring a sociomaterial blockchain solution for integrated economic, material and information flows
Authors: Kifokeris Dimosthenis , Koch Christian
Published: October 2020

In this paper, a new digital business model for independent construction logistics consultants, which features the conceptualization of a sociomaterial blockchain solution for integrated information, material and economic flows, is proposed. Theoretically, we offer an understanding of the economic flow, stress the optimization of construction logistics through flow integration, analyse current approaches to understanding blockchain, adopt sociomateriality to envision a suitable blockchain solution, and consider the way blockchain can constitute part of the value proposition of a related digital business model. Methodologically, we systematically reviewed the literature on blockchain-related construction research, and conducted empirical studies on independent logistics consultants in the Swedish context for more than a year. On the one hand, the literature review reveals that core blockchain properties can generate value for construction logistics (e.g. shared ledger structure and reduction of accounting rework) – however, apart from visions and prototypes, there currently exist no use cases, and potential implementational constraints and security issues are limitedly considered. One the other hand, the empirical findings show that independent construction logistics consultants in the sociomaterial Swedish context are suitable candidates for the proposed digital business model. By combining the literature and empirical insights, a permissioned private proof-of-authority blockchain solution integrating the supply chain flows in a generic sociomaterial setting is conceptualized. This solution is then embedded in the value proposition of a digital business model for an independent construction logistics consultant. The proposition includes, among others, improved process management and increased productivity, while the consultants’ competitive advantage through innovation is facilitated. Other business model segments, like key resources, are also updated via the blockchain solution, while some, like channels, are not significantly affected. To not hinder the realization of this digital business model, issues like the lack of blockchain awareness, and the existing power balances within sociomaterial constellations, have to be addressed.

Introduction: An increased BMI in diabetic patients has been associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease and life-frightening events.
Aim: The study is to work out a special mode of combined exercise aimed specifically at improving the endothelial function in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Materials and Methods: Total of 60 persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity aged from 50 to 60 years were enrolled in the study. They were subdivided into two groups: 1st group included 30 patients who were prescribed hypocaloric diet; 2nd group – 30 patients with hypocaloric diet and physical exercise. Training program consisted of moderate-intensity anaerobic/aerobic and relaxation exercises for 50 minutes daily, 5 times a week.
Results: Diet regimen in the 1st group leads to increasing the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) by 26,8%; in combination with physical activity FMD in the 2nd group - 53,1%. The significant reduction in waist circumference index after intervention is observed in the 2nd group (5,94%), which is almost twice more than in the 1st group (2,38%). The insignificant changes were recorded for the BMI dynamic after treatment in both the 1st and 2nd group: Δ% – 0,88 and Δ% – 1,28, respectively. Significantly moderate straight correlation was demonstrated between the FMD and waist circumference (r = – 0,45 in the 2nd group and r = – 0,37 in the 1st group).
Conclusions: Differences between groups testify more rapid effect in the patients with the multimodal physical program both anthropometric indexes and biochemical parameters, followed by more significant improvement of FMD after using of multimodal physical program.

Introduction: Whole body cryotherapy with kinesitherapy can potentially improve the everyday functioning of patients. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of whole body cryotherapy on the pain perception and functional efficiency of patients with pain syndromes in a different age and to assess the occurrence of adverse effects during treatment.
Material and Methods: The study involved 40 patients with pain syndromes aged between 24 and 73 divided into 2 groups: group I (younger) up to 55 years old and group II (older) over 55 years old. The subjects underwent a series of 10 treatments of cryotherapy. The following tests were used to assess functional performance and pain: FTSST (Five Times Sit- to- Stand Test), TUG (Timed Up and Go Test), VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) Modified Pain Questionnaire according to Laitinen.
Results: In the group I: the intensity of pain on the VAS scale was reduced after the first treatment (p=0.003); after a series of 10 treatments improvement in pain scales (VAS: p = 0.001, Laitinen Questionnaire: p = 0.002) and functional tests (TUG: p = 0.002, FTSST: p <0.001) was obtained. In the group II: improvement in pain perception at VAS scale after first treatment (p = 0.01) was achieved and after a series of 10 treatments, functional improvement (TUG: p = 0.006, FTSST: p <0.001) and in results in pain scales (VAS: p = 0.04, Laitinen questionnaire: p = 0.05) was obtained.
Conclusions: Whole body cryotherapy with kinesitherapy contribute to the reduction of pain after only a single exposure, and after a series of 10 treatments occur to improve performance of functional tests. Cryotherapy may be associated with adverse effects, which are relatively rare, disappear quickly and do not endanger the life or health of patients. The age of patients has no significant effect on the final outcomes of therapy and on the occurrence of adverse effects.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Lumbar back pain (LBP) is still a frequent health problem. LBP decreases quality of life in many domains, including physical, social and mental. It was proved in previous studies that LB massage has a significant impact on pain reduction. Träbert current (TC) is common physical modality used in LBP treatment.
Aim: The aim of study was to assess the effectiveness of manual massage in comparison to TC in patients with LBP.
Materal and Methods: 60 patients with LBP were enrolled. The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups: massage (I=30) and TC (II=30) therapy. The procedures were performed for ten days. The pain intensity was assessed by Numerical Rating Scale. Quality of life and the degree of disability were evaluated by Oswestry Disability Index and Roland-Morris Questionnaire.
Results: In both groups pain reduction and functional improvement were observed after therapy. However, better results were observed in group I.
Conclusion: Both of the studied LBP treatment modalities have positive effect in studied groups, however manual massage seems to be more efficient.
Introduction: Decolonial Processes in Swiss Academia and Cultural Institutions
Authors: Siegenthaler Fiona , Allain Bonilla Marie-laure
Published: October 2020

This introduction discusses aspects of decolonial processes and their relevance with regard to Swiss cultural institutions and higher education by presenting key concepts of decolonial thinking such as coloniality, modernity and de-linking. Boaventura de Sousa Santos’s suggestions for decolonising Western universities are juxtaposed with actual decolonial processes taking place in different academic, (art) education and museum settings in Switzerland and abroad, and their political dimensions are scrutinised. The introduction concludes by presenting current debates, research projects and suggestions for practical implementation, as reflected in the contributions to the Special Issue.
Research note: Does the public support fact-checking social media? It depends who and how you ask
Authors: Rich Timothy S. , Milden Ian , Wagner Mallory Treece
Published: October 2020

We analyze original survey data on support for social media companies’ fact-checking of politicians in general and President Trump in particular. We find overwhelming majorities of Democrats sup-port fact-checking in both instances, while a majority of Republicans support fact-checking of politicians in general but not of President Trump. Moreover, we find those concerned about contracting COVID-19 are more likely to support fact-checks. Rather than viewing fact-checks as a cure-all, we argue the importance of acknowledging their limitations and identifying when and on whom ef-forts may be effective.

From the perspective of the influence of schooling on the use of language, the main objective of this work is to propose a methodology for the study of this influence from the perspective of multidimensional analysis. What is proposed is to use Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) together with linguistic variables. This methodology maintains consistency with linguistic distance and can be used to quantify variational dimensions in addition to identifying linguistic elements. For this purpose, the elements of the corpus (based on the EAS corpus) elaborated with the standard language and dialectal speech of speakers of two generations (adults and young people) and of four towns from the Arratia valley (Dima, Lemoa, Zeanuri and Zeberio) have been compared and analysed. The data have shown that the speech of the young people of Arratia is closer to the standard than the speech of adults. Therefore, the linguistic distance is greater between adults and the standard than between young people and the standard.
Theatre as a Communicative Strategy for Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Primary Education Undergraduates: A Pedagogical Experience
Authors: Soler Pardo Betlem
Published: October 2020

As language teachers we are constantly trying to establish a suitable atmosphere in which communication skills can be fully developed through activities or exercises which involve a stimulus, as a language is learnt more easily when the elements used to teach are more appealing. Theatre can perform this role as it is an educational tool that has been explored for the instructions of languages since the emergence of the Communicative Approach.
The purpose of this article is twofold: firstly, to examine the effectiveness of theatre in general with reference to the numerous arguments in favour of using this didactic tool in the classroom. Secondly, to draw attention to the benefits and challenges of using theatre to teach a foreign language at university level by presenting the performance of eight plays based on popular tales in the classroom through a series of practical activities using the task-based learning methodology.

Intramuscular administration of wild-type baculovirus is able to both protect againstPlasmodiumsporozoite challenge and eliminate liver-stage parasites via a Toll-like receptor 9-independent pathway. To investigate its effector mechanism(s), the gene expression profile in the liver of baculovirus-administered mice was characterized by cDNA microarray analysis. The ingenuity pathway analysis gene ontology module revealed that the major gene subsets induced by baculovirus were immune-related signaling, such as interferon signaling. A total of 40 genes commonly upregulated in a Toll-like receptor 9-independent manner were included as possible candidates for parasite elimination. This gene subset consisted of NT5C3, LOC105246895, BTC, APOL9a/b, G3BP3, SLC6A6, USP25, TRIM14, and PSMB8 as the top 10 candidates according to the special unit. These findings provide new insight into effector molecules responsible for liver-stage parasite killing and, possibly, the development of a new baculovirus-mediated prophylactic and therapeutic biopharmaceutical for malaria.
