CLAUSAL ADJUNCTS OF ROMANCE LANGUAGES – A CORPUS-DRIVEN COMPARISON –
Authors: BODOC Alice
Published: April 2022

Clausal Adjuncts of Romance Languages – a Corpus-Driven Comparison. Continuing the traditional comparative analysis of Romance languages, the present paper brings evidence for the fact that the syntactic configuration (the word order) of a Romance complex sentence (henceforth CS) with clausal adjuncts is the result of many competing forces. The analysis is based on an original media discourse corpus, collected from three Romance varieties (Romanian, Italian, and French), and the focus will be both on the word order of the temporal, causal, and concessive adjuncts (their occurrence in sentence-initial, in sentence-final position, sometimes even in sentence-middle position), and on the comparative analysis of the results. What I intend to prove is that the ordering of a CS in the three Romance languages is motivated by three types of factors: discourse pragmatics, semantics, and parsing.

REZUMAT. Adjuncții propoziționali din limbile romanice – o analiză de corpus din perspectivă comparativă. Continuând tradiția analizelor comparative dedicate limbilor romanice, lucrarea de față își propune să prezinte o serie de dovezi în favoarea ipotezei potrivit căreia configurația sintactică (ordinea constituenților) a structurilor sintactice complexe cu adjuncți din limbile romanice este rezultatul mai multor forțe concurente. Analiza are la bază un corpus original de texte aparținând discursului mediatic contemporan, colectat din trei varietăți romanice (limba română, limba italiană și limba franceză) și se concentrează, pe de o parte, asupra descrierii poziției adjuncților temporali, cauzali și concesivi (de la începutul, sfârșitul sau chiar din mijlocul structurii sintactice complexe), iar, pe de altă parte, asupra comparării rezultatelor obținute în cazul celor trei limbi investigate. Scopul unui astfel de demers este de a demonstra că topica acestor structuri este motivată, atât în limba română, cât și în celelalte două limbi-surori, de trei tipuri de factori: pragmatico-discursivi, semantici și morfosintactici.

ON THE USE OF COMPLEMENTISERS IN ISTRO-ROMANIAN
Authors: Ramona Cătălina CORBEANU  , Ionuț GEANĂ
Published: April 2022

On the Use of Complementisers in Istro-Romanian. This article deals with the description of certain aspects of the complementiser system in Istro-Romanian (hereinafter IR), a severely endangered Romance variety. The prototypical IR complementisers are ke (‘that’), neca (subjunctive marker), and in rarer occurrences se (‘that/if’). Their main features are their high degree of heterogeneity, as well as their occurrence in various syntactic configurations that either makes IR pattern with Daco-Romanian (its closest sister), or sets IR apart across Romance. Our analysis is carried out on a corpus made of: Traian Cantemir’s Texte istroromâne (data collected during 1932-1933), Sextil Pușcariu’s Studii istroromâne. Texte I (1906-1926), Sârbu, R., V. Frățilă’s Dialectul istroromân (1982-1996). Among the situations at which we will take a closer look, we should mention the occurrence of the complementiser ke ‘that’ in places where Daco-Romanian and other Romance varieties would not use it or would use it differently.

REZUMAT. Observații privind complementizatorii din istroromână. Articolul de față își propune să descrie anumite aspecte privitoare la sistemul complementizatorilor din istroromână (numită în continuare IR), o varietate romanică orientală pe cale de dispariție. Complementizatorii prototipici din istroromână sunt ke ‘că’, neca ‘să’, și – mai rar – se ‘să’. Principalele caracteristici ale acestora privesc gradul ridicat de eterogenitate, precum și prezența în configurații sintactice dintre cele mai variate, care fie le apropie de uzul din dacoromână („sora” cea mai apropiată), fie le izolează în contextul romanic mai larg. Analiza noastră se bazează pe un corpus alcătuit din: Texte istroromâne de Traian Cantemir (date culese între 1932-1933), Studii istroromâne. Texte I de Sextil Pușcariu (1906-1926), Dialectul istroromân de R. Sârbu și V. Frățilă (date culese între 1982-1996). Printre situațiile asupra cărora ne vom apleca în mod deosebit, menționăm apariția complementizatorului ke ‘că’, în contexte în care dacoromâna sau alte limbi romanice nu l-ar folosi sau l-ar întrebuinţa diferit.

Published: April 2022

Consonant Epenthesis in the Dialect of Teramo. This contribution deals with the process of consonant epenthesis typical of the Southern dialects of Italy, focusing on Abruzzese. Based on corpus data of the dialect spoken in Teramo, it tackles issues concerning the quality of epenthetic segments and its relationship with the process of lenition of velar plosives, also typical of the dialectal area. The synchronic status of the two processes is also addressed, as well as the status of the utterance-initial position in the dialect. Finally, a discussion about the distribution of the different epenthetic segments is sketched.

Published: April 2022

On Routines, Drifts and Variation in Spanish-American Historical Morphosyntax. This work is a theoretical approach in which, in the first place, we set out and discuss the key points that will serve to establish the identification of the main characteristics that a Hispano-American historical grammar would have. Secondly, it offers an attempt to resituate Hispano-American historical grammar in a new perspective and possible lines of research. Thus, the specificities of historical American morphosyntax within Spanish morphosyntax will be presented in order to point out, by way of synthesis, the patterns that would characterize or define the American aspect of morphosyntax in its historical constitution. These will be presented here, by way of analogy, with the terms of routine, drift and variation.

RELECTURE D’EURYDICE ET D’ORPHÉE DANS "L’EMPREINTE DE L’ANGE" DE NANCY HUSTON
Authors: POP Teodora Maria
Published: April 2022

Rereading the Myth of Eurydice and Orpheus in Nancy Huston’s Novel L’empreinte de l’ange. Perpetual and versatile, the myth of Orpheus is presented with new interpretations in each literary exploration of its complex symbolism. This paper aims to examine Canadian writer Nancy Huston's novel L’empreinte de l’ange from a mythocritical standpoint, revolving around a contemporary feminist reading of the myth of Orpheus. As such, our analysis observes the myth's transfigurations by means of a psychoanalytic framework targeted at the female protagonist, as well as in relation to the two Orphic couples present in the novel: Saffie-Raphaël and Saffie-András. This study focuses on the progress of the female protagonist in comparison to the mythical evolution of the nymph Eurydice.

Fenomenología de la experiencia del mal Hacia una comprensión de la sospecha de la intención
Authors: Chillón José Manuel
Published: April 2022

Se investiga en este trabajo la posibilidad de hacer una fenomenología de la experiencia del mal gradualmente considerada desde la más conspicua consideración del acto criminal, hasta los comportamientos más sutiles en relación con la maldad. Se apunta, además, que uno de estos niveles de maldad menos evidentes podría acontecer en lo que aquí se denomina sospecha de la intención que se define como el intento de intromisión en la libertad interna del otro. Se observa así la fertilidad del trabajo fenomenológico para el tratamiento interdisciplinar de la conducta humana.
Defensa del deflacionismo no conservativo
Authors: Muntaabski Bruno
Published: April 2022

El deflacionismo en torno a la verdad afirma que una teoría completa de esta noción no debe atender a una naturaleza subyacente a la misma, sino al uso que se hace de ella. Pero la viabilidad de esta postura filosófica ha sido puesta en duda en la literatura por el “argumento de la conservatividad” (Murzi y Rossi, 2020) avanzado originalmente por Shapiro (1998). El presente trabajo propone una respuesta a dicho argumento, en términos de la defensa de un deflacionismo compatible con la no-conservatividad de una teoría formal de la verdad.
Light and heavy ferritin chain expression in the liver and kidneys of Wistar rats: aging, sex differences, and impact of gonadectomy
Authors: Vulinović Mirela Pavić , Turčić Petra , Micek Vedran , Ljubojević Marija
Published: April 2022

Ferritin is the main intracellular storage of iron. Animal studies show that female liver and kidney express more ferritin and accumulate more iron than male. However, no study so far has investigated sex and age differences in light (FtL) and heavy (FtH) ferritin chain expression. To address this, we relied on specific antibodies and immunochemical methods to analyse the expression of both ferritin chains in the liver and kidney of 3-month and 2-year-old male and female Wistar rats. To see how sex hormones may affect expression we also studied adult animals gonadectomised at the age of 10 weeks. FtL and FtH were more expressed in both organs of female rats, while gonadectomy increased the expression in males and decreased it in females, which suggests that it is stimulated by female and inhibited by male steroid hormones. Normal kidney ferritin distribution and change with aging warrant more attention in studies of (patho) physiological and toxicological processes.

Published: April 2022

This paper focuses on the effect of the current COVID-19 global pandemic on the education system, namely on Mechanical Engineering courses offered at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. A brief description of the responsive measures adopted is presented regarding the necessary adaptations to distance learning because of law-enforced social distancing and public hygiene measures. Short surveys were answered by both students and faculty members to evaluate their opinion on this topic. Analogous questions on these surveys allowed for the direct comparison of their perspectives. A statistical analysis of students’ final marks on all lectured courses was also implemented, which provided insight as to whether distance learning and assessment methods have had significant impact on their performance. This study showed that the pandemic had a significant impact, affecting students and professors.
A revitalisation of virtue ethics in contemporary education
Authors: Drabarek Anna
Published: April 2022

In this article I will discuss employing the classical prescripts of Aristotle’s virtue ethics in education as a guide for youth education. For Aristotle, the practice of virtues was not a goal in itself, since virtues are dispositions which may be revealed in various acts reflecting human perfection. Virtues tell us how to act to achieve a particular goal. The ethics of virtue highlights the love of good and perfection. The attitude of a justly proud man consists, among other things, in approving of what is good; at the same time, however, he strives towards selfsufficiency. Self-improvement, which emphasises self-sufficiency, often becomes behaviour that can, unfortunately, generate standoffishness, arrogance, and egotism.
Geistlosigkeit. Reflexionen zur Aktualität von Søren Kierkegaards Konstruktion des Selbst im Spannungsfeld von Immanenz und Transzendenz
Authors: Hüsch Sebastian
Published: April 2022

Spiritlessness. Reflections on the topicality of Søren Kierkegaard’s construction of the self in the field of tension between immanence and transcendence: One of the most suggestive and provocative concepts developed by the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard is the concept of “spiritlessness”. Spiritlessness is conceived of as a state of mind which cuts out transcendent possibilities at the benefice of reduced immanent probabilities and thus hinders the individual to become a true Self. The present paper asks for the topicality of Kierkegaard’s dialectics of “spirit” and “spiritlessness” for the constitution of the Self in the 21st cntury.
O relevo dos municípios no Programa de Recuperação e Resiliência em Portugal
Authors: Oliveira Fernanda Paula
Published: April 2022

Este texto tiene como objetivo evaluar el papel que juegan los municipios portugueses en el Programa de Recuperación y Resiliencia, en tres dimensiones: (i) en la definición e identificación de reformas e inversiones a realizar; (ii) en la ejecución de dichas inversiones, es decir, como beneficiarios de las mismas, y, finalmente (iii) en la gestión/gobernanza de este mecanismo. Este tema cobra sentido si tenemos en cuenta la configuración de los municipios en el marco constitucional y legal portugués y el reconocimiento expreso de su importancia política, administrativa y jurídica, como lo demuestra el proceso de descentralización que tuvo lugar en Portugal en los últimos tres años. No obstante, esta importancia, lo cierto es que la conclusión a la que hemos llegado es que el PRR portugués traduce una visión y una gestión totalmente centralizada. De hecho, en contra del proceso de descentralización administrativa en curso y en contra del objetivo estratégico de aumentar el peso de la Administración Local en los ingresos públicos, la PRR es centralizado, tanto en su gestión como en las prioridades de intervención seleccionadas.
La riforma della pubblica amministrazione nel Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR) italiano
Authors: D'Alessio Gianfranco
Published: April 2022

Il PNRR italiano, approvato il 13 luglio 2021 dal Consiglio dell’Unione europea, prevede la realizzazione di 134 investimenti, da finanziare con i fondi massi a disposizione dell’Italia nell’ambito del NGEU, che assommano a ben 235,1 miliardi di euro (compresi 30,6 miliardi di un fondo nazionale). Nel PNRR sono comprese 63 riforme, due delle quali hanno un carattere «orizzontale», in quanto riferite a tutte le missioni nelle quali si articola il Piano: quelle della pubblica amministrazione e del sistema giudiziario. In particolare, la riforma amministrativa riguarda quattro settori / materie: il reclutamento del personale, la semplificazione dei procedimenti, il miglioramento delle competenze dei dipendenti e la valorizzazione delle stesse; la digitalizzazione. Le previsioni del PNRR sull’aumento della capacità amministrativa hanno già ricevuto una consistente attuazione nella legislazione, specie per quanto riguarda le risorse umane. Il successo degli interventi previsti dal PNRR dovrebbe porre le basi per una più ampia trasformazione e innovazione del sistema amministrativo italiano, superando le carenze attualmente presenti.

Literatura y educación femenina: el caso de Leticia Valle
Authors: De Ancos Morales Beatriz
Published: April 2022

El propósito de este artículo es analizar, a través del relato de Rosa Chacel Memorias de Leticia Valle el proceso educativo de una joven preadolescente en contextos formales y no formales en la España de la primera década del s. XX. El comportamiento del personaje femenino evidencia al lector a lo largo de este relato que una educación intelectual no es suficiente para la maduración de la personalidad; debe ir acompañada de un adecuado cultivo de la dimensión afectiva, de la comunicación interpersonal en un ambiente de confianza y de la comprensión de los posibles conflictos interiores para resolverlos durante su crecimiento. Asimismo, el texto narrativo de Rosa Chacel refleja que una relación equilibrada entre educador y educando constituye la base del éxito en la enseñanza-aprendizaje. Como conclusión del análisis de la novela y de su personaje femenino protagonista, consideramos que los textos literarios pueden convertirse para el docente en un medio excelente para mostrar modelos educativos que sirvan de análisis y referente para la educación integral del alumno en la escuela del s. XXI.
«Siempre has escrito cosas honestas»: el teatro de Lucía Carballal (2006- 2020)
Authors: Sánchez Hernández Pablo
Published: April 2022

The playwright from Madrid Lucía Carballal (1984) has started achieving a great relevance in Spaniard theatrical circuits. This article aims to analyze her published plays from 2006 to nowadays, for drawing her poetic’s different characteristics. To acomplished this task I have aproach her plays from three levels of sense. Firstly, the formal level, whose main characteristic is her poetic theatre and its link with new realisms; secondly, the thematic level, in which stands out her social critique; and, thirdly, the stage level, in which can be seen her colective understanding on theatre. In this way, it is created a complete conceptual map of the author’s dramatic creation.

Widespread Occurrence of Non-Extractable Fluorine in Artificial Turfs from Stockholm, Sweden
Authors: Lauria Mélanie , Naim Ayman , Plassmann Merle , Fäldt Jenny , Sühring Roxana , Benskin Jonathan
Published: April 2022

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are frequently used in the production of rubber and plastic, but little is known about the identity, concentration, or prevalence of PFAS in these products. In this study, a representative sample of plastic- and rubber-containing artificial turf (AT) fields from Stockholm, Sweden, were subjected to total fluorine (TF), extractable organic fluorine (EOF) and target PFAS analysis. TF was observed in all 51 AT samples (range: 16-313, 12-310, and 24-661 µg F/g in backing, filling, and blades, respectively), while EOF and target PFAS occurred in <42% of all samples (<200 and <1 ng F/g, respectively). A subset of samples extracted with water confirmed the absence of fluoride. Moreover, application of the total oxidizable precursor assay revealed negligible perfluoroalkyl acid (PFAA) formation across all three sample types, indicating that the fluorinated substance(s) in AT are not low molecular weight PFAA-precursors. Collectively, these results point towards polymeric organofluorine (e.g. fluoroelastomer, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride), consistent with patent literature. The combination of poor extractability and recalcitrance towards advanced oxidation suggests that the fluorine in AT does not pose an imminent risk to users. However, concerns remain surrounding the production and end-of-life of ATs, as well as the contribution of filling to environmental microplastic contamination.
Fully degradable polymer networks from conventional radical polymerization of vinyl monomers enabled by thionolactone addition
Authors: Elliss Harry , Dawson Frances , un Nisa Qamar , Bingham Nathaniel , Roth Peter , Kopeć Maciej
Published: April 2022

We report the preparation of degradable polymer networks by conventional free radical copolymerization of n-butyl acrylate with a crosslinker (1 mol%) and dibenzo[c,e]oxepane-5-thione (DOT) as a strand-cleaving comonomer. Addition of only 4 mol% of DOT imparts the synthesized networks with full degradability by aminolysis, whereas gels with less DOT (2-3 mol%) cannot be degraded, in excellent agreement with the recently proposed reverse gel-point model. Importantly, even though DOT significantly slows down the polymerization and delays gelation, it has a minimal effect on physical properties of the networks such as shear storage modulus, equilibrium swelling ratio, glass transition temperature or thermal stability.
A Ruthenium Arene Complex with Central, Planar and Axial Chirality
Authors: Fu Xuegang , Yan Yuting , E Siyu , Huang Jianhui
Published: April 2022

The preparations of organometallic molecules have provided new philosophy in molecular science. The synthesis of these molecules featured in easy construction, modification and broad chemical space coverage comparing to the access of carbon centered compounds. The stereochemistry of these molecules have long been the great challenge due to the large atom radius therefore more outer sphere electrons give rise to more valency. Transition metals centered molecules in particular become the new summit for the studies of these molecules with respect to the design, synthesis and analysis. We herein report the construction and resolution of a number of ruthenium piano-stool shaped complexes, and stability studies of these complexes. Furthermore, 5 conformational isomers were detected in complex 16, the rotate barrier between the two conformations was around 3 kcal/mol. These results have provided new evidences for the design of molecules with specific fine stereochemical information for potential applications in medicinal and material chemistry.
Designing Geometric Degrees of Freedom in ReO3-Type Coordination Polymers
Authors: Burger Stefan , Hemmer Karina , Mayer David C. , Vervoorts Pia , Daisenberger Dominik , Zareba Jan K. , Kieslich Gregor
Published: April 2022

Engineering the interplay of structural degrees of freedom that couple to external stimuli such as temperature and pressure is a powerful approach for material design. New structural degrees of freedom expand the potential of the concept, and coordination polymers as a chemically versatile material platform offer fascinating possibilities to adress this challenge. Here we introduce a new class of hierarchically organized, perovskite-like AB2X6 coordination polymers based on a [BX3]- ReO3-type host network ([Mn(C2N3)3]-), in which the spatial orientation of divalent A2+ cations with separated charge centers that bridge adjacent ReO3-cavities ([R3N(CH2)nNR3]2+) is introduced as a new geometric degree of freedom. Herringbone and head-to-tail order pattern of [R3N(CH2)nNR3]2+ cations are obtained by varying the separator length n and, together with distortions of the pseudocubic [BX3]- network, they determine the materials’ stimuli-responsive behavior such as counterintuitive large negative compressibility and uniaxial negative thermal expansion. This new family of coordination polymers highlights the chemists’ capabilities of designing matter on a molecular level to address macroscopic material functionality and underpins the opportunities of the design of structural degrees of freedom as a conceptual framework for rational material synthesis in the future.

The Covid 19 pandemic has had many impacts on various sectors of human life. The education sector is also feeling the effects of the pandemic that hit almost all parts of the world. Learning that initially takes place in the classroom turns into online learning. This article was written using a literature study approach. The data obtained comes from similar articles from various sources in national journals. The use of discovery learning models in online learning can be done in many ways. For example: the teacher gives a picture of the problem to the student to be examined comprehensively. After students can find and think deeply about the material with the attachment of discovery learning. Of course, the material conveyed through the picture must be creative in order to match the character of students' curiosity. In addition, the delivery of material can be delivered by utilizing the LMS (Learning Management System) platform, such as: edmodo, schoology, google classroom and so on. This learning design aims to make students have an attitude of resilience to the covid 19 pandemic that is sweeping around the world today.

Surgery of combined anal and rectal diseases requires an unconventional tactics and methods of treatment of these pathologies, which provide minimal impact on tissues, preventing postoperative complications. The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of new radiosurgical and electrosurgical technologies in the treatment of combined anal and rectal diseases by analyzing the clinical course of the postoperative period and the impact of these energy devices on the morphostructure of operated tissues. The results of treatment of 747 patients with combined anal and rectal diseases divided into four research groups and control group have been analyzed. In the first research group 169 (22,6%) patients with electrosurgery device “ERBE ICC 200” have been operated on in the second research group – 114 (15,3%) patients with  electrosurgery device "EFA", in the third research group – 107 (14,3%) patients – with electrosurgery device "KLS Martin" and in the fourth research group – 245 (32,8%) patients with radiosurgery device "Surgitron". The control group consisted of 112 (14,9%) patients operated with a surgical scalpel. After surgery 30 patients from each study group underwent morphological investigation of rectal and anal tissues for measurement of the thickness of  thermal impacts on them, which was performed using an eyepiece-micrometer scale. Due to the minimal and insignificant impact on the tissues during application of electrosurgery devices “KLS Martin”, “EFA” and “ERBE ICC 200”, as well as radiosurgery device "Surgitron", there were detected neither scar anal strictures in any of the four study groups, nor scarring deformities of the pararectal areas, which contributed to the cosmetic nature of the combined operations and caused rapid rehabilitation of patients in the study groups. In the control group in 2 (2%) patients the formation of scar anal stricture was diagnosed, which required conservative (1 patient) and operative (1 patient) measures to eliminate them. Using modern radiosurgery and electrosurgery technologies for treatment of combined anal and rectal diseases reduces the operation duration, volume of bleeding and intensity of the postoperative pain. Application of these above technologies prevents the occurance of anal strictures and scar pararectal deformations.

Asthma (As) and metabolic disturbances are widespread and socially significant states, obesity (Ob) being also one of them. The comorbidity of As and Ob both affects physiological mechanisms of bronchial obstruction syndrome, the course and prognosis of these two diseases and significantly complicates their treatment. A combination of changes in ventilation and a complex architectonics of the bronchi may contribute to worsening control over As. The performed study deals with the problem of early diagnosis and progression of the course in patients with As and Ob comorbidity. The study involved 62 patients with As. Of them, there were 24 cases with the normal body mass (Group I) and 38 cases with As+Ob (Group II). Along with evaluation of respiratory function values and anthropometric examination, all the patients underwent controlling of carbohydrate metabolism. It was found out that As combined with Ob were accompanied by a cascade of metabolic disorders: hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and higher levels of HbA1с and fasting glucose versus the control group (р<0.05). According to correlation analysis data, in Group II negative correlations between values of HOMA-IR and 40≤FEV1<50% (r= -0.53; р<0.05), HOMA-IR and 50%≤FEV1<60% (r= -0.49; р<0.05), insulin level and 40≤FEV1<50% (r= -0.42; р<0.05) as well as a positive correlation between HPMA-IR value and BMI (r=0.39; р<0.05) were revealed. Patients with As, degree 1 Ob and a disorder of FEV1>60% revealed hyperinsulinemia and an increased level of insulin resistance index; this fact can be regarded as a prognostic criterion for an improved diagnosis, prognostication of unfavorable consequences and optimization of treatment approaches. In order to detect carbohydrate metabolic disturbances in patients with As+Ob it is not enough to determine levels of glucose and glycated hemoglobin. The necessity of studying insulin resistance and insulin level for systematization and determination of development of concomitant metabolic disturbances in patients to whom iGCS are prescribed is proved.

The WHO Global vision detection program and preventing blindness "VISION 2020: the right to Sight" has shown the need to identify the genetic predisposition to glaucoma. It provides new opportunities for diagnosis, early prevention and treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the rs1799983 polymorphism (G894T, Glu298Asp) of the NOS3 gene on the development of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in patients from the Ukrainian population. The study involved data from 153 patients (153 eyes) with POAG and 47 controls. The age of patients was 65.0±13.1 years. The duration of the disease was 4.9±5.3 years. The real-time polymerase chain reaction (Gene Amp® PCR system 7500 amplifier; USA) was performed in the patients “blood using the TaqMan Mutation Detection Assays Life-Technology test system (USA). The Statistica 10 program (StatSoft, Inc.) was used for statistical processing of the obtained results, USA). The significant increase in the frequency of the minor genotype TA and the T allele was found in POAG compared to the controls. The distribution of genotypes was not associated with the disease (p=0.051). While the effect of alleles was significant: for the T allele, OR=1.806; 95% VI 1.11-2.93 (p=0.016). It was preserved when it was stratified by gender for women (OR=2.00; OR 1.01-3.95; p=0.043). According to the presence of the risk TT genotype rs1799983, POAG developed at the younger age (p<0.001), such patients had significantly higher intra-abdominal pressure, worse perimetry indicators (MD and PSD), lower thickness of nerve fiber layers (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC), a larger ratio of excavation area to the area of the optic disc (Cup/Disk Area Ratio). The Association of the RS1799983 polymorphism of the NOS3 gene with PVKG was also confirmed in other populations, and the aggravating effect of the minor TT genotype on the phenotype of patients was shown.

One of the main causes of chronic hepatitis is mother to child transfer which is also known as vertical transfer (VT). Although there are several studies regarding the VT mechanism and its risk factors, none of these studies succeeded in explaining this process, completely. We conducted this study aiming at investigating VT mechanism and risk factors in this region. The present study was a descriptive-analytic cross-sectional study on HBS Ag positive pregnant women, which was conducted from March 2018 to March 2020 in Amir-Al-Momenin Hospital in Zabol, Sistan-and-Baluchestan province, Iran. In this study all samples were tested for HBV markers (HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe, anti-HBc, and HBV-DNA) and anti-HCV by enzyme-linked im­munosorbent assay (ELISA). All statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS version 22 software. Totally 43 infants of HBS antigen positive mothers were investigated. HBe antibody and HBe antigen were found in 25 (62.5%) and 2 (5%) of mothers, respectively. There was no significant difference between the newborns with and without hepatitis B infection regarding maternal age (p=0.216), duration of the infection in mother (p=0.892), AST (0.779), AL (0.449) and ALP (0.065). Mothers with positive viral load during pregnancy delivered newborns with positive HBS antigen much more than mothers with negative HBS antigen. However, this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.642). Although positive viral load was more common in neonates delivered from positive viral load mothers, the observed difference was also remained non-significant (p=0.978). Our study provided evidences regarding that demo­graphic, immunologic and clinical characteristics of mothers with hepatitis B infection did not play considerable role in the vertical transmission of the infection to the newborns as well as the severity of the following infection. We also sug­gested the possibility of placenta acting as a source of infection in VT.  Further longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes are needed to show the exact predictors of transmission of the infection from infected mothers to their children.
