Published: February 2022

Although many school districts made efforts to provide instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic (including in-person, remote, and blended/hybrid options the length of instruction time and delivery models have varied from district to district. This disruption in education has been projected to result in a significant learning loss, which may be particularly profound for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, leading to widening opportunity gaps. However, there is limited empirical data that can provide important contextual background for understanding the impact of the pandemic on student learning. Therefore, we conducted a national survey with a random sample of 582 elementary school teachers to understand the instructional changes that occurred, the amount of academic content instruction provided to students, and teachers’ perceptions of the learning supports needed and provided to students during the 2020-2021 school year. Results indicated that most teachers relied on alternative forms of instruction and experienced changes in delivery models but reported low instructional effectiveness. Compared to typical years, teachers reported significant decreases in curriculum coverage; the number of students who received needed interventions, and students who were ready to transition to the next grade level during the 2020-2021 school year. Teachers also reported greater impacts on instruction for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Follow-up analyses using prior school achievement data corroborated the findings that higher school achievement was associated with smaller impacts on student learning and delivery of instruction.

Published: February 2022

Existing research indicates that students prefer to work with tutors who express politely in online human-human tutoring, but excessive polite expressions might lower tutoring efficacy. However, there is a shortage of understanding about the use of politeness in online tutoring and the extent to which the politeness of instructional strategies can contribute to students' achievement. To address these gaps, we conducted a study on a large-scale dataset (5,165 students and 116 qualified tutors in 18,203 online tutoring sessions) of both effective and ineffective human-human online tutorial dialogues. The study made use of a well-known dialogue act coding scheme to identify instructional strategies, relied on the linguistic politeness theory to analyse the politeness levels of the tutors' instructional strategies, and utilised Gradient Tree Boosting to evaluate the predictive power of these politeness levels in revealing students' problem-solving performance. The results demonstrated that human tutors used both polite and non-polite expressions in the instructional strategies. Tutors were inclined to express politely in the strategy of providing positive feedback but less politely while providing negative feedback and asking questions to evaluate students' understanding. Compared to the students with prior progress, tutors provided more polite open questions to the students without prior progress but less polite corrective feedback. Importantly, we showed that, compared to previous research, the accuracy of predicting student problem-solving performance can be improved by incorporating politeness levels of instructional strategies with other documented predictors (e.g., the sentiment of the utterances).

Published: February 2022

After achieving significant progress in the millennium development era, Bangladesh has also embraced sustainable development goals (SDGs), and to successfully attain these goals, sustainable rural development is inevitable. Hence, the government has taken initiatives to spur rural growth by ameliorating the main drivers of the rural economy. The country has already reached its sixth year of SDG implementation, and it is a decent time to assess the direction in which SDG implementation work regarding rural development is moving because insightful lessons from the assessment help raise the efficacy of efforts over the coming years. Therefore, the Preferred Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol is proposed to investigate efforts to ameliorate the highest priority areas between 2015 and 2021 and identify challenges that call for further attention. The findings indicate that despite the last six years of public and private efforts that have significantly advanced the rural economy, the following still impedes expected outcomes: complexities in allocation and utilization of development funds, technology backwardness, coordination complexities between public and private stakeholders, lack of capacity in managing and adapting climate-related risks, unethical practice in the health and education sector, social inequalities, low digital literacy, and the dissonance among education, industry, skill, and employment sector. Based on those identified issues, this article provides possible policy and strategy recommendations.
Analysis of Pricing Decision of the High-Speed Railway under Airline’s Competition: Based on the Same Route
Authors: Li Hao , Peng Ting
Published: February 2022

National policies on energy conservation and emission reduction call for the development of greener travel. The high-speed railway has irreplaceable advantages and status. At present, China’s high-speed railway mainly adopts a fixed pricing strategy, which has demerits such as insufficient demand and reduced profits, so that high-speed railway has a distinct disadvantage when competing with aviation. Accordingly, we investigate the high-speed railway’s optimal pricing strategy under the competition of airlines with the same route. Two pricing strategies are investigated for high-speed railway use: fixed pricing or dynamic pricing. Our analysis shows that dynamic pricing has positive effects on revenue and total social welfare. The development of high-speed railways is expected to play a major role in China’s transition to a low-carbon and green economic growth model, which is emphasized by the results.

Correlation between Autorefractometry and Retinoscopy with Subjective Refraction in Refractive Error Patients at Dr Kariadi Hospital, Semarang
Authors: Hardiyanti Disti , Dyah NA Fatimah
Published: February 2022

Objective: Refractive errors are a major cause of visual impairment in Indonesia. In Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang, it is amongst the top five diagnoses within the ophthalmology department. Therefore, objective refraction is imperative for the management of refractive errors. These examinations include autorefractometry and retinoscopy. Despite the fact that retinoscopy is the gold standard, autorefractometry is more desirable as it is more sophisticated, swift, and convenient. Autorefractometry's results are expected to match results from subjective correction, therefore, reduce examination time as patient visits increase. This study aims to determine the correlation between autorefractometry and retinoscopy examination with subjective refraction.
Methods: The study design was cross-sectional. The study was conducted on 34 eyes with refractive error taken by consecutive sampling. The subjects had to meet inclusion and exclusion criteria. All subjects underwent visual acuity examination, refractive correction by autorefractometry, retinoscopy, and subjective refraction. All data were processed by using computerized formulations.
Results: Based on the demographics there were 61.8% of women and 38.2% of men with an average age of 29.7 + 9. The results of this study showed a strong correlation between autorefractometry and subjective refraction. Furthermore, retinoscopy shows a strong correlation with subjective refraction as well.
Conclusion: This study shows retinoscopy is superior to autorefractometry. However, autorefractometry is a viable replacement for patients in Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang.

Introduction and Objective: Optic neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve leading to sudden loss of vision that takes place over several hours or days. Corticosteroids have been widely used in the treatment of optic neuritis due to their anti-inflammatory effects. This study aimed to retrospectively review cases of optic neuritis that have been the administration of intravenous corticosteroid treatment on visual acuity.
Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective study of patients who underwent 3 days of intravenous corticosteroid therapy for neuritis optic from January 2018 to December 2018 in Kariadi Hospital. The data collected included patient demographics, onset, clinical examinations, and visual acuity.
Result: The authors included 22 eyes from 16 patients who received intravenous corticosteroid treatment for 3 consecutive days during the study period. The study found a mean age of 32,91±9,32 years (18-49 years). The mean onset was 2,36±3,07 months (0,1-12 months). Ten eyes (45,5%) had positive RAPD and five eyes (22,7%) had ocular movement pain. Thirteen patients (59,1%) had papil edema in funduscopy examination. Fourteen eyes (63,6%) had visual acuity at or below 6/60 at the time of presentation. The mean visual acuity at the time of presentation was 2,45±1,79 LogMar units (Range 0,2-5,0 LogMar units). After three days of intravenous corticosteroid treatment, the mean visual acuity was 1,81±1,42 LogMar units (Range 0,1-5,0 LogMar units). The visual acuity before and after treatment were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and gave p=0,004 as result.
Conclusion: Treatment of intravenous corticosteroid commonly gave a better visual acuity on neuritis optic patients. There are no significant differences of onset and clinical examinations in intravenous corticosteroid treatment visual outcome.

COVID-19 RISK ASSESSMENT AMONG THE SUSCEPTIBLE INDIVIDUALS IN CHENNAI: A CASE CONTROL STUDY
Authors: Mohan Meenakshi , G Srinivas , S Valarmathi , Srijayath Parameswari , S Sundar Jasmine , S. Kalpana
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND The 21st century is facing a long series of scourge from SARS (2003), H1N1 (2009), MERS
(2012), and Ebola (2014) to Zika virus (2015). H1N1 spread by a novel inuenza virus in the year 2009, was
the rst pandemic of the century, which luckily turned out to be not as severe as expected. In contrast COVID-19 pandemic is
characterized by a very rapid spread and high fatality. The best way to prevent and slow down the transmission is to be well
informed about its causes and spreads. Risk awareness thus prevent and slow-down the transmission of COVID-19.
OBJECTIVES
Ÿ To measure the risk of association between parameters of health, exposure, behaviour, social policy and COVID-19
infection
Ÿ To evaluate the knowledge gaps on COVID-19 safety measures among the public
METHODS A case control study was conducted among 100 cases and 200 controls. A standard Risk assessment tool was used
to assess the risk factors for COVID-19 infection through telephonic interview after obtaining a verbal informed consent.
RESULTS The odds of getting COVID-19 infection is 4.5 times higher with increase in age. The study also shows a positive and
strong correlation between age group and total risk, co-morbidities and total risk among both cases and control groups. On the
other hand, gender and behaviour showed a negative and negligible correlation among controls and positive but negligible
correlation among the cases.
CONCLUSION The risk of getting COVID – 19 disease increases with Age, underlying medical conditions, smoking, hand
washing, mask wearing behavior, compliance with social distancing and place of residence. Although the government has laid
preventive strategies, the results show unsatisfactory compliance towards social policies. Hence stringent laws should be
implemented to scrutinize the population to follow these preventive measures.
TO STUDY THE PREVALENCE OF METABOLIC SYNDROME AND LIFESTYLE FACTORS IN SUBFERTILE MALES IN CENTRAL INDIA
Authors: Gupta Nayan , Jhavar Dharmendra , Agarwal Amit , Pandey V. P.
Published: February 2022

Background: Male partner constitute the 50% of couple infertility, among which the abnormal semen
quality is the most common cause. There are many factors that can affect sperm quality including
metabolic syndrome and modiable lifestyle factors. Previous literatures regarding effects of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and
lifestyle factors on semen quality is inconsistent. So, we decided to nd the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and life style
factors in subfertile low sperm counts males and improvement in semen quality after treating deranged metabolic parameters
and lifestyles modication.
Methods: 51 male partners of infertile couple with low normal sperm count included in this study. MetS was dened by the
modied NCEP ATP III criteria with the Asian cut-off for waist circumference. Life style modiable factors are assessed by using
a questionnaire. All patients underwent lifestyle modication for a period of 3 months. The association of metabolic syndrome
and lifestyle factors with semen analysis was examined and the changes in semen parameters after life style modication was
evaluated.
Results: Metabolic syndrome was signicantly associated with reduced sperm count and motility. In life style factors, the sperm
count with physical activity grades was found to be statistically signicant (P=0.002). Sperm motility was negatively associated
with stress level, depression level, smoking grades and Homocysteine level. After 3 months of life style modications, there was
signicant increase in sperm count and sperm motility.
Conclusions: Acquiring a healthy life style lead to improvement in sperm count and motility and may consequentially reduce
the infertility risk in couples. Physician should strongly advise their patients to adopt a healthy life style including daily physical
activity and exercise, reduce obesity, to cut out stress and avoid smoking before undergoing medical treatment.

Authors: Narang Deepak , Kaur Prabhjot , Singh Amandeep
Published: February 2022

Oral submucous brosis is a common pre-malignant condition affecting the oral mucosa with more prevalence among Indian population. Various treatment modalities have been elucidated in order to alleviate the symptoms associated with OSMF. Currently oral Anti hypertensive has been proved to have benecial result in treating OSMF because of its anti-inammatory, brinolytic, immunomodulatory and rheologic modifying property. Several categories of drugs have been used in the treatment of OSMF but their effectiveness leaves much to be desired and no treatment regimen has afforded denitive cure. While Oral administration limits the concentration of drugs in lesional tissue and increases the potential for side effects, the Intralesional injections are associated with signicant mechanical injury and non compliance on the patient’s part because of the accompanying discomfort and pain. The present study was done to evaluate the effectiveness of oral antihypertensives in the management of OSMF Very few studies across world have showed that anti hypertensive drugs showed signicant improvement in mouth opening, reduction in burning sensation. Hence anti hypertensive can be a good alternative in the management of OSMF for whom intralesional steroids or hyaluronidase are contraindicated, for those who cannot make frequent visit and to avoid pain due to injection. And most importantly anti hypertensive is cost effective and more compliant to the patient.

RAPID DETECTION OF DOWN SYNDROME BY SHORT TANDEM REPEAT ANALYSIS FROM EASTERN INDIA
Authors: Podder Gargi , Biswas Arindam , De Madhusnata
Published: February 2022

Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal
disorder in human, caused by an extra copy of chromosome
21(Ward et al. 1999). It constitutes the most frequent form of
intellectual disability. The cytogenetic prole of down
syndrome includes trisomy 21, Robertsonian translocations,
mosaicism, duplication of the critical region and other
structural rearrangement involving chromosome 21(Verma et
al. 1998,). India has the highest number of people suffering
from DS in the world (Sherman et al 2007). The high
prevalence is mainly due to lower level of care considered for
2/3 of Down syndrome pregnancies that are under 35 years of
mother age and low level of information behind etiology of
Down syndrome for instance about advanced maternal
age(Van Montfrans et al. 2002). To reduce signicantly the
birth prevalence of Down syndrome, a wide-ranging
screening of pregnant women has been suggested (Pertl et al.
1996). However, conventional methods such as cytogenetic
analysis for diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities often
need lengthy laboratory procedures, and expertise, are
expensive as well as signicant delay in obtaining a
diagnosis (Patterson et al. 2005). Applying of uorescence in
situ hybridization technique from late 1980s using
uorescently labeled DNA probe has facilitated analysis of
chromosome abnormalities. However, genotyping of short
tandem repeats (STR) on chromosome 21 is an alternative
rapid inexpensive & reliable method for the identication of
DS child and is also even suitable for large scale screening of
pregnant women (Rahil et al. 2002). The STRs are the
hypervariable regions of the genome with variable repeat
length and can be used for the quantitative analysis of extra
chromosome of 21. This study aims to identify the DS child
using simple PCR based analysis of STR markers on
chromosome 21 among the eastern Indian population.

Design, Heritage e cultura digitale
Authors: Tufarelli Margherita
Published: February 2022

With the digital transformation, the exponential increase in the number of tools and types of support with which human expressions can be created and transmitted brings with it new cultural paradigms that feed creative productions and vice versa, giving rise to new questions regarding how Heritage “works”, what it “does” and what it “serves”. This is the general context in which the research project described in this book is set, and the convergence that has been created over time between technologies, cultural heritage, and design, which today seem to implement a triangulation in which each vertex favors the relationship between the other two, opening up new and interesting research perspectives to explore.
Poesia del Gulag o della zona? Problemi e prospettive di analisi per una descrizione del corpus poetico dei prigionieri politici in URSS
Authors: Pieralli Claudia
Published: February 2022

The present survey aims at creating the basis for an extensive study on poetry written by victims of political repressions in the whole area of Segregation in the Soviet Union: prisons, forced labour camps, Gulags and confinement. The research relies on evidence drawn from published and archive materials, concerning the 1918-1956 period. We propose a systematization of the corpus, based on a new methodology: the key-concept of ‘poetry of Zone’ as a literary track of testimony of political repression, which was synchronical to the imprisonment experience in the USSR.

Prominent historian of Russian literature, one of the best pushkinists of his time, Ju. Oksman was sent to a camp in Kolyma in 1936. Upon his release in 1947, he found a position at Saratov University, then he moved to the Institute of World Literature a decade later. Because of his anti-stalinism, he was fired from his academic positions in 1964 and until the perestroika it was forbidden to write about him in USSR. His letters to Ludwig Domherr or Gleb Struve provide a rich material of the scholar’s determination to revive the dialogue with the West and a testimony of his courageous position.
Украинская культура Василя Стуса между Европой и Россией
Authors: Achilli Alessandro
Published: February 2022

The writings of Vasyl’ Stus (1938-1985) offer an interesting example of some typical dynamics of Ukrainian culture, divided among attraction for Europe and the need to reaffirm its own Europeanness, the autoreferential temptation, and the Russian model – in its turn marked by the Westernism/Slavophilism dichotomy. Stus reflects upon Ukrainian literature in relation to its romantic tradition, European modernism and Russian literature, coming to conclusions that may appear unexpected and paradoxical for an intellectual usually deemed a model of traditional patriotism.

Authors: Naufal Marbella Hendry , Hanifah Nur’aini Nadira , Agung Shafwan , Aini Rakhmawati Nur
Published: February 2022

Wabah COVID-19 menyebabkan kepanikan, ketakutan, bahkan kematian di seluruh dunia. Program vaksinasi menjadi alternatif solusi untuk segera mengakhiri wabah ini. Penelitian ini mengungkap keputusan vaksinasi COVID-19 oleh masyarakat Indonesia berdasarkan pemberitaan bohong yang ada pada media sosial. Opini yang berkembang membuat masyarakat memiliki pandangan yang berbeda-beda untuk melakukan vaksinasi COVID-19. Hasil respons yang didapatkan melalui metode survei membuktikan bahwa lebih dari 84% responden mengaku pemberitaan tentang COVID-19 lebih sering dibagikan kepada keluarga daripada pihak lain. Berita bohong setidaknya diterima oleh lebih dari 40% responden melalui media sosial. Hampir setengah dari jumlah responden menyatakan bahwa mereka akan berpikir dua kali untuk menerima vaksinasi COVID-19 setelah melihat simulasi pemberian berita bohong yang ada di media sosial. Hal ini juga didukung oleh penurunan jumlah responden yang bersedia menerima vaksin baru COVID-19 dibandingkan dengan jumlah responden yang belum menerima berita bohong mengenai vaksinasi COVID-19. Pada akhirnya, responden ternyata masih mempercayai lembaga resmi pemerintah sebagai salah satu sumber informasi mengenai vaksinasi COVID-19.

Re-crystallization mechanism of superplasticity of industrial titanium and nickel alloys
Authors: Onishchenko A.K.
Published: February 2022

The results of the study are presented, showing that the mechanism of superplastic deformation of industrial titanium and nickel alloys is dynamic recrystallization (fluctuation-structural transition), which leads to a steady segmental (vacancy-segmental) flow of the material when the sample is stretched. The results obtained confirm the fallacy of the concept of the relationship between grain boundary sliding and the motion of grain boundary dislocations during superplastic deformation and the doubtfulness of the physical validity of the velocity sensitivity coefficient as a criterion for superplasticity.
Keywords: superplasticity, grain boundary sliding, dynamic recrystallization, fluctuation-structural transition, velocity sensitivity coefficient, polycrystalline superplastic viscosity.

Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación se han posicionado en las diferentes esferas de la vida social; desde luego, en el escenario educativo los acontecimientos del año 2020 irrumpieron la cotidianidad de las prácticas pedagógicas generando la necesidad de ampliar la perspectiva de abordaje en lo que refiere a la implementación de TIC. Así, este libro compilado es el resultado de procesos de sistematización de experiencias de tecnologías en procesos educativos en diez instituciones educativas distritales, y de los diferentes diálogos adelantados por el equipo de maestros inspiradores de la línea de TIC y gamificación alrededor de los retos, proyecciones y articulación pedagógica de las tecnologías dentro y fuera del aula.
The Net generation in times of pandemic: Customers’ technology savviness and social media communication impact on customer-based brand equity
Authors: Krywalski Santiago Joanna , Pimenta Miguel
Published: February 2022

This paper follows the recent areas of interest trucked by Google Trends to investigate the importance of the customers’ technological savviness and firm’s social media communication at creation of brand equity. A special attention is paid at the so called ‘Net generation’ and its behavior during COVID-19 pandemic. The data was collected through an online survey distributed in Portugal with the assistance of Qualtrics online survey platform and counted with respondents that had a prior experience in following or engaging with brands on social media. To understand the relationships between Customer Technology Savviness (CTS), firm’s Social Media Communication (SMC) and Customer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE), this study applies the Partial Last Squares method of Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of the multigroup analysis show that customers who used social media more heavily during pandemic denoted a stronger relationship between CTS and CBBE, CTS and SMC and between SMC and CBBE, of which the last was not confirmed in case of customers who made less use of social media since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.
The Problem of Determining the Position of Geography within the System of Sciences
Authors: Mičian Ľudovít
Published: February 2022

Ten different conceptions concerning the position of geography within the system of sciences are characterized in this paper. In the author's opinion, geography occupies a place in the sphere among social, natural, geometric and technological sciences. If geography is to be incorporated into a single group of sciences, we should find it most convenient to place it to the geosciences or to synthetic sciences. According to our opinion, geography is a synthetic geoscience.

The current study aims to compare the growth of young grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella fed on either artificial diet or alfalfa. The experiment was carried out in the earthen ponds of the Aquaculture Unit in the Agricultural Researches and Experiments Station (College of Agriculture, University of Basrah), which is located in the Al-Hartha district, approximately 16 km north of Basra (300 65' 64.6''N, 470 74' 79.5''E). The experiment begun from 26 July 2019 to 10 December 2019. Six ponds with an area of 600 square meters each were used for treatments. Fish were distributed equally to the culture ponds (600 fish per pond) at average individual weight of 6.3±0.28 g. Fish in artificial diet treatment were fed 5 % of the body weight and in alfalfa treatment 50 % of the body weight. Samples of fish were weighed every twenty days for the purpose of controlling growth parameters subsequently adjusting the daily feed provided based on the new weight. The growth criteria (final weight, weight gain, daily growth rate, specific growth rate, relative growth rate, feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio) were calculated. Results of the current study showed that the water temperature is the most variable factor, for example, the highest temperature was 27.2oC in July, while the lowest temperature was 18.7oC in December. Results of growth criteria of the current study showed that grass carp in earthen ponds preferred alfalfa rather than the artificial diet, as the final average weight were 97.35, 47.18 g, the weight gain rate were 91.73, 40.75 g fish-1, the daily growth rate were 1.27, 0.42 g day-1, relative growth rate 1707.77, 629.99 %, specific growth rate were 3.92, 2.04 % day-1, feed conversion ratio were 11.75, 2.51and protein efficiency ratio were 1.75, 0.45 for fish fed on alfalfa plant and the artificial diet respectively.
Performing the Gendered Self in Intercultural Communication
Authors: Yilmaz Ozan Can
Published: February 2022

While there is a multiplicity of identity markers that affect the dynamics of
intercultural communication, the intersectionality of gender and religion
deserves more scholarly attention. The book takes the dissimilar cultural
concepts and identity performance as a starting point, exploring the
significant role that the religious indoctrinations play in the construction
and performance of gender. It features contributions by the scholars
in the field of communication, gender and cultural studies, including
theoretical reflections on the socio-cultural formation of identity, dogmatic
impositions on gender roles, and the performance of gender identity in
intercultural settings.
Lukanische Theologie der Ehelosigkeit nach Lk 20,34-36
Authors: Sudić Valentina
Published: February 2022

Das Buch befasst sich mit der Frage, welche Bedeutung einem ehelosen Leben zukommt und vertritt die These, dass die Ehelosigkeit in den synoptischen Evange-lien immer eng mit der Nachfolge Jesu verbunden sei. Die Autorin untersucht diese Frage anhand neutestamentlicher Zeugnisse. Als Ausgangspunkt dient die lukanische Fassung des Gesprächs Jesu mit den Sadduzäern (Lk 20,27-40). Die Autorin analysiert, unter welchem Einfluss und aus welchem Grund das Lukasevangelium eine veränderte Fassung des ersten Teils der Antwort Jesu im Gespräch mit den Sadduzäern schildert, was diese Änderung bedeutet und wie diese interpretiert werden soll.
The Great Lockdown
Authors: Caron Jean-François
Published: February 2022

It is being said that we should all be proud of the way we are confronting the Covid-19 pandemic. Rather than privileging profits and trade, Western societies have made the noble decision to save lives at all costs. Indeed, the logic that has prevailed is that accepting any trade-off between saving lives and saving the economy is an unacceptable and monstrous idea, which is why liberal democracies worldwide have chosen to shutter businesses and force people to self-quarantine in their homes as much and for as long as possible. A vast majority of citizens and political leaders deemed that acting otherwise would have been nothing else but pure moral bankruptcy.

Is it, however, possible that Western societies have gone the wrong way by embracing this inherently basic and impoverished version of life? The reason why a significant majority of us are unable to see this truth is because of our refusal to accept death and the tragic essence of human life which is the result of the various cultural parameters we have grown accustomed to over the past decades that followed WWII. The Covid-19 pandemic has simply been the triggering factor that has allowed these factors to reinforce the full strength they wield on our understanding of life. Defined primarily by a fear of death, the desire to prolong life as much as possible and minimize the hurdles individuals have to face during their existence has created a beast that is, in appearance, reassuring to the fearful creatures we have become.

This beast has asepticized societies that refute the tragic nature of life and are willing to hinder individuals’ freedom and what makes our existence inherently humane. However, without realizing it, this Leviathan that now takes the form of a "nanny state" has altered our nature from individuals able and encouraged to enjoy life to people whose only destiny is to simply survive for as long as possible, without any other purpose than to avoid anything that might jeopardize this objective.

Aim: Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy associated with activated CD4+ T cells and autoantibodies to angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-AA). We have previously shown that CD4+ T cells isolated from women with PE cause hypertension, increased tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), endothelin-1, and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) when injected into pregnant nude-athymic rats compared to CD4+ T cells from normal pregnant (NP) women. However, the role of PE CD4+ T cells to cause AT1-AA as a mechanism of hypertension is not known. Our goal was to determine if PE CD4+ T cells stimulate AT1-AA in pregnant nude-athymic rats.
Methods: CD4+ T cells were isolated from human NP and PE placentasand injected into nude-athymic rats on gestational day (GD) 12. In order to examine the role of the PE CD4+ T cells to stimulate B cell secretion of AT1-AA, a subset of the rats receiving PE CD4+ T cells were treated with rituximab on GD 14 or anti-CD40 ligand (anti-CD40L) on GD 12. On GD 19, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and tissues were obtained.
Results: MAP [114 ± 1 mmHg (n = 9)] and AT1-AA [19.8 ± 0.9 beats per minute (bpm, n = 4)] were increased in NP nude + PE CD4+ T cells compared to NP nude + NP CD4+ T cells [98 ± 2 mmHg (n = 7, P < 0.05) and 1.3 ± 0.9 bpm (n = 5, P < 0.05)]. Rituximab (103 ± 2 mmHg, n = 3, P < 0.05) and anti-CD40L (102 ± 1 mmHg, n = 3, P < 0.05) lowered MAP compared to NP nude + PE CD4+ T cells. Circulating a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) and placental angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) activity was increased in response to PE CD4+ T cells.
Conclusions: These results show that placental CD4+ T cells play an important role in the pathophysiology of PE, by activating B cells secreting AT1-AA to cause hypertension during pregnancy.
