Published: July 2021

We report the rare case of timolol-induced sinus bradycardia in an otherwise healthy young individual following just 1 day use of timolol eye drops. A 35-year-old male presented with dispersed hyphema and raised intraocular pressure following blunt trauma in the left eye. He was prescribed timolol eye drops and topical steroids. He presented next day with giddiness, sweating, and heart rate (HR) of 30/min. Electrocardiogram confirmed sinus bradycardia injection atropine 0.5 mg intravenous was given. Timolol was substituted with brimonidine-brinzolamide drops. HR returned to normal of 72/min after 2 days of observation. Our case, therefore, represents an exaggerated response to topical timolol.

Published: July 2021

Background and Objective:

The study aims to evaluate the histopathological changes, enzymatic alterations, and DNA damage in rat lungs induced by whole-body gamma irradiation as well as evaluation of the protective effect of pycnogenol.

Materials and Methods:

A hundred adult male rats were equally divided into ten groups including control, four antioxidants, γ-irradiation, four antioxidant + γ-irradiations. This study began the day before radiation treatment and continued for 3 days. The pycnogenol was dissolved 5% dimethyl sulfoxide and then administered orally through a gastric tube at a dose of 37.5 mg/kg, 75 mg/kg, 150 mg/kg, and 300 mg/kg in 24, 48, and 72 h before irradiation. Irradiation was applied with a whole-body irradiation dose of 900 cGy in one fraction. DNA damage, histopathological changes, catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in lung tissue of rats were evaluated 3 days after irradiation.

Results:

CAT and SOD activities were found to be significantly lower in the irradiation group than control (P < 0.001). CAT and SOD activities were higher in the antioxidant + γ-irradiation group than both irradiation and control groups. MDA levels were significantly higher in the irradiation group compared to control (P < 0.001), whereas MDA levels decreased in the antioxidant + γ-irradiation group compared to the irradiation group. The antioxidant groups were significantly increased comet parameters depend on pycnogenol doses compared to control. The antioxidant + γ-irradiation was decreased comet parameter compared to γ-irradiation. As a result of the histopathologically, the antioxidant groups were different than the control group that in the areas of alveolar sacs and connective tissue areas were seen hemorrhage areas similar to the irradiation group.

Conclusion:

We demonstrate that 300 mg/kg of pycnogenol might provide significant protection against deleterious effects from whole-body ionizing radiation on the lung tissue. P300+ γ-ray group was significantly reduced radiation-induced lung injury and was possible to observe significantly preservation.

Authors: Aslan Beste Tacal , Ertugrul Baris , Iplik Elif Sinem , Cakmakoglu Bedia
Published: July 2021

Aim:

Acacetin is a natural flavone compound, which is found in several plants as Robinia pseudoacacia and is demonstrated to have anticancerogenic activities in many types of cancer (e.g., human nonsmall cell lung cancer, and prostate). Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the serious health problems and is a complex disease. We intended to find a more effective new candidate for the treatment of colon cancer, and hence, we designed this study to investigate the effects of acacetin on CRC (HT-29, HCT 116) in vitro.

Methods:

The study was carried out with the methods that determine for apoptosis (WST-1, Caspase 3/BCA, Annexin V).

Results:

Acacetin showed antitumor and apoptosis-inducing effects in the CRC cell lines.

Conclusions:

Acacetin was effective on CRC cell lines, besides no lethal effect on healthy lung cells (MRC-5).

Authors: Radhika G. , Sankar R. , Rajendran R
Published: July 2021

The objective of this systematic review was to examine the pooled prevalence of common mental disorder (CMD) and to evaluate the predictability of screening instruments to detect CMD in the children and adolescent population in India. Data sources included the MEDLINE, PubMed, PyschEXTRA, and PyschINFO up to 2020, with additional studies identified from a search of reference lists to examine the diagnostic utility of tools carried out in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines, PRISMA within parentheses after the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines (PRISMA). Only studies involving children and adolescents with an independent measure of depression and anxiety in India were included. Random effects meta-analyses were employed to calculate a pooled estimate of depression prevalence. Twenty studies met all inclusion and exclusion criteria for the systematic review. The analysis showed that several tools were used in different regions of the nation to measure CMD such as the beck depression inventory (BDI), Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R), and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale. The pooled prevalence of depression was 19% (95% confidence interval (CI) = 12.57–27.12), 15% (95% CI = 4.67–30.90) for anxiety, and 11% (95% CI = 4.37–19.77) for any depressive disorder. In terms of BDI had the highest sensitivity (61%) while CDRS-R had the highest specificity (75%). Given the high heterogeneity of the studies, there is insufficient evidence that any tool accurately screens for CMD and likely to underestimate the true prevalence.

Introduction:

The global scale of COVID-19 has been enormous, with the disease affecting 20 million people worldwide and resulting in 751,154 deaths by August 14, 2020. An increase in mental health problems is expected with an event of such scale, given past experience with epidemics such as severe acute respiratory syndrome and Ebola, among various vulnerable populations. One such population may be the family members of patients affected with COVID-19.

Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study. Five hundred and forty-one relatives of patients admitted in the COVID-19 wing of a tertiary care hospital were studied. Sociodemographic details were recorded and a Gujarati version of General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) was applied. A total score of ≥4 on GHQ-28 was considered indicative of “caseness” or psychiatric morbidity and the population was divided into two groups based on whether the score was <4 or ≥4. The groups were analyzed for any differences with respect to variables like age, gender.

Conclusion:

5.17% of the study population had a GHQ-28 total score of ≥4 indicative of “psychiatric morbidity.” The most common symptoms were fatigue, stress, sleep disturbance, and anxiety. Male gender and advanced age were statistically significantly more likely to have a GHQ-28 total score ≥4.
A Holistic Psychotherapeutic Approach for the Management of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder with Poor Insight
Authors: Gogoi Ritu Raj , Sharma B. Surchandra
Published: July 2021

An individual with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and poor insight has a significant impact on the person, thinking clearly about his obsessive thought and compulsive behavior. Cognitive-behavior therapy is an evidence-based therapy for the treatment of OCD patients. However, the need felt to incorporate other therapeutic approaches such as supportive, mindfulness-based therapy to treat OCD. This case study tried to discuss the efficacy of a holistic intervention approach in an individual with OCD who had poor insight. The result showed that the holistic approach decreased distress, intrusive thought and reassurance-seeking behavior and improved his insight. At the end of the psychotherapy session, the Y-BOCS score decreased to 15.
WWPD elements of big mapping class groups
Authors: Rasmussen Alexander J.
Published: July 2021

We study mapping class groups of infinite type surfaces with isolated punctures and their actions on the

loop

graphs

introduced by Bavard and Walker. We classify all of the mapping classes in these actions which are loxodromic with a WWPD action on the corresponding loop graph. The WWPD property is a weakening of Bestvina and Fujiwara’s weak proper discontinuity and is useful for constructing non-trivial quasimorphisms. We use this classification to give a sufficient criterion for subgroups of big mapping class groups to have infinite-dimensional second bounded cohomology and use this criterion to give simple proofs that certain natural subgroups of big mapping class groups have infinite dimensional second bounded cohomology.
Inequalities between Neumann and Dirichlet eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators
Authors: Rohleder Jonathan
Published: July 2021

Given a Schrödinger operator with a real-valued potential on a bounded, convex domain or a bounded interval we prove inequalities between the eigenvalues corresponding to Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions, respectively. The obtained inequalities depend partially on monotonicity and convexity properties of the potential. The results are counterparts of classical inequalities for the Laplacian but display some distinction between the one-dimensional case and higher dimensions.
Efficiency and localisation for the first Dirichlet eigenfunction

Published: July 2021

Bounds are obtained for the efficiency or mean to max ratio

E(\Omega)

for the first Dirichlet eigenfunction (positive) for open, connected sets

\Omega

with finite measure in Euclidean space

\mathbb{R}^m

. It is shown that (i) localisation implies vanishing efficiency, (ii) a vanishing upper bound for the efficiency implies localisation, (iii) localisation occurs for the first Dirichlet eigenfunctions for a wide class of elongating bounded, open, convex and planar sets, (iv) if

\Omega_n

is any quadrilateral with perpendicular diagonals of lengths

1

and

n

respectively, then the sequence of first Dirichlet eigenfunctions localises and

E(\Omega_n)=O(n^{-2/3}\log n)

. This disproves some claims in the literature. A key technical tool is the Feynman–Kac formula.
Conceptualization of media competence as an "augmented competence"
Authors: Kačinová Viera , María Rosario María Rosario
Published: July 2021

Introduction: The ever-progressing transformation of the media as a result of digitization trends, the new characteristics of the communication environment and the associated communication practices and forms of user behaviour result in new educational needs and demands. Their reassessment in the context of current scientific discourses takes the form of revision and redefinition of the concept of media competence. Methodology: through a reflexive analysis of the concepts and models, we present the conceptualization of media competence as an extended competence to the area of personal, social, cultural and civic competencies. Results: The result of the work is a reassessment of conceptual positions in the projection of features of media competence in the context of the significant phenomena of the converged digital environment: participatory paradigm, hyperconnectivity, proliferation of disinformation. This approach requires the extension of skills and abilities in accessing, evaluating, analyzing, creating and communicating news and media; skills combining the previous forms of literacy and skills of digital environment (Livingstone, 2004; Pérez Tornero, Celot, Varis, 2007; Hobbs, 2008). Discussion: Our approach is associated with broader educational demands and needs aimed at the development of the individual´s personality in a more holistic way, connected with the more complex needs of a society where media presence is higher. Conclusions: The changes in the subject of ´Learning about the media´ are resassed at the end of the paper.

Agent-based Modeling and Simulation of Sponsor Effecting on Group Activities
Authors: Liang Shulin , Hu Wang
Published: July 2021

The effects of sponsor on communication group-buying are studied through agent-based modeling and simulation approach. At first, using content analysis we determine the categories and attributes of agents, then based on the Deffaunt original model, establish interaction rules of sponsor-members and member-member whose validity is verified by numerical simulation experiments. Finally, to determine sponsor’s impacts on the opinion formation in communication group-buying, the range of his eigenvalue should be modulated. Numerical simulations show that the communication group-buying can be influenced by sponsor. The interaction times can promote the formation of communication group-buying, but the influence is limited. Moreover, the sponsor’s professional authority plays a guiding role and his execution has a positive promoting effect in the formation of communication group-buying. Based on the conclusions, the enlightenment function from the perspective of consumer and business is explored.

Authors: Cherniavskyi Serhii , Babanina Viktoria , Mykytchyk Oleksandr , Mostepaniuk Liudmyla
Published: July 2021

The article is dedicated to the study of the measures used to combat cybercrime in different countries. It is observed that the world's leading countries are actively expanding and creating units in the armed forces and intelligence services that should ensure the development of offensive capabilities in cyberspace. In particular, the operational cooperation of law enforcement agencies, such as Interpol, Europol and Eurojust, in the fight against cybercrime is being stepped up. Anti-cybercrime activities are carried out not only by individual states, but also by their blocs, including NATO. In Ukraine, unlike the developed countries of the world, measures to combat cybercrime are less developed. Despite the existence of special laws and strategies, in particular the Cyber Security Strategy of Ukraine, the fight against cybercrime is not effective due to the declarative nature of most of the provisions of this strategy. It is concluded that one of the problematic aspects of the phenomenon of cybercrime is the low level of education in information technologies of the population of Ukraine.

Published: July 2021

Innovation policies are currently one of the main axes for improving the efficiency of national economies in developed and developing countries. The innovation policy includes a comprehensive system of activities. In Russia, increasing the specific weight of commercial entities engaged in innovative activities is among the most important objectives for the short term. The aim of our study was to evaluate the use of innovation based on taking into account the specific weight of organizations that perform innovations in the total number of organizations operating in the regions of Russia. Our study was based on official statistical information on the 82 regions of Russia for 2017-2019. Economic-mathematical models have been developed that describe the specific weight of the organizations that implement innovation. There are no significant changes in the indicators for the years indicated. It has been shown that, to date, almost one in five organizations in the Russian Federation has used innovation in their activities. In addition, they have identified the regions with maximum and minimum values of the specific weightings of innovative organizations for 2019.

Based on the provisions of criminal procedure theory and criminology, the problems of international legal assistance are revealed during the pre-trial investigation for crimes of corruption in the field of official and professional activities. Special attention is paid to identifying the details of evidential activities in criminal proceedings for offences related to the provision of public services during a special pre-trial investigation (in absentia). The methodological basis of the article is a set of general and special scientific methods of legal cognition. In particular, the concept of pre-trial special investigation is formulated, its functional purpose is defined, characteristics of the carrying out of separate investigative actions (search) during the special pre-trial investigation for corruption offences. Attention is paid to issues of international cooperation to identify and search for assets in these criminal proceedings. Other problems are revealed in the use of international legal assistance to obtain evidence during the investigation of these crimes. It is concluded that a problem that arises during international cooperation during the preliminary investigation is the uncertainty in international rules on the provision of mutual legal assistance.

Published: July 2021

For a criminal policy, in the broadest sense, to be successful and compatible with a realistic view of the criminal phenomenon in the field of pragmatism judgment and to achieve its objectives, it needs a background which, in its absence, not only laws based on realistic criminal policy fail, but their application in such a situation will cause a double damage to society: legal and moral. Apply methods of social prevention in the economic and cultural dimension, observing the principle of minimum criminal law, the mandatory anticipation of the presentation of a personality profile in all crimes committed and finally, the establishment of a care administration to comply with the implementation of realistic laws in the best possible way. It is concluded that this path that combines criminal policy and pragmatic legal realism is one of the desired areas in question in the field of criminal investigation in Iran. This research, which is conducted using the content analysis method, identifies the background for the implementation and enforcement of a realistic legislative criminal policy in Iran to remove obstacles to this advanced scientific knowledge.
The Franchise Agreement in International Trade: its Advantages and Disadvantages
Authors: Mehdipour Mohammad , Bagheri Parviz
Published: July 2021

The aim of the article is to analyze the implications of the franchise agreement in international trade. One of the contracts that is usually registered after the appearance and registration of property rights, and especially after the development of trademark rights, is the franchise agreement. A franchise agreement is a contract entered into between the franchisor and the franchisee as the owner of the intellectual property rights. In other words, the franchisee often uses trademark rights and intellectual property rights owned by the franchisor, which have a limited duration. It is concluded that, in franchise agreement, there is a right to enforce the franchisor's business method, which is implemented within the network (this method includes the use of intellectual property rights and know-how). This contract has detailed terms and is closely related to intellectual property rights and competition rights. The franchise must be distinguished from the distribution contract, the concessionaire, and the license. Under this agreement, the franchisee enters the franchise network and agrees to use the franchisor's method of negotiation and pay royalty-free payments instead.

Published: July 2021

The aim of the study was to examine the positions of various social groups, reflecting the controversial and contradictory aspects of the process of identity construction in post-Soviet Russia and the factor of memory politics. The article reveals the characteristics of the post-Soviet identity-building process and the related politics of memory under the century-end systemic transformation that has launched a new existential project in Russia. Collective identity is formed in a new social space: the global dichotomy of globalization and localization. Methodologically, it is a documentary research close to the analysis of discourse. The process of transition from the Soviet Union to post-Soviet space and the construction of the new state on the ruins of the socialist empire will keep the problems of a new identity and the politics of memory relevant soon. It is concluded that thirty years after the liquidation of the socialist project, the crisis of collective identity in Russia and the "battle for history" and a new Russian national unity are not over. However, persistent social atomization and conflict-triggering narratives of various socio-cultural communities and ideological groups persist.

RESUMO

Ao longo da história sempre existiram pessoas com alguma limitação física, sensorial ou intelectual, cuja trajetória foi marcada pela ignorância, indiferença, preconceito e lutas em busca da inclusão social. No Brasil, o censo de 2000 registrou 24,5 milhões de pessoas com algum tipo de deficiência. A avaliação dos deficientes de uma região permite conhecer melhor as condições e realidades nas quais essas pessoas estão inseridas. São poucos os estudos voltados às pessoas com deficiência, especificamente em relação à qualidade de vida dessas pessoas nas regiões do Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba de Minas Gerais. Por meio de análise descritiva dos dados, aplicação do teste Qui-quadrado e a utilização da Análise de Correspondência, foi possível conhecer o perfil das pessoas com deficiência nessas regiões. Em ambas as regiões, verificou-se que o domicílio urbano está associado às deficiências visual e motora para habitantes do sexo feminino. A deficiência auditiva está associada ao sexo masculino tanto em domicílio urbano e rural, e verificou-se ainda uma relação entre pessoas de baixa renda e dificuldades relacionada à visão.

Throughout history there have always been people with physical, sensory or intellectual limitation, whose career was marked by ignorance, indifference, prejudice and struggles in pursuit of social inclusion. In Brazil, the 2000 census recorded 24.5 million people with a disability. The evaluation of the disabled in a region enables better understanding of the conditions and realities in which these people are located. Few studies focused on people with disabilities, specifically in relation to the quality of life of these people in the regions of Triangulo Mineiro and Alto Parnaíba of Minas Gerais. Through descriptive analysis of the data, application of chi-square test and the use of correspondence analysis, it was possible to know the profile of disabled people in these regions. In both regions, it was found that urban household is associated with visual impairments and motor for female population. Hearing loss is associated with males in both urban and rural household, and still found a relation between the poor and difficulties related to vision.
