Published: January 2022

In the process of hybrid maize breeding, the greatest attention is directed towards increasing the level and stability of the yield, while grain quality is of secondary importance. The very principles of hybrid breeding, as well as the economic aspects and competition between different breeding companies, have led to an enormous narrowing of the genetic basis of commercial maize hybrids. Concurrently, there is usually a small number of often related hybrids of similar technological and nutritional quality present on the market. Six best-selling ZP maize hybrids in the previous ten years were chosen as the subject of this study. In the period from 2009-2018, both the yield components and parameters of technological and nutritional quality of the grain were studied. It was found that the examined parameters varied a lot in different years of production and that some parameters were more influenced by genotype (number of kernel rows per ear, portion of pericarp, and crude fiber content) while others were more influenced by the environment (kernel weight per ear, total protein, starch, and oil content, respectively). The amount and the distribution of precipitation during the vegetative period affected not only the yield components i .e. grain yield but also the technological quality parameters and nutritional properties of the grain. Based on the observed parental components, it is evident that they are related hybrids that, despite the high genotype by environment interactions, consequently have similar parameters of technological quality and nutritional composition. The imperative is to develop special breeding programs aiming to create both the starting material and parental components to provide hybrids of improved technological quality and nutritional properties on the market. In that way, the needs of the processing industry for raw materials of certain characteristics can be met.
Disaster risk communication: Attitudes of Serbian citizens
Authors: Cvetković Vladimir , Radovanović Marko , Milašinović Srđan
Published: January 2022

The objective of this research was to examine the citizens' attitudes to various factors influencing the implementation of effective disaster risk communication in the Republic of Serbia. In addition, the research aims to scientifically describe the predictors of successful disaster risk communication. Using an online survey questionnaire, based on the snowball principle, 243 respondents were surveyed during July 2021. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis used to assess the explanatory power of six selected variables (gender, age, education, marital status, employment, and income level) on the perception of disaster risk communication show that the most important predictors of risk awareness are income level and gender. The obtained results have multiple scientific and practical importance for the improvement of integrated disaster risk communication through the process of improved understanding of the demographic and socio-economic perspective of communication.
Acceptance and diffusion of hybrid corn seed in Vojvodina/Serbia
Authors: Janković Dejan , Milić Dragan , Novakov Marina
Published: January 2022

The paper analyzes the modernization process of agricultural production in Serbia/Vojvodina, observed through the intensification of mercantile corn production that takes place by introducing the genetics of high-yielding seeds. This process is analyzed for the period of last 20 years through the theoretical-hypothetical framework of the theory of diffusion of innovations, in this case, the diffusion of seeds of non-Serbian seed companies (after 2000), which resulted in more intensive production, higher yields and different production practice of farmers in Serbia. The empirical research was conducted on a sample of 110 farmers and very similar to previous research on this topic, proved the innovativeness of certain producer groups and the relations between the diffusion of this innovation and the size of farms, values, habits and behaviour patterns of farmers.
Attitudes towards multilingualism and knowledge of the language of the community as an element of the educational policy in Kosovo and Metohija
Authors: Šuvaković Aleksandra
Published: January 2022

The paper starts from the adopted European concept of multilingualism and lists the results of its application in Serbia's language policy. The results are shown of the research into the attitudes of the students in the territory of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija towards foreign language learning, as well as learning the language of the other ethnic community. The research was conducted at the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 on the stratified quota sample among the students in Kosovska Mitrovica and Priština, by applying the field survey technique. According to them, it can be concluded that both populations are aware of the need to learn one (English that is dominant) or more foreign languages, the knowledge of which is relatively well self-evaluated; however, there is no developed awareness of the need to know the language of the other ethnic community, so there is a pronounced opposition to its introduction in the schooling system.
The village time in a new cognitive framework
Authors: Vukićević Slobodan
Published: January 2022

The sociological cognitive framework of analyzing and interpreting the village time is founded on the trilogy of human, man's and humanity time. The general theoretical approach is specified on the village time with the sovereignty of human time, peasant's (man's) time and the village community (humanity) time. All three types of time have special roles, functions, importance, meaning and sense in the constitutive and regulatory establishment of the method of production of the village and social life on the whole. In their interference, the energy is manifested of the absolute zero point of the social universe time, as man's - social time. The work sketches an ideal-type form of the village time, which can be only a theoretical-methodological means revealing logos assumptions of the positive correlation of the human, peasant's and village community time. Such ideal-type form of the village of time has a cognitive and practical character. The cognitive one implies discovering the symmetry of human, peasant's and humanity time of the village community, and the causes of the appearance of asymmetry. The practical one implies the construction of a constitutive and regulatory structure of the social system of a certain society and the place and role of the village community in that society, with the aim of achieving progress as the fulfilment of fundamental human needs.
Infancia ante el VIH/SIDA. Apuntes para la atención desde el Trabajo Social
Authors: Acevedo Alemán Jesús , Carranza Valdez Gabriela Elisa
Published: January 2022

La problemática que se aborda en este ensayo es cómo el padecimiento del VIH/SIDA en la infancia, dentro de un contexto familiar, representa un escenario de vulnerabilidad, no sólo por el deterioro de su salud física y emocional, sino también en términos de la estigmatización a la que pueden ser objeto en sus entornos inmediatos. Para ello, se plantea una discusión teórica y conceptual en torno a la vulnerabilidad en la familia y en la infancia con VIH/SIDA. De tal manera, que posibilite el marco referencial para una adecuada atención desde el Trabajo Social. Destacando aquellos aspectos teóricos, conceptuales y de atención que tanto, los profesionales, los padres de familia, y aquellos involucrados en dicha problemática deben considerar al momento que interactúen con poblaciones infantiles que atraviesen por esta enfermedad.

Published: January 2022

Background/Aims: Few studies have measured the accuracy of prognostic scores for upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) among cancer patients. Thereby, we compared the prognostic scores for predicting major outcomes in cancer patients with UGIB. Secondarily, we developed a new model to detect patients who might require hemostatic care.Methods: A prospective research was performed in a tertiary hospital by enrolling cancer patients admitted with UGIB. Clinical and endoscopic findings were obtained through a prospective database. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to gauge the power of each score.Results: From April 2015 to May 2016, 243 patients met the inclusion criteria. The AIMS65 (area under the curve [AUC] 0.85) best predicted intensive care unit admission, while the Glasgow-Blatchford score best predicted blood transfusion (AUC 0.82) and the low-risk group (AUC 0.92). All scores failed to predict hemostatic therapy and rebleeding. The new score was superior (AUC 0.74) in predicting hemostatic therapy. The AIMS65 (AUC 0.84) best predicted in-hospital mortality.Conclusions: The scoring systems for prognostication were validated in the group of cancer patients with UGIB. A new score was developed to predict hemostatic therapy. Following this result, future prospective research should be performed to validate the new score.

This issue of the Journal of Literary Education is dedicated to Good Practices, i.e. case studies,methods, teaching practices and activities that have proven to be successful and useful forthe teaching of literature and literary education in general. However, Good Practices areinextricably linked to the theory, theoretical developments and paradigm shifts that haveshaped literary education as an academic subject. Thus, good practices reflect a shift inphilosophy and teaching methodology in the teaching of literature, moving the teaching ofliterature away from the strict text-centered model. Literature teaching is now understood asa field of self-active learning and creation, experiential literary experience, active reading andmaking sense of the world of texts. The cultivation of literacy, aesthetic enjoyment, theeffortless interaction of the student-reader with the text, multiple activations and studentexpressions are just some of the main axes of the good practices presented in thecontributions of this special issue.

El Libro del arte de cozina de Diego Granado Maldonado. Estado del arte
Authors: De Benedetto Nancy
Published: January 2022

Resumen: Sobre el recetario de Diego Granado no se ha escrito mucho y siguen circulando hipótesis y errores que dependen básicamente de la falta de una edición crítica que aclare la procedencia de las diversas partes del texto y, sobre todo, que facilite su lectura. Se trata de un texto muy heterogéneo y algo caótico con el que me enfrento aquí solo para presentar un análisis de las cuestiones más importantes relativas al tratamiento de sus dos fuentes principales. Por una parte, realiza Granado un plagio del Libro de guisados de Robert de Nola (1529). Por el otro, traduce buena parte de la Opera de Bartolomeo Scappi (1570). El método de trabajo del autor revela diversas incongruencias cultuales y lingüísticas que se han observado respecto al tratamiento de los ictiónimos. Palabras clave: tratados, recetarios, textos fuente, traducción, ictiónimos.Abstract: Not much has been written about diego Granado’s cookbool and hypotheses and errors continue to circulate that basically depend on the lack of a criticale edition that clarifies the origin of the various parts of the text and, above all, that facilitates its reading. It is a very heterogeneous and somewhat chaotic text wchich I am faced here only to present a recognition of the most important questions regarding the treatment of its two main sources. On the one hand Granado plagiarizes Robert de Nola’s Libro de guisados (1529) which edition we fix here. On the other he tranalates the main part of Bartolomeo Scappi’s Opera (1570). The author’s working method reveals various cultural and linguistic inconsistencies that have been observed in relation to the treatment of ichthionyms.Keywords: treaties, cookbooks, source texts, translation, ichtionyms.

Ruptura Urbana. Las relaciones entre la morfología urbana y la estructura social de L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona, España)
Authors: Caamaño López Alejandro
Published: January 2022

Resumen: L’Hospitalet de Llobregat continúa afrontando proyectos urbanísticos de grandes dimensiones, como la segunda fase del Plan de Dirección Urbanística Gran Vía -PDU Gran Vía-, con una inversión pública prevista de 150 millones; la configuración de Santa Eulàlia Avenue; y la proliferación de HUTs alrededor de toda la ciudad en los últimos años, o la creación del Plan de Distrito Cultural de perímetro abierto. La aparición de grandes inversiones urbanísticas y grandes cambios que ha afrontado la ciudad, generando una gran dualidad entre las zonas de Collblanc-La Torrasa, Florida-Les Planes o Pubilla Cases como eje norte de la ciudad en relación a la zona sur en la que se concentran gran parte de estos nuevos procesos urbanísticos, obliga a plantearse la distribución de la población en la ciudad según niveles de renta mediante procesos de migración forzosa y selectiva intramunicipales y extramunicipales. Examinando este caso podemos observar el aumento de la segregación residencial socioeconómica en relación al aumento del precio del alquiler y suelo e identificar los factores que explican las pautas de estructuración socioresidencial durante este periodo mediante un proceso de sistematización bibliográfica y fuentes secundarias junto un análisis cualitativo de observación directa y entrevistas a los diversos actores implicados en la ciudad.

Abstract: L'Hospitalet de Llobregat continues to face large-scale town projects, such as the second phase of the Gran Vía Urban Planning Plan -PDU Gran Vía-, with a planned public investment of 150 million; the configuration of Santa Eulàlia Avenue; and the proliferation of HUTs around the city in recent years, or the creation of the Cultural District Plan with open perimeter. The emergence of big urban investments and big changes that the city has faced, generating a great duality between the areas of Collblanc-La Torrasa, Florida-Les Planes or Pubilla Cases as the north axis of the city in relation to the southern area in which most of these new urban processes are concentrated, forces us to consider the distribution of the population in the city according to income levels through forced and selective migration processes intra-municipal and extra-municipal. Examining this case, we can observe the increase in socioeconomic residential segregation in relation to the increase in the price of rent and land and identify the factors that explain the patterns of the socio-residential structuring during this period through a process of bibliographic systematization and secondary sources together with a qualitative analysis of direct observation and interviews with the various actors involved in the city.

Reseña. Antropoceno, reproducción de capital y comunismo
Authors: Bergua Jorge
Published: January 2022

Resumen. Al comienzo de la presente obra, el autor conceptualiza el término Antropoceno desde la premisa de una nueva época geológica en la historia de la Tierra. En ella, sostiene, interaccionan diversas crisis desde dentro del sistema capitalista, fundamentalmente; la crisis secular de valorización del capital. Esta crisis, expone, nos coloca en una situación de emergencia planetaria (afecta simultáneamente a todas las geosferas terrestres), y tiene su origen en el modo de desarrollo y producción extractivista y fosilista, que convulsiona por la mercantilización y la reproducción de capital. Por último, apoyado en el análisis sociometabólico de reproducción del modo capitalista, propone la posibilidad de superar esta crisis a través de la organización de las sociedades que, conscientes de la coyuntura histórica, logren resolver las contradicciones en un planeta que se fractura.

Economía circular de la aceituna. Proyecto de Cooperación Leader en la Comunidad Valenciana (España)
Authors: Maestrat Plana Alta GAL
Published: January 2022

Resumen: Siete Grupos de Acción Local (GAL) de la Comunitat Valenciana se han unido para dar vida al Proyecto de Cooperación Leader “Economía Circular de la Aceituna. Aprovechamiento de subproductos de la producción de aceite de oliva”, con el fin de investigar todos los factores que hagan posible la utilización del alperujo como alimento para la cabaña de extensivo del medio rural valenciano, algo que supondría una solución más económica y adecuada que la utilización directa de piensos, y la mejora de la economía de las zonas rurales de la Comunitat Valenciana. Para ello se han desarrollado dos bloques de actuaciones, globales y zonificadas. Las actuaciones globales son aquellas que afectan a los siete GAL participantes, y las zonificadas son las que afectan solo a algunos de los GAL participantes. Entre las primeras, encontramos acciones de formación, difusión y marketing, y elaboración de documentos estratégicos. Entre las segundas, acciones concretas bien para fomentar el uso del alperujo en alimentación animal: evaluación de limitantes y alternativas de gestión, bien para el diseño de raciones con alperujo específicas para rumiantes en extensivo. Este proyecto evidencia la necesidad de concretar unos planes de viabilidad reales y locales del uso del alperujo que puedan estar avalados por el compromiso de los actores clave y que, además, puedan contar con el apoyo de las administraciones públicas.

Expense books of Yeniseian Siberia of the XVII century as a linguistic source
Authors: Gorodilova Lyudmila Mikhailovna
Published: January 2022

This research is conducted within the framework of linguistic source studies, the theoretical basis of which was formed as part of the Sector of Linguistic Source Studies and Research of the Monuments of the Russian Language of V. V. Vinogradov Institute of the Russian Language. The object of this article is the genres of customs record management, which are rarely involved in historical and linguistic research. The subject of this article is the expense books of Yeniseian Siberia stored in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Documents. Its brief overview is intended to draw attention of the scholars to high linguistic capacity of these manuscripts. The relevance of the selected topic is substantiated by the need to solve one of the key tasks of linguistic source studies – introduction of new sources with high linguistic capacity into the scientific discourse. The application of paleographic, historiographical, formulary analysis, and historical-lexicological analysis establish the affiliation of these manuscripts to the local scribes; determine their structure and form of texts of the expense books; reveal most common lexical-semantic groups and individual lexemes that were not recorded in other customs materials. The specificity of expense books allow using them as a reliable onomastic source that reflects not only the all-Russian, but also local processes of formation of the Russian anthroponymycon. The introduction of the regional expense books with high linguistic capacity into the scientific discourse broadens the representation on the Old Russian language, provides reliable information on the lexis and onomastic system on the periphery of the Moscow State.

The EUV source with high conversion efficiency is an important part of EUV lithography system. The experiment on dual-pulse irradiated Gd target is carried out to realize the stronger 6.7 nm EUV emission output. Firstly, we compute the contribution of transition arrays of the form 4p-4d and 4d-4f from their open 4d subshell in charge states Gd18+−Gd27+, and transition arrays of the form 4d-4f from their open 4d subshell in charge states Gd14+−Gd17+ on the near 6.7 nm EUV source. Subsequently, the experimental results of the dual pulse laser irradiated Gd target show that the intensity of 6.7 nm peak EUV emission decreases first, then increases and drops again due to the plasma density decreasing gradually when the delay time between the pre-pulse and main-pulse increases from 0−500 ns. The strongest intensity of 6.7 nm peak EUV emission is generated when the delay time is 100 ns. At the same time, the spectrum efficiency is higher when the delay time is 100 ns, which is 33% higher than that of single pulse laser. In addition, the experimental results show that the half width of EUV spectrum produced by dual pulse in the delay between 10−500 ns is narrower than that of signal laser pulse due to the fact that the method of dual pulse can suppress the self-absorption effect. The half width is the narrowest when the delay is 30 ns, which is about 1/3 time of EUV spectrum width generated by a single pulse. At the same time, the narrowing of Gd EUV spectrum improves the spectral utilization efficiency near 6.7 nm wavelength (within 0.6% bandwidth).

Understanding cortical microcircuits requires thorough measurement of physiological properties of synaptic connections formed within and between diverse subclasses of neurons. Towards this goal, we combined spatially precise optogenetic stimulation with multicellular recording to deeply characterize intralaminar and translaminar monosynaptic connections to supragranular (L2/3) neurons in the mouse visual cortex. The reliability and specificity of multiphoton optogenetic stimulation were measured across multiple Cre lines, and measurements of connectivity were verified by comparison to paired recordings and targeted patching of optically identified presynaptic cells. With a focus on translaminar pathways, excitatory and inhibitory synaptic connections from genetically defined presynaptic populations were characterized by their relative abundance, spatial profiles, strength, and short-term dynamics. Consistent with the canonical cortical microcircuit, layer 4 excitatory neurons and interneurons within L2/3 represented the most common sources of input to L2/3 pyramidal cells. More surprisingly, we also observed strong excitatory connections from layer 5 intratelencephalic neurons and potent translaminar inhibition from multiple interneuron subclasses. The hybrid approach revealed convergence to and divergence from excitatory and inhibitory neurons within and across cortical layers. Divergent excitatory connections often spanned hundreds of microns of horizontal space. In contrast, divergent inhibitory connections were more frequently measured from postsynaptic targets near each other.

Background:

Variants in IFIH1, a gene coding the cytoplasmatic RNA sensor MDA5, regulate the response to viral infections. We hypothesized that IFIH1 rs199076 variants would modulate host response and outcome after severe COVID-19.

Methods:

Patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with confirmed COVID-19 were prospectively studied and rs1990760 variants determined. Peripheral blood gene expression, cell populations, and immune mediators were measured. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy volunteers were exposed to an MDA5 agonist and dexamethasone ex-vivo, and changes in gene expression assessed. ICU discharge and hospital death were modeled using rs1990760 variants and dexamethasone as factors in this cohort and in-silico clinical trials.

Results:

About 227 patients were studied. Patients with the IFIH1 rs1990760 TT variant showed a lower expression of inflammation-related pathways, an anti-inflammatory cell profile, and lower concentrations of pro-inflammatory mediators. Cells with TT variant exposed to an MDA5 agonist showed an increase in IL6 expression after dexamethasone treatment. All patients with the TT variant not treated with steroids survived their ICU stay (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.49, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29–4.79). Patients with a TT variant treated with dexamethasone showed an increased hospital mortality (HR: 2.19, 95% CI: 1.01–4.87) and serum IL-6. In-silico clinical trials supported these findings.

Conclusions:

COVID-19 patients with the IFIH1 rs1990760 TT variant show an attenuated inflammatory response and better outcomes. Dexamethasone may reverse this anti-inflammatory phenotype.

Attenuated and normalized item-item product network for sequential recommendation
Authors: Di Weiqiang , Wu Zhihao , Lin Youfang
Published: January 2022

Sequential recommendation has become a research trending that exploits user’s recent behaviors for recommendation. The user-item interactions contain a sequential dependency that we need to capture to better recommend. Item-item Product (IIP), which models item co-occurrence, has shown good potential by characterizing the pairwise item relationships. Generally, recent behaviors have a greater impact on the current than long-term historical behaviors. And the decaying rate of influence around infrequent behaviors is fast. However, IIP ignores such a phenomenon when considering item-item relevance and leads to suboptimal performance. In this paper, we propose an attenuated IIP mechanism which is position-aware and decays the influence of historical items at an exponential rate. Besides, In order to make up for scenarios where the influence is not in a monotonous decline trend, we add another normalized IIP mechanism to complement the attenuated IIP mechanism. It also strengthen the model’s ability in discriminating favorite items under the sparse data condition by enlarging the gap of matching degree between items. Experiments conducted on five real-world datasets demonstrate that our proposed model achieves better performance than a set of state-of-the-art sequential recommendation models.

Background

We aimed to construct a novel epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related gene pairs (ERGPs) signature to predict overall survival (OS) in skin cutaneous melanoma (CM) patients.

Methods

Expression data of the relevant genes, corresponding clinicopathological parameters, and follow-up data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Univariate Cox regression analysis was utilized to identify ERGPs significantly associated with OS, and LASSO analysis was used to identify the genes used for the construction of the ERGPs signature. The optimal cutoff value determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to classify patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. Survival curves were generated using the Kaplan–Meier method, and differences between the two groups were estimated using the log-rank test. The independent external datasets GSE65904 and GSE19234 were used to verify the performance of the ERGPs signature using the area under the curve (AUC) values. In addition, we also integrated clinicopathological parameters and risk scores to develop a nomogram that can individually predict the prognosis of patients with CM.

Results

A total of 104 ERGPs related to OS were obtained, of which 21 ERGPs were selected for the construction of the signature. All CM patients were stratified into high-and low-risk groups based on an optimal risk score cutoff value of 0.281. According to the Kaplan–Meier analysis, the mortality rate in the low-risk group was lower than that in the high-risk group in the TCGA cohort (P < 0.001), GSE65904 cohort (P = 0.006), and GSE19234 cohort (P = 0.002). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that our ERGP signature was an independent risk factor for OS in CM patients in the three cohorts (for TCGA: HR, 2.560; 95% CI [1.907–3.436]; P < 0.001; for GSE65904: HR = 2.235, 95% CI [1.492–3.347], P < 0.001; for GSE19234: HR = 2.458, 95% CI [1.065–5.669], P = 0.035). The AUC value for predicting the 5-year survival rate of patients with CM of our developed model was higher than that of two previously established prognostic signatures. Both the calibration curve and the C-index (0.752, 95% CI [0.678–0.826]) indicated that the developed nomogram was highly accurate. Most importantly, the decision curve analysis results showed that the nomogram had a higher net benefit than that of the American Joint Committee on Cancer stage system.

Conclusion

Our study established an ERGPs signature that could be potentially used in a clinical setting as a genetic biomarker for risk stratification of CM patients. In addition, the ERGPs signature could also predict which CM patients will benefit from PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors.
