Synthesis, characterisation and optimisation of bulk molecularly imprinted polymers from nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Authors: Nkosi S , Mahlamb P , Chimuka L
Published: June 2022

The scope of this study was to synthesise and characterise the multi-template molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) and to use target compounds, naproxen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, fenoprofen and gemfibrozil as templates so as to achieve all maximum extraction efficiency for all compounds. These compounds are a class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) generally used by humans, as they have pain-relieving activities. MlPs are cross-linked polymeric materials that display high binding capacity and selectivity towards templates of interest. The synthesis consisted of a bulk polymerisation process at 60 °C by using NSAIDs as multi-templates, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), 2-vinyl pyridine (2VP) and toluene as cross-linker, functional monomer and porogen, respectively. Nonimprinted polymer (NIP) was synthesised in a similar manner with the omission of the templates. Characteristics of the polymers were analysed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). An adsorption method of NSAIDs using the bulk polymerised MIP was investigated under various pH, mass, concentration and time conditions. Other parameters included adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms. Uptake of NSAIDs from an aqueous medium was achieved with 40 mg of MIP at pH 4.0 within 10 min of contact time. The extraction efficiencies achieved for NSAIDs in aqueous solutions ranged from 90-98% for all compounds tested. The adsorption capacity obtained for MIP ranged from 1.230-1.249 mg g-1 and 0.90-1.136 mg g-1 for NIP, whereas the selectivity values ranged from 1.12-2.4. A kinetic study revealed that adsorption obeys a second-order rate, and the Langmuir model explains adsorption isotherm data. This work showed that the multi-template approach for all the target compounds has the potential to give maximum extraction efficiencies in MIP extraction systems from aqueous samples.

Authors: Baumgardt Morris
Published: June 2022

Organ models have received widespread attention in the study of SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen causing the current COVID-19 pandemic. Human-based organ models can provide strong predictive value to investigate the tropism, virulence, and replication kinetics of viral pathogens. Applicable to a large set of organoid models and viruses, we provide a step-by-step work instruction for the infection of human alveolar-like organoids with SARS-CoV-2 in this protocol collection. We also prepared a detailed description on state-of-the-art methodologies to assess the infection impact and the analysis of relevant host factors in organoids. This protocol collection consists of five different sets of protocols. Set 1 describes the protein extraction from human alveolar-like organoids and the determination of protein expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) and FURIN as exemplary host factors of SARS-CoV-2. Set 2 provides detailed guidance on the extraction of RNA from human alveolar-like organoids and the subsequent qPCR to quantify the expression level of e.g., ACE2 or other host factors of SARS-CoV-2 on RNA level. Protocol set 3 contains an in-depth explanation on how to infect human alveolar-like organoids with SARS-CoV-2 and how to quantify the viral replication by plaque assay and viral E gene-based RT-qPCR. Set 4 provides a step-by-step protocol for the isolation of single cells from infected human alveolar-like organoids for further processing in single-cell RNA sequencing or flow cytometry. Set 5 presents a detailed protocol on how to perform the fixation of human alveolar-like organoids and guides through all steps of immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization to visualize SARS-CoV-2 and its host factors. The infection and all subsequent analytical methods have been successfully validated by biological replications with human alveolar-like organoids based on material from different donors.

Hate Speech and Binary Exclusions in Europe: A Digital and Communicative Approach
Authors: Galdámez Morales Ana
Published: June 2022

Hate speech targeting homosexuals, transgender people and other sexual orientations, as well as gender identities that deviate from the prevailing traditional binary system pervades social networks and digital communication channels. As a result, it is causing the exclusion of these groups, which often opt for invisibility in order to survive. Freedom of expression is an essential and preferential right in Western democratic systems. Based on this premise, this paper delves into the European legal and jurisprudential framework on hate speech –especially, acts of transphobia, homophobia and violence based on sexual orientation and gender identity– as a limit to freedom of expression, when other fundamental values, such as dignity, are at stake. Based on an analysis of the main normative instruments that have attempted to define the concept, as well as recent case law on hate speech, the aim of this article is to outline a consensus and to establish stable parameters to configure a legal response –valid in the European context– to cases of homophobic or transphobic speech.
The Standards of Protection of Trans People Elaborated by the Court of Strasbourg and their Incorporation in the Recent Spanish Legislative Proposal
Authors: Romboli Silvia
Published: June 2022

This article has two main purposes. On the one hand, it aims to systematise the progress made by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in the creation of common standards for the protection of trans people, in particular regarding rectification of one’s registered sex. On the other, it intends to verify to what extent said standards have been incorporated into the Draft Bill on LGBTI rights currently under discussion in Spain. To this end, it will analyse the Draft Bill from the standpoint of the case-law developed by the ECtHR on the matter. It will also make some critical reflections on this case-law from the standpoint of the rights it is set to protect.

How Must a Polygon Be According to Hard of Hearing Students? An Investigation with a Semiotic Approach
Authors: Gürefe Nejla
Published: June 2022

This study explores how hard of hearing students decided whether the shape was a polygon and which semiotic sources were used when the students engaged in explaining geometrical concepts. It was defined how the students interacted with geometric shapes using semiotic sources and examined how such multimodal interactions with geometric figures displayed their reasoning. The study was a case study and carried out three hard of hearing students. The data was collected through interviews and analyzed with content analysis. It was detected that the students paid attention to edge, angle, and vertex of the shapes in the process of identifying polygon. It was seen that the students used gesture, speech, sign language, inscriptions which are semiotic sources and personal or mathematical definitions to express polygon concept. However, it has been determined that students have some misconceptions in the process of explaining concepts. It is suggested that the words used in the concept definition should be selected carefully by the teachers to teach the concepts correctly and the teachers use hand signs for concepts in their lesson.
Teachers' perceptions of using technology to teach mathematics during COVID-19 remote learning
Authors: Amedu Jerome , Hollebrands Karen
Published: June 2022

There are concerns that current remote learning efforts in response to COVID-19 may not be measuring up to the quality of classroom-based instruction. This study investigated two high school teachers’ perceptions of the issues surrounding teaching mathematics remotely and factors that contributed to their use of technology while teaching online. The results show that both teachers found teaching mathematics online more difficult compared to classroom-based instruction. The main concerns expressed by these teachers focused on the difficulty to receive feedback from students and limited student interaction. This made it difficult to assess students’ understanding during lessons. They also expressed concerns about the difficulty in implementing aspects of a task-based curriculum that relies heavily on classroom discourse and interaction; and the challenge of finding quality and usable resources for online instruction.  This study also identified several factors that influenced teachers’ use of technology during COVID-19 remote learning. Implications for teacher professional development, online instruction, and policy are discussed.

Closed reduction and titanium elastic nailing in diaphyseal femoral and tibial fractures in children
Authors: KÜÇÜK Ahmet , ASFUROĞLU Zeynel Mert , KÖSE Nusret
Published: June 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiological results of children who were treated using titanium elastic nail (TEN) for femoral and tibial diaphyseal fractures.

Materials and Methods: A total of 49 (15 female, 34 male) femur shaft fractures (FF group) and 35 (12 female, 23 male) tibial shaft fractures (TF group) were retrospectively analyzed. Time until the operation (in days), duration of hospital stays (in days), time to union (in weeks), and the time to implant removal (in months) were recorded. In the final follow up; limb length discrepancy (mm), angulation, restrictions in the range of hip and knee joint motion were measured. Flynn Score was used for clinical results.

Results: The mean age was 7.96 in the FF group and 9.34 in the TF group. The mean follow-up time was 51.3 months in the FF Group and 58.3 months in the TF group. The mean duration of hospital stay was 1.4 days in both groups. The mean time for bony union was 9.7 weeks and 10.7 weeks for the FF and the TF groups, respectively. The mean time to implant removal was 7.1 months and 6.22 months for the FF and the TF groups, respectively. Flynn scores were poor in 3 patients, successful in 6 patients and excellent in 40 patients in the FF group; whereas it was poor in 1 patient, successful in 2 patients and excellent in 32 patients in the TF group. None of the patients had major complications. Bony union was achieved in all patients.

Conclusion: Intramedullary fixation using TEN is a successful treatment method with satisfactory clinical results and low complication rates for pediatric femoral and tibial diaphyseal fractures.
A comparative evaluation of the angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) and alarin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: TİMURKAAN Mustafa , AYYILDIZ Hakan
Published: June 2022

Purpose: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most serious public health problems that affect millions of people worldwide. There are 537 million adults diagnosed with diabetes worldwide and approximately 90% of these adults have type 2 diabetes. The study examined angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) and Alarin levels of the patients diagnosed with T2DM in comparison with each other and with the healthy control group.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted with a diabetes group consisting of 67 patients who were newly diagnosed with T2DM and who did not use any medication, and the control group consisting of 55 healthy people. ANGPTL8 and Alarin levels were measured using the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method.

Results: We found a significant increase in alarin and ANGPTL8 levels in the diabetic group compared to the control group. Furthermore, a positive correlation between Alarin levels and ANGPTL8, triglyceride, and insulin levels was found in the patient group. In addition, while both adipokines were higher in males in the patient group, both adipokines levels were lower in males than females in the control group, and there was a significant difference in ANGPTL8 levels.

Conclusion: High levels of ANGPTL8 and Alarin may facilitate the development of diabetes through the insulin resistance pathway. If this mechanism is more clearly elucidated, there may be a significant improvement in diabetic treatment projection.

Purpose: While most studies of fluoxetine have focused on its effects on the cardio/cerebrovascular systems, what is known about its vasomotor effect is still limited. This study was planned to investigate the vasoactive effects of fluoxetine on smooth muscle in rat thoracic aortic rings in an experimental setup.

Materials and Methods: 24 adult Wistar albino rats were divided into two groups. Group1-Endothelium intact group, Group2-Endothelium damaged group. Descending thoracic aorta was isolated after cervical dislocation. The aorta rings were immediately placed in organ bath chambers containing Krebs solution. Changes in isometric tension of aorta rings were recorded. Phenylephrine 10-6M was administered and contractions were recorded in groups. Then, fluoxetine was given to Group 1 in cumulative doses (0.01, 0.1, 1, 2 mM). Endothelial damage was created in Group 2. After controlling the endothelial damage by acetylcholine 10-6M, rings were washed for an hour and a second dose of phenylephrine was administered and then fluoxetine was given cumulatively to Group 2 and contractions were recorded.

Results: While the dose-dependent main vasodilator effect of fluoxetine was significantly different [F (5.110) =72.740, p

Authors: GÜNTEL Murat , UYSAL Alper , MELEK Ismet
Published: June 2022

Purpose: We aimed to investigate the factors affecting the etiopathogenesis by comparing the restless legs syndrome patients with the healthy control group in terms of some laboratory parameters.

Materials and Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with restless legs syndrome were included in the study. A control group that was similar in terms of age and gender was formed. Both groups were compared in terms of iron, ferritin, iron-binding capacity, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, ALT, AST, hemogram, creatinine, fasting blood sugar, and thyroid hormone levels.

Results: 37 patients with restless legs syndrome and 41 controls were included in the study. In the restless legs syndrome group hemoglobin, ferritin, iron, fasting blood sugar, vitamin D, and fT4 values were 12.7 (10.3-16.0) g/dL, 37.3 (3.7-89.4) mg/L, 62 (21-195) μg/dL, 96 (65-250) mg/L, 11.26 (4.20-41.57) ug/L and 1.24 (0.73-2.14) µg/dL respectively, they were 14.8 (12.3-16.1) g/dL, 56 (9-189) mg/L, 90 (30-245) µg/dL, 91 (70-107) mg/L, 17.31 (5.73-32.90) µg/L and 1.08 (0.63-2.04) µg/dL respectively in the control group.There were statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of hemoglobin, ferritin, iron, fasting blood sugar, vitamin D, and fT4 levels.

Conclusion: Hemoglobin and iron parameters, vitamin D levels, fasting blood sugar and T4 levels should be evaluated in patients with restless legs syndrome and should be replaced if necessary. Correction of deficiencies may be beneficial for patients' clinics.
3D Shear Wave Velocity Model of Salt Lake Valley via Rayleigh Wave Ellipticity across a Temporary Geophone Array
Authors: Zeng Qicheng , Lin Fan-Chi , Allam Amir A.
Published: June 2022

We construct a 3D shear velocity model of the Salt Lake Valley using Rayleigh waves excited by the 31 March 2020 Mw 6.5 central Idaho earthquake recorded on a 168-station temporary nodal geophone network and the 49-station permanent regional network. The temporary array—deployed in response to the March 18 Mw 5.7 Magna earthquake—serendipitously recorded clear surface waves between 10 and 20 s period from the Idaho event at ∼500 km epicentral distance, from which we measure both Rayleigh wave phase velocity and ellipticity (H/V ratio). In addition, we employ multicomponent earthquake coda cross correlation to extend the measurements down to 5 s period. Because Rayleigh wave ellipticity features outstanding shallow sensitivity, we invert for a 3D upper crust VS model of the Salt Lake Valley. Our model shows basin structure in general agreement with and complements the current Community Velocity Model, which is mostly constrained by borehole and gravity measurements. Our model thus provides critical information for future earthquake hazard assessment studies, which require detailed shallow velocity structure.

Reciprocity vs. Commitment in Bank Marketing Strategies
Authors: Silva Sergio Da , Santo Barbara Espirito , Sigrist Felipe , Matsushita Raul
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate how bank marketing should respond to the banker’s paradox. Customers who need money the most are at risk for credit and thus unable to obtain a loan, according to the banker’s paradox. This relates to the fact that the client-bank relationship is based on reciprocity rather than commitment. We hypothesize that a bank marketing strategy that masquerades as a commitment will be more successful because clients have evolved to understand the superiority of commitment and be receptive to its cues. We put this marketing strategy to the test by sending 413 participants advertising slogans based on two types of cooperation: reciprocity and commitment. Our findings indicate that people do prefer bank slogans that imply a commitment-based relationship. The work’s novelty comes from its contribution to the literature of an evolutionary psychology perspective, which shows that commitment is a critical component of a successful bank marketing strategy.
On the specific features of attributive constructions in the texts of M. Tsvetaeva
Authors:   Samara State University of Public Administration «International Market Institute», Gubanov Sergey A.
Published: June 2022

The article deals with the description of the specific features of attributive constructions (epithet complexes) in M. Tsvetaeva’s texts. The Collected Works of the poet, as well as the Dictionary of Poetic Language served as the material for this research. The purpose of the research was to establish the structural and semantic idiostyle features of constructions containing words of attributive semantics in the poet’s texts. The research establishes that in the M. Tsvetaeva’s idiostyle, characteristic phrases and attributes occupy one of the leading places; some semantic groups of epithets (color, emotional evaluation and some others) and concepts defined by words reflect the conceptual poetic picture of the world. In the process of analyzing the linguistic material, consistent patterns were revealed in the compatibility of epithets and defined objects. The conclusion has been drawn on the predominance of occasional forms of epithets of anthropomorphic semantics as part of attributive constructions. The paper proves that the structural and semantic features of attributive constructions revealed during the analysis reflect in M. Tsvetaeva’s texts the specific features of the poet’s worldview, built on emotionality, particular expressiveness. Such configurations of epithet complexes built on repetitions of epithets, their mirror semantic reflection, phonetic similarity, are a striking feature of M. Tsvetaeva’s texts. It is noted that the investigation of the epithet complex as a semantic unity of the epithet and the defined word (the object of epithetation) is an important stage in the study of the poet’s idiolect. The conclusion is made about the necessity for further linguistic analysis of the corpus of epithets and attributive constructions in the M. Tsvetaeva’s texts in order to provide a multidimensional description of the linguistic specificity of poet's idiostyle, which will serve as an indispensable contribution to the epithet theory and the study of Tsvetaeva`s oeuvre.
Ways of compensation for nonverbal communication in SMS
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Temirova Dzhannet A. , Morgoun Natalia L. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: June 2022

Communication, generally, features not just a system in which the interaction takes place, but also a process, ways of communication, which enable creation, transmission and reception of various information. Nowadays, spoken communication is classified as one of the main types of communication; it is premised to use natural non-verbal and verbal channels simultaneously and in a seamless uniformity; written communication, which occurs as communicative activity among communicators by means of texts; non-verbal communication actualized by means of body language (facial expressions, gestures, etc.) and electronic communication – a relatively new way of communication – which, however, is actively penetrating modern life due to the opportunities which it presents. This article attempts to analyze lexical and syntactic units in English text messages, which help addressees to emphasize their emotional state in a written text while writing it; namely it attempts to demonstrate how non-verbal communication means are actualized via electronic communication. The analysis was carried out on the material of the messages in the Singapore variant of the English language – Singlish SMS – from the corpus SMS NUS. The English language is the dominant one in Singapore these days, prevailing over three other state languages: Chinese, Malay and Tamil. It is used in everyday life in interpersonal communication as a lingua franca and serves as a means of international communication and a means of uniting the country. Upon analysis some characteristic features of SMS messages have been identified, such as punctuation marks, pragmatic particles and interjections, expressions making up for registering the emotional state of the text author in writing.

Introduction. Modern corporate governance systems of leading domestic corporations take into account, on average, slightly more than 50% of the requirements of the International Best Practices in Corporate Governance, which indicates their imperfection, low corporate reputation in the eyes of the investment community and undercapitalization in the domestic and foreign stock markets. This fact requires a more thorough approach to the design of corporate governance systems, taking into account not only established practices, Russian and international requirements for these systems, but also innovations that appear in the international principles of corporate governance of the OECD. Theoretical analysis. The article analyzes approaches to the process of designing corporate governance systems in Russian corporations, which consist in complying with updated international requirements for “good corporate governance”: long-term sustainable development of a company with a focus on stakeholders, taking into account ESG criteria. The author reveals the content of the design process, substantiates the possibility of using PhICS-modeling in this process. Empirical analysis. The work carried out an audit of the corporate governance system of a particular public corporation, on the basis of which its advantages and inconsistencies with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code were identified. Results. In the process of research, the necessity of the designing corporate governance systems process of Russian corporations is substantiated. On the basis of a special organization, the application of modern criteria for designing a corporate governance system is shown, with the help of PhICS-modeling, directions for improving its quality are developed.

Introduction. In connection with legalization of autonomous cartridges loading to the rifled firearm, the matter of forensic examination of reloaded cases is growing more urgent. Aims and tasks. To examine the regularities of trace formation made by the reloading equipment on reloaded cases in order to identify the method of making cartridges, whose parts they have originally been, and to establish the fact of reloading by means of the same production mechanisms. Experimental part. Examination of the traces formed in the course of a shot and reloading was carried out with hunter’s .300 win mag caliber cartridge cases ejected from .300 win mag caliber Sauer 202 carbine. The following reloading equipment was used: manual threaded (single-stage and turret) presses produced by Neck, threaded molding matrices produced by Redding. Discussion of results. Reloading equipment is considered as a production mechanism depositing traces on the surface of the reloaded cases. In the case of identification (selecting a group of objects from a multitude, determining their group belonging) the structural features of their cutting surfaces, their traces being imprinted on the processed parts, are studied. As a whole, they are suitable for identifying the instrument that formed them. Defects in trace-forming objects (matrices, shellhorder, etc.) can also be seen in the traces on the cases as subclass features. These features can be taken into account in the comparative study of cases to establish the fact of reloading using the same production mechanisms.

Objective: Instead of sugar, artificial sweeteners that do not contain energy are widely used. However, contrary to popular belief, artificial sweeteners are thought to affect metabolism. Thus, purpose of this present study was to evaluate effects of saccharin on serum ghrelin, appetite, and food consumption.

Method: Nine healthy males aged 20-29 participated in the randomized, controlled, and cross-over study. Each participant received 300 ml water, and 300 ml water containing 75 grams sucrose and 240 milligrams saccharin. At baseline, 30th, 60th, 90th, 120th, and 180th min, Visual Analog Scale was applied to evaluate appetite, and blood samples were taken to analyze ghrelin. After 180th min, participants consumed ad libitum diet, and kept 24-hours dietary food intake records until the end of this day.

Results: At 60th and 120th min, mean ghrelin level was higher in drinks containing only water and saccharin compared to drink containing sucrose (p

An introduction to the Byzantine administration in Syro-Palestine on the eve of the Arab conquest
Authors: Paweł Filipczak
Published: June 2022

The work is an introduction to the topic of the Byzantine administration in Syro-Palestine between the reign of Justinian the Great and Heraclius. The book is based both on a thorough analysis of primary sources and on a skillful use of scholarly literature, produced by all the important centres of Byzantine studies. The author combines the findings of other scholars into a coherent whole, discussing a variety of phenomena which characterized the operation of the provincial administration in Syro-Palestine. The work’s main focus is on the administrative geography, the prosopography of the governors and duces of the Syro-Palestinian provinces and of the governors of the Diocese of the East. The book is particularly distinctive in its analysis of various issues from three different perspectives. The topic of the monograph is well-chosen. A monographic study devoted to the Syro-Palestinian administration in the period of the Late Roman Empire remains absent from scholarly literature. The topic choice is also determined by the kind of research into Byzantine civilization which the Łódź centre for Byzantine studies has long been involved in carrying out. The way in which the Author approaches the issues dealt with in the book is also fully justified. In addition to juxtaposing a variety of views, scattered throughout a huge body of literature, the Author offers his own original analyses of source material.

Background: Herbal additives are rich in vitamin C, A and other biological active compounds and may act as a good alternative source to overcome heat stress in broiler chicken. Among herbal additives, rough lemon, amla and aloe vera were easily available during summer and also have an additional advantage of throw away price in comparison to synthetic feed additives available in market. Methods: In order to investigate the effect of supplementation of rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush), amla (Emblica officinalis) and aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) on the performance of broiler chicken (Cobb strain) under summer season, 240-day old chicks were randomly distributed to four treatment groups (n=60). Basal diet (maize-soya based; T0) was same for all the groups except the supplementation of rough lemon juice, amla juice and aloe vera gel @ 2% in drinking water in T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Body weight gain, feed Intake, FCR were calculated during the experiment trial lasted for 42 days during June-July at F.V.Sc. and A.H., R.S. Pura, Jammu. The maximum and minimum temperature was recorded daily at 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. by using digital maximum minimum thermometer. Result: Body weight gain and FCR was found superior in T3 (P greater than 0.05) than T2 and T1 and was inferior in T0. Weekly water intake (ml/bird) was lower in T2 and T3. Benefit cost ratio was highest in T3 (1.313) followed by T2 (1.271), T1 (1.231) and least in T0 (1.071). It may be concluded that aloe vera gel supplementation resulted in better broiler performance followed by amla juice and rough lemon juice supplemented groups.

Background: Enrofloxacin used considerably on large scale among poultry birds. Detection and monitoring of its residues is vital in the domestic and export market. A simple and rapid LCMS/MS method for screening of Enrofloxacin and its metabolite residues in poultry liver samples was described. Methods: Target analytes were extracted with a solvent combination of 5% phosphoric acid in 50% acetonitrile in water. It was followed by deep freezing for efficient separation of the liquid phase. Later extractants were subjected to centrifugation at 4oC, 10,000 rpm for 20 minutes and supernatant was filtered and injected into LCMS/MS. 0.1% formic acid is used as mobile phase additive for both aqueous and organic mobile phase acetonitrile. Result: Accuracy and precision values of the method are within the acceptable limit of ( less than 5% RSD) accorded by the European commission. Standardized method has been applied to determine the Enrofloxacin and Ciprofloxacin residues in liver samples collected in local markets and found within maximum residue limits.
