We report for the very first time self-assembly of a red color dye 7-Amino-6h-anthra[9,1-cd][1,2]thiazol-6-one (AAT),its photophysical properties and its applications in cell imaging.Interestingly, AAT show intense red colour in visible light while it shows the orange colour fluorescence under UV light @312nm.Surprisingly, when this dye was used as cell imaging agent it revealed only green fluorescence inside cells and not red. Hence, the photophysical properties of this dye was very intriguing. Further, when self-assembling properties of this dye was examined it revealed formation of tree like branched structures which appeared red both under green and red filter which was again an unexpected result..Interestingly AAT self-assembly also show morphological transition and the branched tree like structures changes to straight fibres as the solvent is changed from DMSO to THF. Hence, the results of self-assembly and cell imaging were contrary to each other and the photophysical properties of this dye is very unusual as compared to conventional dyes. Our future endeavours willaim to understand this anomalous behaviour in greater details in future through various biophysical assays.
Co-Catalyzed E-(β)-Selective Hydrogermylation of Terminal Alkynes
Authors: Radzhabov Maxim , Mankad Neal
Published: March 2021

We demonstrated unprecedentedly that Co complexes can catalyze hydrogermylation of alkynes. Subsequently, a selective, accessible method was developed to synthesize E-(β)-vinyl(trialkyl)germanes from various terminal alkynes with high yields. As shown on multiple examples, the developed method demonstrates broad functional group tolerance and practical utility for late-stage hydrogermylation of drugs and natural products. The method is compatible with alkynes bearing both aryl and alkyl substituents, providing unrivaled selectivity for previously challenging 1° alkyl-substituted alkynes. Moreover, the catalyst used in this method, Co2(CO)8, is a cheap and commercially available reagent. Conducted mechanistic studies supported syn-addition of Bu3GeH to an alkyne π-complex.
Not Knowing What to Do: A Narrative Reflection on a Medical Student’s First Patient Encounter
Authors: Adams-Gelinas Emmanuel
Published: March 2021

Medicine, though fundamentally a scientific discipline, is the art of transferring experimentally derived knowledge onto the care of patients. The clinician’s role is to master precisely that process. Therefore, in addition to acquiring a strong command of the biomedical sciences, integral to the clinician’s professional duty is the development of his or her identity as a healer.
 
This first-person narrative essay explores a clinical encounter between myself, a first-year medical student with very limited clinical experience, and an elderly man whom I found collapsed on the sidewalk. Fumbling in my clinical decision-making, I settle on simply holding the man’s hand to reassure him that his ambulance is on its way. Later, after reflecting on the event and obsessing over my blunders and hesitations, I finally recognize that the simple act of holding his hand was essential to my role as a future physician and healer, rather than implying clinical inadequacy.

Authors: Poongodi K  , Tamiliniyan P
Published: March 2021

Leucas aspera (Willd.) Linn. belonging to family Lamiaceae is well-known as ‘Thumbai' in Tamil Nadu with traditional medicinal value as an antipyretic and insecticide. The current research work has been carried out to screen the phytochemical content of the aqueous, hexane, ethanol and methanol extract from the whole plant of Leucas aspera. The percentage of yield of the extracts varied according to the organic solvents used in which aqueous yielded 5.4% and methanol yielded 7.8%, respectively. Among the 11 phytochemicals screened, the whole-plant extract showed the presence of 10 phytochemicals. The phytochemical screening result showed that the carbohydrate, protein, lipids, alkaloids, saponins, glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, triterpenoids and phenols were present in the plant sample. Among the different solvent extract, methanol extract exhibited more number of phytochemical presence, and aqueous extract showed the least number of phytochemical presence. Among the different phytochemicals screened, carbohydrates, alkaloids, saponins, glycosides, tannins were present in all the solvent extracts. In contrast, steroids were absent in all the solvent extracts, and lipid was present only in methanol extract. The result suggested that the presence of secondary metabolites of Leucas aspera could be a potential source for antimicrobial, antioxidant activity and cytotoxic activity and the methanolic extract of Leucas aspera could be explored for its potent pharmacological activities.

Restrained concrete shrinkage effect on Concrete Elements strengthened with UHPFRC layers
Authors: Tsioulou Ourania T. , Agaoglu Cemal , Lampropoulos Andreas P.
Published: March 2021

Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) is a relatively new material with superior mechanical properties. Recent published studies have confirmed the beneficial contribution of the addition of UHPFRC layers for the structural upgrade of existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) elements.

In case of structures strengthened with additional concrete elements, one of the crucial parameters for the performance and the durability of the strengthened elements is the restrained concrete shrinkage of the new material. The new concrete layer tends to shrink, but due to the connection with the existing structural elements, tensile stresses are induced to the new layers which may lead to the initiation of cracks, while slip is also induced at the old-to-new concrete interfaces. So far, there are not any published studies on the effect of restrained concrete shrinkage on composite UHPFRC-to-normal concrete elements. In this study, experimental work has been conducted on concrete prisms strengthened with UHPFRC layers. Shrinkage strain recordings have been conducted for the composite prisms alongside with relevant recordings for the free shrinkage measurements of standard UHPFRC prisms. The degree of restrained has been calculated and correlated with the induced stresses, and the beneficial contribution of the steel fibres has been highlighted. Flexural tests of the strengthened beams have also been conducted and the results show significant enhancement of the flexural performance of the examined specimens and very good connection between the new UHPFRC layer and the existing concrete substrate.

Cost-effectiveness and equitable access to vaccines in Ethiopia: an overview and evidence synthesis of the published literature
Authors: Memirie Solomon T , Nigus Mulat , Verguet Stéphane
Published: March 2021

In Ethiopia, despite the introduction of new vaccines and a steady increase in access to immunization services over the last decade, considerable coverage gaps have persisted leading to a heavier vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) burden among poorer households. In this paper, we present a brief overview including available evidence and published studies on vaccine economics in Ethiopia, covering the topics of cost-effectiveness analysis, cost of illness associated with VPDs, equitable access to vaccines, and immunization financing. We can then point that large disparities in vaccine access exist by geographic location, socioeconomic and maternal educational status. Ethiopian households, especially the poorest, can incur impoverishing out-of-pocket expenditures for VPDs. Financing for immunization services has shown modest improvements in Ethiopia over recent years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of economic evaluation studies have pointed to the potentially pro-poor benefits of immunization programs in Ethiopia, yielding health and financial risk protection gains among the poorest households.

Published: March 2021

Purpose: Illicit drug use poses a great threat to the integrity of our society and can lead to major problems such as traffic and workplace accidents, homicides, theft, terrorism mongering and suicide to name a few. Among the variety of commonly used drugs-of-abuse, cannabis, cocaine, opiates, amphetamine and its derivatives have been the most reported. Oral fluid drug testing has been gaining interest as an accurate screening method for the detection of illicit drugs in suspects under influence. In this study, the accuracy of NARCOTEC oral fluid drug-detection system was evaluated in comparison with the cut-off values.
Methods: A handheld device (NARCOTEC version 01.02, Morpho Biotec Limited, London, UK), NARCOTEC test, was used to interpret a total of seven illegal drugs (benzodiazepines, benzodiazepines, opiates, methamphetamine / MDMA, amphetamine, ∆9-THC and cocaine) test results. For the positive control tests, the cassettes were opened and 80 µL of each positive control solution was pipetted onto the appropriate sample pad lane and allowed 3-5 mins to migrate to the end of the nitrocellulose membrane before the cassettes were read by the handheld device. For the negative control tests, the negative control solutions were pipetted at 80 µL to each of the three lanes without any distinction and allowed 3-5 mins to flow before the cassettes were read by the handheld device (Figure 2). 40 positive and 40 negative control tests were performed and read by the handheld device. Finally the accuracy of the analysis for each analyte was determined.
Results and conclusion: Positive and negative control samples were each assayed in 40 different replicates. Among the 80 tests, only BZD yielded one false-negative result within the positive control samples. In this study, NARCOTEC drug detection system was able to detect seven illicit drugs (benzodiazepines, opiates, methamphetamine/MDMA, amphetamine, ∆9-THC and cocaine) with a 99% accuracy and within as little as 5 min. This indicates that NARCOTEC can be safely used for point-of-care drug tests including roadside tests, forensics screening, workplaces, immigration offices, air controllers, pilots and travel ports.
Несостоявшаяся реформа науки
Authors: Семенов Е. В.
Published: March 2021

Необходимость реформы национальной научной системы ясно осознается в России с середины 1980-х годов. Начало реформы неоднократно анонсировалось еще с периода перестройки, но наиболее последовательная попытка реформирования была предпринята лишь в начале 1990-х годов. Эта реформа дала ряд положительных частных результатов, но не привела к интеграции науки в рынок, не трансформировала научно-технологический комплекс в научно-технологическую сеть, не освободила науку от бюрократической формы организации и управления, не утвердила принципы самоорганизации и самоуправления. В 2004–2007 гг. была предпринята еще одна, в целом неудачная, попытка реформирования науки посредством ее интеграции в инновационную систему, которую пытались в те годы создать (к сожалению, тоже без особого успеха). При этом была осуществлена реставрация бюрократической административно-командной системы. В результате сегодня ослабленная российская наука оказалась перед теми же проблемами, что и треть века назад.
Evaluation of the stimulatory and inhibitory effects of Malva sylvestris leaf extract on some beneficial and pathogenic bacteria from the colon
Authors: DEMİRTAŞ Ahu
Published: March 2021

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the stimulatory and inhibitory effects of Malva sylvestris leaf extract on some selected beneficial and pathogenic bacteria from the colon to form a presupposition on its efficacy on intestinal health. The sensitivity of colon bacterial strains to M. sylvestris leaf extract was tested by a broth dilution method in the anaerobic cabinet. Malva sylvestris leaf extract stimulated the growth of Bifidobacterium bifidum from beneficial species starting from 0.06 mg/mL dose (P<0.05). The same stimulatory effect was observed for other beneficial species Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus acidophilus from 0.125 mg/mL dose (P<0.05) and that effect was more obvious for B. infantis. On the other hand, the extract did not have any effect on Lactobacillus casei up to 4 mg/mL dose. Malva sylvestris leaf extract also had a potential inhibitory activity against pathogenic Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens, and Staphylococcus aureus from 0.25, 2, and 4 mg/mL concentrations respectively (P<0.05). The dose of 8 mg/mL of the extract (MIC; minimal inhibitory concentration) completely inhibited Fusobacterium nucleatum (P<0.05), other enteropathogen, which is associated with colorectal cancer. It was concluded that M. sylvestris leaf extract at 0.06-8 mg/mL dose could have favorable effects on colon bacteria since the extract selectively promoted the most of the beneficial species’ growth at this dose range while it had a potential inhibitory or inhibitory effect on pathogenic ones. Investigating the effects of M. sylvestris leaf extract on other colon bacteria and testing the in vivo effectiveness will contribute to a better understanding of its efficacy on colon microbiota and intestinal health.

В статті наведена методика автоматизованого розрахунку радіолінії при зв’язку земною хвилею у діапазонах кілометрових, гектометрових та декаметрових хвиль з метою визначення граничної дальності забезпечення радіозв'язку (радіонавігації) з заданою якістю за допомогою прикладного математичного пакету Mathcad. Відомо, що гранична дальність радіозв'язку (радіонавігації) досягається тоді, коли реальне послаблення, яке визначається поглинанням на трасі поширення, дорівнює гранично допустимому послабленню, яке залежить від завадової обстановки в точці прийому, необхідної якості прийому і технічних характеристиках передавального і приймального пристроїв. Гранично допустиме послаблення на трасі визначаються, виходячи з основного рівняння радіозв'язку та умови здійснення радіозв'язку. Реальне (фактичне) послаблення сигналу на трасі поширення розраховується з урахуванням множника послаблення на будь-якій трасі. Рішення дифракційної задачі полягає в розв'язанні хвильового рівняння в сферичній системі координат при встановлені граничних умов на поверхні гладкої землі і врахуванні особливостей характеристик поля поблизу випромінювача.

Als virtuelle Exkursion wurde eine Reise zusammen mit Rudolf Virchow in Richtung Balkan unternommen. Als erstes Reiseziel wurde die mittelbronzezeitliche, befestigte Höhensiedlung von Monkodonja und das zeitgleiche Grabhügelfeld von Mušego besucht. Die beiden Fundorte liegen ca. 5 km südlich von Rovinj auf der istrischen Halbinsel. Das Steinkistengrab B mit den sterblichen Überresten einer jungen Frau, die vermutlich mumifiziert worden ist, wird näher vorgestellt. Die Reise wird in Richtung Sarajevo fortgesetzt.
Am Fluss Una bei Bihać machen wir einen Zwischenstopp am Gräberfeld von Jezerine, dass zur japodischen Kultur gehört. Im 1. vorchristlichen Jahrtausend siedelten die Japoden im östlichen Kroatien und westlichen Bosnien-Herzegovina auf der Lika-Hochebene. Das für die japodische Kultur typische Fundmaterial ist ausschließlich auf den japodischen Raum beschränkt. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie die Japoden so großen Reichtum anhäufen konnten. Ein weiterer Aspekt sind die in der älteren Phase schwer fassbaren Männergräber, die offenbar als Brandbestattungen vorliegen.

Background and Objectives: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are the two most common neurodevelopmental disorders often with overlapping symptoms. Misdiagnosis of these disorders is the leading cause of a variety of problems including inappropriate interventions and improper treatment outcome. Over the last few years, resting state functional magnetic Resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) has received clinical attention among other beneficial brain scan techniques to extract functional connectivity in the brain. However, extracting useful information by human observation is prone to errors. Material and Methods: The above unmet need prompted us to design the present investigation to construct a convolutional neural network model with 12 layers architecture in rsFMRI data aiming to differentiate the two conditions. The rs-fMRI data was collected from the ADHD-200 and ABIDE to feed into a convolutional neural network. Over the preprocessing phase, we have removed undesirable data and coordinated the remaining to MSDL atlas to recruit 39 regions of the brain. Results: Ultimately, out results obtained a 0.92 accuracy, an AUC of 0.97 and loss of 0.17 in classification and discrimination of ADHD and ASD. Conclusion: Though cross-validity with larger datasets is deemed required, the results obtained from the present investigation suggest that convolutional neural network may serve as a beneficial tool to differentiate ADHD and ASD from relatively small fMRI datasets. This further highlights the potential application of deep neural networks for serving the above purpose.

Gereja yang hidup dan benar harus menjalankan panggilannya sebagai pembawa damai.Pembawa damai bisa dilakukan jika Gereja telah menjadi bagian dari konteks. Jika gereja diasingkan olehkonteks itu artinya ada persoalan yang harus diselesaikan di dalam gereja itu. Gereja Kristen Jawa tengahutara (GKJTU), dan sama dengan Gereja lain di Jawa, mengalami keterasingan dari konteks.Keterasingan itu karena ada persoalan identitas Hybrid gereja. Untuk mengatasi hal itu semua wargagereja harus dibina untuk bergerak mendekati budaya Jawa dengan pembentukan ruang keempat sebagaibasisnya. Ruang keempat ini adalah ruang untuk berinteraksi kembali kekristenan dengan budaya Jawayang sudah ditinggalkannya. Pembentukan ruang keempat ini harus dilihat dari teori poskolonial Homi K.Bhabha

Recent progress in plate tectonic reconstructions has seen models move beyond the classical idea of continental drift by attempting to reconstruct the full evolving configuration of tectonic plates and plate boundaries. A particular problem for the Neoproterozoic and Cambrian is that many existing interpretations of geological and palaeomagnetic data have remained disconnected from younger, better-constrained periods in Earth history. An important test of deep time reconstructions is therefore to demonstrate the continuous kinematic viability of tectonic motions across multiple supercontinent cycles. We present, for the first time, a continuous full-plate model spanning 1 Ga to the present-day, that includes a revised and improved model for the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian (1000–520 Ma) that connects with models of the Phanerozoic, thereby opening up pre-Gondwana times for quantitative analysis and further regional refinements. In this contribution, we first summarise methodological approaches to full-plate modelling and review the existing full-plate models in order to select appropriate models that produce a single continuous model. Our model is presented in a palaeomagnetic reference frame, with a newly-derived apparent polar wander path for Gondwana from 540 to 320 Ma, and a global apparent polar wander path from 320 to 0 Ma. We stress, though while we have used palaeomagnetic data when available, the model is also geologically constrained, based on preserved data from past-plate boundaries. This study is intended as a first step in the direction of a detailed and self-consistent tectonic reconstruction for the last billion years of Earth history, and our model files are released to facilitate community development.
Research 339: High-resolution climate projections for Ireland. A multi-model ensemble approach
Authors: Nolan Paul , Flanagan Jason
Published: March 2021

The method of regional climate modelling was employed to assess the impacts of a warming climate on the 21st-century climate of Ireland. The regional climate model (RCM) simulations were run at high spatial resolution (3.8 and 4 km), the first systematic study of its kind at this scale, thus allowing a better evaluation of the local effects of climate change. To address the issue of uncertainty, a multi-model ensemble approach was employed. Through the ensemble approach, the uncertainty in the projections can be partly quantified, thus providing a measure of confidence in the projections. Simulations were run for the reference period 1981 2000 and the future period 2041 2060. Differences between the two periods provide a measure of climate change. The Consortium for Small-scale Modeling Climate Limited-area Modelling (COSMO-CLM) and Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) RCMs were used to downscale the following Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) global climate model (GCM) datasets: CNRM-CM5, EC-EARTH (four ensemble members), HadGEM2-ES, MIROC5 and MPI-ESM-LR. To account for the uncertainty in future greenhouse gas emissions, the future climate was simulated under both the Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 (RCP4.5) and RCP8.5 scenarios.
Searching the Virtually Extinct Tridacna gigas (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Reefs of Palawan, Philippines

Published: March 2021

Tridacna gigas (Cardiidae: Tridacninae) is the largest extant reef-associated bivalves that occur abundantly in the Indo-West Pacific Region. However, unregulated exploitation had caused localized extinction in many parts of its distribution range. In Palawan, the species was considered virtually extinct in the 1980s, and since then, no study has been done to monitor their status in the wild. In the absence of updated studies about T. gigas, we gathered information through field reports, key informants, and field visits. Within five months of data gathering, we recorded 97 empty shells (14 in pairs and 83 single shells) with 65.86 cm (range: 42-112 cm) average shell length, which were estimated to be from 5 to >76 years old. Most (78.36%) of the empty shells were used for decoration and landscaping. On the other hand, 29 live individuals with 73.69 cm (range: 42-109 cm) average shell length were estimated to be 5 to >76 years old. Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and some island resorts harbored the highest number of live T. gigas. The presence of live T. gigas in these areas reflects years of effective management and the resorts’ essential contribution to resource conservation. These remaining live individuals could be used in breeding and restocking programs to restore their lost populations.
Pandangan dan Konsep Deradikalisasi Beragama Perspektif Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)
Authors: Haris Mohammad Akmal

Abstrak

Maraknya radikalisme yang mengatasnamakan agama baik sebagai faham dan gerakan menjadi perhatian serius pemerintah Indonesia dalam membendungnya. Pemerintah Indonesia melalui Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme (BNPT) berusaha melakukan langkah-langkah strategis dalam mengkonter gerakan radikal tersebut, salah satunya dengan menggandeng ormas Islam Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). Nahdlatul Ulama sebagai organisasi kemasyarakatan yang berfaham moderat, di samping juga memiliki modal jaringan organisasi yang kuat dan luas yang dapat mencapai akar rumput sehingga diharapkan sangat strategis dalam menkonter penyebaran faham radikal dan ekstrem di Indonesia. Konsep deradikalisasi yang diterapkan Nahdlatul Ulama dilakukan dengan cara persuasif dengan mengedepankan pendekatan humanis dalam membangun dialog di kalangan internal masyarakat Islam. Misalnya, melalui gerakan dakwah para ulama dan kiai NU, melalui jejaring pesantren, melalui kajian-kajian ilmiah seperti bahtsul masail, media dakwah online NU, serta dengan membentengi lembaga pendidikan NU berbasis Aswaja (Ahlussunah wal Jamaah).
