Cinema and landscape, Italian heritage and widespread museum
Authors: Zeppi Marcello
Published: February 2021

“Historical and artistic beauty is pervasive, it enters every corner of the territory.”The landscape is a fundamental identity factor for Italy.The landscape has long been considered a multiplier of the value of The Italian historical-artistic and architectural heritage. Over time the way you tell the landscape changes.Writers and travelers with their stories have helped to create the myth of the Italian landscape by retracing the narrative matrix back in time of the “great tours” in the 18th and 19th centuries, often describing it as “garden of Europe”, or “beautiful country “.In the twentieth century the history of the landscape used different forms of artistic expression. Painters, poets, artists, musicians use the landscape to give value to their works. Today we tell it with cameras, cinema, digital.The report aims to investigate the relationship between landscape and storytelling in cinema, between landscape and characters, between landscape and gaze.The intent of the report is to analyze the transgressive function that the landscape has often had in cinema, and in particular in the Italian one, in order to make it one of the most interesting experiences of the twentieth century. It’s not just about aesthetics, it’s also about ethics, because learning to look is an important step to get to know ourselves, our world and our limits.

Effect of Secondary Motor Task on Performance of Stair Descent in People with Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Paliwal Chetali
Published: February 2021

In people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), dual tasking is difficult because of the impaired motor functionsof the basal ganglia. It causes postural instability, reduction in gait speed, decreased stride length, increasedfestination and freezing. So it can also influence performance on stair ambulation. This creates a need tostudy the effect of dual tasks on stair ambulation, especially stair descent. 30 subjects were selected fromvarious hospitals in Delhi. After taking the informed consent, the subjects were made to descend down thestairs under two conditions: stairs descent only and stairs descent with secondary motor task. The time takenin both the activities was recorded along with the scores on Observational Stair Parameter Scoring System(OSPS). Time taken by the subjects and the scores on OSPS for performing secondary task was more thanthe normal stair descent. The performance of stair descent with secondary task became more difficult thandescent without the secondary task

Published: February 2021

. Modern realities taking place in the world prove that the quality of the living environment affects the health and mortality of the population. The Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing in Russia conducts social and hygienic monitoring in all constituent entities of the country, but not in the context of regional municipalities. The state reports “On the state of sanitary and epidemiological welfare in the Russian Federation” do not provide a report on the relationship between the factors of water, atmospheric air, soil and the incidence of the population by age groups. Obvious gaps in the reports dictate the need to assess the relationship between the indicators of the environment and the incidence of the population in the municipalities of the region. After all, each region of Russia has its own uniqueness and its own environment. The object of the research is the Komi Republic, where the analysis of the causes of illness and mortality in the whole republic carried out now. An assessment of the primary morbidity and mortality of the adult population according to the International Classification of Diseases — 10 revisions to identify risk areas for all municipalities of the Komi Republic for 2014–2019 is given. For this, a rating calculation method applied. The prevailing classes of diseases identified and analyzed. The research results formulated.

The article presents the results of a sociological study of social aspects of self-development of a number of single-industry towns and towns with a diversified economy in the Arctic region — the Murmansk region. Structured sociological information on the population's assessment of social aspects of self-development makes it possible to adequately assess the dynamics of public opinion and use this knowledge in solving the problems of modernizing the system of public relations and the processes of self-development of local communities. Similar studies performed by the authors in 2008–2010 revealed a weaker level of social activity of the population, low estimates of the current life situation in single-industry towns, compared with estimates of the population in towns with a diversified economy. This article analyzes self-assessments of the population in relation to territorial and civil identity, which contributed to understanding the degree of social cohesion of local communities, examines assessments of significance of factors of the Northern specificity, determines the motives for participation in socially significant activities, and identifies the rating of problems that affect life quality in local communities. It is found out that over the past decade there has been a significant convergence of residents’ opinions in single-industry towns and tons with a diversified economy on important issues of life organization. It can be assumed that this indicates the success of the state policy to improve the socio-economic situation in single-profile territorial entities. In addition, a certain uniformity of the social environment of living in the studied groups of towns can contribute to forming innovative social technologies for self-development of the social potential of local societies throughout the Arctic region — the Murmansk region.
THEORETICAL APPROACHES TO MANAGEMENT OF THE MARINE SECTOR IN THE ARCTIC REGION
Authors:   Murmansk State Technical University, Agarkov S. A.
Published: February 2021

The economic significance of the Russian Arctic for Russia is determined by its geographical position, huge natural resource, transport and logistics potential. A characteristic feature of the Arctic economy is in its pronounced maritime character, which determines the need for an integrated approach to the state management of maritime economic activities in the Arctic regional direction, including measures of state support for the infrastructural development of regional maritime economic complexes. We can talk about the approaches of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM), well-tested in the world practice, considering sea use as an integral management object. The methodology of integral management proposed in the article is aimed at creating a systemically balanced economic structure of maritime use, including through cluster technologies for the spatial development of water-territorial production complexes (ATPC), as well as reducing conflicts between various participants in economic activity in the process of competitive use of coastal spaces and marine resources. and preservation of the marine environment. From this point of view, the formation of a Coastal Policy should be aimed at coordinating strategies for the development of industries (and individual enterprises) in the interests of the overall development of coastal zones based on logistic principles of cross-sectoral planning. The development and adaptation of mechanisms for the interaction of integrated and sectoral planning necessitate a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of the maritime economic complex (MEC) in the region's economy, including the effectiveness of the activities of state authorities in creating favorable conditions for the sustainable development of the region's maritime complex. Such an assessment can be carried out on the principles of constructing a system of balanced indicators that characterize the complex characterizing the maritime complex and its impact on the region's economy.

Published: February 2021

Summary. The data presented in the article convincingly testify to the formation of the clinical problem of intensive therapy for thoracic trauma in patients with polytrauma, which has not yet been fully resolved to date. Further studies of the clinical features and the choice of diagnostic criteria are required taking into account the injuries received in concomitant chest trauma, further study of the content of surfactant protein D (SP-D) and ceruloplasmin in blood plasma in patients with thoracic injury with polytrauma in the early post-traumatic period, which would create algorithm of treatment and diagnostic tactics to improve the conduct of intensive care. To reduce the level of possible complications and their correction, it is necessary to develop complex clinical, instrumental and laboratory differential diagnostic criteria by identifying biochemical markers, as well as their pathogenetic substantiation when improving tactics and increasing the effectiveness of intensive therapy in patients of this category.

Summary. The aim. Comparison of clinical, clinical instrumental and morphological data to establish the most informative signs of extremity foreign bodies, the possibility of choosing surgical tactics and improving treatment results.

Materials and methods. Removal of ferromagnetic metallic foreign bodies of various sizes was carried out under visual control using a magnetic search tool. Visual control of the removal of a foreign body allows you to assess the adequacy of its removal.

Results and its discussion. Removal of a foreign body was carried out using general surgical instrumentation under tactile control using the surgeon's finger and a Billroth curved hemostatic clamp or a mosquito curved hemostatic clamp.

Removal of foreign bodies of extremities under hardware control is possible both in continuous time (on line) and intermittent (step-by-step) mode - detection of foreign bodies, marking (leaving marks on the skin).

Removal of a foreign body was also carried out under X-ray control. Most often, a step-by-step technique was used, in which the characteristics of a foreign body were first determined, then it was removed and, finally, a control X-ray study was performed with uncertainty about the completeness of removal.

In cases where there were problems with the spatial perception of the location of foreign bodies, the removal of foreign bodies under visual, tactile and hardware control was difficult, we used a combination of these methods.

Conclusions. As a result of using the proposed modern diagnostic technologies, the completeness of removal of extremities foreign bodies significantly increased from 6.2±0.1 to 1.4±0.1 (p<0.005); the duration of their removal decreased from 30.4±1.8 to 11.2±1.3 minutes (p<0.005); the number of surgical interventions decreased from 2.8±0.2 to 1.7±0.1 (p<0.005); the expressiveness of the pain syndrome decreased from 7.3±0.2 to 5.2±0.4 points (p<0.005); the duration of inpatient treatment decreased from 18.6±1.1 to 16.5±1.3 days.

This article describes the work on the study of thermal and photo-oxidative degradation of the composition of secondary polypropylene filled with aluminosilicate microspheres. As you know, the creation of composites based on a polymer matrix filled with various substances is a good method for regulating the performance properties of the material. Inorganic fillers are of great interest and have better mechanical and thermal properties, thus have the potential to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of composites compared to matrix polymers. A promising inorganic filler is an alumosilicate microsphere. Interest in the use of ash microspheres as a filler is due to the presence of such qualities as chemical resistance, low density, high strength and low cost. The most important characteristic of the additive is to ensure thermal stability in the processing processes and when compounding with a polymer. In connection with the above, the aim of this work is to study the thermophysical parameters of polymer composites based on polypropylene filled with particles of aluminosilicate microspheres and to study the influence of ash microspheres on the laws of thermal and photo – oxidative degradation of the polymer phase. In this work, when creating a polymer composite, secondary polypropylene was used, which is a crushed material from substandard plastic products produced by injection molding. Studies of the thermophysical properties of polymer samples were carried out on the device TGA-DSC1. Thermooxidation degradation of polymer composites was performed during thermal exposure in the air at temperatures of 150, 175 and 200 оС. Photo-oxidative degradation was performed by exposing the samples under UV irradiation in the air at temperatures of 40, 60 and 90 оС. During the work, it was found that the introduction of an aluminosilicate microsphere into polypropylene has virtually no effect on changes in the melting and crystallization temperatures of the polymer phase. The presence of an aluminosilicate microsphere increases the degree of accumulation of carbonyl compounds in the polymer phase during thermal and photo-oxidative degradation.
Energetic Electron Distribution of the Coronal Acceleration Region: First Results from Joint Microwave and Hard X-Ray Imaging Spectroscopy

Published: February 2021

Nonthermal sources located above bright flare arcades, referred to as the “above-the-loop-top” sources, have been often suggested as the primary electron acceleration site in major solar flares. The X8.2 limb flare on 2017 September 10 features such an above-the-loop-top source, which was observed in both microwaves and hard X-rays (HXRs) by the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array and the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager, respectively. By combining the microwave and HXR imaging spectroscopy observations with multifilter extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray imaging data, we derive the coronal magnetic field and energetic electron distribution of the source over a broad energy range from <10 keV up to ∼MeV during the early impulsive phase of the flare. The source has a strong magnetic field of over 800 G. The best-fit electron distribution consists of a thermal “core” from ∼25 MK plasma. A nonthermal power-law “tail” joins the thermal core at ∼16 keV with a spectral index of ∼3.6, which breaks down at above ∼160 keV to >6.0. Temporally resolved analysis suggests that the electron distribution above the break energy rapidly hardens with the spectral index decreasing from >20 to ∼6.0 within 20 s, or less than ∼10 Alfvén crossing times in the source. These results provide strong support for the above-the-loop-top source as the primary site where an ongoing bulk acceleration of energetic electrons is taking place very early in the flare energy release.

Published: February 2021

Analysis of current GaAs and related device market initiated in a number of earlier works has been continued. Binary semiconductor GaAs compound is a conventional MW electronics material. Until recently GaAs based HF ICs for mobile phones were among the most rapidly growing segments of GaAs market. However the GaAs market development trend is changing. Photonics and Terahertz engineering are becoming the new world GaAs market drivers. This means that the current emphasize of GaAs single crystal technologies will shift toward vertical directional crystallization of “optoelectronic quality” crystals. In the medium and longer terms the world GaAs wafer and epitaxial structure markets will continue growing. In the shorter term we all will have to take into account COVID epidemic consequences. Still the GaAs market is closely related to Smartphone market novelties. Quite probably after a long growth period the GaAs market will keep on shrinking for the second consecutive year: GaAs production may decline by 11–12% in 2020. Assuming that the epidemic will be somehow taken under control in 2021 the overall Smartphone production can probably be expected to grow starting from 2021.

Currently the Russian market of semiconductor compounds for photonics and electronic components (GaAs etc.) is but moderate and in predictable terms is not expected to achieve a level that is required for the emergence of a competitive domestic manufacturer, even though all importation replacement programs are accomplished. Meanwhile there is understanding that developing an advanced electronic components industry in Russia requires larger production of source materials.

Published: February 2021

Herbal medicines have evolved through their traditional use in a specific or cultural context. The pharmacological effects of herbal medicines are not due to their “natural” origin, but to the complex character of biologically active substances. Pediatricians have begun to integrate the use of complementary / alternative medical therapies with conventional health care.

The first aim of the study was to make an analysis of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs (OTCDs) with a plant component. The secondary aim was to investigate OTCDs in terms of composition and nosology for use by the pediatric population in Bulgaria.

Registered OTC drugs with a herbal component for children are prescribed for the treatment of colds, pain, gastrointestinal diseases, mild sleep disorders, neurovegetative dystonias and kinetosis, urinary tract inflammation, liver disease, and are also applied topically to inflammation, trauma, urticaria and scars.

This paper is concerned with stablization of hybrid differential equations by intermittent control based on delay observations. By M-matrix theory and intermittent control strategy, we establish a sufficient stability criterion on intermittent hybrid stochastic differential equations. Meantime, we show that hybrid differential equations can be stabilized by intermittent control based on delay observations if the delay time \begin{document}$ \tau $\end{document} is bounded by \begin{document}$ \tau^* $\end{document}. Finally, an example is presented to illustrate our theory.
Inbetweening auto-animation via Fokker-Planck dynamics and thresholding
Authors: Gao Yuan , Jin Guangzhen , Liu Jian-Guo
Published: February 2021

We propose an equilibrium-driven deformation algorithm (EDDA) to simulate the inbetweening transformations starting from an initial image to an equilibrium image, which covers images varying from a greyscale type to a colorful type on planes or manifolds. The algorithm is based on the Fokker-Planck dynamics on manifold, which automatically incorporates the manifold structure suggested by dataset and satisfies positivity, unconditional stability, mass conservation law and exponentially convergence. The thresholding scheme is adapted for the sharp interface dynamics and is used to achieve the finite time convergence. Using EDDA, three challenging examples, (I) facial aging process, (II) coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia invading/fading process, and (III) continental evolution process are computed efficiently.

Authors: Ma Fubo
Published: February 2021

To improve the teaching ability of dance major courses, special attention should be paid to the following factors: the completeness of the evaluation index system (EIS), the fuzziness and uncertainty of the evaluation process, and the reliability and accuracy of the evaluation. Considering these factors, this paper summarizes the connotations and essential features of the teaching ability of dance major courses, and explores deep into the factors affecting that teaching ability. On this basis, the authors created a series of improved EISs and constructed an improved model for the evaluation of the teaching ability of dance courses, drawing on entropy method and grey theory. The proposed model enables dance teachers to improve their ability to teach dance major courses. The research results lay the theoretical and practical bases for the teaching reform in the dance major of colleges.

Abstract— Information technology encourages various forms of organizations to always adapt to changes so that they can sustain their business for a long time. Higher education institutions are organizational entities required to use information technology to support existing business processes. This study aims to examine the extent to which information technology resources have an influence on innovation performance in higher education. Quantitative research methods are used to determine this influence by involving 97 respondents who work in higher education institutions in Garut, Indonesia, besides processing and modeling research using SmartPLS. The results of the analysis show that information technology resources have an essential role in creating innovation performance improvement in higher education institutions, especially in terms of product innovation. The research was conducted only at private universities in Garut Regency. Therefore, further research involving universities in a nationwide scope is recommended. The results of this study imply that it is necessary for universities, which are expected to be ready for changes, to involve information technology in the creation of innovation in order for them to survive. The effect of information technology resources on the performance of innovation in private universities in Garut Regency has never been studied before; therefore, we consider that our study provides a novel contribution to the field.
Information and Communication Technology-Based Education Planning and Attitude of College Students
Authors: Vaicondam Yamunah , S Hishan Sanil , Begum Samina , Hassan Muhammad
Published: February 2021

The ubiquity of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in every school framework in the world has become a trend. With ASEAN integration problems in 2015, can fresh and younger HEI's and their students cope with this trend? The goal of this analysis is to decide the preparedness and role of new HEI students in the field of ICT education. In this study a concise template utilizing a researcher-made questionnaire (α=.971) was used. The research findings show that students at college have a optimistic declaration ('agreement') on ICT use in education (x=3.71; S=.75). This was also shown that sex greatly affects the mindset of students (z=3.91, p=.00), where male attitudes are higher (x=3.91) than female attitudes (x=3.61). Moreover, it demonstrates that preparedness for ICT in general has little to do with the mindset of students towards the usage of ICT in school. Nonetheless, there is a important marginal positive association between ICT access and an attitude of significance to 0.05 (r=.15; p=.002; single-tailed), which suggests that the more a student gets introduced to ICT, the more he develops his attitude to ICT education. It was believed that ICT-based curriculum can be readily adopted and modified for the next several years by complete ICT adoption as the current educational framework. Current and younger HEIs will also spend more in ICT Accessibility and Connectivity to further boost ICT-based awareness and preparedness.
Die performative Inszenierung eines ‚Wir gegen die Anderen’ zum Erhalt einer Protestbewegung
Authors: Ferrarese Patrizia Ursula
Published: February 2021

L’articolo propone una selezione di esempi del modo in cui gli ultras del calcio si presentano in quanto movimento di protesta forte, indomabile, provocatorio e combattivo. Perché un movimento di protesta sopravvive solo quando c’è qualcosa contro cui protestare. Gli ultras creano una differenza fra sé e gli altri per mezzo della demarcazione linguistica: nomi propri, autodescrizioni, denominazioni e un ‘silenzio rumoroso’. Creano un gioco di potere nel quale loro stessi ed i loro avversari sono i protagonisti, a volte vincitori, a volte vinti. Ma gli ultras emervono sempre come gli unici vincitori.

Il mondo è in piena trasformazione. All’esplosione demografica si aggiungono molteplici fattori che spingono popolazioni sempre più numerose a cercare di sopravvivere grazie all’emigrazione. Il modo di risolvere i problemi legati alle lingue sarà rivelatore del rispetto manifestato nei confronti di queste popolazioni in movimento e fragili. Il trattamento riservato ai migranti si traduce in primo luogo e soprattutto nel modo di vedere le loro lingue e le loro culture.

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of service quality perception on spectators’ satisfaction and behavioral intentions in the Pernambuco Professional Football Championship of 2017 - Brazil. Data were collected on match days, using an adapted questionnaire, consisting of four variables. The sample was composed of spectators at the competition, divided into two moments (1st. n = 386 / 2nd. n = 620). The data were analyzed through two-step structural equation modeling in AMOS 24. After the refinement of the model, the results of the structural model [χ² (314) = 762.849 (p <.001) χ² / df = 2.42; GFI = .92; CFI = .95; RMSEA = .05] indicated that the players' performance positively influenced both satisfaction (β = .76, p <.001) and behavioral intentions (β = .33, p <.001). In turn, the crowd experience had a positive influence only on the spectators’ behavioral intentions (β = .38, p <.001). It is concluded that provision of service quality, positively evaluated by the spectators, especially in relation to the aspects of the game/players, is a way for the club to satisfy them and generate positive behavioral intentions.

Authors: Santos Isabele Ferreira , Da Silva Marcos Antonio Carneiro
Published: February 2021

O objetivo do artigo é investigar a percepção corporal dos estudantes do Ensino Médio em escolas estaduais do Rio de Janeiro, a partir da perspectiva filosófica de Michel Foucault e da sociologia de David Le Breton. As categorias corpo acessório, poder disciplinar e biopoder foram estabelecidas a partir do referencial teórico adotado. Na pesquisa exploratória foram coletados 392 questionários e inferimos a partir deles que os adolescentes sentem-se bem consigo, não se encontram felizes com sua aparência física, não estão felizes com seu peso e altura, acreditam que atos de bullying estão relacionados à aparência física e apresentam uma tendência a modificarem seus corpos.Eles percebem seu comportamento sendo observado na escola, consideram importante o controle de seu tempo e espaço, sentem-sequestionadores das normas estabelecidas e não encontram espaço para expressarem suas opiniões. Os adolescentes aprovam a maneira que se comportam e reconhecem que a aparência física facilita a aceitação nos grupos sociais.Concluimos que processos de individualização podem forjar indivíduos, negando o direito de serem verdadeiramente individuais, fragmentando sua vida comunitária, sendo forçando-os a voltarem-se a si mesmo, por medo de uma possível não aceitação social.

The present study aimed to check if there is an association between fitness performance variables and to analyze the variation of fitness levels between playing positions university soccer players. Twenty university soccer players were selected (20.95 ± 1.84 years; 71.60 ± 11.65 kg; 176.85 ± 7.28 m) divided into defenders, midfielders and attackers. Body composition was assessed in a cross-sectional analysis that correlated fat mass, lean mass and fat-free mass by DXA with the physical capacity tests. The main results of the present study revealed that both 10-m and 20-m accelerations had moderate-to-large correlations with agility tests across the playing positions, however these accelerations were largely inversely correlated with YoYo intermittent recovery test in defenders and largely positively in midfielders. The agility test was moderately correlated with YoYo intermittent recovery test across the different playing positions. In conclusion, there the acceleration and the agility had a positive association with the different positions of the soccer players.

The present study verified the reliability of the high-speed camera-based system (HSC-Kinovea) in the lower-limb explosive strength endurance assessment in athletes. Eleven male volleyball players (21.8 ± 2.9 years; 186.3 ± 6.2 cm and 82.3 ± 11.0 kg) participated in the intermittent vertical jumping test in two days. The test was filmed and later analyzed using Kinovea 0.8.15 software to obtain the mean and peak power variables. Regarding reliability, the intra-class correlation coefficient, the typical error of measurements, and Bland-Altman plots were used. The method presented satisfactory values for inter and intra-class correlations (˃ 0.88). The typical values error of measurement presented in the inter-rater analysis was 0.95 W.kg-1 and 0.59 W.kg-1 for the peak and the mean power, respectively. In the intra-assessment analyses, the typical measurement error values were 7.02 W.kg-1 and 5.66 W.kg-1 (test-retest) and 1.59 W.kg-1 and 0.24 W.kg-1  (duplicates videos) for peak and average power, respectively. The HSC-Kinovea system is reliable for assessing the variables of the explosive strength endurance in athletes.
Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma - A comprehensive review of agents used in the contemporary management of advanced/metastatic disease

Published: February 2021

Renal cell carcinoma represents the most common malignancy of the kidney and the majority of cases are categorized as clear cell carcinomas. The elucidation of the specific alterations in key molecular and metabolic pathways responsible for cancer development and progression have prompted the rationalization of our classification of this disease and have provided specific targetable molecules implicated in carcinogenesis. Although immunotherapy has been an established option in the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer for many years, its role has been renewed and upgraded with the implementation of anti-angiogenic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors in our treatment armamentarium. The future holds promise, as newer agents become available and combination regimens of immunotherapy with anti-angiogenic agents have become the standard of care in the management of metastatic disease and are currently being evaluated in earlier settings. Proper patient selection and individualization of our treatment strategies are of utmost importance in order to provide optimal care to patients suffering from renal cell carcinoma.

Background:

Different genetic variants, including the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present in microRNA recognition elements (MREs) within 3'UTR of genes, can affect miRNA-mediated gene regulation and susceptibility to a variety of human diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease of the central nervous system. Since the expression of many genes associated with MS is controlled by microRNAs (miRNAs), the aim of this study was to analyze SNPs within miRNA binding sites of some neuronal genes associated with MS.

Materials and Methods:

Fifty-seven neuronal genes related to MS were achieved using dbGaP, DAVID, DisGeNET, and Oviddatabases. 3'UTR of candidate genes were assessed for SNPs, and miRNAs' target prediction databases were used for predicting miRNA binding sites.

Results:

Three hundred and eight SNPs (minor allele frequency >0.05) were identified in miRNA binding sites of 3'UTR of 44 genes. Among them, 42 SNPs in 22 genes had miRNA binding sites and miRNA prediction tools suggested 71 putative miRNAs binding sites on these genes. Moreover, in silico analysis predicted 22 MRE-modulating SNPs and 22 MRE-creating SNPs in the 3'UTR of these candidate genes.

Conclusions:

These candidate MRE-SNPs can alter miRNAs binding sites and mRNA gene regulation. Therefore, these genetic variants and miRNAs might be involved in MS susceptibility and pathogenesis and hence would be valuable for further functional verification investigation.
