Spatiotemporal distribution of highly pathogenic avian influenza subtype H5N8 in Korea
Authors: Kim Woo-Hyun , Bae Sun Hak , Cho Seongbeom
Published: November 2020

In zoonotic disease, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a major
threat to human and poultry health worldwide. In January 2014, HPAI
virus subtype H5N8 first infected poultry farms in South Korea, and a
total of 393 outbreaks were reported with enormous economic damage in
the poultry industry. We analyzed the spatiotemporal distribution of
HPAI H5N8 outbreaks in poultry farms using the global and local
spatiotemporal interactions in the first outbreak wave from January 2014
to June 2015 and the second wave from September 2014 to June 2015. The
space-time K-function analyses revealed significant interactions within
three days and over 40 km in two study periods in global spatiotemporal
interaction. The excess risk attributable value (D0) was maintained
despite the distance in the case of HPAI H5N8 in Korea. Eleven
spatiotemporal clusters were identified, and the results show the HPAI
introduction from the southwestern region and the spread to the middle
region in Korea. Six clusters were distributed in 0.46-9.86 km space and
3-19 days in time, while five clusters were distributed in 19.74-72.59
km space and 27-36 days in time. This global and local spatiotemporal
interaction indicates that the HPAI epidemic in Korea was mostly
characterized by short period transmission within a small area and
dispersed by long-range jumps. This finding supports strict control
strategies such as preemptive depopulation, the standstill, and poultry
movement tracking. More studies are needed to understand HPAI disease
transmission patterns of HPAI in Korea.
Geographic variation in the skulls of the horseshoe bats, Rhinolophus simulator and R. cf. simulator: determining the relative contributions of adaptation and drift using geometric morphometrics.
Authors: Mutumi Gregory , Jacobs David , Bam Lunga
Published: November 2020

The relative contributions of adaptation and drift to morphological
diversification of the crania of echolocating mammals was investigated
using two horseshoe bat species, Rhinolophus simulator and R. cf.
simulator as test cases. We used 3D geometric morphometrics to compare
the shapes of skulls of the two lineages collected at various localities
in southern Africa. Shape variation was predominantly attributed to
selective forces; the between population variance (B) was not
proportional to the within population variance (W). Modularity was
evident in the crania of R. simulator but absent in the crania of R. cf.
simulator and the mandibles of both species. The skulls of the two
lineages thus appeared to be under different selection pressures,
despite the overlap in their distributions. Selection acted mainly on
the nasal dome region of R. cf. simulator whereas selection acted more
on the cranium and mandibles than on the nasal domes of R. simulator.
Probably the relatively higher echolocation frequencies used by R. cf.
simulator, the shape of the nasal dome, which acts as a frequency
dependent acoustic horn, is more crucial than in R. simulator, allowing
maximization of the intensity of the emitted calls and resulting in
comparable detection distances. In contrast, selection pressure is
probably more pronounced on the mandibles and cranium of R. simulator to
compensate for the loss in bite force because of its elongated rostrum.
The predominance of selection probably reflects the stringent
association between environment and the optimal functioning of
phenotypic characters associated with echolocation and feeding in bats.
New upper bounds for the forgotten index among bicyclic graphs
Authors: Rodriguez Jonnathan , Jahanbani Akbar , Sheikholeslami Seyed Mahmoud , Rasi Reza , Shahbazi L
Published: November 2020

The forgotten topological index of a graph $G$, denoted by $F(G)$,
is defined as the sum of weights $d(u)^{2}+d(v)^{2}$ over
all edges $uv$ of $G$, where $d(u)$ denotes the degree of a vertex
$u$. In this paper, we give sharp upper bounds of the F-index
(forgotten topological index) over bicyclic graphs, in terms of the
order and maximum degree.
Quasi -- Static Compression and Compression -- Compression Fatigue Behavior of Regular and Irregular Cellular Biomaterials
Authors: Raghavendra Sunil , Molinari Alberto , Cao Anni , Gao Chao , Berto Filippo , Zappini Gianluca , Benedetti Matteo
Published: November 2020

The main aim of the current study is to evaluate the compressive
quasi-static and fatigue properties of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) cellular
materials, with different topologies, manufactured via Laser Powder Bed
Fusion (LPBF) process. The topologies herein considered are lattice
based regular and irregular configurations of cubic, star and cross
shaped unit cell along with trabecular based topology. The results have
indicated that the effective stiffness of all configurations are in the
range of 0.3 – 20 GPa, which is desirable for implant applications. The
morphological irregularities in the structures induce bending dominated
behavior affecting more the topologies with vertical struts. The S – N
curves normalized with respect to the yield stress indicate that the
behavior of star regular structures is between purely stretching
dominated cubic and purely bending dominated cross based structures.
Trabecular structures have shown desirable quasi-static and fatigue
properties despite the random distribution of struts.
Clinical applicability of optogenetic gene regulation
Authors: Wichert Nina , Witt Martin , Scheper Thomas , Blume Cornelia
Published: November 2020

The field of optogenetics is rapidly growing in relevance and number of
developed tools. Amongst other things, the optogenetic repertoire
includes light-responsive ion channels and methods for gene regulation.
This review will be confined to the optogenetic control of gene
expression in mammalian cells as suitable models for clinical
applications. Here optogenetic gene regulation might offer an excellent
method for spatially and timely regulated gene and protein expression in
cell therapeutic approaches. Well-known systems for gene regulation,
such as the LOV-, CRY2/CIB-, PhyB/PIF-systems, as well as other, in
mammalian cells not yet fully established systems will be described.
Advantages and disadvantages with regard to clinical applications are
outlined in detail. Among the many unanswered questions concerning the
application of optogenetics, we discuss items such as the use of
exogenous chromophores and their effects on the biology of the cells and
methods for a gentle, but effective gene transfection method for
optogenetic tools for in vivo applications.
Applicability of existing crack controlling criteria for structures with large concrete cover thickness: Review.
Authors: Naotunna Chavin , Samarakoon S.M Samindi M.K , Fosså Kjell
Published: November 2020

Adverse effects from the cracks in Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures
are controlled at the structural design stage. Cracks due to service
load are controlled by limiting the ‘calculated crack width’ to a
‘maximum allowable crack width’. With the understanding of social and
economic advantages of long design life structures, there is a trend of
constructing structures up to 300 years of design life. To enhance
durability, such structures require relatively large concrete cover
thickness. The existing ‘crack width calculation models’, have to be
validated before using on such large cover structures. The predictions
of crack width calculation models in Eurocode 2, Model Code 2010,
Japanese Code, American Code and British code were compared with the
results of recent experiments with large cover specimens. It could
identify that the aforementioned models have to be improved to predict
the crack widths of large cover structures. The necessary improvements
of each model have been identified. Next, a literature survey was
conducted to check the applicability of the existing ‘allowable crack
width limits’, for the structures with large concrete covers. To
effectively use the existing allowable limits on such structures, the
necessary improvements and future works have been identified considering
the durability, aesthetic and tightness criteria.
Gut microbiome diverges quickly with rapid host evolution in Trinidadian guppies
Authors: Evans Sarah , Zandona Eugenia , Amaral Jeferson , Fitzpatrick Sarah
Published: November 2020

We took advantage of a five-decade ‘chronosequence’ of host-microbiome
evolution to examine changes in the gut microbiome as wild populations
evolve. In an iconic example of rapid evolution in the wild, Trinidadian
guppies have displayed parallel phenotypic convergence when translocated
six times from high predation (HP) to low predation (LP) environments,
but changes in microbiome are unknown. We find microbiomes of fish
translocated 5-6 years ago were already more similar to LP native
populations than HP sources, and attribute this to both environmental
and host-morphological changes. While diet was a minor driver of
microbiome structure, we suggest a nutritional role for the gut
microbiome in guppy evolution whereby nitrogen-fixing bacteria
supplement the low-nutrient diet in LP environments. We show that
environment and rapid phenotypic shifts in gut traits interact to
control microbiome assembly, and suggest the gut microbiome plays an
important but not necessarily consistent role in rapid host evolution.
The reliability and reproducibility of an Android cephalometric smartphone application in comparison with the conventional method
Authors: Zamrik Obada M. , İşeri Haluk
Published: November 2020

Objectives

To assess the reliability and reproducibility of linear and angular measurements of the cephalometric smartphone Android application OneCeph in comparison with the conventional method.

Materials and Methods

A total number of 22 landmarks were registered, and 26 skeletal and dental cephalometric parameters were measured on 30 pretreatment cephalograms. The measurements for both digital (OneCeph) and conventional tracings were performed twice with a 4-week interval. The reliability (intraexaminer error) was evaluated by using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The variation in measurements between the tracing techniques (reproducibility) was determined by paired t-test.

Results

The Pearson correlation coefficients of all cephalometric measurements for each tracing technique were ≥ 0.95. Significant differences between the two tracing techniques were detected in five measurements (SNB angle, N I to Pog linear measurement, U1-Apoint linear measurement, U lip to S line, and nasiolabial angle; P < .05).

Conclusions

Using 26 measurements to compare both tracing methods, all mean differences between the digital (OneCeph) and conventional methods were below 1 degree/1 mm, indicating that differences between the tracing methods were clinically insignificant. The U1-A point measurement was an exception for the digital method (OneCeph) with a clinically significant difference of 1.25 mm (P < .01); the difference was a result of wrongly measuring the distance from the A line to the incisor edge of the upper central incisor rather than the facial surface of the upper incisor. This leads to the conclusion that both tracing methods were reliable for daily clinical practice.

Published: November 2020

Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) treatment may improve long-term glycemic outcomes and enhance quality of life compared with a multiple daily injection (MDI) insulin regimen for people with type 1 diabetes. As the number of people treated with CSII via a tubeless insulin pump is increasing, there is growing interest in the long-term glycemic outcomes of this treatment option across diverse populations. This multicenter, retrospective study evaluated glycemic control in 156 adults with type 1 diabetes initiating tubeless insulin pump therapy following transition from either MDI or CSII with a tubed insulin pump. In this study, use of the tubeless insulin pump over 12 months was associated with significant improvement in A1C in adults with type 1 diabetes, most notably in those with an A1C ≥9.0% and those previously treated with MDI.

Published: November 2020

Type 2 diabetes has become a pandemic and leads to late diabetic complications of organs, including kidney and eye. Lowering hyperglycemia is the typical therapeutic goal in clinical medicine. However, hyperglycemia may only be a symptom of diabetes but not the sole cause of late diabetic complications; instead, other diabetes-related alterations could be causative. Here, we studied the role of CaM kinase II-δ (CaMKIIδ), which is known to be activated through diabetic metabolism. CaMKIIδ is expressed ubiquitously and might therefore affect several different organ systems. We crossed diabetic leptin receptor–mutant mice to mice lacking CaMKIIδ globally. Remarkably, CaMKIIδ-deficient diabetic mice did not develop hyperglycemia. As potential underlying mechanisms, we provide evidence for improved insulin sensing with increased glucose transport into skeletal muscle and also reduced hepatic glucose production. Despite normoglycemia, CaMKIIδ-deficient diabetic mice developed the full picture of diabetic nephropathy, but diabetic retinopathy was prevented. We also unmasked a retina-specific gene expression signature that might contribute to CaMKII-dependent retinal diabetic complications. These data challenge the clinical concept of normalizing hyperglycemia in diabetes as a causative treatment strategy for late diabetic complications and call for a more detailed analysis of intracellular metabolic signals in different diabetic organs.

Published: November 2020

Renal epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling is activated in models of diabetic nephropathy (DN), and inhibition of the EGFR signaling pathway protects against the development of DN. We have now determined that in cultured podocytes, high glucose led to increases in activation of EGFR signaling but decreases in autophagy activity as indicated by decreased beclin-1 and inhibition of LC3B autophagosome formation as well as increased rubicon (an autophagy inhibitor) and SQSTM1 (autophagy substrate). Either genetic (small interfering [si]EGFR) or pharmacologic (AG1478) inhibition of EGFR signaling attenuated the decreased autophagy activity. In addition, rubicon siRNA knockdown prevented high glucose–induced inhibition of autophagy in podocytes. We further examined whether selective EGFR deletion in podocytes affected the progression of DN in type 2 diabetes. Selective podocyte EGFR deletion had no effect on body weight or fasting blood sugars in either db/db mice or nos3−/−; db/db mice, a model of accelerated type 2 DN. However selective podocyte EGFR deletion led to relative podocyte preservation and marked reduction in albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis, renal proinflammatory cytokine/chemokine expression, and decreased profibrotic and fibrotic components in nos3−/−; db/db mice. Podocyte EGFR deletion led to decreased podocyte expression of rubicon, in association with increased podocyte autophagy activity. Therefore, activation of EGFR signaling in podocytes contributes to progression of DN at least in part by increasing rubicon expression, leading to subsequent autophagy inhibition and podocyte injury.
An Assessment of Alternative Therapeutic Options for the Treatment of Prolonged Zoonotic Fungal Infections in Companion Animals
Authors: M Garvey
Published: November 2020

Zoonotic disease is an ongoing issue, becoming more prominent as more microbial species display antimicrobial resistance. The role of companion animals in society is also increasing as therapy dogs become the mainstay for many special needs persons. In order to ensure public health safety, it is essent ial to determine the extent of resistance amongst zoonotic pathogens and where possible to suggest novel treatment options to counteract such resistance. Fungal species are increasingly recognised as the causative agent in numerous incidents of canine morb idity. Therefore, the development of new, safe and effective chemotherapeutic agents is essential to prevent and control mycotic disease. Chronic incidents of cutaneous candidiasis as diagnosed in the cases used for this study are particularly high risk fo r zoonotic transmission. Studies described herein evaluate the resistance of these canine isolates of Candida species to common antifungal agents and identify levels of resistance using recognised in vitro methods. Results show high levels of resistance to amphotericin B, fluconazole and caspofungin for Candida albicans and Candida krusei isolates. This clinical resistance was more prominent in isolated species compared to control species. Novel compounds namely phendione and Roussin Black salts show promis ing antifungal activity with minimum inhibitory concentrations determined.

Principles of legal proceedings in the Code of administrative proceedings and in the Civil procedure code
Authors: Terekhova Lydia A.
Published: November 2020

The subject. The system of principles of legal proceedings is one of the indicators of the independence of the type of legal proceedings. The article analyzes the general and distinctive features of the principles enshrined in the Russian Civil Procedure Сode and the Code of Administrative Procedure. The purpose of the article is confirmation or confutation of the hypothesis that there is no independent system of principles of administrative proceedings that differs from the system of principles of civil proceedings. The methodology of the study includes the formal legal method, analysis, synthesis. The main results. All of the principles enshrined in the Code of Administrative Procedure are also enshrined in the Civil Procedure Code except some minor characteristics. So, the active role of the court, involving a number of exceptions to the usual rules of evidence, was also characteristic of the regulation of the consideration of cases arising from public legal relations in the Code of Civil Procedure. The court’s active actions to determine the subject of evidence, to recover evidence are general rules of evidence for all types of proceedings. These rules existed both before the adoption of the Code of Administrative Procedure and after it. But the specifics of the execution of judicial acts adopted in cases of administrative proceedings require special attention. A characteristic feature in the consideration and resolution of most administrative cases is the immediate execution of decisions enshrined directly in the Code of Administrative Procedure. Such a rule can be considered as a priority of immediate execution, which is a characteristic feature of administrative proceedings. The author doubts about the need for normative consolidation of the principles, as well as the need for a special list of principles of administrative legal proceedings in separate article of the procedural code. Conclusons. The absence of an independent system of administrative procedural principles confirms the thesis that administrative proceedings cannot be considered an independent branch of law separated from civil proceedings law. However, the priority of immediate execution of a court decision is a characteristic feature (perhaps even a principle) of administrative proceedings.
Experience in Tax Changes in Certain Central European Countries in the Past Two Decades
Authors: Szilovics Csaba
Published: November 2020

This study reviews the tax regimes of four Central European countries. A hundred years ago, these countries were part of a single economic and political unit, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (which included the entire territory of today’s Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia, and a significant part of Romania: Transylvania, Banat and Partium). Already then, different regions had different economic strengths, but their legal and cultural conditions were the same. By the end of the 20th century, despite their different historical development models, these four countries became once again part of a legal, economic and cultural entity, i.e. the system of the European Union, and then during the first decade of the 21st century, they became its full members. The tax changes implemented by these countries in the recent decades and their success in catching up with the level of welfare in the European Union are studied in this context.

The article reveals the results of two studies conducted to verify the psychometric characteristicsof the D.A. Questionnaire, a scale we have built after the model of accentuated traits of thepersonality, proposed by Karl Leonhard (1972). The first study focuses on the concurrentvalidity, by analyzing the correlations between the factors of the envisaged questionnaire, namelyD.A. (Accentuated Dimensions, version D.A. 3.07), and the factors of the P.A. test (AccentuatedPersonalities), the Romanian version, which has been translated and adapted by I. M. Nestor in1975, from the original German questionnaire elaborated by H. Schmieschek. The two tools wereadministered on a sample of 752 subjects. The second study analyses the internal consistenceand test-retest reliability of the two tests, D.A. 3.07 and P.A., after a year (N=431 subjects). Theresults show satisfactory internal consistence coefficients and also test-retest stability for the D.A.3.07 (Constantin, Hojbotă, Niculescu, Iarcuczewicz & Amariei, 2008), but unsatisfactory ones forthe P.A. questionnaire (H. Schmieschek, 1970). Finally, the authors describe the psychometriccharacteristics of the D.A. 307 questionnaire, and argue its utility in exploring the personality inprofessional context.

Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Podoroga B. V.
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this article is to present history of memory techniques as it described by French philosopher Bernard Stiegler. It is shown that Stiegler speaks from the point of view of humanistic marxism arguing that the positive development of mnemotechnics is determined by their integration into symbolic relations, outside of which they becomes a means of consumer capitalism. History of mnemotechnics is divided on two large periods — preindustrial and industrial, where the former is determined by the dominance of religion, politics and culture, and the latter — by the law of surplus value. It is analyzed Stiegler’s understanding of mnemotechnics as «epiphylogenesis» or «third memory». The main features of mnemotechnical evolution, from the first inscriptions on stone tools to today’s global digital retentional apparatus, is reviewed
Japanese Popular Culture and Digimodernism
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Afanasov N. B.
Published: November 2020

The article addresses the socio-philosophical interpretations of Japanese popular culture. Pointing out the unique position of the latter, the author believes that the experience of a number of successful Japanese projects that have become global phenomena can be used by social and cultural theorists to analyze modernity. The article refers to the genesis of Japanese popular culture in the mid-90s of the XX century, when the most popular part of Japanese pop culture in the West — anime — embodied the postmodern canon. However, a closer look reveals that the optics of postmodernism, which by the end of the XX century had already ceased to be advanced research optics, may not be enough for analysis. A number of phenomena, among which the author highlights the Pokémon media franchise, require a different research approach. As a relevant methodological optics, the article refers to the concept of «digimodernism» by the British theorist Alan Kirby. With the help of its main provisions, it is shown that Japanese popular culture was at the forefront of the cultural process, offering several interesting finds to modernity. After analyzing the socio-philosophical reasons for the success of Pokémon, the author points out that the concept of digimodernism has some applicability for the analysis of modern cultural phenomena, аnd a number of ideas of Alan Kirby about the autistic nature of modern digital civilization could be found as reflected in the culture
Physicalism and moral responsibility: presentation of derivative consequence argument
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Faul B. V.
Published: November 2020

In this paper, the author introduces the derivative consequence argument, which aims to demonstrate that moral responsibility is impossible in the world where physicalism and the strong realism about the laws of nature are both true. The basic intuition of the argument is that if the laws of nature determine the events, then nobody can be responsible for those events, because nobody is responsible for the laws of nature. This intuitive idea is formalized in the categories of derivative causation and motion. This argument is compatible with determinism and indeterminism, and all types of physicalism
Development of material and technical base urban transport companies in Western Siberia in years of eighth five-year plan (1966–1970)
Authors:   Omsk State Transport University, Alafiev M. K.
Published: November 2020

The article discusses the main activities of state authorities, labor collectives of transport enterprises in Western Siberia to improve the operation of urban public transport in the region during the eighth five-year plan (1966-1970). During the study period, the increase in the level of transport services for urban residents was directly related to measures to develop and strengthen the material and technical base of passenger transport enterprises, technical re-equipment of automobile and tram rolling stock, and construction of a new type of public transport in Western Siberia – the urban trolleybus. The author comes to the conclusion that during the eighth five-year plan, urban public transport enterprises in the region received significant material and technical development, which became the basis for increasing the volume of passenger traffic and improving the quality of transport services for the urban population of the West Siberian region
An alternative path to atrial lesions through a contralateral interhemispheric transfalcine transcingular infra-precuneus approach: A case report
Authors: Barrenechea Ignacio J. , Márquez Luis , Miralles Sabrina , Baldoncini Matias , Peralta Silvina
Published: November 2020

Background:

The surgical management of lesions located in the trigone of the lateral ventricle remains a neurosurgical challenge. Previously described approaches to the atrium include the transtemporal, parietal transcortical, parietal trans intraparietal sulcus, occipital transcingulate, posterior transcallosal, and transfalcine transprecuneus. However, reaching this area specifically through the cingulate cortex below the subparietal sulcus has not been described thus far.

Case Description:

We present here the removal of a left atrial meningioma through a right parietal “contralateral interhemispheric transfalcine transcingular infra-precuneus” approach and compare it with previously described midline approaches to the atrium. To accomplish this, a right parietal craniotomy was performed. After the left subprecuneus cingulate cortex was exposed through a window in the falx, a limited corticotomy was performed, which allowed the tumor to be reached after deepening the bipolar dissection by 8 mm. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging showed complete resection of the lesion sparing the corpus callosum, forceps major, and sagittal stratum. Although this approach disrupts the posterior cingulate fasciculus, no deficits have been described so far after unilaterally disrupting the posterior cingulate cortex or the posterior part of the cingulate fasciculus. In fact, a thorough postoperative cognitive examination did not show any deficits.

Conclusion:

The “contralateral interhemispheric transfalcine transcingular infra-precuneus” approach combines the advantages of several previously described approaches. Since it conserves the major white matter tracts that surround the atrium and has a shorter attack angle than the contralateral transfalcine transprecuneus approach, we believe that it could be a potentially new alternative path to reach atrial lesions.

Background:

Choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs) are benign extra-axial tumors that originate from the choroid plexus; these tumors rarely have metastases, being at the spinal level the location with few reported cases.

Case Description:

We report the case of a 48-year-old man with a history of atypical fourth ventricular CPP and gross total resection (GTR) in 2008. In 2015, he presented with radicular pain, decreased strength, and paresthesia in the left leg. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-defined intradural ovoid lesion in the vertebral canal at the level of the L3-L4 intersomatic space. Subtotal resection of the tumor was performed. The patient recovered well, with relief of pain and no neurological deficit. A literature research few cases of CPP metastasis in adults. We describe here a fifth-decade male patient with a lumbar neoplasm, which according to the histopathologic characteristics and location is the first case of an atypical papilloma implant of the choroid plexus at this spinal level.

Conclusion:

GTR of primary lesions and associated implants remains the gold standard for surgical treatment of CPP. Radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and chemotherapy are adjuvant therapies for CPP but there is no definitive protocol for the management of implants. Proper follow-up of these patients is essential since spinal drop can appear many years after the initial presentation of CPP.
