CRÍTICA À FORMAÇÃO DO GENTIL-HOMEM DE LOCKE NO CONTEXTO DA SOCIEDADE DO CAPITAL
Authors: Almeida Liliane Barros , Silva Aline De Fátima Sales
Published: December 2019

John Locke viveu em uma época em que o capitalismo, ainda que de forma incipiente, se estruturava e com o olhar acurado já era possível observar os rumos pelos quais a sociedade iria trilhar nos séculos posteriores. A burguesia se fortalecia vigorosa e o consistente e o contínuo comércio internacional movimentava a Inglaterra e os homens de seu tempo. Para o empirista inglês, ao nascer, o homem é como uma tábula rasa, uma folha de papel em branco que somente a partir da experiência sensível pode-se lhe imprimir na mente todo o conhecimento do mundo. Nesse sentido o homem é partícipe ativo de suas construções, tanto no campo do conhecimento como da ação política. É ele o responsável por suas escolhas e por seu destino, no modelo liberal de sociedade elaborado por Locke. Para além da formação do homem industrioso proposta por Locke é necessário formar para a convivência, para a ética, a justiça e o bem, superando a esfera do imediato, do supérfluo, do lucro, do que é venal, numa concepção crítica da existência que considere o ser, a essência, a verdade, a virtude, enfim, os valores perenes da existência individual e coletiva.
Bringing Organizations Back in: Going from Healthy Work to Healthy Workplaces
Authors: Bolin Malin , Olofsdotter Gunilla
Published: December 2019

The aim of this article is to discuss how the concept of inequality regimes can contribute to theoretical and methodological advances in occupational health research. We posit the mutual advantages of bringing together feminist intersectional analysis of inequality in working life with studies of working conditions and health. The job demands and control model (JDC) is used as a starting point for the discussion. Reintegration of organizational analysis into studies of working conditions and health is warranted, as organizations influence how working conditions are distributed and individuals are stratified in the labor market. We refer to that development as going from healthy work to healthy workplaces. We discuss how the concept of inequality regimes is open for mixed method analysis and how it can be used as a theoretical framework for unraveling the ways in which inequalities in working conditions and health are (re)created in different types of organizations.

Authors: Kobiela Jarek , Krajewski Jacek , Kalińska-Błach Beata , Stefaniak Tomasz
Published: December 2019

Specificity of targeting of the oxidative stress towards lipid and protein fractions in a model of estrogen-induced Syrian hamster nephrocarcinogenesis was evaluated. The amount of proteins modified by oxidative stress was significantly elevated as early as one month after the initial implantation of estradiol to the experimental versus the control group, while the stress did not affect lipids. Subcellular localization of the oxidative stress target was determined by the analysis of protein oxidation in subcellular fractions of kidney cells. The endoplasmic reticulum membranes were the fraction most affected by the oxidative stress.
Study of the environmental ecological environment: perception of children and young people of the schools from Obligado District, Department of Itapúa
Authors: Dickel Vanesa Juliet , Bonnin Juan Jose
Published: December 2019

For proper management and care of the environment in a citizenry, the implementation of education from an early age is necessary. Environmental education from its beginnings, when only general concepts about the environment were talked about, until today, with the influence of sustainable development, was intended to help the proper perception of the environment in people, for which we must become aware, besides transmitting to children and young people good practices that influence their daily lives and that constitute a way of life. From the study carried out, it is intended to reflect the perspective in knowledge, management, sensitivity and behavior relating it to environmental issues. Through the use of a mixed type survey, the sample under study was questioned about the level of knowledge about the environment resulting in regular knowledge, at which water and air were presented as an aspect of greater interest as a component environmental. Aware that there are environmental problems at different scales, more specifically, at regional level, environmental pollution is categorized in a first order of importance. Information about the environment is perceived to a greater extent through the media and even to a greater extent through television.

Published: December 2019

Seeds of several weed species have distinct development when germinating under different conditions of temperature, promoting variation on the management system. Thus, this work was carried out with the objective of evaluating the influence of temperature on the germination of five weed species of  Convolvulaceae family, commonly known as morning glory. The work was performed in termogradient table and constituted by five independent experiments, divided by species, in a factorial combination of nine treatments (temperatures) and two seed dormancy breaking conditions (with or without acid scarification). The weed species were: Ipomoea triloba, I. hederifolia, I. quamoclit, I. nil and Merremia cissoides. Nine temperature intervals between 15 and 35ºC were evaluated, under 8 hours of daily photoperiod. Experimental design adopted was totally randomized with four replicates. Percentage of germination was evaluated daily; the speed of germination index was calculated for the species. Generally, it was evident that temperatures lower than 17,2 ºC reduced significantly germination of all species, inhibiting germination of I. quamoclit. Species demonstrated capacity of germinating on temperatures from 20ºC to 35ºC. Acid scarification of seeds with sulfuric acid was able of increasing significantly the percentage of seed germination.

(RE) MAPPING EMPOWERMENT OUTCOMES AMONG MARRIED WOMEN IN RURAL INDIA: A PANEL DATA STUDY
Authors: Howlader Asoke , Sankar Laha Sidhartha , Modak Arindam
Published: December 2019

Purpose of the study: This paper endeavours to re-examine the socio-economic factors influencing empowerment among married women in rural India over two points of time, 2005 and 2012. It examines the interplay of the work status of rural married women and the poverty status of their household in influencing empowerment. Methodology: The study uses the nationally representative multi-topic India Human Development Survey (IHDS). IHDS panel data has been utilized to assess the entry and exit from a workforce of rural married women, to define the components of empowerment among rural married women and analyze the socio-economic factors influencing the empowerment among rural married women. Main Findings: The outcomes show the increase in the overall empowerment rates in spite of their mobility constraints seem to have badly risen during the period 2005-2012, especially in the context of deteriorating work input among rural women. Moreover, working rural married women from BPL (Below Poverty Line) rural households are less likely to be empowered as compared to working rural married women from APL (Above Poverty Line) households. Applications of this study: The rural female work participation rate is declining in the phase of rising economic growth and education. In this context, their empowerment would not only benefit their personal lives but also impact their economic lives, thus contribute to the country`s GDP. This makes it vital to analyze as to what comprises their empowerment in the first place so that it can be promoted through various schemes. Novelty/Originality of this study: Women’s economic empowerment and their participation in work are essential to bringing in the fullest demographic dividend for inclusive economic escalation and sustainable development in India. Thus, empowerment which may not necessarily be implied by employment is conditioned upon the poverty status of the household. However, the empowerment of rural married women is facilitated by higher education of self, husband and other family members.
THE EFFECT OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONAL CASH FLOWS OF COMPANIES ACCEPTED IN TEHRAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE
Authors: Asghar Sameni Ali , Fakour Razieh
Published: December 2019

Purposes: Working capital management can have a huge impact on financial performance and operational cash flows. In this research, the effect of working capital management components on financial performance and operating cash flows have been investigated.

Methodology: The data used in this study are financial statements of companies listed in Tehran securities exchange for the period 2007 to 2011.

Results: The difference between sales and operating profit as a benchmark for measuring performance and the difference between operating cash flow and operating profit as a measure of operating cash flow has been used. Regression results show that there is no meaningful relationship between the components of working capital management with financial performance and operating cash flow.

Implications/Applications: Net income represents the change in a business's financial circumstances incurred through that business choosing to run its revenue-producing operations for one specific time period. Because the business cannot choose to run its revenue-producing operations without incurring expenses while doing so, net income is equal to revenues minus expenses. Expenses are often divided up into additional categories for ease of comprehension. Revenues minus cost of sales is equal to gross profit; gross profit minus operating expenses is equal to operating profit.

Novelty/Originality: The novelty of this study is a balance between current assets and current liabilities, as well as maintaining a balance between profitability and liquidity which can serve a great purpose in the economy.
LEGAL STATUS OF PLATFORM WORKERS IN RUSSIA: RIGHT ON UNEMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL ASSISTANCE
Authors: Sh. Davletgildeev Rustem , R. Klimovskaya Lenara
Published: December 2019

Purposes: Russian Federation as many other States experience the growth of the “gig economy”. The number of people working via platforms grows with every year. As a result, it brings up a new form of employment. Consequently, national law and social security systems have to adapt to new challenges in order to provide from one hand, efficient regulation of such relations, from another hand – to protect the rights of crowd-workers.

Methodology: Russian legislators introduced in 2013 the new concept of “distance work”, which partially covers platform workers. Since late 2019 new regulations concerning non-registered self-employed persons will come into force. Nonetheless, the discussion on the place of crowd-workers remains to be open within practitioners and scholars and still shows the uncertainty.

Result: In this paper, we tried to determine the legal status of platform workers and identify their place within the system of Labour and Social Security Law with a detailed focus on access to Unemployment Benefit and Social Assistance.

Implications/Applications: As a general rule, digital platforms do not impose concrete requirements for the crowd-worker, for instance as the obligation of having registered status as individual entrepreneurship. In this case, any physical person showing the will to work can register with a platform and provide services.

Novelty/Originality: We will try to give the legal definition and to find out the recognition of so-called Platform Workers within the national Labour Law. After the research will be focused on a social cluster: the right of Platform Workers to access to Unemployment Benefit and Social Assistance.
Conflictos, diálogo y acción colectiva con enfoque territorial: nuevas formas de pensar la relación comunidad-empresa- Estado
Authors: Carvallo Patricio , Calvo Guillen
Published: December 2019

El desarrollo de proyectos industriales de alto impacto basados en la explotación de recursos naturales en territorios rurales de Amé-rica Latina implica numerosos desafíos, en­tre los cuales se encuentra el aumento de los escenarios de conflictividad y las dificultades enfrentadas por el conjunto de actores para implementar mecanismos que permitan trans­formar posibles conflictos en oportunidades de acción colectiva. En muchos casos, la conducta de los actores en el territorio es guiada por una lógica reactiva y enfoques transaccionales a corto plazo que no permiten que los escenarios de diálogo generen los resultados esperados. Este artículo busca abrir una discusión sobre las tipologías y las causas de la conflictividad existentes, y sobre nuevas formas de pensar los procesos de diálogo desde el entendimiento de la intencionalidad de los actores, estableciendo un posible itinerario entre la transformación de conflictos, el diálogo y una acción colectiva orientada al desarrollo territorial sostenible.
La actividad carbonífera en Colombia: un análisis a partir de los instrumentos de ordenamiento territorial y planificación socioeconómica
Authors: Julio Estrada Johann Dilak , Bulla Ortega Sandra Milena , Rojo Ospina Julio César
Published: December 2019

El presente artículo analiza el estado de la producción minera de carbón en Colombia a partir de la vocación presente en los muni­cipios donde dicha actividad se desarrolla. En la última década, el desarrollo de la actividad minera en Colombia ha tenido un incremento positivo, destacándose como el quinto mayor productor y exportador de carbón en el mun­do; sin embargo, este desarrollo no guarda una estrecha relación con los indicadores sociales de los municipios que soportan la actividad. La investigación intenta establecer cómo el re­conocimiento de la actividad minera por parte de los instrumentos de desarrollo socioeconó­mico y de planeación territorial es una variable que puede explicar este fenómeno. El abordaje metodológico consistió en establecer relaciones entre el volumen de la producción y la presen­cia o no de directrices dentro de los instrumen­tos de planeación que permitiesen observar el reconocimiento de la vocación minera dentro de los territorios y cómo esta podría apuntar a facilitar el desarrollo de la actividad. Para adelantar dicho propósito se construyó una tipología basada en las características de la producción en la que se sistematizó y analizó la información en cuatro categorías. El análisis permitió identificar resultados no paramétricos sobre la vocación de los territorios y el recono­cimiento de la actividad minera como pilar de la actividad económica del municipio, la cual se puede explicar a partir del grado de impor­tancia y mención que dicha actividad registra en la agenda de planeación municipal.
Increasing the specific impulse of liquid oxygen + kerosene rocket engines by introducing hydrogen into the combustion chamber
Authors: Orlin S.A. , Orlov A.V.
Published: December 2019

The investigation carried out at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University is aimed at establishing whether it may be possible to increase the specific impulse of liquid oxygen + kerosene rocket engines. It involved analytical studies of increasing specific impulse by introducing hydrogen into the oxygen/kerosene propellant. We confirm that, in the case of the oxygen/kerosene propellant used in the first stage engines, introducing hydrogen into the combustion chamber may increase its specific impulse. The results of our thermodynamic analysis show that the specific impulse increase is a function of the mass of hydrogen introduced. This enables the same engine type to be used for the first and second stages of a launch vehicle, which makes the whole system considerably less expensive and more reliable.

Published: December 2019

This study investigated online faculty familiarity, course design use, and professional development interest regarding universal design for learning (UDL) guidelines. The researchers surveyed all 2017 to 2018 online faculty at a large university in the southeastern United States. Findings included 71.6% of faculty reporting familiarity with at least one UDL guideline, with most respondents indicating familiarity with guidelines relating to perception, expression, and communication. Faculty reported the highest implementation of UDL guidelines was for those suggesting options for comprehension as well as expression and communication; the lowest implementation was for those suggesting options for physical action as well as language and support. Survey results also indicated high to moderate interest in learning more about all UDL guidelines, with emphasis on comprehension, persistence, and expression. This study suggests that faculty members desire UDL training and offers possibilities for planning and implementing such professional development in areas targeted to best meet the needs of online faculty.
A Systematic Review of Technology-Supported Peer Assessment Research
Authors: Zheng Lanqin , Chen Nian-Shing , Cui Panpan , Zhang Xuan
Published: December 2019

With the advancement of information and communication technologies, technology-supported peer assessment has been increasingly adopted in education recently. This study systematically reviewed 134 technology-supported peer assessment studies published between 2006 and 2017 using a developed analysis framework based on activity theory. The results found that most peer assessment activities were implemented in social science and higher education in the past 12 years. Acting assignments such as performance, oral presentations, or speaking were the least common type of assignments assessed across the studies reviewed. In addition, most studies conducted peer assessment anonymously and assessors and assessees were randomly assigned. However, most studies implemented only one round of peer assessment and did not provide rewards for assessors. Across studies, it was more often the case that students received unstructured feedback from their peers than structured feedback. Noticeably, collaborative peer assessment did not receive enough attention in the past 12 years. Regarding the peer assessment tools, there were more studies that adopted general learning management systems for peer assessment than studies that used dedicated peer assessment tools. However, most tools used within these studies only provide basic functionalities without scaffolding. Furthermore, the results of cross analysis reveal that there are significant relationships between learning domains and anonymity as well as learning domains and assessment durations. Significant relationships also exist between assignment types and learning domains as well as assignment types and assessment durations.
Research on Virtual Education, Inclusion, and Diversity
Authors: Fermín González Marlene
Published: December 2019

This article covers a topic related to increases in the existing heterogeneity of the university student population, specifically in virtual learning environments. There is a growing concern for offering training alternatives that include all students. As the first step in a line of research related to quality, equity, and inclusion in e-learning, we aim to identify emerging trends in research on inclusive virtual education (IVE) at the higher education level and how inclusion is conceptualized. Our goal is to provide ideas on future research topics and raise issues for further exploration. This research was conducted through a systematic review of articles published in the last decade in the WOS and Scopus databases. Upon reflection, we suggest the need for inclusive e-learning educational designs with greater emphasis on human diversity in all of its complexity. By doing so, we may be able to contribute to increasing the equality of educational opportunities and overcoming the barriers that restrict the access, continuity, and successful exit of the entire student population, regardless of their individual learning needs.

Published: December 2019

Electrical energy is a very important requirement for the community, along with the development of the era and technological advances that are urgently needed, the need for electrical energy is very large, while the source of electricity that is currently being used still uses energy derived from fossil fuels. As we know that the source of energy derived from fossils is very limited, therefore other energy sources are sought or we are more familiar with renewable energy, one of which is the energy source that comes from the sun, which is better known as solar cell. The electricity from this solar cell is very dependent on sunlight which must illuminate the solar panels so that solar energy can be converted into electrical energy. The output from these solar panels is in the form of voltage and electric current. Some factors that can affect the amount of output or output voltage of electric current in PLTS is, temperature, shadow, (cloud condition, and surrounding environment), and wind speed. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to find out how much the shadow effect on the output voltage and electric current produced by PLTS. It is expected that this research can increase the knowledge of energy derived from the sun in this case the solar cell and know the effect of the shadow on the output voltage and electric current from solar panels.The results showed that there was a shadow effect on voltage reduction and current strength in the PLTS system, namely the 10% shadow area and 12.44 volt DC solar panel current and 2.54 amperage, 100% area covering the voltage output panel and the current of solar panels 12.10 volt DC and 0.22 amperage. The area of the shadow that covers the solar panel affects the output voltage and the strong current of the battery that is the area of the shadow 10% voltage and strong current battery 12.35 volt DC and 18.54 amper, 100% area cover the output panel voltage and strong current battery 11.90 volt DC and 13.85 amperes The shadow area covering the solar panels influences the output voltage and current strength of the inverter, namely the area of the shadow 10% voltage and 226.4 volt AC inverter current and 0.97 amperage, 100% covering the output voltage panel and 220.2 volt AC and 0.66 amperage current.

Contemporary challenges of teaching education
Authors: Carneiro Rosalvo Nobre
Published: December 2019

In the public space of the theoretical renewed discourses, the geographic knowledge expands itself from the university world for the school world, with criticism as a key word of the teacher education. Thus, the objective of this paper is to discuss the challenges of teacher education, particularly the one of the teacher of Geography, based on the concepts of communicative competence and universal ethical principles, from the theory of communicative action of Jürgen Habermas. It started from our experience as a professor in Geography College, when questioning the reason for the low participation of undergraduates in establishing a dialogue or an argumentative discourse in the classroom. From the literature review, we identified the current predominant themes in geographic education on the education of teachers in Geography. It was observed the domain of the themes: researcher teacher and citizenship. An understanding of professional and human formal education is defended, associated to the action, around universal ethical principles of geographic base.

Authors: Taylor Dawn , Perry Latricia
Published: December 2019

This study aimed to elicit faculty understanding of the advising role with nursing students in a baccalaureate program. A developmental advising centered pre/post survey were used with a caring workshop to present tools to faculty for use during advising encounters. Content and thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Three themes emerged: Empirical means are useful for determining student motivation; providing a supportive role was central to caring; and self-reflection helps students see the reality of situations. Developmental advising, in conjunction with a caring science philosophy, has the potential to provide a formal approach to advising for nursing faculty.

Total Knee Bartonella henselae Infection: An Unusual Manifestation of Cat Scratch Disease
Authors: Haimes Mark A. , Nelms Nathaniel J.
Published: December 2019

Case:

This is the first clinical report of periprosthetic total joint infection caused by Bartonella henselae. A 65-year-old woman developed an acutely painful total knee 3 weeks after a cat scratch. Serial joint aspirations and tissue cultures failed to identify any organism. Diagnosis was performed with polymerase chain reaction analysis. She underwent a 2-stage revision with successful symptom resolution.

Conclusions:

Bartonella is an unusual cause of total knee infection requiring alternative techniques for diagnosis because cultures are unlikely to be definitive.

Published: December 2019

Case:

Traumatic U- and H-type sacral fractures are often unstable, causing spinopelvic dissociation. We describe a minimally invasive approach that allows percutaneous spinopelvic fixation of unstable H-type sacral fractures using a triangular osteosynthesis construct with S2 alar-iliac screws. We present the case of a patient with traumatic lumbopelvic dissociation who underwent percutaneous S2 alar-iliac and iliosacral screw fixation.

Conclusions:

Combined percutaneous S2 alar-iliac and iliosacral screw fixation is a safe option for spinopelvic fixation and avoids the soft-tissue compromise of open approaches. The triangular osteosynthesis construct provides adequate pelvic anchor points to allow immediate weight-bearing.

Published: December 2019

The relevance of early detection of fire signs is quite obvious because due to the necessary measures for evacuating of people and material values, disconnecting the electrical equipment and extinguishing the fire at the time of the onset of fire or passive smoldering, human casualties can be completely avoided and economic losses can be minimized.

A graphical representation of fire detectors' the classification in the form of a generalized scheme using all the main classification features, their advantages and disadvantages is given. The optimal areas for the use of detectors depending on the fire load are determined. The effectiveness of combined fire detectors' use, equipped in addition to traditional smoke and heat sensors with gas sensors, as an integrated approach to the organization of control over protected objects is shown.

The results of development of highly sensitive two-zone sensor with sensitive elements based on iron oxide films for detecting the release of explosive and poisonous gases in the initial stage of decay before the formation of ignition conditions are presented. The use of gas sensors that respond to hazardous gases in the environment significantly reduces the risk of death due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Published: December 2019

The object of the study is software methods of the Earth surface images processing obtained from the VRSS-2 satellite to determine the spectral composition of the vegetation cover to detect the presence of carotenoids during prolonged exposure to hydrocarbons.

The photosynthetic pigments of higher plants (chlorophylls, carotenoids and phytobiliproteins) were analyzed. In the chloroplasts of higher plants, chlorophyll and carotenoids are present in a ratio of about 3:1. The presence of hydrocarbons increases the amount of carotenoids. Carotenoids have absorption bands in the blue-violet region from 400 to 500 nm and a high reflection coefficient in the red-orange and yellow spectral regions, which corresponds to the multispectral MSS operating mode (B2) of the VRSS-2 satellite camera. An analysis of the vegetation growing in the study area of the Puerto Kumarebo settlement showed that the best indicator of the presence of hydrocarbons in the soil is Prosopis juliflora – CUJI with a deep root system of up to 50 m, growing in the study area.

Using ENVI software, a comparative evaluation of the efficiency of photographs image processing was carried out using the normalized relative vegetation index (NDVI) and the structure-insensitive pigment index (SIPI) to detect changes in the color of green vegetation. It has been established that the SIPI index is more applicable for hydrocarbon search tasks. Moreover, the recorded index fluctuations in the area of uniform vegetation at the level of 2.5 % are characteristic of normal growing conditions and cannot serve as evidence of the presence of factors indicating the presence of hydrocarbons in the soil. For a more detailed assessment of the presence of carotenoids in the foliage and the presence of hydrocarbons in the soil, photographs with high optical resolution of objects on the surface are required.

And basically check point switching occurs on last 3 higher drives.
Testing the advantages and disadvantages of short- and long- read eukaryotic metagenomics using simulated reads

Background

The first step in understanding ecological community diversity and dynamics is quantifying community membership. An increasingly common method for doing so is through metagenomics. Because of the rapidly increasing popularity of this approach, a large number of computational tools and pipelines are available for analysing metagenomic data. However, the majority of these tools have been designed and benchmarked using highly accurate short read data (i.e. Illumina), with few studies benchmarking classification accuracy for long error-prone reads (PacBio or Oxford Nanopore). In addition, few tools have been benchmarked for non-microbial communities.Results

Here we compare simulated long reads from Oxford Nanopore and Pacific Biosciences with high accuracy Illumina read sets to systematically investigate the effects of sequence length and taxon type on classification accuracy for metagenomic data from both microbial and non-microbial communities. We show that very generally, classification accuracy is far lower for non-microbial communities, even at low taxonomic resolution (e.g. family rather than genus). We then show that for two popular taxonomic classifiers, long reads can significantly increase classification accuracy, and this is most pronounced for non-microbial communities.Conclusions

This work provides insight on the expected accuracy for metagenomic analyses for different taxonomic groups, and establishes the point at which read length becomes more important than error rate for assigning the correct taxon.

Background: The Philippines is facing a rapidly rising HIV epidemic among young men who have sex with men (MSM). Testing rates among young populations is poor. HIV self-testing (HIVST) is a promising strategy to address this testing gap. Exploring the perceived acceptability, feasibility and programmatic challenges of HIVST among key informants and target users is an important first step. Method: A qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGD). We interviewed 15 key informants involved with HIV testing programs or policies and 42 target users in six FGD in Metro Manila. We held separate discussions with high socio-economic MSM (n= 12), urban poor MSM (n=15) and transgender women (TGW) (n= 15). Results were analysed using a thematic framework approach. Results: MSM and TGW welcomed the convenience and privacy HIVST could provide. They preferred an inexpensive accurate blood-based kit attained from reputable sites. Key informants at national and local level equally welcomed HIVST but identified a number of policy and regulatory issues. Both groups articulated the challenge of enrolling those who test reactive using HIVST to further testing and treatment in an environment characterised by acute stigma around HIV. Conclusions: HIVST was found to be highly acceptable to target users and was welcomed as an additional testing approach at national level. Strategic alliances are now needed between stakeholders to proactively deliver a patient-centred HIVST program that could provide an effective, safe means of increasing testing coverage in this escalating context.

BackgroundCancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the main component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) of NSCLC, are activated by phenotypic transformation into myofibroblasts. α,1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8), the key enzyme catalyzing core α,1,6-fucosylation (CF), plays important roles in multiple malignancies. In the current study, we investigated the functions and mechanism of CF mediated by FUT8 in CAFs in NSCLC through bioinformatics analysis, retrospective clinical studies and in vitro/in vivo laboratory experiments.MethodsBioinformatics was used to reveal the relationship between FUT8 and CAFs. Resected specimens, clinical data and prognostic information from 135 NSCLC patients were analyzed to assess the prognostic value of FUT8 in CAFs. Primary CAFs and normal lung fibroblasts were extracted from NSCLC patients and cocultured with NSCLC cell lines in a novel noncontact coculture device produced by 3D printing. In vivo, CAF/NSCLC coinjection tumorigenesis assay was performed in nude mice to study the function of FUT8/CF in TME. The mechanisms of FUT8/CF in CAFs regulating the cocultured NSCLC cells were investigated in cell and molecular experiments. ResultsFUT8 in CAFs is an independent risk factor for prognosis. FUT8/CF in CAFs is essential for CAFs to maintain their ability to promote NSCLC. FUT8/CF in CAFs is responsible for the cancer-promoting capacities of CAFs and lead to a malignant tumor microenvironment. CF modification enhances tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR in CAFs, which causes activation of downstream signalings of EGFR and maintains cancer-promoting properties of CAFs.ConclusionFUT8 regulates cancer-promoting capacities of CAFs via the modification of EGFR CF in non-small cell lung cancer.

Background: The clinical and demographic characteristics of the adults involuntary admitted for compulsory mental health treatment have not been reported adequately. Purpose: Investigation of the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the adults who are involuntary hospitalized in the acute Mental Health Services in Cyprus. Method: A descriptive correlation study with cross-sectional comparisons was applied. Data collection was performed from December 2016 to February 2018 via a structured questionnaire including demographic and clinical variables. Each questionnaire was accompanied by a consent form, which was assigned by the participants before their discharge. Results: The sample consisted of 406 people, of whom 262 were male and 144 were female. The vast majority were Greek-Cypriots. The largest age groups were 45-65 years (33%) and 25-34 years (31.8%), respectively. 172 of the participants reported current substance use and 117 of them fulfilled the criteria of dual diagnosis. The most frequent diagnosis was schizophrenia or a relevant psychotic disorder (86.4%). The main cause of relapse and subsequent admission was medication non-adherence along with lack of insight (57.1%). 52% of the sample had been previously involuntary hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital. Conclusions: A high percentage of involuntary hospitalizations was noted due to non-adherence to pharmacotherapy. Re-evaluation of the effectiveness of relevant community interventions is suggested, as well as implementation of structured educational programs on therapy adherence during hospitalization. The goal is the limitation of the frequency of relapse while being in the community. Also, education on substance use prevention is also suggested for clinical populations.

Effect of IC50 dose of retinol on metabolomics of RAW264.7 cells
Authors: Wang Yali , Song Xiao , Geng Yue
Published: December 2019

Background: Vitamin A is one of the most multifunctional Vitamin in the human body and is involved in several basic physiological processes from embryonic development to adulthood, such as embryogenesis, vision, immunity, cell differentiation, and proliferation. The aim of current study was to identify its effects on the differential metabolites and main metabolic pathways. We also analyzed the toxicity of retinol.Methods: In this study, we conducted proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to evaluate metabolomic changes in RAW264.7 cells after treatment with retinol at a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ).Results: Our results showed that the IC 50 dose (140 μM) of retinol affected the metabolism of RAW264.7 cells, with a total of 22 differential metabolites identified via 1 H-NMR, including amino acids, sugars, organic acids, glutathione, glycerin, and creatine. Additionally, multiple metabolic pathways were affected by retinol treatment, including amino acid biosynthesis, protein synthesis, and pyruvate metabolism. We speculate that the cytotoxicity of retinol at the IC 50 dose is attributed to mitochondrial dysfunction as a result of oxidative stress or lipid peroxidation.Conclusions: RAW264.7 cells showed significant changes in protein biosynthesis, urea cycle, arginine and proline metabolism, malate-aspartate shuttle, alanine metabolism, and cellular respiration after treatment with retinol at the IC 50 dose (140 μM), indicating that retinol affects cellular physiological functions via different metabolic pathways.
