La ruta del día a día: cotidianidad laboral en una empresa de transporte público urbano en el Perú neoliberal
Authors: Villanueva Gutiérrez Alejandro
Published: April 2021

La aplicación de políticas neoliberales a partir de la década de 1990 implicó reformas en el sector de transporte. Estas reformas significaron la liberalizacióndel sistema de transporte, con las cuales se eliminaron varias restricciones y se limitó la intervención estatal. Esto tuvo repercusiones en el funcionamientode las empresas, como es en el ámbito laboral. Para ilustrar los efectos de tales medidas, se toma como ejemplo el caso de la empresa Real Express presentando a sus actores y funciones respectivas como una aproximación a su funcionamiento. Sobre este, resaltan condiciones de precariedad laboral, frente a las cuales surgen mecanismos de resistencia por parte de trabajadores a través de una economía moral y otras estrategias individuales que les permiten adaptarse a tales condiciones y maximizar sus beneficios en cuanto les sea posible. Así, se concluye que frente a las adversidades que puedan afrontar los trabajadores de tal empresa, pueden adecuarse a tales situaciones y aminorar los perjuicios respaldándose en diversos recursos sociales e individuales que puedan disponer.

SSHAP: 6 Ways to Incorporate Social Context and Trust in Infodemic Management
Authors: Schmidt-Sane Megan , Hrynick Tabitha , Cole Jennifer , Ripoll Santiago , Tulloch Olivia
Published: April 2021

Information epidemiology or infodemiology is the study of infodemics - defined by the World Health Organization as an overabundance of information, some accurate and some not, that occurs during a pandemic or other significant event that may impact public health. Infodemic management is the practice of infodemiology and may sit within the risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) pillar of a public health response. However, it is relevant to all aspects of preparedness and response, including the development and evaluation of interventions. Social scientists have much to contribute to infodemic management as, while it must be data and evidence driven, it must also be built on a thorough understanding of affected communities in order to develop participatory approaches, reinforce local capacity and support local solutions.

O FINANCIAMENTO DA AGRICULTURA FAMILIAR COMO FATOR PREPONDERANTE PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO DA AGROINDÚSTRIA BRASILEIRA
Authors: De Oliveira Jarnyk Ronaldo , Bezerra de Souza Junior Arthur
Published: April 2021

A proposta do presente artigo é promover uma breve análise sobre os impactos e a dicotomia causada entre a implementação de políticas públicas para o fomento da Reforma Agrária, suas bases constitucionais dentro das normas de aplicabilidade programática, frente a evolução dos recursos empregados para o Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF) e as distorções geradas no cenário do agronegócio brasileiro. O aparente atendimento ao financiamento desta modalidade de negócio agrário, tem se demonstrado ineficiente, expondo vulnerabilidades destes agricultores, principalmente diante dos números do CENSO Agrário 2017 produzido pelo Instituto  Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE).

Religião e progresso em Condorcet
Authors: Ferreira Pedro Peixoto
Published: April 2021

Neste texto buscarei tratar da forma como religião e progresso se relacionam no Esboço de um Quadro Histórico dos Progressos do Espírito Humano, de Condorcet. Sabendo que esta não é uma obra isolada, antes se inserindo dentro da produção mais ampla do autor, farei referência também, quando necessário, a outros estudos que contemplem esta produção e assim contribuam para a reflexão. Farei ainda uma investigação acerca da possibilidade, muito apontada mas pouco pesquisada, de se encontrar, na visão de Condorcet da história e do futuro da humanidade, uma profecia de cunho milenarista. Este texto poderia também ser lido como um contraponto reflexivo acerca do emprego do conceito de "religião" na Sociologia contemporânea. Pois se é verdade que o pensamento que pensa a sociedade atual não poderia se pautar pelas categorias e objetos do pensamento iluminista, não é menos verdadeiro que tais categorias e objetos contribuíram para a sua forma atual na condição contextual de uma "tradição sociológica".
Novas ruralidades
Authors: Luna Marisa Barbosa Araujo
Published: April 2021

Este artigo trata de situações sociais contemporâneas envolvendo novas ruralidades, perpassadas por temas transversais como meio ambiente, identidade, territorialidade e turismo. A região do médio Vale do Ribeira-SP se destaca pelo grande número de Comunidades Quilombolas. André Lopes e Sapatú, já tituladas, têm em comum a sobreposição do território quilombola ao Parque Estadual de Jacupiranga (PEJ). A demanda pelo direito sobre o patrimônio natural da área sobreposta é central neste contexto; a possibilidade de sua exploração turística é vista pelos moradores como uma alternativa econômica à agricultura. Assim, estratégias pessoais e familiares explicitam representações e práticas nas quais se articulam as noções de identidade étnica, ecológica e territorial.
Em defesa da teoria marxista
Authors: Martuscelli Danilo Enrico
Published: April 2021

O discurso da “inter, multi, trans e ultradisciplinaridades” tem sido amplamente difundido nas discussões acadêmicas atuais. No interior das ciências humanas, as tentativas de entrecruzar e justapor as diversas “disciplinas” têm ganhado grande repercussão entre pesquisadores e intelectuais. Consideramos que esse discurso possui um fundamento bastante importante para a observação e a experimentação científicas, à medida que almeja uma análise mais abrangente da realidade social e, ao mesmo tempo, pretende se desvencilhar dos limites da especialização do conhecimento.

Most home and micro-scale industries have poor business management. Good management is able to produce the desired result or good in the business being run. The partner in this community service activity is students of Al Hidayah Senior High School in Mojokerto, who has a business in making ginger drinks “Jahe Sehat”. This training aimed to increase partner’s knowledge and skill about sanitation hygiene and production management. The manufacturing process starts from the preparation of raw materials, namely ginger, extraction, cooking, sieving, packaging and labeling to marketing. It was found that healthy ginger producers still do not understand the importance of hygiene and sanitation in the production process, unattractive packaging designs and no good financial cash planning system. The community service team conducts training and outreach to solve the partner's problems. By carrying out this service activity, partners increase partner’ skills and knowledge and the healthy ginger product "jahe sehat al-hidayah" has an attractive packaging.
The "return" of Czechs as tourists to the Croatian coast
Authors: Jordan Peter
Published: April 2021

Tourist flows from certain regions of origin to certain destinations display a surprising amount of historical persistence in spite of profound changes in the type of tourism, touristic and transport infrastructure and touristic trends. This might be explained by geographic proximity, complementarity as regards leisure facilities, similarity of languages, cultural affinity etc. One of the most striking examples is the "return" of Czechs as tourists to the Croatian coast. The exceptional in this case is that a traditional flow has regenerated after four decades of almost a break, caused by the global political situation of a Cold War and an Iron Curtain. Czechs, in the first line inhabitants of Prague and other urban centers of the Czech Lands, used to frequent the spas of the northern Croatian coast before World War I in large numbers. Baska on the island of Krk, e.g., owed its development to a seaside resort mainly to Czech interest and Emil Geistlich, a publisher from Prague, who set the first touristic initiatives there. In 1910 the resort was officially titled "Croatian-Czech seaside and health resort" and 3 out of 4 guests originated from the Czech Lands (Sersic, 1994, p. 83). But there were other "national" Czech resorts too. In the interwar period the influx from Czechia became less prominent, albeit it was still remarkable. Even in Opatija, although at that time under Italian administration, in 1929 Czech guests ranked second after German tourists. Yet, Opatija hosted more Czech guests than tourists from Austria or even Italy (Statistica delle stazioni di cura .... 1929). During the communist period the flow of tourists from Czechia to the Croatian coast followed quite closely the ups and downs of political liberalization and rigidity oscillating between figures near to zero in the 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s and relative highs in the late 1960s (Prague Spring) and in the mid- 1980s. But immediately after the break-down of Communism in 1989 the flow of Czechoslovakian (actually mainly Czech) tourists to the Croatian coast increased significantly taking advantage of the (due to the wars in Slovenia and Croatia) low prices and easily available accommodation facilities. In 1994 tourists from the Czech Republic held the highest share in foreign overnight stays (Croatian Tourism Figures 1995, p. 24). Already in 1992 Czechoslovakian tourists had spent the relative or absolute majority of foreign tourist nights in 14 resorts statistically documented (Promet turista u primorskim opcinama 1992,1993). Among them were Baska, Krk, Njivice, Rabac, Rab, Kampor and Medveja.
Integriertes Reiseziel-Management
Authors: Luft Hartmut
Published: April 2021

Die Effizienz der kommunalen Fremdenverkehrsförderung in Kroatien wird man nur dann als gewährleistet ansehen können, wenn von vornherein von einem einheitlichen Ordnungssystem ausgegangen wird, nämlich da • die öffentlichen (gemeinwirtschaftlichen) Aufgaben den Gemeinden zuzuschreiben sind • die Vermarktungsaktivitäten dagegen der privatwirtschaftlichen Interessenssphäre und damit einer privatrechtlichen Organisationsweise. Zu den öffentlichen Aufgaben der Gemeinde zählen im wesentlichen die Schaffung und Bereitstellung einer angemessenen Infrastruktur, die Bereitstellung und Organisation touristischer Einrichtungen (Kur- und Erholungseinrichtungen), die Imagewerbung sowie die Abhaltung von Veranstaltungen. Die gesamtärtliche Vermarktung dagegen gehrt in die Hand der gesamten touristischen Leistungsträgerschaft, weil die betreffenden Aktivitten/Leistungen (=Verkaufswerbung, Verkaufsfrderung, Verkaufs- und Vermittlungsaktivitäten) den gewerblichen Anbietern selbst zugute kommen und sich folglich auch an deren Bedarf orientieren müssen. Man muß also für die Vermarktung eine Organisationsform wählen, die die Mitbeteiligung und Mitfinanzierung aller touristischen Anbieter fördert, und das sind nun einmal Fremdenverkehr GmbHs in greren Fremdenverkehrsorten und Fremdenverkehrsvereine in kleineren Fremdenverkehrsorten. Die verkaufsorientierte Zusammenarbeit aller Leistungstrger muß dazu führen, da zunchst auf rötlicher Ebene elektronische Informations- und Reservierungssysteme (IRS) installiert werden, um die Gäste mit einer Vielzahl von Informations-, Vermittlungs- und Verkaufsdiensten versorgen zu können. Und die einzelnen lokalen Fremdenverkehrsstellen sollten auch innerhalb einer Fremdenverkehrsregion mit einem gemeinsamen, zentralverwalteten Rechner (=Datenbank) berbunden sein, damit jede lokale Fremdenverkehrsstelle her die Leistungsvielfalt der ganzen Fremdenverkehrsregion verfügen kann. Die Einbindung der einzelnen Fremdenverkehrorte in ein regionales Landschafts- und Erlebnisprofil bewirkt unzweifelhaft eine multiplikative Vergrerung ihrer Anziehungskraft. Darüber hinaus müssen die kroatischen Fremdenverkehrsorte und - regionen zugleich eine berregionale EDV - Vernetzung ins Auge fassen, um auf die baldige Möglichkeit eines Vertriebsverbunds mit ausl-ndischen Reisebüros vorbereitet zu sein.
Hotel image and branding and characteristics of Croatia's hotel industry
Authors: Pančić Kombol Tonka
Published: April 2021

On the World and European market, and in scientific and trade publications marketing principles for creating the hotel product, as well as quality hotel management have been developed, confirmed and defined, and form firm foundations for hotel image and branding development. An understanding for the hotel as a product whose name is connected with quality of services and offer in the customer’s mind is not made use in the development of Croatia’s hotel industry. The paper emphasises the importance of representing the hotel as a product. The development characteristics of Croatia’s hotel industry for which hotels were not developed using branding, instead as a single hotel offer for mass tourism, are underlined. The education of managers and marketing experts will play a major role in solving the development problems of Croatia’s hotel industry.
Restoration of monuments and tourism
Authors: Vierda Vjekoslav
Published: April 2021

The article considers the relationship between renewal of monuments and tourism from the aspect of a mutual experience of the future cultural historical monuments, as a part of a nation’s total cultural heritage and as one of the most important preconditions for tourism development. Renewal of monuments is partly aimed at increasing the attractiveness of the tourism offer; at the same time it displays the relationship of a given tourist destination towards a country’s cultural heritage and surroundings, and is a part of real tourism trends. The mutual relationship between renewal of monuments and tourism is considered through two aspects: 1. Renewal of monuments as a precondition for securing a tourist attraction i. e. a monument which is already a tourist attraction, monument renewal as a condition for increasing the attractiveness of the same, and 2. Renewal of monuments as a tourist attraction sui generis, where the scheme of renewal attached to the monument’s attractiveness is given as the initial theme, i.e. means of collecting financial aid for renewal, while a second theme considers the renewal as an attraction sui generis through all phases to finishing the renewal and introducing the monument. Finally, the article gives suggestions on how to organize co-operation between institutions responsible for tourism, i.e. for the protection and renewal of monuments.
Role of sport and recreation in the development of Croatian tourism
Authors: Bartoluci Mato
Published: April 2021

Tourism in Croatia is on the turning point of its development. War devastation in Croatia negatively affected tourism. The process of restoration of Croatian tourism should not only renovate the ruined tourist facilities, but it should also overcome the disadvantages of the past development of tourism. One of the important factors of the variety and quality of tourist offer are sports-recreational activities and programmes which provide the possibility of active rest and recreation. In Croatian tourism, the sports-recreational offer has reached a certain level of development, but this offer is primarily oriented towards mass tourism. The policy of the development of Croatian tourism, which is directed towards strengthening of qualitative factors of tourist offer, expresses the need of innovating the sports-recreational offer which will be compatible with the new quality of Croatian tourism. This paper treats tourism and sport as interrelated fields, and emphasizes the factors of their interdependence. A short survey of historical interdependence of tourism and sport is also given in this paper. The role of sport in modern tourism is rather significant, because it becomes one of the essential motives for travelling to certain tourist destinations. The role of sport in tourism is manifested through numerous functions that are common to sport and tourism. These functions are: the health function, educational function, socio-political function and economic functions. Sport and recreation, apart from the fact that they enrich the tourist offer, often become the main motive for travelling to certain tourist destinations. Such trips represent a special selective type of tourism - the sports-recreational tourism. Apart from humanistic functions, sports-recreational tourism is the creator of certain economic values. The economic effects of sport in tourism are realized within tourist organizations, but also outside tourism (sporting equipment industry, building, handicraft trades, trade, etc.). This paper also gives the survey of the achieved economic effects of sport and recreation in Croatian tourism on the basis of several indicators: the number of the realized "sports room/nights", the number of users of sports-recreational services, and the achieved profit from sports-recreational services. These indicators also confirm the thesis that the sports-recreational services are an income-oriented category. The paper concludes with the evaluation of development possibilities of sports-recreational tourism in Croatia.
Financial framework for risk management
Authors: Ivanović Zoran
Published: April 2021

The derivation of a decision framework from which to derive and appraise risk management strategy requires a clear statement of corporate objectives. This article follows the mainstream of financial management in assuming that a firm wishes to maximize the value of the existing owners’ equity, which means the maximization of share price. This objective is referred to, somewhat loosely, as value maximization. From the value-maximization objective, a risk management decision structure was derived. The three processes in a risk management decision relate to the identification of risk management exposures, the measurement of their impact on the firm, and the actual decision. Once risk exposures are identified, their potential for destroying share value must be measured. The decision process may be divided into those decisions concerning the use of fund, investment decisions and those concerning the source of funds, financing decisions.
The Dynamics of Changing Comparative Advantage in ASEAN-4: Flying Geese Model
Authors: Permatasari Iis Dwi , Wilantari Regina Niken , Lestari Endah Kurnia
Published: April 2021

Globalization makes all the economic activities of the country becomes more open. Trade openness leads to increasingly fierce competition conditions and then raises a competitiveness. This competitiveness is the key for each country to develop products to be exported. Competitiveness is one of the criteria that determine the success of a country in international trade. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of changes in comparative advantages occurring in ASEAN-4 countries (Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand) in 1989 to 2016 using Product Mapping method which combines calculations between RSCA and TBI in each product classification. The results show that each country has different comparative advantages, including Indonesia which has a comparative advantage for unskilled-labor product classification (TPT and garment) and on primary product (oil and its derivative products) and is the leader for both products. Then the Philippines has a comparative advantage for the classification of technology intensive products (electronics) which is also a leader in the product. In addition, the results of research also found a change in comparative advantage as well as product specialization, including Thailand which no longer has a comparative advantage on human-capital intensive products (rubber and derivative products) but still a net-exporter. So it is with Indonesia who no longer has a comparative advantage on natural-resource products (lead) but still a net-exporter.
Implementation of integrated design systems in the learning process
Authors: Petukhov A. V.
Published: April 2021

The modern stage of development of CAD-systems is characterized by a significant expansion of the scope of their use. An interesting direction for improving CAD systems is their integration with CAM systems. One of the main tasks solved by CAM systems is the development of control programs for CNC machines. Many software developers for automation of design and technological preparation of production have already equipped their systems with appropriate modules. These circumstances pose an urgent task for higher educational institutions to introduce the study of integrated CAD/CAM systems into the educational process of training design engineers. In this case, the emphasis should be placed on the practical mastery of the skills of developing control programs using a 3D-model of the manufactured part. The stages of preparation for the implementation of the system are described, starting with the analysis of the market of necessary software products and ending with the adaptation of the licensed system to the conditions of use in the educational process of the university. A link is given to the description of the methodology used in the assessment of automated systems at the stage preceding the tender for their purchase. It is emphasized that the study of the possibility of using a CAD/CAM system in the preparation of design engineers was carried out by students during the course and diploma projects in the discipline “Automated systems for technological preparation of production”. The methodology for designing control programs used by students is given, and the results obtained are assessed.

The treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) is hampered by low chances of treatment response in each treatment step, which is partly due to a lack of firmly established outcome-predictive biomarkers. Here, we hypothesize that polygenic-informed EEG signatures may help predict differential antidepressant treatment response. Using a polygenic-informed electroencephalography (EEG) data-driven, data-reduction approach, we identify a functional brain network in a large cohort of predominantly psychiatric patients (N=1,123), and discover that this network is sex-specifically associated with polygenic liability to psychiatric illness. Subsequently, we demonstrate the utility of this network in predicting response to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and antidepressant medication in two independent datasets (N=196 and N=1,008). A stratification model aimed at stratifying patients to rTMS or sertraline based on only this EEG component yields improved remission rates varying from 22% to 39%. Overall, our findings highlight the power and utility of a combined polygenic and neurophysiological approach in the search for clinically-relevant biomarkers in psychiatric disorders.

Authors: Unsal Ugur , Sabur Huri , Soyler Mehmet
Published: April 2021

Purpose: To describe a novel surgical technique for iridodialysis repair using iris retractor segments and report its clinical results.Methods: 53 eyes of 53 patients who underwent surgery for iridodialysis repair were enrolled in this retrospective study. Data recorded from patient files consisted of age, sex, history of trauma, surgical indications and type of surgery, preoperative and postoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), complications, and follow-up time. The novel, minimally invasive surgical technique was explicitly described in detail.Results: Mean follow-up time was 34.4 (range 12-84) months. The subjects were 29 (54.7%) men and 26 (45.3%) women, and the mean age was 56.6±14.0 years. Iridodialysis repair performed using one segment in 37 (69.8%) eyes, two segments in 15 (28.3%) eyes, and three segments in 1 (1.9%) eye. Pupilloplasty was performed in 17 eyes due to wide pupil diameter. The iridodialysis repair was combined with lens removal in 48 eyes, and anterior vitrectomy was performed in 10 eyes. CDVA significantly improved after surgery (p<0.001). Post-traumatic IOP rise was the most common complication, and six patients needed medical therapy for glaucoma control.Conclusion: Iridodialysis repair using iris retractor segment is a minimally invasive technique and found to be safe and effective, providing less surgical manipulation and surgical time than other techniques.

The secondary objective was to assess disparities in food access based on race, zip code and insurance status.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with cancer who were hospitalized at The Ohio State University James Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSU-CCC) were identified to participate by the Department of Social Work. Each patient completed the HVS and the 18-item HFSS. The prevalence of food insecurity was estimated and 95% Wilson score confidence intervals were calculated. The agreement between the prevalence of food insecurity as measured by the two different instruments were compared through the use of McNemar’s test. Disparities in food access based on race, zip code and insurance status were further assessed with Fisher exact tests. RESULTS: One hundred and twelve patients participated. We found that the HVS identified food insecurity in 14.3% (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 9.1, 21.7) of participants, whereas the 18-item HFSS identified 8.6% (95% CI: 4.8, 15.1) of participants. However, there was no significant difference between food insecurity as measured by the HVS and the 18-item HFSS (p = 0.289). There were also no significant differences in food insecurity based on race, insurance status or geographical location of patients.CONCLUSION: The HVS is an alternative to the 18-item HFSS as a valid tool to assess food security amongst hospitalized patients with cancer.

Drilling is an indispensable machining operation for manufacturing bulk metallic glass (BMG) medical appliances, which generally have complicated shapes and require high dimensional accuracy. Unfortunately, the available research on the drilling of BMG is limited, and thus reliable guidelines for practical production are lacking. For this reason, this paper focuses on the BMG machinability in the industrial range. The high-speed drillings of BMG specimens were carried out in dry, wet (cutting fluid), and frozen (icing clamp) conditions. The relationship between the thrust force, torque, drilling energy, tool life, tool wear, as well as the hole quality (burrs, diameter deviation, taper angle, and circularity) were studied. The cooling methods and matching spindle speeds were optimized, and the investigation has shown that wet drilling with high spindle speed is the most suitable method for machining BMG as it resulted in the longest tool life and the highest hole quality. Tool failure modes for all cooling methods included plastic deformation and rake face abrasions, in addition to the abrasive and adhesive wear on flank face. The chip adhesion to the entry hole was identified as the primary cause for the large entry burr. Finally, the crown-shaped exit burr rupture triggered the warpage and tearing of the material around the hole.

Purpose

NCCN guidelines recommend surgical excision for all patients with atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) on percutaneous biopsy. Improved imaging and biopsy techniques have lower contemporary upgrade rates, challenging standard practice.
Methods

A retrospective analysis identified 87 percutaneous biopsies diagnosing ADH who underwent surgical excision at a single institution from 01/2008 to 10/2015. Imaging was reviewed for lesion size and residual calcifications. Biopsy slides were reviewed for ADH features. Categorical variables were analyzed using Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests; continuous variables with T- and Wilcoxon tests. Logistic regression model was used to determine association between odds of upgrade and number of low-risk features.
Results

Upgrade was identified in 13 cases (14.9%; 11 ductal carcinoma in situ and 2 invasive breast cancer). Imaging features associated with lowest risk of upgrade included imaging size < 1cm (p = 0.004) and > 50% removed by biopsy (p = 0.03). The only pathologic feature significantly associated with upgrade was the presence of micropapillary features (p = 0.10), with lower extent of ADH (1–2 foci, p = 0.12) trending toward significance. Those with the lowest risk of upgrade (0%) had all 4 low risk features (n = 17, 20%). The loss of a low-risk feature increased the odds of upgrade by 189% (OR = 1.89, 95% CI 0.241,0.742, p = 0.001).
Conclusion

Contemporary imaging and biopsy techniques have resulted in lower upgrade rates for ADH. Patients at lowest risk for upgrade can be identified using a scoring system and may be safely offered active surveillance over surgical excision.

Purpose Hides are the by product of slaughter houses which are mostly used for leather production. In Canada, the hides are either disposed of with other slaughter waste or sold at a very low price. Dehairing of hides is a prerequisite for either leather or gelatin production from it. Therefore, the effect of hide dehairing method on subsequent gelatin extraction and quality was investigated.Methods Bovine hides (BH) were dehaired using either 5% acetic acid (AA), 10% calcium hydroxide (CH), 0.02% keratinase (KTN), 2.5% papain (PP), or not at all (control; CT), with control BH subsequently treated with 5% AA (CTAA).Results Mean bovine hide gelatin (BHG) yields (dry basis) were 11.37%, 54.25%, 45.07%, 18.88% and 55.02% for CT, AA, CTAA, CH, and KTN, respectively. Gel strength was highest in AA followed by the CTAA, CT and CH and KTN treatments. The molecular weight (MW) distribution pattern showed that dehairing of BH with enzymes degraded the collagen extensively, increased proportions of low MW peptides that translated into low gel strength.Conclusions Acetic acid, which is extensively using in food industry, can be used to dehair BH as pre-treatment to extracting high quality gelatin.

We present a prolonged disease course in a 32-year old woman with COVID-19 and multiple sclerosis on rituximab-treatment for three years. The patient was admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 and had persistent fever, cough and radiologic bilateral lung opacities over the course of 29 days. After ineffective antibiotic treatment and the detection that she had no antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma was administered with rapid recovery ensuing. While there is evidence convalescent plasma is not superior to placebo for COVID-19 in general its role in patients with B-cell depletion and COVID-19 remains to be examined further.

Single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analyses have been widely applied to decipher cell-type and regulation complexities. However, experimental conditions often confound biological variations when comparing data from different samples. For integrative single-cell data analysis, we have developed SCALEX, a deep generative framework that maps cells into a generalized, batch-invariant cell-embedding space. We demonstrate that SCALEX accurately and efficiently integrates heterogenous single-cell data using multiple benchmarks. It outperforms competing methods, especially for datasets with partial overlaps, accurately aligning similar cell populations while r,etaining true biological differences. We demonstrate the advantages of SCALEX by constructing continuously expandable single-cell atlases for human, mouse, and COVID-19, which were assembled from multiple data sources and can keep growing through the inclusion of new incoming data. Analyses based on these atlases revealed the complex cellular landscapes of human and mouse tissues and identified multiple peripheral immune subtypes associated with COVID-19 disease severity.

Background: Evaluation of kinematic axial cervical rotation performance is of major importance in the context of studying sensorimotor control of the neck. However, studies are missing on acute neck pain, on the influence of the level of provocation of spinal pain, and on the potential benefits of manual therapy mobilizations. Methods: A non-randomized prospective trial with intervention assessed the influence of acute non-specific neck pain on kinematic parameters during a fast axial head rotation task standardized with the DidRen laser test device. First, we compared kinematic parameters between patients and healthy controls. Second, we assessed whether upper or lower spinal pain location influenced these kinematic parameters. Finally, we examined the short-term effect of passive cervical mobilizations in patients on these kinematic variables. Results: We observed that patients were significantly slower (total time) to perform the DidRen laser test (4.5 s; p<0.006) and to reach the end of rotation from peak acceleration (0.02 s; p<0.016). The time between peaks acceleration and deceleration (-0.03 s; p<0.003), the time to peak deceleration (0.004 s; p<0.003), to peak acceleration (0.04 s; p<0.001) and to peak speed (0.01 s; p<0.001), the average speed (7.2 °s-1; p<0.001), peak speed (21.7 °s-1; p<0.010), acceleration (143.5 °s-2; p<0.013) and deceleration (-193.1 °s-2; p<0.006) were significantly slower for patients compared to controls. No significant effect of spinal pain location was observed on kinematic variables. After the intervention, patients were faster for average speed (2.9 °s-1; p<0.02), peak speed (8.7 °s-1; p<0.011), peak deceleration (69.7 °s-2; p<0.007). Patients took less time to reach peak speed (0.01 s; p<0.033) and peak acceleration (0.01 s; p<0.028). They took also less time (-0.01 s; p<0.003) between peak acceleration and deceleration and to stabilize the laser into the target (0.12 s; p<0.026) and to perform the DidRen laser test (4 s; p<0.001). Conclusion: The DidRen laser test allowed to demonstrate significant differences in kinematic axial cervical rotation in patients suffering from acute non-specific neck pain compared to pain-free controls. No significant effect of spinal pain location was observed on kinematic variables. Pain reduction significantly improved the patients’ kinematic parameters.
