Authors: KM Prathibha , Harsha Soma Sri , Sundararajan Premkumar
Published: July 2022

Background: With 3.95 lakhs of active COVID-19 cases in India and Tamilnadu being the second-largest hub of COVID-19, the health and social impact on the public, especially the health care warriors would be considerable. Objective: To evaluate and compare the levels of knowledge, preventive behaviour and risk perception of South Indian Health Care Professional(HCP) Students regarding COVID-19.Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted in a tertiary care centre and teaching hospital in May-June 2020 amongst 873 students pursuing various HCP courses. The questionnaire comprised four sections - demographic details, COVID–19 related knowledge, preventive behaviour and risk perception. Results: Females volunteered to complete the survey (n= 623; 71.4%) more than males (n= 250; 28.6%). Most participants had received awareness about COVID-19 (n=860; 98.5%) from many resources of information. While females (97.50 ± 8.94) had significantly higher scores on items for preventive behaviour than males (94.7±15.55; p=0.006), the scores were similar for knowledge and risk perception. There was a statistically significant difference in risk perception among various courses with students pursuing Pharmacy having higher risk perception. Items regarding the use of masks in general and hospital setups and availability of antivirals for COVID-19 received many incorrect responses. Conclusions: HCP students presented with high levels of COVID-19 related knowledge and preventive behaviour, but moderate risk perception. Continuing education programs and preventive behavioural training are the need of the hour to strengthen the knowledge and alleviate the anxiety of HCP students towards the pandemic.

Authors: Hodel Sandro , Selman Farah , Mania Sylvano , Maurer Steven M. , Laux Christoph J. , Farshad Mazda
Published: July 2022

Aims

Preprint servers allow authors to publish full-text manuscripts or interim findings prior to undergoing peer review. Several preprint servers have extended their services to biological sciences, clinical research, and medicine. The purpose of this study was to systematically identify and analyze all articles related to Trauma & Orthopaedic (T&O) surgery published in five medical preprint servers, and to investigate the factors that influence the subsequent rate of publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Methods

All preprints covering T&O surgery were systematically searched in five medical preprint servers (medRxiv, OSF Preprints, Preprints.org, PeerJ, and Research Square) and subsequently identified after a minimum of 12 months by searching for the title, keywords, and corresponding author in Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, and the Web of Science. Subsequent publication of a work was defined as publication in a peer-reviewed indexed journal. The rate of publication and time to peer-reviewed publication were assessed. Differences in definitive publication rates of preprints according to geographical origin and level of evidence were analyzed.

Results

The number of preprints increased from 2014 to 2020 (p < 0.001). A total of 38.6% of the identified preprints (n = 331) were published in a peer-reviewed indexed journal after a mean time of 8.7 months (SD 5.4 (1 to 27)). The highest proportion of missing subsequent publications was in the preprints originating from Africa, Asia/Middle East, and South America, or in those that covered clinical research with a lower level of evidence (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Preprints are being published in increasing numbers in T&O surgery. Depending on the geographical origin and level of evidence, almost two-thirds of preprints are not subsequently published in a peer-reviewed indexed journal after one year. This raises major concerns regarding the dissemination and persistence of potentially wrong scientific work that bypasses peer review, and the orthopaedic community should discuss appropriate preventive measures.

Las categorías y conceptos del análisis geopolítico socioterritorial
Authors: Díaz Carnero Emiliano Ignacio
Published: July 2022

La globalización de las relaciones de producción específicamente capitalistas ha modificado todas las relaciones sociales a escala planetaria. Los conflictos, crisis y procesos sociales contradictorios que el fenómeno de la expansión planetaria del modo de producción específicamente capitalista está generando, necesitan ser analizados teórica e histórica, desde una visión integral y multiescalar. El artículo tiene como objetivo exponer los fundamentos lógicos y las premisas teóricas de los niveles de abstracción que acompañan a las categorías y conceptos de la propuesta de análisis geopolítico socioterritorial. A través de un recorrido teórico por autores provenientes de la economía política y la geografía crítica, se retoman una serie de categorías y conceptualizaciones, para proponer herramientas de análisis que nos ayuden a conocer las articulaciones en las relaciones entre las especificidades económicas, políticas, sociales, históricas, geográficas y culturales de cada territorio y formación social, sin perder de vista, la totalidad social que representan los procesos de producción social del espacio dentro del modo de producción específicamente capitalista. Al ser una propuesta y una reflexión inicial, sus alcances están limitados, pues no profundiza en varias de las diferentes dimensiones y fenómenos abordados; y se esfuerza por brindar un panorama general, para en posteriores trabajos, desarrollar y profundizar diferentes aspectos planteados. Las conclusiones se centran en argumentar que las categorías y conceptos, junto con los niveles de abstracción aquí propuestos, pueden ser utilizados como herramientas para analizar diferentes contextos y coyunturas en general, pero sobre todo, conflictos socioterritoriales concretos.

Gènesi, entorn i transformació del Monument a Francesc Soler i Rovirosa de Frederic Marès (1927-1930)
Authors: Torras Virgili Montse
Published: July 2022

Recentment, el Museu Frederic Marès de Barcelona ha identificat la màscara mortuòria de l’escenògraf Francesc Soler i Rovirosa (1836-1900) realitzada pel seu amic l’escultor Enric Clarasó i Daudí (1857-1951) d’entre les màscares de la seva col·lecció. Frederic Marès Deulovol (1893-1991) va utilitzar aquesta peça com a model per modelar un dels elements principals del Monument a Francesc Soler i Rovirosa: el medalló amb l'efígie de l'escenògraf que figura al centre de la base de pedra del monument. Aquest homenatge a Soler i Rovirosa, que fou erigit per subscripció popular, va reunir al seu entorn gran part de la societat cultural de la ciutat i va aconseguir notable reconeixement en l’àmbit de l’art públic. L’article aborda l’origen i la realització d’aquest monument inaugurat el 26 d’octubre de 1930 a la Gran Via de Barcelona.
La Barcelona feminizada: migraciones y mercado laboral en la ciudad industrial (1848-1930)
Authors: Villar Conchi
Published: July 2022

Esta investigación aborda la cuestión de la inmigración femenina en la Barcelona de la industrialización. Barcelona recibió un mayor flujo migratorio femenino que masculino entre el último cuarto del siglo xix y 1930, lo la convirtió en una ciudad feminizada. Se realiza una aproximación a los factores económicos push-pull de los grupos migratorios con mayor peso en la ciudad: catalanas, aragonesas y valencianas. Se sustenta la idea de que los movimientos migratorios temporales y estacionales de las mujeres en época pre-industrial se convirtieron en definitivos en un contexto de coincidencia de elevada demanda de mano de obra femenina del mercado laboral barcelonés y de pérdida de oportunidades de las mujeres en sus lugares de origen. La investigación revela, además, que la crisis de los sistemas de vida tradicionales, en conjunción con los modelos de transmisión y explotación de la tierra, generó modelos emigratorios atravesados por el género.
The production of precarity: industrialization and racial inequality in colonial Zimbabwe
Authors: Frederick Katharine
Published: July 2022

During the mid-twentieth century, the colony of Southern Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe) underwent a rapid process of industrial development, leading tens of thousands of black African men to leave overcrowded rural Reserves in search of better economic prospects in burgeoning industrial cities. Cities in Southern Rhodesia promised higher wages relative to rural areas, but many urban black labourers found themselves in precarious economic positions. Few black industrial workers earned wages sufficient to support an urban family; meanwhile, white industrial workers secured wage rates ten times higher, afforded by colonial institutions geared primarily toward serving the needs of white European settlers. This study zooms in on the foundations and consequences of racial inequality in industrializing Southern Rhodesia and also considers the settler colony in comparative perspective relative to other sub-Saharan African colonies – both settler and non-settler – to draw attention to the interplay between economic development, institutions, and inequality in a colonial context.
Heart rate estimation from facial videos with motion interference using T-SNE-based signal separation
Authors: Wang Hequn , Yang Xuezhi , Liu Xuenan , Wang Dingliang
Published: July 2022

Remote photoplethysmography (RPPG) can detect heart rate from facial videos in a non-contact way. However, head movement often affects its performance in the real world. In this paper, a novel anti-motion interference method named T-SNE-based signal separation (TSS) is proposed to solve this problem. TSS first decomposes the observed color traces into pulse-related vectors and noise vectors using the T-SNE algorithm. Then, it selects the vector with the most significant spectral peak as the pulse signal for heart rate measurement. The proposed method is tested on a self-collected dataset (17 males and 8 females) and two public datasets (UBFC-RPPG and VIPL-HR). Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods, especially on the videos containing head movements, improving the Pearson correlation coefficient by 5% compared with the best contrasting method. To summarize, this work significantly strengthens the motion robustness of RPPG, which makes a substantial contribution to the development of video-based heart rate detection.

Treatment for choice of optimal perfectly matched layers
Authors: Zhu Jianxin , Ma Jintao
Published: July 2022

The perfectly matched layer (PML) method is widely used to truncate the open region when performing the computation of wave propagation. In this paper, based on minimizing both the average discrete reflectivity and the rounding error, some optimal parameters of the PML are obtained. Numerical simulations of wave propagation in the truncated region show that the propagation effect by our PML parameters is better than the other one by the parameters only from minimizing the average discrete reflectivity.

Published: July 2022

Octave-spanning optical frequency comb (OFC) generation has achieved great breakthroughs and enabled significant applications in many fields, such as optical clocks and spectroscopy. Here, we demonstrate octave-spanning OFC generation with a repetition rate of tens of GHz via a four-wave mixing (FWM) effect seeded by a dual-mode microcavity laser for the first time, to our knowledge. A 120-m Brillouin nonlinear fiber loop is first utilized to generate wideband OFCs using the FWM effect. Subsequently, a time-domain optical pulse is shaped by appropriate optical filtering via fiber Bragg gratings. The high-repetition-rate pulse train is further boosted to 11 pJ through optimal optical amplification and dispersion compensation. Finally, an octave optical comb spanning from 1100 to 2200 nm is successfully realized through the self-phase modulation effect and dispersion wave generation in a commercial nonlinear optical fiber. Using dual-mode microcavity lasers with different mode intervals, we achieve frequency combs with octave bandwidths and repetition rates of 29–65 GHz, and demonstrate the dual-mode lasing microcavity laser as an ideal seeding light source for octave-spanning OFC generation.

Published: July 2022

High-power tunable femtosecond mid-infrared (MIR) pulses are of great interest for many scientific and industrial applications. Here we demonstrate a compact fluoride-fiber-based system that generates single solitons tunable from 3 to 3.8 μm. The system is composed of an Er:ZBLAN fiber oscillator and amplifier followed by a fusion-spliced Dy:ZBLAN fiber amplifier. The Er:ZBLAN fiber amplifier acts as a power booster as well as a frequency shifter to generate Raman solitons up to 3 μm. The Dy:ZBLAN fiber amplifier transfers the energy from the residual 2.8 μm radiation into the Raman solitons using an in-band pumping scheme, and further extends the wavelength up to 3.8 μm. Common residual pump radiation and secondary solitons accompanying the soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) are recycled to amplify Raman solitons, consequently displaying a higher output power and pulse energy, a wider shifting range, and an excellent spectral purity. Stable 252 fs pulses at 3.8 μm with a record average power of 1.6 W and a pulse energy of 23 nJ are generated. This work provides an effective way to develop high-power widely tunable ultrafast single-soliton MIR laser sources, and this method can facilitate the design of other SSFS-based laser systems for single-soliton generation.

Background

There are limited data regarding the safety and immunogenicity of the Sinopharm/BBIBP-CorV vaccine in pregnancy. Therefore, we sought to investigate the antibody responses and maternal and fetal adverse events following this vaccine in pregnant mothers in Sri Lanka.

Methods and findings

SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) specific total antibodies and ACE2 blocking antibodies were measured by ELISA in pregnant mothers (n = 94) who received the vaccine in the first (n = 2), second (n = 57) and third (n = 33) trimester of pregnancy. Data regarding adverse events and fetal and maternal outcomes were obtained from the women once they delivered. No adverse maternal or fetal complications reported such as miscarriage, thrombotic events, hypertensive disorders, fetal death, preterm delivery, or congenital anomalies were reported. 58/94 (61.7%) had RBD binding antibodies and were found to be seropositive at the time of recruitment. All women seroconverted after the second dose and 31/36 previously uninfected women and 57/58 previously infected women gave a positive response to ACE2 blocking antibodies. The RBD binding antibody levels (p = 0.0002) and ACE2 blocking antibodies (p<0.0001) were significantly higher in previously infected individuals post-second dose compared to uninfected individuals.

Conclusions

The Sinopharm/ BBIBP-CorV vaccine appeared safe and induced high seroconversion rates and ACE2 blocking antibodies in pregnant mothers in the second and third trimester in pregnancy. However, the RBD binding antibodies and ACE2 blocking antibodies post-second dose were significantly higher in previously infected pregnant mothers post-second dose, suggesting that two doses of the vaccine are likely to be less immunogenic in previously unexposed individuals.

Published: July 2022

The global impact of mosquito-borne diseases has increased significantly over recent decades. Ebinur Lake virus (EBIV), a newly classified orthobunyavirus, is reported to be highly pathogenic in adult mice. The evaluation of vector competence is essential for predicting the arbovirus transmission risk. Here, Aedes aegypti was applied to evaluate EBIV infection and dissemination in mosquitos. Our experiments indicated that Ae. aegypti had the possibility to spread EBIV (with a transmission rate of up to 11.8% at 14 days post-infection) through biting, with the highest viral dose in a single mosquito’s saliva reaching 6.3 plaque-forming units. The highest infection, dissemination and ovary infection rates were 70%, 42.9%, and 29.4%, respectively. The high viral infection rates in Ae. aegypti ovaries imply the possibility of EBIV vertical transmission. Ae. aegypti was highly susceptible to intrathoracic infection and the saliva-positive rate reached 90% at 10 days post-infection. Transcriptomic analysis revealed Toll and Imd signaling pathways were implicated in the mosquito’s defensive response to EBIV infection. Defensin C and chitinase 10 were continuously downregulated in mosquitoes infected via intrathoracic inoculation of EBIV. Comprehensive analysis of the vector competence of Ae. aegypti for EBIV in laboratory has indicated the potential risk of EBIV transmission through mosquitoes. Moreover, our findings support a complex interplay between EBIV and the immune system of mosquito, which could affect its vector competence.
Ens sosté la ciutat sostenible? Política local de reverdiment urbà i risc de gentrificació verda a la ciutat de València
Authors: Muñoz-Haba Aitana
Published: July 2022

En 2015, l’Ajuntament de València inicia una política de reverdiment urbà i renaturalització per mitigar els efectes del canvi climàtic. Segons la literatura, aquestes intervencions poden produir gentrificació verda, que és el procés pel qual el canvi ambiental d’un districte atrau nous habitants de classe mitjana i alta i on viure esdevé inassequible per al veïnat original. Elaborem un model de detecció primerenca del risc de gentrificació verda relacionat amb les noves intervencions renaturalitzadores dels diferents districtes valencians. El model es compon de factors com la proximitat del barri al centre històric, l’adjacència a zones de nova construcció, l’evolució dels preus de l’habitatge respecte de l’evolució de la renda familiar disponible... S’analitzen també les característiques dels projectes urbanístics de reverdiment de la ciutat, districte per districte, per determinar si presenten tendències en el disseny que puguen disparar el risc de gentrificació ambiental. Detectem un risc de gentrificació a Ciutat Vella, Extramurs, Jesús, Malilla, Cabanyal, Natzaret i Benicalap. Quatre projectes de renaturalització especialment alarmants pel seu potencial efecte gentrificador són el Parc Central, el Corredor verd sud, el Parc de la Desembocadura i el Parc de Benicalap. A València, el risc de gentrificació ambiental està relacionat amb altres tipologies de gentrificació com la gentrificació de nova construcció i la turistificació. Tanmateix, existeixen també projectes de reverdiment a escala “humana” que suposen solucions de sostenibilitat justa, alineades amb l’enfocament just green enough (Curran i Hamilton, 2012). Aquests són exemples d’iniciatives sostenibles de la capital valenciana que no obliden sostenir també el seu veïnat.

African Diasporic Connections in the Americas: Toni Morrison in Brazil
Authors: Coser Stelamaris
Published: July 2022

Admired throughout the world, Toni Morrison’s powerful voice resounds in special ways in Brazil, where she conducted part of her research for Beloved –a novel she considered an interrogation about the legacy of slavery in countries like Brazil and the USA. Initially labeled «politically correct» by Brazilian media, her works have finally achieved great visibility in the twenty-first century thanks to translations, a wide readership and increasing academic attention. In fact, Afro-Brazilian women writers, literary critics, historians, and cultural workers have reached unprecedented recognition in recent decades, along with a belated embrace of Morrison and other Black authors. This essay relies on Black feminist, diasporic and decolonial thinking to investigate how Morrison’s writing connects with the ongoing process of racial awareness and empowerment in Brazil, as well as with the writer Conceição Evaristo.
Leyendo Beloved de Toni Morrison en Salvage the Bones y Sing, Unburied, Sing de Jesmyn Ward
Authors: Cucarella-Ramon Vicent
Published: July 2022

Drawing on Harold Bloom’s concept of factility or the unavoidable influence of texts that run through the cultural legacy of the African diaspora, this article examines the intertextual relationship between Morrison’s Beloved and Ward’s Salvage the Bones and Sing, Unburied, Sing. In Salvage the Bones, Ward engages with Beloved to retell the myth of Medea and to rethink black motherhood to keep on interrogating questions of self-definition and the sense of community aiming to offer a more nuanced understanding of black women’s reality under sundry layers of oppression. In Sing, Unburied, Sing Ward rereads Beloved to plunge into the importance of diasporic memory and its role in fostering familial bonds and healing. This is done by using the Morrisonian trope of the familial ghost(s) with the resulting traumatic wounds to exemplify the manifold ways in which collective memory has historically kept communities of African Americans together. This intertextual exercise exposes the way in which Ward’s novels continue to examine Morrison’s account of the violent legacy of slavery and its new practices on African American families and communities from past to present.
Los cambios en el marco moral decimonónico y las nociones de género: El caso de Francisco de Asís de Borbón
Authors: Colás Loricera Félix
Published: July 2022

Las nociones de masculinidad son creaciones culturales que resultan de la evolución social a través de unos procesos de cambio alentados por diversos factores. Entre dichos procesos, para el estudio que aquí se presenta, destaca la transición moral de la sociedad aristocrática-tradicional a la burguesa-victoriana. En el período de dicha transición, Francisco de Asís de Borbón atravesó diferentes experiencias vitales que formularon su identidad y su masculinidad. Al igual que él, otros personajes como el Príncipe Alberto y Luis II de Baviera se veían obligados a amoldarse a las nuevas condiciones sociales. Los tres interactuaron con dos cambios relacionados con la idea de la masculinidad: la medicalización de la sexualidad y la transición del modelo de legitimación de la monarquía. A través del análisis comparado, teniendo como centro la biografía del rey consorte, se adquiere un conocimiento más profundo de las herramientas y dificultades que encontraron a la hora de lidiar con la masculinidad normativa las personas que no encajaban con los nuevos cánones. Entre dichas dificultades destacan la preeminencia del papel de sus esposas como cabezas de familia y jefes de estado, en el caso de los dos consortes y las preferencias individuales, incluyendo la selección del servicio, los gustos artísticos, las personalidades y apariencias en los casos de Luis II y Francisco. Con todas estas características se infieren escenarios en los que los contextos socio-económicos, profesionales, políticos y, sobre todo nacionales, interfieren con la corriente de transición a la que se hacía ilusión previamente, moldeándola de diferentes maneras y con diversas consecuencias. Para Francisco, estas consecuencias implicaron cambios en su estilo de vida y dos etapas muy marcadas en su biografía: el matrimonio y el exilio, aunque estas consecuencias fueron más relevantes en el plano de la corte española, donde quizás el rey hubiera podido tener un papel diferente si las condiciones se hubieran amoldado de manera diferente a sus características.
Bis(indolyl)methane and 8-Hydroxyquinoline Derivative based Mixed Ligand Metal Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, Antimicrobial Screening and Molecular Docking Study

Published: July 2022

Present study described the synthesis of mixed ligand metal complexes of Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II),
Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II). Metal complexes were synthesized by two ligands such as 8-hydroxyquinoline
derivative (primary ligand) and bis(indolyl)methane derivative (secondary ligand). The ligands and
their transition metal complexes were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, mass spectrum, elemental analysis,
TGA, electronic spectra (UV) and molar conductance. The results of analysis predicted that both
ligands are bidentate and resulting complexes are ML1L2 type with molar ratio 1:1:1. To screen their
biological potential, the antibacterial and antifungal activity of synthesized compounds have also
been investigated. Results of antimicrobial activity were expressed as minimum inhibitory concentration
(MIC). Synthesized complexes showed moderate to excellent antimicrobial activity against pathogens.
Further, the more potent antimicrobial complexes of Fe(II) and Co(II) were docked with topoisomerase
II as a receptor protein, Fe-complex bound to Met1113 (2.53 Å), Asn1296 (2.86 Å) and with nucleotide
DC12 (3.28 Å). Similarly, Co-complex bound to Lys1276 (2.27 Å), Leu1280 (2.40 Å), Thr1325 (2.37
Å) and Gly1332 (2.42 Å) via intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
Indonesian pediatricians’ knowledge of Rome IV criteria and their therapeutic approach to infantile colic
Authors: Sridevi Agus Tini , Jonathan Hubert , Wicaksono Brahmantyo Ardhi , Hegar Badriul
Published: July 2022

Background Infantile colic is a functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) that occurs in approximately 20% of infants under 6 months. Even though this condition is self-limiting, inappropriate therapy affects the baby’s future quality of life. Therefore, it is essential for physicians, especially pediatricians, to employ a correct diagnosis based on the currently accepted Rome IV criteria and an appropriate therapeutic approach.

Objective To assess the gaps in Indonesian pediatricians’ understanding of infantile colic according to Rome IV criteria, their therapeutic approach in managing the condition, and associated factors.

Methods We randomly selected 131 pediatricians from the Jakarta Chapter of the Indonesian Pediatric Society to complete a questionnaire aimed at assessing their knowledge on the diagnosis of and therapeutic approach to infantile colic. The questionnaire was scored on a scale of 0 to 20. We evaluated the association between questionnaire scores and their association with several variables, including years of clinical experience, accreditation of pediatric residency institution, type of hospital, and guidelines used.

Results Out of the 131 pediatricians selected, 75 (57.3%) had used the Rome IV criteria. The mean knowledge score of those participants was 14.24 (SD 3.32) out of 20. Mean therapeutic approach score of all participants was 11.50 (SD 2.80) out of 16 points. There was no significant association between either knowledge or therapeutic approach score with length of clinical experience, accreditation of pediatric residency institution, hospital type, or guidelines used.

Conclusions Most surveyed pediatricians who have used the Rome IV criteria have fairly good knowledge of infantile colic. Overall, pediatricians also have a fairly sound therapeutic approach to infantile colic. However, with mean scores of approximately 70% of the maximum score, education is needed to improve on these areas. Knowledge of and therapeutic approach to infantile colic are not associated with length of clinical experience, accreditation of pediatric residency institution, hospital type, or guidelines used.
Using the National Indonesian Growth Chart to assess short stature and obesity in urban schoolchildren in Surakarta, Indonesia: comparisons to the WHO 2007 and CDC 2000 Growth Charts
Authors: Moelyo Annang Giri , Candrarukmi Dewinda , Rachma Ulfa Puspita
Published: July 2022

Background The National Indonesian Growth Chart (NIGC) is a new growth chart based on Indonesian population data. To date, the CDC 2000 or WHO 2007 charts have been widely used in Indonesia to assess the growth of 5-to-18-year-old children. Use of these reference charts may lead to inaccurate conclusions about children’s nutritional status, particularly when diagnosing short stature or obesity. 
Objective To compare assessments of short stature and obesity in Indonesian urban schoolchildren and adolescents based on CDC, WHO, and NIGC reference charts.
Methods Pooled anthropometric data [height, weight, and body mass index (BMI)] were collected cross-sectionally from healthy schoolchildren aged 6 to 18 years in Surakarta in 2013, 2016, 2018, and 2019. We created scatterplots for height, weight, and BMI and analyzed differences in height-for-age (HAZ) and BMI (BAZ) z-scores according to the CDC, WHO, and NIGC growth charts, then calculated differences in proportions of children identified as having short stature or obesity.
Results We included 2,582 subjects; 63% were girls. Subjects’ mean age was 13.1 (SD 3.4) years. Mean differences in HAZ between the NIGC vs. CDC chart and NIGC vs. WHO chart were 1.44 (SD 0.01) and 1.39 (SD 0.00), respectively. Mean differences in BAZ between the NIGC vs. CDC chart and NIGC vs. WHO chart were 0.18 (SD 0.01) and 0.06 (SD 0.01), respectively. The prevalence of short stature was 9.91%, 11.62%, and 0.39% according to the WHO, CDC, and NIGC charts, respectively. The prevalence of obesity was 10.15%, 5.07%, and 11.77% according to the WHO, CDC, and NIGC charts, respectively. The prevalence of obesity according to the WHO, CDC, and NIGC was 7.44%, 2.95%, and 10.08%, respectively in girls and 14.76%, 8.69%, and 14.66%, respectively in boys.
Conclusion The use of the NIGC resulted in a lower prevalence of short stature compared to the CDC or WHO charts. Compared to the WHO charts, the NIGC gave a similar prevalence of obesity overall and in boys, but a higher prevalence of obesity in girls.

Background Hospital malnutrition in children can increase morbidity and mortality, regardless of the type of illness. The Screening Tool for Risk on Nutritional Status and Growth (STRONGkids) is a practical and easy nutritional risk screening tool that has been widely validated in several countries.

Objective To examine the performance of STRONGkids for the early detection of hospital malnutrition in pediatric inpatients.

Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in the pediatric ward of Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The pediatric inpatients' STRONGkids scores were calculated within 24 hours of admission. We used the chi-square test to compare the proportion of at-risk children based on STRONGkids scores with the prevalence of hospital malnutrition based on serial weight measurement. We also determined the sensitivity, specificity, as well as positive and negative predictive values of STRONGkids for detecting hospital malnutrition, with percentage of weight loss between admission and discharge as the gold standard.

Result Out of 75 subjects, 48% were male. The hospital malnutrition prevalence was 29.3%. STRONGkids score was significantly associated with hospital malnutrition (P=0.023). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of STRONGkids for detecting hospital malnutrition was 77.3%, 54.7%, 41.4%, and 85.2%, respectively.

Conclusion With its good sensitivity, the STRONGkids tool is effective in identifying those at risk of hospital malnutrition. In addition, with its high NPV, a “no-risk” score also effectively implies that the child is likely not to have hospital malnutrition.

Трудовая полуавтономия российских учителей в забюрократизированной школе
Authors: Ларкина Татьяна Юрьевна
Published: July 2022

Система российского образования, в том числе школьного, подвергается менеджериализации, а учительское дело становится все более забюрократизированным. По мнению ряда социальных исследователей, такие институциональные силы либо препятствуют профессионализации российского учительства, либо способствуют его депрофессионализации, что проявляется в утрате педагогическими работниками школы трудовой автономии. Автор данного исследования проверяет этот тезис, опираясь на опыт четырехлетнего включенного наблюдения, проведенного в двух общеобразовательных учреждениях Центрального федерального округа Российской Федерации, а также на материалы девяти полуструктурированных интервью с представителями учительской профессии. Анализ собранных данных показывает: хотя существующая институциональная инфраструктура общего образования России действительно ограничивает зону автономного труда учителей, посредством ее элементов они защищаются от давления со стороны родителей учащихся. Кроме того, педагоги обходятся с институциональными правилами церемониальным образом, «расцепляя» их со своей реальной деятельностью, тем самым обеспечивая себе возможность действовать на учебно-воспитательном поприще в соответствии с собственными профессиональными представлениями.

Published: July 2022

The issues and needs of the elderly are receiving attention in various countries of the world. Scientific studies in the field of elderly care have confirmed that old age is a normal developmental stage of growth, which requires the need to work on developing plans aimed at integrating the elderly into society to benefit from their efforts and experiences because they are an essential part of society as well as studying the difficulties they face. Therefore, this study sought to identify the best specifications of smart and functional clothing for the elderly. It also aimed to find out the specifications of smart textiles suitable for the elderly and the requirements for the appropriate functional design for the elderly, according to their needs and desires. It also investigated the possibility to combine smart textiles with functional clothing to set specifications for smart and functional clothing for the elderly. This study was based on the descriptive and applied approaches. The study has managed to propose 5 solutions for 5 elderly body physical problems. The study recommended that clothing factories should be informed of the functional clothing specifications for the elderly, and to draft a measurement table for the elderly, and developing smart textile technologies to serve the elderly.
The Malgrange–Galois groupoid of the Painlevé VI equation with parameters
Authors: Blázquez-Sanz David , Casale Guy , Arboleda Juan Sebastián Díaz
Published: July 2022

The Malgrange–Galois groupoid of Painlevé IV equations is known to be, for very general values of parameters, the pseudogroup of transformations of the phase space preserving a volume form, a time form and the equation. Here we compute the Malgrange–Galois groupoid of the Painlevé VI family including all parameters as new dependent variables. We conclude that it is the pseudogroup of transformations preserving the parameter values, the differential of the independent variable, a volume form in the dependent variables and the equation. This implies that a solution of a Painlevé VI equation depending analytically on the parameters does not satisfy any new partial differential equation (including derivatives with respect to parameters) which is not derived from Painlevé VI.
Computation of Dressians by dimensional reduction
Authors: Brandt Madeline , Speyer David E.
Published: July 2022

We study Dressians of matroids using the initial matroids of Dress and Wenzel. These correspond to cells in regular matroid subdivisions of matroid polytopes. An efficient algorithm for computing Dressians is presented, and its implementation is applied to a range of interesting matroids. We give counterexamples to a few plausible statements about matroid subdivisions.

Protozoal infections caused by species belonging to Leishmania donovani complex are responsible for the most severe form of leishmaniasis, especially in Sudan and other developing countries. Drugs commonly used for the treatment of the disease show varying levels of effectiveness and also have associated side effects. Thus, the present work highlights the synthesis of some chalcones to be used as potential anti-leishmanial agents. The activity of the synthesized chalcones has been evaluated against L. donovani. The ADMET profile of the synthesized compounds were tested using various integrated web-based tools. Moreover, in order to investigate the molecular mechanism of action, the chalcone compounds were docked into L. donovani trypanothione reductase (TR) using Autodock 4.0 and molecular dynamics were studies. Eight compounds showed the highest activity against the morphological forms. Among these compounds, chalcones 15 has shown the highest inhibitory effect with IC50 value of 1.1 µM. In addition, pharmacokinetic and toxicological investigations revealed its good oral bioavailability and low toxicity. Furthermore, chalcone 15 was found to interact with high affinity (−13.7 kcal/mol) with TR, an essential enzyme for the leishmanial parasite. Thus, this promising activity against L. donovani supports the use of chalcone 15 as a potential new therapy for visceral leishmaniasis.

THE FATE AND RECONSTRUCTION OF A ROMAN MOSAIC FLOOR AT PÉCS - EGY PÉCSI RÓMAI MOZAIKPADLÓ SORSA ÉS REKONSTRUKCIÓJA
Authors: Vaday Andrea , Gábor Olivér
Published: July 2022

In Pécs due to the continuous development of the town throughout many centuries, there are only few sites where the remains of the Roman town can be excavated and even fewer remains come to light undisturbed. Some archaeological monuments have already been disappeared for good, others are situated under streets and houses unavailable for any archaeological research. In many cases it is not easy to follow what happened to the finds and remains. The mosaic floor that was found in 1841 during the building of a house at 6 Káptalan Street and a Roman burial chamber, observed during canalization in 1927 belong to this category. Some researchers still consider these as they were parts of the same early Christian building. Some authors made mistakes or misinterpreted the sources, because they relied on old, short and inaccurate descriptions of the finds. Either they were not aware of the sources or did not read them carefully. Therefore there are many different opinions in the publications often contradicting each other. Also, the lack of drawings and documentation added to the difficulties of later research, just like the inaccurate observations in some previous publications. In 2011 when we made the illustrations to Pécs Története (History of Pécs town), Volume I, it became evident, that the reconstruction of the mosaics, published in 1984, and the interpretation of the archaeological remains found in 1927 were inaccurate. These Roman remains did not come to light in the same time yet they are connected to each other in so many ways. We have started our research with the examination of both the written sources and the actual archaeological material. Later we have researched the different opinions of earlier publications and only after that were we in the position - with the help of few survived drawings and photos - to re-evaluate the remains and to make an attemp to reconstruct what they might have looked like in Roman times. Our recent research on the finds from 1841 and 1927 started in 2011, when we made a presentation about them for the archaeology PhD students of the University of Pécs for the first time. In accordance with the topic of the semester first we gave an account of our ongoing research regarding the actual size of the mosaics and the location and identification of Burial Chamber X that came to light in 1927. We have also presented the new, amended reconstruction of the mosaics and some of the corrections we have made. We have published our finished research about the building and the mosaics on the 10th of December 2013 at the Morsa Archaelogica Conference in Pécs. We hope that this article helps to answer the questions that emerged or were left unanswered so far about the mosaics and the archaeological remains found in 1927.
The Emotions in Light of the Work by Vygotsky and Leontiev: Notions, Features and Functions
Authors: Ahrens Andreas , Zascerinska Jelena
Published: July 2022

The emotions impact every single process in an individual’s life. An analysis of the scientific works selected by a Google search based on the terms ‘emotions, Vygostky, Leontiev’ shows that the complexity of the topic is multiplied by the complexity, mixture and fragmentary nature of the approaches applied to the investigation of the emotions. The aim of this work is to revisit the works of Vygotsky and Leontiev relating to the emotions underpinning the identification of notions, features and functions of the emotions. A novel research methodology, the development of the system of external and internal perspectives, was implemented. The investigation into the emotions was based on the theories of Vygotsky and Leontiev: activity theory, law of development, psychological system, word meaning, concept formation, and the unity of language. The theoretical analysis resulted in the definition of notions, features and functions of the emotions. The limitations of the research were identified. Further research directions are proposed.
