Referente y proyecto arquitectónico
Authors: Castillo Arq. María de la Paz
Published: December 2019

Este trabajo aborda la relación del proyecto arquitectónico con la arquitectura precedente, con el cuerpo de obras y proyectos que forman parte de la herencia disciplinar. En particular, se problematizan las distintas modalidades que toma esta relación en ciertas didácticas proyectuales académicas actuales en las que la obra precedente dialoga con el nuevo proyecto bajo el nombre de referente. El uso de este término es resbaladizo e inespecífico: muchos son los significados y prácticas que incluye dependiendo del ámbito donde se lo utilice. Para evidenciar esta aparente polisemia se indaga en experiencias desarrolladas en talleres de proyecto de algunas escuelas en Buenos Aires –especialmente en la UBA, DI TELLA y UNSAM. A través del análisis de casos, intentamos alumbrar algunos de los modos particulares en que se ha dado la relación entre proyecto y referente. A su vez se revisan otros términos de uso frecuente –analogía, paradigma o material de proyecto– que permiten poner en diálogo y tensar el concepto de referente que intentamos discutir. La principal hipótesis es que detrás del referente se ocultan no sólo significados diferentes sino también operatividades proyectuales diferentes, modos de instalar el proyecto en una determinada tradición que implica y prescribe modos particulares de hacer.
Una mirada desde el interior
Authors: Pantaleón Dr. Arq. Carlos
Published: December 2019

Este trabajo de reflexión indaga  el significado de la palabra paisaje y su valor en el quehacer arquitectónico. Se basa en la investigación realizada sobre distintos conceptos de paisaje definidos a partir de los procesos perceptivos del hombre, sobre los imaginarios que conforma como producto de esos procesos, la incidencia de esos imaginarios en su formación cultural y el comportamiento que desempeña en el mundo a partir de la incorporación de esos imaginarios.

En este caso, y con el objetivo de reflexionar sobre algunas de las nociones desde las cuales se diseña un edificio, se considera la obra de arquitectura como intermediaria entre el sujeto que la habita y el entorno que la contiene, concibiéndose como un dispositivo para provocar sensaciones a través de imágenes proyectadas por el arquitecto.

Prologa el trabajo una síntesis de la historia del paisajismo en Occidente y en Oriente que define el marco teórico de este trabajo, a la vez que expone y documenta los conceptos que aquí se manejan. A partir de estos conceptos y a modo de conclusión, se reflexiona sobre los aportes que hace la Iglesia en el Agua, proyectada y construida por el arquitecto japonés Tadao Ando, a este enfoque particular del tema.
BATALLAS OBRERAS EN CONTEXTOS DE RADICALIZACIÓN SOCIAL Y POLÍTICA EN LA AGROINDUSTRIA (GRAN ROSARIO, 1969- 1972)
Authors: SIMONASSI SILVIA , VOGELMANN VERÓNICA
Published: December 2019

Este artículo se propone analizar las batallas obreras acontecidas en la industria de la alimentación en el Gran Rosario luego del “Cordobazo” (mayo de 1969) y de los “Rosariazos” (mayo y setiembre de 1969). Dichas luchas fueron escasamente exploradas por la historiografía hasta el momento desde la perspectiva propuesta. Se articulan transformaciones estructurales, luchas y organización en una escala regional/local sin perder de vista las dinámicas nacionales. Asimismo, se develan los límites y contradicciones del proceso de radicalización social y política en el marco de luchas defensivas, por la conservación de fuentes de trabajo frente a suspensiones, cesantías y cierres. Se utilizan fuentes diversas: entrevistas, prensa periódica, de organizaciones sindicales y políticas, y documentos de servicios de inteligencia.

Ventajas de la migración a los servicios de la nube en el sector público de salud del Valle del Cauca
Authors: Gutiérrez Rodríguez César Augusto , Almeida Delgado Ricardo Andrés
Published: December 2019

La computación en la nube no solo tiene múltiples beneficios a nivel informático y organizacional, también apoya el cuidado del medio ambiente. Este artículo describe los resultados de un estudio realizado a las áreas de tecnología de información (TI) de 13 hospitales de segundo nivel del Valle del Cauca, Colombia, donde además de conocer el estado de su infraestructura lógica y física, se identificaron otros hallazgos como el mal tratamiento de material RAEE (residuos de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos) como computadores o máquinas para realizar diagnósticos, papel y plástico. Como estudio de caso se implementaron las tres primeras fases de un modelo de migración a la nube al área de TI del Hospital Departamental Mario Correa Rengifo, lo que mostró como resultados las ventajas de migrar sus servicios en tanto se minimizan al máximo riesgos informáticos como la pérdida al acceso de la información por la vulnerabilidad de estado del servidor y las conexiones o el deterioro de información reposada en carpetas físicas, el aprovechamiento de los equipos de cómputo y la reducción de residuos.

Authors: Landines Jiménez Katherin , Nieves Pimiento Nayive , Toledo Bueno Carlos Augusto
Published: December 2019

This document analyzes the efforts made to the human femur through a simulation of finite elements in Solidworks, in order to carry out the design of the femur in this study, the average height of the population of Malaysia were used, which is similar to that of the average Colombian population (Table 1.) and for the tests, a material with the same mechanical characteristics was simulated in the program of the human cortical bone, permitting a more approximate visualization of stresses and deformations to which the femur is exposed in the usual state and thus, identify the critical areas in which the probability of fracture or wear is greater, the results of this analysis do not apply For women in a state of pregnancy or people with osteoarthritic diseases. This analysis is important to identify which are the areas that present greater deterioration, considering that the bones lose their property of self-recovery over the years increasing the probability of presenting a fracture, having this information clear the prosthetic studies and medical treatments focused on the femur can be deepened. In this analysis, it can be identified that the male femur has greater resistance to tension and deformation than the female femur and how the femoral head is the most critical area of both the female and male fêmur.

Wie können Modelle zur Simulation von Akteursverhalten bei der Politikberatung zur Entwicklung von Maßnahmen zur Unterstützung der Genese und Diffusion nachhaltiger Technologien eingesetzt werden? Für Analysen zur Technologiegenese existiert bereits ein entsprechendes Simulationsmodell (SKIN). Mit Blick auf dieses Modell wird diskutiert, wie sich durch die Verbindung von Empirie und Simulation die Robustheit der Simulationsergebnisse steigern lässt. Für Akteursanalysen zur Technologiediffusion müssen entsprechende Simulationsmodelle erst noch entwickelt werden. Hierfür werden erste konzeptionelle Überlegungen diskutiert.
Das Politische in der Technikfolgenabschätzung
Authors: Schröder Julia Valeska
Published: December 2019

Die normative Assoziierung von Technikfolgenabschätzung (TA) mit der Habermas‘schen deliberativen Demokratietheorie ist weit verbreitet; eine tiefere Auseinandersetzung mit alternativen Demokratieverständnissen bleibt allerdings weitestgehend aus. Daher regt dieser Beitrag eine grundsätzliche Debatte über die demokratietheoretische Einbettung der TA und ihr Verhältnis zum Politischen an. Aufbauend auf der u. a. in dieser Zeitschrift geführten Diskussion über die (Un)Möglichkeit normativer Neutralität in der TA wird eine weiterführende Kritik am Anspruch der TA auf normative Fundierung hergeleitet. Mit der pluralen und radikalen Demokratietheorie von Laclau und Mouffe werden gesellschaftstheoretische Annahmen der an deliberativer Demokratie orientierten TA hinterfragt, und es wird für eine Politisierung und Pluralisierung der TA argumentiert.
Vpliv porodnih praks na porodno izkušnjo v institucionalni oskrbi
Authors: Prosen Mirko
Published: December 2019

Uvod: Nosečnost in porod sta naravna dogodka, čeprav ju danes – ob upoštevanju dejstva, da živimo v »družbi tveganja« – opredeljujemo skozi prizmo patologije in potencialnih nevarnosti. Cilj raziskave je bil razumeti izkušnje in doživljanja žensk, povezana z rojevanjem v porodnišnicah skozi prevladujoče porodne prakse, ki so po prepričanju žensk pomembno krojile njihovo porodno izkušnjo.Metode: Uporabljena je bila sekundarna analiza kvalitativnih podatkov. Primarni podatki so bili zbrani leta 2014 v okviru raziskave Medikalizacija nosečnosti in poroda kot družbena konstrukcija z narativno metodo. V vzorec sekundarne analize je bilo vključenih 18 transkriptov intervjujev z ženskami, ki so rodile v porodnišnici. Analiza kvalitativnih podatkov je bila izvedena s pomočjo računalniškega programa NVivo, verzija 12.Rezultati: V analizi so bile identificirane tri teme: (1) pomembnost podpore zdravstvenega osebja in avtonomija odločanja; (2) sprememba fokusa v dojemanju carskega reza kot naravnega načina rojevanja; (3) rutinizacija in tehnifikacija porodnih praks.Diskusija in zaključek: Rojevanje tako danes kot nekoč usmerjajo negativne in pozitivne porodne izkušnje. Poznati je treba oboje. Za ženske je prva porodna izkušnja poučna in obenem določujoča, saj na njeni podlagi presojajo prihodnje porodne izkušnje. Podpora zdravstvenega osebja ter avtonomija odločanja sta ključni za pozitivno porodno izkušnjo. K temu bi lahko v prihodnje pomembno prispevale tudi spremembe nekaterih utečenih porodnih praks, ki bi morale hitreje slediti praksi, utemeljeni z dokazi.
Migratory Species Show Distinct Patterns in Corticosterone Levels during Spring and Autumn Migrations
Authors: Tsvey Arseny , Loshchagina Julia , Naidenko Sergey
Published: December 2019

Twice a year billions of birds migrate between breeding and wintering grounds. To facilitate migrations, birds develop migratory disposition, a complex suite of behavioral and physiological adjustments. Glucocorticoid hormone corticosterone is involved in the regulation of migratory behavior and physiology, however no consensus on its exact role in controlling avian migration exists. Using a large dataset on seven songbird species (long- and short-distance migrants) obtained during eleven consecutive migratory seasons on the Courish Spit of the Baltic Sea, we showed the general tendency of similar baseline corticosterone concentrations during both migrations, although stress-induced levels were generally much higher during spring. No difference between long- and short-distance migrants was found in either baseline or stress-induced levels, while there was substantial between-species variation, especially in baseline concentrations. The distinct patterns of corticosterone secretion during seasonal migrations even in ecologically similar species indicate that it is likely to be a species-specific trait. Thus, our study corroborates the inconsistency found in earlier studies and demonstrates how scientific understanding of the role of corticosterone during migration is still evolving. Rather low baseline corticosterone concentrations observed in this study emphasize that birds in both migratory seasons were not in a “stressed” state before capture.
Leukocyte profiles vary with breeding latitude and infection status in a seasonally sympatric songbird

Published: December 2019

Billions of animals migrate annually in pursuit of food, safety, and reproduction. Long-distance migration can be energetically expensive, which can force tradeoffs with investment in other physiological systems (e.g., suppressing immunity). Understanding the physiological impacts of migration is important to predict when and where such animals may be vulnerable to parasites and how changes to migration might affect infectious disease risks. To isolate relationships between migration and physiology from energetic tradeoffs and hormonal shifts associated with spring reproduction, we assessed differences in leukocyte profiles between seasonally sympatric resident and recently arrived fall migrant dark-eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis) in the Appalachian Mountains. When examining heterophil:lymphocyte (HL) ratios, which can elevate for long durations after even mild stressors, we found weak associations with migratory strategy (resident or migrant subspecies). In contrast, feather δ2H values showed that HL ratios were highest for juncos breeding at more northern latitudes, and this relationship was strongest for birds that arrived at the overwintering site infected with haemosporidian parasites (PlasmodiumandHaemoproteusspp.). These patterns were more pronounced and better indicated hematological responses to stressors when using multivariate analyses. Our findings suggest that short- and long-distance migration may be more energetically costly in the presence of infection and highlight how approximating breeding latitude and using multivariate analyses can help understand host physiology.
The topographic bias in gravimetric geoid determination revisited
Authors: Sjöberg Lars E.
Published: December 2019

The topographic potential bias at geoid level is the error of the analytically continued geopotential from or above the Earth’s surface to the geoid. We show that the topographic potential can be expressed as the sum of two Bouguer shell components, where the density distribution of one is spherical symmetric and the other is harmonic at any point along the normal to a sphere through the computation point. As a harmonic potential does not affect the bias, the resulting topographic bias is that of the first component, i.e. the spherical symmetric Bouguer shell. This implies that the so-called terrain potential is not likely to contribute significantly to the bias. We present three examples of the geoid bias for different topographic density distributions.
Spin-orbital exclusion principle and the periodic system
Authors: Vyatkin Viktor
Published: December 2019

Groups of electrons, radial with respect to the atomic nucleus and with the same value of the orbital quantum number and the same number on the subshell, are considered. A spin-orbital exclusion principle is established, regulating the spin value distribution on the subshells with the same value of the orbital number. According to this principle, all subshells are divided into positive and negative ones, depending on the direction of the spin of their first electron. It is found that, in the real sequence of the appearance of new subshells, a spin-orbital periodicity takes place, which develops in cycles consisting of two periods that are mirror-symmetric to each other in the direction of the spin of their electrons. Moreover, atomic number of any period is equal to the sum of the principal and orbital quantum numbers of its subshells, and this can serve as an explanation for the Madelung rule. It is demonstrated that Mendeleev’s chemical periodicity lags behind the spin-orbital periodicity by two elements and repeats its structure. From these positions, the absence of a pair in the first period of Mendeleev’s table and the pairing of all its other periods are explained. Based on the obtained results, an eight-period table of elements, the prototype of which being Janet’s left-step table, is compiled and briefly described.

This fast-growing area of research has emerged after seminal studies mainly by MacMillan, Yoon, and Stephenson groups were published in 2008 and 2009. This chapter focuses on the twentieth-century roots of photoredox catalysis with [Ru(bpy)3]2+, and the key properties of this species are briefly summarized.
Stray light autocorrelation for the measurement of ultrashort laser pulses
Authors: Rother Anne-Sophie , Kohns Peter , Ankerhold Georg
Published: December 2019

Ultrashort laser pulses in the femtosecond range are of growing interest in medicine and micro material processing for industrial applications. The most interesting parameter is the pulse duration, which can only be measured by optical autocorrelation methods incorporating an optically nonlinear medium. Established methods mostly use monocrystalline beta barium borate (BBO) in transmission, exhibiting a high nonlinear conversion efficiency. However, this material is brittle, expensive and sophisticated in adjustment due to the necessary non-collinear phase matching. Since fiber-based high energy femtosecond laser systems become more and more achievable, the conversion efficiency of the nonlinear medium should no longer be seen as the restricting factor. Therefore, this research work discusses the suitability of several nonlinear media with differing translucency. Quartz, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) and aluminum nitride (AlN) were compared in a standard autocorrelation setup and a novel versatile setup measuring frequency-doubled stray light. Best results were achieved with AlN, which appears to be a suitable and promising alternative material to BBO, reducing the expenses by two to three orders of magnitude.

Cannabis and glaucoma: A literature review
Authors: MacMillan Kathleen MacMillan , Keddy Amanda , Furlong James
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is characterized by the loss of retinal ganglion cells secondary to optic neuropathy; increased intraocular pressure (IOP) may or may not be present. Many treatment options focus on decreasing IOP measurements to attempt to prevent progression of glaucoma. Our literature review addressed a relatively common question; if cannabis is effective for treating elevated IOP in patients with glaucoma. Objective: To evaluate the current evidence for the use of cannabis for reducing IOP in glaucoma. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Database were searched along with references drawn from full text articles published before January 2018 for the best available evidence that met the inclusion criteria.Three authors independently evaluated and selected the articles that represented the best available evidence.The selected articles were chosen based on study methodology and the type of cannabis used for the treatment of glaucoma. Randomized Control Trials were preferred, although lacking. No studies directly compared cannabis to the current standard of care medications for lowering IOP. Results: Five randomized controlled trials were included as best available evidence although they used different routes of administration. All studies included compared cannabis to placebo. The studies evaluated showed a range of IOP lowering effects and side effects.Topical administration has shown conflicting results for the treatment of glaucoma.Conclusion:The many forms of cannabinoid administration have demonstrated variable levels of effectiveness. The variability of the studies indicates the need for more research. Specifically, larger sample sizes, and comparison of standardized cannabis to current standards of care instead of placebo are strongly encouraged.
Inhibition of vascular adventitial remodeling by netrin-1 in diabetic rats
Authors: Wang Hui-Fang , Yu Qing-Qing , Zheng Rui-Fang , Xu Ming
Published: December 2019

Cardiovascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with vascular remodeling in the arteries. Perivascular sympathetic neurons release an abundance of trophic factors to regulate vascular function via a paracrine signaling. Netrin-1, a diffusible protein that can be secreted outside the cell, is one of common signals of ‘conversation’ between nerve and vessel. The present study investigated whether netrin-1 is a novel modulator of sympathetic neurons paracrine signaling and played a critical role in vascular adventitial remodeling under T2DM. Vascular adventitial remodeling was observed in adventitial fibroblasts (AFs) responding to netrin-1 deficiency in the supernatant from primary rat superior cervical ganglia (SCG) neurons, shown as AFs proliferation, migration, and collagen deposition. Conditioned medium from the high glucose (HG)-treated SCG neurons contributed to AFs remodeling, which was effectively alleviated by exogenous netrin-1 supplementation. Further, it was found that uncoordinated-5-B (Unc5b) was mainly expressed in AFs among netrin-1 specific receptors. Treatment of netrin-1 inhibited H2O2 production derived from NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) through the UNC5b/CAMP/PKA signal pathway in AFs remodeling. In vivo, aorta adventitial remodeling was accompanied with the downregulation of netrin-1 in the perivascular sympathetic nerve in T2DM rats. Such abnormalities were restored by netrin-1 intervention, which was associated with the inhibition of NOX4 expression in the aorta adventitia. In conclusion, netrin-1 is a novel modulator of sympathetic neurons paracrine signaling to maintain AFs function. Vascular adventitial remodeling was aggravated by sympathetic neurons paracrine signaling under hyperglycemia, which was ameliorated by netrin-1 treatment through the UNC5b/CAMP/PKA/NOX4 pathway.
La conceptualización antropológica del indio en el Cusco (1942-1973)
Authors: Aguilar León César
Published: December 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es explicar las causas, fuentes y procesos de conceptualización antropológica sobre el indio —entendido como objeto de estudio— que se desarrollaron en Cusco, desde 1942, año de fundación institucional de la disciplina, hasta 1973, año de su primera gran crisis. En ese sentido, planteo que dichos procesos de conceptualización estuvieron condicionados por la manera como se configuraron las condiciones sociales y políticas de los antropólogos, en relación a la teoría antropológica que se leía por esos años y la situación institucional de la disciplina. Todo esto, frente a determinados contextos ideológicos —como los indigenismos— y sociopolíticos —como las revueltas sociales.

Published: December 2019

Se revisa el estado taxonómico de Gastrotheca peruana usando métodos filogenéticos en base a secuencias de 16S rRNA. Los árboles de máxima verosimilitud y Bayesiano mostraron que las variantes génicas de G. peruana forman dos clados que no son hermanos. Uno de estos clados se distribuye en el norte de Perú, incluyendo un individuo procedente de la localidad típica de G. peruana dissimilis. El segundo clado está restringido al centro de Perú y contiene individuos de las localidades tipo de dos formas nominales, G. p. peruana y G. p. junensis, y es hermano de G. aratia. De esta forma, reconocemos dos especies dentro de lo que actualmente se conoce como G. peruana. Restringimos Gastrotheca peruana a las poblaciones del centro de Perú (departamentos de Ancash, Lima, Pasco y Junín) y asignamos Gastrotheca dissimilis a las poblaciones de los departamentos de La Libertad y Cajamarca.

Published: December 2019

Ephemeroptera es un orden de insectos cuyas etapas inmaduras cumplen un importante papel ecológico en los ecosistemas acuáticos. Sin embargo, el conocimiento de su diversidad en áreas tropicales aún es escaso. Específicamente, en el Perú se han reportado 64 especies pertenecientes a 35 géneros y ocho familias. En este estudio se presenta una clave taxonómica para la determinación de géneros de ninfas de Ephemeroptera de la vertiente suroriental de los Andes del Perú. Las ninfas revisadas fueron recolectadas en las quebradas de los departamentos de Cusco y Madre de Dios, dentro de un gradiente altitudinal de 180 – 4411 m, en los años 2012, 2013, 2015 y 2017. Se utilizaron tres metodologías de muestreo: recolección manual, red Surber y colonización de paquetes de hojas. Se reconocieron 48 géneros de ocho familias en 36 quebradas dentro de este gradiente. Seis géneros son nuevos registros para el Perú: Prebaetodes, Zelusia, Meridialaris, Tricorythopsis, Homoeoneuria y Hubbardipes.

Balys Sruoga – the first translator of Anna Akhmatova’s poetry
Authors: Ivinskaja Aliona Sofija
Published: December 2019

The article considers both the history of the creation of translations of the writer Balis Sruoga, who translated poems by Anna Akhmatova, and the translations themselves. Three verses translated by Sruoga were intended for the creative evening of the Lithuanian author in Moscow and are the first transcriptions of the Russian poet into Lithuanian. Akhmatova’s poems were part of the creative interests of the Lithuanian translator as the work of a representative of Russian modernism, not so much as a post-Symbolic plan, but rather a symbolic one. For the first time, taking into account the fact that Sruoga relied on the verbal texts of Akhmatova and their musical adaptation’s by the composer Sergei Prokofiev when translating, the analysis of the equirhythmic correspondence of the translations to the original is proposed.
Microbiological and antibacterial resistance profile in canine otitis externa – a comparative analysis
Authors: Petrov V. , Zhelev G. , Marutsov P. , Koev K. , Georgieva S. , Toneva I. , Urumova V.
Published: December 2019

The aim of the present study was to compare the prevalence of microbial agents involved in canine otitis externa and their sensitivity to antibacterial drugs in two periods: 2007–2011 and 2013–2017. For 2013–2017, coagulase-positive staphylococci were the dominating bacterial species (186 isolates), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (82 strains). The rate of isolated yeasts (mainly Malassezia pachydermatis) was substantially high (152 isolates). Compared to the earlier period (2007–2011) a tendency to more frequent occurrence of co-infections was noted – 61.7% and more than 80% of co-infections involved yeasts. Antibacterial resistance patterns showed a clear trend to increased resistance of coagulase-positive staphylococci and β-haemolytic streptococci to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (42% and 50% respectively) and gentamicin (29%, 40%). Increased resistance of P. aeruginosa was established to gentamicin (16%) and amikacin (18%). The prevalence of pseudomonads resistant to enrofloxacin was lower (27%).

Published: December 2019

Clostridium (Clostridioides) difficile is a Gram-positive anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium and the main cause of nosocomial diarrhoea in humans. In recent years, the transmission of C. difficile from environmental reservoirs (e.g. food) to humans has become a major focus of research. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and corresponding toxin genes of C. difficile in faecal samples and meat of quails. Thirty samples of packed quail meat in Mashhad, Iran and 500 faecal samples (pooled to n = 5) were collected on quail farms in the Northeastern Khorasan region for further investigation. Of 100 pooled quail faecal samples 10% showed cultural growth of C. difficile. In meat samples two out of 30 specimens (7%) showed cultural growth. In six of ten isolates from faecal samples toxin genes (tcdB and tcdA) were present, while four isolates harboured no toxin genes. However, in meat isolates no toxin genes were present. Mutations in the tcdC gene were not detected, indicating that ‘hypervirulent’ strains such as RT027 and RT078 were not present. The data suggest that quail and quail products might hold a potential for the spread of C. difficile.

The 3D8 single-chain variable fragment (scFv) is a mini-antibody sequence with independent nuclease activity that shows antiviral effects against all types of viruses in chickens and mice. In this study, chickens were treated daily with an oral dose of 109 CFU Lactobacillus paracasei (L. paracasei) expressing either a secreted or anchored 3D8 scFv for three weeks. After L. paracasei administration, the chickens were challenged with avian influenza virus (AIV). From each experimental group, three chickens were directly infected with 100 µL of 107.5 EID50/mL H9N2 AIV and seven chickens were indirectly challenged through contact transmission. oropharyngeal and cloacal swab samples were collected at 3, 5, 7, and 9 days post-inoculation (dpi) from AIV-challenged chickens, AIV Shedding titres were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Contact transmission in the chickens that were fed 3D8 scFv-secreting L. paracasei showed a significant reduction in viral shedding when compared with other groups. These results suggest that L. paracasei secreting 3D8 provides a basis for the development of ingestible antiviral probiotics with activity against AIV.

Manasszé imája egy jól szerkesztett könyörgés. Mondanivalójának megértését szerkezete is segíti. A szerkezet nem mutat olyan sajátosságokat, amik alapján arra lehetne következtetni, hogy a mű fent elemzett szövege nem az eredeti lenne.

A korai zsidóság egyik kedvelt irodalmi eszköze továbbá, hogy előszeretettel építi írásműveit már létező tekintélyi szövegek kínálta panelekből. Ez egyes iratoknál egész extrém mértékű lehet,15 más esetekben csekély. Az ilyen referenciaszövegek felhasználásával egy adott mű szerzője nyilvánvalóvá teszi, mely szellemi hagyományok fontosak számára, másfelől írása tekintélyét is növeli. Manasszé imájának szerzője ezeket az intertexteket az Ószövetség minden részéből válogatja, leggyakrabban azonban a Zsoltárokra hivatkozik, ami minden bizonnyal a mű költői formájából következik.
The Clinical Impact of Cancer Stem Cells
Authors: Lathia Justin , Liu Huiping , Matei Daniela
Published: December 2019

Patients with cancer can go though many stages in their disease, including diagnosis, recurrence, metastasis, and treatment failure. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subgroup of cells within tumors that may explain the mechanism by which tumors recur and progress. CSCs can both self-renew and produce progenitor cells of more differentiated cancer cells as well as heterogeneously demonstrate resistance and the abilities to migrate and metastasize. These “stemness” characteristics are often the result of dysregulation of one or more pathways, which can be detected by various biomarkers. Although there has been considerable laboratory research conducted on CSCs, its relevance to the practicing oncologist may seem questionable. We sought to determine the clinical impact of CSCs on patients. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify analyses containing survival information based on the expression of known CSC biomarkers in any cancer. Overall, 234 survival analyses were identified, of which 82% reported that high expression of CSC biomarker(s) resulted in poor overall survival and/or disease-free survival compared with low or no expression of the biomarker. Elevated stemness biomarker levels were also associated with decreased tumor differentiation, altered TNM stage, and increased metastasis. This analysis would suggest that CSCs have a clinical impact on patients and that practicing oncologists need to start considering incorporating CSC-targeting therapies into their patients’ treatment regimens.

20. yüzyılın başlarındaki Azerbaycan’ın tarihi liderlerinden olan Mehmet Emin Resulzade (1884-1955), Türkiye’de en çok tanınan, üzerinde durulan ve eserleri neşredilen isimlerden biridir.Resulzade’nin külliyatının kahir ekseriyeti, özellikle Bakü Devlet Üniversitesi’nin yakın zamanda vefat eden profesörü Şirmemmed Hüseynov’un da gayretleriyle artık yayınlanmış bulunmaktadır. Bununla beraber, Resulzade’nin siyasi biyografisini tüm detaylarıyla bütüncül bir yaklaşımla ortaya koyma noktasında ciddi bir boşluk hissedilmektedir. Azerbaycan’ın son dönem tarihinin önemli araştırmacılarından biri olan Aydın Balayev’in Bakü’de Rusça yayımladığı Mamed Emin Rasulzade: Politiçeskiy Portret [Mehmet Emin Resulzade’nin Siyasi Portresi] isimli kitabının bu boşluğu dolduracak eserlerin en başında geldiği söylenebilir, zira burada Resulzade’nin siyasi görüşlerinin ve aktivitelerinin bütüncül ve ayrıntılı bir dökümü verilmektedir

Everyday adaptability in Ghanaian hospital laboratories
Authors: Lichtenstein Ian
Published: December 2019

Developed countries that enact laboratory standards and universal health policies have the luxury of numerous resources and technological advances to ensure an efficient diagnosis. In rural and urban Ghana, resource availability fluctuates depending on allocated funds, location, and tools; yet, technicians in these hospital laboratories successfully treat their patients by modifying their care and protocols to fit the environment in which they work. This essay offers a porthole into the day-to-day lives of lab staff in urban and rural hospitals in the Ashanti region of Ghana. It describes the tools and procedures used by technicians to work effectively with limited resources. By identifying these daily operations, we can better appreciate the work of clinicians and technicians in developing countries and the diligence that is required to provide adequate care to their patients.
Dr. Ram’s triage
Authors: McDowell Andrew
Published: December 2019

Triage is a process of categorizing potential health and guiding care. It is based on the idea that all bodies are equal while potential vitality is not. I examine the triage processes used by Indian physicians as they collaborated with global health researchers to identify patients for a free, cutting-edge tuberculosis test. As I argue, triage forms and reforms social difference within global health despite its aspirations of standardization and experimentality. Problematizing triage as part of global health’s ordinary affect of affordability reveals local biologies, class biopolitics, and clinical speculation in the field. I conclude by considering new avenues of ethnographic inquiry that are opened by attending to the practiced and depoliticized biopolitics that occurs within clinics as everyday, nonreflexive decisions about how to organize resources and speculate on vitalities.
The Role and Application of Picture Books in Pre-school Practice
Authors: Novović Tatjana , Popović Dušanka
Published: December 2019

Picture books occupy an important place in the life of a child both in family and in school. As a unique combination of illustration and text in a pedagogical mode, picture books teach, incite creative imagination and enrich the cognitive and socio-emotional world of a child. The goal of our research is increase understanding the place and the role of genre diverse picture books in Montenegrin pre-schools in the current context. Pre-school teachers noted key challenges in the use of picture books in pre-school practice in general and singled out proposals for more efficient application. In this paper, we deal with parents’ participation in mediating picture books` content and values to pre-schoolers. We took our research sample from the population of teachers in pre-schools of central, northern and southern region of Montenegro. Our research included 209 pre-school teachers from five kindergartens and 93 respondents from the three institutions, which we interviewed during the seminars. We combined elements of both quantitative and qualitative surveying and interviewing.

Our research indicates a significant and continued use of genre-diverse picture books, but also an absence of new titles, technical support in the selection of high-quality books, domestic authors and vague criteria in the selection of books, as well as a lack of parental involvement in the selection of books.
Prophets without Honor: Peripheral Actors in Kenyan Journalism
Authors: Wahutu J. Siguru
Published: December 2019

In sub-Sahara Africa, periphery contributors exist in a liminal space. They are at once valorized and treated with suspicion by the local journalism and political fields. Valorization occurs when they engage with, and challenge, journalism from the global north, and the opposite occurs when they do the same for the local fields. Focusing on the former and not the latter is a disservice to the complicated and nuanced relationship these actors have with the journalism field and perpetuates a mythologized and romanticized narrative about the redemptive qualities of online platforms.
THE LEGAL BACKGROUND FOR THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE'S EXPANSION TOWARDS THE BALKANS (late XVIII – second half of the XIX centuries)
Authors: Ivanov O.
Published: December 2019

The article is aimed to define the preconditions for the legal background for the Russia's expansion towards the Balkans (late XVIII – second half of the XIX centuries) and its peculiarities listed in the interstate treaties and the Russian Empire's legal system. To achieve the defined goal and the set objectives of this paper various methods of the scientific research have been used. First of all, owing to the dialectic method the dynamic of the changes in the directions of the Russian expansion towards the Balkans has been defined. The content s of various legal norms relating to the subject of our research has been expertised by means of the hermeneutical method. The historical legal method is the main one used to conduct the research. It has been used for the analysis of the regulatory documents together with the social and political circumstances causing their adoption and future use. The multidisciplinary method enables d the author to analyse a great number of the historical sources concerning the way how Russian legal proscriptions influenced the Balkan population. As a result, it is stated that basic tendencies of Russian Empire's foreign policy implementation date back to the legal background created by Peter the Great. These tendencies include artificial guardianship towards "one-minded Christian peoples", widely spread use of conquered nations for the sake of achieving strategic goals and the pronounced assimilatory direction of the national policy. Those issues were implemented in the Russian-Turkish treaties signed in the XVIII– XIX centuries. There were listed artificial guaranties for of the Balkan nations' security based mainly on the mercantile goals. The Tsar's manifests and other regulatory documents defining peculiarities of the policy towards certain Balkan nations were arranged in a declarative manner. The author concludes that the Russian Empire used all possible legal and organizational tools to spread its expansion all over the Balkans.
SOME PROBLEMATIC ISSUES OF LEGISLATIVE AND APPLIED IMPROVEMENT OF THE INITIAL STAGE OF PRE-TRIAL INVESTIGATION
Authors: Yukhno A.
Published: December 2019

The author of the article conducts a comparative analysis of the previous and existing criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine regarding the procedural institution of starting criminal proceedings. Certain gaps and inconsistencies in the current criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine on these issues which cause justifiable complaints from all participants in the criminal proceedings are identified. The author analyses genesis, individual scientific points of view and the state of discussion among scientists and practitioners in this direction, as a result of which it is established that the problematic issues raised in the article are not resolved theoretically and in an applied aspect, including the previous and in the current criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine. In the context of the issue under consideration, the legislation of foreign countries is examined including post-Soviet states, Anglo-American and Roman-German legal families. As a result, many Ukrainian scientists have concluded that the foreign experience cannot be applied in national legislation without taking into account the national peculiarities of the legal system of Ukraine, the historical traditions of state construction, the level of professionalism and legal awareness of those who apply legislation, the mentality of the population and

other factors. Moreover, the author pays paid attention to the study of discussion questions on the grounds and reasons for resolving the procedural problem of issuing a resolution when instituting criminal proceedings and when making statements and reports on committed criminal offenses in to the single register of pre-trial investigations, as well as refusing to register on these issues. The author makes some suggestions for improving the existing criminal procedural legislation and the regulatory framework in the context of the issues discussed.
The Importance of Distinguishing Pseudoresonances and Outcrop Resonances in Downhole Array Data
Authors: Tao Yumeng , Rathje Ellen
Published: December 2019

This short note examines the downgoing wave effect and the appearance of pseudoresonances in downhole array data. It is demonstrated that pseudoresonances, distinct from the resonances associated with outcrop conditions, occur for sites with a shallow velocity contrast (VC) or with little to no VC. An approach is outlined to distinguish pseudoresonances from outcrop resonances using the theoretical 1D transfer functions for within and outcrop boundary conditions, as well as the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio. This approach is applied to hypothetical shear-wave velocity profiles, as well as three downhole array sites. We establish the importance of distinguishing pseudoresonances from outcrop resonances when using downhole array data to evaluate the accuracy of the 1D site response. For the example downhole array sites shown, the pseudoresonances are not captured well by 1D analysis, whereas the outcrop resonances are captured well. We propose that when evaluating the accuracy of 1D site-response analysis using downhole array data, the comparisons of the empirical and theoretical responses only consider the frequency range associated with outcrop resonances.
