Interaction of bacterial extracellular microvesicles with eukaryotic cells.
Authors: Shlykova D. S. , Pisarev V. M. , Gaponov A. M. , Tutelyan A. V.
Published: January 2021

Bacterial extracellular microvesicles (BMV) are formed by nonpathogenic, pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria. BMV are spherical bilayer-membrane organelles containing different cargoes: lipopolysaccharides, pathogen associated molecular patterns (PUMP), DNA, RNA, signal molecules, proteins, antibiotic resistance factors, virulence factors, toxins providing various immune response options and conducive to the survival and pathogen dissemination in the human body. BMVs secretion play an important role in the ability of microorganisms to cause various diseases. BMV are involved in biofilms formation, help bacteria to obtain nutrition in a nutrient-poor conditions, to evade the host's immune response, provide communication and surviving in a stressful environment during infection inside the host. The heterogeneity of the biogenesis mechanisms causes differences in the BMV and their characteristics including virulence rate. BMVs host cells entering is mediated by several mechanisms and helps to activate innate and adaptive immune reactions. This review focuses on interaction study of BMV with various eukaryotic cells types including neutrophils, dendritic cells, macrophages, epithelial, endothelial cells. This interaction depends on bacteria species, type of target cell and number of vesicles and can lead to different responses: non-immunogenic, pro-inflammatory, cytotoxic. Subcellular and molecular mechanisms related to the involvement of extracellular microvesicles in host's immune response modulation are presented. Stimulation of immune response is provided by increased secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. In some cases BMV use mechanisms to evade immune surveillance: anti-inflammatory cytokines secretion, alterations of phagocytosis and chemotaxis of macrophages, increasing the proteolytic cleavage of CD14 on the macrophage surface, alterations of antigen-presenting function of dendritic cells, T-cell proliferation suppression, reducing the pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion, evasion of host-immune cells direct interactions, destruction of neutrophilic traps. These features allow bacterial cells to survive in the human body, increase their invasive potential, and reduce the excessive inflammatory reactions leading to death of the pathogen itself and life-threatening damage of tissues and organs of the host. Further studies of these mechanisms will improve existing therapeutic approaches to the infectious diseases treatment.

Authors: Levandowski Mateus Luz , Stahnke Douglas Nunes , Munhoz Tiago N. , Hohendorff Jean Von , Salvador-Silva Roberta
Published: January 2021

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar as taxas de notificações de violência infanto-juvenil no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, de 2015 a 2020 e as alterações em suas tendências por períodos devido à pandemia do novo coronavírus (COVID-19). É um estudo ecológico de séries temporais com dados secundários obtidos pelo Portal Bi Saúde no painel de Violência Interpessoal/Suicídio. Foram coletadas as notificações de violência em indivíduos de 0 a 19 anos, nos meses de março e abril de cada ano, estratificadas por sexo, faixa etária, raça/cor e tipo de violência. Utilizou-se a regressão de Prais-Winsten para a análise de tendência temporal. Das 7.718 notificações analisadas, observou-se uma queda de 54% no ano de 2020 comparado com o mesmo período em 2019. A análise de tendência até 2019 indicou aumento nas taxas de notificações (2,04, IC95%: 1,01; 3,07, p = 0,002), porém, com a inclusão do ano de 2020 à série temporal, o direcionamento na tendência das taxas de notificações inverteu-se para negativo, perdendo a significância estatística (-0,39, IC95%: -1,16; 2,14, p = 0,632). Conclui-se que o distanciamento social devido à pandemia reduziu as taxas de notificações de violência contra crianças e adolescentes devido à subnotificação, exigindo estratégias que melhorem a identificação dos casos suspeitos de violência durante a pandemia. Ressalta-se a necessidade de planejamento e ações intersetoriais (como saúde, proteção social, justiça e segurança pública) rápidas e específicas com o objetivo da garantia dos direitos das crianças e dos adolescentes.

Published: January 2021

Abstract Obesity increases the risk of non-transmissible chronic illnesses decreasing the quality of life and life expectancy. This investigation aims to define a psychological profile for the treatment of the target population evaluating the levels of self-efficacy perceived, difficulty in emotional regulation and stress. Eighty-six adults participated, including 63 women and 23 men who pertained to OBEMOB in Temuco. The results indicate that the level of stress, trust in problem solving skills, as well as ability to solve problems and unexpected situations differs according to the type of obesity (p<0.05). In addition, there is a negative relation between general self-efficacy and difficulty of emotional regulation (rho=-0.419) while stress and BMI demonstrate a positive relation (rho=0,380).
A Condensation Effort: Pina, Lacan, and a Matter of Writing
Authors: Vieira Marcus André , De Felice Thereza
Published: January 2021

Abstract The present article intends to articulate the notion of letter as littoral, as forged by Jacques Lacan in his textLituraterre, with the German artist and coreographer Pina Bausch’s dances and plays. We go from the signifier to the letter in Lacan's teachings and proceed with an analysis of the creative process of Pina Bausch's works, aiming to that which seems to present itself as having no sense, as something out of language’s reach; out of what one can say and tell within a field of multiple meanings. Thus, we intend to sew those psychoanalytic concepts to the fragments appearing in Bausch’s productions in order to achieve a further grasping and understanding of the concept of letter in Lacan.

Authors: Hazer-Rau Dilana
Published: January 2021

Ambient-assisted technologies offer valuable support for persons with special needs, such as older, ill or disabled persons. Relevant support includes assisting in daily life activities, monitoring health conditions, analyzing behavior or affective states and communicating information with caregivers. From a healthcare perspective, these developments are highly valuable and offer new possibilities in the areas of early prediction of diseases and prevention of associated risks. Smart healthcare applications in this context focus on daily activity recognition to provide assistive services for an independent life; on movement tracking and fall detection to prevent accidents and enable interventions; and on physiological health monitoring to assess the vital signals of ill patients and persons at risk. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview on recent activities and advances related to smart healthcare technologies in the context of ambient-assisted living. The paper presents recent studies related to physiological measurements and describes the main requirements and tools needed to realize such systems, including system design, smart sensors, process automation and trust and acceptance aspects. Finally, the paper discusses associated energy challenges and limitations for integrating smart healthcare systems in ambient-assisted environments.

Published: January 2021

This article presents the theoretical, scientific, and methodological foundations for the design and implementation of an innovative technological and clinical platform that combined sound, music, and vibrotactile mediation used in a therapeutic setting by adolescents suffering from anorexia nervosa. In 2019, we carried out a pilot experiment with a group of 8 adolescent patients hospitalized in the Eating Disorders Unit of the Department of Adolescent and Young Adult Psychiatry of the Institut Mutualiste Montsouris in Paris. Within this clinical framework, we aimed to create conditions suitable for patients to reinvest in their “disaffected” bodily zones and internal experiences through reflecting on the sensations, emotions, and ideas generated by the sensory experiences created when sound and musical stimuli are transmitted through vibrations. The findings demonstrate the ways in which adolescent patients made use of the platform’s audiovibrotactile mediating objects to express a personal associative process through speech during their exchanges with clinical psychologists.

Parameters of neonate serum acid-base state and gas composition in multifetal pregnancy
Authors: Kalashnikov S. A.
Published: January 2021

Aim: to study ABS parameters, blood gas composition and complete blood count in newborns upon multiple pregnancy depending on the order of twin birth, neonate weight, and accompanying chronic hypoxia. Materials and Methods. Laboratory parameters assessed in the twin-collected venous blood were analyzed: hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Ht) level, count of red blood cells (RBC), platelets (PLT) and white blood cells (WBC), base excess (BЕ), partial pressure of oxygen (рО2) and carbon dioxide (рСО2), оxygen saturation (sО2), standard and total carbon dioxide level (НСО–3, tСО2). Results. The second vs. first twin after vaginal delivery had decreased level of рН (7.30 ± 0.08 and 7.35 ± 0.09; р = 0.03, respectively), рО2 (18.2 ± 13.1 and 27.1 ± 10.7 mm Hg; р = 0.03), sО2 (29.7 ± 22.7 and 41.8 ± 20.3 %; р < 0.001). Metabolic acidosis exacerbated in case of birth interval extending more than 30 minutes. The hypotrophic vs. normotrophic neonates had a decreased WBC (14.2 ±5.9 vs. 15.9 ± 6.5×109/L; р = 0.02), рО2 (19.3 ± 13.6 vs. 22.6 ± 10.6 mm Hg; р = 0.03), sО2 (27.9 ± 19.5 vs. 33.8 ± 20.6 %; р = 0.04). PH and PLT level were lower in newborns with intraventricular hemorrhages (7.29 ± 0.07 and 243.1 ± 75.4×109/L), whereas ВЕ magnitude was higher (–4.9 ± 5.2 mmol/L) than in those lacking intraventricular hemorrhages (7.34 ± 0.06; р = 0.03; 265.4 ±71.6×109/L; р < 0.001; –3.2 ± 4.2 mmol/L; р = 0.02, respectively). Conclusion. During the vaginal delivery, a birth interval should not exceed 30 minutes. In case of diagnosing fetal growth retardation and hypoxia during pregnancy, caesarean section is an optimal option.

Relevance.Nowadays, there is a worldwide practice of training women for piloting combat aircraft. An important problem arises of studying the tolerability of aerobatic overload by the female body, including during various periods of the ovarian-menstrual cycle.
The main aim of the studyis to assess the tolerance of prolonged static tension of the muscles of the lower extremities and the abdominal press, as an equivalent to the tolerance of overload, by women in various phases of ovarian-menstrual cycle.
Methods.The static tension of the muscles of the legs and abdominal muscles is modeled using a five-step statergometric test. Tolerance is evaluated by the dynamics of indicators of computer stabilization before and after the test. The study involves 15 healthy women aged 21-23 years. Registration of estimated indicators is carried out in different phases of the ovarian-menstrual cycle.
Results.It is established that the postmenstrual phase of ovarian-menstrual cycle is characterized by good tolerance to long-term static tension of the muscles of the legs and abdominal muscles. Load tolerance decreases in the premenstrual phase.
Conclusion.The obtained data suggest that the tolerance of aerobatic overload in women may decrease in the premenstrual phase compared with the postmenstrual phase.

İletişimde dijitalleşmenin başlamasıyla birlikte haberin üretim, dağıtım ve tüketim şekilleri de köklü bir değişime uğramıştır. Geleneksel medya günden güne güç kaybederken, internet ve sosyal medyayı kapsayacak şekilde bir medya adlandırması olan “yeni medya”, tüketicinin, haberin üreticisi ve aynı zamanda dağıtıcısı durumuna gelmesine neden olmuştur. Üretim süreçlerindeki profesyonel ve klasik anlayışın sarsılması haber güvenilirliğinde önemli sorunları ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu sorunların başında kontrol mekanizmalarının işlememesi nedeniyle yanlış bilgi sahte ya da yalan haber gelmektedir. Yeni medyada üretilen içerikler doğrudan tüketiciye ulaşmakta, doğruluğu kontrol edilemeyen bu bilgi ve haberler, gerçeğin “bükülmesine” neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, üniversite öğrencilerinin yeni medyayı hangi amaçlarla kullandıkları, yanlış bilgiye karşı tutum geliştirip geliştirmedikleri, yanlış bilgi ya da sahte/yalan haberlerin üretimi, dolaşımı ve tüketimiyle ilgili görüş ve davranışlarının neler olduğu belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Yapılan saha araştırması sonunda, üniversite öğrencilerinin geleneksel medyayı taraflı bulduğu, haberleri sosyal medya ve internet sitelerinden tükettiği, sosyal medyada haber paylaşımından kaçınırken, kapalı mesajlaşma uygulamalarına daha fazla ilgi gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. En fazla siyaset ve güvenlik haberlerinden şüphe duyulurken sahte haberlere inanma sebepleri konusunda “araştırma yapmaktan kaçınma” ve “siyasi kutuplaşma” gösterilmektedir.

The objective of this paper was to identify the management practices performed by business directly related to tourism activity, within the scope of intra and intersectoral action of the links in the tourism supply chain. The studied sectors were Hospitality, Food & Beverages, Transportation, Travel Agencies and Attractions. Methodologically, the study was quantitative in nature, with a descriptive approach. The data were collected through a structured survey, applied to 85 managers of companies in the tourism sector in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais [Brazil]. It was observed that the Food & Beverage sector is the one that most needs innovation to face the lower longevity of the companies. Managers who choose to enter the Attraction, Food & Beverage and Travel Agencies sector will have to manage a greater diversity of products, which increases the complexity of their management. The Attractions sector proved the most structured sector when dealing with demand forecasting and quality management, while the food sector failed in collecting customer feedback and demand forecasting. Transportation travel agencies and transport companies have higher average remuneration than other sectors. Thus, this paper contributes by integrating a, so far, sparse literature and presenting variables that can be followed by managers of tourism businesses and public policies to monitor the performance of the sub-sectors.

We draw upon the proposition that there is a paradox in the hospitality offered by hotels, since, when observing the precariousness of work in the sector, it is noticed that workers do not benefit from the same hospitality recommended in their service provision. This essay aims to discuss decent work as an ethos of organizational hospitality, considering the working conditions in the hotel industry. This proposal is relevant since the studies on decent work and tourism are not yet in evidence in Brazil, especially in its connections with organizational hospitality. From the dialogical method, the considered bibliography demonstrates developments about an ethical questioning of working conditions in hotels and a theoretical-bibliographic problematization about the characteristics of decent work as beacons of organizational hospitality.

Optimization of the Exhibition Building Form Based on the Solar Energy Absorption
Authors: Moosavi Rouhollah , Golabi Mohsen
Published: January 2021

In this paper, the effect of the form and the shape of the exhibition on the performance of the absorption of solar energy in both cold & mountainous and hot & dry climates has been investigated. The form as the most prominent design feature in buildings has a significant impact on energy efficiency and can be expressed in different ways in a building. In order to evaluate the energy performance of various geometries as an exhibition, the absorption of solar energy in several geometries with different shapes, such as: hexagonal / pyramid / prism / incomplete prism / rectangular cube / cube / hemisphere / cylinder / cylinder combination and the rectangle cube combination, have been numerically simulated. For all geometries, the total area and other simulation conditions are assumed to be the same. The results show that in both types of climate, the most absorbed solar energy is obtained for pyramidal geometry and the least absorption is obtained by hemispherical geometry. The hemisphere form in the hot and dry climate has the best form-to-type ratio in order to provide thermal comfort and reduce energy consumption during the exhibition. In the cold and mountainous climate, pyramidal geometry has the highest energy absorption and is the best option among all investigated geometries. The absorption of solar energy in hemispherical geometry for hot & dry and cold & mountain climate is 66% and 54% compared to pyramidal, respectively.

Authors want fast publication times, high visibility and publications in high-impact journals. Readers want freely accessible, high-quality articles. Peer reviewers want recognition for the work they perform to ensure the quality of the published articles. However, authors, peer reviewers, and readers are three different roles played by the same group of individuals, the users of the scholarly publishing system—and this system could work based on a collaborative publishing principle where “nobody pays, and nobody gets paid”.

Authors: Kuna-Marszałek Anetta
Published: January 2021

The paper aims to present an overview of theoretical and empirical studies dedicated to “dirty” industries that migrate to pollution havens. It consists of three parts. The first one discusses the major determinants that trigger the migration of dirty industries. Next, attention is paid to the results of studies which reject the hypothesis about the existence of pollution havens. Part three addresses the ideas and concepts that validate this hypothesis and confirm that dirty industries move to countries with a more relaxed environmental regulatory regime. The paper finishes with a summary section presenting the main conclusions from the analysis.

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act requires state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies to work closely with businesses to create employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The workplace climate may determine employers' willingness to hire and retain persons with disabilities. Rehabilitation researchers are conducting research to validate assessment tools to help companies assess factors that affect their disability inclusion climate. The purpose of this study was to examine the factorial validity of the Workplace Culture and Disability Inclusion Questionnaire (WCDIQ), developed to assess the disability inclusion climate in a workplace and to evaluate organizational factors that contribute to disability employment and inclusive practices. A sample of 284 human resources managers and professionals who made hiring decisions participated in the study. Exploratory factor analysis indicated a four-factor solution: (a) disability inclusion policies and procedures, (b) disability inclusion efforts and strategies, (c) disability inclusion preparedness, and (d) health and illness management policies and procedures. All four factors had strong internal consistency reliability and correlated with disability employment rates. The results of this study provide initial support for the reliability and validity of the WCDIQ for use by employers to evaluate their disability employment and inclusion efforts, and identify areas that need improvement. With further refinement, the WCDIQ can be used to guide the development of evidence-based disability employment and inclusion interventions to promote employment opportunity for people with disabilities.

Published: January 2021

Background

Veterans report relatively high rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) due to high trauma exposure. Alcohol use disorder (AUD), which is more prevalent among veterans, is a risk factor for IPV use and recidivism following IPV intervention. Using data from a prior randomized control trial of a trauma-informed IPV intervention, we examined the moderating effect of AUD on treatment outcomes among veterans.

Methods

Participants were 61 male veterans (M age = 37.18, SD = 13.23; 82% White; 18% met criteria for AUD) who participated in the Strength at Home (SAH) IPV intervention. Generalized mixed modelling was used to examine the effects of AUD and treatment attendance on posttreatment reductions in IPV.

Results

A significant three-way interaction between time, AUD, and session attendance was observed with respect to reductions in psychological IPV. Specifically, psychological IPV decreased significantly over time, but to a lesser extent among individuals with AUD, regardless of treatment attendance.

Discussion

Results indicate that participants with AUD receive less benefit from treatment with regard to coercive and controlling abusive behaviors. Findings speak to the need for adapting IPV intervention in order to address problematic alcohol use and related externalizing psychopathology.

Data mining is an activity to extract the knowledge from large amounts of data as very important information. The type of data in the era of 4.0 is data in the form of text, which is very much derived from social media. Recently, text becomes very important in some applications, such as the processing and the conclusion of a person's review and analysis of political opinion which is very sensitive in almost all countries, including Indonesia. Online text data that circulating on social media has several shortcomings that could potentially hinder the analysis process. One of the drawbacks is the people can post their own content freely, so the quality of their opinions cannot be guaranteed such as spam and irrelevant opinions. The other drawback is the basic truth of the online text data is not always available. Basic truth is more like a particular opinion, indicating whether the opinion is positive, negative and neutral. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to improve the forecasting accuracy of online text data analysis from social media. The method used os Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with Viterbi Algorithm that applied to extract the dataset sentiment at the 2015 elections in Surabaya from the popular site micro blogging called Twitter. The result of the study is Viterbi algorithm has predicted the best route with the candidate Tri Rismaharini gained a prediction of neutral sentiments, whereas ratio candidates gained sentiment negative predictions as well. The proposed Model is accurate to predict candidate features. It also helps political parties to introduce candidates based on reviews so that they can increase candidate performance or they can manage broad publicity to promote candidates.
