Authors: Marynenko T. , Halenova T. , Savchuk O.
Published: August 2021

Today, there is a growing worldwide trend of coronary heart disease, which is the most common cause of death among the working population. Along with the development of effective drugs, no less acute is the question of improving the means of diagnosing coronary heart disease, as well as means of monitoring the course of the disease and the effectiveness of its treatment. Given that angina is often the first clinical manifestation of coronary heart disease, it is important to study and identify early markers of this pathological condition. A promising direction in this context may be the study of the dynamics of changes in the peptide profile in the bloodstream of patients with various forms of angina and myocardial infarction, the second most important manifestation of coronary heart disease. The results showed that myocardial infarction, as well as various forms of angina, is accompanied by the accumulation in the bloodstream of patients of proteins and peptides. Chromatographic separation of peptide fractions obtained from the serum of patients of different experimental groups was performed. It was found that in the bloodstream of patients with myocardial infarction and various forms of angina, there were not only quantitative changes in the peptide pool, but also the accumulation of peptides that are atypical for the physiological state of the organism. On the one hand, such peptides may have effector properties and be involved in inhibiting the
progression of the pathological condition and contributed to the normalization of homeostasis. On the other hand, the circulation of such peptides in the bloodstream may pose a potential threat of triggering non-specific mechanisms aimed at intensifying the pathological process. Further research is needed to confirm one of this hypothesis.

Published: August 2021

Realistic dynamic rupture modeling validated by observed earthquakes is necessary for estimating parameters that are poorly resolved by seismic source inversion, such as stress drop, rupture velocity, and slip rate function. Source inversions using forward dynamic modeling are increasingly used to obtain earthquake rupture models. In this study, to generate a large number of physically self-consistent rupture models, rupture process of which is consistent with the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of stress produced by previous earthquakes on the same fault, we use multicycle simulations under the rate and state (RS) friction law.

We adopt a one-way coupling from multicycle simulations to dynamic rupture simulations; the quasidynamic solver QDYN is used to nucleate the seismic events and the spectral element dynamic solver SPECFEM3D to resolve their rupture process. To simulate realistic seismicity, with a wide range of magnitudes and irregular recurrence, several realizations of 2D-correlated heterogeneous random distributions of characteristic weakening distance (Dc) in RS friction are tested. Other important parameters are the normal stress, which controls the stress drop and rupture velocity during an earthquake, and the maximum value of Dc, which controls rupture velocity but not stress drop. We perform a parametric study on a vertical planar fault and generate a set of a hundred spontaneous rupture models in a wide magnitude range (Mw 5.5–7.4).

We validate the rupture models by comparison of source scaling, ground motion (GM), and surface slip properties to observations. We compare the source-scaling relations between rupture area, average slip, and seismic moment of the modeled events with empirical ones derived from source inversions. Near-fault GMs are computed from the source models. Their peak ground velocities and peak ground accelerations agree well with the ground-motion prediction equation values. We also obtain good agreement of the surface fault displacements with observed values.
Treadmill locomotor training and neurotrophic factors
Authors:   , Boyce Vanessa Susanne , Lemay Michel A.
Published: August 2021

Globally, spinal cord injury (SCI) affects tens of thousands of people annually, and depending on the severity and location of the trauma, can be debilitating. Therapies for the treatment of SCI use many different approaches to restore function. In this work two established approaches, transplantation and rehabilitation, were combined. We introduced neurotrophic factors into a complete spinal lesion via genetically engineered fibroblasts and provided locomotor training to the spinal cats. The locomotor recovery with each treatment alone and in combination was compared to the recovery in control cats (Op-control) that received unmodified fibroblast graft and no locomotor training. Op-control animals could not locomote. However, plantar weight bearing stepping was restored in cats receiving training only (Trained), neurotrophic factors only (NTF), and cats with the combination treatment (Combination). The latter group of cats was superior in some metrics of gait. Histological examination showed axonal sprouting within the graft for all cats. Thus we demonstrated that (1) both modified and unmodified grafts supported axonal sprouting, (2) grafts secreting neurotrophic factors alone were sufficient to restore locomotor function and (3) the combination therapy of training and neurotrophic factor administration was beneficial in enhancing some aspects of locomotion in the spinal cat. To determine how SCI and/or our interventions influenced motor responsiveness in the spinal cord caudal to the injury, we examined the endpoint force pattern types produced by intraspinal microstimulation of the interneuronal lumbar circuitry. We demonstrated that chronic SCI altered the proportion and distribution of endpoint force pattern types compared to the uninjured cat. The threshold for activation was also lowered. Hindlimb electromyographic activity recorded during intraspinal microstimulation was highly dependent upon hindlimb position. Therefore chronic SCI modified the motor output of the L5-L7 spinal cord. Overall, the modularity in motor output was preserved after injury, although the frequency at which some of the response types were expressed was modified by injury and to a lesser extent by training. The results illuminate the complexity of the locomotor spinal circuitry, and the importance of understanding how injury affects the spinal cord in order to design targeted treatments.

Authors: ONAY Ahmet Emre , DOKUR Emrah , KURBAN Mehmet
Published: August 2021

The two-parameter Weibull distribution is widely used in the estimation of wind speed. In this paper, some recently proposed parameter estimation methods for the two parameter Weibull distribution have been compared using the wind data from two cities in Turkey. The compared methods in this paper are Wind Energy Intensification Method (WEIM), Energy Pattern Factor Method (EPFM), and Power Density Method (PD). These methods have been compared by checking the fit have provided in the probability-density graph. The comparison has also been made by comparing of efficiencies these methods in predicting wind energy density. Lastly, a comparison has been investigated by using the following performance criteria; Wind Energy Error (WEE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Coefficient of Determination (R2), and the results of error analysis have been compared. According to simulation results, while the EPFM and PD methods have shown a very close fit on the graph; when it comes to calculating wind energy densities, the PD method has shown a significant advantage over other methods. Finally, after the examination of error criteria, it was clear that EPFM has shown accurate performance which is the desired result. The main conclusion is that the accurate method for these selected regions is the EPFM.

As plantas absorvem metais em solos contaminados, o que não se restringe às práticas agronômicas, mas a sua genética. Este estudo foi realizado na sub-bacia do Córrego da Cascata, em Botucatu (SP), nos cruzamentos do córrego com as Rodovias Domingos Sartori (P1) e Marechal Rondon (P2). Os objetivos foram avaliar os teores de Cd, Pb, Cu, Co, Cr, Ni, Zn e Sb encontrados em raízes e folhas de Brachiaria sp. e compará-los aos encontrados nos solos e sedimentos para avaliar a fitorremediação. As espécies metálicas foram determinadas por espectroscopia de emissão atômica com plasma acoplado indutivamente. Os resultados foram avaliados estatisticamente utilizando o Teste “t” de Student. Os metais nos solos e sedimentos indicaram relação direta com aqueles encontrados na planta, que variaram em até 16,0 vezes mais nas raízes em relação às folhas. A porcentagem do Cu translocada para a raiz no P1 foi 86% e a de Zn, 74%, enquanto que nas folhas foram menores: 32,3% e 48,6%, respectivamente. Já no P2, a translocação do Cu foi de 64,8% e o Zn 59,2% na raiz e 5,5% e 39,8% na folha, respectivamente. Portanto, a maior eficiência de translocação e bioacumulação ocorreu na ordem de Zn>Cu>Ni>Co>Cr, e os outros metais se fitoestabilizaram no solo e sedimento. Assim, há necessidade de analisar outras espécies de plantas e avaliar periodicamente a qualidade da água do Córrego da Cascata que está sob influência das rodovias e das áreas urbanas.

Authors: Pazinato Daiane Maria Melo , Schmidt Anelise Marlene , Wagner Caroline , Casa Nova Guilherme Pacheco
Published: August 2021

As condições ambientais podem influenciar a composição e produção dos metabólitos secundários, ocasionando maior ou menor capacidade antioxidante nas plantas. Neste trabalho foi avaliada a atividade antioxidante de Eugenia uniflora L. (pitangueira) presente em área de mineração de calcário, em comparação à atividade antioxidante de um espécime localizado em área natural (controle), através de dois métodos: complexação do fosfomolibdênio e o método de sequestro de radicais livres DPPH. Também foram investigados alguns parâmetros físico-químicos dos solos e das águas superficiais das regiões em estudo. O valor de pH do solo mostrou-se elevado na área de mineração (8,85±0,78), fator este que causa mais impactos na nutrição vegetal que a acidez do solo da área controle (5,37±0,35). Alguns elementos que são considerados essenciais para a nutrição vegetal, tais como, cobre, molibdênio, níquel e zinco, não foram detectados na área de mineração. A análise das águas superficiais indicou que a qualidade da água na área de controle é adequada, enquanto altos valores de pH, condutividade e dureza foram mensurados na área de mineração. A atividade antioxidante da planta localizada na área de mineração foi superior à da área controle. O maior percentual de atividade antioxidante observado foi de 96,55% para a planta na área de mineração de calcário, enquanto para a planta na área controle foi de 92,78%. A maior produção de compostos antioxidantes da planta da área de mineração pode ser explicada pela ausência ou déficit de alguns elementos minerais essenciais e pelo pH elevado, que afeta a disponibilidade de alguns nutrientes.Palavras-chave: mineradora; alteração ambiental; solos; plantas; atividade antioxidante.

Published: August 2021

Cost-efficient plant biomass conversion using biochemical and/or chemical routes is essential for transitioning to sustainable chemical technologies and renewable biofuels. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes that make part of modern hydrolytic cocktails destined for plant biomass degradation. Here, we characterized MtLPMO9A from Thermothelomyces thermophilus M77 (formerly Myceliophthora thermophila) and demonstrated that it could be efficiently driven by chlorophyllin excited by light in the presence of a reductant agent. However, in the absence of chemical reductant, chlorophyllin and light alone do not lead to a significant release of the reaction products by the LPMO, indicating a low capacity of MtLPMO9A reduction (either via direct electron transfer or via superoxide ion, O2•-). We showed that photocatalysis could significantly increase the LPMO activity against highly crystalline and recalcitrant cellulosic substrates, which are poorly degraded in the absence of chlorophyllin and light. We also evaluated the use of co-substrates by MtLPMO9A, revealing that the enzyme can use both hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and molecular oxygen (O2) as co-substrates for cellulose catalytic oxidation.

Published: August 2021

Surgical resection with curative intent is still a central therapeutic option for resectable esophageal cancer. Thoracoscopicesophagectomy in a prone position would give each benefit of the lateral position. The present research aimed to analyze the short-term outcomes of thoracoscopicesophagectomy in the prone position. This was a retrospective cross-sectional study. Patients who underwent thoracoscopicesophagectomy in the prone position at Tehran University Cancer institute from January 2017 to December 2018 entered the study. The esophagus was mobilized through the thoracoscopic approach in a prone position. The stomach was released using a laparoscopic approach for the gastric pull-up. Finally, an end-to-end hand-sewn cervical anastomosis was performed. Three, four, seven, one, and one patient suffered from pneumonia, leakage, tracheal tearing, chylothorax, and pneumothorax, respectively, after the operation. In 91.5% of patients, more than ten lymph nodes were resected. Sixty percent of patients were discharged from the hospital earlier than one week. Laparoscopicesophagectomy in the prone position is a feasible alternative. Better exposure and fewer complications were reported.

Authors: Aragón Reyes Manuel
Published: August 2021

En el presente artículo se plantean algunas reflexiones generales sobre el significado y función de la Corte Constitucional con ocasión de los treinta años de vigencia de la Constitución colombiana, a la luz de su diseño, sus funciones y el papel que juega para la consolidación y respeto de la democracia. El estudio se hace a través de tres partes. En primer lugar, se revisa el modelo de justicia constitucional colombiano adoptado en 1991, mediante su comparación con otros modelos de justicia constitucional –concentrados y difusos– en cuanto a su diseño, sus competencias y el ejercicio de su jurisdicción. La segunda sección hace referencia a los elementos que distinguen a la Corte Constitucional colombiana de otros tribunales constitucionales europeos, tales como los mecanismos de protección de derechos fundamentales, los mecanismos de acceso a la acción de inconstitucionalidad y el control a las reformas constitucionales; asimismo, se evalúa el papel de la Corte en la consolidación del Estado constitucional. Por último, se plantean reflexiones sobre la justicia constitucional y el principio democrático relacionadas con la “objeción democrática”, los límites a la interpretación constitucional y el papel de los jueces y el activismo judicial.

Tendencias del Third-Party Funding y su futuro en el arbitraje internacional
Authors: Camayo Ortiz Sebastián Camilo
Published: August 2021

En este artículo se estudia el fenómeno de la financiación por terceros en el arbitraje internacional (también conocido como Third-Party Funding o TPF) y se pretende con este entender cómo las tendencias que atraviesa el TPF en la actualidad pueden favorecer su desarrollo por los próximos diez años. Así, tras haber examinado el concepto y la evolución de la figura por medio de una revisión bibliográfica, el escrito analiza el futuro del TPF a partir de tres de sus tendencias más relevantes: i) el crecimiento exponencial en el uso de la figura, ii) la entrada a nuevos mercados en los que esta era poco o nada conocida, y iii) su reciente etapa de regulación. De lo anterior, se concluye que los diez años siguientes del TPF estarán probablemente marcados por su crecimiento constante, ello al no haber signos de desaceleración en su uso y consolidación en nuevos mercados. No obstante, el futuro de la figura parece estar principalmente ligado a su tendencia reguladora, ya que lograría un concepto casi universal del TPF, garantizaría la validez del fenómeno en jurisdicciones donde es prohibido al día de hoy y contribuiría a resolver las críticas existentes en su contra.

Published: August 2021

Background: Copper (Cu) is an essential trace mineral for growth, production and health of poultry. Due to its poor absorption from inorganic source which is common supplemental form, large amount of Cu is excreted in the excreta. This experiment was conducted to assess the bioavailability of Cu from organic and nano sources at lower level of supplementation to reduce the excretion level without compromising the growth performance of chicken. Methods: A total of 420-day-old Giriraja chicks were randomly assigned to 7 treatment groups having 4 replicates each (15 chicks per replicate). The basal diets of both chick (0-6 weeks) and grower phases (7-10 weeks) were supplemented with 20 and 30 ppm of Cu from inorganic source as control (T1), the groups T2, T3 and T4 supplemented with 100, 75 and 50% of control from organic Cu, T5, T6 and T7 treatment diets supplemented with 75, 50 and 25% of control from Cu nanoparticles, respectively. Result: The grower phase and cumulative body weight gain was significantly (p less than 0.05) higher in T2 compared to T1, T6 and T7 groups, while the feed intake in chick phase was lower in T2, T5 and T7 groups as compared to T1, T3, T4 and T6. The chick phase feed conversion ratio was significantly (p less than 0.05) better in T2 and T5 groups compared to T1, T3, T4, T6 and T7, whereas the cumulative FCR was better in T2 and T5 compared to T6 and T7 groups, while it was not affected during grower phase. The dry matter and crude protein metabolizability were significantly (p less than 0.05) higher in T2 and T5, the organic matter and ether extract metabolizability was higher only in T5. The crude fiber and nitrogen free extract was not affected by the treatment diets. Nitrogen excretion was significantly (p less than 0.05) lower and its retention was higher in T2 and T5 treatment groups but was comparable with control. The Cu excretion through excreta was significantly (p less than 0.05) higher and its retention was lower in control as compared to all dietary treatments. Hence, it was concluded that the Cu supplementation from organic or nanoparticles form can be reduced by 50 and 75% of standard, respectively without compromising the growth performance of birds and nutrient digestibility of diets.

Background: To evaluate use of homologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) drop and leucocyte-platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) clot/membrane as regenerative therapy for healing of corneal ulcer in dogs and its subsequent comparison with conventional therapy. Methods: In this randomized study, 30 dogs were divided into three groups of 10 animals each. It was ensured each group had grade I, II and III ulcers. Group I received medicinal treatment with antimicrobial and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eye drop. In Group II PRP drops and in Group III L-PRF membrane was used to evaluate corneal ulcer healing. Homologous platelet concentrates were prepared in laboratory and used for assessment of healing on various grades of corneal ulcer on basis on reduction in size and depth of ulcer, presence of stromal infiltration, scleral involvement, corneal opacity and vascularization. Result: Post treatment, the size of corneal ulcer started to reduce gradually from day 7 onwards. Significant (p≤0.05) reduction was observed from day 10 in group I after instillation of drops Moxifloxacin and Flurbiprofen and in group II after instillation of PRP. It was measured as 5.35 ± 0.63 and 5.20 ± 0.98 mm at day 0, which reduced significantly (p≤0.05) to 3.90 ± 0.50 and 3.10 ± 0.98 mm at day 10 in group I and group II respectively. In group III there was significant reduction in size of ulcer from day 0 to day 7 measuring 7.80 ± 1.05 and 0.20 ± 0.11mm respectively. Thereafter, from day 10 onwards complete sealing of ulcer was observed in all the cases. Post treatment there was no significant reduction in corneal opacity from day 0 to day 30 in group I dogs and corneal opacity persisted specially in grade II and grade III ulcers. There was significant reduction (p≤0.05) in opacity from 2.90 ± 0.35 to 2.10 ± 0.38 and 3.00 ± 0.37 to 2.40 ± 0.34 in group II and group III dogs from day 0 to day 10 respectively. In group I, II and III there was significant (p≤0.05) reduction in vascularization from 1.50±0.30 to 1.20±0.13, 1.30±0.37 to 0.60±0.22 and 1.40±0.31 to 0.40±0.31 from day 0 to day 15 respectively. There was a significant reduction in vascularization on day 15 in group II and group III compared to group I animals.

Published: August 2021

The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between ease of doing business score (EDBS) and cost of business start-up procedures (CBS), age dependency ratio (ADR), strength of legal rights index (SLRI), time required to get electricity (TRGE), domestic credit to private sector (DCPS), and start-up procedures to register a business (SPRB). Since 2004, the World Bank evaluates 190 economies based on business regulatory indicators ignoring other factors that may be related to business environment. This paper investigates new factors related to EDBS ignored by the World Bank since 2004. The results of correlation analysis show a negative and significant correlation between EDB and CBS, ADR, TRGE, and SPRB. Nevertheless, a positive and significant correlation was found between EDB and SLRI and DCPS. The linear regression model finds that SLRI and DGPS affected EDB positively and significantly. However, TRGE and SPRB affected negatively to EDB. Asian policymakers should reinforce SLRI and increase DCPS. However, they should also reduce TRGE and SPRB to improve EDB. Further research should be conducted on other regions and test also other factors.
