Transport of Charged Particles Propagating in Turbulent Magnetic Fields as a Red-noise Process
Authors: Deligny Olivier
Published: October 2021

The transport of charged particles in various astrophysical environments permeated by magnetic fields is described in terms of a diffusion process, which relies on diffusion-tensor parameters generally inferred from Monte Carlo simulations. In this paper, a theoretical derivation of the diffusion coefficient in the case of a purely turbulent magnetic field is presented. The approach is based on a red-noise approximation to model the 2 point correlation function of the magnetic field experienced by the particles between two successive times. This approach is shown to describe the regime in which the Larmor radius of the particles is in resonance with the wavelength power spectrum of the turbulence (gyroresonant regime), extending hence previous results applying to the high-rigidity regime in which the Larmor radius is greater than the larger wavelength of the turbulence. The results are shown to be consistent with those obtained with a Monte Carlo generator. Although not considered in this study, the presence of a mean field on top of the turbulence is discussed.
Effects of Turbulence in the Circumnuclear Disk
Authors: Dinh Cuc K. , Salas Jesus M. , Morris Mark R. , Naoz Smadar
Published: October 2021

A circumnuclear disk (CND) of molecular gas occupies the central few parsecs of the Galactic Center. It is likely subject to turbulent disruptions from violent events in its surrounding environment, but the effect of such perturbations has not yet been investigated in detail. Here we perform 3D, N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations with an adapted general turbulence driving method to investigate the CND’s structural evolution, in particular its reaction to varied scales of injected turbulence. We find that, because of shear flow in the disk, transient arcs of gas (streams) naturally arise when turbulence is driven on large scales (up to ∼4 pc), as might occur when a supernova blast wave encounters the CND. Because energetic events arise naturally and often in the central parsecs of our Galaxy, this result suggests that the transient structures that characterize the CND do not imply that the CND itself is a transient structure. We also note that features similar to the density concentrations, or clumps, detailed in the literature emerge when we account for the observed orientation of the disk and for the spatial resolution of observations. As such, clumps could be an artifact of observational limitations.

Upcoming missions such as Euclid and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) will use emission-line-selected galaxies to address a variety of questions in cosmology and galaxy evolution in the z > 1 universe. The optimal observing strategy for these programs relies on knowing the number of galaxies that will be found and the bias of the galaxy population. Here we measure the [O iii] λ5007 luminosity function for a vetted sample of 1951 m
J+JH+H < 26 galaxies with unambiguous redshifts between 1.90 < z < 2.35, which were selected using Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/WFC3 G141 grism frames made available by the 3D-HST program. These systems are directly analogous to the galaxies that will be identified by the Euclid and Roman missions, which will utilize grism spectroscopy to find [O iii] λ5007-emitting galaxies at 0.8 ≲ z ≲ 2.7 and 1.7 ≲ z ≲ 2.8, respectively. We interpret our results in the context of the expected number counts for these upcoming missions. Finally, we combine our dust-corrected [O iii] luminosities with rest-frame ultraviolet star formation rates to present a new calibration of the star formation rate density associated with 1.90 < z < 2.35 [O iii]-emitting galaxies. We find that these grism-selected galaxies contain roughly half of the total star formation activity at z ∼ 2.

Published: October 2021

Introduction: In Thailand, Leishmania martiniquensis is the predominant species causing cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis. Its incidence has been increasing among immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. We developed a prototype DNA vaccine using a partial consensus sequence of the cysteine protease B (cpb) gene derived from L. martiniquensis from Thai patients.

Methodology: The laboratory inbred strain of albino BALB/c mice were immunized intramuscularly three times at 2-week intervals (weeks 0, 2, and 4) with cpb plasmid DNA (pcDNA_cpb) with or without the adjuvant, monoolein (pcDNA_cpb-MO). Mice were challenged at week 6 with L. martiniquensis promastigotes. Sera were analysed for IgG1, IgG2a, interferon gamma and interleukin 10 (IFN-γ and IL-10, respectively) levels at weeks 0, 4, and 9. Additionally, livers and spleens were also analysed for parasite burden using immunohistochemistry and real-time polymerase chain (qPCR) assays.

Results: Three weeks after promastigote challenge, vaccinated mice showed significantly increased levels of IgG2a and IFN-γ while IL-10 level was significantly reduced when compared with those in the control group (p < 0.01). Parasite burden in the livers and spleens of vaccinated mice significantly decreased. In addition, a significant increase in mature granuloma formation in the livers when compared with those of the control group (p < 0.05) was found, indicating increased T-helper cells (Th1)-induced inflammation and destruction of amastigotes. Monoolein produced a booster effect to enhance the mouse Th1 protective immunity.

Conclusions: The prototype DNA vaccine could induce a Th1 immune response that conferred potential protection to the L. martiniquensis promastigote challenge in BALB/c mice.

Published: October 2021

Introduction: Urosepsis is life threatening, unless treated immediately. Empirical treatment with appropriate antibiotics lowers the risk of a poor outcome. However, with increasing resistance among common uropathogens, there is a need for continuous review of the existing protocol to determine whether there is a correlation between empirical antibiotic therapy and in-vitro susceptibility pattern of the pathogens causing urosepsis.

Methodology: A prospective study was carried out on 66 confirmed cases of urosepsis from January 2017 to December 2018 after obtaining ethical clearance. Demographic details, risk factors, length of hospital stay, bacteriological profile, empirical antibiotic given, and change in antibiotic following susceptibility report and outcome was recorded.

Results: Among the 66 urosepsis cases 63 of them were started on empiric antibiotic. The correlation between the empirical antibiotic given and the in-vitro antimicrobial susceptibility was found to be significant with a p value < 0.0001. Among the 63 for whom empiric antibiotics was started further escalation of antibiotic was done in 46 patients. The remaining 20% of cases were changed over to a different antibiotic, in line with susceptibility report. The mortality rate was (15.1%) with a confidence interval of (CI = 15 ± 3.5). The association between the risk factors for urosepsis and their effect on mortality rate was analyzed. Diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease were identified as important independent risk factors and had direct influence on the mortality rate with significant p value of 0.0281 and 0.0015 respectively.

Conclusions: A significant correlation was identified between the empirical antibiotic given and in-vitro antibiotic susceptibility pattern.

Environmental sustainability and scientific publishing: EASE manifesto
Authors: Mertens Stephan , Brown Alastair
Published: October 2021

Human impacts on the Earth have become so pervasive as to drive global scale changes leading some scientists to propose a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. A name which reflects the huge and sweeping changes human activities have caused to the Earth. Furthermore, these rapidly expanding and accelerating activities threaten to push aspects of the Earth system beyond  the relatively stable and safe space in which the entirety of human history occurred, the Holocene. This safe operating space is characterised by a set of nine planetary boundaries1 within which humanity should be able to continue to develop and thrive for generations to come. These include: climate change, biosphere integrity, biogeochemical flows and freshwater use. Crossing these boundaries risks generating large-scale, rapid or irreversible environmental changes.

Reducing the environmental impact of our activities in order to keep within a safe operating space for humanity and the linked goal of providing a basic social foundation for everyone requires global actions. Every individual, company, institution and organisation, whether large or small, public or private, needs to contribute – ‘think global, act local’. Scientific publishing as a key player in discussing and disseminating research on climate heating and the biodiversity crisis has transformed from print to digital journals and e-books over recent decades but we must do more.

The European Association of Science Editors (EASE) is an international community of individuals and associations engaged in science communication and editing. As such, EASE can help and support its members to engage in different ways to achieve and communicate efforts to reduce our environmental footprints for example by becoming carbon neutral (or even carbon negative) irrespective of the type of organisation they work in.

Below are some suggestions for how editors can take steps to reduce their environmental footprint in their own particular circumstances and thereby contribute to the overall effort to reduce environmental damages. Not all suggestions will be relevant to everyone and structural or organisational change will have a greater impact than individual actions, but together we can make a difference.
Characterizing entropy dimensions of minimal mutidimensional subshifts of finite type
Authors: Gangloff Silvère
Published: October 2021

In this text I study the asymptotics of the complexity function of minimal multidimensional subshifts of finite type through their entropy dimension, a topological invariant that has been introduced in order to study zero entropy dynamical systems. Following a recent trend in symbolic dynamics I approach this using concepts from computability theory. In particular it is known [12] that the possible values of entropy dimension for d-dimensional subshifts of finite type are the \begin{document}$ \Delta_2 $\end{document}-computable numbers in \begin{document}$ [0, d] $\end{document}. The kind of constructions that underlies this result is however quite complex and minimality has been considered thus far as hard to achieve with it. In this text I prove that this is possible and use the construction principles that I developped in order to prove (in principle) that for all \begin{document}$ d \ge 2 $\end{document} the possible values for entropy dimensions of \begin{document}$ d $\end{document}-dimensional SFT are the \begin{document}$ \Delta_2 $\end{document}-computable numbers in \begin{document}$ [0, d-1] $\end{document}. In the present text I prove formally this result for \begin{document}$ d = 3 $\end{document}. Although the result for other dimensions does not follow directly, it is enough to understand this construction to see that it is possible to reproduce it in higher dimensions (I chose dimension three for optimality in terms of exposition). The case \begin{document}$ d = 2 $\end{document} requires some substantial changes to be made in order to adapt the construction that are not discussed here.
Periodic and asymptotically periodic fourth-order Schrödinger equations with critical and subcritical growth
Authors: Silva Edcarlos D. , Carvalho Marcos L. M. , Goulart Claudiney
Published: October 2021

It is established existence of solutions for subcritical and critical nonlinearities considering a fourth-order elliptic problem defined in the whole space \begin{document}$ \mathbb{R}^N $\end{document}. The work is devoted to study a class of potentials and nonlinearities which can be periodic or asymptotically periodic. Here we consider a general fourth-order elliptic problem where the principal part is given by \begin{document}$ \alpha \Delta^2 u + \beta \Delta u + V(x)u $\end{document} where \begin{document}$ \alpha > 0, \beta \in \mathbb{R} $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ V: \mathbb{R}^N \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $\end{document} is a continuous potential. Hence our main contribution is to consider general fourth-order elliptic problems taking into account the cases where \begin{document}$ \beta $\end{document} is negative, zero or positive. In order to do that we employ some fine estimates proving the compactness for the associated energy functional.

COVID-19 and other neighbouring diseases spread widely, resulting in a global epidemic that was impossible to manage and control. While numerous measures have been put in place to detect an infected person and protect uninfected areas from contracting these contagious diseases, the spread of diseases like COVID-19 continues to be rapid. As of the time of writing this paper, the number of affected people has continued to rise, and there is no clear indication of the number of people who are infected but have gone undiscovered and are spreading the infections. That is why, in order to combat the threat of contiguous disease spread, this research presented an upgraded autonomous socio-contact tracing system on a mobile platform. As a result, a generic system development process was used to create a system that allows an infected person who has been tested positive to track their electromagnetic ID card in order to determine their exact location and the risk of spreading contagious diseases. by an autonomous smart assistant that assists in describing symptoms. As a result, the system is equipped with notifications alerts for the stages of social group identification, processing, and control in order to avoid the spread of contagious diseases. The development of this system is critical for controlling epidemic diseases that are spreading over the world (particularly COVID-19) and posing a threat to people's lives. Furthermore, it contributes to a greater understanding of the seriousness of epidemic diseases and how to avoid them.

Today we are witnessing an unprecedented pandemic called the "COVID-19 pandemic" which has created the greatest disruption to education systems in human history. It has caused the closure of schools, institutions and other learning spaces, causing profound changes in all aspects of our lives. Policies of social distancing and restriction of movement have significantly disrupted traditional educational practices. Faced with this problem, it is time to innovate and implement an alternative education system and assessment strategies. The work presented in this paper responds to this problem and aims to provide a practical work environment which allows engineers to complete their basic training with the use, control and handling of measuring instruments often used in the real world. This environment will therefore be accessible online and makes it possible to control the process.

The American Government and “Total War” on COVID-19
Authors: Griffin Christopher
Published: October 2021

In the Economic Impact Payment letter to American citizens in Spring 2020, President Donald Trump wrote that “we wage total war on this invisible enemy.” Trump likely did not intend to explicitly link this to the rich theory about “total war” in military history, but this article examines the American rhetoric surrounding the war on COVID-19 to see whether it corresponds to definitions of total war in military strategic thought. The Clausewitzian origins of the idea of “absolute war” and limited war will also be examined to ascertain their relevance as a framework for understanding the American approach to the conflict with the virus. A total war strategy would have implied either mobilizing the entire population into the health sector or imposing a total national lockdown. This article examines both the strategy outlined by Donald Trump and the reality of what was undertaken by the Federal Government. The military was involved in the war effort against the virus in the U.S., but only in a logistical and financial sense. A national lockdown was never intended due to its potential adverse effects on the economy, and in any case, the Federal Government did not have the authority to impose health policy on individual states and local authorities. The result was a variety of local responses to the crisis with little federal coordination, much like what occurred with the Influenza Epidemic of 1918-19. Despite its military and hyperbolic rhetoric, the Trump Administration did not choose a total war strategy. Instead, it decided to adopt a limited holding strategy that accepted human losses while protecting the economy and waiting for a Government-sponsored vaccine to save the day.

In the globalizing world, students can cross the boundaries and benefit from the education systems from other cultures. Management of the international students' acceptance processes are given under the responsibility of higher education institutions within the bounds of criteria determined by the Higher Education Council in Turkey. Therefore, selection process shows differences in each institution and the management of the process becomes difficult because of the increase in applications. Consequently, it has been an inevitable need to use digitalization and information systems to conduct this process correctly. In this chapter, digital transformation and integration in educational activities through the international student application process is discussed. This chapter involves different application methods used in universities and some enhanced processes. This chapter is to be a guide for effectively conducting the process of international student applications in universities using information technologies and how to perform integration with educational practices.

Published: October 2021

The European Union (EU) consists of 27 economies characterized by different economic structures, living standards, demographic dynamics, technology development, and other factors shaping their sustainable development patterns. This chapter aims to examine the impact of total investments and R&D investments on the sustainable development of EU economies and determine how these financial investments impact sustainable competitiveness in the global market. The assessment of the sustainable development performances was performed for the period from 2008 to 2019 using the linear regression model. The key findings pointed out that total investments and R&D investments had different impacts on sustainable competitiveness aspects in old member states (OMS) and new member states (NMS). The results could help policymakers understand, adjust, and optimize sustainable competitiveness to secure economic growth in all regions and reduce the differences between OMS and NMS.

Published: October 2021

This chapter dealt with the characteristics, the governance structure, policy-making process, the main thrusts, and regional governance of Korean smart cities. Korea defined a smart city as a platform to improve the quality of life for citizens, enhance the sustainability of cities, and foster new industries by utilizing innovative technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution era. The smart city consists of three components including technologies, services, and applications, and legislation. Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport has been in a position to play a leading role in developing smart cities and has accordingly been pushing for deregulation while other ministries have been devoted to the programmes under the inter-agency collaboration framework. The Seoul smart city initiatives are reviewed in terms of policy process including policy formulation, policymaking, policy implementation, and policy evaluation. The chapter also suggests ASEAN regional cooperation types in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

OS ESTUDOS SOBRE A CRIANÇA NO INÍCIO DO SÉCULO XX: ENTRELAÇAMENTOS ENTRE PSICOLOGIA E EDUCAÇÃO NO BRASIL
Authors: Böger Sara da Silva , Carvalho Diana Carvalho de
Published: October 2021

Neste artigo enfocamos as relações históricas entre Psicologia e Educação, partindo do pressuposto de que a realização e a divulgação dos estudos sobre a criança, no início do século XX, foram marcos importantes, tanto para a constituição do campo educacional brasileiro, como para a consolidação da Psicologia como ciência no país. Conhecer a criança e pensar sua Educação no momento em que o país se constituía como nação republicana foi a aposta dos intelectuais articulados no grupo conhecido como pioneiros da Educação Nova. Esses intelectuais atualizaram no país as discussões que aconteciam em outras partes do mundo. Entendemos que recuperar essa trajetória permite compreender como foram tratados, na época, temas que até hoje ocupam a cena educacional, tais como a dimensão histórica e cultural do desenvolvimento da criança em oposição à compreensão biológica, natural e universal desse processo; as questões raciais; os processos de ensino e aprendizagem.
IL-10 as a Th2 Cytokine: Differences Between Mice and Humans
Authors: Rasquinha Mahima T , Sur Meghna , Lasrado Ninaad , Reddy Jay
Published: October 2021

The discovery of IL-10 more than 30 years ago marked the beginning of our understanding of how cytokines regulate immune responses, based on cross-regulation between Th1 and Th2 cytokines. Although multiple cell types were shown to produce IL-10, its identity as a Th2 cytokine remained strong because it was rigidly associated with Th2 clones in mice, whereas both Th1 and Th2 clones could secrete IL-10 in humans. However, as new Th1/Th2 cell functionalities emerged, anti-inflammatory action of IL-10 gained more attention than its inhibitory effect on Th1 cells, which may occur as an indirect consequence of suppression of APCs. This notion is also supported by the discovery of regulatory T cells, whose suppressor functions involve the mediation of IL-10, among other molecules. From this perspective, we discuss the functionalities of IL-10 by highlighting important differences between mice and humans with an emphasis on the Th1 and Th2 paradigm.

Published: October 2021

Sepsis develops after a dysregulated host inflammatory response to a systemic infection. Identification of sepsis biomarkers has been challenging because of the multifactorial causes of disease susceptibility and progression. Public transcriptomic data are a valuable resource for mechanistic discoveries and cross-studies concordance of heterogeneous diseases. Nonetheless, the approach requires structured methodologies and effective visualization tools for meaningful data interpretation. Currently, no such database exists for sepsis or systemic inflammatory diseases in human. Hence we curated SysInflam HuDB (http://sepsis.gxbsidra.org/dm3/geneBrowser/list), a unique collection of human blood transcriptomic datasets associated with systemic inflammatory responses to sepsis. The transcriptome collection and the associated clinical metadata are integrated onto a user-friendly and Web-based interface that allows the simultaneous exploration, visualization, and interpretation of multiple datasets stemming from different study designs. To date, the collection encompasses 62 datasets and 5719 individual profiles. Concordance of gene expression changes with the associated literature was assessed, and additional analyses are presented to showcase database utility. Combined with custom data visualization at the group and individual levels, SysInflam HuDB facilitates the identification of specific human blood gene signatures in response to infection (e.g., patients with sepsis versus healthy control subjects) and the delineation of major genetic drivers associated with inflammation onset and progression under various conditions.

Published: October 2021

In the last few decades, public health surveillance has increasingly applied statistical methods to analyze the spatial disease distributions. Nevertheless, contact tracing and follow up control measures for tuberculosis (TB) patients remain challenging because public health officers often lack the programming skills needed to utilize the software appropriately. This study aimed to develop a more user-friendly application by applying the CodeIgniter framework for server development, ArcGIS JavaScript for data display and a web application based on JavaScript and Hypertext Preprocessor to build the server’s interface, while a webGIS technology was used for mapping. The performance of this approach was tested based on 3325 TB cases and their sociodemographic data, such as age, gender, race, nationality, country of origin, educational level, employment status, health care worker status, income status, residency status, and smoking status between 1st January 2013 and 31st December 2017 in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia. These data were collected from the Gombak District Health Office and Rawang Health Clinic. Latitude and longitude of the location for each case was geocoded by uploading spatial data using Google Earth and the main output was an interactive map displaying location of each case. Filters are available for the selection of the various sociodemographic factors of interest. The application developed should assist public health experts to utilize spatial data for the surveillance purposes comprehensively as well as for the drafting of regulations aimed at to reducing mortality and morbidity and thus minimizing the public health impact of the disease.
Spatial and socioeconomic inequalities in the availability of community health centres in the Jakarta region, Indonesia

Published: October 2021

In the late 1960s, Indonesia established community health centres (CHCs) throughout the country to provide basic healthcare services for the poor. However, CHC expenditures and investments vary widely at the sub-provincial level, among administrative areas known as cities and regencies, raising concern that facilities and services do not correspond to population needs. This study aimed to examine spatial and socioeconomic inequalities in the availability of CHCs in the Jakarta region. We used spatial and statistical analysis methods at the village level to investigate these inequalities based on CHC data from the Ministry of Health and socioeconomic data from Indonesia Statistics. Results show that CHCs and the healthcare workers within them are unevenly distributed. In areas with high need, the availability of CHCs and healthcare workers were found to be low. There is a mismatch in healthcare services and delivery for low-income, unemployed populations at the village level that needs to be addressed. The findings discussed in this paper suggest that Jakarta Department of Health should coordinate with local public health districts to determine locations for new CHCs and assign healthcare workers to each CHC based on need as this would improve access to essential health services for the low-income population.

Lost in Between: The Case of Russian Heritage Speakers
Authors: Isurin Ludmila , Ivanova-Sullivan Tanya
Published: October 2021

The present paper looks at the growing population of Russian heritage speakers from a linguistic and psycholinguistic perspective. The study attempts to clarify further the notion of heritage language by comparing the linguistic performance of heritage speakers with that of monolinguals and second language learners. The amount of exposure to L1/L2, the age at which immigration to the U.S. occurred, degree of literacy in Russian, and metalinguistic awareness were among the sociolinguistic factors considered in the present study. The qualitative in-group and cross-group analyses revealed syntactic and morphological features that characterize Russian as a heritage language. The performance of heritage speakers on the narrative task differed from that of Russian monolinguals and American learners of Russian.
