THE PATENTABILITY OF BIOTECHNOLOGICAL INVENTIONS IN THE EU: AN IMPACT ON THERAPEUTIC PRACTICE
Authors: Komarova Tetyana V.
Published: October 2020

The aim: To identify the spheres in which it is forbidden to patent the results of medical researches and as a consequence there is no legal protection of biotechnological inventions.
Materials and methods: The research material is a modern European regulatory framework that establishes the basic principles for patentability of biotechnological inventions.
The methods of information retrieval, analysis, systematization, and generalization were used in this article.
Conclusions: The Court of Justice has categorically stated that inventions that use human embryonic cells cannot be used for industrial or commercial purposes and therefore cannot be patented. In connection with this prohibition, the Court of Justice provided a unified definition of “embryo” and determined that it could be considered a dividing human egg, but only if it had a real ability to develop into a human. That is, the determining factor is not the beginning of the process of cell proliferation, but their real ability to become human. These decisions have become crucial for the development of research and the use of their results in therapeutic activities in the EU.
THE DIFFICULTIES IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF PULMONARY HYPERTENSION ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE
Authors: Łukasik Sylwia , Łukasik Dariusz , Tomaszewski Michał , Topyła Weronika , Wojtowska Agnieszka , Szopa Aleksandra , Wysokiński Andrzej
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Chronic lung disease (WHO group 3) is the second leading cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH). In turn, the development of PH influences the course of lung disease, worsening the clinical symptoms and prognosis.
The aim: To analyse the difficulties in the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension due to chronic lung disease.
Review and Discussion: According to recent literature, PH in the course of lung diseases develops as a result of both “parenchymal” and vascular pathology in patients with a genetic predisposition. Prolonged infection (especially viral) may be an additional promoting factor. Elevation of pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) is usually moderate and correlates with severity of lung disease. In a small minority, PAP may reach that seen in WHO group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Conclusions: Echocardiography and right heart catheterization are the principal tools for the diagnosis of PH in chronic lung diseases. Unfortunately, current medications for
treating PAH have not shown benefit in controlled trials of group 3 PH, hence their routine use is not recommended. Patients with severe group 3 PH should be considered for referral to expert centres or entry into clinical trials.
Hacia una nueva normalidad. Oportunidades de la salida de la crisis y su conexión con aspectos ambientales
Authors: Mestre María Victoria , Traveset Anna , Villaluenga Nancy , Recio Carmen
Published: October 2020

Este artículo aborda la coyuntura de algunos aspectos ambientales que, como en el resto del mundo, en España se han visto en mayor o menor medida afectados como consecuencia de las medidas de confinamiento de la población y reducción de la actividad económica registradas durante la crisis de la COVID-19. Se destacan la reducción de las emisiones contaminantes a la atmósfera, la protección del agua como recurso esencial para la vida, o el refuerzo de las operaciones destinadas a gestionar los residuos (en especial los de origen sanitario), todos ellos condicionantes de las necesarias garantías de salud de la población. La importancia de la preservación de los recursos naturales revelada durante el Estado de Alarma declarado en estos primeros meses de 2020, debe interpretarse en términos de oportunidad y aprovecharse para impulsar el enfoque sostenible de los sectores que afectan o son afectados por los mismos, tales como el transporte, la depuración y distribución del agua potable, o la gestión de los residuos. Para terminar, se aborda brevemente la situación del sector agroalimentario, considerado estratégico durante la crisis sanitaria.
SALUD DIGITAL, SALUD GLOBAL Y ETICA. UNA MIRADA DESDE EL ENFOQUE DE DERECHOS HUMANOS.
Authors: Fernández Aller Celia
Published: October 2020

Cada vez es mayor el consenso en torno a la idea de que es necesaria una reflexión en torno a los principios éticos y jurídicos que deben guiar la introducción de las nuevas tecnologías (Inteligencia Artificial, Big Data, Internet de las cosas, etc.) en la salud digital. Sin ética, los usos que se hagan de la tecnología no serán compatibles con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, ni con el bienestar de la sociedad, ni con la salud global. Además, hay que tener en cuenta que vivimos en un mundo en el que lo digital invade todo, también la salud, y en el que habrá que reinventar enfoques que sean científicamente robustos y socialmente justos.
EPIDEMIOLOGIA DIGITAL
Authors: Pastor Escudero David
Published: October 2020

La epidemiología es una disciplina que ha experimentado grandes avances basados en modelos computacionales y que cada vez incrementa su alcance gracias a nuevas fuentes de datos. Además de las variables tradiciones consideradas en epidemiología, ahora se integra, en tiempo real, el análisis de patrones sociales a gran escala con datos locales, permitiendo estudios multi-escala. En un mundo cada vez más conectado, los modelos y análisis de las interacciones y comportamientos sociales son clave para entender y frenar epidemias. El Big Data está permitiendo confrontar y refinar modelos con datos reales, además de permitir nuevas aplicaciones como el mapeo y seguimiento de enfermedades en tiempo real u optimizar la distribución de recursos como las vacunas o la realización de tests. La epidemiología digital es, por tanto, clave para el control de enfermedades y diseño de protocolos y políticas de acción. En esta revisión abordamos las áreas de estudio que están configurando esta disciplina: el análisis de propagación basado en modelos que integran redes de personas y rastreo de contactos, el análisis de movilidad y la propagación espacio-temporal de enfermedades infecciosas y el emergente análisis de la infodemia entendida como el estudio de los problemas relacionados con la información y conocimiento relacionado con las epidemias. La epidemiología digital permite generar y refinar nuevos mecanismos operacionales como son la prevención y mitigación, el monitoreo de la evolución de la epidemia y su impacto y la evaluación de medidas sanitarias y políticas (farmacéuticas y no-farmacéuticas) para parar epidemias. Las epidemias no pueden ser tratadas como fenómenos únicamente sanitarios, están intrínsecamente relacionadas con fenómenos socio-económicos y las dinámicas de otros sectores como el turismo o la agricultura, por tanto, debemos aproximar la epidemiología desde los sistemas complejos y con una visión sistémica. Además de los avances que se han acelerado por la pandemia COVID-19, discutimos sobre las oportunidades y retos para luchar epidemias de manera más eficaz y humana.
OBJETIVOS DE DESARROLLO SOSTENIBLE Y SALUD: UNA MIRADA DESDE EL ENFOQUE DE SERVICI OS DE LOS ECOSISTEMAS.
Authors: Viota María
Published: October 2020

El actual contexto de deterioro ambiental generalizado refuerza la urgencia del cumplimiento de los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). La salud es un reto central que interactúa con otros, por lo que el logro de los ODS pasa por el impulso de la salud global y ésta no puede verse satisfecha sin aportes integrales de todos los ODS. Construir de manera conjunta sostenibilidad global requiere esfuerzos coordinados que además enfaticen que la salud depende de la naturaleza y que la salud del planeta y las personas forma un binomio indivisible. El Enfoque de Servicios de los Ecosistemas permite examinar y poner en relieve los aportes de la naturaleza a las sociedades humanas, cuya prosperidad se ve afectada por los impactos en los
sistemas naturales. En el presente artículo se reflexiona en torno a las interconexiones más relevantes entre los ODS, los aportes de la naturaleza, la salud, y las oportunidades de vida digna. Este enfoque facilita la comprensión y puesta en valor de la naturaleza como base del bienestar y puede proporcionar un marco de análisis y comunicación de la Agenda 2030 claves en el impulso a su logro y a la transición hacia sociedades
más justas y resilientes.
What can zero hunger do for global health?
Authors: Custodio Cerezales Estefanía
Published: October 2020

The sustainable development goal#2 or “zero hunger” aims at ending hunger and malnutrition, and proposes five targets covering nutrition, food security, agriculture and biodiversity. Nutrition is a critical part of health as malnutrition poses significant threats to human health. Thus, tackling malnutrition can contribute to global health throughout many different pathways. This note explores some of these pathways, as well as the interlinkages of the other “zero hunger” targets and global health. Although the links between food security and nutrition and health are more straightforward, there are also bidirectional interactions between the agriculture and biodiversity-related targets and health to take into account when designing new approaches to tackle global health and zero hunger. In this note, we recommend to consider agriculture as a social determinant of health with an important role to play. Moreover, we advocate for a systemic approach that integrates health and sustainability within food systems, as proposed by the EU “From Farmto Fork” strategy.

Devenir des structures en béton en présence d’H2S – Vers une évolution des classes d’exposition
Authors: GUEGUEN MINERBE M. , NOUR I. , CHAUSSADENT T.
Published: October 2020

Le changement climatique et les modifications de pratiques induisent une augmentation de la teneur en hydrogène sulfuré dans les réseaux d’assainissement. Outre l’aspect sanitaire, l’H2S peut être responsable de la dégradation des canalisations et/ou infrastructures en béton, en particulier lorsqu’il est oxydé par des micro-organismes sulfo-oxydants avec formation d’acide sulfurique. Cet acide réagit avec les composés alcalins du béton et notamment avec l’hydroxyde de calcium pour former du gypse, composé expansif. Dans ces conditions et en fonction de la teneur en H2S, des dégradations importantes sont observées qui peuvent quelquefois conduire à l’effondrement du béton dans la partie aérienne. Des recommandations sur le choix des ciments sont proposées pour ces environnements, mais ne donnent pas entière satisfaction compte tenu du manque de données sur le comportement des matériaux cimentaires en fonction de la teneur en H2S. Dans cette étude, trois mortiers formulés avec des ciments différents ont été exposés sur six sites différents en France afin d’essayer de mieux définir les classes d’exposition définies dans le fascicule FD P18-011 relatif aux environnements contenant de l’H2S. L’utilisation de teneur moyenne en H2S ne semble pas la donnée la plus judicieuse pour classer les environnements, l’utilisation du 3e quartile apparaît comme un paramètre plus approprié. Il est ainsi possible de former trois classes : la classe 1, le 3e quartile est inférieur à 8 ppm ; la classe 2, le 3e quartile est compris entre 8 et 15 ppm ; et la classe 3, le 3e quartile est supérieur à 15 ppm.

Published: October 2020

O uso público em unidades de conservação brasileiras é considerado um instrumento estratégico para a aprendizagem e incentivo da conservação da natureza, já que a abertura e a adequada gestão dessas áreas possibilitam sua aproximação com a sociedade. Porém, essas atividades possuem uma complexidade de fatores sociais e ambientais. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi realizar o diagnóstico da gestão do uso público do Parque Estadual do Guartelá, localizado em Tibagi/PR. O trabalho foi elaborado com base na adaptação dos princípios indicados no Roteiro Metodológico para Impactos da Visitação, produzido pelo Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade, e na sistematização de informações contidas em fichas de cadastro de visitantes. Observou-se que, no período de 2007 a 2016, a área recebeu um total de 175.338 pessoas, apresentando uma média de 17.533 por ano, sendo que 94,60% da demanda de visitantes concentra-se em apenas um atrativo. A caracterização da gestão da visitação da unidade mostrou uma ausência de monitoramento sistematizado decorrente da falta de dados básicos, como tipificação da experiência e satisfação do usuário, de modo a fragilizar as ações de manejo.

Published: October 2020

The evolution of drug resistant bacteria has now becoming a major concern in the search for new antibacterial agent. Ongoing interest has also developing to find a new class of compounds with antioxidant properties. Herein, a series of hydroxylated chalcones 1a-g and aspirin-chalcone derivatives 2a-g were successfully synthesised for antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Chalcones 1a-g were prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 4-hydroxyacetophenone and benzaldehyde derivatives, while 2a-g were synthesised via esterification of aspirin with 1a-g. All the synthesised compounds were elucidated using CHNS elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. All compounds were evaluated for antibacterial assay via disc diffusion method and antioxidant assay using stable free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Only 1a showed moderate activity against Escherichia coli, while 1b-g and 2a-g showed no inhibition against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus in comparison ampicillin as standard antibiotic. Compounds 1b-g and 2a-g having various substituents contributed to bulky molecular structures and caused difficult penetration into the cell membrane thus, unable to inhibit the bacterial growth. Compounds 1a-g and 2a-g also displayed poor antioxidant properties on DPPH in comparison to ascorbic acid due to low phenolic pharmacophore. The formation of bulky structures for 2a-g have hindered the antioxidant properties compared to 1a-g.

Published: October 2020

Resistant starchtype III (RS3) possess various beneficial physiological effects as well as functionality in food containing resistant starch (RS). In this study, RS3 is produced from breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) starch using different processing conditions involving disruption of starch granules, enzymatic debranching of starch polymer, starch retrogradation and drying. Then, the morphology and size of the starch granules were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). A sample with the highest RS content (54.59%), denoted as P8 was produced when the breadfruit starch was suspended in distilled water, gelatinised by heating at 90°C for 30 minutes, followed by starch debranching with 20 New Pullulanase Unit Novo (NPUN) enzyme per g starch at 60°C for 24 hours. The suspension was then autoclaved at 121°C for 1 hour and cold stored at 4°C for 24 hours. Further treatment of P8 sample with 0.5 M HCl acid at 60°C for 24 hours, produced HCl-breadfruit RS3 with 57.86% of RS content. It was observed that hydrolysis of breadfruit RS3 sample with HCl produced smoother starch granules with more crystalline region and proportionally increased the RS content when compared to other treated sample. This study revealed that different processing conditions were significantly influenced the percentage of yield and properties of RS type III produced from breadfruit starch.

When the client accesses the Vehicle Tracker unit via the internet, the controller (Raspberry) provides 'real time' coordinate data along with a digital map. Testing is done by comparing it with GPS Standards with results that are still within the tolerance limit required by GPS International. Latency / delay testing to find out how long the information is sent from the device to the client results in latency / delay under 1 second.

Agricultural managed aquifer recharge — water quality factors to consider

Published: October 2020

The resilience and productivity of California's agriculture is threatened by groundwater overdraft, reduction in aquifer water quality, increased land subsidence damage to infrastructure and an irreversible reduction in groundwater storage capacity. Intentionally flooding agricultural fields during winter — a practice referred to as agricultural managed aquifer recharge (AgMAR) — can help counteract overdraft. However, the potential for AgMAR to exacerbate nitrate/salt leaching and contamination of at-risk aquifers remains a critical concern. To quantify the risk of groundwater contamination with AgMAR, we took 30-foot-long soil cores in 12 almond orchards, processing tomato fields and wine grape vineyards on low- and high-permeability soils, measured nitrate and total dissolved solids concentrations and calculated stored nitrate-N. Wine grape vineyards on permeable soils had the least nitrate leaching risk observed. However, almond orchards and tomato fields could be leveraged for AgMAR if dedicated recharge sites were established and clean surface water used for recharge. Historical land use, current nitrogen management and soil permeability class are the main factors to consider before implementing AgMAR.

Vibrations are alternative movements made by the mechanical system in relation to the reference state, being caused by disruptive forces (excitations) whose sizes, directions or points of application vary over time. From the multitude of parameters that, by measuring, give an image of the operating state, the vibrations and noise produced by machines and machines have attracted the attention of researchers, designers, builders and specialists in operation in recent years. Also the vibration and noise offer a high sensitivity to the analysis, but also individuality to the concrete situations, only apparently repeated. The development of vibration and noise measurement techniques, as well as the development of signal processing techniques, have allowed important improvements in the control, monitoring and diagnostic systems. The vibration diagnostics of the state of operation of facilities, installations and machinery in the oil industry is based on the fact that in the energy transfer process, oriented towards the realization of a given function, different components, located on the route of the transfer, can be excited mechanically, and thus the vibration. Monitoring the operation of the installations and machines in operation by the specific parameters of the operating process, by vibration, temperature etc., is recognized as an important way to increase the reliability, operating efficiency, reduce production and operating costs. For use or installation of monitoring systems is to check normality operation, to detect deviations potential „problems” and to provide information, decision support and interventions to disconnect or shutdown and for diagnosis. The accumulation, classification, analysis of these results, gathered in diagnostic databases, with the help of advanced processing techniques, are capable of ensuring, first of all, the objectivity of the diagnosis.

These programs were developed based on the algorithms for calculating the parameters of the equivalent scheme, the electrical balance components and the energy efficiency indicators (efficiency, power factor) for a three-phase induction motor with squirrel cage rotor with deep rectangular bars within the ancillary services of a thermoelectric power plant, using a complete mathematical model for different degrees of loading.
Paulo da Gama e os narradores em Os Lusíadas, de Luís de Camões
Authors: R. Leite Leni , Sodré Paulo Roberto
Published: October 2020

Considerando as reflexões de Cleonice Berardinelli sobre os narradores de Os lusíadas, de Luís de Camões, discutimos aspectos da estrutura narrativa dessa epopeia a partir da observação do narrador Paulo da Gama em cotejo com a atuação do narrador épico e do narrador-personagem Vasco da Gama. Propomos uma revisão das conclusões sobre o papel narrativo de Paulo da Gama no poema, considerando-o como o segundo narrador-personagem e, por conseguinte, o terceiro narrador em importância na arquitetura narrativa camoniana, de acordo com os objetivos expostos pelo autor na proposição do canto épico português. Hernâni Cidade, Jorge de Sena e Vítor Manuel de Aguiar e Silva conduzem, sobretudo, os argumentos expostos.
Lereno Selinuntino e Glauceste Satúrnio: presença de lirismo pastoril e alvinegro no Arcadismo luso-brasileiro
Authors: Silva Tânia de Assis
Published: October 2020

Neste artigo, propõe-se a leitura comparativa entre alguns poemas de Domingos Caldas Barbosa, o pastor Lereno Selinuntino, e de Cláudio Manuel da Costa, de nome pastoril Glauceste Satúrnio, considerando que ambos pertenceram ao movimento literário do Arcadismo e quanto à estética, à temática e à erudição na voz os poetas pastores se assemelham quando deixam vazar o lirismo amoroso usando elementos bucólicos, característicos da poética árcade; entretanto, além da voz poética arcádica de Lereno, considera-se a voz que assume sua identidade negra e se distingue dos poetas árcades pela inovação no fazer poético marcado na fluidez do lirismo que passa a ser vazado na voz afro-brasileira, cantando a modinha e o lundu, ao trazerem expressões tanto da linguagem popular brasileira quanto marcas da oralidade africana.

Published: October 2020

We report the synthesis of α-Ag2S nanoparticles (NPs) by one-step laser ablation of a silver target in aqueous solution of thiourea (Tu, CH4N2S) mixed with cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant. The effect of the CTAB surfactant on the structural, morphological, optical, and elemental composition of Ag2S NPs was evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and UV–vis spectroscopy. The optical absorption decreased and the optical energy gap of α-Ag2S increased from 1.5 to 2 eV after the CTAB surfactant was added to the Tu solution. XRD studies revealed that the synthesized Ag2S NPs were polycrystalline with a monoclinic structure and that crystallinity of the nanoparticles was improved after adding CTAB. Raman studies revealed the presence of peaks related to Ag–S bonds (Ag modes) and the longitudinal optical phonon 2LO mode. Scanning electron microscopy investigations confirmed the production of monodisperse Ag2S NPs when using the CTAB surfactant. The optoelectronic properties of α-Ag2S/p-Si photodetector, such as current–voltage characteristics and responsivity in the dark and under illumination, were also improved after using the CTAB surfactant. The responsivity of the photodetector increases from 0.64 to 1.85 A/W at 510 nm after adding CTAB. The energy band diagram of the α-Ag2S/p-Si photodetector under illumination was constructed. The fabricated photodetectors exhibited reasonable stability after three weeks of storage under ambient conditions with a responsivity of 70% of the initial value.
