Authors: Fernandes Rachel , Rodrigues Maria Angélica , Cardoso Claudia Andrea , Alves Daniela , Morais Selene , Panontin Juliane , Scapin Elisandra
Published: May 2022

This study evaluated the chemical composition, antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities, and the toxicity of hydroethanolic extracts of the Parkia platycephala Benth. Hot extraction with 70% hydroethanolic solution was used to obtain crude extracts of the leaf (LE), bark (BE), flower (FE), and seed (SE). Separation and identification of the compounds were performed by liquid chromatography with diode array detection and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities were performed by the 2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) and Ellman methods, respectively, and the preliminary toxicity by the method with Artemia salina. Chromatography analysis indicated naringin, kaempferol, stigmasterol, and β-sitosterol in all extracts. Gallic acid is prominent in the LE and FE, while ferulic acid is abundant in the BE and lupeol and lupeol acetate are prominent in the SE. The BE antioxidant activity (lethal concentration of 50% (IC50) = 14.72 ± 0.13 μg mL-1) is equivalent to the standard rutin (IC50 = 15.85 ± 0.08 μg mL-1). The SE had the best acetylcholinesterase inhibition potential (IC50 = 5.73 ± 0.68 μg mL-1). Aside from the SE, which is not toxic, the other extracts had low (LE, FE) and moderate (BE) toxicity. The extracts of P. platycephala have potential antioxidant and therapeutic uses, especially against Alzheimer’s disease.

Women’s (non) participation in sports: Gendered attitudes, biopolitics, and women’s perceptions of body and sports in Iran
Authors: Rahbari Ladan , Mahmudabadi Zeinab
Published: May 2022

Women’s lower participation in sports in Iran is perceived to be caused by broadly held patriarchal-cultural norms as well as the Iranian State’s regulation of women’s sports and visibility. This exploratory research uses feminist scholarship and qualitative methods to investigate the central factors forming women’s perceptions of sports participation and gender. Based on interviews with twenty-six women participants, the study revealed that essentialist beliefs among the participants attributed muscularity, strength, and excessive size to men, and delicateness, beauty, and thinness to women. We draw on feminist perspectives on body politics to explore women’s attitudes and explanations for (non)participation in sports. Discourses of appropriate femininity and gendered embodiment played important roles in these explanations. References to modesty, gender norms, and faith were peripheral in our findings on gendered aspects of physical activity and sports participation.

Published: May 2022

Background

Most studies reporting treatment outcomes for eating disorders at higher levels of care focus on anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. No studies have been published with a singular focus on examining treatment outcomes for adults receiving residential programming specifically designed for the treatment of binge eating spectrum disorders (BESD), including binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa.

Objective

The purpose of this paper is to outline the protocol of a prospective study examining treatment outcomes at discharge and 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month postdischarge follow-up, for a sample of consecutive admissions to a residential program specifically for patients with BESD.

Methods

One hundred consecutive admissions to a binge eating treatment program were enrolled in the prospective single-arm trial between January 2019 and February 2020. Data were collected at admission, discharge, and 3, 6, and 12 months postdischarge, with admission, discharge, and 12-month follow-up as the major timepoints of interest. Results across the major timepoints will be analyzed with mixed effects general linear models.

Results

The primary aim is to assess the impact of the program on eating disordered behaviors at discharge and 12-month follow-up, which are hypothesized to improve as a result of treatment. Secondary hypotheses include improvements on comorbid symptoms, including trauma, depression, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, as well as improvements on medical indicators of health, including cholesterol and triglycerides, at discharge and 12-month follow-up.

Conclusions

This study may aid in the development of treatment guidelines for patients with BESD at higher levels of care and lend support to having specialty treatment programs for patients with BESD.

Kidney replacement therapy and global issues: world experience and our challenges
Authors: Ivanov D.D.
Published: May 2022

The problem of renal replacement therapy (RRT) is relevant in today’s world due to a large number of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). According to current data, about 10–11 % of people suffer from CKD, of which up to 5 % need RRT. Unfortunately, the number of people with CKD in the world is increasing, which determines the growing need for RRT. There are three types of RRT, namely: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. Kidney transplantation is the most effective method of RRT, but its possibilities in the world are limited. Therefore, most people receive hemo- or peritoneal dialysis. But the long-term effects of choosing a dialysis method are not always predictable. The peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis show similar effectiveness during the first two years. Subsequent studies comparing the efficacy of the two methods do not provide a clear picture due to differences in patient initial parameters and differences in treatment initiation time. It is clear that peritoneal dialysis can have significant advantages in low-income countries due to the resource costs of the latter. The known benefits of peritoneal dialysis, such as flexibility of use, high quality of life, and preservation of residual renal function, increase its attractiveness, especially for young people with stage 5 CKD. The main strategies today are timely detection and prevention of CKD, control of comorbidities, as well as the development of documents and recommendations for standardization and improving the quality of renal replacement therapy.
Influence of oxidative, carbonyl, and nitrosative stresses on the course of chronic kidney disease (analytical review)
Authors: Denova L.D. , Ivanov D.D.
Published: May 2022

Oxidative stress is a phenomenon caused by an imbalance of peroxide homeostasis. The concept of oxidative stress was introduced in 1985 and has a clear connection with redox chemistry. The article provides a detailed description of molecular redox switches that control the response to oxidative stress. Four levels of protection of the cell by enzymatic antioxidants from the action of reactive oxygen species are described. It has been shown that antioxidant enzymes play a major role in antioxidant protection rather than low molecular weight antioxidant compounds. Four stages of lipid peroxidation are considered. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease. Uraemia increases oxidative stress. Mitochondrial dysfunction is the most important cause of oxidative stress in acute and chronic kidney disease. The effect of molecular stress on the kidneys and the course of chronic kidney disease is described. Some information is presented in the form of tables for the readers’ convenience.

Monetary and Fiscal Policy Measures in the Corona Crisis - Consideration for Germany
Authors: Wenning Sebastian
Published: May 2022

Crises are often forks into the unknown. When it became increasingly clear at the beginning of 2020 that a very serious wave of infection with a new type of virus was developing in the Chinese region of Wuhan, this was initially only of secondary interest from an economic point of view. At most, the supply chains of companies that are based on preliminary products from or sales to this region seemed to be temporarily endangered by these medical problems. No one expected significant macroeconomic effects, even on a global scale. So far, economic crises have only arisen for economic reasons. This context given the monetary policy on a European level and fiscal policy measures on a German governemental level taken to combat the economic consequences of the so-called “Corona crisis” are presented and in addition their usefulness and impact subsequently assessed.

Abstract: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that was first reported at the end of 2019 has impacted almost every aspect of life as we know it. This paper focuses on the incidence of the disease in India and Maharashtra—two of the most affected Landmasses. Using one simple machine learning algorithms, we model the daily and cumulative incidence of COVID-19 in India and Maharashtra during the early stage of the outbreak, and compute estimates for basic measures of the infectiousness of the disease including the basic reproduction number, growth rate, and doubling time. Estimates of the basic reproduction number were found to be larger than 1 in both cases, with values taking a huge leap every months as they double their mutation rate. Estimates were also computed for the more dynamic effective reproduction number, which showed that since the first cases were confirmed in the respective countries the severity has generally been decreasing. The predictive ability of the machine learning algorithms was found to give a better fit and simple estimates of the daily incidence for the affected places. The following website gives us a particular idea about the entire covid situation in Maharashtra.

Abstract: COVID-19, also known as 2019-nCoV, is no longer a pandemic, but a pandemic that has killed more than 651,247 people worldwide. COVID-19 currently has no specific treatment or cure, so living with this condition and its symptoms is unavoidable. This fact has made it increasingly difficult for the world's health care system, especially in developing lands. Despite the fact that there is no effective or proven clinical trial of an antibacterial agent, Although there is no mandatory goal of ending the COVID19 epidemic, there are options that can help reduce the burden. Data development is not only limited health care programs but also economics. Famous learning, data mining, in-depth learning, and other practical strategies are examples. Other alternatives such as the 2019-nCoV epidemiological diagnosis and prognosis will be simplified. shrink, decision tree, vector support machine, Naive Bayes, and neutral network. Prior to the creation of the models, an analysis of the coefficient of correlation between different dependent and independent variables was performed to determine the interaction potential between each dependent element and independent data. Training data collection was used to train models 80 percent of the time, and the remaining 20% was used to test models.

Abstract: Malaria is a major public health issue that affects people all around the world. The diagnosis of red blood cells contaminated with insects under a microscope by a skilled specialist is a typical way of diagnosing malaria. This method does not function effectively, and the diagnosis is made based on the test taker's experience and expertise. Malaria blood tests have been using automated imaging technologies based on machine learning for early detection. However, thus far, practical performance is insufficient. The convolutional neural network CNN is used in this paper to present an innovative and resilient machine learning model. for automatically distinguishing single cells in tiny blood smears from normal microscope slides, such as infected or non-infected with this virus. Our new CNN model's average accuracy for 16 layers is 97.37 percent based on ten-fold confirmation using 27,578 single-image pictures. In the same photos, the learning transfer model only gets 91.99 percent. All performance indicators, such as sensitivity (96.99 percent vs 89.00 percent), clarity (97.75 percent vs 94.98 percent), accuracy (97.73 percent vs 95.12 percent), F1 school (97.36 percent vs 90.24) percent, and Matthew's correlation coefficient, demonstrate that the CNN model outperforms the transfer learning model (94.75 percent vs 85.25 percent).

Published: May 2022

Abstract: The first part of our project, "AUTOMATIC WORKPIECE INSPECTION CUM CONVEYOR," introduces material inspection and its diverse uses. The sensors are utilised to take measurements of the material dimensions, which are then sent to the control unit. The pneumatic cylinder receives the necessary signal from the control unit. The pneumatic cylinder is used to collect items of incorrect dimensions. In current engineering companies, automatic product control employing sensors is extremely useful for material handling. The conveyor is driven by the motor. Conveyors are used to transport items from one location to another. Infrared (IR) sensors are used to measure the dimensions at the top of the conveyor. This mechanism ensures that the belts are moved to the jobs in a seamless and timely manner. This is a very useful device for verifying dimensions such as length, width, and height in modern engineering businesses. After the work piece was evaluated by the IR sensor unit, the Counter unit was utilised to count the quantity of work pieces. A Microcontroller and an infrared sensor are used to detect the work piece in this counter unit. If the work piece is defective, the pneumatic cylinder next to the sensor will be triggered and the defective work piece will be removed and collected in the collecting tray. Using this advanced equipment eliminates the need for manual labour entirely.

La cultura de la convergencia en el marco del debate anglosajón entre la Economía Política de la Comunicación y los Estudios Culturales
Authors: Duquelsky Maximiliano
Published: May 2022

Durante los años noventa se desarrolló una controversia, dentro de los estudios en comunicación del mundo anglosajón, entre representantes de los Estudios Culturales y referentes de la corriente de la Economía Política de la Comunicación. En 2014, en el mundo hispanoparlante, este debate volvió a la escena académica de la mano de Christian Fuchs, quien desarrolló un cuestionamiento a tres libros adscriptos a la corriente de los Estudios Culturales. El propósito de este trabajo es, primero, sistematizar el debate original y, luego, realizar la misma operación con su versión más reciente. Finalmente, proyectar ambas controversias sobre el planteo de Henry Jenkins acerca de la “cultura de la convergencia”. Se entiende que la significación de esta operación analítica reside en que dicha categoría asume en forma extrema los planteos de los Estudios Culturales que son objeto del cuestionamiento de la Economía Política de la Comunicación. Estas cuestiones evidencian la importancia de analizar la comunicación y la cultura desde esta perspectiva.
Analytical framework for non-equilibrium phase transition to Bose–Einstein condensate
Authors: Shishkov V. Yu. , Andrianov E. S. , Lozovik Yu. E.
Published: May 2022

The theoretical description of non-equilibrium Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) is one of the main challenges in modern statistical physics and kinetics. The non-equilibrium nature of BEC makes it impossible to employ the well-established formalism of statistical mechanics. We develop a framework for the analytical description of a non-equilibrium phase transition to BEC that, in contrast to previously developed approaches, takes into account the infinite number of continuously distributed states. We consider the limit of fast thermalization and obtain an analytical expression for the full density matrix of a non-equilibrium ideal BEC which also covers the equilibrium case. For the particular cases of 2D and 3D, we investigate the non-equilibrium formation of BEC by finding the temperature dependence of the ground state occupation and second-order coherence function. We show that for a given pumping rate, the macroscopic occupation of the ground state and buildup of coherence may occur at different temperatures. Moreover, the buildup of coherence strongly depends on the pumping scheme. We also investigate the condensate linewidth and show that the Schawlow–Townes law holds for BEC in 3D and does not hold for BEC in 2D.

Published: May 2022

Background: Cancer diagnosis and its treatment may impair the long-term
body image of childhood cancer survivors. This may be particularly
relevant in adolescence, a critical period of psycho-social development.
We compared the body image between adolescent cancer survivors and their
siblings, and determined whether survivors’ body image is associated
with socio-demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, and
health conditions. Procedure: As part of the nationwide Swiss Childhood
Cancer Survivor Study, we sent questionnaires to adolescents (aged 16-19
years), who survived >5 years after having been diagnosed
with childhood cancer between 1976-2010. Siblings received the same
questionnaire. We assessed the level of agreement with three body image
statements referring to body satisfaction and preferences for changes.
Chronic health conditions were classified into cardiovascular,
pulmonary, endocrine, musculoskeletal, renal/ digestive, neurological,
and hearing or vision impairment. We used ordered logistic regression
models to identify determinants of a more negative body image. Results:
Our study included 504 survivors (48% female) with a median age at
study of 17.7 years (IQR 16.8-18.6) and 136 siblings. Survivors and
siblings reported overall comparable levels of the three body image
statements (all p>0.05). Female survivors (all ORs ≥ 1.7),
survivors treated with haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (all ORs
≥ 2.2), and survivors with ≥ 2 chronic health conditions (all ORs ≥ 1.4)
reported a more negative body image. This was particularly pronounced
for survivors suffering from musculoskeletal or endocrine conditions.
Conclusion: Clinicians should address body image concerns in adolescent
survivors with chronic conditions and offer psycho-social support if
necessary.

Background: Anaphylaxis following influenza vaccination is a rare but
serious problem. The underlying immune responses are not well
understood. This study elucidated the IgE and IgG antibody responses in
healthy children and adolescents following inactivated influenza
vaccines (IIVs). Methods: The efficacy and safety of quadrivalent IIV
(QIV) and trivalent IIV (TIV) were compared in healthy subjects aged
0-18 years. Serum IIV-specific IgE, IgG and IgG4 levels (sIgE, sIgG,
sIgG4) were measured with ImmunoCAP. Hemagglutinin inhibition (HI) assay
was performed for each influenza virus subtype. Sera from earlier
patients who developed anaphylaxis to different IIVs were similarly
tested. Results: A total of 393 subjects were enrolled: 96 were 6 months
-2 years old, 100 were 3-5 years old, 100 were 6-12 years old, and 97
were 13-18 years old. No anaphylaxis was observed. Generally, QIV and
TIV induced similar antibody responses. IIV-sIgE levels rose
significantly after vaccination in the 6m-2y and 3-5y groups, did not
change in the 6-12y group, and decreased in the 13-18y group. In
contrast, the IIV-sIgG4/sIgE ratio increased significantly after
vaccination in all age groups. Sensitized subjects had significantly
higher HI titers and IIV-sIgG levels in the youngest age group and
higher IIV-sIgG4 levels in all age groups compared with the
non-sensitized. The IIV-sIgG4/sIgE ratio in 5 patients with anaphylaxis
was significantly lower than in age-matched healthy subjects.
Conclusion: IIVs induce IgE sensitization in healthy children, but also
robust IgG4 responses that may protect them from anaphylaxis.

Background and purpose The translation of new injectable anaesthetic
drugs from rodent to humans remains slow, despite the realisation that
reliance on the volatile agents is unsustainable from an environmental
perspective. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of
rat sex and strain on the PK and PD of the anaesthetic neurosteroid
alfaxalone. Experimental approach Forty rats had cannulas inserted under
isoflurane anaesthesia for drug administration and sampling. Carotid
artery blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis, haematology,
biochemistry, and plasma concentrations of alfaxalone. Plasma samples
were assayed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Compartmental non-linear mixed effects methods (NLME) models were
applied to two rat populations to determine whether body weight, sex and
strain influenced PK parameters Key Results There were significant
differences between the sexes for plasma clearance, half-life and mean
residence time in Lewis rats and mean arterial blood pressure was
significantly lower in the female rats at 120 minutes. An initial NLME
PK population model was used to design an adjusted alfaxalone infusion
for SD females matching plasma concentrations in males and minimising
cardiopulmonary depression but maintaining an appropriate hypnotic
effect. A final NLME population model showed that alfaxalone clearance
was dependent on both bodyweight and sex whereas volume of distribution
was influenced by strain. Conclusion and implications NLME PK models
offer the advantage of having a single model that describes a population
and therefore shares data interpretation between animals unlike the
standard deterministic PK approach. This approach can be used to propose
bespoke dosing regimens for optimal use of alphaxalone.
Platelet Purinergic Receptors- Far from Home
Authors: G Jefry Winner , G Jesiha
Published: May 2022

Purinergic receptors are the ones that use nucleotides as their agonists
or antagonists. They have crucial role in platelets. Their physiological
role as well as pharmacological target for antiplatelet drugs are well
established and they have immense applications in clinical practice. But
today the same purinergic receptors over platelets were identified
elsewhere and they have been implicated in various health conditions.
So, this review focuses to explain the non-thrombotic uses of platelet
purinergic receptors
Minimum blind area model for auxiliary array optimization in interference cancellation
Authors: Guo Yu , Gao Hongzhang , Ge Songhu , Meng Jin
Published: May 2022

The auxiliary array optimization is the key to performance of
interference cancellation, especially for the wide operating frequency
of radio communication and unknown direction of interference. The blind
area rule is established and the minimum blind area model is proposed
for auxiliary array optimization. After deriving and simplifying the
analytical solutions of weights and signal-to-interference-noise ratio
after cancellation, the proposed rule inherits communicable index of
radio and requirements of anti-jamming, greatly reducing complexity. The
proposed algorithm focuses on minimizing blind area after cancellation
in view of this rule. Hence, it leads to a remarkable improvement of
optimization efficiency with different direction of arrival of
interference and wide-band operating frequency. Experiments based on
communication radio demonstrate that the minimum blind area model is
much efficient and promising for auxiliary array optimization of
anti-interference.
Mapping a tree: testing hypotheses about the evolution of parental care and parenting in ray-finned fishes
Authors: Crespo Ana , Robalo Joana
Published: May 2022

Actinopterygian fishes display considerable diversity of parental
behaviors and forms of parenting. In order to understand the
evolutionary history in the ray-finned fishes, both characters were
mapped, using parsimony ancestral state reconstruction upon an existing
supertree. According to the data, in this subclass, parental care and
parenting traits evolved from ancestors devoid of parental care or
parenting. The transition from the ancestral state to substrate
guarding, and that from the ancestral state to uniparental male care
were the most observed ones, whereas the remaining transitions recorded
low scores. Concerning the evolution of parental care, the data
supported the evolution of mouthbrooding from substrate guarding, whilst
external egg carrying arose from both substrate guarding and the
ancestral state, which suggested the lack of a unique evolutionary
pattern. Regarding the evolution of caregiver sex, the data did not
support the stepping-stone model since the complete predicted sequence
was not observed. In addition, the evolution of carer sex showed higher
diversity of transitions among states than recorded in the evolution of
parental care, suggesting the absence of a unique evolutionary pattern
fitting the entire subclass.

Parkinson's disease is a brain ailment that results in unintentional or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, rigidity, and problems with balance and coordination. The objective of this report to review of the clinical outcomes of deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease dementia patients, and discuss if deep brain stimulation could be a treatment alternative in these people. After surgery, all patients' motor symptoms improved significantly, as did some non-motor symptoms. However, in four patients, the motor gains lasted only 2 or 3 years before the patients deteriorated with the appearance of end-stage difficulties, despite the fact that there were more continuous benefits that could not have been attained with medical treatment. The surviving patient had a great response till the final follow-up, 7 years following surgery.

Authors:   Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul – PUCRS, Porto Alegre, RS, Peixoto Flauzino Jhonas Geraldo
Published: May 2022

To point out the neuroanatomic repercussions that the Post-COVID Syndrome triggers in individuals and address the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Literature review: COVID-19 is an acute viral respiratory disease. Post-COVID-19 Syndrome gets its name because it is a set of clinical manifestations that persist for longer than two or three weeks after the onset of symptoms. Among the related disorders, neuroanatomical sequelae stand out, such as injuries with the ability to generate significant morbidity and mortality. Final considerations: It is concluded that this syndrome is associated with relevant sequelae, such as in the Central Nervous System. There were descriptions of different neurological manifestations such as stroke, ageusia, headache, Guillain-Barré syndrome, encephalopathy, anosmia, and dizziness. It is essential to further studies to support patient management with the best evidence to reduce morbidities

Authors: Tsebe Andretta
Published: May 2022

The paper studies the relationship between the South African business cycle and the performance of the steel industry. The analysis was conducted by first providing a brief bibliometric review of the definitions used for business cycles in literature. From this initial analysis, emerging themes were used to define the narrative literature review on the relationship between business cycles, economic growth, and supply-demand of the steel industry. Findings from the review, indicate a binary relationship between economic growth and steel industry output. It is recommended that future studies be done on quantitative analysis of the binary and ternary relationships between economic growth and other primary manufacturing industries in South Africa.
The Confusing World of Cryptocurrency and Tax Compliance Issues
Authors: Crawford Constance , Crawford Corinne L. , Vallach Glenn C.
Published: May 2022

Subtitle A, of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), contains regulatory provisions regarding the federal taxes imposed on the income of both individuals and corporations. The IRC guidance is intended to provide a determination of all income that must be reported on tax returns and potentially could become subject to an income tax. A new form of currency, known as cryptocurrency appeared on mainstream trading platforms beginning in 2009. Bitcoin initially was the most widely recognized digital currency but other virtual currency versions soon followed. Initially, taxpayers mistakenly believed that cryptocurrency transactions were not subject to Subtitle A of the IRC. Therefore, crypto transactions were assumed to be non-taxable and non-reportable for tax purposes. However, within a few years of the introduction of Bitcoin into the US economic system, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) introduced tax guidance pertaining to cryptocurrency transactions. In 2014, the IRS responded with Notice 2014-21 as the popularity of Bitcoin grew exponentially. The IRC guidance stated that cryptocurrency must be treated as property for federal tax purposes. The tax implication of the IRS guidance was that cryptocurrency transactions would result in either a gain or loss for tax purposes on Schedule D. This guidance resulted in a recognition that all cryptocurrency transactions would be subject to federal income tax.
