Authors: Ngangom Ibomcha , Nisha M. M. , Kumar S. Santhosh , Ravindra K. V. , Tewari Leela , Sushmitha S.
Published: April 2019

Plants produce a wide range of organic compounds like sugars, organic acids and vitamins, which can be used as nutrients or signals by microbial populations. On the other hand, microorganisms release phytohormones, enzymes, which may act
directly or indirectly to activate plant immunity and regulate plant growth. Plant signalling molecules such as auxin and cytokinin can be produced by microorganisms to colonize efficiently with roots and enhance root activity. The isolated microbe
Bacillus aryabhattai, has the ability to produce1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase to lower plant ethylene level, often a result of various stresses, and is found to be a key component in the efficacious functioning of this bacterium.
The optimal functioning of this bacterium includes the synergistic interaction between ACC deaminase, and plant with bacterial indole-3-acetic acid (IAA).

Authors: Chandi Ravinder SIngh , Gill B. S.
Published: April 2019

Aphids (Myzus persicae) are one of the most important pest of celery, which is cultivated for its fleshy leafstalks, seeds and essential oil. Aphids suck sap from the plant and reduce yield. Also, they transmit viral diseases and contaminate
celery produce with honeydew. Some safer insecticides namely flonicamid 50 WG @ 150, 175 and 200 g/ha, imidacloprid 200 SL @ 75, 100 and 125 ml/ha, thiamethoxam 25 WG @ 75, 100 and 125 g/ha and acetamiprid 20 SP @ 37.5, 50 and 62.5 g/ha were
evaluated for their efficacy against aphids. Population of aphids per inflorescence before spray varied from 12.03 to 13.20. All the treatments were significantly better than control. On all observation dates flonicamid @ 175 and 175 and 200 g/ha,
imidacloprid @ 100 and 125 ml/ha, thiamethoxam @ 100 and 125 g/ha, acetamiprid @ 50 and 62.5 g/ha were statistically better in reducing aphid population than other treatments. Highest seed yield of 11.30 q/ha was obtained with flonicamid50 WG @ 200
g/ha which was statistically at par with imidacloprid 200 SL @ 100 and 125 ml/ha, thiamethoxam 25 WG @ 100 and 125 g/ha and acetamiprid 20 SP @ 50 and 62.5 g/ha and flonicamid50 WG @ 175 g/ha.

Introduction. The total endoprosthesis replacement is a main method of treatment of congenital dislocation of hip. However, significant disorders of joint, resistant muscular contractures create technical complications under operation and force to apply various surgical tactics. Methods. The analysis was implemented concerning results of Crowe total endoprosthesis replacement in 69 patients with one-sided high hip dislocation type IV operated on the basis of traumatological orthopedic department of Saratovskii research institute of traumatology and orthopedics during 2010-2015. The treatment of patients was implemented using original genuine technique including total endoprosthesis replacement of hip joint combined with double V-subtrochanteric osteotomy. Results. The pathological types of implantation in operated hip joint are absent. On the whole, one can notice amelioration of bio-mechanical indices: cycle of step, period of double support, coefficient of rhythm. Among systemic complications of total endoprosthesis replacement one is to mark out phlebothrombosis established in 3 patients (7.1%) that was conditioned by sedentary state of patients. Among specific complications one stated dislocation related to inobservance of restrictive orthopedic regimen in 1 (2.4%) patient. None case of instability of prosthesis and difference in length of extremities in average periods of observation more than on 0.5 cm was established. This is a proof of effectiveness of developed technique of correcting V-subtrochanteric osteotomy. Therefore, the proposed technique of femoral bone osteotomy permitted to ameliorate the results of treatment and to diminish number of complications. The applied technique permits to obtain satisfactory clinical and technical results of surgical treatment of patients with high hip joint dislocation. The osteotomy permitted to eliminate difference in length of bones of patients and at that to ameliorate conditions for union of distal and proximal fragments of femur bone at the expense of larger surface of their contact.

Published: April 2019

The problem of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of lungs is actual and has no tendency to be resolved. The chronic obstructive disease of lungs is characterized by multitude of systemic manifestations. However, mechanisms of development of edematous syndrome under chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of lungs are studied insufficiently. The purpose. To study pathogenetic mechanisms of development of edematous syndrome in patients suffering of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of lungs. Material and methods. The sampling of 35 patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive disease of lungs was used to analyze structure and functions of heart, gas composition of arterial blood, functional conditions of kidneys. The cohort of patients was separated on group A and group B depending on response to start therapy. The patients with weak response to start therapy continued to receive respiratory support as an addition to medicinal therapyThe results. The groups of patients are comparable on anamnestic and clinical parameters. The patients of group B suffered from intensive edematous syndrome, and more intensive cyanosis. The patients from group A suffered from less intensive edema. The edema was present not in all patients. The parameters characterizing functional condition of heart had no group difference. The disturbances of gas composition of arterial blood and function of kidneys were less intensive in group B than in group A. The analysis of correlations established that intensity of edematous syndrome is directly related to velocity of glomerular filtration and velocity of glomerular filtration depended on parameters of gas exchangeConclusion. In patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of lungs at retained systolic function of left ventricle development of edematous syndrome is conditioned by renal dysfunction.

Published: April 2019

The DMEK technique is applied five times more rarely than DS(A)EK despite that DMEK provides higher functional result. The main causes are technical "convolution" of implementation, long period of training, accompanied by prolonged operations, higher reject control of donor's tissue, increased rate of dependency of endothelium and mismatch of transplant. Therefore, an efficient technique is needed similar to DMEK though simpler than DMEK.The purpose of study. To analyze the results of implantation of Descemet's transplant (DMET) in patients with endothelium dystrophy of cornea (Fuchs) on the basis of limited clinical observations.Material of study. In two years, DMET was implemented to 12 patients. The study included 6 patients with average age of 60±18 years (from 29 to 80 years). All female patients had primary endothelial dystrophy and one male patient had secondary endothelial dystrophy. The visual acuity prior to DMET in average made up to 0,2±0,2 (from 0,01 to 0,5). The average CTR according optical coherent eye tomography made up to 685±53 µm (from 622 to 749 µm). Results. Within available periods of observation, resorption of edema of cornea takes place in 4 patients (67%) and visual acuity increased from average 0,2±0,1 to 0,45±0,3. In various periods density of endothelium cells varied from 549 to 689 kl per mm2. The indices of optical coherent eye tomography decreased from pre-operational 685±53 µm to 553±15 µm. Conclusion. The results testify efficiency of DMET. The period of restoration of transparency of cornea can vary from 1 to 6 months. The indices of density of endothelium cells are inferior to indices after DMEK. Also, DMET is ineffective in case of secondary dystrophy and at most efficient on previously non-operated eyes.
Rumo a uma teoria da midiatização: exercício conceitual e metodológico de sistematização
Authors: Martino Luis Mauro Sá
Published: April 2019

O conceito de midiatização tem sido empregado de maneira crescente nos estudos de Comunicação nas últimas duas décadas. Embora suas concepções variem conforme a autora ou autor, parece haver elementos comuns que permitem delinear uma noção de midiatização, a partir da qual podem ser construídas derivações teóricas e metodológicas. A partir de pesquisa bibliográfica, o trabalho explora esses pontos similares que parecem sugerir a midiatização como (a) a articulação, não “influência” ou “efeitos”, entre a (b) mídia, entendida, simultaneamente, como instituição, tecnologia e linguagem e (c) práticas sociais, compreendidas como ações cotidianas em seu contexto histórico, econômico e social. Essa perspectiva é contextualizada nas Teorias da Comunicação, como alternativa a alguns modelos transmissivos que destacam a separação entre “mídia” e “sociedade”.
Memória no Santuário de Fátima: um estudo discursivo sobre a narrativa das aparições
Authors: Souza Carolina Moraes , Moraes Francilaine Munhoz de
Published: April 2019

Neste artigo, investigamos o processo de rememoração no espaço de confluência entre os campos da História e do Jornalismo. A pesquisa se constrói com base em estudo conceitual sobre acontecimento e temporalidade, e metodologia de análise discursiva. O estudo de caso analisa reportagens publicadas pela revista Sábado sobre os bastidores da visita do papa Francisco ao Santuário de Fátima, em Portugal, em maio de 2017. Como resultados, a pesquisa revela: a paráfrase das aparições de Fátima entrelaça o passado ao futuro, por meio da narrativa do presente; a comemoração do centenário é o acontecimento-espetáculo, cuja temporalidade funde passado, presente e futuro e permite abrigar o símbolo dos fenômenos de Fátima; o espaço do Santuário, cidade onde se realiza a celebração, permite conservar o símbolo do acontecimento histórico – sacralização da repetição – e, como lócus de memória, o entrelaçar das temporalidades.

HABITAR E PULSAR: A INTEGRAÇÃO DO SER NO MUNDO É DANÇA
Authors: Canelhas Larissa , Deffaci Kátia Salib
Published: April 2019

Este artigo relata o processo de criação da obra de dança intitulada Habitar e Pulsar: A Integração do Ser no Mundo é Dança. A metodologia da pesquisa acontece com a prática das abordagens somáticas de movimento e também com os estudos fenomenológicos de Bachelard(1999), que descreve a integração do ser no mundo através da imagem da casa, sendo ela em três bases: Porão, Térreo e Sótão. Os estudos fenomenológicos propiciaram a poética e o estudo do movimento nas abordagens somáticas proporcionou o ato da criação de uma obra de dança, embasada e vivida com o corpo, legitimando o processo de se construir conhecimento. O resultado foi a prática da pesquisa como confirmação potente dos estudos somáticos e da criação em dança como um espaço de múltiplos saberes.

Circular-Axial Representation of Human Evolution and Development in the Integral Theory: Educational Implications
Authors: Gallifa Josep
Published: April 2019

Integral Theory has become a common framework in different contexts to integrate the diverse consciousness manifestations. The wide use and discussion of this meta-theory in the most varied fields encourage the possibility of proposing enhancements in their conceptualization. This paper presents, for instance, a complementary aspect, which is an alternative way of representation: the circular-axial. The article discusses why this new way of representation is appropriate to the meta-theoretical concepts and why it has some advantages compared to the more popular representation of the four quadrants. Although compatible with the traditional representation, we argue that it fits better with other concomitant theories, and at the same time is equally explicative of the Integral Theory basics. Once described in detail, the new way of representation helps in the clarification of the different manifestations of consciousness as they are explained by the holonic theory. This development provides new intuitions to holistic/integral educational approaches addressed to human evolution and development. Finally, it is useful to characterize their corresponding educational roles.

The general function of a multilevel inverter is to synthesize a desired output voltage from several levels of dc voltages as inputs. In order to increase the steps in the output voltage, a new H- bridge topology is recommended which benefits from a series connection of several sub-multilevel inverters. In addition, for producing an output voltage with a constant number of steps, there are different configurations with a different number of components. In this paper, the optimal structures for H- bridge topology are investigated for various objectives such as minimum number of switches and dc voltage sources and minimum standing voltage on the switches for producing the maximum output voltage steps. Two new algorithms for determining the dc voltage sources magnitudes have been proposed. Finally, in order to verify the theoretical issues, simulation results for 25 level inverter with a maximum output voltage of 120V are presented.

Using web-based statistical method the author searches the following issues:  the dynamics of interest in the subject of a legal deposit copy from the date of adoption of the Law on the German National Library (2006) to nowadays;  relations of the public interest peak changes in this topic to certain phenomena in the social and cultural life of Germany;  the federal dimension of these issues when comparing interest to the topic in different regions of Germany;  the public opinion on the popularity of legal copy among traditional and electronic sources.   The article is divided into four parts. The first one sets the work objective and main tasks, gives a general description of the chosen research method. The second part deals with the process of creating a semantic dictionary; analyzes traditional and electronic sources of synonymic dictionaries. It describes the strengths of such an online language matching service as semager.de. The third part dissects a group of keywords related to the topic of a legal deposit copy along with the most interesting and problematic, from the point of the author’s view, additional keywords such as the German National Library, network publications, and disserta­tions. Using web statistical tools the paper shows that the most intense issues regarding the legal deposit, the problems of the German National Library and online publications were raised in the lands of West Germany. Developing the legal deposit copy system will go, first of all, through online publications, greater cooperation with academic and scholar libraries; open access of scientific data and publications related to dissertations and theses of West German lands’ universities. The fourth part presents main conclusions and substantiates the method significance for library and sociological research.
The problem of the transition from oral communications to written ones: based on the Ancient Greek literature
Authors: Pleshkevich E. A.
Published: April 2019

The article is devoted to the problem of transition in Ancient Greece from oral culture to written one. Most foreign and domestic researchers associate the duration and instability of this transition with 1) peculiarities of organizing the political power, 2) the anthropomorphic specifics of Greek culture. The author proposes to analyze applying oral and written communications in the key works of such ancient Greek writers as Homer (Iliad, Odyssey), Hesiod (Theogony), Aeschylus (Petitioner), Aristophanes (Birds), as well as philosophical works of Plato (Fedr).  It is established that the Ancient Greek authors, despite the possession of writing, guided in their works on oral communication and such forms of confidence in oral communication as personal testimony, religious oath, reinforcing all this belief in a possible religious punishment. As a result, the Ancient Greek authors either ignore or portray as secondary written communication in the absence of specially created institutional forms of trust. The author proposes an original hypothesis, in the context of which he explains this phenomenon by the inability of institutional forms of confidence created for oral communications to perform its function in the transition to written communications and «slows down» the transition process. The author’s hypothesis is based on the theory of documentary information, in which context the final transition to written communi­cations was completed only after the creation of institutional forms of confidencein written communications in the form of archives and libraries.

Does Despair Really Kill? A Roadmap for an Evidence-Based Answer

Published: April 2019

Two seemingly associated demographic trends have generated considerable interest: income stagnation and rising premature mortality from suicides, drug poisoning, and alcoholic liver disease among US non-Hispanic Whites with low education. Economists interpret these population-level trends to indicate that despair induced by financial stressors is a shared pathway to these causes of death.

Although we now have the catchy term “deaths of despair,” we have yet to study its central empirical claim: that conceptually defined and empirically assessed “despair” is indeed a common pathway to several causes of death. At the level of the person, despair consists of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and biological domains. Despair can also permeate social relationships, networks, institutions, and communities.

Extant longitudinal data sets feature repeated measures of despair—before, during, and after the Great Recession—offering resources to test the role that despair induced by economic decline plays in premature morbidity and mortality. Such tests must also focus on protective factors that could shield individuals. Deaths of despair is more than a phrase; it constitutes a hypothesis that deserves conceptual mapping and empirical study with longitudinal, multilevel data.

Objectives. To compare blood lead levels (BLLs) among children residing in public and private housing in New York City and examine the implications for lead identification and remediation policies.

Methods. We examined electronic medical records for BLLs among 4693 children receiving care at a multisite Federally Qualified Health Center during 2003 to 2017. We plotted home addresses against city housing data to assess BLL differences between children living in public housing and private housing.

Results. Only 0.25% of children residing in public housing had BLLs exceeding the upper reference limit of 5 micrograms per deciliter, as compared with 2.76% of children residing in private housing. After adjustment for age, gender, and race/ethnicity, public housing was associated with 92% lower odds of having a BLL of 5 micrograms per deciliter or above (odds ratio [OR] = 0.08; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.02, 0.33; P = .001). Decreases in BLLs were observed in both public and private housing over time.

Conclusions. Children living in public housing in New York City were significantly less likely to have elevated BLLs than were children living in private housing. Decreases in BLLs over time were likely a result of lead reduction legislation.
The Analysis of Age and Experience of Incident Victims: A Case Study in Japan to Improve HSE Training Programs
Authors: Shimoda Hiroka
Published: April 2019

How can a company improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) training? This paper, based on an analysis of the victims of incidents over the last ten years, discusses strategic allocation of training resources to high-risk groups of workers.

The scope of the study encompassed domestic operations of Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd., including contractors, involving incidents resulting in Medical Treatment Cases or more severe cases that took place between 2008 and 2017. The victims’ ages and years of experience were extracted from sixty-eight incident reports.

This study revealed that the median age of the victims was 35.5 years and median length of experience was 6.0 years. Half of the victims were either 35 years old or younger or their experience level was less than 6 years. Furthermore, the correlations between the victims’ ages and years of experience indicated that the younger and the less experienced workforce accounted for 43% of the total incidents.

A comparison with government statistics implies that the frequency of incidents is higher in workers who are younger and less experienced. According to Japan's Labor Force Survey, the population of employed persons aged 15 to 34 years accounts for only 29% of the total Japanese working-age population. Moreover, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry reported a trend that 42% of the victims of mining incidents across the country had less than five years of experience, which reaffirmed the trend that prevails across the industry.

Providing more intensive and/or frequent training to the young and the less experienced workforce must be a resource-efficient approach to improve HSE performance. Targeted training will be more effective and beneficial for participants than "one size fits all" HSE awareness sessions. HSE planners in organizations should carry out studies based on their company's incident databases to obtain specific results that will be useful for the further evolution of HSE training programs.

The study was carried out with the financial support of the grant of the President of the Russian Federation for state support of young Russian scientists - candidates of science (MK- 6409.2018.6). The extraction of oil, gas and other natural resources is carried out in the extreme natural and climatic conditions of the Far North and the Arctic, which causes additional difficulties in their development and ensuring the safety of the production process. People adapt differently to such conditions in different ways, which makes it necessary to take this into account when building a personnel management and labor protection system. The research aim is the development and approbation of technologies for the development of psychological readiness for shift work in the Arctic conditions for students of the Higher School of Energy, Oil and Gas to improve their adaptability, efficiency, safety and satisfaction with their work.

As methods, there were psychological training and active forms of training, as well as questionnaires, interviews and psychological testing of students. The result of this work is the developed and approved program of trainings of students of the Higher School of Energy, Oil and Gas to improve their psychological competencies. Our presentation will show the experience of training both young specialists working on the oil and gas fields, as well as students of the senior courses for a number of psychological competencies. These include: the ability to solve complex and non-standard situations during the shift period (not only professional, but also household), the development of stress resistance, increased communication skills, a change in attitude towards one's activities, increased responsibility for safety at production facilities, etc. All technologies are presented in the form of trainings and practical exercises. The presentation will also present a project for the implementation of an out- of-school scientific and practical school for students "Work on the Shift: Success and Health".
Wellness Hub Transformation: From Transactional to Holistic Care
Authors: Canon-Sacuan Kitchie , Rivera Rose
Published: April 2019

A healthy and empowered workforce is the backbone of every thriving organization. Shell companies in the Philippines considers its people as its main asset – its over 4,000 employees who enable the company to continuously operate critical economic assets and deliver products and services that fuel the activities of its customers and the nation.

Thus, Shell makes it a priority to foster a workplace that is nurturing and where employees can perform to their full potential. Guided by the results of the Shell People Survey, an annual survey that determines the pulse of the Shell employees, as well as feedback from face-to-face business engagements and ad hoc medical consultations, Shell Health develops strategic interventions to promote employee welfare.

One of the initiatives borne out of this need was the transformation of its clinics to Wellness Hubs – centers of care that offer a personalized and holistic approach to employee wellness, deviating from the traditional and transactional style of rendering health services. This transformation stems from the recognition of Shell employees’ preference for customized approaches.

To date, this effort has translated to improved personal engagements and follow-through, recording 74% uptake of Wellness Talk during medical interpretation visits versus 21% previous. Further, 68% of Shell Philippines employees have committed to health targets, versus 5% previous, and among those with committed targets, 19% successfully achieved their health targets within 3-6 months. There is now 100% reach to employees based in remote locations, versus 50% previous reach, and 93% of them have committed to health target versus previous 10% health target commitment.
Global Travels in the Oil Industry: Managing Threats and Risks Through Orientation and Scenario Monitoring

The Oil industry is present in several segments and services spread all over the world. Although Petrobras operates predominantly in Brazil, its headquarters, it does business and operates in virtually every continent on the planet. Consequently, its professionals move to the most distant and remote places, where, in general, there is no local support from the Company. Thus, there are more challenges and complexities inherent to Petrobras’ corporate travels, as well as the likelihood of incidents is higher. Given the accelerated growth in travel demands and the consequent increase in employees traveling around the world, it was necessary to develop a dedicated internal process for international travel control. The process includes guidance to employees on security aspects before, during and after the travel, mitigation actions and support to employees at risk, as well as a channel for integration with other areas related to travel security. This article reflects the company's cultural change in reinforcing its commitment to life and safety, by creating a process and assigning a team dedicated to the care of travelers abroad, and identifies the need for improvement in parallel processes in order to improve their integration, the monitoring of scenarios and of external environments. The data that supports the article also supports the thesis that all the work of transforming the process and investing in prevention and guidance to employees only with the differential of internal production and adaptation to the Company's culture is feasible with low cost. This article reinforces the need to align travel security activities with the culture of the company and its employees so both can speak the same language and not create cultural gaps.
Single-cell transcriptomics reveals spatial and temporal turnover of keratinocyte differentiation regulators

Published: April 2019

Background: Keratinocyte differentiation requires intricately coordinated spatiotemporal expression changes that specify epidermis structure and function.

Results: This paper utilizes single-cell RNA-seq data from 22,338 human foreskin keratinocytes to reconstruct the transcriptional regulation of skin development and homeostasis genes, organizing them by differentiation stage and also into transcription factor (TF)-associated modules. We identify groups of TFs characterized by coordinate expression changes during progression from the undifferentiated basal to the differentiated state and show that these TFs also have concordant differential predicted binding enrichment in the super-enhancers previously reported to turn over between the two states. The identified TFs form a core subset of the regulators controlling gene modules essential for basal and differentiated keratinocyte functions, supporting their nomination as master coordinators of keratinocyte differentiation. Experimental depletion of the TFs ZBED2 and ETV4, both predicted to promote the basal state, induces differentiation. Furthermore, our single-cell RNA expression analysis reveals preferential expression of antioxidant genes in the basal state, suggesting keratinocytes actively suppress reactive oxygen species to maintain the undifferentiated state. Finally, we perform in-silico lineage tracing demonstrating transcriptomic correspondence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) to a basal keratinocyte subpopulation and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to a rapidly proliferating stage that is intermediate between the basal and differentiated cell states, implicating distinct candidate cells of origin for these cancers.

Conclusion: Our work demonstrates diverse computational methods integrating single-cell and bulk RNA expression data to advance our understanding of dynamic gene regulation in normal development and in disease.

Published: April 2019

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major public health concern worldwide. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are an important source of transmission of MRSA. We conducted a prospective study to define the frequency of MRSA nasal colonization in HCWs in relation to the intensity of patient contact.

Methods: Prevalence of MRSA and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) nasal colonization in HCWs was compared. These included an emergency department, intensive care unit, out-of-hospital care emergency medical technicians and students, and a long-term care facility (LTCF). The MRSA isolates were further identified by their microbiological and molecular characteristics.

Results: S. aureus was isolated from 63 of 248 HCWs (25.4%). The overall MRSA nasal carriage rate was 15/248, 6%. Most MRSA carriers were female (14/15, 93.3%), and HCWs who had worked for ≥5 years (11/15, 73.3%). LTCFs had the highest prevalence (3/25, 12%). In contrast, the overall carriage of MSSA was 48/248, 19.4%, and most carriers worked for ≥5 years (25/48, 52.1%). Hospital nurses had the highest rate of MSSA carriage (22/103, 21.4%). Most of the MRSA isolates were SCCmec IV/ST59 or ST45 (60%), and were resistant to erythromycin and clindamycin (53%). Only one MRSA was chlorhexidine resistant. All produced low level of biofilms.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates important differences in the characteristics of nasal carriage of MRSA and MSSA among HCWs. Inclusion of all strains of S. aureus in surveillance and infection control programs is warranted.
