Il Rinascimento
Authors: Michelet Jules
Published: January 2020

With this publication, for the first time, the French historian Jules Michelet’s (1798-1874) Renaissance, the 7th volume of his Histoire de France au seizième siècle (1855), is translated into Italian thanks to Leandro Perini, who has also noted it, a further difference with the French editions. The city of Florence welcomed the freshly published work within its Gabinetto Vieusseux, arousing lively curiosity (as shown by the loan registers). Later, in 1870, it welcomed the Author as well. Michelet, after being exiled from Napoleonic France, moved to Florence, then the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, and was welcomed by his Italian friends (Amari, Villari, the publisher Le Monnier). Michelet’s Renaissance was composed in a moment of particular creativity, and born from a brilliant intuition: the contact, or rather the shock following the French invasion of Italy, started with Charles VIII, the impact of a backward country like France against the refined civilization of Italy. The Renaissance, besides being a masterpiece of the romantic historiography in France, was the fruitful seed of contemporary historiography, which, from Bloch to Febvre and from Braudel to Le Goff, has often referred to his work. A distinguished historian and, therefore, a masterpiece. A heroic banner, almost.

In the world of programming, deep learning methods of convolutional neural networks (CNN) may be very rarely heard, because this method was only popular around 2015, and this time I will conduct an experiment using this method, where I will conduct experiments on identification systems leaf image whose application is almost similar to a face recognition system, the leaf image identification system itself consists of detection and classification stages. Both of these stages are done so quickly by humans but it takes a long time for the computer. The application also uses MATLAB 2018a software with the CNN method we can find out the image data classification and can do the process of identifying images properly.
SASS: South African Simulation Survey – a review of simulation-based education
Authors: Swart R , Duys R , Hauser ND
Published: January 2020

Background: Simulation-based education (SBE) has been shown to be an effective and reproducible learning tool. SBE is used widely internationally. The current state of SBE in South Africa is unknown. To the best of our knowledge this is the first survey that describes the use and attitudes towards SBE within South Africa. Methods: An online survey tool was distributed by email to: i) the South African Society of Anaesthesiologists (SASA) members; and ii) known simulation education providers in South Africa. The respondents were grouped into anaesthesia and non-anaesthesia participants. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Ethics approval was obtained: HREC REF 157/2017. Results: The majority of the respondents provide SBE and integrate it into formal teaching programmes. There is a will amongst respondents to grow SBE in South Africa, with it being recognised as a valuable educational tool. The user groups mainly targeted by SBE, were undergraduate students, medical interns, registrars and nurses. Learning objectives targeted include practical skills, medical knowledge, critical thinking and integrated management. Amongst anaesthesia respondents: the tool most commonly used to assess the quality of learner performance during SBE, for summative assessment, was ‘expert opinion’ (33%); the most frequent methods of evaluating SBE quality were participant feedback (42%) and peer evaluation (22%); the impact of SBE was most frequently assessed by informal discussion (42%) and learner feedback (39%). In anaesthesia SBE largely takes place within dedicated simulation facilities on site (47%). Most respondents report access to a range of SBE equipment. The main reported barriers to SBE were: finance, lack of trained educators, lack of equipment and lack of protected time. A limited number of respondents report engaging in SBE research. There is a willingness in both anaesthesia and non-anaesthesia groups (96% and 89% respectively) to collaborate with other centres. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge this publication provides us with the first cross-sectional survey of SBE in anaesthesia and a selection of non-anaesthetic respondents within South Africa. The majority of respondents indicate that SBE is a valuable education tool. A number of barriers have been identified that limit the growth of SBE within South Africa. It is hoped that with a commitment to ongoing SBE research and evaluation, SBE can be grown in South Africa.

Published: January 2020

Background: Refractive errors and eye diseases are the main core issues in the jail inmates in Pakistan and especially in Punjab province but with best efforts the ophthalmic disorders can be controlled with the help of better screening process for refractive errors, presbyopia, low vision and the general ophthalmic disorders that are found among the jail inmates. The over burden of these ailments can be minimized following a comprehensive screening methods time to time using slandered guidelines approved by WHO.

Methodology: A plan was executed for basic necessary screening process to find out the ophthalmic diseases and vision problems. A team of ophthalmologist, optometrists and ophthalmic technicians visited inmates in the jail who presented with any eye problem in this 1-day screening. Auto refraction and manual retinoscopy was done. Visual cut off point was 6/12. Ophthalmic eye medication and glasses (spectacles) was provided free of cost.

Results: a total of 270 inmates were examined in the eye camp. The study showed prevalence of refractive errors 4% with a significant high ratio of presbyopia 34% as 79%of inmates were more than 40 year of age. Prevalence of other main eye disease was: conjunctivitis 3%, glaucoma 1% and cataract 2%.

Conclusions: There is an urgent need to look into matter of presence the eye diseases and refractive errors found among jail inmates as they fall in the category of marginalized community and the health care provided with ease has no provision the general eye health care. So it is an important issue to lodge a comprehensive effective initiative for the provision of that need mentioned above and a training program for the medical staff of jail hospitals to screen out this community for effective screening knowledge in Primary Eye care.

Authors: Mazhar Syed Abdullah , Malik Tayyaba gul , Ali Aalia , Nadeem Hina
Published: January 2020

Objectives: To find out a relationship of diabetic retinopathy with ankle-brachial (ABI) in patients of type 2 diabetes.

Material and Methods

It was a cross-sectional observational study carried out in Arif Memorial Teaching hospital and Rashid Latif Medical College from January 2019 to June 2019. 120 patients were selected by purposive convenient sampling from outpatient department of Arif Memorial Teaching hospital. After clinical history, complete ocular examination was performed. Random blood sugar levels were measured using Glucometer. Ankle-brachial index was calculated by dividing the systolic pressure at ankle by the systolic blood pressure at arm.

Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 25. Independent sample t test and chi square tests were used to find out the significance of the results.

Results:

In this study of 120 diabetic patients, 80 (66.7%) were female and 40 (33.3%) were males. Mean Ankle Branchial Index (ABI) of Males was 0.96±0.11 and for females was 0.97±0.14.Among 120 participants of this study, 73 (60.83 %) patients had no signs of diabetic retinopathy, 35 (29.16 %) patients had NPDR and 12 (10%) patients had PDR. ABI was not associated with gender and duration of diabetes.However, there was negative and weak linear relationship between BSR and ABI (r= -0.221). This correlation was higher in diabetics of less than 5 year duration (r=-0.286) than in patients of more than 5 years duration of diabetes (r=-0.129). 

Conclusion:

Our study indicates that ABI is not significantly related with diabetic retinopathy. However, there is a positive relationship of ABI with high blood sugar levels.

A curious case of an orbit lesion in a young girl
Authors: Alkhairy Saba
Published: January 2020

To present a case report of a 15 year old girl presenting with a slow growing mass in the orbit with normal visual acuity. We followed the patient for a year and closely observed the increase in the size of the mass for over a year both clinically and radiologically. The mass grew gradually with no effect on her visual acuity which was 6/6 in both eyes using Snellen chart; pupillary reactions were normal with no afferent papillary defect and her extraocular movements were full. Her anterior segment and posterior segment of the eye including the optic disc and macula and the intra ocular pressure remained within normal limits. We then had to intervene surgically on request of the patient  as the mass had caused significant cosmetic disfigurement .It was a combined effort by an ENT and an eye surgeon for the effective and complete removal of the lesion.We did a frontal orbitotomy under general anesthesia and the mass recovered was sent for biopsy. The biopsy report concluded the mass to be juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma.

Authors: Malchikova Anna O. , Klyasova Galina A.
Published: January 2020

Objective.

To evaluate the biofilm formation by isolates of Candida spp. obtained from blood culture in patients with or without hematological malignancies.
Materials and Methods.

Biofilm formation by Candida spp. was determined by the method of Pierce C. and Tumbarello M. Isolates with optical density (OD) >0.1 were considered as biofilm-forming.
Results.

A total of 109 isolates of Candida spp. (C. albicans [n=22], C. parapsilosis [n=22], C. tropicalis [n=22], C. krusei [n=21], C. glabrata [n=22]) obtained from patients with or without hematological malignancies (55 and 54 isolates, respectively) were studied. Biofilm formation was determined in 54% of Candida spp. isolates (n=59). Biofilm production was observed more often in non-albicans species compared to C. albicans (60% versus 32%, p=0.02). The incidence of biofilm formation was significantly higher in isolates of C. tropicalis (82%) and C. krusei (81%) compared to isolates of C. parapsilosis (50%), C. albicans (32%), and C. glabrata (27%) (p<0.05). The leading biofilm-forming species were C. tropicalis and C. krusei in the both patient cohorts. Biofilm production was more frequent in C. parapsilosis isolated from patients with hematological malignancies compared to patients without hematological malignancies (73% versus 27%, p=0.03). The lowest incidence of biofilm formation was found in C. albicans (18%) isolated from patients with hematological malignancies and C. glabrata (18%) isolated from patients without hematological malignancies.
Conclusions.

Biofilm formation varied among the Candida spp., with the highest incidence in C. tropicalis (82%) and C. krusei (81%). There were differences in the biofilm formation incidence among Candida spp. isolated from patients with or without hematological malignancies.

Published: January 2020

Objective.

To evaluate epidemiological efficacy of the 10-valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccine (PCV10) as assessed by the number of episodes of respiratory tract and ENT diseases and by the number of antibiotic courses prescribed for those diseases in children under 5 years of age in Barnaul.
Materials and Methods.

At the end of 2016, a total of 312 children under 60 months of age were enrolled into a retrospective cohort epidemiological study and divided into 2 cohorts (156 children each). The first cohort consisted of the children who received at least 2 doses of PCV10; the second cohort consisted of the age-matched children who didn’t receive any pneumococcal vaccines. Reporting and assessment of any episodes of acute respiratory diseases, rhinitis, tonsillitis, adenoiditis, pharyngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, acute otitis media, and sinusitis as well as any antibiotic courses administered for those conditions were performed in the both cohorts by a review of the children’s medical records. The quartile method was used to assess data distribution. The differences in the incidence of respiratory tract and ENT diseases and antibiotic consumption between the two cohorts were assessed using chi-square test.
Results.

Comparative analysis of morbidity and incidence of antibiotic prescriptions showed significant differences between vaccinated and non-vaccinated children (p<0.05). The PCV10 efficacy as assessed by reduction in the number of antibiotic courses was 52.7% (95% CI: 43.7-61.6) and reduction in the incidence of the respiratory tract and ENT diseases was 34.1% (95% CI: 31.1-37.0).
Conclusions.

The use of PCV10 in children is associated with reduced incidence of respiratory tract and ENT diseases and reduced antibiotic consumption administered for those diseases.

Impact of beet quality on sugar manufacture Part 1. General considerations of the technological beet quality
Authors: de Bruijn Jan Maarten
Published: January 2020

Without doubt, the sugar content is the major quality parameter of sugar beets. The amount of sugar which can be crystallized as white sugar in processing is often predicted using empirical formula. These formulas are usually based on the potassium, sodium and amino-nitrogen content of the beets. The amount of sugar that cannot be crystallized (i.e. the sugar contained in molasses) is related to these internal quality parameters. However, from a process technology perspective other beet quality parameters play an important role too and may have a considerable impact on the efficiency of beet processing and thus production costs. The first part of this paper presents an overview of the technologically considered important external and internal beet quality parameters and how they affect processing.

Influencing Active Sport Tourists' Loyalty to Event and Destination
Authors: Yoo Joanne Jung-Eun , Newland Brianna , Lee Woojin
Published: January 2020

The value for an active sport tourist is directly embedded in the cocreation of his/her experience with the event and the destination. This study argues that individual travel resources enable an active sport tourist to create value with the event organization and, through flow-on tourism,
the destination provider. The study explores the impact of the active sport tourists' travel resources on the cocreation of the event experience by testing whether they influence the event and/or the destination loyalty. Understanding these interrelationships is imperative, as the active sport
tourists' loyalty can help achieve a competitive advantage for the event and the destination service providers. A survey of 649 active sport tourists was conducted. The results indicated that sport event attributes played a role in the creation of the active sport tourists' experiences through
sharing and integrating of their travel resources. The findings also showed that the event loyalty of active sport tourists enhances their destination loyalty. The study suggests that destination marketers should exploit the sport event by bundling destination attributes that extend opportunities
for cocreation that may lead to lengthened stays and more spending at the event destination.

Authors: Kayombo Canisius John , Ndangalasi Henry Joseph , Mligo Cosmas , Giliba Richard Alphonce
Published: January 2020

Image Forest Reserve (IFR) in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania is known for its high floristic diversity within the various land cover types. The study was conducted from August to October 2019 to determine the floristic diversity in IFR. A total of 170, 20m x 40m were systematically set at an inter-plot interval of 250 m within the land cover types. Plants were identified for their botanical names, determined for A, and herbarium specimens were collected and identified later at the DSM herbarium and NHT in Arusha. Also, 2m x 5m nested subplots were set to determine shrubs and saplings, while 1m x 1m were laid for non-woody plants and tree seedlings. The Shannon index of diversity (H') and index of dominance (ID) were calculated using the H’ and ID indices; plant species evenness (J′) was also calculated. ANOVA was used to compare species composition parameters among the different land cover types. A total of 502 plant species were identified in IFR. Woodland had the largest number of plant species (38.0%) followed by trees (31.0%), shrubland and grassland (21.9%) and bare land and rocks (9.1%). The forest had the largest number of trees (115) followed by woodland (93), shrubland and grassland, and bare land and rocks had the least species diversity. The woodland had the largest relative abundance (50.3%), trailed by forest (38.9%), shrubland and grassland (8.8%), and bare land and rocks (1.9%). The H’, A, ID and J’ showed a significant difference within the forest, woodland, shrubland and grassland, and bare land and rocks. The largest plant species diversity group had an H' < 0.0195 (230 - plant species). The medium group H' ranged from ≥ 0.0195 - ≤ 0.0504 (55-plant species), and the largest H' group ranged from ≥ 0.0649 - ≤ 0.3358 with only 10 plant species. The plant species with the largest abundance had also the largest H’, and D, and hence were suggested to be the most abundant. The A, number of species (S), H’, and ID were suggested to differ significantly within the land cover types. The floristic diversity findings establish their presence and create awareness towards the conservation strategy priorities for Tanzania Forest Agency. The survey team recommends further research on biological species of IFR, participatory forest management to stimulate the sense of ownership responsibility, implementation of laws and bylaws, land cover types gaps restoration, introduction of non-woody income-generating projects, provision of regular education to the community, awareness creation on forest resources conservation, ensure permanent boundaries beacons.
Reversible photoswitching of the DNA-binding properties of styrylquinolizinium derivatives through photochromic [2 + 2] cycloaddition and cycloreversion

Published: January 2020

It was demonstrated that styrylquinolizinium derivatives may be applied as photoswitchable DNA ligands. At lower ligand:DNA ratios (≤1.5), these compounds bind to duplex DNA by intercalation, with binding constants ranging fromKb= 4.1 × 104M to 2.6 × 105M (four examples), as shown by photometric and fluorimetric titrations as well as by CD and LD spectroscopic analyses. Upon irradiation at 450 nm, the methoxy-substituted styrylquinolizinium derivatives form the correspondingsynhead-to-tail cyclobutanes in a selective [2 + 2] photocycloaddition, as revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis of the reaction products. These photodimers bind to DNA only weakly by outside-edge association, but they release the intercalating monomers upon irradiation at 315 nm in the presence of DNA. As a result, it is possible to switch between these two ligands and likewise between two different binding modes by irradiation with different excitation wavelengths.

Analytic Marginalization of Absorption Line Continua
Authors: Tchernyshyov Kirill
Published: January 2020

Absorption line spectroscopy is a powerful way of measuring properties of stars and the interstellar medium. Absorption spectra are often analyzed manually, an approach that limits reproducibility and which cannot practically be applied to modern data sets consisting of thousands or even millions of spectra. Simultaneous probabilistic modeling of absorption features and continuum shape is a promising approach for automating this analysis. Existing implementations of this approach use numerical methods such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo to marginalize over the continuum parameters. When continua are parameterized as linear functions such as polynomials or splines, it is possible to reduce continuum parameter marginalization to an integral over a multivariate normal distribution, which has a known closed form. Analytic marginalization makes it possible to combine optimization for absorption line parameters with marginalization of nuisance continuum parameters. We compare the accuracy to within which absorption line parameters can be recovered using different continuum placement methods and find that marginalization with an informative prior on continuum parameters is a clear improvement over other continuum placement methods over a broad range of signal-to-noise ratios. We implement analytic marginalization over linear continuum parameters in the open-source package amlc.

The Dearth of Differences between Central and Satellite Galaxies. III. Environmental Dependencies of Mass–Size and Mass–Structure Relations
Authors: Wang Enci , Wang Huiyuan , Mo Houjun , van den Bosch Frank C. , Yang Xiaohu
Published: January 2020

As demonstrated in Paper I, the quenching properties of central and satellite galaxies are quite similar as long as both stellar mass and halo mass are controlled. Here, we extend the analysis to the size and bulge-to-total light ratio (B/T) of galaxies. In general, central galaxies have size–stellar mass and B/T–stellar mass relations different from satellites. However, the differences are eliminated when halo mass is controlled. We also study the dependence of size and B/T on halo-centric distance and find a transitional stellar mass (

) at given halo mass (M

h
), which is about one-fifth of the mass of the central galaxies in halos of mass M

h
. The transitional stellar masses for size, B/T and quenched fraction are similar over the whole halo mass range, suggesting a connection between the quenching of star formation and the structural evolution of galaxies. Our analysis further suggests that the classification based on the transitional stellar mass is more fundamental than the central–satellite dichotomy, and provides a more reliable way to understand the environmental effects on galaxy properties. We compare the observational results with the hydrodynamical simulation, EAGLE, and the semianalytic model, L-GALAXIES. The EAGLE simulation successfully reproduces the similarities of size for centrals, satellites, and even

, while L-GALAXIES fails to recover the observational results.

With the growth of the human population, non-timber forest products of animal origin, such as grasshoppers, could be an approach to the solution of food shortage. The variegated grasshopper is an edible insect and an agricultural pest in several African countries. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, the level and reasons of consumption and non-consumption of this grasshopper in different ethnic groups in the south part of Cameroon. An individual structured survey, conducted from January to February 2018, among ten ethnic groups revealed that 99% of the participants know the variegated grasshopper. It has 22 local names, withmba’assana as the most common name. This grasshopper is mainly used for consumption (93.7%) and the level of consumption is higher among the Mbamois, Bulu, Ntumu, Pygmies and Maka people. It is used as medicine (3.9%), to treat splenomegaly, umbilical hernia, and to prevent rheumatism and benign prostatic hypertrophy. It is also used in traditional rites (0.6%) (Eton) and as a source of income (0.6%) (Ewondo). People consume the variegated grasshopper mainly because of its good taste and high nutritional value (73.24%). The adult is the stage mostly consumed when fried. The Bassa also consume the larvae (6%). Those who refuse the insect mostly talk of its bad odour and that its consumption can lead to the appearance of various pathologies (3.6%) such as cramps, stomach pain, paralysis, allergy, diarrhoea, nerve pain, abdominal pain, poisoning, vomiting and death. The repellent gland could be involved in the toxicity related to the consumption of this grasshopper. For the Bulu people, poor cooking is a risk factor. Further studies are needed on the potential risks of the variegated grasshopper before it could be recommended for general human consumption.
Integrating insect frass biofertilisers into sustainable peri-urban agro-food systems

Published: January 2020

The larvae of black soldier fly (BSF) have shown great promise in transforming organic wastes into a more valuable larval biomass. Importantly, after insects have been harvested the remaining by-product, comprised of the spent substrate and frass (insect faeces), has the potential to be used as a biofertiliser. Three field-scale experiments to investigate whether frass biofertilisers (made from either poultry waste, brewery waste or green market waste) could be successfully incorporated into current small-holder farming practices were undertaken in Ghana, West Africa. In general, BSF frass biofertilisers performed as well as the local practice of amending Zaï planting pits with chicken manure, or incorporating uniformly broadcast fertilisers. For short-cycle cash crops such as chilli pepper and shallots, brewery waste biofertilisers performed better than poultry waste biofertilisers, particularly when added in combination with inorganic NPK fertilisers. For maize, green market waste biofertiliser did not significantly improve yield at applications of either 5 or 10 t/ha, even when combined with inorganic fertilisers. However, frass biofertiliser amendment did significantly reduce the loss of cowpea plants due to Fusarium wilt disease. We hypothesise that the fragments of chitin (originating from 4-5 larval moults) in frass biofertilisers can induce disease resistance in crop plants grown in biofertiliser-amended soil. The benefit of frass as a by-product of insect larvae production can increase the profitability of this burgeoning industry in developing countries, and provide employment opportunities and self-sufficiency in the nutrient supply chain by integrating organic waste management and insect farming into peri-urban agro-food systems.
Detection of mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi in cereal grains using vibrational spectroscopic techniques: a review

Published: January 2020

Nutrition-rich cereal grains and oil seeds are the major sources of food and feed for human and livestock, respectively. Infected by fungi and contaminated with mycotoxins are serious problems worldwide for cereals and oil seeds before and after harvest. The growth and development activities of fungi consume seed nutrients and destroy seed structures, leading to dramatic declines of crop yield and quality. In addition, the toxic secondary metabolites produced by these fungi pose a well-known threat to both human and animals. The existence of fungi and mycotoxins has been a redoubtable problem worldwide for decades but tends to be a severe food safety issue in developing countries and regions, such as China and Africa. Detection of fungal infection at an early stage and of mycotoxin contaminants, even at a small amount, is of great significance to prevent harmful toxins from entering the food supply chains worldwide. This review focuses on the recent advancements in utilising infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and hyperspectral imaging to detect fungal infections and mycotoxin contaminants in cereals and oil seeds worldwide, with an emphasis on recent progress in China. Brief introduction of principles, and corresponding shortcomings, as well as latest advances of each technique, are also being presented herein.

Authors: Chandra Parijat , Kumawat Devesh , Agarwal Divya , Chawla Rohan
Published: January 2020

Purpose:

To study the role of combined vitrectomy and intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injection for stage 4 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with extensive neovascular proliferation.

Methods:

In a retrospective interventional study at a tertiary eye care center, 15 eyes (9 infants) with advanced stage 4 ROP underwent 25-gauge vitrectomy combined with intravitreal 0.625 mg of bevacizumab (n = 12) or 0.25 mg of ranibizumab (n = 3) injection and were followed up until 65 weeks' postconceptional age (PCA). The perinatal history, tractional retinal detachment (TRD) characteristics (zone, stage, and presence of “plus” disease), treatment details, and anatomical outcomes were reviewed. The main outcome measures were fibrovascular tissue and TRD regression and final macular status.

Results:

Mean gestational age and birth weight were 28.5 ± 1.2 weeks and 1,167 ± 185 g, respectively. Thirteen eyes had zone I disease and 2 eyes had zone II disease. Thirteen eyes were stage 4A and 2 eyes were stage 4B ROP. The morphology was aggressive posterior ROP in 10 eyes. The mean PCA at surgery was 37.8 ± 2.3 weeks. Lensectomy was also performed in 2 eyes. Rapid fibrovascular tissue regression was seen in 14 eyes within 2 weeks, followed by TRD regression and macular vascularization, although 2 eyes had macular pucker formation. Persistent vitreous bleeding was present in 1 eye, which needed lavage, and eventually the TRD regressed. Disease reactivation was noted in 1 eye at 5 weeks and was managed with repeat intravitreal anti-VEGF injection.

Conclusions:

Anti-VEGF treatment combined with vitrectomy leads to rapid disease regression in advanced stage 4 ROP with extensive neovascular proliferation.
