Influence of Academic Qualifications, Place of Employment and Prior Research Experience on Physiotherapy Research Practice
Authors: Thomas Peter , Williams Marie , Lipman Jeffrey
Published: August 2021

An increasing number of physiotherapists are undertaking research activities, but the level of overall awareness and understanding of ethical research practices is unknown. The aim of this study was to describe physiotherapist's knowledge of good research practices. Physiotherapists who presented abstracts at an Australian Physiotherapy Association conference in 2003/2004 were surveyed (n = 184, response rate = 55%). Excluding literature reviews, the majority of abstracts involved humans (95%), with 89% of these having human research ethics committee (HREC) approval. Only eight (6%) experimental research papers involving humans did not seek or gain HREC approval. Despite the high level of HREC approval, only 47% (n = 83) of respondents had read or referred to ethical documents governing research in Australia. For guidance on ethical considerations in research, 30% (n = 53) of respondents indicated a primary reliance on colleagues, 36% (n = 65) would use local HREC guidelines alone and 32% (n = 58) would use HREC guidelines in conjunction with other ethical guidelines. Responses indicated that place of employment, academic qualifications and prior research involvement impact on a physiotherapist’s ability to apply for research funding and progress research to completion through publication. This survey has implications for tertiary training programs, research supervisors, clinicians and physiotherapy managers.

ABSTRACT

 This study aims to: 1) Provide understanding to the wider community of the principles contained in Pancasila, 2) To educate the public about the importance of implementing Pancasila values in daily activities. This study uses a literature study method that collects various information and facts from several documents related to the research question, namely Pancasila and its implementation in society. As an ideological concept for the nation, Pancasila is formed from the superior values of the Indonesian nation which are the basis of belief in achieving the goals and ideals of the nation. Pancasila contains values or principles that are useful to be applied and implemented in daily activities in the community. As citizens of Indonesia, it is necessary to pay attention to and realize the importance of implementing Pancasila values so that bad things such as conflicts and divisions do  not occur. The existence of cases of conflict and division is a result of the lack of awareness of citizens of the importance of Pancasila as a guide to achieve the goals and ideals of the nation.

ABSTRACT

The problem of handling Human Rights against Indigenous Papuans can be seen by the existence of violence and violations of human rights in all aspects of the lives of Indigenous Papuans in a systematic, sustainable and unstoppable manner. politics where the more indigenous Papuans are involved in politics, the faster the resolution of human rights in Papua because of the large number of representatives who are fighting for the liberation of the Papuan people, meaning that in this problem the Political Rights of Papuan Indigenous People in the National Legislative Body need to get support and protection of human rights on the ground Papua has not been able to run properly due to various indicators that have not been able to run properly. These indicators include the absence of a representative of the National Human Rights Commission; human rights courts, and truth and reconciliation commissions as well as the absence of special fund allocations in the field of human rights in the context of implementing the Special Autonomy Law in Papua, not only that this regulation does not work properly so that it has the potential to be increasingly unstoppable for human rights violations, in its implementation Human rights protection cannot run properly considering that in this regulation there is still uncertainty regarding the meaning, relationship, and purpose of the norms contained in the Papua Special Autonomy Law as well as unclear and limited special powers intended in the Autonomy Law Papua Special. This study emphasizes normative legal research and is balanced by looking at the condition of human rights violations in Papua by multiplying several literacies.

Tragédia histórica e drama romântico
Authors: Esteves Gabriel
Published: August 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é recuperar a tragédia histórica como gênero reconhecidamente romântico, quer dizer, como gênero que atende às expectativas de intelectuais identificados com o romantismo nas primeiras décadas do século XIX (Staël, Manzoni, Schlegel, Stendhal, Lebrun, Delavigne etc.), que antecipa e compartilha várias características com o drama (mistura de gêneros, desrespeito às unidades clássicas, realismo histórico, enriquecimento de decoração e figurino, complexificação da trama etc.) e, enfim, que mantém um evidente comércio com o drama e o melodrama durante todo o século, não raro com eles dividindo os mesmos palcos e atores. Para tanto, recorro à análise da recepção jornalística feita à peça Le Cid d’Andalousie, de Pierre Lebrun, encenada em 1825, e argumento contra a concepção amplamente difundida de que o teatro romântico se identifica exclusivamente com o drama tal qual proposto por Victor Hugo, em 1827, no célebre prefácio ao Cromwell, e que a tragédia pertence apenas à tradição clássica.

Sugere-se a classificação como “criticamente ameaçada” para a espécie no estado do Rio Grande do Sul e recomenda-se a sua inclusão na lista de espécies ameaçadas da fauna no estado.
A critical evaluation of cloth bead sculptures made by rural female artists in Kwazulu-Natal (1970 to 1999)
Authors:   , Khanyile Isaac Nkosinathi
Published: August 2021

Cloth bead sculptures are art objects made by female artists from cloth, beads, wood, wire and other materials that are stitched by hand. They are freestanding representations of the human figure, animals and inanimate objects and have traditionally been important ritual, as well as aesthetic, objects in Zulu communal life. The research for this dissertation was based on qualitative methods which brought together information from the women discussing their life and work. These discussions with individuals and groups looked at the women's own explanations of their work, including its traditional, ritual and communicative functions in rural Kwa Zulu Natal. They also discussed their experiences in selling their artwork in relation to the past discriminatory practices of apartheid South Africa, which was the context for their lives. From the 1970s some rural women brought some of these figures to Durban for sale in the streets to supplement their meagre resources. Later the African Art Centre became the main retail outlet for selling African Art and Craft and white people associated with it became the 'official' spokespersons and interpreters of such their art work. This had the consequence of depriving the rural women artists of their own voice. They were thus not able to give their own interpretation and explanation of their work. Interpretation of these sculptures in the dissertation has taken into account the traditional communicative role of bead figures and the symbolic function of colours, patterns and textures created by the beads and other materials. Cloth bead figures brought in for sale to local and international buyers always represented more than simple decorated figures to the artists themselves. Indeed these bead figures, like other works of art produced by black South Africans.

Published: August 2021

The concrete structures deterioration in the last few decades required effective methods for evaluating and maintaining the structure condition. Currently, assessing the performance and safety of reinforced concrete (RC) structures relies on routine-based visual inspection (VI). However, there are another non-destructive test (NDT) technique that can provide a more accurate assessment of the structures. Thus, in this study, a footbridge located in Liverpool, UK is chosen as a case study and has NDT techniques used for assessment. The main objective of this research is to determine the condition of structural bridge components and investigate its level of defect and deterioration using non-destructive tests. The methodologies involved are visual inspection, and NDT techniques include the rebound hammer, cover meter, Moisture Content & Depth of Carbonation Testing, Chloride Testing and Half Cell Test. The framework, when implemented with the best selection of NDT techniques, helps in determining the level of defect and deterioration of the structural bridge components and next recommendation regarding the condition of the bridge. The involved bridge structural components include column, deck, wall and staircase. Findings from the visual inspection show that there were many defects and deteriorations found at the structural bridge components, which includes crack, spalling, and delamination and rusting. Further, NDT techniques that were carried out at the selected bridge structural part shows that some of the components exhibited a moderate risk of corrosion and acceptable concrete surface quality. In general, further maintenance is needed specifically to some critical structural components of the bridge.

Published: August 2021

Public bus transit travel time is affected by many factors, including traffic signals and traffic condition. Transit agencies have implemented transit signal priority (TSP) strategies to reduce transit travel time and improve service reliability. However, due to the lack of empirical data, these factors' collective impact and bus travel time strategies have not been studied at the stop-to-stop segment level. This research focuses on the factors affecting travel time reliability, emphasising the variability between operators and the policy implications of such differences. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistical methods have been used to assess the quality implications of public bus transportation time reliability. This research seeks to investigate the factors affecting the travel time (TT) reliability of bus transport. Studies were conducted along three bus routes serving different areas. Factors strongly related to TT reliability include route length, number of signalised intersections, day of the week, bus stops, departure delays, bus lane, passenger boarding and alighting, weather condition, and fare structure. Based on the proposed model factors affecting TT reliability, it was found that TT is strongly affected by the number of bus stoppings and also the length of the route. The reliability of all three routes during the weekday is low because of delays in departure. The number of signalised intersections along the route affects reliability. Meanwhile, more passengers boarding and paying cash increased the travel time reliability of buses.

Published: August 2021

The feasibility of utilizing waste material for road construction is encouraging as it can decrease waste material harmful to the environment. Hence, a more sustainable method and a meticulous study of the available admixtures utilized to substitute standard asphalt binders with waste material must be conducted. However, there are several concerns and doubts about the real situation arising from the chemical and physical traits, as well as the mechanical performance issuing from the integration of waste material within the asphalt pavement to alleviate roads surface's permanent deformation. This investigation was carried out to study physical improvements made on ACW-14 bitumen by adding waste Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) to serve as a partial replacement for bitumen content compared to normal, conventional 80/100 bitumen physical and rheological behavior. PET percentage added to the bitumen content was 10%, 8%, 6%, 4% and 2% of optimum bitumen content weight. The outcomes concluded that the best performance of bitumen on its density, VTM, VFB, flow, stability, and stiffness was achieved when 5.8% of Optimum Modified-Bitumen Content using PET. All the results obtained have been compared according to JKR Standards results, and the conclusion has fulfilled these requirements.
IgA nephropathy and celiac disease: pathogenetic relationship of diseases and the possibility of a gluten-free diet
Authors: Манцаева М.Е. , Борисов А.Г. , Смирнова М.А. , Стремоухов А.А.
Published: August 2021

По данным мировой литературы IgA-нефропатия чаще всего рассматривается как идиопатическая форма первичного гломерулонефрита, однако в ряде случаев заболевание может носить вторичный характер и быть патогенетически связанным с патологией печени (цирроз любой этиологии), легких (саркоидоз и др.), системными и аутоиммунными заболеваниями (геморрагический васкулит, системная красная волчанка и др.), а также с воспалительными заболеваниями кишечника (болезнь Крона, неспецифический язвенный колит, целиакия). В контексте возможного улучшения исходов нефропатии, а также новых терапевтических подходов особое внимание вызывает ассоциация IgA-нефропатии с целиакией, принимая во внимание имеющиеся данные о потенциальных патогенетических связях между этими заболеваниями, где глютен у части пациентов, по-видимому, является триггерным фактором в развитии гломерулонефрита. По данным мировой литературы распространенность целиакии в общей популяции составляет 0,5-1% в зависимости от географического региона и увеличивается до 4% у пациентов с IgA-нефропатией. Влияние целиакии на клиническое течение IgA-нефропатии, изучение возможных патогенетических механизмов взаимосвязи, перспективы и возможности аглютеновой диеты в лечении IgA-нефропатии определяют актуальность темы обзора.

According to the world literature IgA nephropathy is most often considered as an idiopathic form of primary glomerulonephritis, however, in some cases, the disease can be secondary and pathogenetically associated with liver diseases (cirrhosis of any etiology), lung diseases (sarcoidosis, etc.), systemic and autoimmune diseases (hemorrhagic vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.), as well as inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease). In the context of possible improvement in the outcomes of nephropathy, as well as new treatment methods the association of IgA nephropathy with celiac disease is particularly noteworthy. There is evidence of potential pathogenetic links between these diseases, where gluten in some patients is probably a trigger factor in the development of glomerulonephritis. According to the world literature, the prevalence of celiac disease in the general population is 0,5-1%, depending on the geographical region, and increases to 4% in patients with IgA nephropathy. The influence of celiac disease on the clinical course of IgA nephropathy, the study of possible pathogenetic mechanisms of the relationship, the prospects and possibilities of the gluten-free diet in the treatment of IgA nephropathy determine the relevance of the review topic.

В статье обобщены сведения о заболеваниях и состояниях, оказывающих влияние на процессы нормального заживления после деструктивных вмешательств на покровных тканях стопы, представлены современные данные литературы, посвященные этим вопросам. Неадекватная оценка состояния пациента перед проведением планового деструктивного вмешательства на нижних конечностях может привести к формированию длительно незаживающего раневого дефекта и нарушению функции конечности. Проведение деструктивного вмешательства требует настороженности в отношении ряда заболеваний и состояний, влияющих на процессы нормального заживления, таких как сахарный диабет, метаболический синдром, иммунодефицит. Особое внимание в статье уделено оценке состоятельности кровотока нижних конечностей в связи с тем, что хроническая артериальная недостаточность является одной из наиболее значимых причин замедленного течения репаративных процессов в области стоп. Представлено собственное клиническое наблюдение, иллюстрирующее отсутствие нормальной регенерации в условиях гипергликемии и хронической артериальной недостаточности нижних конечностей.

The article summarizes information about diseases and conditions that affect the processes of normal healing after destructive interventions on the integumentary tissues of the foot, presents modern literature data on these issues. An inadequate assessment of the patient's condition before a planned destructive intervention on the lower extremities can lead to a long-term non-healing wounds and dysfunction of the extremity. A destructive intervention requires attention to a number of diseases and conditions that affect normal healing processes, such as diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and immunodeficiency. Particular attention is paid to the assessment of the consistency of the blood flow of the lower extremities because chronic arterial insufficiency is one of the most significant reasons for the slow reparative processes in the foot area. The authors present their own clinical observation that illustrates the absence of normal regeneration in conditions of hyperglycemia and chronic arterial disease of the lower limbs.

Esse artigo apresenta a fundamentação teórica da construção e evolução do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) a partir das contribuições de vários pensadores que influenciaram nesse alicerce filosófico, assim como aponta e analisa as questões inerentes a organicidade do conjunto de sua prática política. Está dividido em duas partes: na primeira são revisitados alguns pensadores e filósofos e suas relações com a militância do Movimento. Em seguida, é analisada a atuação do Movimento, considerando a ideia equivocada de que um grupo social que milita e atua politicamente, o faz sob a desordem, se movimenta sem regras e sem quaisquer padrões organizacionais. Pretende-se mostrar que é possível identificar as conexões com o pensamento complexo: a ordem e a desordem cooperando para a organização e complexidade.
Study of different Carbon Bond 6 (CB6) mechanisms by using a concentration sensitivity analysis
Authors: Cao Le , Li Simeng , Sun Luhang
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Since the year 2010, different versions of the Carbon Bond 6 (CB6) mechanism have been developed to accurately estimate the contribution to air pollution by the chemistry. In order to better understand the differences in simulation results brought about by the modifications between different
versions of the CB6 mechanism, in the present study, we investigated the behavior of three different CB6 mechanisms (CB6r1, CB6r2 and CB6r3) in
simulating ozone (O3), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and formaldehyde (HCHO) under two different emission conditions by applying a concentration sensitivity analysis in a box model. The results show that when the surface emission is weak, the O3 level
predicted by CB6r1 is approximately 7 ppb higher than that predicted by CB6r2 and CB6r3, specifically due to the change in the sink of acyl peroxy radicals with high-order carbons (i.e., species CXO3) in the mechanism and the difference in the ozone dependence on the isoprene emission. In contrast, although CB6r1 estimates higher values of NOx and HCHO than the other two mechanisms at an early
stage of the simulation, the levels of NOx and HCHO estimated by these three CB6 mechanisms at the end of the 7 d
simulation are mostly similar, when the surface emission is weak. After the increase in the surface emission, the simulated profiles of O3, NOx and HCHO obtained by CB6r2 and CB6r3 were found to be nearly the same during the simulation period, but CB6r1 tends to estimate substantially higher values than CB6r2 and CB6r3. The deviation between the O3 levels provided by CB6r1 and the other two CB6
mechanisms (i.e., CB6r2 and CB6r3) was found to be enlarged compared with the weak-emission scenario because of the weaker dependence of ozone on the emission of isoprene in CB6r1 than those in CB6r2 and CB6r3 in this scenario. Moreover, HCHO predicted by CB6r1 was found to be larger than those predicted by CB6r2 and CB6r3, which is caused by an enhanced dependence of HCHO on the emission of isoprene in CB6r1. Regarding
NOx, it was found that CB6r1 gives a higher value than the other two mechanisms, which is caused by the relatively stronger
connection between the NOx prediction and the release of NO and NO2 in CB6r1 due to the change in the product of the reaction between isoprene and NO3 in CB6r1. Consequently, more emitted NOx is involved in the reaction system denoted
by CB6r1, which enables a following NOx formation and thus a higher NOx prediction of CB6r1.
Significance of uncertain phasing between the onsets of stadial–interstadial transitions in different Greenland ice core proxies
Authors: Riechers Keno , Boers Niklas
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Different paleoclimate proxy records evidence repeated abrupt climate
transitions during previous glacial intervals. These transitions are thought
to comprise abrupt warming and increase in local precipitation over Greenland,
sudden reorganization of the Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation, and
retreat of sea ice in the North Atlantic. The physical mechanism underlying
these so-called Dansgaard–Oeschger (DO) events remains debated. A recent
analysis of Greenland ice core proxy records found that transitions in
Na+ concentrations and δ18O values are delayed by
about 1 decade with respect to corresponding transitions in Ca2+
concentrations and in the annual layer thickness during DO events. These
delays are interpreted as a temporal lag of sea-ice retreat and Greenland
warming with respect to a synoptic- and hemispheric-scale atmospheric
reorganization at the onset of DO events and may thereby help constrain possible triggering mechanisms for the DO events. However, the explanatory
power of these results is limited by the uncertainty of the transition onset
detection in noisy proxy records. Here, we extend previous work by testing the
significance of the reported lags with respect to the null hypothesis that the
proposed transition order is in fact not systematically favored. If the
detection uncertainties are averaged out, the temporal delays in the
δ18O and Na+ transitions with respect to their
counterparts in Ca2+ and the annual layer thickness are indeed
pairwise statistically significant. In contrast, under rigorous propagation of
uncertainty, three statistical tests cannot provide evidence against the null
hypothesis. We thus confirm the previously reported tendency of delayed
transitions in the δ18O and Na+ concentration
records. Yet, given the uncertainties in the determination of the transition
onsets, it cannot be decided whether these tendencies are truly the imprint of
a prescribed transition order or whether they are due to chance. The analyzed
set of DO transitions can therefore not serve as evidence for systematic
lead–lag relationships between the transitions in the different proxies, which
in turn limits the power of the observed tendencies to constrain possible
physical causes of the DO events.

Published: August 2021

In order to increase the scientific and technological return of the Artemis I mission, NASA has directed the SLS Program to accommodate Secondary Payloads on board of the Space Launch System (SLS), to be deployed with the Orion capsule; among them, ArgoMoon cubesat has been selected as European contribution. It is a 6U platform designed by Argotec on behalf of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and will be released from the launch vehicle Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS). The main objectives of the satellite are: i) taking photographs to document the ICPS after the deployment of the Orion capsule and the deployment of the other secondary payloads mounted on-board; ii) taking photographs of the Earth and the Moon; iii) validate guidance and autonomous targeting technology and iv) verifying a new technology for power distribution, satellite data acquisition and processing suitable for nanosatellite volume. In fact, the cubesat will be the first national spacecraft working in near Deep Space and operated through a Ground Segment mainly based in Italy.ArgoMoon design is based on the HAWK platform, designed by Argotec following an “all in-house” concept. Some of the main features of this platform are the focus on rad-hard subsystem components, a high level of autonomy capability supported by artificial intelligence, and the scalability towards larger bus sizes.Early after deployment, ArgoMoon will be able to operate autonomously and perform SLS tracking and proximity flight navigation, making use of a complex image recognition algorithm based on artificial intelligence. These operations are carried out by two optical payloads and the obtained photography will be used to support the NASA and payload communities in providing information regarding the status of their deployment and the condition of the second stage as it completes the final phase of its mission. After that, ArgoMoon will be operative for another six months for technological validation and Moon observation purposes.During the communication windows throughout the entire satellite lifetime, ArgoMoon will be operated and monitored entirely by the Argotec Mission Control Centre, connected to the Deep Space Network (DSN). The Flight Control Team (FCT) will follow the flight operations with in-house developed software able to plan and validate in orbit activities, verifying the on-board.After a successfully integration and test campaign, the cubesat has been shipped to USA for the filling activities on the propulsion tanks and the final delivery to NASA for the integration in the SLS, expected in July 2021.The results of this mission will strongly contribute to future of Space Exploration based on small satellite platforms in Deep Space.
Intrinsic non-stationarity of carbon dioxide turbulent fluxes in the urban boundary layer
Authors: Liu Lei , Shi Yu , Hu Fei
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Stationarity is a critical assumption in the eddy-covariance method that is widely used to calculate turbulent fluxes. Many methods have been proposed to diagnose non-stationarity attributed to external non-turbulent flows. In this paper, we focus on intrinsic non-stationarity (IN) attributed to turbulence randomness. The detrended fluctuation analysis is used to quantify IN of CO2 turbulent fluxes in the downtown of Beijing. Results show that the IN is widespread in CO2 turbulent fluxes and is a small-scale phenomenon related to the inertial sub-range turbulence. The small-scale IN of CO2 turbulent fluxes can be simulated by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process as a first approximation. Basing on the simulation results, we find that the average time should be greater than 27 s to avoid the effects of IN. Besides, the non-stationarity diagnosis methods that do not take into account IN would possibly make a wrong diagnosis with some parameters.

Published: August 2021

There is a need to investigate the role of muscle architecture on muscle damage responses induced by exercise. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of muscle architecture and muscle length on eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage responses. Eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage was performed randomly to the elbow flexor (EF), knee extensor (KE), and knee flexor (KF) muscle groups with two week intervals in 12 sedentary male subjects. Before and after each eccentric exercise (immediately after, on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th days) range of motion, delayed onset muscle soreness, creatine kinase activity, myoglobin concentration and isometric peak torque in short and long muscle positions were evaluated. Furthermore, muscle volume and pennation angle of each muscle group was evaluated before initiating the eccentric exercise protocol. Pennation angle and muscle volume was significantly higher and the workload per unit muscle volume was significantly lower in the KE muscles compared with the KF and EF muscles (p < 0.01). EF muscles showed significantly higher pain levels at post-exercise days 1 and 3 compared with the KE (p < 0.01-0.001) and KF (p < 0.01) muscles. The deficits in range of motion were higher in the EF muscles compared to the KE and KF muscles immediately after (day 0, p < 0.01), day 1 (p < 0.05-0.01), and day 3 (p < 0.05) evaluations. The EF muscles represented significantly greater increases in CK and Mb levels at day 1, 3, and 7 than the KE muscles (p < 0.05-0.01). The CK and Mb levels were also significantly higher in the KF muscles compared with the KE muscles (p < 0.05, p < 0.01 respectively). The KF and EF muscles represented higher isometric peak torque deficits in all the post-exercise evaluations at muscle short position (p < 0.05-0.001) compared with the KE muscle after eccentric exercise. Isometric peak torque deficits in muscle lengthened position was significantly higher in EF in all the post-exercise evaluations compared with the KE muscle (p < 0.05-0.01). According to the results of this study it can be concluded that muscle structural differences may be one of the responsible factors for the different muscle damage responses following eccentric exercise in various muscle groups.

Self-massage using foam rollers, sticks, or balls has become a popular technique to enhance joint range of motion (ROM). Although increases are reported to be larger in females than males, the mechanisms of this observation are unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of roller massage (RM) on ROM, passive tissue stiffness, and neurophysiological markers as a function of sex. Males (n = 15, 22.8 ± 2.9 yrs.) and females (n = 14, 21.1 ± 0.7 yrs.) performed three 60-second bouts of calf RM. Outcomes assessed pre-, and post-intervention included passive dorsiflexion (DF) ROM, passive tissue stiffness, passive torque, DF angle at the first stretch sensation, shear elastic modulus, and spinal excitability. DF ROM (+35.9 %), passive torque at DF ROM (+46.4 %), DF angle at first stretch sensation (+32.9 %), and pain pressure threshold (+25.2 %) increased in both groups (p<.05) with no differences between males and females (p > 0.05). No changes were observed for passive stiffness, shear elastic modulus, and spinal excitability (p > 0.05). Roller massage may increase ROM independently of sex, which, in the present study, could not be ascribed to alterations in passive stiffness or neurophysiological markers. Future studies may further elucidate the role of sensory alterations as possible factors driving RM-induced changes in flexibility.

Time "mechanization" and Thomas Carlyle
Authors: Chitanava Lali
Published: August 2021

English historian,publicist and philosopher Thomas Carlylesle(1795-1881) created a lot of valuable works,but researchers mark out his critical Essays and among them “Signs of Time” is the best.In this work the writer tries to make the reader active.He describes Victorian period,uses intellectual heroes of the past and is against Mechanisation of the present.He gives many arguments for perfect description in order to maintain a contact with a reader and to make it clear for the reader the meaning of Mechanism.So,he wants to emphasise mechanical nature of the society of that time,as these mechanisms become the target for every human.The Essay was written in 1829 in a journal Edinburgh Review and there should have been three book reviews,but he went far more beyond his particular aim and presented increasing the admiration of technical and mechanical things and regarded it as a decay of society.

Mithologema of the Heroes in Fairy-Fables of Zviad Gamsakhurdia is the following: the kindness triumphs over the wickedness. The evil gets another face. The main hero tries to ennoble it. Both fables bear the prophetic character. In many episodes of the composition, the events which developed and took place after twenty years from their creation, are predicted in advance. The prototype of the mythology heroes of the fables represent the author himself. In these fairy tales he had established not only his own mission and action plan, but also he had predicted coating with mythological pelage. Whether it is surprising or not, many of his accomplices did not wish to believe his transmission to the Kingdom and he took with himself, to the other word the happiness of appearing of admired president. So was born the new mythological hero-Zviani, who exists everywhere till today, until his idea remains alive.

PLOD1 promotes cell growth and aerobic glycolysis by regulating the SOX9/PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in gastric cancer
Authors: Zhang Yixin , Wu Yingjie , Su Xiaobao
Published: August 2021

Background: Evidences has showed that procollagen-lysine 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 1 (PLOD1) participated in the many cancers’ progression, such as bladder cancer and osteosarcoma. However, its role in gastric cancer (GC) remains elusive. The study, was aimed to investigate the role and of PLOD1 in GC progression and the underlying mechanism. Methods: MTT, Edu and colony formation assays were applied to detect cell viability and clonal expansion ability. TUNEL was used for cell apoptosis detection. Glucose uptake, lactate production, ATP contents, oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) levels were used to reflect aerobic glycolysis level in GC cells. Results: The expression of PLOD1 in GC tissues and cells was higher than that in GES-1 cells. Overexpression of PLOD1 induced a significant enhancement in cell viability and increased glucose uptake, lactate production, ATP contents and ECAR, but decreased cell apoptosis and OCR level in AGS and HGC-27 cells. Knockdown of PLOD1 caused opposite results. In mechanism, the expression of PLOD1 in GC tissues was positively associated with SOX9, HK2 and LDHA levels, and overexpression of PLOD1 increased SOX9, p-Akt/Akt and p-mTOR/mTOR levels. Additionally, overexpression of SOX9 abolished PLOD1 downregulation-mediated inhibition on cell viability and aerobic glycolysis, promotion on cell apoptosis. Moreover, PLOD1 downregulation inhibited tumor formation in vivo. Conclusion: This study showed that PLOD1can promote cell growth and aerobic glycolysis through activating the SOX9/PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling.

Published: August 2021

Introduction: Cancer is the leading cause of death globally according to WHO in 2020. It is initiated by genetic mutations that occur due to numerous factors. The aim of the review: This review provides a clear view of the potential use of chromosome 6 open reading frame 106 (C6orf106) as a biomarker, based on previous studies. Results: Recent studies have investigated the association of C6orf106 with breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer and showed that silencing C6orf106 leads to inhibition of malignancy in both diseases, as well as showing a positive correlation between C6orf106 expression and malignancy. Other studies demonstrated the interaction of C6orf106 with other malignancy factors that play a role in many cancer types, such as cyclin A2, cyclin B1, N-cadherin, E-cadherin, c-MYC, p120ctn, and vimentin. These factors play a significant role in cellular adhesion and the regulation of the cell cycle. C6orf106 is a potential target for numerous cancers, not only non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. In conclusion: understanding the connection of C6orf106 with crucial malignancy factors makes it clear that C6orf106 is a potential therapeutic target and diagnostic biomarker for many disease cancer.

Published: August 2021

Background: Osteosarcoma is a common bone tumor with extremely high malignancy, occurring mostly in children and adolescents. At present, the survival rate of osteosarcomas has made progress in some aspects; however, this can only be regarded as a partial success because substantial progress has not been made in the last few decades. Object: The kinesin superfamily is a group of proteins that play regulatory roles in various metabolic processes and are closely related to tumor metastasis. Increasing evidence shows that kinesins play key roles in the occurrence and development of human cancer. Purpose: This review summarizes the roles of the kinesin superfamily proteins in osteosarcoma and related functions.
