Overview of roadkills in the Serra da Macaca Park Road (SP-139), state of São Paulo, Brazil
Authors: Alves Francisco de A. , Teixeira Carlos R. , Barbosa Luciano , A. Júnior Jairo
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT Fatalities involving wildlife on roads and highways due to collisions with automotive vehicles represent a severe threat to the conservation of several species of terrestrial vertebrates throughout the world. However, in addition to the negative impact caused by collisions, there are also serious social and economic implications that arise from this situation. This study aims at qualifying and quantifying the collisions with fauna in the Serra da Macaca Park Road (SP-139), since the end of the revitalization work that the road was underwent - in 2015 - over a stretch of 33 km that crosses the Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho (PECB), as well as identifying the predisposing factors that lead to such accidents. The ecological analyses were generated by a combination of the records kept by the fiscalization service of the Fundação Florestal and samples collected in the field. In total, the loss of 80 individuals belonging to 27 species was recorded over an estimated period of three years. Reptiles were the most affected group, followed by mammals. A significant part of the animals was unable to be recognized to the species level, since the taxonomic identification was conducted based on the morphology of the external characteristics and several of the carcasses were completely dilacerated. We identified that the temporal variations in the fatalities are related mainly to the intensity of the traffic in the road and to the differential response of herpetofauna to the stimuli of seasonality.

Resumo O artigo se insere nos estudos sobre “Fórmulas da Emoção na Fotografia de Guerra”, que buscam identificar elementos causadores de impacto emocional nas imagens de conflito contemporâneas. No presente estudo, usamos de forma complementar três experimentos pragmáticos para explorar as reações dos observadores às imagens de conflito: ferramenta de reconhecimento de emoções por expressão facial; questionários de pesquisa quantitativa; e mecanismo de identificação do movimento ocular (Eye Tracking). Entre os resultados apresentados, destaca-se a curva crescente de engajamento durante todo o período de apresentação da sequência de imagens, sugerindo a possibilidade de que as imagens criem alguma forma de necessidade. O resultado do estudo com Eye Tracking mostrou que o rosto das pessoas retratadas é sempre o foco primordial de atenção.
Das cavernas às prateleiras: sobre pigmentos, maquiagens e filtros
Authors: Reinaldo Gabriela
Published: December 2021

Resumo Assim como o reconhecimento facial é uma capacidade ancestral do intelecto humano que garante nosso pertencimento a um determinado grupo e, portanto, a nossa própria sobrevivência (SACKS 1997, 2010; LEONE, 2016; 2018), além da nossa vinculação emocional (CYRULNIK, 1995) também há evidências de que os primeiros hominídeos modificavam voluntariamente suas aparências, disfarçando, camuflando ou criando outras versões de si mesmos capazes de se endereçar aos deuses, aos seus contemporâneos e à natureza. A manipulação do rosto, embora se trate de uma prática arquetípica, diz respeito às mudanças nas mídias historicamente constituídas (BELTING, 2015). Midiaticamente, não apenas o rosto é a imagem mais reproduzida e consumida na atualidade — ou seja, o rosto está, de modo ubíquo, na mass media —, mas o próprio rosto é uma mídia (BELTING, 2007). Este artigo se dedica a discutir as alterações faciais temporárias — como maquiagens e filtros de aplicativos. Além disso, abordaremos de que maneira, mesmo quando se trata de uma atividade desencantada, ainda se verificam traços de um passado místico, mágico e ritualístico na maquiagem e no ato de se maquiar — vestígios que aparecem, por exemplo, no discurso da publicidade de cosméticos.
Increasy eutrophication symptoms during a prolonged drought event in tropical semi-arid reservoirs, Brazil
Authors: Santos Diógenes Fernandes dos , Silva Jonathan Mota da , Becker Vanessa
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT Eutrophication is a global problem and an important cause of the ecological health degradation of aquatic ecosystems. The aim was to evaluate the effect of prolonged drought period (2012 to 2019) on the trophic state of two Brazilian semi-arid reservoirs, Boqueirão de Parelhas (BOQ) and Passagem das Traíras (TRA). The work was carried out according to a drought classification system, based on the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), with an aggregated timescale of 36 months, defining three periods. In the Period I, higher values of Secchi and lower values of turbidity, solids, nutrients and chlorophyll-a were registered, when compared to the other periods, mainly in BOQ. The principal component analyses of both reservoirs reveled a showed a temporal trend of the sample units according to the consequences of the prolonged drought. The results indicated changes in limnological variables due to the reduction of accumulated water volume, and they demonstrated that prolonged droughts impact the intensification of eutrophication in both systems. The trophic state of the BOQ reservoir was changed from mesotrophic to eutrophic as a consequence of the drought, while in TRA the eutrophic state remained, but with more intensified symptoms, with higher concentration values of nutrients, solids and algal biomass.
Myocardial Insulin Resistance
Authors: De Oliveira Andrade Luis Jesuino , Santos Padilha Ingrid Silva , Matos de Oliveira Luís , Matos de Oliveira Gabriela Correia
Published: December 2021

Background:

The low available of Glut-4 transporters in sarcolemma of the cardiac cells is what characterizes the myocardial insulin resistance (MIR), which is triggered separately of generalized insulin resistance. Insulin receptors are quite evident in the heart muscle and vessels, and mitochondrial activity performs a significant function in MIR preserving cellular homeostasis by cell reproduction, cells livelihoods, and energy generation.

Objective:

To evaluate the MIR mechanism and through the signaling pathway design.

Methods:

PubMed database was employed to search for reviews publications with MIR. The referenced data of the signaling pathway was chosen aggregating references of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database. A signaling pathway was designed based on MIR research manuscripts, where we show several mechanisms included in the MIR. The KEGG server was employed to exploit the interrelationship protein-protein, and elaborate signaling pathway diagram. The signaling pathway mapping was carried out with PathVisio software.

Results:

We selected 42 articles from a total of 450 articles in the PubMed database that presented a significant association between the terms "insulin resistance myocardial" AND "signaling pathway". Founded on database-validated research papers, we choose well-founded pathways and we succeeded representative description of these pathways. The reproduction contigs taken from the KEGG database designed the signaling pathway of the bio-molecules that lead to MIR. Thus, the acting among multiple mechanisms releases factors that participate of the development of MIR.

Conclusion:

The interaction among various mechanisms and molecular interactions are important factors in development of MIR.
Stiffness matrix method for analysis of torsionally loaded piles in multi-layered soil
Authors: Vega-Posada Carlos A.
Published: December 2021

A new, simple and practical method to investigate the response of torsionally loaded piles on homogeneous or non-homogeneous multi-layered elastic soil was developed. Soil non-homogeneity is accounted for by assuming, for each layer, a shear modulus distribution that fits a quadratic function. Analysis of piles in multi-layered soil is carried out by subdividing the pile, at the soil–soil layer and soil–air interfaces, into multiple elements and then using conventional matrix methods – such as those commonly implemented in structural analysis – to connect them. The governing differential equation of an individual structural element is solved using the differential transformation method. The stiffness matrix is then derived by applying compatibility conditions at the ends of the element. Piles partially or fully embedded in multiple layers and subjected to torsion can be analysed in a simple manner with the proposed formulation – a tedious endeavour with other available solutions. Explicit expressions for the coefficients of the matrix are provided and four examples are presented to show the simplicity, accuracy and capability of the proposed formulation.
Local bond strength prediction of deformed reinforcing bars in concrete considering heterogeneity at interface regions
Authors: Yang Shutong , Yu Miao , Dong Kun , Yang Yushan
Published: December 2021

An analytical model is proposed to predict local bond strength (τf) by incorporating heterogeneity at interface regions for deformed reinforcing bars centrally anchored in concrete. The rib width on the bar surface is introduced as an interfacial characteristic parameter G in the proposed model; this accounts for the heterogeneity. Both τf and the local interfacial fracture energy (GIIf) of each specimen were found to be linked to G and can be determined analytically from the maximum pull-out loads (Fmax) from tests. It was found that the predicted τf was larger than the maximum average bond stress (τavg-max); the discrepancy between the two values reduced with an increase in L/G. Moreover, with an increase in L/G, the predicted τf showed a certain decrease, with the reduction decreasing with stronger interfacial homogeneity. The predicted GIIf was found to be significantly increased because of the weaker boundary effect. The validity of the proposed model was verified using comparisons of predicted Fmax (using the determined values of τf and GIIf) and the experimental Fmax, with the only failure mode being bar pull-out. Moreover, the model can be applied to steel or fibre-reinforced polymer bars and the concrete refers to all types of cementitious materials.

Tire'de Lutfi Paşa Camii ve Vakfı
Authors: ERDOĞRU Mehmet Akif
Published: December 2021

Osmanlı devlet adamı ve Kanuni Sultan Süleyman’ın vezirlerinden Lutfi Paşa (ölümü: 1563), veziriazamlıktan azledildikten sonra, 1544 yılında Batı Anadolu’da Aydın sancağının merkezi olan Tire şehrinde bir cami inşa ettirmiştir. Muhtemelen Arnavut kökenli bir devşirme olan Lutfi Paşa, Devlet idaresinde iken, menzilhâne şebekesi, kasapların durumu, irtişa ve madencilerle ilgili birçok ıslahat gerçekleştirdi. İlahiyat, ahlak, tarih ve şiir alanlarında eserler yazdı. Hem Dimetoka hem de Tire’de vakıflar kuran cömert bir hayırseverdi. Neticede 1563’te Dimetoka’da vefat etti. Onun biyografisi henüz tam olarak ortaya çıkarılamamıştır. Bu makalede, Lutfi Paşa’nın Tire’de yaptırdığı camiin Şubat 1544 tarihli bir kısmı Arapça bir kısmı da Türkçe yazılmış olan vakfiyesi değerlendirilmiştir. Söz konusu vakfiyede, Lutfi Paşa’nın Kanuni Sultan Süleyman devrinde Tire’de vali iken, burada bir cami ve medrese yaptırdığı yazılıdır. Paşa vakıf kurarak, Tire’yi su kanalları, bahçeler, hamamlar, hanlar ile imar etmiştir. Paşa, ölümünden sonra Allah’tan sevap kazanacağını düşünerek bu eserleri yaptırmıştır. Gerçekten de vakıf kurma yoluyla, Tire ve çevresini ticari olarak geliştirmiştir. O, cami, medrese, mutfak, şadırvan, suyolları, sofa ve diğer ticari binalar yaptırmıştır. Başka Osmanlı arşiv belgelerinden de anlaşıldığı kadarıyla, paşa, Kanuni Sultan Süleyman devrinin en zengin Osmanlı devlet adamları arasında yer alır. Onun kurduğu vakfın ticari faaliyetleri, on altıncı yüzyıl ortalarında Batı Anadolu şehirlerinin ticari hacmini doğrudan etkilemiş görünmektedir.
“Our Architecture Has Long Acquired Global Significance”: International Contacts of the Union of Soviet Architects in the 1930s
Authors:   South Ural State University, Konysheva E. V.
Published: December 2021

The article is focused on the international contacts of the Soviet architecture in the 1930s. The direct object of the research is the cross-border communications of the Union of Soviet Architects: the tasks and forms of contacts of Soviet architects with foreign colleagues and institutions, as well as the role of the Union of Architects in this process; mechanisms of interaction with the authorities and tactics of the professional community in the context of regulation and control of international relations; conflicting nodes of state and professional interests. It is shown that in its international contacts, the Union of Architects did not appear as an independent actor, as it did not have institutional independence in international communications, autonomy in decision-making and its own resources for the implementation of projects. The institutional nature of the interaction prevailed; personal contacts were minimized and included into collective strategies. The international activity of the Union of Architects was part of the state policy of “cultural diplomacy” and had not only a professional, but also a propaganda-ideological component. The authorities ignored the professional motives of the architectural community if they did not coincide with governmental tasks. However, it is shown that the Union of Architects had its own tactics and realized its professional interests, using the interest of the state in a particular project. As a result, the thesis is presented that state regulation and total control sharply narrowed the possibilities of cross-border communications of the architectural community, distorted their forms and contents, but did not destroy them. The discovery and study of new documents shows that the myth of the cultural autarchy of the Stalinist USSR is not confirmed by the example of an architectural field.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a public health pandemic state due to the transmission of the new coronavirus on March 11th, 2020. COVID-19, that is caused by SARS-CoV-2, has a very broad clinical spectrum, with predominantly respiratory symptoms developments. The role of the health professionals in fighting the pandemic requires the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). PFF2 / N95 masks are suitable PPEs for this purpose. Due to the high demand for PFF2 / N95 masks to fight the pandemic, there was a shortage of this PPE worldwide. This work aims to present a characterization of the device called DELUX, utilized for UVC (ultraviolet C light spectra) sterilization of PFF2 / N95 masks, and allowing to extend the time of safe use of this PPE in emergency conditions. The photometric validation of the device resulted in the verification of the emission spectrum of the lamps used in the device, and the measurement of the optical power, demonstrating the adequacy of irradiation with UVC light, with a 15-minute cycle, and safely. Biological validation showed that DELUX is capable of inactivating SARS-CoV-2 present on the surface of PFF2 / N95 masks, thus being efficient for their sterilization. The safety offered by the sterilization cycle allows to extend the safe use of those masks.

The purpose of the article is to reveal the virtual nature of historicity, clearly represented by digital practices, in a spatial aspect. The research methodology is oriented on “hermeneutical understanding”, which is interactive in nature and corresponds to the interpretational possibilities of virtual experience. The specifics of the latter conditioned a phenomenological approach to the question of the definability of the life world of subjectivity, in which the mutually exclusive factors interact. Liberal democratic reasons express the need for recreation, but they signify the unification of individuals. Historical self-consciousness is inherent in existence, but is lost in the absolute power of “here-and-now”. Sociocultural continuum bears the combination of the incompatible (grotesque), being-nonsense, but it exists as fully tangible for all. The characteristic of the transformed form of historicity, conditioned by its own virtual moment, in the aspect of space constitutes the scientific novelty of the work and allows us coming to the conclusion: the digital paradigm of space reveals the crisis of historicity through the dynamics of its virtual moment to the status of the instance of being. Thus, in terms of experiencing space, it is clear that it becomes meaningful through the image of movement based on the current accessibility of the flow. The mental quality of the space in the performance-effects is transformed into a mature declarative, and the temporality of history in the digital space is represented by the superimposition of gradations of infinity and speculative momentality in quasi-simultaneity. The movement of retrospective analysis from the unity of the historical and the logical – through the actualization of the subject – reaches a state of conditionally indefinable relation to the past. That is, the past – from the category conditioned by real facts and the deed of history – turns into a sort of a mark, from which the outlines of the future set off, loaded with “hyperreality”. The subject is a priori hypostasizing in such performances into the affective-bodily factor, manifests itself as a “hyper-sign” of the being, which is attributed to the abolition of the fullness of itself. In the sense of categorization of the basic attitude towards its reality, which is the basis of historicity, such abolition is expressed by imitation of free will, and this is obviously a comic form. The set fair obviousness and self-sufficiency of the virtual moment of historicity shows the process of canceling the obsolete integrity scenario (the subject of cultural experience) and its replacement with a virtual feature that is “prosthetic” by the digital continuum.

Published: December 2021

Today, there are a number of scientific publications devoted to specific aspects of the activities of Omsk museums in the period of 1960-1980. However, their availability did not lead to the solution of the problem of comprehensive study of Museum development in the Omsk region. The author of the article set the goal – to trace the development of research activities in museums of the Omsk region over a whole stage in the history of museum business. This manifested the scientific novelty of the study. The basis of the sources involved was the documents of the historical archive of the Omsk region (record-keeping and reporting documentation), state and party regulatory documents, the results of studies of predecessors in this matter, museographic sources. The analysis was based on the local-historical method, which made it possible to specify historical circumstances that influenced quantitative and qualitative changes. The historical-typological method allowed to systematize data on types of research activities on the types of research activities that is practiced in the museums of the region in 1960–1980-ies. The article focuses on the period that can be described as the most dynamic in the development of museums and museum network of the country. The museums were given the status of scientific institutions at the state level, measures have been taken to improve the organization of research work. It is found that the main types of research work in museums of the Omsk region in 1960–1980s were the development of scientific topics according to the thematic-expositional plans of the expositions and exhibitions; compilation of museum guides for exhibitions and expositions; development of texts of excursions, lectures, and texts for television and radio programmes; preparation of scientific articles by results of the conducted research; preparation of materials of methodological nature; organization and participation in scientific conferences; expeditionary trips to the districts of Omsk region; study of museum collections. The article reveals the specifics and directions of development of this activity, specify the reasons influencing its intensity. The conclusion is that the research activity was carried out deliberately and systematically turned into a basis that is firmly associated with all activities of the museum. Thanks to the productive activity and attention from the management and staff of the museums to research work was able to bring it to a higher level of development.
RU WARE POTTERY AND THE PRINCIPLES OF MINIMALISM: TO THE PROBLEM OF THE SENSE OF FORM
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University (Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation), Vasil’eva Ekaterina V. , Bu Yi. ,   Saint Petersburg State University (Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation)
Published: December 2021

The comparison of various artistic phenomena, which are separated geographically and chronologically, is a complicated analytical precedent. The matching requires stable criteria, and a distance (spatial, temporal, cultural or artistic) makes the difficulties to the formulation of analytical principles. Different historical epochs form their own independent systems, which do not always imply the possibility of the direct comparison. At the same time, such juxtaposition gives possibility to identify common pictorial and ideological principles of artistic structures, which don’t have the strict identical forms. The comparison of separated artistic phenomena allows to determine the common platform of culture and to discover the integral principle of various artistic systems. This article is devoted to the comparing of two independent art systems. The Chinese Ru ware pottery of the Song dynasty and the international minimalism of the 1960s and 1980s are distanced one from another both territorially and chronologically. At the same time, they are close artistic systems, where the unifying factor is the idea and the sense of form. Within the framework of the article, the very possibility of comparing different artistic systems is considered. The text examines the possible criteria of such comparison. It raises the questions on the principles of the artistic relations. The starting point of the work is the specification of the basic characteristics for the Ru ware pottery and the determination of the basic principles of international minimalism of the 1960s and 1980s. The article examines the specific features and peculiarities of Ru ware pottery, which, despite its popularity, is not enough studied in the Russian analytical space. Besides, the text indicates the specific features of European and American minimalism. This direction also presents material for systematic study. One of the main tasks for this work is the presentation of key parameters related to the form elements of Ru ware pottery and the description of conceptual components related to the international minimalism. Comparing these two systems, authors refer to the basic categories of European theory of art, which appearance is associated with the names of Wilhelm Vorringer and Henry Welflin. The main criteria that allows to compare these artistic trends is «the sense of form» - the concept that was determined in German art-theory in the first half of the XXth century. The use of this categories and the discovery of the concept of the sense of form, allows to show a parallel between the principles of Ru ware pottery and the system of international minimalism of the second half of the XXth century.
REDEMPTION AS A LEGAL FACT IN CIVIL LAW
Authors:   Kalmyk State University (Elista, Russian Federation), Ryzhenkov Anatoly Ya.
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of redemption as a legal fact. In its external form and in its legal consequences, it represents a paid transfer of ownership of a thing and thus primarily resembles a contract of sale, so that it could be considered as a special case of it. However, at the doctrinal level, there is a completely different picture, where the redemption under its civil law regime is not only not identified with the purchase and sale, but sometimes does not even receive unambiguous recognition as a transaction. It is noted that the comparison of various options for redemption, enshrined in the norms of civil law, allows us to identify one common feature for them: in all cases, the decision to transfer ownership or to terminate the obligation (as in the case of an annuity contract) is made not by mutual will, but unilaterally. At the same time, the transfer of the right or the termination of the legal relationship in all cases is carried out on a strictly reimbursable basis. The universal property of redemption is precisely the legal effect, the emergence of a new legal relationship is only optional. Therefore, it is possible to formulate the definition of re-demption as a paid termination of a real or binding legal relationship at the request of one of the parties or a third party. In determining the redemption price, the agreement of the parties one of them is obliged to pay the agreed amount and the right to appropriate the thing from another – an obligation to provide the item and receive the agreed amount. Thus, the relation-ship of the participants in the buyout fits the description of the obligation. Moreover, the existence of an agreement between the parties indicates that this obligation is of a contractual nature. In the case of a buyout, such an integral element of the freedom of contract as the ability to decide at its own discretion whether to enter into this contract or not to enter into it is not maintained. More precisely, only one of the parties to the contract, namely the initiator of the purchase, is entitled to such a right, and this violates another fundamental principle of civil law – the equality of the participants in the legal relationship. The overall buyout model is a complex factual composition and includes the following elements: 1) the Base purchase (for example, abandoned the maintenance of cultural values, the mistreatment of animals, disagreeing with the decision of the shareholders meeting, etc); 2) treatment with the ransom demand, the transaction; 3) determination of the redemption price of: a) by agreement – a contractual obligation; b) court – ordered non-contractual obli-gation; 4) Payment of the purchase price (optional characterized proprietary and joint rela-tions, is the transfer of property to the payer; 5) Termination of a pre-existing legal relation-ship (with or without a new one).
Three-dimensional telomere profiles in papillary thyroid cancer variants: a pilot study
Authors: Rangel-Pozzo Aline , Dettori Tinuccia , Virginia Frau Daniela , Etzi Federica , Gartner John , Fisher Garbor , Vanni Roberta , Mai Sabine , Caria Paola
Published: December 2021

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has two main histologic variants: classical-PTC (CL-PTC) and follicular variant PTC (FV-PTC). Recently, due to its similar features to benign lesions, the encapsulated FV-PTC variant was reclassified as noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP). Nonetheless, specific molecular signatures are not yet available. It is well known that telomere-related genome instability is caused by inappropriate DNA repair of dysfunctional telomeres and that mechanisms involved in the damaged telomere repair processing may led to detrimental outcomes, altering the three-dimensional (3D) nuclear telomere and genome organization in cancer cells. This pilot study aimed to evaluate whether a specific 3D nuclear telomere architecture might characterize NIFTP, potentially distinguishing it from other PTC histologic variants. Our findings demonstrate that 3D telomere profiles of CL-PTC and FV-PTC were different from NIFTP and that NIFTP more closely resembles follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA). There was no association between BRAF expression and telomere length in all tested samples. Our data indicate that 3D telomere profiles of CL-PTC and FV-PTC were different from NIFTP and that NIFTP more closely resembles FTA. NIFTP has longer telomeres than CL-PTC and FV-PTC samples, and that telomere length of NIFTP overlaps with that of the FTA histotype. These preliminary findings reinforce the view that NIFTP are lesions closer to non-malignant thyroid nodules and confirmed that short telomeres are a feature of PTC.
Создание городской среды: разногласия в множественном объекте
Authors: Тарасов Иван Анатольевич
Published: December 2021

В начале 2010-х годов в России возрос интерес к городской среде, ее качеству и комфортности. Велись масштабные работы по благоустройству крупнейших городов, в первую очередь Москвы, открывались новые учебные заведения, образовательные программы и общественные организации, сфокусированные на этой тематике. Этот тренд не ограничился центральными городами и к середине десятилетия распространился по территории всей страны, помимо прочего приведя к появлению групп новых городских активистов. В 2016 году в ходе предвыборной кампании в Государственную Думу был разработан и запущен масштабный приоритетный федеральный проект «Формирование комфортной городской среды». В ходе его реализации обнаружились разногласия по поводу способов создания такой среды, ее критериев и в целом необходимости/приоритетности такой среды. В статье эти разногласия анализируются при помощи концепта «множественный объект», который был разработан в Ланкастерской школе акторно-сетевой теории, представленной в основном работами Джона Ло и Аннмари Мол. На примере благоустройства в Архангельской агломерации мы последовательно разберем основные процессы, формирующие реальность обустройства городской среды: реализацию приоритетного федерального проекта, процессное благоустройство и деятельность активистов. Выделив значимых акторов, мы покажем, что сегодня городская среда задействуется как минимум в двух противоречивых гетерогенных сетях отношений.

ATAC-STARR-seq v2
Authors: Hansen Tyler , Hodges Emily
Published: December 2021

Massively parallel reporter assays test the capacity of putative cis-regulatory elements (CREs) to drive transcription on a genome-wide scale. In nearly all cases, chromatin accessibility is necessary to drive activity, so most CREs are inactive due to chromatin context rather than intrinsic DNA sequence properties. Here, we combined assay for transposase-accessible chromatin (ATAC-seq) with self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing (STARR-seq) to selectively assay the regulatory potential of nucleosome-free DNA genome-wide. Our approach enabled high-resolution testing of ~50 million unique DNA fragments tiling ~101,000 accessible chromatin regions in human lymphoblastoid cells. To illustrate the application of our approach, we show that 30% of all accessible regions contain an activator, a silencer or both. Benchmarking against standard ATAC-seq, our approach faithfully captures chromatin accessibility and transcription factor (TF) footprints with high signal-to-noise. Integrating three layers of genomic information (accessibility, TF occupancy, and activity) provided by ATAC-STARR-seq, we stratified active and silent CREs by the presence of several TF footprints and show that CREs with specific TF combinations are associated with distinct gene regulatory pathways. Altogether, these data highlight the power of ATAC-STARR-seq to comprehensively investigate the regulatory landscape of the human genome from a single DNA source.

Identification and Control of Multidimensional Delayed Processes in Conditions of Incomplete Information
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation, Medvedev A. V. , Yareshchenko D. I. ,   Siberian Federal University, Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation
Published: December 2021

Problems of identification and control of multidimensional discrete-continuous processes with delay in conditions of incomplete information about the object are considered. In such conditions, the form of parametric equations for various channels of the object is absent due to the lack of a priori information. Moreover, multidimensional processes have stochastic dependences of the components of the vector of output variables. Under such conditions, the mathematical description of such processes leads to a system of implicit equations. Nonparametric identification and control algorithms for multidimensional systems are proposed. The main task of modeling such processes is to determine the predicted values of the output variables from the known input. Moreover, for implicit equations, it is only known that one or another output variable can depend on other input and output variables that determine the state of a multidimensional system. In this study, a nontrivial situation arises when solving a system of implicit equations under conditions when the dependences between the components of the output variables are unknown. The application of the parametric theory of identification in this case will not lead to success. One of the possible directions is the use of the theory of nonparametric systems. The main content of the work is the solution of the identification problem in the presence of dependencies of the output variables and then the solution of the control problem for such a process. Here you should pay attention to the fact that when determining the reference actions for a multidimensional system, it is first necessary to solve the system of reference actions, since it is not possible to choose arbitrarily setting influences from the range of definition of output variables. Computational eXperiments aimed at investigating the effectiveness of the proposed identification and control algorithms are presented.
A Linaria biebersteinii Bess. és a L. angustissima (Lois.) Borbás részleges földrajzi és virágzásfenológiai elkülönülése a Kárpát-medencében
Authors: Lendvai Gábor
Published: December 2021

E dolgozatban a Linaria szekcióba tartozó Linaria biebersteinii és L. angustissima kárpát-medencei elterjedését és virágzásfenológiáját elemeztem a Magyar Természettudományi Múzeum herbáriuma, valamint saját megfigyeléseim alapján. Arra kerestem választ, hogy van-e köztük különbség a fentiek tekintetében, és fennáll-e kereszteződésük lehetősége a Kárpát-medencében. A két faj kárpát-medencei előfordulási helyeit ellenőrzött herbáriumi példányok lelőhelyadatai és saját terepi megfigyeléseim és gyűjtéseim alapján tájegységenként részleteztem, illetve térképen összegeztem. Virágzásfenológiájuk meghatározását kizárólag herbáriumi példánnyal dokumentált adatok alapján végeztem, a gyűjtési időpont és a begyűjtött példányok fenológiai állapota szerint, úgy, hogy az azonos időpontban és azonos helyen gyűjtött példányok közül csak egyet vettem figyelembe. A virágzási valószínűségeket a gyűjtési időpontok alapján egy egyszerű statisztikai modell segítségével becsültem. Az eredmények szerint a két faj elterjedése és virágzásának ideje jelentősen, de nem teljesen különbözik. A L. biebersteinii előfordulása csak az erdélyi Mezőségre és a Nagyalföldre korlátozódik, míg a L. angustissima elsősorban a Kárpátok előhegyein és alacsonyabb régióiban fordul elő. Elterjedési területük a Nagyalföld egyes részein és a Mezőség nyugati szélén azonban részlegesen átfed, így földrajzi izolációjuk nem teljes. A L. angustissima virágzási idejének kezdete és csúcsa 4-5 héttel megelőzi a L. biebersteinii-ét, de csúcsvirágzását követően virágzásuk átfedése nagymértékű. Ezek alapján a két faj közti hibridizáció lehetősége a Kárpát-medencén belül nem zárható ki.

Published: December 2021

Pheochromocytoma are rare tumours originating from the chromaffin tissue. The clinical manifestations are variable and are not specific as pheochromocytoma and often imitate other diseases. The diagnosis is established by measurement of catecholamines and their metabolites in urine or plasma and by radiographic studies for localisation. Surgical removal of the tumour is the preferred treatment. 45 years old female presented with adrenal incidentaloma of about 6.1×6.2×5.4 cm well defined heterogenous lesion with internal cystic areas seen in right adrenal region abutting upper pole of right kidney. Biochemical investigations for adrenal hormones including plasma aldosterones, cortisols, plasma metanephrines, 24 hrs urinary metanephrines and VMA were found to be normal. Proceeded with adrenelectomy and histopathology of the specimen revealed pheochromocytoma as diagnosis. Pheochromocytoma leads to high mortality and morbidity rates if untreated. Fractionised metanephrines and catecholamines in a 24 hrs urine analysis is the preferred biochemical test. In a biochemically silent pheochromocytoma imaging modalities are used to identify and locate the tumour. Adequete alpha and beta blockade should be ensured before tumour removal. Surgery is recommenced irrespective of size and normal biochemical study to prevent complications.

Wounds are inherent to being alive and also a reminder of our fragility in the face of the hostilities of this planet. Annually, it is estimated that 4511 operations are performed per 100,000 population, or 1 surgical procedure every year for every 22 people. There is an art to treating wounds. The support by the doctor for wound healing favors the early recovery of this, in addition to minimizing the risk of infection and gives an aesthetically pleasing appearance, the care that is used today ranging from the cleaning of the wound, the approximation of the edges thanks to the sutures, etc. The following is a review of cutting-edge therapies in this area of medicine, such as biotechnologies, growth factors, gene therapy, and stem cells. Projections indicate an increasing decrease in morbidity and mortality associated with surgical wounds and their repair, as well as more favorable cosmetic outcomes for patients. The results showed that all the described techniques, although not perfect, are perfectible, and with the pertinent precautions can be maximized in favor of care. There is the possibility in the near future, to be a basic part of wound care, in terms of protocols of care, but also in the individualization of treatment.

Published: December 2021

Background: Sepsis is one of the common clinical conditions seen in neonates. Sepsis being major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in neonates, early recognition and treatment with antibiotics remains a mainstay of NICU protocols for neonatologists.Methods: It is a hospital based retrospective study conducted from July 2019 to February 2020 in GIMS, Kalaburagi. Neonates with suspicion of clinical sepsis were investigated for complete blood count (CBC), C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood culture (BC). Antibiotics were started based on CBC and CRP reports, or on high index of clinical suspicion. Based on common organisms isolated in previous 3 months statistics, antibiotics were decided. On confirmation by blood culture, antibiotics were changed as per blood culture report.Results: Out of 100 neonates, CRP was positive in  80 (70%) neonates, BC showed growth among 24 (24%) neonates. Although neonates had clinical sepsis, CRP was negative in 20 (10%), 76 (76%) did not show any kind of growth on BC. Mortality was seen in 04 (5%) neonates with only CRP positive, 02 (08%) neonates with only BC growth, 02 (10%) neonates with both CRP positive and BC growth, 02 (03%) neonates with CRP positive but no growth on BC. Clinical features were from subtle to severe.Conclusions: Although CRP and blood culture confirmation remains one of the main diagnostic parameter in sepsis, as mortality is seen among neonates with negative blood parameters, high  index of clinical suspicion is essential to treat sepsis at an early stage.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has put enormous strains on health care and public sector resources globally, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The extensive and often inept use of antibiotics during the pandemic is suspected. Data from Google trends (GT) enables the assessment of Google users' interest in a specific topic. A strong correlation between active COVID-19 cases and GT search terms of antibiotics (r=0.90) azithromycin (r=0.96) and doxycycline (r=0.93) were noticed with p<0.05. However, hydroxychloroquine (r=0.21) was not significant. Further investigation is needed to determine GT as a possible adjunctive monitoring tool for antibiotic use and formulate drug resistance patterns in India.
