Authors:   Dr. M. Nasirullah Memorial Trust, Tejgaon, Dhaka, Bangladesh, Mohiuddin Abdul Kader
Published: November 2020

Introduction. Telemedicine and telehealth technologies are especially effective during epidemic outbreaks, when health authorities recommend implementing social distance systems. Currently, coronavirus COVID-19 has affected 210 countries around the world, killed more than 240,000 and infected more than 3.4 million, according to Worldmeter, 03 May, 2020. Aim. The article reveals scope of pharmacy professionals in telemedicine sector during epidemic outbreaks. Material and methods. PubMed, ALTAVISTA, Embase, Scopus, the Science Web and the Cochrane Central Register have been carefully searched. The keywords were used to search out extensively followed journals from various publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, Willey Online Library, and Wolters Kluwer. Results. Home-care is especially important in these situations because hospitals are not seemingly safe during pandemic outbreaks. Also, the chance to get out of the home during the lockdown period is limited. Telephone-based measures improve efficiency by linking appropriate information and feedback. It can also help provide education at distance on various health issues and topics. Conclusion. In addition to increasing access to healthcare, telemedicine is a fruitful and proactive way to provide a variety of benefits to patients seeking healthcare; diagnose and monitor critical and chronic health conditions; improve healthcare quality and reduce costs.

Authors: Krzymień Wiesław
Published: November 2020

Analiza właściwości aeroelastycznych konstrukcji latających jest wymagana przepisami budowy. Elementem analizy są badania rezonansowe konstrukcji, których wyniki są potrzebne do wykonania obliczeń, jak również stanowią podstawę przeprowadzenia badań dowodowych w locie. Badania rezonansowe obejmują także układy sterowania w zakresie wychylania lub skręcania powierzchni sterowych. W przypadku konstrukcji lekkich i ultralekkich oddziaływanie pilota może istotnie zmienić właściwości drganiowe układów sterowania. Przeprowadzone badania miały na celu określenie wpływu pilota na układ sterowania przez dołożenie masy ręki i sztywności ramienia do drążka oraz nóg do pedałów. Wyniki pomiarów pozwalają na dobranie masy zastępczej ręki lub rąk oraz nóg podczas badań rezonansowych, a także uwzględnienie jej w obliczeniach właściwości flatterowych lekkich konstrukcji. W artykule przedstawiono metodę pomiarów oraz podstawowe wyniki badań przeprowadzonych na specjalnie przygotowanym stanowisku.

Authors: Lewkowicz Rafał
Published: November 2020

Przedstawiona praca jest próbą określenia przyczyny występowania w dynamicznym symulatorze lotu nieprzyjemnych doznań ruchowych niespotykanych w locie rzeczywistym. Celem przeprowadzonych badań była odpowiedź na pytanie, czy szybkość zmiany przyspieszenia liniowego kabiny wirówki przeciążeniowej może mieć związek z występowaniem u pilota objawów choroby lokomocyjnej. W badaniu zastosowano bodziec ruchowy w postaci profilu przyspieszeń interwałowych utworzonych przy wykorzystaniu modelu kinematyki wirówki przeciążeniowej HTC-07. Każdy z pięciu utworzonych profili różnił się szybkością zmiany generowanego przyspieszenia (1, 2, 3, 4 lub 6 G/s). Do oceny bodźców odpowiedzialnych za występowanie choroby symulatorowej zastosowano model nasilenia objawów choroby lokomocyjnej oparty na teorii subiektywnego poczucia kierunku grawitacji. Badania przeprowadzone metodą symulacji komputerowej wykazały, że w każdym z analizowanych profili występuje bodziec ruchowy odpowiedzialny za występowanie choroby lokomocyjnej. Stwierdzono występowanie nieliniowej zależności między nasileniem objawów tej choroby a szybkością zmiany przyspieszenia kabiny wirówki. Najniższy poziom nasilenia objawów wystąpił dla zmian przyspieszenia z przedziału od 2 do 4G/s.

Published: November 2020

Vestry as a space of preparation for liturgy on the example of the church of St. Francis of Assisi in Krakow The topic of the following article is “Vestry as a space of preparation for liturgy on the example of the church of St. Francis of Assisi in Krakow“. The author, besides histor-ical issues concerning the vestry and the process of building the discussed Franciscan vestry, shows it as an example of the integral part of a church, used by the priest and acolytes for preparation for celebration of liturgy, as well as a place for storage of church equipment and liturgical books. The antique furnishings and decorations of a place that allow to prepare for the liturgy should help emphasizing the crucial role of celebration. The presented paper, besides theological interpretation, underlines the sanctity and dignity of a vestry, which always should present the high level of furnish-ings and decorations, what nowadays is misunderstood, underestimated and ignored when organizing the church both by architects and priests themselves.

Published: November 2020

This study is to solve the problems of an overly-broad scale of medical indicators, lack of retrospective research samples, insufficient depth of data mining, and low disease prediction accuracy. In this paper, we propose an intelligent screening algorithm that combines a genetic algorithm, cellular automata, and rough set theory. This algorithm can achieve high accuracy in predicting patient outcomes with a small number of indicators. And we compare it with the traditional genetic algorithm. We built the prediction model with 64 indicators based on the logistic regression (AUC 0.8628), support vector machine (AUC 0.5319), Naïve Bayes (AUC 0.7102), and AdaBoost algorithms (AUC 0.9095). Using the cellular genetic algorithm for attribute screening not only effectively reduces the number of indicators but also achieve almost the same accuracy of prediction with 8 indicators based on the logistic regression (AUC 0.8782), support vector machine (AUC 0.8525), Naïve Bayes (AUC 0.8408), and AdaBoost algorithms (AUC 0.8770). Compared with the traditional scoring system, the predictive model established in this paper can more accurately predict rebleeding accidents based on physiological test indicators and continuous patient indicators.

Published: November 2020

Most of the water losses occur during water distribution in pipelines during transportation. In order to eradicate the losses, an “IoT based water distribution system” integrated with “Fog and Cloud Computing" proposed for water distribution and underground health monitoring of pipes. For developing an effective water distribution system based on Internet of Things (IoT), the demand of the consumer should be analysed. So, towards predicting the water demand for consumers, Deep learning methodology called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is compared with traditional Time Series methodology called Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) in terms of error and accuracy. Now based on demand prediction with higher accuracy, an IoT integrated “Water Distribution Network (WDN)” is designed using hydraulic engineering. This WDN design will ensure minimal losses during transportation and quality of water to the consumers. This will lead to development of a smart system for water distribution.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi medir a ocorrência de multimorbidade e estimar o número de indivíduos na população brasileira com 50 anos ou mais em risco para COVID-19 grave. Estudo transversal de base nacional com dados do Estudo Longitudinal da Saúde dos Idosos Brasileiros (ELSI-Brasil), conduzido em 2015-2016, com 9.412 indivíduos com 50 anos ou mais. A multimorbidade foi caracterizada como ≥ 2 condições crônicas com base em uma lista de 15 morbidades consideradas de risco para COVID-19 grave. As análises incluíram cálculo de prevalência e estimativa do número absoluto de pessoas na população em risco. Autoavaliação do estado de saúde, fragilidade e atividades básicas da vida diária foram utilizadas como marcadores da situação de saúde. Sexo, idade, região geopolítica e escolaridade foram usados como covariáveis. Cerca de 80% dos indivíduos da amostra apresentaram pelo menos alguma das morbidades avaliadas, o que representa cerca de 34 milhões de indivíduos; a multimorbidade foi referida por 52% da população em estudo, com maior proporção nas regiões Centro-oeste, Sudeste e Sul. Doenças cardiovasculares e obesidade foram as condições crônicas mais frequentes. Estima-se que 2,4 milhões de brasileiros estejam em risco grave de saúde. Desigualdades segundo a escolaridade foram observadas. O número de pessoas com 50 anos ou mais que apresentam morbidades de risco para COVID-19 grave é elevado tanto em termos relativos quanto absolutos. A estimativa apresentada é importante para planejar as estratégias de monitoramento das pessoas com morbidades crônicas e de prevenção no enfrentamento do novo coronavírus.

Investigar os fatores associados à prática do sexo sob o efeito de drogas (chemsex) entre homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH) durante período de isolamento social, no contexto da pandemia da COVID-19. Inquérito multicêntrico online, aplicado aos territórios de Brasil e Portugal em abril de 2020, enquanto os dois países vivenciavam medidas sanitárias restritivas para a doença. Os participantes foram recrutados valendo-se de uma adaptação do método respondent driven sampling (RDS) ao ambiente virtual. Os dados foram coletados usando redes sociais e aplicativos de encontro voltados a HSH. Utilizamos regressão logística bivariada e multivariada para a produção das odds bruto (OR) e ajustado (ORa). Em um universo de 2.361 sujeitos, 920 (38,9%) realizaram a prática do chemsex, que, em 95% dos casos, foi realizada com parceiro casual. Aumentaram as chances de se envolver em chemsex: morar no Brasil (ORa = 15,4; IC95%: 10,7-22,1); não estar em isolamento social (ORa = 4,9; IC95%: 2,2-10,9); fazer sexo casual durante o distanciamento social (ORa = 52,4; IC95%: 33,8-81,4); fazer sexo grupal (ORa = 2,9; IC95%: 2,0-4,4); não apresentar nenhum tipo de sintoma para a COVID-19 (ORa = 1,3; IC95%: 1,1-1,8); não residir com o parceiro (ORa = 1,8; IC95%: 1,2-2,6) e estar em uso da profilaxia pré-exposição (ORa = 2,6; IC95%: 1,8-3,7). A ocorrência de chemsex foi elevada, sobretudo no Brasil, onde o isolamento social proposto não sensibilizou os HSH à adesão.
VASI Questionnaire in the context of Brazilian Secondary Education: an Analysis of the Students' Understanding of Scientific Inquiry
Authors: Andrade Mariana A. Bologna Soares de , Lederman Norman G. , Lederman Judith
Published: November 2020

Abstract: Science education researchers agree that a better understanding of Scientific Inquiry (SI) is one of the main objectives of Scientific Literacy. Considering the Brazilian scenario in which SI is being implemented as a proposal for science education based on Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), the aim of this study was to assess the notions of 169 elementary school students regarding SI by administering the VASI questionnaire. This study had a qualitative approach, we categorized the answers in Naïve, Mixed and Informed according to the 8 aspects of SI proposed on the original questionnaire. A low percentage of answers were classified as Mixed or Informed. The results corroborate to the argument that activities that prioritize the doing inquiry do not necessarily lead the students knowing inquiry. We consider that the VASI questionnaire can be applied by teachers now that different curricula based on investigation are been adopted in Brazil.

ABSTRACT Objective To review the dietary intake of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes Mellitus and its association with the glycemic profile. Methods Longitudinal observational study. Dietary intake was measured using a three-day dietary record and the glycemic profile with a continuous glucose monitoring (range between 70 and 180mg/dL) and serum glycated hemoglobin levels (ideal <7.5%). Anthropometric data, insulin therapy, and carbohydrate counting were collected. Results The sample included 34 individuals with type 1 diabetes Mellitus aged 13.6±2.1 years. The majority of the population was eutrophic (76.4%). The entire sample used the basal-bolus insulin regimen, with mean insulin dose of 1.0±0.2U/kg/day; for 44.1% of the sample the carbohydrate counting method was used. Macronutrients intake was adequate in only 8.8% of the individuals, the highest frequency of inadequacy was related to carbohydrates (p=0.07). Inadequate glycemic control with hyperglycemia episodes and high mean glycated hemoglobin (9.7%) was observed in all individuals (61.3±18.5%). Carbohydrate counting was responsible for maintaining the percentage of time that the patient had interstitial blood glucose values within the range >40% (p<0.001) and maintaining the percentage of time in hyperglycemia <50% (p<0.001). Conclusion The majority of individuals were eutrophic, but presented inadequate dietary intake and glycemic control. The method of counting carbohydrates positively influenced the glycemic profile.

ABSTRACT This research aimed to evaluate the biological aspects and the feeding behavior of Aphis gossypii in watermelon cultivars submitted to silicon application. The experiment was conducted at the Institute of Education, Agriculture and Environment of the Federal University of Amazonas, Humaitá, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2×3 factorial (with and without silicon; cultivars Crimson Sweet, Fairfax and Charleston), with ten replications. The application of silicic acid (1%) was carried out directly on the substrate using dose equivalent to 1 ton SiO2·ha-1, 25 days after sowing. The rearing of aphids was kept in cucumber plants, cultivar Caipira. Insect biology tests were conducted to evaluate the duration of the prereproductive, reproductive and postreproductive periods, longevity, number of nymphs, and feeding behavior using the honeydew secretion technique. Analysis of variance was performed using the statistical program SISVAR and the means were compared by the F and Scott–Knott test (p ≤ 0.05). The silicon application to watermelon plants affects the reproduction and feeding of A. gossypii. The watermelon plants cultivar Crimson Sweet treated with silicon has high resistance to feeding by A. gossypii.

ABSTRACT The use of highly toxic pesticides to control soil pathogens, such as Fusarium spp. and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum has generated concern, due to the irreversible impacts caused on the environment, in addition to selecting resistant isolates. In this way, essential oils appear as an efficient alternative in control of diseases. Facing the problem of soil pathogens control and high antimicrobial fungicide that essential oils present, this work aimed to evaluate the in vitro fungicidal potential of essential oils in control of Fusarium spp. and S. sclerotiorum. A completely randomized design, factorial scheme 2×4×8 was used, with two isolates (Fusarium spp. and S. sclerotiorum), four essential oils (Aloysia citriodora, Cymbopogon winterianus, Lippia alba and Ocimum americanum), eight essential oil concentrations (0.0; 0.2; 0.4; 0.6; 0.8; 1.0; 1.2 and 1.4 ?L·mL-1), and ten replicates. The essential oils inhibited mycelial growth of the fungi in different concentrations, being their potential justified by the presence of antifungal chemical compounds. Essential oils of A. citriodora, C. winterianus, L. alba and O. americanum present high fungicidal potential, being viable alternatives for formulation of commercial products, boosting the pesticides industry.

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the effects of combinations of pyrethroids and neonicotinoids on the control of stink bugs at different stages of soybean crop development. The experiment was set up in a factorial randomized block design (4×6: 4 treatments and 6 stages) with 4 repetitions. The following treatments were tested during the V6/V7, R2, R4, R5.1, R5.5 and R 6 phenological stages: 1 – control (no application), 2 – thiamethoxam + λ-cyhalothrin, 3 – acetamiprid + α-cypermethrin, and 4 – dinotefuran + α-cypermethrin. Infestation, number of damaged seeds, number of pods, number of pods per plant, and yield (kg/ha) were evaluated. Stink bug infestations were smaller when applications commenced during the vegetative stages (V6-V8). Pod numbers and yields were highest in the dinotefuran + α-cypermethrin treatment with applications from V6/V8 to R4. The active ingredients dinotefuran + α-cypermethrin reduced stink bug populations and increased yields and could therefore be considered in integrated pest management (IPM) programs for soybean crops.

Authors: José Maria Emília Granduque
Published: November 2020

RESUMO No século XVI, a Espanha foi palco de uma série de escritos que visavam definir não apenas as regras que deveriam conduzir a escrita da história, mas também as qualidades esperadas de um bom cronista. Justificavam os autores dessas obras que a imagem de um reino e, consequentemente, de seu governante, construía-se a partir da história elaborada pelos letrados encarregados de registrar o passado. A partir do estudo dos Dialogos qual debe ser el chronista del principe, composto por Pedro de Navarra e publicado em 1565, a proposta desta apresentação crítica é interrogar como os letrados definiram o ofício do cronista e historiador na sociedade espanhola dessa época. Além dessa questão central, o texto tem como alvo apresentar a tradução comentada dos Dialogos qual debe ser el chronista del principe com o objetivo de guiar a análise sobre as funções atribuídas ao cronista do rei, bem como os requisitos necessários para o exercício desse ofício.

Authors: Cunha Maria Deluana da , Terto Danielle de Sousa , Diniz Jacob , Assis Roberta Borba
Published: November 2020

Abstract: Purpose: The changes in gustatory function resulting from oncological treatment occur mainly after radiotherapy. However, the head and neck tumors, because of the anatomical location of the lesion, can themselves trigger significant changes in the feeding-related functions - including taste. To assess the gustatory function in patients diagnosed with advanced oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer. Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study comprised 31 individuals with advanced oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer, referred for oncological treatment with radiotherapy, either alone or in combination with chemotherapy. The “taste strips” test was applied; it consists of inserting solutions with four different concentrations each for salty, sweet, and sour tastes, and three concentrations for the bitter taste, on the tongue. Results: Most of the individuals were diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer. Approximately half of the sample already had taste-related complaints, and more than 80%, swallowing-related complaints. The overall frequency of hypogeusia was 38.7%, in which the bitter taste stood out in its isolated assessment. The association of change in gustatory function proved to be significant in patients in stage T4. Conclusion: The decrease in gustatory function in individuals with oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer was evidenced in this study, especially when associated with tumors in stage T4. Regarding feeding, most of them reported complaints of dysphagia, suggesting the importance of the speech-language-hearing assessment and follow-up, even before the oncological treatment, to minimize the risks of dysphagia.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Cancer patients may have gastrointestinal changes that influence nutritional status. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence of gastrointestinal changes resulting from outpatient chemotherapy treatment in cancer patients. METHODS: In a retrospective longitudinal study, the nutritional status and chemotherapy gastrointestinal changes (nausea, vomit, diarrhea, constipation, mucositis, dysphagia, xerostomia, inappetence, dysgeusia and heartburn) in cancer patients (n=187) were investigated in an outpatient follow-up. For the study of the parameters over time, the generalized estimating equation (GEE) method was used. Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney tests and Spearman coefficient, at a significance level of 5% were also used. RESULTS: The majority of the patients were female (63.64%) and the mean age was 57.5±12.1 years. The most frequent symptoms were nausea (18.54%); inappetence (18.31%); intestinal constipation (11.58%); diarrhea (7.98%); xerostomia (7.59%) and vomiting (7.43%). The nutritional status did not exhibit any relevant changes (P=0.7594). However, a higher prevalence of eutrophy was observed, followed by overweight; vomiting exhibited a significant difference (P=0.0211). The nausea symptom exhibited a significant difference with a higher prevalence of colorectal neoplasia when compared to breast neoplasia (P=0.0062); as well as vomiting in lung and colorectal neoplasias (P=0.0022), and dysphagia, in head and neck neoplasia, when compared to other neoplasms (P<0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the number of medical appointments and gender (P=0.0102) and between dysphagia and gender (P<0.0001). CONCLUSION: The study findings enhance the need for signs and symptoms follow up, as well as nutritional status follow up of patients undergoing outpatient chemotherapy.
Influence of Interpretation Service Attributes on Conservation Intentions of Tourism Resources: Mediating Effect of Interpretation Commitment
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Lee Sang-Ho , Heo So-Jin
Published: November 2020

This study investigated the influence of interpretation service attributes on the tourists’ interpretation commitment and resource conservation intention at cultural tourism sites. This study also examined the meditating role of interpretation commitment on the relationship between interpretation service attributes and conservation intention. The interpretation service in cultural tourism consisted of four main attributes: an attribute of education, information, interesting, and ease of understanding based on the concepts and nature of the tourism interpretation. The population of the study was the tourists who experienced interpretation services provided by Gamcheon Culture Village in Busan, Korea. The analysis of 300 questionnaires indicated that while none of the four attributes directly contributed to the conservation intention, attribute of education and attribute of interesting were positively associated with tourists’ interpretation commitment which directly relates to conservation intention. Moreover, while the mediating role of interpretation commitment was significant for the relationship between the attribute of interesting and conservation intention, it was insignificant for the relationship between the attribute of education and conservation intention. These results can be explained by the fact that tourists visiting Gamcheon Culture Village are mainly in their 20s and 30s who prefer enjoyable and interesting interpretations. As all the tourists have different motivations for and interest in the use of interpretation service, the attributes of the tourism interpretation service and tools need to be diversified. This study also proposed the practical ways to facilitate the use of tourism interpretation services.

Published: November 2020

The purpose of this study is to identify international research trends in the social relationships of travel. Specifically, the study intends to define the scope and examine the change of trends in various characteristics of social relationships over time. A total of 83 papers published in 43 Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) journals were selected for analysis. Utilizing the content analysis method, these trends were examined from three perspectives in travel: 1) subject, 2) relational object, and 3) relational effects. Three dimensions of social relations theory; the personal dimension, the interpersonal dimension, and the relational effect dimension, were employed in the analysis. Based on previous research, each study was classified by year, subject, journal, research method, and analysis method. The results show that the number of studies began to increase in 2013, until reaching a peak in 2019. Moreover, in the personal dimension, the study found that the needs for relatedness both directly and indirectly affected travel motivation. In the interpersonal dimension, the results showed that behavioral exchange is preceded by emotional exchange. Lastly, in the relational effect dimension, social relationships in travel have an effect on increasing psychological benefits and on strengthening social utility. The study reveals that social relations in travel have expandability and circularity, while the objects of social relationship expand from existing relationships to new relationships such as residents and service employees. These findings suggest the importance of promoting the formation of multidimensional relationships among travel stakeholders.
An Exploratory Study on Optimistic Bias in Risk Perception of COVID 19: Perspectives of Jeju Visitors
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kim Young-Nam , Hong Seong-Hwa
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this study is to investigate risk perception among tourists who visited Jeju during the spread of COVID-19. We sought to determine whether there is an optimistic bias. We also explored if individual risk perception, involvement, and self-efficacy against COVID-19. influence the optimistic bias. The global tourism market has been hit hard by the spread of the COVID-19. Even though people have avoided travel in order to escape the risk of infection, there are also tourists who have engaged in travel. This study investigated the risk perception and optimistic bias of travel behavior with 294 tourists who traveled Jeju Island during the spread of COVID-19. Empirical studies have shown that tourists have optimistic bias about the risk of COVID-19. This phenomenon was significantly higher in women than in men, and in the 20’s ages than in over 60’s. As a result of regression analysis using risk perception, involvement, and self-efficacy, it was found that risk perception and self-efficacy influence optimistic bias. This study suggests that optimistic bias is the cause of the behavioral tendency that is different from tourism avoidance behavior that appears through risk perception regarding the risk of COVID-19. The results of this study could play an important role in understanding tourists' perceptions and behavioral intentions of tourism threats such as infectious diseases and natural disasters. Practically, it may be possible to provide basic data for establishing a marketing strategy that can limit tourism activities to tourism threats or, conversely, attract tourists.

Ladislavella occulta (Jackiewicz, 1959) – a species of aquatic snails new for Hungary with remarks on its distribution in Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Vinarski Maxim V.
Published: November 2020

A finding of the lymnaeid species Ladislavella occulta (Jackiewicz, 1959) [Mollusca: Gastropoda: Lymnaeidae] in Hungary is reported, which is the first record of this snail in the country. The shells of L. occulta were found in 1989 in the marsh area of the Bátorliget Nature Reserve. The current distribution of this species in Eastern and Central Europe is reviewed. It is hypothesized that L. occulta represents a relic species, whose origin may be traced back to the Pleistocene

Published: November 2020

The intensively farmed fishponds of the Třeboň Basin in South Bohemia, Czech Republic host a substantial number Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) pairs that nest later than the expected spring season and instead in summer, which may be associated with fishpond farming. A two-factor nested ANOVA of Great Crested Grebe egg and clutch characteristics showed no differences between spring (May-June) and summer (July - August) seasonal clutches. High egg total volume in spring nests was significantly related to both decreasing distance between nests and decreasing number of nests on the fishpond. The increase of total egg volume in summer nests was significantly related to the distance to the edge of littoral vegetation. There is no substantial difference between spring and summer egg characteristics, but total egg volume in spring nests is dependent on other characteristics that those in summer nests.

Published: November 2020

Em virtude da pandemia relacionada ao novo coronavírus (COVID-19) e as ações de quarentena e distanciamento social, as aulas presenciais de cerca de 1,5 bilhão de estudantes em 165 países foram suspensas. Este estudo, portanto, tem por objetivo investigar as reações prospectivas de estudantes de cursos técnicos e superiores presenciais quanto às possibilidades de estudos remotos ou na modalidade EaD no período de distanciamento social no Brasil. Desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa com 264 estudantes por meio de um questionário on-line. Realizaram-se análises estatísticas multivariadas (p.ex., análise fatorial e regressão linear múltipla). Os resultados destacam o interesse dos estudantes em manter os estudos remotamente ou à distância. Entretanto, condições de acesso e uso de tecnologias, conjunturas socioeconômicas e a (des)motivação e influência do ambiente domiciliar mostram-se determinantes para continuidade e efetividade dos estudos.
Эпидемиологический переход и его интерпретации
Authors: Вишневский Анатолий Григорьевич
Published: November 2020

Критический анализ теории эпидемиологического перехода (ЭП) А. Омрана и ее различных интерпретаций. Ставится под сомнение предложенная Омраном периодизация ЭП, с ней сопоставляется разграничение двух «эпидемиологических революций» М. Терриса. Отмечается огромное всемирно-историческое значение ЭП как триггера и составной части демографического перехода в целом и обосновывается несогласие с трактовкой ЭП как составной части «санитарного перехода». Оспаривается концепция «кардиоваскулярной революции». Предлагается метод графического представления ЭП и обсуждаются критерии его завершения. Обосновывается несогласие с представлениями о «первом», неолитическом, и «третьем», ожидаемом в будущем, ЭП, а также об «обратном» ЭП. Рассматриваются проблемы «догоняющего» ЭП в развивающихся странах.
Влияние миграции на численность и возрастной состав населения муниципальных образований разных типов в Башкортостане

В статье произведена оценка вклада миграции в изменение численности и возрастной структуры населения различных типов муниципальных образований Республики Башкортостан. Среди таких типов выделены ядра (промышленные и образовательные центры, притягивающие человеческий капитал),  тяготеющие к ядрам муниципалитеты, численность населения которых растет за счет влияния ядер (пригородные территории), а также периферийные районы, миграция из которых в пределы Уфимской и Южно-Башкортостанской агломераций носит безвозвратный характер. На первом этапе выполнен ретроспективный прогноз для представителей трех выделенных типов муниципальных образований на период 2008-2018 гг. Согласно его результатам наибольший выигрыш миграция принесла не ядрам, а тяготеющим к ним пригородным муниципальным образованиям, что отразилось в приросте численности их населения практически во всех возрастных группах, но прежде всего населения предпенсионного и пенсионного возраста. На втором этапе проведено сценарное прогнозирование численности населения муниципальных образований на период до 2029 г. Выделены четыре сценария развития миграционной ситуации. Результаты прогнозирования указывают на то, что прирост численности населения ядер агломераций и их пригородных территорий возможен только за счет продолжения миграционного притока, который, однако, не окажет значительного влияния на возрастную структуру. В то же время периферийные муниципальные районы, продолжая терять население, значительно «постареют». Таким образом, развитие ядер и пригородных территорий тесно сопряжено с потерей демографического потенциала отдающими население периферийными территориями. В результате в среднесрочной перспективе в Республике Башкортостан ожидается замедление прироста численности населения центров агломераций.

Protocol for Use with Large Insert Libraries (470–520 bp) (NEB #E7120) v1
Authors: England Biolabs New
Published: November 2020

This protocol details how to construct Large Insert libraries from start to finish using NEBNext reagents. The corresponding NEB manual is here: https://www.neb.com/-/media/nebus/files/manuals/manuale7120.pdf and this protocol relates to section 2. Overview The Enzymatic Methyl-seq kit (EM-seq) for Illumina contains all the components needed to make libraries that are enzymatically modified to detect 5-methylcytosines (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosines (5hmC). Figure 1 is an overview of the EM-seq workflow. Firstly, a library is made by ligating EM-seq adaptor to sheared end repaired/dA-tailed genomic DNA. This is followed by two sets of enzymatic conversion steps to differentiate cytosines from 5mC and 5hmC. Finally, libraries are PCR amplified before sequencing. Figure 2 shows a comparison of the sodium bisulfite and EM-seq methods. Sodium bisulfite treatment of DNA results in the deamination of cytosines into uracils, however the modified forms of cytosine (5mC and 5hmC) are not deaminated. Therefore, the preference of bisulfite to chemically deaminate cytosines enables the methylation status of cytosines to be determined. When bisulfite treated DNA is PCR amplified, uracils are replaced by thymines and the 5mC/5hmC are replaced by cytosines. Once sequenced, unmethylated cytosines are represented by thymines and 5mC and 5hmC are represented by cytosines. By comparing sequences to non-converted genomes the appropriate methylation status can be assessed. Enzymatic Methyl-seq is a two step enzymatic conversion process to detect modified cytosines. The first step uses TET2 and an oxidation enhancer to protect modified cytosines from downstream deamination. TET2 enzymatically oxidizes 5mC and 5hmC through a cascade reaction into 5-carboxycytosine [5-methylcytosine (5mC) Þ5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) Þ 5-formylcytosine (5fC) Þ 5- carboxycytosine (5caC)]. This protects 5mC and 5hmC from deamination. 5hmC can also be protected from deamination by glucosylation to form 5ghmc using the oxidation enhancer. The second enzymatic step uses APOBEC to deaminate C but does not convert 5caC and 5ghmC. The resulting converted sequence can be analyzed like bisulfite-treated DNA. Typical aligners used to analyze data include but are not limited to Bismark and BWAMeth. The workflow described in the NEBNext Enzymatic Methyl-seq Kit is user-friendly and enables methylation detection from inputs ranging between 10 ng–200 ng. EM-seq converted DNA is more intact than bisulfite-converted DNA, resulting in libraries with longer sequencing reads, reduced GC bias and more even genome coverage. Each kit component must pass rigorous quality control standards, and for each new lot the entire set of reagents is functionally validated together by construction of indexed libraries and sequenced on an Illumina sequencing platform.
