Published: July 2020

Background: Acute beetroot juice (BJ) intake has shown to enhance aerobic and anaerobic performance. However, no studies have evaluated the effects of BJ intake on CrossFit (CF) performance by linking hormonal, metabolic, and mechanical responses. The purpose of this study was to determine the causal physiological association between hormonal, metabolic and mechanical responses, and CF workouts performance after acute BJ intake. Methods: Twelve well-trained male practitioners undertook a CF workout ﻿after drinking 140 mL of BJ (~ 12.8 mmol NO3−) or placebo. The two experimental conditions (BJ or placebo) were administered using a randomized, double-blind, crossover design. The CF workout consisted of repeating the same exercise routine twice: Wall ball (WB) shots plus full back squat (FBS) with 3-min rest (1st routine) or without rest (2nd routine) between the two exercises. A 3-min rest was established between the two exercise routines. Results: An interaction effect was observed in the number of repetitions performed (p = 0.04). The Bonferroni test determined a higher number of repetitions after BJ than placebo intake when a 3-min rest between WB and FBS (1st routine) was established (p = 0.007). An interaction effect was detected in cortisol response (p = 0.04). Cortisol showed a higher increase after BJ compared to placebo intake (76% vs. 36%, respectively). No interaction effect was observed in the testosterone and testosterone/cortisol ratio (p > 0.05). A significant interaction effect was found in oxygen saturation (p = 0.01). A greater oxygen saturation drop was observed in BJ compared to placebo (p < 0.05). An interaction effect was verified in muscular fatigue (p = 0.03) with a higher muscular fatigue being observed with BJ than placebo (p = 0.02). Conclusions: BJ intake improved anaerobic performance only after the recovery time between exercises. This increase in performance in the first routine probably generated greater hypoxia in the muscle mass involved, possibly conditioning post-exercise performance. This was observed with a fall in oxygen saturation and in muscle fatigue measured at the end of the CF workout. The greatest perceived changes in cortisol levels after BJ intake could be attributed to the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway

Published: July 2020

Background Dietary factors may modulate many complex interactions between the microbiome, metabolome, and immune system and can have an impact on the functional status of older adults. Sulforaphane (SFN), a natural compound and Nrf2-related activator of cytoprotective genes, provides a wide range of biological effects from cancer prevention to reducing insulin resistance. We have shown that SFN increased survival and improved cardiac and skeletal muscle function in a mouse model of aging. This study aims to investigate the anti-aging effects of SFN on the gut microbiome and metabolome.Results Young (6-8 weeks of age) and old (21-22 months of age) male C57BL/6J mice were provided regular rodent chow or chow containing SFN for 2 months. Fecal samples were collected right before and at the completion of SFN administration. We profiled the gut microbiome and applied global metabolomic profiling to fecal samples. Multi-omics datasets were analyzed individually and integrated to investigate the relationship between SFN diet, the microbiome, and metabolome. Microbial diversity, composition and functional capacity varied substantially across different age groups. On a global level, in old mice we observed that the SFN diet restored the gut microbiome to mimic that in young mice. In old mice, the SFN diet enriched bacteria associated with an improved intestinal barrier function and the production of anti-inflammatory compounds. In addition, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, central in cellular respiration, was decreased and amino acid metabolism-related pathways were increased. SFN diet induced metabolite biomarkers in old mice that are associated majorly with the genera, Oscillospira , Ruminococcus , and Allobaculum.Conclusion In old mice, SFN directed the metabolic potential to that of young animals. Integrated microbiome and metabolome analyses revealed metabolite biomarkers that could be modulated by bacteria and contribute to the anti-aging effects of SFN. Collectively, our results provide evidence in support of a novel hypothesis that SFN diet exerts anti-aging effects by influencing the gut microbiome and metabolome. Although further investigations are needed to identify precise mechanisms, modulating the gut microbiome by SFN may have the potential to promote healthier aging.

Analytical approach to digital channel performance optimization of mobile money transactions in emerging markets
Authors: Dairo Adeolu , Szűcs Krisztián
Published: July 2020

Understanding marketing channel performance is a crucial and complex task for the mobile financial technology segment of the mobile industry in emerging markets. However, poor techniques and capabilities for channel optimization of the mobile money users across available channels by the service providers often undermine the performance of these channels. The research aims to develop a target selection and campaign optimization framework for mobile money customers along two channels of transactions. It is complemented by mapping the appropriate campaign techniques across digital and non-digital channels of mobile money transactions. The key analytical method is the combination of fuzzy c-means clustering and RFM algorithm for the target selection development through the usage logs of customers (n = 300) of a mobile service provider. The results indicated that fuzzy c-means clustering and RFM algorithm are efficient for target selection. Also, the mapping of clusters with the appropriate channel of transactions revealed that mobile money users’ transactions could be optimized along the digital channel. The analytic model’s output enables appropriate cross-selling and up-selling campaigns that optimize the service provider revenue from existing and new mobile money users within the customer base. The channel evaluation revealed mobile application channels to be a promising and future channel for mobile money transactions as smartphone penetration continues to grow in emerging mobile markets. That is a positive sign of the digital channel’s future potential for mobile money transactions in developing markets.

Pathogenetic significance of the use of a humanized monoclonal antibody to the IL-6-α receptor (tocilizumab) in the treatment of immuno-inflammatory diseases
Authors: Mazurov V. I. , Belyaeva I. B. , Samigullina R. R. , Chudinov A. L. , Dadalova A. M.
Published: July 2020

The article discusses the participation of interleukin-6 (IL6) in the formation of pathogenetic mechanisms of immuno-inflammatory diseases (IID). IL6 is one of the central cytokine in progressive IID. The biological activity of IL6 is determined by its ability to activate target genes that regulate differentiation, apoptosis and proliferation of immunocompetent cells. The immune-inflammatory effects of IL6 include regulation of the acute phase reaction, differentiation of immune cells, switching from innate to adaptive type of immune response (activation of T-helper 17 (Th17) cells and T-follicular Th-cells, suppression of the formation of T-regulatory cells, synthesis antibodies by B cells), stimulation of hematopoiesis (maturation of myeloid progenitors and megakaryocytes, leading to neutrophilia and thrombocytosis), neoangiogenesis, osteoclast-mediated bone remodeling. Currently, the use of a humanized monoclonal antibody to the IL-6α receptor (tocilizumab) is one of the most promising directions in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic scleroderma, large arterial vasculitis – aortoarteritis, temporal arteritis. The use of tocilizumab is included in the draft recommendations for the treatment of IID in conditions of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) developed by the All-Russian public organization “Association of Rheumatologists of Russia”. The presented data from international and domestic studies, as well as our own clinical experience, suggest that Tocilizumab (Actemra) is a highly effective and safe genetic engineering biological drug (GEBD) in the treatment of IID, and its use leads to a decrease in clinical and immunological activity and helps to improve life prognosis both when appointing as a first-line GEBD therapy and in case of ineffectiveness of other biological drugs and basic anti-inflammatory drugs in this category of patients.
Low back pain: what should a doctor know?
Authors: Pizova N. V.
Published: July 2020

Low back pain is an important public health problem and one of the major causes of disability worldwide, as well as a symptomatic and benign condition. The article describes the main mechanical, systemic and non-specific causes of pain development. The “red flag” symptoms, which call for special attention from the practitioner, are considered in detail and if they are detected, a thorough diagnostic search for the causes of the pain syndrome is required. It is noted that a specific cause of pain can only be detected in a small percentage of patients. Emphasis is placed on the diagnosis and differential diagnosis carried out in individuals with low back pain, indicating the features of anamnestic data and the results of an objective examination. Non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging is considered the best imaging method for examining low back pain, when conservative treatment fails or when red flag symptoms indicating the underlying cause of the pain are present. Imaging is not recommended for most patients with nonspecific mechanical low back pain. The author presents the main therapy approaches in the treatment of acute and chronic low back pain. Several treatment methods can be used to treat acute or chronic low back pain, which are aimed at reducing the intensity of pain syndrome and improving the patient’s quality of life. The main groups of drugs used in these patients are described. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and nimesulide in particular are discussed in more depth.

Fusing Multiple Biological Networks to Effectively Predict miRNA-disease Associations
Authors: Zhu Qingqi , Fan Yongxian , Pan Xiaoyong
Published: July 2020

Background:

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding RNAs with
about 22 nucleotides, and they play a significant role in a variety of complex biological processes.
Many researches have shown that miRNAs are closely related to human diseases. Although the
biological experiments are reliable in identifying miRNA-disease associations, they are timeconsuming
and costly.

Objective:

Thus, computational methods are urgently needed to effectively predict miRNA-disease
associations.

Methods:

In this paper, we proposed a novel method, BIRWMDA, based on a bi-random walk
model to predict miRNA-disease associations. Specifically, in BIRWMDA, the similarity network
fusion algorithm is used to combine the multiple similarity matrices to obtain a miRNA-miRNA
similarity matrix and a disease-disease similarity matrix, then the miRNA-disease associations were
predicted by the bi-random walk model.

Results:

To evaluate the performance of BIRWMDA, we ran the leave-one-out cross-validation and
5-fold cross-validation, and their corresponding AUCs were 0.9303 and 0.9223 ± 0.00067,
respectively. To further demonstrate the effectiveness of the BIRWMDA, from the perspective of
exploring disease-related miRNAs, we conducted three case studies of breast neoplasms, prostate
neoplasms and gastric neoplasms, where 48, 50 and 50 out of the top 50 predicted miRNAs were
confirmed by literature, respectively. From the perspective of exploring miRNA-related diseases, we
conducted two case studies of hsa-mir-21 and hsa-mir-155, where 7 and 5 out of the top 10 predicted
diseases were confirmed by literatures, respectively.

Conclusion:

The fusion of multiple biological networks could effectively predict miRNA-diseases
associations. We expected BIRWMDA to serve as a biological tool for mining potential miRNAdisease
associations.
In Vitro Antifungal Activity of Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles in Comparison to Conventional Antifungal Drugs Against Trichophyton Interdigitale, Trichophyton Rubrum and Epidermophyton Floccosum
Authors: Mahmoudi Shahram , Vahidi Mahmoud , Malekabad Ebadollah Shiri , Izadi Alireza , Khatami Mehrdad , Dadashi Alireza
Published: July 2020

Background:

Dermatophytosis is a globally distributed fungal infection. Treatment failure and relapse is common in this disease. Silver nanoparticle are known for their promising antimicrobial activity. The aim of this study was to determine the antifungal activity
of these nanoparticles against common dermatophyte species.

Methods:

A set of 30 molecularly identified dermatophytes including Trichophyton interdigitale (n=10), Trichophyton rubrum (n=10), and
Epidermophyton floccosum (n=10) were used in this study. Green synthesized silver nanoparticles using chicory (Cichorium intybus) were
tested for their antifungal activity in comparison to fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine. Interspecies differences in minimum inhibitory concentrations of antifungal drugs and silver nanoparticles were tested using Kruskal–Wallis test in SPSS software version 21.

Results:

The highest minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) among antifungal drugs were observed
for fluconazole [range: 4–64 μg/mL, geometric mean (GM) =17.959 μg/mL], followed by
itraconazole (range: 0.008–0.5, GM= 0.066) and terbinafine (range: 0.004–0.25 μg/mL, GM=0.027
μg/mL). Silver nanoparticles showed potent antifungal activity against all dermatophyte isolates
with MICs (range: 0.25–32 μg/mL, GM=4.812 μg/mL) higher than those of itraconazole and terbinafine,
but lower than fluconazole.

:

MIC values of silver nanoparticles demonstrated significant differences between species
(P=0.044), with E. floccosum having the highest MICs (GM=9.849 μg/mL) compared to T. interdigitale
(GM=3.732 μg/mL) and T. rubrum (GM=3.031 μg/mL).

Conclusion:

Silver nanoparticles demonstrated promising anti-dermatophyte activity against the
studied dermatophytes. Due to their wide-spectrum activity against other fungal and bacterial pathogens,
they could be a potential choice, at least in the case of cutaneous and superficial infections.

Static and Mobile Scenarios
Authors: Al-Qassas Raad S.
Published: July 2020

:

The majority of routing algorithms proposed for IoT can be categorized under modifications
in routing protocols designated for IoT such as RPL objective functions enhancements, while
others are enhancements in routing algorithms derived from those which were designed for ad hoc
networks. We have thoroughly investigated the literature on these modifications or enhancements.
However, there is a lack of an in-depth study to examine the impact of mobility and the varying
number of sinks on routing algorithms based on MRHOF and OF0. In this study, we examine their
ability in distributing the load with the impact of the varying number of sink nodes under static and
mobile scenarios. This study has been conducted using various metrics including regular metrics
such as throughput and power consumption, and newly derived metrics including packets load deviation
and power deviation which are derived for the purpose of measuring load distribution.

Demographic Characteristics and Noneconomic Outcomes of Women Entrepreneurs with Moderation of Barriers: The Case of Small Enterprises in Rural Coastal Area of Indonesia
Authors: Putriantini Ika Nur , Takahashi Yoshi
Published: July 2020

As a means of escaping poverty, women often become entrepreneurs while maintaining a traditional occupation and this may limit their ability to take full advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities. This study provides a relevant examination of women entrepreneurs in a rural coastal area of a developing country; as such, it helps contribute to perspectives on demographic characteristics, on the barriers to, and the noneconomic outcomes of women entrepreneurs in the rural areas of developing countries. The results demonstrate that all the demographic characteristics of women entrepreneurs correlate significantly with noneconomic outcomes. Meanwhile, only three of five barriers were found to moderate the relationship between the demographic characteristics and noneconomic outcomes. These barriers are likely to affect the real-world relationship between the demographic characteristics and non-economic outcomes. For that reason, great attentions need to be given for policy makers to improve the presence of small enterprises.

Hoy, cuando los poderosos de la tierra avanzan a la velocidad de un meteoro con el solo objetivo de mercantilizarla en su provecho –su lógica es el ganador se lo lleva todo–; cuando, necesitados de desigualdad (se nutren de interdependencia asimétrica), ahondan la brecha abierta en el mundo y distancian cada vez más a sus dos mitades –la del hambre y la de la hartura–; cuando siembran el pensamiento propio por todo el planeta y convierten el ajeno en uno de baja intensidad, en un pensamiento cero; cuando roban lo más precioso del ser humano, que es la palabra; cuando, en resumen, la globalización del Mercado nos aniquila, este artículo penetra en la senda del fenómeno, localiza sus hitos –desigualdad y lejanía entre los hombres, desalojo del pensamiento, hurto del logos – y, sirviéndose de ellos, construye un camino de vuelta, de ascensión: rescate de la palabra (bella, o sea, propia), pensamiento complejo y cercanía e igualdad de todos los seres humanos.
I cannot change, so I buy who I am: How mindset predicts conspicuous consumption
Authors: Sun Lining , Li Jiqiang , Hu Yi
Published: July 2020

People's mindset comprises the beliefs they endorse about whether human attributes are fixed or malleable, and these beliefs then shape their motivations and behaviors. We conducted an empirical examination of the relationship between mindset and conspicuous consumption, and investigated
whether performance goal orientation mediates this relationship. We found that, relative to those who believe that personality is malleable (growth mindset), consumers who believe that personality cannot be changed (fixed mindset) are more likely to engage in conspicuous consumption. Further,
performance goal orientation mediated the relationship between mindset and conspicuous consumption. These findings point to the importance of researchers and practitioners examining how people's meaning system affects their behaviors as consumers.
Self-concept and abstinence motivation in male drug addicts: Coping style as a mediator
Authors: Chen Meirong , Zeng Xiaoqing , Chen Yuling
Published: July 2020

Abstinence motivation is an important psychological factor in staving off a relapse in synthetic drug addiction. We explored the psychological factors that affect abstinence motivation among 732 male drug addicts in China. Participants answered a survey comprising the Tennessee SelfConcept
Scale, the Stress Coping Style Questionnaire, and the Drug Abstinence Motivation Scale. Results show significantly positive correlations among self-concept, coping style, and abstinence motivation. Coping style played a mediating role between self-concept and abstinence motivation, that is,
self-concept affects abstinence motivation by influencing the coping style. Results have practical implications for substance abuse treatment in Mainland China by illustrating a focus on the fostering of a positive self-concept and coping style in the face of stress to enhance abstinence motivation
and reduce the relapse rate.

Recent work has deployed linear combinations of unitaries techniques to reduce the cost of fault-tolerant quantum simulations of correlated electron models. Here, we show that one can sometimes improve upon those results with optimized implementations of Trotter-Suzuki-based product formulas. We show that low-order Trotter methods perform surprisingly well when used with phase estimation to compute relative precision quantities (e.g. energies per unit cell), as is often the goal for condensed-phase systems. In this context, simulations of the Hubbard and plane-wave electronic structure models with N<105 fermionic modes can be performed with roughly O(1) and O(N2) T complexities. We perform numerics revealing tradeoffs between the error and gate complexity of a Trotter step; e.g., we show that split-operator techniques have less Trotter error than popular alternatives. By compiling to surface code fault-tolerant gates and assuming error rates of one part per thousand, we show that one can error-correct quantum simulations of interesting, classically intractable instances with a few hundred thousand physical qubits.

Young women who are pregnant, based on research will experience several things, such as will experience bleeding, miscarriage, and difficulty in the process of childbirth. Therefore, early marriage has many negative impacts that are very important to be known by both teenagers and parents. Underage marriage phenomenon is not new in Indonesia as in the case of Syech praise and Lutfiana ulfa that caused controversy in the year 2009 ago, there are hundreds of cases underage marriages that do not stick to the surface and expose the media. In rural areas, there are many cases of underage marriages, such as in the Takengon area, Aceh Tengah District, Aceh Province, there are many cases of underage marriage, how is criminal policy in prevention of marriage of minors? A pakah effort undertaken in countermeasures of marriage of minors in Takengon Regency Central Aceh? Although countermeasures have been undertaken but underage marriages are still rife due to the absence of specific and firm legal arrangements concerning marriage of minors. Minors under Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage are children aged 19 years for men and 16 years for women. Although it has been affirmed that the minimum age limit is allowed to marry by law, on the other hand it is given an exception for marriage.

Published: July 2020

Introducción: La satisfacción laboral y el clima organizacional son variables esenciales en la gestión de organizaciones. Su carencia contribuye a la aparición de efectos adversos como el ausentismo, rotación profesional y aparición de disfunciones o enfermedades, lo cual impacta en la organización, personal de salud y usuarios.

Objetivo: Determinar si existe relación entre la satisfacción laboral y el clima organizacional percibido por funcionarios de atención primaria de salud de una comuna en Chile.

Materiales y métodos: Estudio analítico de corte transversal en 110 funcionarios pertenecientes a dos Centros de Salud Familiar de una comuna en Chile. Se aplicó las escalas para medir satisfacción laboral y clima organizacional de Chiang et al. (2010). Para explorar correlaciones se utilizó prueba Rho de Spearmann.

Resultados: Ambos centros de salud presentaron un nivel medio de satisfacción laboral (3,32 ± 0,93) y clima organizacional (3,45 ± 0,83) de un máximo de 5. La dimensión con promedio general más bajo de satisfacción laboral fue satisfacción por el ambiente físico (2,80 ± 0,93) y para clima organizacional fue reconocimiento (3,12 ± 0,77). En cuanto al promedio general más alto fue satisfacción con que realiza su trabajo (3,56 ± 0,87) y confianza (3,66 ± 0,88) respectivamente. La correlación entre los puntajes globales de ambas escalas fue estadísticamente significativa 0,636 (p≤0,001).

Conclusión: La percepción de un clima organizacional alto se relaciona con un mayor nivel de satisfacción laboral en los funcionarios de salud estudiados.

Authors: Millan Estupiñan Juan Carlos
Published: July 2020

Con el fin de establecer diferencias entre las escalas de valoración de riesgo de desarrollo de ulceras por presión (Braden y EVARUCI) en pacientes críticos, como los que se encuentran hospitalizados en las unidades de cuidado intensivo. Se realizó la validez de ambas escalas determinando la sensibilidad, especificidad y valores predictivos. Para el estudio se seleccionaron consecutivamente pacientes mayores de edad, sin ulceras por presión en cualquier estadio, que ingresaron para ser hospitalizados con diagnóstico de cualquier patología. Se determinó que no hubo una verdadera diferencia entre la sensibilidad de ambas escalas, que la especificidad de la escala de EVARUCI fue mayor al igual que el valor predictivo positivo y no se evidenció diferencias significativas en el valor predictivo negativo. Se pudo concluir que la escala de EVARUCI es un instrumento predictor valido para la detección del riesgo de desarrollo de UPP ya que además valora aspectos, como nivel de consciencia, estado hemodinámico, soporte de oxígeno, movilidad, temperatura, saturación, entre otros.
