Introduction Diabetic neuroosteoarthropathy (DNOAP) is a serious medical and social problem, a potentially life-threatening condition associated with increased mortality. Purpose Analysis of the literature data on DNOAP complicated by osteomyelitis in terms of pathogenesis and histological diagnostic methods. Materials and methods The review considers studies from various information systems (eLibrary.ru, PubMed, etc.) published from 2001 to 2021. Results Differential diagnosis of DNOAP and chronic osteomyelitis is a poorly understood issue. The "gold standard" in determining the nature of bone tissue destruction is bone biopsy. An analysis of the literature shows that changes in the structure of the bone in chronic osteomyelitis are of varying severity, and the determination of its boundaries is of considerable difficulty. Histomorphometric diagnostic criteria for chronic osteomyelitis have not been defined. Studies of pathomorphological changes in foot tissues affected by DNOAP are scarce. The most significant pathomorphological changes in the bone tissue in DNOAP are the following: focal necrosis, desolated osteocytic lacunae, endosteal resorption, thinning of the subchondral layer. The inflammatory infiltrate is mild or moderately expressed and is composed by lymphocytes, plasma cells and macrophages, rarely neutrophils and fibroblasts. One of the leading components in the initiation of pathological changes in the tissues of the foot affected by DNOAP is pronounced disorders in the structure of the vessel wall. Degeneration processes are expressed in peripheral nerves. Conclusion The pathogenesis of the Charcot foot and pathomorphological changes in the tissues of the foot, depending on etiopathogenetic factors and comorbidity, is not well understood. Histological studies of foot tissues in this pathology are promising for the differential and early diagnosis of Charcot foot, justifying the need for an individual approach to treatment, paying attention to certain morphological changes.

In this work we examined the synthesized N-alkynyl-17-aminosteroids and N-alkynyl-20-aminosteroids (based on dehydroepiandrosterone and pregnenolone, respectively) for their effect on C6 rat glioma cell functions. At 10 μM, the compounds had an insignificant effect on C6 glioma mitochondrial membrane potential, but increased cell autophagy by 70-90%, comparable to the known autophagy inducer dexamethasone. Docking simulations predict a potential high-affinity interaction between N-alkynylaminosteroids and Keap1 and the Hedgehog pathway protein, Smoothened, which are involved in autophagy regulation. The possible mechanisms of observed processes are discussed.
`You Can’t Be in Grade 12 and Don`T Have a Kid`. Boys’ Masculine Conversations Towards Impregnating in Namibian Schools: A Case Study of the Kavango East Region
Authors: Shikukutu Faustinus , Ramrathan Prevanand
Published: May 2022

The prevalence rate of adolescent pregnancies seems to be escalating in Namibia especially in Kavango East region. This study sought to find out the contribution boy`s masculine discourses made to teenage pregnancy in Kavango East Region. To answer the research problem, a qualitative research design using an interpretive paradigm was used. The study drew on in-depth, focus group and individual interviews with a diverse sample of 42 adolescent males aged 17 – 20 years in schools of Kavango East region in Namibia. Findings of this study revealed that boys’ masculine discourses play a significant role in determining teenage pregnancy in Namibian schools, especially for the inexperienced boys who listen to the discussions and attempt to experiment with sexual intercourse. Boys’ narratives regarding masculinity, sex, sexuality, and The article further foregrounds the imperative of addressing the need for more open communication on matters of sexuality with young people to be encouraged – especially with boys who are the main perpetrators of teenage pregnancy. Finally, more comprehensive gender education at school and traditional level should be provided to address gender disparity which consequently leads to teenage pregnancy.
Dr. Coping with the COVID-19 Pandemic in the U.S.
Authors: Travica Bob , Hoque Raqibul
Published: May 2022

As the COVID-19 pandemic spread from the Far East throughout the world, while the inoculation was unavailable, countries introduced public health emergencies that engaged various non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI). These restricted economic activity and private life. From the beginning, some countries at the source of the pandemic in the Far East implemented more comprehensive and restrictive NPI than Western countries. The former also experienced lower pandemic casualties. The United States of America (the U.S.) faced the first wave of the pandemic in April 2020, and by the end of 2021 recorded the largest nominal mortality in the world, ranking in the top 20 countries on the mortality rate per population. The country had pandemic plans in place and a capable healthcare system. This capability-mortality contrast motivated our investigation. The problem of confronting the pandemic has been studied by focusing on singular NPI. We took a more comprehensive approach by relying on a new research instrument labeled Pandemic Containment Strategy Index (PCSI) which covers 10 areas of NPI. Our investigation covered the period from the start of 2020 until May 31, 2021. We used two samples of American states and publicly available data sources, and covered the first pandemic wave (n=26 states) and the post-first wave period (n=9 states). We found that the U.S. restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations were in the mid-to-high range in the first wave, while the country underperformed in several NPI areas the PCSI addresses. Based on the PCSI classification of containment strategies, America's prevailing strategy was permissive. Central coordination was missing, tensions between medical and government authorities surfaced, and tests and protective equipment were lacking. In the post-first wave period, American states experienced additional and larger waves, while the strategic and operational problems continued. Our study contributes to understanding COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. and the global context, and it has implications for the future study of the PCSI in particular and NPI in general.

Detection of TCP-Based DDoS Attacks with SVM Classification with Different Kernel Functions Using Common Uncorrelated Feature Subsets
Authors: Dasari Kishore Babu , Devarakonda Nagaraju
Published: April 2022

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a server-side infrastructure type security attack that aims to prevent legitimate users from accessing server system resources. Huge financial losses, reputation damage and data theft are some of the serious circumstances of DDoS attacks. Available DDoS attack detection methods reduce the severity of the attack's consequences, but they require more data computation, which is more expensive. This research proposed two feature selection methods in order to reduce the data computation for TCP-based DDoS attack detection with Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification algorithm. The first feature selection proposal of this study is to use Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall correlation approaches to select the PSK common uncorrelated feature subset. Use these PSK common uncorrelated feature subsets with SVM classifier with different kernels on TCP-based DDoS attacks and evaluate the classification results. This research, performed operations on Syn flood, MSSQL, SSDP datasets have taken from the CIC-DDoS2019 evaluation dataset. Select TCP-based DDoS attacks common uncorrelated feature subset selected by applying intersection on Syn flood, MSSQL, and SSDP data sets PSK common uncorrelated feature subsets is the second feature selection proposal of this research. Use these TCP-based DDoS attacks common uncorrelated feature subsets with SVM classifier with different kernels on TCP-based DDoS attacks and evaluate the classification results. Results with these two proposed methods also compared in this study. Experiments have been performed with these two approaches on a customized TCP-based DDoS attack that's been developed with Syn flood, MSSQL, and SSDP data sets, and the results have been evaluated. Linear, rbf, poly, sigmoid kernels SVM kernels used in this research. Experiments conclude that SVM with rbf kernel produces better results on TCP-based DDoS attacks.

Published: April 2022

Tin (Sn) metal is used as a major ingredient in various levels of solders (both lead bearing and lead free) to join electronic components whereas, copper is the most common substrate material to be in direct contact with electronic solders. In this regard, study on the reaction between tin and copper (Cu) is of great practical interest. Copper substrates of two thicknesses (0.3 and 3 mm) were immersed in liquid tin (maintained at 350°C) for the duration of 3mins. An immersion and redrawn speed maintained was 2.5mm/s. An interfacial reaction between substrate metals of different thickness and liquid tin vice versa was investigated. Effect of substrate thickness on electrical resistivity and electrical conductivity was accessed. It was observed that as the thickness of Cu substrate increases both electrical conductivity decreases.
Amenities and accommodations for minorities in STEM
Authors: Gad Barien

This report will discuss why Illinois Tech needs to join other universities in bringing about adequate access to free menstrual sanitary products on their campus to ultimately combat period poverty amongst their students. 

Period poverty is defined as the inadequate access and disposal of menstrual sanitary products and affects one in ten college women currently in the United States. Period poverty disproportionately affects students of color, low-income students, and first-generation students.

While the critical targets in this project are women and the research and literature used to defend this report was data collected on women, it is just as important to accommodate for non-female menstruating students by supplying menstrual sanitary products in gender-neutral bathrooms as well. 

With a total student population of 7,792 students and a reported 37% female ratio, approximately 2,833 menstruating individuals are attending Illinois Tech and approximately 288 of those are currently experiencing a form of period poverty. Access to menstrual sanitary products is a form of inclusion and accommodation of the minority population at IIT. Illinois Tech struggles with a difficult gender ratio and should be pioneering efforts to support its women and gender minority students in succeeding by cultivating a supportive environment that caters to their natural biological needs.

The primary stakeholder is the institution that is to fund the effort. Supporting students by providing adequate access to menstrual sanitary products ultimately combats long-term implications of period poverty such as mental health, financial stress, and stigmas surrounding menstruation. 

The purpose of this project is to propose efficient and sustainable methods the university can implement to bring about free menstrual sanitary products and study the impact on the community.

Published: April 2022

The ability to predict genotypes that have not yet been tested is always a target of plant breeders. Over the last twenty years, many studies presented genomic selection (GS) as a tool contributing to this goal. Currently, many research papers have shown encouraging results in the application of GS. However, there are few examples of long-term, successful applications of GS in plant breeding programs. Furthermore, for breeders and researchers considering the application of GS, there are a series of important considerations on how to adapt a breeding program to maximize the benefit of GS, aiming to reduce the costs and maximize the genetic gains. Under this perspective, we present a review with a general view about applied GS in maize breeding, future perspectives of this technique, and an applied study case of a breeding program using GS. We attempt to provide a brief review of the literature with recent developments, as well as a discussion involving the number of markers required to deploy GS, the different statistical approaches to create GS models, the different ways to define training populations, and the incorporation of non-additive effects and genotype by environment interaction. We end with general recommendations and conclusions about some critical points about adopting GS in maize breeding.

Ubiór czy kostium? Rola mody w malarstwie i życiu Olgi Boznańskiej
Authors: Straszewska Anna
Published: April 2022

W malarstwie portretowym Olgi Boznańskiej siłą rzeczy ubiór odgrywa istotną rolę, a na jej obrazach można prześledzić zmiany w modzie, zwłaszcza kobiecej na przestrzeni pięćdziesięciu lat. Nie znaczy to jednak, że artystka była bezstronną dokumentalistką otaczającej rzeczywistości i rejestratorką sposobu ubierania swoich modeli i modelek. Ukształtowana przez środowisko artystyczne w Monachium doskonale znała praktykowane tam metody pracy z kostiumem i zasady malarstwa historycznego dostosowującego kostium do przyjętej stylistyki zainspirowanej twórczością dawnego mistrza. Szybko jednak odrzuciła balast odniesień historycznych nie rezygnując jednak z mniejszych lub większych ingerencji w strój osoby portretowanej w czym utwierdziło ją zetknięcie z twórczością Jamesa Abbotta McNeilla Whistlera. Analiza jej portretów pozwala prześledzić, w jaki sposób posługiwała się ubiorem dla wydobycia osobowości modela, ale przede wszystkim by uzyskać zamierzone efekty formalne, traktując stroje jako inspirację i pretekst dla studiowania niuansów barwnych. W tym celu często posługiwała się upinanymi i drapowanymi tkaninami, szalami, chustami, czy futrami, za pomocą których nadawała malowanemu ubiorowi charakter efemerycznego kostiumu malarskiego. Również jej własny coraz bardziej staroświecki ubiór mógł stanowić nie tylko świadectwo pogłębiającej się depresji i problemów finansowych, a raczej służył podkreśleniu poświęcenia sztuce i szczególnego statusu artystki poprzez wyrzeczenie doczesnego życia i związanej z tym tradycyjnej roli przypisanej kobietom, których status w szczególny sposób determinowały modne stroje i nienaganny wygląd.
Striving for modernity: The jewellery making in The Second Polish Republic (1918–1939)
Authors: Lipczik Agata
Published: April 2022

The article attempts to describe the condition of jewellery making in interwar Poland and to indicate the major problems hampering its development. While discussing the jewellery exhibition at the Polish General Exhibition in 1929, the main trends in the commercial vein, as well as the most important representatives of the industry were indicated. Attention was also paid to the jewellers, whose works might be an example of the search for the Polish Art Déco style. Based on the content published in the domestic trade press, which was the main communication platform for the craftsmen and merchants in Poland, the influence of the world’s leading French industry was highlighted. It was noted that even though the jewellers in Poland faced many difficulties throughout the interwar period, they tried to learn from the experiences of their colleagues from Paris. This applied to issues related to the design and manufacturing of jewellery as well as running businesses. As one of the first devoted to the topic, the paper may serve as reference for further research related to jewellery making in the 1920s and 30s, not merely in Poland, but also in East-Central Europe.

Published: April 2022

Background: The excessive usage of chemical fertilizers and the negligence on soil health regarding the conservation and use of organic sources of nutrients have not only caused the exhaustion of soil nutrient reserves but also resulted in soil health problems which is not conducive to achieving consistent increase in agricultural production. The beneficial influence of organic matter on the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil is well known, the full appreciation of the same remains which is unfortunately ignored in modern agriculture. The regular recycling of organic wastes in the soil is the most efficient method of maintaining optimum nutrient reserves of soil and nutrient uptake by the plant. The Present Study was conducted to evaluate the nutrient status of soil under integrated usage of organic and inorganic sources. Methods: A field experiment entitled “Nutrient Management Interventions in Rice-Ragi Sequence” was conducted during kharif and rabi seasons of 2017-18 and 2018-19 on sandy loam soil of the Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla. The seven treatments consisted of T1: 100% RDF (100-60-40 kg N-P-K ha-1); T2: 100% RDF + Soil application of ZnSO4 @ 50 kg ha-1; T3: 125% RDF+Soil application of ZnSO4 @ 50 kg ha-1; T4: 75% RDF + Poultrymanure @ 0.82 t ha-1 + Soil application of ZnSO4 50 kg ha-1; T5: 75% RDF + FYM @ 5.0 t ha-1 + Soil application of ZnSO4 @ 50 kg ha-1; T6:50% RDF + Poultrymanure @ 1.6 t ha-1 + Soil application of ZnSO4 @ 50 kg ha-1 and T7: 50% RDF + FYM @ 10 t ha-1 + Soil application of ZnSO4 @ 50 kg ha-1. The experiment was laidout in randomized block design with seven treatments and replicated thrice during kharif rice and in rabi each kharif treatment was subdivided into four sub treatments (S1: Nofertilizer, S2: 100% RDF, S3:75% RDF and S4:50% RDF) and hence, The split plot design was adopted in rabi. Total No.of plots per each replication in the rabi was 28 (7x4=28). Result: Nutrient content and uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and zinc have increased significantly with the fertility levels and organics. 50% RDF + FYM @ 10 t ha-1 + ZnSO4 @ 50 kg ha-1 recorded the highest nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and zinc contents and uptakes in grain and straw of rice. In no till rabi ragi, N, P, K, Zn and calcium content and uptake in grain and straw were found to be significantly superior with 100% RDF (S2) to the rest of the treatments in both the years and in pooled data.

When a country’s balance of trade persistently records deficits, the most important policy is to devalue the exchange rate. This article aims to explore the symmetric effect of the exchange rate and its transmission channels on the trade balance. The recently developed method of Non-linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) was utilized for Quarterly data from 1990 Q1 to 2019 Q4 in unexplored areas of East African Community (EAC -5) members. The study found the presence of robust symmetric and asymmetric negative effects of exchange rate changes on trade balance only in Uganda, both in the short-run and long-run. Meanwhile, there was no evidence of robust J-curve phenomena within EAC members. Generally, the application of exchange rate policy in improving trade imbalance is doubted within the EAC region.

Transformación urbana reciente y turismo globalizado en el centro de Medellín
Authors: Arango-Marín Miguel
Published: April 2022

En este trabajo se busca mostrar cómo los procesos de transformación urbana que ha tenido el centro de Medellín en los últimos años, se corresponden con la planeación institucional sobre el cambio decidido que ha tenido la ciudad al superar y “pasar la página” de su violento pasado. Con ello se ha conseguido realizar, de la mano de sistemáticos esfuerzos de marketing de la ciudad, un cambio de la imagen de Medellín a nivel internacional: pasando de ser una ciudad híper violenta a ser considerada una ciudad abierta al mundo, innovadora y, especialmente, atractiva para el turismo globalizado. Siguiendo esta línea, se pondrá en evidencia cómo los recorridos y narraciones promovidos por actores turísticos locales se han encargado de constituir y reiterar una narrativa sobre el centro, estrechamente vinculada con un dicho discurso institucional oficial, que tiende a la homogenización de las memorias, las complejidades y la diversidad propias de la vida urbana de este sector de la ciudad.
Replication or Reinvention: Educators’ Narratives on Teaching in Higher Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Manokore Viola , Kuntz Jeff
Published: April 2022

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to examine narratives about the effect of the sudden transition from face-to-face teaching to emergency remote teaching necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic on post-secondary educators. Method: We conducted interviews with 11 post-secondary educators from five post-secondary institutes in one province in Canada. Educators were asked to reflect on their experiences during the transition from in-person to remote teaching and learning. Results: Our thematic analysis revealed that educators’ experiences were influenced by three main factors: (a) student engagement, interactions, and persistence in learning; (b) competence in the application of teacher technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK); and (c) overall well being of faculty and students. Conclusions: Participants had unique experiences, and institutions varied in the ways they supported students and staff. Those educators who had expertise, experience, or professional support in technology and teaching seemed to have an easier transition. Implication for Theory and Practice: Higher education institutes should support educators in enhancing their technological pedagogical knowledge and in facilitating learning in various delivery modalities.

Background

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that between 28.5% and 44.1% of adults in the US sleep less than seven hours nightly.

Aims

The aim of this quality improvement project was to improve sleep quality and duration among patients aged 40 and older with insomnia disorder in an outpatient mental health clinic.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with insomnia disorder who were sleeping less than seven hours at least three nights weekly participated in the project ( n = 20). Sleep hygiene education was provided and participants kept a sleep diary. The duration and quality of sleep was evaluated by comparing the information recorded in the diaries with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition description of insomnia disorder.

Authors: Matthes Jill , Crum Tracy , Owens Jacqueline K.
Published: May 2022

Nursing education to prepare students for practice traditionally includes teaching knowledge and developing clinical judgment in the physical classroom, laboratory, and clinical setting. The Covid-19 pandemic presented challenges previously unseen in academia. An abrupt shift to online learning was associated with higher levels of stress and anxiety. In response, the faculty at a mid-sized, rural, four-year private university in the Midwest incorporated mindfulness and resilience practices into courses to promote coping mechanisms for use throughout nursing school and in future practice, and surveyed students to determine the degree to which they used the mindfulness and resilience strategies provided. This article describes the implementation of the strategies, survey results, and lessons learned to inform use in the future.

Authors: Rubio Alicia , Rubio Alberto , Moreno Jose F.
Published: May 2022

Using data from the 2016 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) and the Family Life Cycle (FLC) and Human Capital Theory (HCT) as a framework, this study examined if factors related to the likelihood of financial ratio adequacy and financial well-being differ for Hispanic and non-Hispanic White households. Hispanics’ comprehensive financial well-being was assessed with three ratios: Liquidity, solvency, and investments/assets. Results of logistic regressions with 612 Hispanic and 4,481 non-Hispanic headed households show that FLC and HCT factors are associated with financial ratios differently between two race/ethnicity groups. For Hispanic households, age is positively related to adequate investment/assets ratio and financial well-being; education is positively related to adequate investment/assets but negatively related to adequate solvency. Implications for practitioners working with Hispanics are discussed.

Over the past six years, the use of social media, including Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp, has been a vital part of APRA’s Communications Strategy in raising awareness of the programme’s activities and outputs. Since 2016, APRA’s social media profile has been embedded within the Future Agricultures Consortium’s (FAC) well-established online channels – including Facebook and Twitter – with the view to increase FAC’s followings and enhance APRA’s visibility. The Impact, Communication and Engagement team has been responsible for developing APRA’s Digital Strategy and tracking the impact of social media activities, including sharing APRA’s publications and news on events, and promoting APRA’s key research messages. This report explores this impact, what went well, and what could be improved as future programmes plan their own social media efforts.
