BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest public health crisis of the last 100 years. Countries have responded with various levels of lockdown to save lives and stop health systems from being overwhelmed. At the same time, lockdowns entail large socioeconomic costs. One exit strategy under consideration is a mobile phone app that traces the close contacts of those infected with COVID-19. Recent research has demonstrated the theoretical effectiveness of this solution in different disease settings. However, concerns have been raised about such apps because of the potential privacy implications. This could limit the acceptability of app-based contact tracing in the general population. As the effectiveness of this approach increases strongly with app uptake, it is crucial to understand public support for this intervention.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study is to investigate the user acceptability of a contact-tracing app in five countries hit by the pandemic.

METHODS

We conducted a largescale, multicountry study (N=5995) to measure public support for the digital contact tracing of COVID-19 infections. We ran anonymous online surveys in France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States. We measured intentions to use a contact-tracing app across different installation regimes (voluntary installation vs automatic installation by mobile phone providers) and studied how these intentions vary across individuals and countries.

RESULTS

We found strong support for the app under both regimes, in all countries, across all subgroups of the population, and irrespective of regional-level COVID-19 mortality rates. We investigated the main factors that may hinder or facilitate uptake and found that concerns about cybersecurity and privacy, together with a lack of trust in the government, are the main barriers to adoption.

CONCLUSIONS

Epidemiological evidence shows that app-based contact tracing can suppress the spread of COVID-19 if a high enough proportion of the population uses the app and that it can still reduce the number of infections if uptake is moderate. Our findings show that the willingness to install the app is very high. The available evidence suggests that app-based contact tracing may be a viable approach to control the diffusion of COVID-19.
Acordes vitruvianos en Leonardo

En el Libro III del De Architectura, Vitruvio describió lo que a su parecer debería medir el hombre. Quince siglos más tarde, recuperado este texto y puesto en manos de Leonardo da Vinci, el modelo vitruviano se dice encontró quien lo ilustrara. El resultado fue el ‘hombre de Vitruvio’, la imagen que se ha convertido en símbolo de la cultura pop y la más famosa de nuestro tiempo, según muchos autores. Para quienes han abordado el estudio de esta imagen, sea desde una perspectiva histórico–filosófica, físico–matemática o artístico–musical, es evidente la complejidad del tema y que su entendimiento nos enfrenta con múltiples interrogantes. El texto que aquí se presenta explora algunos de los elementos más relevantes en torno de esta imagen y en particular se ocupa de analizar algunas de las propuestas que se han presentado para explicar el proceso de elaboración geométrica de esta maravillosa imagen. La conclusión es que el enigma permanece como tal.
La modernidad “americana” y el nuevo despojo espiritual en América Latina
Authors: Simbaña Lincango Wilmer
Published: May 2020

La modernidad, como proyecto civilizatorio surgido en el siglo XVI, se perfecciona en la propuesta de la modernidad de los Estados Unidos, la cual configura un ethos altamente compatible con las lógicas del capitalismo/colonialismo. Al igual que las anteriores versiones de la modernidad, la estadounidense tuvo un importante soporte en un sistema específico de creencias religiosas. Así, del protestantismo puritano “americano” se pasará al nacimiento del pentecostalismo, en donde la práctica religiosa con fines de despojo se afina en la teología o evangelio de la prosperidad. Esta doctrina, que se encuentra en auge en América Latina, mantiene la continuidad del despojo y colonialidad en la región.

Hypertension is a disease that affects many older adults, with prevalence increasing every year. Hypertension is caused by nutritional status, diet, and less effective sleep quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status, food intake, and sleep quality, with blood pressure in the age group > 45 years in Posbindu Mawar, Kebayoran Lama Selatan. This study used a cross-sectional method with a sample of 47 people taken by the total sampling technique. Weight and height data were taken by anthropometric measurements, blood pressure data were taken using a Sphygmomanometer, dietary data were taken by interview using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire Form and sleep quality data were taken using The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Questionnaire. Data analysis techniques used the Chi-Square test. This research resulted in high blood pressure (72.7%), poor sleep quality (61.7%), and normal nutritional status (44.7%). The results showed that sodium intake and sleep quality were related to blood pressure (p<0.05). Whereas nutritional status, fat intake, and potassium intake were not related to blood pressure (p>0.05). Based on this research, the advice given is to provide counseling about balanced nutritional eating patterns, weight monitoring so that nutritional status remains controlled and education about psychological health that is often experienced by the elderly and elderly such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders.

The metabolic syndrome is the cause of death around the world caused by diabetic mellitus. Binahong leaf is a kind of plant that is widely used to treat various diseases. This study aims to investigate the inhibitory activity of binahong leaves compound in inhibiting the aldose reductase which has role of converting glucose into sorbitol by docking simulation. The compound of binahong leaves consists of ursolic acid, vitexin, and oleonolic acid (ligand testing). These compound were taken from PubChem site, while aldose reductase enzyme (receptor) was obtained from the world protein bank with PDB 2HV5 code. This study incorporated in silica technique by using Auto dock vina software, Discovery Studio and Ligplot as visualization. The result of grid box optimization by redocking comparative ligand was 0.7Å RMSD. The docking result showed that the free Gibbs energy (∆G) of aldose reductase was (-11.7), Vitexin (-8.3), Ursolic acid (-7.7) and Oleonolic acid (-8.6). These value suggested that there was a stable inhibition reaction from the binahong leaves compound and the comparative ligand. Based on the Lipinski Rule, the composition of binahong leaves compound meets the Lipinski Rule criteria which means this medicine can be used orally except for vitexin and comparative ligands of zopolrestate which exceed the number of the atom.

Published: May 2020

Background and Objectives: Antibiotic misuse contributes to antibiotic resistance and is a growing public health threat in the United States and globally. Professional medical societies promote antibiotic stewardship education for medical students, ideally before inappropriate practice habits form. To our knowledge, no tools exist to assess medical student competency in antibiotic stewardship and the communication skills necessary to engage patients in this endeavor. The aim of this study was to develop a novel instrument to measure medical students’ communication skills and competency in antibiotic stewardship and patient counseling.
Methods: We created and pilot tested a novel instrument to assess student competencies in contextual knowledge and communication skills about antibiotic stewardship with standardized patients (SP). Students from two institutions (N=178; Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University) participated in an observed, structured clinical encounter during which SPs trained in the use of the instrument assessed student performance using the novel instrument.
Results: In ranking examinee instrument scores, Cronbach α was 0.64 (95% CI: 0.53 to 0.74) at Einstein and 0.71 (95% CI: 0.60 to 0.79) at Brown, both within a commonly accepted range for estimating reliability. Global ratings and instrument scores were positively correlated (r=0.52, F [3, 174]=30.71, P<.001), providing evidence of concurrent validity.
Conclusions: Similar results at both schools supported external validity. The instrument performed reliably at both institutions under different examination conditions, providing evidence for the validity and utility of this instrument in assessing medical students’ skills related to antibiotic stewardship.

The work aimed to determine the potential of selenium incorporation into seeds of selected species of Ocimum spp. after fortification with a foliar solution of sodium selenate at a concentration of 50 g Se · ha−1. In a 2-year trial, the selenium content was determined by electrothermal atomic absorption method with Zeeman background correction. Modified spectrophotometric method (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl [DPPH] assays) was used to rate the potential of oxidation– reduction components of basil seeds (AA). The total polyphenol content (TPC) was determined spectrophotometrically using the Folin–Ciocalteu reagent and gallic acid (GA) as the standard solution. The results of experiments showed that the selenium biofortification significantly (p < 0.05) increased the content of selenium in basil seeds (17-fold increase in comparison with controlled variant in case of Tulsi, 12-fold in ‘Cinamonette’ and 12-fold in ‘Dark Green’ when compared with control). The basil seeds represented a valuable source of polyphenols (1414.61–1681.75 μg GA · g−1 dried weight [d.w.]) with multiple times higher antioxidant activity (23.50–28.97 mmol Trolox · kg−1) in comparison with common tested horticultural crops (e.g. peas, tomato and pumpkin). Significant influence of fortification was not found in AA and TPC values. Fortification was not significantly reflected in AA and TPC values. In addition to its very strong reproductive function, healing and religious purposes, the basil seed is used as a functional food due to its high content of bioactive compounds.

Published: May 2020

Continuous seed propagation in Turkey has given rise to a great number of seedling walnut trees which represents valuable walnut genetic resources. The number of native walnut trees is estimated to be over 5 million in Turkey and they possess large phenotypic variability in yield, nut and kernel characteristics, late bud breaking, late flowering, winter hardiness and tolerance to diseases. Progress in walnut breeding requires the exploitation of genetic variation among cultivars and landraces. In this study, we used 32 local diverse walnut genotypes obtained from seeds and 2 standard cultivars (‘Sebin’ and ‘Bilecik’). This study implemented 21 previously used simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers to determine genetic diversity. The analysis revealed 135 alleles with an average of 6.43 alleles per locus. Genetic similarity ranged from 0.23 (for samples KW22 and KW29) to 0.87 (for samples KW27 and KW28). The highest number of alleles per locus was obtained from WGA276 locus (11 alleles), followed by WGA054 (9 alleles), WGA202 and WGA321 (8 alleles) while the lowest number was detected in WGA027. According to the morphological and molecular data, the genotypes differed from each other and the cvs. Sebin and Bilecik. The majority of the genotypes had higher fruit weight and some of the genotypes had higher kernel ratio than cvs. Sebin and Bilecik implying the importance of registering genotypes as cultivars. This research provides information on the genetic relationship of walnut genotypes and cultivars and emphasises the importance of protection and utilisation of seed-propagated walnut genetic resources.

Abandoned pastures are frequent phenomenon throughout central Europe due to the reduction of grazing. This also concerns the abandoned pasture near the village of Malé Kršteňany (Western Slovakia). We dealt with the research of spiders in this site in 2015 and spring of 2017. Despite it is a secondary anthropogenous habitat, the fauna of spiders is relatively rich, including infrequent or up to rare species, including Theonina cornix, Phycosoma inornatum, Altella biuncata, Brommella falcigera, Mastigusa arietina, Diaea livens, Tmarus stellio, Chalcoscirtus brevicymbialis, Pellenes nigrociliatus and Haplodrassus kulczynskii. The species of warm and moderate habitats are highly prevailing here – together it is 97%. The analysis of the spider faunal composition according to originality of habitat is even more interesting. The share of climax species is surprisingly high – 54.83%, despite this habitat is not at all ‘pristine’. Experts opinions on the climax, especially those of a conservative nature, require revision and a comprehensive view of modern ecology. We suppose that some particular stages of the on-going succession process can be interpreted as "partial climax stages" tending towards the ‘final’ arrangement of the biota. It is necessary to emphasize that the climax is not at the ‘definitive’ and ‘constant’ stage, on the contrary, it is a highly dynamic and variable process.

The experiments on three Baltic picocyanobacterial strains of Synechococcus (BA-120 – red strain, BA-124 – green strain and BA-132 – brown strain) were conducted at four scalar irradiances in Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) and four temperature levels. The main aim of this work was to estimate the effect of environmental conditions (temperature and PAR) on cell concentration and photosynthetic pigments (Chlorophyll a – Chl a and Carotenoids – Car) contents. The ranges of PAR and temperatures were 10, 100, 190, 280 μmol m-2 s-1 and 10, 15, 20, 25ºC, respectively. The experiment was carried in a medium of salinity of 8. The number of Synechococcus sp. cells was determined using a BD Accuri™ C6 flow cytometer. The pigments contents were determined by a spectrophotometric method. In this work, it was found that elevated intensity and temperature have, on average, a positive effect on cell concentration for Synechococcus sp. The highest cells concentrations were noted at the highest PAR (280 µmol m-2 s-1) and the highest T (25ºC) for green and brown strains (BA-124 and BA-132, respectively) and at 190 µmol m-2 s-1 and 25ºC for red strain (BA-120). Comparing the strains at each PAR level and temperature, the highest cell concentration was noted in green strain (36·106 cell ml-1), while the lowest was observed in red strain (8·106 cell ml-1). In general, in the two strains of Synechococcus (BA-120 and BA-132), the highest Car and Chl a contents were observed at the lowest light intensity and the highest temperature. On the other hand, Car and Chl a maximum content in BA-124 were noted at the lowest light and temperature. The experiments on Synechococcus strains demonstrated their high capacity to acclimate to a wide range of PAR and temperature levels. The three strains of Synechococcus showed adaptation capabilities, since they were able to change the composition of their photosynthetic pigments to use light quantity better and to protect the cells from the unfavourable effect of elevated light and temperature.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of higher temperatures on the photosynthesis of endosymbiotic Chlorella sp. of two Paramecium bursaria Ehrenberg 1831 strains originating from regions with a warmer and colder climate (Ardmore – USA and Kamchatka – Russia, respectively). After seven days of protozoa incubation at 18°C (control), 21°C, 24°C, 27°C, 30°C and 33°C, the chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements were carried out and fluorescence spectra were measured in blue-green and red light. As a result of the studies, a significant effect of higher temperature on the photosynthesis process of P. bursaria endosymbionts was observed. Weekly incubation at 33°C was lethal for both protozoan strains in comparison to the control temperature (18°C). The blue-green fluorescence spectra were characterised by marked peaks at 450 nm and 490 nm. Within the red light range, the peak was observed at about 690 nm with a lesser arm at 730 nm. Endosymbionts from Kamchatka were more sensitive to the temperature increase than algae from areas with relatively warm climates.

Synanthropisation of vegetation is today a serious problem both due to its impact on plant and animal diversity, as well as its significance through the impact on the global and local economy in the direct and indirect direction. Understanding the mechanisms of new arrivals is one of the important aspects of many types of research. The presented paper concerns the analysis of selected features of kenophytes occurring on the Proszowice Plateau (Southern Poland). On the basis of long-term floristic studies, a list of kenophytes was selected. The list was subject to a detailed analysis of the frequency, origin, ecological numbers, life forms, and life strategies. The results indicate that perennial species with a CR life strategy have the greatest chance of expansion in the agricultural area, although the annual species with the C strategy predominate.

Korozja to ogół procesów prowadzących do niszczenia materiałów. Jednym z typów korozji jest korozja powodowana działaniem mikroorganizmów. Tak zwana Biokorozja w znacznym stopniu przyczynia się do degradacji konstrukcji metalowych i betonowych. Niektóre elementy tych konstrukcji, w szczególności te wystawione na działanie wody słodkiej, słonej, ścieków albo ziemi są szczególnie narażone na destrukcyjny wpływ mikrobów. Korozja mikrobiologiczna w największym stopniu dotyka przemysłu naftowo-gazowego, transportu wodnego i instalacji sanitarnych. Niebagatelny problem stanowi także, powodowana przez bakterie znajdujące się w jamie ustnej, korozja implantów dentystycznych. Mimo, że mechanizmy powodujące biokorozję nie są dobrze znane, walka z tym zjawiskiem jest przedmiotem badań instytutów na całym świecie. Ważnym zagadnieniem jest również projektowanie materiałów o zwiększonej odporności na biokorozję. Celem tego artykułu jest podsumowanie dotychczasowego stanu wiedzy o zjawisku biokorozji, przybliżenie obecnie stosowanych metod jej zapobiegania, oraz omówienie procesów chemicznych i biologicznych stojących za korozją indukowaną przez mikroorganizmy.

The aim our study was qualitative and quantitative analysis of white blood morphometric elements of peripheral blood (determining the quantity, blood cells dimension and several hematological values) in White Stork chicks. One of the aims was to indicate whether the sex relevantly influences the variety of the examined white blood indicators. White blood cells parameters of 53 White Stork chicks, with molecularly marked sex, was examined. Blood samples were collected in southern Poland (around Krapkowice town, near Opole city). Lymphocytes of White Storks (mean 37% for females and males) were identified as round cells with dark purple non-lobed, eccentrically positioned nucleus. Among the whole population we differentiated small lymphocytes: with diameters of 5.31 ± 0.65 μm in males and 5.57 ± 0.59 μm in females, and large lymphocytes with a diameter of 8.10 ± 0.66 μm and 8.28 ± 0.74 μm, respectively in females and males. Monocytes (mean 8% for female and males) were the largest leukocytes found in the blood film of White Stork, measuring 13.40 ± 0.97 μm for males and 13.09 ± 1.05 μm for females in diameter. The cytoplasm was abundant and it stained blue-gray, very often contained vacuoles. Heterophils (mean 42.7%) were the largest in granular leukocytes group. They were round and 11.14 ± 0.65 μm for males and 11.01 ± 0.48 μm for females in diameter. The nucleus of heterophils was lobed, usually with two or three lobes. The cytoplasm contained brick-red, elongated granules. Eosinophils (mean 9.44%) were round cells, with a diameter of 10.72 ± 0.49 μm and 10.97 ± 0.53 μm, respectively in males and females. The nucleus was lobed and mostly stained clear blue and contained red-orange, round or rod-shaped granules. Basophils (mean 1.84%) were round and contained dark blue granules, with average of 9.56 ± 0.78 and 9.13 ± 0.84 μm in diameter, for males and females. The nucleus was usually non-lobed. The H/L ratio was 4/4 for both sexes. No significant differences in levels and types of leukocytes between male and female juvenile storks have been observed.

Published: May 2020

Influence of aqueous extracts of aboveground organs of common crop weeds Stellaria media on germination and seedlings growth of radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. radicula Pers.) was studied. Three different cultivars of radish (i.e. ‘Rowa’, ‘Krakowianka’, and ‘Półdługa’) were used to investigate if Stellaria media could produce allelopathins and if the impact of allelopathins differs between cultivars. The influence of allelopathins in various form of extracts was checked, i.e. decoction, infusion, and macerate, as the impact on germination rate, seedling growth (length and mass), and electrolyte leakage. Compared to the control group (distilled water used) the germination rate of radish seeds was lower, independently of the type of S. media extracts used. The growth of seedlings differed between cultivars and form of extract. It was noticed the inhibition of seedling growth for ‘Półdługa’ cultivar independently of extract form. The growth of two other cultivars was stimulated by the infusion, and slightly inhibited by the decoction and macerate. The extracts reduced the outflow of electrolytes through the cell membranes of radish seedlings of all but one the analysed radish cultivars. The exception was the macerate, which in the ‘Rowa’ cultivar caused the increase of the electrolyte leakage.

The area of Sedem Žien tailing pond and the nearby Šobov hydroquartzite quarry affected by mining activity were investigated by geochemical and mineralogical methods to determine the contaminating chemical compounds and study their availability. Degradation of the hydrothermal base mineralisation (galena, sphalerite, pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite) and of fine-grained pyrite oxidation, which forms impregnations in hydroquartzite produce Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). The area is acidified and the country components (soil, rock, water) are contaminated mainly by Pb, Zn and Fe. The tailing pond dam forming soils show acid pH (2.28–3.25), whereas the soil on the tailing pond surface is close neutral pH (7.26). The leaching availability of the metals from the soil is up to 75%. The AMD from the hydroquartzite quarry is in comparison with those percolating the tailing pond sediments very acid (pH 2.71) and contains high concentration of metals (Fe 311 mg.L-1, Zn 1690 µg.L-1, Cu 890 µg.L-1, Pb 126 µg.L-1).
