Interlinks between Wildlife and Domestic Cycles of Echinococcus spp. in Kenya
Authors: Kagendo Dorothy , Muchiri Eric , Gitonga Peter , Muthoni Esther 
Published: November 2020

Effective conservation and management of wildlife in the current changing world, call for incorporation of infectious zoonotic diseases surveillance systems, among other interventions. One of such diseases is echinococcosis, a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus species. This disease exists in two distinct life cycle patterns, the domestic and wildlife cycles. To investigate possible inter-links between these cycles in Kenya, 729 fecal samples from wild carnivores and 406 from domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) collected from Maasai Mara and Samburu National Reserves were analyzed. Taeniid eggs were isolated by zinc chloride sieving-flotation method and subjected to polymerase chain reaction of nicotinamide adenine dehydrogenase subunit 1 (NAD1). Subsequent amplicons were sequenced, edited and analyzed with GENtle VI.94 program. The samples were further subjected to molecular identification of specific host species origin. All sequences obtained were compared with those in Gene-bank using Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). The study found that there were 74 taeniid positive samples, 53 from wild carnivores and 21 from domestic dogs. In wildlife, mixed infections with Echinococcus and Taenia species were identified and these included E. granulosus sensu stricto, E. felidis, T. canadensis G6/7, Taenia hydatigena, T. multiceps, and T. saginata. Domestic dogs harbored Echinococcus and Taenia species similar to wild carnivores including E. granulosus G1–3, E. felidis, T. multiceps, T. hydatigena, and T. madoquae. Taenia species of nine taeniid eggs were not identified. Majority of genotypes were found in hyena (Crocuta crocuta) fecal samples. Distribution of Echinococcus and Taenia spp. varied with hosts. Mixed infections of Echinococcus spp, T. multiceps and T. hydatigena in a single animal were common. There seemed to be existence of interactions between the two cycles, although public health consequences are unknown. The presence of T. saginata in hyena suggests scavenging of human fecal matter by the animal. In addition, presence of T. multiceps, T hydatigena, T madoquae and T. saginata in the two cycles suggested possible human exposure to these parasites. The results are important in drawing up of strategies and policies towards prevention and control of Echinococcosis and other Taenia related parasitic infections, especially in endemic areas given their potential risk to public and socio- economic livelihood.
Etnicidad y emulación: estudio y desarrollo de la iconografía de la divinidad greco-egipcia Serapis = Ethnicity and Emulation: Study and Development of the Iconography of the greco-Egyptian Divinity Serapis
Authors: Termis Moreno Olga 
Published: November 2020

El dios Serapis era una de las divinidades más importantes en la época de la conquista de Egipto por Alejandro Magno en 332 a.C. Este dios egipcio fue asociándose a distintos dioses griegos, helenizándose en un proceso de hibridación extendido a lo largo de la dinastía ptolemaica. Tal hibridación dio lugar a que la iconografía del dios evolucionase en función de sus características, que bien podían ser de origen egipcio o griego, y a su ámbito de influencia. La expansión del culto de este dios se debió principalmente a la promoción y al mecenazgo real, justificados por la necesidad de acercar de alguna forma a la población griega y egipcia. Tanto la iconografía como los templos indican que hubo una relación continua entre estas dos poblaciones. Un estudio en profundidad sobre este dios permitirá conocer mejor la naturaleza de estos contactos a lo largo de todo el periodo. Abastract The god Serapis was one of the most important divinities in the epoch of Alexander the Great’s conquest of Egypt, in 332 B.C. This Egyptian god became associated with different Greek gods, hellenizing itself in a process of hybridization extended along the Ptolemaic dynasty. Such hybridization resulted in an evolution of the god’s iconography according to its characteristics, whether Egyptian or Greek, and its scope of implementation. The expansion of the cult of this god was due mainly to royal promotion and patronage, justified by the need to somehow bring the Greek and Egyptian population closer. Both the iconography and the temples show that there was a continuous relationship between these two populations. An in-depth study of this god will allow to improve the knowledge of the nature of the contacts between these two populations throughout the entire period.

Pericia universitaria de Galdós en su evocación y expediente académico
Authors: Gómez de Maya Julián 
Published: November 2020

Con atención preferente a escritos autobiográficos y a su expediente académico, el presente artículo propone una mirada sobre la elección vocacional, formativa y, al cabo, profesional que lleva a Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920), en primer término, desde su Gran Canaria natal hasta el Madrid de las postrimerías isabelinas, en 1862, y, muy poco después, desde las aulas de la facultad de Derecho de la Universidad Central hasta el desempeño laboral en diversas redacciones periodísticas y, más todavía, hasta la cúspide de la narrativa decimonónica en lengua española.
This article takes a look at the vocational, formative and professional choice that led Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) first from his native Gran Canaria to the Madrid of the last Isabelline years, in 1862; shortly after this, he went from the classrooms of the Faculty of Law of the Central University to work in various newsrooms, and even reaching a the cusp of the nineteenth-century narrative in the Spanish language. The methodology pays preferential attention to the autobiographical writings and his academic record.
"Hechos, nada más que hechos": últimas crónicas del periodista Galdós
Authors: Arencibia Yolanda 
Published: November 2020

La labor periodística de Galdós finalizó en la temprana fecha de 1872 con las ocho crónicas que publicó entre enero y mayo de aquel año en La Ilustración Española, cuando una especie de«pronunciamiento personal» lo llevó a abandonar cualquier otra escritura que no fuera la literaria, aunque después colaboró esporádicamente en diversos periódicos. Este trabajo analiza esos textos muy poco conocidos y menos estudiados, que no han aparecido en papel en su totalidad, aunque sí parcialmente en la importante edición de 1981con el título de Galdós periodista.
Galdós’s journalistic work ended in the early date of 1872 with the eight chronicles he publishedbetween January and May of that year in La Ilustración Española, when a kind of «personal pronouncement» led him to abandon any other deed that was not the literary, although later collaborated sporadically in various newspapers. This paper analyzes those very little known and less studied texts, which have not appeared on paper in their entirety, although partially in the important edition of 1981 with the title Galdós periodista.
El paradigma del burgués indiano en la loca de la casa, de Galdós
Authors: Quevedo García Francisco J. 
Published: November 2020

El personaje del indiano en el siglo XIX es representativo de una sociedad española con notables problemas económicos que impulsa a la emigración, así como de una imagen mítica de América como tierra de oportunidades. En este caso, trabajamos la figura de José María Cruz, en La loca de la casa, a través del cual apreciamos la apuesta galdosiana por el trabajo de la burguesía activa, necesario para la regeneración española, pero sin caer en el exceso del materialismo con el culto absoluto al dinero.
The character of the indiano in the nineteenth century is representative of a Spanish society with notable economic problems, which drives emigration, as well as a mythical image of America as a land of opportunity. In this case, we work on the figure of José Maria Cruz, in La loca de la casa, through which we appreciate the galdosian commitment to the work of the active bourgeoisie, necessary for Spanish regeneration, but without falling into the excess of materialism with the absolute cult of money.
Policías y guardias: visión literaria en la nueva novela policíaca española
Authors: López Martínez Encina Isabel 
Published: November 2020

La nueva novela policíaca en España es actualmente uno de los géneros más consumidos y reconocidos por los lectores. Esto se debe a una serie de novedades que escritores como Alicia Giménez Bartett o Lorenzo Silva, entre otros, presentan en sus producciones. Entre ellas destaca la incorporación del detective a un cuerpo de seguridad oficial del estado. Estos autores reflejarán la realidad de la Policía Nacional y de la Guardia Civil, respectivamente, ofreciendo una perspectiva literaria desconocida y desatendida hasta la fecha y que será, en estos momentos, fundamental para entender la construcción del detective y los temas principales del argumento.

Hesperus nelle Bucoliche di Virgilio
Authors: Gagliardi Paola 
Published: November 2020

The treatment of the τόπος of morning and evening, or “East / West τόπος” (Eous and Hesperus ) in the Augustan poets, borrowed from Cinna fr. 10 Hollis (= fr. 6 Morel) and variously developed, seems to suggest that it had been treated in an original way by Cornelius Gallus. The analysis of Hesperus in Virgil’s Bucolics seems to confirm this impression, since the term always appears in contexts related to Gallus.
Il trattamento del τόπος del mattino e della sera, ovvero dell’oriente e dell’occidente, (Eous ed Hesperus ) nei poeti augustei, mutuato da Cinna fr. 10 Hollis (= fr. 6 Morel) e variamente sviluppato, sembra suggerire che esso fosse stato trattato in modo originale da Cornelio Gallo. L’analisi di Hesperus nelle Bucoliche virgiliane sembra confermare questa impressione, giacché il termine compare sempre in contesti riconducibili a Gallo.

En este artículo se muestra cómo Ovidio actúa, en relación con los episodios virgilianos de Hipólito y Esculapio, como un exégeta complementario del poeta de Mantua. Contribuye, tanto en Fastos como en Metamorfosis , a la identificación del dios de Epidauro y completa y explica todo lo que en el Hipólito de Virgilio está incompleto y oscuro.
In this article is shown how Ovide acts, regarding the Vergilian episodes of Hippolytus and Aesculapius, as a complementary interpreter of the Mantuan poet. It contributes, as well in the Fasti as in the Metamorphoses , to the identification of the god of Epidaurus, completing and explaining all that in the Vergilian Hippolytus remained incomplete and obscure.
Comprehensive genomic analysis of microenvironment phenotypes in ovarian cancer
Authors: Wang Jingshu , Zhang Tingting , Yang Lina , Yang Gong 
Published: November 2020

Background
Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in women. The incidence of ovarian cancer is insidious, and the recurrence rate is high. The survival rate of ovarian cancer has not significantly improved over the past decade. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors such as those targeting CTLA-4, PD-1, or PD-L1 have been used to treat ovarian cancer. Therefore, a full analysis of the immune biomarkers associated with this malignancy is necessary.

Methods
In this study, we used data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to analyze the infiltration patterns of specific immune cell types in tumor samples. Data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used for external validation. According to the invasion patterns of immune cells, we divided the ovarian cancer microenvironment into two clusters: A and B. These tumor microenvironment (TME) subtypes were associated with genomic and clinicopathological characteristics. Subsequently, a random forest classification model was established. Differential genomic features, functional enrichment, and DNA methylation were analyzed between the two clusters. The characteristics of immune cell infiltration and the expression of immune-related cytokines or markers were analyzed. Somatic mutation analysis was also performed between clusters A and B. Finally, multivariate Cox analysis was used to analyze independent prognostic factors.

Results
The ovarian cancer TME cluster A was characterized by less infiltration of immune cells and sparse distribution and low expression of immunomodulators. In contrast, cytotoxic T cells and immunosuppressive cells were significantly increased in the ovarian cancer TME cluster B. Additionally, immune-related cytokines or markers, including IFN-γ and TNF-β, were also expressed in large quantities. In total, 35 differentially methylated and expressed genes (DMEGs) were identified. Functional enrichment analyses revealed that the DMEGs in cluster B participated in important biological processes and immune-related pathways. The mutation load in cluster B was insignificantly higher than that of cluster A (p = 0.076). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that TME was an independent prognostic factor for ovarian cancer (hazard ratio: 1.33, 95% confidence interval: 1.01–1.75, p = 0.041).

Conclusion
This study described and classified basic information about the immune invasion pattern of ovarian cancer and integrated biomarkers related to different immunophenotypes to reveal interactions between ovarian cancer and the immune system.
La epistemología y metodología de la investigación exploratoria en ciencias sociales: cruzando Popper con Marcuse
Authors: Reiter Bernd 
Published: November 2020

Karl Popper demuestra que la inducción no lleva a la verdad y sugiere la deducción como única forma de llegar a propuestas científicas. Al mismo tiempo deja claro que teorías y hipoteses son modelos mentales que no pueden ser probadas con evidencia empírica. Por consequencia, la deducción, al igual a la inducción, no es capaz de producir “la verdad.” Con esto, y tomando en cuenta los avanzes en epistemología feminista sobre “standpoints” y los trabajos recientes sobre estudios de caso, vale la pena re-evaluar la inducción y los estudios heurísticos-explorativos. Este artigo elabora los criterios bajo las cuales la investigación explorativa puede ser efectuada de forma rigorosa y sistematica. Los resultados de una investigación explorativa ejecutada de forma transparente, auto-reflexiva, y honesta pueden ser objectivos – mismo que parciales. En esto, la dialéctica ofrece una forma de aproximarse a la realidad frutifera, porque apunta para contradicciones como puntos de entrada para la investigación empírica.
Blood Cellular Changes Associated with Bacteremia and Malaria Co-morbidity among Children in Western, Kenya
Authors: Ogulla Godfrey , Mwalimu Stephen , Muturi Margaret , Ouma Collins 
Published: November 2020

Background: Malaria and bacteremia co-morbidity in children cause changes in blood cellular components. Complete blood count from children whose haemoglobin genotypes and bacteremia tests are not known, greatly influence clinical management and interpretation of the haematology results in resource limited healthcare facilities.
Objectives: We investigated cellular components from children with bacteremia and malaria co-morbidity. We also analysed the haemoglobin genotypes and bacteria isolates from children with haemoglobin AA, SS and AS in western Kenya.
Methods: A total number of 384 children were recruited and complete blood counts done with an automated cell counter. Microscopy was used to determine malaria infections, while bacteremia was determined by blood culture. The haemoglobin genotypes were analysed using the electrophoresis technique.
Results: Children with haemoglobin AA and AS had elevated granulocyte counts. Most of the bacteria isolates were from children with malaria and haemoglobin AS. The bacteria isolated from blood culture included non-typhi salmonella, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus pyogenes and Viridans.
Salmonella species and staphylococcus aureus were the most prevalent bacteria isolates associated with bacteremia in children with haemoglobin AS and malaria positive.
Conclusion: Children with Hb AS have higher chances of malaria and bacterial co-infection which leads to lymphocytopenia, erythrocytopenia and thrombocytopenia. Bacteria responsible for most of malaria co-infections in this region are Salmonella species and Staphylococcus aureus. The malaria and bacterial co-infection in pre-school children initiate differential cellular changes which should be investigated further.
Prognostics and Health Monitoring Methodologies and Approaches: A Review
Authors: Bjaili Hasan A. , Rushdi Ali M. 
Published: November 2020

Prognostics is a term that engineering borrowed from medicine to refer to the discipline concerned with the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of an engineering device. This paper surveys the RUL prediction techniques and classifies them into four categories of model-based techniques,knowledge-based techniques, experience-based techniques, and data-driven techniques. A comparative review is given for the main features, prominent advantages, potential shortcomings and main subcategories for each of these categories. The survey is supported by an extensive listfor up-to-date references.

Authors: Rashidova M. A. , Sholokhov L. F. , Darenskaya M. A. , Kolesnikov S. I. , Kolesnikova L. I. 
Published: November 2020

Background: Our previous study of the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense system (LPO-AOS) state in women with chronic viral hepatitis (CVH) showed the content of fat-soluble vitamin alpha tocopherol significant reduction. Reproductive health of women with CVH needs special attention. The objectives of this study was to determine the frequency of menstrual disorders in the group of women with CVH with marked alpha tocopherol insufficiency.
Study Design: A case-control study.
Place and Duration of Study: A study was conducted at Scientific Centre for Family Health and Human Reproduction Problems and in the hepatological department of the Irkutsk clinical hospital of infectious diseases from 2010 to 2014. This work was performed with the use of equipment of Collective research centre “Center for the development of progressive personalized technologies for health” SC FHHRP, Irkutsk.
Methods and Results: Our study included 44 reproductive age women with CVH and comparable age 28 healthy women. All women underwent clinical examination and questionary survey. We found alpha tocopherol insufficiency in 95.5% cases of patients with CVH and menstrual disorders.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that menstrual disorders in patients with CVH may be associated with alpha tocopherol insufficiency.
Dispersal by gray ratsnakes: Effects of sex, age and time
Authors: Blouin‐Demers Gabriel , Weatherhead Patrick J. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractDispersal is one of the most fundamental components of ecology. Dispersal is also particularly relevant in an era of unprecedented habitat loss and climate change. We used a unique dataset to examine dispersal in gray ratsnakes (Pantherophis spiloides). Over a decade, we marked and released >1,500 hatchlings while monitoring the population of ratsnakes over a large area (≈1,900 ha). We tested the hypotheses that dispersal should be (a) largely restricted to within the local population given previous genetic evidence of limited gene flow at greater distances and (b) male biased because male gray ratsnakes are under strong sexual selection. We recaptured 69 gray ratsnakes that had been marked as hatchlings after periods ranging from 1 day to 11 years. We found that dispersal distance increased with time, but was not significantly sex‐biased, and that gray ratsnakes are extremely faithful to their communal hibernacula (only 2.8% of 497 juvenile and adult ratsnakes captured at least twice at communal hibernacula changed sites between years). Thus, dispersal is largely limited to the period from hatching until an individual joins a communal hibernaculum. Based on the spatial patterns of dispersal we observed, the most plausible explanation for dispersal is that hatchling ratsnakes disperse from their natal site to join a neighboring communal hibernaculum. Our study yielded the most reliable data on dispersal distances from birth by a snake to date.
