St. Elijah and the Fairies. Understanding a Charm Through Legends1
Authors: Iliescu Laura Jiga 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThe images, characters, and events featured in a charm enter into mutual, organic relations with other images, characters, and events that are not explicitly included in the given text but contribute implicitly to the overall significance of the charm. The aim of the current article is to reveal the unspoken components of St. Elijah narrative file embedded in the deep horizon of beliefs and knowledge implied by a given charm. Following the charm step by step, I point out items that imply the unvoiced – but still present – level of images and beliefs taken from the non-charming narrative corpus.
The Legend of St. Sisynnios in Ethiopian Charms: Interconnection with His Life
Authors: Gusarova Ekaterina V. 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThe legend of St. Sisynnios has been widespread in both Christian and popular Ethiopian tradition up to the present time. It exists in the form of written texts in the Ge’ez language, inserted in so-called magic scrolls among other closely connected texts of both magical and religious character. These scrolls have a protective function, and St. Sisynnios is venerated by the Ethiopian Church. There are two versions of his life. The shorter one comprises part of the Synaxarion whilethe longer one is included in a corpus of hagiographical compilations entitled “The Lives of the Martyrs”. Both of these were translated from the Arabic prototype, borrowed from the mother Coptic Church of Alexandria. There is a notable interconnection between the legend in the amulets and the religious texts. It is unknown whether the text of the legend once existed in form of verbal charm or not. In any case, different elements of the saint’s life passed to the legend. Some have remained unchanged while others have undergone transformations or lost some elements. It is important to study different elements of the legend using the examples conserved in the available manuscript scrolls. Analysis of these interconnections and the evolution of the text constitutes the basis of the present research.
Narrative Charms in Late Medieval and Early Modern Wales
Authors: Leach Katherine 
Published: May 2020

AbstractIn this article I will consider the general development of Welsh narrative charms from the earliest examples (late fourteenth century) up to the first decades of the Early Modern Era in Wales (mid-to-late sixteenth century). I will focus on the most common narrative charm types of this time: those that feature the motifs of Longinus, the Three Good Brothers, and Flum Jordan or Christ’s birth in Bethlehem. The development of these charms over time can provide insights into changing attitudes in Wales towards healing, religion, superstition, and even language. By the onset of the Early Modern era, Welsh narrative charms were increasingly subject to rhetorical expansions of the religious narratives that constituted the efficacious component of the charm. Additionally, by the end of the fifteenth century and into the early sixteenth, charms that once commonly featured Latin as the predominant language demonstrated an increased preference for the vernacular.1

Se evaluó el uso de partículas magnéticas acopladas a proteína L para la concentración y purificación de anticuerpos monoclonales inmunoglobulina M (mIgM) contra Taenia solium. Se evaluaron tres métodos de concentración y diferentes tiempos de elución y se optimizó la proporción de partículas a la proporción de mIgM. Demostramos que: 1) con el uso partículas magnéticas no se requiere de una concentración previa de mIgM, lo que disminuye la manipulación de los anticuerpos y mejora la recuperación, 2) se puede omitir el uso de un tampón de unión, ya que el pH de la mayoría de los sobrenadantes de cultivo celular son neutros, y 3) se necesitan tiempos de elución más largos (~45 minutos) para aumentar la recuperación a un nivel mayor a 80%. El estudio demuestra que el uso de partículas magnéticas acopladas a proteína L es una herramienta simple y eficiente para la concentración y purificación de mIgM.
Research on construction of vehicle driving cycle based on Markov chain and global K-means clustering algorithm
Authors: Wu Yingnan , Liu Guangzhong 
Published: May 2020

Vehicle driving cycle is a time-speed curve used to describe vehicle driving rules. The research and development of vehicle driving cycle not only provide theoretical basis for the test of vehicle fuel’s economy and pollutant emission level, but also guide the design and development of new models in the future. This paper adopts the actual driving data of light vehicles in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province collected by China Automotive Technology Research Center (CATC) through the data collection system, and analyzes and verifies the new data after standardized dimension reduction by combining the global K-means clustering and Markov chain principle. The specific work is divided into the following parts: 1. The global K-means clustering algorithm adopted to cluster the kinematic segment database after standardized dimension reduction; 2. Markov chain is applied to construct the working condition diagram. The basic principle of this method is to regard the short-stroke speed-time sequence as a complete random process, divide the speed intervals by lines, each of which represents a different speed state, and convert the speed into a speed state, so that the speed-time sequence becomes a state-time sequence. Since the next state is only related to the current one, a group of random state sequences can be randomly generated by the program as long as the transition probability between two adjacent states is determined and the matrix of state transition probability is established. 3. The state sequence is converted into a speed sequence, and finally a set of driving cycle conforming to the spatial characteristics of the samples is obtained.

Background: Globally every day, approximately 830 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. 99% of all maternal deaths occur in developing countries. Care before during and after childbirth can save the lives of women and new born babies which is also known as birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPACR). The objective of this study aims to assess practice of birth preparedness and complication readiness among families of women in the field practicing area of Kamineni Academy of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Hyderabad.Methods: Field based descriptive study was done during August 2019 to February 2020 for a period of 6 months in urban field practising area. Sample size was 450 families, which includes, antenatal mothers 450 and their husbands 450, and 220 reproductive age group women. Results: Awareness of key danger signs during pregnancy (73.8%), labour/childbirth (56.7%) and postpartum (44%) were more among antenatal women whereas knowledge of danger signs of new born was highest among husbands of currently pregnant women. Planning of giving birth with a skilled provider was also high among antenatal women (98%) and in their husbands (97.5%), but saving for the same was very low in reproductive age group study population (20.4%).Conclusions: All these findings conclude Indian husbands of urban were more concerned about problems and safety of their offspring that is new born, than antenatal mother. Awareness of danger signs in the new born was lowest.

Abstract
Background: To determine the outcome of using combined phacoemulsification technique, ab-interno trabeculectomy dual blade and endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) surgeries in patients with primary open angle glaucoma. Methods: A retrospective case series was performed on 27 consecutive eyes with both primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and cataract; each eye was treated with combined phacoemulsification, ab-interno trabeculectomy-Kahook Dual Blade and Endocyclophotocoagulation at Instituto de ojos Oftalmosalud, Lima, Peru, between April 2017 and May 2017. Inclusion criteria: 1) Patients with uncontrolled mild to advanced POAG (according to Glaucoma Grading Scale HODAPP) 2) cataract condition 3) treatment with two or more glaucoma medications due to rapid progression in the visual fields (at least two in a short period of time). Intraocular pressure (IOP), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) logMAR and number of glaucoma medications were recorded prior to the study, at day 1, week 1, and 1,3,6 and 9 months after surgery. Primary outcome measure was surgical success defined in terms of IOP <14 mmHg either with no medications (complete success) or with medications (qualified success). Results: A total of 27 eyes from 27 patients were included. The mean basal IOP was 17.0±3.7 mmHg and postoperatively was 11.6±1.9 mmHg and 11.4±1.8 mmHg (P<0.001) at 6 and 9 months respectively. Glaucoma medications decreased from 1.9±1.4 to 0.56±1.05 at 9 month follow-ups (P<0.001). Preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) showed and improvement from 0.4± 0.4 LogMAR (p<0.001) to 0.2 ± 0.4 logMAR at 9 months. The main complication was blood reflux intra-operatively (66.7%), which resolved without re-operation. The mean IOP was reduced by 32.9% from baseline and the surgical success was 92,6%, (complete success 70,3% and qualified success 29,6%) at 9 months. Conclusions: In patients with POAG, combined treatment with phacoemulsification, ab-interno trabeculectomy and endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation effectively reduced IOP and glaucoma medication dependence.

Published: May 2020

Abstract
Background: Localization of neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R), the endogenous receptor for neuropeptide substance P (SP), has already been described for the right atrium (RA) of the heart. However, the biological role of SP/NK1R signal pathways in the RA remains unclear. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=22 each); subjected to sham, ischemia/reperfusion-injury (I/R), I/R with 5 nmole/kg SP injection (SP+I/R), and SP+I/R with 1 mg/kg RP67580 injection (RP, a selective non-peptide tachykinin NK1R antagonist) (RP/SP+I/R). The left anterior descending coronary artery was occluded for 40 min followed by 1 day reperfusion with SP or SP+RP or without either. After 1 day, both atria and ventricles as well as the heart apexes were collected. Results: SP promoted the expression of c-Kit, GATA4, Oct4, Nanog, and Sox2 in only the RA of the SP+I/R rats via NK1R activation. In agreement with these observations, NK1R-expressing c-Kit+ Nkx2.5+GATA4+ cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) in the ex vivo RA explant outgrowth assay markedly migrated out from RA1 day SP+I/R approximately 2-fold increase more than RA1 day I/R. Treatment of SP promoted proliferation, migration, cardiosphere formation, and potential to differentiate into cardiomyocytes. Using RP inhibitor, NK1R antagonist not only inhibited cell proliferation and migration but also reduced the formation of cardiosphere and differentiation of c-Kit+ CPCs Conclusion: SP/NK1R might play a role as a key mediator involved in the cellular response to c-Kit+ CPC expansion in RA of the heart within 24 h after I/R.

Abstract
Background: There is a paucity of information on the epidemiology of heart failure (HF) in Australia. The Study of Heart failure in the Australian Primary carE setting (SHAPE) study aims to estimate the prevalence and annual incidence of HF in the general Australian community and to describe the demographic and key clinical profile of Australians with HF.Methods: We undertook a retrospective cohort study based on analysis of non-identifiable medical records of adult patients cared for at 43 general practices between 1 July 2013 and 30 June 2018. Data were extracted from coded (diagnosis, pathology and prescription fields) and uncoded fields (clinical notes) in the medical records. The latter searches of free text looked for common synonyms relevant to HF. The population was stratified into three groups based on a hierarchy of selection criteria: (1) definite HF, (2) probable HF and (3) possible HF. The prevalence and annual incidence of HF were calculated, along with 95% confidence intervals.Results: The practices provided care to 2.3 million individual patients over the five-year study period, of whom 1.93 million were adults and 1.12 million were regular patients. Of these patients 15,468 were classified as having ‘definite HF’, 4751 as having ‘probable HF’ and 33,556 as having ‘possible HF’. A further 39,247 were identified as having an aetiological condition associated with HF. A formal HF diagnosis, HF terms recorded as text in the notes and HF-specific medication were the most common methods to identify ‘definite’ HF patients. Typical signs and symptoms in combination with a diuretic prescription was the most common method to identify ‘probable HF’ patients. The majority of ‘possible’ HF patients were identified by the presence of 2 or more of the typical signs or symptoms. Dyspnoea was the commonest recorded symptom and an elevated jugular venous pressure the commonest recorded sign.Conclusions: This novel approach to undertaking retrospective research of primary care data successfully analysed a combination of coded and uncoded data from the electronic medical records of patients routinely managed in the GP setting. SHAPE is the first real-world study of the epidemiology of HF in the general Australian community setting.
Association of 5p15.2 and 15q14 with High Myopia in Tujia and Miao Chinese Populations
Authors: Wang Junwen , Liu Fang , Song Xiusheng , Li Tuo 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Background : The polymorphisms rs6885224 and rs634990 have been reported to be associated with high myopia in many populations. As there is still no report on whether these two SNPs are associated with myopia in the Tujia and Miao minority areas of China, we conducted a replication study to evaluate the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the regions 5p15.2 and 15q14 with high myopia in Tujia and Miao Chinese populations. Methods : We performed a comprehensive meta-analysis of 5831 cases and 7055 controls to assess whether rs6885224 in the 5p15.2 region and rs634990 in the 15q14 region are associated with high myopia. Our replication study enrolled 804 individuals. Genomic DNA was extracted from venous leukocytes, and these two SNPs were genotyped by Sanger sequencing. Allele and genotype frequencies were analysed using χ 2 tests, and ORs and 95% CIs were calculated. Results : According to the results of the meta-analysis, rs6885224 in the CTNND2 gene showed no association with myopia [ p =0.222, OR=1.154, 95% CI (0.917-1.452)]. Conversely, rs634990 in the 15q14 region did exhibit a significantcorrelation with myopia [ p =7.270 ´10 - 7 , OR = 0.817, 95% CI (0.754-0.885)]. In our replication study, no association with high myopia in the Tujia and Miao populations was found for rs634990 or rs6885224. The following were obtained byallele frequency analysis: rs6885224, p =0.175, OR=0.845, and 95% CI=0.662-1.078; rs634990, p =0.087, OR=0.84, and the 95% CI=0.687-1.026. Genotype frequency analysis yielded p =0.376 for rs6885224 and p =0.243 for rs634990. Conclusions : Our meta-analysis results show that rs634990 was significantly associated with myopia but that rs6885224 was not. Nevertheless, in our replication study , these two SNPs showed no association with myopia in the Tujia and Miao Chinese populations. This is the first report involving Tujia and Miao ethnic groups from Enshi minority areas. However,the sample size needs to be expanded and more stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria need to be formulated to verify the findings.

Abstract
Background: Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii has been extensively studied in a variety of vulnerable populations. However, no study has focused on homeless populations. Accordingly, the present study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii antibodies and the risk factors associated in homeless persons from homeless shelter of São Paulo city, southeastern Brazil. In addition, anti-HIV antibodies and associated risk of T. gondii and HIV coinfection have been evaluated.Methods: Anti-T. gondii antibodies were detected by indirect fluorescent antibody test. In addition, anti-HIV levels were testedby chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay, with positive samples confirmed by rapid immunoblot assay.Results: Overall, IgG anti-T. gondii seropositivity was found in 43/120 (35.8%) homeless persons, with endpoint titers varying from 16 to 1,024. The only two pregnant womentested were negative for IgM by chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay, with normal parturition and clinically healthy newborns in both cases. There were no statistical differences in the risk factors for anti-T. gondii serology (p>0.05). Anti-HIV seropositivity was found in 2/120 (1.7%) homeless persons, confirmed as HIV-1. One HIV seropositive individual was also sero-reactive to IgG anti-T.gondii, and both were negative to IgM anti-T. gondii.Conclusions: This is the first study that reports the serosurvey of T. gondii in homeless persons worldwide. Despite the limited sample size available in the present study, our findings have shown that the prevalence of anti-T. gondii antibodies in homeless persons herein was lower than the general population, probably due to homeless diet habit of eating mainly processed food intake. No statistical differences were found regarding risk factors for anti-T. gondii exposure in homeless persons.
