OBJECTIVEDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, quaternary-care facilities continue to provide care for patients in need of urgent and emergent invasive procedures. Perioperative protocols are needed to streamline care for these patients notwithstanding capacity and resource constraints.METHODSA multidisciplinary panel was assembled at the University of California, San Francisco, with 26 leaders across 10 academic departments, including 7 department chairpersons, the chief medical officer, the chief operating officer, infection control officers, nursing leaders, and resident house staff champions. An epidemiologist, an ethicist, and a statistician were also consulted. A modified two-round, blinded Delphi method based on 18 agree/disagree statements was used to build consensus. Significant disagreement for each statement was tested using a one-sided exact binomial test against an expected outcome of 95% consensus using a significance threshold of p < 0.05. Final triage protocols were developed with unblinded group-level discussion.RESULTSOverall, 15 of 18 statements achieved consensus in the first round of the Delphi method; the 3 statements with significant disagreement (p < 0.01) were modified and iteratively resubmitted to the expert panel to achieve consensus. Consensus-based protocols were developed using unblinded multidisciplinary panel discussions. The final algorithms 1) quantified outbreak level, 2) triaged patients based on acuity, 3) provided a checklist for urgent/emergent invasive procedures, and 4) created a novel scoring system for the allocation of personal protective equipment. In particular, the authors modified the American College of Surgeons three-tiered triage system to incorporate more urgent cases, as are often encountered in neurosurgery and spine surgery.CONCLUSIONSUrgent and emergent invasive procedures need to be performed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The consensus-based protocols in this study may assist healthcare providers to optimize perioperative care during the pandemic.
Inverted learning design in student learning
Authors: Ontaneda Rea Mónica 
Published: October 2020

This study is based on implementing backward design to improve students’ academic assessment, so public high school students can take part of meaningful contexts where they show what they learned at the end of a class term. Taking in consideration, backward design is a great tool to be applied for public high schools where most of the classes are textbooks centered, provoking students’ frustration due to the lack of English knowledge from schools. There is a high rate of students failing courses because students are placed in English levels where they do not belong to or they come from other institutions where they did not learn English. Backward design lets teachers be creative and use skills and methodologies according to students’ needs and be very reflexive in the way of designing it. In this study, pairedT_Test is applied to compare scores from the same level, but using different ways of testing. In conclusion, the experimental group (G2), in which backward design was applied, got better results than the controlled group (G1), who did not apply it. In this case the independent variable which mean and scores are high. Results show backward design is very meaningful not only for students, but also for teachers. It is true that running appropriate action plans, selecting the best resources and conducting a final assessment through a performance task, gave the opportunity for students to gain more confidence on the language and apply it in a real context.

Published: October 2020

Graphene and chitosan acted as the adsorbents for simulated wastewater with rhodamine B. The novel material produced by freeze-drying obviously outperformed graphene and chitosan in treating rhodamine B. Factors (e.g., contaminant concentration, reaction time, solution pH value, adsorption dose and temperature) overall impacted the adsorption. The optimal conditions for graphene-chitosan treatment of dyes included the concentration of pollutants at 400 mg/L, the dose of adsorbent as 5 mg, the solution pH at 4 and at 25∘C, and for 12 h, in which the maximal treatment amount reached 858.00 mg/g. The adsorption processes of Chitosan/graphene composites and magnetic Chitosan/graphene composites for simulated wastewater from Rhodamine B reactor followed Langmuir and Freundlich models, respectively. The in-particle diffusion model shows that the adsorption process of the composites for Rhodamine B simulated wastewater is not determined by either surface diffusion or in-particle diffusion. The magnetic Chitosan/graphene composites exhibit high recyclability, which can be respectively reused 3 times and 5 times and retain 80% adsorption capacity after being administrated with Rhodamine B simulated wastewater. By analyzing grey correlation degree, it is demonstrated that the concentration of pollutants and the reaction temperature critically affect the adsorption capacity. The electrochemical treatment with graphite rod for the Cr3+ was under the initial voltage of 30.6 V, at the pH of 5.59, and at the temperature of 18.5∘C; the removal rate of the samples was nearly 62.35% with the chromium ion concentration declined from 0.3333 g/L to 0.1255 g/L.

Published: October 2020

Background: The finding of a small renal mass (SRM) on radiological imaging and the potential of a cancer diagnosis is anxiety provoking in most patients. The decision-making process often occurs in the absence of any framework regarding the nature and treatment outcomes. This project aimed to educate patients newly diagnosed with a SRM, implement a shared decision-making (SDM) model, and assess the educational attainment and effect on a SDM intervention. Methods: This project assessed the educational attainment and its effect on a SDM intervention using a pre-and post- intervention survey, an educational video [Urology Care Foundation, “What is a renal mass?], and a structured provider discussion. The survey incorporated eight knowledge questions and two questions which addressed anxiety related to diagnosis and confidence in decision-making. Results: Fifty surveys were completed. The post intervention score showed a significant increase in patient knowledge. Wilcoxon signed rank test ( P = <0.001; 2.0; CI 95% (1.54–2.46)). Thirty-nine demonstrated improvement in knowledge with a mean of 2.0, 9 were unchanged and 2 decreased. Approximately 42% of patients reported a decrease in anxiety rating by a mean of 40%. When confidence in decision-making improved, it improved by a mean of 45%. Conclusions: A significant improvement in understanding of SRMs was demonstrated. This model showed improved knowledge, alleviation of anxiety and improved confidence and denotes the feasibility of implementing a SDM model in newly diagnosed patients. Results should encourage providers who aspire to incorporate a SDM as a Best Practice.

Published: October 2020

The use of probiotics (Lactobacillus sp.) in feed is one alternative that is done to improve immunostimulants, growth stimulants, and can be used as a balance of microorganisms in digestion. This study aimed to evaluate the growth performance of vanamei shrimp fed with the addition of Lactobacillus sp. with sweet potatoes in feed. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatment was by feeding with different sweet potato concentrations: A) The dose of sweet potato in feed was 0% (as control); B) The dose of sweet potato in feed was 10%; C) 1The dose of sweet potato in feed was 15%; and D) The dose of sweet potato in feed was 20%. Data were analyzed using variance analysis (ANOVA) and continued with W-Tuckey's further test. The research parameters were digestive enzyme activity, nutrient digestibility, and growth. The results of the variance analysis showed the addition of various sweet potato concentrations with Lactobacillus sp. has no significant effect (p> 0.05) of the growth rate. The specific growth rate of vannamei shrimp ranges from 3.06 to 3.23% / day. Based on the results of the analysis on the utilization of sweet potatoes as a prebiotic on the performance of Lactobacillus sp. in the vannamei shrimps (Litopenaeus vannamei) digestive tract can be concluded that the growth performance does not have a significant effect after being fed with the addition of Lactobacillus sp. and sweet potatoes in feed.

Presión colonial y reivindicación indígena en Cajamarca (1785-1820) según el archivo del "Protector de naturales"
Authors: Lavalle Bernard 
Published: October 2020

De unos quince años a esta parte, el recurso cada vez más frecuente a los archivos locales es una de las características dominantes de las nuevas orientaciones de la historiografía peruana sobre la época colonial. Así, se fueron renovando, vivificando y matizando los análisis hasta entonces fundamentados y estructurados esencialmente a partir de repositorios conservados en Lima o Sevilla. Curiosamente, en tal contexto, Cajamarca que fuera en la época española la cabecera de un corregimiento a la vez amplio, poblado y activo —de hecho la verdadera capital de los Andes del norte a pesar de la decisión colonial de establecer en la costa, en Trujillo, la sede del obispado— no parece haber suscitado las investigaciones que obviamente se merece y son posibles dada la riqueza de su archivo departamental notablemente clasificado y bien conservado.

The macroalgal flora of Graciosa (central group of Azores archipelago) is poorly known, with only 116 species recorded so far (authors personal data). The published information reflects occasional collections from sporadic field visits to the Island. To overcome this, a thorough investigation under the Expedition “GRACIOSA/2004”, the Campaigns “PADEL/2006”, “MACROBIOLMOL/2014” and “PIMA-BALA/2017” involving sample collecting and presence data recording, was undertaken over an area of 19 km2 encompassing littoral and sublittoral levels down to about 40 m around the Island. This paper lists the taxonomic records and provides information on species ecology and occurrence around the Island improving the knowledge of the Azorean macroalgal flora at both local and regional scales.
A total of 1692 specimens belonging to 250 taxa of macroalgae (and including 55 taxa identified only at the genus level) are registered, comprising 166 Rhodophyta, 36 Chlorophyta and 48 Ochrophyta (Phaeophyceae). From these, 195 are identified to the species level (126 Rhodophyta, 31 Chlorophyta and 38 Ochrophyta) and comprise 156 native, 20 of uncertain origin and 14 introductions to the Island. Predaea feldmannii subsp. azorica Gabriel is an Azorean endemic, whereas Codium elisabethiae O.C. Schmidt, Botryocladia macaronesica Afonso-Carrillo, Sobrino, Tittley &amp; Neto, Phyllophora gelidioides P.Crouan &amp; H.Crouan ex Karsakoff and Laurencia viridis Gil-Rodríguez &amp; Haroun represent Macaronesian endemics.

Published: October 2020

As for many other Azorean Islands, the macroalgal flora of Terceira (belonging to the central group of the archipelago) is poorly known, the published information reflecting occasional collections of sporadic visitors to the island. In order to overcome this and contribute to improve the knowledge of Azorean macroalgal flora at both local and regional scales, a thorough investigation was conducted. Both collections and presence data recordings were undertaken at the littoral and sublittoral levels down to approximately 40 m around the island, covering a total area of approximately 49 km2. This paper lists the taxonomic records and provides information on each species’ ecology and occurrence on the Island’s littoral.
A total of 418 specimens (including taxa identified only to genus level) belonging to 147 taxa of macroalgae, comprising 95 Rhodophyta, 33 Chlorophyta and 19 Ochrophyta (Phaeophyceae) are registered. Of these, 113 were identified to species level (73 Rhodophyta, 24 Chlorophyta and 16 Ochrophyta), encompassing 35 new records for the Island (27 Rhodophyta, 6 Chlorophyta and 2 Ochrophyta). Most species are native, including the Macaronesian endemisms Codium elisabethiae O.C.Schmidt, Millerella tinerfensis (Seoane-Camba) S.M.Boo &amp; J.M.Rico and Phyllophora gelidioides P.Crouan &amp; H.Crouan ex Karsakoff. Eight species are introduced and 15 have uncertain origin.

Authors: Ivankiv Yana I. , Oleshchuk Oleksandra M. 
Published: October 2020

Aim: To investigate the effect of melatonin on the immunomodulatory response in experimental type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: Experiments were performed on male rats (180–200 g), purchased from the Experimental Animal Holding,. Animals were maintained in standard diet conditions. Two pathological states were simulated on male rats: experimental type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Melatonin was introduced from 14 to 23 days of experiment intraperitoneally. Levels of immunoglobulin classes A, M and G (Ig A, M, G), circulating immune complexes (CIC), interleukin 1β (EE), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-a) were measured.
Results: We demonstrated that melatonin in case of immune hyperactivity, can, provide a suppressive effect and is able to enhance immune reactivity under conditions of its limitation, indicating the immunostimulating activity. Furthermore, we found that administration of melatonin decreased inflammatory responses by mediating the levels of immunomodulatory factors, including TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6.
Conclusion: Melatonin is a positive regulator of immune system, may be a potential therapeutic agent, it has no reported side effects.

L’intégration de l’économie belge dans les chaînes de valeur mondiales : le rôle des exportateurs et de leurs fournisseurs domestiques
Authors: Hambÿe Caroline , Michel Bernhard 
Published: October 2020

La réorganisation des processus de production au cours des dernières décennies en chaînes de valeur de plus en plus fragmentées au-delà des frontières pose de nouveaux défis pour l’analyse de l’intégration de la Belgique dans l’économie mondiale. Dans cet article, nous examinons la participation et la position de la Belgique dans les chaînes de valeur mondiales sur base de données macro-sectorielles issues d’un tableau entrées-sorties auxquelles nous avons associé des données individuelles par entreprise pour mieux cerner les rôles joués par les entreprises manufacturières hautement exportatrices et celles peu ou pas exportatrices. La prise en compte de cette hétérogénéité permet de montrer (i) qu’au sein des branches manufacturières, le processus de production des entreprises hautement exportatrices diffère de celui des autres entreprises, (ii) que ces entreprises manufacturières hautement exportatrices sont plus intégrées dans les chaînes de valeur mondiales et (iii) que leurs exportations génèrent une valeur ajoutée domestique considérable et de nombreux emplois en Belgique, dont une part substantielle dans des entreprises non manufacturières.
