The Lithuanian American Cultural Press in English (1950-1990) in the Aspect of the Dissemination of the Lithuanian Identity
Authors: Budriūnienė Jolanta 
Published: July 2020

The article examines the publication of the cultural press in English by the Lithuanian community in the United States (1950-1990), focusing on the analysis of the need for such a press and its intended addressee. The article is based on the analysis of the content of the mentioned publishing production, works dedicated to the history of the Lithuanian diaspora of this period. By reviewing the research of the Lithuanian press in the USA in the 2nd half of the 20th century, it has to be noticed that this field of research has not yet sufficiently exhausted, although the general research of the Lithuanian diaspora is really abundant. However, they mainly focus on the historical, sociological, literary, linguistic description of the problems of the diaspora and migration. Research on publishing of the Lithuanian diaspora in the Lithuanian language in the early period (end of the 19th century – first half of the 20th century) has been carried out and published in the scientific works of Ass. Prof. Dr. Bronius Raguotis, Prof. Dr. Remigijus Misiūnas. At the end of World War II, the tendencies of the press of other languages of Lithuanians, who chose a forced exile, in the conditions of DP (DP – displaced people) were also presented by Prof. Dr. R. Misiūnas. A detailed analysis of the Lithuanian cultural press published in the German DP camps was presented in the monograph by Prof. Dr. Dalia Kuizinienė. Meanwhile, the press of other languages of Lithuanian communities in both the United States and other foreign countries had not yet reached the attention of researchers. In the presented study, Pierre Bourdieu, a theorist of literary sociology, uses the insights of literature as an important social factor covering all elements of cultural practice and allows for a systematic interpretation of their interrelationships; the approaches of the communication strategy of the Lithuanian American cultural press in English are analyzed. The article presents the main content of the cultural press and the social and cultural environment that formed the background of its creation, as well as the efforts of the creators of the cultural press and the ideological attitudes of the intellectuals and ideological leaders of the community that determined them. The article concludes that the main addressee of this press – members of the US communities, while the main focus of the content is the representation of symbols of the Lithuanian national identity.

Authors: Bula Javier Alonso , Urzola Vertel Kelly Del Carmen 
Published: July 2020

La mayoría de las muertes maternas son evitables, aun si se cuentan con recursos limitados, ya que, cuando una madre muere, no solo deja a sus hijos huérfanos, sino que los obliga a enfrentar enormes riesgos, como: el desamparo, el abandono, el maltrato e, incluso, poner en peligro su propia supervivencia. El objetivo de estudio fue comprender los elementos que subyacen en las muertes maternas durante el trienio 2016-2018, desde la voz de los profesionales de salud. La presente investigación se enmarca en el paradigma interpretativo y corresponde a un estudio descriptivo cualitativo, de diseño narrativo; desarrollado a partir de la técnica de análisis de contenido, propuesto por Bardin. La muestra de estudio estuvo compuesta por la saturación teórica de los datos y la recolección de la información, se realizó a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas a profesionales del sector salud del sector público y del sector privado. Esta investigación fue aprobada por el comité de ética de la Facultad Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Córdoba. Emergieron tres categorías de análisis, la primera corresponde a mujer y contexto, en ella destacan los siguientes factores: violencia de género, la cultura, la falta de autonomía de la mujer para buscar atención en salud y la desconfianza en los servicios sanitarios; la segunda categoría, hace referencia a las barreras geográficas y económicas de las mujeres para el acceso seguro y oportuno a los servicios de salud materno-infantil; y la tercera, enuncia algunas reflexiones en torno a la prevención de la mortalidad materna. Este estudio identificó tres factores subyacentes en la mortalidad materna en la región cordobesa: las características demográficas de la mujer; el contexto social y la atención que reciben las mujeres en los servicios de salud; los factores que ayudan a perpetuar el ciclo de madres ausentes.

Published: July 2020

Napjaink kereskedelemében egyre fontosabb szerepet játszanak az új, alternatív értékesítési formák, mint például a csomagküldés, a direktértékesítés, a telefon és az internet. Releváns szakirodalmak és statisztikai adatok bizonyítják az e-kereskedelem sikerességét hazai és nemzetközi szinteken. Célunk az online értékesítés egy olyan szegmensét feltérképezni, ahol az említett eredményesség még mérsékelten van jelen. Az online élelmiszer-vásárlás jelenleg még nem integrálódott a fogyasztók életébe olyan mértékben, mint más piacvezető termékkategóriák (ruhák, lábbelik). A kérdéskör vizsgálatára a szekunder kutatás során széleskörű szakirodalmi elemzést folytattunk hazai és nemzetközi forrásokat használva. Legfőbb célunk volt választ kapni arra a kérdésre, hogy mely tényezők húzódnak meg az online fogyasztói preferenciák kialakítása mögött a gyorsan mozgó fogyasztási cikkek (FMCG) termékkategóriájában. Összességében az online kiskereskedelmi környezetben a fogyasztók körében a legelőnyösebb termékkategóriák között az utazás, a könyvek, a zene, az események, a divat, az informatika és az elektronika szerepel. Az online élelmiszer-vásárlás az eddigi elhanyagolt helyzetéből a világ egyik leggyorsabban növekvő területévé vált. A növekvő fogyasztói érdeklődés mögött a kényelem, a házhozszállítás lehetősége, az online áruházak 24 órás elérhetősége és a sorbaállás elkerülhetősége áll. Továbbá az ügyfelek könnyen információkhoz juthatnak, a különféle marketingkommunikációs eszközök segítségével mielőtt rendelnének. A leggyakoribb információgyűjtő eszközök a digitális csatornák.

Abstract
Background

Avoiding or reducing cardiopulmonary bypass-related injuries of important organs is the eternal topic in the field of cardiovascular surgery. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a promising strategy whose clinical application seems more realistic and extensive compared with other conservative or surgical strategies. However, considering its complex process which involves the expression of a variety of molecules and even genes and little is known about its underlying mechanism after years of researches, new train of thought and method must be developed to explore its potential in clinical application. Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) is a kind of RNA that has been proven be exert efficacy in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular disease. The differential expression of LncRNAs and their biological effects during RIPC have not been reported.
Methods

We first verified the protective effect of RIPC on myocardial ischemia-reperfusionby western blot, ELISA and hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. Mouse and human LncRNA arrays were used to investigate the expression signatures of LncRNAs and mRNAs in myocardial tissue after RIPC. Homology comparison was used to screen homologous genes in total differentially expressed LncRNAs. Competing endogenous RNA(ceRNA) mechanism analysis helped us find the matching relationship among homologous LncRNA, mRNA and microRNA.
Results

554 differentially expresssed mouse LncRNAs(281 up-regulated / 273 down-regulated) and 1392 differentially expresssed human LncRNAs(635 up-regulated / 757 down-regulated) were selected from LncRNA microarrays. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR) was used to verify these selected LncRNAs, after homology comparison and ceRNA mechanism analysis, we got a pair of homologous LncRNAs(ENST00000574727 & ENSMUST00000123752), predicted corresponding matching relationship and potential competitive binding sites.
Conclusions

In this study, we identify a number of differentially expressed LncRNAs, which may be closely related to the regulation of inflammation and cell proliferation. In addition, we take several pairs of homologous LncRNAs as the next research object. By continuously exploring the function and mechanism of these LncRNAs, we hope to unveil the mystery of RIPC and discover a new protective mechanism of cardiovascular ischemia-reperfusion disease.

Abstract
Background and aim: in children born preterm lung development may be affected with impairment of lung function in later ages. The aim of the study was assessing lung function in a cohort of school-aged children born preterm and assess the influence of perinatal variables. Methods: we measured lung function with impulse oscillometry system (IOS) and spirometry in 54 children [(male 48.1%, mean age 8.1 (0.8)] born preterm [mean birth weight (BW) 1462 (546.9) g, mean gestational age 31.5 (3) weeks] at Parma Children University Hospital (Italy). Maternal and perinatal data and respiratory medical history were also collected.Results: compared to predicted values, children born preterm showed higher mean values of airway impedance Z, airway resistance R5, R20, R5-20, area under the reactance curve AX and resonance frequency Fres, lower mean values of reactance X5 and FEF25-75. The mean difference between observed and predicted values of R5-R20 was higher in children born small for gestational age than in those born appropriate for gestational age. An inverse relationship was found between BW z-score and Z (r -0.40, r2 0.16; p 0.012) and R5 (r -0.44, r2 0.20; p 0.005) in children born with a BW <1500 g. Thirty-one per cent of children had a history of wheezing and 14.8% a history of lower respiratory infection requiring admission to the hospital.Conclusions: school-aged children born preterm had an impaired lung function, especially in the peripheral airways, as resulted by IOS and spirometry assessment. BW may have a role in lung development.

Abstract
Background: Radiotherapy (RT) improves local control and survival in breast cancer (BC) patients. However, risk of heart and lung side effects after post-operative left breast RT for breast cancer remain despite technological and technical RT advances. In a retrospective cohort we investigated if Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC) device can reduce risk of cardiopulmonary morbidity.Methods: we performed two different dosimetric analyses by Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) and Bio-Dose-Volume Histograms (Bio-DVH) in order to determine whether left breast RT using moderating deep inspiration breath-hold (mDIBH) with the Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC) device, may significantly reduce heart, left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) and lung radiation exposure during left breast RT performed with 3d-CRT technique.Results: Several dosimetric parameters were used in the present study to compare the treatment plans generated by FB and mDIBH images of sixty-nine consecutive patients treated between May 2012 and April 2016 at the Istituto del Radio Radiation Oncology Dept. All data derived by Bio-DVH and the heart NTCP calculation showed that ABC led to significant sparing of organs at risk compared with FB, expecially for the heart and LADCA. We also showed that the mDIBH technique significantly reduced left lung dose: in fact, through inflation, only low density lung tissue remains within the tangential field, thus avoiding its deterioration.Conclusions: Use of mDIBH gives a real advantage on breast cancer RT by reducing the radiation to the organs at risk (OARs) and consequently, the risk of cardiac and pulmonary late side effects.

Abstract
The health care associated infections (HAIs) have become a global health problem and need to establish effective infection prevention and control strategies. HAIs increase mortality, length of hospital stay, cost of care, bacterial resistance, antibiotic use and other adverse in intensive care units (ICUs), particularly in developing countries (1, 2). The International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium showed that the incidence rate for central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in ICUs in developing countries was 3-fold higher than the United States (3). It has been proved that implementation on CLABSI bundle prevention can significantly reduce HAIs (4-7).
Assessment of the contribution of assisted reproduction methods for the future development of the number of live births in Czechia

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Background: The key demographic trend concerns the postponement of parenthood to later ages. Moreover, the number of Czech women of reproductive age is decreasing, which will lead to a decrease in the number of live births even with higher fertility. The aims are to assess recent trends concerning using ART in Czechia and to estimate the impact of using ART on the future development of the number of live births. Methods: Based on data on the number of ART cycles involving the transfer of embryos in the period 2007–2012, the number of deliveries following ART was converted to the number of live births following ART by the maternal age at birth for the period 2008-2012. Subsequently, age-specific fertility rates following ART and models of the potential future development of live births following ART treatment were calculated. These models were based on a combination of two potential fertility development variants and four variants for the estimation of the future share of ART fertility of total fertility by age (V1-V4). Results: If the use of ART methods remains unchanged, there will be a decrease in the number of live births following ART in the period up to 2030 (V1 and V2) due to the declining reproductive potential of women. An increase in the number of live births following ART would occur only if there were an increase in the use of ART methods. Depending on the expected level of the increase in the use of ART, the number of live births following ART would increase by 2030 to 4.9 thousand (V3) and 6.5 thousand (V4). In relative terms, this would represent an increase from the initial 3.2% of the total number of live births to 5.0% and 6.8% respectively. Conslusions : We can expect an increase in the importance of ART for demographic trends in the future. The projection models assumed that the future development of the use of ART would be affected not only by the intensity of fertility postponement and different levels of fertility, but also by advances in reproductive medicine and the increasing availability of ART.

Abstract
Background

The signal peptide sequence is known to increase transport efficiency to organelles in eukaryotic cells. In this study, we focus on the signal peptide of the vacuolar protein for vacuolar targeting.

Results

The signal peptide sequence QRPL of carboxypeptidase Y (CPY), a vacuolar protein, was inserted inside the green fluorescent protein (GFP) that does not locate in vacuole for vacuolar targeting. The protein location was then confirmed by confocal microscopy. Fascinatingly, the green fluorescent protein that contains QRPL inside the sequence could be expressed faster than its natural form (within 1 hour after induction). In addition, aldehyde dehydrogenase 6 (ALD6), a cytosolic protein has engineered the sequence with QRPL to be transported to the vacuole. The aldehyde removal activity of ALD6 protein in the recombinant yeast was then analyzed by measuring the luminescent intensity in Vibrio fischeri .

Conclusions

In summary, the signal peptide QRPL could be used not only to transport target proteins accurately to vacuole but also to improve the protein activity, as well as to shorten the induction time.
