Thracology and Nationalism in Bulgaria. Deconstructing Contemporaneous Historical and Archaeological Representations
Authors: Marinov Ivan , Zorzin Nicolas 
Published: September 2020

It is now widely acknowledged that Bulgarian academic discourses of the country’s so-called communist era (1945-1989) were heavily politicized with the aim of nationalizing and ethnicizing the history of the Bulgarian people. This communist era phenomenon subscribes to a chronologically vaster process of nationalist continuum recognized to have spanned from the middle-end of the nineteenth century to at least the early 1990s. Despite this trend, Bulgarian academics, especially in the field of archaeology, have more recently presented their post-communist, transition period disciplines as ideology-free, objective, scientific research.
In this paper, we provide examples of recent theoretical developments and interpretations in the sub-field of thracology – studies of ancient Thracian culture – that indicate that this claim to objectivity is unfounded. Based on the examples provided we argue that not only have Bulgarian academic discourses in the fields in question not severed with the ethnicizing practices of the so-called nationalist continuum of the pre-communist and communist eras, but they are now flourishing on the nationalist foundation of the preceding century and a half. As such discourses are reproduced unquestioningly in specialized publications, their influence on right wing populism is incontestable as they provide the latter, wittingly or not, with the scientific authority it needs to justify its ethnicizing of “historical” tenets of racial and social discrimination.

WHO evaluated that in every nine people there is one elderly individual, i.e. of age >60 years. Compared to young adults, elderly persons have more illnesses, as ageing is often accompanied by chronic diseases, co-morbidity, disability and social isolation. MAI was developed to evaluate appropriateness of medications in all age group. Objective of the study was to assess polypharmacy and appropriateness in prescription. A cross sectional study was carried out for a period of 6 months to assess medication appropriateness. Patients of both sexes above 60 years of age, with at least one chronic illness were included. Out of 481 drugs 32 drugs were marginally inappropriate and 53 drugs were inappropriate according to MAI criteria and 12 participants were completely frail according to GFI (GFI Score ≥4). Polypharmacy and PIM are highly prevalent in geriatric population, which has a major health care outcome. Standard criteria should be considered before prescribing the medications in geriatric population.
Keywords: Geriatrics, polypharmacy, MAI.

Published: September 2020

Cryptographic solution for protecting data which pass through an insecure public network is widely applied. To ensure the data confidentiality and availability, the secret key must be exchanged securely between parties before beginning a transaction session. This paper presents a protocol to enhance the flexibility and secrecy of symmetric key exchange over the Internet. Our approach uses an asymmetric encryption algorithm to protect symmetric encryption keys from thefts and tampers over a transmission line. In addition, this paper presents a protocol to ensure the integrity, confidentiality of the symmetric key, and the freshness of a transaction session. Experimental results from a prototype system based on FPGA are also revealed.

Published: September 2020

The paper respectively studies the transformations of spin component operators and their eigenfunctions from to representation. The studies demonstrate that if using the matrix of obtaining from the equation of transforming the eigenfunctions of and in terms of the transformation arising from Ref. [7] for all of the spin component operators from to representation, a negative symbol will occur in the result, which is not concordant with the commutation relation between and . Moreover, this matrix of transformation can not be applied to the transformation of the eigenfunctions of or . It therefore concludes that with respect to the transformation of representation of an operator and its eigenfunctions, the matrix of transformation should be obtained from the equation of transforming the eigenfunctions of the same operator from the old to the new representation.

Published: September 2020

Most high agricultural potential regions in Kenya such as Imenti South (Meru County) have exceeded their population density and have been associated with sharp decline in farm productivity. There has been a systematic transformation of land use for banana production in the area. This has led to reduction in land acreage under other crops and increase in land acreage under banana farming. This study focused on land use and banana production trends between the years 2000 to 2019 in Imenti South. To achieve the objective, the study used mixed research design that involved qualitative and quantitative approaches. A sample size of 377 respondents was identified using simple random sampling. Banana yields and land acreage data were obtained from Imenti South Agricultural office for the study period. The main research instruments were questionnaires for households and key informants. Majority of the respondents (72%) in the study region admitted to have changed the land use and type of crops they have been farming during the study period whereas 28% changed from other crops to banana farming. Land acreage and banana production have been increasing during the study period in the area. The study revealed there is positive and statistically significant relationship (r = .617; p = .004) between land under banana and production. The study recommends that stakeholders in County governments should establish departments that independently identify, analyses, monitor and educates the famers on the new technologies that improves and increases banana production

Published: September 2020

A Cardiopatia Congênita se apresenta como uma variedade de anormalidades na anatomia e/ou função cardíaca e pode ser classificada como acianótica ou cianótica. O tratamento dessa patologia se dá inicialmente pela estabilização dos sintomas, através da suplementação de oxigênio e a administração de medicamentos, como por exemplo, o alprostadil, visando melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes e prepará-los para correção cirúrgica. O objetivo desse trabalho foi traçar o perfil do uso do alprostadil em pacientes neonatos com cardiopatia congênita. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, retrospectivo e com abordagens quantitativas, realizado em um hospital terciário da rede pública do Estado do Ceará. Foram avaliados 79 prontuários de pacientes no período de janeiro de 2015 a setembro de 2019 que fizeram uso de alprostadil com diagnóstico ou não de cardiopatia congênita. Observou-se que o perfil de neonatos que utilizaram o alprostadil foi de 12,7 dias de vida, peso médio de 2712,8g, classificados adequadamente quanto ao peso e a idade gestacional. A prevalência de cardiopatia congênita foi maior no sexo masculino, cor parda e RN a termo. O cateter de inserção periférica e a ventilação mecânica induzida foram as formas de acesso e oxigenação mais utilizadas. O ecocardiograma foi realizado em 86% dos recém-nascidos, notificando 78% das cardiopatias cianogênicas. Conclui-se que o uso do alprostadil possui segurança e eficácia, entretanto sozinho não é suficiente para aumentar os dias de vidas dos pacientes neonatos com cardiopatia complexa/múltipla, visto a severidade das alterações.

Authors: Kusumayati Lusiana Dewi 
Published: September 2020

Abstract. This research aims at investigating the use of DMs in expository essays written by Indonesian EFL learners with different levels of English language proficiency. 10 students from the second semester of Civil Airport Engineering Program at Politeknik Penerbangan Surabaya (Aviation Polytechnic of Surabaya) were taken as the sample. They were divided into two groups, high and low competence of writing skill. To represent the targeted DMs, it relies on Fraser’s taxonomy. The result of students’ writing indicates that students with high and low competence of writing skill employed comparable rates of discourse markers in their essays. Those who have lower competence of writing skill were found using more limited sets of discourse markers than those who have higher competence of writing skill. The students having low competence of writing skill were also found using these DMs in narrow range of functions and in a more limited set of positions. Moreover, the discourse markers that are used by the students having low competence of writing skill were found more redundant from the point of view of syntactic categories. On the other hand, the DMs used by the high competence of writing skill were found more varieties. It could be concluded that the use of discourse markers is affected by the levels of writing competence of EFL learners. Keywords: discourse markers, EFL learners, English language proficiency, written discourse.
Integrative Analysis of SIX1 and Cancer Stem Cell Markers in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Authors: BALÇIK ERÇİN Pelin 
Published: September 2020

Objective: Transcription factor SIX1 aberrant expression has been shown in various mammalian tumors, and also recent studies indicated that SIX1 has a role in cancer stem cell properties. However, its roles in HCC cancer stem cell characteristics remain unclear. The aim of the study, to evaluate the EMT-inducer SIX1 and cancer stem cell markers expression profile in-vitro and in-vivo analyses.
Material and Methods: SIX1 expression was suppressed by short hairpin RNA transduction in the SNU398 HCC cell line. Tumorsphere formation assay is a golden useful assay for cancer stem cell analysis. SIX1-dependent cancer stem cell markers PROM1, EPCAM, and OCT4 differential gene expression profiles were assessed in tumorsphere formation assay by RT-qPCR. Differential expression and correlation analyses were performed in transcriptome data in cirrhosis and HCC tissue samples.
Results: Assessment of SIX1-knockdown expression of target genes in tumorsphere formation assay revealed PROM1, EPCAM expressions were significantly up-regulated but OCT4 gene expression was significantly down-regulated. Conformably, PROM1 and EPCAM expressions were inversely but OCT4 expression was positively correlated in transcriptome arrays in HCC tissues. Interestingly, to the evaluation of the same gene expressions were shown different patterns except, OCT4 in cirrhosis samples. The mRNA expression profiles did not change between cirrhosis and HCC samples in the SIX1, EPCAM, PROM1, and OCT4 gene expression profiles.
Conclusion: Cancer stem cells are self‐renewable cell types and are responsible for cancer progression. Findings from this study highlight the SIX1 and cancer stemness-related genes expression correlations to improve our knowledge for HCC molecular signatures.
Application of airborne radiometric surveys for large-scale geogenic radon potential classification
Authors: Elío Javier , Crowley Quentin , Scanlon Ray , Hodgson Jim , Long Stephanie , Cooper Mark , Gallagher Vincent 
Published: September 2020

Background: Indoor radon represents an important health issue to the general population. Therefore, accurate radon risk maps help public authorities to prioritise areas where mitigation actions should be implemented. As the main source of indoor radon is the soil where the building is constructed, maps derived from geogenic factors ([e.g. geogenic radon potential [GRP]) are viewed as valuable tools for radon mapping.
Objectives: A novel indirect method for estimating the GRP at national/regional level is presented and evaluated in this article.
Design: We calculate the radon risk solely based on the radon concentration in the soil and on the subsoil permeability. The soil gas radon concentration was estimated using airborne gamma-ray spectrometry (i.e. equivalent uranium [eU]), assuming a secular equilibrium between eU and radium (226Ra). The subsoil permeability was estimated based on groundwater subsoil permeability and superficial geology (i.e. quaternary geology) by assigning a permeability category to each soil type (i.e. low, moderate or high). Soil gas predictions were compared with in situ radon measurements for representative areas, and the resulting GRP map was validated with independent indoor radon data.
Results: There was good agreement between soil gas radon predictions and in situ measurements, and the resultant GRP map identifies potential radon risk areas. Our model shows that the probability of having an indoor radon concentration higher than the Irish reference level (200 Bq m-3) increases from c. 6% (5.2% – 7.1%) for an area classified as Low risk, to c. 9.7% (9.1% – 10.5%) for Moderate-Low risk areas, c. 14% (13.4% – 15.3%) for Moderate-High risk areas and c. 26% (24.5% – 28.6%) for High risk areas.
Conclusions: The method proposed here is a potential alternative approach for radon mapping when airborne radiometric data (i.e. eU) are available.
Electron irradiation resistance of NiO/ZnO visible-light-transparent solar cells

Published: September 2020

Abstract
In this study, the degradation of photovoltaic properties of NiO/ZnO visible-light-transparent solar cells after 2 MeV electron irradiation is investigated to explore the possibility of space applications. No significant degradation is observed after 2 MeV electron irradiation at the fluence of 1 × 1017 cm−2. The electrical performance of NiO/ZnO solar cells exhibited a higher electron irradiation resistance than that of polycrystalline Si or Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells. The high electron irradiation resistance of NiO/ZnO solar cells is thought to be due to large threshold displacement energies of NiO and ZnO, and also to the recovery from radiation-induced damage at room temperature. These results represent the first step toward the realization of the practical application of NiO/ZnO solar cells in space.
