Published: January 2020

A growing number of online electronic resources present academic work. We are not focusing here on specialised electronic databases that store bibliographic research data, such as Medline, PubMed, ASSIA, ERIC, JSTOR, but databases or social networking websites /platforms for academics/researchers that profile research, academic and professional activities, such as SCOPUS, WoS (Web of Science), Academia.edu, KUDOS, ORCiD, ResearchGate, LinkedIn, Google-Scholar and Mendeley. We discuss databases or platforms can promote the profile of an individual academic, highlighting their research interests, grants and publications.
These databases are good outlets for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to build, improve and promote their public profile. However, the level of efforts requires to open an account or to maintain these databases regularly can be a daunting task for some scholars. This paper outlines some of these key databases and their functions and reflects on advantages and disadvantages of engaging with the most popular ones. We remind the reader that many of these databases require academics’ attention and input, and thus create more work.

Spectral generalized function method for solving homogeneous partial differential equations with constant coefficients
Authors: Cywiak-Códova D. , Gutiérrez-Juárez G. , Cywiak-Garbarcewicz And M. 
Published: January 2020

A method based on a generalized function in Fourier space gives analytical solutions to homogeneous partial differential equations with constant coefficients of any order in any number of dimensions. The method exploits well-known properties of the Dirac delta, reducing the differential mathematical problem into the factorization of an algebraic expression that finally has to be integrated. In particular, the method was utilized to solve the most general homogeneous second order partial differential equation in Cartesian coordinates, finding a general solution for non-parabolic partial differential equations, which can be seen as a generalization of d'Alambert solution. We found that the traditional classification, i.e., parabolic, hyperbolic and elliptic, is not necessary reducing the classification to only parabolic and non-parabolic cases. We put special attention for parabolic partial differential equations, analyzing the general 1D homogeneous solution of the Photoacoustic and Photothermal equations in the frequency and time domain. Finally, we also used the method to solve Helmholtz equation in cylindrical coordinates, showing that it can be used in other coordinates systems.
Inflationary cosmology: from theory to observations
Authors: Vazquez Gonzalez J. Alberto , Padilla Luis E. , Matos Tonatiuh 
Published: January 2020

The main aim of this paper is to provide a qualitative introduction to the cosmological inflation theory and its relationship with current cosmological observations. The inflationary model solves many of the fundamental problemsthat challenge the Standard Big Bang cosmology such as the Flatness, Horizon and the magnetic Monopole problems. Additionally it provides an explanation for the initial conditions observed throughout the Large-Scale Structure of the Universe, such as galaxies. In this review we describe general solutions to the problems in the Big Bang cosmology carry out by a single scalar eld. Then, with the use of current surveys, we show the constraints imposed on the inflationary parameters (ns; r) which allow us to make the connection between theoretical and observational cosmology. In this way, with the latest results, it is possible to select or at least to constrain the right inflationary model, parameterized by a single scalar eld potential V (\phi).

Authors: Fekih-Romdhane F. , Bouali S. , Balti M. , Labbane R. , Cheour M. 
Published: January 2020

Introduction : Le diagnostic du cancer du sein est un événement potentiellement mortel associé à une détresse importante. La présente étude visait à évaluer la prévalence et la sévérité des symptômes de stress post-traumatique ; et à analyser l’association entre les symptômes de stress posttraumatique et la dépression, les données relatives à la maladie cancéreuse et les données sociodémographiques chez ces femmes.
Méthodes : Soixante et une femmes atteintes d’un cancer du sein nouvellement diagnostiqué ont rempli deux questionnaires : l’Impact of Event Scale révisé (IES-R) et la souséchelle DASS–Dépression des échelles de dépression, de stress et d’anxiété (DASS-21). Les femmes ont été interrogées quatre semaines après l’annonce du diagnostic. Les patientes étaient âgées de 18 à 65 ans et avaient un cancer du sein histologiquement confirmé et sans antécédents d’autres cancers.
Résultats : L’âge moyen des patientes incluses dans cette étude était de 46,5 ans. La majorité d’entre elles vivaient en milieux urbains (82 %) et avaient un niveau socioéconomique moyen (83,6 %). Trente-six pour cent des patientes atteintes d’un cancer du sein ont été diagnostiquées à un stade avancé (III et IV) et ont reçu un traitement chirurgical dans 73,8 % des cas. 57,4 % des patientes atteintes d’un cancer du sein nouvellement diagnostiqué présentaient des symptômes de stress post-traumatique supérieurs au seuil (score IER-S > 33) et 18,0 %des symptômes dépressifs (score DASS-dépression > 9). L’absence de revenu (notamment être sans profession ou étudiante) et la dépression étaient les meilleurs prédicteurs des symptômes du trouble de stress post-traumatique dans notre population.
Conclusion : L’observation de la complexité du vécu des patientes atteintes de cancer du sein renforce l’idée de la nécessité d’un accompagnement spécifique. Une évaluation précoce des besoins psychoémotionnels des patientes atteintes de cancer du sein et une intervention précoce pourraient être particulièrement utiles.

Authors: Ranasinghe T.K.G.P. , Piyadasa R.U.K. 
Published: January 2020

Seawater intrusion is increasing in Bentota area, Sri Lanka while diminishing the land productivity and yielding poor food production and making several socio economic issues for the community in the area. Key innovation of this study is to model coastal salinity susceptibility in Bentota area based on the future scenario of climate change to mitigate land degradation. The temporal and spatial distributions of five parameters of soil (moisture, EC, pH, chloride, nitrate) and eleven parameters of ground water and surface water (pH, EC, TDS, DO, chloride, nitrate, sulfate, calcium, magnesium, sodium and SAR) were monitored considering the sample data collected from July 2016 to June 2017 and analyzed applying Arc GIS software. Water quality was assessed in terms of index based on the standards of World Health Organization. Soil parameters were reclassified in to respective salinity classes based on acceptable standards. Spatial distribution of soil salinity, ground and surface water quality were integrated using multi-criteria evaluation approach to determine level of coastal salinity. Results of this analysis vigorously indicate that highly salinized, moderately salinized and slightly salinized land extent with respect to the total land extent were 3.4%, 39.6% and 57% respectively; whereas entire area is facing the threats of seawater intrusion and coastal salinity effects by year 2025. This salinity susceptibility model will facilitate for the spatial planning of future land use of this area by providing guidance to local authority in the process of allocating salinized lands for development activities.
Linguistic Data Model for Natural Languages and Artificial Intelligence. Part 2. Identification
Authors: Polyakov O. M. 
Published: January 2020

Introduction. The article continues a series of publications on the linguistics of relations (hereinafter R-linguistics) and is devoted to the origin of signs, their independence and determination of the dimension of linguistic spaces.Methodology and sources. The article is devoted to the continuation of the axiomatic approach, but for the identification process. Research methods are to develop the necessary mathematical concepts for linguistics in the field of identification. Results and discussion. The concept of a sign is defined and its interrelation with decomposition of linguistic spaces is established. This radically changes the attitude to signs in linguistics, where the “external” origin of signs is assumed. It is shown that the decomposition of linguistic spaces into signs spaces entails the independence of signs and the possibility of decomposition of objects of identification. It is fundamentally distinguished by the signs on the parameters. On the basis of the independence of signs it is possible to formulate the notion of dimension of linguistic spaces, which is defined as the smallest number of signs describing the linguistic space. In the lattice of linguistic spaces there is a division operation, which allows to simplify the selection of signs.Conclusion. The main conclusions are as follows. Signs, on the basis of which the identification of objects in the category, are abstract mathematical objects associated with the decomposition of linguistic spaces. Signs are independent from each other and allow not only to make decomposition of spaces, but also to decompose on parts objects of identification. Their origin is not related to their presence in the “outside world”, so it, as will be shown later, creates the basis for the emergence of language.

Increased fluid intake to prevent urinary tract infections: systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Scott Anna Mae , Clark Justin , Mar Chris Del , Glasziou Paul 
Published: January 2020

BackgroundApproximately 15% of community-prescribed antibiotics are used in treating urinary tract infections (UTIs). Increase in antibiotic resistance necessitates considering alternatives.AimTo assess the impact of increased fluid intake in individuals at risk for UTIs, for impact on UTI recurrence (primary outcome), antimicrobial use, and UTI symptoms (secondary outcomes).Design and settingA systematic review.MethodThe authors searched PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, two trial registries, and conducted forward and backward citation searches of included studies in January 2019. Randomised controlled trials of individuals at risk for UTIs were included; comparisons with antimicrobials were excluded. Different time-points (≤6 months and 12 months) were compared for the primary outcome. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Meta-analyses were undertaken where ≥3 studies reported the same outcome.ResultsEight studies were included; seven were meta-analysed. There was a statistically non-significant reduction in the number of patients with any UTI recurrence in the increased fluid intake group compared with control after 12 months (odds ratio [OR] 0.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.15 to 1.03, P = 0.06); reduction was significant at ≤6 months (OR 0.13, 95% CI = 0.07 to 0.25, P<0.001). Excluding studies with low volume of fluid (<200 ml) significantly favoured increased fluid intake (OR 0.25, 95% CI = 0.11 to 0.59, P = 0.001). Increased fluid intake reduced the overall rate of all recurrent UTIs (rate ratio [RR] 0.46, 95% CI = 0.40 to 0.54, P<0.001); there was no difference in antimicrobial use (OR 0.52, 95% CI = 0.25 to 1.07, P = 0.08). Paucity of data precluded meta-analysing symptoms.ConclusionGiven the minimal potential for harm, patients with recurrent UTIs could be advised to drink more fluids to reduce recurrent UTIs. Further research is warranted to establish the optimal volume and type of increased fluid.
