Introduction: We evaluated the trajectory of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after kidney surgery in patients with kidney cancer and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: We identified 1204 consecutive patients in our institutional database with preoperative CKD undergoing partial or radical nephrectomy from 1998–2016. Postoperative eGFR was tracked, with patients censored when receiving dialysis or kidney transplantation. A multivariable mixed-effects models assessed associations between preoperative baseline patient and tumor characteristics, and longitudinal eGFR. The Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable Cox regression were used to estimate overall survival, cancer-specific survival, and cumulative incidence of dialysis.
Results: Preoperatively, 892 (74.1%), 271 (22.5%), and 41 (3.4%) patients had CKD stage 3a, 3b, and 4/5, respectively. There were 55 patients dialyzed and 355 deaths (99 from kidney cancer). Median followup was 8.1 years, with 25 781 postoperative eGFR measurements. Factors associated with decreasing eGFR postoperatively included radical nephrectomy, male gender, older age, increased body mass index (BMI), and cardiovascular risk factors. We observed a significant interaction effect between time from surgery and preoperative CKD stage: the eGFR of stage 3a patients improved, while stage ≥3b declined (p<0.001). The two- year and five-year cumulative incidence of dialysis was 1.8% (1.1–2.6%) and 3.1% (2.2–4.2%), respectively. The cumulative incidence of dialysis, with death as a competing event, significantly differed by preoperative CKD stage.
Conclusions: Preoperative CKD stage ≥3b is independently associated with a higher risk of declining renal function, dialysis, and mortality. With careful selection, patients with preoperative CKD withstand kidney surgery with low rates of dialysis.
A scoping review of the clinical efficacy and safety of the novel thulium fiber laser: The rising star of laser lithotripsy
Authors: Gao Bruce , Bobrowski Adam , Lee Jason 
Published: July 2020

Introduction: The holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser is the gold standard for intracorporeal lithotripsy. Preclinical reports suggest the thulium laser fibre (TFL) may possess advantages over the Ho:YAG laser, including improved lithotripsy efficacy, enhanced safety, and lower costs. Although the TFL is well-characterized in vitro, there are no reviews examining TFL lithotripsy in a clinical setting.
Methods: A review of the literature was conducted using a systematic search of MEDLINE, PubMed, and Embase, yielding a total of 130 manuscripts published up to May 2020. Two independent reviewers selected studies for screening, eligibility, and inclusion into the scoping review. Following the title, abstract, and full-text review, 14 articles were analyzed.
Results: Within these articles, there were 13 prospective cohort studies and one case series. The average sample size was 100 participants. Study followup durations ranged from four weeks to three months. TFL had comparable stone-free rates to Ho:YAG lasers and improved operating time. TFL was subjectively favorable in terms of stone retropulsion, stone fragmentation, endoscopic maneuverability, and endoscopic visibility. TFL appeared clinically safe and did not result in any major complications. Many studies were underpowered and non-peer-reviewed, demonstrating the need for additional research in this field.
Conclusions: The TFL has the potential to catalyze a paradigm shift in laser lithotripsy. While the objective of this scoping review was to describe the contemporary landscape of the literature, it is important to consider that inferences posed by the studies described herein must be tempered by the low quality of available evidence.

The restorative justice response to extremist violence – A closer look at European initiatives
Organizing restorative justice practices around crimes involving extremist violence remains a difficult task. It is not self-evident to bring perpetrators with very specific and radical ideas into contact with their victims. Nevertheless, interesting initiatives have been made in a number of European countries. In Spain, Italy and Northern Ireland, among others, initiatives were taken in response to the extremist violence that these countries experienced at the end of the 20th century. These initiatives have a very specific context and praxis, initiated ad hoc with attention to the specific needs of those involved. In no case can they be considered standard models or generalized practices. This contribution describes some of these initiatives in Spain, Italy and Northern Ireland and reflects on the potential uses of these dialogues in general.

Los Centros Especiales de Empleo: configuración legal e incidencia y valoración de las últimas actuaciones normativas
Authors: Sánchez Pachón Luis Ángel 
Published: July 2020

El reconocimiento legal de los Centros Especiales de Empleo (CEE) se produjo en la Ley 13/1982, de 7 de abril. La Ley 5/2011, de Economía Social, incluyó a los CEE dentro de las entidades de economía social. El Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2013 dio una nueva definición de los CEE. La Ley 9/2017, de 8 de noviembre, de contratos del sector público, produjo un cambio significativo en la tipificación de los CEE, repercutiendo en las reservas de contrataciones del sector público. En el trabajo repasamos esta evolución normativa, nos centramos en la caracterización actual de los CEE y en el cambio significativo producido en la Ley de 2017. El cambio no deja de ser polémico. En los pocos años de vigencia de la reforma surgen conflictos en su aplicación, discrepancias interpretativas, desajustes o colisiones con otras instituciones de nuestro sistema jurídico y no faltan, tampoco, voces críticas que cuestionan sus objetivos.

De la misma forma que la educación tiene la responsabilidad de fomentar la inserción laboral, la empleabilidad está reconocida como una competencia para el logro y mantenimiento del empleo, es por ello que, la empleabilidad es un eje central en la educación. En la Declaración de Incheon y el Objetivo 4 de Educación 2030 de Desarrollo Sostenible se destaca la importancia de las competencias básicas para hacer frente a la vulnerabilidad social y con el fin de conseguir el pleno empleo. Sin embargo, en la literatura científica sobre empleabilidad no hay acuerdo sobre los indicadores que la integran. Nuestro objetivo es delimitar qué indicadores resultan relevantes para el desarrollo de la empleabilidad. Para ello, analizamos los indicadores de empleabilidad que utilizan 30 empresas de inserción (EI) españolas para la realización de los itinerarios formativos de los trabajadores de inserción (PTI). Los resultados muestran una gran heterogeneidad de indicadores. La mayoría de ellos son características individuales, en menor medida hemos encontrado circunstancias personales y prácticamente inexistentes aparecen factores contextuales. Este artículo finaliza resaltando el vínculo formación-trabajo y la formación integral de la persona.

Evaluation of knowledge, attitudes, and clinical education of dental students about COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Ataş Osman , Talo Yildirim Tuba 
Published: July 2020

Background
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new viral respiratory illness, first identified in Wuhan province, China. Dental professionals and dental students are at an increased risk for these viruses from dental patients, as dental practice involves face-to-face communication with the patients and frequent exposure to saliva, blood, and other body fluids. Dental education can play an important role in the training of dental students, adequate knowledge and adopting attitudes regarding infection control measures. The aim of this study was to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and clinical education of dental students about COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods
A total of 355 pre-clinical and clinical dental students (242 and 113, respectively, comprising 190 females and 165 males) at Fırat University Dentistry Faculty, in Elazığ, Turkey answered an online questionnaire about the biosafety procedures for and their attitudes to and knowledge of COVID-19. The study was conducted in March 2020, Turkey. The data gained were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods and chi-square test.

Results
Both the clinical and preclinical students were found to be afraid of infecting themselves and their environment with COVID-19, and the difference between them was statistically significant. Three quarters (74.9%) of the participants responded yes to the question of whether they thought that experiences related to COVID-19 affected them psychologically, with the differences between gender and clinical status were statistically significant. Responses to the question of which clinical rotation worried them more were 29.9% endodontics, 25.1% oral and maxillofacial surgery, 16.3% prosthesis, 15.2% periodontology, 6.8% restorative dentistry, 3.9% oral diagnosis and radiology, 1.7% pedodontics, and 1.1% orthodontics, with a significant difference between the preclinical and clinical students. Regarding the measures applied by the clinical students in their clinical rotation, the responses were 100% gloves and 100% mask (with 11.5% FFP3/N95 mask), 73.6% face protective shield and 37.1% safety glasses, and 49% bonnet and 16.8% disposable box, with 90.2% frequent hand washing, and 86.7% frequent hand antiseptic usage.

Conclusions
While students gave good responses regarding the standard measures they take to protect against transmission of COVID-19, their knowledge and attitudes about the extra measures they can take should be improved. For students to be least affected by fears associated with the disease, dental faculties should be ready to provide psychological services to those in need.
The diet of otters (Lutra lutra) on the Agri river system, one of the most important presence sites in Italy: a molecular approach

Published: July 2020

BackgroundThe Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) underwent a strong decline in large areas of the Central-Western part of its distribution range, during the second half of the twentieth century. In Italy, only residual fragmented nuclei survive in the Central-Southern part of the peninsula. Nowadays, the otter is one of the most endangered mammals in Italy, and increasing the knowledge about the ecology of this species is a key step in defining fitting management strategies. Here we provide information about the diet of otter on the Agri river system, one of the most important presence sites in Italy, to understand both the species’ food requirements and the impact on fish communities.MethodsDNA metabarcoding and High Throughput Sequencing were used on DNA extracted from spraints. We amplified DNA with a primer set for vertebrates, focusing efforts on the bulk of the otter’s diet (fishes and amphibians).ResultsOur findings showed that the diet of the otter was dominated by cyprinids (97.77%, and 99.14% of fishes), while amphibians represented 0.85% of the sequences analyzed. Results are in general accordance with previous studies based on morphological characterization; however, molecular analyses allow the resolving of some morphological uncertainties. Although the study area offers a very wide range of available prey, the diet of the otters shows marked selectivity. We highlighted a variation in prey consumed, in accordance with the typology of water system (i.e., river, lake, tributary). Some of the preys found in the diet were alien species introduced by man for sport fishing. Our findings could help define strategies useful for the conservation of the otter population in Southern Italy, suggesting management actions directed at avoiding fish community alterations through illegal stockings without severe controls on their taxonomic status. These introductions could result in a general reduction in the diversity of the otter’s preys, affecting its predatory behavior.

As artes e os ofícios de um letrado afro-diaspórico: Eliseu César (1871-1923)
Authors: Domingues Petrônio , Rocha Solange Pereira da , Flores Elio Chaves 
Published: July 2020

O artigo reconstitui fragmentos da vida de Eliseu Elias César (1871-1923), um intelectual afro-diaspórico que circulou por diferentes regiões do Brasil. Em todas elas, manteve uma vida profissional polivalente, desenvolvendo seus “talentos” como advogado, jornalista, político, poeta e orador. Procura-se destacar as experiências proativas de um negro que se apropriou das “artes de dizer” pela escrita e oralidade, assim como pela ação política e agência associativa, travando embates na esfera pública e participando de governo e grupos republicanos. A trajetória de Eliseu César sugere a importância de revisitar as interpretações históricas que subestimaram ou mesmo negligenciaram o papel do negro na cena histórica republicana. Assim, ao descortinar e problematizar aspectos da vida desse personagem, o artigo procura lançar luz sobre as complexidades, tensões, lutas e ambiguidades relacionadas à afirmação da cidadania negra no Brasil pós-abolição.
Highly Filled Glycerol/Graphite Suspensions as Fluidic Soft Sensors and Their Responsive Mechanism to Shear
Authors: Zhou Tianyu , Guo Baohua , Xu Jun 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThe conductive suspensions composed of high content of graphite flakes dispersed in glycerol demonstrate flow field sensitive resistance and memory effect of the deformation history, which are expected to work as new fluidic soft sensors. The resistance of the suspensions responds to the local flow field caused by vibrations, stretching, and shear. The combined electro‐rheo tests are carried out to reveal the resistance response to different types of flow field. Based on the variations of resistance, a microstructural model considering the direction of the flow field and the corresponding transition kinetics of the different microstructures of fillers are established in the present work. The contents of the microstructures vary with both the shear strain and the shear direction and the transition rate between the different microstructures depended on the shear rate. The unveiled mechanism via the proposed model is expected to deepen the understanding of conductive suspensions so as to further guide the design of soft sensors based on conductive suspensions and composites.

AbstractSince 1989, four Canadian Consensus Conferences on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dementia (CCCDTD) have provided evidence‐based dementia guidelines for Canadian clinicians and researchers. We present the results of the 5th CCCDTD, which convened in October 2019, to address topics chosen by the steering committee to reflect advances in the field, and build on previous guidelines. Topics included: (1) utility of the National Institute on Aging research framework for clinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis; (2) updating diagnostic criteria for vascular cognitive impairment, and its management; (3) dementia case finding and detection; (4) neuroimaging and fluid biomarkers in diagnosis; (5) use of non‐cognitive markers of dementia for better dementia detection; (6) risk reduction/prevention; (7) psychosocial and non‐pharmacological interventions; and (8) deprescription of medications used to treat dementia. We hope the guidelines are useful for clinicians, researchers, policy makers, and the lay public, to inform a current and evidence‐based approach to dementia.
