The Evolution of The Vampire From A Gruesome Gothic Creature To A Superstar Of Popular Culture With Reference To The Vampire Diaries Tv Series
Authors: Debnath Kunal 
Published: June 2020

A vampire is a mythological-folkloric creature that is said to feed on the blood of the living. It is a Gothic uncanny figure. So judging by the outlook, a vampire is not a figure with whom we should fall in love with. But judging by the current trends in popular culture, it is not true so. Though vampires were once portrayed as gruesome and horrible, with the passage of time, change in trends and paradigm shift in popular culture, they have been naturalized as normal. They have even attained celebrity status. The evolution of the vampire from a gruesome Gothic figure to a superstar of popular culture goes through a process of three stages-

Published: June 2020

Although epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors are one of the most effective treatment options for lung cancer, they frequently cause cutaneous toxicity that can lead to treatment discontinuation. Dryness, which is a common form of cutaneous toxicity, is usually treated using medical moisturizing agents. We aimed to investigate the treatment of cutaneous toxicity caused by EGFR inhibitors by comparing patients who used a cosmetic moisturizer with those who used conventional medical moisturizers. This study included 12 patients with lung cancer, who were receiving EGFR inhibitors and using topical medical moisturizers. The participants were assigned to a group that continued using medical moisturizers or a group that began using NOV® skin cream D. The study’s findings showed that like conventional medical moisturizers, NOV®skin cream D improved the cutaneous dryness caused by EGFR inhibitors and that it might additionally improve patients’ quality of life. Also, we obtained novel findings that NOV® skin cream D normalized keratinization, which is a component of normal skin cell differentiation impeded by EGFR inhibitors. Hence, the cosmetic moisturizer may help to prevent the discontinuation of EGFR inhibitors, thereby ensuring their continuous therapeutic effects.

BUILDING THE ENGINEERING MINDSET: DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT COMPETENCIES IN THE ENGINEERING CURRICULUM
Authors: Jamieson Marnie , Donald John 
Published: June 2020

In this paper we explore building the engineering mindset from the perspective of developing exceptional leadership and management competencies to guide and support the traditional technical competencies that are the primary focus of undergraduate engineering programs. A knowledge base for engineering, science, and design is developed throughout most engineering programs. Math and science are carefully scaffolded from first year engineering to ensure technical competence by graduation. We ask the questions: “How are leadership and management related to engineering work and design?” and “Can we develop a framework to guide the development of leadership and management skills in the engineering curriculum?” We argue leadership and management are integral to the engineering mindset and necessary to address the complex engineering problems society faces. There is discord between the responsibility of the engineer and the decision-making authority for engineering projects. This dissonance often results in engineers being technically accountable for their designs yet lacking the authority to make decisions with respect to the construction, commissioning, and operation of their designs. To address this gap, we suggest leadership and management training be carefully scaffolded in the same manner that technical competence has been stewarded in engineering programs and propose a framework to do so.

Authors: Dias Julio Cesar 
Published: June 2020

O futebol vem mantendo um processo evolutivo até os dias de hoje. É o esporte mais praticado no mundo e, paralelamente à expansão desta atividade, cresceram também as lesões traumáticas, do sistema músculo esquelético, uma vez que, com a modernização evoluíram também as questões técnicas, táticas e principalmente físicas, caracterizadas pelas mudanças rápidas de direção, aceleração, desaceleração, resistência, força, agilidade, flexibilidade e principalmente pelo contato físico entre os praticantes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar os tipos e quantidade de lesões de atletas de futebol profissional de uma equipe do interior do Estado de São Paulo no período de de 2009 à 2015. Foi realizado um levantamento dos tipos e número de lesões dos atletas através da avaliação funcional do fisioterapeuta da referida equipe e análise dos resultados dos exames de diagnóstico por imagem (radiografia, ultrassonografia e ressonância nuclear magnética). Os resultados apontam um total de 201 lesões, sendo as mais frequentes: muscular (64%), joelho (18%), tornozelo/pé, (8%), ombro/punho/mão/coluna (2%) e face/costela/púbis/perna( 1%). Em relação ao período estudado observou-se diminuição das lesões musculares da ordem de 8%. Quanto ao total de lesões ocorreu pequeno aumento em 2013 e um decréscimo de 22% nas temporadas de 2014 e 2015. Estes resultados indicam que as lesões musculares predominam em relação às demais corroborando com a evolução do futebol no que se refere ao aumento do contato e exigência física dos atletas nos treinos e jogos. Entretanto, constatou-se que as lesões individuais e coletiva da equipe diminuíram em cada temporada à medida que o clube investiu na estrutura clínica e física para prevenção e reabilitação deste atletas.

Régimen laboral de las empresas públicas ecuatorianas
Authors: VILLAVICENCIO LIZZETH 
Published: June 2020

Las empresas públicas son entidades a las cuales los Estados han ido atribuyéndoles caracterí­sticas hasta convertirlas en una herramienta fundamental para el cumplimiento de sus objetivos. Debido a su utilidad, se ha previsto un régimen jurí­dico particular que les permita asimilar su funcionamiento a las empresas privadas para que puedan competir en igualdad de condiciones y producir rentabilidad social.
En el mismo sentido, se ha sugerido que su régimen laboral diste de aquel que impera en el resto del sector púbico. A través de una metodologí­a explicativa, el presente artí­culo pretende develar el régimen laboral que el legislador ecuatoriano ha previsto para los servidores públicos que trabajan en estas entidades. Desde una perspectiva analí­tica, se pretende concluir que se trata de un régimen mixto que no concuerda con lo establecido por la doctrina y que requiere ser unificado para evitar interpretaciones arbitrarias.

Controlling formation of metal ion adducts and enhancing sensitivity in Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry
Authors: Marwah Padma , Marwah Ashok K. , Zimba Paul V. 
Published: June 2020

Formation of metal ion adducts in mass spectrometry, particularly in electrospray ionization liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (ESI-LC-MS), is a nightmare scenario for an analyst dealing with quantitative analysis. We have studied in detail the metal adduct formation and concluded that the use of fluorinated alkanoic acids along with formic acid and volatile ammonium salts was extremely useful in suppressing metal adduct formation in positive ion mode of ESI-LC-MS. The extremely high electronegativity of fluorine atom and unique electrostatic nature of C—F bond coupled with stereo-electronic interactions with neighboring bonds or lone pairs enables the polyfluorinated alkanoic acids in trapping highly electropositive ions (Na+, K+) thereby letting proton do its job efficiently. Addition of formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, heptafluorobutyric acid and ammonium acetate was found to be extremely effective in controlling metal ion adducts and producing [M+H]+ ions almost exclusively resulting in significant increase in the sensitivity. This technique has been successfully used in our laboratory for the estimation of targeted and nontargeted analysis of pesticides, marine toxins, drugs and pharmaceuticals etc. in various matrices including environmental waters using liquid chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometer operated in all ion acquisition mode and triple quadruples (QQQ) in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode.

The Effects of Tobacco Modification on the Biological Response to 13-Week Cigarette Smoke Inhalation in Inbred Syrian Hamsters
Authors: Bernfeld P. , Soto E. , Tso T. C. 
Published: June 2020

Twice daily exposure of 12–24 male inbred Syrian BIO 15.16 hamsters for 13 weeks to maximally tolerated doses of smoke from 12 types of investigational cigarettes under experimental conditions and with previously described instrumentation (Bernfeld et al., 1979) resulted in the following response: increased occurrence and aggregation of alveolar macrophages, increased occurrence of tracheal squamous metaplasia, and increased frequency and severity of laryngeal hyperplasia. The statistical significance of these changes was evaluated by means of loglinear models. The effect of varying the nicotine level in tobacco leaf between 0.2 and 1.5% caused no statistically significant changes in the subchronic response. Smoke from Bright tobacco with average tar yields of from 22.4 to 26.2 mg per cigarette caused significantly more alveolar macrophages and laryngeal hyperplasia but less tracheal squamous metaplasia than did smoke from Burley tobacco, with from 9.3 to 10.5 mg tar per cigarette. Deproteinization of tobacco did not change the response of the hamsters to the resulting smoke. Maleic hydrazide-field treatment of tobacco significantly reduced the alveolar macrophages, but spiking of tobacco with maleic hydrazide increased the response. Previous work had suggested that the tumorigenic response to cigarette smoke in chronic inhalation studies in hamsters may be predicted from subchronic inhalation studies in the same animal model (Bernfeld et al., 1983a). The present results then suggest that smoke from low-nicotine cigarettes is not less tumorigenic in the hamster than that from high-nicotine cigarettes, that smoke from high-tar Bright tobacco is more carcinogenic than that from low-tar Burley tobacco, that deproteinization of tobacco does not affect the tumorigenicity of the resulting smoke, and that maleic hydrazide-field treatment of tobacco does not increase the tumorigenicity of the resulting smoke, whereas spiking of tobacco with maleic hydrazide might do so.

OBJECTIVEThere is an unmet need to perform imaging in young children and obtain CT-equivalent cranial bone images without subjecting the patients to radiation. In this study, the authors propose using a high-resolution fast low-angle shot golden-angle 3D stack-of-stars radial volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (GA-VIBE) MRI sequence that is intrinsically robust to motion and has enhanced bone versus soft-tissue contrast.METHODSPatients younger than 11 years of age, who underwent clinical head CT scanning for craniosynostosis or other cranial malformations, were eligible for the study. 3D reconstructed images created from the GA-VIBE MRI sequence and the gold-standard CT scan were randomized and presented to 3 blinded reviewers. For all image sets, each reviewer noted the presence or absence of the 6 primary cranial sutures and recorded on 5-point Likert scales whether they recommended a second scan be performed.RESULTSEleven patients (median age 1.8 years) underwent MRI after clinical head CT scanning was performed. Five of the 11 patients were sedated. Three clinicians reviewed the images, and there were no cases, either with CT scans or MR images, in which a reviewer agreed a repeat scan was required for diagnosis or surgical planning. The reviewers reported clear imaging of the regions of interest on 99% of the CT reviews and 96% of the MRI reviews. With CT as the standard, the sensitivity and specificity of the GA-VIBE MRI sequence to detect suture closure were 97% and 96%, respectively (n = 198 sutures read).CONCLUSIONSThe 3D reconstructed images using the GA-VIBE sequence in comparison to the CT scans created clinically acceptable cranial images capable of detecting cranial sutures. Future directions include reducing the scan time, improving motion correction, and automating postprocessing for clinical utility.
Kryzys Kościoła jako kryzys wartości w niemieckim dyskursie teologiczno-socjologicznym
Authors: Zduniak Agnieszka 
Published: June 2020

Artykuł poświęcony jest przemianom następującym w sferze aksjonormatywnej, których skutkiem jest zmiana miejsca i roli Kościoła we współczesnym społeczeństwie, często określana mianem kryzysu. Autorka przedstawia najważniejsze wątki toczącej się od kilku dziesięcioleci w środowisku teologów i socjologów niemieckich dyskusji na temat możliwych przyczyn osłabienia społecznej pozycji instytucji Kościoła oraz sposobów radzenia sobie z tą sytuacją. Problemy Kościoła katolickiego w Niemczech są nieco inne niż w Polsce, jednak zbliżone kierunki przemian społeczno-kulturowych, w tym również tych zachodzących w sferze wartości, sprawiają, że Kościół w Polsce w przyszłości prawdopodobnie będzie musiał stawić czoła podobnym problemom. Potrzebne mogą okazać się pewne zmiany strukturalne oraz pastoralne, które mogłyby się przyczynić do wzrostu wiarygodności i skuteczności głoszenia Ewangelii współczesnemu człowiekowi.
