Authors: Kianinia Mahsa , Abdoli Seyed Majid 
Published: July 2020

Background:Ethylene, propylene, and butylene as light olefins are the most important intermediates in the petrochemical industry worldwide. Methanol to olefins (MTO) process is a new technology based on catalytic cracking to produce ethylene and propylene from methanol.Aims and Objective:This study aims to simulate the process of producing ethylene from methanol by using Aspen HYSYS software from the initial design to the improved design.Methods:Ethylene is produced in a two-step reaction. In an equilibrium reactor, the methanol is converted to dimethyl ether by an equilibrium reaction. The conversion of the produced dimethyl ether to ethylene is done in a conversion reactor. Changes have been made to improve the conditions and get closer to the actual process design carried out in the industry. The plug flow reactor has been replaced by the equilibrium reactor, and the distillation column was employed to separate the dimethyl ether produced from the reactor.Results:The effect of the various parameters on the ethylene production was investigated. Eventually, ethylene is produced with a purity of 95.5 % in the improved design, and thermal integration was performed to minimize energy consumption.Conclusion:It was finally found according to the exothermic reaction of the dimethyl ether production, thermal integration in the process reduces the energy consumption in the heater and cooler.

Published: July 2020

Background:
Azo dyes are widely used recalcitrant chemicals and may promote environmental
hazards. Amongst the known azo dyes is CI Direct Red 28 (C32H22N6Na2O6S2) aka Congo Red
(CR), which is a known mutagen and carcinogen. In this regard, this work aimed at the biodegradation
of a CR-containing synthetic effluent, and the evaluation of the ecotoxicity of post-treatment residues.

Methods:
Lentinus sp. Laccase (Lac)-mediated bioremediation of CR was optimized upon added concentrations
of sucrose and CuSO4, moreover a standard ecotoxicity assay was performed.

Results:
Results showed that the addition of 5% sucrose and 2 mM CuSO4 increased CR degradation,
with Lac activity at 48 h of 30.2 U mL-1, and at 72 h of 31.9 U mL-1. Moreover, the ecotoxicity assay
showcased that CR degradation by Lentinus sp. Lac seemingly generated low ecotoxic byproducts.

Conclusion:
Given that CR bioremediation byproducts were known to exhibit high toxicity, our results
shed light on the use of Lentinus sp. catalytic arsenal to promote proper remediation of azo dyepolluted
effluents.

The Impact of Brexit on the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain of the United Kingdom: Scoping Review Protocol
Authors: Milne-Ives Madison , Lam Ching , van Velthoven Michelle , Meinert Edward 
Published: July 2020

Background
The continuing uncertainty around Brexit has caused concern in the pharmaceutical industry and among health care professionals and patients. The exact consequences of Brexit on the pharmaceutical supply chain in the United Kingdom will depend on whether a deal is reached and what it entails, but it is likely to be affected by the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. Regulatory issues and delays in supply have the potential to negatively affect the ability of UK residents to receive an adequate and timely supply of necessary medicines.

Objective
The purpose of this protocol is to provide an overview and critical analysis of current perspectives on the effect of Brexit on the UK pharmaceutical supply chain.

Methods
The PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines will be used to structure this protocol. A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Healthcare Management Information Consortium (HMIC), Cochrane, Web of Science, Business Source Complete, EconLit, and Economist Intelligence Unit will be conducted, as well as a Google and Nexis.UK search for grey literature such as reports, opinion pieces, and press releases. Two reviewers will independently screen the titles and abstracts of identified references and select studies according to the eligibility criteria. Any discrepancies will then be discussed and resolved. One reviewer will extract data from the included studies into a standardized form, which will be validated by a second reviewer. Risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias tool for any randomized controlled trials; quality will be assessed using the relevant Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklists; and grey literature will be assessed using the Authority, Accuracy, Coverage, Objectivity, Date, Significance (AACODS) checklist. Outcomes include the agreement between sources on the potential, likelihood, and severity of the consequences of Brexit on the UK pharmaceutical supply chain.

Results
Results will be included in the scoping review, which will be published in 2020.

Conclusions
This scoping review will summarize the currently expected consequences of Brexit on the UK pharmaceutical supply chain.

Psychometric Properties of the Korean Version of the PsyMate Scale Using a Smartphone App: Ecological Momentary Assessment Study
Authors: Yang Yong Sook , Ryu Gi Wook , Delespaul Philippe A E G , Choi Mona 
Published: July 2020

Background
Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a method for capturing the changes in the variables in daily life with increased accuracy and decreased recall bias. The PsyMate scale assesses momentary moods in daily life and can be used in various settings.

Objective
The aim of this study was to develop a Korean version of the PsyMate (K-PsyMate) scale and evaluate its psychometric properties by using the EMA method in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) in South Korea.

Methods
Patients with MMD aged over 18 years were recruited from July 2018 to January 2019 at the inpatient and outpatient departments of a university hospital in South Korea. The K-PsyMate scale comprising 13 items was developed following a translation/back translation approach of the English version and loaded onto a mobile app. Participants were instructed to enter their moods 4 times a day for 7 consecutive days. Content validity index, factor analysis, and Pearson’s correlation were performed for validity analysis. For reliability, intraclass correlation coefficients between the first and last measurements were estimated by mean rating, absolute agreement, and a 2-way mixed-effects model. Usability was analyzed through a descriptive analysis, 2-tailed t test, and analysis of variance, and the results were confirmed by Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test, as the dependent variable was not normally distributed.

Results
In total, 1929 assessments from 93 patients were analyzed. The mean age of the participants was 40.59 (SD 10.06) years, and 66 (71%) of the 93 participants were women. Content validity was excellent as content validity index was 0.99, and 2 factors, negative affect and positive affect, were derived by an exploratory factor analysis. The correlations between the subdomains of the K-PsyMate scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were significant (P<.001). The agreement between the first and last measurements was poor to moderate according to the obtained intraclass correlation coefficient values. Usability was evaluated by 67 (72%) out of the 93 participants. The participants rated the accuracy of assessing their momentary moods on the app at 4.13 (SD 0.97), easiness in understanding questions, operating, and inputting answers at 4.12 (SD 0.88), and interruption by the survey alarms at 2.48 (SD 1.02) out of 5.

Conclusions
The K-PsyMate scale has good validity but poor to moderate agreement, which reflects the characteristics of the EMA data collected in real and natural living environments without control. The findings of our study show that the K-PsyMate scale uploaded in a mobile app can be a valid and reliable tool for evaluating the momentary mood of patients with MMD because using a mobile app is convenient and patients are familiar with their own smartphones, which they use in their daily lives.
DA RECLUSÃO À DESATIVAÇÃO DO HOSPITAL COLÔNIA: A EXPERIÊNCIA VIVENCIADA PELOS HANSENIANOS DE MARITUBA
Authors: Bezerra Francisco Pinto , Nepomuceno Marcus Vinicius Azevedo , Barbosa Silvana Quadros 
Published: July 2020

A hanseníase é uma doença infecciosa crônica, maculada por insensibilidade e mancha na pele que, se evoluída, causa deformações nas extremidades dos dedos e na face. O preconceito contra os hansenianos de que poderiam contaminar os sadios resultou na construção dos hospitais colônias, gerando problema da cisão entre o paciente e o convívio familiar e social. O objetivo do artigo foi analisar a trajetória de reclusão, isolamento e de segregação social vivenciada pelos hansenianos, com enfoque nas estratégias adotadas pelos internos para superar as adversidades durante o período de internamento. A metodologia adotada foi a abordagem historiográfica, que permitiu realizar análise sobre a história dos hansenianos de Marituba, a partir da história oral narrada pelos sujeitos através do questionário, cujo discurso foi sustentado por autores que discutem a história na perspectiva das pessoas comuns. Os resultados revelam que os hansenianos foram capazes de reelaborar suas vidas, através de estratégias afetivas, a ponto de garantirem boa estadia durante a permanência na Colônia, indicando que os internos não tiveram o seu modo de vida interrompido. Conclui-se que as estratégias adotadas pelos hansenianos para superar as adversidades na Colônia foram: a interação, socialização, colaboração, organização, ajuda mútua e o compartilhamento de tarefas, enfim os laços de amizade e de solidariedade foram fundamentais para superar o confinamento, solidão e a revolta contra o sistema de tratamento coercitivo.

Trans-tornando las memorias posibles del género. Juegos y choques con el sistema sexo/género
Authors: Arias Cuéllar Ian 
Published: July 2020

A través de un ejercicio de rememoración de dos personas que transgreden el género que les fue socialmente asignado (mujer), un hombre trans y una persona trans no binaria, retomo elementos de sus trayectorias para, en diálogo con mi experiencia, evidenciar la articulación entre memorias e identidad como puentes entre un pasado, un presente y un futuro en ruptura simbólica y social permanente. Hacer inteligible estas experiencias íntimas, que desde la perspectiva de la matriz cultural del género son incoherentes, contribuye a la comprensión que tenemos de lo trans, del funcionamiento del género y sus memorias asociadas.

Authors: H. Saeed Maan 
Published: July 2020

The masonry wall building systems have high sensitivity against earthquakes and the fact that this system of construction is widespread in Iraq, especially condominiums. Iraq subjected to many earthquakes in recent years and is expected to be subjected to more intensities of earthquakes in the future engendered an urgent need to investigate the behavior of this type of construction under the influence of earthquakes. The analysis of two-storey house in this research paper was performed by the finite element package program ABAQUS. Model simulation with dimensions (5 * 20 m) from the common one and two-storey house models in Iraq. The compressive strength of bricks (17MPa) type A and compressive strength of mortar(15MPa) with mixing ratio 1:3 was used to represented of the properties of construction materials in Iraq. The nonlinearity behavior of the materials is considered in this research paper. The model is subjected to PGA(0.5g) from EL-Centro Earthquake (1940 N-S ) as input ground motion to determine its seismic performance compared the maximum displacement, drift and base shear for models with the seismic demand of Iraq. Through the analysis of the results, the models proved efficient and stable against the effect of earthquakes, especially when the load applied in the Z long direction, more than the load applied in the X short direction for all models

The Role of Global Platforms in Advancing Digital Transformation: Competence and Innovation Aspects
Authors: Danilin I. V. , Mamedyarov Z. A. 
Published: July 2020

In the last decade, the foundations of the digital economy have been formed with Internet platforms becoming its largest and most important segment. According to the authors, one of the key problems associated with the development of the digital economy and of Internet platforms is the diffusion of existing and generation of the new competencies. This is important both for platform users and partner companies. The article analyzes the role of platforms in this process and highlights the main channels for competence diffusion. Firstly, individual and, secondly, institutional dimensions of these processes are defined. In the first case, the authors elaborate on the ways of developing user competencies - both basic and specialized. In the second case, the article focuses on the distribution of organizational and institutional competencies, and best practices among partner companies and participants in corporate ecosystems of platforms. For the partners the primary conditions for acquiring new competencies depend, firstly, on a system of organizational and economic requirements of the platforms. Secondly — on specific digital interfaces. Growth and improvement of services, technology, dynamics and principles of platform market organization provide formation and diffusion of more complex economic and technical competences of digital economy. It is shown that a new powerful source of development and transfer of promising technological and economic competences within the extended platform ecosystems is also being formed. The scope of operations of modern digital platforms, their composition, engagement of all key groups of actors in the innovation processes (including consumers) create unique opportunities for further development of this area.
Addressed Blame and Hostility
Authors: De Mesel Benjamin 
Published: July 2020

Bagley (2017) sets out a dilemma for addressed blame, that is, blame addressed to its targets as an implicit demand for recognition. The dilemma arises when we ask whether offenders would actually appreciate this demand, via a sound deliberative route from their existing motivations. If they would, their offense reflects a deliberative mistake. If they wouldn't, addressing them is futile, and blame's emotional engagement seems unwarranted. Bagley wants to resolve the dilemma in such a way that addressed blame's distinctive elements of hostility and emotional engagement can be accounted for. I argue that Bagley's focus on the proleptic character of addressed blame helps to avoid the dilemma, but that Bagley has difficulties accounting for the element of hostility in addressed blame. I suggest that an alternative account of addressed blame (1) makes better sense of Bagley's paradigm example, (2) avoids Bagley's dilemma in the way Bagley's original solution does, because it preserves addressed blame's proleptic character, and (3) can account for addressed blame's elements of emotional engagement and hostility. .

Published: July 2020

Under the conditions of the Right Bank of the Saratov Region, the effect of four herbicides, two new tank mixtures and two new compositions of herbicides on the value and variability of the following indicators of soybeans: “grain yield”, “number of beans from a plant”, “the number of grains per plant", "the mass of 1000 grains", "the protein content in the grain” was studied in three field experiments using two-way variance and correlation analysis. The relationships between grain yield and elements of its structure, grain yield and protein content in grain are studied. All studied variants after application of herbicides significantly exceeded the control variant in grain yield. Options with the use of a new tank mixture of frontier optima + gezagard herbicides, frontier optima + galaxy top herbicidal compositions, hezagard + galaxy top herbicide compositions significantly exceeded the grain yield after application of herbicides. This led to a decrease in the variability of the studied indicators and changed the nature of the correlation dependence of grain productivity with other economically useful indicators of soybeans. The specific effect of the application of individual herbicides, their tank mixtures and compositions on the variability and interconnection of economically useful indicators of soybeans has been established.
