Acrylamide-Induced Prenatal Programming of Bone Structure in Mammal Model
Authors: Tomaszewska Ewa , Dobrowolski Piotr , Puzio Iwona , Donaldson Janine , Muszyński Siemowit 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Acrylamide (AA) is a chemical substance with a potentially carcinogenic effect. Its presence in food or animal food arises from its thermal processing. The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of AA exposure (3.0 mg/kg. b.w./day) of pregnant dams during the second half of the pregnancy on bone development in offspring. As an model animal, guinea pig was used. While term body weight of newborns was not influenced by maternal AA treatment, shorter bones with reduced bone diaphysis cross-sectional area were observed in experimental group. Numerous negative, offspring sex-dependent effects of maternal AA exposure were observed in femoral epiphysis and metaphysis as well as the articular and growth plate cartilages. These effects resulted from the AA-induced alterations in bone metabolism, as indicated by the changes in the expression of numerous proteins involved in bone development: receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), all of whose expression was measured as well as distribution of immature collagen fibres was determined. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the exposure of pregnant dams to AA negatively affected the structure of compact bone in bone diaphysis, microarchitecture of trabecular bone in metaphysis and epiphysis as well as the structure of the articular and growth plate cartilages in their offspring. The AA-induced bone impairment increased osteoclast differentiation, as observed through the change in the RANKL/OPG ratio, which in turn inhibited osteoblast function by decreasing the expression of other proteins. The data of the present study suggests that maternal AA exposure can result in insufficient bone gain and even bone loss after the birth.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to establish the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the regulation of steroidogenesis in the placenta during physiological pregnancy and experimental preeclampsia (PE) in rats. EPR centers of the placenta, free NO and its metabolites were determined by the Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) method. At the last stage of pregnancy in the EPR spectra of the rats’ placenta with PE alterations of the signals intensity of mitochondrial steroidogenic electron transport proteins were detected: the FeS-centers of adrenodoxin decreased, the ferricytochrome P-450 increased, the free NO content decreased, and the complexes of NO with heme (HbNO) and non-heme iron (FeSNO) were detected. These data indicate the violation of placental steroidogenesis, which is confirmed by a decrease in the level of progesterone in blood. Therefore, the nitrosylation of mitochondrial proteins is an important redox-dependent mechanism of regulation of the intensity of steroidogenesis.
SI: Chalmers on Virtual Reality Introduction
Authors: Santos Ricardo , Yates David 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
In June 2016, David Chalmers delivered the Petrus Hispanus Lectures at the LanCog research group, University of Lisbon, on the subject of objects, properties, and perception in virtual reality environments. The paper resulting from these lectures was subsequently published in Disputatio as “The Virtual and the Real” (vol. IX, 2017, No. 46, pp. 309–52). In it, Chalmers defends virtual realism, according to which virtual objects are bona fide digital objects with virtual counterparts of perceptible properties such as colour and shape, and perception in virtual reality environments is typically veridical rather than illusory. This special issue collects responses to Chalmers due to Claus Beisbart, Jesper Juul, Peter Ludlow, Neil McDonnell and Nathan Wildman, Alyssa Ney, Eric Schwitzgebel, and Marc Silcox; together with a detailed response by Chalmers to each paper.

Stability analysis for first-order nonlinear differential equations with three-point boundary conditions
Authors: Ismayilova Kamala E. 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
In the present paper, we study a system of nonlinear differential equations with three-point boundary conditions. The given original problem is reduced to the equivalent integral equations using Green function. Several theorems are proved concerning the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the boundary value problems for the first order nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations with three-point boundary conditions. The uniqueness theorem is proved by Banach fixed point principle, and the existence theorem is based on Schafer’s theorem. Then, we describe different types of Ulam stability: Ulam-Hyers stability, generalized Ulam-Hyers stability. We discuss the stability results providing suitable example.

Selected Tools Increasing Human Reliability in the Antropotechnical System
Authors: Bednarek Marcin , Dąbrowski Tadeusz 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Distributed control systems (DCS) consist of process stations, operator stations, engineering stations and other elements, which all enable the exchange of data between industrial systems. Process stations are industrial controllers. They manage process control. Operator stations are used for visualisation and operator interactions. Engineering stations are designed for configuration, programming and executing control and visualisation software. Elements of the DCS system are connected by an industrial network. DCS must be properly designed, commissioned, used and operated. There is a human factor in each of these phases of the system’s existence. The article discusses software tools that increase human reliability in such a system, made in the visualisation package, i.e. the graphic environment used to visualize the process at the operator’s station.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
For achieving the good health and wellbeing for all children, the main role of pediatrician and other health care professionals is to follow their development.
We implemented developmental monitoring for 465 children at the age of 12 - 60 months, in the period of 4 years (2016 - 2019), using standard algorithm in which start is always with child history. It should be comprehensive, and must include a detailed prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal history.
Obtained results showed that 16.13% of participants have some serious illness in family history, and the same percentage (16.13%) manifested serious perinatal problems which imposed the support in intensive care unit. Breastfeed are 49,46 % of children. Only 7,53 % are not completely vaccinated.
About the parameters for the development, we obtained that 11,83 % were not walking at the time of the assessment, and 65,81 % were not speaking. Toilet control was negative, and in 75,27 % they still were wearing diapers.
Allergic manifestations at the time when the assessment was done is present in 8,60%. Finally, serious illness in child past history was positive in 19.35 % of evaluated sample.
We concluded that a good history is needed and indispensable in the assessment process, particularly when exogenous causes are identified as the risk for the developmental delay. Obtained positive answers are directory for further investigation as well to correlate risk-consequences relationship.

Abstract

Aim:To determine whether there is an immunogenic connection and antigen difference between the HLA antigens in the erosive (EOLP) and reticular (ROLP) oral lichen planus.

Materials and Method: 73 patients with ROLP and EOLP have been tested. Typing of the HLA antigens has been made for locus A and B. The typing of the HLA was conducted with the use of microlymphocyto toxic test by Terasaki. The reading of the findings has been conducted with an inverse microscope. When a reaction has 4 points it is considered to be positive.

Results: The most frequently typified antigens in ROLP from locus A are HLA А2 (57.57%) and А3 (33.33)%, and for locus B 21.21%. In EOLP it is А9 (8888%). In locus B a connection has been found with HLA B8 (77.77%). The statistical analysis with the ×2 test has shown that the carriers of HLA A9 display a relative risk (RR) of 3.65 and ×2=20.72. Consequently, there is high static importance for locus A p<0,001. For locus B, In EOLP for HLA B8, RR=6. 7 ×2=37.64 and p<0,001. ROLP has shown association with HLA A3, where RR=2. 31 and ×2 =9.14 and p<0.05.

Conclusions: In ROLP A3 antigen and in EOLP A9 and A8 may be considered as carriers with proneness to OLP.

Differential outcomes, schizotypy, and improvement of the recognition of emotional facial expressions: a preliminary study
Authors: González-Rodríguez Antonio , Godoy-Giménez Marta , Cañadas Fernando , Sayans-Jiménez Pablo , Estévez Angeles F. 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Schizotypy is defined as a combination of traits qualitatively similar to those found in schizophrenia, though in a minor severity, that can be found in the nonclinical population. Some studies suggest that people with schizotypal traits have problems recognising emotional facial expressions. In this research, we further explore this issue and we investigate, for the first time, whether the differential outcomes procedure (DOP) may improve the recognition of emotional facial expressions. Participants in our study were students that completed the ESQUIZO-Q-A and were set in two groups, high schizotypy (HS) and low schizotypy (LS). Then, they performed a task in which they had to recognise the emotional facial expression of a set of faces. Participants of the HS group and the LS group did not differ in their performance. Importantly, all participants showed better recognition of emotional facial expressions when they were trained with differential outcomes. This novel finding might be relevant for clinical practice since the DOP is shown as a tool that may improve the recognition of emotional facial expressions.
Removal of a General – The Rebirth of a Latent Conflict Between Two Sovereign States: USA and Iran
Authors: Chiş-Manolache Diana , Chiş Ciprian 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Generally speaking, the relations between different states of the world, but especially between the states that represent world powers or have a certain type of arsenal, are able to influence the stability and the state of calmness from a certain region of the world, but also the notion of peace at the globally level. The 2020 year began with such a situation, in the sense that United States of America and Iran, which have been for a long period in relations not among the most well, have arrived at a moment that could represent, to a very large extent, the starting point of a conflict that will enter in the world history. The elimination of a very important Iranian general by US troops in early January 2020, by a surprise attack amonk Iraqian teritory, markedly aggravated relations between the United States of America and Iran, but also between the great world power and Iraq or other major global players who have harshly criticized the US attack.
Deconvolution of Gamma Ray Spectra Using Singular Value Decomposition of Matrices
Authors: Hanka Laszlo 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The process of identification of radioactive isotopes using gamma ray spectrum produced by scintillation detectors is a fundamental problem in physics. Military applications also require fast and efficient methods, especially in field conditions, for identifying unknown isotopes. The fundamental problem is the relationship between the observed gamma ray spectrum given by the detector and the real spectrum. This problem can be treated as a mathematical problem. The relationship between the real and the observed spectrum can be described by a linear algebraic equation system. In the previous article Cholesky-decomposition has been applied. In this article one more independent mathematical tool is proposed to solve the linear system efficiently.
GPS Characterization in Cyberspace Between Vulnerability and Geo-Encryption: Impact on GBAS Landing System (GLS)
Authors: Alhosban Ahmad 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
In the cyberterrorism concept, whoever was the type of terrorist group: Religious, Ethno-nationalist separatist, Revolutionary, and Far-right extremist, the most efficient deterrence solution locates in the end-user’s protection and hardening. In the cyberterrorism activities, either disruptive and/or destructive, people tend to be the softest link in security chain. Therefore, the threat source would be less important compared with the way of protection. Many efforts have been performed in strengthening the farend-recipients’ infrastructure of communications and critical information systems. Amongst, is the Geo-Encryption Cryptographic Algorithm. It depends on adding a new layer of security by using the most vulnerable signals to cyber-attacks, which is the GPS signals. Hence, its strength came out from its weakness. The Geo-encryption technique assumes the use of anti-jam and anti-spoof GPS receivers, which without, the model would be of no added value to the end-users’ security. In this study, an assessment of the model performance among vulnerability challenges is conducted, showing the characterization of the GPS tool in such model being a solution while it is simultaneously a vulnerable target. A special focus was put in the GBAS Landing System (GLS) performance, in both military and civilian aviation aspect.
Model experiments to assess effect of cavities on bearing capacity of two interfering superficial foundations resting on granular soil
Authors: Saadi Djamel , Abbeche Khelifa , Boufarh Rafik 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to describe the effect of cavities on the bearing capacity of two interfering footings based on granular soil using an exclusively experimental approach with a test model designed in the laboratory. The experimental protocol was carried out based on the variation of several parameters such as the spacing (x) (axis to axis) between the footings, and the distance (H) between the footings and cavities and between the cavities axes (L). The results highlight the effect of cavities and the interference of two strip footings on the bearing capacity factor (q) and efficiency factor (EF). Moreover, the results revealed that, in the case wherein the distance between the footings and the cavity is greater than 3, the cavity impact is eliminated.
Slovak ‘no’ and its pragmatic meanings and functions in relation to prosody
Authors: Mareková Lucia , Beňuš Štefan 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
This paper examines the contributions of lexical context and prosody on the perception of the Slovak particle ‘no’, [nɔ] in IPA. The functional meanings of this discourse marker are similar to those of ‘okay’ in English. Based on a literature review, we expected that the presence of the prosodic cues is not sufficient for decoding the functional meanings. We also explored how biological sex and age affected the perception of ‘no’. We found that both - context and prosody - to a great extent influence the disambiguation of ‘no’, but context provides better information about the function of Slovak ‘no’. Additionally, females and younger adults, compared with males and middle-aged adults, were more sensitive to the cues provided by context than by prosody alone.
A further argument for a syncretic analysis of DOM and dative in Spanish
Authors: Pérez Carlos Muñoz 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThis paper offers an argument to analyse the Spanish form /a/ as a syncretic case marker for accusative differential object marking (dom) and dative. The literature on free relative clauses has established that syncretism allows the repair of feature mismatches arising from contradictory selectional requirements between the matrix and the embedded predicates. By combining clitic left dislocation constructions (CLLD) and free relatives, it is shown here thatdomand dative grant the same repairing effect in Spanish, so it follows that they must be syncretic categories. The same type of configuration distinguishes the directional prepositionaand the dative case marker, which is taken to indicate that these elements are mere homophones in the language. Furthermore, an analysis of the repairing effect of syncretism is offered.
