Sella Turcica Morphology in Patients With Genetic Syndromes: Protocol for a Systematic Review
Authors: Roomaney Imaan Amina , Chetty Manogari 
Published: October 2020

Background
The sella turcica is an important anatomical reference used in orthodontics and the evaluation of craniofacial growth. Studies have found an association between variations in sella turcica morphology in patients with certain syndromes affecting the craniofacial complex. It is hypothesized that each related syndrome or pathological condition is associated with a specific pattern of malformation of the sella turcica.

Objective
This study outlines the protocol for a systematic review that aims to determine if genetic syndromes involving the craniofacial complex are associated with abnormal radiographic sella turcica morphology and if there is a pattern of malformation that is consistent with each syndrome.

Methods
An electronic database search was conducted using a planned search strategy to identify relevant studies. We included primary studies evaluating the morphology of the sella turcica based on imaging from a lateral view. Specifically, only studies with postnatal human participants with genetic syndromes involving the craniofacial complex were included in this review. We placed no restrictions on the language or time frame of these studies.
Based on the search findings, studies were further screened for relevance and eligibility by two independent reviewers. Data were extracted from the selected studies. We assessed the selected studies for risk of bias and quality by using risk of bias tools from the Joanna Briggs Institute. We will provide a narrative synthesis of our findings and a structured summary based on prespecified themes.

Results
The protocol is registered with PROSPERO (#CRD42019148060) and approved by the University of Western Cape Biomedical Science Research Ethics Committee (BM205/3). The literature search was conducted in September 2019 and updated in July 2020. The study was completed in August 2020, and the findings will be published in an open-access journal.

Conclusions
The results of this systematic review are expected to provide a comprehensive list of morphological variations of the sella turcica, which will aid in the identification of syndromes associated with the craniofacial complex. We also expect to identify patterns of sella turcica morphology that highlight genotype-phenotype correlations, thus adding to the body of evidence relating to genetics and craniofacial malformations.

BODY FRAGMENTED - temporal expressions
Authors: Linnea Bågander  
Published: October 2020

In response to digital technology, new methods, thinking and aesthetics have emerged that challenge the way we design. In particular, the extraction of movement introduced by motion-capture technology propose a design process wherein the motion rather than the form is used as a material in a design process. In such a process the motion is extracted form a defined set of points that creates a digital representation. In this exposition, the strategies utilized when capturing a motion is translated into the process of garment making with the purpose to challenge bodily aesthetics through dress.
Practically, this exposition builds on two independent studies with the shared aim to define parameters for transformations of the moving body’s expression applied to a garment making process. Yet, the transformation is approached from two perspectives; the first study is non-material and borrows theory and references from the field of dance and motion capturing technology. It maps the body as a point-based system based on the body as a moving form and pin-points body functions that affect these points. This part serves as a foundation for the second study that adds material aspects, in particular, it maps material parameters that relate to how the material is arranged in relation to these points.

In conclusion, strategies of extraction of movement as attachments and the scale of fragmentation of materials are considered the main contribution to the garment making process. As it proposes a new usage of movement, the work has implications for fashion design, costume design but also other body movement-based mediums as it is about the expression of body movement and not just the body as a form.

Published: October 2020

As mídias sociais na internet tem um papel expressivo na vida das pessoas na era da transformação digital seja no compartilhamento de conteúdo, diversão e interações sociais. Ao mesmo tempo a dependência em casos extremos chega a gerar transtornos comportamentais como a nomofobia que é o medo irracional de ficar sem o smartphone ou ficar sem a possibilidade de usar o telefone por algum motivo, seja pela ausência de um sinal, carga da bateria ou o término do pacote de dados. Este estudo investigou determinantes para o uso (não) do Facebook e efeitos relacionados à vida social, utilizando um modelo conceitual com múltiplos construtos e variáveis. A pergunta norteadora da pesquisa é: “Como as vidas sociais das pessoas são afetadas por sua escolha de se tornar (não) usuário (do Facebook)?”. Os principais construtos do estudo quantitativo foram determinantes socioeconômicos e socioculturais, traços de personalidade, fatores comportamentais, fatores funcionais e fatores sociais.

Published: October 2020

AbstractIn enzootic areas the prevalence estimates of canine leishmaniosis are high whereas only a proportion of dogs exhibit the clinical disease, thus implying a role of host genetics. The type of the triggered immune response remains a crucial determining factor for the diverse outcome of this parasitosis. The Solute Carrier Family 11 member 1 (SLC11A1) is a protein, which plays a central role in macrophage function and is implicated in the regulation of the immune response. An extended study with 73 resistant and 75 susceptible toLeishmaniadogs was conducted. A fragment of the promoter region of the canine SLC11A1 gene was amplified and digested providing the different genotypes for three previously recorded single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (SNP1 T151C, SNP2 Α180G, SNP3 G318A) for each animal. Statistical analyses revealed that SNP2 Α180G in heterozygosity (AG) as well as SNP3 G318A in homozygosity (AA) are correlated with susceptibility to canine leishmaniosis.

Abstract
Fur animal breeding has a long history. In many countries several fur animal species (including the red fox) have been recognized as livestock. The aim of this study was to estimate the pedigree parameters in the population of red fox on a Polish breeding farm. The data set consisted of information on 39 434 individuals, including 18 697 females and 20 004 males (733 animals were of unknown sex), from the years 1956–2016. The following pedigree parameters were estimated: average number of discrete generation equivalents, individual inbreeding coefficient, total and effective number of founders, effective population size, average relationship, founder genome equivalent, effective number of non-founders, and genetic diversity coefficient. The population size changed in successive years. The average inbreeding level was 5.34% for the population as a whole, and 6.04% for the inbred population. The estimated effective number of founders of the population was 84.18. The founder genome equivalent, which indicates the anticipated loss of genetic diversity caused by genetic drift, reached 9.59 in 2016 from an initial value of 34.22 in 1956. The loss of genetic diversity caused by the unequal contribution of the founder alleles did not change significantly over the years. Generally, the results indicate the good pedigree structure (including pedigree completeness) of the population studied. This implies reliable estimation of the inbreeding level, as one of the most important parameters in the genetic improvement programme.
Microbial contamination of the air in livestock buildings as a threat to human and animal health – a review
Authors: Chmielowiec-Korzeniowska Anna , Trawińska Beata , Tymczyna Leszek , Bis-Wencel Hanna , Matuszewski Łukasz 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Livestock buildings are often contaminated with bacterial and fungal microflora. Animals living in the buildings, especially their excreta and secretions and their feed, can be a source of microorganisms, including pathogens. Significant microbial contamination occurs in pig houses, poultry houses and cowsheds. The microbes most frequently isolated from the air of these buildings are bacteria of the genera Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Bacillus, and Clostridium and of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Among fungi, the most common are Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Penicillium, Cladosporium and Alternaria. Microbes present in livestock buildings often pose a hazard to workers, in whom they can cause infectious and allergic diseases, especially respiratory disease. Bacterial endotoxins may also pose a threat to humans and animals. For this reason it is important to carry out microbiological monitoring and preventive measures on livestock farms and to maintain appropriate environmental conditions. This will reduce microbiological contamination of livestock buildings and improve both workers’ health and animal welfare.
Challenges of weed management in rice for food security in Africa: A review
Authors: Daramola Olumide Samuel , Adigun Joseph Aremu , Olorunmaiye Patience Mojibade 
Published: October 2020

AbstractRice is one of the most important crops for food security in Africa. However, there is a large gap between its present demand and supply. Weed competition is basically one of the major constraints in rice systems in Africa, leading to 48–100% yield reduction and sometimes complete crop failure, thereby threatening food security. Weed control methods currently employed to avoid such losses are predominantly hoe-weeding and herbicide application. Hoe weeding is tedious, inefficient, time consuming, associated with high labour demands and often too expensive for the average farmer to afford. Herbicide use on the other hand, does not provide season-long weed control. Moreover, there are not many herbicides that can control different kinds of weeds with one application. Thus, to optimise yield, financial, social and environmental costs and benefits, integrated and ecological weed management approaches are advocated. Future weed research should therefore be focused on delivering information for the implementation of these approaches. This would require improved knowledge of weed biology and ecology, prioritization of problematic weed species, development of competitive rice cultivars and timely weed control. To address the diversity of weed problems in rice systems in Africa, however, research innovations must take full account of farmer’s local conditions using farmers’ participatory approaches. This review suggests that knowledge-based integrated novel approaches must be developed to assist farmers in coping with the challenges of weed management for sustainable rice production.

Authors: Puszkarz Adam K. , Machnowski Waldemar 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
In this paper, the safety and thermal comfort of protective clothing used by firefighters was analyzed. Three-dimensional geometry and morphology models of real multilayer assemblies used in thermal protective clothing were mapped by selected Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. In the designed assembly models, different scales of the resolution were used for the particular layers – a homogenization for nonwoven fabrics model and designing the geometry of the individual yarns in the model of woven fabrics. Then, the finite volume method to simulate heat transfer through the assemblies caused by their exposure to the flame was applied. Finally, the simulation results with experimental measurements conducted according to the EN ISO 9151 were compared. Based on both the experimental and simulation results, parameters describing the tested clothing protective features directly affecting the firefighter’s safety were determined. As a result of the experiment and simulations, comparable values of these parameters were determined, which could show that used methods are an efficient tool in studying the thermal properties of multilayer protective clothing.
Cluster-Based Optimization of an Evacuation Process Using a Parallel Bi-Objective Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Akopov Andranik S. , Beklaryan Levon A. , Beklaryan Armen L. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
This work presents a novel approach to the design of a decision-making system for the cluster-based optimization of an evacuation process using a Parallel bi-objective Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm (P-RCGA). The algorithm is based on the dynamic interaction of distributed processes with individual characteristics that exchange the best potential decisions among themselves through a global population. Such an approach allows the HyperVolume performance metric (HV metric) as reflected in the quality of the subset of the Pareto optimal solutions to be improved. The results of P-RCGA were compared with other well-known multi-objective genetic algorithms (e.g., -MOEA, NSGA-II, SPEA2). Moreover, P-RCGA was aggregated with the developed simulation of the behavior of human agent-rescuers in emergency through the objective functions to optimize the main parameters of the evacuation process.
Key Generation Using Generalized Pell’s Equation in Public Key Cryptography Based on the Prime Fake Modulus Principle to Image Encryption and Its Security Analysis
Authors: Raghunandan K. R. , Ganesh Aithal , Surendra Shetty , Bhavya K. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
RSA is one among the most popular public key cryptographic algorithm for security systems. It is explored in the results that RSA is prone to factorization problem, since it is sharing common modulus and public key exponent. In this paper the concept of fake modulus and generalized Pell’s equation is used for enhancing the security of RSA. Using generalized Pell’s equation it is explored that public key exponent depends on several parameters, hence obtaining private key parameter itself is a big challenge. Fake modulus concept eliminates the distribution of common modulus, by replacing it with a prime integer, which will reduce the problem of factorization. It also emphasizes the algebraic cryptanalysis methods by exploring Fermat’s factorization, Wiener’s attack, and Trial and division attacks.
Robustness of HPHC Reduction for THS 2.2 Aerosol Compared with 3R4F Reference Cigarette Smoke Under High Intensity Puffing Conditions
Authors: Goujon Catherine , Kleinhans Samuel , Maeder Serge , Poget Laurent , Schaller Jean-Pierre 
Published: October 2020

Summary
In the absence of standards specific for testing the reduction robustness of the levels of harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs), the aerosol from the THS 2.2, a heated tobacco product, was compared with the mainstream smoke of the 3R4F reference cigarette over a broad range of machine-smoking regimes. The average reduction and the introduced concept of threshold limits of robust reduction were derived from HPHC concentrations, in mass per tobacco-stick normalized per total puff volume, to propose an alternative for the assessment of products where nicotine-adjusted yields would be inappropriate. In addition, this study explores the influence of 3R4F reference cigarette filter ventilation, and discusses the roles of temperature and precursors in the present context of robustness of HPHC reduction. Fifty-four HPHCs were analyzed under multiple regimes in THS 2.2 aerosol and 3R4F cigarette smoke. The average reduction of HPHC concentrations compared across all regimes characterized the robustness. Threshold limits of reduction of individual HPHCs were statistically determined across all regimes. The results observed under Health Canada Intense (HCI) and more intense regimes indicated that on average the reductions in HPHCs levels investigated in THS 2.2 aerosol were more than 90% and that the majority of the 54 HPHCs investigated in THS 2.2 aerosol showed more than 90% reduction. The robustness of THS 2.2 in maintaining the levels of reduction of representative HPHCs, whatever the puffing regime, can be quantified. The mass of HPHC per tobacco-stick normalized per total puff volume is a valuable approach to compare the robustness of the performance of a product over a large range of puffing conditions. Our findings will greatly complement the assessment for robustness of current and future similar products where classical approaches would present limitations.
Statistical Analysis for Comparison of the Results Obtained by Capillary Columns and Packed Columns in the Determination of Water Yield in Smoke Condensates Analyzed in Cigarettes for the 24th Asia Collaborative Study
Authors: Takahashi Hisayuki , Tanaka Masayasu 
Published: October 2020

Summary
Recently, capillary columns have been widely used in the methodology for the determination of water yields in smoke condensate, even though ISO 10362-1:1999, “Cigarettes - Determination of water in smoke condensates – Part 1: Gas chromatographic method” specifies a packed gas chromatographic column. As a result of a systematic review in 2015, ISO/TC126 decided to revise the standard to include the use of capillary columns.
The goal of this study was to confirm the comparability of water yields obtained from capillary column methodology to those yields from packed columns by the statistical analysis of yield data from the 24th Asia Collaborative Study which included 86 datasets submitted by 64 laboratories. After the exclusion of outliers by Cochran’s and Grubbs’ tests, the datasets were classified by GC column type and then mean water yields, and their repeatability and reproducibility were calculated for each type of column. No significant differences were observed in water yields between capillary and packed columns. Repeatability and reproducibility of water yields using capillary column were comparable to those using packed columns as described in ISO 10362-1:1999. From these results, it was confirmed that the capillary columns are an appropriate alternative to packed columns for the gas chromatographic procedure described in ISO 10362-1:1999.
Dynamics of Chlorine Content in Leaves of Woody Plants of Protection Forest Bands in the City of Zaporizhzhya

Published: October 2020

Abstract
As a result of the activity of industrial enterprises, atmospheric air is being contaminated by gaseous pollutants. Such substances as chlorine and hydrogen chloride are considered to be harmful for both humans and plants. Vegetation is a universal filter that is able to combat the environmental pollution by industrial emissions with the help of appropriate technical facilities. The aim of this study is to analyze the level of accumulation of chlorine in the leaves of woody plants that grow in the area of forest plantations of sanitary protection zones of industrial enterprises. The objects of the study were the species of woody plants in the area of protective plantations of a number of enterprises in Zaporizhzhya: ZTMC, ZALК, ZABR, Zaporizhstal, Zaporizhzhya Ferroalloy Plant, Zaporizhvohnetryv, Ukrgrafit and Zaporizhtransformator. We established that during the vegetation period, a gradual accumulation of the element was the most intense in mature leaves, whose growth had already ceased. The maximum amount of chlorine was found at the end of the vegetation period. The concentration of the pollutant in leaves of woody plants in the area of sanitary protection zones of industrial enterprises is linearly proportional to the level of emissions of the pollutant into the atmosphere by a given enterprise. The largest coefficient of relative accumulation of chlorine in the leaves of such plants as Catalpa bignonioides, Acer negundo, Robinia pseudoacacia, Juglans regia, Populus alba, which can be used as information sites for the purpose of bioindication of atmospheric air pollution with chlorides, was established.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Rural tourism offers opportunity to local communities to oppose the process of rural abandonment. This study assesses the tourism potential of two almost depopulated villages in Serbia, Gostuša (Pirot) and Poganovo (Dimitrovgrad), and identifies their second-home tourism perspectives. They have similar geo-demographic characteristics, but different development patterns. A practical understanding of residents’ perception was gained along with identifying the socio-economic indicators. A comprehensive comparison is made to identify the diversification level of the rural economy in these villages. The study also assesses the rural capital and concludes that it is not realistic to expect fast and sustainable tourism development in these peripheral rural areas. Finally, the study extracts the factors of influence and predicts trends of the diversification process and second-home tourism expansion in rural areas of Balkan Mt.
