Improved Genome Assembly and Annotation of the Soybean Aphid (Aphis glycinesMatsumura)
Authors: Mathers Thomas C 
Published: January 2020

AbstractAphids are an economically important insect group due to their role as plant disease vectors. Despite this economic impact, genomic resources have only been generated for a small number of aphid species. The soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura) was the third aphid species to have its genome sequenced and the first to use long-read sequence data. However, version 1 of the soybean aphid genome assembly has low contiguity (contig N50 = 57 Kb, scaffold N50 = 174 Kb), poor representation of conserved genes and the presence of genomic scaffolds likely derived from parasitoid wasp contamination. Here, I use recently developed methods to reassemble the soybean aphid genome. The version 2 genome assembly is highly contiguous, containing half of the genome in only 40 scaffolds (contig N50 = 2.00 Mb, scaffold N50 = 2.51 Mb) and contains 11% more conserved single-copy arthropod genes than version 1. To demonstrate the utility of this improved assembly, I identify a region of conserved synteny between aphids and Drosophila containing members of the Osiris gene family that was split over multiple scaffolds in the original assembly. The improved genome assembly and annotation of A. glycines demonstrates the benefit of applying new methods to old data sets and will provide a useful resource for future comparative genome analysis of aphids.

High prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux in vocal opera students. A case-control type study
Authors: Corojan Loor Alexandra , Nedelecuț Sebastian , Dumitrașcu Dan Lucian 
Published: January 2020

Background. Opera singers are at risk to develop gastroesophageal reflux, because of the vocational challenges during singing. The singers are reluctant to be submitted to pH-metry fearing throat injuries. We evaluated the gastroesophageal reflux in vocal opera students using
a non-invasive salivary test.
Design and setting. A prospective, case-control study was carried out in 30 vocal opera students from the Music Academy of the city Cluj-Napoca, Romania, enrolled in the “canto” section.
Methods. For control, 20 medical students and residents were enrolled. Each subject filled in a questionnaire and gave saliva samples for the salivary test Peptest™ (RD Biomed). The statistical analysis was made using program R version 3.2.1 (2015-06-18).
Results. According to salivary Peptest, vocal opera students had a higher prevalence of gastro-esophageal reflux than the control group (96.67% versus 30%; 29 from 30 vs 14 from 20), P <0.001. Only 50% (15 of 30) of the vocal opera students reported reflux symptoms.
Conclusions. Salivary Peptest confirmed a higher prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux in vocal opera students, although not all of them reported reflux symptoms.

diagrams to ease the orthodontic diagnosis and treatment of North-American patients. Subsequently, the system was adapted by different authors to other races and populations. The objective of this study is to provide a system of Moorrees-like mesh diagrams for the Romanian population, Caucasian race, which would help orthodontists, surgeons and prosthetists.
Methods. 40 patients were introduced in the study, 20 males and 20 females, with ages between 12-33 years, permanent dentition and slight dental-maxillary abnormalities, class I and II Angle. For each patient, a lateral cephalometric radiograph was taken, with CRANEX 3D, head straight, maximum intercuspation. On tracing paper were drawn 35 anthropometric points and 3 planes, Frankfurt plane, as the horizontal landmark, a perpendicular line through nasion as the vertical landmark and the occlusal plane. From each point we measured the distance in millimeters to the horizontal landmark and to the vertical landmark, respectively. The obtained values were introduced into 40 tables, using Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and 3 arithmetic means were calculated, for males, for females and a general one, for children under 12 years old. The arithmetic means were transferred on millimetric paper and tracing paper, joining the obtained points and completing the templates.
Results. Three different Moorrees-like mesh diagrams were obtained, one for male, one for female and a mixt one for children under 12 years, Romanian patients, Caucasian race, respectively.
Conclusions. Mesh diagram comes in the support of a better perspective of the anatomical elements of the face and the facial growth, being a useful tool in predicting treatment. Computer based programs with Moorrees-like diagrams adapted to Romanian patients may be the object of further studies.

Published: January 2020

OBJECTIVES:The Pediatric Transition Experience Measure (P-TEM) is an 8-item, parent-reported measure that globally assesses hospital-to-home transition quality from discharge through follow-up. Our goal was to examine the convergent validity of the P-TEM with existing, validated process and outcome measures of pediatric hospital-to-home transitions.METHODS:This was a prospective, cohort study of English-speaking parents and legal guardians who completed the P-TEM after their children’s discharge from a tertiary children’s hospital between January 2016 and October 2016. By using data from 3 surveys, we assessed convergent validity by examining associations between total and domain-specific P-TEM scores (0–100 scale) and 4 pediatric hospital-to-home transition validation measures: (1) Child Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Discharge Composite, (2) Center of Excellence on Quality of Care Measures for Children With Complex Needs parent-reported transition measures, (3) change in health-related quality of life from admission to postdischarge, and (4) 30-day emergency department revisits or readmissions.RESULTS:P-TEM total scores were 7.5 points (95% confidence interval: 4.6 to 10.4) higher for participants with top-box responses on the Child Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Discharge Composite compared with those of participants with lower Discharge Composite scores. Participants with highet P-TEM scores (ie, top-box responses) had 6.3-points–greater improvement (95% confidence interval: 2.8 to 9.8) in health-related quality of life compared with participants who reported lower P-TEM scores. P-TEM scores were not significantly associated with 7- or 30-day reuse.CONCLUSIONS:The P-TEM demonstrated convergent validity with existing hospital-to-home process and outcome validation measures in a population of hospitalized children.

Published: January 2020

Los prêmios, primera novela de Julio Cortázar, introduce el tema del juego como búsqueda metafísica que el autor desarolla en más detalle en su novela más famosa, Rayuela. También la técnica narrativa que Cortázar usa en Los premios muestra el descontento del autor hacia los métodos estilísticos de la novela realística y anuncia los cambios más radicales en el estilo narrativo que el autor va a usar en su obra posterior. Por eso, el análisis detallado del tema y estilo narrativo de Los premios que se presenta en este trabajo es necesario para entender bien la trayectoria de la obra completa de Cortázar.
LOS INDIOS TUKÚNA Y EL MOVIMIENTO DE SANTA CRUZ
Authors: Oro Ari Pedro 
Published: January 2020

De vez en cuando, manifestaciones mesiánicas surgen entre los indios Tukúna del Alto Solimones, en un evidente proceso de reacción a la situación de dependencia de los blancos. En este momento, los Tukúna se encuentran de nuevo en plena actividad mesiánica. Esta vez, incluso, identificando el redentor esperado con la figura carismática de un blanco- que se juzga enviado por Dios y fundador de una nueva religión: el Movimiento de Santa Cruz- depositando en él una total esperanza de salvación. Además, analizando el significado actual del Movimiento de Santa Cruz para los Tukúna, se concluye que éste se presenta como el fundamento de la identidad étnica Tukúna, constituyéndose, igualemente, en el último recurso utilizado por un Pueblo que no quiere morir.
High-density micro- and nanogranular ceramics. Transition of open pores to closed ones. Part 1. Preparation of powder, molding material, molding
Authors: Belyakov A. V. 
Published: January 2020

An explanation of the processes that occur when producing high-density micro- and nanogranular ceramics without the use of external pressure is proposed on the basis of data accumulated in the literature. It is known that pore growth begins after the beginning of the transition of open pores to closed ones, which begins at about 30 % open porosity. It is necessary to maintain open pores to the maximum possible total density of sintered ceramics. This can be achieved by slowing down the formation of areas of local compaction (unequal density of samples) by various methods. Preservation of open pores is facilitated by such a decrease in the rate of shrinkage at which a self-consistent compaction of the local seals and the less dense zones surrounding them is realized. Such a regime can be implemented in different ways: by reducing the activity of powder particles (preliminary heat treatment of the powder, preliminary low-temperature sintering ― presintering), the use of additives that slow down shrinkage (obtaining transparent ceramics without external pressure), at the stages of preparing the molding material, molding blanks, removing the binder by adjusting the heating rate of the sample (sintering with an adjustable rate of shrinkage), prolonged sintering at a relatively low temperature in 2-stage sintering. This is part 1 of a series of 3 articles. Ref. 61.
Travel burden and dentist bypass among dentally insured children
Authors: McKernan Susan C , Pooley Mark J , Momany Elizabeth T , Kuthy Raymond A 
Published: January 2020

<p>OBJECTIVES: Using administrative data from Iowa Medicaid and a large private dental insurer, we compared distance to the nearest primary care dentist for children ages 6-15 in 2012. Additionally, we examined rates of provider bypass in both populations as an indicator of spatial accessibility to dental care.</p>
<p>METHODS: We calculated measures of travel burden, including distance to the nearest primary care dentist and distance to current primary care dentist. Distance outcomes and rates of bypass, traveling beyond the nearest dentist for care, were compared by insurance type.</p>
<p>RESULTS: We found that Medicaid-enrolled children lived farther from the nearest dentist and farther from their current dentist than privately insured children. However, rates of bypass were higher among the privately insured population. These results were consistent among urban and rural residents; additionally, both rural populations demonstrated greater travel distances than urban dwellers.</p>
<p>CONCLUSIONS: Travel burden was greater among Medicaid-enrolled children. Lower rates of bypass, in conjunction with lower rates of dental utilization in this population, may indicate a distance threshold beyond which dental care becomes unattainable.</p>

Neste trabalho propõe-se uma análise comparatista entre as versões da estória de Merlin da Península Ibérica. Devido a algumas particularidades textuais, as versões conhecidas até hoje foram situadas em ramos distintos do stemma codicum da obra. Os instrumentos da nossa análise são os textos derivados do processo de tradução, o galego-português (ms. 2434, BC) e os espanhóis (Salamanca, 1469; Burgos, 1498; Sevilha, 1535), em paralelo com os correspondentes franceses (ed. A. Micha, ed. O. Sommer, ed. G. Paris & J. Ulrich, ed. G. Roussineau). Dado o carácter fragmentário materialmente e/ou textualmente tanto nas versões francesas, como nas ibéricas, esta análise basear-se-á somente nas narrativas comuns. Observar-se-ão, assim, algumas peculiaridades textuais resultantes do acto de tradução, no sentido de estudar as técnicas de tradução utilizadas e as circunstâncias que as determinam, tendo, ao mesmo tempo, em mente os parâmetros da distância temporal que separam os testemunhos e/ou os meios de transmissão (manuscrita, por um lado, e impressa, por outro).
