Recruiting students for the COVID-19 emergency response: lessons from eight African countries
Authors: Mkenda Vera , Woolhouse Mark , Mutapi Francisca , Banda Geoffrey 
Published: September 2020

Background: This paper examines how African countries can innovatively use pre-qualified undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as retired clinical, laboratory and epidemiological technocrats in dealing with medical emergency situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: An online questionnaire was sent to key informants in six universities and two research institutions working with the Tackling Infections to Benefit Africa (TIBA) program eight African countries. The return rate was 88.9% and data was analysed using the framework method. Results: Students and other personnel trained in the medical and health professions are a valuable resource that can be mobilised by African governments during medical emergency situations. These are found in research, academia, non-governmental organisations, and government. However, without clear plans and mechanisms for recruiting, supervising and remunerating or reimbursing the costs of engaging someone not employed by the government, the legitimation and authority for such recruitment becomes a challenge. Currently, postgraduate students in the biomedical sciences are the most preferred because of their level of experience and exposure to medical techniques. They also have a degree certificate, which serves as a quality and competence assurance tool. Engagement of postgraduate medical students undergoing their residence programmes also seems a lot easier. While on the other hand, undergraduate students, who are the majority, are considered underexposed and with low technological capabilities. They also lack certificates needed to ensure competence, although we argue that not all tasks during pandemics require specialized skills. Conclusion: As a step towards strengthening national disaster preparedness capacities, African governments need to develop plans that clarify protocols for engaging, training, supervising and protecting students, especially undergraduates and those taking non-biomedical courses. Such plans may form part of the National Pandemic Response Plan, while considering both specialised and non-specialized roles of emergency response.
A case series analysing patients with dental anxiety: a patient-centered model based on psychological profiling
Authors: Tizzoni Riccardo , Veneroni Laura , D'Aloia Alfonso , Tizzoni Marta , Clerici Carlo Alfredo 
Published: September 2020

Anxiety and distress can jeopardize dental care experience of patients and may affect the clinical result. Although a wide range of sedation and analgesia techniques are currently available to relieve distress and pain during dental procedures, operative models to choose the most effective sedation-analgesic strategies are still insufficient. This case series proposes a patient-centered model to optimize patients’ cooperation during dental care delivery. We describe how to achieve correct anaesthesia by using the least sedative procedure, accounting for the dental procedure needed and patient’s psychological profile. Five patients were considered as paradigmatic to show the balance between patients’ subjective experiences and the clinical procedures: a patient with low stress, good compliance (case 1); a patient with moderate stress and reduction in compliance (case 2); anxious patient (case 3); a patient with acute anxiety and emotional distress (case 4); anguished patient (case 5). A multimodal treatment of emotional and behavioural condition and a patient-centered model approach contributed to achieve the best patient satisfaction in the five cases detailed here.
Biocuration - mapping resources and needs
Authors: Holinski Alexandra , Burke Melissa L. , Morgan Sarah L. , McQuilton Peter , Palagi Patricia M. 
Published: September 2020

Background: Biocuration involves a variety of teams and individuals across the globe. However, they may not self-identify as biocurators, as they may be unaware of biocuration as a career path or because biocuration is only part of their role. The lack of a clear, up-to-date profile of biocuration creates challenges for organisations like ELIXIR, the ISB and GOBLET to systematically support biocurators and for biocurators themselves to develop their own careers. Therefore, the ELIXIR Training Platform launched an Implementation Study in order to i) identify communities of biocurators, ii) map the type of curation work being done, iii) assess biocuration training, and iv) draw a picture of biocuration career development. Methods: To achieve the goals of the study, we carried out a global survey on the nature of biocuration work, the tools and resources that are used, training that has been received and additional training needs. To examine these topics in more detail we ran workshop-based discussions at ISB Biocuration Conference 2019 and the ELIXIR All Hands Meeting 2019. We also had guided conversations with selected people from the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute. Results: The study illustrates that biocurators have diverse job titles, are highly skilled, perform a variety of activities and use a wide range of tools and resources. The study emphasises the need for training in programming and coding skills, but also highlights the difficulties curators face in terms of career development and community building. Conclusion: Biocurators themselves, as well as organisations like ELIXIR, GOBLET and ISB must work together towards structural change to overcome these difficulties. In this article we discuss recommendations to ensure that biocuration as a role is visible and valued, thereby helping biocurators to proceed with their career.

Published: September 2020

Background:The COVID-19 pandemic has caused morbidity and mortality, as well as, widespread disruption to people’s lives and livelihoods around the world. Given the health and economic threats posed by the pandemic to the global community, there are concerns that rates of suicide and suicidal behaviour may rise during and in its aftermath. Our living systematic review (LSR) focuses on suicide prevention in relation to COVID-19, with this iteration synthesising relevant evidence up to June 7th2020.Method: Automated daily searches feed into a web-based database with screening and data extraction functionalities. Eligibility criteria include incidence/prevalence of suicidal behaviour, exposure-outcome relationships and effects of interventions in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. Outcomes of interest are suicide, self-harm or attempted suicide and suicidal thoughts. No restrictions are placed on language or study type, except for single-person case reports.Results:Searches identified 2070 articles, 29 (28 studies) met our inclusion criteria, of which 14 articles were research letters or pre-prints awaiting peer review. All articles reported observational data: 12 cross-sectional; eight case series; five modelling; and three service utilisation studies. No studies reported on changes in rates of suicidal behaviour. Case series were largely drawn from news reporting in low/middle income countries and factors associated with suicide included fear of infection, social isolation and economic concerns. Conclusions: A marked improvement in the quality of design, methods, and reporting in future studies is needed. There is thus far no clear evidence of an increase in suicide, self-harm, suicidal behaviour, or suicidal thoughts associated with the pandemic. However, suicide data are challenging to collect in real time and economic effects are evolving. Our LSR will provide a regular synthesis of the most up-to-date research evidence to guide public health and clinical policy to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on suicide.PROSPERO registration:CRD4202018332601/05/2020

Published: September 2020

Background:The transition from child-centred to adult-oriented healthcare is a challenging time for young people with neurodisability. As the prevalence of neurodisability increases, greater numbers of young people will eventually transfer to the adult healthcare system. While there is a growing recognition of the importance of providing quality, transitional care, little is known about how to manage and optimise this process for young people with neurodisability. The objective of this scoping review is to examine and map existing literature related to the transition from child-centred to adult-oriented healthcare systems for young people with neurodisability.Methods:Systematic literature searches of OVID MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and Web of Science will be conducted from inception to present. A structured iterative search of grey literature will be conducted. This review will consider all study designs examining the transition from child to adult health services in neurodisability. Two reviewers will independently screen each retrieved title and abstract and assess full-text articles against the inclusion criteria to determine eligibility. Data will be extracted and synthesised quantitatively and qualitatively. The process and reporting will follow PRISMA-ScR guidelines.Conclusion:This review will provide a broad and systematically mapped synthesis of the extent and nature of the available published and unpublished literature on transition from child-centred to adult-oriented healthcare systems in neurodisability. The results will be used to determine gaps in the current evidence base in order to prioritise areas for future research.
Some results on relative dual Baer property
Authors: AMOUZEGAR Tayyebeh , TRİBAK Rachid 
Published: September 2020

Let $R$ be a ring.
In this article, we introduce and study relative dual Baer property.
We characterize $R$-modules $M$ which are $R_R$-dual Baer, where $R$ is a commutative principal ideal domain.
It is shown that over a right noetherian right hereditary ring $R$, an $R$-module $M$ is $N$-dual Baer for
all $R$-modules $N$ if and only if $M$ is an injective $R$-module.
It is also shown that for $R$-modules $M_1$, $M_2$, $\ldots$, $M_n$ such that $M_i$ is $M_j$-projective for all
$i > j \in \{1,2,\ldots, n\}$, an $R$-module $N$ is $\bigoplus_{i=1}^nM_i$-dual Baer if and only if $N$ is
$M_i$-dual Baer for all $i\in \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$.
We prove that an $R$-module $M$ is dual Baer if and only if $S=End_R(M)$ is a Baer ring
and $IM=r_M(l_S(IM))$ for every right ideal $I$ of $S$.
Interviewing the musical sample
Authors: Groten Sean 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Digital technologies and Musical Instrument Digital Interface-sampled instruments have emerged as one of the most significant technological shifts in musical consciousness in western society. Digital music has introduced new epistemologies of music as it raises questions of authorship and creativity, while also challenging the ontological presumptions about what it means to be a musician. Through interviewing the sample by applying various posthuman heuristics, I explore my own relationship to digital music samples and sampling technology as a composer and musician. I engage in a phenomenological inquiry that surveys the various ways the sample affects my ecological milieu of music-making, and more broadly, I explore how a musician is at all times enacting an intra/actional relationship as negotiated between themselves and their instrument.
Accountabilities of posthuman research

Published: September 2020

Abstract
What constitutes ‘good’ posthuman research? This article offers three dynamics to help assess the value of posthuman-inspired inquiry. We propose that a good posthuman research account should show evidence that the researcher: (1) attended to their own more-than-humanness and made explicit how they interviewed and attuned to the nonhuman things of their inquiry; (2) reassembled resemblings of the posthuman world by inventively weaving and fusing human and nonhuman storylines; and (3) offered analytic insights into the liveliness of posthuman research work as the performativity of difference.

The lack of mastery of mufradāt is one of the factors of the difficulty in mastering language skills, and Madrasah in particular does not have material specifically devoted to mufradāt. Mufradāt is taught along with language skills. This is intended to help students focus on the mahārah which must be mastered. This article aims to increase the understanding and mastery of mufradāt in Madrasah Aliyah in grade 11 of MAN 2 Padang Religious Program. The problem that arises in this school is the lack of mastery of mufradāt in students which makes it difficult for them to understand teaching materials. Based on that, this research is limited to three important points; the technique of using film media in learning mufradāt,, the levels of students' mastery of mufradāt before the action, and the level of mastery of students in mufradāt after the action. The study used classroom action research method which is carried out in two cycles. The results of the study show that the steps in using film media have several points, giving a list of mufradāt, watching the film, reading the text hiwār from the film, giving difficult vocabulary and test. In the first cycle the value of students previously 66% to decreased to 58.37%, while in the second cycle increased to 86.46%.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Tensile strength plays a crucial role in many engineering activities involving soils and soft rocks. Currently, several methods for tensile strength determination exist, the most common of which include the direct tension method, Brazilian test, ring test, axial fracturing test, bending test, and hydraulic fracturing test. However, outstanding problems associated with these methods, e.g., undesirable eccentric forces and damage of specimen ends, significantly affect obtained tensile strength values. To overcome these problems, we propose an alternative direct tension test method together with the newly developed apparatus. The proposed method uses an annular specimen that is tension-loaded on the inner hole. The method was evaluated through a series of tests on undisturbed soil and remolded gypsum-sand mixture specimens. For validation, comparison of results between the proposed method and the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM)-suggested method was performed. Based on the results of the experimental program, the proposed method is considered more capable of and more suitable for determining the tensile strength of soils and soft rocks than the ISRM-suggested method.
Developmental Phase Transitions in Spatial Organization of Spontaneous Activity in Postnatal Barrel Cortex Layer 4

Published: September 2020

Spatially-organized spontaneous activity is a characteristic feature of developing mammalian sensory systems. However, the transitions of spontaneous-activity spatial organization during development and related mechanisms remain largely unknown. We reported previously that layer 4 (L4) glutamatergic neurons in the mouse barrel cortex exhibit spontaneous activity with a patchwork-type pattern at postnatal day (P)5, which is during barrel formation. In the current work, we revealed that spontaneous activity in mouse barrel-cortex L4 glutamatergic neurons exhibits at least three phases during the first two weeks of postnatal development. Phase I activity has a patchwork-type pattern and is observed not only at P5, but also P1, before barrel formation. Phase II is found at P9, by which time barrel formation is completed, and exhibits broadly synchronized activity across barrel borders. Phase III emerges around P11 when L4-neuron activity is desynchronized. The Phase I activity, but not Phase II or III activity, is blocked by thalamic inhibition, demonstrating that the Phase I to II transition is associated with loss of thalamic dependency. Dominant-negative (DN)-Rac1 expression in L4 neurons hampers the Phase II to III transition. It also suppresses developmental increases in spine density and excitatory synapses of L4 neurons in the second postnatal week, suggesting that Rac1-mediated synapse maturation could underlie the Phase II to III transition. Our findings revealed the presence of distinct mechanisms for Phase I to II and Phase II to III transition. They also highlighted the role of a small GTPase in the developmental desynchronization of cortical spontaneous activity.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTDeveloping neocortex exhibits spatially-organized spontaneous activity, which plays a critical role in cortical circuit development. The features of spontaneous-activity spatial organization and the mechanisms underlying its changes during development remain largely unknown. In the present study, using two-photonin vivoimaging, we revealed three phases (Phases I, II, and III) of spontaneous activity in barrel-cortex layer 4 (L4) glutamatergic neurons during the first two postnatal weeks. We also demonstrated the presence of distinct mechanisms underlying phase transitions. Phase I to II shift arose from the switch in the L4-neuron driving source, and Phase II to III transition relied on L4-neuron Rac1 activity. These results provide new insights into the principles of developmental transitions of neocortical spontaneous-activity spatial patterns.

The Cellulose synthase-like (Csl) F family has been considered as one of the most crucial genes regulating β-glucan synthesis. It is a cereal cell wall component, holding advantages for human nutrition, but disadvantages in animal nutrition, malting and brewing industries. Based on a genome-wide search method, present study identified barley CslF gene family members by considering the importance of (1,3;1,4)-β-D-glucan and newly completed barley genome. A sum of Eighteen CslF genes were recognized in the barley genome. Then, phylogenetic analyses classified them into 3 groups, that shared conserved motif compositions. A new motif, D,D,WQxxD was also found, which was responsible for the cellulose synthase. Furthermore, using RNA-seq data, the HvCslFs expression profiles were systematically examined in different tissues and tissue-specific candidates were found. Lastly, interaction network analysis identified 11 CslF genes involved in the interaction network. All together, prsent task provides valuable evidence about the genomic organization and evolutionary relationship of the CslF gene family in barley, and facilitate the functional surveys of CslF genes in barley and beyond.

Pollution such as water pollution got intensified with an increase in population density. So, it became important to deal with various industrial and household contaminants like dyes, heavy metals, microbes and radioactive materials. Hence, to remediate the water from such hazardous contaminants in a rapidly developing world, new technological inventions are required globally. Nanotechnology is getting increased attention as it is an advanced technology and shows advantages compared to other innovations. Various technologies are available in remediating water such as algal turf systems and nanoparticle-based adsorption. There are several ways of nanoparticle synthesis, but the algae-based synthesis is very significant and environment friendly. The potential and efficiency of algae in waste water remediation is remarkable and several contaminants can be detoxified, transformed and volatized by algae. There are several potential benefits associated with the algae mediated phycoremediation due to its advantages over conventional systems of remediation and heavy metal removal. Algal strains are easy to culture and adaptive in nature and can be easily manipulated within the laboratory. In this review, we have discussed the biological green nanoparticle synthesis using algae as an eco-friendly, cheap and cost-effective sustainable technology. However, algal mediated waste water treatment is yet in a primary stage and many innovative steps are necessary for adaptive remediation strategies, which can sustainably address global waste water issues.
Retrospectiva da experiência de gestação de mulheres com depressão pós-parto: estudo comparativo
Authors: Schwochow Monique Souza , Frizzo Giana Bitencourt 
Published: September 2020

A sobrecarga emocional própria das vivências do tornar-se mãe pode, freqüentemente, levar ao desenvolvimento da depressão pós-parto. Diante disto, este estudo buscou compreender, de forma retrospectiva, a experiência de gestação de mães com e sem depressão pós-parto. As participantes foram seis mães, com idades entre 28 e 38 anos. Três mães não apresentaram quaisquer transtornos de humor e três tiveram o diagnóstico de depressão pós-parto confirmado. A base para a análise qualitativa desse estudo foi uma entrevista sobre a gestação e o parto. Os resultados indicaram que a experiência de maternidade tem relação estreita com a forma como as mães lidaram com a necessidade de adaptação frente à maternidade, bem como com o desejo e o planejamento – ou não – da gestação. Os achados apóiam a sugestão da literatura que indica a presença de relatos negativos sobre a experiência de maternidade por mães deprimidas, inclusive sobre a gestação.
