The Parliament’s public relations in terms of political journalism
Authors: Vaišnys Andrius 
Published: July 2020

While sitting at a place designated for guests in a representative hall of the Lithuanian parliament, the Italian President was smiling at the Speaker of Seimas who was sitting right in front of him and quietly waited until the three minutes dedicated to photojournalists and television cameramen under the protocol were over. When the journalists left, his wide smile vanished, and the President confided to the Speaker of the Seimas that he ‘also’ did not like and even hated journalists but had no other choice than get used to them and be nice because they also ‘were an authority’. He agreed for his words to be translated into Lithuanian and pointed out: “A very powerful authority, unfortunately”. This situation from the end of the 20th century is in no way an exception in terms of the relationship between the media and government even if used in this article as a case example, because the author will present some more of such examples illustrating the issues of public relations (PR) of the parliament in respect of the media. It is just that this scene is quite typical. Even the description of the media as an authority that was voiced that morning was old news since it was publicly announced as in the early as 16th century in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom when observers sitting in the press gallery were called the “fourth estate”. These words of the president, who had a long experience of parliamentary work, reflect the issue of relationship between the government and the media: politicians are constantly striving to make an influence by means of the media while the media, if it is not under the governmental control, naturally distrust politicians, their messages and alleged friendliness to journalists. The journalism, nevertheless, has been recognised as the most effective means of information since the 19th century after the periodic media systems have developed, since it has been able to reach crowds, audiences, public and is still the most effective way to satisfy the need for information about the events and personae of interest to society and therefore is of a permanent interest to political and judicial authorities. That’s why the factor of the media is so important – probably the most important in systemic PR applications. That’s why in our times the structures of authority responsible for PR try not only to understand the methods of journalism but also to ‘integrate’ into the process of journalism to become the main source and even to absorb the nature of the journalism, i.e. to become a medium between a politician and the audience. Let us suppose that social networks allow PR specialists to reach at least part of their audience directly, without using a journalist. Maybe a PR specialist needs to become a journalist then, to reincarnate? The author of this article has a goal to discuss the interaction between the media and public relations when seen through the prism of interests of a state institution. We will use the case of the Lithuanian parliament.
Chloride migration measurement for chloride and sulfide contaminated concrete

Published: July 2020

AbstractReinforcement corrosion is major reason for concrete structures deterioration. Chlorides from external sources such as seawater and de-icing salts penetrate in the concrete and as soon as a critical threshold reaches the reinforcement level corrosion processes start. Therefore, the characterization of the chloride ingress resistance in form of the rapid chloride migration (RCM) coefficient, DRCM is crucial to classify concretes for given applications and to enable full probabilistic service life prediction. To measure DRCM of chloride-contaminated concrete, a rapid iodide migration test was developed using iodide as penetration ion and an iodine–starch reaction for penetration depth indication. This indicator mixture has the disadvantage that it is not applicable on sulfide containing concretes such as ground granulated blast furnace slag concretes. In this paper, the reason for the unsuitability of this indicator is examined and alternative oxidation agents are found and validated to overcome this problem. The new indicator mixtures with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or/and potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) as oxidation agents are not only insensitive to sulfide contamination but are also applicable to common concrete compositions and could replace the existing indicator universally.

O FEDERALISMO FISCAL BRASILEIRO E SUAS LIMITAÇÕES: ESTUDO DO FPM E A EQUALIZAÇÃO DAS RECEITAS PER CAPITA DOS MUNICÍPIOS DOS ESTADOS DO PARÁ E MINAS GERAIS NO ANO DE 2017
Authors: Beker Artur 
Published: July 2020

Este trabalho tem por intuito investigar os critérios de repasse do Fundo de Participação dos Municípios – FPM e quais os níveis de equalização fiscal obtidos por estes comparando os impactos dos recursos do mesmo nos orçamentos dos municípios de Pará e Minas Gerais no ano de 2017. Entende-se que os critérios utilizados pelo fundo, principalmente populacionais, estão desatualizados e não levam em consideração as peculiaridades e demais formas de financiamento dos municípios, nos estados estudados muito em razão da existência da atividade mineradora, alcançando resultados insuficientes na equalização das receitas. Em relação ao FPM, objeto deste trabalho, identificou-se que as principais distorções acerca de municípios de mesmo porte, de Pará e Minas Gerais, que apresentavam receitas per capita muito díspares se deu pela existência dos municípios mineradores. Assim como em outros estados poderá haver distorções em relação a outros fatores, como no Rio de Janeiro e os municípios que recebem royalties do petróleo. Em momento algum, considera-se que tais especificidades de municípios sejam ruins, o que se levanta é a questão da necessidade dos mecanismos redistributivos se adaptarem a estas diferentes capacidades de financiamento dos municípios brasileiros a fim de se aproximarem cada vez mais de um sistema de equalização..

Embarazo prolongado
Authors: Sánchez Torres Fernando 
Published: July 2020

Si aceptamos como "embarazo prolongado" toda gestación que va más allá de la duración normal , es necesario precisar qué se en tiende por "duración normal ". En todas las especies animales la duración del ciclo gravídico tiende a ser constante; en la especie humana dura aproximadamente 280 días, a partir del primer día de la última menstruación. Este lapso corresponde a la "duración aparente", pues la "duración real" es el tiempo transcurrido desde la fecundación hasta el parto.

Abstract
Background

Utilizing electronic referral (eReferral) system while enhancing the efficiency and quality of medical services may improve the access level to specialized services and reduce patients' wait times; however, some patients do not follow the the eReferral system guidelines. The present study aims at figuring out why outpatients referred by family physicians to specialists do not visit specialists.
Methods

The present cross-sectional study was conducted in the hospitals wherein eReferral system was implemented as a pilot plan in the calendar year started on 21 March 2019. The sampling was done in two phases: 1) proportionate stratified sampling method, and 2) systematic random sampling. The first, 429 patients were selected. These patients were referred by a rural family physician (FP) to a specialist in the district hospital, but despite appointment made for them by the relevant FP, they had not visited specialists. Then, data was collected using a self-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability were confirmed (α = 0.90). Descriptive statistical methods were used to describe the data and analytical methods, i.e. Spearman, Mann-Whitney and Croscal Wallis correlation tests were also conducted. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 16 at a significant level of 0.05.
Findings

: Most of the participants (54.7%) were female, 43.4% were in the age group of 30–60, 81.6% were married, 26.4% had high school diploma, 47.2% were housewives, 81.6% were rural residents. Among the dimensions of the reasons why patients did not visit specialists, the clinic conditions (3.26 ± 0.74), side expenditures (2.51 ± 0.74), admission and queuing system (2.45 ± 0.70) accounted for the highest average score, respectively. There was significant relationship between age groups, marital status, level of education, occupation, place of residence and type of insurance (p < 0.05), but no significant relationship was observed between them and gender (p > 0.05).
Conclusion

Reducing patient wait times in the clinic, providing patients with appropriate guidance, enhancing patients’ freedom to determine the time to visit specialists, training physicians to communicate with patients properly, reassuring and reducing costs were of great importance to encourage receiving outpatient services within the framework of eReferral system.
Bioinformatic approaches towards identification of potential repurposable drugs for COVID-19
Authors: Mandal Manisha , Mandal Shyamapada 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Repurposing existing drugs approved for other conditions is crucial to identifying specific therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 (coronavirus disease-2019) pandemic. Towards this attempt, it is important to understand how this virus hijacks the host system during the course of infection and determine potential virus- and host-targeted inhibitors. This study elucidates the underlying virus-host interaction based on differentially expressed gene profiling, functional enrichment and pathway analysis, protein-protein and protein-drug interactions utilizing the information on transcriptional response to SARS-CoV-2 infection from GSE 147507 dataset containing COVID-19 case relative to healthy control and infected cell culture compared to uninfected one. Low IFN signaling, chemokines level elevation, and proinflammatory cytokines release were observed markedly. We identified MYC-rapamycin and ABCG2-rapamycin interactions, and unique gene signatures in case (regulation of protein modification and MAPK signaling) as well as in cell (metabolic dysregulation and interferon signaling) different from known COVID-19 genes.

Abstract
Background: Yoghurt contains live bacteria that could contribute via modulation of the gut microbiota to its reported beneficial effects such as reduced body weight gain and lower incidence of type 2 diabetes. To date, the association between yoghurt consumption and the composition of the gut microbiota is underexplored. Here we used clinical variables, metabolomics, 16S rRNA and shotgun metagenomic sequencing data collected on over 1000 predominantly female UK twins to define the link between the gut microbiota and yoghurt-associated health benefits. Results: According to food frequency questionnaires (FFQ), 73% of subjects consumed yoghurt. Consumers presented a healthier diet pattern (healthy eating index: beta = 2.17±0.34; P = 2.72x10 -10 ) and improved metabolic health characterised by reduced visceral fat (beta = -28.18±11.71 g; P = 0.01). According to 16S rRNA gene analyses and whole shotgun metagenomic sequencing approach consistent taxonomic variations were observed with yoghurt consumption. More specifically, we identified higher abundance of species used as yoghurt starters Streptococcus thermophilus (beta = 0.41±0.051; P = 6.14x10 -12 ) and sometimes added Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (beta = 0.30±0.052; P = 1.49x10 -8 ) in the gut of yoghurt consumers. Replication in 1103 volunteers from the LL-DEEP cohort confirmed the increase of S. thermophilus among yoghurt consumers. Using food records collected the day prior to faecal sampling we showed that increase in these two yoghurt bacteria could be transient. Metabolomics analysis revealed that B. animalis subsp. lactis was associated with 13 faecal metabolites including a 3-hydroxyoctanoic acid, known to be involved in the regulation of gut inflammation. Conclusions: Yoghurt consumption is associated with reduced visceral fat mass and changes in gut microbiome including transient increase of yoghurt-contained species ( i.e. S. thermophilus and B. lactis ).

Abstract
Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is a key symptom of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Currently, a few data are available about the recovery of OD after the infection resolution. In this study, we investigated both prevalence and recovery rate of OD with subjective and objective clinical tools in 2,581 patients. First, our data showed that the prevalence of OD was significantly higher in mild form (85.9%) compared with moderate-to-critical forms (4.5-9.7%; p=0.001). Second, focusing on patients with OD who completed the 2-month follow-up period (N=1,363), we observed that 328 patients (24.1%) did not subjectively recover olfaction 60 days after the onset of the dysfunction. The mean duration of self-reported OD was 21.6±17.9 days. Third, the objective olfactory evaluations performed on a subset of patients (N=233) reported hyposmia or anosmia in 54.7% and 36.6% of mild and moderate-to-critical forms, respectively (p=0.001). At the end of follow-up, 15.3% of anosmic/hyposmic patients did not objectively recover olfaction. The higher baseline severity of objective olfactory evaluations was strongly predictive of persistent OD (p<0.001). OD disappeared in 75% to 85% of patients regarding self-reported or objective olfactory evaluations.

Abstract
In Algeria, air pollution is classified as a major risk by the law. However, this risk is underestimated because there is no operational network for measuring air quality on a continuous basis.Despite the heavy investments made to equip several cities with these measurement systems, they are out of order due to a lack of continuous financial support.The alternative to the absence of these air pollution measurement networks can come from the recent development of electrochemical sensor technologies for air quality monitoring which arouses a certain interest because of their miniaturization, low energy consumption and low cost.We developed a low-cost outdoor carbon monoxide analyzer called APOMOS (Air pollution Monitoring System) based on electrochemical sensor managed by microcontroller. An application developed with the Python language makes it possible to manage process and analyze the collected data.In order to validate the APOMOS system, the recorded measurements are compared with measurements taken by a conventional analyzer.Comparison of the measurements resulting from conventional analyzer and those resulting from the APOMOS system gives a coefficient of determination of 98.39 %.Two versions of this system have been designed. A fixed version and another embedded, equipped with a GPS sensor. These 2 variants were used in the city of Oran in Algeria to measure the concentration of carbon monoxide continuously.The targeted pollutant is carbon monoxide. However, the design of the APOMOS system allows its evolution in an easy way in order to integrate other sensors concerning the various atmospheric pollutants.
Sub-Granting Radio Resources in Overlay D2D-Based V2V Communications

Abstract
Capacity, reliability, and latency are seen as key requirements of new emerging applications, namely Vehicleto- Everthings (V2X) and Machine Type Communication (MTC) in future cellular networks. Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is envisaged to be the enabler to accomplish the requirements for the aforementioned applications. Due to the scarcity of radio resources, hierarchical radio resource allocation, namely the sub-granting scheme, has been considered for the overlay D2D communication. In this paper, we investigate the assignment of un-utilized radio resources to Device-to-Infrastructure (D2I) users, i.e., beneficiary user, for moving users in a dynamic environment. The sub-granting assignment problem is mathematically cast as the uplink cell throughput maximization problem. To this end, two heuristics are proposed: 1) Dedicated Sub-Granting Radio Resource (DSGRR) in a centralized manner, and 2) Open Sub-Granting Radio Resource (OSGRR) in a distributed fashion. Simulation results show improved cell throughput for the OSGRR compared with the DSGRR yet less overhead while having reasonable tightness to the maximum achievable uplink throughput.
