Authors: Mostari MP , Khan MYA , Deb GK 
Published: December 2020

This study aimed to identify the genetic variation among different generations of BLRI Cattle Breed-1 (BCB-1) and its relationship with indigenous Pabna cattle. A total of 20 ISAG-FAO recommended microsatellite DNA markers were used for this study. Blood samples were collected randomly from fifteen animals of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation of BCB-1, Pabna cattle and RCC as reference cattle breed. The DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification by using microsatellite markers and finally capillary based fragment length analysis was performed by genetic analyzer. The allele number per locus ranged from 5 to 14 in the studied populations. The mean numbers of alleles ranged from 4.95 in 3rd generation of BCB-1 to 7.55 in indigenous Pabna cattle. The mean numbers of alleles per locus decreased in 3rd and 4th generation. Both observed and expected heterozygosity decreased in subsequent generations in BCB-1. The observed heterozygosity decreased in BCB-1 from 2nd to successive generations (0.7257 in 2nd generation to 0.6232 4th generation). The average observed heterozygosity was highest in indigenous Pabna cattle (0.7393). Genetic distance between 3rd and 4th generation of BCB-1 are very low they are more homogenous. Indigenous Pabna cattle and RCC showed more genetic distance from all generations of BCB-1. Dendrogram based on DA genetic distance using unweighted pair group method of arithmetic means (UPGMA) indicated segregation of the four generations of BCB-1 into cluster 1 and 2 which are grouped together and separated from the cluster 3 of indigenous Pabna cattle and cluster 4 RCC population. According to genetic structure of BCB-1, it may treat as a unique cattle population of Bangladesh.

Кардинальні зміни характеру та значне збільшення динаміки ведення мінної війни у воєнних конфліктах сучасності стали результатом зміщення пріоритетів у бік застосування новітніх зразків мінної зброї та саморобних вибухових пристроїв переважно з неконтактними датчиками цілі. Такий стан питання викликав загострення проблеми протидії вибухонебезпечним загрозам, а поряд з цим потребу у забезпеченні потрібного рівня ефективності, безпеки та собівартості процесів пошуку і виявлення вибухових пристроїв з неконтактними (електронними) датчиками цілі. Існуючі технічні засоби пошуку та виявлення вибухонебезпечних предметів, як правило, у більшості випадків ґрунтуються на використанні активних електромагнітних методів. Наближення таких пошукових пристроїв до вибухових пристроїв із магнітними (неконтактними) датчиками цілі або тих, що керуються по радіо, досить часто призводить до несанкціонованого вибуху і як наслідок до втрат.
Встановлено, що майже усі неконтактні датчики цілі поєднує спільна ознака – наявність напівпровідникових елементів у їхньому складі, або переходів типу метал-окисел-метал. Вказана особливість покладена в основу сучасних засобів виявлення вибухових пристроїв з неконтактними датчиками цілі методом нелінійної радіолокації. Однак, при цьому проблемними досі залишаються вимоги щодо безпеки використання пошукових пристроїв даного типу у ручному варіанті або на наземних транспортних засобах. Одним із шляхів розв’язання даного протиріччя є встановлення пошукових пристроїв на дистанційно-керовану платформу. При чому, виникає нагальна потреба обґрунтування тактико-технічних вимог до засобів даного типу при зміні умов та способів їх застосування.
На основі проведеного аналізу попередніх досліджень, як вітчизняних, так і закордонних фахівців, стосовно використання електромагнітних методів пошуку і виявлення рукотворних предметів в укриваючих середовищах (ґрунт, сніг, вода тощо), запропоновано науково-методичний підхід щодо планування експериментальних досліджень процесу виявлення нелінійних переходів вибухових пристроїв з неконтактними датчиками цілі. Експериментальні дослідження, призначені для перевірки і уточнення розроблених теоретичних положень щодо створення перспективних дистанційно керованих радіолокаційних комплексів пошуку та виявлення вибухових пристроїв з неконтактними датчиками цілі за допомогою методу нелінійної радіолокації, а у випадку їх підтвердження – технічного обґрунтування вимог до пошукових пристроїв нелінійної радіолокації та дистанційно керованих радіолокаційних комплексів в цілому.

Published: December 2020

Background:Peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients undergoing infrainguinal angioplasty with stenting suffer high rates of target lesion restenosis and ischemic events. Blood-based prognostic markers in these patients are currently limited. The IL-33/ST2-system is involved in atherothrombosis. Soluble ST2 has been proposed as a biomarker in patients with cardiovascular disease.Aim:To investigate the association of sST2 with platelet activation and monocyte tissue factor (TF) in 316 patients undergoing elective angioplasty and stenting for cardiovascular disease, and its predictive value for ischemic outcomes following infrainguinal angioplasty with stent implantation in 104 PAD patients within this cohort.Methods and Results:Circulating levels of sST2, platelet surface P-selectin, monocyte TF expression as well as soluble P-selectin were determined in 316 consecutive patients on dual antiplatelet therapy following angioplasty and stenting. sST2 was independently associated with soluble P-selectin (B = 6.4, 95% CI 2.0–10.7,p= 0.004) and TF expression (B = 0.56, 95% CI 0.02–1.1,p= 0.041) but not with platelet surface P-selectin (B = 0.1, 95% CI −0.1–0.3,p= 0.307) after adjustment for age, sex, clinical risk factors and inflammatory parameters. During the follow-up of 24 months, the primary endpoint occurred in 41 of 104 PAD patients (39.4%). However, circulating levels of sST2 did not predict the primary endpoint in PAD patients (HR 1.1, 95% CI 0.76–1.71,p= 0.527).Conclusion:sST2 is associated with soluble P-selectin and monocyte TF expression in atherosclerosis but not with ischemic outcomes following infrainguinal angioplasty with stent implantation for PAD.
Acute and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms in Mothers and Fathers Following Childbirth: A Prospective Cohort Study
Authors: Schobinger Elisabeth , Stuijfzand Suzannah , Horsch Antje 
Published: December 2020

IntroductionUp to 30% of women view their childbirth as traumatic. This experience can lead to acute stress disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder. The negative impact of maternal post-traumatic stress disorder following childbirth reaches beyond the mother, potentially affecting her child's development and the couple's relationship. Research on paternal post-traumatic stress disorder following childbirth is scarce. Acute stress disorder is suggested to be an important predictor of post-traumatic stress disorder in mothers, but little is known about paternal acute stress disorder following childbirth. Furthermore, there is limited information about the comparison or relation of acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder following childbirth between parents.Aim[1] To compare the prevalence rates and severity of acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms between parents following childbirth by taking anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as obstetric variables and previous traumatic events into account and [2] To determine if acute stress disorder is a predictor of post-traumatic stress disorder.MethodA prospective population-based design was used. N = 647 participants were recruited from future parents who attended appointments at the Obstetrics and Gynecology unit at a Swiss university hospital. Self-report questionnaires were used: Post-traumatic Diagnostic Scale in the third trimester of pregnancy (T1) and 1 month post-partum (T3), Acute Stress Disorder Scale at 1 week post-partum (T2), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at all time points. Obstetric and neonatal variables were retrieved from hospital records.ResultsAt T2, 8.9% of mothers and 4.4% of fathers presented symptoms of acute stress disorder. At T3, 20.7% of mothers and 7.2% of fathers had symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Acute stress disorder was a predictor of post-partum post-traumatic stress disorder (Odds ratio: 8.6, IC 95% [1.85; 40.42]). Depression symptoms was a significant confounder in the prediction of post-traumatic stress disorder following childbirth, but not anxiety or previous perinatal loss.ConclusionLittle is known about parental differences in acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms following childbirth. Results indicate that both parents may suffer from acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms after childbirth and that acute stress disorder is a predictor of post-traumatic stress disorder after childbirth for both parents. Sensitization of maternity staff to these results may assist in earlier identification of and appropriate treatment for at-risk parents.
I ghiacci si sciolgono. Lo scongelamento del comportamento di voto nei tre sistemi scandinavi
Authors: Marini Luigi 
Published: December 2020

I sistemi partitico-elettorali di Svezia, Danimarca e Norvegia sono stati tradizionalmente caratterizzati da un’alta stabilità e prevedibilità, ma nel corso degli ultimi decenni hanno conosciuto signifcative trasformazioni, con un aumento dell’incertezza, della volatilità e della frammentazione: tendenze comuni a molti paesi europei, ma sviluppate in Scandinavia con caratteristiche peculiari.
Se le tradizionali fratture sociali si riflettevano fino agli anni Sessanta in un sistema partitico «congelato», secondo la celebre definizione di Lipset e Rokkan (1967), e in un assetto democratico «consensuale» (Lijphart 1984), dai primi anni Settanta emergono nuovi conflitti che destabilizzano l’arena elettorale. Il vecchio «sistema scandinavo a cinque partiti» (Berglund e Lindström 1978) con un partito socialdemocratico dominante si trova a fronteggiare vere e proprie valanghe, negli anni Settanta prima e negli anni Novanta poi, causate da fenomeni contingenti inseriti in un processo di mutamento di lungo periodo.
Il declino della classe operaia e contadina, il dibattito sull’integrazione europea, la nascita di movimenti «post-materialisti» (Inglehart 1977), la crisi del welfare state e il tema dell’immigrazione producono profonde trasformazioni nel sistema politico, attraverso una serie di terremoti elettorali. Le vecchie alleanze politico-sociali sono scardinate e si fanno strada nuovi partiti, tra cui una forte destra populista, mentre la competizione elettorale, fattasi più uida ed incerta, tende oggi verso un assetto sostanzialmente bipolare e «maggioritario», più simile a quello degli altri paesi europei.
Se un «modello scandinavo» ancora esiste, esso rappresenta oggi non più una singolare eccezione, bensì un caso esemplare di un processo di mutamento comune al più ampio contesto europeo.

Abstract/Short description
Only very limited historic information about the Tiahuanaco is known, as Andean oral traditions very rarely mention this political organism. This mini-monograph is an overview of six 16th and 17th century colonial sources that recorded oral traditions referring to the Tiahuanaco. Szemiński extracts information from those various sources and compares the different accounts of the Tiahuanaco.

Abstract
We present the occurrence rates for rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZs) of main-sequence dwarf stars based on the Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based stellar properties. We provide the first analysis in terms of star-dependent instellation flux, which allows us to track HZ planets. We define η
⊕ as the HZ occurrence of planets with radii between 0.5 and 1.5 R
⊕ orbiting stars with effective temperatures between 4800 and 6300 K. We find that η
⊕ for the conservative HZ is between

(errors reflect 68% credible intervals) and

planets per star, while the optimistic HZ occurrence is between

and

planets per star. These bounds reflect two extreme assumptions about the extrapolation of completeness beyond orbital periods where DR25 completeness data are available. The large uncertainties are due to the small number of detected small HZ planets. We find similar occurrence rates between using Poisson likelihood Bayesian analysis and using Approximate Bayesian Computation. Our results are corrected for catalog completeness and reliability. Both completeness and the planet occurrence rate are dependent on stellar effective temperature. We also present occurrence rates for various stellar populations and planet size ranges. We estimate with 95% confidence that, on average, the nearest HZ planet around G and K dwarfs is ∼6 pc away and there are ∼4 HZ rocky planets around G and K dwarfs within 10 pc of the Sun.
Mutual Detectability: A Targeted SETI Strategy That Avoids the SETI Paradox
Authors: Kerins Eamonn 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
As our ability to undertake searches for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) grows, so does interest in the controversial endeavor of messaging extraterrestrial intelligence (METI). METI proponents point to the SETI Paradox—if all civilizations refrain from METI then SETI is futile. I introduce mutual detectability as a game-theoretic strategy to increase the success potential of targeted SETI. Mutual detectability comprises four laws that establish how SETI participants can engage each other based on mutual evidence of mutual existence. I argue that the party whom both SETI participants can judge to have better quality evidence, or common denominator information (CDI), has an onus to transmit to avoid the SETI Paradox. Transiting exoplanets within the Earth Transit Zone form a target subset that satisfies mutual detectability requirements. I identify the intrinsic time-integrated transit signal strength, which for Earth is 103 L
⊙ ppm hours yr−1, as suitable CDI. Civilizations on habitable-zone planets of radius

have superior CDI on us, and so under the mutual detectability framework have game-theory incentive (onus) to transmit. While the onus to transmit falls on us for habitable planets around L
* > L
⊙ stars, considerations of relative stellar frequency, main-sequence lifetime and planet occurrence rates mean that such systems are likely to be in a small minority. Surveys of the Earth Transit Zone for Earth-analog transiting planets around subsolar luminosity hosts would facilitate targeted SETI programs for civilizations who have game-theory incentive to transmit signals to us. A choice to remain silent, by not engaging in METI toward such systems, does not in this case fuel concerns of a SETI Paradox.
Inpainting Galactic Foreground Intensity and Polarization Maps Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: Puglisi Giuseppe , Bai Xiran 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) have been a popular tool for image generation and restoration. In this work, we applied DCNNs to the problem of inpainting non-Gaussian astrophysical signal, in the context of Galactic diffuse emissions at the millimetric and submillimetric regimes, specifically Synchrotron and Thermal Dust emissions. Both signals are affected by contamination at small angular scales due to extragalactic radio sources (the former) and dusty star-forming galaxies (the latter). We compare the performance of the standard diffusive inpainting with that of two novel methodologies relying on DCNNs, namely Generative Adversarial Networks and Deep-Prior. We show that the methods based on the DCNNs are able to reproduce the statistical properties of the ground-truth signal more consistently with a higher confidence level. The Python Inpainter for Cosmological and AStrophysical SOurces (PICASSO) is a package encoding a suite of inpainting methods described in this work and has been made publicly available at http://giuspugl.github.io/picasso/.
