Published: September 2020

Aim. The article aims to experimentally test the methodology for the development of the main physical qualities in hockey players with hearing impairment in their first and second year of training. Materials and methods. The study involved 38 young hockey players at the stage of sports specialization with hearing loss of 55 dB, which corresponds to an average and high degree of hearing loss. The experiment took place on the premises of the sports school for children and youth of the Gornyak Sports Club (Uchaly, Bashkortostan Republic) and Sports School No 3 named after M.M. Azamatova (Ufa, Bashkortostan Republic). In the control groups, training was carried out in accordance with the traditional ice hockey program developed in compliance with the Federal Standard. Our methodology was included in the training program of hockey players of the experimental group. The main training load was chosen in accordance with the sports school program. Results. Features of the sports training of hockey players with hearing impairment were established, which served as the basis for the development of methods for increasing their physical fitness and the formation of adaptive-compensatory responses of the body in the first and second years of training. The latter are associated with their specific morphofunctional features resulted from damage to the auditory analyzer and secondary changes in the psychoemotional status and functional systems of the body manifested in impaired coordination abilities and a lag in the development of speed-strength and speed qualities. The main physical qualities and their most significant components for adolescent hockey players with hearing impairment in the first and second years of training were identified. Conclusion. Our methodo­logy for training hockey players with hearing impairment aimed at the development of the main physical qualities and their components contributed to improving the coordination abilities of young hockey players, as well as their ability to maintain a vertical posture, dynamic and static balance. Hockey players of the experimental group better acquired the correct rhythm pattern of motor actions, showed better results in tests for the differentiation of muscle effort, intermuscular coordination and the ability to arbitrarily control muscle tension and relaxation.

Development and experimental research of a low-thermal asphalt material for grouting leakage blocking
Authors: Fu Ping , Huang Liwei , Xing Zhanqing 
Published: September 2020

AbstractTunnel water burst is among the common severe geological hazards in deep buried tunnel projects in China and throughout the world. Asphalt grouting is an effective method to block seepage channels in macroporous strata under the condition of flowing water, but it has defects such as a high heating temperature, complex high-temperature construction technology, and poor controllability during the grouting process. A type of “water-in-oil” low-thermal asphalt was developed in this study. It can cool and solidify and not be diluted when encountering water, and its construction temperature can be below 80°C. Experimental research on the physical and mechanical properties of the low-thermal asphalt leakage-blocking material was completed, including proportion experiments, fluidity, sensitivity to temperature, one- and two-dimensional indoor diffusion experiments, and impact experiments, which presented its physical and mechanical properties and can provide guidance for the application of the material in site projects.
Assessment of the potential of multifarious demand response programs in reducing transformer loss of life

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Transformer may enter the ageing cycle sooner if it is loaded more than the rated value for longer periods of time in its life cycle. This paper exploits demand response as a way to improve transformer life by reducing the hottest spot temperature (HST) which is caused due to better load profile. The aim of the paper is to investigate the impact of various types of price-based and incentive-based demand response programs (DRPs) on the transformer life and other attributes like energy consumption, peak to average ratio, etc. Entropy method is used to determine the weights of multi-attributes in a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) model formed by the various attributes and the multifarious demand response programs. Using these weights, the various DRPs are ranked using Program Ranking Index to assist the utility in deciding which DRP is to be employed. IEEE transformer model is used to calculate the transformer ageing for two cases with and without demand response programs. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of demand response in mitigating transformer loss of life. Furthermore, the economic and technical benefits of employing demand response are quantified.

Abstract

Objectives
Hypertension is the number one risk factor and primary contributor of cardiovascular diseases. Caesalpinia benthamiana is a valuable medicinal plant with unvalidated anti-hypertensive activity. This study was carried out to explore the antihypertensive effect of C. benthamiana on uninephrectomized hypertensive rats.

Methods
Fifty rats were grouped into five groups, each containing 10 animals: Group A-normal control (normotensive); B-uninephrectomized control; C-uninephrectomized treated with 50 mg/kg C. benthamiana extract; D-uninephrectomized treated with 100 mg/kg C. benthamiana; and E- uninephrectomized treated with 10 mg/kg of Lisinopril.

Results
Significant increases were observed in systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure of uninephrectomized control rats. Furthermore, markers of oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, protein carbonyl, myeloperoxidase and the advanced oxidative protein products) increased significantly while antioxidant status (reduced glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase and superoxide dismutase), reduced significantly in uninephrectomized hypertensive rats. Histopathology revealed thrombosis and occlusion of coronary vessels in the heart, and congestion in the kidney. However, the observed high blood pressure parameters were remarkably normalized together with reduction in markers of oxidative stress and improvement in antioxidant defence system of uninephrectomized hypertensive rats treated with C. benthamiana extract similar to normotensive rats.

Conclusions

C. benthamiana extract exhibited antihypertensive action, strong antioxidant ability, attenuated oxidative stress-mediated hypertension and lessened the development of cardiac and renal damage associated with hypertension induced by uninephrectomy and high dietary intake of salt. Together, C. benthamiana extract might be useful in the management of hypertension due to volume overload in the cardiovascular system.
Towards Developing a Comprehensive Tag Set for the Arabic Language
Authors: Alqrainy Shihadeh , Alawairdhi Muhammed 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive Tag set as a fundamental component for developing an automated Word Class/Part-of-Speech (PoS) tagging system for the Arabic language. The aim is to develop a standard and comprehensive PoS tag set that based upon PoS classes and Arabic inflectional morphology useful for Linguistics and Natural Language Processing (NLP) developers to extract more linguistic information from it. The tag names in the developed tag set uses terminology from Arabic tradition grammar rather than English grammar. The usability of the presented Tag set has been tested in manual tagging and built up a set of tagged text to serve as a goal corpus used to compare it with the results obtained from the tagger. The tagger has achieved an average accuracy of 90% using the developed detailed tag set.
Homozygous p.R31H GNRH1 mutation and normosmic congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in a patient and self-limited delayed puberty in his relatives
Authors: Brachet Cécile , Gernay Caroline , Boros Emese , Soblet Julie , Vilain Catheline , Heinrichs Claudine 
Published: September 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) is a rare condition resulting from GnRH deficiency. Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone 1 (GNRH1) homozygous mutations are an extremely rare cause of normosmic CHH (nCHH). Most heterozygous individuals are asymptomatic, with the notable exception of individuals heterozygous for a p.R31C GNRH1 mutation.

Case presentation
The patient is an index case from a consanguineous family, presenting with severe CHH and his parents presenting with late puberty and normal fertility. The index case is homozygous for a p.R31H GNRH1 variant, both parents being heterozygous. The analysis of a panel of genes implicated in CHH does not show any other clinically relevant variant in any other gene tested.

Conclusions
GNRH1 mutations are a rare cause of nCHH. Five different mutations have been reported so far in homozygous individuals. Most are frameshift in nature but the one reported here causes an amino acid change in the Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) decapeptide. Both independently reported patients with the p.R31H mutation are from Turkish origin. The question of the possible role of this mutation in the late puberty of the heterozygous parents needs further documentation. An analogy is made with the heterozygous individuals carrying the p.R31C and displaying partial CHH. No nonreproductive disorder is noted.

Authors: Zhang Yu , Liu Xinsheng , Yu Yuncai , Hu Hongchang 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
In this article, an errors-in-variables regression model in which the errors are negatively superadditive dependent (NSD) random variables is studied. First, the Marcinkiewicz-type strong law of large numbers for NSD random variables is established. Then, we use the strong law of large numbers to investigate the asymptotic normality of least square (LS) estimators for the unknown parameters. In addition, the mean consistency of LS estimators for the unknown parameters is also obtained. Some results for independent random variables and negatively associated random variables are extended and improved to the case of NSD setting. At last, two simulations are presented to verify the asymptotic normality and mean consistency of LS estimators in the model.
Image Restoration by Learning Morphological Opening-Closing Network
Authors: Mondal Ranjan , Dey Moni Shankar , Chanda Bhabatosh 
Published: September 2020

AbstractMathematical morphology is a powerful tool for image processing tasks. The main difficulty in designing mathematical morphological algorithm is deciding the order of operators/filters and the corresponding structuring elements (SEs). In this work, we develop morphological network composed of alternate sequences of dilation and erosion layers, which depending on learned SEs, may form opening or closing layers. These layers in the right order along with linear combination (of their outputs) are useful in extracting image features and processing them. Structuring elements in the network are learned by back-propagation method guided by minimization of the loss function. Efficacy of the proposed network is established by applying it to two interesting image restoration problems, namelyde-rainingandde-hazing. Results are comparable to that of many state-of-the-art algorithms for most of the images. It is also worth mentioning that the number of network parameters to handle is much less than that of popular convolutional neural network for similar tasks.

Published: September 2020

Abstract

Introduction
Hepatic artery aneurysms are rare, and their treatment represents a challenge for the surgeons.

Materials and methods
A new technique is presented for common hepatic artery (CHA) aneurysm: it requires minimal vascular surgical dissection and only one linear vascular stapler is applied at the bottom of aneurysm. Aneurysm exclusion is easily obtained, which allowed retrograde thrombosis. Liver blood supply is ensured to the right and left hepatic artery, through the gastroduodenal artery, and can be previously monitored, with temporary clamping of the section area, by visual control, enzyme evaluation and intraoperative ultrasound examination. We reported an open surgical treatment, with simultaneous removal of hepatic and adrenal metastases, secondary to colon cancer.

Results
The duration of vascular surgery was 30 min and did not involve complications. Postoperative controls confirmed the efficacy of the procedure.

Discussion
This original technique can be added to the various open and endovascular techniques so far described for the treatment of a CHA aneurysm. It is advisable as open surgery, mostly in case of associated pathologies.

Conclusions
The authors believe that this “one shot” technique by vascular staple of the distal part of CHA is minimally invasive and effective to obtain the exclusion of the aneurysm.

Abstract
The state of the microbial community is an essential factor determining the processes of soil restoration of disturbed soils. Quarrying and mining complexes are valuable sites for studying soil formation processes. Four different quarries (gypsum, sand–gravel mixture, sand, and clay) of the Republic of Bashkortostan were surveyed to determine the status of the microbial community of post-technogenic soils. Amplicon libraries of the 16s rDNA gene were analyzed. It was shown that the microbial communities of different soil horizons of quarries differ significantly. According to the results of the analysis, quarry communities demonstrate differences in the microbial composition of different horizons, while in some cases, the upper horizon is richer.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Indoor air pollution marked with decreased air quality below the set standard. The quality of indoor air is determined by ambient air quality as well as by a harmful substance resulting from the household activity. Indoor air pollution may cause several problems such as sick building syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, lung cancer, and is responsible for nearly two million death in developing countries. One of the interesting research topics to overcome the indoor air pollution problem is the application of indoor plants. Although there are no established criteria to specify the best indoor plant, several studies have revealed the capability of a particular indoor plant to remove the harmful substances. This paper summarizes important information about indoor air pollution and provides the evidence-based insight of indoor plant usefulness as an alternative way for indoor air remediation.
Artesunate attenuates traumatic brain injury-induced impairments in rats
Authors: Zhou Zhike , Hou Jun , Li Qinghua 
Published: September 2020

Abstract

Background
Blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction and neuroinflammation induced by traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) cause a succession of secondary brain damage events and finally lead to a massive and progressive cerebral neuronal destruction. Artesunate, a semisynthetic artemisinin derivative, is a potential candidate for the management of cerebral damage induced by TBI due to its protective function to BBB and cerebral neurons.

Methods
To demonstrate the effect of artesunate to TBI-induced BBB dysfunction and neural damage, TBI rat model was constructed by cortical impact injury. Behavioral experiments were used to estimate the impact of the combined treatment on rats. Western blotting was performed to demonstrate the protein levels in the brain tissues of rats. Quantitative real-time PCRs were utilized to investigate the alteration in the expression of various RNA levels. The chemokine levels were estimated by ELISA.

Results
Artesunate treatment attenuated the impact caused by TBI on rat brain and improved the long-term neurological recover. Artesunate treatment protected the integrity of BBB and inhibited neuroinflammation. Artesunate treatment promoted the phosphorylation of Akt and inhibited the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β in TBI rat model.

Conclusion
Artesunate protected rats from TBI-induced impairments of BBB and improved longer-term neurological outcomes.
O lugar da criança na pesquisa: questões teórico-metodológicas e éticas
Authors: Brostolin Marta Regina 
Published: September 2020

A pesquisa com crianças surgiu a partir da Sociologia da Infância como uma nova vertente de estudos científicos. De forma tímida, inicialmente, vem ao longo dos anos sendo mais utilizada por pesquisadores da infância garantindo às crianças o direito de expressão e audição. Este novo campo teórico-empírico transforma as crianças de objetos em sujeitos participantes da pesquisa. Nesse contexto se insere a problemática subjacente a este texto que procura refletir sobre qual o lugar da criança na pesquisa, as questões teórico-metodológicas envolvidas e que cuidados éticos são necessários no desenvolvimento da investigação. Conhecer a criança e adentrar seu mundo por meio da pesquisa participativa exige a criação de múltiplos olhares sobre o contexto e sobre o modo como delineia suas ações. Implica na criação de estratégias metodológicas que lhe permita diferentes modos de expressão, audição e movimentos, sendo tarefa do pesquisador adulto tornar audíveis e visíveis às ações das crianças durante a investigação. A pesquisa e o desenho pelo qual é constituída, deverá criar condições para que crianças e adultos possam, a partir de diferentes linguagens, visibilizar as ações e dar-lhes sentido. Além das questões teórico-metodológicas, deve-se também ter muita atenção a ética em respeito à criança e cuidados com seu bem-estar. Trata-se de considerar e dar a criança seu lugar como participante e parceira no processo de investigação, partilhando um espaço intersubjetivo e inter-relacional de forma efetiva e ética.
