The Impact of Historical Agricultural Landuse on Selected Site Conditions in the Traditional Landscape of the West Carpathians
Authors: Kenderessy Pavol , Kollár Jozef , Palaj Andrej 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
This article is focused on the site conditions of the cultural mountainous West Carpathian landscape (Liptovská Teplička village, Central Slovakia) affected by historical agricultural land use, which also included relief and soil modifications leading to the formation of specific mosaic of agrarian landforms – AL (narrow productive plots separated by balks having character of terraces and mounds). It is based on a pair comparison of sites located side by side; the former is located on the productive plot (former arable land), while the latter is a balk. The pairs were selected in order to capture the representative sample of AL within diverse natural conditions, land cover and management. In order to assess the differences between individual AL, continuous soil water content (SWC) measurements using EC-5 soil moisture sensors were performed. The sensors provided continuous measurements of hourly soil volumetric water content rates (VWC, m3/m3). The data were recorded from April 2018 until December 2018. These data were used to assess individual monitoring localities in terms of SWC temporal stability. Furthermore, at each sampling location, an analysis of soil organic matter content, soil texture and stone content was performed. This research was also supplemented by indirect estimation of some site conditions based on phytoindication method using Ellenberg’s indicator values for moisture, soil reaction, nutrient content, continentality, temperature and light. Our results can be concluded as follows: i) the SWC temporal stability assessment revealed the clear effect of AL, however, it was difficult to identify which factors associated with AL typology were the most significant. The high differences between similar AL types revealed the fact that land use, management and rock content (both at productive plots and balks) affect the SWC temporal stability rather than AL typology and their orientation within the slope, ii) phytoindication method did not show statistically significant differences in site conditions between productive plots and balks, despite the fact that there were some significant differences confirmed in species composition, especially between productive plots and dolomite mounds. These differences are related to a higher number of calciphilous and termophilous species preferring ecotones and forests in mounds and group of mesophilous meadow species in productive plots. In summary, it seems that identified differences in both SWC temporal stability and floristic composition between productive plots and balks reflect the management regime rather than site conditions and formation of mounds represents relatively the most significant impact of traditional agricultural land use on the local environment.

Abstract
The EU Strategy for the Danube Region represents a new form of territorial cooperation. Its ambition is to establish a mechanism of joint responsibility of the countries in the Danube Region for the economic and social development respecting the preservation of natural and cultural heritage. The Strategy is built on four basic pillars: connectivity, building of prosperity, strengthening of the Danube Region and protection of the environment. The Strategy declares the necessity of interdisciplinarity and integrated approach to building a sustainable development of the Region. The scientific base of such an integrated management concerning the landscape and environment is in general the geosystem approach to the landscape, the managerial basement is the harmonisation of the development of the society with the natural, socio-economic and cultural-historical potential of landscape. The integration of both these bases needs a proper system of mutually complementary scientific methods and their implementation to the institutional tools convenient for the Danube Region. The goal of the article is to outline the possibilities for joining/implementation of scientific methods through legally supported tools to integrated landscape management and regional development.

Published: January 2021

The subject of the article is the asymmetry of gender in the Polish language, especially as far as the names of the prestigious professions and functions are concerned (i.e. feminatives). It also considers the function of the feminatives in both language and culture, as well as their modern use especially in ideological disputes.
Short history of feminatives in Polish shows, that their presence is a natural way of filling in the lexical gaps related to development of society and changes of civilisation.
AN INVESTIGATION INTO STUDENT'S MOTIVATION TO LEARN GERMAN AT THE DEPARTMENT OF GERMAN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE, ULIS, VNU
Authors: Trang Tran Thi Thu 
Published: January 2021

Motivation is a key factor for the success of learners of a foreign language. Through a questionnaire survey, this paper investigates the motivation of Vietnamese students at the Department of German Language and Culture, University of Languages and International Studies (ULIS), VNU in their German Learning and the influences that impact on their motivation. This study shows that students are highly motivated to learn German. It is also shown that, extrinsic motivation is stronger and more important than intrinsic motivation to the students. Identifying the important role of extrinsic motivation to the students would facilitate teachers and researchers who do research on teaching German to figure out ways to improve the students' learning outcomes.

Published: January 2021

RESUMO:Os imigrantes germânicos que desembarcaram no Vale do Rio dos Sinos durante a primeira metade do século XIX preconizaram o desenvolvimento da educação de Novo Hamburgo. A comunidade, formada basicamente por religiosos de confissão luterana e católica, fora protagonista em ações mobilizadoras no processo de escolarização. O presente artigo resgata essa trajetória, dando evidência à educação comunitária no território da cidade, demonstrando o resultado que se obteve após pesquisa histórica. O leitor será apresentado a contextos históricos que o Brasil viveu, fazendo paralelo com a área da educação, e conhecendo as decisões políticas educacionais que a comunidade de Novo Hamburgo tomava a partir de preâmbulos nacionais. A pesquisa demonstra que a organização dos espaços, tempos e recursos (inclusive humanos) necessários para a abertura das “aulas” foi fruto do empenho de toda a comunidade, mediada pelas lideranças religiosas. 107 anos antes do Poder Público contratar seus primeiros professores, os primeiros moradores da região se prontificaram em fazer da educação um dos alicerces do desenvolvimento local.Palavras-chave: Educação Comunitária. História da Educação. Novo Hamburgo. ABSTRACTGermanic immigrants who landed in the Vale do Rio dos Sinos during the first half of the 19th century advocated the development of education in Novo Hamburgo. The community, basically made up of Lutheran and Catholic religious, was a protagonist in mobilizing actions in the schooling process. This article retrieves this trajectory, giving evidence to community education in the territory of the city, demonstrating the result obtained after historical research. The reader will be introduced to historical contexts that Brazil lived, paralleling the area of education, and knowing the educational political decisions that the community of Novo Hamburgo was taking from national preambles. The research demonstrates that the organization of spaces, times and resources (including human) necessary for the opening of the "classes" was the result of the commitment of the entire community, mediated by religious leaders. 107 years before the Public Power hired its first teachers, the first residents of the region volunteered to make education one of the foundations of local development.Keywords: Community Education.

Imatinib-Induced Acquired Dermal Melanocytosis
Authors: Eversman Anna , Fatima Sakeena , Honda Kord , Beveridge Mara 
Published: January 2021

Background: Imatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting bcr-abl, c-Kit, and PDGF receptors-alpha and beta, is commonly used to treat GI stromal tumors and hematologic malignancies. Hyperpigmentation is a known side-effect of imatinib, with intradermal hemosiderosis being the most common histologic finding.
Case Presentation: We report a rare case of concurrent hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation secondary to dermal melanocytosis following imatinib treatment in an African American patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Conclusion: Early referral to dermatology in patients with similar findings is appropriate given the increased risk of melanoma conferred by heightened melanocyte proliferation.

Authors: Vangipuram Ramya , Nguyen Harrison , Tyring Stephen 
Published: January 2021

Purpose: To determine the true etiology of cases of putative recurrent shingles referred to a dermatology clinic.
Methods: A prospective cohort study of patients aged 15-87 years with reported recurrent herpes zoster was conducted. Vesicular fluid and serology for herpes simplex 1, 2, and varicella zoster virus immunoglobulins were obtained from patients presenting with vesicles. Biopsies were obtained from patients with ambiguous presentations.
Results: 44 patients (56%) had evidence of herpes simplex virus infection. 32% of patients had positive herpes simplex virus cultures or polymerase chain reaction sequencing, and 24% additional patients were diagnosed with presumptive simplex infection based on elevated antibody titers. 44% of patients had a diagnosis other than zoster or simplex. One individual had a positive viral culture for varicella zoster virus. 99% of patients who presented with suspected recurrent herpes zoster had no definitive evidence of varicella zoster virus reactivation.
Conclusions: The most common diagnosis was herpes simplex infection. Our results suggest that true recurrent shingles in immunocompetent patients is rare.

Published: January 2021

Social distancing has played an important role in reducing the transmission of COVID-19, and, if the general public uniformly followed social distancing guidelines, we would theoretically expect no new diagnoses of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) during this time period. However, during the COVID-19 era, we have diagnosed multiple cases of syphilis and molluscum contagiosum histopathologically with an increased incidence in our practice from the dates of March 1 to August 28, 2020, compared with these dates in 2019. The vast majority of these cases were not suspected by referring clinicians. Dermatologists are experts in the recognition of the cutaneous manifestations of venereal diseases which is critical to appropriate diagnosis and management, and they should continue to provide care during this pandemic.
Individuals who acquire STDs during this time may increase the strain on already limited health care resources by disregarding social distancing recommendations. All medical providers must consider how we can better encourage individuals to abide by social distancing recommendations, optimize care for patients during the pandemic, and prevent the misallocation of valued health care resources.

Authors: Rejiram R  , Kanniga E  
Published: January 2021

Computer Aided Detection (CAD) systems that automatic detection and localize lung nodules in CT scans. A major problem in this system is a large number of false positives because of no provision for comparison of the predicted output. This paper recommends a new system with a combination of CBIR and neural network to full fill the gap in the area of early detection of lung cancer. From the preprocessed CT scan image, the system identifies whether it contains nodules using Circular Hough Transform and classifies into benign or malignant nodule using Probabilistic Neural Network. Then, it searched for the most identical pictures and retrieved it from the database. From the retrieved image, it is easy to identify the present cancer stage of the patient. Experiments have done based on both LIDC database and the locally collected database. The performance evaluation of the system is done by using both. The experimental results show that the present study easily differentiates benign and malignant nodules with an efficiency of 97 % accuracy on LIDC dataset, 95 % accuracy on Local dataset and similar images are retrieved with its present stage from the available database with a higher precision and recall rate.

Published: January 2021

Wound assessment is obligatory to plan and complete administration regimens and to assess care. As indicated by diabetes imperative distributed by the international diabetes federation (IDF), there were an expected 40 million people with diabetes in India in 2007 and number is anticipated to ascend to just about 70 million individuals by 2025. Negative pressure wound treatment (NPWT) is an innovation that is as of now utilized broadly in wound consideration and is advanced for use on complex injuries (open injuries) NPWT includes the utilization of an injury dressing through which a contrary weight is applied, regularly with any twisted and tissue liquid drawn away from the territory being gathered into a canister. The present study aims to assess the knowledge impact of negative pressure wound therapy on diabetes wound among staff nurses. The one group pre and post-test design were conducted among 50 staff nurses. Purposive sampling techniques were used to select samples. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect demographic data and knowledge on negative pressure wound therapy was assessed. The video was shown to the staff nurses after pre-test. The present study also shows that the demographic variables sex, professional qualification and wound care experience shows significant association with the post-test level of knowledge among staff nurse at p<0.0001 level and the demographic variables has shown statistically significant association with the post-test level of knowledge among staff nurse. This study concludes that video-assisted teaching program was significantly effectiveness in increasing the knowledge regarding negative pressure wound therapy.
Influence of high temperatures and solar radiation on accidents on road transport in the summer
Authors: Yakunin I. N. 
Published: January 2021

Introduction. During the hot season, there is a positive relationship between the number of accidents per thousand registered vehicles and the air temperature. At the same time, an increase in the temperature and intensity of solar radiation helps to reduce the braking distance of cars. Consequently, the likely reasons for the increase in the number of accidents is a decrease in the level of driving skills. The purpose of the work is to determine the most significant causes of road accidents in the summer, the degree of their impact on accidents in conditions of high temperature and solar radiation, as well as the impact of climate installations on the increase in accidents. Materials and methods. In order to identify the causes of the increase in accidents, an expert method was used, which consisted in a survey of 28 professional drivers with at least three years of experience. To assess the significance of factors, the reasons for the increase in accidents were ranked according to a four-point system, where the number “1” corresponded to the lowest significance, and the number “4” – the highest. It was also necessary to indicate the increase in the adverse effect as a percentage in certain conditions, compared with comfortable conditions.Results. It is revealed that the main reasons for the increase in the number of accidents committed in the summer are: an increase in traffic speed, an increase in the frequency of maneuvering vehicles, an increase in the number of incorrect decisions and an increase in the reaction time of drivers. The direct effect of solar radiation, along with the effect of high temperatures that go beyond the comfort zone, is the cause of accidents. The use of climate systems leads to redistribution of importance among the reasons for the increase in the number of accidents – increases the number of accidents by increasing the speed and frequency of maneuvering, while reducing the rate of road accidents occurring in bad judgement and increase reaction time of drivers.Practical importance. The research provides a basis for developing measures to reduce accidents on the road in warm weather

Authors: Mirza Faizan , Fazal Amaila , Siddiqui Najia , Ahmed Sadaf 
Published: January 2021

Background: Obesity is an associated risk of devastating diseases and increased mortality. Thereby, the study objective was to evaluate the predisposing obese individuals towards accelerated ageing and determine the smell test as the possible indicator for early biological ageing.
Methodology: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in Karachi, Pakistan, from 8th June 2016- 4th December 2019. A total of 412 individuals were included in the study. The data for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), sniffing score, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were collected from the target population. The screening 12 test was intended to be used for the examination of smell disorders in humans. The test results were used to differentiate between Normosmia, Hyposmia, and Anosmia.
Results: Four hundred and twelve participants were recruited in the study with a mean age of 32.65±12.6 years and divided into three age groups; 20 to 36, 37 to 53, and 54 to 70 years. There were 194 (47.1 %) females and 218 (52.9 %) males. Out of the total, 19.9 % of individuals were underweight, 58.5 % were normal, 21.6 % were overweight. It was also observed that of the total, 24 % of participants were pre-diabetic. Cross analysis of the variables showed that the olfaction decreased as the BMI was increasing (p=0.000 for obese).
Conclusion: As the sense of olfaction decreased with an increase in BMI and HbA1c levels, it was concluded that obese individuals have an increased predisposition towards accelerated ageing and the increased risk of predisposition to diabetes to obesity significantly accelerate the process of biological ageing.
