FOSHU-approved Fibersol®-2 product review
Authors: Martirosyan Danik , Chen Stella 
Published: May 2021

Fibersol®-2 is manufactured by Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. and is sold as a tasteless powder or liquid to be added to foods or beverages. It is approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare as a “Standardized FOSHU (Food for Specified Health Uses)” ingredient that contains the bioactive compound, digestion-resistant maltodextrin. Its current designated functions under FOSHU are as a dietary fiber for improving intestinal regularity and for controlling postprandial blood glucose and triglyceride levels. Furthermore, clinical trials have been done in human and animal subjects to investigate other potential health benefits. This product review focuses on English-language publications of studies that tested Fibersol-2 on human subjects. From these studies, there is evidence that Fibersol-2 plays a role in controlling fasting blood glucose levels, improving intestinal function and metabolic syndrome, and increasing satiety in human subjects. However, more studies are needed to draw definite conclusions about the amounts of Fibersol-2 that are needed to observe each health benefit and to confirm the efficacy and significance of Fibersol-2’s benefits in the larger population, particularly the benefits that aren’t designated under FOSHU.Keywords: Fibersol-2, FOSHU, glucose control, metabolic syndrome, intestinal benefit, microbiome, dietary fiber, satiety

We describe the development of a new tool specifically designed to record oral abilities, swallowing and, more generally, feeding in young type 1 SMA patients, to be used during the first 24 months of life. The tool is composed by a checklist and a separate section summarizing the functional abilities into levels of feeding/swallowing impairment. The checklist includes 12 questions assessing aspects thought to be clinically meaningful for a type 1 SMA population and developmentally appropriate for infants during the first months of life. Each item is graded with a score of 0 or 1, depending on the child’s ability to perform the activity. As some items are age-dependent, the number of items to be used, and therefore the maximum score, changes with increasing age. The levels of feeding/swallowing impairment include four levels that can be identified using easily identifiable clinical criteria. In an attempt to validate the tool in an untreated population we applied it to 24 type 1 SMA patients (age range: 2.3–24.1 months, mean: 10.8) in whom the same information collected by the new tool had been previously recorded using a less-structured format. When patients were classified in three groups according to the Dubowitz decimal classification, there was a significant difference both at baseline and at follow-up ( p < 0.001). The items assessing fatigue during the nursing sessions were the most frequently impaired even in infants who did not have any other obvious clinical sign of swallowing difficulties.

BACKGROUND: HPV-16 positivity in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of oropharynx (OPSCC) is associated with better prognosis. However, in more than 40% of HPV infected patients progression of cancer disease is observed, which indicates the presence of cancer cells resistant to therapy. Some studies suggest that there may be a subpopulation of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which simultaneously exhibit unlimited ability to self-renew and differentiate towards neoplastic cells. The relation between HPV16 infection and biomarkers of CSCs is unclear. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare the expression of CD44, CD98, ALDH1/2 and P16 in oropharyngeal cancer patients with or without HPV16 infection, as well as to analyze the prognostic potential of selected CSCs biomarkers in these two subgroups. METHODS: The study was performed in a group of 63 patients. HPV16 infection status was analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, while CD44, CD98, ALDH1/2 and P16 expression by immunohistochemistry. In survival analysis, two endpoints were applied: overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS: Among 63 cancers, HPV16 infection was found in 25 tumors (39.7%), overexpression of CD44, CD98, ALDH1/2 and P16 in 43 (68.2%), 30 (47.6%), 33 (52.4%) and 27 (42.9%) cancers, respectively. In the HPV16-positive subgroup, DFS rate of 100% was observed in patients with tumors characterized by lack of CD44 overexpression and those treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin (CisPt-CRT). In the HPV16-negative subgroup 100% of DFS was noticed for patients ( n = 6) with P16 immunopositive tumors. In this subgroup none of the CSCs biomarkers evaluated in the study had any impact on OS or DFS. In patients with HPV16-positive oropharyngeal cancer, lack of CD44 overexpression and application of CisPt-CRT were found to be positive prognostic factors.
FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN MODERNIZATION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF TYPICAL POSTWAR HOUSING
Authors: Demkiv Myron , Popova Solomiya 
Published: May 2021

The article presents the results of review and analysis of literature sources on the reconstruction and modernization of typical housing in the postwar period in Europe (Germany, France, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) and Russia. The main issues of its implementation are considered: energy efficiency, organizational and economic, architectural and planning. The organization of reconstruction and modernization of housing at the state level is described in detail, application of modern technologies during its implementation, as well as examples of implemented projects.
After the Second World War in many countries of the world and especially in the countries of the socialist camp there was a massive panel and brick housing construction on typical projects of the first generation with the use of industrial structures. In the early 70's it became clear that such buildings are obsolete, lost social attractiveness, and most importantly, efficiency. Analysis of the state of old buildings and the use of a multifaceted approach to the renovation and reconstruction of obsolete housing has led to the realization that the renovation of such buildings is more economical than new buildings in vacated areas and they are available to middle-income people. Foreign experience in the modernization and reconstruction of post-war housing convincingly proves this.
It should be noted that each European country finds its own ways to address organizational, technological and economic issues related to the reconstruction and modernization of residential buildings.
Based on the fact that the first post-war buildings on standard projects, as a rule, were carried out in whole arrays, their reconstruction should be based not only on residential buildings but also on the residential district or neighborhood as a whole. During the reconstruction of buildings should be considered traditional or historical features of the surrounding parts of the city. Particular attention should be paid to improving transport conditions, as the number of individual transport is constantly growing. Also important are the issues of insolation and aeration, which, together with the appropriate level of landscaping, significantly affect the microclimate of residential buildings. In addition, open buildings are deprived of the individuality of the yard space, so the reconstruction of the neighborhood should be based on the principles of closed or semi-closed buildings. This can be achieved by adding or constructing additional volumes that connect individual buildings. This achieves both economic and functional efficiency of space use.
ARCHITECTURE OF THE RAILWAY STATIONS HOLOBY AND KOVEL IN THE WORK OF O. M. VERBYTSKYI
Authors: Nazaruk Mykola 
Published: May 2021

Annotation text. Architecture of the late XIX – early ХХ century causes great interest in researchers. At this time, railways and railway stations were actively built all over the world. At this time also, a new architectural style, called Art Nouveau, has distributed around the world. The representative of this style in Ukraine is the architect O. M. Verbytskyi, whose work is largely reflected in the architecture of railway station complexes.
Today, the question arises of restoring the original appearance of historic architectural objects, including railway stations. Therefore, the research of history railway, and also the research of town-planning, planning, volume-spatial structure and stylistics of the railway station complexes as a type of buildings are relevant in the framework of historical and architectural researches of Volhynia in the second half of XIX – early ХХ century.
The research methodology is based on general (observation, comparative analysis, etc.), interdisciplinary (structuring, classification, etc.) and disciplinary, that inlude architectural and town-planning (analysis of the urban situation, functional structure and morphology of individual buildings and their complexes) research methods.
Holoby and Kovel railway stations are original and exquisite buildings by their architecture.
The volume-spatial solutions of the Holoby and Kovel railway stations are characterized by the following features: innovation, architectural expressiveness, boldness of compositional solutions, combination of curvilinear forms with rectilinear ones, Art Nouveau style.
The article deals with the history of creation, planning structure, volume-spatial composition and stylistics of the railway stations Holoby and Kovel, which are designed by the outstanding Ukrainian architect O. M. Verbytskyi and built in the beginning of the ХХ century.

<p>Canadian Dreams. Edo van Belkom. Northern Dreamers: Interviews with Famous Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Writers. Out of This World Series #4. Ontario: Quarry, 1998. 254 pp. $19.95 CDA; $14.95 USA paper. Dist. in USA by InBook (800-243-0138). This collection of 22 interviews with Canadian sf, fantasy, and horror writers is the first of its kind, and as such it is a valuable guide to the genre in Canada. Edo van Belkom is a professional editor, author of horror fiction, and a Canadian Regional Director of the Science Fiction Writers of America. His familiarity with his interview subjects and the field in Canada is immediately evident. He can be forgiven, then, for the effusive claims he makes for these authors in his introduction. While not all of these writers are "pioneers, leaders, and supreme masters of their realms" of speculative fiction (8), as he suggests, they do represent the leading voices in Canadian speculative fiction. Indeed, most of those included have received international awards, critical and reader acclaim, and some commercial success </p>
Relative and Absolute Preference for Quality
Authors: Angyridis Constantine , Sen Debapriya 
Published: May 2021

<p>This paper seeks to explain two related phenomena: (i) it is often the case that when the newvariety of a product is launched, some consumers do not purchase the latest variety and (ii)the quality of the latest variety of a product is often not significantly superior compared to the existing variety. We consider a simple model of monopoly with two types of consumers:“regular” (typeR) who cares only about the absolute quality of the product and “fastidious”(typeF) who cares about therelativequality vis-a-vis the existing variety. We show thatit is never optimal for the monopolist to exclusively serve typeF. Moreover, we identifysituations where although it is optimal for the monopolist to upgrade the quality of theproduct, this upgrade is not sufficient to meet the standards of typeF.As a result, only typeR buys the upgraded variety while typeF chooses not to buy it.</p>

Applying Agile Methodology in Mobile Software Engineering: Android Application Development and its Challenges
Authors: Kaleel Shakira Banu , Harishankar Ssowjanya 
Published: May 2021

<p> </p>
<p>Highly volatile requirements of mobile applications require adaptive software development methods. Several attempts to address challenges in mobile software engineering have found agile methodology to be appropriate for mobile application development. This project report provides a detailed analysis on various challenges involved in mobile software development which are addressed using Agile-SCRUM methodologies. An efficient mobile software development concept derived from Agile-Scrum methodology is designed in this project. A light-weight Android application for secure and incremental backup has been developed using the proposed methodology. An in-depth illustration of the practical experience in developing the application has been discussed. Unlike other prominent languages like Java, the use of Python for Android platform has emerged recently. Hence developing the secure-backup application in Python was a challenge, which has been dealt in this report. We believe our proposed methodology has a potential to help developers deliver improved quality of mobile applications in short time.

Sensitivity to tonality across the pitch range
Authors: Russo Frank , Cuddy Lola L , Galembo Alexander , Thompson William F 
Published: May 2021

<p>Striking changes in sensitivity to tonality across the pitch range are reported. Participantswere presented a key-defining context (do-mi-do-sol) followed by one of the 12 chromatic tonesof the octave, and rated the goodness of fit of the probe tone to the context. The set of ratings,called the probe-tone profile, was compared to an established standardised profile for the Westerntonal hierarchy. The presentation of context and probe tones at low and high pitch registersresulted in significantly reduced sensitivity to tonality. Sensitivity was especially poor for presen-tations in the lowest octaves where inharmonicity levels were substantially above the thresholdfor detection. We propose that sensitivity to tonality may be influenced by pitch salience (or aco-varying factor such as exposure to pitch distributional information) as well as suprathresholdinharmonicity. </p>
Welfare effects of preferential trade agreements under optimal tariffs
Authors: Saggi Kamal , Yildiz Halis 
Published: May 2021

<p>In a three country model with endogenous tariffs, this paper evaluates and contrasts the welfare effects of free trade agreements (FTAs)and customs unions (CUs) — the two most commonly occurring pref-erential trade agreements (PTAs). We show that if the external tariffof a PTA is not too high, it benefits both members and non-members.We also highlight the implications of a key (but commonly ignored)distinction between the two types of PTAs: while an FTA member canform an another (independent) FTA with an existing non-member, aCU member cannot. Under a pair of independent bilateral FTAs,the common member’s welfare is higher than that under free trade.Furthermore, if the common member is relatively efficient comparedto the other two countries, such a ‘hub and spoke’ pattern of FTAscan yield higher global welfare than free trade. By contrast, such anoutcome is never possible under a CU. </p>
Perceptual significance of inharmonicity and spectral envelope in the piano bass range
Authors: Galembo Alexander , Askenfelt Anders , Cuddy Lola L. , Russo Frank 
Published: May 2021

<p>Professionals consider the differences in the timbre of bass tones between large grand pianos and small uprights as significant. By tradition this difference has been attributed mainly to lower inharmonicity in grand pianos, due to longer bass strings. In this study, the importance of the spectral envelope, representing the dynamic balance between high-frequency and low-frequency energy in the spectrum, is contrasted against the importance of the level of inharmonicity. Results from two listening tests indicate that the inharmonicity is less important than the spectrum bandwidth in determining the timbre of piano bass tones. </p>
Are we on the right path to honoring diversity in early education? Lessons learned from Canada
Authors: Bernhard Judith K. 
Published: May 2021

<p>What are unique challenges of global migration on Latin American families in Canada? Latin American immigrants in Canada are not flourishing in comparison to other groups. One can see this by looking at a number of indicators including, low high school and university graduation rates, low representation at advanced level classes, high drop our rates. At the group level, Latin American face high unemployment, poor housing, and relative poverty. One of the barriers which immigrant parents may encounter in the process of acculturation into their new country is differing expectations about how children should behave in school. Major conflicts may arise from differences relating to the whole range of child rearing and care issues, with particular emphasis on the ways of handling misbehaviors of children. </p>
