Published: September 2021

The aim of this paper is to point out the connections and the relation between financial literacy, poverty and criminal activities in the context of marginalized Roma communities in Slovakia. The target group was selected on the basis of the negative statistics as presented below. Poverty is one of the issues contributing not only to antisocial behavior of Roma communities but also leading them to criminal activities. In the case of the Slovak Roma, 87% of them live in poverty. The marginalized Roma communities are often linked to the so-called petty crime, which is represented by thefts in stores, in groceries, in public means of transport, in the streets etc.
The research carried out using the problem analysis method was aimed at the initial structuring of the research field and theoretical and conceptual preparation of tools for detailed exploration. The study also contains an analysis of the financial literacy of the marginalized Roma communities in Slovakia.
The survey results of the analysis indicate that the community is lagging behind in the area of the financial literacy and education itself. Only a small percentage of the Roma have completed education that is higher than elementary education. There are about 75% of unemployed Roma that receive material need benefits. Since they are unemployed, they cannot take out a loan in a bank. Therefore, another form of crime is the so-called usury, i.e. loaning money directly in a community and with an extremely high interest rate.
There are two areas in the fight against crime caused by low financial literacy that may be regarded as key areas, namely decreasing the level of poverty of the marginalized Roma communities and financial education.
The article problematizes the hitherto unknown contexts of connections and the relation between financial literacy, poverty and criminal activities in the context of marginalized Roma communities in Slovakia and original survey focused on analysis of the financial literacy of the marginalized Roma communities in Slovakia.
Methodology for assessment of food security of countries
Authors: Jurczak Robert 
Published: September 2021

A comprehensive assessment of national food security should include an analysis of the physical and economic accessibility of food, the level and quality of nutrition of the population, the sustainability and competitiveness of agriculture, factors and trends of self-sufficiency in the main types of agricultural products, raw materials and food and the effectiveness of foreign trade in food. To assess the food security situation at the state level, it is necessary to conduct monitoring, which consists in determining the deviations of the main indicators from the criteria and thresholds established at the national level. The monitoring should determine the format of the national report on the country's food security. The number of indicators that make up its basis, should be optimal and sufficient to reflect the level of food security of the country and compare them with the situation in other countries. At the same time, it is necessary to analyze trends in ensuring food security at the global level in terms of the progress of countries and regions of the world in achieving the goals of sustainable development in agriculture, the elimination of hunger and poverty for the period up to 2030. Conducting a study of the components of the global food security index, formed at the world level to measure the policy and efficiency of government agencies in the field of food security, is relevant and in demand for positioning the country within the framework of international comparison of countries.
Analysis of Delivery in Singleton Pregnancies Achieved by In Vitro Fertilization
Authors: Slavov Sergei , Ingilizova Gergana , Yaneva Galina 
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Birth after IVF is increasingly observed in modern obstetrics, so knowledge of its features is of paramount importance for clinical practice.
AIM: The purpose of our study was to compare IVF and spontaneous singleton pregnancies in terms of cesarean section rate, operative vaginal birth rate, induction of labor, manual removal of the placenta in vaginal births, severe PPH and need for blood transfusion after delivery.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study at "Maichin Dom" University Hospital in Sofia, Bulgaria for the period from January 2013 to December 2017 and analyzed 402 singleton IVF pregnancies and compared them with 523 spontaneous singleton pregnancies

RESULTS: We found a significantly higher rate of cesarean sections in IVF compared to spontaneous pregnancies [OR 1.73; 95% CI 1.4-2.14; p<0.001]. Vaginal delivery after IVF is associated with a higher incidence of operative vaginal delivery than spontaneous pregnancies [OR 2.27; 95% CI 1.14 - 4.52; p=0.018]. No statistical differences in rates of labor induction and manual removal of the placenta between two groups were estimated (p>0.05). Severe PPH and blood transfusions were three times higher in patients after IVF undergoing a cesarean section than in those with spontaneous singleton pregnancies [OR 3.0; 95% CI 1.11 - 8.11; p=0.018].

CONCLUSION: IVF singleton pregnancies are associated with a higher risk of cesarean section as well as some obstetric complications. Obstetricians should treat these pregnancies with caution in order to reduce cesarean section rate and improve the outcome.
Optimized Survey Design for Monitoring Protocols: A Case Study of Waterfowl Abundance
Authors: Kumar Alexander V. , Rice Mindy B. 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Nationwide monitoring programs are important tools that quantify the status and trends of natural resources, providing important information for management and conservation decisions. These programs operate at large spatial scales with standardized protocols that require wide-spread participation. However, resource limitations can reduce participation, which can then compromise the spatial replication needed for nationwide inference. The Integrated Waterbird Management and Monitoring program is an example of a national monitoring program that could benefit from a reduction in sampling effort to facilitate increased participation and ultimately broader inference. Therefore, we examined various sampling schemes to determine whether it is possible to reduce the sampling effort while maintaining the statistical accuracy needed to support management. We found that instead of needing to census a National Wildlife Refuge, sampling effort could be reduced while accurately estimating waterfowl abundance to within 10% of the census count by surveying just two-thirds of all the sample units or three-fourths of the total survey area. Not only did this guideline apply to our five pilot National Wildlife Refuges, but it was also further validated by applying it to four additional National Wildlife Refuges. We hope that by applying this finding to other National Wildlife Refuges, we can increase participation in the program by reducing the logistical and financial burden of sampling.
Dendritic Cell–Specific Role for Pellino2 as a Mediator of TLR9 Signaling Pathway
Authors: Oleszycka Ewa , Rodgers Aoife M , Xu Linan , Moynagh Paul N 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Ubiquitination regulates immune signaling, and multiple E3 ubiquitin ligases have been studied in the context of their role in immunity. Despite this progress, the physiological roles of the Pellino E3 ubiquitin ligases, especially Pellino2, in immune regulation remain largely unknown. Accordingly, this study aimed to elucidate the role of Pellino2 in murine dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we reveal a critical role of Pellino2 in regulation of the proinflammatory response following TLR9 stimulation. Pellino2-deficient murine DCs show impaired secretion of IL-6 and IL-12. Loss of Pellino2 does not affect TLR9-induced activation of NF-κB or MAPKs, pathways that drive expression of IL-6 and IL-12. Furthermore, DCs from Pellino2-deficient mice show impaired production of type I IFN following endosomal TLR9 activation, and it partly mediates a feed-forward loop of IFN-β that promotes IL-12 production in DCs. We also observe that Pellino2 in murine DCs is downregulated following TLR9 stimulation, and its overexpression induces upregulation of both IFN-β and IL-12, demonstrating the sufficiency of Pellino2 in driving these responses. This suggests that Pellino2 is critical for executing TLR9 signaling, with its expression being tightly regulated to prevent excessive inflammatory response. Overall, this study highlights a (to our knowledge) novel role for Pellino2 in regulating DC functions and further supports important roles for Pellino proteins in mediating and controlling immunity.
Signal Integration by Translocation and Phosphorylation of PKCδ in the B Cell Alternate Pathway
Authors: Khan Naeem , Hu Yongmei , Lowell Clifford A , Rothstein Thomas L 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
B cell signaling for activation via the BCR occurs as an isolated event only in vitro; in real life, BCR signaling takes place within a complex milieu that involves interactions with agents that trigger additional receptors. Chief among these is IL-4. We have shown that BCR signaling is reprogrammed by IL-4 receptor engagement and that this reprogramming involves creation of a new, signalosome-independent, Lyn-dependent alternate signaling pathway in B cells isolated from BALB/cByJ mice. A unique aspect of the alternate pathway is protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ) phosphorylation. In dissecting this pathway, we unexpectedly found that Lyn is associated with IL-4Rα, that IL-4 induces Lyn activation, and that Lyn immunoprecipitated from IL-4–treated B cells capably phosphorylates PKCδ in a cell-free system. However, PKCδ phosphorylation does not occur in the absence of BCR triggering in vivo. This raised the question of why IL-4 alone failed to produce PKCδ phosphorylation. We considered the possibility that Lyn and PKCδ may be spatially separated. As expected, before any treatment, Lyn is located primarily in the membrane fraction, whereas PKCδ is located mainly in the cytosol fraction. However, when anti-Ig follows IL-4 treatment, PKCδ is found in the membrane fraction and phosphorylated. This translocation of PKCδ to the membrane fraction is not affected by loss of Lyn, although PKCδ phosphorylation requires Lyn. Thus, PKCδ phosphorylation through the alternate pathway represents the result of signal integration, whereby neither IL-4 nor anti-Ig working alone produces this outcome, but together they achieve this result by Lyn activation (IL-4) and PKCδ translocation (IL-4 followed by anti-Ig).

Published: September 2021

The present cases report describes middle-time course of respiratory and physical variables in eight COVID-19 patients who were transferred from ICU of COVID Hub in our subacute COVID-19 unit. Secondly, they were admitted in a pulmonary rehabilitation unit and, at discharge, a tele-rehabilitation program was provided as a continuum of care at home. Time course of oxygenation, physical function and disability were recorded. As expected, the acute event produced in these patients a dramatic worsening in oxygenation and physical activities, with a substantial improvement in oxygenation and mild disability after the sub-acute stay. After rehabilitation program, the patients showed additional improvement in particular in physical function. Anyway, this recover was not complete for all patients. The majority of COVID-19 survivors experienced ARF recovered oxygenation, physical function and disability within a median time of 137 days. A minority needs further follow up and rehabilitation maintenance due to incomplete recovery.
Full medical treatment of COVID-19 associated large pneumothorax - A case report
Authors: Fantin Alberto , Castaldo Nadia , Vailati Paolo , Morana Giuseppe , Patruno Vincenzo 
Published: September 2021

A 52-year-old man was re-admitted two weeks after recovering from severe COVD-19 following a 3-days history of cough and worsening shortness of breath. The chest radiograph showed a large right-sided pneumothorax. The first attempt at drainage, performed through a large bored tube, failed. Due to the large dimension of the pneumothorax, and the lung condition (extensive consolidation and diffuse bullous dystrophies), the only thoracic surgical approach prospected was a pneumonectomy. Willing to preserve the lung, the pulmonology team attempted a multi-phase medical-oriented strategy based on medical thoracoscopy. Therefore, the patient underwent 5 chest tube insertions, 2 talc pleurodesis, and an intrapleural blood patch. Air leakage resolution was progressively achieved, and the patient became asymptomatic.
We strongly encourage a medical thoracoscopic approach for the patient presenting with recurrent pneumothorax in order to ensure complete lung re-expansion and preserve lung parenchyma.
Algorithms yield upper bounds in differential algebra

Published: September 2021

AbstractConsider an algorithm computing in a differential field with several commuting derivations such that the only operations it performs with the elements of the field are arithmetic operations, differentiation, and zero testing. We show that, if the algorithm is guaranteed to terminate on every input, then there is a computable upper bound for the size of the output of the algorithm in terms of the size of the input. We also generalize this to algorithms working with models of good enough theories (including, for example, difference fields).We then apply this to differential algebraic geometry to show that there exists a computable uniform upper bound for the number of components of any variety defined by a system of polynomial PDEs. We then use this bound to show the existence of a computable uniform upper bound for the elimination problem in systems of polynomial PDEs with delays.
Fine Selmer groups of congruent p-adic Galois representations
Authors: Kleine Sören , Müller Katharina 
Published: September 2021

AbstractWe compare the Pontryagin duals of fine Selmer groups of two congruent p-adic Galois representations over admissible pro-p, p-adic Lie extensions
$K_\infty $
of number fields K. We prove that in several natural settings the
$\pi $
-primary submodules of the Pontryagin duals are pseudo-isomorphic over the Iwasawa algebra; if the coranks of the fine Selmer groups are not equal, then we can still prove inequalities between the
$\mu $
-invariants. In the special case of a
$\mathbb {Z}_p$
-extension
$K_\infty /K$
, we also compare the Iwasawa
$\lambda $
-invariants of the fine Selmer groups, even in situations where the
$\mu $
-invariants are nonzero. Finally, we prove similar results for certain abelian non-p-extensions.
Déterminants clés de la pratique optimale de l’allaitement exclusif au niveau de la communauté urbaine de Niamey, Niger
Authors: Halima Diadie Oumarou , Abdourahamane Balla 
Published: September 2021

L’allaitement maternel exclusif (AME), mode d’alimentation de prédilection pour les nourrissons, demeure insuffisamment pratiqué. ’objectif général de cette étude était de contribuer à la pratique optimale de l’AME au niveau de la communauté urbaine de Niamey. Cette étude transversale, d’une durée de 3 mois a porté sur un échantillon de 400 mères d’enfants de 0-6 mois choisi, par commodité au cours de leurs consultations nourrisson au niveau des centres de santé. Les résultats ont montré que l’initiation précoce à l’allaitement maternel a concerné 48% d’enfants ayant été mis au sein dans l’heure qui suit la naissance, et que seulement 33, 5% des mères ont pratiqué l’AME. Cependant, l’analyse statistique traduit une association entre l’allaitement maternel exclusif et certains des facteurs testés. Ces facteurs clés permettant d’optimiser la pratique de l’AME demeurent: la connaissance de la durée et de la définition de l’AME, la connaissance des avantages de l’AME pour la mère tels que : retarde la fertilité et renforce le lien mère/enfant ; la connaissance des avantages pour l’enfant notamment: enfant grossit bien ou l’enfant est toujours en bonne santé et enfin le caractère économique de l’AME. Ces données permettent une meilleure orientation des interventions axées sur la pratique optimale de l’allaitement maternel à Niamey.

English title: Key determinants of exclusive breastfeeding optimal practice in the urban community of Niamey, Niger
Exclusive breastfeeding, the preferred feeding mode for infants, remains insufficiently practised. The overall objective of this study was to contribute to the optimal practice of exclusive breastfeeding in Niamey urban community. This cross-sectional study included a sample of 400 mothers of children aged 0-6 months chosen for convenience during their infant consultations at the health centre level. The results showed that 48% of children who were breast-fed within one hour of birth were introduced early to breastfeeding, and only 33.5% of mothers practiced exclusive breastfeeding. However, the statistical analysis shows an association between exclusive breastfeeding and some of the factors tested. These key factors for optimizing the practice of exclusive breastfeeding remain: knowledge of the duration and definition of breastfeeding, knowledge of the benefits of breastfeeding for the mother such as: delays fertility and strengthens the mother/child bond; knowledge of the benefits for the child in particular: child grows well or the child is always healthy and finally the economic character of the breastfeeding. These data allow a better orientation of interventions focused on the optimal practice of breastfeeding in Niamey.

Paracamallanus cyathopharynx, Procamallanus laevichoncus, Rhabdochona congolensis, Contracaecum sp., Anisakis sp. et une espèce non identifiée. Les nématodes étaient plus nombreux dans le réservoir de Ziga. Cependant, la prévalence des nématodes n’a pas varié dans les deux sites. Les nématodes adultes étaient plus diversifiés dans le tube digestif et les larves étaient fréquentes dans la cavité et dans les tissus des organes. Parmi les espèces de nématodes étudiés, Anisakis sp. a été rencontrée chez les poissons pour la première fois au Burkina Faso. Cette investigation a permis de connaître les espèces de nématodes qu’héberge C. anguillaris au Burkina Faso. Ces espèces n’avaient pas la même distribution chez l’hôte de même que les différents stades. Les adultes étaient rencontrés dans le tube digestif et les larves dans les tissus et les mésentères
English title: Nematode distribution pattern in catfish (Clarias anguillaris (Linnaeus, 1758)) in two reservoirs of Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Clarias anguillaris is a fish widely consumed in Burkina Faso. Among the parasites of this fish, we note the nematodes whose diversity and preferred organs are not very well known. This work shows diversity and distribution of nematodes of C. anguillaris. The host fish were sampled in two reservoirs in Burkina Faso; namely the Loumbila dam and the Ziga dam. At each sampling, the host fish were examined for nematodes. The digestive tract, for its part, was separated from the secondary organs after dissection, and each part was examined for the collection of nematodes. A total of 268 Clarias anguillaris were examined. Of the fish examined, 74.63% were infected. 06 species of Nematodes were collected: Paracamallanus cyathopharynx, Procamallanus laevichoncus, Rhabdochona congolensis, Contracaecum sp., Anisakis sp. and an unidentified nematode. Nematodes were more abundant in Ziga dam. However, the percentage of nematodes infestation did not vary at both sites. Adults’ nematodes were more diverse in the digestive tract and larva were more found in the cavity and in the tissues. Among the species of nematodes studied, Anisakis sp. was encountered for the first time on fishes in Burkina Faso. This investigation allowed to discover the nematode species harbored by C. anguillaris in Burkina Faso. These species did not have the same distribution in the host nor the different stages of the nematodes. Adults were found in the digestive tract and larvae in tissues and mesenteries.
