Published: August 2021

Abstract
Context: In Burkina Faso, Sudanian savannas are important ecosystems for plant diversity conservation. However, population migration from the north due to desertification and insecurity has increased human density and caused an intensification of anthropogenic pressure on southern savannas. This study aims to investigate local population's knowledge on ecosystem services (ES), and perception on their conservation. Method: Individual semi-structured interviews focused on informants’ knowledge on ES and ecosystem conservation issues were conducted. Informants were selected according to the sociocultural groups and sex in three land use intensity levels: the communal area of Dano (CAD), the Total Wildlife Reserve of Bontioli (TWRB) and the Game Ranch of Nazinga (GRN). The use value and vulnerability index of each plant species were determined. Cluster analysis and principal component analysis were conducted to identify the particular knowledge of the different groups.Results: Overall, 163 plant species were cited for fifteen ES. Provisioning services were the most cited (100%) followed by regulating services (92.47%). Entire plants were exclusively used in conservation services (protection against wind, for shading, soil fertility, erosion prevention, tourism and religion). The ten species which contribute most to ES were Vitellaria paradoxa, Parkia biglobosa, Diospyros mespiliformis, Adansonia digitata, Lannea microcarpa, Faidherbia albida, Khaya senegalensis, Afzelia africana, Ficus sycomorus, Pterocarpus erinaceus. Seven of them were identified as highly vulnerable. Migrants and natives around the GRN share the same knowledge, while migrants in the TWRB used the ES only to a small extent due to restricted contact with the native population. Migrants and natives of GRN have more knowledge on crafts services while the native of CAD and TWRB exploit the services that sustain the quality of the agricultural land and insure their primary needs. To reduce further degradation, the different communities suggested unanimously raising awareness on the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem preservation. The most quoted motivations to preserve ecosystems were vegetation sustainability and village development.Conclusion: This study documented important local knowledge-based information to guide domestication of local multipurpose species and the initiation of communities to practice best management strategies for sustainable conservation of biodiversity.

Abstract
BackgroundCerebral ischemic stroke was a nervous system disease with high occurrence rate and mortality rate. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of lncRNA WT1-AS in cerebral ischemic stroke. Materials and methodsStarbase and dual luciferase reporter gene assay were used to analyze the target relationship between lncRNA WT1-AS and miR-186-5p. qRT-PCR analysis was used to detect lncRNA WT1-AS and miR-186-5p expression. OGD-induced SH-SY5Y cells injury model was conducted, and cell viability and cell apoptosis were determined by MTT and flow cytometer assay. Caspase3 ability was determined using Caspase3 activity detection kit. ResultsmiR-186-5p was a target of lncRNA-WT1-AS. lncRNA WT1-AS was down-regulated and miR-186-5p was up-regulated in blood samples of patients with ischemic stroke and in OGD-induced SH-SY5Y cells. We found that WT1-AS-plasmid promoted OGD-induced cell viability, reduced cell apoptosis and decreased caspase3 ability, and these changes were reversed by miR-186-5p mimic. Subsequently, our results proved that XIAP was a target of miR-186-5p. Similarly, miR-186-5p inhibitor reduced OGD-induced neuronal damage by up-regulating XIAP expression. ConclusionlncRNA-WT1-AS/miR-186-5p/XIAP might be a new target for cerebral ischemic stroke treatment.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background
Thyroid lobectomy is recommended as the primary treatment for low-risk thyroid cancer. However, recurrence and hypothyroidism may develop after lobectomy, necessitating thyroid hormone supplementation. The 2015 American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines recommended post-lobectomy thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression. This study examined the need for TSH suppression and recurrence after lobectomy for unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
Methods
This study involved 369 patients who underwent thyroid lobectomy and ipsilateral central neck dissection for PTC between 2007 and 2015. Thyroid function tests were performed before and regularly after lobectomy. Binary logistic regression analyses were used to find factors predictive of the post-lobectomy need for TSH suppression that was defined by the 2015 ATA guidelines.
Results
Serum TSH concentrations gradually increased after lobectomy: proportions with TSH > 2 mIU/L at post-lobectomy 1, 3 ~ 6, 12, and 24 months were found in 77.0%, 82.3%, 66.7%, and 59.9%, respectively. After lobectomy, 168 (45.5%) patients received levothyroxine (T4) supplementation. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that pre-TSH level > 2 mIU/L was the sole independent variable predictive of the need for post-lobectomy TSH suppression (P = 0.003). During the median follow-up of 72 months, recurrence was found in 4 (1.1%) patients who never received T4 supplementation and had post-lobectomy TSH levels > 2 mIU/L.
Conclusions
Our data show that thyroid lobectomy for unilateral PTC is associated with a low recurrence rate, but a significant risk of hypothyroidism. Preoperative TSH level can predict the need for post-lobectomy TSH suppression compliant with the 2015 ATA guidelines.
Material Characteristics Evaluation for DC04-Welded Tube Hydroforming
Authors: Niu Liqun , Zhang Qi , Han Bin 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Tube hydroforming (THF) technology is widely applied, especially in the automotive and aircraft industries. Material characteristics of tubular workpieces should be evaluated in terms of bending and THF processes. A mathematical model, which combines the assumption of elliptical contour of a bulged wall and the prediction equation of wall thickness, is provided to analyze the THF process and to obtain the strain-stress relationship of tubes. Material characteristics of a DC04-welded tube is obtained by using a self-designed THF test machine. Considering the effects of pre-work hardening, we discuss the material strain-stress relationships of the tube and original sheet blank. An approximate determination method is proposed to obtain the stress-strain curve of the tube by using the curve of the original sheet blank and the hardness of the tube and sheet blank. A suitable constitutive equation with pre-work hardening is applied to the DC04-welded tubes through simulation and experimental methods.

Abstract

A blood-based prognostic biomarker to guide clinical decision-making at diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) would be immensely helpful. We investigated a composite serum N-glycomic biomarker to predict future disease course in 244 newly diagnosed IBD patients. Forty-seven individual glycan peaks were analysed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography identifying 105 glycoforms from which 24 derived glycan traits were calculated. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine associations of derived glycan traits with disease. Cox proportional hazard models were used to predict treatment escalation from first-line treatment to biologics or surgery (hazard ratio (HR) 25.9, p = 1.1×10− 12; 95% confidence interval (CI), 8.52–78.78). Application to an independent replication cohort of 54 IBD patients yielded a HR of 5.1 (p = 1.1×10− 5; 95% CI, 2.54–10.1). These data demonstrate the predictive capacity of serum N-glycan biomarkers and represent a step towards personalized medicine in IBD.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Legalization of cannabis for medicinal and/or recreational use is expanding globally. Although cannabis is being regulated country by country, an accurate recent use test with indisputable results correlated with impairment has yet to be discovered. In the present study, a new approach for determining recent cannabis use within the impairment window after smoking was developed by studying 74 subjects with a mean age of 25 years and average use history of 9 years. Horizontal gaze nystagmus was evaluated along with subject self-assessments of impairment, and blood and breath samples were collected before and after smoking cannabis. Breath and blood pharmaco-kinetic parameters and cannabinoid profiles determined recent use within the impairment window. No subjects were positive for recent use pre-smoking, although all subjects had detectable cannabi-noids in breath samples. We describe an inhaled cannabis recent use test that correlates with impairment and helps protect against wrongful prosecution and workplace discrimination.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Saturated fatty acids are known to involve in atherosclerosis through different biologic pathways. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of palmitic acid (PA) on the tyrosine-protein kinase (HCK) gene and protein expression levels in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Methods: The human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (VSMC) were treated with palmitic acid (0.5 mM, 24 hours) based on the cellular viability studies. The HCK gene and protein expression levels were measured by real-time qRT-PCR and western blotting techniques, respectively. Oil Red O staining method was used to determine the intracellular lipid values.Results: The HCK gene expression level was increased significantly in the PA-treated VSMCs (p=0.02). The total and phosphorylated HCK (p-HCK) protein expression levels increased in VSMCs. There was a significant increase in p-HCK value (P=0.001). Conclusion: The results showed that the palmitic acid increases intracellular p-HCK value so that it may affect the HCK-mediated pathways in VSMCs.
Zdroworozsądkowe a filozoficzne poznanie atrybutów Boga
Authors: Sieńkowski Marcin 
Published: August 2021

Problem rozważany w tym artykule dotyczy relacji między zdroworozsądkowym a filozoficznym (realistycznym) poznaniem atrybutów Boga. Na przykładzie wszechmocy, wszechwiedzy i wszechobecności Boga dochodzi się do wniosku, że w oparciu o bezpośrednio daną rzeczywistość i przy zastosowaniu tylko poznania zdroworozsądkowego człowiek nie doświadcza tego rodzaju własności w świecie, lecz przypisuje je Bogu. Natomiast sam z siebie nie potrafi ich uzasadnić. Kwestią uzasadnienia problemów, powstających na gruncie poznania potocznego, zajmuje się m.in. filozofia. Dlatego przyjmuje się, że filozofia koryguje i uzupełnia poznanie przednaukowe. Jednakże dla samego orientowania się i uznania wspomnianych przymiotów Boga poznanie zdroworozsądkowe jest wystarczające.

Using fuzzy inference to plan capital repairs and reconstruction of public buildings
Authors: Ganzen Evgeny V. 
Published: August 2021

Introduction. The article analyzes the determinants that condition the incorporation of public buildings into capital repair and reconstruction plans (CRR plan). These include the technical condition of a facility, specified in an expert opinion and identified on the basis of the survey results, the duration of effective operation, determined in accordance with guideline values, the work performance time, the availability of the engineering and transport infrastructure, and other factors.
Materials and methods. The co-authors formulated fuzzy inference rules and compiled a table of expert opinions issued on their basis. To implement the fuzzy inference procedure, the co-authors applied the Mamdani algorithm, the min-conjunction for aggregating indicators, the max-disjunction for accumulating conclusions, and the centre of gravity method to ensure defuzzification. The Editor of Fuzzy Output Systems of the MatLab package is used to implement the proposed fuzzy inference pattern. The Saati hierarchy method is used to design membership functions (FP). The analysis of literature sources did not identify any works in which fuzzy logic methods or fuzzy inference rules were used to plan the CRR of public buildings.
Results. Membership functions for all factors and the final indicator on the selected scale, corresponding to the Harrington desirability function in the range of values [0; 100], are designed. The results of the implementation of the proposed fuzzy inference system in the MatLab environment are presented in the form of graphs and numerical values of all input linguistic variables.
Conclusions. Fuzzy inference allows to obtain the numerical value of the integral repair potential that underlies an informed decision about the incorporation of a facility into the CRR plan. The strength of the approach is the modifiability and expandability of the rule base in practical work. The proposed planning tool allows to consider a combination of principal factors, cut costs, reduce the time frame and improve the public building repair quality.
Construction industry and the Industry 4.0 concept: a review
Authors: Ginzburg Alexander V. , Adamtsevich Liubov A. , Adamtsevich Aleksey O. 
Published: August 2021

Introduction. The concept of Industry 4.0, which is considered the fourth industrial revolution, includes collective concepts of technologies such as the Internet of Things, virtual and augmented reality, 3D printing, printed electronics, artificial intelligence, etc. It was introduced in Germany in 2011. The purpose of the article is to analyze the publication activity focused on Industry 4.0 technologies in the construction industry and the development of construction technologies.
Materials and methods. To achieve the goal set in this study, a bibliometric and bibliographic review of international scientific publications was carried out. At the first stage, the co-authors decided to use scientific publications indexed in Scopus and RSCI, for which three key word sampling were made: Keywords for the first sampling: the fourth industrial revolution; Keywords for the second sampling: The Fourth Industrial Revolution and construction industry; Keywords for the third sampling: Industry 4.0 and construction.
Given that a small number of publications in the RSCI database — the database of the Russian Science Citation Index (4) — meet the requirements, the co-authors decided to analyze the publications from the list made by the Scopus database. At the same time, sampling 3 was selected for the analysis, as the most complete and suitable for the purposes of the study. Further, the co-authors collected data on scientific publications covering the research topic, and conducted a bibliometric analysis to develop a cluster map of relationships between the key words and a bibliographic analysis to select the scientific publications to be reviewed.
Results. In accordance with the pre-set restrictions, the co-authors analyzed the articles published from 2011 to 2020. In total, 591 publications were left in the sampling. The information about these articles was converted to RIS format for its further analysis and visualization of bibliometric parameters. At the same time, few articles focus on research or development of Industry 4.0 technologies (27); hence, most of the publications represent overviews.
Conclusions. The analysis of publications made it possible to single out two key Industry 4.0 technologies applied in the construction industry: information modeling and 3D printing. At the same time, the development of technologies for additive construction (3D printing) is one of the most dynamically developing areas of research in the field of the cutting-edge construction science. First of all, it refers to 3D Concrete Printing, which also contributed to the inception and development of a number of related research areas in the field of building materials related to the control of rheological and technological properties of dispersed building mixtures, the control of the hardening kinetics of materials that have mineral binders, dispersed reinforcement and other methods of increasing the strength characteristics of composites that feature hydration hardening, tension in bending, etc.
