Published: April 2021

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a generic designation for a group of related syndromes resulting from myocardial ischemia – an imbalance between cardiac blood supply (perfusion) and myocardial oxygen demand. Visfatin (VF) is a recently discovered adipokine with different functions, Visfatin is mainly found in visceral adipose tissue and mimics insulin in lowering plasma glucose levels and, Visfatin emerges as a player in the development and progression of atherosclerotic lesions by directly promoting smooth muscle cell proliferation, Aberrant angiogenesis is now considered a feature of the atherogenic process in both coronary and carotid diseases. This adipokine was previously known as a pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor (PBEF) or Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAmPRTase or Nampt) an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NAMPT gene and demonstrated to be an intracellular protein with a key enzyme role in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)

UN ANACRONISMO PRECONSTITUCIONAL QUE REQUIERE SER ADAPTADO AL BLOQUE DE CONSTITUCIONALIDAD: EL CONVENIO SOBRE LA PESCA EN EL BIDASOA Y EN LA BAHÍA DE HIGUER, DE 14 DE JULIO DE 1959
Authors: FERNÁNDEZ DE CASADEVANTE ROMANÍ CARLOS 
Published: April 2021

El trabajo aborda la inconstitucionalidad, en lo que a España se refiere, del Convenio hispano-francés de 14 de julio de 1959, relativo a la pesca en el Bidasoa y Bahía de Higuer; tratado que regula la pesca fluvial, el marisqueo y la acuicultura en esos espacios, así como la inspección y sanción de las infracciones al mismo, pero que casi cuarenta años después del vigente bloque de constitucionalidad no ha sido enmendado para adaptarlo al mismo. Esto es, a la competencia exclusiva de la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca en esas materias y en esas aguas.
Para corregir esta anomalía se propone que los órganos competentes de la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca soliciten al Gobierno del Estado la enmienda del Convenio en el marco de los procedimientos instaurados por los arts. 49, 50 y 51 de la Ley 25/2014, de 27 de noviembre, de Tratados y otros acuerdos internacionales; procedimientos que contemplan la participación autonómica.
lan honek Bidasoan eta Higerreko badian arrantzatzeari buruzko 1959ko uztailaren 14ko Espainiaren eta Frantziaren arteko hitzarmenaren konstituzio-kontrakotasuna aztertzen du, Espainiari dagokionez. Hitzarmen horrek, hain zuzen ere, espazio horietako ibai-arrantza, itsaski-bilketa eta akuikultura arautzen ditu, bai eta horietan egindako arau-hausteen ikuskapena eta zehapena ere, eta konstituzioa onartu eta ia berrogei urtera, ez du zuzenketarik izan araudi berrira egokitzeko. Hau da, alor horietan eta ur horietan Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoak duen eskumen esklusibora egokitu gabe dago oraindik.
Arazo hori konpontzeko, bi aukera proposatzen dira: Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoaren organo eskudunek konstituzio-kontrakotasuneko errekurtsoa jartzea, edo Estatuko Gobernuari Hitzarmena eguneratzeko eskatzea, hitzarmenei eta nazioarteko beste akordio batzuei buruzko azaroaren 27ko 25/2014 Legearen 49., 50. eta 51. artikuluetan xedatutako prozedurak erabiliz. Izan ere, prozedura horietan autonomien parte-hartzea aurreikusten da.
The article deals with the unconstitutionality, as far as Spain is concerned, of the Spanish-French Convention of July 14, 1959, concerning fishing in the Bidasoa and Higuer Bay; treaty ruling river fishing, shellfish and aquaculture in these waters as well as inspection and punishment of violations of it. Nevertheless, nearly forty years after the current block of constitutionality it has not been adapted to it; this is the exclusive competence of the Basque Autonomous Community in these areas and in those waters.
To correct this anomaly the request by the competent bodies of the Basque Autonomous Community for the amendment of the Convention to the Government of the State in the framework of the procedures set up buy articles 49, 50 and 51 of the Law 27/2014, of 27 November, of treaties and other international agreements; procedures including regional participation, is proposed.
Fostering Global Perspectives in Undergraduate Marketing Students- A Kazakhstani/Canadian Collaboration
Authors: Freeman Ina , Knight Peter 
Published: April 2021

“Globals” can cross cultural and national boundaries to effectively conduct business in most or all parts of the globe and are viewed as the business leaders of tomorrow (Bird & Stevens, 2003). Utilizing a double-loop learning approach (Argyris, 1976), a transcontinental e-mail exchange project between undergraduate marketing students from very disparate cultures facilitated “frame-breaking” learning about global business. Although not without problems, this project appeared to clearly foster a greater cultural sensitivity and a desire to learn about global business among students. In this paper, the instructors who designed the project refl ect on the value of this innovation for management educators.
Certaines personnes – ici appelées “Globals” – ont la capacité de traverser les frontières culturelles et nationales pour faire des affaires de par le monde. Ces « Globals » sont considérées comme les leaders du monde des affaires de demain (Bird et Stevens, 2003). Cet article rapporte les résultats d’un projet d’échange transcontinental par courrier électronique entre étudiants universitaires de premier cycle en marketing issus de cultures très différentes. Utilisant une approche d’apprentissage en double boucle, cet échange a permis de rompre avec les préconceptions relatives aux relations d’affaires à l’échelle internationale. Bien qu’il ne se soit pas réalisé sans diffi cultés, ce projet semble avoir stimulé, chez celles et ceux qui y ont participé, une plus grande sensibilité culturelle et un désir d’en apprendre davantage sur les affaires dans une perspective internationale. Les concepteurs de ce projet réfl échissent ici sur la valeur de cette innovation pour l’enseignement de la gestion.
Unequal Treatment and Program Satisfaction Among Students of European and Chinese Origin
Authors: Grayson J. Paul 
Published: April 2021

A four year panel study at an ethnically diverse commuter university examines the relationships among assessments of professor performance, GPA, academic program satisfaction, and perceptions of equal treatment of students of varying ethno-racial origins. Repeated analyses of variance indicate that although the first three of these variables do not clearly divide on the basis of ethno-racial origin, non-European origin students are more likely than those of European origin to perceive that not all students are treated equally. Analyses of relationships among variables within and between years indicates that the factors explaining the program satisfaction of students of European origin are different than those explaining satisfaction of Chinese origin students. For the former, it is likely that certain personality characteristics play a key role; for the latter, perceptions of equal treatment of students are more important.
Un panel d’une durée de quatre ans, constitué dans une université non-résidentielle fréquentée par des étudiantes et étudiants d’origines ethniques diverses, nous a permis d’examiner les relations entre les variables suivantes : la perception de la performance des enseignants,la moyenne générale, la satisfaction à l’égard du programme d’études et la perception d’un traitement égal de tous (peu importe l’origine ethnique). Des analyses de variance répétées indiquent que les trois premières de ces variables ne créent pas de distinctions claires sur la base de l’origine ethnique. Par contre, les étudiantes et étudiants d’origine autre qu’européenne sont plus susceptibles que ceux d’origine européenne de percevoir que tous ne sont pas traités également. De plus, l’analyse des relations entre variables au cours d’une même année et entre différentes années indique que les facteurs expliquant la satisfaction des étudiantes et étudiants d’origine européenne sont différents de ceux qui expliquent la satisfaction de ceux d’origine chinoise. Pour les premiers, il semble que certaines caractéristiques associées à la personnalité jouent un rôle; pour les seconds, il est plus important de percevoir que tous les étudiantes et étudiants sont traités également.
Match Between Pre- and Postmigration Education among New Immigrants: Determinants and Payoffs
Authors: Girard Magali 
Published: April 2021

The objective of this paper is to understand the transition between immigrants’ premigration education and their educational trajectories once in Canada, and the return on investment in postmigration education in terms of employment status and earnings. The data come from Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada. Using multinomial logistic regressions and fixed effects regressions, we found that: a third of new immigrants with postsecondary training pursue their education during their early years in Canada; those who are admitted to Canada because of their high levels of skills, namely the principal applicants in the skilled workers category, are more likely to pursue their education; and those who enrol do not see an immediate benefit in terms of their earnings. This is further evidence of the lack of foreign credential recognition in Canada, which delays entry into highly paid occupations and delays full participation in the Canadian economy.
Paratexto: fogo, fumaça e cinza
Authors: Cechinel Fernanda Moro 
Published: April 2021

O fogo e suas derivações, fumaça, cinza, é costumeiramente utilizado na literatura de forma literal ou metafórica. Pensando nas diversas funções de um prefácio em relação a obra literária que ele apresenta, pretendemos com este artigo entender esse paratexto sob a ótica do fogo e seus efeitos. Ou seja, quando o prefácio pode ser para um livro o fogo que o projeta para a história ou a fumaça que o coloca no esquecimento. Para tal intento utilizaremos como base os teóricos Gérard Genette e seus conceitos sobre paratexto e prefácio. Didi-Hubermann e suas reflexões acerca da queima da imagem. E como exemplos de prefácios, em particular, aqueles referentes as traduções, para o português no século XX, da Commedia de Dante.
Engaging Social Science Students with Statistics: Opportunities, Challenges and Barriers
Authors: Brookfield Charlotte , Williams Malcolm , Sloan Luke , Maule Emily 
Published: April 2021

In 2012, in a bid to improve the quantitative methods training of social science students in the UK, the £19.5 million Q-Step project was launched. This investment demonstrated a significant commitment to changing how we train social science students in quantitative research methods in the UK. The project has involved eighteen higher education institutions exploring and trialling potential ways of engaging social science students with quantitative approaches.
This paper reflects on the activities of one Q-Step centre based in the School of Social Sciences at Cardiff University. As well as describing some of the pedagogic changes that have been implemented, the paper draws on data to begin to evaluate the success of new approaches. Specifically, data showing the proportion of students undertaking a quantitative final-year dissertation project is used to measure the impact of these activities. The data presented in this paper suggest that resistance to learning quantitative research methods and engaging with such techniques has decreased. The data also indicates that students see this learning as beneficial for their own employability. Despite this, closer analysis reveals that several students change their mind about employing quantitative methods in their own research part way through their dissertation journey. We argue that while social science students are comfortable learning about quantitative approaches, they are less confident at applying these techniques. Thus, the paper argues that there is a wider challenge of demonstrating the relevance and appropriateness of such approaches to understanding the social world.
Self-reported diabetes and quality of life: findings from a general population survey with the Short Form-12 (SF-12) Health Survey
Authors: Jankowska Agnieszka , Golicki Dominik 
Published: April 2021

IntroductionTo compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in subjects with and without self-reported diabetes in a representative sample of the Polish general adult population.Material and methodsMembers of the general Polish population, selected with multi-stage stratified sampling, filled in the Short Form-12 (SF-12) questionnaire and answered a question about the diagnosis of diabetes. We estimated four types of outcomes: eight domain scores, physical component (PCS-12) and mental component (MCS-12) summaries, and a measure of overall health status weighted according to societal health preferences – SF-6D. We used multiple linear regression to examine the associations of sociodemographic characteristics with SF-12 summary indices.ResultsAmong 2938 respondents with complete SF-12 data, the prevalence of self-reported diabetes amounted to 8.5% (95%CI 7.5-9.6). Respondents with diabetes differed significantly from non-diabetic subjects in all SF-12 dimensions, with the most significant differences in physical functioning, general health, role physical and bodily pain (differences of means 31.9, 24.9, 24.1 and 22.3 points, respectively). Analysis across age groups showed that diabetes was associated with a mean decrease in PCS-12 and MCS-12 by 4.6 and 1.4 points, respectively. Female sex, advanced age, low education levels and treatment with insulin were independently associated with the impaired physical health of respondents with diabetes.ConclusionsWe provided a consistent description of HRQoL, measured using the SF-12 questionnaire, in subjects with self-reported diabetes and respondents without diabetes in a nationally representative sample of Polish adults. Identifying factors independently associated with worse HRQoL in respondents with diabetes may help healthcare providers target intervention programs more effectively.
The expression and role of β3AR protein in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in rats
Authors: Wang Zi-Long , Sun Xiao-Chen , Luo Rong , Li Dong-Ye , Xuan Hao-Chen 
Published: April 2021

IntroductionThe aim of this study is to explore serum norepinephrine (NE)
concentration and β3-adrenoceptor (β3AR) protein expression at different
times during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats and to examine
the role of β3AR in I/R.Material and methodsA total of 28 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into one sham group and six I/R groups (6 h, 12 h, 18 h, 24 h,
72 h, and 120 h). The rats in the I/R groups were subjected to ischemia for
45 min. After reperfusion, the serum NE concentration and the β3AR protein
expression in the myocardial tissue of the left ventricular injury region were
detected. Another 18 SD rats were randomly divided into a sham group, I/R
groups, and an I/R + BRL37344 group. The myocardial infarct size (MIS) and
the expression of apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins in the left ventricular myocardium of each group were measured.ResultsCompared with the sham group, the serum NE concentration of rats
in the I/R groups was significantly higher at 6 h (p < 0.001); the expression
of myocardial β3AR protein started at 12 h. The serum NE concentration and
myocardial β3AR protein expression were both highest at 72 h but remained
high in the 120-hour group. Compared with the sham group, the expression
levels of the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and cleaved caspase-3 after I/R were
significantly higher (p < 0.01, p < 0.001, respectively), and the expression
of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly lower (p < 0.01). Compared
with I/R groups, the expression levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 in the
I/R + BRL37344 group were significantly lower (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively), and that of Bcl-2 was up-regulated (p < 0.05); MIS was significantly
decreased (p < 0.001).ConclusionsWith the prolongation of myocardial I/R in rats, serum NE concentration and β3AR protein expression showed a significant increasing
trend and reached a peak at 72 h. Specific β3AR agonist BRL37344 can reduce myocardial I/R injury in vivo in rats, alleviate apoptosis, reduce infarct
size, and improve cardiac function.
