Abstract
The National Observatory of Athens data center for the European Integrated Data Archive (EIDA@NOA) is the national and regional node that supports International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks and related webservices for seismic waveform data coming from the southeastern Mediterranean and the Balkans. At present, it serves data from eight permanent broadband and strong-motion networks from Greece and Cyprus, individual stations from the Balkans, temporary networks and aftershock deployments, and earthquake engineering experimental facilities. EIDA@NOA provides open and unlimited access from redundant node end points, intended mainly for research purposes (see Data and Resources). Analysis and quality control of the complete seismic data archive is performed initially by calculating waveform metrics and data availability. Seismic ambient noise metrics are estimated based on power spectral densities, and an assessment of each station’s statistical mode is achieved within each network and across networks. Moreover, the minimum ambient noise level expected for strong-motion installations is defined. Sensor orientation is estimated using surface-wave polarization methods to detect stations with misalignment on particular epochs. A single data center that hosts the complete seismic data archives with their respective metadata from networks covering similar geographical areas allows coordination between network operators and facilitates the adhesion to widely used best practices regarding station installation, data curation, and metadata definition. The overall achievement is harmonization among all contributing networks and a wider usage of all data archives, ultimately strengthening seismological research efforts in the region.

Authors: Zavala Ortiz de la Torre Iñigo 
Published: March 2021

La Benefit Corporation es la nueva forma de empresa social surgida en el panorama legislativo norteamericano. Sobre la base de una estructura de sociedad mercantil capitalista, se pretende poder obtener resultados en beneficio del interés general. Este tipo social, trata de aunar los legítimos intereses financieros de los accionistas, con los de los otros stakeholders de la compañía. Para ello los administradores deberán aplicarse en la obtención de beneficios, pero a través del ejercicio de una actividad empresarial que, en su conjunto, tenga un impacto positivo en la sociedad y en el medio ambiente. Este impacto positivo, deberá poder ser, a su vez, objeto de evaluación a través de su contraste con normas estandarizadas, ideadas y aprobadas por terceros.

Do uso fraudulento das cooperativas de trabalho no Brasil
Authors: Rangel Rosso Nelson Rocco Antonio 
Published: March 2021

O arcabouço normativo protetivo que reveste o trabalhador, o qual possui a finalidade de humanizar e dar um conteúdo ético social ao lucro proveniente da atividade capitalista, é constantemente atacado pelo empresariado que busca, de toda forma, reduzir os custos com os direitos básicos/fundamentais do trabalho, fruto de um processo histórico de constitucionalização. Um dos subterfúgios utilizados tem sido a constituição fraudulenta de cooperativas de trabalho, com o fim de desnaturar um verdadeiro vínculo empregatício, onde o empregador simularia essa relação por meio de um contrato de prestação de serviço com a cooperativa de trabalho, sendo esta uma intermediária de mão-de-obra, indo contra todos os postulados axiológicos do cooperativismo. A pesquisa em tela faz uso de uma metodologia de análise qualitativa, usando-se os métodos de abordagem hipotético-dedutivos de caráter descritivo e analítico, tendo por fundo analisar os novos enunciados normativos da Lei n.º 12.690 de 2012, que veio criar o marco regulatório das cooperativas de trabalho com fito de proporcionar uma clareza na relação jurídica entre o contratante e o contratado de forma a distinguir a relação empregatícia e a relação de prestação de serviço feito por uma cooperativa, de sorte a desestimular a prática odiosa do desvirtuamento do cooperativismo.

Authors: Martínez Montenegro Isnel 
Published: March 2021

Las empresas de intermediación turística en los países receptores, adquieren la forma de compañías mercantiles. En Cuba la intermediación turística se desarrolla a través de las agencias de viajes, y la ley prohíbe otras modalidades de intermediadores. En este sentido una propuesta de quimera entre el modelo societario existente y el cooperativo pudiera contribuir al desarrollo de la comercialización de los productos turísticos, logrando una mejor gestión si se logra, además, que funcionen incorporando los principios del cooperativismo moderno.

Authors: Finkelstein Rachel J. , Parker Christopher P. , Levy Barcey T. , Carter Barry L. , Kennelty Korey 
Published: March 2021

More than 50% of Americans possess at least one chronic condition and another 25% suffer from two or more, leaving primary care teams tasked to care for the chronic, acute, and preventive care needs of their large patient panels. Pharmacists can reduce the burden on busy providers by effectively managing chronic diseases as members of health care teams. Many private physician practices lack the resources to include pharmacists on their teams. A centralized, remote clinical pharmacy services model allows pharmacists to remotely manage chronic disease in patients in collaboration with primary care providers. The purpose of this report is to describe how a centralized, remote clinical pharmacy team was developed, trained, and effectively integrated into multiple, diverse primary care settings across the U.S.

Published: March 2021

Objective: to evaluate the role and place of MRI lung screening in the detection of pneumonia and patient routing.Material and methods. 500 MRI tests were performed in the period from November 1, 2020 to December 15, 2020 on the basis of more than 20 diagnostic centers of the federal MRI-Expert network. Two groups were identified. In Group 1 (control, n = 50) MRI studies were compared with CT studies in a single time interval of 0–2 days; 25 patients had a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 and 25 patients were conditionally healthy. In Group 2 (effective, n = 450) mediastinal MRI was performed with lung screening on Philips 1.5 T and Siemens 1.5 T devices. The statistical analysis of the medical data base was performed.Results. During the study, mandatory and additional MRI scanning programs were identified: for Philips 1.5 T tomograph, the mandatory programs are sSSh_fb: tra and cor; THRIVE: tra (inhale/exhale); for Siemens 1.5 T – T2_BLADE: cor, tra, sag. When comparing the visual data of the control group (n = 25) with a positive PCR test in a single time interval of 0–2 days, the fact of detecting MR changes coincided with CT changes in 76% of cases (n = 19). The group of patients were examined by only one method – MRI-screening of the lungs (n = 475), pathological changes in the lungs were detected in 44% (n = 209). Localizations of the pathological changes were as follows: bilateral changes – 70.3% (n = 147), right-side changes – 19.6% (n = 41), left-side changes – 10% (n = 21); lower parts 26.8% (n = 26), average departments – 10% (n = 21), the upper divisions – 14.8% (n = 31), mid-lower 29.6% (n = 62), total – 18.6% (n = 39). The ranges of the area of lesion of the pulmonary parenchyma on MRI were graded according to MRI criteria into 4 groups (< 25%, 25 – 50%, 50 – 75%, > 75%). The collective radiation dose decrease was calculated for a group of patients (n = 450), which averaged 2.025 man-Sv for 1.5 months, of which 0.077 man-Sv were control studies.Conclusion. Based on the results obtained, the analyses of the possibilities of the MRI method in displaying pulmonary changes was performed. The method of MRI screening of the lungs is recognized as a possible alternative to computed tomography for dynamic monitoring in conditions of a shortage of CT records or the inability to perform it, and as a tool to reduce the collective effective dose of radiation to the population.

Authors: Fogel Nathaniel , Lee Jason T. , Bishop Julius A. 
Published: March 2021

Case:
We report the case of a 29-year-old man with a displaced mid-diaphyseal clavicle fracture that healed in anatomic position without fracture callus after surgical treatment but developed symptoms of late venous thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) 19 months postoperatively. He was diagnosed with proximal subclavian vein thrombosis and was treated with urgent thrombolysis and staged first rib resection with resolution of symptoms.

Conclusions:
Late venous TOS is a potential complication of clavicle fracture, even in the setting of anatomic reduction and primary bone healing. This entity has previously only been described in the setting of nonunion and malunion.

Published: March 2021

This study was qualitative content analysis that evaluated the quality of English for University Teaching (EUT), English for Specific Purposes (ESP), and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) textbooks through impressionistic and in-depth analysis. The participants were 9 EAP teachers and 15 EAP students from three universities in Surakarta, Indonesia. Instruments to collect data were checklist and interview guide. The checklist consisted of impressionistic analysis to see (1) cover, (2) content scope, (3) learning activities, (4) book organization, and (5) layout; and the in-depth analysis, namely (1) aim and approach, (2) organization design, language and content, (3) language skills, and (4) practical consideration. Data were collected using checklist and Focus Group Discussion. Data were analyzed through summative content analysis with seven stages: transforming data into narrative text, determining unit of analysis, developing categories, coding, coding the entire text, checking consistency of coding, and drawing conclusion. Results show EUT and ESP have low quality based on the impressionistic evaluation, and fair quality of their in-depth evaluation. Both books are register and grammar oriented. EAP textbook is good in general, and very good in depth. EAP presents its contents in terms of genre reading, academic speaking, academic reading, academic writing and grammar.
Colour vision deficiency and sputum colour charts in COPD patients: an exploratory mixed methods study
Authors: Turner Professor Alice M , Gale Nicola , Quinn Mark 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This exploratory mixed method sub-study aimed to establish the impact of colour vision deficiency (CVD) on the usability of sputum colour charts in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Participants with CVD and those with at risk of acquiring CVD were recruited for the study. Colour vision was tested using Chroma Test, which is a software program that analyses the tritan and protan colour contrast thresholds. Qualitative interviews (individual and focus groups) comprised of participants with COPD assessed for undiagnosed CVD, as well as a group with known CVD (with or without COPD). Interviews were analysed using the framework method. Refer to Protocol 1.In addition, a cross sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of CVD in The Health Improvement Network (THIN) using colour blind diagnostic read codes. A limitation of this could be failure of general practitioners to record CVD causing underreporting. Refer to Protocol 2.

Abstract
Improving the probiotic engraftment in humans requires a thorough understanding of in vivo gut-adaptive strategy of probiotics in diverse contexts. Here, we exposed the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum HNU082 (Lp082) to gut microbiota of healthy humans, mice, and zebrafish for four weeks. Independent of host choice, Lp082 established and adapted the gut by acquiring highly consistent single-nucleotide mutations, which modulated carbohydrate utilization, and acid tolerance, and significantly promoted its in vivo competitive fitness. In turn, resident gut microbial strains, especially competing strains with Lp082 (e.g. Bacteroides spp. and Bifidobacterium spp.), actively respond to Lp082 engraftment by accumulating 10-70 folds more evolutionary changes than usual. Human gut microbiota exhibited a higher ecological and genetic stability than that of mice. Collectively, the highly convergent adaptation strategy of Lp082 across host environments lay the foundation for leveraging the animal model for ex vivo engineering of probiotics for better engraftment outcomes in humans.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Background : The assessment of functional impairment is crucial both for the diagnosis and the therapeutic approach to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether the FAST is a reliable and valid tool to assess functional impairment in adults with Level 1 ASD and to study the differences in psychosocial functioning between younger and older adults with ASD. Methods : A case–control study was carried out in a sample of 150 participants, 71 adults with Level 1 ASD, and 79 adults without psychiatric history records. Results : Results showed good psychometric properties in terms of validity and reliability. Cronbach’s alpha for the total scale was .91 and the area under the curve was .98. The study also showed that adults with ASD present different profiles of functional impairment depending on their age: while younger patients present greater impairment in autonomy, older patients show more difficulties in interpersonal relationships Conclusions : Our results support the use of the FAST in the evaluation of adaptive functioning in adults with Level 1 ASD.
CDC20 as a new therapeutic target for treating ovarian cancer: an integrated bioinformatics analysis
Authors: Zhang Xiaocui , Bi Fangfang , Yang Qing 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Background: There were 313959 cases of newly diagnosed ovarian cancer (OC) and 207252 new deaths for OC in 2020 and OC lacks effective treatment options. Therefore, identifying novel therapeutic targets is imminent. Here, we use an integrated bioinformatics analysis to key genes involved in ovarian cancer and reveal potential therapeutic targets.Methods: GSE105437, GSE14407 and GSE18520 downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were used to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed to predict the potential functions of the DEGs. Protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was drawn through STRING database and select CDC20 having the highest degrees of connectivity as the potential therapeutic target. Oncomine database and quantitative Real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) of the ovarian tissues were used to validate the mRNA expression of CDC20. We use Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) software to explore the potential biological function of CDC20 in OC. Results: A total of 821 DEGs were obtained, including 497 upregulated genes and 324 downregulated genes. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses indicated the DEGs were mainly involved in DNA-binding transcription activator activity, tubulin binding, microtubule binding, cell cycle, Wnt signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, and metabolism changes. Oncomine database analysis and RT-qPCR showed that CDC20 is significantly upregulated in OC tissues. GSEA analysis showed that CDC20 may regulate OC via cell cycle, citrate and TCA cycle, Oxidative phosphorylation and ubiquitin mediated proteolysis pathways. Conclusion: The results of the present study deduced that CDC20 is overexpressed in OC and may be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of OC.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Purpose
Locking plate or screws have been used for Hoffa fractures; however, evidence to support the effectiveness of the procedure remains scarce. The present study aimed to determine the efficacy of distal femur condyle locking plate(DFCLP)alone or in combination with cannulated screws for Hoffa fractures.
Methods
In this cohort study, 13 patients with isolated Hoffa fractures were enrolled during the study period (May 2014 to February 2019) and retrospectively analyzed. Patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation by DFCLP alone or in combination with cannulated screws followed by early active rehabilitation postoperatively. The primary outcome was evaluated with Knee Society Score (KSS), the range of movement (ROM), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scoring system and the stability of the fixation site of the patients during the 24-month follow-up period.
Results
A total of 13 patients completed the 24-month follow-up assessment and achieve bone re-union at Hoffa fracture sites. The average follow-up period was 24.5months (ranging from 24 to 28 months), and the average time to healing was 3.5 months (ranging from 3 to 4 months). The mean ROM was determined as 119°, the mean KSS was 87.9, and the mean IKDC score was 84.2. It is worth mentioning that 2 patients suffered from knee joint stiffness and osteoarthritis during the 24 months follow-up. Eleven patients (84.6%) achieved satisfactory knee joint function through early postsurgical rehabilitation.
Conclusion

In patients with Hoffa fractures,
treatment with DFCLP alone or in combination with cannulated screws
followed by early active rehabilitation resulted in great stability
and satisfactory functional results after 24 months.
