Published: July 2021

INTRODUCTION:
The clinical management of chronic cough patients is challenging, and their response to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is considered as unsatisfactory. Few data concerning the association between impedance-pH variables and PPI response in these patients are available. Mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) and postreflux swallow-induced peristaltic wave (PSPW) index increase the diagnostic yield of impedance-pH in gastroesophageal reflux disease.

METHODS:
Demographic, clinical, and endoscopy findings; impedance-pH; and high-resolution manometry tracings from consecutive patients assessed for cough were evaluated. Univariable and multivariable regression models were generated to evaluate the association between impedance-pH and high-resolution manometry findings, endoscopic and clinical characteristics, and PPI response.

RESULTS:
A total of 178 patients were included. Eighty-four of 178 cough patients (47.2%) displayed grade C-D erosive esophagitis or were characterized by a pathological acid exposure time (AET) and/or positive symptom association probability/symptom index. When also considering MNBI and PSPW, 135 of 178 patients (75.8%) were characterized by the evidence of reflux disease (P < 0.001). Eighty patients (44.9%) had cough responding to PPIs, whereas 98 (55.1%) were nonresponders (P = 0.071). At the receiver operating characteristic analysis, both PSPW index and MNBI were associated to PPI responsiveness. MNBI and PSPW index showed higher sensitivity in predicting PPI response compared with AET and symptom association probability/symptom index. The area under the curves of MNBI and PSPW index were significantly higher than that of AET (P < 0.01 for both comparisons). When patients were stratified according to AET and excluding those with erosive esophagitis, pathological MNBI or PSPW index, hiatal hernia, and hypomotility features were associated to PPI response in all groups.

DISCUSSION:
Our results demonstrate the usefulness of an up-front esophageal testing in discriminating reflux-related cough patients and predicting PPI response.
Identifying the density of grassland fire points with kernel density estimation based on spatial distribution characteristics

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Understanding the risk of grassland fire occurrence associated with historical fire point events is critical for implementing effective management of grasslands. This may require a model to convert the fire point records into continuous spatial distribution data. Kernel density estimation (KDE) can be used to represent the spatial distribution of grassland fire occurrences and decrease the influences historical records in point format with inaccurate positions. The bandwidth is the most important parameter because it dominates the amount of variation in the estimation of KDE. In this study, the spatial distribution characteristic of the points was considered to determine the bandwidth of KDE with the Ripley’s K function method. With high, medium, and low concentration scenes of grassland fire points, kernel density surfaces were produced by using the kernel function with four bandwidth parameter selection methods. For acquiring the best maps, the estimated density surfaces were compared by mean integrated squared error methods. The results show that Ripley’s K function method is the best bandwidth selection method for mapping and analyzing the risk of grassland fire occurrence with the dependent or inaccurate point variable, considering the spatial distribution characteristics.
The Legal Interpellation of Citizens – A Constitutional Analysis
Authors: Behrens Kathrin 
Published: July 2021

AbstractThe aim of this article is to reconstruct the legal creation of citizen subjects by applying the interpellation theory of Louis Althusser in constitutional citizenship regulations. In addition, this article uncovers the patterns of constitutionally defined rights and duties as implications of intra-constitutional subject construction, especially in relation to a political, a civil and a social dimension. For this purpose, 41 constitutions are analysed quantitatively-descriptively based on an international comparative qualitative document analysis. The study shows that constitutions, as the most fundamental legal documents at the national level, define different formal-legal qualities of citizen subjects and thus determine very specific relations between the state and its citizens. The legal citizenship regulations in national constitutions thus contribute to the stabilization of social (b)order-drawing processes to the extent that they create and secure both barriers and opportunities for individual and collective participation in society, addressing these primarily through a political and less through a civil or social legal dimension.

Published: July 2021

Stallion sperm membranes comprise a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, making stallion spermatozoa especially vulnerable to peroxidative damage from reactive oxygen species generated as a by-product of cell metabolism. Membrane lipid replacement therapy with glycerophospholipid (GPL) mixtures has been shown to reduce oxidative damage in vitro and in vivo. The aims of this study were to test the effects of a commercial preparation of GPL, NTFactor® Lipids, on stallion spermatozoa under oxidative stress. When oxidative damage was induced by the addition of arachidonic acid to stallion spermatozoa, the subsequent addition of GPL reduced the percentage of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE; a key end product of lipid peroxidation) positive cells (32.9 ± 2.7 vs 20.9 ± 2.3%; P ≤ 0.05) and increased the concentration of 4-HNE within the spent media (0.026 ± 0.003 vs 0.039 ± 0.004 µg/mL; P ≤ 0.001), suggesting that oxidized lipids had been replaced by exogenous GPL. Lipid replacement improved several motility parameters (total motility: 2.0 ± 1.0 vs 68.8 ± 2.9%; progressive motility: 0 ± 0 vs 19.3 ± 2.6%; straight line velocity: 9.5 ± 2.1 vs 50.9 ± 4.1 µm/s; curvilinear velocity: 40.8 ± 10 vs 160.7 ± 7.8 µm/s; average path velocity: 13.4 ± 2.9 vs 81.9 ± 5.9 µm/s; P ≤ 0.001), sperm viability (13.5 ± 2.9 vs 80.2 ± 1.6%; P ≤ 0.001) and reduced mitochondrial ROS generation (98.2 ± 0.6 vs 74.8 ± 6.1%; P ≤ 0.001). Supplementation with GPL during 17°C in vitro sperm storage over 72 h improved sperm viability (66.4 ± 2.6 vs 78.1 ± 2.9%; P ≤ 0.01) and total motility (53 ± 5.6 vs 66.3 ± 3.5%; P ≤ 0.05). It is concluded that incubation of stallion spermatozoa with sub-µm-sized GPL micelles results in the incorporation of exogenous GPL into sperm membranes, diminishing lipid peroxidation and improving sperm quality in vitro.

Lay summary
Sperm collection and storage is an important step in many artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization regimes for several species, including humans and horses. The sperm membrane, which acts as a protective outer barrier, is made up of fatty acid-containing molecules – called phospholipids. These phospholipids may become damaged by waste products generated by the cell, such as hydrogen peroxide, during non-chilled sperm storage. We aimed to determine if sperm cells were able to repair this membrane damage by supplementing them with phospholipids during non-chilled storage. Sperm was collected from five miniature stallions by artificial vagina, and then supplemented with phospholipids during 72 h sperm storage at 17°C. Our studies show that when stallion sperm are supplemented with phospholipids in vitro, they are able to remove their damaged membrane phospholipids and swap them for undamaged ones, aiding in resistance to cellular waste and improving cell health and potential fertility.
Recent developments and knowledge in pseudocereals including technological aspects

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Amaranth, buckwheat, quinoa, and less known, canihua are the most important pseudocereals. Their high nutritional value is well recognized and they are increasingly used for the development of a wide range of starch-based foods, which has been fostered by intensified research data performed in recent years. In addition to health driven motivations, also environmental aspects like the ongoing climate change are an important stimulus to increase agricultural biodiversity again. As pseudocereals are botanically classified as dicotyledonous plants their chemical, physical and processing properties differ significantly from the monocotyledonous cereals. Most important factors that need to be addressed for processing is their smaller seed kernel size, their specific starch structure and granule architecture, their gluten-free protein, but also their dietary fibre and secondary plant metabolites composition. This review gives a condensed overview of the recent developments and gained knowledge with special attention to the technological and food processing aspects of these pseudocereals.

Authors: Spodoba M.O. , Zablodskiy М.М. 
Published: July 2021

Purpose. Investigation of the dependence of the energy consumption of mechanical mixers and determination of an energy-efficient type of mixing device to increase the energy efficiency of the biogas formation process and the profitability of further processing into thermal and electrical energy.
Methodology. Determination and analysis of energy costs for mechanical mixers, comparison and determination of their energy consumption in the process of biogas formation, generalization of the results.
Findings. Biogas technologies play an important role in the formation of a modern energy system. The profitability of which directly depends on the energy efficiency of the processes of intensification of anaerobic fermentation. The process of anaerobic fermentation of waste is long, so one of the main methods of intensification of biogas production is the mixing of waste during anaerobic fermentation. Despite the large number of different types of mixing devices and systems, the main task of mixing is to create a homogeneous substance with the same temperature, acidity and other physicochemical components at any point in the volume of the substance. There is a need to increase the energy efficiency of the processes of intensification of anaerobic fermentation and the profitability of further processing of biogas into heat and electricity. Ways to improve energy efficiency are in certain dependences of the energy consumption of mechanical mixers, the choice of an energy-efficient type of mixer, certain criteria that significantly affect the consumption of electrical energy for mixing, the study of the vectors of propagation of flows created by the mixer. The implementation of these actions will allow you to establish the optimal geometric dimensions of the mixer and significantly increase the energy efficiency of biogas plants and further processing of the resulting biogas into thermal and electrical energy.
Originality. The analysis of the reasons for different values of the Euler criterion for mechanical mixers is carried out with the same mode of the substance motion, its level and volume in the tank and other equal parameters. A comparative analysis of energy costs for the most common types of mechanical mixers in biogas reactors is carried out. It has been established that the use of a two-tier paddle mixer, which has two blades per tier, requires the least amount of energy to mix waste in a biogas reactor with a volume .
Practical value. The data presented in this paper can be used in the design, construction and modernization of biogas plants. The direction of necessary further scientific researches is determined, the realization of which will increase the energy efficiency of biogas production and the profitability of further processing of biogas into thermal and electric energy.
Re-imagining the dialogic spaces of talanoa through Samoan onto-epistemology
Authors: Matapo Jacoba , Enari Dion 
Published: July 2021

This article proposes a Samoan indigenous philosophical position to reconceptualise the dialogic spaces of talanoa; particularly how talanoa is applied methodologically to research practice. Talanoa within New Zealand Pacific research scholarship is problematised, raising particular tensions of the universal and humanistic ideologies that are entrenched within institutional ethics and research protocols. The dialogic relational space which is embedded throughout talanoa methodology is called into question, evoking alternative ways of knowing and being within the talanoa research assemblage[1] (including the material-world). Samoan epistemology reveals that nature is constituted within personhood (Vaai & Nabobo-Baba, 2017) and that nature is co-agentic with human in an ecology of knowing. We call for a shift in thinking material-ethics that opens talanoa to a materialist process ontology, where knowledge generation emerges through human and non-human encounters.

[1] The concept of assemblage developed by Deleuze and Guattari (1987) refers to a process of temporary arrangements or constellations of objects, expressions, bodies, qualities and territories that create new ways of functioning. The assemblage is a multiplicity shaped by a wide range of flows and emerges from the arranging process of heterogenous elements (Livesey, 2010).

Marketing -as a social discipline that outlines cultural traits- involves a series of new social players in constant change who affix new concepts to the construction of the culture of consumption, its evolution and behavior. Understanding this and reaching an improved and complete holistic vision of the factors that affect consumers’ purchase decisions (Rehman, 2017) and their influence on marketing as a social phenomenon results in a field that has been and must be explored from the outskirts in scientific papers, such as the structured review “Consumer culture theory: Development, critique, application and prospects” by Arnould, Press, Salminen, & Tillotson (2019) who validate the need to research and disseminate findings in this area of knowledge in a book that provides a rigorous literature update due to the fact that it proposes interesting journeys through different approaches in order to understand consumption culture’s studies.

Además de artista plástico, Luis Alberto Acuña fue escritor, dos actividades que Diego Carrizosa, el autor de este libro, considera detenidamente para revelarnos que no fueron oficios autónomos, como podría pensarse, sino complementarios.
El historiador Acuña, uno de los primeros en estudiar el arte de los Chibcha en sus diversas manifestaciones, desde los petroglifos hasta la alfarería pasando por el textil y la cerámica, alimentó, con sus escritos, los temas que el pintor Acuña desarrolló en lienzos y muros de grandes dimensiones. El artista se había empeñado, nos recuerda Carrizosa, en exaltar asuntos de importancia nacional que habían sido relegados por las generaciones anteriores, por no decir menospreciados.
