Authors: Korneeva Yana , Simonova Natalia , Yurjeva Anna 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The study was carried out with the financial support of the grant of the President of the Russian Federation for state support of young Russian scientists - candidates of science (MK- 6409.2018.6). The extraction of oil, gas and other natural resources is carried out in the extreme natural and climatic conditions of the Far North and the Arctic, which causes additional difficulties in their development and ensuring the safety of the production process. People adapt differently to such conditions in different ways, which makes it necessary to take this into account when building a personnel management and labor protection system. The research aim is the development and approbation of technologies for the development of psychological readiness for shift work in the Arctic conditions for students of the Higher School of Energy, Oil and Gas to improve their adaptability, efficiency, safety and satisfaction with their work.
As methods, there were psychological training and active forms of training, as well as questionnaires, interviews and psychological testing of students. The result of this work is the developed and approved program of trainings of students of the Higher School of Energy, Oil and Gas to improve their psychological competencies. Our presentation will show the experience of training both young specialists working on the oil and gas fields, as well as students of the senior courses for a number of psychological competencies. These include: the ability to solve complex and non-standard situations during the shift period (not only professional, but also household), the development of stress resistance, increased communication skills, a change in attitude towards one's activities, increased responsibility for safety at production facilities, etc. All technologies are presented in the form of trainings and practical exercises. The presentation will also present a project for the implementation of an out- of-school scientific and practical school for students "Work on the Shift: Success and Health".
Wellness Hub Transformation: From Transactional to Holistic Care
Authors: Canon-Sacuan Kitchie , Rivera Rose 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
A healthy and empowered workforce is the backbone of every thriving organization. Shell companies in the Philippines considers its people as its main asset – its over 4,000 employees who enable the company to continuously operate critical economic assets and deliver products and services that fuel the activities of its customers and the nation.
Thus, Shell makes it a priority to foster a workplace that is nurturing and where employees can perform to their full potential. Guided by the results of the Shell People Survey, an annual survey that determines the pulse of the Shell employees, as well as feedback from face-to-face business engagements and ad hoc medical consultations, Shell Health develops strategic interventions to promote employee welfare.
One of the initiatives borne out of this need was the transformation of its clinics to Wellness Hubs – centers of care that offer a personalized and holistic approach to employee wellness, deviating from the traditional and transactional style of rendering health services. This transformation stems from the recognition of Shell employees’ preference for customized approaches.
To date, this effort has translated to improved personal engagements and follow-through, recording 74% uptake of Wellness Talk during medical interpretation visits versus 21% previous. Further, 68% of Shell Philippines employees have committed to health targets, versus 5% previous, and among those with committed targets, 19% successfully achieved their health targets within 3-6 months. There is now 100% reach to employees based in remote locations, versus 50% previous reach, and 93% of them have committed to health target versus previous 10% health target commitment.
Global Travels in the Oil Industry: Managing Threats and Risks Through Orientation and Scenario Monitoring

Published: April 2019

Abstract
The Oil industry is present in several segments and services spread all over the world. Although Petrobras operates predominantly in Brazil, its headquarters, it does business and operates in virtually every continent on the planet. Consequently, its professionals move to the most distant and remote places, where, in general, there is no local support from the Company. Thus, there are more challenges and complexities inherent to Petrobras’ corporate travels, as well as the likelihood of incidents is higher. Given the accelerated growth in travel demands and the consequent increase in employees traveling around the world, it was necessary to develop a dedicated internal process for international travel control. The process includes guidance to employees on security aspects before, during and after the travel, mitigation actions and support to employees at risk, as well as a channel for integration with other areas related to travel security. This article reflects the company's cultural change in reinforcing its commitment to life and safety, by creating a process and assigning a team dedicated to the care of travelers abroad, and identifies the need for improvement in parallel processes in order to improve their integration, the monitoring of scenarios and of external environments. The data that supports the article also supports the thesis that all the work of transforming the process and investing in prevention and guidance to employees only with the differential of internal production and adaptation to the Company's culture is feasible with low cost. This article reinforces the need to align travel security activities with the culture of the company and its employees so both can speak the same language and not create cultural gaps.
Single-cell transcriptomics reveals spatial and temporal turnover of keratinocyte differentiation regulators

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background: Keratinocyte differentiation requires intricately coordinated spatiotemporal expression changes that specify epidermis structure and function.

Results: This paper utilizes single-cell RNA-seq data from 22,338 human foreskin keratinocytes to reconstruct the transcriptional regulation of skin development and homeostasis genes, organizing them by differentiation stage and also into transcription factor (TF)-associated modules. We identify groups of TFs characterized by coordinate expression changes during progression from the undifferentiated basal to the differentiated state and show that these TFs also have concordant differential predicted binding enrichment in the super-enhancers previously reported to turn over between the two states. The identified TFs form a core subset of the regulators controlling gene modules essential for basal and differentiated keratinocyte functions, supporting their nomination as master coordinators of keratinocyte differentiation. Experimental depletion of the TFs ZBED2 and ETV4, both predicted to promote the basal state, induces differentiation. Furthermore, our single-cell RNA expression analysis reveals preferential expression of antioxidant genes in the basal state, suggesting keratinocytes actively suppress reactive oxygen species to maintain the undifferentiated state. Finally, we perform in-silico lineage tracing demonstrating transcriptomic correspondence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) to a basal keratinocyte subpopulation and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to a rapidly proliferating stage that is intermediate between the basal and differentiated cell states, implicating distinct candidate cells of origin for these cancers.

Conclusion: Our work demonstrates diverse computational methods integrating single-cell and bulk RNA expression data to advance our understanding of dynamic gene regulation in normal development and in disease.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major public health concern worldwide. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are an important source of transmission of MRSA. We conducted a prospective study to define the frequency of MRSA nasal colonization in HCWs in relation to the intensity of patient contact.

Methods: Prevalence of MRSA and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) nasal colonization in HCWs was compared. These included an emergency department, intensive care unit, out-of-hospital care emergency medical technicians and students, and a long-term care facility (LTCF). The MRSA isolates were further identified by their microbiological and molecular characteristics.

Results: S. aureus was isolated from 63 of 248 HCWs (25.4%). The overall MRSA nasal carriage rate was 15/248, 6%. Most MRSA carriers were female (14/15, 93.3%), and HCWs who had worked for ≥5 years (11/15, 73.3%). LTCFs had the highest prevalence (3/25, 12%). In contrast, the overall carriage of MSSA was 48/248, 19.4%, and most carriers worked for ≥5 years (25/48, 52.1%). Hospital nurses had the highest rate of MSSA carriage (22/103, 21.4%). Most of the MRSA isolates were SCCmec IV/ST59 or ST45 (60%), and were resistant to erythromycin and clindamycin (53%). Only one MRSA was chlorhexidine resistant. All produced low level of biofilms.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates important differences in the characteristics of nasal carriage of MRSA and MSSA among HCWs. Inclusion of all strains of S. aureus in surveillance and infection control programs is warranted.

Abstract
Background. It is of great public health significance to monitor the global meiosis mother-to-child transmission plan proposed by WHO and monitor the prevalence of maternal syphilis and the factors affecting mother-to-child transmission.
Methods. We collected 271 medical records of prenatally diagnosed (from 87286 pregnant women) of syphilis among pregnant women a maternity hospital in Jilin Province China from 2013 to 2017. The chi-square test and Logistic multiple regression analysis were used to describe the clinical characteristics of pregnant women with syphilis and the related factors of adverse pregnancy outcome.
Results. The average prevalence of maternal syphilis is 0.31% (95%[CI]: 0.27%-0.35%). The mean age of 271 pregnant women with syphilis is 27.62±5.4 years old. The maternal syphilis prevalence of absence of paid occupation is 73.8%; rural population accounts for 43.6%. Maternal women with a history of abortion accounted for 43.1%, of which 53.1% had abortion ≥2; The average rate of treatment in pregnancy is 25.5% (95%[CI]: 25.4%-25.6%). The prevalence rate of APOs are 43.9% (95%[CI]: 38.1%-49.9%), declined in five years (P<0.05). APOs was significantly higher in women at 30–34 age group than that in 0-24 age group (OR= 2.916, 95%CI: 1.298-6.549) and higher in Un-treatment in pregnancy than that in receive treatment (OR=2.469, 95%CI:1.225-4.975). PROM occurrence (OR=2.702, 95%CI:1.219-5.988); CRP elevation (≥10 mg/L) and RPR high titer (≥1:8) are related to the occurrence of APOs. Abortion, prematurity and low birth weight are associated with no treatment during pregnancy (P<0.05). Comparison of 42 cases of pregnancy-induced hypertension and non-pregnancy-induced hypertension, Dysmenorrhea (OR= 3.654, 95%CI:1.812-7.369) and elevated urine protein (OR= 2.259, 95%CI:1.161-4.394) are the influencing factors of maternal syphilis complicated with pregnancy-induced hypertension.
Conclusions. The prevalence of maternal syphilis in northern China is lower than that of 10 years ago, but the decline is still lower than that in the economically developed regions of the south. The rate of non-treatment of syphilis during pregnancy is high, and should be alert to the rebound of maternal syphilis.
Dynamics of the impacts of Pratylenchus penetrans on Gisela® cherry rootstocks
Authors: Forge Thomas , Neilsen Denise , Neilsen Gerry , Blatt Suzanne 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Sweet cherry growers are increasingly using semi-dwarfing rootstocks, including the Gisela® series, when replanting orchards. Little is known of the susceptibility of these new cherry rootstocks to Pratylenchus penetrans, a recognized pest of temperate fruit trees worldwide. Two field experiments were planted in 2010, one in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia and one in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. Each experiment was a factorial combination of three rootstocks (Gi.3, Gi.5, and Gi.6) × three training systems, with six replicate four-tree plots of each of the nine combinations. Both sites were fumigated prior to planting and population densities of P. penetrans in roots and root-zone soil were subsequently monitored from 2013 through 2017. None of the P. penetrans population parameters (nematodes/kg soil, nematodes/g fine root, and nematodes/kg soil including roots) differed among rootstocks at either site, suggesting that the rootstocks did not differ in their ability to host P. penetrans. At the British Columbia site only there was an inverse relationship between P. penetrans population densities and tree size for Gi.3 trees in four years and for Gi.6 in 2017, suggesting that Gi.3 rootstock is less tolerant than Gi.5 and Gi.6 rootstocks.

Published: April 2019

Water movement over and through soil is largely driven by topography and soil management across landscapes. This research tested the hypothesis that the water movement determines the potential for P and Ca redistribution and pH variance across landscapes. This hypothesis was evaluated by using digital elevation model‐derived terrain attributes in fields after 55 yr of broiler litter applications on pastures in Smith County, Mississippi. Results show that soils receiving broiler litter had mean Mehlich‐3 P levels of 1221.8 mg kg−1 at 0‐ to 15‐cm depth and 618.6 mg kg−1 at 15‐ to 30‐cm depth, and Ca with mean values of 768.3 and 645.0 mg kg−1 at 0‐ to 15‐cm and 15‐ to 30‐cm soil depths, respectively. Across fields, soils in areas of predicted convergent flow contained higher P, Ca, and lower pH values in the upper 0 to 15 cm, suggesting contributions via surface overland flow from areas with higher elevation and lower slope gradient. On the other hand, soils in areas with lesser slope and higher elevation also contained high levels of P, Ca, and pH for the subsurface soil depth, suggesting that vertical flow of water on this landscape is a mechanism for movement of P and Ca deeper in the profile. The incorporation of topographic characteristics across fields offers promising results that may be incorporated into improved P indices and management, making them more robust indicators of P mobilization to waterways.Core Ideas
Overland and vertical water flow is a mechanism for redistribution of P and Ca.
The selected terrain attribute model provides insight for landscape nutrient distribution.
Terrain attribute knowledge helps sampling and targeting best management practices.

Authors: El Ashry El Sayed H. , Ramadan El Sayed , Amer Mohammed R. , El Kilany Yeldez , Badawy Mohamed E. I. , Rabea Entsar I. 
Published: April 2019

Objective:
5-Amino-2-alkyl/glycosylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazoles have been synthesized by the reaction of
5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol with a variety of alkylating agents or glycosyl halides in the presence of
anhydrous potassium carbonate in dry acetone.

Methods:
The structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been established based on their spectral
data (FT-IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR) and mass spectrometry. They were tested for their antioxidant behaviour by
the use of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method. The in silico
pharmacokinetics ADME properties of the potent antioxidant compounds were investigated by using Accelrys
Discovery Studio (DS) 2.5 software.

Results and Conclusion:
Regioselective alkylation and glycosylation of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol
were noticed during its reaction with alkylating agents and glycosyl halides. Alkylating agents gave the Sfunctionalized
derivatives, while the acetylated glycosyl halides afforded the S-glycosylated products together
with their respective N-acetyl derivatives. The benzoylated glycosyl halide behaved in a different manner and
gave N-glycoside analogue of 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2(3H)-thione, in addition to the expected sulfanyl S-glycoside.
Most of the synthesized compounds showed noticeable antioxidant activity with respect to ceftriaxone as a
standard drug. Some of the most active compounds showed acceptable predicted pharmacokinetics and druglikeness
properties.
Determination of Inorganic Element Concentrations in Nardostachys jatamansi DC
Authors: Jin Qian , Li Ying , Qun Pei , Xiang Haiyan , Yin Qiaozhi , Liu Yuan 
Published: April 2019

Background::
Nardostachys jatamansi DC. is indigenous to the Himalayan regions of India
and Tibetan plateau of China, and widely used as drugs for treating various neurological disorders, insomnia,
hysteria and depressive illness. However, beyond the huge efforts to the organic components in
N. jatamansi, the elemental contents have not been investigated, which are important for the quality
control and biosafety evaluation of N. jatamansi.

Objective::
In this study, we quantified the element concentrations in N. jatamansi.

Methods::
Twenty-five N. jatamansi samples were collected in Sichuan, Tibet, Qinghai and Gansu provinces.
The samples were digested and subjected to inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer
(ICP-OES) measurements.

Results::
The results indicated that Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pd, Si, Sr,
Ti and Zn were detected in N. jatamansi samples. The chemometrics approaches indicated that N. jatamansi
samples from Sichuan and Tibet shared similar elemental patterns. The altitude did not statistically
influence the elemental patterns of N. jatamansi samples, while the K, P, Ba and Cd showed meaningful
decreases. The high Ba contents in all samples suggested the potential toxicity of heavy metal to
patients.

Conclusion::
The inorganic element quantification of N. jatamansi is useful in the genuine regional drug
identification, quality control and biosafety evaluations.
Borderland and Borderline: Understanding and Treating Adolescent Migrants in Crisis
Authors: Streeck-Fischer Annette 
Published: April 2019

Background::
Much of the literature on adolescent refugees has focused on their
experiences of trauma, and trauma-focused psychotherapy has been emphasized. In addition
to having experienced trauma, adolescents with refugee or migration backgrounds are confronted
with distinct challenges in the process of identity formation. These problems result
from the normal processes of identity formation and restructuring during adolescence (the socalled
second individuation phase) complicated by their transition from their culture of origin
to the new culture. This process has been called a third individuation phase. These teenagers
live on the border between two worlds and are called borderland adolescents.

Method::
This paper describes the developmental processes of young migrants, using case
examples to illustrate how the migrant experience affects development, particularly identity
development.

Discussion::
Splitting, which is part of normal adolescent development, also occurs during the
process of adaptation to a new culture. Although the process of splitting can support the integration
into the new culture, it can also lead to dangerous polarization with borderline features. It is
important to take this into account in psychotherapeutic work with borderland adolescents.
