Section «Lam-rim» of tibetan literature collection "Choira". Oriental manuscripts and xylographs center IMBTS SB RAS
Authors: Bazarov A. A. 
Published: October 2019

The article discusses the “additional” course of Buddhist education lam-rim, which was taught in the monasteries of Northwest China, Mongolia and Transbaikalia (19th – early 20th centuries). The databases of the Buddhist scholastic collection “Choira” of the Center of Oriental manuscripts and xylographs in the Institute of Mongolian Studies, Buddhology and Tibetology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IMSBT SO RAN), as well as traditional bibliographic handbooks – “garchaks”, make it possible to understand that the texts of lam-rims are an integral part of the Buddhist book culture of this region. Our analysis has demonstrated that the study of this scholastic subject in the monasteries of Northwest China, Mongolia and Transbaikalia (19th – beginning 20th centuries) was based on a variedTibetan Buddhist literature from fundamental works of Indian classics to popular works of local scholastics. It is also necessary to emphasize that if to compare this section (lam-rim) of Tibetan scholastic literature “Choira” (in IMBT SB RAS) with the other sections (Pramana, Prajna-Paramita, Madhyamika Vinaya, Abhidharma) we find that the largest number of works of local authors are found in lam-rim. An important result of the research is the historical fact that the books of the Buryat monastic printing houses (Aga, Tsugol, Egita, Ana datsans of Trans-Baikal region) make it possible to understand the level of development of lam-rims literature in this region (19th – beginning 20th centuries) in the field of writing and publishing scholastic works in Northwest China, Mongolia and Transbaikalia. The study of authorship of lamrim texts stored in the IMBT SB RAS can confirm that, thanks to the works of representatives of these cross-border regions, a kind of Renaissance of Tibetan scholasticism took place in the Buddhist culture of the entire Inner Asia. A special role in this process was played by the Amdo, Mongolian and Buryat monasteries. It may be assumed that representatives of the historical Amdo region (the territory where Tibetans and Mongols lived together), Mongolia and Transbaikalia in these centuries created a culture of mass writing of Buddhist educational and philosophical literature.
Library as «the third place»: realization of the concept
Authors: Kryazheva M. F. , Shakirova E. S. 
Published: October 2019

The concept of «third place», formulated by R. Oldenburg, can be used as one of the tools for a library transformation. «The third place» is a multifunctional public space, that provides opportunities for intellectual and cultural communication, creativity, self-development and self-expression, a place where one wants to be and wants to return («the first place» according to this concept is home, «the second place» – work or study). The purpose of this article is to consider the concept of «the third place» in the context of its realization in the library and information sphere in Tumen (Russia). Various relevant documents regulating the work of libraries (first of all – public libraries) contain positions confirming the interrelation of library and information activity with the concept of «the third place». Many characteristics of «the third places» («humanitarian», technical and technological, etc.) determine the direction of work of libraries at the modern stage. For the study several similar characteristics were chosen: accessibility, locality; openness to all social categories; the possibility for leisure, entertainment; comfort, ease of interaction. The method of survey with elements of the semantic differential was used. The respondents were the users of the Information and library center for youth (Tyumen, Russia). The research was to identify the degree of severity of these characteristics in library.The results of survey analysis allow the confirmation that the activity of the Information and library center for youth corresponds to the characteristics of «the third place». Librarians work on their integration and development constantly. Also they preserve the major, document-information, content of activity of libraries.The concept of «the third place» is not the only option for the development of each library, but it provides the possibility of using a certain set of conceptual characteristics as a working tool for library and information activity.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Objective: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is known as a crucial zoonotic foodborne pathogen. A total of 257 raw chicken meat samples were collected from different markets in Hamadan, west of Iran, from January 2016 to May 2017. The samples were cultured on selective and differential culture media and the virulence genes of E. coli isolates were analyzed by PCR assay. The antibiotic resistance patterns of E. coli isolates were determined by the disk diffusion method. The genetic relatedness of the E. coli O157 isolates was analyzed by ERIC-PCR.
Results: In total, 93 (36%) of the isolates were identified as E. coli in this study. Based on serological and microbiological tests, 36 (38.7%), 7 (7.5%), and 12 (12.9%) of the E. coli isolates were characterized as STEC, Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), and attaching and effacing E. coli (AEEC) strains, respectively. A high level of resistance to nalidixic acid (91.4%), tetracycline (89.8), ampicillin (82.8%), and sulfametoxazole-trimotoprime (71%) was detected among the E. coli isolates. The analysis of the ERIC-PCR results showed five different ERIC types among the E. coli O157 isolates. Based on our findings, control and check-up of poultry meats should be considered as a crucial issue for public health.

Abstract
Background: To determine corneal Q value and its related factors in cataract patients. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China. In all, this study enrolled 121 eligible eyes of 121 cataract patients. The corneal Q values of anterior and posterior surfaces were measured in central 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 mm zone using the Sirius System. Age and gender were recorded. Cataract was diagnosed using slit-lamp examination. Results: The average Q value of the anterior surface in 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 mm zone were 0.09±0.42, 0.02±0.27, -0.04±0.20 and -0.11±0.17, respectively. The average Q value of the posterior surface in 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 mm zone were 0.02±0.81, -0.28±0.56, -0.37±0.43, -0.41±0.30, respectively. The Q values of the anterior surface at 6.0 mm zone and the posterior surface in 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 mm zone were statistically significant (p<0.05) across different age groups. The Q values of the posterior surfaces in 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 mm zone were statistically significant (p<0.05) between the male and the female groups. The Q values of the anterior surface in the 6.0 mm zone were positively correlated with Z40 cornea (Pearson correlation =0.796, p<0.001), Z40 CF (Pearson correlation =0.840, p<0.001), Z33,-3 CF (Pearson correlation =0.236, p=0.009) and total corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) (Pearson correlation =0.305, p<0.001); While the Q values of the posterior surface in the 6.0 mm zone were negatively correlated with Z31,-1 cornea (Pearson correlation =-0.212, p=0.019), Z33,-3 cornea (Pearson correlation =-0.179, p=0.049), Z33,-3 CF (Pearson correlation =-0.190, p=0.037), Z31,-1 CB (Pearson correlation =-0.534, p<0.001), Z40 CB (Pearson correlation =-0.878, p<0.001) and total corneal HOAs (Pearson correlation =-0.220, p=0.015). Conclusions: There were great individual differences between the corneal Q values of the cataract patients. Age, sex and HOAs seemed to be correlated with the Q values.

Abstract
Background Malaria remains a serious concern in most African countries, causing nearly one million deaths globally every year. The review aims to examine the extent and nature of the resurgence of malaria prevalence in South Africa.Method Using the Arksey and O'Malley framework, this scoping review included articles published between the year 2015 and 2018 on the resurgence of malaria prevalence in South Africa. Articles were searched from October 2018 to January 2019 using these electronic databases: CINAHL, Pubmed, Science Direct and SCOPUS. Grey literature from Google Scholar was also hand searched. Key search terms and subject headings such as climate variables; climate changes; climatic factors; malaria resurgence; malaria reoccurrence, and malaria increase over epidemic regions in South Africa were used to identify relevant articles. Articles for selection and characterization were performed by three independent reviewers. Data collected were synthesized qualitatively.Results A total number of 748 studies were identified. Among these, 24 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results were grouped by factors (four main themes) that influenced the malaria resurgence: Climatic, Epidemiological, Socio-economic, and Environmental factors. Climatic factors were found to be the major factor responsible for the resurgence of malaria, as more than 55% of the selected articles were climate focused. This was followed by epidemiological, socio-economic and environmental factors, in that order. Grey literature from Google Scholar yielded no results.Conclusion This study shows that malaria transmission in South Africa is more associated with climate. Climate-based malaria models could be used as early warning systems of malaria over the epidemic regions in South Africa. Since epidemiological factors also play significant roles in the transmission, regular and unrelaxed use of indoor residual spraying (IRS) should be encouraged in these regions. While some studies have indicated that vectors have developed resistance to insecticides, continuous research on developing new insecticides that could alter the resistance are ongoing. Individuals should also be educated on the importance and the usefulness of these deliveries. Furthermore, all efforts to eradicate malaria in South Africa must also target the epidemic neighbouring countries.
Comparative transcriptome analysis of sweet sorghum provides insights into new lncRNAs acting as ceRNAs during salt responses
Authors: Sun Xi , Zheng Hongxiang , Li Jinlu , Sui Na 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
LncRNAs can act as competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to competitively bind miRNAs, thereby indirectly regulating the transcription levels of other RNA transcripts to confer resistance to plants. But how specific ceRNAs respond to salt stress in sweet sorghum is still unclear. In this study, 126 and 133 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified in salt-tolerant sweet sorghum (M-81E) and a salt-sensitive line (Roma) by high-throughput RNA-seq, respectively. And five new lncRNAs were identified in M-81E and Roma after salt stress treatment, lncRNA13472, lncRNA11310, lncRNA2846, lncRNA26929 and lncRNA14798 acted as ceRNAs to regulate the expression of target genes related to salt resistance by binding the five miRNAs sbi-MIR169b-p3, sbi-MIR5567-p3-2ss16CT17TC, sbi-MIR5567-p5-2, sbi-MIR5567-p5-2ss17CT18TC and PC-3p-270284-34, respectively. The target genes mainly included proton pump proteins, transport proteinsantioxidants, signal transduction proteins and transcription factors. However M-81E had more complex ceRNAs network than in Roma, which might be related with its different salt tolerance. In summary, this study identified a new ceRNA network within the transcriptome and revealed the effect of lncRNAs in the salt stress response.
Combining hydro-economic and water quality modeling for optimal management of a degraded watershed
Authors: Alamanos Angelos , Latinopoulos Dionysios , Xenarios Stefanos , Tziatzios Georgios , Mylopoulos Nikitas , Loukas Athanasios 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Increase of economic and productivity efficiencies intensifies environmental pressures, too. Agriculture is one of the most common examples of this phenomenon. The sector is lacking proper management, which is especially prominent in Mediterranean areas. To address the situation, a holistic modeling approach, combining hydrological, economic and water quality aspects, is recommended for implementation in a Greek watershed. The broader area is degraded regarding its water availability, quality, and management. The model provides insights into water balance, net profit from agricultural activities, presents water quality data from simulations, and introduces two useful parameters informing the decision-maker's knowledge and understanding: the deficit irrigation water's value and a hydro-economic index which estimates (socio-)economic benefits over environmental balance. A combined demand-management plan is also examined considering the above outputs in investigating the multiple effects of the suggested policy measures. Furthermore, to discuss the optimal approach depending on data availability and scope, we compare two different settings of the proposed model. The results of the study confirmed the continuous quantitative and qualitative water resources' deterioration and economic overexploitation of the watershed. The study reveals the immediate need for management actions, integrated modeling approaches, and provides future recommendations on hydro-economic modeling.
Influence of wall atomizer to condensation rate in flashing purification
Authors: Sonawan Hery , Nurhidayat Dendi , Saefudin Haris 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This paper presents an experimental study of wall atomizer usage in flashing purification. The water jet bursts out of the nozzle and hit the wall atomizer, splits into particles and evaporates until it finally condenses. The effectiveness of water particle evaporation influences the condensate volume. In this paper, improvements were more focused on how to generate water particles by applying a wall atomizer in a flashing chamber. The more water particles were created, the better the evaporation and condensation rate. Flashing purification experiments were conducted by following the factorial design method. From the first experiment design, an optimum condensate volume was obtained at a specified folding width of wall atomizer and feedwater pressure; meanwhile, vacuum pressure and feedwater temperature were kept constant. Three different folding widths of 5mm, 8mm and 12mm were tested in this experiment. The second experiments were continued by varying feedwater temperature at an optimum atomizer folding width to obtain more condensate volume. Wall atomizer usage in flashing purification has been proved to increase condensation rate or condensate volume. The highest condensate volume of 150.2ml was obtained from 8mm atomizer folding width with a variable combination of 2.0 bar-g feedwater pressure, a vacuum pressure of −53 cmHg and feedwater temperature of 70 °C. This result was in line with the theory that states that the presence of a wall atomizer increases water particles. There was even an atomizer folding width that provided an optimum condensate volume. The use of an atomizer folding width of less and more than 8mm produced lower condensate volume. At 5mm atomizer folding width, condensate volumes were 24.6ml and 22.0ml, whereas 12mm atomizer folding width produced 48.9ml and 50.3ml.
Role of evaporation in NH4-N transformations in soils artificially contaminated with blackwater
Authors: Rao Sudhakar M. , Mogili Nitish V. , Arkenadan Lydia 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The study examines the impact of evaporation on the fate of ammonium-N reactions in blackwater-contaminated soils. During evaporation, ammonia (g) volatilization is the preferred route of NH4-N transformation and nitrate formation is initiated thereafter. Ammonia volatilization ceased at residual blackwater contents of 16–40% owing to loss of air-void connectivity. Experimental results indicated that owing to ammonia volatilization and reduced blackwater content only 23–35% of initial NH4-N concentration was transformed to NO3-N. This study also predicted the nitrate accumulation in Mulbagal town aquifer due to blackwater discharge from pit toilets. The prediction indicated that the permissible (45 mg/L) nitrate concentration in the aquifer may have been breached several decades ago, exposing the populace to prolonged drinking water contamination.
Phytocystatins and their Potential Application in the Development of Drought Tolerance Plants in Soybeans (Glycine max L.)
Authors: Mangena Phetole 
Published: October 2019

:Plant cystatins, also called phytocystatins constitute a family of specific cysteine protease inhibitors found in several monocots and dicots. In soybean, phytocystatins regulate several endogenous processes contributing immensely to this crop’s tolerance to abiotic stress factors. Soybeans offer numerous nutritional, pharmaceutical and industrial benefits; however, their growth and yields is hampered by drought, which causes more than 10% yield losses recorded every harvest period worldwide. This review analyses the role of papain-like cysteine proteases and their inhibitors in soybean plant growth and development under drought stress. It also describes their localisation, regulation, target organs and tissues, and the overall impact of cystatins on generating drought tolerance soybean plants. These proteins have many functions that remain poorly characterized, particularly under abiotic stress. Although much information is available on the utilisation of proteases for industrial applications, very few reports have focused on the impact of proteases on plant stress responses. The exploitation of cystatins in plant engineering, as competitive proteases inhibitors is one of the means that will guarantee the continued utilisation of soybeans as an important oilseed crop.
A Genetic Predictive Model Estimating the Risk of Developing Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Authors: Xu Leilei , Wu Zhichong , Xia Chao , Tang Nelson , Cheng Jack C.Y. , Qiu Yong , Zhu Zezhang 
Published: October 2019

Background:
Previous GWASs have revealed several susceptible variants associated with
adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Risk prediction based on these variants can potentially improve
disease prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the combined effects of genetic factors on the development
of AIS and to further develop a genetic predictive model.

Methods:
A total of 914 AIS patients and 1441 normal controls were included in the discovery stage,
which was followed by the replication stage composed of 871 patients and 1239 controls. Genotyping
assay was performed to analyze 10 previously reported susceptible variants, including rs678741 of
LBX1, rs241215 of AJAP1, rs13398147 of PAX3, rs16934784 of BNC2, rs2050157 of GPR126,
rs2180439 of PAX1, rs4940576 of BCL2, rs7593846 of MEIS1, rs7633294 of MAGI1 and rs9810566
of TNIK. Logistic regression analysis was performed to generate a risk predictive model. The predicted
risk score was calculated for each participant in the replication stage.

Results:
The association of the 10 variants with AIS was successfully validated. The established model
could explain approximately 7.9% of the overall variance. In the replication stage, patients were
found to have a remarkably higher risk score as compared to the controls (44.2 ± 14.4 vs. 33.9 ± 12.5,
p <0.001). There was a remarkably higher proportion of the risk score i.e. >40 in the patients than in
the controls (59% vs. 28.9%, p <0.001).

Conclusion:
Risk predictive model based on the previously reported genetic variants has a remarkable
discriminative power. More clinical and genetic factors need to be studied, to further improve the
probability to predict the onset of AIS.
