Medicinal Plants with anti-Acanthamoeba Activity: A Systematic Review
Authors: Chegeni Tooran Nayeri , Fakhar Mahdi , Ghaffarifar Fatemeh , Saberi Reza 
Published: July 2019

Background:
Recently, herbal medicine has received much attention in the literature.
Several essential oils or plant extracts have been found to have anti-Acanthamoeba properties
against trophozoites and cysts of Acanthamoeba spp.

Objective:
The aim of this systematic review is to introduce anti-Acanthamoeba properties of
some essential oils or plant extracts; perhaps the results of this research will be used to prevent
and treat infectious diseases.

Methods:
All published papers in English and Persian databases were systematically searched for
some specific keywords to find articles that have influenced plant compounds on Acanthamoeba
up to April 2018. Articles related to the subject were selected and studied.

Results:
A total of 51 articles including 136 experiments (128 in vitro and 8 in vivo) between
1999 and 2018, met our eligibility criteria. Totally, 110 species of plants belonging to 34 families,
mainly Lamiaceae (15 plant species) and Asteraceae (13 plant species) were studied against trophozoites
and cysts of Acanthamoba in in vitro and in vivo. Most of the plant's species were Citrus
(6 species), Allium (5 species), Peucedanum, Piper, Lippia, and Olive (4 species). The most frequently
used parts were leaves, aerial parts, flowers, bark, rhizomes, and seeds.

Conclusions:
Recent studies have shown that many natural compounds have high anti-parasitic
properties and low toxicity. Our research team hopes that the information provided in present systematic
review can improve new experimental and clinical trials and herbal combination therapy.
Further studies are needed to understand the molecular mechanisms in the anti-amoebic reactions
of plant species and ocular toxicity of extracts in animal models.

Authors: Maleki Bahman , Dalimi Abdolhossein , Majidiani Hamidreza , Badri Milad , Gorgipour Mohammad , Khorshidi Ali 
Published: July 2019

Background:
Swine species are an important source of meat production worldwide,
except in Islamic countries where pig breeding and pork consumption are forbidden. Hence, they
are often neglected in these regions. A considerable number of wild boars (Sus scrofa) inhabit Iranian
territories, particularly in dense forests of north, west and southwest of the country, but our
knowledge regarding their parasites is very limited.

Objective:
The lack of a comprehensive record in this connection encouraged us to review the
whole works of literature in the country.

Methods:
The current review presents all the information about the parasitic diseases of wild boar
in Iran extracted from articles available in both Persian and English databases until June 2017.

Results:
So far, 8 genera of protozoa (Toxoplasma, Balanthidium, Tritrichomonas, Blastocystis,
Entamoeba, Iodamoeba, Chilomastix and Sarcocystis) and 20 helminth species, including four
cestode species, two trematode species, thirteen nematode species as well as a single species of
Acanthocephala have been described in Iranian wild boars.

Conclusion:
This review sheds light on the veterinary and public health aspects of the parasitic
diseases of wild boars in the country and alerts authorities for future preventive measures.

Authors: Souza Erika , Gottschalk Leda , Freitas-Silva Otniel 
Published: July 2019

Background:The rising concern with environmental preservation has led to increasing interest in biodegradable polymer composites from renewable sources, such as cellulose and its derivatives. The use of nanocellulose is an innovative food packaging trend.Discussion:This paper presents an overview and discusses the state of the art of different nanocellulose materials used in food and food packaging, and identifies important patents related to them. It is important to consider that before marketing, new products must be proven safe for consumers and the environment.Conclusion:Several packaging materials using nanocellulose have been developed and shown to be promising for use as active and intelligent materials for food packaging. Other nanocellulose products are under investigation for packaging and may enter the market in the near future. Many countries have been adjusting their regulatory frameworks to deal with nanotechnologies, including nanocellulose packaging.
Introduction of Ultrasound Simulation in Medical Education: Exploratory Study
Authors: Hani Selim , Chalouhi Gihad , Lakissian Zavi , Sharara-Chami Rana 
Published: July 2019

Background
Ultrasound is ubiquitous across all disciplines of medicine; it is one of the most commonly used noninvasive, painless diagnostic tools. However, not many are educated and trained well enough in its use. Ultrasound requires not only theoretical knowledge but also extensive practical experience. The simulated setting offers the safest environment for health care professionals to learn and practice using ultrasound.

Objective
This study aimed to (1) assess health care professionals’ need for and enthusiasm toward practicing using ultrasound via simulation and (2) gauge their perception and acceptance of simulation as an integral element of ultrasound education in medical curricula.

Methods
A day-long intervention was organized at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) to provide a free-of-charge interactive ultrasound simulation workshop—using CAE Vimedix high-fidelity simulator—for health care providers, including physicians, nurses, ultrasound technicians, residents, and medical students. Following the intervention, attendees completed an evaluation, which included 4 demographic questions and 16 close-ended questions based on a Likert scale agree-neutral-disagree. The results presented are based on this evaluation form.

Results
A total of 41 participants attended the workshop (46% [19/41] physicians, 30% [12/41] residents, 19% [8/41] sonographers, and 5% [2/41] medical students), mostly from AUBMC (88%, 36/41), with an average experience of 2.27 (SD 3.45) years and 30 (SD 46) scans per attendee. Moreover, 15 out of 41 (36%) participants were from obstetrics and gynecology, 11 (27%) from internal medicine, 4 (10%) from pediatrics, 4 (10%) from emergency medicine, 2 (5%) from surgery and family medicine, and 5 (12%) were technicians. The majority of participants agreed that ultrasound provided a realistic setting (98%, 40/41) and that it allowed for training and identification of pathologies (88%, 36/41). Furthermore, 100% (41/41) of the participants agreed that it should be part of the curriculum either in medical school or residency, and most of the participants approved it for training (98%, 40/41) and teaching (98%, 40/41).

Conclusions
All attendees were satisfied with the intervention. There was a positive perception toward the use of simulation for training and teaching medical students and residents in using ultrasound, and there was a definite need and enthusiasm for its integration into curricula. Simulation offers an avenue not only for teaching but also for practicing the ultrasound technology by both medical students and health care providers.
Use of Mobile Health Apps and Wearable Technology to Assess Changes and Predict Pain During Treatment of Acute Pain in Sickle Cell Disease: Feasibility Study
Authors: Johnson Amanda , Yang Fan , Gollarahalli Siddharth , Banerjee Tanvi , Abrams Daniel , Jonassaint Jude , Jonassaint Charles , Shah Nirmish 
Published: July 2019

Background
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited red blood cell disorder affecting millions worldwide, and it results in many potential medical complications throughout the life course. The hallmark of SCD is pain. Many patients experience daily chronic pain as well as intermittent, unpredictable acute vaso-occlusive painful episodes called pain crises. These pain crises often require acute medical care through the day hospital or emergency department. Following presentation, a number of these patients are subsequently admitted with continued efforts of treatment focused on palliative pain control and hydration for management. Mitigating pain crises is challenging for both the patients and their providers, given the perceived unpredictability and subjective nature of pain.

Objective
The objective of this study was to show the feasibility of using objective, physiologic measurements obtained from a wearable device during an acute pain crisis to predict patient-reported pain scores (in an app and to nursing staff) using machine learning techniques.

Methods
For this feasibility study, we enrolled 27 adult patients presenting to the day hospital with acute pain. At the beginning of pain treatment, each participant was given a wearable device (Microsoft Band 2) that collected physiologic measurements. Pain scores from our mobile app, Technology Resources to Understand Pain Assessment in Patients with Pain, and those obtained by nursing staff were both used with wearable signals to complete time stamp matching and feature extraction and selection. Following this, we constructed regression and classification machine learning algorithms to build between-subject pain prediction models.

Results
Patients were monitored for an average of 3.79 (SD 2.23) hours, with an average of 5826 (SD 2667) objective data values per patient. As expected, we found that pain scores and heart rate decreased for most patients during the course of their stay. Using the wearable sensor data and pain scores, we were able to create a regression model to predict subjective pain scores with a root mean square error of 1.430 and correlation between observations and predictions of 0.706. Furthermore, we verified the hypothesis that the regression model outperformed the classification model by comparing the performances of the support vector machines (SVM) and the SVM for regression.

Conclusions
The Microsoft Band 2 allowed easy collection of objective, physiologic markers during an acute pain crisis in adults with SCD. Features can be extracted from these data signals and matched with pain scores. Machine learning models can then use these features to feasibly predict patient pain scores.
LA PERSPECTIVA DEL DIALOGO INTERCIENTÍFICO: una directiva para transdisciplinariedad cultural y epistemológica
Authors: Soares Marisa , Ybarra Luis Antonio Ccopa 
Published: July 2019

En ese artículo de naturaleza bibliográfica explicamos porque el diálogo intercientífico permite que se transcienda la homogeneidad de una epistemología involucrada en sí misma, expandiéndose para la transdisciplinariedad cultural y epistemológica. Analizamos dos nuevos modelos de paradigma alternativo, a saber: el vivir bien y el desarrollo endógeno sustentable. Consideramos que esas concepciones filosóficas tienen el desafío de desarrollar nuevas posibilidades epistemológicas y metodológicas que permitan el cambio de la realidad social e histórica.

O mundo dos antepassados e o mundo dos vivos - ritual de ukanyi na mediação: um ensaio sobre ancestralidade no Sul de Moçambique
Authors: Cossa Dulcídio Manuel Albuquerque 
Published: July 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é pensar como a relação entre o mundo dos antepassados e o mundo dos vivos se estabelece e se estrutura por intermédio do ritual de ukanyi (um ritual realizado para o consumo da bebida-ancestral-sagrada ukanyi). Proposta esta que remete ao estudo e compreensão da religiosidade tradicional africana, na qual se assenta a cosmovisão dos africanos perpassada por um sistema de valores, crenças e práticas bantu. Assim, o método etnográfico e a análise situacional aparecem como alicerces para compreender o fenômeno em causa. Considero o pressuposto de que o ritual de ukanyi é uma cerimônia que permite a exaltação dos antepassados, ativa e reativa valores, crenças e práticas que fortalecem e revigoram a religiosidade tradicional africana. Dessa forma, o mesmo nos possibilita vivenciar e experimentar dois mundos diferentes, dos vivos e dos mortos (antepassados). Entendo que compreender a relação entre o mundo dos vivos e dos antepassados é adentrar na forma como se constituem as afrofilosofias que permitem tangenciar o universo africano.

… Und führe uns nicht in Versuchung, sondern erlöse uns von dem Bösen … Gedanken zu Eginald Schlattners Text Ja nicht ja. Walther Gottfried Seidner zum 80.
Authors: Dumitru Andreea 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The story “Ja nicht ja” was written specifically for the volume “Der siebenbürgische Voltaire. Walther Gottfried Seidner zum 80. Geburtstag” by the famous novelist Eginald Schlattner. It brings the communist regime and the Department of State Security into the focus of the reader. During a meeting in the early 1990s attended by evangelical Lutheran priests of Augustan Confession a young priest admitted that he was a collaborator of the State Security, and thus managed to take over the burden of being an informant on the shoulders of others. Father Walther Gottfried Seidner, who was also threatened, managed to avoid State Security at any price, and understanding the situation of the young priest takes his defense.
Zu den Bedeutungen der Verben „kopulieren”, „kaufen” und „verändern” in siebenbürgischen urkundlichen Quellen und im Siebenbürgisch- Sächsischen
Authors: Haldenwang Sigrid 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This article covers the verbs kopulieren (copulate) and kaufen (buy) with the meaning of, religious and legal marriage’ followed by the verb verändern (change) with the meaning of ,marry’, ,getting married’. The case examples show that certain meanings of a verb which have been retained in Transylvanian documentary sources and the Transylvanian-Saxon vernacular are indeed mentioned in High German, however, they are marked ,archaic’ (see the given meanings of the verbs kopulieren, originating from Latin and the given meanings of the verb verändern originating from Middle High German). On the other hand, when a certain meaning of a verb is not documented in High German any longer, Transylvanian document sources and the Transylvanian-Saxon vernacular can serve as documentation (see the verb kaufen which has retained the Middle High German meaning). The case examples are taken from the Transylvanian-Saxon Dictionary and the North-Transylvanian-Saxon Dictionary.
Leider nur ein Leichtgewicht: Der Text+Kritik-Sammelband zu Christoph Ransmayr enttäuscht
Authors: Spitz Markus Oliver 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
It has been more than thirty years since Christoph Ransmayr published The Last World to great success despite its intellectually challenging theme, the fictitious search for Publius Ovidius Naso, known as Ovid, who had been sent into exile by emperor Augustus. Ever since then, his writing has attracted the attention of the public, literary critics and scholars alike. Volume 220 of the renowned edition text+kritik has been dedicated entirely to his work. Its editor, Doren Wohlleben, gathered half a dozen contributions meant to map the different intercultural narrative spaces, which are mainly identifiable in the author’s novels and prose writings.
Comparison of habitats of the rare fungus Pluteus fenzlii between Białowieża Virgin Forest (Poland) and thermophilous forests (Slovakia)
Authors: Kučera Tomáš , Kunca Vladimír , Holec Jan 
Published: July 2019

AbstractPluteus fenzlii is a rare Eurasian lignicolous fungus, an iconic bright yellow species that attracts attention. Its habitat in the Białowieża Virgin Forest, Poland, is dominated by Carpinus betulus with admixture of Quercus robur, Tilia cordata and Picea abies, with an herb layer typical for the Carpinion betuli alliance. In Slovakia, the country hosting the highest number of localities worldwide, P. fenzlii prefers closed canopy of thermophilous forest with dominance of Quercus cerris and adjacent Quercus robur agg., Q. petraea agg., Carpinus betulus and Tilia cordata. In the Natura 2000 classification this vegetation belongs to habitat 91M0, Pannonian-Balkanic Turkey Oak-Sessile Oak forests, and priority habitat 91G0, Pannonic woods with Quercus petraea and Carpinus betulus. The Slovak localities can be assigned to the mycosociological community Boleto (aerei)–Russuletum luteotactae, typical for thermophilous oak forests of Southern Europe and extrazonal areas in Central Europe. The presence of P. fenzlii at the isolated Białowieża locality could represent either a remote site of its present occurrence or a remnant of its former distribution, connected with the relict occurrence of thermophilous vegetation in Białowieża where continental oak forests have already disappeared.

Published: July 2019

Con el objeto de conocer la ‘Calidad de vida relacionada con la salud’ (CVRS) de niños y adolescentes (NyA) con recursos auditivos, se administró el cuestionario KINDLR,[1]que estima la CVRS en actividades cotidianas a una muestra de 187 NyA con implantes cocleares (ICs) y a otra muestra de 109 con audífonos (AUs). También se aplicó la versión correspondiente de KINDLRa 296 progenitores para comparar las opiniones de los NyA con la de sus progenitores. Se realizó un análisis de la varianza para determinar si había diferencias entre los grupos de estudiantes, así como en el grupo de progenitores en las dimensiones del cuestionarioKINDLRy el índice Kappa y el Coeficiente de correlación intraclase (CCI) para ver en qué medida existía concordancia entre los sujetos de las muestras evaluando la variabilidad de CVRS para su mejora. Los NyA que usaron ICs percibieron la CVRS de forma distinta a los que utilizaron AUs.Existió acuerdo entre los autoinformes de ambos grupos de estudiantes y los informes de sus progenitores en la dimensión Autoestima del CVRS. Se recomiendaincorporar variables clínicas para comparar dimensiones de CVRSde NyA con dificultades auditivas.[1]Se denomina cuestionario KINDLRa la herramienta evaluativa alemana creada por Ravens-Sieber y Bullinger (1998) empleada en español para medir el bienestar y calidad de vida de estudiantes (Kiddy-KINDLRpara niños de 4 a 7 años, Kid-KINDLRpara niños de 8-11 años, Kiddo-KINDLRpara adolescentes de 12-16 años) y la versión adaptada del cuestionario Kid- & Kiddo-KINDLRpara padres.
A PRESENÇA DO DISCURSO DIDÁTICO NO TEXTO JORNALÍSTICO DO PORTAL G1
Authors: Rabelo e Silva Ana Paula , Magalhães Izabel Dos Santos , Cunha Tiago Martins da 
Published: July 2019

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar como ocorre a recontextualização (MAGALHÃES, 2015) a partir da relação entre discurso informativo e discurso didático em 29 matérias (de 2014 a 2017) publicadas no Portal G1/LavaJato. Além deste, também foi nosso objetivo identificar como o didatismo recorre ao uso da repetição dos argumentos indutivos: exemplo e ilustração (PERELMAN; OLBRECHTS-TYTECA, 1996; FIORIN, 2017). Para tanto, utilizamos a Análise de Discurso Crítica como teoria e método. Como teoria, quando nos reportamos às noções de discurso (FAIRCLOUGH 2001 [1992]; FAIRCLOUGH, 2003) e recontextualização (MAGALHÃES, 2015) e como método quando nos apoiamos no enquadre metodológico sugerido por Chouliaraki e Fairclough (2005). No procedimento metodológico, associamos a ADC à Linguística Computacional para ilustrar a ocorrência de termos associados ao discurso didático (CHARAUDEAU, 2009) nas matérias analisadas, bem como para analisar a recontextualização por meio da repetição de termos. Identificamos uso excessivo de didatismos tanto nos aspectos estruturais, quanto na linha argumentativa, ao ponto de recontextualizar as narrativas de modo a tornar nebulosa a relação entre os fatos narrados pela mídia e os eventos ali descritos.
