Published: August 2019

Abstract
Since about a decade, metal-induced energy transfer (MIET) has become a tool to measure the distance of fluorophores to a metal-coated surface with nanometer accuracy. The energy transfer from a fluorescent molecule to surface plasmons within a metal film results in the acceleration of its radiative decay rate. This can be observed as a reduction of the molecule’s fluorescence lifetime which can be easily measured with standard microscopy equipment. The achievable distance resolution is in the nanometer range, over a total range of about 200 nm. The method is perfectly compatible with biological and even live cell samples. In this review, we will summarize the theoretical and technical details of the method and present the most important results that have been obtained using MIET. We will also show how the latest technical developments can contribute to improving MIET, and we sketch some interesting directions for its future applications in the life sciences.
Strategic technology management within global value systems

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Contemporary the concept of global value system extensively elaborated by scientist and applied by practices in the fields of management, economics and politics. The aim of this article is to provide the theoretical background and evolution of the global value system methodological approach from the global strategy management perspective. The technologies are considered as the main source of added value. Therefore the main scholars of technologies strategic management are provided in the article, though in the global value system concept it is implied that the source of added value originates from the allocation of added value activities across borders. Recently scholars analyse various sources for the added value upgrading, though critics of global value chain concept emphasise that besides economic added value, social issues should be considered.

Abstract
Through recent work at Iowa State University, great potential was seen from epoxidized plant oil materials, epoxidized benzyl soyate (EBS), and epoxidized methyl soyate (EMS) as fluxes/rejuvenators. This work found that improvement in low-temperature performance was greater than improvement in high-temperature performance for solvent de-asphalting (SDA) and residuum oil super critical extraction (ROSE) unit bottoms when using either EBS or EMS as compared to results from modified vacuum distillation tower bottoms with EBS and EMS. Based on these results, analytical chemistry was done using Fourier transformed infrared with attenuated total reflection and ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) equipment. Chemical analysis showed that there is indeed something in the SDA and ROSE binders that is interacting with both EBS and EMS, making them perform aggressively. The region of interest was identified from IM-MS to be between m/z 250 and m/z 400 for the SDA and ROSE binders, of which there were 35 common components where 29 of them had similar abundances in the SDA and ROSE binders.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Self-sensing materials are capable of sensing the occurring strains and damage states present within. Smart concrete pavement made with cement-based self-sensing materials could be used for in situ monitoring of both the structural integrity as well as traffic characteristics. This article studies the electrical resistivity and piezoresistivity of cement enriched with multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under cyclic loading. The effects of fatigue damage and environmental factors, such as temperature, water content, and freeze-thaw cycles, on the resistivity and piezoresistivity were investigated. The test results show that the resistivity increases with the number of fatigue loading cycles. On the other hand, the resistivity decreases as the water content increases. In contrast, the piezoresistivity increases first and then decreases. The temperature has a significant yet offsetting effect on the electrical resistivity as well as the piezoresistivity. As the temperature increases, the electrical resistivity decreases, whereas the piezoresistivity increases. The major cause of the change in electrical resistivity and piezoresistivity was the change of tunneling conduction under different conditions. Moreover, the freeze-thaw cycles induce damage to the CNT-cement composite material. Therefore, the data collected by self-sensing materials must be calibrated for the water content and temperature before interpretation.

Abstract
Puccinia hordei (Ph) is a damaging pathogen of barley throughout the world. Despite its importance, almost nothing is known about the genomics of this pathogen, and a reference genome is lacking. In this study, the first reference genome was assembled for an Australian isolate of Ph (“Ph560”) using long-read SMRT sequencing. A total of 838 contigs were assembled, with a total size of 207 Mbp. This included both haplotype collapsed and separated regions, consistent with an estimated haploid genome size of about 150Mbp. An annotation pipeline that combined RNA-Seq of Ph-infected host tissues and homology to proteins from four other Puccinia species predicted 25,543 gene models of which 1,450 genes were classified as encoding secreted proteins based on the prediction of a signal peptide and no transmembrane domain. Genome resequencing using short-read technology was conducted for four additional Australian strains, Ph612, Ph626, Ph608 and Ph584, which are considered to be simple mutational derivatives of Ph560 with added virulence to one or two of three barley leaf rust resistance genes (viz. Rph3, Rph13 and Rph19). To identify candidate genes for the corresponding avirulence genes AvrRph3, AvrRph13 and AvrRph19, genetic variation in predicted secreted protein genes between the strains was correlated to the virulence profiles of each, identifying 35, 29 and 46 candidates for AvrRph13, AvrRph3 and AvrRph19, respectively. The identification of these candidate genes provides a strong foundation for future efforts to isolate these three avirulence genes, investigate their biological properties, and develop new diagnostic tests for monitoring pathogen virulence.

AbstractThe Neurospora crassa nuclear aod-1 gene encodes an alternative oxidase that functions in mitochondria. The enzyme provides a branch from the standard electron transport chain by transferring electrons directly from ubiquinol to oxygen. In standard laboratory strains, aod-1 is transcribed at very low levels under normal growth conditions. However, if the standard electron transport chain is disrupted, aod-1 mRNA expression is induced and the AOD1 protein is produced. We previously identified a strain of N. crassa, that produces high levels of aod-1 transcript under non-inducing conditions. Here we have crossed this strain to a standard lab strain and determined the genomic sequences of the parents and several progeny. Analysis of the sequence data and the levels of aod-1 mRNA in uninduced cultures revealed that a frameshift mutation in the flbA gene results in the high uninduced expression of aod-1. The flbA gene encodes a regulator of G protein signaling that decreases the activity of the Gα subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins. Our data suggest that strains with a functional flbA gene prevent uninduced expression of aod-1 by inactivating a G protein signaling pathway, and that this pathway is activated in cells grown under conditions that induce aod-1. Induced cells with a deletion of the gene encoding the Gα protein still have a partial increase in aod-1 mRNA levels, suggesting a second pathway for inducing transcription of the gene in N. crassa. We also present evidence that a translational control mechanism prevents production of AOD1 protein in uninduced cultures.
CYSTICERCOSIS OF BREAST: A RARE PRESENTATION

Published: August 2019

Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by Cysticercus cellulosae, the larval stage of Taenia Solium. It is present world-wide, but more prevalent in developing regions like South America, Africa, South-East Asia and Eastern Europe due to poor environmental sanitation. The common sites are skeletal muscle, subcutaneous tissue, brain and eye. Breast is an uncommon site and diagnosis is usually incidental. Only a few cases have been reported, so far. Several diagnostic tools such as radiologic imaging, serology and immunologic detection are being used but the gold standard remains the demonstration of the parasitic larva by FNAC or histopathology.
Here , we report an unusual case of cysticercosis in breast that was diagnosed o by Fine needle aspiration cytology.

Published: August 2019

Introdução A promoção de saúde no contexto do SUS busca desenvolver políticas de incentivo à atividade física e práticas corporais com o intuito de inserir essa rotina no cotidiano do cidadão. A partir dessa concepção, surgiu o Programa Academia da Saúde (PAS) como uma estratégia de integração de ações de saúde pública na Atenção Primária, baseado no reconhecimento da relevância epidemiológica do sedentarismo como um fator de risco para a aquisição de doenças e agravos à saúde. Objetivo Caracterizar o perfil clínico e sociodemográfico, analisar a autopercepção da qualidade de vida e prontidão para a prática de atividade física de frequentadores de uma Academia Parque do município de Mata de São João-Bahia. Materiais e métodos Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo, em que a participação consistiu em responder questionários destinados ao conhecimento clínico e sociodemográfico (elaborado pelas autoras), de qualidade de vida (SF-36) e prontidão para a prática de atividade física (PAR-Q) após assinatura do TCLE. Para análise das variáveis foram utilizadas além da estatística descritiva, média e desvio padrão, o cálculo da frequência absoluta e relativa. Resultados Participaram do estudo um total de 35 frequentadores da Academia Parque, com a média de idade de 47,3±10,8 anos e predominância do gênero feminino (94,2%). Clinicamente, a doença sistêmica mais citada foi a hipertensão arterial (45,7%) e a de aspecto físico mais comum àqueles que relataram possuir comorbidades foi a artrose (50%). Observou-se ainda, elevada prevalência de consumo diário de medicamentos (74,2%). Conclusão O perfil da Academia Parque é composto em sua maioria por mulheres, com média escolaridade, com a HAS como patologia prevalente, cujo motivo para a busca do serviço foi a preocupação com a saúde. Segundo o PAR-Q, os indivíduos apresentavam aptidão para praticar atividade física, embora comorbidades de aspecto físico tenham sido observadas e, conforme o questionário SF-36, a dor, a capacidade funcional e a limitação por aspectos físicos foram fatores de maior impacto na qualidade de vida.

O estágio é uma atividade educativa realizada de forma prática e supervisionada com o objetivo de desenvolver as habilidades do educando, bem como de adaptá-lo à vivência profissional. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a contribuição do estágio extracurricular na construção do conhecimento de acadêmicos de Fisioterapia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, que adotou como estratégia de coleta de dados a entrevista semiestruturada. Os participantes foram seis estudantes de Fisioterapia: quatro de uma instituição privada e dois de uma instituição pública de ensino superior, ambas localizadas na cidade de Salvador, Bahia. Utilizou-se um instrumento de criação própria com 13 questões, norteador da temática e pertinente ao objetivo da pesquisa. Realizou-se a análise de conteúdo do tipo temática, estruturada a partir da leitura de cada depoimento transcrito na íntegra, com o intuito de apreender o seu sentido geral. A partir da análise dos depoimentos de acadêmicos de fisioterapia que vivenciaram o estágio extracurricular, percebe-se que a questão financeira é a principal motivação para formação profissional. Nota-se que as instituições concedentes de estágio, que trabalham com protocolos fisioterapêuticos padronizados, exigem dos estagiários uma demanda maior de atendimentos. Os procedimentos ocorrem de forma “mecânica”; de forma geral, não existem oportunidades para que os discentes contribuam para a elaboração do diagnóstico e plano terapêutico. Por outro lado, relatos de discentes vinculados a estágios da rede pública e a serviços de alta complexidade demonstram que, de acordo com as suas experiências, o estágio extracurricular é um ambiente propício para o desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades necessárias para a formação do fisioterapeuta. Por fim, todos os participantes relataram que os estágios proporcionaram importante contribuição para a relação terapeuta-paciente.

<p>Schools are an important key for a nation because schools play a role in preparing the nation's next generation. Schools are organizations that require good knowledge management. The knowledge that schools have is the work of their members, the teachers. The knowledge possessed by teachers varies. For this reason, schools must create a system so that knowledge can be shared and learned by all the teachers in the school. One way that can be done is by implementing a professional development program. Through this program, there will be a process of knowledge transfer according to the SECI model. This program is effective in increasing the knowledge of teachers and thus their intellectual capital. If the intellectual capital of the teachers increases, their competence in teaching will also develop and they can create a better generation for the nation.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: </strong>Sekolah adalah kunci penting suatu bangsa, karena sekolah berperan dalam mempersiapkan generasi penerus bangsa. Sekolah merupakan sebuah organisasi yang memerlukan pengelolaan pengetahuan yang baik. Pengetahuan yang dimiliki sekolah adalah hasil kreasi para anggotanya, yaitu para guru. Pengetahuan yang dimiliki oleh para guru, tidaklah sama antara satu dan yang lainnya. Untuk itu, sekolah harus menciptakan suatu sistem agar pengetahun tersebut dapat dibagikan dan dipelajari oleh semua guru di dalamnya. Salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan adalah mengadakan program pengembangan professional. Melalui program ini, maka akan terjadi proses perpindahan pengetahuan menurut model SECI. Program ini efektif untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan para guru yang merupakan modal intelektual mereka. Jika modal intelektual para guru bertambah, maka kompetensi mereka juga akan berkembang terutama dalam pengajaran.

Abstract
Objective The current study is the first experimental study of which has evaluated the MICs and MBCs of ZnONPs, MgONPs, and mixture MgONPs-ZnONPs against H 37 Rv Mtb and MDR-Mtb.Results The MIC of MgONPs and ZnONPs were 0.195 and 0.468 µg.ml -1 against 10 4 of H 37 Rv Mtb. As well, 0.166 µg.ml -1 of MgONPs-ZnONPs was able to inhibit 10 -4 H 37 Rv Mtb. The MIC of MgONPs against 10 4 concentrations of MDR-Mtb was 12.5 µg.ml -1 . The MIC of MgONPs/ZnONPs against 10 4 concentrations of MDR-Mtb reached to 0.664 µg.ml -1 . Based on the results, the MBC value of ZnONPs increased to 1.875 µg.ml -1 against 10 -4 concentrations of MDR-Mtb. Testing showed that the MBCs of MgONPs/ZnONPs reached to 1.328 µg.ml -1 against 10 4 concentrations of MDR-Mtb. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) against MDR-TB was 0.779 µg.ml -1 for ZnONPs and 0.883 µg.ml -1 for MgONPs-ZnONPs. The MgONPs-ZnONPs was not toxic to Vero cell lines however ZnONPs could inhibit the Vero and HepG 2 cell lines. We found that ZnONPs and mixture MgONPs-ZnONPs not only have higher bactericide behavior but might have also synergistic effects against MDR-TB.

Abstract
Objective: A total of 205 animals from four Egyptian livestock species were used in this study to detect polymorphism and perform comparative analysis for IGFBP-3 gene using DNA sequencing and (PCR-RFLP). Results: The digestion of 654 bp with HaeIII restriction enzyme yielded a single restriction pattern of eight fragments in sheep revealing the absence of polymorphism, while in cattle 3 genotypes were identified; (AA), (AB), and (BB). Moreover, one genotype (AA) only was found in buffalo using HeaIII and MspI restriction enzymes, separately. Digestion profile for a goat with HaeIII revealed only one pattern for three DNA fragments, which means the absence of polymorphism within the IGFBP-3 gene in the tested goats. The nucleotide sequencing analysis indicated similarity percentages in IGFBP-3 gene fragments of 77, 30 and 58% between ''sheep and cattle '', ''sheep and buffalo '', and ''cattle and buffalo'', respectively.
