BACKGROUND:
Anesthesia providers’ hand hygiene practices in the operating room may contribute to the transmission of bacteria. There is a debate, however, over the best approaches for pathogen containment during task dense periods (induction and extubation) of anesthesia care. A novel approach to reducing pathogen spread during these task dense periods is the use of alcohol-based hand rub on gloves when it may be difficult to either change gloves or clean hands.

METHODS:
To evaluate the impact of alcohol-based hand rub on gloves, we estimated perforation rates of 50 gloves that were worn as pairs by volunteers for 2 hours at a time applying alcohol-based hand rub every 15 minutes (total of 8 alcohol-based hand rub applications per pair of gloves). We also identified perforation rates of 50 new, unused gloves. To evaluate the ability to perform routine anesthesia functions, volunteers were asked to pick up a coin from a table top and document whether the gloves felt normal or sticky at each 15-minute period.

RESULTS:
Fifty new gloves (not exposed to alcohol-based hand rub) were tested for integrity using the Food and Drug Administration–approved process, and one was found to have a microperforation. Of the 50 gloves that had been applied with alcohol-based hand rub 8 times, no microperforations were identified. All volunteers demonstrated tactile competence by picking up a coin from a table top after 8 alcohol-based hand rub applications; in addition, as the number of alcohol-based hand rub applications progressed, the volunteers reported increased stickiness.

CONCLUSIONS:
This study suggests that the use of alcohol-based hand rub on commonly used nitrile examination gloves does not compromise glove integrity or hamper the ability to safely perform routine anesthesia functions.
Effects of Dexmedetomidine on Blood Glucose and Serum Potassium Levels in Children Undergoing General Anesthesia: A Secondary Analysis of Safety Endpoints During a Randomized Controlled Trial

Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND:
Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenergic agonist, which is increasingly used in pediatric anesthesia and intensive care. Potential adverse effects that have not been rigorously evaluated in children include its effects on blood glucose and serum potassium concentrations, which are relevant due to the associations of derangements of both parameters with undesired outcomes. We investigated the effects of 3 different doses of dexmedetomidine on these outcomes in a randomized controlled trial in children undergoing elective surgery.

METHODS:
Sixty-four American Society of Anesthesiologists I–II children were randomized to receive either dexmedetomidine 0.25 µg/kg, dexmedetomidine 0.5 µg/kg, dexmedetomidine 0.75 µg/kg, or 0 µg/kg (control), as a bolus administered over 60 seconds after induction of anesthesia. Changes in plasma glucose and serum potassium concentrations were measured in venous blood sampled before and at 15 and 30 minutes after study drug administration. Data were plotted within and between groups and analyzed using a constrained longitudinal data approach.

RESULTS:
Forty-nine children completed the study. Mean glucose levels at 15 and 30 minutes were elevated with estimated changes from baseline of 0.37 mmol/L (95% CI, 0.29–0.45 mmol/L) and 0.05 mmol/L (95% CI, 0.00–0.10 mmol/L), respectively. At 15 minutes, there was a linear dose–response relationship (1.07 mmol/L/μg/kg [95% CI, 0.57–1.58 mmol/L/μg/kg]), but there was no appreciable effect of dexmedetomidine at 30 minutes (0.15 mmol/L/μg/kg [95% CI, −0.40 to 0.70 mmol/L/μg/kg]). Potassium levels were depressed relative to baseline, with a mean difference at 15 minutes of −0.20 mEq/L (95% CI, −0.28 to −0.12 mEq/L) and at 30 minutes of −0.12 mEq/L (95% CI, −0.15 to −0.08 mEq/L), but there was no appreciable effect of dexmedetomidine at either time.

CONCLUSIONS:
Small elevations in glucose and decreases in potassium were observed after induction of anesthesia in children. The elevation in glucose at 15 minutes depended on the dose of dexmedetomidine administered. These preliminary data warrant further investigation.

A Structural Approach to Assessing Retention Policies in Public Schools
Authors: Vera Celia P. 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
One out of five entering public school teachers leave the field within the first 4 years. Despite that the presence of a newborn child is the single most important determinant of exits of female teachers, retention policy recommendations rely on models that take children as predetermined. This article formulates and estimates a structural dynamic model that explicitly addresses the interdependence between fertility and labor force participation choices. The model with unobserved heterogeneity in preferences for children fits the data and produces reasonable forecasts of labor force attachment to the teaching sector. Structural estimates of the model are used to predict the effects that wage increases and reductions in the cost of childcare would have on female teachers’ employment and fertility choices. The estimates unpack important features of the interdependence of fertility and labor supply and contradict previous studies that did not consider the endogeneity between these two choices.
Retrograde response by reactive oxygen/nitrogen species in plants involving different cellular organelles
Authors: Upadhyay Swati , Srivastava Yashdeep 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
During oxidative and nitrosative stress conditions cellular organelles convey information to the nucleus to express specific sets of genes to withstand the stress condition and to reorganize their growth and developmental pattern. This organelle to nucleus communication is termed retrograde signaling. In the plant system chloroplast and peroxisomes are mainly involved with little involvement of mitochondria and other organelles in oxidative stress-mediated retrograde signaling. In this review, we will discuss retrograde signaling in plant systems with factors that regulate this signaling cascade.
19F NMR as a versatile tool to study membrane protein structure and dynamics
Authors: Rose-Sperling Dania , Tran Mai Anh , Lauth Luca M. , Goretzki Benedikt , Hellmich Ute A. 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
To elucidate the structures and dynamics of membrane proteins, highly advanced biophysical methods have been developed that often require significant resources, both for sample preparation and experimental analyses. For very complex systems, such as membrane transporters, ion channels or G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), the incorporation of a single reporter at a select site can significantly simplify the observables and the measurement/analysis requirements. Here we present examples using 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a powerful, yet relatively straightforward tool to study (membrane) protein structure, dynamics and ligand interactions. We summarize methods to incorporate 19F labels into proteins and discuss the type of information that can be readily obtained for membrane proteins already from relatively simple NMR spectra with a focus on GPCRs as the membrane protein family most extensively studied by this technique. In the future, these approaches may be of particular interest also for many proteins that undergo complex functional dynamics and/or contain unstructured regions and thus are not amenable to X-ray crystallography or cryo electron microscopy (cryoEM) studies.
Three-Phase Grid Connected Bi-Directional Charging System to Control Active and Reactive Power with Harmonic Compensation
Authors: Behera Maheswar Prasad , Ray Pravat Kumar 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The feasibility of integration of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with a three-phase AC grid is being investigated in this paper. A converter is an inevitable part of a modern DC generating system. The link between the grid and the BESS is established through a Voltage Source Converter (VSC). Therefore, the converter can be utilized to dispatch the DC generated power to the connected AC grid and at the same time provides reactive power compensation and load harmonic compensation throughout the day. The DC bus voltage control of the converter system is carried out to keep the power factor always at unity, irrespective of the charging state of the battery source. The charging and discharging of the connected battery energy storage system are carried out through a bidirectional DC-DC converter. Adaptive hysteresis band current control (AHCC) scheme is employed to produce the switching signals. Finally, its performance is compared with the traditional hysteresis band control technique.
Problem of Understanding in the Psychology Science Studies of Ukrainian and Russian Researchers
Authors: Kharchenko Natalia 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The article discusses the phenomenon ‘understanding’ from the position of psychological science. The paper also examines the relationship between the categories of ‘understanding’, ‘knowledge’, ‘perception’, ‘sense’, in particular the relationship (interdependence) in dyads ‘understanding–knowledge’, ‘understanding–perception’, ‘understanding–sense’. The article also covers the functions of understanding (cognitive, regulatory, ideological), levels of understanding (depth, clarity and completeness), forms of understanding (understanding–recognition, understanding–hypothesis (prediction), understanding–unification), stages of understanding (pre-understanding, a vague understanding, insufficiently clear understanding, a clear understanding, a complete understanding), types of understanding (natural, cultural, creative). The analysis of scientific literature made it possible to draw conclusions that understanding is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, which can act as a natural and social, conscious and unconscious, objective and subjective, as the process and as the result. Understanding as a psychological phenomenon covers all mental processes: thinking, memory, representation, creative imagination, emotional and volitional processes, properties and abilities of the individual and pervades and mediates cognitive procedures (observation, description, prediction, explanation, etc.). Understanding is the target process, motivated, active, emotional and volitional, productive and individually personal.

[full article and abstract in Lithuanian; abstract in English]
The article focuses on the discourse of perceptual dialectology with the emphasis on the issue of the objective dialecticity. The aim to analyse the question of the objective dialecticity as a dialect parameter is essentially an attempt to identify the linguistic features of the dialect artefact that distinguish this artefact from other observation artefacts from the perspective of an ordinary member of the language community. Thus, the article, based on the data of language attitudes and perception of variants, develops an illustrative discourse, which reveals the features and values of the objective dialecticity from the perspective of an ordinary member of the Lithuanian language community.
The research data reveals that the system of the objective dialecticity features of ordinary members of the language community encompasses distinctive, characteristic, and fuzzy dialectal features. Only more characteristic and intense prominent secondary (characteristic) and tertiary (fuzzy) features in the horizontal continuum of the regional language variance determine that ordinary members of the language community (re)construct the dialect artefact on the basis of the latter.
Algirdo Landsbergio kritika: lietuvių–lenkų kultūrų dialogas
Authors: Adomavičienė Laimutė 
Published: April 2019

[full article and abstract in Lithuanian; abstract in English]
Algirdas Landsbergis (1924–2004) was one of the few critics whose erudition, creative intentions, comparative education, language proficiency and international competence and activities, provided opportunities to transcend the boundaries of the Lithuanian literature, avoiding the “provinciality” of literature. The article analyses the critique of Landsbergis literature and theatre-related to Polish culture. The chosen research of this part of the criticism texts is innovative because it has not been studied in more detail. The critic’s mission – to evaluate the Polish and Lithuanian literature in the context of Central-Eastern Europe – is highlighted in the criticism articles, reviews and annotations published in 1969–1998. The analysis of criticism texts allowed to highlight the dialogue between Lithuanian and Polish literature and cultures. In criticism relating to Polish culture, here viewed the latest works by Polish-speaking writers, mostly their translations, in order to evaluate the aesthetic value, structure, style of the work, to describe the writer’s growth, the place of his work in the context of peer-reviewed author’s creative works or in Polish literature (the basis of comparison is the Lithuanian literature or literature of other Middle East European countries). In this way, the critic performed an educational mission – introducing the addressee (a Lithuanian emigrant and Lithuanian behind the Iron Curtain) to the situation of the Middle East European region or the world culture, and literature; encouraged to resist the Soviet regime.
Non-linearity and/in Translation: On Complex Strategies in the Ukrainian Rendition of Joyce’s Novel-Hypertext “Ulysses”
Authors: Bondarenko Mariia 
Published: April 2019

[full article and abstract in English]
By positing that translation is the main manifestation of “interliterarity” (in D. Ďurišin’s conceptualization) that brings to the fore the meta-creational capacities of the target literature, the present article attempts (1) to study a translatability potential of a hypertext as based on the Ukrainian translation of James Joyce’s novel-hypertext Ulysses, and (2) to justify the role of its reception in the Ukrainian literary field as a force for language and culture development. The synthesis of a “verbal music” with a mosaic of texts and narratives – imitated, playfully transformed or directly quoted – is claimed to be a key source of hypertextuality in Ulysses. In this line of reasoning, the paper particularly focuses on (1) the role of both overcoming cultural barriers and leaving a space for reader’s co-creativity while transferring of intertexts; (2) the approaches to interpretation of parody and pastiche as forms of writing-as-translation practice; (3) J. Wawrzycka’s concept regarding translation of musicalized fiction as trans-semantification, i. e. attending to literariness of the text; (4) the idea of translator’s visibility attributed to the Ukrainian re-languaging of musicalized fiction.
Felső ugróízülettel kommunikáló csontcysta sebészi kezelése súlyos A-haemophiliás betegen
Authors: Kovács Krisztián , Bartha Lajos , Antal Imre 
Published: April 2019

Abstract: The authors report the case of a 19-year-old male patient with inhibitor-positive factor VIII deficiency. The patient had painful, limited range of motion and swelling in the left toe, due to haemarthrosis 1-2 times a month. The MR images depicted a bone cyst penetrating into the tibiotalar joint space at the distal end of the left tibia. Due to the size and localisation of the cyst, there was a high chance of a pathological fracture with a potential intraarticular component. The clinical scenario was complicated by the high level of antifactor VIII antibodies. To prevent pathological fracture and stop the recurrence of haemarthrosis, the authors decided to debride the cavity and fill it with bone chips. During the operation and the postoperative period the patient recieved recombinant clotting factor substitution and standard thromboprophylaxis. Despite the high risk of bleeding complication, the patient had neither bleeding nor thomboembolic complication. Further bleeding into the joint space has not been reported by the patient since the surgery. The authors aim to draw attention to this rare, but significant disease, the role of the haemophilia centers and the importance of the coordinated multidisciplinary treatment.

Определение уксусной кислоты в промежуточных фракциях производства этанола модифицированным пьезосенсором
Authors: Linh Cao Nhat , Akimova Marina Gennad’yevna , Zyablov Alexander N. 
Published: April 2019

В работе разработаны пьезоэлектрические сенсоры на основе молекулярно-импринтированных полимеров (МИП) для определения уксусной кислоты в жидкостях. Рассчитаны значения импринтинг-фактора и коэффициенты селективности и установлено, что сенсоры, модифицированные МИП, обладают высокой селективностью к уксусной кислоте, которая являлась темплатом при синтезе полимерного покрытия. Модифицированные пьезосенсоры апробированы при анализе состава промежуточных фракциях производства этанола (бражной дистиллят, эпюрат, кубовые жидкости колонн). Проверку правильности определения кислоты в жидкостях проводили на хромато-масс-спектрометрическом комплексе Agilent Technological 7890B GC Systems. Установлено, что уксусная кислота выявилась только в бражном дистилляте и эпюрате. Сравнение результатов определения уксусной кислоты в жидких средах, полученных методом хромато-масс-спектрометрии и сенсорами на основе МИП показало, что систематическая погрешность пьезосенсорного способа определения карбоновой кислоты отсутствует.
