naïve Patients with Hypertension
Authors: Filippatos Theodosios , Papadakis John , Ioannou Petros , Vrentzos George , Theodorakopoulou Vasiliki , Papanikolaou Konstantinos 
Published: March 2022

Background:
Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) predisposes to the future development of
type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may also be associated with increased cardiovascular disease
(CVD) risk. Hypertension is an established CVD risk factor.

Objective:
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of IFG and the associated anthropometric and
metabolic disturbances in patients with hypertension.

Method:
Consecutive hypertensive patients not on any hypolipidemic treatment and without a diagnosis
of T2DM were included. IFG was defined as serum glucose 100 mg/dl according to the
American Diabetes Association criteria.

Results:
The total sample consisted of 1381 participants; between them, 78 patients were diagnosed
to have T2DM and they were excluded from the analyses, leaving a final sample of 1303 hypertensive
patients [41.0% men; median age 58 (range: 15-90) years] not on any hypolipidemic treatment
and without a diagnosis of T2DM. IFG was identified in 469 patients (36%). IFG was more prevalent
in males than in females (42.4% vs. 31.8%, p<0.001). Patients with IFG had greater body mass
index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase,
gamma-glutamyl transferase, and uric acid serum levels compared with patients with
normal serum glucose levels.

Conclusion:
This study reveals that in a sample of patients with hypertension, one out of three has
IFG. This is more prevalent among men. IFG is associated with the presence of a more aggravated
anthropometric and biochemical profile, possibly associated with an increased CVD risk.

Published: March 2022

Background:
Radioresistance is found to be the main therapeutic restriction in colorectal radiation therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic effect of Etodolac (ET) and ionizing radiation on human colorectal cancer cells.

Materials & Methods:
Pretreated HT-29 cells with ET were exposed to ionizing radiation. The radiosensitizing effect of ET was evaluated using MTT, flow cytometry, and clonogenic assay. The amount of nitrite oxide (NO) in irradiated cells was also measured with the Griess reagent.

Results:
The present study found that pretreatment of HT-29 cells with ET decreases their survival and colony formation. Higher concentrations of ET cause total apoptosis and an increase in NO levels in irradiated cells.

Conclusion:
Applying ET in a concentration-dependent manner had an incremental effect on the amount of apoptosis and cell death induced by radiation.

Authors: Hou Xiaoyan , Wu Tailai , Chen Zhuo , Zhou Liqin 
Published: March 2022

Background
Medical crowdfunding provides opportunities for individuals who lack financial resources to access the health services that they need. Despite the popularity of medical crowdfunding, the current understanding of the success of medical crowdfunding campaigns is fragmented and inadequate.

Objective
We aimed to comprehensively investigate which factors lead to the success of medical crowdfunding campaigns.

Methods
A search was conducted in PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, ACM Digital Library, and ScienceDirect from 2010 to June 2020. Papers directly and indirectly related to the success of medical crowdfunding campaigns were included. Two reviewers independently extracted information on the success of medical crowdfunding campaigns.

Results
Our search yielded 441 articles, of which 13 met the inclusion criteria. Medical crowdfunding is increasingly attracting academic attention, and most studies leverage text analysis as their research methods; however, there is a lack of consensus on the definition of medical crowdfunding among researchers. Four categories of factors that affect the success of medical crowdfunding were identified: platforms, raisers, donors, and campaigns.

Conclusions
Although some limitations exist in our systematic review, our study captured and mapped literatures of the success of medical crowdfunding campaigns systematically, which can be used as the basis for future research on this topic.
Traducción, mestizaje y transculturación en tres textos de José María Arguedas
Authors: Suárez Pomar Magdalena 
Published: March 2022

El 25 de mayo de 1980, Ángel Rama anotó en su diario un párrafo dedicado al escritor peruano José María Arguedas. En él, a través de lo que parece ser una conversación consigo mismo, Rama meditaba sobre la vastedad de los ensayos que había escrito con motivo de la narrativa arguediana; además, manifestaba su deseo de publicarlos. En efecto, dos años después, esa página —fruto de la intimidad de su autor— sería un anticipo del libro que, finalmente, publicó en 1982 titulado Transculturación narrativa en América Latina. A partir de los conceptos de “transculturación” y de “mestizaje” que desarrolló Ángel Rama, pretendo analizar tres textos del autor peruano José María Arguedas: el discurso que dio cuando recibió el premio “Inca Garcilaso de la Vega” (1968), el “Ensayo sobre la capacidad de creación artística del pueblo indio y mestizo” (1938) y, por último, el prólogo a Dioses y hombres de Huarochirí (1966) En cada uno de ellos, Arguedas evidenció una consciencia de su labor como escritor-traductor. De esta manera, reflexionaré cuáles son las relaciones de la traducción del quechua al castellano que llevó a cabo Arguedas y las definiciones que propuso Rama.

Published: March 2022

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare renal transplant recipients healthy controls, in order to find scintigraphic signs of hyposplenism or hypersplenism by using qualitative and quantitative liver-spleen scan parameters. Material and Methods: Scanning parameters were evaluated in 88 renal transplant recipients and 59 controls after administration of 5-mCi of 99mTc-stannous colloid. Spleen uptake was characterized as normal, low, or high in comparison to the liver and bone marrow pattern uptake was described as normal or high. The images were drawn over the liver and spleen for counting scintillations and measuring the area. Spleen/liver ratio from controls was correlated with qualitative spleen uptake of renal transplant recipients. Immunosuppressive regimens consisted of combinations of azathioprine or mycophenolate mofetil and rapamycin, tacrolimus or cyclosporine. Results: renal transplant recipients took up more radiocolloid and had larger livers and spleens than controls. Cases of lower (hyposplenism) and higher (hypersplenism) uptake in the spleen were more frequent in renal transplant recipients than in controls. There was a good correlation between spleen uptake of renal transplant recipients and spleen/liver ratio of controls. Discussion: renal transplant recipients liver and spleen took up more radiocolloid consistent with their enlarged state, likely due to activation of the mononuclear phagocyte system, probably by repeated exposure to infection. Low and high splenic uptake were found in renal transplant recipients, these findings are consistent with diagnosis of hyposplenism and hypersplenism respectively. Quantitative methods validated visual assessment.

Authors: Song Zhi-Hong , Zhang Tian-Jing , Xue Shue-Hong , Wang Yue 
Published: March 2022

Taking 50 companies listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock market from 2015 to 2019 as sample, the DEA-Tobit model is used to measure the managerial capability in two steps, and OLS regression is used to test whether the managerial capability affects the investment efficiency. We further test the moderating effect of property rights on the relationship between managerial capability on investment efficiency. Empirical results show that managerial capability positively influences investment efficiency. Further research indicates that, compared to privately-owned enterprises, state-owned enterprises will restrain the effect of managerial capability to improve investment efficiency.

Badminton players’ trajectory under numerical calculation method
Authors: Chi Jiaqing , Alahmadi Dimah 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The trajectory tracking of badminton players’ arm shots can be used effectively to enhance the player’s shot quality. To track the image trajectory of the batting arm, it is necessary to calculate the body posture ratio and tightness of the target area of the batting arm, to filter the background interference of the image segment of the batting and to complete the efficient tracking of the trajectory of the arm batting image. The traditional method combines the adaptive threshold segmentation method to extract the hitting arm target from the background, but ignores filtering out the background interference of the hitting image fragment. This paper proposes a trajectory tracking method based on the morphological operator of the batter image of the arm stroke. The method consists of (1) differentially calculating the image sequence of the hitting arm during two consecutive shots, (2) estimating the Gaussian model parameters of the differential image of the hitting arm during the hitting process, (3) extracting the outline of the moving target of the hitting arm during the hitting process and then calculating the body posture ratio of the hitting target area and compactness, (4) filtering the background interference of the shot image fragment, (6) constructing a global matching approximation function of the moving target and (7) finally determining the motion trajectory of the badminton arm of the batter. Simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively track the target of the hitting arm during the hitting process and generate a continuous trajectory of the hitting arm.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
This study focuses on the influence of motor transport on various indicators of park ecosystems and Taraxacum officinale Web., as well as on their applicability to the bioindication of the urban environments in the largest megalopolis of Ukraine, namely, Kyiv. Our investigations were carried out in 14 park ecosystems exposed to different levels of aerotechnogenic loading: low pollution level in Pushcha-Vodytsya (park) and outskirts, average pollution level alongseven roads with medium traffic and high pollution level along eight highways. Pollen indication, integration and statistical methods were used to identify the most sensitive indicators of the impact of air pollutants. The aim is to assess the impact of vehicle emissions on the state of park ecosystems in the metropolis using bioindication and GIS technologies. The effects of air pollution on green infrastructure at the level of cells, organisms, groups and ecosystems in time and space are revealed. Under the influence of aerotechnogenic pollution, there is a deterioration of trees, their drying, defoliation of crowns and deterioration of integral indicators of park ecosystems. Using QGIS (Free open source geographic information system, version 3.12.3 „București”, May 15, 2020), we have created maps for the spread of air pollutants. The highest levels of air pollution and damage to parks were concentrated in the central part of the city with dense buildings and near heavy traffic roads. The average daily maximum allowable concentration (MAC) of phytotoxicants exceeded 1.5 MACa.d. and depended on the terrain and directions of the prevailing winds. We registered degradation of the megalopolis ecological state by 19.3% for 7 years.
Dynamics of non-structural carbohydrates inPinus pallasianaD. Don needles under different forest growth conditions of ravine anti-erosion plantations
Authors: Bessonova Valentina , Yakovlieva-Nosar Svitlana 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe research was aimed at analysing the peculiarities of non-structural carbohydrate metabolism in the needles ofPinus pallasianaD. Don in anti-erosion plantations on the slope and in the thalweg of the Viyskovyi ravine under different forest growth conditions. The ravine is located in the Dnipropetrovsk region and belongs to the southern geographical variant of ravine forests. The studied plants grew at three experimental sites of man-made plantation: in the thalweg (forest growth conditions – mesophilic, fresh, CL2), in the middle part of the slope of the southern exposure (mesoxerophilic, somewhat dry, or semi-arid, CL1) and on the upper part of this slope (xerophilic, arid, CL0–1). Changes in glucose, fructose, reducing sugars, sucrose and starch during the period from May to October were studied.The concentration of osmotically active substances (glucose, sucrose) increases in the months with the most unfavourable hydrothermal parameters, especially in plants of mesoxerophilic and xerophilic forest growth conditions. The dynamics of fructose content revealed two maxima (July and October), when the concentration of glucose tends to increase steadily, with the highest values found in October. During the study period, the level of fructose in the needles under the arid conditions of the upper and middle parts of the slope was much lower than under the fresh conditions of the thalweg. The dynamics curve of the starch content tends to decrease from the maximum values in May to the first minimum in August. It is followed by some increase in the concentration of this polysaccharide that does not reach the previous values. The second minimum is registered in October. Such changes in the level of starch in the needles of plants are observed under all forest growth conditions. The decrease in polysaccharide content is consistent with the increase in glucose and sucrose, especially in August. A more significant increase in the concentration of soluble osmoprotective sugars (glucose, sucrose) inP. pallasiananeedles under unfavourable hydrothermal conditions compared to normal moisture conditions indicates the ability of plants to adapt to mesoxerophilic and xerophilic conditions.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Alongside the increase in air traffic and number of aircraft, the number of reported aviation events has also been increasing. We processed the data included in the European Coordination Centre for Aviation Incident reporting Systems (ECCAIRS), analyzing small and large aircraft reliability and the safety of their operations, covering events according to ICAO aviation occurrence categories. Airframe systems are the largest contributor to the total number of reported events which occurred in Polish registered aircraft in the years 2008–2020. A detailed study of airframe systems reliability was carried out in order to assess the real reason for the failures. Airframe systems faults were assigned to specific ATA chapters and then to each of their sections. The results of this analysis may support the decisions of supervisory authorities in the areas where security threats are most important. They can also help aircraft operators with identification of the airframe units which require special attention. Identification of significant parts due to the frequency of malfunctions of particular system components may support designers. In short, these results are valuable in terms of further developments in statistical tools facilitating New Product Introduction (NPI).

Authors: Pratiwi Sri Novianthi , Wijayanto Punto , Safitri Ristya Arinta 
Published: March 2022

Environmental problems in the city of Jakarta are very complex. One of the problems is that the city gets an abundance of rainwater while the availability of clean water is running low. Rainwater has great potential to be used for clean water reserves in buildings or public facilities. However, there are still many people who do not have the knowledge about how to collect and utilize rainwater, especially in the South Meruya area, West Jakarta. The manager of Child Friendly Integrated Public Space (RPTRA) that is located in South Meruya, West Jakarta, needs to be educated on the design of rainwater storage. The purpose of this Community Service is to provide knowledge to the management of the South Meruya RPTRA regarding the design of the rainwater harvesting system. The implementation method is carried out with an online meeting system. After the Community Service activity was carried out, it was found that the RPTRA management of the South Meruya village had increased knowledge about the design of rainwater storage.
