Effect of combined use of home blood pressure monitoring and nifedipine on blood pressure compliance and quality of life of patients with essential hypertension
Authors: Wang Yingchao , Wang Yunru , Du Hua 
Published: October 2022

Purpose: To investigate the effect of combination of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) and nifedipine on blood pressure compliance and quality of life in patients with essential hypertension.
Methods: One hundred and twenty essential hypertension patients admitted to Jiaozuo Coal Industry (Group) Co. Ltd Central Hospital from February 2020 to February 2021 were retrospectively studied. They were equally divided into study group (SG) and control group (COG) according to the order of admission. All patients were treated with nifedipine. Blood pressure was regularly measured in COG patients in the consulting room, while for SG patients, blood pressure was measured at home. Treatment compliance, blood pressure-related indices and quality of life of the two groups were determined.
Results: Treatment compliance values of patients in SG at 6 weeks (T2) and 12 weeks (T3) were significantly better than the corresponding values for patients in COG (p < 0.05). The related indices of blood pressure at T2 and T3 were significantly better in SG than in COG (p < 0.05), with higher blood pressure compliance at T2 and T3 in SG (60 and 70 %, respectively) than in COG (p < 0.05). The quality-of-life scores at T3 in SG were significantly higher than those in COG (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The combined use of HBPM and nifedipine improves treatment compliance, enhances the levels of related indices of blood pressure, increases blood pressure compliance, and quality of life of patients with essential hypertension. Therefore, the combined therapy merits further investigation on a larger scale.

Published: October 2022

A regional-scale stream sediment geochemical sampling was carried out with an averagesampling density of one sample per nine square-kilometre in Kiteto District, Manyara Region.A total of 358 stream sediment samples were collected and analysed for major and traceelements by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and fire assay with atomic absorption spectrometry(AAS) finish methods. In this study, Factor and Principal Component Multivariate (FPCM)analyses have been used to the stream geochemical data to delineate potential mineralizationzones by plotting correlated factors as geochemical anomaly maps. Four factors that accountfor 73.7% of the total variance of the stream sediment geochemical data were established.Factor 1: Ni–Ba–Co–Cu–Sr which possibly defines the underlying metamorphosed graniticunits with some contribution from mafic and ultramafic rocks. Factor 2: Cr–Zn–Mn whichdefines crustal forming elements reflecting the mafic rocks. Factor 3 which entails Rb and Pbprobably attributed to metamorphosed granitic lithology. Factor 4 is arsenic, a chalcophileelement with affinity to sulfide phases. The FPCM analyses have been successfully indelineating potential target areas for gold, nickel and copper exploration in the study area.

Published: October 2022

Mushrooms degrade lignocellulosic biomass by releasing lignolytic and hydrolytic enzymes which convert lignocellulosic material into soluble and low molecular weight compounds which are then absorbed as nutrients. In the present study, enzymatic activities of Pleurotus HK 37 during growth on Saba comorensis exocarps were evaluated. It was observed that, Pleurotus HK 37 has ability to produce lignolytic enzyme (Laccase) and hydrolytic enzymes (Carboxymethyl cellulase, xylanase and filterpaperase). Maximum laccase activity of 3.33 ± 0 UmL-1 was observed during colonization period and the activity dropped during fruitification phase. Similar to hydrolytic enzymes, the activity was observed during colonization period and decreased during fruitification. However, higher filterpaperase activity of 0.93 ± 0.13 UmL–1 was observed compared to other hydrolytic enzymes (CMCase 0.78 ± 0.13 UmL–1, and Xylanase 0.56 ± 0.07 UmL–1). Pleurotus HK 37 showed ability to degrade Saba comorensis exocarps and to release enzymes which can be used in biotechnological industries.

Published: October 2022

Purpose: Scurvy is a disease that has ancient relevance but is a rare occurrence in the present times, due to the advancements in studies and convenient access to professional nutritionists and other services that provide guidance and plans to fulfil all nutritional requirements. In this case report, the authors present the case of a 68 year old male who was diagnosed with scurvy. The diagnosis and treatment of this disease has seen to be greatly delayed due to the infrequency of the cases reported, causing serious consequences for the patient. Scurvy presents with a variety of symptoms affecting the skin and soft tissues such as perifollicular hemorrhages, petechiae, bruising, and arthalgrias.
Methodology: The patient was prescribed 250 mg vitamin C supplements (also called Ascorbic acid) 3 times a day and was monitored after 2 weeks to note signs of improvements. Physical examination included observing petechial haemorrhages and bruises. Blood test should be recommended to assess vitamin C levels in blood after the prescribed duration of time.
Findings: The signs and symptoms were resolved after regular intake of ascorbic acid supplements for 2 weeks.
Recommendation: The findings signifies the need for consideration of scurvy as a possible diagnosis for petechial rash and easy bruising along with other differentials even during the modern era.
El fuera de campo pictórico a través de la obra de Sassetta. Un acercamiento a la representación espacial en el Quattrocento y su relación con lo ausente
Authors: Palés Susana 
Published: October 2022

La relación entre la imagen cinematográfica y el fuera de campo ha sido, casi desde el nacimiento del cine, una relación estrecha y de grandes posibilidades. En el ámbito pictórico, sin embargo, la relación entre la imagen y su fuera de campo se convierte en una mucho más complicada y con un gran número de limitaciones.
El presente artículo aborda la problemática sobre la existencia de este fuera de campo de carácter pictórico, pretendiendo defender la existencia del recurso más allá del ámbito cinematográfico. Para ello, se han seleccionado dos obras del pintor sienés Sassetta, que bajo un estilo a caballo entre el Gótico Internacional y el Renacimiento más prematuro, consigue establecer en su obra una relación estrecha con lo ausente, dilucidando los límites de la imagen y estableciendo unas relaciones con el fuera de campo casi inconcebibles en el contexto del siglo XV. Un breve análisis sobre el fuera de campo en la pintura quattrocentista nos ayudará a entender la importancia de Sassetta en un contexto donde el cuadro comenzaba a entenderse como ventana abierta al mundo pero sin embargo, las alusiones al espacio más allá del marco eran evitadas de forma deliberada. De esta forma, desde un prisma totalmente pictórico, pretendemos construir nuestra teoría desde las ya formuladas por Jacques Aumont o Pascal Bonitzer, que se atrevieron a defender un fuera de campo de naturaleza pictórica.

Om å benevne det unevnelige – «Sommeren 58» av Annie Ernaux og psykoanalytisk traumeteori
Authors: Sandbæk Linda 
Published: October 2022

A fundamental concern in understanding and treating trauma-related disorders is that such experiences – due to dissociation or displacement – are not integrated in ordinary memory systems and thus appear and operate beyond words. Through its indirect, experimental, and often surprising depictions, fiction approaches the gap between experience and survival and can shed light on the complexities of trauma. Here, Annie Ernaux’s depictions of the narrativization process in her novel A girl’s story (2020) are used as a point of departure for reflections on how and under what circumstances it might be possible to find words for experiences that have neither been recognized by the person implied nor talked about before. Through close reading, and in dialog with psychoanalytic trauma theory, I discuss how we might understand the possibility of representing trauma symbolically and the different modes of such representation. The movement between an experiential and a more reflective mode is discussed as a feature of Ernaux’s narrative that might have enabled the integration of experiences in consciousness. I discuss how Ernaux’s literary project described as “making the personal universal” can be understood as a process aimed at constituting a reality that had been cut off from history: directed towards the possibility of establishing a present external, and hence more authentic internal, witness to the events in the present.

Infection transmission in the built environment - the interface of biology, fluid dynamics, design and human behaviour
Authors: Noakes Cath 
Published: October 2022

COVID-19 has presented us with the most difficult healthcare and societal challenge we have faced in living memory. To understand the mechanisms of transmission we have had to rapidly collect new evidence on the SARS-CoV-2 virus ranging from laboratory data on survival and fluid dynamics studies on droplet dispersion through to epidemiological evidence from outbreaks, contract tracing and cohort studies.Over this time we have become acutely aware of the role that the environment plays in transmission, and how our interactions in indoor spaces determine the risk of infection. But this is not the first disease to be associated with the built environment. Many other respiratory diseases have a clear association with indoor spaces including tuberculosis and influenza. Pathogens such as pseudomonas, legionella are associated with water systems, and even hospital acquired infections such as MRSA have been linked to dispersion within the environment.This presentation sets out what we know about transmission of pathogens in the built environment particular focus on the complex interactions between engineering systems, fluid dynamics, microbiology and the behaviour of people that determine the dispersion, transport and survival of pathogens. Engineering and modelling approaches that can be used to understand mechanisms for transmission and implement mitigation strategies are discussed. The talk discusses how research findings may be used to support practice, and where there gaps in knowledge in both understanding of fundamental processes and the real performance of engineering solutions.

Published: October 2022

The present study was undertaken to represent mainly some strength properties of kathbadam (Terminalia catappa Linn.) wood of Bangladesh along with finding out some relevant physical properties of the same. The research works were carried out following standard test methods comparing the findings with those of standard Chittagong teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) reported earlier. The longitudinal, radial, tangential and volumetric shrinkages of T. catappa wood from green to oven-dry conditions were found 0.64%, 2.71%, 5.08% and 8.43% respectively. The specific gravity of the wood species based on oven-dry weight by green volume and oven-dry weight by oven-dry volume were found 0.46 and 0.52 respectively. The green moisture content of T. catappa wood was found 92.51%. Regarding green mechanical properties, the fibre stress at elastic limit and modulus of rupture was found 408.61 and 666.16 kg cm-2 respectively. Similarly the revealed green compressive strength parallel to grain at elastic limit and at maximum load was 210.54 and 273.74 kg cm-2 respectively. The green tensile strength parallel to grain at maximum load was revealed 438.41 kg cm-2. At the same moisture conditions the screw withdrawal capacity was determined 187.16 kg at sawn face and 170.53 at edge. All these properties of T. catappa wood were found relatively and reasonably lower than those of Chittagong teak.
CRUELTY IN THE (PSEUDO) AESTHETE: BROWNING’S ‘MY LAST DUCHESS’
Authors: Shahin Abdur Rahman 
Published: October 2022

Usually an aesthete has a love for and understanding of art and beauty, and his aesthetic perception helps to develop ethical values that govern his behaviour. It is assumed that an aesthete will not show any cruelty to the beautiful aspects of life. But a heinous murder is observed in the artistic realm of the Duke in ‘My Last Duchess’ by Robert Browning. The Duchess is killed in a very cruel manner by the Duke because of her apparently indifferent attitude towards him. The aim of this article is to explore the nature of the triumph of cruelty that makes the appeal of aesthetic values dim.

Published: October 2022

Objectives: To gain a better understanding of the emotional and mental experiences of child and adolescent athletes following a sport-related concussion, in order to better support these athletes throughout recovery.
Methods: Adolescents (n=21) ages 15-24 years who self-reported experiencing a sport-related concussion under the age of 18, participated in a retrospective, single group, qualitative analysis based on semi-structured interviews. Thematic Content Analysis was used to identify themes amongst participants’ responses.
Results: The results indicated three overarching domains with underlying themes and subthemes within: (1) Acute Challenges Post-Concussion (i.e., difficulty accepting unknowns, self-image and mattering, school, missing out and isolation, feelings of hopelessness), (2) Coping with Acute Challenges Post-Concussion (i.e., support, previous concussions, prioritizing mental health), and (3) Take-Aways Post-Concussion (i.e., learning about injury, self-growth, long lasting impacts on overall health).
Conclusion: Child and adolescent athletes face numerous emotional challenges post-concussion and following recovery; however, there are many ways in which children are resilient and cope with these challenges.
Implications: It is critical that the knowledge of child and adolescent athletes’ challenges post-concussion, as well as the successful coping mechanisms and protective factors utilized throughout recovery are used to develop better preventative and interventive strategies, in order to support the athletes’ well-being post-concussion.
Effective judicial protection and the European arrest warrant: Navigating between procedural autonomy and mutual trust
Authors: Martufi Adriano 
Published: October 2022

The article explores the ECJ case law on effective judicial protection in EAW proceedings, looking critically at the interpretation of Article 47 CFR in this context. The article reveals the approach to national procedural autonomy within the EAW case law, emerging most distinctly from the ECJ’s interpretation of “judicial authority” under Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA. The case law analysis challenges the scholarly arguments according to which the Court’s interpretation of Article 47 CFR has contributed to a significant erosion of national procedural autonomy. By contrast, the article concludes that in the context of judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the ECJ case law has mostly sought to mitigate the impact of Article 47 on national procedural autonomy. The Court may have done so to accommodate specific policy priorities pertaining to the nature of the EAW system (e.g. the fight against impunity) and uphold the principle of mutual trust.While showing internal incoherence in the interpretation of the notion of “judicial independence”, the Court has thus far failed to provide convincing arguments to secure the right to an effective judicial remedy for requested individuals in the cases at hand.

The Political Utilization of EU-Funded Research in EU Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding
Authors: Pavlov Nikolay 
Published: October 2022

The article analyses the political utilization of EU-funded research in support of EU conflict prevention and peacebuilding. By an institutional and empirical analysis, it seeks to assess the extent to which EU-funded research in this ‘high politics’ area is utilized in EU policy-making. The institutional analysis shows a highly complex and path-dependent EU institutional structure for research policymaking, marked by spill-over dynamics and supranational entrepreneurship. The empirical analysis is focussed on Horizon 2020 research projects as the main EU research policy outcomes. The direct political utilization of project results at the EU level is limited and fits the concept of ‘knowledge creep’. EU-funded research projects have contributed indirectly to the development of concepts which are in use in EU policy-making, such as civilian capabilities and gender mainstreaming. Project research outcomes have also been used internally in the scientific domain in terms of accumulation of scientific capital. The empirical results show a very limited level of EU research integration in this cross-sectoral area with clear horizontal differentiation between Western and Eastern Europe.
