Abstract
Background: The pathological features of severe cardiac injury induced by COVID-19 and relevant clinical features is unknown. This post-mortem study intended to determine the pathological findings of hearts from critically ill COVID-19 cases and explore the association of pathological changes and clinical characteristics.Methods: This autopsy cohort study, including hearts from 26 deceased COVID-19 patients admitted in intensive care unit, was conducted at four sites in Wuhan, China. Pathological changes were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin, and immunohistochemical staining. Cases were divided into neutrophil-infiltration group and no-neutrophil group according to histopathological identification of neutrophilic infiltrates or not. Results: Among 26 cases, four cases had active myocarditis with histopathological examination. All cases with myocarditis accompanied with extensive neutrophil infiltration, while cases without myocarditis did not. Detection rates of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α in neutrophil-infiltration group were significantly higher compared to no-neutrophil group. At admission, patients with neutrophil infiltration in myocardium had significantly higher baseline values of aspartate aminotransferase, D dimer and high-sensitivity C reactive protein compared to other 22 patients (P<0.05 for all). During hospitalization, patients with neutrophil infiltration had a significantly higher maximum of creatine kinase (CK)-MB than patients without neutrophil infiltration. Conclusions: In hearts from deceased patients with severe COVID-19, active myocarditis was commonly infiltrated with neutrophils. Cases with neutrophil-infiltrated myocarditis had severe abnormal laboratory tests involving multiple organs at admission, and a high peak value of CK-MB during hospitalization. Role of neutrophil on severe heart injury and even systemic condition in COVID-19 should be emphasized.

Abstract
Aspect-level sentiment classification aims to integrating the context to predict the sentiment polarity of aspect-specific in a text, which has been quite useful and popular, e.g. opinion survey and products’ recommending in e-commerce. Many recent studies exploit a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to perform aspect-level sentiment classification, but the limitation of long-term dependencies is not solved well, so that the semantic correlations between each two words of the text are ignored. In addition, traditional classification model adopts SoftMax function based on probability statistics as classifier, but ignores the words’ features in the semantic space. Support Vector Machine (SVM) can fully use the information of characteristics and it is appropriate to make classification in the high dimension space, however which just considers the maximum distance between different classes and ignores the similarities between different features of the same classes. To address these defects, we propose the two-stages novel architecture named Self Attention Networks and Adaptive SVM (SAN-ASVM) for aspect-level sentiment classification. In the first-stage, in order to overcome the long-term dependencies, Multi-Heads Self Attention (MHSA) mechanism is applied to extract the semantic relationships between each two words, furthermore 1-hop attention mechanism is designed to pay more attention on some important words related to aspect-specific. In the second-stage, ASVM is designed to substitute the SoftMax function to perform sentiment classification, which can effectively make multi-classifications in high dimensional space. Extensive experiments on SemEval2014, SemEval2016 and Twitter datasets are conducted, compared experiments prove that SAN-ASVM model can obtains better performance.

Abstract
Barium-calcium phosphoaluminate ((C,B)8A6P) mineral was synthesized by introducing Ba2+ into the lattice of calcium phosphoaluminate (C8A6P) mineral and it owned the better hydration activity than C8A6P. In this study, the formation kinetics and mechanism of (C,B)8A6P mineral was firstly systematically explored. The experimental results indicated that calcination temperature had a significant effect on the formation of (C,B)8A6P mineral. The conversion rate of (C,B)8A6P mineral was less than 0.5 and reaction rate was less than 9.4 × 10-7 with the holding time of 8 h at 1500-1530 °C. Nevertheless, the conversion rate and reaction rate reached 0.8 and 9.4 × 10-7, respectively, with the holding time of only 2 h when the calcination temperature ranged from 1540 °C to 1560 °C. In addition, the Jander equation was feasible for the formation of (C,B)8A6P with activation energy of 1310 kJ ∙ mol-1 at 1500-1530 °C, while the Ginstling equation was feasible for use with activation energy of 324 kJ ∙ mol-1 when the calcination temperature ranged from 1540 to 1560 °C.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
In light of the novel coronavirus and transmission in schools, increased scrutiny has been placed on airborne viral and particulate contamination, and efforts to mitigate this have been suggested, including the use of air purification. The importance of this is increased given the relationship between increased airborne particulates and increased coronavirus transmission, as well as the significance of removing particulates in the size range of bacteria and viruses from the air. Ambient levels of pm2.5 and pm1 in the absence of purification were recorded in two classrooms of similar size using medical grade data loggers, which then measured the change in these levels with use MedicAir air purifiers. It was found that baseline levels at times doubled the WHO limits for safe IAQ- MedicAir units were able to rapidly reduce levels of particulates to significantly below guidelines. We propose that the use of these units is an effective and rapid solution for the mitigation of coronavirus transmission, as well as the improvement of IAQ in schools.

Abstract
Increasing of demand for water, allocation of limited water resources, climatic variability, degradation of water in the environment and developing of policies for sustainable water use are issues of increasing concern in the Kontsa irrigation project. This study aimed at assessing the effects of selected irrigation methods on water demand and allocation among farmers in Kontsa irrigation project. The study employed both primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected by interviewing 80 farmers, key informant interviews and observation of the project area while secondary data were collected from different agencies of Ethiopia. For this study Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model was used to model the current situation of irrigation water demand and also to create scenario for future irrigation water demand. The model was set up for a current account year in 2015 and last year of scenarios in 2040 based on the available data. Then the irrigation water demand of the project area was modeled while giving consideration for existing and planned developments in the area. The result from the current situation of irrigation water demand indicated that the demand was satisfied fully and the unmet demand under the base year (2015) was zero. Additionally, irrigation expansion scenario was created and the result of this scenario indicates the increment of irrigation water demand as compared to the base year and the reference scenario. The study also revealed that furrow irrigation and plastic buckets were the main irrigation techniques employed by farmers in the study area.

Abstract
Background SARS-CoV-2, a novel corona virus, has caused clusters of fatal pneumonia worldwide. Immune compromised patients are among the high risk groups with poor prognosis of the disease. The presence of bacterial or fungal co-infections with SARS-CoV-2 is associated with increased mortality. Methods The electronic data of the liver and kidney recipients, hospitalized in COVID-19 intensive care unit in an 8-month period in 2020 were retrospectively assessed. The documented bacterial or fungal infections alongside with outcome and risk factors were recorded and analyzed by binary logistic regression model and multivariate analyses. Results Sixty-Six liver and kidney recipients were included this study. Twenty one percent of the patients had at least one episode of co-infection during their COVID-19 course. Bacterial and fungal co-infections contributed to a significantly higher mortality. Urine and sputum were the most common sites of pathogen isolation (45.45 % and 36.36%; respectively). The majority of infections were caused by vancomycin- resistant Enterococci (30%). Escherichia coli stood in the next position with 23.3%. Prior hospitalization and high does corticosteroid use were associated with co-infections (p=0<0.001 and p=0.02; respectively.)Conclusions Bacterial and fungal co-infections with COVID-19 are more prevalent in solid organ recipients compared to the general population. Prior hospitalizations and use of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents lead to emergence of multi-drug resistant pathogens in this susceptible patient population. Early detection and treatment of co-infections as well as antibiotic stewardship is recommended in solid organ recipients.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Passiflora setacea DC (Passifloraceae) is considered an important species in the genetic breeding of passion fruit. However, its use is limited due to low seed germination. This paper aimed to study the effect of cytokinins 6-benzyladenine (BA) and thidiazuron (TDZ) on the in vitro morphogenesis of P. setacea using three explants: hypocotyl, nodal segment, and root segment. The explants were induced to morphogenesis in MS medium modified and with different concentrations of BA and TDZ. After 55 days, the percentage of calluses and shoots were evaluated, and anatomical characterization was performed. The three explants used in the in vitro morphogenesis of P. setacea showed callus and shoots formation, but in greater numbers in the nodal segments treated with BA. TDZ isolated affected equal to or less than BA on callus and shoots formation for the three explants. Direct and indirect organogenesis was observed in the three types of explants. From the results obtained for plant regeneration via in vitro morphogenesis of P. setacea, it is recommended to use a nodal segment in MSM medium and supplemented with 2.22 μmol L-1 of BA.
Optimal Autonomic Management of Service-Based Business Processes in the Cloud
Authors: Hadded Leila , Hamrouni Tarek 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm that provides hardware, platform and software resources as services over the internet in a pay-as-you-go model. It is being increasingly used for hosting and executing service-based business processes. These business processes are exposed to dynamic evolution during their life-cycle due to the highly dynamic evolution of cloud environments. The main adopted technique is to couple cloud computing with autonomic management in order to build autonomic computing systems. Almost all the existing approaches on autonomic computing have been focused on modeling and implementing autonomic mechanisms without paying any attention to the optimization of the autonomic management cost. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel approach based on binary linear program for determining the optimal allocation of cloud resources to manage a service-based business process which guarantees the specific requirements of customers and minimizes the management monetary cost. Then, to validate our approach under realistic conditions and inputs, we extend the CloudSim simulator to model and simulate the behaviour of business processes and their management in a cloud environment. Experiments conducted on two real datasets highlight the effectiveness of our approach.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
In this article, we introduce the variety of monadic MTL-algebras as MTL-algebras equipped with two monadic operators. After a study of the basic properties of this variety, we define and investigate monadic filters in monadic MTL-algebras. By using the notion of monadic filters, we prove the subdirect representation theorem of monadic MTL-algebras and characterize simple and subdirectly irreducible monadic MTL-algebras. Moreover, present monadic monoidal t-norm based logic (MMT L), a system of many valued logic capturing the tautologies of monadic MTL-algebras and prove a completeness theorem.AMS Classification: 08A72, 03G25, 03B50, 03C05.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
It is essential to enhance life quality in patients with premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) with the use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The aim of the study was to assess symptom burden and life quality in patients with a low PVC burden following RFA. 31 individuals with a low PVC burden in whom RFA was indicated were included in the study. At baseline and after a year following RFA, the Arrhythmia-Specific questionnaire in Tachycardia and Arrhythmia (ASTA) scale was used for appraisal. A 24-hour Holter electrocardiogram was used to detect recurrent PVCs 12 months after the RFA intervention. ASTA scores related to symptom burden, including the near-syncope score, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scales pertaining to physical and mental health, and consequently the total HRQOL score, were all diminished a year after RFA (p<0.001). The ASTA score for syncope symptoms was also reduced (p<0.05). A fall in mean PVC burden was seen from 8.0% to 0.8% (p<0.001). The long-term clinical endpoint in individuals with a low PVC burden following RFA is reported. Symptom load, life quality and ultimate PVC burden were all enhanced. Additional studies incorporating longer follow-up and monitoring periods, respectively, would be beneficial.
Dekolonisasi di Asia dan Pembacaan Alkitab yang Membebaskan dalam Pandangan Kwok Pui-Lan
Authors: Hasiholan Sonny Samuel 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe history of colonialization in Asia left traditions and perspectives that were often oppressive. Minority or weak groups, often become victims. When this oppression and injustice occurs, and the oppressed group feels it is normal, it will be passed on to the next generation. Oppressive traditions and worldviews also occur in Christianity and in Bible reading. This article explores how Feminist Theologian Kwok Pui Lan tries to decolonialize Bible reading through dialogue and imagination. Kwok Pui Lan, in particular, pays attention tothe injustice that is caused by problems of race and gender. With dialogue and imagination between Bible readers and listeners in their specific contexts the gospel message will reach everyone in their existence, and make them free human beings. In the end, the Bible and the good news it carries are not only read according to strong and powerful interests, but have a variety of voices that can greet anyone.
AbstrakSejarah kolonialisasi di Asia meninggalkan tradisi dan cara pandang yang tidak jarang menindas. Kelompok minoritas atau yang lemah, seringkali menjadi korbannya. Ketika penindasan dan ketidakadilan ini terjadi, dan kelompok yang tertindas merasa hal itu sebagai sebuah kewajaran maka akan bertahan dan diwariskan kepada generasi berikutnya. Tradisi dan cara pandang yang menindas juga terjadi dalam kekristenan dan pembacaan Alkitab. Artikel ini menelusuri bagaimana Kwok Pui Lan, seorang Teolog Feminis, mencoba melakukan dekolonialisasi terhadap pembacaan Alkitab diantaranya melalui dialog dan imajinasi. KwokPui Lan secara khusus memberikan perhatiannya kepada ketidakadilan yang dilatarbelakangi oleh persoalan ras dan gender. Dengan dialog dan imajinasi antara pembaca Alkitab dan pendengar dengan konteks mereka yang khas maka kabar baik dalam Alkitab akan sampai kepada setiap orang dalam keberadaan mereka, dan menjadikan mereka manusia yang merdeka. Pada akhirnya Alkitab dan kabar baik yang dibawanya tidak saja dibaca menurut kepentingan yang kuat dan berkuasa, melainkan memiliki keragaman suara yang dapatmenyapa siapa saja.

Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a markedly
elevated cardiovascular (CV) risk due to premature atherosclerosis. Previous studies have shown
that intense glycemic control reduces the incidence of CV disease. Antiplatelet therapy is considered
to be a very important therapy for secondary prevention of recurrent atherothrombotic events
in patients with DM, while it may be considered for primary prevention in individuals with T1DM
with additional CV risk factors. The aim of the present review is to summarize existing literature
data regarding the thrombotic risk in T1DM patients and discuss current treatment strategies.
Acute to Subacute Spinal Cord Infarction Mimicking Acute Multiple Sclerosis:
Usefulness of Diffusion-weighted MRI for Diagnosis
Authors: Lee Kyoung Yeon , Khil Eun Kyung , Jo Sang Won , Jang Min Uk , Choi Jung-Ah , Lee Min-Sang 
Published: January 2022

Background:
Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is difficult to diagnose because of its rarity,
unknown etiology, and unestablished diagnostic criteria. Additionally, the timeline of SCI has not
been studied in detail, as few studies using diffusion-weighted image (DWI) sequences of the spine
of a small target population have been previously conducted.

Case Study:
A 56-year-old male with underlying arrhythmia suddenly developed visual field defects
on the right side, pain in the left upper extremity, and a tingling sensation in the left hand.
Brain Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed acute to subacute stages of multifocal brain infarction.
On additional cervical spinal MRI, it showed atypical MRI findings of SCI, considered
late acute to early subacute phase, which were similar to those seen in the acute phase of multiple
sclerosis (MS). Additional DWI revealed restricted diffusion. From these findings, it could be inferred
that the patient’s SCI occurred at the same time as the multifocal brain infarctions caused by
atrial fibrillation.

Conclusion:
A DWI sequence of spine MRI could be helpful in the diagnosis of acute to subacute
phase SCI and in differentiating with acute MS.
La participación: sus trayectorias analíticas y una propuesta de modelo para su investigación en los estudios políticos
Authors: Martínez Espinoza Manuel Ignacio 
Published: January 2022

<p>La <em>participación</em> tiende a ser un término ambiguo, vago y vacuo, lo cual dificulta su utilidad como categoría analítica válida en los estudios políticos. Este artículo tiene el objetivo de reducir la confusión terminológica de la participación mediante tres estrategias analíticas: reconocer la médula política del concepto, identificar sus atributos esenciales definitorios y proponer un modelo de variables exhaustivas para su abordaje sistemático. Se analiza el concepto de participación mediante cuatro factores medulares a manera de preguntas básicas: “¿qué?”, “¿por qué?”, “¿para qué?” y “¿cómo?”, es decir, las definiciones, las razones, los objetivos y las modalidades de la participación. El modelo analítico que se propone se estructura en torno a cuatro tipos de factores que inciden en la participación: las variables estructurales, institucionales, contextuales e individuales. La indagación conceptual identifica que la participación refiere a un proceso que, aun iniciando en el ámbito individual, adquiere sentido en el espacio colectivo, por lo que los procesos participativos dependen de las estructuras, instituciones, contextos, actores, valores y prácticas enmarcadas en la interacción entre los poderes constituidos y los poderes constituyentes.</p><p> </p>
