Что ждет студентов после...
Authors: Амбарова Полина Анатольевна , Зборовский Гарольд Ефимович 
Published: July 2022

В статье обсуждаются представления о будущем трудоустройстве и постобразовательной жизни студентов колледжей и вузов в зеркале «треугольника мнений» — самих студентов, их родителей, работодателей. Предметом исследования было влияние образовательной и трудовой деятельности студентов на их представления о будущей профессионально-трудовой жизни, а также оценка соответствия этих представлений реальности, отраженной в мнениях родителей и работодателей. Анализ базируется на результатах массового онлайн-опроса студентов колледжей и вузов Свердловской области (январь-февраль 2021 г., N=1349 и N=953 соответственно), полуформализованных интервью с работодателями и родителями студентов (июнь-октябрь 2021 г., N=26 и N=20 соответственно). Представления студентов о будущей профессионально-трудовой деятельности рассматриваются в контексте их сегодняшней образовательной жизни (достижения образовательной успешности, сочетания учебы и трудовой занятости), мнений их родителей о ситуации в сфере профессионального образования и перспективах будущего трудоустройства в условиях пандемии. Важным элементом являются представления работодателей о факторах (не)успешности выпускников колледжей и вузов в профессионально-трудовой сфере. В качестве гипотезы исследования было выдвинуто предположение о нелинейной связи между образовательной деятельностью и трудовой занятостью студентов и их (не)успешностью в профессиональном труде и жизнеустройстве.

Des Herrschers neue Kleider. Rekonzeption des zhǔ 主 bzw. jūn 君 und seiner Herrschaft im klassischen und Neuen chinesischen Legalismus
Authors: Renninger Philipp 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This essay re-interprets the ruler and their rulership in classical Chinese Legalism (Fǎjiā 法家) and its main work, the Hán Fēizǐ 韓非子 attributed to Han Fei 韓非 (c. 280–233 BCE). The re-interpretation takes late 19th and early 20th century New Legalism’s (Xīn Fǎjiā 新法家) focus on the ruler’s instruments of governance as a starting point. My essay raises this instrumental idea to a new level by re-conceptualizing the ruler (zhǔ 主 or jūn 君) as a dynamic figure and office. First, the legalist ruler becomes procedural. Their rulership is not a static property vested in a fixed unit. Rather, the ruler must create and sustain their office by applying the three action modes: fǎ 法 (general, standardized, public laws), shì 勢 (positional power surrounding the ruler), and shù 術 (administrative tactics kept internal and secret). Secondly, the ruler becomes relative. Their rulership is not an absolute feature pertaining to one single institution or person. Rather, every unit in state hierarchy – whether monarch, minister (chén 臣), or citizen (mín 民) – can turn into a ruler with respect to other units acting as its ministers. This re-conception of rulership renders Han Feis 2,200-year-old theory of rulership a neither out-of-date nor authoritarian analytical framework. Using this framework developed by my essay, prospective analyses can potentially apply Chinese Legalism not only to Ancient China but also to other epochs and other countries, and that in various disciplines.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
The infectious respiratory condition COVID-19 manifests a clinical course ranging from mild/moderate up-to critical systemic dysfunction and death linked to thromboinflammation. During COVID-19 infection, neutrophil extracellular traps participating in cytokine storm and coagulation dysfunction have emerged as diagnostic/prognostic markers. The characterization of NET identified that mainly histones, have the potential to initiate and propagate inflammatory storm and thrombosis, leading to increased disease severity and decreased patient survival. Baseline assessment and serial monitoring of blood histone concentration may be conceivably useful in COVID-19. We performed a literature review to explore the association among increased circulating levels of histones, disease severity/mortality in COVID-19 patients, and comparison of histone values between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients. We carried out an electronic search in Medline and Scopus, using the keywords “COVID-19” OR “SARS-CoV-2” AND “histone” OR “citrullinated histones” OR “hyperhistonemia”, between 2019 and present time (i.e., June 07th, 2022), which allowed to select 17 studies, totaling 1,846 subjects. We found that substantially elevated histone values were consistently present in all COVID-19 patients who developed unfavorable clinical outcomes. These findings suggest that blood histone monitoring upon admission and throughout hospitalization may be useful for early identification of higher risk of unfavorable COVID-19 progression. Therapeutic decisions in patients with SARS-CoV-2 based on the use of histone cut-off values may be driven by drugs engaging histones, finally leading to the limitation of cytotoxic, inflammatory, and thrombotic effects of circulating histones in viral sepsis.
Flowing through laboratory clinical data: the role of artificial intelligence and big data
Authors: Padoan Andrea , Plebani Mario 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
During the last few years, clinical laboratories have faced a sea change, from facilities producing a high volume of low-cost test results, toward a more integrated and patient-centered service. Parallel to this paradigm change, the digitalization of healthcare data has made an enormous quantity of patients’ data easily accessible, thus opening new scenarios for the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Every day, clinical laboratories produce a huge amount of information, of which patients’ results are only a part. The laboratory information system (LIS) may include other “relevant” compounding data, such as internal quality control or external quality assessment (EQA) results, as well as, for example, timing of test requests and of blood collection and exams transmission, these data having peculiar characteristics typical of big data, as volume, velocity, variety, and veracity, potentially being used to generate value in patients’ care. Despite the increasing interest expressed in AI and big data in laboratory medicine, these topics are approaching the discipline slowly for several reasons, attributable to lack of knowledge and skills but also to poor or absent standardization, harmonization and problematic regulatory and ethical issues. Finally, it is important to bear in mind that the mathematical postulation of algorithms is not sufficient for obtaining useful clinical tools, especially when biological parameters are not evaluated in the appropriate context. It is therefore necessary to enhance cooperation between laboratory and AI experts, and to coordinate and govern processes, thus favoring the development of valuable clinical tools.

Abstract
Kidney diseases are common health problems worldwide. Various etiologies ultimately lead to the development of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Natural compounds from herbs or medicinal plants are widely used for therapy and prevention of various ailments, among which is Inonotus obliquus. I. obliquus is rich in triterpenoids and the main active ingredients include betulinic acid, trametenolic acid, inotodiol, and ergosterol. New evidence suggests that I. obliquus triterpenes may be an effective drug for the treatment and protection of various kidney diseases. The aim of this review is to highlight the pharmacological activities and potential role of I. obliquus triterpenes in the kidney disease treatment and protection.
A review of research with co-design methods in health education
Authors: Iniesto Francisco , Charitonos Koula , Littlejohn Allison 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Studies using co-design methods require the meaningful involvement of stakeholders in creating new knowledge and harnessing, mobilising, and transferring existing knowledge to support comprehensive and long-term solutions. In the health sector, co-design methodology is seen as a way of supporting and engaging local communities in critical decision-making about their health. However, little is known about which specific co-design methods have been adopted, used, and implemented within health education contexts. To address this gap, this paper presents a literature review of co-design methods used to design and implement health education interventions. This rapid evidence assessment (REA) was carried out by identifying 53 papers categorised into four themes: methods, stages, stakeholders, and outcomes. We examined specific co-design methods used in health education stages to support the involvement of stakeholders, second, we reviewed the outcomes of the application of these methods. Based on the review findings, the paper reflects two areas: first, the review shows that there are a wide number of co-design methods being used to support stakeholder collaboration to design health care services as products and processes. Second, there is no clear way co-design methods are evaluated for their outcomes. This review of literature contributes an evidence base to support the future development and use of co-design in health contexts by organising relevant literature into coherent themes in ways that can inform future research.
Optimized SIW antipodal Vivaldi antenna array using Fourier series equations for C-band applications

Published: July 2022

AbstractThis paper demonstrates a novel form of substrate integrated waveguide SIW antenna array based on Fourier Series Equations. An optimized SIW power divider feeds the proposed structure where a micro-strip transition is used for impedance matching at 50 Ohm. The proposed antenna is traveling wave antenna type, in conventional methods the curve of antenna is of a linear or exponential form. In our method, we used the FSE to modify the contour of the antenna. The method is based on optimization of the Fourier series coefficients in order to maximize the gain forφ = π/2 andθ = π/2. The results of the return loss, the field’s distribution, the radiation pattern and the realized gain were analysed. Furthermore, the antenna is designed in HFSS and CST with a comparison between them. The simulated return loss was compared with experimental measurements. The return loss of the proposed 1 × 4 antenna array is less than −10  dB at 5.5–6.8 GHz with an average gain about of 6 dBi and a peak gain about of 7.2 dBi. The proposed 1 × 4 antenna array is optimized with HFSS and designed using FR4 substrate, and considered in C-band for centimeters waves applications.

Published: July 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Several metabolic disturbances are seen in acromegaly however, data regarding the contribution of irisin to these disturbances is currently insufficient. In a cohort of patients with acromegaly, we measured serum irisin levels in active and controlled cases and determined independent factors that effect serum irisin including fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5) genotyping.

Methods
A cross-sectional case-control study including 46 patients with acromegaly (28 F/18 M, age: 50.3 ± 12.1 year, BMI: 30.7 ± 5.1 kg/m2) and 81 age-, gender-, body mass index- and body composition-matched healthy controls was conducted. 15 acromegalic patients (33%) had active disease. Irisin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Three different regions (rs3480, rs1746661, and rs16835198) of FNDC5 were subjected to polymorphism analyses.

Results
Both groups were overweight and had similar body composition. Irisin levels were lower in patients with acromegaly than controls (median [IQR]: 44.8 [41.7–46.7] ng/mL vs. 51.7 [45.5–60.1] ng/mL, p≤0.001, respectively). Active and controlled patients had similar irisin levels. Irisin was not correlated with growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and IGF-1 index. In multiple linear regression model, somatostatin receptor ligand use (β=−20.30, 95% CI [−34]–[−6], p=0.006) was determined as the only independent factor that affect serum irisin.

Conclusions
Serum irisin levels are low in patients with acromegaly who are on somatostatin receptor ligand therapy. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of FNDC5 have no independent effects on circulating irisin levels under somatostatin ligand action. Endocrine muscle functions also seem to be regulated by somatostatin action, which requires further studies.

Abstract
The characteristics of cellulose micro/nanofibrils (MFC/CNF) can be improved with pre-treatments of the original fibers. The present work is proposed to study pre-treatment with sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) on bleached fibers of Eucalyptus sp. (EUC) and Pinus sp. (PIN) and its effects on the quality index of MFC/CNF. Particle homogeneity, turbidity, and microstructure of the suspensions were evaluated. Similarly, the physical-mechanical, and barrier properties of the films were studied. With the results obtained for suspensions and films, the quality index (QI) was MFC/CNF calculated. The smallest particle dimension was observed for MFC/CNF of Pinus sp. with 10 % of Na2SiO3, as well as the lowest turbidity (∼350 NTU) was obtained for MFC/CNF of Pinus sp. with 5 % of Na2SiO3. The pre-treatments reduced the transparency of the films by ∼25 % for EUC and ∼20 % for PIN. The films presented a suitable barrier to UVC radiation, water vapor, and oil. The tensile strength of EUC and PIN films was increased by 20 % using 10 % of Na2SiO3. The same concentration of Na2SiO3 provided QI 70 for EUC MFC/CNF. The Na2SiO3 was efficient to obtain the MFC/CNF with interesting properties and suitable to generate films with parameters required for packaging.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Herein we report encapsulation approaches for Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8 (CdS@ZIF-8), such as “bottle-around-the-ship” and “ship-in-the-bottle.” In this study, these composites were evaluated for antibacterial and DNA-binding properties. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the synthesis of CdS nanoparticles using ZIF-8 as a capping agent. The as-synthesized nanocomposites were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Characterization studies revealed that both encapsulation approaches provided different morphologies to the encapsulated framework. The antibacterial activity of the as-fabricated nanocomposite, in which ZIF-8 acts as a capping agent, was more effective against Escherichia coli (E. coli) than Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis). Furthermore, DNA-binding studies of nanocomposites performed by UV absorption spectroscopic titration method in E. coli genomic DNA indicated that DNA binding occurs along with cleavage. Therefore, the designed nanocomposites demonstrate great promise for future anticancer research.
Analysis of trends and variability of climatic parameters in Teff growing belts of Ethiopia
Authors: Tirfi Abera Gayesa , Oyekale Abayomi Samuel 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the trend and variability of rainfall and temperature parameters in the teff growing belts of Ethiopia. The data were obtained from weather stations and covered 1981–2018. Data analyses were carried out with descriptive statistics and time trend regression model. The results showed that short-season rainfall declined by 0.474 mm, while long-season rainfall increased by 2.72 mm. Also, the short season rainfall showed higher variability when compared to the long season rainfall. The standardized seasonal rainfall anomalies indicated severe and extreme droughts (<−1), and the results were in alignment previous droughts. In addition, over the period, the maximum and minimum temperature significantly increased by 0.13 and 0.15°C, respectively. The coefficients of variation (CV) for maximum and minimum temperatures were 2.24 and 5.10%, respectively. Anomalies in maximum and minimum temperatures were negatively low in 1981–1997 but positive in 2003–2018. There were teff yield anomalies and variability. It was concluded that variations in selected climatic parameters or their interactions accounted for teff yield variability. This necessitates provision of adequate adaptation strategies to minimize the impacts of climate change on the yields of teff.

Abstract
Orishimo, KF, Kremenic, IJ, Mullaney, MJ, Fukunaga, T, Serio, N, and McHugh, MP. Role of pelvis and trunk biomechanics in generating ball velocity in baseball pitching. J Strength Cond Res 37(3): 623–628, 2023—The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of pelvis rotation velocity, trunk rotation velocity, and hip-shoulder separation on ball velocity during baseball pitching. Fastball pitching kinematics were recorded in 29 male pitchers (age 17 ± 2 years, 23 high school, 6 college). Pelvis and trunk angular velocities and hip-shoulder separation were calculated and averaged for the 3 fastest pitches. Associations between peak pelvis velocity, peak trunk velocity, hip-shoulder separation at foot contact, and ball velocity were assessed using Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression. The average ball velocity was 33.5 ± 2.8 m·s−1. The average hip-shoulder separation at foot contact was 50 ± 12°. The peak pelvis velocity (596 ± 88°·s−1) occurred at 12 ± 11% of the time from stride foot contact to ball release, with the peak trunk velocity (959 ± 120°·s−1) occurring at 36 ± 11%. Peak trunk velocity was predictive of ball velocity (p = 0.002), with 25% of the variability in ball velocity explained. No combination of factors further explained ball velocity. Hip-shoulder separation at foot contact (17%, p = 0.027), peak pelvis velocity (23%, p = 0.008), and the timing of peak pelvis velocity (16%, p = 0.031) individually predicted peak trunk velocity. The combination of peak pelvis velocity, hip-shoulder separation at foot contact, and the timing of peak trunk velocity explained 55% of the variability in trunk rotation velocity (p < 0.001). These data highlight the importance of interactions between pelvis and trunk for maximizing velocity in pitching. Training to improve pelvis-trunk axial dissociation may increase maximal trunk rotation velocity and thereby increase ball velocity without increasing training load on the shoulder and elbow.

Abstract
Milutinović, A, Jakovljević, V, Dabović, M, Faude, O, Radovanović, D, and Stojanović, E. Isokinetic muscle strength in elite soccer players 3 months and 6 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. J Strength Cond Res 37(4): e297–e304, 2023—The aim of this study was to evaluate interlimb symmetry in quadriceps and hamstring peak torque of elite soccer players at 3 months (stage 1) and 6 months (stage 2) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Eight male professional soccer players competing at the highest level across different European countries, who had undergone ACL reconstruction, participated in this study. All patients underwent a supervised physiotherapy program after surgery. Data analyses included the use of separate two-way repeated-measures analyses of variance and effect sizes. Although knee extensor and flexor strength of the non-injured limb was found to be relatively unaltered (g = −0.10 to 0.00) between stage 1 and stage 2, comparisons across time points revealed moderate improvements in quadriceps peak torque (p = 0.01, g = 0.52), hamstring peak torque (p = 0.07, g = 0.51), and hamstring:quadriceps (H/Q) ratio (p = 0.03, g = −0.68) of the injured leg, as well as small-large improvements in the quadriceps (p = 0.004, g = 1.24) and hamstring limb symmetry index (LSI) (p = 0.056, g = 0.41). A time-dependent moderate-large asymmetry observed at stage 1 between the injured and noninjured leg in quadriceps peak torque (p < 0.001, g = −1.83), hamstring peak torque (p = 0.157, g = −0.67), and the H:Q ratio (p = 0.06, g = 1.01), as well as between the hamstring and quadriceps LSI (p = 0.03, g = −0.74) was eliminated at stage 2 (g = −0.31 to 0.42). Our findings indicate the importance of supervised and comprehensive therapy, as well as strength screening to assist in recovery aimed at optimizing identified strength deficits following ACL reconstruction.
