Objective
To examine the effectiveness and safety of non-pharmacological interventions to reduce bone loss among post-stroke adult patients.

Data sources
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Cochrane Database for Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed and PeDRO databases were searched from inception up to 31st August 2021.

Methods
A systematic review of randomized controlled trials, experimental studies without randomization and prospective cohort studies with concurrent control of non-pharmacological interventions for adult stroke patients compared with placebo or other stroke care. The review outcomes were bone loss, fall and fracture. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tools were used to assess methodological quality, and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations Framework to assess outcome quality. Synthesis Without Meta-Analysis (SWiM) was used for result synthesis.

Results
Seven studies (n = 453) were included. The methodological and outcome qualities varied from low to moderate. There were statistically significant changes between the intervention and parallel/placebo group in bone mineral density, bone mineral content, cortical thickness and bone turnover markers with specific physical and vibration therapies (p<0.05). Falls were higher in the intervention group, but no fracture was reported.

Conclusion
There was low to moderate evidence that physical and vibration therapies significantly reduced bone loss in post-stroke patients at the expense of a higher falls rate. The sample size was small, and the interventions were highly heterogeneous with different duration, intensities and frequencies. Despite osteoporosis occurring with ageing and accelerated by stroke, there were no studies on vitamin D or protein supplementation to curb the ongoing loss. Effective, high-quality non-pharmacological intervention to improve post-stroke bone health is required.

O presente trabalho tem por proposta analisar as lutas de classes presentes no cenário rural brasileiro, bem como seus distintos interesses que se desdobram em conflitos e confrontos socioterritoriais e socioespaciais, explicitando as contradições entre a classe trabalhadora, que denominamos camponeses, e a classes “dominante”, composta pela burguesia rural, que empregam o agronegócio como mecanismo de dominação. Desta forma, pretendemos compreender como as classes socias do campo, coexistem dentro do sistema capitalista, suas relações e dualidades, onde as desigualdades, sejam elas em razão do acesso aos recursos financeiros ou da composição de representatividade política que se evidencia cotidianamente no país, visto que os representantes do agronegócio utiliza-se do Estado como forma de manutenção da hegemonia no campo, uma vez que para apropriar dos territórios que estão de posse dos campesinos, necessitam do aparato institucional para legitimar aquilo a classe dominante considera direito genuíno enquanto que o seu par dialético, o campesinato reputa com violência e injustiça.
Heterogeneity and Publication Bias in Research on Test-Potentiated New Learning
Authors: Boustani Shaun , Shanks David R. 
Published: February 2022

Prior retrieval practice potentiates new learning. A recent meta-analysis of this test-potentiated new learning (TPNL) effect by Chan, Meissner, and Davis (2018) concluded that it is a robust and reliable finding (Hedges’ g = 0.44). Although Chan et al. discussed three different experimental designs that have been employed to study TPNL, we argue that their meta-analysis failed to adequately distinguish the findings from these different designs, acknowledge the significance of the substantial between-study heterogeneity across all pooled effects, and assess the degree of publication bias in the sample. We conducted a new meta-analysis that assessed the designs separately and applied appropriate corrections for publication bias. We found that studies using a standard design yield weak evidence of a TPNL effect, studies using pre-testing yield a small but reliable effect, and studies using interleaving designs yield weak evidence of a negative effect. Compared to Chan et al.’s conclusions, these reanalyses cast TPNL in a very different light and point to a pressing need for preregistered experiments to assess its reproducibility in the absence of publication bias.

Published: February 2022

Objective
Pregnant women with autoimmune (subclinical) hypothyroidism have an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, this association remains controversial in euthyroid women with thyroid autoimmunity (TAI). Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the association between TAI and GDM in euthyroid women in a logistic regression analysis with adjustments for baseline/demographic parameters.

Methods
Cross-sectional study in 1447 euthyroid women who performed their entire clinical/biological workup and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in our center. At median 13 (11–17) weeks of gestation, thyroid-stimulating hormone, free T4, and thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) were measured, baseline characteristics were recorded, and an OGTT was performed between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. Exclusion criteria were pre-pregnancy diabetes, assisted pregnancies, and women with (treated) thyroid dysfunction before or after screening. The diagnosis of GDM was based on 2013 World Health Organization criteria, and TAI was defined as TPOAb levels ≥60 kIU/L.

Results
Two hundred eighty women were diagnosed with GDM (19.4%), 26.1% in women with TAI, and 18.9% in women without TAI (P  = 0.096). In the logistic regression analysis, TAI was associated with GDM in women older than 30 years (adjusted odds ratio 1.68 (95% CI, 1.01–2.78); P  = 0.048). Maternal age >30 years, pre-pregnancy BMI ≥30 kg/m2, and other than Caucasian background were also associated with GDM; aOR 1.93 (95% CI, 1.46–2.56); P  < 0.001, 2.03 (95% CI, 1.46–2.81); P  < 0.001 and 1.46 (95% CI, 1.03–2.06); P  = 0.034, respectively.

Conclusions
In older pregnant women, the presence of TAI in euthyroid women was associated with GDM. In line with the literature data, (higher) age and BMI were strongly associated with GDM. Future investigations should focus on treatments that might prevent the development of GDM in euthyroid women with TAI.
Thoughts on Elemér Pólay’s early work: National socialism and Roman Law
Authors: Jakab Éva 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The paper deals with the publications of Elemér Pólay before and during WW2. It seeks to analyse them in their context, embedded in their contemporary political and academic environment. It focuses on one of Pólay’s early works, entitled ‘The German National Socialist Conception of Law and Roman Law’ (1938). Pólay’s paper is a valuable source on the academic situation in Hungary in the 1930s and 1940s, on the views of young scholars around Paul Koschaker in Berlin, and, indirectly, on Koschaker’s personal views concerning the National Socialist party’s manifesto.

Published: February 2022

In this study, we examined the dependence of fluorescent intensity on different factors in the synthesis process of Fe3O4-cyanine 5.5 nanoparticles. The results showed that Fe3O4 nanoparticles needed to be covered with a layer of NH2 group before reacting with cyanine 5.5-NHS ester. The best cyanine 5.5 NHS ester:Fe3O4 and cyanine 5.5 NHS ester :APTES ratios were 1:20 and 1:3, respectively. The drug delivery did not affect much on the fluorescent property while increasing in excitation wavelength could lead to increase in fluorescent intensity of the system.
La escuela laica y el librepensamiento
Authors: Abelló Teresa , Puente Ginés 
Published: February 2022

A comienzos del año 1887, Teresa Mañé y Víctor Ferrer aceptaban la propuesta del pedagogo librepensador Bartolomé Gabarró Borràs de dirigir dos escuelas laicas, una de niñas y otra de niños, en Vilanova i la Geltrú.
La llegada de las ideas laicistas a la localidad generó una gran controversia en la prensa local. En definitiva, fueron la chispa que encendió la llama de un conflicto latente entre dos modelos sociales y políticos, que venía gestándose desde hacía años entre la población. Republicanos federales, por un lado, y conservadores, por otro, dirimieron sus diferencias des de las páginas de los periódicos locales, visualizando la fragmentación de la sociedad vilanovense, en sintonía con la dinámica imperante en otros núcleos industriales.
Así, en las páginas del Diario de Villanueva, La Defensa, El Mensajero y El Vendaval, se plasmaría un enfrentamiento que hizo derramar ríos de tinta. El análisis discursivo de estas publicaciones antagónicas respecto el laicismo pedagógico, el catolicismo y el federalismo, es el objeto de este artículo que pretende radiografiar la situación vivida en Vilanova i la Geltrú a través de la prensa, reflejo de lo acontecido en otras localidades.

Published: February 2022

El inicio del poblamiento humano en la isla de Bioko (antigua Fernando Poo) (Guinea Ecuatorial) es un tema mal conocido. Investigaciones previas establecen una secuencia de ocupación exclusivamente Holocena a pesar de que Bioko ha estado conectada con el continente durante el último periodo glacial. Con objeto de localizar evidencias de ocupación Pleistocena se georeferenciaron 44 puntos/afloramientos, distinguiéndose sedimentos volcánicos y materiales volcano-sedimentarios eluviales y aluviales. Entre estos cabe destacar el hallazgo de una larga serie de sedimentos lacustres correspondientes a un paleolago ubicado en un cráter. A pesar de lo exhaustivo de las prospecciones no se halló ninguna evidencia de presencia humana atribuible a una cronología pleistocena. Nuestros resultados confirman una ocupación muy tardía de Bioko posterior a los 8000 años BP. La ausencia de ocupaciones previas podría obedecer a condiciones ecológicas hostiles (pluviosidad, parasitismo), aunque es posible que las ocupaciones pleistocenas estuvieran restringidas a las zonas costeras y que estas se encuentren hoy sumergidas.
A Versatile Solver of the Normal Modes for Horizontal Stratified Complicated Models
Authors: Wu Bo , Chen Xiaofei 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Because of the current widespread attention and interest in surface waves, whether in theoretical study or in applications, the significantly different application scales in diverse fields and the various complex media types with special properties necessitate an effective analysis tool for computing normal modes of surface waves for different models to meet all kinds of application demands. By further improving and generalizing the algorithm of generalized reflection and transmission coefficients, we propose a versatile solver of normal modes for horizontal stratified complicated models. Under a series of tests with commonly encountered models of various types and of abnormal medium properties (e.g., low-velocity layers included, fluid sandwiched), whether on the model adaptability, on the capability of the complete computation of the normal modes, or on the stability or computing efficiency, this solver fully demonstrates that it is a powerful tool for the theoretical calculation and inversion of surface waves.

The aim of this non-randomized clinical trial was to evaluate tumor outcomes and subjective quality of voice following radiotherapy and partial laryngectomy in early-stage glottic laryngeal cancers. Non-Randomized Clinical Trial. Otolaryngology and radiation oncology clinics of Imam Khomeini (an affiliated hospital of Tehran University of Medical Sciences) and Amir Aalam Hospitals. Fifteen patients with early-stage glottic laryngeal carcinoma were admitted to the otolaryngology clinic, divided into two treatment groups: radiotherapy and partial laryngectomy. Of the total 50 patients, 25 had a partial laryngectomy and 25 radiotherapies. The comparison of the average of the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) showed significant improvement of vocal quality after treatment for both partial laryngectomy and radiotherapy (P<0.0001 for both). But there was no significant difference in VHI mean scores between the two treatment groups (patients treated by partial laryngectomy and radiotherapy). Short- and long-term complication was higher in patients undergoing surgery than radiotherapy group (P<0.0001). With regard to oncological outcome after one and eight-year after treatment, no differences were observed in the two treatment groups; there was a significant relationship between smoking cessation and recurrence of disease in the partial laryngectomy treatment group (P=0.012). There was no significant difference in voice quality and life expectancy of patients operated on using open surgery and patients treated with radiotherapy in this series. Open surgery may have more noticeable complications than radiotherapy.

Published: February 2022

Background and Objectives: Catalases are a good scavenger of H2 O2 which degrades hydrogen peroxide into water and 2 2 oxygen. They are considered as a virulence factor that are present in both spores and hypha of fungi. There is limited data regarding catalase activity in Aspergillus species. This study aimed to assess the mycelial catalase activity of clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus niger, A. tubingensis, A. flavus, A. luchuensis, A. piperis and A. terreus.
Materials and Methods: Briefly, clinical and environmental Aspergillus species were used in the current study. Catalase ac- tivity was assessed for both groups of isolates including 13 A. flavus (12 clinical, 1 environmental), 13 A. terreus (8 clinical, 5 environmental), 26 A. tubingensis (13 clinical, 13 environmental), and 44 A. niger (25 environmental, 19 clinical) species. Fungal balls of mycelia were separated from the liquid culture and were crushed using homogenizer. The supernatants were collected and used for a catalase activity assay.
Results: Totally, in our study 98 Aspergillus including 45 environmental and 53 clinical isolates were assessed for catalase activity. High catalase activity was detected among environmental Aspergillus species (Mean= 1.62 mU/ml) and the mean of mycelial catalase activity among clinical A. terreus isolates was higher than environmental strains.
Conclusion: In summary, mycelial catalase activity varied among species and environmental isolates demonstrated higher catalase activity. Totally a significant difference was found between clinical and environmental Aspergillus isolates.

Published: February 2022

Background & Objective: Patients with HIV experience considerable negative affects, which may jeopardize their physical, mental, and social health. On the other hand, resilience and ambiguity tolerance in challenging situations may increase the psychological health of high-risk individuals, specifically HIV patients who are exposed to high levels of risk and stress. Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between positive and negative affect experiences and resilience and ambiguity tolerance among patients with HIV in 2019.
Materials & Methods: This study used a descriptive-correlational design. Out of the HIV patients recorded in Hematological and Oncological Research Center, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, 95 cases were selected via simple random sampling method and, then, they were included in the study. Afterwards, data collection was performed using resilience, ambiguity tolerance, and PANAS (positive and negative affect schedule) questionnaires. Subsequently, multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the collected data.
Results: There was a significantly negative relationship between the negative affect experiences and ambiguity tolerance and resilience. Besides, the positive affect experiences were shown to have a significantly positive relationship with resilience and ambiguity tolerance. In addition, results of the regression demonstrated that the resilience and ambiguity tolerance variables could appropriately predict the positive and negative affect experiences.
Conclusions: Considering the difficult conditions of the patients with HIV as well as their great number of problems, it might be possible to reduce the experiences of negative affect and, as a result, prevent the consequent outcomes of negative affect by increasing ambiguity tolerance and resilience.

Authors: Heidari P , Farokhi F , Najafi Gh , Sadeghi A 
Published: February 2022

Background & Objective: The glyphosate-based herbicide has a prominent role in the toxic mechanism in living systems. Previous studies have shown that vitamin E can have a protective effect on cells against oxidative damage. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of vitamin E against the toxic potential of glyphosate (Gly) in the reproductive system of female rats.
Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, 30 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=6), including control, glyphosate (50 mg/kg per day), glyphosate (500 mg/kg per day), glyphosate (50 mg/kg per day) + vitamin E (50 mg/kg per day), and glyphosate (500 mg/kg per day) + vitamin E (50 mg/kg per day). Glyphosate was administered orally, and vitamin E was administered by intraperitoneal injection. After 35 days, rats were euthanized, and embryo development, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, and catalase (CAT) activity were examined. Moreover, the levels of estrogen and progesterone were measured in the serum. Results were analyzed by SPSS software using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test.
Results: The glyphosate significantly decreased the percentages of fertilization, two-cell embryos, blastocysts, estrogen, and progesterone level as well as catalase activity and significantly increased MDA level in glyphosate-treated rats in comparison with controls (p<0.05). However, the results showed that vitamin E can reduce the toxicity of glyphosate administration in the mentioned parameters (p> 0.05).
Conclusion: These results have shown that vitamin E can provide the antioxidant defense with potent preventive activity against glyphosate-induced reproductive toxicities.
Relationship between Biofilm and the Presence of Drug Resistance Genes in Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella Pneumoniae in Qom Hospitals
Authors: Aghaei SS , Javadi A 
Published: February 2022

Background & Objectives: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a significant cause of nosocomial infections. This bacterium survives in difficult conditions by forming biofilms in hospital equipment and causes severe infections. On the other hand, the emergence and spread of carbapenem resistance among bacteria and biofilm production is a current health concern. There are controversial findings about the relevance of this issue. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between biofilm formation and carbapenem resistance among clinical isolates.
Materials & Methods: A total of 160 isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected. Molecular methods were used to detect resistance genes. Subsequently, the ability to produce biofilms in isolates with resistance genes was assessed. Finally, the correlation of biofilm formation among resistant isolates was calculated using χ2 test.
Results: 79 imipenem-resistant isolates were obtained. 46 isolates (66.66%) containing VIM gene, 36 isolates (52.17%) containing OXA-48 gene, five isolates (7.24%) containing NDM gene, Six isolates (8.69%) containing gene IMP and five isolates (7.24%) also had KPC gene. The results showed a significant correlation between the ability to form biofilms and the presence of carbapenem-resistant genes.
Conclusion: Increased carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and its association with biofilm formation is severe warning for basic measures to combat this phenomenon.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the relationship between maternal acceptance-rejection levels and preschool children's social competence and emotional regulation skills. Sample of the research, which was designed according to relational scanning model, consisted of 303 mother-child pairs who were attending a pre-school educational institution during 2014-15 academic years, in Istanbul, selected by random sampling. The tools used for data collection were "Personal Information Form", "Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire-Mother Form (PARQ)", "Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation-30 (SCBE-30)" and "Emotion Regulation Checklist". Maternal acceptance-rejection levels were evaluated by themselves, whereas children's social competence and emotional regulation skills were evaluated by their teachers. The obtained data were analyzed by Pearson correlation test and t-test, using appropriate statistical software. As a result of the study, it has been found that there is a positive and significant relationship between a mother's acceptance level and children's "Social Competence" subscale of SCBE-30 and their emotional regulation skills.

Keywords: Maternal acceptance-rejection, social competence, emotional regulation.
