[Increased efficacy of thrombolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction by improved properties of new thrombolytic agents].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Thrombolysis is a milestone in the therapy of acute myocardial infarction due to its ubiquitous availability and ease of application. The recombinant form of tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) has been proven to be superior over first generation fibrinolytic agents (streptokinase, urokinase, APSAC) with respect to efficacy and side effects and the front-loaded regimen has meanwhile become the "gold"-standard of thrombolytic therapy. Biochemically modified mutants of wild-type t-PA, e.g. r-PA (reteplase), n-PA (lanoteplase), and TNK-t-PA have altered biochemical and pharmacokinetic characteristics which make them more easy to use (as double or single bolus injection) and share a theoretical efficacy benefit. This article describes these specific characteristics focussing on clot-selectivity and PAI-1 resistance of the new mutants of wild-type t-PA and their possible clinical efficiency.
Seaweeds Metabolites: Characterization and Applications as Phyco-Nutraceuticals

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

For decades, it has been evidenced that seaweeds are used as part of the human diet in many parts of the world. Across the globe, it has been investigated and accepted that seaweeds are rich source of diverse bioactive compounds and can be used as functional foods. These bioactive compounds or metabolites are derived in the form of peptides, polysaccharides, fatty acids, pigments and polyphenols. They have various bioactive properties like anti-cancerous, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidants and anti-diabetic. Further, these findings were noticed by pharmaceutical industries that seaweeds can be employed as nutraceuticals for various human ailments. Environmental factors contribute to maximum diversification in the production of metabolites; therefore, there is a need to develop a better understanding of the functional importance of novel metabolites through screening. Several modern analytical tools have been used to elucidate the functionality and characterisation of the metabolic network. This study of metabolic network regulation forms the newly emerging field regarded as metabolomics. This chapter highlights various types of metabolites in seaweeds as phyco-nutraceuticals. Also, various techniques have been discussed to characterize and profile seaweed-derived metabolites. The chapter also emphasises the seaweed-derived bioactive compounds' potential and economic importance<br>
Biotechnology patents and ethical aspects.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Should we set any limits on patenting? More specifically, must we set any limits on patenting in the field of biotechnology? There should be general agreement on the exclusion of humans from patentability. The European Parliament voted unanimously on an amendment to the Community Directive regarding patenting stating that the human body and its parts are not patentable as such. Patenting of humans indeed would be against fundamental human rights; against the shared principles of freedom, autonomy, and dignity of each single human being. The same reasons apply to requests to reject the "commercialization of the human body." However, much more difficult is reaching a consensus on what are the parts of humans that should not be marketed--organs, tissues, cells, genes, smaller DNA fragments? Probably there is no consensus on where to draw the line when we deal with parts of the human body. Nevertheless, an ethical component is very strong in raising opposition to patenting human DNA. Whatever our personal view on the issue, we cannot deny that ethical aspects must be considered in granting patents on human DNA. With reference to animals, the fears raised are that the patenting of transgenic animals could amplify the instrumental use (reification) and the neglect of their sentient nonobjectual nature: patenting could motivate, instead, the tendency to consider animals as the standard of things invented and as new consumer products. Moreover, animal patenting increases production and thus brings about the great suffering of animals. In regard to plants, the ethical implications of patenting have more to do with their socioeconomic effects, in particular on Third World countries, than for the organisms involved.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Doctors condemn NHS comparison website

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The Department of Health has launched a web tool that will allow patients to rate and compare hospitals as if they were on an internet comparison site.

The hospital “scorecard” on the NHS Choices website will enable patients to read reviews on mortality rates, infection rates (including rates for meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium difficile ), cleanliness, staff performance, quality of food, the extent to which patients were involved in decisions concerning their care and whether they would recommend the hospital to friends and …
3D Hall MHD Modeling of Solar Wind Plasma Spectra

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We present fully self consistent 3D simulations of compressible Hall MHD\nplasma that describe spectral features relevant to the solar wind plasma. We\nfind that a $k^{-7/3}$ spectrum sets in for the fluctuations that are smaller\nthan ion gyro radius. We further investigate scale dependent anisotropy led by\nnonlinear processes relevant to the solar wind plasma. Our work is important\nparticularly in understanding the role of wave and nonlinear cascades in the\nevolution of the solar wind, structure formation at the largest scales.\n

Academic Performance Antecedent Scale: Validation with Native and Recent Immigrant Children

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study aims to assess the measurement invariance of the three subscales of the newly developed Academic Performance Antecedent Scale (APAS) — School Factors, Mother's Parenting Style, and Individual Factors—across native and new immigrant children in Taiwan. The study sample comprised 527 Grade 4 students ( M age = 10.4 yr., SD = 0.6), 263 boys and 264 girls. The three groups were urban and rural children of Taiwanese natives ( n = 343, 65.1%), and 184 children with non-Taiwanese mothers (34.9%). The four-factor structure of the School Factors Subscale, the three-factor structure of the Mother's Parenting Style Subscale, and the five-factor structure of the Individual Factors Subscale all showed at least acceptable fit for the groups. In addition, metric invariance was confirmed for the School Factors and Individual Factors Subscales. Metric invariance was partially obtained for the Mother's Parenting Style Subscale. The findings provide validity evidences for cross-cultural generalizability of the APAS.
An Ordinal, Concept-driven Approach to Measurement: The Lexical Scale

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

A key obstacle to measurement is the aggregation problem. Where indicators tap into common latent traits in theoretically meaningful ways, the problem may be solved by applying a data-informed (“inductive”) measurement model, for example, factor analysis, structural equation models, or item response theory. Where they do not, researchers solve the aggregation problem by appeal to concept-driven (“deductive”) criteria, that is, aggregation schemes that do not presume patterns of covariance across observable indicators. This article introduces a novel approach to scale construction that builds on the properties of concepts to solve the aggregation problem. This is accomplished by regarding conceptual attributes as necessary-and-sufficient conditions arrayed in an ordinal scale. While different sorts of scales are useful for different purposes, we argue that “lexical” scales are in many cases superior for research questions where it is relevant to combine the differentiation of an ordinal scale with the distinct, meaningful categories of a typology.
STUDIES WITH BRUCELLA ENDOTOXIN IN HUMANS: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SUSCEPTIBILITY TO ENDOTOXIN IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF BRUCELLOSIS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The mechanisms by which patients ill with brucellosis develop their characteristic symptoms of fever, chills, myalgia, asthenia and malaise have not been precisely elucidated. In particular, the contributions of the brucella cell itself to the pathogenesis of these clinical features have not been extensively investigated. An unusual clinical observation (1) suggested that some component of the cell did play a significant role. When patients seriously ill with brucellosis due to Brucella melitensis were treated with chlortetracycline, an unexpected abrupt febrile response often occurred within 8 to 12 hours after the initial dose of the antibiotic. These adverse reactions could be abolished or ameliorated by administering smaller initial doses of the antibiotic. Such effects suggested to the observers that, as a result of the antibrucella activity of the chlortetracycline, brucella cells were killed, thus liberating some cellular component which then produced the febrile response. This component was presumably the endotoxin of the cell.
Correlation of orthodontic treatment motivation and the level of treatment needs based on the index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN) of orthodontic patients

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Malocclusion has an impact on the quality of life, thus becoming the motivation for orthodontic treatment. Subjective and objective needs for orthodontic treatment vary, where subjective needs are sometimes higher or maybe lower than objective needs, vice versa. The Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) is an index used to see the level of treatment needs. This study was aimed to analyse the correlation of orthodontic treatment motivation and the level of treatment needs based on the index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN) of orthodontic patients. Methods: The research was correlation analytical. The motivation for orthodontic treatment was assessed using a questionnaire consisted of aspects of oral health motivation, oral function, aesthetics, psychosocial, and influence from others. The level of orthodontic treatment needs was assessed using the IOTN dental health component. Results: It was found that the patients’ motivation related to aesthetics was high. The motivation to get orthodontic treatment due to oral health, oral function, and psychosocial conditions was moderate, while related to the influence of others was low. The level of need for grade 4 treatment shows the largest percentage (48.57%). Gamma correlation analysis between motivation variables related to the oral and psychosocial function with the level of treatment needs showed a significantly positive correlation with the p-values of 0.003 and 0.022, categorized as weak correlation. Conclusion: There is a weak correlation of orthodontic treatment motivation and the level of treatment needs based on the index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN) of orthodontic patients.
Mapping the gendered city: investigating the socio-cultural influence on the practice of walking and the meaning of walkscapes among young Saudi adults in Riyadh

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Walking is a mode of perceiving the city which also contributes to health and social benefits. This paper studies the influence of the socio-cultural aspects on the practice of walking and the meaning of walkscapes in Riyadh, one of the most auto-dependent and gender-segregated cities on the Arab Peninsula, where socio-cultural values and restrictions regulate men and women’s use and access to public spaces. The methodology used is a combination of movement tracking data using GPS technology and map-based workshops where participants can reflect on their walking behaviour and spatial preferences. The results of mapping where the respondents walk show a city consisting of gender-specific walkscapes. Indoor environments, such as shopping malls, function as ‘urban shelters’ for women, so they use such spaces for walking. On the other hand, young men mainly walk in urban streets, which provide greater opportunities for gender interaction. However, streets are socially conceived as men’s walkscapes, which limits women’s presence, especially at certain times of the day. This paper reveals how walking experience, tempo-rhythm, sense of place and range of walkscapes are not only determined by ‘universal’ spatial qualities but also influenced by socio-cultural settings.
The Effects Of A Single Bout Exercise On Rankl Pathway, Cytokines And Bone Turnover Markers In College Women

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

PURPOSE: Exercise is well known to play a positive role in bone metabolism, but few studies have examined changes in exercise intensity relative to receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL)/ Osteoprotegerin (OPG) factors that regulate osteoclastogenesis. The objective of this study was to investigate the changes of RANKL pathway factors, cytokines, and bone turnover markers by applying moderate intensity and high intensity exercise. METHODS: Ten female collegiate students (21.8±2.4yrs) completed two exercise sessions 1) moderate intensity exercise (60% VO2max) and 2) high intensity exercise (80% VO2max) with seven days interval. Calorie outputs of two exercise sessions were matched (250 kcal). Blood samples were collected before, immediately after, and 90 min after exercise and were analyzed for serum levels of RANKL pathway (RANKL, OPG), cytokines (IL-6; Interleukin 6 and TNF-α; Tumor necrosis factor-alpha), and bone turnover markers (osteocalcin, CTx; collagen type 1 cross-linked C-telopeptide, Vitamin D). RESULTS: As a result, there was no significant time x group interaction effect for RANKL pathway, cytokines, and bone turnover markers (N.S.). A significant time effect was observed for TNF-α (F=26.185, p=.001) but, post-hoc analysis showed no significant effects. A significant group effect was observed for CTx (F=11.386, p=.006) but, post-hoc analysis showed no significant effects. However, significant correlation was found among RANKL pathway, cytokines, and bone turnover markers. It was found that TNF-α had a positive correlations with RANKL (r=.685, p=.000) and OPG (r=.244, p=.021). In addition, study shows that Vitamin D had a negative correlation with RANKL(r=-.323, p=.004) and OPG(r=-.278, p=.008), and had a positive correlation with OPG / RANKL ratio(r=.252, p=.026). CONCLUSIONS: This results suggest that a single bout of exercise used in current study may not enough to induce changes in RANKL pathway, cytokines, and bone turnover markers in 20s women with maximal bone mass. We also found that TNF-α and vitamin D have positive and negative relationship with RANKL and OPG respectively. Supported by NRF Grant 2015S1A5A2A01011501.
Why are concerned parties legitimized superiorly in NIMBY problems: Effects of the maximin principle and moral foundations on the right to decide on a high-level radioactive waste storage facility

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

当事者の優位的正当化とは，NIMBY問題の構造を持つ公共施設の立地に関する決定権をめぐって，人々が当事者（地元住民など）に他のアクター（行政など）よりも優位的な決定権を承認する傾向と定義される。これは，当該施設に対する当事者の拒否の連鎖を生むことで，社会の共貧化をもたらす。優位的正当化の背景には，マキシミン原理と道徳判断の影響が考えられる。地層処分場を例として，集団（内集団ないし外集団）と当事者（統計的人数ないし特定個人）による2×2の実験を行った。内集団のみならずマキシミン原理が作動しない外集団でも，当事者の優位的正当化が示された。この傾向は，内集団において当事者が特定個人として呈示された場合に，より顕著であった。また，個人志向の道徳判断から当事者の正当性に対するパスは内集団で顕著であった。NIMBY問題に対する道徳研究からのアプローチには，今後の理論的な展開可能性が期待できる。

Perception of Implicit Biases within Internal Medicine Residency Recruitment

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background: Few studies have addressed biases within residency admissions. Understanding the perceptions of implicit biases (IB) within residency admissions is essential to identify targets for potential interventions. Our objectives were to assess the interviewers’ perception of IB within the internal medicine (IM) residency interview process and the impact of former Implicit Association Test (IAT) completion and/or IB training on these perceptions. Methods: We surveyed all interviewers within an IM Residency program following the 2017-2018 interview cycle, assessing the perception of global and individual IB on evaluation of candidates, the perceived role of IAT completion and IB training, and mitigation strategies employed. Responses were assessed in four-subgroups based on exposure to IAT or IB training, analyzed with one-way ANOVA testing. Thematic analysis was performed of the free-text comments. Results: Of 113 interviewers, 68 (60%) completed the survey. The majority (79%, n=54) agreed or strongly agreed that biases exist within interviews, while 59% (n=40) agreed or strongly agreed that their own biases impact interview evaluations. The belief of one’s own biases impacting evaluation differed significantly between subgroups (52% in those without any IAT/training, compared to 69% with both, p .05). Additionally, 90% (n=26) of those that had completed both IAT or IB training described using strategies to mitigate bias in the interview process, compared to 52% (n=11) that had not completed either (p < 0.001). Qualitative analysis revealed differing mitigation strategies between subgroups. Conclusions: Self-reported bias in the residency interview process exists. IB training and IAT were associated with self-reported implementation of mitigation strategies.
The multiple faces of violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict represents a rather peculiar case, where violence opens multiple interpretations. It is a form of State violence with a double dimension: as an internal phenomenon - the use of force by Israeli IDF soldiers against the Palestinian population in the occupied territories, and the suicide terror employed by Hamas in Israel. It is an external phenomenon, i.e. the targeted attacks by the Israeli army against Palestinian houses or Hamas militants, and the Qassam missile attacks from the occupied territories. These actions are at the same time used as motives and goals that sustain the discourse around the legitimised use of violence. From each point of view – Israeli and Palestinian - violence is always justified and engenders a cycle of violence that fosters the process of an intractable conflict. In what way is the discourse, the ethics and the legitimacy constructed? Who are the social actors involved? We will look at two different processes; firstly, to the sacralization of land to which Israel geographers refer as “land grasping”. Secondly, the meaning and the social and political implications set by this process.
