Predictable Failure of the Measures against “Excessive Personal Debt” in France? A Form of Social Assistance – Viewed from a Sociological Angle

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Personal financial debt levels of a population provide an indicator of on-going hardship and insecurity. By the end of 2013 in France, commissions set up in 1989 to stabilise the level financial debt had received over a million requests. Despite heavy legislation aiming at maximum deleveraging, a growing number of groups of individuals are still struggling to manage their everyday finances. This article will make a critical assessment of public policy measures introduced to tackle excessive debt in France. It will go on to argue that, the legal and social approach to the issue of personal debt has, in reality, contributed to its failure – from a solidarity point of view at least.

Open questions about the farmlands’ biodiversity preservation in the cities’ peripheries – a Wrocław case (Poland)

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

One of the necessary conditions for sustainable development is maintaining and developing environmental resources. The paper presents and discusses the idea that the field woods in the cities’ agricultural periphery, understood as habitats and not only a collection of trees, should be preserved and managed as a formal element of urban green infrastructure (GI). According to the authors, they should be seen as a great connecting element between urban green and the semi-natural areas outside. Even assuming the future land use transformation, it is worth preserving them from degradation just now. They play a role in protecting natural resources and the functions of ecosystems, expected from elements of GI, as they are a source of dispersion of various species of plants and animals benefit both for agricultural areas located further and for greenery in built-up areas. Using the authors’ own research on the farmland area situated within Wrocław administrative borders, and available literature, the following issues were considered: 1) the geographic and topographic characteristics of field woods, 2) evaluation of the role of field woods studied for the local biodiversity, 3) the risk factors for the degradation or disappearance of field woods and their biodiversity, 4) the legal regulations concerning the protection of field woods in Poland. Some legal and practical solutions are suggested.
Automatic Actionable Information Processing and Trust Management towards Safer Internet of Things

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The security of the Internet of Things (IoT) is a very important aspect of everyday life for people and industries, as well as hospitals, military, households and cities. Unfortunately, this topic is still too little researched and developed, which results in exposing users of Internet of Things to possible threats. One of the areas which should be addressed is the creation of a database of information about vulnerabilities and exploits in the Internet of Things; therefore, the goal of our activities under the VARIoT (Vulnerability and Attack Repository for IoT) project is to develop such a database and make it publicly available. The article presents the results of our research aimed at building this database, i.e., how the information about vulnerabilities is obtained, standardized, aggregated and correlated as well as the way of enhancing and selecting IoT related data. We have obtained and proved that existing databases provide various scopes of information and because of that a single and most comprehensive source of information does not exist. In addition, various sources present information about a vulnerability at different times—some of them are faster than others, and the differences in publication dates are significant. The results of our research show that aggregation of information from various sources can be very beneficial and has potential to enhance actionable value of information. We have also shown that introducing more sophisticated concepts, such as trust management and metainformation extraction based on artificial intelligence, could ensure a higher level of completeness of information as well as evaluate the usefulness and reliability of data.

TOY DESIGN: IMPROVING LEARNING EFFECTIVENESS FOR ADHD STUDENTS

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

With the rapid development of medical knowledge, more young generations are confirmed to suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, abbreviated as ADHD.Inattentive, hyperactive and impulsivity symptoms are three categories that are signs of ADHD.Fidgeting, interrupting, losing homework, daydreaming are all common signs of ADHD.It affects student learning performance and classroom order.The most effective ADHD treatment is a combination of medication and behavioural therapy.However, there are many side effects of ADHD medication use.Thus, fidget toys, therapeutic devices, and other solutions that make use unconscious repetitive actions to increase their concentration.In this solution, feedback is considered as a helpful tool to let ADHD students concentrate on class and improve their learning effectiveness.Nevertheless, in some cases, other students are attracted to the attention by fidget toys and lose focus on class.Therefore, students are forbidden to bring fidget toys back to school.How to take a good balance between regulations of school and student needs was the problem that we were concerned about.This study aims to help ADHD students to reduce their concentration disorders and anxiety problems and use them with school at the same time.Finally, there was testing to let ADHD patients try the model in reality to evaluate the performance.The experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
[Prostaglandins and cancer of the breast (author's transl)].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To investigate the basic characteristics of PG synthesis by human breast tumors, we have examined the relationship that could exist between the PG production and the morphological, cellular and biochemical characteristics which actually constitute the criteria of diagnosis and prognosis of human breast cancer. The results that are discussed here show that raised PG production would seem to be a marker for neoplastic cells that are capable of leading to metastatic growths in the lymph nodes. The raised production of PG can be a marker of a cell population that has the capacity to be autonomous and which possesses a high potential for metastasis.
Design of a Low-Profile Broadband Archimedean Spiral Antenna

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, a new design of low profile and ultra- wideband planar Archimedean spiral antenna for airbone application is presented. In order to meet the requirement of low profile of Archimedean spiral antenna in practical application, the spiral antenna is printed on the both side of dielectric substrate symmetrically. This topology eventually reduces the input impedance of antenna by about 50%, and enables the 50Ω coaxial cable direct connect with spiral antenna with low return loss without a microstrip balun. Besides, a Loaded Electromagnetic Band Gap (LEBG) substrates are used as reflector of Archimedean spiral antenna to realize the unidirectional beam. The performance of this antenna has been validated by measurement.
Efficacy and safety of weekly paclitaxel in elderly patients with heavily pretreated platinum-resistant ovarian carcinoma.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

e17552 Background: In platinum-resistant ovarian cancer treatment, single-agent paclitaxel can be used alone or in combination with bevacizumab. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety profile of a weekly paclitaxel (WP) scheme in heavily pretreated platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 30 adult patients with platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma treated with WP at our institution between 2015 and 2020. Patients with platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube or primary carcinoma of the peritoneum who had received at least 3 doses of WP (80 mg/m 2 ) alone or in combination with bevacizumab until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity were included in the analysis. Progression-free survival was assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Information about toxicity was gathered from medical reports and lab tests. Kaplan-Meier curves and Log-rank test were performed for survival estimates. Results: In our sample, the median age was 68 years (IQR: 60-75) and the median number of previous lines of systemic treatment was 3 (range 1-5). 40% of patients received WP in combination with bevacizumab. The disease control rate was 60.7% (42.9% partial response and 17.8% stable disease). In the overall analysis, the median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 5.0 months (95% CI: 2.0-7.1 months). The presence of ascites significantly shortened the mPFS compared to patients without it (1.1 vs 5.1 months, p < 0.001). Even though the addition of bevacizumab to WP improved the mPFS, the difference was not statistically significant compared to WP alone (7.1 vs 4.06 months, p=0.30). Peripheral neuropathy was the most common adverse event (78% all grades, 18% grade 3). No grade 3 hematologic toxicity was registered. Treatment was discontinued in 6 patients (20%) – 4 due to peripheral neuropathy and two because of toxicoderma. Conclusions: In our sample, WP was an active and safe regimen in heavily pretreated platinum-resistant ovarian carcinoma. WP was well tolerated in elderly patients. The presence of ascites was associated to a shorter PFS in patients treated with WP compared to ascites-free patients.
Selection of elite Bradyrhizobium strains by biometric techniques for inoculation in cowpea

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Plant breeding programs seek to obtain genotypes with high yield, yield stability, and wide adaptability to environments. Selection of strains (genotypes) for adoption as crop inoculants has a similar aim. However, in both cases, the genotype × environment interaction hinders selection of materials adapted to the most diverse edaphic and climatic conditions. Nevertheless, with adequate biometric techniques, the variation in the response of each strain in the environments can be analyzed, allowing selection of those with the type of response and standard desired. In the present pioneering field study, the Toler and additive main effects and multiplicative interaction analysis models and the Annicchiarico method were used in a complementary manner with strains of nitrogen‐fixing bacteria that are symbionts with cowpea to determine their adaptabilities and phenotypic stabilities. The adaptability and phenotypic stabilities of strains INPA 03‐11B and UFLA 03‐164 were confirmed by these techniques. These strains have the most stable behavior regardless of the environment. The reliability of adopting these strains exceeded 85%. The good response of strain UFLA03‐164, still in the selection phase, is surprising, with results equivalent to application of mineral N, allowing it to be included among the strains approved as inoculants for cowpea.
Use of intrathecal baclofen in a pediatric cerebral palsy patient with refractory hemiplegia to maintain orthopaedic surgery gains

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Spasticity, a common symptom accompanying cerebral palsy (CP), can severely affect patients' function and cause disability in childhood. Intrathecal baclofen (ITB) therapy is a widely used treatment to reduce spasticity in quadriparetic CP patients. Likewise, adults sustaining strokes and subsequent spastic hemiplegic have proven excellent candidates as well from ITB therapy. However, data on ITB treatment in pediatric patients with hemiplegic CP are lacking. This is the first report to present such a case. A nine-year old girl with spastic hemiplegic CP failed chemical denervation and serial casting of lower extremity spasticity and an associated equinovarus contracture. An ITB bolus test revealed an improvement in her Ashworth score from a mean of 2.8 to 1.2 on the involved side, whereas the unaffected side stayed constant from a mean of 1.3 to 1.2. The patient was subsequently treated with continuous ITB with improvement of Ashworth scores from a mean of 2.8 at baseline to 1.1 at 17 months after implantation of the ITB pump. Subsequent surgery was performed to correct the residual ankle deformity resulting in improvements in passive range of motion, gait function and brace tolerance. Hemiplegic CP pediatric patients can be successfully treated with ITB to reduce spasticity, improve function, and retain postoperative surgical correction without affecting the normal side.
THE IMPACT OF BREXIT ON LABOUR MIGRATION AND LABOUR MARKETS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE EU

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Nowadays, migration to the United Kingdom remains to be one of the most debatable issues as far as the Brexit is concerned. Many speculations have been made regarding the impact of Brexit and its effect on the social and economic status of the UK. Even though the issue has been deeply explored and analyzed, the implications of the nation’s withdrawal from the European Union still remains to be uncertain. The only sure thing is that such a drastic move will have profound repercussions as far as movement and settlement on the UK is concerned. Our paper seeks to examine the impact of Brexit on migration in the United Kingdom using the example of Polish migrants. We examine the recent trends and development and elaborate on the future of EU migrants in the UK and UK citizens residing in the EU (which might be about 3 million people on both sides of the spectrum). Moreover, we discuss possible scenarios of UK migration policies after the country will eventually leave the EU in a few years, and assess the impact of immigration to the UK on the British and European economies.
Studies on teratological testing using chicken embryos--effects of solvents, injection sites and the age of the embryo.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of solvents, injection sites and embryo age when using chicken embryos for teratological testing. The results obtained were as follows: 1) Solvents: distilled water, physiological saline, sesame oil, 25% ethanol, 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1% methylcellulose solution were not toxic in Day-4 embryos (eggs incubated for 4 days). 2) With 6-aminonicotinamide, air space injection more effectively induced malformations in chicken embryos. With boric acid, however, yolk sac injection was better. It was shown therefore that the appropriate injection site varied according to the test drug. 3) 6-aminonicotinamide induced characteristic malformations when injected into embryos of various ages ranging from 4 to 13 days of incubation. On the other hand, boric acid was teratogenetic only when injected into Day-3 or Day-4 embryos. It seems, therefore, that the age of the embryo at the time of administration is of critical importance and that the optimum time of administration varies according to the test drug.

A new topology of hybrid synchronous machine

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Permanent-magnet synchronous machines are able to operate over a wide range of speeds at constant power through the use of control laws allowing for flux weakening. Generally, this is performed by applying a strong demagnetizing current in the d axis, yet such an approach involves the risk of irreversible magnet demagnetization and, consequently, a reduction in machine performance. This paper presents a novel structure for a hybrid synchronous machine. The authors' solution provides good flux weakening without introducing the risk of magnet demagnetization. In order to explain the structure's operating principle, they apply a model with a single elementary design; electromotive force measurements are then presented to demonstrate the possibilities of flux weakening, along with a series of simulations to show the contribution of hybrid excitation.
Pancreatic Pericytes Support β-Cell Function in a Tcf7l2-Dependent Manner

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

Polymorphism in TCF7L2, a component of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, has a strong association with β-cell dysfunction and type 2 diabetes through a mechanism that has yet to be defined. β-Cells rely on cells in their microenvironment, including pericytes, for their proper function. Here, we show that Tcf7l2 activity in pancreatic pericytes is required for β-cell function. Transgenic mice in which Tcf7l2 was selectively inactivated in their pancreatic pericytes exhibited impaired glucose tolerance due to compromised β-cell function and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Inactivation of pericytic Tcf7l2 was associated with impaired expression of genes required for β-cell function and maturity in isolated islets. In addition, we identified Tcf7l2-dependent pericytic expression of secreted factors shown to promote β-cell function, including bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4). Finally, we show that exogenous BMP4 is sufficient to rescue the impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion of transgenic mice, pointing to a potential mechanism through which pericytic Tcf7l2 activity affects β-cells. To conclude, we suggest that pancreatic pericytes produce secreted factors, including BMP4, in a Tcf7l2-dependent manner to support β-cell function. Our findings thus propose a potential cellular mechanism through which abnormal TCF7L2 activity predisposes individuals to diabetes and implicates abnormalities in the islet microenvironment in this disease.
Models of Financing and Available Financial Resources for Transport Infrastructure Projects

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

A typical feature of transport infrastructure projects is that they are expensive and take a long time to construct. Transport infrastructure financing has traditionally lain in the public domain. A tightening of many countries' budgets in recent times has led to an exploration of alternative resources for financing transport infrastructures. A variety of models and methods can be used in transport infrastructure project financing. The selection of the appropriate model should be done taking into account not only financial resources but also the distribution of construction and operating risks and the contractual relations between the stakeholders.
Emerging technologies adoption in healthcare: A SOHI model

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The internet and emerging technologies have increased the utilisation of digital platforms. This study aims to draw on performance expectancy, social influence, and satisfaction to investigate a proposed model which is geared toward social media healthcare information (SOHI) adoption. The proposed model uses a structured online questionnaire, and 300 responses were evaluated using partial least squares and structural equation modelling [PLS-SEM]. From the findings, performance expectancy of social media (PESM) and satisfaction with social media (SATSM) were revealed to be significant predictors of behavioural intention towards social media (BISM). Satisfaction with social media (SATSM) had the greatest impact on BISM, accounting for 64.7 per cent of the variance in users' intentions to utilise SOHI. Similarly, PESM and social influence on social media (SISM) had the most predictive influence on SATSM, accounting for 50.5 per cent of the variance in users' social media satisfaction, which led to SOHI adoption. Unlike others, the social influence on social media (SISM) did not have a significant effect on BISM. BISM and satisfaction with social media (SATSM) were significant predictors of SOHI adoption, accounting for 54.5 per cent of the variance in SOHI adoption. The recommendations in this study would help healthcare professionals change their approach to digital healthcare engagement.
