Association of Co-Living and Age on the Type of Sports Practiced by Older People

Introdution: The environment and the type of co-living of older people are crucial to understanding how the nature of their context influences a healthy lifestyle. However, no studies have investigated to what extent their type of co-living may be associated with the sports and the profile practice according to their age. Objective: This study aimed to assess the association between the types of co-living and the age of the physically active elderly and the sports they practice. Hypothesis: It is thought that the age, situation, and satisfaction with the way of living in physically active older people differ according to the type of sport they practice. Methods: Cross-sectional study. We included 358 individuals aged between 61 and 93 years old (M = 69.66, SD = 4.74). Type of co-living was classified as living alone or living with others. The sports activities evaluated were: gym, dance, water activities, and yoga/pilates. Differences in the type of co-living and sports practiced were evaluated by ANOVA or Chi2. Results: Among the elderly who practice gymnastics, most of them live alone and in a tight core (p < 0.001) (Phi = 0.244). Furthermore, those who practice aquatic activities are more frequently the youngest (p < 0.001) (Phi = 0.198). Conclusion: Older people who do gymnastics have smaller living groups, those under 69 opt for gymnastics and aquatic activities, while those aged 70 and over prefer dance, yoga, and pilates.
Energy Balanced Double Oscillator Model for Vortex-Induced Vibrations

Vortex-induced oscillations may play an important role in the design of slender structures and piping systems exposed to fluid flow. An improved theoretical basis is developed for representation of vortex-induced oscillations of structural elements by models consisting of two coupled oscillators. The mutual forcing terms are based on exact transfer of energy from the fluid to the structural oscillator. This leads to a system with distinct frequency locking and resonance when fluid and structural natural frequencies are similar. This work implements a simple quadratic fluid damping, but more general fluid damping can be introduced without changing the basic features of the model. The response curve for stationary oscillations consists of two distinct branches, separated by jumps in frequency, amplitude, and phase closely resembling experimentally observed free vortex-induced vibrations. A stability analysis shows that the final part of each branch is unstable, and a transient analysis illustrates the transition between the two modes of oscillation for slowly increasing or decreasing fluid velocity through the lock-in region. Model calibration is discussed and parameters are identified representing available experimental data for lock-in frequencies and resonance amplitudes for systems with relative structural damping in the interval 0.0015-0.003 and different values of the mass ratio.
Photobioreactor Limnospira indica Growth Model: Application From the MELiSSA Plant Pilot Scale to ISS Flight Experiment

Bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) are the foundation stone to self-sustainable manned space missions. The MELiSSA is a BLSS concept that has evolved through a mechanistic engineering approach designed to acquire both theoretical and technical knowledge on each subsystem independently and, therefore, produces the necessary knowledge and experience needed to co-integrate all the subsystems together with a high level of control. One of the subsystems is a photobioreactor colonized by an axenic culture of the cyanobacterium Limnospira indica PCC8005 for revitalizing the air for the crew. This subsystem was extensively studied, and a mass balanced mechanistic model was developed to describe, predict, and control the photobioreactor. The model was based on a light transfer limitation model coupled to a kinetic model for the cyanobacteria growth through a Linear Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes (LTIP) approach, including substrate limitation. The model was integrated into several hydrodynamic models adapted to several photobioreactors design and experiments, from a 100 L airlift pilot scale ground photobioreactor to a 50 ml membrane photobioreactor for ISS flight. Through this article we detail the principles of this mechanistic model and their application to different photobioreactor scales for predictive and descriptive simulations.

[MII(H2dapsc)]-[Cr(CN)6] (M = Mn, Co) Chain and Trimer Complexes: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Non-Covalent Interactions and Magnetic Properties

Four new heterometallic complexes combining [MII(H2dapsc)]2+ cations with the chelating H2dapsc {2,6-diacetylpyridine-bis(semicarbazone)} Schiff base ligand and [Cr(CN)6]3− anion were synthesized: {[MII(H2dapsc)]CrIII(CN)6K(H2O)2.5(EtOH)0.5}n·1.2n(H2O), M = Mn (1) and Co (2), {[Mn(H2dapsc)]2Cr(CN)6(H2O)2}Cl·H2O (3) and {[Co(H2dapsc)]2Cr(CN)6(H2O)2}Cl·2EtOH·3H2O (4). In all the compounds, M(II) centers are seven-coordinated by N3O2 atoms of H2dapsc in the equatorial plane and N or O atoms of two apical –CN/water ligands. Crystals 1 and 2 are isostructural and contain infinite negatively charged chains of alternating [MII(H2dapsc)]2+ and [CrIII(CN)6]3− units linked by CN-bridges. Compounds 3 and 4 consist of centrosymmetric positively charged trimers in which two [MII(H2dapsc)]2+ cations are bound through one [CrIII(CN)6]3− anion. All structures are regulated by π-stacking of coplanar H2dapsc moieties as well as by an extensive net of hydrogen bonding. Adjacent chains in 1 and 2 interact also by coordination bonds via a pair of K+ ions. The compounds containing MnII (1, 3) and CoII (2, 4) show a significant difference in magnetic properties. The ac magnetic measurements revealed that complexes 1 and 3 behave as a spin glass and a field-induced single-molecule magnet, respectively, while 2 and 4 do not exhibit slow magnetic relaxation in zero and non-zero dc fields. The relationship between magnetic properties and non-covalent interactions in the structures 1–4 was traced.
Bistatic Scattering from Three-Dimensional Conducting Rough Surface with UV Multilevel Partitioning Method

Vector wave three-dimensional (3-D) conducting rough surface scattering problem solved by a UV method with multilevel partitioning (UV-MLP) is developed in this paper. For a 3-D conducting rough surface scattering problem, the scattering structure is partitioned into multilevel block. By looking up the rank in the static problem, the impedance matrix for a given transmitting and receiving block is expressed into a product of U and V matrix. The UV method is illustrated by applying to a 3D scattering problem of random conducting rough surface in this paper. Numerical simulation results are illustrated.

Characterization of an inductively coupled nitrogen-argon plasma by Langmuir probe combined with optical emission spectroscopy

The properties of low-pressure inductively coupled nitrogen-argon plasmas were investigated by using a Langmuir probe combined with optical emission spectroscopy (OES) under the conditions of pressures in the range of 1–30 mTorr and applied rf powers of 200–600 W. In the experiments, the argon was introduced as an actinometer and as an adding gas. The effect of the argon content in the gas mixture was examined in the range of 5%–80%. The electron energy probability function (EEPF), the electron density, and the electron temperature were obtained by using an rf-compensated Langmuir probe. The dissociation fractions were obtained from the OES actinometry. The electron temperature was also obtained by OES corona model and compared with that measured by the probe. The second positive and first negative systems of spectral bands from nitrogen molecules were analyzed to estimate the vibrational and rotational temperatures. The effects of the control parameters on the plasma parameters and dissociation fraction .
Natural Coatings and Surface Modifications on Magnesium Alloys for Biomedical Applications

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have great potential in biomedical applications due to their incomparable properties regarding other metals, such as stainless steels, Co–Cr alloys, and titanium (Ti) alloys. However, when Mg engages with body fluids, its degradation rate increases, inhibiting the complete healing of bone tissue. For this reason, it has been necessary to implement protective coatings to control the rate of degradation. This review focuses on natural biopolymer coatings used on Mg alloys for resorbable biomedical applications, as well as some modification techniques implemented before applying natural polymer coatings to improve their performance. Issues such as improving the corrosion resistance, cell adhesion, proliferation, and biodegradability of natural biopolymers are discussed through their basic comparison with inorganic-type coatings. Emphasis is placed on the expected biological behavior of each natural polymer described, to provide basic information as a reference on this topic.
Impacts of Rumen Degradable or Undegradable Protein Supplementation on Supplement Intake and Performance of Yearling Heifers and Cows Grazing Dryland Pastures

Simple Summary This study was conducted to evaluate intake and performance of beef cattle provided different protein supplements on pasture. Protein sources were rumen degradable protein (RDP) and rumen undegradable protein (RUP) supplied as pressed blocks provided in two time periods. Protein supplement was provided before and during the breeding season. Intake, intake behavior, and weight gain were compared between cattle offered either protein type. Typically, due to the RDP available during the summer grazing season, supplementation is not conducted. However, due to the RDP content of forages, RUP may be beneficial for grazing animals to provide a more direct protein source for the animal. Therefore, this study analyzed how effectively RUP or RDP supplementation was for grazing animals and found that protein type did impact intake behavior of both heifers and cows. Abstract Angus and Red Angus-based yearling heifers (n = 40) and lactating cows (n = 51) were each used in a complete randomized design and stratified by weight and body condition score to one of two treatments: (1) pressed supplement block containing rumen undegradable protein (RUP) and (2) pressed supplement block containing rumen degradable protein (RDP). Heifer and cow supplement intake displayed (p < 0.01) a treatment × period interaction. The RUP heifers and RDP cows consumed more in Period 2 than Period 1, whereas RDP heifers and RUP cows consumed more in Period 1 than Period 2, respectively. Intake rate demonstrated (p < 0.01) a treatment effect for heifers, with RUP consuming supplement faster than the RDP treatment. Intake rate for cows demonstrated (p < 0.01) a treatment × period interaction with RUP cows in Period 1 having faster intakes than Period 2, and RDP cows having the inverse. Cow intake variation displayed (p < 0.01) a treatment × period interaction with RUP cows having more variation in Period 2, while RDP cows had less variation in intake in Period 2. In conclusion, RDP and RUP impacted intake behavior of cows and heifers but had minimal impacts on performance.
On the equivalence of Écart and voisinage

1. Frechet has suggested that being given a class (V) for which a "voisinage " is defined it should be possible to give a definition of " 6cart" in this class such that the convergent sequences and their limits remain the same whether limit is defined in terms of voisinage or in terms of the corresponding ecart.t He also observes that a result of Hahn:t there exists on every class (V) at least one continuous non-constant function, might lead to a proof of equivalence between ecart and voisinage. It is the purpose of this paper to supply a proof of the correctness of these suppositions. 2. For each pair A, B of elements of a class (V) there exists a number [A, B], the voisinage of A and B, which is non-negative, symmetric in A and B, and satisfies the following conditions: (a) [A, B] = O, if and only if A = B; (b) There exists a positive function f ( e) such that
Deetect: A Deep Learning-Based Image Analysis Tool for Quantification of Adherent Cell Populations on Oxygenator Membranes after Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Therapy

The strong interaction of blood with the foreign surface of membrane oxygenators during ECMO therapy leads to adhesion of immune cells on the oxygenator membranes, which can be visualized in the form of image sequences using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The segmentation and quantification of these image sequences is a demanding task, but it is essential to understanding the significance of adhering cells during extracorporeal circulation. The aim of this work was to develop and test a deep learning-supported image processing tool (Deetect), suitable for the analysis of confocal image sequences of cell deposits on oxygenator membranes at certain predilection sites. Deetect was tested using confocal image sequences of stained (DAPI) blood cells that adhered to specific predilection sites (junctional warps and hollow fibers) of a phosphorylcholine-coated polymethylpentene membrane oxygenator after patient support (>24 h). Deetect comprises various functions to overcome difficulties that occur during quantification (segmentation, elimination of artifacts). To evaluate Deetects performance, images were counted and segmented manually as a reference and compared with the analysis by a traditional segmentation approach in Fiji and the newly developed tool. Deetect outperformed conventional segmentation in clustered areas. In sections where cell boundaries were difficult to distinguish visually, previously defined post-processing steps of Deetect were applied, resulting in a more objective approach for the resolution of these areas.
Effectiveness of Extrafine Single Inhaler Triple Therapy in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in Germany – The TriOptimize Study

Purpose Real-word evidence on the effectiveness of switching from dual therapies or triple therapies (multiple inhalers) to extrafine single-inhaler triple therapy (efSITT), which consists of the inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) beclomethasone, the long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) formoterol and the long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) glycopyrronium, in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is limited. The impact of switching to efSITT on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), COPD specific symptoms, lung function and treatment adherence were assessed in routine clinical care. Patients and Methods Patients were recruited at 148 sites in Germany between 2017 and 2020 in this multicenter, non-interventional observational study. Demographics, clinical data and treatment history were collected at baseline. HRQoL (measured by COPD Assessment Test [CAT]), lung function and adherence (measured by Test of Adherence to Inhalers [TAI]) were assessed at baseline and after six months. Descriptive analyses were conducted by prior treatment and GOLD groups as well as for the overall population. Results 55.1% of the 2623 included patients were male. Mean age was 65.8 years. 57.5% of the patients were previously treated with ICS+LABA+LAMA (multiple inhalers), 23.9% with ICS/LABA (single or two inhalers) and 18.6% with LAMA/LABA (single or two inhalers). After six months, largest mean improvements in the total CAT score were observed in the ICS/LABA (−3.9) and LAMA/LABA (−3.9) prior treatment groups as well as in patients in GOLD group B (−2.9). In the overall population, the CAT items for cough, phlegm, and dyspnea decreased on average by −0.4 points each. After six months, FEV1 increased by 2.0 percentage points in relation to predicted values. The percentages of measured sRtot and RV of predicted values decreased by 24.5 and 4.4 percentage points, respectively. The percentage of patients with good adherence increased from 67.8% to 76.5%. Conclusion Treatment switch to efSITT resulted in an improvement of HRQoL, COPD specific symptoms, lung function parameters and adherence under real-world conditions.
CV‐ANOVA for significance testing of PLS and OPLS® models

This report describes significance testing for PLS and OPLS® (orthogonal PLS) models. The testing is applicable to single‐Y cases and is based on ANOVA of the cross‐validated residuals (CV‐ANOVA). Two variants of the CV‐ANOVA are introduced. The first is based on the cross‐validated predictive residuals of the PLS or OPLS model while the second works with the cross‐validated predictive score values of the OPLS model. The two CV‐ANOVA diagnostics are shown to work well in those cases where PLS and OPLS work well, that is, for data with many and correlated variables, missing data, etc. The utility of the CV‐ANOVA diagnostic is demonstrated using three datasets related to (i) the monitoring of an industrial de‐inking process; (ii) a pharmaceutical QSAR problem and (iii) a multivariate calibration application from a sugar refinery.

Impact of the Area of Residence of Ovarian Cancer Patients on Overall Survival

Simple Summary The disparities in ovarian cancer care and outcomes have been linked to socioeconomic indicators. Our study mainly demonstrated that women living in economically and socially deprived areas had a significantly higher risk of death after adjustment for individual factors. Our results reflect the complexity of the environment in which the patients live and the impact on overall survival of the combination of negative social, economic and educational factors within that environment. Abstract Survival disparities persist in ovarian cancer and may be linked to the environments in which patients live. The main objective of this study was to analyze the global impact of the area of residence of ovarian cancer patients on overall survival. The data were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. We included all the patients with epithelial ovarian cancers diagnosed between 2010 and 2016. The areas of residence were analyzed by the hierarchical clustering of the principal components to group similar counties. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was then fitted to evaluate the independent effect of each predictor on overall survival. We included a total of 16,806 patients. The clustering algorithm assigned the 607 counties to four clusters, with cluster 1 being the most disadvantaged and cluster 4 having the highest socioeconomic status and best access to care. The area of residence cluster remained a statistically significant independent predictor of overall survival in the multivariable analysis. The patients living in cluster 1 had a risk of death more than 25% higher than that of the patients living in cluster 4. This study highlights the importance of considering the sociodemographic factors within the patient’s area of residence when developing a care plan and follow-up.
The The Effects of Hedonic and Utilitarian Values on Consumer Intention to Return to Ethnic Restaurants

Ethnic restaurants play a crucial role in introducing non-ethnic clients to ethnic foods. Understanding the physical and psychological aspects that influence customer satisfaction and revisiting intention would benefit restaurateurs and contribute to the promotion of a nation's culinary history. This study examines the relationship between dining atmospherics, hedonic and utilitarian values on customer satisfaction and revisits intention in the ethnic fine dining restaurant context. 215 respondents were surveyed at 15 ethnic fine-dining establishments in Kuala Lumpur. The analysis found that restaurant ambiance and hedonic values are substantial predictors of customer satisfaction and propensity to return. Surprisingly, this is not true of utilitarian values. This paper presents implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research.
Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Cannabinoids from Cannabis Sativa for Medicinal Purpose

Over the past 20 years, the interest in Cannabis oily extracts for medicinal use compounded in pharmacy has consistently grown, along with the need to have preparations of adequate quality. Hot maceration (M) is the most frequently used method to compound oily solutions. In this work, we systematically studied the possibility of using an ultrasonic homogenizer and a sonotrode (US) as an alternative extraction method. Oily solutions were prepared using two available varieties of Cannabis for medicinal use, called FM2 and Bedrocan. All preparations resulted with an equivalent content in CBD and THC, with the advantage of a faster process using US. In particular, 10 min sonication at the amplitude optimized for the sonotrode used (2 or 7 mm) provides not statistically different total Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (M-FM2: 0.26 ± 0.02 % w/w; US-FM2: 0.19 ± 0.004 % w/w; M-Bedrocan: 1.83 ± 0.17 % w/w; US-Bedrocan: 1.98 ± 0.01 % w/w) and total cannabidiol (M-FM2: 0.59 ± 0.04 % w/w; US-FM2: 0.58 ± 0.01 % w/w) amounts extracted in refined olive oil. It can therefore be confirmed that sonotrode is an efficient and fast extraction technique and its use is without negative consequence on the solvent properties. Despite DSC evidencing that both maceration and sonication modify the Tonset and enthalpy of the event at about −10 °C, the qualitative characteristics of the oil remained constant for the two treatments and similar to the starting material.
Analysis of Preeclampsia in Pregnant Women Reviewing from Vascular Disorders due to Endothelial Dysfunction

Preeclampsia is a multisythemic disorder in pregnancy. Some theories reveal that PE is a result of imuune and hormonal response disorders during pregnancy. In the preeclampsia there is a endothelial dysfunction in the controlling vascular function to respond to blood composition and function disorder as a physical barrier to the exchange of fluid, ion proteins and cells from the blood through the vasculer wall. In addition, there is a decrease in angiogenesis and vasodilatation of blood vessels in response to oxygen pressure and mechanical stress like shear stress. Analyzing the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women in terms of vascular disorders doe to endothelial dysfunction. Design : observational, a cross sectional approach. Probability sampling using random sampling. Statistical analysis logistic regression. Data processing Hosmer and Lemeshow Test. Assumption of the amount of influence a summary model. PE incidence of pregnant woman 94 (6.15%), 53 people (56.4%) PE, 41 (43.6%) PEB.
