Beneficial effects of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic with regard to the uptake of influenza virus, pneumococcal, and herpes zoster adult vaccination - a narrative literature review.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Analysis of factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination coverage in various countries raised the question whether the recent pandemic affected the vaccination rates of other pathogens in adults. Therefore, the aim of this review article was to analyse the literature to find potentially beneficial effects of the introduction of the large-scale vaccinations resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, with regard to the influenza virus, pneumococcal and herpes zoster adult vaccinations, in order to identify factors and strategies to increase the uptake of these vaccines. REVIEW METHODS The review of the literature was based on scientific articles indexed in the PubMed Database published between 2022-2023, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data search was performed from 24-30 July 2023. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE OF KNOWLEDGE It was found that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a beneficial effect on the acceptance and coverage of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination in the vulnerable elderly populations, and among healthcare workers in the case of influenza. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak affected the designs of vaccine clinical trials, resulting in a lower frequency of age-related exclusion criteria, broadening the group of vaccine recipients. SUMMARY Acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination increased willingness to accept other vaccines. The attitude to vaccination is a personal decision-making process based on previous experience and interpersonal interactions, greatly affected by information and recommendation from medical professionals. The COVID-19 pandemic vaccination implementation opened new opportunities to develop prevention efforts and build vaccination strategies in middle-income countries.
Applications of Satellite Geodesy in Environmental and Climate Change

Satellite geodesy plays an important role in earth observation. This dissertation presents three applications of satellite geodesy in environmental and climate change. Three satellite geodesy techniques are used: high-precision Global Positioning System (GPS), the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). In the first study, I use coastal uplift observed by GPS to study the annual changes in mass loss of the Greenland ice sheet. The data show both spatial and temporal variations of coastal ice mass loss and suggest that a combination of warm atmospheric and oceanic condition drove these variations. In the second study, I use GRACE monthly gravity change estimates to constrain recent freshwater flux from Greenland. The data show that Arctic freshwater flux started to increase rapidly in the mid-late 1990s, coincident with a decrease in the formation of dense Labrador Sea Water, a key component of the deep southward return flow of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Recent freshening of the polar oceans may be reducing formation of Labrador Sea Water and hence may be weakening the AMOC. In the third study, I use InSAR to monitor ground deformation caused by CO2 injection at an enhanced oil recovery site in west Texas. Carbon capture and storage can reduce CO2 emitted from power plants, and is a promising way to mitigate anthropogenic warming. From 2007 to 2011, ∼24 million tons of CO2 were sequestered in this field, causing up to 10 MPa pressure buildup in a reservoir at depth, and surface uplift up to 10 cm. This study suggests that surface displacement observed by InSAR is a cost-effective way to estimate reservoir pressure change and monitor the fate of injected fluids at waste disposal and CO2 injection sites.
Transforming Growth Factor- bb signalling in extraembryonic mesoderm is required for yolk sac vasculogenesis in mice

bb signalling in the extraembryonic mesoderm alone is sufficient to account for the extraembryonic phenotype reported previously in TGF- bb 1 -- / -- mice (Dickson, M. C., Martin, J. S., Cousins, F. M., Kulkarni, A. B., Karlsson, S. and Akhurst, R. J. (1995) Development 121 , 1845-1854). 1 1 1 m g/ml and 1 m g/ml leupeptin at 4°C. were centrifuged for 15 minutes at 4°C and the protein concentration of the supernatant was determined by the BioRad protein assay. Extracts (40 m g of total protein) was separated on SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to Immobilon (Millipore, MA). Blots were blocked in TBST (10 mM Tris (pH 8), 150 mM NaCl, and 0.05% Tween-20) containing 3% non- fat milk powder for 1 hour. Blots were probed with a polyclonal antibody against laminin (Sigma, MO), or ﬁbronectin (Sigma, MO), in TBST containing 0.5% non-fat milk powder. All subsequent steps were carried out with TBST. After vigorous washing, blots were incubated with peroxidase-conjugated antibodies (1:10,000; Amersham). Blots were again and immunoreactive bands visualised
Impact of Related Diversification Strategies on Organizational Performance among Star Rated Hotels in the Kenyan Coast

Purpose: For any organization to succeed in the present competitive and ever-changing business environment, understanding the risks, opportunities, and strength posed by the external environment is inevitable. Organizations must exploit opportunities and avoid risks by applying relevant strategies and developing various strategic approaches that will improve their competitive edge and overall performance. One of the possible ways to improve business efficiency and performance is through diversification. The purpose of this study was to assess the applicability of a diversification strategy as a game plan to motivate and develop resilience against organizational and environmental forces in business operations to improve organizational performance in star rated hotels in the Coastal Kenya. The specific objectives was; to determine the impact of related diversification strategies on organizational performance among star rated hotels in coastal Kenya Coastal. Materials and Methods: Notably, 36 star rated hotels were selected while 419 respondents were involved which comprised; strategic managers, tactical and operational managers. This represented a response rate of 92.4% and 80.6% for the questionnaires and interviews respectively. Stratified sampling was used to select the hotels while purposive sampling was used to select the managers. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used during data collection. Data analyze was both analyzed using both descriptive and inferential analysis. The mean for overall adoption of horizontal diversification strategies was 3.94 (std. dev=0.92) while vertical diversification strategies was 3.28 (std. dev=1.13) which was significant. The mean on overall adoption of related diversification strategies was 3.60 (std. dev=0.95), demonstrating that related diversification strategies have on overall been adopted to a large extent. Findings: The model summary results indicates that R-Square=0.598; this implies that 59.8% of performance is explained by vertical and horizontal diversification strategies. This implies that, both horizontal and vertical diversification strategies were significantly adopted in the operation and management of hotel business in the coast region of Kenya. The null hypothesis stating, “There is no significant relationship between vertical diversification strategies and performance of star rated hotels along the Kenyan Coast” was rejected. This means that horizontal and vertical diversification strategies are significant predictors of performance of star rated hotels in the Kenyan Coast. From the regression model, horizontal and vertical diversification were found to have a positive effect that was statistically significant on performance of star rated hotels in the Kenyan Coast. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Policy makers should initiate policies that motivate organizations such as hotels to practice diversification to minimize negative impact on both financial and non-financial performance aspects.
Exploration of coupled-vibration phenomena in multi-disk rotor with blades with multi-cracks

Based on previous research results obtained in the authors’ laboratory, in this article, we develop, refine, and summarize the disk-transverse, blade-bending, and shaft-torsion coupled-vibration phenomena of a multi-disk rotor with blades with multiple cracks. Three methods are used to explore these phenomena, namely, the finite element method, experimental method, and assumed mode method. The assumed mode method is primary, and the others play subsidiary roles. Some beneficial and interesting results are presented in this article. First, the authors used the assumed mode method and finite element method (ANSYS) to explore and compare the change rules of the natural frequencies and mode shapes in a rotor. Second, it is pointed out how multi-cracks affect the coupled-vibration phenomena of a single-/multi-disk(s) system. Numerical calculation results also show that the crack depth, number of crack blades, as well as the symmetry of the crack blades, affect the natural frequencies. Finally, the experimental results are discussed and the advantages and limitations of using each of the three methods are given. While the experimental measurement method advanced herein may have some limitations, the results should guide future research.
The Association of HIV-1 Neutralization in Aviremic Children and Adults with Time to ART Initiation and CD4+/CD8+ Ratios

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) bind and neutralize diverse HIV isolates and demonstrate protective effects in primate models and humans against specific isolates. To develop an effective HIV vaccine, it is widely believed that inducing these antibodies is crucial. However, the high somatic hypermutation in bnAbs and the limited affinity of HIV Env proteins for bnAb germline precursors suggest that extended antigen exposure is necessary for their production. Consequently, HIV vaccine research is exploring complex sequential vaccination strategies to guide the immune response through maturation stages. In this context, the exploration of the factors linked to the generation of these antibodies across diverse age groups becomes critical. In this study, we assessed the anti-HIV-1 neutralization potency and breadth in 108 aviremic adults and 109 aviremic children under 15 years of age who were receiving ART. We used a previously described minipanel of recombinant viruses and investigated the factors associated with neutralization in these individuals. We identified individuals in both groups who were capable of neutralizing viruses from three different subtypes, with greater cross-neutralization observed in the adult group (49.0% vs. 9.2%). In both groups, we observed an inverse association between neutralization breadth and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio, as well as a direct association with the time to ART initiation. However, we found no association with time post-infection, cumulative ART duration, or CD8+ cell levels. The present study demonstrates that children receiving antiretroviral therapy generate broadly neutralizing responses to HIV-1, albeit with lower magnitude compared to adults. We also observed that neutralization breadth is associated with CD4+/CD8+ levels and time to treatment initiation in both children and adults living with HIV-1. Our interpretation of these results is that a delay in ART initiation could have prolonged the antigenic stimulation associated with viral replication and thus facilitate the capacity to elicit long-lasting broadly neutralizing responses. These results corroborate prior findings that show that HIV-1-neutralizing responses can persist for years, even at low antigen levels, implying an HIV-1 vaccine may induce lasting neutralizing antibody response.
Effects of continuous intravenous infusion with propofol on intestinal metabolites in rats

Microbial metabolites play an important role in regulating intestinal homeostasis and immune responses. Propofol is a common anesthetic in clinic, but it is not clear whether it affects intestinal metabolites in rats. Tail vein puncture was performed after adaptive feeding for 1 month in eight 2-month-old rats and they were given continuous intravenous infusion of propofol for 3 h. The feces of rats were divided into different groups based on time periods, with before and after anesthesia with propofol on days 1, 3 and 7 labeled as groups P, A1, A3 and A7, respectively. The effect of continuous intravenous infusion with propofol on rat fecal metabolites was determined using the non-targeted metabolomics technique gas chromatography coupled with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer analysis. The types and contents of metabolites in rat feces were changed after continuous intravenous infusion with propofol, but the changes were not statistically significant. The contents of the metabolites 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid and palmitic acid increased from day 3 to 7, and it was shown that the two metabolites were positively correlated at a statistically significant level. Linoleic acid decreased to its lowest level on day 3, and it returned to pre-anesthesia level on day 7. At the same time, linoleic acid metabolism was a metabolic pathway that was co-enriched 7 days after infusion with propofol. Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was significant correlation between some differential metabolites and differential microorganisms. It was observed that zymosterol 1, cytosin and elaidic acid were negatively correlated with Alloprevotella in the A3 vs. P group. In the A7 vs. P group, cortexolone 3 and coprostan-3-one were positively correlated with Faecalibacterium, whilst aconitic acid was negatively correlated with it. In conclusion, the present study revealed statistically insignificant effects of continuous intravenous propofol on the intestinal metabolites in rats.

Genomic Predictions in Korean Hanwoo Cows: A Comparative Analysis of Genomic BLUP and Bayesian Methods for Reproductive Traits

Simple Summary Historically, Korea has been an agrarian society where cattle played a significant role in Korean culture as working animals. However, in recent decades, there has been an increase in meat demand and the expansion of the Korean economy. This shift has led to the predominant use of native Korean Hanwoo cattle for beef production since the 1960s. Genetic improvement programs for Hanwoo cattle traditionally focused on carcass and growth qualities due to the accessibility of trait information and the simplicity of analysis techniques, rather than reproductive traits. However, there has been a recent surge of interest in genetic analyses of the reproductive traits of Hanwoo cattle because these traits significantly impact calf productivity. To enhance beef production and the overall profitability of Hanwoo farming, it is imperative to implement genomic predictions for age at first calving (AFC), calving interval (CI), gestation length (GL), and number of artificial inseminations per conception (NAIPC) to better understand and improve their response to selection. This study aimed to estimate heritability and the accuracy of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) using genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) and Bayesian methods (BayesB, BayesLASSO, and BayesR) for traits under study. Our analysis revealed relatively lower heritability values for these traits and indicated that the accuracy of genomic prediction across all methods applied was similarly reduced, likely due to the inherent lower heritability of reproductive traits. As a result, the findings of this study provide valuable insights into the genetic breeding programs of the beef cattle industry. Abstract This study aimed to predict the accuracy of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for reproductive traits in Hanwoo cows using the GBLUP, BayesB, BayesLASSO, and BayesR methods. Accuracy estimates of GEBVs for reproductive traits were derived through fivefold cross-validation, analyzing a dataset comprising 11,348 animals and employing an Illumina Bovine 50K SNP chip. GBLUP showed an accuracy of 0.26 for AFC, while BayesB, BayesLASSO, and BayesR demonstrated values of 0.28, 0.29, and 0.29, respectively. For CI, GBLUP attained an accuracy of 0.19, whereas BayesB, BayesLASSO, and BayesR scored 0.21, 0.24, and 0.25, respectively. The accuracy for GL was uniform across GBLUP, BayesB, and BayesR at 0.31, whereas BayesLASSO showed a slightly higher accuracy of 0.33. For NAIPC, GBLUP showed an accuracy of 0.24, while BayesB, BayesLASSO, and BayesR recorded 0.22, 0.27, and 0.30, respectively. The variation in genomic prediction accuracy among methods indicated Bayesian approaches slightly outperformed GBLUP. The findings suggest that Bayesian methods, notably BayesLASSO and BayesR, offer improved predictive capabilities for reproductive traits. Future research may explore more advanced genomic approaches to enhance predictive accuracy and genetic gains in Hanwoo cattle breeding programs.
Cumulative residual effect of crop residues, farm yard manure and fertilizer on succeeding groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) in rice based cropping system.

Field experiments were conducted in the wetland farm of S.V. Agricultural College (Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University), Andhra Pradesh for two consecutive years 2002 – 2003 and 2003 – 2004 to investigate the cumulative residual effect of incorporated crop residues and different nitrogen management practices applied to preceding lowland rice on the performance of succeeding groundnut and results revealed that cumulative residual effect of incorporation of fieldbean crop residues and supply of 100 per cent N through FYM to rice has resulted in superior performance of groundnut crop compared to any other crop residue incorporation and nitrogen management practices adopted to preceding rice crop. However, similar magnitude of performance of groundnut was noticed with the combination of fieldbean crop residue incorporation and supply of 50 per cent nitrogen each through fertilizer and FYM to preceding rice.
MOOD ANALYSIS OF UTTERANCES IN INDONESIA’S COVID-19 VACCINE ARTICLE IN ONLINE NEWSPAPER

This study examines the MOOD analysis of interpersonal meaning in articles in online newspapers about the covid-19 vaccine in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to explain the formula of MOOD analysis realized in grammar and to describe the speakers' mood in the application of the MOOD analysis in Indonesia's covid-19 vaccine article from online newspaper. The main focus of this research is on descriptive text articles and MOOD structure. This type of research is descriptive qualitative, the author uses observation documentation as a technique to obtain and measure data. The data were obtained by applying the theory of Gerot and Wignell (1994). The researcher found 259 clauses from six texts which became data taken from various online news sources. In the formula, there are various types such as Subject + Finite (Tense), Subject + Finite (Do), Subject + Finite (Modal), Subject + Finite (Have) and Subject + Finite (To be). The most commonly found category is the use of Finite (Tense). In the mood of the speaker, it is found that the speaker expresses certainty, possibility, uncertainty, obligation and advice. What most of the speakers said was certainty. In the analysis also found several categories of modalities, which after that can be included in the degree of modality, namely high, medium, and low. Because the limitations of this study are in a declarative, all clauses are statements that function to convey information from the author to the reader.
Impact of Child and Family Factors on Caregivers’ Mental Health and Psychological Distress during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Greece

Although primary caregivers of children with developmental disabilities (DDs) experience higher levels of distress than primary caregivers of typically developing children do, this problem has received limited attention in Greece. Therefore, this study examined mental health and associated factors among primary caregivers of children with and without DDs in Greece during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study included 156 participants. Primary caregivers completed a self-report survey on sociodemographic characteristics, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 items, and the 12-item General Health Questionnaire. Primary caregivers of children with DDs, particularly mothers, reported more mental health problems and higher levels of psychological distress than the control group. Among families parenting a child with disabilities, caregivers’ psychological distress was significantly related to having a child with autism spectrum disorder and the severity of the child’s behavioral difficulties. Significant predictors of caregivers’ distress were the parent being female, the child being male, a single-parent family, a lower income, and higher depressive symptoms. Caregivers raising children with DDs face unique challenges in terms of care, necessitating the development of family-based interventions to improve the social-emotional well-being and overall quality of life for both parents and children.
