From cave geomorphology to Palaeolithic human behaviour: speleogenesis, palaeoenvironmental changes and archaeological insight in the Atxurra‐Armiña cave (northern Iberian Peninsula)

A detailed geomorphological study was performed in the Atxurra‐Armiña cave system (northern Iberian Peninsula) to decode landscape evolution, palaeoenvironmental changes and human use of a cave within an Inner Archaeological Context. The results show an average incision rate of the river of <0.083 mm a–1 for at least the last 419 ka, with interruptions due to sedimentary inputs. Moreover, allostratigraphic units comprising fluviokarstic deposits at the base and flowstone formation at the top have been shown to be climatically controlled, formed either during glacial–interglacial cycles or during interstadial cycles. Finally, when the cave was used by humans in the Late Magdalenian, the lower entrance was closed, and they must therefore have entered the cave through the upper entrance. To reach the sectors selected to decorate the panels, they probably travelled from the upper cave level, as the current crawlway was wider than today, according to our U/Th dating. Once these visitors reached the panels, the floor in the main gallery would have been around 15 cm lower than at present. However, the morphology of the conduit was similar; this has significant implications for understanding and interpreting the human use of the cave during the Palaeolithic.
Importance of quinoa and amaranth in food security

As a result of increasing population in the India and world, food security has become increasingly dependent on only a few crops with high demanding plant species. The quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) and amaranth ( Amaranthus spp. ) are peculiar composition with high nutritional value and rich source of macronutrients and energy. These are called pseudocereals and provide good quality of protein, dietary fiber and lipids rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Amaranth and quinoa are gluten-free grains, having adequate levels of minerals, vitamins, and other bioactive components. Quinoa and amaranth is suitable for diverse consumers groups such as the elderly, children, high-performance athletes, diabetics, celiacs, and gluten or lactose intolerant people. Due to their composition and nutritional facts described for prospective for functional properties such as food supplements or common cereal replacers for human health. A review of the main aspects of amaranth and quinoa as alternative source of nutrient rich gluten free grains which have potential to alleviate hunger and provide food security to the Indian population. It is to be emphasized on the application of the amaranth and quinoa in the value added food for various segments of population; it will also create awareness to the farmers to grow these grains for better earning and livelihood.
Effect of locus of control on innovative behavior among new generation employees: A moderated mediation model

We recruited 211 new generation employees in research and development teams to examine how internal and external locus of control (LOC) are related to innovative behavior, both directly and indirectly, and to examine the moderated mediation roles of innovation climate and work engagement in this relationship. Results show that internal (vs. external) LOC had direct and indirect positive (vs. negative) effects on innovative behavior. Further, work engagement mediated the LOC–innovative behavior relationship, and innovation climate strengthened the internal LOC–innovative behavior relationship. These results shed light on the personality antecedents of innovative behavior and show how individual differences shape work engagement, and how innovation climate influences innovative behavior. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

On the Potential of Silicon Intermediate Band Solar Cells

Intermediate band solar cells (IBSCs) have an efficiency limit of 63.2%, which is significantly higher than the 40.7% limit for conventional single gap solar cells. In order to achieve the maximum efficiency, the total bandgap of the cell should be in the range of ~2 eV. However, that fact does not prevent other cells based on different semiconductor bandgaps from benefiting from the presence of an intermediate band (IB) within their bandgap. Since silicon (1.12 eV bandgap) is the dominant material in solar cell technology, it is of interest to determine the limit efficiency of a silicon IBSC, because even a modest gain in efficiency could trigger a large commercial interest if the IB is implemented at low cost. In this work we study the limit efficiency of silicon-based IBSCs considering operating conditions that include the use of non-ideal photon casting between the optical transitions, different light intensities and Auger recombination. The results lead to the conclusion that a silicon IBSC, operating under the conventional model in which the sub-bandgaps add to the total silicon gap, provides an efficiency gain if operated in the medium-high concentration range. The performance of these devices is affected by Auger recombination only under extremely high concentrations.
SUBCUTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION OF A LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT HEPARIN (CY 222) COMPARED WITH SUBCUTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION OF STANDARD HEPARIN IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS

68 patients (pts) with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) were randomized to either CY 222 (Choay Institut, Cl, France) (n=33) in a dose of 750 u anti-Xa Cl/kg/day or standard heparin (SH) (n=35), 500 ui/kg/day, both given by 2 daily subcutaneous (sc) injections for 10 days. In SH group, dose was monitored by daily activated partial thromboplastin time to maintain a prolongation between 2 to 3 times the control value ; in CY 222 group dose remained unchanged during the 10-day treatment. Venography was repeated at day 10. Initial DVT localization and derived Marder’s score was similar in both groups (14.1 ± 11.7 in CY 222 group and 14.3 ± 10.6 in SH group, p = NS). The results show that : 1/ no bleeding complication was observed in CY 222 pts, but large hematoma occured in 3 SH pts, 1 patient in each group developed a recurrent pulmonary embolism and 2 others pts (1 in each group) did not undergo control phlebography ; 2/ in CY 222 group, 8 pts obtained complete lysis (CL, thrombolysis more than 90%), 11 partial lysis (PL, thrombolysis between 30% and 90%), and 11 no change (NC, less than 30%) ; 3/ in SH group, 4 pts obtained CL, 15 PL, 8 NC and extension was seen in 2 pts. Thus, phlebographic improvement (thrombolysis more than 30%) was observed in 65% in both groups. In conclusion, these preliminary results suggested that sc administration of CY 222 and SH, both given by 2 daily injections, was equally effective in pts with acute DVT, and CY 222 seemed to be safer than SH.
Pathways to Urban Sustainability: An Investigation of the Economic Potential of Untreated Household Solid Waste (HSW) in the City of São Paulo

The depletion of natural resources, the useful life of landfill sites, and the amount of garbage accumulating all challenge public policy to manage urban solid waste. We identified the economic potential for unused solid waste (HSW) in São Paulo in 2018 to be USD 637,633,836.04 through descriptive quantitative research and documentary analysis in the collected data. This amount comes from five sources, with the majority coming from internalizing private cost credits (45.58%), followed by recycling (42.21%), carbon credits (5.46%), refuse-derived fuel (3.77%), and organic compounds (2.98%). This potential assumes the implantation of waste sorting plants that generate jobs, reduce public expenses, and provide environmental benefits such as forest protection, water, and minerals. The environmentally adequate final destination of HSW constitutes an economic and socio-environmental measure that enables the reverse logistics of the business sector and urban sustainability. Consequently, the economic potential of HSW, generated from its sorting and marketing, could provide a positive contribution with the mitigation of environmental impacts, in addition to income generation and social inclusion.
The Effect of CFO Demographics on Fraudulent Financial Reporting

This study aims to examine the effect of CFO demographics on financial statement fraud. The results contribute to companies for increasing CEO and CFO elections and corporate governance designed to prevent illegal actions. The sample in this study was manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2016-2018 with 308 data and hypothesis testing using multiple regression analysis techniques. The test results show that the age of the CFO affects the fraudulent financial statements. More mature the CFO engage with fraudulent financial statements. Other results indicate that the level of education, gender and experience of the CFO have no effect on financial statement fraud. The control variable used is ROA which has a positive effect on financial statement fraud. While company size and leverage have a negative effect on financial statement fraud.
Excessive ENaC-mediated sodium influx drives NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent autoinflammation in cystic fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and results in defective CFTR-mediated chloride transport, dysregulation of epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) and exaggerated innate immune responses. We tested the hypothesis that upregulation of ENaC drives autoinflammation in this complex monogenic disease. We show that monocytes from patients with CF exhibit a systemic proinflammatory cytokine signature, with associated anti-inflammatory M2-type macrophage deficiency. Cells harboring CF mutations are hyperresponsive to NLRP3 stimulation, as evidenced by increased IL-18, IL-1β, ASC-specks levels in serum and caspase-1 activity in monocytes, and by increased IL-18 production and caspase-1 activity in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). In both cell types there is an associated shift to glycolytic metabolism with succinate release, in response to increased energy requirements. Inhibition of amiloride-sensitive sodium channels partially reverses the NLRP3-dependent inflammation and metabolic shift in these cells. Overexpression of β-ENaC, in the absence of CFTR dysfunction, increases NLRP3-dependent inflammation, indicating a CFTR-independent ENaC axis in CF pathophysiology. Sodium channel modulation provides an important therapeutic strategy to combat lung inflammation in CF.
Recent Study on Clinical and Therapeutic Aspects of Giant Fibroids at the Hôpital du Mali about 30 Cases

The fibroids affect 20% to 25% of women of reproductive age and are 3 to 9 times more common in black women. We’ll talk about giant fibroids (GFs) when uterine height reaches or exceeds the navel. We have initiated this study in order to report the epidemioclinical and therapeutic aspects of giant fibroids at the Hopital du Mali. A descriptive retro-prospective study, conducted in the service of gynecology of the Hopital du Mali from November 2017 to December 2018 were included in this study, any patients, regardless of their age, having developed a fibroid, the uterin e height of the patient reaching or exceeding the umbilicus on physical examination and who were on surgical treatment. We had collected 30 cases of GFs out of the 92 patients who had undergone myomectomies, with a frequency of 32.60%. The age group 25 - 29 years accounted for 46.6% with an average age of 35 years. Housewives represented 50% and nulligravida made up 33% of our patients. Desire to become pregnant was the main reason for consultation in 34.4% of cases. The uterine height was between 25 and 29 cm on physical examination in 46.66% of cases. Myomectomy was performed in 76.64% and hysterectomy in 23.3% of cases. The size of the nuclei after surgery was over 25 cm in 48.66% of our patients. Conclusion: The giant fibroid (GF) is a common cause of myomectomy. The treatment is either hysterectomy or myomectomy and depends on the indications.
Helping Legumes under Stress Situations: Inoculation with Beneficial Microorganisms

In the upcoming years, legume crops will be subjected to multiple, diverse, and overlapping environmental stressors (raise in global temperatures and CO 2 , drought, salinity, and soil pollution). These factors will menace legume productivity and food quality and security. In this context, tolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are useful biotechnological tools to assist legume establishment and growth. In this chapter, tolerant PGPR able to promote legume growth will be revised. Besides, in the era of -omics, the mechanisms underlying this interaction are being deciphered, particularly transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic changes modulated by PGPR, as well as the molecular dialog legume-rhizobacteria.
Measurement of psycho-emotional constructs and self-management in health of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases

: This study intended to measure the scores of psych-emotional constructs and self-management in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), compare those scores according to the type of IBD, and verify the influence of these measures on self-management in health. This is a cross-sectional study performed at the outpatient clinic of a public Hospital. The patients were adults and diagnosed with IBD; they answered instruments of measure of self-esteem, anxiety and depression, health status and of activation. Pearson’s correlation test and Student's t test evaluated the variables of interest. The level of significance was 0.05. We evaluated 65 patients (average age = 40.71; SD = 14.26). We found high score of activation (average = 57.5; SD = 13.38) and high score of self-esteem (average = 31.58; SD = 4.98), moderate score of anxiety (average = 8.24; SD = 4.38) and low score of depression (average = 5.47; SD = 3.53). Significant correlations were observed, from low to moderate magnitude, between the other measures and activation (p < 0.05). There were weak correlations between activation and time since diagnosis; anxiety and number of comorbidities (p < 0.05). We have concluded that patients with IBD presented high self-esteem, moderate levels of anxiety, low levels of depression and a high level of activation. Longer time since diagnosis was related with better self-management in health.
Does Family Planning Messages Exposure in the Preceding 12 Months Period Predict the Current Use of a Modern Family Planning Method among Women of Reproductive Age in Nigeria?

This study examined how exposure to Family Planning (FP) information can influence modern contraceptive use among women of reproductive age in Nigeria. The study used a secondary dataset from the PMA2020/NGR4 conducted in 2017. A total of 11,380 females were interviewed, which is the sample size for this study. Data analysis included Univariate, Bivariate, and Multivariate techniques. Bivariate analysis findings showed that exposure to FP information was higher among those who know a place to obtain FP services. However, other exposure such as via radio, television, newspapers, told at the health facility are also significantly associated with the modern use of FP in Nigeria (p-value <0.05). Binary logistic regression showed that show that women who heard FP information on the radio were 0.23 times as likely to report using contraception compared to those who did not. To improve family planning use various ways of conveying family planning messages should be encouraged because multiple information sources on contraception help retain the message better and extend the reach of the campaign on family planning use.
Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Magnolia odoratissima (Magnoliaceae), an endangered and endemic species in China

Abstract Magnolia odoratissima Law et R. Z. Zhou only produced in Yunnan Province of China. The species with extremely small populations and critically endangered, and now is affirmed as the second most important protection of wild plants in China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome (cp) of M. odoratissima was sequenced, assembled and analyzed. Our results indicated that the cp genome of M. odoratissima was 159,536 bp in length, containing a large single copy (LSC, 87,688 bp) region and a small single copy (SSC, 18,764 bp) region separated by two reduced inverted repeats (IRs, 26,543 bp). A total of 114 unique genes were identified, including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and 4 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The overall GC content of M. odoratissima cp genome was 39.3%. Most of the 88 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were mononucleotides motifs of A/T types and were found to be located in non-coding regions. Phylogenetic analysis of M. odoratissima showed that M. odoratissima was the base group of genus Magnolia with strongly bootstrap supported.
Effects of Information Technologies on Organizational Culture: A Discussion Based on the Key Role of Organizational Structure

This chapter discusses the influences of information technologies on cultural features of organizations with an emphasis on the concept of “organizational structure” because research shows that organizational culture and organizational structure are in a very close relationship. In this regard, it argues that information technologies can have direct and indirect effects on organizational cultures based on the information technologies’ influences on organizational structures and the processes, activities, and human relations within these structures. Underlining different and controversial approaches and findings in the literature, this study makes some deductions by referring to important features of information technologies and organizational culture. Therefore, the approaches and evaluations given here are thought to be useful for the practitioners and students who are interested in the subject and the academic staff who are interested in doing research on this subject.
Mass balance and hydrological modeling of the Hardangerjøkulen ice cap in south-central Norway

Abstract. A detailed, physically based one dimensional, column snowpack model (Crocus) has been incorporated into the hydrological model WRF-Hydro. This allows for direct surface mass balance simulation of glaciers and subsequent modeling of meltwater discharge from glaciers. To evaluate the new system (WRF-Hydro/Glacier), WRF model simulations were downscaled to 1 km grid spacing to provide meteorological forcing data to the WRF-Hydro/Glacier system at 100 m grid spacing. Evaluation of the WRF downscaling showed that it compared well with in situ meteorological observations for most of the simulation period. The WRF-Hydro/Glacier system reproduced the glacier surface winter/summer and net mass balance, snow depth, surface albedo and glacier runoff well compared to observations. The WRF-Hydro/Glacier system is only activated over a priori designated glacier areas. This glacier area is initialized with observed glacier thickness and assumed to be pure ice (with corresponding ice density). This allows for melt of the glacier to continue after all accumulated snow has melted. Furthermore, the simulation of surface albedo over the glacier is more realistic as surface albedo is represented by snow where there is accumulated snow, and glacier ice when all accumulated snow is melted. The improved estimation of albedo has an appreciable impact on the discharge from the glacier during late summer. We have shown that the integrated snow pack system allows for improved glacier surface mass balance studies as well as hydrological studies.
The effect of omega fatty acids oral administration on apoptotic regulatory proteins in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma under chemotherapy-A double blind clinical trial study

Background & Aims: The use of some active factors in diet is regarded as an attractive approach to prevent and to treat certain types of cancers. Accordingly, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of PUFAs oral administration along with chemotherapeutic agent on the level of cellular apoptotic regulatory proteins in cancer cells of individuals with gastric cancer in order to identify the apoptotic changes. Materials & Methods: This study was a Clinical Trial in which the target group consisted of the patients with gastric cancer who were recognized for the first time and cured under chemotherapy. Thirty-four patients were chosen and categorized randomly into two groups. Case group includes the patients taking PUFAs along with the chemotherapeutic agents. In control group, individuals were under the same chemotherapy protocol without taking PUFAs. Biopsy samples of tumor were taken from the patients before and after chemotherapy. The Bcl-2, Bcl-XL Bid, and Bad gene expression were determined by Real-Time PCR. Also, those proteins upon biopsy samples were surveyed by Frozen Section method. Results: In case group, Bcl-2 and BclXL gene expression and protein levels decreased significantly in comparison with those of the control group. While Bid and Bad gene expression and protein levels increased significantly in comparison with those of the control group. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that use of PUFAs as supplement with Cis-platinum may be useful to stimulate more pro-apoptotic proteins in gastric cancer cells. Consequently, this offers an effective treatment to patients with gastric cancer to respond to chemotherapy.
