Association of interleukin-6 with suicidal ideation in veterans: a longitudinal perspective

Introduction Studies showing associations between inflammation in suicide are typically cross-sectional. Present study investigated how cytokine levels track with suicidal ideation and severity longitudinally. Methods Veterans with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD) with or without suicide attempt history (MDD/SA n = 38, MDD/NS n = 41) and non-psychiatric non-attempter controls (HC n = 33) were recruited, MDD/SA and HC groups were followed longitudinally at 3 months and 6 months. Blood plasma was collected and processed using Luminex Immunology Multiplex technology. Results Significant differences in depression severity (BDI) and suicidal ideation severity (SSI) were observed across all groups at study entry, wherein MDD/SA group had the highest scores followed by MDD/NS and HC, respectively. Cytokines IL-1β, IL-4, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-6 were examined at study entry and longitudinally, with IL6 levels differing significantly across the groups (p = 0.0123) at study entry. Significant differences in changes in cytokine levels between depressed attempters and the control group were detected for IL-6 (interaction F1,91.77 = 5.58, p = 0.0203) and TNF-α (F1,101.73 = 4.69, p = 0.0327). However, only depressed attempters showed a significant change, in IL-6 and TNF-α levels, decreasing over time [IL-6: b = −0.04, 95% CI = (−0.08, −0.01), p = 0.0245 and TNF-α: b = −0.02, 95% CI = (−0.04, −0.01), p = 0.0196]. Although IL-6 levels were not predictive of suicidal ideation presence [OR = 1.34, 95% CI = (0.77, 2.33), p = 0.3067], IL-6 levels were significantly associated with suicidal ideation severity (b = 0.19, p = 0.0422). Discussion IL-6 was not associated with presence of suicidal ideation. IL-6 however, was associated with severity of ideation, suggesting that IL-6 may be useful in clinical practice, as an objective marker of heightened suicide risk.
Mechanical Properties of Polyester Matrix Composites with Carbon Hybrid Reinforcement and Woven Wire

This study is aimed to determine the mechanical properties of composite materials using hybrid reinforcing materials, namely carbon fiber and woven wire. The variations in the composition of the matrix / carbon fiber / woven wire (in%) used were 70/0/30, 70/30/0, 70,20 / 10, 50/30/20. The mechanical tests performed were the tensile test (ASTM D 638-03) and the impact test (ASTM D 6110). The results show that the composites with the composition 50/30/20 have the highest tensile and impact strength. Specimens with the highest carbon fiber content have better tensile strength.

The utilisation of digital technologies to modify business models and generate fresh avenues for revenue and value creation has been acknowledged as a prominent factor. Consequently, it becomes evident that substantial transformation is imperative to effectively realise the ultimate objective of establishing digital enterprises. The issue of digitalization is predominantly an administrative concern rather than a technical one. This article focuses on the aspects that contribute to the enhancement of customer satisfaction in online shopping within Aceh Province, Indonesia, during the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent recovery phase. Online buying has become a prevalent trend among consumers in recent times due to its inherent convenience. The researcher developed a conceptual framework in this study and intends to examine the correlation between seven variables: security, information availability, shipping, quality, pricing, time, and consumer satisfaction in the context of online purchasing. The framework has the potential to be utilised for future research and to make a valuable contribution to the existing body of information on emerging digital business models.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND TEACHER ENGAGEMENT IN PRIVATE SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN RIVERS STATE, NIGERIA

This study examined work-life balance and teacher engagement in private secondary schools in Rivers State. Three research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a correlation research design with a population of 7,143 teachers (2,676 males and 4,467 females) in all the 275 private secondary schools in Rivers State. The sample size of 714 teachers was drawn through proportionate stratified random sampling technique, which represents 10% of the population. Two self-designed instruments entitled: “Work-life Balance Questionnaire (WLBQ)” and “Teacher Engagement Questionnaire (TEQ)” were used for data collection. The instruments were in two sections – A and B. Section A consisted of the demographic factors while Section B contained the variables that were used to elicit information from the respondents. The Section B contained 20 items on Work-life Balance and 15 items on Teacher Engagement respectively. Face and content validities were ensured by experts in the relevant areas. The Cronbach’s Alpha reliability method was used to establish the internal consistency, and indexes of . 79 for WLBQ and . 83 for TEQ were established respectively. Research questions 1 and 2 were answered using simple regression while research question 3 was answered using multiple regression. Hypotheses 1 and 2 were tested with t-test associated with simple regression while hypothesis 3 was tested using ANOVA associated with multiple regression at 0.05 alpha level. The findings of the study revealed, among others, that work-life balance significantly and jointly predicted teacher engagement to a very low extent in secondary schools in Rivers State. Based on the findings, it was recommended, among others, that both employers and school managers should create flexible work environments that promote work-life balance for teachers so as to motivate them to perform optimally for the attainment of the educational goals.
Temporo Mandibular Joint Disorders in Condylar Fracure Management (Systematic review and Meta-Analysis)

Introduction : Condylar fractures represent about 10 e 40% of all mandibular fractures. Different management options are prescribed. Methods : Four internet databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and PubMed) were searched for relevant published articles in the last ﬁ ve years from 2017 till May 17, 2022 without restrictions. We included all studies whether Cohort investigations, case investigations, or randomized clinical trials. All treatment options for mandible condylar fractures were included like ORIF, closed management, conservative management, osteosynthesis, and ﬁ xation with its combination. The assessed outcomes were maximum mouth opening (MMO), lateral excursion, occlusion deranged, pain assessed with the Visual Analogue Scale, complications, and condylar depth distance. Only we managed to perform a single-arm meta-analysis on the MMO after the ORIF procedures by using Open Meta-Analyst. Results : The eligible studies were 17 studies with a total sample size of 1193 patients. The meta-analysis revealed that the mean effect of ORIF in MMO was 38.441 with a 95% con ﬁ dence interval ranging from 35.188 to 41.695. ORIF showed better results compared to closed management regarding MMO, decreased protrusive and lateral excursive movements, and pain while ORIF was better than conservative management regarding occlusal derangement. In ORIF procedures, combination with disc repositioning revealed a signi ﬁ cant positive in functional outcomes, Inter-maxillary Fixation with an occlusal splint usage was a more superior to open reduction in selected cases. Conclusion : Several management types of mandibular condylar fractures exist, with various factors being taken into consideration while choosing a certain type for a certain patient.
Experienced Nurses’ Motivation, Intention to Leave, and Reasons for Turnover: A Qualitative Survey Study

There is a global nurse shortage, and researchers have made great efforts in trying to unveil the reasons for turnover and how to increase retention. However, such research has had a tendency to study variables related to intention to leave (ITL) or turnover as isolated phenomena. Objective. To simultaneously explore what factors motivate experienced nurses in the workplace and the underlying reasons for strong ITL and high staff turnover within the profession. Design. An inductive qualitative content analysis was used based on data from open-ended survey questions. The data originated from the longitudinal analyses of nursing education/employment/entry (LANE) in work-life study. The qualitative data analyzed in this study were distributed in October 2017–January 2018, to all nurses in three cohorts corresponding to 11-, 13- and 15-year postgraduation. Of the 2,474 nurses answering the survey, 1,146 (46%) responded to one or more of the open-ended questions. Results. The result showed that what motivates experienced nurses, their intention to leave (ITL), and reasons for turnover could be described in the form of five broad categories, namely, organizational characteristics, work characteristics, relationships at work, work recognition, and health issues. There was rarely a one single reason described, rather several reasons needed to be experienced over time for nurses to stay motivated or leave the profession. Conclusions. There is no single reason that makes nurses leave the profession, nor is there one single reason that makes them motivated to stay. Retention and turnover are complex processes and need to be addressed as this, not as a single isolated phenomenon.
What is a city? : rethinking the urban after Hurricane Katrina

This book offers cutting-edge thinking on contemporary urban spaces.The devastation brought upon New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent levee system failure has forced urban theorists to revisit the fundamental question of urban geography and planning: What is a city? Is it a place of memory embedded in architecture, a location in regional and global networks, or an arena wherein communities form and reproduce themselves? Planners, architects, policymakers, and geographers from across the political spectrum have weighed in on how best to respond to the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina. The twelve contributors to "What Is a City? " are a diverse group from the disciplines of anthropology, architecture, geography, philosophy, planning, public policy studies, and sociology, as well as community organizing. They believe that these conversations about the fate of New Orleans are animated by assumptions and beliefs about the function of cities in general.They unpack post-Katrina discourse, examining what expert and public responses tell us about current attitudes not just toward New Orleans, but toward cities. As volume coeditor Phil Steinberg points out in his introduction, "Even before the floodwaters had subsided.scholars and planners were beginning to reflect on Hurricane Katrina and its disastrous aftermath, and they were beginning to ask bigger questions with implications for cities as a whole. "The experience of catastrophe forces us to reconsider not only the material but the abstract and virtual qualities of cities. It requires us to revisit how we think about, plan for, and live in them.
To Evaluate Early Feed vs Late Feed in Post-lower-segment Cesarean Section Patients at a Tertiary Care Center: A Randomized Controlled Study

A bstrAct Background: Cesarean section is one of the routinely performed surgeries in gynecology and obstetrics. Deliveries done by cesarean section have been seen to impact the postoperative feed in women. Usually, postdelivery by cesarean section the woman is given food through intravenous (IV). The feed is not given to the mother by mouth for some amount of time which is based on the opinion of different clinicians and hospitals. There is an assumption noted that if early feeds are given then the patient might suffer from postoperative ileus. This assumption, however, has not been evidenced by the available literature. It has been noted that early feed aids in faster recovery, quicker wound healing, and early discharge from the hospital. Therefore, early feed postcesarean operation is generally emphasized. Materials and methods: This was a prospective, single-centre, randomized controlled study conducted over a period of 1 year from 2020–2021. Subjects were randomized into group I (early feed) and group II (late feed). Various parameters were assessed and compared statistically in both groups. Results: Various functions and complications of gastrointestinal indications and psychosomatic parameters related to postoperative cesarean delivery were evaluated, and it was observed that there is no statistically significant difference between the early feed and the late feed. Conclusion: Early oral intake of food is safe and well tolerated; clinical outcomes are similar to delayed feeding. It does not cause a significant increase in postoperative paralytic ileus, and the results are equally good for patient satisfaction when compared with delayed feeding.
Varietal Differences in the Physical and Engineering Attributes of Underutilized Pigmented and Non-pigmented Paddy and Rice Landraces

Traditional rice landraces cannot be processed using standard machinery or unit operations. Traditional rice, on the other hand, is becoming more popular as its purported health benefits spread. Cracked rice grains, broken rice, and subpar milled rice kernels result from using non-standard equipment on landraces. So, studying the physical characteristics of rice and paddy is crucial for modifying milling equipment to lessen post-harvest losses. To preserve and familiarize the underutilized landraces, a comparative study of three pigmented and three non-pigmented landraces were assessed for their physical, gravimetric, and engineering traits using standard analytical protocols. The analysis demonstrated substantial variation among the evaluated properties. The majority of the traditional landraces were classified as long-bold and long-slender grains. The landraces exhibited variations in the equivalent diameter ranging from 0.29 to 0.46 mm and 2.54 to 3.38 mm for rice and paddy samples respectively. The major differences in other attributes like sphericity, aspect ratio, and surface area were also observed. Gravimetric properties of paddy and rice samples of Madumuzhungi (MMP) showed significantly lower values in contrast to other landraces. The highest porosity (51.43%), moisture content (14.97%) and water activity (0.88) was exhibited by the Madumuzhungi paddy sample. The non-pigmented rice samples displayed lower values for thousand kernal weight (TKW), grain volume and surface area. Almost all the variants except White mappillai samba paddy were under 30 g for TKW, indicating the differences between pigmented and non-pigmented landraces. Moisture content significantly affected the gravimetric and engineering properties of the landraces. The correlations between the dimensions and engineering qualities were investigated using principal component analysis (PCA). Five principal components, which account for 100% of the total variance, were used via PCA to reduce the dimensionality of the data.
Effets de la gestion des bandes enherbées sur le contrôle biologique des ravageurs de cultures : rôle de la diversité fonctionnelle des carabes (Coleoptera : Carabidae) et de la structure végétale

Dans les paysages agricoles, les habitats non cultives constituent une source importante pour l’entomofaune auxiliaire de cultures. Il est donc important d’adapter la gestion de ces habitats afin de beneficier au mieux des services fournis par la diversite de ces auxiliaires. L’objectif de cette these est de comprendre comment la gestion des bandes enherbees permet d’ameliorer le service du controle biologique delivre par les carabes. Nous avons d’abord examine par quels mecanismes, les changements dans la diversite fonctionnelle des carabes augmentent leur capacite de suppression de ravageurs. Ainsi, a ete comparee au laboratoire, l’efficience de predation sur une population de proie, par des assemblages de carabes qui ont differents niveaux de diversite de taille. Par ailleurs, a travers une experimentation mise en place dans des champs de cereales, nous avons etudie les effets de cinq modes de gestion des bandes enherbees sur la structure vegetale de ces habitats non cultives, et par consequent sur la structure des communautes carabiques. Nos resultats revelent l’absence d’une partition de ressources entre les carabes de tailles differentes. La quantite et de la taille de proies consommees augmente avec la taille des carabes. La suppression des proies a ainsi ete fortement augmentee par la presence des carabes de grande taille dans les assemblages. Ces resultats suggerent que l’augmentation de la diversite de taille chez les carabes augmente leur efficience de predation par l’effet d’echantillonnage. Nous avons mis en evidence une redondance fonctionnelle entre les especes de carabes. Cette redondance permet de reduire la variabilite spatio-temporelle dans la fonction de regulation exercee sur les populations de ravageurs. L’importance des bandes enherbees en tant qu’habitat pour plusieurs especes de carabes importantes pour le controle biologique, a ete mise en evidence. La gestion influence les carabes seulement dans les bandes enherbees. La diversite fonctionnelle des plantes au sein de ces bandes enherbees a ete identifiee comme le principal facteur favorisant la richesse specifique des carabes. L’activite-densite des carabes a, par ailleurs, ete favorisee par une vegetation peu heterogene et un pourcentage eleve de sol nu. Les carabes de tailles differentes divergent dans leur reponse a la structure de la vegetation. Cette divergence semble etre liee aussi a la variation d'autres traits d'histoire de vie des especes (i.e. regime alimentaire). Les connaissances et les resultats produits dans le cadre de ce travail de these, serviront au developpement d’indicateurs mesurant l’impact des pratiques de gestion sur le controle biologique exerce par les carabes

Deformation of Floating Ice Shelves

Abstract The problem of the creep deformation of floating ice shelves is considered. The problem is solved using Glen’s creep law for ice and Nye’s relation of steady-state creep (the analogue of the Lévy-Miles relation in plasticity theory). Good agreement is obtained between an observed creep rate at Maudheim in the Antarctic and that predicted from the results of creep tests made by Glen.
The Influence of Vertical Wind Shear on the Evolution of Mountain-Wave Momentum Flux

The influence of vertical shear on the evolution of mountain-wave momentum fluxes in time-varying cross-mountain flows is investigated by numerical simulation and analyzed using ray tracing and the WKB approximation. The previously documented tendency of momentum fluxes to be strongest during periods of large-scale cross-mountain flow acceleration can be eliminated when the cross-mountain wind increases strongly with height. In particular, the wave packet accumulation mechanism responsible for the enhancement of the momentum flux during periods of cross-mountain flow acceleration is eliminated by the tendency of the vertical group velocity to increase with height in a mean flow with strong forward shear, thereby promoting vertical separation rather than concentration of vertically propagating wave packets.
