Vitamin D micronutrient and COVID-19: the missing link

The current onset and expeditious increase of COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), has established a global health predicament. Declared as pandemic and public health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO), it follows an extremely heterogeneous course from mild flu like symptoms to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. This outbreak intimidates the public with human to human escalation, which is the primary concern worldwide with a still unforeseeable result. With limited data on plausible therapy and vaccination, it is significant to unravel the virulence mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 to delineate chemoprevention that might curb the fatal outcome. It may be acknowledged here that the primary stage of disease prevention depends on the protective immune response to eliminate the virus. This postulation kindles interest in the intervention of vitamin D micronutrient, which might unfold the feasibility of slowing disease advancement and decreasing the risk of mortality. Taking into account, the wide spectrum of beneficial effects ascribed to vitamin D like antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant action, it can be administered to affect immune cell proliferation and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 expression, which is the basis of pathogenesis of transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Recently, several observational clinical and epidemiological studies underline the hypothesis regarding mean vitamin D level and COVID-19 mortality. More so some retrospective analysis reported the correlation between vitamin D level and disease severity. Nevertheless, potential clinical researches and randomised control trials are recommended in COVID-19 patients with different levels of disease extremity to appraise the useful outcomes.
A Review of Organic Agriculture Industry in Malaysia and Gross Margin between Organic and Conventional Plantation

The objective of this study are 1) To review the definition of organic farming 2) To investigate the international and local standard for organic food and 3) To compare gross margin between organic and inorganic paddy farming. Using field evaluation and interview techniques, this study conducted a study on 3 organic farms and 27 inorganic paddy farms in Malaysia. Two leading organic agriculture regulators in the world are IFOAM and USDA, IFOAM allows private standard setters to define their additional criteria and USDA does not allow others to set a standard that is above the federal. This study also laid out a few organic accreditations in several Asian countries including Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Japan, India, and China. Field evaluation of conventional and organic paddy plantation are discussed and it is found that organic plantation earned less gross margins (13.5 %) as compared to inorganic farming. This study may give some inputs for the Research and Development (R&D) department to improve the organic farming activities and how to reduce its cost and increase its gross margin. Organic farming is important as it is sustainable to lure bio-economy strategy and food security in Malaysia as laid out in National Agricultural Policy.

Properties of Semantic Coherence Measures - Case of Topic Models

—Measures of semantic relatedness and coherence are used in several Artiﬁcial Intelligence (AI) applications. Topic models is one of the ﬁelds where these measures have a role. In evaluating topic models, it is important to know well the properties of the used measure or measures. In this paper, it is ﬁrst shown how 16 proposed coherence measures behave in ﬁnding the highest coherence in Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) processing. With the collected exceptionally large corpus data from Wikipedia, it was then determined the correlations of the measures and the number of topics in LDA. From the average behavior of the measures, it is possible to conclude the range where the maximum values of coherence probably occur. Approximation of the size of a corpus giving statistically signiﬁcant results in these respects is possible. Comparisons to human ratings are also included. The data and the R-codes for the calculations are made public. This paper explains many of the features affecting the use of coherence measures, including the roles of corpus/sample size, number of topics and the existence of local maxima of the measures. Differences of the measures and their correlations are also described.
Efficacy of Teachers’ In‐Service Training for Increasing Their Knowledge of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Eastern Region, Saudi Arabia

The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a training programme in increasing teachers’ knowledge of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. The sample comprised 124 teachers from schools in the said region, and these teachers were divided into two groups: (1) experimental group with 62 teachers and (2) control group with 62 teachers. The quasi-experimental approach was employed for collecting data; the Cognitive Awareness Scale of ADHD (Melhem, 2020) was also employed. It consists of 37 items distributed into three domains, namely, general knowledge, characteristics and diagnosis and treatment. Results revealed that the effectiveness of the training programme in increasing teachers’ ADHD knowledge was in favour of the experimental group. Moreover, no statistically significant differences were observed in the increase of the levels of ADHD knowledge amongst the teachers in the experimental group due to the variable of teaching experience. That is, the levels of ADHD knowledge of teachers from the experimental group are the same according to their teaching experience. In sum, the training programme significantly increased the levels of ADHD knowledge of teachers from the experimental group. Moreover, educational institutions in Saudi Arabia should include ADHD training programmes in teacher-training curricula in Saudi Arabia.

Assessment of Agronomic Traits of Selected Spider Plant ( Cleome gynandra L.) Accessions

Spider plant (Cleome gynandra L.) is an African indigenous vegetable with great potential to improve food and nutritional security and incomes among resource-poor communities in Africa. However, there is limited information on the potential of the existing spider plant genotypes for vegetable and seed production. Knowledge of the agronomic traits and performance of the existing spider plant genotypes is crucial in selecting superior types for crop improvement programs. A study was conducted to assess selected spider plant accessions' agronomic traits pertinent to seed and vegetable production. Two greenhouse and field experiment were carried out. In this study, 40 spider plant accessions were evaluated for agronomic traits on-station at Kabete Field Station (University of Nairobi) and on-farm at Nyabokarange village, in Bukira North location, Kuria West Sub-County (Migori County) in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data collected included days to seedling emergence, percent seedling emergence, plant height, number of leaves per plant, days to 50% flowering, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, the weight of 100 seeds, and seed yield per plant. They were subjected to analysis of variance using GenStat 15th edition at a 5% probability level. The number of days to seedling emergence and percent seedling emergence varied significantly from 4 (accession GBK-045436) to 12.7 (accessions GBK031992, GBK-031837 and GBK-032302) and 23% (accession Baringo) to 59% (commercial variety), respectively. The number of leaves per plant varied significantly from 23.2 (accession Mombasa) to 121.7 (accession GBK-028563), while plant height ranged from 16.0 cm (accession Mombasa) to 107.1 cm (accession GBK-045436). The number of pods per plant ranged from 12.3 (accession Mombasa) to 101.5 (accession Kakamega). Seed yield per plant ranged from 0.3 g (accession Mombasa) to 16.8 g (accession GBK045456 and GBK-045436). The number of leaves per plant was proportional to the number of primary branches (r = 0.81 and 0.78) in the greenhouse and field, respectively. Plant height recorded a significant positive correlation with the number of leaves(r = 0.87) in the field experiment. Results demonstrated that there are significant genotypic variations among the evaluated spider plant accessions. Spider plant landraces generally performed better than the commercial variety (Saga). Genotypes GBK031991, Kakamega, GBK-045456, GBK-032302 and, accession Migori had superior agronomic traits and can be recommended for farmers' cultivation and used in developing new varieties of spider plant.
Effect of Tail Capacitor on Phase Noise in LC Cross-connected Oscillators: An Analytical Investigation

This paper investigates the effect of tail capacitance on phase noise of an LC-VCO (LC voltage-controlled-oscillator). First, the analytical relations of the phase noise for different values of tail capacitor (CT) are derived and then for verifying them, simulation and calculated results are compared. For simplicity, three scenarios such as small, medium and large values of CT are considered. In a case study an LC-VCO is designed in a standard 0. 18µm CMOS technology, and simulation and numerical results have been presented for different values of CT. In this case study, numerical analysis shows that for CT =200fF (medium CT) and CT =10pF (large CT), the phase noise at 1MHz offset from the 5.2GHz is -96dBc/Hz and -118dBc/Hz, respectively. According to the results, the ISF (Impulse sensitivity function) is improved by increasing the amount of CT. Numerical values also demonstrate that excessive increase of CT has no effect on the phase noise. While choosing bigger CT can effectively reduce the noise contribution of the tail by bypassing the noise of tail transistor, but low impedance path generated by CT may degrade the phase noise by reducing tank quality factor.
Father’s participation in childcare and household tasks

The paper presents the results of a study on fathers’ engagement in caregiving and household tasks and their perception of a father’s role in the household. The aim of the paper is to find out what fathers perceive as ˝being responsible˝ and how their perception is related to their engagement and role in the household. Therefore, we carried out research among employed or self-employed men, living with their female partners and children in the same household. The research was carried out in September 2019 in a Central European country (Slovenia). Results of our research support the stereotypic classification of household tasks in terms of gender. Fathers who consider participation in care and upbringing of children as a relevant aspect of a responsible father more frequently do housekeeping, washing the dishes (washing and stacking), garbage collection and hanging up and collecting laundry. Fathers who consider financial support as a relevant aspect of a responsible father more frequently pay the bills; they also agree that a mother is considered to be much more burdened with regard to unpaid work than a father.
Microglial Plasticity Contributes to Recovery of Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells during Experimental Stroke

Brain stroke is an acute neural disorder characterized by obstruction (ischemic) or rupture (hemorrhagic) of blood vessels causing neural damage and subsequent functional impairment. Its pathophysiology is complex and involves a multitude of pathological events including energetic collapse, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, metabolic acidosis, cell death and neuroinflammation. Despite its clinical importance, there is no effective pharmacological therapies available to diminish secondary damage avowing functional deficits. Considering the failure of pharmacological approaches for stroke, cell therapy came as promising alternative. Different cell types have been investigated in different experimental models with promising results. An important issue regarding the transplantation of stem cells into the damaged CNS tissue is how the pathological environment influences the transplanted cells. It has been established that an exacerbated inflammation in the pathological environment is detrimental to the survival of the transplanted stem cells. This prompted us to develop an experimental strategy to improve the therapeutic actions of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) transplanted into the acute phase of brain stroke by modulating microglial activation with minocycline. In this chapter, we first review the basic pathophysiology of ischemic stroke with emphasis on the role of microglia to the pathological outcome. We then review the experimental approach of modulating microglia activation in order to enhance therapeutic actions of BMMCS for experimental stroke. We suggest that such an approach may be applied as an adjuvant therapy to control excessive neuroinflammation in the pathological environment allowing acute transplants and improving therapeutic actions of different kind of stem cells.
University of Birmingham Mitochondrial metabolic remodelling in response to genetic and environmental perturbations

Mitochondria are metabolic hubs within mammalian cells and demonstrate signi ﬁ cant metabolic plasticity. In oxygenated environments with ample carbohydrate, amino acid, and lipid sources, they are able to use the tricarboxylic acid cycle for the production of anabolic metabolites and ATP. However, in conditions where oxygen becomes limiting for oxidative phosphorylation, they can rapidly signal to increase cytosolic glycolytic ATP production, while awaiting hypoxia-induced changes in the proteome mediated by the activity of transcription factors such as hypoxia-inducible factor 1. Hypoxia is a well-described phenotype of most cancers, driving many aspects of malignancy. Improving our understanding of how mitochondria change their metabolism in response to this stimulus may therefore elicit the design of new selective therapies. Many of the recent advances in our understanding of mitochondrial metabolic plasticity have been acquired through investigations of cancer-associated mutations in metabolic enzymes, including succinate dehydrogenase, fumarate hydratase, and iso-citrate dehydrogenase. This review will describe how metabolic perturbations induced by hypoxia and mutations in these enzymes have informed our knowledge in the control of mitochondrial metabolism, and will examine what this may mean for the biology of the cancers in which these mutations are observed.
Effect of Built Environment on Health Dimensions during the Quarantine: A Cross-Sectional Study Following the Covid-19 Pandemic in Iran

INTRODUCTION: The imposition of quarantine in pandemics brings about negative psychological consequences. Sufficient understanding based on environmental and behavioral sciences leads to the prediction of needs and preparedness. Given the role of housing and the environment on health, awareness of their effects on the COVID-19 pandemic will facilitate future actions and risk management planning. METHODS: The present cross-sectional exploratory study was conducted based on a mixed-method approach. In the qualitative section, participants who were selected by non-probability sampling method were interviewed via phone, and data collection continued until data saturation using the snowball method. A number of 27 telephone interviews were conducted and after the content analysis of unorganized data, the questionnaire was developed in three parts, the initial pilot was conducted on 30 participants, and Cronbachchr('39')s alpha was calculated at 0.76. Moreover, 144 online questionnaires were completed in What’sApp virtual groups by purposive and available sampling method, followed by statistical analysis. FINDINGS: As evidenced by the obtained results, in house and interior design scales, surface area; furniture; color; opening and outdoor space as well as living space and in neighborhood scale, density indicators; shared accesses and spaces have positively affected the tolerance of quarantine, reduction of anxiety, and health improvement. Furthermore, stress-reducing places were found to be different in different age groups. In addition, some motivations have generated some new behaviors and needs which are supported by such affordances as openings and windows to open spaces for the provision of natural daylight and ventilation, as well as a specific open space for movement, nature enjoyment, activity, physical activity, and contact with the natural environment. CONCLUSION: There was a reciprocal relationship between behavioral orientations and environmental-physical aspects of housing in the current health crisis. The residential environment can influence disease prevention and the promotion of health-related behaviors.
