The Potential of Fermented Water Spinach Meal as a Fish Meal Replacement and the Impacts on Growth Performance, Reproduction, Blood Biochemistry and Gut Morphology of Female Stinging Catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis)

The identification and development of a new plant-based feed ingredient as an alternative protein source to FM have gained the interest of the aquafeed industrial players. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the physical, biochemical, and bacteriological properties of dietary FWM and the impacts on the growth and reproductive performances of farmed female stinging catfish, H. fossilis broodstock. Five experimental diets were formulated with different FWM inclusion (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%). Fatty acid profiles such as 4:0, 10:0, 20:0, 21:0, 22:0, 24:0, 20:1n9, 18:3n6, 20:3n6, 20:4n6, and 22:6n3 were found in higher levels in FWM compared to the water spinach meal (WM). Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in the physical properties of the FWM experimental diets (p > 0.05). Furthermore, the experimental feed with 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75% FWM were more palatable to the broodstock than 100% FWM. The number of total bacteria (TB) and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in catfish diets exhibited a rising trend with an increase in FWM, while 50% of FWM-fed fish intestines had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher TB and LAB than other treatment groups. The growth, feed utilization, and reproductive variables of H. fossilis were significantly (p < 0.05) influenced by FWM inclusion at various levels. Moreover, the significantly (p < 0.05) highest oocytes weight, fertilization, egg ripeness, and ovipositor diameter were observed in the treatment of 50% FWM diet treatment group. In addition, the spawning response was 100% in all treatments except for the control group (66.67%). Significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in the hematological and serum biochemical indices in most treatment groups. In addition, the histological analysis of H. fossilis midintestinal tissue indicated that the fish fed with a 50% FWM diet had an unbroken epithelial barrier with more goblet cell arrangements and a well-organized villi structure and tunica muscularis compared to other treatment groups. These outcomes suggested that FWM at 50% inclusion is an adequate protein supplement for fish feed, resulting in better growth, reproductive performance, and health of H. fossilis broodstock development.
On the Percentile Residual Lifetime of Parallel Systems

In this paper, we consider a parallel system consisting of n components. Then, the percentile residual lifetime of the system given survival of at least n − r + 1, r = 1, 2, …, n component(s) has been introduced, and some properties of this measure have been investigated. We show that the system accommodates decreasing percentile residual lifetime function, provided the components have increasing hazard rate functions. Different parallel systems have been compared with each other in terms of the introduced measure. Furthermore, behavior of the percentile residual lifetime of the system and the components have been compared in terms of some reliability notions. Also, a characterization result has been presented.
Giftedness Does Not Reside Within a Person: Defining Giftedness in Society Is a Three-Step Process

ABSTRACT This article describes a three-step process by which behaviors are associated with the concept of giftedness. In the first step, a three-way interaction of a person x task x situation leads to some kind of excellence in a societally significant performance. In the second step, that performance is identified as excellent and societally significant. In the third step, the performance is labeled as “gifted” and the person who did the performance potentially as a “gifted person. ” Behavior may be excellent (Step 1) and societally significant but not recognized as such (Step 2). Or behavior may be recognized as excellent and even societally significant (Step 2), but not be labeled as “gifted” (Step 3). The article elaborates on this three-step process.
Measuring IHDI in Indonesia and How The Impact of Investment and Government Expenditure

This research aims to measure Indonesia's Islamic Human Development Index (IHDI) and analyze the effect of domestic investment, foreign direct investment, and government expenditure on Indonesia's IHDI. IHDI is measured by calculating five indicators which are derivatives of maqashid sharia, namely the religion index, life index, family index, science index, and wealth index. Meanwhile, the analytical tool used to determine the effect of domestic investment, foreign direct investment, and government expenditure on IHDI is panel data regression. Observations were made in 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2015 to 2019. IHDI calculations show that Special DI Yogyakarta, North Kalimantan, Riau Islands, East Kalimantan, and DKI Jakarta are the top five provinces with the highest IHDI. Meanwhile, North Sumatra, Papua, East Java, South Sumatra, and East Nusa Tenggara are the five provinces with the lowest IHDI. The regression analysis results show that the IHDI in Indonesia is positively influenced by domestic investment and government expenditure, while foreign direct investment does not affect the IHDI in Indonesia.
A torsional dilatometer for volume change measurements on deformed glasses: Instrument description and measurements on equilibrated glasses

An automated mercury dilatometer has been designed and built for the purpose of making volume change measurements on cylindrical samples subjected to torsional deformations. In its current configuration the instrument takes readings of torque, normal force, and volume change upon application of a twist at one end of the sample. Volume change sensitivity of approximately 2× 10−6cm3 makes possible relative volume change measurements of the order of ΔV/V0≂10−7 given the sample geometry. Over long times temperature stability limits this to approximately 2.5×10−5. The instrument is described and preliminary measurements are presented for epoxy glasses which have been equilibrated by annealing near to the glass transition. The results show that the volume of the sample tested at temperatures ranging from 10 K below the conventionally measured glass transition temperature Tg to Tg increases upon application of a torsional deformation. This result is contrary to results reported in the literature for samples test.

Control of surface plasmon generation efficiency by slit-width tuning

We demonstrate control of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) generation efficiency via varying the width of a single slit that acts as a SPP launcher. Generated SPP intensities are directly measured through a near-field scanning microscope measuring both the transmitted and the scattered light. These results demonstrate enhancement as well as suppression of surface plasmon generation efficiency at specific slit widths. The experimentally observed sinusoidal width dependence can be explained by diffraction theory.
Low Magnesium in Conjunction with High Homocysteine and Less Sleep Accelerates Telomere Attrition in Healthy Elderly Australian

The relationship between sleep and micronutrients, including magnesium, is implicated in its regulation. The effects of low magnesium and other micronutrients on sleep disruption and telomere loss are not well understood. The present study was carried out in 172 healthy elderly subjects from South Australia. Plasma micronutrients including magnesium were measured. Each participant provided information about their sleep hours (<7 h or ≥7 h). Lymphocyte telomere length (TL) was measured by real-time qPCR assay. Plasma magnesium level was significantly low in subjects who sleep less than 7 h (p = 0.0002). TL was significantly shorter in people who are low in magnesium and sleep less than 7 h (p = 0.01). Plasma homocysteine (Hcy) is negatively associated with magnesium (r = −0.299; p < 0.0001). There is a significant interaction effect of magnesium and Hcy on sleep duration (p = 0.04) and TL (p = 0.003). Our results suggest that inadequate magnesium levels have an adverse impact on sleep and telomere attrition rate in cognitively normal elderly people, and this may be exacerbated by low levels of vitamin B12 and folate that elevate Hcy concentration.
The Interaction of the Galactic Center Arches Cluster and the Thermal Filaments

We present Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) measurements of the far-infrared (FIR) fine-structure lines [S IV] (10.5 μm), [S III] (33.5 μm), [O III] (51.8 and 88.4 μm), [N III] (57.3 μm), [N II] (121.9 μm), [O I] (63.2 and 145.5 μm), and [C II] (157.7 μm) at five positions on the thermal ``Arched'' Filaments in the Galactic center region in order to investigate the influence of the massive, young Arches cluster on the interstellar medium. Serendipitous measurements of OH (119.3 μm) are also presented. Radio recombination line and ISO spectroscopic measurements provide strong evidence that the Arches cluster is responsible for the excitation of the Arched Filaments. The observations reported here were selected to provide measurements close to the Arches cluster and at uniformly increasing projected distances over the range 0-9 pc. Within the measurement uncertainties, the diagnostic line ratios most sensitive to excitation and least sensitive to density fluctuations, [O III]/[S III] and [S IV]/[S III], appear to decrease with projected distance from the Arches cluster. In agreement with other studies, this provides additional evidence that the cluster is the primary ionization source for the Arched Filaments. The total FIR luminosity also generally falls with projected distance from the Arches cluster. The best predictions from photoionization models for the rapid decrease in the measured line flux ratios with projected distance from the Arches cluster, however, are only accurate to a factor of 1.5, including allowance for additional offset along the line of sight. The measurements of lines formed predominantly in photodissociation regions are not well matched by current models. High-resolution spectra indicate gas moving at -70 km s-1 only at the location of the Arches cluster, significantly different from the predominant -30 km s-1 gas seen in the underlying molecular cloud.
The writhe of a self-avoiding polygon

We discuss the writhe of a self-avoiding polygon on a lattice, as a geometrical measure of its entanglement complexity. We prove a rigorous result about the dependence of the absolute value of the writhe on the number n of edges in the polygon, and use Monte Carlo methods to estimate the distribution of the writhe both for all polygons with n edges and for the subset of polygons that are trefoils.
The Role of PET Imaging in the Differential Diagnosis between Radiation Necrosis and Recurrent Disease in Irradiated Adult-Type Diffuse Gliomas: A Systematic Review

Simple Summary Adult-type diffuse gliomas are the most common primary brain tumours. Radiotherapy is one of the therapeutic options offered upfront and/or after surgery both in naïve and recurrent patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the recommended technique for treatment response evaluation and follow-up. However, in patients previously treated with radiotherapy, MRI might be difficult to interpret since recurrent disease and treatment-related changes often appear similar. Therefore, other imaging modalities, including positron emission tomography (PET), have been explored in this clinical setting. The present work focused on PET imaging in adult-type diffuse gliomas aims to review available literature data and assess the capability of PET in discriminating between radiation necrosis and disease relapse in irradiated patients. Abstract Adult-type diffuse gliomas are treated with a multimodality treatment approach that includes radiotherapy both in the primary setting, and in the case of progressive or recurrent disease. Radiation necrosis represents a major complication of radiotherapy. Recurrent disease and treatment-related changes are often indistinguishable using conventional imaging methods. The present systematic review aims at assessing the diagnostic role of PET imaging using different radiopharmaceuticals in differentiating radiation necrosis and disease relapse in irradiated adult-type diffuse gliomas. We conducted a comprehensive literature search using the PubMed/MEDLINE and EMBASE databases for original research studies of interest. In total, 436 articles were assessed for eligibility. Ten original papers, published between 2014 and 2022, were selected. Four articles focused on [18F]FDG, seven on amino acid tracers ([18F]FET n = 3 and [11C]MET n = 4), one on [11C]CHO, and one on [68Ga]Ga-PSMA. Visual assessment, semi-quantitative methods, and radiomics were applied for image analysis. Furthermore, 2/10 papers were comparative studies investigating different radiopharmaceuticals. The present review, the first one on the topic in light of the new 2021 CNS WHO classification, highlighted the usefulness of PET imaging in distinguishing radiation necrosis and tumour recurrence, but revealed high heterogeneity among studies.
He I line emission and the helium abundance in cataclysmic variables

Time-resolved spectroscopy of a sample of eclipsing cataclysmic variables indicates that the He I emission lines are found with the Balmer lines in the outer regions of the accretion disk. Additional observations of lower inclination noneclipsing systems demonstrate that the He I emission is frequently characterized by relatively high singlet to triplet intensity ratios and an inverted line decrement, an unusual situation which can be explained in terms of emission from an optically thick (in the lines) region in local thermodynamic equilibrium. Calculations of steady state accretion disk structure show that the observed characteristics of the He I and H I lines can be reproduced in normal disk models, but only in the helium abundance is assumed to be very high, i.e., He/H> or approx. =100 by number. Enhanced helium abundances are thus implied for some cataclysmic variable secondaries, suggesting that they are either highly evolved cores or that they have an outer layer of processed material which was accreted from the white dwarf during earlier evolution of the system.
Effect of the Use of Gnrh Analogs in Low-Grade Cerebral Glioma

Low-grade gliomas are the most common brain tumors in children. This tumor type presents a wide range of clinical, histological, and biological behaviors. In recent years, an association between estrogens and progesterone and the development of tumors has been suggested. A case of a 2-year-old girl is described with a low-grade brain tumor treated with chemotherapy and disease stabilization. The treatment with Decapeptyl® was initiated due to precocious puberty, and the tumor showed a decrease in its solid component—more than 50% of the initial size—three years after starting treatment. Several studies have described the influence of estrogen and progesterone on the development of gliomas, decreasing or increasing their expression in those tumors with greater aggressiveness, respectively. Despite the fact that the tumor-hormonal expression relationship in other tumor types has been evaluated, its role in the treatment of brain tumors remains unknown.
Characterisation of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Alexandria, Egypt

The present study aims to characterise clinical MRSA isolates from a tertiary care centre in Egypt’s second-largest city, Alexandria. Thirty isolates collected in 2020 were genotypically characterised by microarray to detect their resistance and virulence genes and assign them to clonal complexes (CC) and strains. Isolates belonged to 11 different CCs and 14 different strains. CC15-MRSA-[V+fus] (n = 6), CC1-MRSA-[V+fus+tir+ccrA/B-1] (PVL+) (n = 5) as well as CC1-MRSA-[V+fus+tir+ccrA/B-1] and CC1153-MRSA-[V+fus] (PVL+) (both with n = 3) were the most common strains. Most isolates (83%) harboured variant or composite SCCmec V or VI elements that included the fusidic acid resistance gene fusC. The SCCmec [V+fus+tir+ccrA/B-1] element of one of the CC1 isolates was sequenced, revealing a presence not only of fusC but also of blaZ, aacA-aphD and other resistance genes. PVL genes were also common (40%). The hospital-acquired MRSA CC239-III strain was only found twice. A comparison to data from a study on strains collected in 2015 (Montelongo et al., 2022) showed an increase in fusC and PVL carriage and a decreasing prevalence of the CC239 strain. These observations indicate a diffusion of community-acquired strains into hospital settings. The beta-lactam use in hospitals and the widespread fusidic acid consumption in the community might pose a selective pressure that favours MRSA strains with composite SCCmec elements comprising mecA and fusC. This is an unsettling trend, but more MRSA typing data from Egypt are required.
Effect of free-stream turbulence characteristics on boundary layer transition

The present measurement campaign on the free-stream turbulence induced boundary layer transition scenario has provided a unique set of experimental data. This new set of data has the potential to enhance the understanding of the effect of the free-stream turbulence characteristic length scales on the transition location and not only the turbulence intensity, which has been the focus in most previous studies. Recent investigations where the turbulence intensity has been kept essentially constant, while the integral length scale has been changed, show that the transition location is advanced for increasing length scale. The present data confirms previous results for low turbulence intensities, but shows the opposite behavior for high turbulence intensities, i.e. that the transition location is advanced for decreasing integral length scales. Important to underline here is that the integral length scale has a relatively small influence on the transition location as compared to the turbulence intensity and data analyses are now directed towards enhanced understanding of how the different parts of the incoming energy spectrum affects the energy growth inside the boundary layer.
The Impact of Regional FTA on Export of Manufactured Goods: The Implementation of Gravity Model in Indonesia

Indonesian exports have not shown their best performance since Indonesian exports are still based on raw commodities, not manufactured commodities, causing Indonesia to experience a negative trade balance. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of the six regional FTAs applied in Indonesia and related trade factors on Indonesian exports of manufactured goods with 40 partner countries using gravity model during 2002-2019 as a means of evaluation. The result indicates that the regional FTA has positive impact on Indonesian exports of manufactured goods. It also indicates that the regional FTA only causes trade creation effect. Furthermore, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of two countries, economic distance, trade openness and the effective real exchange rate of partner countries significantly affect Indonesian exports of manufactured goods. Thus, it can be concluded that regional FTAs in both countries along with economic growth of Indonesia and partner countries, economic distance, trade openness and real effective exchange rate of partner countries are advantageous for Indonesian trade policy to increase the exports of manufactured goods.
Radiographic Diagnosis of Hip Laxity in Rottweilers: Interobserver Agreement at Eight- and Twelve-Months of Age

Simple Summary Hip laxity is one of the most frequent orthopedic disorders in dogs, and it is one of the main underlying reasons for canine hip dysplasia. Canine hip dysplasia is a progressive disease influenced by inheritance. Veterinarians can take timely preventive/therapeutic measures when hip laxity is diagnosed early, and prevent the participation of dysplastic dogs in breeding programs to reduce the prevalence of the disease. Effective treatment strategies can increase the welfare of dogs by reducing the severity of the disease at older ages. In this study, we aimed to assess the reproducibility of the protocols reported for the radiographic assessment of canine hip dysplasia in 8- and 12-month-old Rottweilers. Five observers investigated eight radiographic parameters at each examination time. According to the results, there were high interobserver agreements at both ages for the measurable parameters, such as the center edge angle (CEA), dorsal acetabular rim slope (DARS), distraction index (DI), and Norberg angle (NA), whereas the observers recorded poor to moderate agreements for the subjective values, such as the grading of the dorsal acetabular rim (GDAR), grading of the degenerative joint disease (GDJD), location of the center of the femoral head (LCFH), and sclerosis of the cranial acetabular rim (SCAR). Abstract Hip laxity is one of the predisposing factors of canine hip dysplasia. The early diagnosis of hip laxity allows veterinarians to prevent the participation of dysplastic dogs in breeding programs, which could lower the disease’s prevalence due to its genetic background. Furthermore, it allows them to plan preventive/therapeutic procedures for mild/near-normal hips to reduce the symptoms of the disease at older ages. A reliable screening program must be repeatable and reproducible, and intra- and inter-observer studies can help us to determine the best methods. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the radiographic parameters used for the early diagnosis of hip dysplasia in Rottweilers at 8 and 12 months of age with five observers to assess the interobserver agreements. According to our findings, there were high interobserver agreements at both ages for the quantitative values, such as the center edge angle (CEA), dorsal acetabular rim slope (DARS), distraction index (DI), and Norberg angle (NA), whereas we recorded from poor to moderate agreements for the qualitative values, such as the grading of the dorsal acetabular rim (GDAR), grading of the degenerative joint disease (GDJD), location of the center of the femoral head (LCFH), and sclerosis of the cranial acetabular rim (SCAR).
