Impact of Easing COVID-19 Restrictions on Fear of COVID-19 and Social Support Among Chinese Students: A Longitudinal Analysis

Introduction This longitudinal study aims to investigate the relationship between fear of COVID-19, support-seeking behaviors, and perceived social support among Chinese college students during two distinct periods of the COVID-19 pandemic: the period of strict control (time 1) and the period following a relaxation of restrictions (time 2). Methods A total of 408 Chinese college students participated in this study. Data collection included demographic information, measures of fear of COVID-19, support-seeking behaviors, and perceived social support. Results Fear of COVID-19 at time 1 showed a significant positive association with fear of COVID-19 at time 2. The relationship between support-seeking behavior at time 1 and fear of COVID-19 at time 2 was significantly mediated through a chain mediation effect of support-seeking behavior at time 1 and perceived social support at time 2. Discussion This study contributes to the growing body of evidence on the psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and underscores the significance of social support in mitigating fear of COVID-19. It calls for a re-evaluation of public health policies considering their potential psychological effects and introduces new opportunities for developing psychosocial interventions.
Ethylacetate Flavonoid Bio-compounds of Honey with Mitigating Anti-hyperlipidemic and Antioxidant Properties in Carbohydrate and Lipid Enriched Diets – Obese Rats

Honey is a rich material source of medicinal nutrients. This study investigated the hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects of honey, 50% fresh lime juice, and 50% honey (MIX) and ethylacetate flavonoid-rich fraction of honey (EAFH) in carbohydrate and lipid-enriched diets-obese rats. At phase 1, 54 male neonate Wistar albino rats were, divided into 3 groups of 18 rats. Groups 2 and 3 were fed a carbohydrate-enriched diet (CHD) and lipid-enriched diet (LP) for 14 days, and rats with Lee index ≥ 0.3 were considered obese. Rats (phase-2) were regrouped into 7 groups of 6 rats, and treated with honey, MIX, and EAFH. Flavonoids bio-compounds in EAFH characterized by HPLC (High-performance liquid chromatography) include; gallic acid, epigallocatechin, napthoresorcinol, and quercetin. Lee's index after obesity induction was ≥ 0.3. Adiposity index, diet intake, and body and organ weight of obese rats were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced after honey, MIX, and EAFH treatments compared to control. Significant (p < 0.05) decreased concentrations of glucose, leptin, insulin, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TAG), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG) coenzyme A (CoA) reductase activity (HMGCOARA), atherogenic risk index (ARI) and coronary risk index (CRI) and increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) after treatment with honey, MIX and EAFH was observed compared control and AOI. Antioxidant parameters of obese rats were significantly (p < 0.05) improved compared to control and AOI rats. Honey could serve as a model pharmacotherapy for treating dyslipidemia and oxidative stress linked to obesity.
The Effects of Antimicrobial Protocols and Other Perioperative Factors on Postoperative Complications in Horses Undergoing Celiotomy: A Retrospective Analysis, 2008–2021

Simple Summary Abdominal surgery is commonly performed in horses to treat gastrointestinal lesions or inflammatory conditions. Potential postoperative complications such as incisional infection have been shown to be reduced with appropriate perioperative antimicrobial administration. However, a recent survey of board-certified specialists on antimicrobial practices in horses undergoing celiotomy demonstrated that usage patterns were highly variable amongst practitioners and, at times, not concordant with the current literature. Furthermore, in light of recent evidence supporting an increase in antimicrobial resistance in equine veterinary practice, periodic reconsideration of antimicrobial regimens for commonly performed procedures is indicated. The goal of this retrospective study was to provide an updated review of the effect of antimicrobial protocols and other perioperative factors on postoperative complications in horses undergoing celiotomy at a referral hospital with the goal of advancing practitioners’ understanding of best practices and opportunities to reduce complications. Abstract Recognition of antimicrobial resistance in equine practice has increased over the past decade. The objective of this study was to provide an updated retrospective review of antimicrobial regimens in one tertiary referral hospital and to evaluate the association with postoperative complications. A secondary objective was to evaluate other perioperative factors including surgical procedure, anesthetic and recovery parameters, and the effect of perioperative medications on complications and outcomes. A computerized search of medical records was performed to identify horses undergoing exploratory celiotomy from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2021. A total of 742 celiotomies were performed (608 completed, 134 terminated intraoperatively). Factors recorded were evaluated using logistic regression for the presence of either incisional infection, postoperative ileus, or other complications postoperatively. Antimicrobial type or timing (pre-, intra-, or postoperative) were not associated with decreased risk of incisional infection or postoperative ileus; however, the duration of NSAID use was positively associated with incisional infection (OR 1.14 per day). Lidocaine and alpha-2-agonist administration postoperatively were also associated with increased incidence of postoperative ileus (OR 21.5 and 1.56, respectively). Poor recovery quality (OR 4.69), the addition of other antimicrobials besides penicillin/gentamicin postoperatively (OR 3.63), and an increased number of different NSAID classes used (OR 1.46 per additional) were associated with other complications. Implementation of enterotomy was associated with decreased risk of other complications (OR 0.64). These findings provide an updated summary of factors associated with postoperative complications in horses undergoing celiotomy.
Phytochemical Profile, Antioxidant Potential, Antimicrobial Activity, and Cytotoxicity of Dry Extract from Rosa damascena Mill

Dry rose extract (DRE) obtained industrially by aqueous ethanol extraction from R. damascena flowers and its phenolic-enriched fraction, obtained by re-extraction with ethyl acetate (EAE) were the subject of this study. 1H NMR of DRE allowed the identification and quantitation of fructose and glucose, while the combined use of HPLC-DAD-ESIMS and HPLC-HRMS showed the presence of 14 kaempferol glycosides, 12 quercetin glycosides, 4 phenolic acids and their esters, 4 galloyl glycosides, 7 ellagitannins, and quinic acid. In addition, the structures of 13 of the flavonoid glycosides were further confirmed by NMR. EAE was found to be richer in TPC and TFC and showed better antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP) compared to DRE. Both extracts displayed significant activity against Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, and S. epidermidis, but showed no activity against Candida albicans. Toxicity tests on normal human skin fibroblasts revealed low toxicity for both extracts with stronger effects observed at 24 hours of treatment that were compensated for over the following two days. Human hepatocarcinoma (HepG2) cells exhibited an opposite response after treatment with a concentration above 350 µg/mL for EAE and 500 µg/mL for DRE, showing increased toxicity after the third day of treatment. Lower concentrations were non-toxic and did not significantly affect the cell cycle parameters of either of the cell lines.

 -definability at higher cardinals: Thin sets, almost disjoint families and long well-orders

Abstract Given an uncountable cardinal $\kappa $ , we consider the question of whether subsets of the power set of $\kappa $ that are usually constructed with the help of the axiom of choice are definable by $\Sigma _1$ -formulas that only use the cardinal $\kappa $ and sets of hereditary cardinality less than $\kappa $ as parameters. For limits of measurable cardinals, we prove a perfect set theorem for sets definable in this way and use it to generalize two classical nondefinability results to higher cardinals. First, we show that a classical result of Mathias on the complexity of maximal almost disjoint families of sets of natural numbers can be generalized to measurable limits of measurables. Second, we prove that for a limit of countably many measurable cardinals, the existence of a simply definable well-ordering of subsets of $\kappa $ of length at least $\kappa ^+$ implies the existence of a projective well-ordering of the reals. In addition, we determine the exact consistency strength of the nonexistence of $\Sigma _1$ -definitions of certain objects at singular strong limit cardinals. Finally, we show that both large cardinal assumptions and forcing axioms cause analogs of these statements to hold at the first uncountable cardinal $\omega _1$ .
The Northridge, California earthquake of January 17, 1994 : Perfomance of highway bridges

On January 17, 1994 at 4:31 a.m., a magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Epicentered in the San Fernando Valley town of Northridge, California, the earthquake caused serious damage to buildings and sections of elevated freeways; ignited at least one hundred fires as it ruptured gas pipelines; and disrupted water supply systems. As a consequence, 57 people died, another 1,500 were seriously injured, and 22,000 were left homeless. Over 3,000 buildings, most of which were residential structures, were declared unsafe for reentry due to earthquake damage. Los Angeles, a city which has extensively prepared itself for earthquakes, found that it had experienced the most destructive event since the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Direct economic losses are estimated currently at over $20 billion. This reconnaissance report provides an analysis of major bridges damage with occurred during the earthquake. Eight highway bridges are described in terms of their geometry, site ground motions, observed damage and likely failure modes. (AU)
Tropical Nursery Manual: A guide to starting and operating a nursery for native and traditional plants

This handbook was written for anyone endeavoring to start and operate a nursery for native and traditional plants in the tropics. Because the tropics cover a vast area of the world, however, the scope of the handbook is geared toward readers in the U.S. affiliated tropics. Specifically, the U.S. affiliated tropics are a diverse area spanning two oceans and half the globe, including the nations of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Palau, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands, as well as the Territory of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Territory of American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the State of Hawai'i, southern California, Texas, and the southern part of Florida (see map on following page). Areas with similar conditions may also be served. This handbook is not a species-by-species account, though propagation protocols for many tropical species are available on the Native Plant Network (http://www.nativeplantnetwork.org).
The Effectiveness and Safety of Cupping Therapy on CV8 Shenque for Urticaria; a Protocol for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Purpose Urticaria is a common mast-cell-driven disease that poses a great burden on patients and society. Suggested therapeutic methods include avoidance of triggers and the use of medications, such as H1-antihistamines; however, limitations remain regarding efficacy, dealing with comorbidities, and adverse events. Cupping therapy (CT) at CV8 Shenque has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of various dermatological diseases, including urticaria. The efficacy of the treatment has been revealed by previous clinical trials and case reports. This study was performed to provide a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the effectiveness and safety of CT at CV8 Shenque for urticaria patients. Patients and Methods Searches of electronic databases using manual searches and contact with the corresponding authors will be performed using predefined criteria for all randomized controlled trials on CT at CV8 Shenque for urticaria patients. Every part of the process will be conducted by two independent researchers, with conflicts being solved by a third author. The primary outcomes will be symptom scores, quality of life, and effective rate. Secondary outcomes will be adverse events and diagnostic test results. RevMan 5.4 software will be used to perform the meta-analysis. The Cochrane Collaboration “Risk of bias” tool will be used for risk of bias judgments. Results Our study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CT at CV8 Shenque as a treatment option for urticaria. Conclusion This systematic review is the first to investigate the effect of CT at CV8 Shenque for urticaria patients. Our study will provide objective evidence of an alternative approach to urticaria for clinicians and patients. Study Registration PROSPERO (Registration number: CRD42023434913).
STOKES EQUATION SOLUTION USING THE LOCALIZED METHOD OF FUNDAMENTAL SOLUTIONS WITH A GLOBAL BASIS

The paper focuses on deriving a local variant of the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) for the case of Stokes flow. Compared to the global and local basis variants, the local with global basis one leads to a sparse characteristic matrix as in fully localized variants but with a narrower system of equations and thus makes the solution of especially large-scale problems more efficient. It is also essential to keep the condition number of the characteristic matrix within reasonable bounds and remove the solution dependency on fictitious sources. A combination of MFS and finite collocation approach was used for the localization with a globally defined Stokeslet fundamental solution. The results of the particular local variant were compared on several examples, and the dependence of the solution on the density of the point network and the dimensions of the stencil used were also tested in the paper.
Global Frequency Analyses of Canine Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration–Progressive Retinal Atrophy and Collie Eye Anomaly Using Commercial Genetic Testing Data

Hundreds of genetic variants associated with canine traits and disorders have been identified, with commercial tests offered. However, the geographic distributions and changes in allele and genotype frequencies over prolonged, continuous periods of time are lacking. This study utilized a large set of genotypes from dogs tested for the progressive rod-cone degeneration–progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA) G>A missense PRCD variant (n = 86,667) and the collie eye anomaly (CEA)-associated NHEJ1 deletion (n = 33,834) provided by the commercial genetic testing company (Optigen/Wisdom Panel, Mars Petcare Science & Diagnostics). These data were analyzed using the chi-square goodness-of-fit test, time-trend graphical analysis, and regression modeling in order to evaluate how test results changed over time. The results span fifteen years, representing 82 countries and 67 breeds/breed mixes. Both diseases exhibited significant differences in genotype frequencies (p = 2.7 × 10−152 for prcd-PRA and 0.023 for CEA) with opposing graphical trends. Regression modeling showed time progression to significantly affect the odds of a dog being homozygous or heterozygous for either disease, as do variables including breed and breed popularity. This study shows that genetic testing informed breeding decisions to produce fewer affected dogs. However, the presence of dogs homozygous for the disease variant, especially for prcd-PRA, was still observed fourteen years after test availability, potentially due to crosses of unknown carriers. This suggests that genetic testing of dog populations should continue.
Evaluating Regional and Global Hydrological Models against Streamflow and Evapotranspiration Measurements

AbstractLand surface and global hydrological models are often used to characterize global water and energy fluxes and stores and to model their future trajectories. This study evaluates estimates of streamflow and evapotranspiration (ET) obtained with a priori parameterization from a land surface model [CSIRO Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange (CABLE)] and a global hydrological model (H08) against a global dataset of streamflow from 644 largely unregulated catchments and ET from 98 flux towers and benchmarks their performance against two lumped conceptual daily rainfall–runoff models [modele du Genie Rural a 4 parametres Journalier (GR4J) and a simplified version of the HYDROLOG model (SIMHYD)]. The results show that all four models perform poorly in simulating the monthly and annual runoff values, with the rainfall–runoff models outperforming both CABLE and H08. The model biases in runoff are generally reflected as a complementary opposite bias in ET. All models can generally reproduce the observed seaso.
E-MQTT: End-to-End Synchronous and Asynchronous Communication Mechanisms in MQTT Protocol

Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) enables asynchronous confirmation of message reception by brokers but lacks a way for publishers to know when subscribers receive their messages without adding additional communication overhead. This paper addresses this problem by improving MQTT to establish end-to-end communication between a publisher and subscribers, reducing message exchanges, using what is called End-to-End MQTT (E-MQTT). In E-MQTT, a publisher sets the number of responses that it will wait for when it sends a message. After the broker collects the response messages from subscribers, it sends one aggregated response back to the publisher. The publisher also can receive the response message synchronously or asynchronously. Experimental results consistently show that E-MQTT outperforms traditional MQTT in terms of delay, especially when the publisher needs to monitor when its query message is received by subscribers. Although E-MQTT packets are slightly larger due to additional fields, the difference in packet size compared to MQTT is not significant.
Prevalence and Prognosis of Secondary Genetic Aberrations Among Patients With Core Binding Factor Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Mitelman Database Analysis

Background Core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) comprises t(8;21) and inv(16) and usually has a favorable prognosis. However, a wide spectrum of secondary genetic aberrations has been shown to be associated with worse outcomes with respect to overall survival (OS) and relapse. We aimed to identify secondary molecular and chromosomal aberrations within each group of CBF-AML, i.e., t(8;21) and inv(16), and to evaluate their prognosis with OS. Methods Using the Mitelman Database of Chromosome Aberrations and Gene Fusions in Cancer, we analyzed 193 cases of CBF-AML reported between 2011 and 2021. We conducted a survival analysis to determine the 5-year OS, and we conducted univariate and multivariate Cox regression to identify independent genetic factors related to OS. Results Among the 193 cases with CBF-AML, structural and numerical chromosome rearrangements were 25.9% and 40.9%, respectively, and secondary genetic mutations were 54.9%. The 5-year OS for the presence of del(7) and trisomy 22 was significantly worse. NRAS mutations had a worse 5-year OS in the t(8;21) group in the univariate analysis but showed no significant difference in the multivariate analysis. Conclusions CBF-AML has heterogeneous cytogenetic characteristics but no difference in the 5-year OS between the inv(16) and t(8;21) groups. Finally, the presence of del(7), trisomy 22 and NRAS mutations showed a potential prognostic impact in CBF-AML patients. Secondary genetic findings may need to be identified to determine its association to a worse prognosis, and in the future develop better targeted therapies in patients with CBF-AML.
Fleas as Useful Tools for Science

Adult fleas are blood-feeding insects that exclusively infest mammals, acting as parasites and disease vectors. Although certain species exclusively inhabit nests, others are commonly found on the bodies of mammals. Immature stages develop in the soil, inside or near the nests of their respective hosts, making them susceptible to environmental alterations. On hosts, flea infestations are usually defined by abundance, prevalence, and diversity, varying according to host age, sex, size, behavior, habitat, and climate. However, in spite of their vast parasitological importance, fleas have only occasionally been used in applied research. This review focuses especially on the use of mammal fleas as tools or indicators in solving biological, epidemiological, ecological, and phylogenetic questions, and raises new perspectives for future studies.
