Near-IR Atlas of S0-Sa galaxies (NIRS0S)

An atlas of Ks-band images of 206 early-type galaxies is presented, including 160 S0-S0/a galaxies, 12 ellipticals, and 33 Sa galaxies. A majority of the Atlas galaxies belong to a magnitude-limited (mB<12.5 mag) sample of 185 NIRS0S (Near-IR S0 galaxy Survey) galaxies. To assure that mis-classified S0s are not omitted, 25 ellipticals from RC3 classified as S0s in the Carnegie Atlas were included in the sample. The images are 2-3 mag deeper than 2MASS images. Both visual and photometric classifications are made. Special attention is paid to the classification of lenses, coded in a systematic manner. A new lens-type, called a 'barlens', is introduced. Also, boxy/peanut/x-shaped structures are identified in many barred galaxies, even-though the galaxies are not seen in edge-on view, indicating that vertical thickening is not enough to explain them. Multiple lenses appear in 25% of the Atlas galaxies, which is a challenge to the hierarchical evolutionary picture of galaxies. Such models need to explain how the lenses were formed and survived in multiple merger events that galaxies may have suffered during their lifetimes. Following the early suggestion by van den Bergh, candidates of S0c galaxies are shown, which galaxies are expected to be former Sc-type spirals stripped out of gas.
Model development to predict central lymph node metastasis in cN0 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma by machine learning

Background Whether prophylactic central lymph node dissection is necessary for cN0 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) patients remains highly debatable. Surgeons desperately need a way to help with surgical decision-making. While traditional predictive models can better explain changes in variables, machine learning (ML) models may have better predictive performance. This study aims to develop models for predicting the risk of central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) by utilizing ML algorithms. Methods The clinical records of 1,121 patients with cN0 PTMC who underwent initial thyroid resection at our hospital between January 2014 and December 2018 were retrospectively retrieved. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to examine risk factors associated with CLNM. Six ML algorithms for predicting CLNM were established and internally validated. Indices including the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC), sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated to test the performance of the model. Results The results showed 33.5% (376 out of 1,121) of patients had CLNM. In multivariate logistic regression (LR) analyses, gender, age, tumor size, multifocal lesions, and extrathyroidal extension (ETE) were all independent predictors of CLNM. The AUROC predictive values of the six ML algorithms were between 0.664 and 0.794, with the random forest (RF) model performing the best with an AUROC of 0.794. Therefore, we used the RF model and uploaded the results to a web-based risk calculator to predict an individual’s probability of CLNM (https://xijing-thyroid.shinyapps.io/ptmc_clnm). Conclusions Developing predictive models of CLNM in cN0 PTMC patients using the ML algorithm is a feasible method. Our online risk calculator based on the RF model may be a useful tool for surgical decisions.
A Social Information Processing Perspective on the Influence of Supervisors and Followers on Women’s and Men's Adaptability to Change

ABSTRACT Research on gender differences in adaptability to changing work conditions has revealed equivocal evidence. We provide a new perspective to this stream by proposing a model, grounded in theory of social information processing, that takes into account individuals’ responses to important others in their environment – namely, supervisors (for non-managerial employees) or subordinates (for managers). The model suggests that the performance of each category of important others can have differential impact on women’s and men's work outcomes amid changes. We use two-wave data collected from employees and managers who transitioned to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. We find no differences in adaptability across genders when important others are perceived to be effective. Among employees, when supervisors are perceived to perform poorly, changes at work relate to lower performance among men than among women. Among managers, when followers are perceived to perform poorly, changes at work relate to lower performance among women than among men. We offer recommendations to help men and women sustain performance over the course of a change. MAD statement Investigating inconsistent evidence on gender differences in adaptability to changing work conditions, we suggest that the performance of important others (supervisors, followers) have differential impact on women’s and men's work outcomes amid changes. Data from employees and managers who transitioned to telework during the COVID-19 pandemic reveal no differences in adaptability between men and women, when they perceive important others to function effectively during the situation. Among employees, when supervisors are perceived to perform poorly, changes at work relate to lower performance among men than among women. Among managers, when followers are perceived to perform poorly, changes at work relate to lower performance among women than among men.
A Study On The Relationship Between Career Management, Organizational Commitment And Intention To Leave Job: Izmit Korfez Industrial Window Enterprises Example

The aim of this research is to determine the relationships between organizational commitment, turnover intention and career management. The realization of organizational commitment can enable the effective implementation of career management. It can be thought that career management practices will reduce the intention to leave the job. A career is a learning process that encompasses the progress and development of a person's entire life. When the employee is satisfied with the learning process in the organization he is working in, he adopts working towards the goals of the organization, otherwise his commitment to the goals of the organization decreases and he considers leaving the job. Since it was aimed to determine the relationships between the variables in the research, the relational survey method was applied as a type of causal research. In line with the preferred method, data were collected by arranging a questionnaire. A questionnaire was applied to the employees of the glass producing business located in Kocaeli-İzmit Körfez industrial zone. Participants were selected with the convenience sampling method. The number of participants included in the analysis is 198. Organizational career management scale, organizational commitment scale, and turnover intention scale were used as data collection tools. The obtained data were analyzed with the 20th version of the IBM SPSS package program and the AMOS24 program. The analyzes started with exploratory factor analysis and the suitability of the sample size for factor analysis was determined. After the exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis was applied to the data. Normality test, mean, standard deviation and parametric tests were applied in data analysis. According to the results of the analysis, it was concluded that organizational career management affects intention to leave positively, organizational career management affects emotional commitment negatively, and emotional commitment affects turnover intention negatively.
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth - small intestine, big struggle

The gut microbiota plays an important role in the proper functioning of the human body. The microbes present in the intestines are important for the correct functioning of the digestive tract as well as other, often distant, organs of the human body. Unfavorable conditions may lead to an imbalance of intestinal microorganisms, leading to unfavorable consequences. Under physiological conditions, the large intestine is inhabited by a significant amount of bacteria, while the small intestine contains only a small amount of them. The appearance of pathological conditions in the gastrointestinal tract may lead to the colonization of the small intestine by an excessive amount of bacteria, which, in combination with gastrointestinal symptoms, is called small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. The most common symptoms associated with this disease are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and gas. It is difficult to diagnose this disease due to the lack of specific symptoms and imperfect diagnostic methods. The highest quality test is the microbiological test, however, due to the invasiveness of the method and the difficulties with precise collection of the material, less invasive tests are used, primarily the hydrogen breath test. The mainstay of treatment of bacterial overgrowth is antibiotic therapy, which aims to reduce the amount of bacteria to the extent that the patient does not feel the disease. It is also important to eat a diet rich in fiber and low in fermenting oligo-, di- and monosaccharides and polyols. Patients with the small intestinal bacterial overgrowth rarely develop symptoms of a severe course of the disease, however, due to the unpleasant symptoms and relatively easy treatment methods, the disease should be included in the differential diagnosis in people with risk factors and present symptoms.
Epidemiology of camel contagious ecthyma and molecular detection of the pathogen in Arero district, Ethiopia

Even though camels (Camelus dromedarius) were traditionally believed to be resistant to most livestock diseases, research has demonstrated that they are susceptible to a large number of infectious agents. Based on the clinical appearance of typical lesions, camel contagious ecthyma (CCE), caused by a Parapoxvirus (PPV), is thought to be one of the most common viral diseases of camels in Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2013 to April 2014 in the Arero district of Borena Zone, Oromia Regional State of Ethiopia to investigate the epidemiological aspect of CCE and molecularly identify the causative agent. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on B2L gene-specific primers of PPV was used for the confirmatory diagnosis of the CCE virus from the skin lesion of camels showing suspected clinical signs of CCE infection. Eighty-seven percent (87.0%) of camel owners reported the occurrence of CCE outbreaks in their herds in the past year (a year preceding the start of the study). The overall morbidity and mortality rates attributed to CCE were 20% (95% CI: 11– 36%) and 6.3% (95 % CI: 5.2 –7.6%), respectively. Younger camels had higher odds of becoming affected by CCE than adults [OR=3.44 (95 % CI: 2.29 –4.09)] and the difference was statistically significant. Confirmatory diagnosis of the suspected cases using conventional PCR generated the expected amplification product size of 1200bp for one of the samples. Therefore, the study confirms the presence and importance of CCE in Ethiopia and establishes the basis for further investigation.
On lattice cohomology and left-orderability

It has been recently conjectured by Boyer-Gordon-Watson that a closed, orientable, irreducible $3$-manifold $M$ is a Heegaard Floer $L$-space if and only if $\pi_1(M)$ is not left-orderable. In this article, we study this conjecture from the point of view of lattice cohomology, an invariant introduced by N\'emethi which is conjecturally isomorphic to the $HF^+$ version of Heegaard Floer homology. Using the invariant's combinatorial tractability as a stepping stone, we produce some interesting quite general families of negative-definite graph manifolds against which to test the Boyer-Gordon-Watson conjecture. Then, using horizontal foliation arguments and direct manipulation of the fundamental group, we prove that these families do indeed satisfy the conjecture.
I-the expanding universe from the huge void center: theory & modeling

To add to and refine the model presented at the Grado3 meeting, of a radial Hubble expansion from the Bahcall & Soneira huge void center, it is here outlined a formal analytical formulation of the theory and modelling on which the previous check work based itself. The new Hubble Law contains the distance R from the expansion center, multiplied by an angular function, and the H's variation, whose meaning and expression have been obtained and examined through a Galaxy Hubble law analysis based on derivatives with respect to light-space. This H's variation, as predicted by the model, is due to a combination of two dominant effects, respectively time (TE) and space (SE). Structurally the scattering noise of the nearby Universe Hubble ratios seems to be partially caused by a perturbative term. In conclusion a fundamental confirmation test of the model is presented. As a physical result, one obtains a higher matter density of the Universe.
Microleakage of two different posterior composites and a high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement: An in vitro study

Aim: Using AutoCAD, we examined the microleakage of permanent molars in Class I restorations using a conventional posterior composite resin, a bulk-fill composite resin, and a high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement (HVGIC). Methodology: In total, 33 extracted noncarious third molars were used. Class I cavities were prepared. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups of 11 teeth each, as follows: Group A (Filtek Z550), Group B (Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior Restorative), and Group C (EQUIA Fil). All specimens were stored for 24 h at 37 °C in distilled water. The teeth were thermocycled 1,000 times between 5 ± 2°C and 55 ± 2°C prior to immersion in 0.5% basic fuchsin for 24 h. Two mesiodistal cuts of each tooth were photographed under a stereomicroscope equipped with a digital camera. The dye-infiltrated surface area was measured. Results: Statistical evaluations were performed by one-way analysis of variance [ANOVA]. One-way ANOVA showed no significant difference between the three groups in microleakage (P = 0.07). However, the lowest microleakage ratio was seen in Group C (EQUIA Fil). Similar results were obtained with all tested materials, but the lowest microleakage rate was obtained with EQUIA Fil (Group C). Conclusion: In this study, the tested materials were not completely successful in eliminating microleakage, although the lowest microleakage rate was obtained with EQUIA Fil.

Diosmin and Trolox Have Anti-Arthritic, Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Potencies in Complete Freund’s Adjuvant-Induced Arthritic Male Wistar Rats: Roles of NF-κB, iNOS, Nrf2 and MMPs

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive, autoimmune disease caused by a malfunction of the immune system. The aim of this study was to examine the anti-arthritic effects and suggest the mechanisms of actions of diosmin and trolox in male Wistar rats. Complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) was used to establish RA in the animals by subcutaneous injection of 100 µL CFA/rat into plantar region of right hind leg in two consecutive days. Diosmin and/or trolox were administered orally at a dosage of 20 mg/kg/day to CFA-induced arthritic rats for 2 weeks. The normal and arthritic control groups were orally given the same equivalent volume of a vehicle (1% carboxymethyl cellulose) in which treatment agents were dissolved. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected from the jugular vein for the detection of the total leukocyte count (TLC) and differential leukocyte count (DLC) in blood and the detection of rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-13 (IL-13), and interleukin-17 (IL-17) levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), as well as markers of oxidative stress and the antioxidant defense system in serum. The right hind ankle regions of three rats from each group were dissected out and fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin for histological examination and the other three were kept at −30 °C for Western blot analysis of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) protein 50 (NF-κB p50), NF-κB p65, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 (MMP-1), MMP-3, and MMP-9. The CFA injection was deleterious to the ankle joint’s histological architecture, manifesting as infiltration of inflammatory cells into the articular cartilage, hyperplasia of the synovium, and erosion of the cartilage. All these effects were ameliorated by diosmin and/or trolox, with the combined dose being the most effective. The two compounds significantly lowered the elevated serum levels of RF, ACPA, TNF-α, and IL-17, as well as other pro-inflammatory mediators, such as NF-κB p50, NF-κB p65, iNOS, MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-9. They also increased the levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-13, and the cytoprotective transcription factor Nrf2. The compounds stimulated higher activities of antioxidants, such as glutathione, glutathione-S-transferase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase, and reduced lipid peroxidation in the serum of arthritic rats. In conclusion, diosmin, trolox, and their combination, which was the most potent, exerted anti-arthritic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects by suppressing NF-κB signaling, inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases, and activating Nrf2.
Arthropod-Borne Virus Surveillance as a Tool to Study the Australian Mosquito Virome

Mosquitoes (n = 4381 in 198 pools) were collected in March and April 2018 to survey the presence of West Nile virus Kunjin strain in mosquito populations around crocodile farms in the Darwin region of the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia. While no Kunjin virus was detected in these mosquitoes, we applied our viral replicative intermediates screening system termed monoclonal antibodies to viral RNA intermediates in cells or MAVRIC to this set of samples. This resulted in the detection of 28 pools with virus replicating in C6/36 mosquito cells and the identification of three insect viruses from three distinct virus classes. We demonstrate the persistence of the insect-specific flavivirus Palm Creek virus in Coquillettidia xanthogaster mosquitoes from Darwin over almost a decade, with limited genetic drift. We also detected a novel Hubei macula-like virus 3 strain in samples from two mosquito genera, suggesting the virus, for which the sequence was originally detected in spiders and soybean thrips, might be involved in a horizontal transmission cycle between arthropods and plants. Overall, these data demonstrate the strength of the optimized MAVRIC system and contribute to our general knowledge of the mosquito virome and insect viruses.
Tree structure and composition of the secondary tropical deciduous forest in the Central Depression, Chiapas, Mexico

Tropical deciduous forest is highly threatened and transformed by agricultural activities in Chiapas; however, little is known about its successional dynamics and regeneration potential. The objective of this research was to evaluate the regenerative capacity of secondary forests through changes in richness, diversity, composition, and structure in a forest reserve in the Central Depression of Chiapas. Twenty sampling units (SU) of 1,000 m2 were established in forests with different ages of abandonment (C10, C19, C35 and >C40, representing 10 years, 19 years, 35 years and 40 years, respectively), in which all individuals ≥5 cm normal diameter (ND) were measured. Attributes of structure and diversity were compared in each condition by analysis of variance and Tukey mean comparison test (p < 0.05) and floristic composition by ordination and classification analysis. A total of 142 species grouped in 96 genera and 41 families were recorded. Leguminosae was the family with the most species and individuals. The species with the highest relative abundances were Montanoa tomentosa (5.1%) and Tecoma stans (5%). Significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in cumulative richness, diversity (Shannon-Weiner H’ and 1D), density of individuals (ind ha-1), maximum height (m), basal area (m2 ha-1) and aboveground biomass (Mg ha-1). The multivariate analysis of variance procedure with permutations indicated significant differences (p < 0.05) in species composition between early (C10 and C19) and later (C35–C40) conditions. It was concluded that the structure and floristic composition of the secondary forest is recovering slowly (low resilience), so it is necessary to implement activities conducive to its conservation in the short term.
A Corpus-based Analysis of Noun Phrase Complexity in Research Article Part-genres in Applied Linguistics and Clinical Medicine

Complexity measures in academic writing have experienced a shift from clausal to phrasal indices in recent years. Drawing on a subset of Biber et al.‟s (2011) hypothesized stages of writing development, we explored phrasal complexity across sections (part-genres) of research articles (RAs) in applied linguistics and clinical medicine. A 389,332-word corpus consisting of 80 randomly selected RAs from leading journals in applied linguistics and clinical medicine was compiled for the purposes of the present study. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent-samples t -test, as implemented in SPSS (version 25), were employed to find differences across the RA sections and between two groups of academic writers. The findings indicated that RAs in clinical medicine relied more heavily on noun phrase modifiers in all sections than those in applied linguistics, suggesting that the distributional pattern of these linguistic expressions is discipline-independent. The implications of the distributional pattern of phrasal complexity are discussed in relation to L2 writing pedagogy and the development of genre-based, discipline-specific academic writing. relationship between syntactic complexity and rhetorical organizations of RA introductions among four social and engineering disciplines. The results obtained from their study indicated that there existed statistically significant disciplinary variations with regard to the realization of moves and steps in RA introductions as assessed by syntactic complexity metrics. When concluding their study, they noted that disciplinary variations play an important role in form-function mapping and genre-based pedagogy. discussion sections than in methods and results.
