Associations of the Sleepiness With Physiologic Changes in Night Shift Rehabilitation Healthcare Workers

Background: Sleepiness and the changes in vital signs affect the quality of work of hospital staff. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleepiness and physiological changes and vital signs in night shift workers in rehabilitation staff. Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study performed on night shift personnel of Rafideh Hospital in Tehran City, Iran, in 2018. A questionnaire, including demographic information and the Stanford sleepiness scale, was used for data collection. The results were analyzed using repeated measures analysis in SPSS software v. 21. Results: The Mean±SD age of the participants was 38.23±5.96 years, comprising 33 men (64.7%) and 18 women (35.3%). Most personnel were married (72.5%) and non-smoker (82.4%). The amount of sleepiness increased significantly with increasing working time. Demographic characteristics had no significant association with sleepiness. However, there was a significant negative association between sleepiness and heart rate, and oral temperature. Blood pressure showed a decreasing trend with increasing working time until midnight. Also, an increase in blood pressure was recorded at 2 AM. Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that sleepiness might have a significant association with vital signs in night work personnel. Hence, proper planning of shift work schedules and compatibility with physiological conditions might result in better working conditions for medical staff.
A Compact Spectrograph to Search for Extrasolar Planets

The most successful method used so far to search for extrasolar planets is the radial velocity technique, where periodical shifts on the measured emission from a star provide evidence for an orbiting planet. This method has been used on large telescopes with large and expensive instrumentation, only enabling a small amount of observing time per star. We have developed a compact spectrograph fed by one or several single-mode fibres that avoids the need for complex fibre scrambling or gas absorption cells for calibration. In principle, this will enable planet searches around bright stars over the next few years. We aim to pave the way for large networks of small telescopes searching for Earth-like planets. At a resolving power of R~50000, I have characterized this spectrograph, determined its stability and the fidelity required for a simultaneous calibration source.
Vibration Monitoring of UH-60A Main Transmission Planetary Carrier Fault

A crack in the planetary carrier of a UH-60A Blackhawk main transmission was investigated through analysis of the measured vibration time synchronous average. Vibration measurements of faulted and nonfaulted transmissions were acquired at a range of torque settings in a controlled test cell environment and onaircraft conditions. Several standard diagnostic parameters were modified for the special case of an epicyclic gearbox and applied to the measured data. Only two of the diagnostic parameters investigated in this paper were consistently successful at detecting the presence of a fault in test cell conditions. None of the diagnostic parameters were able to detect the crack in the on-aircraft conditions, measured only at low torque.
Evaluation of Grain Yield and Its Components of some Bread Wheat Promising Lines under Low Input Conditions in Upper Egypt Region

Twenty bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes were obtained from the Low Input Breeding Program at El Gemmeiza Agricultural Research Station. Four field experiments during two seasons 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 were done to evaluate these genotypes under normal and stress conditins at El-Mataana Agricultural Research Station. The experimental design was randomized complete block design, with three replications. Each season two experiments were done. The first experiment was represented normal conditions. Five times of irrigation with 70 Kg N/fed were used. However, the second experiment represented low input conditions two times of irrigation with 35 kg N/fed was used. The results indicated that low input had a significant effect on decreased heading and maturity dates. Results cleared that Shandaweel 1 had the best performance under both normal and low input condition. According to Stress Susceptibility Index (SSI) Misr 2 and Shandaweel 1 were considered as highest tolerant genotypes. Regarding to factor analysis two factors were identified under both normal and low input conditions. Each factor consists of the most effective characters. Results for cluster analysis obtained three major clusters of genotypes were classified under both normal and stress conditions. The first cluster which considered as high yielding genotypes was consisted of eleven genotypes namely Line 1, Line 8, Giza 171, Sids 14, Misr 2, Shandaweel 1, Line 5, Line 9, Line 7, Misr 3, and line 11 under normal conditions. Meanwhile, it consisted only of five genotypes namely Giza 171, Misr 2, Shandaweel 1, Misr3 and Sids 14 under low input conditions.
Sprint running, agility and anaerobic endurance standards for the students at the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies

Resolving critical incidents can be extremely physically demanding for police officers. Consequently, throughout the selection process, training, and working career, police officers' physical abilities are often assessed with a battery of tests. Research has been conducted with a total sample of 523 students (232 female and 291 male) at the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies (UCIPS), with the aim of defining the norms for Linear sprint performance at 20 m (LSP20m), Illinois agility test (IAT) and Shuttle run 300-yard (ShR300y). The homogeneity of the results has been established by the low skewness and kurtosis coefficient, as well as by the values obtained from the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, meaning the data are not significantly statistically different from the normal distribution. Based on the percentile distribution, qualitative and quantitative normative values have been defined for LSP20m, IAT and ShR300y. The achievement levels have been ranked as follows: < P10 (insufficient), P10 to P25 (poor), P25 to P50 (fair), P50 to P75 (good), P75 to P90 (very good) and > P90 (excellent). LSP20m, IAT and ShR300y tests can be used for assessing acceleration, running speed and change-of-direction speed in the anaerobic work regime. Furthermore, they correspond to the first stage of critical incidents resolution-getting to the problem (hence can be viewed as job-related fitness tests). Since population norms have been established, their implementation in the battery of tests for the assessment of UCIPS stu-dents' physical abilities in the sense of running tests can be quantitatively applied at the situational system of testing of Specialized Physical Education.
Regional futures in crisis: lived experience and the generative role of intermediaries

ABSTRACT As society responds to climate extremity and the COVID-19 pandemic, and as decarbonisation transforms the economy, regions will bear much of the adjustment burden. Powerful forces are re-imagining and reassembling regions, with investment in infrastructure, rare earth minerals mining and processing, green energy and battery hubs, and sovereign manufacturing capacity. While large-scale projects promise employment opportunities, transitions are unlikely to proceed smoothly – for workers, regions, or the environment. Moreover, they risk concentrating corporate power and sectoral dependencies, with limited community participation in decision-making, and amplified socio-spatial and environmental injustices. Unconvinced of the resilience contributions of such projects amidst profound climatic, geopolitical and health disruptions, this paper shifts the focus to qualitative conditions on the ground. Foregrounded are the lived experience of crises, vernacular initiatives to address crises in a more participatory, less corporatized, ‘minor’ key, and the critical roles played by intermediary actors and care networks. Amidst upheaval and trauma, regions are witnessing a host of quieter transformations: First Nations fire and land management partnerships; social enterprise formation; care practices among skilled agricultural and industrial workers; prosaic disaster response initiatives; and expanded research capacity in regional universities. Regional relationships, and the intermediary networks that sustain them, will prove vital in crisis. Beyond viewing future opportunities for regional Australia principally through large-scale infrastructural projects, planning has a distinctive role to play in mediating quotidian conditions of disruption, nurturing active, durable, and meaningful bonds between diverse regional communities, industries, and institutions. Practitioner pointers Critical scrutiny is needed of visions for regional futures overly fixated on major post-pandemic infrastructure and decarbonisation projects Beyond technical considerations, planning practice must be inclusive of lived experiences of disruption, incorporating and listening to diverse voices Informing principled planning practice, on-going qualitative research is needed to document on-the-ground conditions, intermediary relationships, and vernacular resilience capacities
The Effect of Medium and Instruction While Creating Mandalas

Abstract This randomized controlled study examined the effects of creating open circle mandalas with divergent instruction type (distraction and reflection) and medium type (resistive and fluid) on state anxiety, mood, and mindfulness. The design followed a 2 (instruction type) × 2 (medium type) × 3 (time) mixed experimental design. Reflective writing tasks were analyzed for linguistic expression. Results indicated anxiety reduction and improved mood across all conditions as evidenced by explicit assessment. Implicit assessments determined enhanced mindfulness for reflection instruction type and fluid medium type. Practical connections to the Expressive Therapies Continuum (Lusebrink, 1990) and Media Dimensions Variable (Kagin & Lusebrink, 1978) frameworks are discussed.
Immunomodulatory Effects of (R)-Sulforaphane on LPS-Activated Murine Immune Cells: Molecular Signaling Pathways and Epigenetic Changes in Histone Markers

The aim of this study was to explore the immunomodulatory effects of the natural enantiomer (R)-Sulforaphane (SFN) and the possible signaling pathways involved in an ex vivo model of LPS-stimulated murine peritoneal macrophages. Furthermore, we studied the epigenetic changes induced by (R)-SFN as well as the post-translational modifications of histone H3 (H3K9me3 and H3K18ac) in relation to the production of cytokines in murine splenocytes after LPS stimulation. (R)-SFN was able to modulate the inflammatory response and oxidative stress induced by LPS stimulation in murine peritoneal macrophages through the inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO) and cytokine (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, IL-18 and TNF-α) production by down-regulating the expression of pro-inflammatory enzymes (iNOS, COX-2 and mPGES-1). We also found that activation of the Nrf-2/HO-1 axis and inhibition of the JAK2/STAT-3, MAPK, canonical and non-canonical inflammasome signaling pathways could have been responsible for the immunomodulatory effects of (R)-SFN. Furthermore, (R)-SFN modulated epigenetic modifications through histone methylation (H3K9me3) and deacetylation (H3K18ac) in LPS-activated spleen cells. Collectively, our results suggest that (R)-SFN could be a promising epinutraceutical compound for the management of immunoinflammatory diseases.
Neuromorphic Near-Sensor Computing: From Event-Based Sensing to Edge Learning

Neuromorphic near-sensor computing has recently emerged as a low-power and low-memory paradigm for the design of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled IoT devices working at the extreme edge. Compared to conventional sensing and learning techniques, neuromorphic sampling, and processing reduces data bandwidth requirements, induces large savings on power and area consumption, and enables online learning and adaptation. In this article, we discuss recent studies made in the design of event-based sampling and learning circuits. We show that our event-based sampling methods outperform conventional techniques in terms of power consumption. We also show that our spiking neural network (SNN), learning through spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), outperforms the state-of-the-art SNN-STDP systems in terms of inference accuracy while being orders of magnitude more power efficient than conventional deep-learning systems. We hope that the opportunities discussed in this summary article will inspire future research.

The analytical tool used is multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS 25 analysis tool. The results show that earnings per share, return on assets, the proportion of old shareholder ownership, underwriter reputation, and company age have a significant effect on initial return. Meanwhile, debt to equity ratio, price earning ratio, and auditor reputation have no effect on initial return.
Modelling the Economic Impact of lnfluenza Vaccine Programs with the Cell-Based Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine and Adjuvanted Trivalent Influenza Vaccine in Canada

In Canada, approximately 12,000 people annually are hospitalized with influenza. While vaccination is the most effective method for reducing the burden of seasonal influenza, the propagation of vaccine virus strains in eggs can result in egg adaption, resulting in reduced antigenic similarity to circulating strains and thus lower vaccine effectiveness (VE). Cell-based propagation methods avoid these alterations and therefore may be more effective than egg-propagation vaccines. We evaluated three different scenarios: (1) egg-based quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIVe) for individuals <65 years and adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine (aTIV) for ≥65 years; (2) QIVe (<65 years) and high-dose QIV (HD −; QIV; ≥65 years); and (3) cell-based derived QIV (QIVc; <65 years) and aTIV (≥65 years) compared with a baseline scenario of QIVe for all age groups. Modelling was performed using a dynamic age-structured SEIR model, which assessed each strain individually using data from the 2012–2019 seasons. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis assessed the robustness of the results with respect to variation in absolute VE, relative VE, number of egg-adapted seasons, and economic parameters. QIVe + aTIV was cost-saving compared with the baseline scenario (QIVe for all), and QIVe + HD − QIV was not cost-effective in the majority of simulations, reflecting the high acquisition cost of HD − QIV. Overall, while the incremental benefits may vary by influenza season, QIVc + aTIV resulted in the greatest reductions in cases, hospitalizations, and mortality, and was cost-effective (ICER < CAD 50,000) in all simulations.
Oral melatonin did not reduce anxiety before elective hernia repair: A randomised, double‐blinded, placebo‐controlled trial

Preoperative anxiety is a common issue in surgery. Preoperative anxiety may lead to increased mortality, pain and dissatisfaction with surgery. Melatonin is a drug with only mild adverse effects and has previously been shown to reduce anxiety and pain in the perioperative setting. The aim of study was to investigate the anxiolytic effect of melatonin in the preoperative setting.
Evaluation of Locomotion Complexity in Zebrafish after Exposure to Twenty Antibiotics by Fractal Dimension and Entropy Analysis

Antibiotics are extensively used in aquaculture to prevent bacterial infection and the spread of diseases. Some antibiotics have a relatively longer half-life in water and may induce some adverse effects on the targeted fish species. This study analyzed the potential adverse effects of antibiotics in zebrafish at the behavioral level by a phenomic approach. We conducted three-dimensional (3D) locomotion tracking for adult zebrafish after acute exposure to twenty different antibiotics at a concentration of 100 ppb for 10 days. Their locomotor complexity was analyzed and compared by fractal dimension and permutation entropy analysis. The dimensionality reduction method was performed by combining the data gathered from behavioral endpoints alteration. Principal component and hierarchical analysis conclude that three antibiotics: amoxicillin, trimethoprim, and tylosin, displayed unique characteristics. The effects of these three antibiotics at lower concentrations (1 and 10 ppb) were observed in a follow-up study. Based on the results, these antibiotics can trigger several behavioral alterations in adult zebrafish, even in low doses. Significant changes in locomotor behavioral activity, such as total distance activity, average speed, rapid movement time, angular velocity, time in top/bottom duration, and meandering movement are highly related to neurological motor impairments, anxiety levels, and stress responses were observed. This study provides evidence based on an in vivo experiment to support the idea that the usage of some antibiotics should be carefully addressed since they can induce a significant effect of behavioral alterations in fish.

Protaper retreatment file system was faster than Fanta and M3 progold retreatment file with significant difference. 3 protaper, 2 Fanta, 5 M3 progold files were broken. Fanta showed the highest amount of debris extrusion with significant difference. Under the circumstances of this study, it can be concluded that fanta and M3 progold file has higher efficiency in removal of obturating material, protaper faster in retreatment, different root section affects amount of remaining root filling material, M3 progold file system has more broken files, fanta extrude more debris than protaper and M3 progold.
Corruption and Economic Growth in ASEAN-5 Countries

The goal of economic development is economic growth nor foreign direct investment, but this increase must be supported by improving the quality of people, the population, and reducing the level of corruption. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of corruption on economic growth and foreign direct investment. Using the variables of economic growth, foreign direct investment, corruption perception index, population, and human development index. The sample is ASEAN-5 countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, and Thailand from 2010-2020. The findings of our first model show that neither the corruption perception index nor the population index is significant, while the human development index has a positive relationship and has a significant effect on foreign direct investment in ASEAN-5. The findings of our second model are that the corruption perception index has a negative and significant effect on economic growth, while the human development index and foreign direct investment have no significant effect on economic growth in ASEAN-5.
Cancer Stem Cell Markers in Rhabdomyosarcoma in Children

(1) Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the cancer stem cell (CSC) markers CD24, CD44, CD133, and ALDH1A1 in rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in children and to define their prognostic role in this group of patients. (2) Methods: The study material was archival tissue specimens collected from 49 patients under 18 years of age and who had been diagnosed with RMS. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to evaluate the expression of the selected CSC markers in the tumor tissue. Expression was evaluated using a semiquantitative IRS scale based on the one developed by Remmele and Stenger and was correlated with the clinical and pathomorphological parameters of prognostic importance in RMS. (3) Results: Expression of the selected CSC markers CD24, CD44, CD133, and ALDH1A1 was demonstrated in 83.7%, 55.1%, 81.6%, and 100% of the RMS patients, respectively. The expression of all of the assessed CSC markers was statistically significantly higher in the study group versus the control group. No significant correlation was found between the expression of the selected CSC markers and clinical and pathological prognostic factors that were analyzed. The expression of the CSC markers did not have a significant influence on RMS survival rates. (4) Conclusions: The results of the conducted study confirm the expression of selected CSC markers in rhabdomyosarcoma tissue in children. The study did not support the prognostic relevance of the expression of any of the assessed CSC markers. However, further studies are needed to fully understand the relevance of the selected CSC markers in RMS carcinogenesis.
Recordings of geomagnetically induced currents and a nowcasting service of the Finnish natural gas pipeline system

The geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) in the Finnish natural gas pipeline have been measured at one site in southern Finland since November 1998. We give an overview of this long and uniform time series covering one sunspot maximum. We also briefly discuss the conventional magnetic activity indices K and Ak, and, additionally, the range of the magnetic field and of its time derivative, as indicators of the GIC activity. The measured GIC data formed the basis of the development of a nowcasting service (GIC Now! ), which was implemented within the European Space Agency Space Weather Applications Pilot Project. The service provides a near‐real‐time view of the geomagnetic activity level and nowcast estimates of GIC and pipe‐to‐soil voltages in the Finnish natural gas pipeline system. We describe the operation and validation of this service in this paper.
Anticipating Binding Constraints: An Analysis of Financial Covenants

This paper documents evidence that the anticipation of future covenant violations aﬀects ﬁrm investment and borrowing decisions. Applying textual analysis to earnings call transcripts, I construct a novel measure of anticipated covenant violations by dis-tinguishing between discussions of covenants that relate to the future as opposed to the past or present. Firms that anticipate covenant violations reduce their investment and debt issuance prior to an actual violation. To disentangle the response due to the constraint from unobserved changes in productivity, I calibrate a theoretical model to ﬁrm-level data and study the dynamics of investment and debt issuance around violations relative to an unconstrained ﬁrm facing an identical path of productivity shocks. Results from model simulations conﬁrm a sizeable reduction in investments and net debt issuance in anticipation of covenant violations.
