The Role of Human Gut Microbe Ruminococcus gnavus in Inflammatory Diseases

Dysbiosis is a prominent factor in numerous inflammatory conditions, with Ruminococcus gnavus, a prevalent gut microbe, implicated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), eczema, metabolic disorders, and rheumatic diseases. R. gnavus contributes to inflammation by producing an inflammatory polysaccharide and degrading mucin. The increasing evidence of elevated R. gnavus abundance in various inflammatory conditions suggests its potential as a therapeutic target. Despite this, there are limited studies on treatment strategies targeting R. gnavus. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the association between R. gnavus and diverse inflammatory conditions, highlighting the need for further research to explore effective treatment options against this bacterium.
Repressurization following eruption from a magma chamber with a viscoelastic aureole

I analyze an approximate solution for spherical magma chambers (radius R1) surrounded by Maxwell viscoelastic shells (radius R2) in elastic half‐spaces following a sudden decrease in pressure. Mass flux into the chamber is proportional to the pressure difference between a deep source and chamber, p∞−p(t) . Solutions depend on R2/R1, ℬ≡βc/(βm+βc) , where βm,βc are magma and chamber compressibilities, tR is the relaxation time, and τ is the recharge time for the elastic system. Without recharge the system exhibits either posteruptive deflation or, for incompressible magmas, partial reinflation. More generally, immediate posteruptive inflation is favored by large ℬ,tR/τ and small R2/R1. With short tR and large ℬ the time for magma chamber pressure to recover increases significantly. Posteruptive creep increases the chamber pressure, decreasing the pressure gradient driving recharge, delaying pressure recovery. Following eruption the hoop stresses, which are initially compressive, relax toward the radial stress causing them to go through a local (relative tension) maximum. The magma pressure in excess of the dike normal compression at the chamber wall can recover to preeruptive values well before the chamber pressure or erupted mass recovers. This suggests that dikes could nucleate at the chamber margin well before sufficient pressure has recovered to drive them far from the chamber. For some parameters coeruptive deflation has not fully recovered when the magma overpressure relative to hoop stress in the elastic region is restored to preeruptive values, a condition assumed to be sufficient for eruption.
Effect of Female board member on firm Performance: Evidence from Pakistan

This study examines the impact of women on boards as corporate governance on corporate performance, with a focus on evidence from Pakistan. The study used a sample of 100 non-financial corporations listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, selected using a dedicated sampling methodology and covering the period from 2010 to 2019. The results of the survey shown that women board members have a significant impact on the company's performance, indicating that women have effective management skills in asset management and related activities. The literature unanimously supports the idea that the presence of women on boards of directors has a significant impact on company performance. The importance of this study lies in the fact that it explores the different dimensions of women on boards of directors as aspects of corporate governance, providing valuable insights into the decision-making process of investors. In particular, the study contributed to the literature by addressing gaps associated with emerging economies, particularly in Pakistan, as most existing research focuses on developing countries.
Connecting Humans and Non-Humans

A recent trend in public health campaigns has been to include non-human health data to capture all relevant variables related to human well-being. This specific approach is the foundation of the World Health Organization restructuring in the early 2000s as they adopted the “one health” framework. Politically, this movement is influential and draws significant health funding globally. "One health" is characterized by a multi-disciplinary collaboration between medical, veterinary, and health sciences. Similarly, the post-human turn in medical anthropology recognizes that viewing the non-human contributions to the cultural construction of health as symbolic does not adequately address how non-humans and nature independently contribute to human health realities. Ethnographic studies of the non-human perspective shed light on how humans are not the only beings that influence culturally constructed reality, nor are they exclusively in control of cultural phenomena. Theoretical trends in anthropology and public health seemingly converge; however, an artificial academic barrier between the sciences and social sciences remains. As these two disciplines are coming closer together through their data, breaking down structural barriers that prevent the successful integration of knowledge has potential to improve human health outcomes. Methodological concessions will have to occur on all sides to make the inclusion of the social sciences in public health possible. Doing so can bring academia closer to a comprehensive scientific understanding of human health.
Environmental Reviews & Case Studies: Evaluation of Coastal Ocean Discharges and Environmental Impacts in Southeast Florida

This article outlines the current literature regarding anthropogenic inputs of nutrients and microorganisms into the coastal oceans. The concern about nutrients and microorganisms in coastal marine waters is that they may cause a shift in local populations of organisms and encourage invasive algae and coral diseases. The lack of baseline data on marine populations makes it difficult to determine the source of marine population shifts. This report focuses on the question of whether there is sufficient data to implicate coastal ocean outfall discharges of secondary treated wastewater effluent in southeast Florida as a causative agent in impacts to coastal communities. The literature does not appear to support evidence of population shifts from any particular source.
Dipole Density Guided Catheter Ablation versus Conventional Substrate Modification for Repeat Catheter Ablation of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Aims: The optimal ablation strategy for recurrent persistent atrial fibrillation (persAF) after initially successful catheter ablation (CA) remains debatable. Dipole density (DD) guided CA using the AcQMap system has been proven to be feasible and effective in patients with persAF. So far, long-term outcome data for DD-guided CA in patients with recurrence of persAF are sparse. This study sought to assess long-term outcome data in patients undergoing a DD-guided CA for recurrence of persAF after previous CA in comparison to conventional repeat CA. Methods and Results: Patients undergoing DD-guided CA for recurrence of persAF after previous ablation were compared to patients undergoing conventional substrate modification (CSM). A total of 64 patients (32 DD-guided and 32 CSM) were included in this analysis. Procedure duration (DD: 236 ± 61 min; CSM: 198 ± 59 min; p = 0.004) and fluoroscopy time (DD: 36 ± 15 min; CSM: 20 ± 11 min; p = 0.0001) were significantly longer in the DD group. After a long-term median follow-up (FU) of 27 months (interquartile range 12.8–34.3), DD-guided CA was inferior to CSM regarding overall arrhythmia-free survival (DD: 6 patients (19%), CSM: 11 patients (34%); HR 1.47; p = 0.04). Freedom from AF did not differ between both groups (DD: 16 patients (50%); CSM: 18 patients (56%), HR 0.99, p = 0.47). During FU, more patients underwent repeat CA after DD-guided ablation (DD: 16 patients (50%), CSM: 7 patients (22%), p = 0.04). No major complications occurred overall. Conclusions: Dipole density-guided CA is equally safe but associated with longer procedure duration compared to conventional substrate modification for treatment of recurrent persAF after previous CA. Of note, long-term arrhythmia-free survival is significantly worse after DD-guided ablation, and more patients undergo redo procedures.
Mycobacterium szulgai Pulmonary Infection in an Immunocompromised Patient

Mycobacterium szulgai is a slow-growing nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM). It was first described in 1972 and is responsible for less than 0.2% of all NTM infections. The most common presentation resembles pulmonary tuberculosis, but it may also present as an extrapulmonary disease. It primarily affects individuals with underlying lung disease or immunocompromising conditions. The increasing use of tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors, such as adalimumab, is associated with an increased risk of serious infections. We report a case of Mycobacterium szulgai infection in a 23-year-old woman with a history of childhood pneumonia and Crohn’s disease on adalimumab.

A Model of the Optimal Fit of Resource Distribution to the Equilibrium of Life Attitudes among Participants of Hostilities in Ukraine

The article aims to analyse the model of optimal adaptation of resource distribution to the equilibrium of life attitudes among participants of hostilities in Ukraine. The multidimensional concept of meaning and purpose proposed by Gary Reker was used to define the equilibrium of life attitudes. In this context, the equilibrium of life attitudes is constituted by six dimensions of the experience of the meaning of one’s own existence: purpose, coherence, life control, acceptance of death, existential void and goal seeking. The model of optimal fit of resource distribution to the life attitudes equilibrium was developed on the basis of Stevan Hobfoll’s Conservation of Resources Theory (COR). The model of optimal fit of resource distribution to the equilibrium of life attitudes included the experience of resource gains in five dimensions: resourcefulness, social status resources, resilience resources, family resources and growth resources, while reducing losses in growth resources.

Correlation between Knowledge and Attitudes of Female Adolescents Towards Compliance with Iron Supplements

The research aims to determine the correlation between the knowledge and attitudes of female adolescents toward compliance with consuming iron supplements at the Junior High School of SMPN 01 Long Bagun. This research was quantitative design research with a cross-sectional approach with a sampling technique using proportionate stratified random sampling. In selecting samples for each class, simple random sampling was used. The number of samples in this study was 79 female students at SMPN 01 Long Bagun, using questionnaires and interviews. Bivariate results show no significant relationship was found between knowledge and compliance with consuming iron supplements with a p-value of 0.2560 with r 0.129; also, no significant relationship between attitude and compliance with consuming iron supplements with a value of 0.0280. 05 with r = 0.248. It is suggested that schools be able to carry out activities for drinking iron supplements together at school so that female adolescents can be controlled at predetermined and scheduled times and that the Community Health Center can provide counseling to young women on an ongoing basis and supervise schools regarding the implementation of drinking iron supplements together, as well as making efforts to carry out hemoglobin checks for them at school
First observations of super plasma bubbles in Europe

Ionospheric plasma bubbles of equatorial origin have never been registered at midlatitudes in Europe. During the 22–23 June 2015 geomagnetic storm the prompt penetration electric fields caused the occurrence of plasma bite‐outs in the postsunset sector over low latitudes of Western Africa and large‐scale plasma bubbles extended toward Europe. For the first time, using multisite GPS and Global Navigation Satellite System observations (~1500 stations), the super plasma bubble signatures were registered in Europe. They were observed more than 8 h (20–04 UT) and covered a broad area within 30°–40°N and 20°W–10°E. These unique results were confirmed by measurements on board Swarm and DMSP satellites and ground‐based absolute total electron content observations. Occurrence of the super plasma bubbles in Europe affected Global Navigation Satellite Systems measurements over a number of stations in Spain, Portugal, southern France, and Italy and led to performance degradation of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service.
Nutrient transport, modification and fate in a carbonate sand coral reef lagoon

Although nutrients are a fundamental component of living organisms, excessive concentrations of nutrients in marine ecosystems can result in a range of negative consequences. Carbonate sand-dominated islands, like those found throughout the South Pacific, may be particularly susceptible to the nutrient over-enrichment of their surrounding waters due to the high porosity of carbonate sands and the perceived lack of biological activity in the sediments. To contribute to closing the knowledge gap of nutrient dynamics in carbonate sand systems, this thesis examines the movement, biogeochemistry and mitigation of nutrients in a coral sand lagoon system. In order to then determine the flow of nutrient into the surrounding lagoon, the flux of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) was determined using three different but commonly used radon mass-balance models. There was an approximately eight-fold difference in the SGD flux rates calculated by the models. The study highlighted, through the use of time series, survey and electric resistivity techniques, that the applicability of each model is based on the hydrological and geological features of the study area. To determine the contribution of groundwater derived nutrient to the surrounding lagoon, a nutrient mass balance was then constructed. The mass balance accounted for 92% of dissolved nitrogen (N) leaving the lagoon, and for approximately 36% of dissolved phosphorus (P) inputs. SGD accounted for 81% of dissolved inorganic N (DIN) inputs and 47% of DIN exported form the lagoon. Analysis of tritium concentrations showed that old, deep groundwater (10 – 93 years old) was the main source of SGD derived nutrients to the lagoon indicating there may be a large time lag between nutrient infiltration on land and discharge into the receiving waters. A series of long term column experiments showed that the TN removal rate in the wastewater-saturated treatments was approximately six times higher than the unsaturated treatments. The addition of a carbon source and biochar facilitated a drop in both nutrient ii and greenhouse gas concentrations. Sampling of groundwater below an in situ wastewater treatment system showed an almost complete removal of TN and TP within two meters of the aquifer surface, even with limited bioavailable carbon to facilitate denitrification.Modelling of NO3 - and N2 concentrations for an idealized treatment system indicated reduced NO3 - concentrations may be due to a combination of dilution with high volumes of groundwater and denitrification. Lastly, in order to mitigate groundwater nutrient flow into the lagoon, a low cost, low technology wastewater treatment system adapted to the constraints of South Pacific islands was developed and monitored. The system removed 63% of total P and 43% of total N over 17 months of monitoring. The system showed complete attenuation of NH4 + as wastewater moved through the system, and simultaneous nitrification/denitrification in both aerobic and anaerobic zones. Overall, the study endeavoured to not only make a…
Development of numeracy skills: Analysis of students in junior high schools in Ambon City based on teacher's perspective

Numeration is important as it is a fundamental skill, but based on the evaluation of the Programme for International Student Assessment, showed that the student's numeration ability is still low. This study aims to analyze the various problems that occur in the development of numeration skills of high school students. The research was carried out at the Catholic High School in Ambon, with the subject of the research being teachers of mathematics and non-mathematics. This research is qualitative research using methods of narrative inquiry. Data collection techniques include questionnaires, interviews, and recording and documentation. The results of this research indicate that there are a number of issues with developing numeracy skills, one of which is the lack of implementation of classic game-based learning strategies. School facilities are inadequate to encourage increased student numeracy. The implementation of training for teachers to improve teacher numeracy is still rare, so it affects the lack of innovation of teachers in teaching by applying games as well as traditional games to improve numeracy.
Development of an Innovative Lightweight Composite Material with Thermal Insulation Properties Based on Cardoon and Polyurethane

The search for innovative and sustainable solutions to improve the energy efficiency of the construction industry has been a hot topic for researchers due to the tremendous impact of insulator materials in the thermal comfort of buildings. In the present work, an innovative lightweight composite material with thermal insulation properties was developed, for the first time, by using cardoon particles and polyurethane. The formulation of the composite material was optimized in terms of cardoon fraction and the polyol/isocyanate ratio, to achieve the best compromise between internal bond (IB) strength and thickness swelling (TS). The best performing composite was PU75-CP45, with 45 wt% of cardoon particles and 75% of isocyanate, achieving an IB of 0.41 MPa and a TS of 5.3%. Regarding insulation properties, the PU75-CP45 composite material exhibits a promising performance when compared to conventional construction industry materials by tuning its thickness. Additionally, the composite material presented very low emissions of volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde (bellow to legislation levels) and high resistance to biological degradation.
Biostratigraphie des ammonites liasiques des Alpes de Glaris : comparaisons et corrélations avec la région du Ferdenrothorn (Valais)

The study of the ammonites fauna in four outcrops in the Helvetic Alps of Glarus s.l. allows us to complete and refine the local biostratigraphy, elaborated by Trumpy in 1949. Eleven faunal levels or horizons that have been identified are easily correlated with the standard zonation of north-western Europe. Moreover the fossiliferous beds recorded from Hettangian to Pliensbachian are nearly the same in the Glarus Alps s.l. as in the area of Ferdenrothorn (Loeche-les-Bains, Valais). In both areas, the Carixian is characterized by coarsely detrital sedimentation, and the presence in the two «paleogulfs» of only two homeomorphic ammonite genera (Platypleuroceras, especially P. caprarium and Oistoceras) appears to be connected with ecological constraints
Relationship between Physicochemical and Cooking Quality Parameters with Estimated Glycaemic Index of Rice Varieties

Rice is a significant staple food in the basic diet of the global population that is considered to have a high glycaemic index. The study of the physical and chemical parameters in rice that are related to the starch digestion process, which allows us to quickly predict the glycaemic index of varieties, is a major challenge, particularly in the classification and selection process. In this context, and with the goal of establishing a relationship between physicochemical properties and starch digestibility rates, thus shedding light on the connections between quality indicators and their glycaemic impact, we evaluated various commercial rice types based on their basic chemical composition, physicochemical properties, cooking parameters, and the correlations with digestibility rates. The resistant starch, the gelatinization temperature and the retrogradation (setback) emerge as potent predictors of rice starch digestibility and estimated glycaemic index, exhibiting robust correlations of r = −0.90, r = −0.90, and r = −0.70 (p ≤ 0.05), respectively. Among the rice types, Long B and Basmati stand out with the lowest estimated glycaemic index values (68.44 and 68.10), elevated levels of resistant starch, gelatinization temperature, and setback values. Furthermore, the Long B showcases the highest amylose, while the Basmati with intermediate, revealing intriguingly strong grain integrity during cooking, setting it apart from other rice varieties.
