Bedload transport in two creeks at the ice-free area of the Baranowski Glacier, King George Island, West Antarctica

: This paper presents a unique case study and methodology for measurements of the bedload transport in the two, newly created troughs at the forefield of the Baranowski Glacier: Fosa and Siod ł o creeks. The weather conditions and the granulometric analysis are presented and discussed briefly. Rating curves for the Fosa and Siod ł o creeks are presented for the first time for this region. Changes of the bedload transport as well as water discharge and water velocity at both creeks are investigated. The hysteresis for the relationships between rate of bedload transport and water discharges were identified showing that for both creeks for the higher water levels a figure of eight loop may be easily recognized. Moreover, a new method for the calculation of bedload transport rate, based on the weighted arithmetic mean instead of the arithmetic mean, is proposed.
Acute Kidney Injury Classifications in the Prediction of In-hospital Mortality and Renal Function Non-recovery

Background: In the last two decades diagnostic criteria for acute kidney injury (AKI) were developed: Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of Kidney Function, End-Stage Kidney Disease (RIFLE), Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN), and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) classifications. Objective: The study aimed to determine the incidence of AKI based on the RIFLE, AKIN, and KDIGO criteria, as well as analyze their predictive value for mortality and renal function outcome. Methods: This was a single-center prospective study of patients diagnosed with AKI. Acute kidney injury was defined and classified according to the RIFLE, AKIN, and KDIGO criteria. The outcomes were renal function outcome and in-hospital mortality. Results: The incidence rates of AKI based on the RIFLE, AKIN, and KDIGO criteria were 13.4%, 14-36%, and 14.64%, respectively. Multiple regression analysis showed that higher stages of AKI according to the KDIGO criteria were independently associated with non-recovery of renal function (p=0.011). However, the predictive ability of RIFLE, AKIN and KDIGO classifications for renal function recovery was poor (Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristics-AUROC=0.599, AUROC=0.637, AUROC=0.659, respectively). According to the RIFLE and AKIN criteria, in-hospital mortality was statistically significantly higher in stage Failure/3 (p=0.0403 and p=0.0329, respectively) compared to stages Risk/1 and Injury/2. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) analysis showed that all three classifications had poor predictive ability for in-hospital mortality (AUROC=0.675, AUROC=0.66, AUROC=0.681). Conclusions: KDIGO classification is an independent predictor of renal function non-recovery. However, by ROC analysis, all three classifications have poor predictive ability for renal function outcome and mortality.
SAGE: A dataset for Smart Adaptive Gamified Education

Gamification design in education is the process of planning gamification strategies aligned with educational needs. However, the literature states that generating those strategies is not trivial, and it requires a lot of effort from gamification designers and educators due to the large number of game elements, especially since some of these elements are defined in confusing or misleading ways, context specificities in the teaching-learning processes, and the interaction between them. Based on this premise, this paper presents the design and data collection of a dataset composed of 1929 items (line entries in the dataset). This dataset was made through a survey data that went through a data filtering process and can be used to support tailored gamified tools or AI-based tools (e.g., recommendation systems) for educational environments, based on students’ profiles and favorite game elements.
Associations between Gross and Fine Motor Skills, Physical Activity, Executive Function, and Academic Achievement: Longitudinal Findings from the UK Millennium Cohort Study

Accumulating evidence from behavioral studies and neuroscience suggests that motor and cognitive development are intrinsically intertwined. To explore the underlying mechanisms of this motor–cognition link, our study examined the longitudinal relationship of early motor skills and physical activity with later cognitive skills. The sample was 3188 children from the United Kingdom Millennium Cohort Study, followed at 9 months and 5, 7, and 11 years. Early motor skills were examined at 9 months. Children’s daily physical activity level was measured using accelerometers at 7 years and a questionnaire was conducted at 11 years. Cognitive skills, including executive function and academic achievement, were measured at age 11. The results suggest that gross motor skills were positively associated with spatial working memory, whereas fine motor skills were predictive of good English and science outcomes. Moderate-to-vigorous activity was found to be negatively associated with English performance, although self-reported activity frequency was positively linked to math. Our results highlight the significant role of both gross and fine motor skills in cognitive development. This study also elucidates the limitations of using activity intensity to assess the impact of motor activity on children’s cognitive development, suggesting that attention to the effects of specific types of physical activity would better elucidate the motor/cognition link.
Effect of fertilizers on the production potential of different crop sequences in arid regions

A field experiment aimed at optimizing fertilizer use in different crop sequences, was conducted during 1991-92 and 1992-93 at Mandor (Jodhpur). Double-crop sequences recorded higher annual productivity and net retum over monocrops. Pearlmillet [Pennisehrm glaucum (L.) R. Br. emend. Stuntz.1-cumin (Cuminurn cyminum L.) was found more remunerative but less sustainable compared with pearlmillet-Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czemj. & Cosson] in view of higher cost and risk involved in cumin cultivation. All the double crop sequences and wheat (Triticum aesiivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) grown after fallow responded to 100% of recommended fertilizer level (RFL). Additional manuring with farmyard manure (FYM) @ 5 tonnesha in 91 beyond 50% of RFL improved yield of double crops for 3 consecutive seasons. Mustard and cumin grown as monocrops required to be fertilized up to 50% of RFL and additional fertilization (organic or inorganic) did not bring about improvement in productivity any further.
CT‑based radiomics analysis of consolidation characteristics in differentiating pulmonary disease of non‑tuberculous mycobacterium from pulmonary tuberculosis

Global incidence rate of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease has been increasing rapidly. In some countries and regions, its incidence rate is higher than that of tuberculosis. It is easily confused with tuberculosis. The topic of this study is to identify two diseases using CT radioomics. The aim in the present study was to investigate the value of CT-based radiomics to analyze consolidation features in differentiation of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). A total of 156 patients (75 with NTM pulmonary disease and 81 with TB) exhibiting consolidation characteristics in Shandong Public Health Clinical Center were retrospectively analyzed. Subsequently, 305 regions of interest of CT consolidation were outlined. Using a random number generated via a computer, 70 and 30% of consolidations were allocated to the training and the validation cohort, respectively. By means of variance threshold, when investigating the effective radiomics features, SelectKBest and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression method were employed for feature selection and combined to calculate the radiomics score. K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM) and logistic regression (LR) were used to analyze effective radiomics features. A total of 18 patients with NTM pulmonary disease and 18 with TB possessing consolidation characteristics in Jinan Infectious Disease Hospital were collected for external validation of the model. A total of three methods was used in the selection of 52 optimal features. For KNN, the area under the curve (AUC; sensitivity, specificity) for the training and validation cohorts were 0.98 (0.93, 0.94) and 0.90 (0.88, 083), respectively; for SVM, AUC was 0.99 (0.96, 0.96) and 0.92 (0.86, 0.85) and for LR, AUC was 0.99 (0.97, 0.97) and 0.89 (0.88, 0.85). In the external validation cohort, AUC values of models were all >0.84 and LR classifier exhibited the most significant precision, recall and F1 score (0.87, 0.94 and 0.88, respectively). LR classifier possessed the best performance in differentiating diseases. Therefore, CT-based radiomics analysis of consolidation features may distinguish NTM pulmonary disease from TB.

Influence of the Bracket Material on the Post-Cure Degree of Conversion of Resin-Based Orthodontic Adhesive Systems

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of the orthodontic bracket material on the short-term and long-term post-cure development of the degree of conversion (DC) of resin-based orthodontic adhesive systems. Five commercially available materials characterized by different compositions and curing modes (light-curable or dual-curable) were tested under three different light curing conditions: without brackets (control group, CO), and in the presence of metal brackets (MB group) or ceramic brackets (CB group). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was used to determine the post-cure DC development, both after “short-term” periods (2, 6, and 10 min) and “long-term” periods (1, 7, and 28 days). The short-term DC values ranged from 43.9% to 76.1%, and the long-term DC values were higher and ranged from 54.3% to 85.3%. The MB group demonstrated significantly lower short-term DC values compared to the CO and the CB groups, while the CB group had statistically similar or slightly lower DC values compared to the CO group. Long-term DC values in the MB and the CB groups were statistically lower or similar compared to the CO group, which depended on the post-cure time. The results indicated that the post-cure DC development was highly material-dependent and affected by the presence of different types of bracket material.
How does street vending contribute to walkability?: A report on a study in Yuncheng, China

In contemporary Chinese cities, street vendors often emerge in a predictable space where numerous people frequently walk or stay. In this sense, the ubiquitous phenomenon of street vending closely relates to the walkability of urban space in the Chinese context. The use of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) analyses a series of immaterial and material actors, which intertwine as a heterogeneous network within complex associations. Based on our previous reviews, this study is the first exploration to implicate the heterogeneous network of street vending as a possible approach to understanding walkable spaces. © 2016.

Monitoring of Ambient VOC’s and PM10 During Construction of NH-22, Bypass (Shoghi –Shimla – Dhalli) in Himachal Pradesh, India

The study was conducted to analyse the impact of highway expansion activity on air quality. The study area was divided into four equal sites based on distances viz. Site 1, Site 2, Site 3 and Site 4. The observation on different air quality parameters at each site were recorded periodically (three times) at an interval of 15 days during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. The VOC’s concentration in the study area lies in between in the range from 2.75 g m-3 to 6.37 g m-3. The highest VOC’s concentration of 6.15 g m-3 was recorded in the pre-monsoon season and lowest of 3.09 g m-3 in the post-monsoon season. The PM10 concentration in the study area ranged from 114.12 g m-3 to 144.17 g m-3. The average highest PM10 concentration of 127.21 g m-3 was observed in the post-monsoon season and lowest of 124.80 g m-3 in the pre-monsoon season. PM10 concentration in all the sites was higher than the permissible limits given by NAAQS.
Study on Eustatic Sea-Level Change Rule in Cambrian-Ordovician in Tarim Basin

The eustatic sea-level change rule has been studied by using element geochemistry feature and seismic geometric configuration feature in the Cambrian-Ordovician in Tarim Basin,and the comparative sea-level change curve has been obtained,which can be divided into three first-grade cycles,eight second-grade cycles,seventeen third-grade cycles and more high frequency concussion cycles in the Cambrian-Ordovician in Tarim Basin.There occurred the second-grade eustatic sea-level change cycle three times during Cambrian and two times during the early Ordovician,and the extent of the sea-level rise in the early Ordovician is higher than that in Cambrian.In the middle-late Ordovician there occurred the second-grade eustatic sea-level change cycle three times,and the first time occurred at low system tract of sea level with small rise extent of the sea-level,but the sea-level rapidly reached the highest water level state in the later two times.The eustatic sea-level change controls on the basin sediment infilling and sequence formation evolution.The cyclicity of the sea-level changes are corresponded with the cyclicity of the basin sedimentation,and are represented by the sedimentary facies evolutions.
Progress in Predicting Ames Test Outcomes from Chemical Structures: An In-Depth Re-Evaluation of Models from the 1st and 2nd Ames/QSAR International Challenge Projects

The Ames/quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) International Challenge Projects, held during 2014–2017 and 2020–2022, evaluated the performance of various predictive models. Despite the significant insights gained, the rules allowing participants to select prediction targets introduced ambiguity in model performance evaluation. This reanalysis identified the highest-performing prediction model, assuming a 100% coverage rate (COV) for all prediction target compounds and an estimated performance variation due to changes in COV. All models from both projects were evaluated using balance accuracy (BA), the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC), the F1 score (F1), and the first principal component (PC1). After normalizing the COV, a correlation analysis with these indicators was conducted, and the evaluation index for all prediction models in terms of the COV was estimated. In total, using 109 models, the model with the highest estimated BA (76.9) at 100% COV was MMI-VOTE1, as reported by Meiji Pharmaceutical University (MPU). The best models for MCC, F1, and PC1 were all MMI-STK1, also reported by MPU. All the models reported by MPU ranked in the top four. MMI-STK1 was estimated to have F1 scores of 59.2, 61.5, and 63.1 at COV levels of 90%, 60%, and 30%, respectively. These findings highlight the current state and potential of the Ames prediction technology.
Mapping unity and diversity in South Asian English lexicogrammar: Verb-complementational preferences across varieties

It has been noted that the study of the interface between lexis and grammar in general and verb-complementational patterns and preferences in particular offers new insights into distinctive and so far largely neglected structures of varieties of English. Based on data from the International Corpus of English and large Web-derived newspaper corpora, we explore the verbs CONVEY, SUBMIT and SUPPLY, which are typically associated with the transfer-caused-motion construction, and their complementation patterns to discuss the unity and diversity found in Indian and Sri Lankan English as two prominent and institutionalized South Asian Englishes. Our findings suggest that the (degree of) homogeneity and heterogeneity across South Asian Englishes is a complex issue and a matter of the level of descriptive granularity. Keywords: transfer-caused-motion (TCM) construction; Sri Lankan English; verb-complementation patterns (of TCM-related verbs); Web-derived newspaper corpus; transitivity trends
Sanguinarine Triggers Apoptosis in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells through Reactive Oxygen Species-Dependent c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase Signaling Pathway.

BACKGROUND The benzophenanthridine Sanguinarine (Sng) is one of the most abundant root alkaloids with a long history of investigation and pharmaceutical applications. The cytotoxicity of Sng against various tumor cells is well-established; however, its antiproliferative and apoptotic potential against the cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) cells remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the anti-cancer potential of Sng against cSCC cells and elucidated the underlying mechanisms relevant to the drug action. METHODS The inhibitory effect of Sng on cSCC cells was evaluated by analyzing cell viability, colony-forming ability and multi-caspase activity. Apoptosis was quantified through Annexin-V/Propidium iodide flow cytometric assay and antagonized by pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD-FMK. Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) dysfunction was analyzed by JC-1 staining, whereas reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was confirmed by pretreatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and fluorogenic probe-based flow cytometric detection. The expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins, apoptotic proteins and MAPK signaling molecules was determined by Western blotting. Involvement of JNK, p38-MAPK and MEK/ERK in ROS-mediated apoptosis was investigated by pretreatment with SP600125 (JNK inhibitor), SB203580 (p38 inhibitor) and U0126 (ERK1/2 inhibitor), respectively. The stemness-targeting potential of Sng was assessed in tumor cell-derived spheroids. RESULTS Treatment with Sng decreased cell viability and colony formation in primary (A431) and metastatic (A388) cSCC cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Sng significantly inhibited cell proliferation by inducing sub-G0/G1 cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in cSCC cells. Sng evoked ROS generation, intracellular glutathione (GSH) depletion, ΔΨm depolarization and the activation of JNK pathway as well as that of caspase-3, -8, -9, and PARP. Antioxidant NAC inhibited ROS production, replenished GSH levels, and abolished apoptosis induced by Sng by downregulating JNK. Pretreatment with z-VAD-FMK inhibited Sng-mediated apoptosis. The pharmacological inhibition of JNK by SP600125 mitigated Sng-induced apoptosis in metastatic cSCC cells. Finally, Sng ablated the stemness of metastatic cSCC cell-derived spheroids. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that Sng exerts a potent cytotoxic effect against cSCC cells that is underscored by a mechanism involving multiple levels of cooperation, including cell-cycle sub-G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis induction through ROS-dependent activation of the JNK signaling pathway. This study provides insight into the potential therapeutic application of Sng targeting cSCC.
