Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in Kidney Transplant Recipients—A Narrative Review

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most prevalent complications in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients. The most frequent finding in this group of patients is asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB). Here, we provide an overview of the available evidence regarding ASB in KTx recipients, including its etiopathology, clinical impact and management. There is a growing body of evidence from clinical trials that screening for and treating ASB is not beneficial in most KTx recipients. However, there are insufficient data to recommend or discourage the use of a “screen-and-treat strategy” for ASB during the first 1–2 months post-transplant or in the case of an indwelling urinary catheter. Despite its frequency, ASB after KTx is still an understudied phenomenon.
Immunohistochemical Markers of Temporomandibular Disorders: A Review of the Literature

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of internal derangements encompassing dysfunction, displacement, degeneration of the temporomandibular joints and surroundings muscles of mastication, often accompanied by pain. Relationships between TMD and various chemical biomarkers have been examined throughout the years. This paper aims to gather evidence from the literature regarding other biomarkers and presenting them as one systematic review to investigate the potential links between TMD and different biochemical activity. To identify relevant papers, a comprehensive literature search was carried out in MEDLINE/PubMED, EMBASE, Web of Science and a manual search was performed in the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, and Journal of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery. The literature review produced extensive results relating to the biochemical and immunohistochemical markers of TMD. Many enzymes, inflammatory markers, proteoglycans, and hormones were identified and organized in tables, along with a brief description, study design, and conclusion of each study. Through this review, recurring evidence provides confidence in suggesting involvement of certain biomarkers that may be involved in this complex pathogenesis, in addition to pointing to differences in gender prevalence of TMD. However, more organized research on large human samples needs to be conducted to delve deeper into the understanding of how this disease develops and progresses.
Risk of Neurotoxicity with Multiple General Anaesthetics for Examination Under Anaesthesia in Paediatric Ophthalmology – A Cause for Concern?

Purpose To evaluate the impact of clinical protocol change via active minimisation on the number of general anaesthetic (GA)/sedation episodes for diagnostic ophthalmic purposes at Children’s Health Ireland at Temple Street (CHI-TS), Dublin, Ireland, from 2016 to 2019, inclusive. Change was implemented following published cautionary principles in 2016 by the FDA regarding the potential neurotoxic risk from multiple GA exposure in children. Methods Retrospective analysis of electronic operating theatre records was completed using procedure codes “Ophthalmological examination” and “Examination of fundi”. Available records for patients undergoing multiple examination under anaesthesia (EUA) procedures were assessed for demographics, indication. Comparison was made regarding overall EUA numbers and breakdown for each year, before and after the new departmental approach. From 2018 onward, a patient-centred, departmental strategy of active minimisation of EUA was adopted, using strategies of “training, technology and patience”. A literature review was conducted using online databases. Results A total of 450 EUAs were performed over the 4 years investigated. In the former 2 years of the study period, prior to departmental policy change, EUAs represented 32% (304 of 948 total theatre episodes) of the ophthalmic theatre caseload. In the latter 2 years of this study period, this proportion fell to 19% (146 EUAs of 783 theatre episodes). Total theatre case numbers were comparable in both time periods. Eighteen children had multiple EUAs (ie, ≥2 EUAs, mean 6.5, SD 2.9) for life/sight threatening indications, totalling 116 EUAs (25.7%). Conclusion A significant reduction in diagnostic EUA volume was accomplished resulting in reduced individual patient risk and increased capacity for surgical interventions. A detailed description of this methodology is included for the purposes of replication at comparable units. EUA will continue to play a crucial role in the management of life/sight threatening conditions but the application of a cautionary principle to reduce EUA, where possible, is appropriate to reduce potential for neurotoxicity.
The Landscape of Secondary Genetic Rearrangements in Pediatric Patients with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with t(12;21)

The most frequent chromosomal rearrangement in childhood B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is translocation t(12;21)(p13;q22). It results in the fusion of the ETV6::RUNX1 gene, which is active in the regulation of multiple crucial cellular pathways. Recent studies hypothesize that many translocations are influenced by RAG-initiated deletions, as well as defects in the RAS and NRAS pathways. According to a “two-hit” model for the molecular pathogenesis of pediatric ETV6::RUNX1-positive B-ALL, the t(12;21) translocation requires leukemia-causing secondary mutations. Patients with ETV6::RUNX1 express up to 60 different aberrations, which highlights the heterogeneity of this B-ALL subtype and is reflected in differences in patient response to treatment and chances of relapse. Most studies of secondary genetic changes have concentrated on deletions of the normal, non-rearranged ETV6 allele. Other predominant structural changes included deletions of chromosomes 6q and 9p, loss of entire chromosomes X, 8, and 13, duplications of chromosome 4q, or trisomy of chromosomes 21 and 16, but the impact of these changes on overall survival remains unclarified. An equally genetically diverse group is the recently identified new B-ALL subtype ETV6::RUNX1-like ALL. In our review, we provide a comprehensive description of recurrent secondary mutations in pediatric B-ALL with t(12;21) to emphasize the value of investigating detailed molecular mechanisms in ETV6::RUNX1-positive B-ALL, both for our understanding of the etiology of the disease and for future clinical advances in patient treatment and management.
Radiative semileptonic ¯ B decays

Measurement of K + K − production in two-photon collisions in the resonant-mass region The Belle Collaboration

KK production in two-photon collisions has been studied using a large data sample of 67 fb accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric ee collider. We have measured the cross section for the process γγ → KK for center-of-mass energies between 1.4 and 2.4 GeV, and found three new resonant structures in the energy region between 1.6 and 2.4 GeV. The angular differential cross sections have also been measured. PACS. 13.20. Gd Two-photon collisions – 13.60. Le Meson production – 14.40. Cs Other mesons with S = C = 0
Adinkra foundation of component decomposition and the scan for superconformal multiplets in 11 D , N = 1 superspace

For the first time in the physics literature, the Lorentz representations of all 2,147,483,648 bosonic degrees of freedom and 2,147,483,648 fermionic degrees of freedom in an unconstrained eleven dimensional scalar superfield are presented. Comparisons of the conceptual bases for this advance in terms of component field, superfield, and adinkra arguments, respectively, are made. These highlight the computational efficiency of the adinkra-based approach over the others. It is noted at level sixteen in the 11D, N = 1 scalar superfield, the {65} representation of SO(1,10), the conformal graviton, is present. Thus, adinkra-based arguments suggest the surprising possibility that the 11D, N = 1 scalar superfield alone might describe a Poincaré supergravity prepotential or semi-prepotential in analogy to one of the off-shell versions of 4D, N = 1 superfield supergravity. We find the 11D, N = 1 scalar superfield contains 1,494 bosonic fields, 1,186 fermionic fields, and a maximum number of 29,334 links connecting them via orbits of the supercharges.
BPS Wilson loop in N = 2 superconformal SU( N ) “orientifold” gauge theory and weak-strong coupling interpolation

: We consider the expectation value h W i of the circular BPS Wilson loop in N = 2 superconformal SU( N ) gauge theory containing a vector multiplet coupled to two hypermultiplets in rank-2 symmetric and antisymmetric representations. This theory admits a regular large N expansion, is planar-equivalent to N = 4 SYM theory and is expected to be dual to a certain orbifold/orientifold projection of AdS 5 × S 5 superstring theory. On the string theory side h W i is represented by the path integral expanded near the same AdS 2 minimal surface as in the maximally supersymmetric case. Following the string theory argument in [5], we suggest that as in the N = 4 SYM case and in the N = 2 SU( N ) × SU( N ) superconformal quiver theory discussed in [19], the coeﬃcient of the leading non-planar 1 /N 2 correction in h W i should have the universal λ 3 / 2 scaling at large ’t Hooft coupling. We conﬁrm this prediction by starting with the localization matrix model representation for h W i . We complement the analytic derivation of the λ 3 / 2 scaling by a numerical high-precision resummation and extrapolation of the weak-coupling expansion using conformal mapping improved Padé analysis.
DNA Base Excision Repair Intermediates Influence Duplex–Quadruplex Equilibrium

Although genomic DNA is predominantly duplex under physiological conditions, particular sequence motifs can favor the formation of alternative secondary structures, including the G-quadruplex. These structures can exist within gene promoters, telomeric DNA, and regions of the genome frequently found altered in human cancers. DNA is also subject to hydrolytic and oxidative damage, and its local structure can influence the type of damage and its magnitude. Although the repair of endogenous DNA damage by the base excision repair (BER) pathway has been extensively studied in duplex DNA, substantially less is known about repair in non-duplex DNA structures. Therefore, we wanted to better understand the effect of DNA damage and repair on quadruplex structure. We first examined the effect of placing pyrimidine damage products uracil, 5-hydroxymethyluracil, the chemotherapy agent 5-fluorouracil, and an abasic site into the loop region of a 22-base telomeric repeat sequence known to form a G-quadruplex. Quadruplex formation was unaffected by these analogs. However, the activity of the BER enzymes were negatively impacted. Uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) and single-strand selective monofunctional uracil DNA glycosylase (SMUG1) were inhibited, and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) activity was completely blocked. Interestingly, when we performed studies placing DNA repair intermediates into the strand opposite the quadruplex, we found that they destabilized the duplex and promoted quadruplex formation. We propose that while duplex is the preferred configuration, there is kinetic conversion between duplex and quadruplex. This is supported by our studies using a quadruplex stabilizing molecule, pyridostatin, that is able to promote quadruplex formation starting from duplex DNA. Our results suggest how DNA damage and repair intermediates can alter duplex-quadruplex equilibrium.
Sequential deconﬁnement in 3d N = 2 gauge theories

: We consider 3 d N = 2 gauge theories with fundamental matter plus a single ﬁeld in a rank- 2 representation. Using iteratively a process of “deconﬁnement” of the rank- 2 ﬁeld, we produce a sequence of Seiberg-dual quiver theories. We detail this process in two examples with zero superpotential: Usp(2 N ) gauge theory with an antisymmetric ﬁeld and U( N ) gauge theory with an adjoint ﬁeld. The fully deconﬁned dual quiver has N nodes, and can be interpreted as an Aharony dual of theories with rank- 2 matter. All chiral ring generators of the original theory are mapped into gauge singlet ﬁelds of the fully deconﬁned quiver dual.
Superconformal duality-invariant models and N = 4 SYM eﬀective action

: We present N = 2 superconformal U (1) duality-invariant models for an Abelian vector multiplet coupled to conformal supergravity. In a Minkowski background, such a nonlinear theory is expected to describe (the planar part of) the low-energy eﬀective action for the N = 4 SU ( N ) super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory on its Coulomb branch where (i) the gauge group SU ( N ) is spontaneously broken to SU ( N − 1) × U (1) ; and (ii) the dynamics is captured by a single N = 2 vector multiplet associated with the U (1) factor of the unbroken group. Additionally, a local U (1) duality-invariant action generating the N = 2 super-Weyl anomaly is proposed. By providing a new derivation of the recently constructed U (1) duality-invariant N = 1 superconformal electrodynamics, we introduce its SL (2 , R ) duality-invariant coupling to the dilaton-axion multiplet.
The Basic Principles for Stable Approximations to Orthogonal Generalized Inverses of Linear Operators in Hilbert Spaces

ABSTRACT This work presents some basic principles concerned with two general settings for stable approximating orthogonal generalized inverses in Hilbert spaces. In these two settings, perfect convergence and perfect uniform convergence are two important concepts for making theoretical or numerical analysis. Our basic principles characterize the two important concepts by some necessary conditions: stability with other compensated conditions. These basic principles include as simple corollaries some well-known results.
A Martian general circulation experiment with large topography

Abstract A three-layer general circulation model, used to simulate the Martian atmosphere, is described and results are presented. The model assumes a dust-free pure C02 atmosphere and allows for a diurnally- varying convective boundary layer. Smoothed Martian topography and albedo variations are incorporated. The simulation described is for the period near southern winter solstice, season of the Viking landings. The zonally-averaged circulation, mass, heat and momentum balances, and properties of stationary and transient waves are described in some detail, and are compared with results of previous simulations of the Martian general circulation, with related features of the Earth's general circulation, and with observed characteristics of the Martian atmosphere. The principal conclusions are the following: 1) The simulated zonally-averaged circulation is not very sensitive to differences between this model and the earlier general circulation model of Leovy and Mintz (1969), and compares reasonably well wi.
Superconducting states of the cylinder with a single vortex in magnetic field according to the Ginzburg-Landau theory

AbstractSelf-consistent solutions of the nonlinear Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equations are investigated numerically for a superconducting (SC) cylinder, placed in an axial magnetic field, with a single vortex on the axis (m=1). Two modes, which show the original state of the cylinder, SC or normal (s0 andn0), are studied. The field increase (FI) and the field decrease (FD) regimes are studied. The critical fields destroying the SC state withm=1 are found in both regimes. It is shown that in a cylinder of radiusR and GL-parameter ϰ, there exist a number of solutions depending only on the radial co-ordinater corresponding to different states such as M,e, d, p,i, n, $$\bar n$$ ,n*, and the state diagram on the plane of the variables (ϰ,R) is described. The critical fields corresponding to intrastate transitions and the onset of hysteresis are obtained. The critical fieldH0(R) dividing the paramagnetic and diamagnetic states of the cylinder withm=1 is determined. The limiting fields of supercooling or superheating of the normal state at which the restoration of the SC state occurs are established. It is shown, that (in both casesm=1,0) there exist two critical parameters, $$\kappa _0 = {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {\sqrt 2 = 0.707}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sqrt 2 = 0.707}}$$ and $$\kappa _0 = 0.93$$ , which divide bulk SC into three groups (with $$\kappa< \kappa _0 ,\kappa _0 \leqslant \kappa \leqslant \kappa _c $$ and $$\kappa > \kappa _c $$ ), in accordance with the behavior in a magnetic field. The parameters $$\kappa _0 $$ and $$\kappa _c $$ mark the boundary for the existence of a supercooled normal $$\bar n$$ -state in FD-regime and a superheated SC M-state in FI-regime respectively. It is shown, that the value $$\kappa _* = 0.417$$ , which was claimed in a number of papers as related to type-I superconductors, is illusory.
ROTATION AND MAGNETIC ACTIVITY IN A SAMPLE OF M-DWARFS

We have analyzed the rotational broadening and chromospheric activity in a sample of 123 M-dwarfs, using spectra taken at the W.M. Keck Observatory as part of the California Planet Search program. We find that only seven of these stars are rotating more rapidly than our detection threshold of v sin i ≈ 2.5 km s−1. Rotation appears to be more common in stars later than M3 than in the M0–M2.5 mass range: we estimate that less than 10% of early-M stars are detectably rotating, whereas roughly a third of those later than M4 show signs of rotation. These findings lend support to the view that rotational braking becomes less effective in fully convective stars. By measuring the equivalent widths of the Ca ii H and K lines for the stars in our sample, and converting these to approximate LCa/Lbol measurements, we also provide constraints on the connection between rotation and magnetic activity. Measurable rotation is a sufficient, but not necessary condition for activity in our sample: all the detectable rotators show strong Ca ii emission, but so too do a small number of non-rotating stars, which we presume may lie at high inclination angles relative to our line of sight. Our data are consistent with a “saturation-type” rotation–activity relationship, with activity roughly independent of rotation above a threshold velocity of less than 6 km s−1. We also find weak evidence for a “gap” in LCa/Lbol between a highly active population of stars, which typically are detected as rotators, and another much less active group.
Analysis of Land Cover Classification Results Using ANN, SVM, and RF Methods with R Programming Language (Case Research: Surabaya, Indonesia)

Remote sensing technology has experienced rapid development, especially in the field of image classification method. Image classification is to detect and identify objects on the earth’s surface using satellite images. Currently, various satellite image classification methods have been developed, one of which is a parameter-based classification method, such as MLC (Maximum Likelihood). However, this method cannot be performed in environments with complex object features (such as in urban areas or densely built areas). This is because the classification method based on the required parameters of the dataset is not normally distributed. Therefore, a non-parametric-based classification method has been developed that is independent of the nature of the data distribution, so that no statistical parameters are needed to separate many classes in the image and are used to analyse satellite images with dense and complex land cover features. Through this research, a comparative analysis of land cover classification was carried out using a non-parametric-based classification method with several Machine Learning approaches such as Artificial Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest for the Surabaya City area using Landsat-8 satellite imagery data, to find and compare their classification performance. Surabay awas chosen as the research area because it has complex land cover characteristics and is quite dense. The composition of the training points used is 80:20, which 80% points as sample points, and 20% as validation points. The land cover classification results in this study were tested for accuracy quantitatively and qualitatively. Based on the result from the accuracy test, the Random Forest method showed the best results with an overall accuracy value of 93.33% and a kappa accuracy of 91.07%.
Investigation of the direct band gaps in Ge1−xSnx alloys with strain control by photoreflectance spectroscopy

Unstrained and compressive-strained Ge1−xSnx alloys were grown on InGaAs buffer layers by molecular beam epitaxy. Photoreflectance at room temperature determines the direct bandgap energies of Ge1−xSnx alloys from the maxima of the light- and heavy-hole bands to the bottom of Γ valley. The lowest transition energies from photoreflectance are consistent with the energies derived from photoluminescence. The calculated bowing parameter is 2.42 ± 0.04 eV for the direct band gap of Ge1−xSnx alloys. The dilational and shear deformation potentials of the direct band gap are −11.04 ± 1.41 eV and −4.07 ± 0.91 eV, respectively. These basic material parameters are important in designing optoelectronic devices based on Ge1−xSnx alloys.
Monitoring of Land Surface Temperature in Surabaya, Indonesia from 2013-2021 Using Landsat-8 Imagery and Google Earth Engine

Surabaya is one of the big cities in Indonesia which experiences population increase every year due to urbanization. Population growth can cause changes in land cover such as vegetation into built-up areas and an increase in energy consumption. Changes in land cover and increased in energy consumption resulted changes in the average temperature of urban areas. This change can disrupt health and thermal comfort. Temperature changes can be analyzed using remote sensing technology by observing land surface temperature (LST). LST observations can be carried out using Landsat-8 OLI/TIRS image. Landsat-8 has ability to record data continuously and has good resolution for thermal analysis. Image data processing was performed using Google Earth Engine (GEE) due to its advantage in computing big data without the need for good computer specifications. GEE can perform time series data calculations so that the results obtained will be more numerous and better The results showed that the temperature in the city of Surabaya tends to change every year with an average temperature of 31°C. The mean LST in Surabaya City decreased significantly in 2016 by 4°C but increased again in 2017 with an increase of 1.5°C. In the following years, the LST value in the city of Surabaya continued to increase with a constant increase every year. There were more than 20 districts which have temperatures above average. Those districts were located in the center of Surabaya city extending from north to south. In the other side, the districts in the west and east of Surabaya have temperatures below average. There were 17districts experienced a decrease in temperature and 14 districts experienced an increase in temperature. Benowo, Tandes, and Pakal districts were the areas that experienced an average temperature increase. Meanwhile, the districts that experienced the highest decrease were Tegalsari, Wonokromo, and Genteng
