Comparison of the Mesomorphic Behaviour of 1:1 and 1:2 Mixtures of Charged Gay-Berne GB(4.4,20.0,1,1) and Lennard-Jones Particles

We present a Molecular Dynamics study of mixtures of charged Gay-Berne (GB) ellipsoids and spherical Lennard-Jones (LJ) particles as models of ionic liquids and ionic liquid crystals. The GB system is highly anisotropic (GB(4.4,20.0,1,1)) and we observe a rich mesomorphism, with ionic nematic and smectic phases in addition to the isotropic mixed phase and crystalline phases with honeycomb structure. The systems have been investigated by analyzing the orientational and translational order parameters, as well as radial distribution functions. We have directly compared 1:1 mixtures, where the GB and LJ particles have a charge equal in magnitude and opposite in sign, and 1:2 mixtures where the number of LJ particles is twice as large compared to the GB and their charge half in magnitude. The results highlight the role of the long-range isotropic electrostatic interaction compared to the short-range van der Waals anisotropic contribution, and the effect of the stoichiometry on the stability of ionic mesophases.
Learning Power Allocation for Multi-Cell-Multi-User Systems With Heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks

A well-trained deep neural network (DNN) enables real-time resource allocation by learning the relationship between a policy and its impacting parameters. When wireless systems operate in dynamic environments, the DNN has to be re-trained frequently and hence training complexity should be low. A promising approach to deal with this issue is to construct DNNs with prior knowledge. In this paper, we show that the power allocation policy in multi-cell-multi-user systems exhibits a combination of permutation equivariance properties, which can be harnessed by graph neural networks (GNNs). In particular, we construct a heterogeneous graph and resort to heterogeneous GNN for learning the policy, whose outputs are only equivariant to some permutations of vertexes rather than arbitrary permutations as homogeneous GNNs. We prove that the properties of the functions learned by existing heterogeneous GNN for the formulated graph are inconsistent with the properties of the policy. To avoid the performance degradation by embedding wrong priors, we design a parameter sharing scheme for heterogeneous GNN such that the learned relationship satisfies the desired properties. Simulation results show that the sample and computational complexities for training the constructed GNN are much lower than existing DNNs to achieve the same sum rate.
The Difference Diwali Makes: Understanding the Contribution of a Cultural Event to Subjective Well-Being for Ethnic Minority Communities

This research provides a nuanced understanding of the contribution of cultural events to subjective well-being for ethnic minority migrant communities, who often face significant challenges in their new lives. The paper investigates how the intersection of sense of community and subjective well-being function in this context. It focuses on the Hindu celebration of Diwali/Deepavali (the Festival of Lights) in two New Zealand cities. Data from interviews with event attendees and organisers was thematically analysed using the McMillan and Chavis ‘sense of community’ framework, overlaid with a conceptualisation of subjective well-being developed by Davidson and Cotter. The analysis reveals strong evidence of the creation and maintenance of sense of community at multiple levels, from the diasporic Indian subcommunities through to the wider non-Indian macrocommunity. The most significant components are membership, fulfilment of needs and shared emotional connection: they are also the most significant point of intersection with factors contributing to subjective well-being. These cultural events provide event attendees with opportunities to experience and express positive affects such as happiness, joy, pride, pleasure. They also demonstrate influence in that they respect, promote and support the ethnic minority migrant subcommunity and act as a bridge to form a sense of community with the macrocommunity through membership and shared emotional connection. To maximise these wider benefits, we recommend practitioners hold such events regularly, advertise widely, select venues that are readily accessible and non-threatening, and provide informative explanatory content.
Effects of Ecological Water Conveyance Project on the Structure, Species Diversity and Stability of Desert Riparian Forest in the Lower Reaches of Tarim River, Northwest China

Background: The lower reaches of the Tarim River is an arid region of inland China. In this area, vegetation is sparse and the environment is fragile. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the structure and stability of the plant community and ecosystem in the lower reaches of the Tarim River. It is valuable to increase the understanding of ecological protection and restoration in arid areas. Methods: In this study, four sections, Yingsu, Karday, Alakan, and Yiganbjm, were selected as research sites, and 96 arbor and shrub quadrats and 288 herb quadrats were delimited in these sites. The ecological characteristics of all species in the quadrats were investigated. We selected the surveyed data from 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2019. Based on the data, we analyzed the variations in species composition. We also determined Shannon-Wiener indexes, Alatalo indexes, and ecological dominance to discuss the species diversity and uniformity of plant community. Plant community stability were also evaluated. Results: There were 17 species in 2000 and 31 species in 2019. The proportion of arbor and shrub species decreased, while the understory herbaceous species gradually increased; all of the species become balanced. The stability of the plant community gradually increased; however, it remained unstable. Conclusions: In general, water conveyance in an ecosystem plays a positive role in promoting the restoration of vegetation and ecological stability. This study provides a new method for the evaluation of ecological protection and restoration benefits in arid areas. Our findings can be a good reference for similar studies.

PHYTOCHEMICAL PROFILING, ANTIOXIDANT AND CARDIOPROTECTIVE PROPERTIES OF PINOT NOIR CULTIVAR POMACE EXTRACTS

Fresh and fermented pomace extracts from Vitis vinifera L. Pinot noir were investigated. Total phenolic index, condensed tannins, total anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, flavan-3-ol monomers, stilbenes and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenger ability were measured. The effect of seven days pre-treatment on the isoprenaline-induced infarct-like lesion in rats was assessed by monitoring ECG and serum aspartate and alanine transaminase and creatine kinase. Oxidative stress was assessed by measuring serum total oxidative status, total antioxidant response, oxidative stress index, malondialdehyde, total thiols and nitric oxide. The extracts had high phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Both extracts improved ECG changes, cardiac markers and oxidative stress. In conclusions, fresh and fermented Pinot noir pomace extracts were cardio-protective by reducing oxidative stress.
Adsorption of cadmium by live and dead biomass of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been extensively investigated in combination remediation with plants in heavy metal contaminated soil. However, being biosorbent, few studies of live and dead cells of PGPR have been undertaken. Meanwhile, the application of live or dead biomass for the removal of heavy metals continues to be debated. Therefore, this study uses living and non-living biosorbents of Cupriavidus necator GX_5, Sphingomonas sp. GX_15, and Curtobacterium sp. GX_31 to compare their Cd(ii) adsorption capacities by SEM-EDX, FTIR, and adsorption experiments. In the present study, whether the cells were living or dead and whatever the initial Cd(ii) concentration was, removal efficiency and adsorption capacity can be arranged as GX_31 > GX_15 > GX_5 (p < 0.05). However, removal efficiency in live and dead biosorbents was quite different and it greatly affected by the initial Cd(ii) concentrations. The dead cells exhibited a higher adsorption capacity than the live cells of GX_31. Nevertheless, for GX_5 and GX_15, the loading capacity of the non-living biomass was stronger than that of the living biomass at 20 mg L−1 of Cd(ii), but the capacity was similar at 100 mg L−1 of Cd(ii). Minor changes of spectra were found after autoclaving and it seemed that more functional groups of the dead biosorbent were involved in Cd(ii) binding by FTIR analysis, which also illustrated that the hydroxyl, amino, amide, and carboxyl groups played an important role in complexation with Cd(ii). Based on these findings, we concluded that the dead cells were more potent for Cd(ii) remediation, especially for GX_31.
The Decision Not to Resuscitate Order for Terminally Ill Pediatric Patients and Ethics as a Predictor from Undergraduate Students’ Perspective

Background: Nurses and Doctor of Pharmacy (PhrmD) must communicate and properly documented the do not resuscitate orders for terminally ill children and their relatives. They also have to offer excellent care including more family support, assisting the child with terminally ill disease in passing on peacefully, and preventing unnecessary cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This research was aimed to survey attitudes of nursing and pharmD undergraduate students about the “do not resuscitate” order for children with terminally ill diseases.Method: A cross-sectional correlational design was used. More than 400 nursing and pharmD students were recruited in this study. All the participating students were e-mailed information regarding the study, including the web survey link.Results: Approximately, 60% of the nursing and phrmD students would disclose the need for the do not resuscitate order for children with terminally ill diseases. The results showed that there was a significant difference in perception toward do not resuscitate order between nursing and pharmD students. The pharmD students had more positive attitude toward do not resuscitate than the nursing students. Demographic variables were not associated with the perception toward do not resuscitate orders. Conclusion: This study showed that Jordanian nursing and pharmD students are willing to learn more about different aspects of do not resuscitate orders for terminally ill children. Analyzing their responses to many items showed their misconception about do not resuscitate orders for terminally ill children.
Two isomers of a bis(diphenylphosphino)phosphinine, and the synthesis and reactivity of Ru arene / Cp* phosphinophosphinine complexes

The reaction of 4,6-di(tert-butyl)-1,3,2-diazaphosphinine (3) with two equivalents of MeCCPPh2 gave two isomeric products, 2,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3,5-dimethylphosphinine (5) and 2,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3,6-dimethylphosphinine (6), which were successfully separated and their molecular structures determined by X-ray crystallography. Although the 2,6-bis(iminophosphorano)phosphinine 7 was readily synthesised from 5 using mesityl azide, its coordination to late transition metals was not achieved. The reaction of 2-diphenylphosphino-3-methyl-6-trimethylsilylphosphinine (1) with [{Ru(Cl)(μ-Cl)(p-cymene)}2] generated two products: cis-[Ru(Cl)2(1)2] (2) and the dinuclear species [Ru(μ-Cl)3(p-cymene)Ru(Cl)(1)] (8), which was characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The reaction of 1 with [{Ru(Cl)(μ-Cl)(C6Me6)}2]/NH4PF6 led to cleavage of the SiMe3 group and addition of H2O across a PC bond to generate [Ru(C6Me6)(1-OH-2-PPh2-3-MePC5H4)][PF6] (9). The reaction of 1 with [{Ru(Cp*)(μ3-Cl)}4] yielded [Ru(Cp*)(Cl)(1)] (10) which readily reacted with H2O across a PC bond to form [Ru(Cp*)(Cl)(1-OH-2-PPh2-3-Me-6-SiMe3PC5H3)] (11). Neither 9, 10, 11 or cis-[Ru(Cl)2(dppm)2] were effective precatalysts for the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of acetophenone, unlike 2 which in addition was also found to catalyse the TH of benzophenone at 82 °C (0.1 mol% 2 with 0.5 mol% KOtBu in iPrOH), with much lower activity for 2-fluorobenzaldehyde and 4-methylcyclohexanone. 11 was a competent precatalyst for the hydrogen-borrowing upgrading of EtOH/MeOH to isobutanol, albeit in lower yields compared to 2.
Fish Consumption and Multiple Health Outcomes: An Umbrella Review of Meta-Analyses of Observational and Clinical Studies

Scope : To evaluate the current evidence of associations between consumption of fish and diverse health outcomes. Methods and results : Meta-analyses and systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials and observational studies examining asso ciations between fish consumption and human health outcomes were screened. The methodological quality of included meta-analyses and the quality of the evidence were assessed by the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) and the Grading of Rec -ommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tools, respectively. The umbrella review identified 91 meta-analy ses with 66 unique health outcomes, of which 32 outcomes were beneficial, 34 showed non-significant associations and only 1 was harm ful (myeloid leukemia). The methodological quality of the included meta-analyses was mostly high. A total of 17 beneficial associations (all-cause mortality, prostate cancer mortality, Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) mortality, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), glioma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), oral cancer, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), cerebrovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, Macular Degeneration (AMD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease (CD), triglycerides, vitamin D, HDL-cholesterol and multiple Sclerosis (MS)) and 8 no significant associations (colorectal cancer mortality, Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), prostate cancer, renal cancer, ovarian cancer, hypertension, ulcerative colitis (UC) and rheumatoid arthritis) were evaluated as moderate/high quality of evidence. According to dose-response analyses, consumption of fish, especially fatty types, seems generally safe at 1-2 serv Conclusions : Overall, fish consumption often has beneficial or harmless associations with various health outcomes, but only about 34% of the associations were graded as moderate/high qual ity of evidence. Thus, more well conducted study is needed to verify these findings.
Differences of Sexual Function: A Study in Two Menopause Groups

Menopause is a period where the reproductive cycle has stopped in women and is characterized by a permanent menstrual cessation, due to a decrease in the function of reproductive organs such as the ovaries as a sex steroid hormone (estrogen and progesterone) which plays an important role in the reproductive cycle. The decrease in hormones during menopause causes problems in sexual function such as decreased interest in sexual relations due to vaginal lubrication problems, this can be overcome by doing light physical exercise. Light exercise or physical activity when entering menopause is known to have a positive effect on the quality of life of menopause, including on sexual function. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in sexual function between menopausal women who exercise or do physical activity and who do not exercise. This research method is a conceptual study or literature study from previous research relating to exercise and sexual function at menopause. The results of the study showed that menopausal women who routinely exercise or physical activity, their sexual function is better than those that are not, it is known that menopausal women feel very satisfied with their sexual lives and have no problems during intercourse with their partners. Menopausal women have to exercise regularly, besides consuming healthy foods with balanced nutrition, because the more frequent and regular exercise, the sexual life of menoapause women will be much better.
Major obstacles in innovative activities of family-owned SMEs: Evidence from Czechia

DOI: 10.14254/2071789X.2021/14-2/7 ABSTRACT. Innovation is one of the most crucial factors that make SMEs differentiate themselves against their competitors to generate more income, profit, and exports. In this context, this research explores the differences in family-owned SMEs' innovativeness by highlighting the most common obstacles that family-owned SMEs face. In parallel with this purpose, 350 family-owned SMEs in Czechia are examined. The researchers created a selfadministered and internet-mediated questionnaire and sent it to the survey respondents that were intentionally sampled to collect the research data. We used the independent Sample T-test performed in SPSS to analyze the differences between the selected variables. According to the results, this paper confirms the nonexistence of the differences between innovativeness of SMEs. Significant constraints of SMEs regarding innovative actions such as lacking finance and human resources, protection of intellectual properties and educational status of owners/entrepreneurs might be the reasons behind these results. In this regard, implications of policy makers and other institutions to encourage innovative posture of SMEs might be convenient for them to compete with their larger rivals.
A cross-sectional descriptive study of internet addiction among second MBBS students of a medical college in India

Background: Internet addiction disorder is identified as a matter of grave concern likely to cause physical, psychological, and social issues. Hence, this survey was designed to study its degree and impact on second MBBS students of a medical college in India. Aims and Objectives: Objectives were to determine the degree of internet addiction, its effect on personal relationships, academics, psychological and physical health along with commonly accessed applications, and monthly expenditure. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out wherein each participant was provided with a pre-validated questionnaire of which Youngs Internet Addiction Test (IAT) was a part. Results: Of 108 participants, the ratio of males to females was 1:1. According to the IAT score, regular use was noted in 28 students whereas mild and moderate addiction was observed in 53 and 27 students, respectively. Academic performance was most affected (3.71 ± 2.03 vs. 6.53 ± 2.49 vs. 9.15 ± 1.59) while personal relationships were least affected (1.43 ± 1.45 vs. 2.07 ± 1.59 vs. 2.96 ± 2.63) across all grades. Deleterious effect on physical and psychological health was seen with increasing grades of addiction which was statistically significant. Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, and Google were commonly accessed with majority (n = 94) of participants spending
The Emergency Use of the oXiris Device with Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy in COVID-19 Patients with Acute Kidney Injury

Throughout the pandemic, presentations of the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection have varied. Upon entering the body, SARS-CoV-2 causes a rapid release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and endotoxins, leading to multi-organ failure in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. In our case report, we present a 51-year-old male with severe COVID-19 infection in the ICU needing mechanical ventilation. He developed oliguric acute kidney injury (AKI) with acute respiratory distress syndrome and fluid overload >20% and was started on high flow continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration with oXiris filter via Prismaflex® (HF-CVVHDF). The patient received oXiris filter-based HF-CVVHDF for 72 hours and was switched to conventional CVVHDF. The patient gradually recovered with supportive care and was discharged. Through this case, we wish to highlight the significance of the use of an extracorporeal blood purification technology in COVID-19 with an oXiris filter to prevent morbidity and mortality among severe COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU with AKI.
A Linear Wideband CMOS Balun-LNA With Balanced Loads

This brief presents a novel structure on balun-LNAs which has a differential output with symmetric loads without any need for current bleeding circuit. The proposed structure is based on the common-gate (CG) common-source (CS) cascode LNA with identical transconductances for the CG and CS stages using a positive feedback for input matching compensation. This brief also introduces a new linearity improvement technique based on post distortion and derivative superposition linearization techniques without affecting the input impedance matching condition or requiring considerable power overhead. By this way, despite other linearity improvement techniques, the voltage gain not only is not decreased but is also improved. The proposed balun-LNA structure is designed in a 65 nm CMOS technology and covers the frequency range of 0.47-3.3 GHz. It has symmetrical loads with the maximum S21 of 22 dB and a minimum noise figure (NF) of 2.57 dB. The achieved third-order input intercept point (IIP3) and second-order input intercept point (IIP2) are +2.81 dBm and 29.27 dBm, respectively. The circuit consumes 8.33 mA from a nominal supply voltage of 1.5 V, and excluding the pads, it occupies 0.057 mm2 silicon die area.
