Ketamine for the multivariate effect of PTSD: Systematic review and meta-analysis

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the efficacy, anti-effect of ketamine (intervention) for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients during analgesia proceeding and mental illness treatment methods, in comparison with control (midazolam, opioid, saline or placebo). The bibliographic databases Cochrane, Embase, Pubmed and Web of Science were searched from inception to 23 May 2021 for randomized controlled trials, case-control and cohort studies included. For continuous and dichotomous outcomes, respectively, we calculated the mean difference using the inverse-variance method and the risk ratio with the Mantel-Haenszel method. In all, ten trials with 705 patients were included. Confirmed by meta-analysis, ketamine didn't increase the prevalence of PTSD by a risk ratio (95 % CI) of 0.86 (0.61 to 1.20), p = 0.38 in 3 trials with 503 patients. Evidence of a difference was found in the PTSD-scales taken between ketamine and control during short durations (months), with a mean difference (95 % CI) of 2.45 (1.33 to 3.58), p < 0.001 in three trials with 65 patients. Another evidence is shown in chronic PTSD (years), with a mean difference (95 % CI) of -3.66 (-7.05 to -0.27), p = 0.03 in three trials with 91 patients. Sub-group analysis underlined the increased benefit of ketamine administration for those in whom the procedure was more than one week in the chronic PTSD group. The adoption of ketamine for the short duration of PTSD is in avoidance, but for chronic PTSD is recommended and, in the opinion of the authors, should be considered as a new therapy in view of its potential to ameliorate arousal, avoidance and dissociative symptoms, neuroticism after trauma needing more animal research and clinical trials.
Geographic variation in trophic ecology of the Brown anole (Anolis sagrei): species-rich communities are composed of more diverse populations

Here we analyze a large dataset of the diet of the brown anole (Anolis sagrei). We asked how the trophic niche varies among populations with the specific goal of testing a long-standing model of adaptive diversification – ecological release. Our results do not support the predicted inverse relationship between community richness and niche breadth. Instead, we find that population niche breadth increases with increasing community richness. Using a subset of data for which we have individual-level data we also find that variation in niche structure along this community richness gradient is driven by increasing variation within and among individuals. Our results show that a widely cited dynamic underpinning ecological models of adaptive diversification – ecological release – does not appear to explain interpopulation niche variation in A. sagrei. While we do not have data sufficient to explain this incongruence between theory and observation, we briefly discuss some ideas worth exploring. Ultimately, we hope our findings stimulate new ideas and further evaluation of the relationship between community richness, competition, and the origins of intrapopulation diversity.
DO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES EXPLAIN EARNINGS MANAGEMENT?

The purpose of this study is to examine whether earnings management is influenced by executive compensation, concentrated/family ownership, or board structure in an emerging market. The study used an unbalanced panel data from non-financial firms listed at Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) and employed multiple regression with robust econometric estimation procedures. The study found that CEO compensation does not influence earnings management. Ownership concentration leads to higher earnings management while CEO duality reduces earnings management. In addition, family and concentrated ownership is mainly related to the downward earnings management. Furthermore, the study found that the larger boards lead to higher earnings management while the number of non-executive directors has no impact on earnings management. The study extended the limited research on the relationships between executive compensation, corporate governance and earnings management in Asian context. This study reported an emerging market where stockbased compensation does not exist, and CEOs do not engage in earnings management to increase their compensation. Furthermore, this study posed some challenges to existing studies by showing that ownership concentration, board size and CEO duality do have influences on earnings management in Pakistan.
Challenge and Hindrance IS Use Stressors and Appraisals: Explaining Contrarian Associations in Post-Acceptance IS Use BehaviorChallenge and Hindrance IS Use Stressors and Appraisals: Explaining Contrarian Associations in Post-Acceptance IS Use Behavior

Post-acceptance IS use is the key to leveraging value from IS investments. However, it also poses many demands on the user. Drawing on the challenge-hindrance stressor framework, this study develops a theory to explain how and why IS use stressors influence post-acceptance use. We identify two different types of IS use stressors: challenge IS use stressors and hindrance IS use stressors. We hypothesize that they are appraised through challenge IS use appraisal and hindrance IS use appraisal, respectively, through which they influence routine use and innovative use. We evaluate our hypotheses by surveying 178 users working in one organization and analyze the data collected using consistent partial least square (PLSc). We find that challenge IS use stressors positively influence routine use and innovative use via challenge IS use appraisal. Hindrance IS use stressors negatively influence routine use via hindrance IS use appraisal. We then dive deeper into these findings using a two-step fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), identifying the presence of challenge IS use stressors and challenge IS use appraisal as necessary conditions for high innovative use. We also reveal that the presence of hindrance IS use stressors and hindrance IS use appraisal only influences routine use and innovative use in the absence of challenge IS use stressors and challenge IS use appraisal. We discuss the practical relevance and transferability of our findings based on a comprehensive applicability check. Our findings advance IS scholarship of IS use stress and post-acceptance use by showing how routine use and innovative use emanate from IS use stressors.
Functional assessment of arthroscopic anatomical single bundle ACL reconstruction

ACL is important for maintenance of knee movement. ACL do not heal itself because of its intrinsically poor healing potential and surgery required. Autografts like quadriceps, hamstrings, patellar tendon and allografts of achilles, tibialis anterior and Hamstrings tendon are used. Anatomic placement of ACL tunnels in its native footprint to better restore knee kinematics conventional transtibial reconstruction or its modifications were compared with the anatomic single bundle ACL reconstruction. Reconstruction with single bundle bone-tendon-bone autograft with interference screw fixation. Methods: Study includes 100 patients undergoing arthroscopic Single Bundle ACL Reconstruction, Age between 18 to 40 yrs. Demographic, Clinical, radiological data used for functional assessment of arthroscopic anatomical single bundle ACL reconstruction. Results: Comparable distribution of age between groups based on tear grades which suggests that age is unrelated to tear grades (all p values>0.05). Average preoperative Lysholm knee Score was 75.4± 8.2. Average Lysholm knee Score Before Surgery in grade II tear patient group (78.3 ±8.4) was significantly higher than grade III tear patient group (74.12 ±9.1) (p=0.03) After 3 months of surgery, Lysholm knee score was good (84-90) in majority (62%) of the patients. It was found excellent (91-100) in 24% of the cases. After 3 months of surgery Lysholm knee score was fair (65-83) among 6% patients and was unsatisfactory i.e. (<64) in 8% patients. Average duration of hospital stay was 3.42± 1.02. Average duration of hospital stay in grade II tear patient group was 3.39± 1.was slightly lesser than grade III tear patient group (3.43 ±1.01). However the difference of mean was nonsignificant (p=0.856). Conclusion: Adequate graft with appropriate thickness is a prerequisite for the success of surgery. Timing of surgery, precision in technique and adequate rehabilitation are the variables which strongly influence the outcome of surgery. Grade of injury does not affect the outcomes.

Now a days, for the purpose of screening liver cancer and its treatment, thecomputed tomography (CT) imaging is highly used methodology. for liver cancer screening and treatment purposes. From the information gained in CT image the segmentation of liver found essential for the purpose of medical diagnosis, medication, computer aided recognition. In this context, an overview on liver segmentation techniques that are utilizing CT images, new strategies introduced in related works which are seen with further discussion about the pros and cons in the execution of such methodologies. The assumption made that despite the fact that there is still opportunity to get better, segmenting the liver with automation segmentation techniques gotten similar with manualprocess of segmentation involved. Nevertheless, execution for the tumor of liver dissection techniques viewed as minimal range for the anticipated obtained across both the techniques of automatic as well as semi-automaticprocedures. Besides, the entire process tends for capture by the computer aidedrecognition/diagnosis procedures that dissection the liver manually for requirement, restricting clinical pertinence of these frameworks. Segmentation of liveris as yet concerned of issue at open loop system with certain different shortcomings coupled with downsides with these strategies can in any case be tended to enhance particularly in segmenting the tumor in conjunction topc aided recognition/analysisstructures.
International Outcomes of COVID-19 During Pregnancy and a Literature Review on Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes

Since the first report of COVID-19 in December 2019, our knowledge and treatment modalities have evolved at great pace understanding its impact on the maternal and neonatal outcomes. Whilst pregnant patients are not more susceptible to acquiring the infection as compared to the general population, they may be at higher risk of developing severe symptoms given the physiological changes, relative immune-compromised state of pregnancy, and their neonates at risk of consequent iatrogenic preterm deliveries. Our review article discusses outcomes of pregnant women and neonates with COVID-19 from several countries including the UK, USA, France, Italy and China and provides a narrative review of literature from November 2019 till December 2020.
Zoom Sessions in Distant Learning: Algerian EFL Students’ Perceptions and Attitudes

During the COVID-19 pandemic, when classroom instructions are interrupted, teachers and students approach digitalization and become familiar with web conferencing. The present research aims to examine Algerian EFL students’ motivation about the use of Zoom, as an asynchronous learning approach, to help ‘bridge the gaps’, and cope with the changes they encounter while exploring online learning. As such, the main questions that set the study are: How academically appropriate is the Zoom’s integration for enhancing EFL students’ motivation? How can the perceived obstacles be challenged for the proper integration of Zoom? To answer these problematic questions, the researcher conducted a case study with twenty EFL students at Oran university of Algeria. Informal, structured interviews and semi-structured questionnaires were employed. This study concluded that participant students have overall positive perspectives about using Zoom sessions with some limitations. Training students to use ICTs and developing positive perceptions about using online educational platforms and applications were the main recommendations for using zoom classes.
The Effect of Dividend Payout Ratio, Leverage and Assets Growth on Stock Price Volatility (Empirical Study on LQ45 Company on the Indonesia Stock Exchange 2016-2019)

The stock price on the LQ45 index is influenced by a variety of factors that will fluctuate and can change at any time. The statistical measure of the fluctuation in stock prices during a certain period is called the volatility of the stock price. With the volatility, investors have the potential to gain in stock transactions. However, high volatility can also increase the risk for investors. Stock price volatility is caused by new information that can change investors' opinions and decisions. Information that can affect stock price volatility can be in the form of dividend payout ratio, leverage and asset growth. The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of the dividend payout ratio, leverage, and asset growth on share price volatility. This research was conducted on companies that are included in the LQ45 index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2016-2019 period. The sample was determined by using purposive sampling technique. The samples obtained were 19 companies. The data collection method uses the documentation method. This study uses data analysis techniques with multiple linear regression analysis. The results of data analysis in this study indicate that the dividend payout ratio and asset growth have a negative effect on stock price volatility, while leverage has a positive effect on stock price volatility.
Buddhist Pilgrimage and the Ritual Ecology of Sacred Sites in the Indo-Gangetic Region

In contemporary India and Nepal, Buddhist pilgrimage spaces constitute a ritual ecology. Not only is pilgrimage a form of ritual practice that is central to placemaking and the construction of a Buddhist sacred geography, but the actions of religious adherents at sacred centers also involve a rich and diverse set of ritual observances and performances. Drawing on ethnographic research, this paper examines how the material and corporeal aspects of Buddhist ritual contribute to the distinctive religious sense of place that reinforce the memory of the Buddha’s life and the historical ties to the Indian subcontinent. It is found that at most Buddhist sites, pilgrim groups mostly travel with their own monks, nuns, and guides from their respective countries who facilitate devotion and reside in the monasteries and guest houses affiliated with their national community. Despite the differences across national, cultural–linguistic, and sectarian lines, the ritual practices associated with pilgrimage speak to certain patterns of religious motivation and behavior that contribute to a sense of shared identity that plays an important role in how Buddhists imagine themselves as part of a translocal religion in a globalizing age.
Knowledge Tracing Models’ Predictive Performance when a Student Starts a Skill

Previous studies on the accuracy of knowledge tracing models have typically considered the performance of all student actions. However, this practice ignores the difference between students’ initial and later attempts on the same skill. To be effective for uses such as mastery learning, a knowledge tracing model should be able to infer student knowledge and performance on a skill after the student has practiced that skill a few times. However, a model’s initial performance prediction – on the first attempt at a new skill – has a different meaning. It indicates how successful a model is at inferring student performance on a skill from both their performance on other skills and from the difficulty and other properties of the first item the student encounters. As such, it may be relevant to differentiate prediction in these two contexts when evaluating a knowledge tracing model. In this paper, we describe model performance at a more granular level and examine the consistency of model performance across the number of student instances on a given skill. Results from our research show that much of the difference in performance between classic algorithms such as BKT (Bayesian Knowledge Tracing) and PFA (Performance Factors Analysis), as compared to a modern algorithm such as DKVMN (Dynamic Key-Value Memory Networks), comes down to the first attempts of a skill. Model performance is much more comparable by the time the student reaches their third attempt at a skill. Thus, while there are many benefits to using contemporary knowledge tracing algorithms, they may not be as different as previously thought in terms of mastery learning.
Interactive Toy to Strengthen the Memory, Attention and Logic of Primary Education Students Using Sphero, Arduino and Neurosky Mindwave EEG

Due to the importance of primary education to acquire basic knowledge, it is necessary to use technological tools that allow students to provide their knowledge through educational games and that allows generating the necessary feedback to know the level they are. Using interactive toys implies developing basic skills in learning, necessary for the integral development of students. The present investigation develops an interactive toy that measures the attention, memory and logic of primary level students; Through the Sphero and the Neurosky MindWave, the speed will depend on the attention that the user has, instead the logic and memory measurement is developed with the help of a 6X4 track, the control panel and a mobile application showing the logic and memory questions. The results show that 5th and 6th-grade students of both genders have fun learning and take interest in interactive toy, strengthening logic, memory and attention through the use of technological equipment.

Phytochemical Screening and In Vivo Hepatoprotective Activity of the Cordia Myxa L Fruit Extracts Against Paracetamol- Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats

This study aimed to test several Cordia myxa fruit extracts to study their protective activity in vivo after inducing hepatic injury due to oxidative stress caused by paracetamol at a concentration of 500 mg/kg. The phenolic compounds were extracted from the fruits of the Cordia myxa fruit using five solvents to obtain the extracts of crude methanolic root extract (CME), hexane (HxE), chloroform (ChE), ethyl acetate (EAE), and aqueous extract (AE). The results showed that the extracts contain different types of active compounds, including phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and glycosides. The amounts of phenols and flavonoids were estimated in these extracts and were found that the alcoholic extract contains the highest amount of total phenols 24.86 ± 0.93 mg / g Gallic acid equivalent (GAE) from the extract weight. However, the flavonoids were 2.76 ± 0.10 mg / g Rutin equivalent of the alcoholic extract weight, followed by the rest of the extracts. Further, the methanolic extract and the aqueous extract of Cordia myxa fruits at a concentration of 0.22 ± 0.01 mg/ml showed activity in free radical scavenging DPPH by 50%. The total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was 0.9 ± 23.65 mg / g of the alcoholic extract. The aqueous and alcoholic extract was selected for giving a forced oral administration for the experimental animals concurrently with paracetamol. It was observed that there was an increase in the level of liver enzymes ALP, AST, ALT in the serum of male rats, as well as in the level of malondialdehyde MDA and a decrease in the level of catalase activity in the group dosed with paracetamol at a concentration of 500 mg/kg compared to the negative control group. The daily dosing of paracetamol combined with the alcoholic and aqueous extracts enabled to reduce the level of serum ALP, AST, and ALT liver enzymes, as well as a decrease in the level of MDA and an increase in the level of catalase enzyme activity, especially the group dosed with alcoholic extract at a concentration of 300 mg/kg close to the level of the normal negative control group. These results were supported by a histopathological study which showed that the hepatocytes retained their features and the infiltration and central necrosis were reduced after treatment with the alcoholic and aqueous extracts, especially at the concentration of 200 and 300 mg/kg body weight of the alcoholic extract compared to the tissue treated with the aqueous extract at the same concentration.
Multimodal Sentiment Analysis of Nursery Rhymes for Behavior Improvement of Children

Introvert children have behavioral issues such as self-centric, poor communication, low confidence, less participation and physically weak, whereas hyperactive children have issues related to non-obedient, aggression, lack of patience, lower concentration levels, and disturbance to others. There is a need to do some remedial measures to improve the behavior of children for their better future. Music interactions with the specific sentiment, i.e. positive sentiments for introvert and negative sentiments for hyperactive children are a proposed approach used. Multimodal analysis of 50 nursery rhymes using cognitive music models with analysis of lyrics and acoustic parameters was performed to select rhymes in specific categories. Specific sets of rhymes were repeatedly played and the behavior was observed and noted for specific predefined parameters by teachers and parents. The improvement noticed in the initial 3 months with about 10 musical sessions per month was in the range of 20 to 40 %. This is probably the first kind of study to use multimodal music sentiment analysis for the behavioral improvement of kids with hyperactive and introvert characteristics. The study also provides effective use of selected acoustic and text features with a normalization approach for sentiment analysis.
