Why Do We See a Classical World

From a general abstract system theoretical perspective, a quantum-like system description in the spirit of a generalized Quantum Theory may appear to be simpler and more natural than a classically inspired description. We investigate the reasons why we nevertheless conceive ourselves embedded into a classically structured world. Categorial, physical and pragmatic reasons are proposed as explanations.
Complications Post Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-analysis and Systematic Review

Background: People with diabetes mellitus (DM) have higher long-term mortality following abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair than those without DM. However, whether this adverse outcome is directly related to their aneurysm is unclear. Aims: To determine the rates of complications in people with and without DM post endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Primary outcome data include AAA sac enlargement, reinterventions, endoleaks, post-operative AAA rupture and conversion to open surgical repair. Methods: PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched for primary research studies between 2005 and 2023 according to PRISMA guidelines. Those undergoing AAA repair via endovascular aneurysm repair were included. Results: Thirty-five studies were identified totalling 90,347 people in the control group, and 17,660 in the DM group. Those with DM had a lower rate of reintervention compared to controls (9.94% v 11.58%; OR 0.89, 95% CI [0.82-0.97]; P=0.005), however there was no significant difference in the rate of overall, type I or type II endoleaks (P=0.22, P=0.29, P=0.15 respectively). People with DM were also less likely to have sac enlargement post AAA repair (9.66% v 11.27%; OR 0.79, 95% CI [0.68-0.93]; P=0.003). Additionally, people with DM had a significantly reduced rate of conversion to open surgery (2.11 % DM v 3.12% control; OR 0.80, CI [0.66-0.97]: P=0.02). Conclusion: Reinterventions, sac enlargement post AAA repair, and conversion to open surgical repair were significantly lower in people with DM, however the cause for these differences remains unclear.
Use of fermented Chinese medicine residues as a feed additive and effects on growth performance, meat quality, and intestinal health of broilers

Introduction The purpose of this research was to investigate how dietary supplementation with fermented herbal residues (FCMR) affected birds' development capacity, quality of meat, gut barrier, and cecum microbiota. Methods 540 cyan-shank partridge birds aged 47 days were chosen and divided into two groups of six replicates each and 45 birds for each replicate. The control group (CON) received a basal diet, while the trial group decreased a basic diet containing 5% FCMR. Results and discussion The findings revealed that the addition of FCMR decreased FCR and increased ADG in broilers (P < 0.05). Adding FCMR increased steaming loss in broiler chicken breasts (p < 0.05). Supplementation with FCMR significantly enhanced VH/CD and VH in the bird's intestine (jejunum, duodenum, and ileum) (p < 0.05). In addition, the addition of FCMR significantly down-regulated mRNA expression of INF-γ, IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α and up-regulated mRNA expression of ZO-1, Occludin, and Claudin (P < 0.05). Microbial 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing study revealed that supplements with FCMR modified the cecum microbiota, and α-diversity analysis showed that supplementation with FCMR reduced the cecum bacterial abundance in broilers (P < 0.05). At the phylum level, the relative abundance of Spirochaetota increased considerably following FCMR supplementation (P < 0.05). The broiler cecum's close lot of Prevotellaceae_UCG-001 (P < 0.05), Desulfovibrio, Muribaculaceae, and Fusobacterium (p < 0.05) reduced when FCMR was supplemented. Supplementation with FCMR can promote growth capacity and maintain intestinal health in birds by enhancing gut barrier function and modulating the inflammatory response and microbial composition.
Determinants of parental seasonal influenza vaccine hesitancy in the Eastern Mediterranean region: A cross-sectional study

Background Seasonal influenza vaccine can reduce the risk of influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths among children. Given that parents are the primary decision makers, this study examined the parental attitude toward childhood influenza vaccine and identified determinants of vaccine hesitancy (VH) in the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using an anonymous online survey in 14 EMR countries. Parents of children aged 6 months to 18 years were included. The Parent Attitude about Childhood Vaccines (PACV) was used to assess VH. Chi square test and independent t-test were used to test for association of qualitative and quantitative variables, respectively. A structural equations model (SEM) was used to identify direct and indirect determinants of parental VH. Results Almost half of the parents were hesitant about vaccinating their children against influenza (50.8%). Parental VH was significantly higher among older mothers (37.06 ± 8.8 years, p = 0.006), rural residents (53.6%, p < 0.001), high-income countries residents (50.6%, p < 0.001), and mothers with higher educational levels (52.1%, p < 0.001). Parents of school-aged children (5–9 years) (55.6%, p < 0.001), children free from any comorbidities (52.5%, p < 0.001), children who did not receive routine vaccination at all (51.5%, p = 0.03), children who were not vaccinated against COVID-19 (54.3%, p < 0.001), in addition to parents who were not vaccinated against influenza (57.1%, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with increased likelihood of VH. Parents who were depending on healthcare provider as a source of information regarding vaccines were less likely to report VH (47.9%, p < 0.001), meanwhile those who used social media as their source of health information showed a significantly higher VH (57.2%, p < 0.001). The SEM suggested that mother’s age, residence, country income level, child gender, total number of children and source of information regarding vaccines had a direct effect on VH. Meanwhile, parents vaccinated against influenza, children completely or partially vaccinated with routine vaccines and children vaccinated against Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had an indirect effect on VH. Conclusion A high proportion of included parents were hesitant to vaccinate their children against seasonal influenza. This attitude is due to many modifiable and non-modifiable factors that can be targeted to improve vaccination coverage.
Determinants of non-completion of sleep apnea testing during pregnancy

Study objectives Completion of testing during pregnancy for those who screen positive for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is imperative for the diagnosis and treatment of OSA, as the latter may reduce the risk of developing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. To identify potential barriers, we assessed predictors of non-completion of sleep apnea testing by people identified to be at high risk of OSA by screening during pregnancy. We hypothesized that non-completion of sleep apnea testing would be predicted by insurance status and obstetric factors, such as gestational age at time of testing. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of the first 500 people in our sleep pregnancy database which includes both pregnant and preconception patients who screened positive for OSA; those screened preconception were excluded. Multivariable Poisson regression was used to determine which factors were independently associated with non-completion. Results Of 445 referred, 214 (48.1%) completed sleep apnea testing. Factors associated with non-completion of testing on univariate analysis included referral in the third trimester, higher parity, one or more living children, history of preterm birth, history of preeclampsia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-partnered status, race, and payor. Symptoms of loud snoring or witnessed apneas were associated with increased incidence of sleep apnea testing completion. Multivariable Poisson regression demonstrated that having public insurance predicted non-completion of sleep apnea testing during pregnancy. Conclusion In this small study, public insurance was an independent predictor of non-completion of sleep apnea testing during pregnancy. These findings aid efforts to improve patient completion of sleep apnea testing during pregnancy.
The evolving paradigm of the subauroral geospace

An assessment of the status quo of fast subauroral flows—subauroral ion drifts (SAID) and subauroral polarization streams (SAPS), is presented. For a few decades, their development has been interpreted in terms of the voltage and current magnetospheric generators based largely on the drift motion of test particles. Recent multispacecraft observations revealed serious flaws in the generator paradigm and called for a new generation mechanism of fast-time subauroral flows and ring current (RC) injections. A novel model includes them in the overarching problem of the penetration of magnetotail plasma flow bursts (MPFs) into the plasmasphere and the substorm current wedge (SCW) development. SAID are created near the plasmapause, where inbound MPFs are short-circuited by the cold plasma. This stops the MPF’s electrons and forms the “dispersionless” plasma sheet (PS) boundary. The SAID electric field—the inherent part of the short-circuiting loop—stops the inward-moving MPF’s ions. In turn, SAPS are an integral part of the two-loop SCW system, or SCW2L, where the downward (R2) current emerges in response to the upward (R1) current in the SCW’s “head. ” The meridional Pedersen current, which connects the R1 and R2 currents, leads to SAPS that ultimately drive the fast-time RC injections on the duskside.
Correlation of fundamental movement skills with health-related fitness elements in children and adolescents: A systematic review

Objective To examine the correlations between fundamental movement skills and health-related fitness elements (cardiopulmonary function, flexibility, body composition, muscle strength and endurance) in children and adolescents and investigate the evaluation methods and tools of fundamental movement skills and health-related fitness. Methods Six electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, EBSCO and CNKI) were searched, and the research literature on the correlation between children's and adolescents' fundamental movement skills and health-related fitness published since 2002 was collected. The guidelines of the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement and the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement were used to evaluate the quality of the literature, and the sources, samples, measurement methods, main results and statistical data of the study were analyzed, summarized and discussed. Results After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 49 studies were included. There were 13 tools for evaluating fundamental movement skills and 4 tools for evaluating comprehensive health-related fitness in the included literature. Sufficient research evidence supports a significant positive correlation between fundamental movement skills and cardiopulmonary function (10, 100%) and muscle strength and endurance (12, 100%), and most studies support the positive correlation between fundamental movement skills and flexibility (4, 66.7%), and the significant negative correlation between fundamental movement skills and body composition (29, 67.4%). Studies used skinfold, AF%, BF%, FM, and FFMI as evaluation methods. They showed a consistently significant negative correlation between body composition and fundamental movement skills (9, 100%), while BMI or waist circumference as evaluation methods showed no consistent significant negative correlation result (20, 58.8%). Moreover, in the sub-item evaluation of fundamental movement skills, object manipulation, locomotor and balance skills were all significantly and positively correlated with cardiopulmonary function and muscle strength and endurance. In contrast, locomotor skills were more closely related to body composition than object manipulation skills. Conclusion A significant correlation exists between children's and adolescents' fundamental movement skills and health-related fitness elements.
Yield response of accessions of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L) Verdc) inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains

Field experiments were conducted in two different agroecological locations of Ibadan and Ikenne in Nigeria from August through December during the 2019 and 2020 cropping seasons. The studies were set up to reduce reliance on inorganic nitrogen fertilizer and to embrace the use of nitrogen-fixing bacteria to improve legume production to increase farmers' output and profitability. Ten accessions of the Bambara groundnut (BGN) were used in the trials. Seeds of each BGN accession were coated with each of the following Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains (B. japonicum): FA3, RACA6, USDA110, and IRJ2180A before planting. Furthermore, Nitrogen (N) fertilizer (20 kg/ha, urea) was applied to seedlings without inoculation, and uninoculated seedlings (without inoculation and without fertilization) served as control. The experiment was, therefore, a factorial arrangement (10 BGN accessions, 4 B. japonicum strains, N fertilizer application, and an uninoculated control). The yield and yield components of the inoculated BGN accessions were significantly enhanced at both agroecological locations and seasons. Among the B. japonicum strains used for inoculation, RACA6 strains significantly enhanced the yield and yield component of TVSu-1698 than other inoculated BGN accessions with a mean value of 6,234 ± 87 kg ha−1 recorded in both locations and seasons, compared to the result obtained in the combination of TVSu-1698 with N fertilizer with a mean value of 3,264 ± 943 kg ha−1. By using TVSu-1698 with RACA6 strain, farmers can get 85% more yield than on average with other genotypes/strains combination, while an average yield of 60% could be obtained by farmers using N fertilizer application.
EU and crisis management: Afghanistan and Ukraine on social media

The European Union (EU) is a very relevant actor in the political scene. The EU's external action is inspired by the principles of peace and rule of law. However, the EU is composed of different institutions and leaders, making it difficult to find a single voice. This promotes a feeling of remoteness that threatens the legitimacy of the EU political system. In recent years, the EU has faced many internal challenges, such as the refugee crisis and Brexit, but recent events in Afghanistan and Ukraine reveal the need to further our understanding of the role of the EU as an international actor. Bearing these trends in mind, this research aimed to explore the management of crisis communication by the EU leaders regarding the two most recent international events: Afghanistan in 2021 and Ukraine in 2022. Specifically, we analyze the profiles of Ursula von der Leyen (@vonderleyen), Josep Borrell (@JosepBorrellF), and Charles Michel (@eucopresident). Content analysis is manually performed on 479 tweets on military conflicts over a general sample of 661 messages. The strategies and specific topics are studied based on a pretest. In addition, we calculate the impact rate of the tweets. In this sense, the data were captured for a 2-month period (15 August to 15 September 2021 and 24 February to 24 March 2022). As a result, we show the predominance of messages on Ukraine together with a significantly different action of von der Leyen in terms of strategies and employment of the tools of Twitter. Her impact rate is also higher. This study contributes to current discussions on the mission of communication to foster trust, since the anti-publicity bias of the EU requires better levels of coherence to more effectively disseminate messages.
Impact of resveratrol-loaded liposomal nanocarriers on heat-stressed broiler chickens: Effects on performance, sirtuin expression, oxidative stress regulators, and muscle building factors

Climate change is considered to be the primary cause of heat stress (HS) in broiler chickens. Owing to the unique properties of extracted polyphenols, resveratrol-loaded liposomal nanoparticles (Resv-Lipo NPs) were first explored to mitigate the harmful effects of HS. The dietary role of Resv-Lipo NPs in heat-stressed birds was investigated based on their growth performance, antioxidative potential, and the expression of heat shock proteins, sirtuins, antioxidant, immune, and muscle-building related genes. A total of 250 1-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens were divided into five experimental groups (5 replicates/group, 10 birds/replicate) for 42 days as follows: the control group was fed a basal diet and reared in thermoneutral conditions, and the other four HS groups were fed a basal diet supplemented with Resv-Lipo NPsI, II, and III at the levels of 0, 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg diet, respectively. The results indicated that supplementation with Resv-Lipo NP improved the growth rate of the HS group. The Resv-Lipo NP group showed the most significant improvement in body weight gain (p < 0.05) and FCR. Additionally, post-HS exposure, the groups that received Resv-Lipo NPs showed restored functions of the kidney and the liver as well as improvements in the lipid profile. The restoration occurred especially at higher levels in the Resv-Lipo NP group compared to the HS group. The elevated corticosterone and T3 and T4 hormone levels in the HS group returned to the normal range in the Resv-Lipo NPsIII group. Additionally, the HS groups supplemented with Resv-Lipo NPs showed an improvement in serum and muscle antioxidant biomarkers. The upregulation of the muscle and intestinal antioxidant-related genes (SOD, CAT, GSH-PX, NR-f2, and HO-1) and the muscle-building genes (myostatin, MyoD, and mTOR) was observed with increasing the level of Resv-Lipo NPs. Heat stress upregulated heat shock proteins (HSP) 70 and 90 gene expression, which was restored to normal levels in HS+Resv-Lipo NPsIII. Moreover, the expression of sirtuin 1, 3, and 7 (SIRT1, SIRT3, and SIRT7) genes was increased (p < 0.05) in the liver of the HS groups that received Resv-Lipo NPs in a dose-dependent manner. Notably, the upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines in the HS group was restored in the HS groups that received Resv-Lipo NPs. Supplementation with Resv-Lipo NPs can mitigate the harmful impact of HS and consequently improve the performance of broiler chickens.
Impact of muscular symptoms and/or pain on disease characteristics, disability, and quality of life in adult patients with hypophosphatasia: A cross-sectional analysis from the Global HPP Registry

Introduction Hypophosphatasia (HPP) manifests in adults as fractures/pseudofractures, pain, muscle weakness, and other functional impairments. Better phenotypic disease characterization is needed to help recognize disability and treat patients with HPP. Methods Baseline/pretreatment demographic, clinical characteristic, and patient-reported disability/health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) data from adults (≥18 y) in the Global HPP Registry (NCT02306720) were stratified by presence of overt skeletal manifestations (skeletal group) versus muscular/pain manifestations without skeletal manifestations (muscular/pain group) and summarized descriptively. Disability was measured using the Health Assessment Questionnaire–Disability Index (HAQ-DI), and HRQoL using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36v2). Results Of 468 adults, 300 were classified into the skeletal group and 73 into the muscular/pain group. The skeletal group had a higher median age at baseline (50.1 vs 44.4 y; P=0.047) but a lower median age at first HPP manifestation (12.3 vs 22.1 y; P=0.0473), with more signs and symptoms (median, 4 vs 3; P<0.0001) and involved body systems (median, 3 vs 2; P<0.0001) than the muscular/pain group. More patients in the skeletal group required any use of mobility aids (22.6% vs 3.5%, respectively; P=0.001). Six-Minute Walk test distances walked were similar between groups. SF-36v2 and HAQ-DI scores were similar between groups for physical component summary (n=238; mean [SD]: 40.2 [11.0] vs 43.6 [11.2]; P=0.056), mental component summary (n=238; mean [SD]: 43.6 [11.3] vs 43.8 [11.8]; P=0.902), and HAQ-DI (n=239; median [minimum, maximum]: 0.4 [0.0, 2.7] vs 0.3 [0.0, 2.1]; P=0.22). Conclusion Adults with HPP experience similar QoL impairment regardless of skeletal involvement. Registration https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02306720 and https://www.encepp. eu/encepp/viewResource.htm? id=47907, identifier NCT02306720; EUPAS13514.
A meta-analysis of deltoid ligament on ankle joint fracture combining deltoid ligament injury

Purpose Ankle fracture combined with deltoid ligament (DL) injury results in decreased stability of ankle mortise, reduced contact surface between tibial and talus, increased local stress, and increased postoperative complications. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the postoperative effects of repairing ligaments in ankle fractures with DL rupture. Methods According to the steps of the Cochrane systematic review, the related literatures from PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library Databases were retrieved as of September 1, 2021, and all relevant randomized controlled trials and retrospective studies were collected. The evaluation indicators include medial clear space (MCS), visual analogue scale (VAS), American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), complications rate. Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan® 5.3 provided by the Cochrane collaboration. Results A total of 388 patients (195 patients in the ligament repair group and 193 patients in the non-repair group) were included in 7 clinical trials. Meta-analysis data showed there were no statistically significant differences between the ligament repair group and non-repair group in final follow-up VAS, final AOFAS and postoperative MCS (P = 0.50, P = 0.04, P = 0.14, P = 0.14, respectively). Final follow-up MCS and complications rate in ligament repair group were smaller than those in the non-repair group and were statistically significant (P < 0.00001, P = 0.006, respectively). Conclusion Although there was no difference in in final follow-up VAS, final follow-up AOFAS and postoperative MCS between experimental group and control group, It's statistically significant in final follow-up MCS and complications rate. Ligament repair could reduce the width of MCS, restore ankle stability, reduce the incidence of complications and lead to a better prognosis.
