Intermittent Exercise Triggers Synthesis of CYP19 Aromatase as a Key Enzym for Estrogen Formation In Sprague Dawley Rat Bone Innovarectomy

Menopause is a permanent cessation of menstrual cycle due to reduced secretion of the hormone estrogen which can result in osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized by the process of bone resorption faster than the process of bone formation, resulting in a decrease in bone mineral density and bone microarchitecture damage resulting in bones becoming brittle and easily fracturing. Physical exercise is a holistic intervention to prevent osteoporosis due to menopause. This study is a pure experimental study using a post-test only control group design research design. The subjects of the study were the 12-week-old Sprague Dawley rat. The number of groups is 5 with the number of rats per 6 animals. There was a significant difference between the ovarectomy group of rats and the ovarectomy group of mice and were given intermittent exercise treatment of CYP19 aromatase expression. Discussion: Muscle contractions that occur due to intermittent exercise treatment can produce large amounts of IL-6 and IL-6 mRNA which can stimulate estrogen production. Local estrogen production can reduce bone resorption and increase bone formation and bone density Intermittent exercise can trigger the process of the synthesis of the CYP19 aromatase enzyme in ovarectomy rat femur bones
On Facilitating the Modular Multilevel Converter Power Scalability Through Branch Paralleling

Modular multilevel converter current scalability challenge can be significantly alleviated by connecting its branches in parallel. In case a predefined submodule design is to be used with the aim of serving a certain span of applications, methods of achieving desired current scalability of the modular multilevel converter rely upon numerous hardware adaptations. Contrary to that, for the same goal to be achieved, paralleling of the branches eliminates the need for a major redesign of the existing converter parts. Consequently, superior operational flexibility can be achieved with most of the effort being concentrated in the control domain, allowing for less costly solutions to be realized. This paper provides a thorough control analysis of the modular multilevel converter operating with an arbitrary number of parallel connected branches.
Evaluation methods for robots taxation

This paper presents the basic constitution of the concept of taxation, two tools for strategic decision making and based on that discusses on favor of and against the idea of robots taxation. Like any other idea’s pros and cons are its advantages and disadvantages, which should be carefully consider so that a sensible decision may be reached. But, looking in pros and cons, does not takes in to consideration the variable time. There is no question that robots should be considered as a good thing that can help us produce cheap goods, and provide cheap services. But nobody knows at the moment whether robots will be good also for working people (blue or white collar). Robots for sure are a complicated issue. It is necessary to evaluate the pros and cons before drawing any conclusions, but it is also very important to see the future opportunities and threats.

Cube-to-sphere Projections for Procedural Texturing and Beyond

Motivated by efficient GPU procedural texturing of the sphere, we describe several approximately equal-area cube-to-sphere projections. The projections not only provide low-distortion UV mapping, but also enable efficient generation of jittered point sets with O(1) nearestneighbor lookup. We provide GLSL implementations of the projections with several real-time procedural texturing examples. Our numerical results summarize the various methods’ ability to preserve projected areas as well as their performance on both integrated and discrete GPUs. More broadly, the overall cube-to-sphere approach provides an underexplored avenue for adopting existing 2D grid-based methods to the sphere. As an example, we showcase fast Poisson disk sampling.
Virality of content on social media

Virality of online content on social networking websites is an important but esoteric phenomenon often studied in fields like marketing, psychology and data mining. In this project, I have studied viral content from a computer vision and natural language perspective. I have introduced a new dataset from Twitter for studying virality and defined an annotation score using Twitter metadata. I have also trained a deep learning Siamese model to predict virality of individual posts using relative virality in pairs of posts.
DETERMINATION OF THE IN VITRO EFFECT OF LEMONGRASS (Cymbopogon flexuosus) OIL AGAINST FISH PATHOGENIC BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM CULTURED OLIVE FLOUNDER (Paralichthys olivaceus)

The antibacterial activity of essential oil from lemongrass ( Cymbopogon flexuosus ) (LGO) was tested against strains of Edwardsiella tarda (n=4), Photobacterium damselae (n=1), Lactococcus garvieae (n=1), Streptococcus iniae (n=4) and S. parauberis (n=4) isolated from cultured olive flounders in Korea. Disk diffusion assay, MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and MBC (minimum bactericidal concentration) tests showed the strains of Streptococcus spp . were the most sensitive. LGO was bactericidal (MBC/MIC=1-4) for all strains of L. garvieae , S. iniae and the FP5060 strain of E. tarda , and the FP5228, S527 and S1466 strains of S. parauberis suggesting sensitivity to LGO. Gram-negative bacteria were less sensitive than Gram-positive bacteria. Since antibacterial activity of LGO was effective against fish pathogenic bacteria tested in this study, the use of LGO could be helpful in treating such bacterial infections in fish. Key words: lemongrass oil; olive flounders; fish pathogenic bacteria; antimicrobial activity IN VITRO UCINEK OLJA LIMONSKE TRAVE (Cymbopogon flexuosus) PROTI RIBJI PATOGENI BAKTERIJI, IZOLIRANI IZ GOJENEGA MORSKEGA LISTA (Paralichthys olivaceus) Povzetek: Protibakterijsko delovanje etericnega olja limonske trave ( Cymbopogon flexuosus ; LGO) je bilo preizkuseno glede njihovega delovanja proti sevom bakterij Edwardsiella tarda (n = 4), Photobacterium damselae (n = 1), Lactococcus garvieae (n = 1), Streptococcus iniae (n = 4) in S. parauberis (n = 4) pridobljenih iz gojenih morskih listov v Koreji.

Subjective Well-Being, Mastery of Roles and Their Relationships with Families among Stroke Patients in the Rehabilitation Period

Patientswithstrokefaceanumberofproblemsthatincludephysical,social,emotional, psychological, and spiritual problems. It caused a decrease in the well-being that he felt by stroke patients ,also coupled with a decrease in the ability to perform daily roles and decreased well-being social relationship, especially relations with his family. This study aimed to identify well-being, mastery of roles, and well-being of relationships with families and was associated with demographic characteristics. This research used quantitative descriptive methods. The sample consisted of stroke patients who were outpatient at a hospital in Bandung. A total of 96 respondents were taken based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The instruments used were personal well-being index, Role-Function Mode Scale, and Brief Family Relationship Scale. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and chi square. The results showed that half (50%) of stroke patients experienced poor well-being. There were still those who said that almost half (39.60%) of stroke patients said that mastery of roles was not good. Likewise with the well-being of relations, there were still those who said almost half (35.40%) of the welfare of their relationships was not good. From the analysis of the relationship between demographic characteristics, it found that there was a signiﬁcant relationship between the subjective well-being of stroke patients and the relationship between respondents and families (p = 0.001). Conclusions is well-being, mastery of roles, and relationships with families in stroke patients are still not satisfactory.Efforts are needed that can increase family support effectively for stroke patients.
Perception as a Social Infrastructure for Sustaining the Escalation of Ethnic Conflicts in Divided Societies in Ghana

The paper draws on interviews with members of affe cted ethnic groups conducted in various regions, especially in Northern Ghana over a period of two years and a review of primary and sec ondary documentary sources to provide a graphic analysis of social ten sio s in divided communities. The analysis will deepen the understan ding that Ghana is no exception to violent ethnic conflicts and also make s the case for the National and Regional Peace Councils to focus their programmes and activities in these regions/districts in order to a ddress some of the pressures that have caused such communal violence. These post-conflict societies have achieved cessation of violence and e mbarked on conflict transformation processes. The establishment of the National Architecture for Peace in Ghana is aimed at creating an inclusiv e platform for postconflict societies to engage, understand their posi tions, interests and needs, build consensus and to nurture durable and s ustainable peace. The key assumption of this paper is that conflict escalation and spiral violence are a means of social communication ; disseminating (symbolic) meaning which is open for interpretation s, which, to a large extent are influenced by perceptions which serve to fuel the conflict dynamics. It is not surprising, therefore, that the focus of development studies and policy have shifted to incorporate in t heir analysis the possible causes and responses to such conflict situations, w hile orking to ensure a merger of development and security.
Vascular KCNQ Potassium Channels as Therapeutic Targets in Cerebral Vasospasm

Following subarachnoid hemorrhage, chronic narrowing of cerebral arteries, including basilar artery, leads to reduction of blood flow to the brain and results in high morbidity and mortality. During vasospasm, cerebrospinal fluid levels of putative spasmogens, endothelin‐1, serotonin, and vasopressin (AVP) are elevated. However the mechanisms by which they produce vasospasm are not clear. We recently found that AVP suppresses KCNQ (Kv7) potassium currents in mesenteric artery myocytes. This depolarizes the membrane leading to activation of voltage‐gated Ca2+ channels and arterial constriction. Here we propose that KCNQ channels are also central mediators of cerebral vasospasm. We used patch clamp electrophysiology in myocytes and pressure myography in isolated artery segments to characterize the role of KCNQ channels in rat basilar artery vasospasm. The spasmogens all suppress KCNQ currents in basilar artery myocytes. Flupirtine, a KCNQ channel opener, reversed the suppression of KCNQ currents and basilar artery constriction induced by the spasmogens. Celecoxib, a dual KCNQ channel opener and Ca2+ channel blocker was more effective than nimodipine in dilating basilar arteries. These findings provide the first evidence that KCNQ channels are expressed and functional in basilar artery and suggest that these channels are potential novel targets for therapeutic intervention in cerebral vasospasm.

A new electrocardiographic parameter associated with sudden cardiac death in pulmonary sarcoidosis

Introduction The interval from the peak to the end of the electrocardiographic T wave (Tp–Te) may correspond to malignant ventricular arrhythmias. In this study we aimed to assess Tp–Te variability and investigate the transmural dispersion of repolarisation in pulmonary sarcoidosis disease without proofed cardiac involvement. Material and methods This was a retrospective case-control study that included patients who had a pathologic and radiologic diagnosis of sarcoidosis. All data of the patients’ demographic features and electrocardiographs were analysed. Results We enrolled 78 patients with sarcoidosis and 54 healthy volunteers as controls in our study. Men comprised 36% of the sarcoidosis group and 27% of controls. The mean age in the sarcoidosis and control group was 45.4 ±8.7 years (range: 23–58 years) and 44.6 ±11.9 years (range: 21–73 years), respectively. There was no significant difference between the groups for age or sex (p = 0.654, p = 0.246, respectively). There was a significant increase in Tp–Te results in all precordial leads in the sarcoidosis group compared with the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions Pulmonary sarcoidosis is suspected to have cardiac involvement; therefore, we need to develop new approaches. We present strong evidence that Tp–Te intervals were increased in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis, which suggests that there may be a link between sarcoidosis and ventricular arrhythmias without proofed cardiac involvement.

Self-reported chronic conditions in student population in Slovenia.

Purpose/Objective: h e aims of this study were (1) to determine the prevalence of chronic diseases in a student population in Slovenia, (2) to determine the ef ects of chronic diseases on the use of health services. Methods: A cross-sectional web-survey among university students in Ljubljana and Maribor, Slovenia took place in March and April 2008. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 13.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA), and chi-square test, t-test and binary logistic regression analysis were performed. Results: h e prevalence of chronic diseases in the student population was 40.3 %. h e most common chronic diseases were allergies (excluding hay fever) (14.9 %), hay fever (11.4 %), followed by skin diseases (9.2 %) and anxiety (5.3 %). Both high blood pressure and asthma had a higher prevalence in men than in women (p < 0.001 and p = 0.023, respectively). Students with chronic conditions less ot en thought that they can inl uence their own health by self-treatment, experienced stress in the previous week, more likely visited or contacted his/her personal doctor in the past year, more likely purchased medications for self-treatment from a pharmacist in the past year, were more aware of the facts that self-treatment may hide the symptoms and signs of illness to such extent that the doctor may not be able to recognize it or overlook it completely. Conclusion: A greater awareness of the prevalence and impact of chronic diseases in students is warranted and the existing interventions should be changed in order to achieve a better life quality of university students.

An Outline Implementation for Habitual Production of Ontology from RDF To Medical Data

Information on the web is extremely growing in current years with the quicker velocity. This enormous or capacious data has driven intricate troubles for information recovery and information organization. As the data resides in a network with numerous forms, the Knowledge management in the web is a challenging task. Here the novel ‘Semantic Web’ concept may be used for understanding the web contents by the machine to offer intelligent services in an efficient way with a meaningful knowledge representation. The information recovery in the conventional web source is centered on ‘page positioning’ strategies, though in the semantic web the information recovery forms depend on the ‘idea-based learning’. The proposed work is gone for the improvement of another system for programmed age of cosmology and RDF to some continuous system information, removed from numerous storehouses by following their URL’s and Text Documents. Enhanced altered ordering method is connected for cosmology age and turtle documentation is utilized for RDF documentation. A program is composed for approving the extricated information from different archives by expelling undesirable information and considering just the report segment of the website page.
Association between Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Polymorphism (Glu298Asp) and Coronary No-Reflow Phenomenon in Acute Myocardial Infarction

No-reflow phenomenon is an important complication of primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Several variants in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene, which reduce endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity, are a risk factor for coronary heart disease. However, its role in no-reflow phenomenon has not yet been revealed. This study aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase Glu298Asp gene variant and the development of coronary no-reflow phenomenon in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction. The study was conducted among 116 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST elevation myocardial infarction. Group 1 included 52 ST elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing no-reflow phenomenon as a study group. Group 2 comprised 64 ST elevation myocardial infarction patients without no-reflow phenomenon as a control group. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase was tested using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length variant. The prevalence of TT genotype of endothelial nitric oxide synthase Glu298Asp gene variant was found to be significantly higher in patients developing coronary no-reflow when compared to those without no-reflow (p = 0.016; 11.54% vs. 1.56%) (OR = 10.85, 95% CI = 1.22–96.39). However, a similar association for the heterozygous GT genotype of endothelial nitric oxide synthase Glu298Asp gene variant was not observed between the two groups. The results of this preliminary study indicate that there is an association between Glu298Asp variant in endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene and the development of no-reflow phenomenon in ST elevation myocardial infarction. The presence of homozygous TT allele may contribute to tendency to the development of no-reflow phenomenon.
AlBERTo: Italian BERT Language Understanding Model for NLP Challenging Tasks Based on Tweets

English. Recent scientific studies on natural language processing (NLP) report the outstanding effectiveness observed in the use of context-dependent and task-free language understanding models such as ELMo, GPT, and BERT. Specifically, they have proved to achieve state of the art performance in numerous complex NLP tasks such as question answering and sentiment analysis in the English language. Following the great popularity and effectiveness that these models are gaining in the scientific community, we trained a BERT language understanding model for the Italian language (AlBERTo). In particular, AlBERTo is focused on the language used in social networks, specifically on Twitter. To demonstrate its robustness, we evaluated AlBERTo on the EVALITA 2016 task SENTIPOLC (SENTIment POLarity Classification) obtaining state of the art results in subjectivity, polarity and irony detection on Italian tweets. The pre-trained AlBERTo model will be publicly distributed through the GitHub platform at the following web address: https://github.com/ marcopoli/AlBERTo-it in order to facilitate future research.
