Skin Photo-Protective and Anti-ageing Activity of Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment Based Herbomineral Formulation

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of The Trivedi Effect®- Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment based herbomineral formulation on various skin parameters using HFF-1, HaCaT, and B16-F1 cell lines. The test formulation was composed of minerals (zinc, selenium, and molybdenum), and L-ascorbic acid along with the mixture of Centella asiatica extract and tetrahydrocurcumin (THC). Test formulation and DMEM were divided into two equal parts, one was treated with the Biofield Energy Treatment by Bonnie P. Hegarty-Diaz and denoted as treated, while other part was coded as untreated groups. MTT assay result showed that the test formulation was found safe and nontoxic at tested concentration 40 µg/mL. Fibroblast cell proliferation assay showed significant increased cell proliferation by 26.83% at 8.75 µg/mL in BT-DMEM + BT-Test formulation group compared to the untreated group. The level of collagen was significantly increased by 22.05% and 22.24% (at 2.5 µg/mL) in BT-DMEM + UT-Test formulation and BT-DMEM + BT-Test formulation groups, respectively. However, collagen amount was increased by 11.08% and 9.52% in BT-DMEM + UT-Test formulation and BT-DMEM + BT-Test formulation groups, respectively at 1.25 µg/mL, compared to untreated group. Similarly, elastin synthesis was increased in the BT-DMEM + UT-Test formulation group by 19.98%, 72.54% and 105.04% at the concentrations 10, 5, and 2.5 µg/mL, respectively compared to the untreated group. However, level of hyaluronic acid was increased by 5.19% at 0.625 µg/mL in UT-DMEM + BT-Test formulation group compared with the untreated group. Besides, melanin synthesis inhibition was found to be inhibited by 14.80% and 17.40% at 0.125 µg/mL in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test formulation and BT-DMEM + UT-Test formulation groups, respectively compared with the untreated group in B16-F10 melanoma cell line. Anti-wrinkling activity in HFF-1 cells showed improve cell viability in all the groups at various concentrations, i.e. in UT-DMEM + BT-Test formulation, BT-DMEM + UT-Test formulation, and BT-DMEM + BT-Test formulation group by 10.69%, 6.9%3, and 11.86%, respectively at 0.625 µg/mL compared with the untreated group. In addition, wound healing scratch assay data suggest significantly higher cellular migration of fibroblast and keratinocytes cells in HFF-1 and HaCaT cells lines, respectively. In conclusion, Biofield Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) based test formulation and DMEM could be beneficial against various skin disorders such psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, skin cancer, rashes from bacterial or fungal infections and can be significantly used as anti-wrinkling, skin-whitening, anti-ageing, and rejuvenating action.
THE RECURSION THEOREM (FINAL)

Kleene’s Recursion Theorem, though provable in only a few lines, is fundamental to computability theory and allows strong self-reference in proofs. It is a fixed-point theorem in the sense that it asserts for any total computable function f , there is a number n such that n and f(n) index (or code) the same partial computable function (though we need not have f(n) = n). In this paper we will prove the Recursion Theorem, two generalizations, and some simple applications. Note that these theorems date back to near the beginning of the study of computability theory; those attributed to Kleene may or may not have been published by him at the time of their proof. For Kleene’s write-up of his own results, see his text [1]. The S-m-n Theorem and all versions of the Recursion Theorem are attributed to him; the Relativized S-m-n Theorem is not attributed to anyone, which is likely because it is such a natural and straightforward generalization that many people proved it independently. We begin with some background. As is standard in computability theory (see, e.g., the text by Soare [6]), let the enumeration of all partial computable functions be denoted {φe : e ∈ N}. The index or code of φe is e, and there is a computable bijection with computable inverse between functions and codes, which we assume is fixed and known from the beginning. This bijection allows one to obtain φe from e and encode any defined function into an index e. We say φn = φm if the domains of the two functions are equal and on the (mutual) domain the output values of the functions are always equal. As every function has infinitely-many indices, this is not an empty definition. For other standard computability-theoretic definitions see [6]. The basic theorem needed to prove the Recursion Theorem and its variants is the following, known as the S-m-n Theorem or the parametrization theorem.
RECENT ADVANCES IN THE APPLICATION OF ELECTRO-FENTON AND PHOTOELECTRO-FENTON PROCESS FOR REMOVAL OF SYNTHETIC DYES IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT

In recent years, an increasing need and interest to preserve environment has arisen, mainly by eliminating chemical compounds produced by many human activities, such as textile industry discharges. In this context, electrochemical advance oxidation processes capable of destroying several organic compounds in wastewater are being developed. The basis for these methods is the production of free hydroxyl radicals (  OH) as a primary oxidant. In these systems, the  OH is generated by water discharge over the anode of a high oxygen overvoltage material, and by the electro-Fenton type reaction. This last creates a mixture of iron ions (Fe 2+ ) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), electrochemically generated at the cathode by oxygen reduction via two electrons in acidic media. UVA irradiation improves the regeneration of Fe 2+ ions, enhancing the  OH production, generating the photolectro-Fenton process. The main objective of this paper is to summarize and analyze the results of a narrow selection of published researches about the increasing progress on these two emerging methods, which are very promising technologies for the removal of synthetic dyes in wastewater treatment in the near future.

Macaque-Tropic HIV-1 Derivatives: A Novel Experimental Approach to Understand Viral Replication and Evolution in Vivo

The use of animal models in the study of human diseases is obviously important. Fundamental properties of the disease can be investigated analytically and thoroughly by this approach, contributing much to the progress of basic science as well as clinical medicine (Nomaguchi & Adachi, 2010). Researchers in various specialties, therefore, have made every effort to establish animal models for human diseases including those caused by infectious agents. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) of humans has long been one of the major targets for the model study in appropriate animals. However, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) itself, the predominant causative virus of human AIDS, can not be used due to its very narrow host range. Because HIV-1 has adapted itself dexterously from the ancestral virus to replicate, persist and spread strictly in humans, it is very unique among various primate immunodeficiency viruses and no good counterparts are available in nature (Desrosiers, 2007; Kirchhoff, 2009; Sauter et al., 2009). Therefore, it can be concluded that practical and meaningful animal systems of non-alternative nature for HIV-1 study do not exist at all to date, although there are pre-existing animal models of some significance. HIV-1 does not replicate in animal species except for chimpanzees and humans (Nomaguchi et al., 2008a). Animals frequently used for our experiments on virology, such as rodents and nonhuman primates, are not exceptions to this barrier. However, if we are to search for, develop and establish a fruitful animal model system for HIV-1 research, nonhuman primates are considered to be most suited, for HIV-1 is best fitted with humans and some apes. Ever since the discovery of HIV-1 (Barre-Sinoussi et al., 1983), many prominent researchers keen on understanding its biology and molecular biology have done investigations extensively to elucidate the bases underlying the species-specificity unique to HIV-1. These studies have highlighted the presence of potent anti-HIV-1 factors in nonhuman cells that efficiently restrict or even abolish the replication of HIV-1 and successfully raised an epoch-making notion of the intrinsic immunity (Andrew & Strebel, 2010; Arhel & Kirchhoff, 2010; Ayinde et al., 2010; Bergamaschi & Pancino, 2010; Douglas et al., 2010; Fujita et al., 2010; Huthoff & Towers, 2008; Kirchhoff, 2010; Luban, 2007; Malim & Emerman, 2008; Nakayama & Shioda, 2010; Nomaguchi et al., 2008a, 2008b; Planelles & Barker, 2010; Sauter et al., 2010; Strebel et al., 2009; Towers, 2007).

Multibiometrics for Human Identification: Dynamic Security Management in Multibiometrics

Introduction Biometrics-based personal identification systems offer automated or semiautomated solutions to various aspects of security management problems. These systems ensure controlled access to the protected resources and provide higher security and convenience to the users. The security of the protected resources and information can be further enhanced with the usage of multibiometrics systems. The multibiometric systems are known to offer enhanced security and antispoofing capabilities while achieving higher performance. These systems can utilize multiple biometric modalities, multiple biometric samples, multiple classifiers, multiple features, and/or normalization schemes to achieve performance improvement (refer to chapter x for more details). However, the higher security and reliability offered by multibiometrics systems often come with additional computational requirements and user inconvenience, which can include privacy and hygienic concerns. Therefore the deployment of multibiometrics systems for civilian and commercial applications is often a judicious compromise between these conflicting requirements. The management of multibiometric systems to adaptively ensure the varying level of security requirements, user convenience, and constraints has invited very little attention in the literature. Very little work has been done on the theory, architecture, implementation, or performance estimation of multibiometrics that dynamically ensure the varying level of security requirements. Why Dynamic Security Management? The expected security requirements from the multibiometrics systems are typically expressed in terms of error rates and reliability of the employed system. These error rates correspond to false acceptance rate (FAR), which is the rate at which imposters are accepted as genuine users, or false rejection rate (FRR), which is the rate at which genuine users are rejected by the system as imposters.
Sublexical units and supralexical combinatorics in the processing of interfixed Dutch compounds

This study addresses the supralexical inferential processes underlying wellformedness judgements and latencies for a specic sublexical unit that appears in Dutch compounds, the interfix. Production studies have shown that the selection of interfixes in novel Dutch compounds and the speed of this selection is primarily determined by the distribution of interfixes in existing compounds that share the left constituent with the target compound, i.e. the “left constituent family”. In this paper, we consider the question whether constituent families also affect wellformedness decisions of novel as well as existing Dutch compounds in comprehension. We visually presented compounds containing interfixes that were either in line with the bias of the left constituent family or not. In the case of existing compounds, we also presented variants with replaced interfixes. As in production, the bias of the left constituent family emerged as a crucial predictor for both acceptance rates and response latencies. This result supports the hypothesis that, as in production, constituent families are (co-)activated in comprehension. We argue that this co-activation is part of a supralexical inferential process, and we discuss how our data might be interpreted within sublexical and supralexical theories of morphological processing.
FINAL PROGRESS REPORT TITLE: Text Messaging to Improve Hypertension Medication Adherence in African Americans PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR:

Purpose: This two-phased study sought to develop (Phase I) and test (Phase II) BPMED, a text message system to improve medication adherence in African Americans with uncontrolled Hypertension (HTN). Scope: In the US, almost 78 million adults ≥20 years of age have hypertension (HTN), a key risk factor for heart disease and stroke. HTN is a condition in which there exists tremendous health disparities. African Americans suffer from greater disease severity, earlier onset, and more HTN-related complications than age-matched Whites. Although HTN can be effectively managed with medication, adherence to antihypertensive medication regimens is poor. Text messaging is a promising strategy to improve medication adherence. Methods: In Phase I, we conducted formative research through focus groups with target end users to help develop BPMED. In Phase II, we conducted a one-month pilot RCT of BPMED compared to usual care. We hypothesized that BPMED participants would demonstrate improvements over usual care for measures of medication adherence, medication adherence self-efficacy, and blood pressure. Results: Both usual care and intervention groups showed slight improvements in medication adherence and blood pressure at one-month follow-up, but differences between groups were not significant, suggesting BPMED did not have an effect on primary or secondary outcomes at one-month follow-up. Despite lack of significant effect, BPMED participants self-report overwhelming satisfaction with BPMED, perceptions of greater adherence to antihypertensive medication regimens, and perceptions of overall health improvements. Further study of the BPMED program with a larger sample size and longer-term follow-up is warranted.
ORO‑DENTAL STATUS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN AGED BETWEEN 7‑12 YEARS, IN THE RURAL AREAS OF DOLJ COUNTY

Introduction: The World Health Organization has a long tradition on the methodology and monitorization of oral health epidemiological investigations, even in the field of dental caries. According to the targets to be attained in 2020, at the age of 6 years, 80% of children should be cavity‑free and, at the age of 12, DMFT should be no more than 1.5. Based on WHO targets for 2020, an epidemio‑ logical study was performed on school children affected by dental caries, aged between 7‑12 years, from the rural areas of the Dolj County. Methodology: The study protocol included conventional and meticulous visual clinical examination of students, according to WHO methodology, in the Pedodontic Clinics of Craiova ‑ Faculty of Medical Dentistry. Also calculated was the DMFT index, by analy‑ sis of the DT, MT, FT components, as well as the dmft index, by analysis of the dt, mt, ft components. Results: The mean indices of carious experience in temporary den‑ tition decrease with age, due to the progressive disappear‑ ance of milk teeth. The DMFT index values are given, in particular, by components that indicate the number of teeth affected by caries and not of the blocked ones. Con‑ clusions: The results obtained emphasize the need for den‑ tal health education programs at national and community level, the kindergartens and schools having a great poten‑ tial to influence dental health care habits in children. Also emphasized was the need for regional prevention pro‑ grams, as part of an overall national program, which has to consider the socio‑economic and cultural factors.
AMYGDALA INVOLVEMENT IN FACIAL NEGATIVE EMOTION

AMYGDALA INVOLVEMENT IN FACIAL NEGATIVE EMOTION processing seems to be lateralized. The aim of the present study was to verify the existence of this phenomenon in the music domain and to study asymmetrical processing of emotions by the anteromedial temporal structures. Thirteen epileptic patients with left unilateral resection in the temporal lobe including the amygdala, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, and anterior temporal pole, and fourteen patients with the same right-sided temporal resection, were asked to identify the emotion conveyed by music selections (happiness, sadness, or anger), and to assess their arousal (relaxing/stimulating aspects) and valence (pleasantness/unpleasantness aspects). The results demonstrated asymmetrical processing of positive emotions towards the left whereas negative (sad and angry) excerpts were either less recognized or confounded in both right and left operations. It seems that this impairment of music emotion recognition is not linked to an impairment of arousal and valence judgments.
ULTRASTRUCTURE OF THE FUNGAL NUCLEUS

The electron-dense material which regularly occurs at the poles of the nuclei of certain fungi during division has been studied in hyphal interphase nuclei of 4 basidioand 3 ascomycete8. The shape of this material varies with the species and the nuclear age and may be that of a sphere or a dumbbell. In some instances paired diskoidal structures are found in the place of the globular elements of the dumbbell configuration. The organelle in question lies in an invagination of the nuclear envelope preferentially at the forward pointing pole of the nucleus. Its size (0-1-0-5/im) is correlated with the size of the nucleus. In Polystictus versicolor the diameter of both globular elements of the polar organelle increases during initiation of the division process. The structure is identical with the fungal 'centriole' of light-microscopical studies but lacks the characteristic organization of a true centriole. It is suggested that the polar organelle is the equivalent of a kinetochore because it maintains continuous and direct contact with the nuclear envelope (on its cytoplasmic aspect), seems to be connected with the karyoplasm, exhibits oscillating movements, is continuous with microtubules during division and resembles in its fine structure the kinetochores of the chromosomes of higher plants and animals. In addition to its function as an organelle of nuclear motility it also seems to play a part in the initiation of DNA synthesis and nuclear division. If this is correct one would expect to find the genome of the fungal nucleus having the form of a unitary, coherent compound structure (chain) extending from or incorporating a single, solitary kinetochore.
Combining Mutual Information and Entropy for Unknown Word Extraction from Multilingual Code-Switching Sentences

In multilingual environments, a single statement may include content from more than one language, a phenomenon known as code-switching. Among speakers of Mandarin Chinese, code switching is a frequent occurrence in daily life, and this mixing of different languages poses serious challenges for language processing. This paper collects text corpora including code switching between Mandarin and English and Mandarin and Taiwanese, where Mandarin is the dominant language. Mutual information and entropy are then used as a basis for an algorithm to identify unknown words from multilingual texts which are then automatically referenced for multilingual inclusions. Experimental results show that the proposed method effectively filters unrelated new words, thus improving the accuracy of extracting unknown words.
Causes, clinical and imaging characteristics of moyamoya disease in children

Introduction: Moyamoya disease is a progressive, chronic occlusive vascular disease of the circle of Willis arteries leading to the development of collateral circulation to compensate the occlusion. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the potential causes and clinical and imaging characteristics of Moyamoya Disease (MMD) in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 14 MMD children, in which the potential causes were analysed, and the clinical and imaging characteristics were observed. Results: The average patient age was 6.15 y (range 21 months-13 y), and the female/male ratio was 1.3:1.0. There were 332 cases of ischemia and 196 hemorrhages. Eight cases had inducing factors including five cases of upper respiratory tract infection. Twelve cases exhibited limb weakness or hemiplegia. Among these patients, eight cases developed these manifestations as initial symptoms. Furthermore, seven cases presented language barriers, two cases had twitch, and two cases had headaches with unclear vision. All 14 patients underwent cranial Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the results revealed that twelve cases had cerebral infarction, and two cases had cerebral hemorrhage. Five of 14 patients experienced stenosis or occlusion at the siphon part of the bilateral internal carotid arteries, seven patients had bilateral anterior cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion, 8 were bilateral middle cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion, and 2 were bilateral posterior cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion. All patients smoke-like vessels in the basal ganglia region. Conclusion: High-risk age of child MMD ranged between 4-10 y old, which mostly manifested as transient cerebral ischemic insults; and inducing factors were mostly upper respiratory tract infections.
Three Theoretical Perspectives on Information Literacy

The concept of information literacy refers to purposeful information practices in a society characterized by almost limitless access to information and where information practices in digital environments shape and constitute important elements in most people’s lives in our part of the world. The meaning of the term information literacy varies according to the theoretical lens from which it is approached. Theoretical starting points are not always clearly stated in, for instance, information literacy definitions, standards, research or educational practices. Regardless of whether the underlying theory is made explicit or not, it will nevertheless have a profound impact on the ways in which we teach or research information literacy. This article discusses alternative theoretical understandings of information literacy and their consequences for educational practices. Three theoretical perspectives are presented that represent different understandings of information literacy; phenomenography, sociocultural theory and Foucauldian discourse analysis. According to all three theoretical lenses, information literacy is embedded in and shaped by as well as shaping the context in which it is embedded. In consequence, we propose the notion of information literacies in the plural. The three perspectives offer different insights on information literacies, on both empirical and theoretical levels. However, a sociocultural perspective also involves particular theoretical assumptions about the ways in which digital environments and tools reshape conditions for learning.
