The Effect of Aromatherapy and the Benson Relaxation Technique on the Anxiety of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome: Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Anxiety is a common symptom in patients with the Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), which can threaten their quality of life. This study was done to compare the effects of aromatherapy using lavender and Benson’s relaxation technique on the anxiety of patients with ACS. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 96 patients with ACS were selected using consecutive sampling method from two hospitals in an urban area of Iran. The patients were randomly assigned to three groups of aromatherapy (n=32), Benson’s relaxation (n=32), and control (n=32) using the block size of six. The interventions were performed on two consecutive days, once a day for 20 min. Anxiety was measured before and immediately after the intervention using the Spielberger’s Anxiety Inventory. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, one-way Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA), Bonferroni post hoc test, and mixed-model repeated-measures ANOVA with a 3*2*2 design by the SPSS V. 16. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in state and trait anxiety scores between the groups after the intervention on different time points (P> 0.05). The time (P=0.001), group-day interaction (P=0.005), and time (pretest and posttest) and day (P=0.029) effect on state anxiety was statistically significant. The time (P<0.001) and the group-day interaction (P<0.001) effect on trait anxiety was statistically significant. Conclusion: Benson’s relaxation method and lavender aromatherapy did not significantly reduce anxiety in patients with ACS. Considering the anxiety and its complications in patients with ACS and the importance of its management, further studies are needed to determine appropriate care and treatment for these patients and reduce their anxiety.
An Optimization Method of Javascript Redundant Code Elimination based On Hybrid Analysis Technique

Many websites import large JavaScript (JS) libraries to speed up development time and enhance user experience. However, many JS libraries that only partially utilized during page loading are all packaged into bundles. Redundant JS code inflates the page weight, which inflates the time it takes to download, parse, and compile JS resources. Therefore, it is very important to optimize the payload of JS resources to improve Web performance. This paper proposes a scheme combining static structure analysis technique and dynamic tracking technique to identify unused code during application execution and optimize the size of application bundle. Through the dependency relationship between the third-party libraries, this paper designed an analysis structure, which extract various types of function information to improve the redundant functions detection efficiency. After that, in the construction of the application bundle, this paper eliminated the redundant JS code. Our experiments show that the scheme is simple and effective, and reduces the amount of code in the bundle by 32.64% on average, and improves the accuracy by 23% on average compared with the coverage API redundancy detection tool. On the basis of ensuring the robustness of the code, the loading performance of the application is optimized.
Kontribusi Parental Mediation terhadap Kecenderungan Problematic Internet Use pada Remaja di SMP SFX

Continuous and uncontrolled internet usage in adolescents can lead to dependency on the internet or problematic internet use (PIU). To minimize this, parental mediation is needed to encourage teenagers to use internet wisely. This study aimed to determine the five types of parental mediation (restrictive mediation, active mediation of internet safety, active mediation of internet use, technical mediation, monitoring) contribution together towards the tendency of PIU in adolescents. This is a correlational-quantitative research using parental mediation and PIU scale. The participants were 214 adolescents of class VII-IX at SFX Junior High School who were selected by purposive sampling method. Around 71.97% of adolescents have a tendency to PIU classified as average-problem group. They use the internet to finding entertainment, opening social media, and chatting for 4-6 hours per day. The use of mediation strategies by parents in adolescents still varies, most adolescents perceive parents using technical mediation (around 25.23%) in assisting adolescents’ internet use. Through multiple regression analysis, the five types of parental mediation together do not have a significant contribution in predicting PIU. The greater contribution comes from variables outside the five types of parental mediation (around 95.2%), such as gender, purpose and time of internet use, socioeconomic condition, psychological condition, peers, and class environment. Based on the results of this study, it appears that parents still do not have deep knowledge about mediation strategies in addressing adolescents’ internet use. The recommendation is to provide training for parents to improve their knowledge and skills in assisting adolescents’ internet use.
The monitoring of 2d-3d transition for InAs/GaAs (001) self-assembled quantum dots by atomic force microscopy

We present a detailed Atomic Force Microscopy study of InAs/GaAs (001) self-assembled quantum dots, grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy, during its complete evolution cycle, transition from 2D islands to 3D islands. We created the dots by deposing InAs on a GaAs substrate. After a critical InAs coverage value is reached the dots become self-assembled due to strain. The resulting dots typically have a height of 5.7 nm and an emission at about 900 nm occurs until a second critical coverage point is traversed.
Les réformes à l’horizon 2030 dans les pays de l’OCDE

Penser l’education a l’horizon 2030 doit nous faire reflechir aux grands enjeux du monde actuel, afin de preparer au mieux les jeunes a s’y integrer. Les pays de l’OCDE ont bien saisi cette urgence, et non moins de 500 reformes educatives ont ete lancees depuis les annees 2000. Elles couvrent un large spectre, qui s’etend des reformes visant a ameliorer la qualite et l’equite a celles s’attaquant a la gouvernance ou aux modes de financement. Pourtant, nombre d’entre elles ne se sont pas traduites dans les faits par des ameliorations tangibles, souvent du fait de la faiblesse de la strategie de mise en œuvre qui leur etait associee. Quels sont donc les ingredients indispensables a une reforme reussie ? Comment etablir une strategie de mise en œuvre coherente ?
A mathematical model for thermoregulation in endotherms including heat transport by blood flow and thermal feedback control mechanisms: changes in coat, metabolic rate, blood fluxes, ventilation and sweating rates

ABSTRACT Thermoregulation in endotherms allows the maintenance of the body temperature independent of ambient temperature. Experimental data have revealed complex interactions between the physiological mechanisms of thermoregulation and environmental conditions. We derive a nonlinear partial integro-differential dynamical model based on physical first principles and fundamental physiological mechanisms to understand the role of some thermal control mechanisms in the thermoregulation process of endotherms. The model is composed of four layers representing different tissues and it incorporates six thermal feedback control mechanisms. These mechanisms are heat production due to metabolic rate and heat exchange within the body given its internal structure, and the model considers heat exchange due to conduction, heat transport by blood flow, heat exchange with the ambient through convection, radiation, and evaporation from the respiratory tract and superficial evaporation in both passive and active situations. Our model sheds new light on previous explanations about the classic metabolism-ambient temperature U-shaped curve.
Defect Classification in MV Cable Terminations Based on Residual Neural Network

This paper presents a method based on residual neural networks to classify poor workmanship defects located on MV cable terminations. A total of two cable groups was used, and each group consists of five different cables with five defects. Each cable has one defect. 120 partial discharge patterns were acquired for each defect (1200 patterns in total). One group of cables was used in the training phase and the other in the testing phase. Residual neural networks, one of the deep learning algorithms, were used in the analysis and classification of the data. The results show that the residual neural network algorithm can be used as an efficient diagnostic tool for classifying poor workmanship defects in cable termination, and partial discharge measurements provide valuable information in classifying defects.
Structure of alumina surfaces

The structure of hydroxylated alumina surface is analysed by IR spectroscopy. The variety of OH groups differing in number and coordination of surrounding metal atoms, for the completely hydrated surface, either formed by ideal low-index planes, or complicated by crystal edges and corners or cation vacancies, is restricted to six, but grows dramatically upon dehydroxylation. The results account for the complex structure observed previously in the IR spectra of surface OH groups after high-temperature treatment, and enable us to explain specific properties of transition aluminas.
RNA polymerase I transcription fidelity, speed and processivity depend on the interplay of its lobe binding subunits

Eukaryotic RNA polymerases I and III (Pol I and III) consist of core subunits, which are conserved in RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Additionally, Pol I and III have specific subunits, associating with the so-called ‘lobe’ structure first described within Pol II. In Pol I of the yeast S. cerevisiae, these are Rpa34.5, and the N-terminal domains of Rpa49 and Rpa12.2, here referred to as the lobe-binding module (lb-module). We analyzed functions of the lb-module in a defined in vitro transcription system. Cooperation between lb-module components influenced transcription fidelity, elongation speed, and release of stalled Pol I complexes to continue elongation. Interestingly, lb-module containing Pol I and III, but not Pol II, were able to transcribe nucleosomal templates. Our data suggest, how the Pol I specific subunits may contribute to accurate and processive transcription of ribosomal RNA genes.
Assessment of Nutritional Status in Children with Cerebral Palsy

Background: Cerebral palsy refers to a group of disorders that affect movement or posture. The present study was conducted to nutrition status in children with cerebral palsy.Subjects and Methods:The present study was conducted on 120 children age ranged 7-16 years diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Nutritional status assessment was based on the TSF and AFA estimates derived from TSF and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) measurements. Children were classified into underweight, <5th normal weight, 5-84.89th and overweight, >85th.Result:There were 70 boys and 50 girls in present study. Common type was spastic in 90, dyskinetic in 20 and ataxic in 10 patients. GMFCS levels was level I in 30, level II in 15, level III in 18, level IV in 9 and level V in 48 patients. The mean TSF and AFA Z-scores were significantly lower in low functioning children than in moderate functioning children (P< 0.05). Underweight and overweight prevalence were 13.1 % and 4.9 % respectively. The underweight prevalence was significantly higher in girls than in boys (P< 0.05), whereas overweight prevalence was significantly higher in boys than in girls (P< 0.05). Both underweight (P- 0.148) and overweight (P- 0.421) prevalence was not significantly different across age groups. Underweight prevalence was significantly higher in the low functioning group (P< 0.05). Conclusion:Authors found that cerebral palsy children face nutritional challenges. It is more common in underweight as compared to overweight children.
Ekstraksi Relasi Meronymy dengan Lexico-Syntactic Patterns

Abstrak— Ontologi terdiri atas konsep dan relasi yang masing-masing dapat diekstrak dengan berbagai macam metode. Salah satu metode yang dapat digunakan untuk ekstraksi relasi adalah metode berdasarkan Lexico-Syntactic Patterns. Secara sederhana, ekstraksi relasi dilakukan dengan mendapatkan sebuah pola yang menunjukkan sebuah relasi. Kemudian dilakukan percobaan untuk menguji apakah pola yang didapatkan mampu memprediksi relasi dengan tepat. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan percobaan untuk menguji pola relasi meronymy yang didapatkan dari dataset penelitian terdahulu. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan nilai recall dan precision. Dari penelitian ini, ditemukan bahwa banyaknya (keragaman) variasi dalam sekumpulan pola yang menunjukkan suatu relasi dapat mempengaruhi kemampuan kumpulan pola tersebut untuk memprediksi relasi dengan tepat. Semakin banyak variasi pola dalam satu relasi, maka ketepatan prediksi cenderung menurun.
Resveratrol Improves Endothelial Function

Objective— Oxidative stress plays an important role in type 2 diabetes–related endothelial dysfunction. We hypothesized that resveratrol protects against oxidative stress–induced endothelial dysfunction in aortas of diabetic mice by inhibiting tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-induced activation of NAD(P)H oxidase and preserving phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Methods and Results— We examined endothelial-dependent vasorelaxation to acetylcholine (ACh) in diabetic mice (Leprdb) and normal controls (m Leprdb). Relaxation to ACh was blunted in Leprdb compared with m Leprdb, whereas endothelial-independent vasorelaxation to sodium nitroprusside (SNP) was comparable. Resveratrol improved ACh-induced vasorelaxation in Leprdb without affecting dilator response to SNP. Impaired relaxation to ACh in Leprdb was partially reversed by incubating the vessels with NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor apocynin and a membrane-permeable superoxide dismutase mimetic TEMPOL.

Comparative Morphology of the Endophallus (Male Internal Genitalia) in Eight Species of the Genus Lixus Fabricius, 1801 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Lixinae): A Scanning Electron Microscope Study

The fine structure of the endophallus in eight species of Lixus beetles [L. (Callistolixus) furcatus Olivier, 1807; L. (Compsolixus) ascanii (Linnaeus, 1767); L. (Dilixellus) pulverulentus (Scopoli, 1763); L. (Epimeces) filiformis (Fabricius, 1781); L. (Epimeces) scolopax Boheman, 1835; L. (Lixochelus) cardui Olivier, 1807; L. (Lixoglyptus) circumcinctus Boheman 1835; and L. (Ortholixus) cinerascens Schoenherr, 1832 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Lixinae)] was compared. The armatures of the endophallus (internal sac) were investigated with scanning electron microscopy. The surface morphology of the endophalli is different in all species investigated and these characters could be useful for species identification.
The Role for Pre-Polymerized Sucralfate in Management of Erosive and Non-Erosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease – High Potency Sucralfate-Mucin Barrier for Enteric Cytoprotection

The superior performance of acid-controlling therapies, namely proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RA), eroded the early but tenuous role of sucralfate in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which role had resulted from clinical off-labeled use of sucralfate’s original regulatory indication, wihch was the management of duodenal ulcers. The clinical performance of standard sucralfate dosed at 14mg per kg (1 gram) four times daily was clinically inconsistent, substantially unimpressive and led to its exclusion from most clinical guidelines for GERD [1-4]. Clinical efficacy for standard sucralfate, whether tablet or suspension, had been largely mediocre for both erosive GERD and for NERD, non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease. There were two notable exceptions a trial conducted by Simon, et al. [5] in NERD patients using a mucoadherent gel formulation of sucralfate (twice as potent as sucralfate suspension in terms of retention on the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract [6,7]) and a trial conducted by Vermieidien, et al. [8] using sucralfate suspension for eGERD. In the former study [5], a 14mg/ Abstract
Avaliação da eficiência de acaricidas sobre Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus no estado da Bahia

The Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus tick is responsible for large losses in the national livestock, mainly due to the reduction in the productive performance of cattle, such damages estimated in billions of dollars per year are proved by the direct action of the hematophagia of the parasite that in addition is transmitter of other pathogens. The development of resistance to the main classes of acaricides currently employed has been widely reported, as well as the occurrence of residues in animal products and ecological problems. The present work had the objective of evaluating the efficiency of carrapaticides on R. (B.) microplus collected in properties in several regions of the state of Bahia. In order to do so, we were able to collect engorged telegraphs in several production units in the region. In vitro tests were performed with seven chemical groups of diluted acaricides as recommended by the manufacturers. For the tests, the ticks were divided into homogeneous groups, where it was later quantified the reduction oviposture and hatching. The results obtained in the experiments indicated varying degrees of efficacy of the several bases
Dopamine regulates the exploration-exploitation trade-off in rats

In a volatile environment where rewards are uncertain, successful performance requires a delicate balance between exploitation of the best option and exploration of alternative choices. It has theoretically been proposed that dopamine controls this exploration-exploitation trade-off, specifically that the higher the level of tonic dopamine, the more exploitation is favored. We demonstrate here that there is a formal relationship between the rescaling of dopamine positive reward prediction errors and the exploration-exploitation trade-off in simple non-stationary multi-armed bandit tasks. We further show in rats performing such a task that systemically antagonizing dopamine receptors greatly increases the number of random choices without affecting learning capacities. Simulations and comparison of a set of different computational models (an extended Q-learning model, a directed exploration model, and a meta-learning model) fitted on each individual confirm that, independently of the model, decreasing dopaminergic activity does not affect learning rate but is equivalent to an increase in exploration rate. This study shows that dopamine could adapt the exploration-exploitation trade-off in decision making when facing changing environmental contingencies.
Changes in apoptosis factors and activation of caspase-3 in tilapia muscle during storage

ABSTRACT The activation of the apoptosis pathway in tilapia muscle during postmortem storage was studied. Changes in caspase-3 activity, ATP content, cytochrome c levels, and ratio of Bcl-2/Bax levels of tilapia muscle were observed during postmortem storage at 20°C. Caspase-3 activity was found to be significantly increased at first, followed by a decrease (P < 0.05); the highest caspase-3 activity was observed at 1 h. The ATP content decreased significantly (P < 0.05), and almost exhausted after 10 h storage. The cytochrome c level in the cytosol showed a significant increase after 5 h of storage (P < 0.05), while the mitochondrial cytochrome c levels showed a decrease. The Bcl-2/Bax ratio was stable from 0–5 h, followed by a rapid decreased at 10–20 h and a significant increased after 20 h (P < 0.05), suggesting that the apoptosis process occurred until 20 h of postmortem storage. Thus, we concluded that the availability of ATP and the increase in cytosolic cytochrome c levels are essential for the activation of caspase-3, and that the former partly limits caspase-3 activity.
