Maternal Supplementation With Different Probiotic Mixture From Late Pregnancy to Day 21 Postpartum: Consequences for Litter Size, Plasma and Colostrum Parameters, and Fecal Microbiota and Metabolites in Sows

The present study determined the effects of different probiotic mixture supplementation to sows from late pregnancy to day 21 postpartum on reproductive performance, colostrum composition, plasma biochemical parameters, and fecal microbiota and metabolites. A total of 80 pregnant sows were randomly assigned to one of four groups (20 sows per group). The sows in the control group (CON group) were fed a basal diet, and those in the BS-A+B, BS-A+BL, and BS-B+BL groups were fed basal diets supplemented with 250 g/t of different probiotic mixture containing either 125 g/t of Bacillus subtilis A (BS-A), Bacillus subtilis B (BS-B), and/or Bacillus licheniformis (BL), respectively. The trial period was from day 85 of pregnancy to day 21 postpartum. The results showed that different dietary probiotic mixture supplementation increased (P < 0.05) the average weaning weight and average daily gain of piglets, while dietary BS-A+BL supplementation increased the number of weaned piglets (P < 0.05), litter weight (P = 0.06), litter weight gain (P = 0.06), and litter daily gain (P = 0.06) at weaning compared with the CON group. Different dietary probiotic mixture supplementation improved (P < 0.05) the colostrum quality by increasing the fat and dry matter concentrations, as well as the protein and urea nitrogen concentrations in the BS-A+BL group. Dietary probiotic mixture BS-B+BL increased the plasma total protein on days 1 and 21 postpartum while decreased the plasma albumin on day 1 postpartum (P < 0.05). In addition, the plasma high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was increased in the BS-A+B and BS-B+BL groups on day 21 postpartum, while plasma ammonia was decreased in the BS-A+B and BS-A+BL groups on day 1 and in the three probiotic mixtures groups on day 21 postpartum (P < 0.05). Dietary supplementation with different probiotic mixture also modified the fecal microbiota composition and metabolic activity in sows during pregnancy and postpartum stages. Collectively, these findings suggest that maternal supplementation with Bacillus subtilis in combination with Bacillus licheniformis are promising strategies for improving the reproductive performance and the overall health indicators in sows, as well as the growth of their offspring.
THE POTENCY OF CHITOSAN AS AN ELICITOR ON ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF Streptomyces sp. GMR-22 AGAINST HISTAMINE-PRODUCING BACTERIA

Streptomyces is a Gram-positive bacteria that produces the largest secondary metabolite compounds. The results of whole-genome sequence analysis showed that Streptomyces can carry more than 30 Biosynthetic Gene Clusters (BGC) encoding secondary metabolites that have the potential to be explored in the exploration for new bioactive compounds. However, not all BGC can be expressed in the laboratory scale and requires a specific activation method. This study aims to explore the potential of chitosan as an elicitor compound to activate and or increase the antibacterial activity of Streptomyces sp. GMR-22 was tested against histamine-producing bacteria (HPB) Morganella morganii TK7 and Citrobacter freundii CK1. Chitosan was added to the fermentation medium with the final concentration of 250, 500, and 750 µg/ml while without the addition of chitosan used as control. Fermentation was carried out for 10 days at room temperature, with constant agitation 200 rpm. The supernatant was separated by centrifugation at 3500 rpm for 15 minutes, then fractionation with ethyl acetate, concentrated by vacuum rotary evaporator, and freeze-dried. The test for antibacterial activity was carried out by the microdilution method with an extract concentration of 100 mg/ml. The test results of the microdilution method showed that the addition of chitosan successfully increases the antibacterial activity with the highest activity shown by the water fraction of 250 µg/ml addition of chitosan which effective in inhibiting the growth of Morganella morganii TK7 and Citrobacter freundii CK1 by 97,29% and 97,92% respectively.
Study of Kinesthetic Negotiation Ability in Lightweight Comanipulative Decision-making Tasks: Design and Study of a Virtual Partner based on Human-human Interaction Observation

This article presents the results of an experiment on physical Human-Human Interaction (pHHI), where human dyads cooperate on a one-dimensional comanipulative task in a novel lightweight teleoperation setup. The results of this experiment show that humans are able to handle asymmetrical information about the task and solve conflicts using only the kinesthetic channel. Data from the pHHI experiment is used to design a virtual partner that can perform the task alongside a human. The virtual partner behavior is based on the observation that initiative is highly correlated to decision-making in our pHHI negotiation scenario. The virtual agent is then evaluated in a physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) experiment. The results of the second experiment show that the virtual partner is able to perform the task without compromising the performances of the dyad and that a similar role distribution is observed in human-human and human-robot dyads. Moreover, the knowledge of the partner’s nature does not seem to influence the performances. The results obtained with the virtual partner are encouraging and could be used to design kinesthetic negotiation algorithms in pHRI settings. The main contributions of this article are: (1) supporting evidence of the possibility for humans to use the kinesthetic channel as mean of negotiation during physical Human-Human Interaction in the lightest known impedance negotiation tasks (with no virtual mass involved), (2) highlighting of the correlation between initiative and dyadic decision making, (3) design of a simple yet efficient virtual partner algorithm capable of realistic physical Human-Robot Interaction in the one-dimension tracking task used in the experimental setup. This design combines minimum jerk trajectory, switching role ability, decision criteria, and statistical parameters that are detailed in this article.
The Sport Participation Pathway Model (SPPM): a conceptual model for participation and retention in community sport

ABSTRACT National sport policy has a dual focus on population-based participation, and elite performance. There are various models depicting the pathway to elite, however, there has not been a population-based sport participation pathway model to track, develop and facilitate holistic participation policies in sport. The aim of this study is to review sport participation trends, including new data on retention and drop-out across age groups in community club-based sport, and combine this data with evidence from literature about people moving in and out of sport, to develop the Sport Participation Pathway Model (SPPM), which provides a holistic view of sport participation. We conducted a 3-year analysis of sport participation for eight major sports from 2015–2017 for children and young people aged 4–29 years. The total number of participants was 579,696. Only half 50.8% played continuously for the three years, 44.7% dropped out, and 4.5% played discontinuously. Drop-out was highest for those aged 4 (57.0%), and lowest for those aged 10–14 years (39.3%). The SPPM demonstrates the movements of participation in sport and the drop-out at various stages out of competitive club-based sport and for those who are the main participants. The model is a standalone sport participation model that is a representation and integration of empirical sport participation. This model therefore is most useful for sports organisations to recognise issues around retention and drop-out. In developing sport policies, government can also use the model to make decisions on target groups and funding support.
Musculoskeletal Pain Is Associated with Dietary Diversity Score among Community-Dwelling Older Adult: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background Musculoskeletal pains (MSP) are the most common cause of long-term severe pain and physical disability among older adults. This study is aimed at determining the relationship between dietary diversity score (DDS) and MSP in Tehran's older adults. Methods The study was a cross-sectional one that employed 213 participants with and without MSP complaints between May and October 2019 in Tehran, Iran. A 100 mm length visual analog scale questionnaire was used to assess pain along with a validated 147-item food frequency questionnaire for DDS evaluation. Statistical analyses included descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results 85% of the participants had a range of MSP with a low but insignificant DDS compared to individuals without pain (p = 0.12, 3.24 (±0.86) vs. 3.43 (±0.85), respectively). A significant association was observed among the quartiles of DDS that most of the subjects with MSP were in the lowest quartile relative to the highest one (p = 0.02). Moreover, the association between DDS and MSP remained significant in the adjusted model (OR = 0.28, 95%(CI) = 0.08 − 0.99). Conclusion A high-quality diet is important. Our study showed that a higher dietary diversity might be associated with lower MSP in older adults. More robust interventional studies are thus warranted to confirm the results.
A Comparison of the False Discovery Rate with Dunnett’s Test for a Large Number of Treatments

Probabilities of two types of errors are estimated for the False Discovery Rate Procedure (FDR), Dunnett’s test, and conducting individual t-tests when treatments are being compared against a control. Probabilities for two types of powers are also estimated. The number of treatments considered is 50, 100, 150, and 300 with the first treatment being the control. Differing numbers of treatments equal to the control are considered with equal sample sizes of 3 and 5.
Entrainment to sleep spindles reflects dissociable patterns of connectivity between cortex and basal ganglia

Communication between the basal ganglia (BG) and cortex is crucial for behavior as it allows learning through external reinforcement. Non-REM sleep benefits learning in the corticostriatal system through the sleep spindle-associated reactivation of previously active neuronal ensembles and the subsequent modification of synaptic weights. However, how sleep spindles coordinate cross-region spiking, and whether spindle-driven reactivation occurs in other BG structures, remains unknown. We recorded field potentials (FP) and spiking activity in cortex and BG during sleep in two non-human primates immediately following a task that involved the learning of new cue-reward contingencies. FP sleep spindles were widespread in the BG, and they were similar to cortical spindles in morphology, spectral content and response to learning prior to sleep. Further, BG FP spindles were concordant with EEG spindles and associated with increased cortico-BG correlation. However, spindles across the BG differed markedly in their entrainment of local spiking. The spiking activity of striatal projection neurons exhibited consistent phase locking to striatal FP spindles and EEG spindles, producing phase windows of peaked cross-region spindling. In contrast, in the subthalamic nucleus (STN), which like the striatum receives substantial thalamocortical input, and in BG nuclei downstream to the striatum and STN, neuronal firing was not entrained to either local or EEG sleep spindles. These results dissociate striatal projection neurons from the rest of the BG, and suggest corticostriatal synapses as the main hub for offline communication between cortex and BG.
Design method of non-singular terminal sliding mode control systems

A global non singular terminal sliding mode controller is presented for second order nonlinear dynamic systems with parameter uncertainty and external disturbance. By using a new terminal sliding mode surface, a control law with global non singularity is obtained. Both the time to reach the sliding mode surface from any initial system state and the time to reach the equilibrium point when in the sliding mode, are proved to be finite. The problem of precision in tracking is also explored in the case that terminal sliding mode control is applied to uncertain dynamic systems. A mathematical relationship between the width of the saturation function and the resultant precision in tracking is formulated. By specifying the precision of tracking that is required, an appropriate saturation function to eliminate chattering is designed. Simulation results are presented to validate the analysis.
Grain Boundary Segregation In Steels: Towards Engineering The Design Of Internal Interfaces

Solute decoration at grain boundaries (GB) leads to a number of phenomenon such as changes in interface structure, mobility, cohesion etc. Recent experimental investigations on interfacial segregation in steels are based on microstructural characterisation using two correlative methodologies, namely, Transmission Electron Microscopy-Atom Probe Tomography (APT) and Electron Backscatter Diffraction-APT. Considering the growing interest in this avenue, the present review is aimed at addressing the common adsorption isotherms used for quantifying interfacial segregation and providing an overview of the present state of experimental research in the area of GB segregation in steels. The areas where an understanding of GB segregation may be utilised have also been highlighted with a focus on the experimental challenges associated with understanding GB segregation in steels.

Three research questions were asked and three hypotheses tested. A sample size of 100 was derived from a population of 120 which consisted of top, middle and lower level managers. A cross sectional survey method was used and in addition, structured questionnaire administered in gathering information. Data collected was analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient statistical tool. Findings revealed a positive and significant relationship between employee relations policies and organizational sustainability. It was therefore concluded that employee relations policies have a positive and significant relationship with organizational sustainability. The study then recommended that employee relations policies should be accorded adequate priority in order to achieve organizational sustainability.
Minimally invasive removal of facial foreign body granulomas

Background Various materials, commonly called fillers, have been developed and are now used for cosmetic and reconstruction purposes. Indiscriminate injections of illegal and unknown substances have various side effects, among which foreign body granulomas are particularly difficult to treat. Surgical resection can be considered for small and well-defined foreign body granulomas, but complete resection is often impossible for wide facial granulomas, and postoperative deformities may occur. Therefore, this study presents cases where foreign bodies were evaluated using imaging studies and removed through minimally invasive procedures depending on their characteristics.Methods Thirty-five patients with chronic granulomas after illegal filler injections treated from 2012 to 2019 were enrolled. Clinically, these granulomas were classified into cystic and infiltrating groups according to the imaging study patterns. Patients in the cystic group underwent puncture and drainage, and those in the infiltrating group were first treated with intralesional laser treatment and then suctioned. If the results were insufficient, surgical removal combined with a lifting procedure was performed.Results All 35 patients were women, and their average age was 51 years. Surgery was successful in almost all cases, but four cases of insufficient removal and contour deformity were encountered during follow-up. Two patients underwent reoperation and two patients improved naturally.Conclusions In this study, we classified the characteristics of granulomas using preoperative imaging studies. Aesthetically favorable results were obtained using puncture and drainage and tumescent suction, along with, if necessary, surgical removal accompanied by a lifting procedure when removing facial foreign body granulomas.
Rewarding progress: Effective learning strategies through a variable ratio incentive-based approach in medical education

Medical students are faced with many unprecedented challenges, one of which is the large amount of material they are required to learn and retain. While effective learning strategies have been thoroughly researched, stress levels amongst medical students remain very high due to perceived failure to retain material, suggesting that novel methods of implementing such existing strategies are required. Aside from stress levels, additional challenges in medical education include the incorporation of inconsistent testing methods and the challenge of accommodating different learning styles and preferences. A more evidence-based approach that aims to cover many learning styles at once may be desirable. The aim of this commentary is to present some of the current learning and teaching strategies utilized within medical education across the world and to promote a novel supplementary approach to medical education involving a variable ratio incentive-based system of active recall and spaced repetition. This system aims to reward small achievements throughout the semester and complements formal structured examinations in order to motivate students. While this model has yet to be tested, we hope to motivate medical faculty to pilot a program with these evidence-based strategies in mind.
Selection of special frequency-band for transient based protection of Yunnan-Guangdong UHVDC transmission line

The single-ended transient based voltage protection method of UHVDC transmission line which uses protector to distinguish the opposite inside fault from outside fault can protect the whole transmission line.Extracting the special frequency-band of fault transient signals is important to the study of transient based protection of UHVDC transmission line based on this theory.Accurate model of Yunnan-Guangdong ± 800 kV UHVDC Transmission System is built up with reference to parameters of actual system.The stop band of refraction coefficient of transmission line boundary has been obtained with reference to parameters of the boundary system.The main energy frequency band of fault signals in stop band of refraction coefficient has been concluded by analyzing the frequency characteristics of fault signals.And the special frequency-band in the main energy frequency is that corresponds to fault signals which accords with the attenuation law that the attenuation effect from dual function of transmission line and its boundary is stronger than that from single transmission line,and the fault location can be determined by using transient signals in special frequency-band,so it can be extracted as fault signals in transient-based protection of transmission line.
Melodic contours of maternal humming to preterm infants in kangaroo care and infants’ overlapping vocalizations: A microanalytical study

Tonal or melodic contours of maternal voice directed to infants play a role in infants’ self-regulation and vocal responsiveness. However, we are unaware about melodic contours of maternal humming directed to preterm infants and its role for infants’ vocal responsiveness. We aimed (1) to identify the melodic contours (sinusoidal, bell-shaped, U-shaped, rising, falling, and linear contours) of maternal humming directed to preterm infants in kangaroo care and (2) to identify preterm infants’ overlapping vocalizations in each humming melodic contour. Mothers (N = 36) were invited to speak and to hum (using an improvised melody) for their preterm infants during kangaroo care. A temporal segmentation (frequency and lengths) of melodic contours of humming, and descriptive comparative analyses were performed. We found a predominance of sinusoidal contours, followed by bell-shaped, rising, falling, U-shaped, and, finally, linear contours. Also a predominance of infants’ overlapping vocalizations was found in sinusoidal and in bell-shaped contours. This study underlines the role of melodic contours of maternal humming to preterm infants, highlighting its communicative functions for the vocal engagement of preterm infants during kangaroo care.
