Evaluation of syringin’s neuroprotective effect in a model of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury

Background/aim A significant cause of mortality and morbidity in the neonatal era is hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). This study examined the histopathological analysis and neuroprotective impact of syringin (SYR) in an experimental HIE rat model. Material and methods On the 7th postnatal day, 24 Wistar albino rats were evaluated in 3 groups using the HIE model under gas anesthesia. In the experiment, Group A received 10 mg/kg SYR plus dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), Group B received DMSO only, and Group C served as a sham group. Immunohistochemical techniques were used to assess apoptotic cell measurement and proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β primary antibodies). Results Rats suffering from hypoxic-ischemic brain damage had their apoptosis assessed. The SYR and sham groups had statistically fewer cells undergoing apoptosis (p < 0.001). There was no difference between the groups in terms of IL-1β and TNF-α during immunohistochemical staining. Neuronal degeneration was significantly lower in the histological evaluation of the hippocampus in the SYR group (p = 0.01). A statistically significant difference (p = 0.01) was observed between the SYR and the control groups regarding pericellular and perivascular edema. Conclusion SYR reduced apoptosis, perivascular and pericellular edema, and neuronal degeneration in rat cerebral tissue. These results raise the possibility that SYR may have a neuroprotective effect on the harm brought on by HIE. This is the first investigation of SYR’s function within the HIE paradigm.

Dansgaard–Oeschger Oscillations in a Coupled Atmosphere–Ocean Climate Model

Abstract A reduced model of the global thermohaline circulation has been asynchronously coupled to a simple energy balance climate model in order to investigate the natural variability of the overturning circulation that may have been characteristic of late glacial conditions. Previous analyses with the ocean-only component of the model have suggested that the nature of the internal variability of the thermohaline circulation was a strong function of the surface boundary conditions on temperature and salinity flux. When the boundary conditions were altered from those corresponding to modern conditions to those appropriate to full glacial conditions, then the internal variability was shown to be radically transformed. Under modern conditions the ocean-only version of the model delivered an overturning circulation that was only weakly time dependent with a characteristic period of centuries. Under full glacial boundary conditions, however, the circulation became strongly time dependent with a characteristic.
PORÓWNANIE NAWYKÓW ŻYWIENIOWYCH MŁODZIEŻY Z UWZGLĘDNIENIEM PŁCI ORAZ POZIOMU AKTYWNOŚCI FIZYCZNEJ COMPARISON OF EATING HABITS AMONG STUDENTS WITH ADMITTED SEX AND LEVEL OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

The aim of the study was to evaluate nutritional habits of high school students, depending on their sex and physical activity. The investigated population included 147 students in age of 17,5 ± 1,5 y (girls DZ = 98, boys CH = 49) with different level of physical activity (athletes SPO, moderate physical activity UAF, low physical activity NAF). Nutritional data were obtained by FFQ and calculated for selected food-groups and generally as young healthy eating index YHEI. International IPAQ was used to determine the level of physical activity and anthropometric measured were conducted to estimated BMI and body fat status. It was indicated the YHEI in athletes was significantly higher (p < 0,05) compared to rest of students. Moreover, a significant difference (p < 0,05) in YHEI in DZ compared to CH was also found. The significant differences (p < 0,05) in the frequency of consumption of red meat, vegetable oil and sweetned drinks was revealed between DZ and CH adolescents. The frequency of consumption of vegetable oil, fast – foods, sweets, alcoholic drinks, energy drinks and isotonic drinks varied with the level of physical activity. Frequency of consumption of sweets negatively correlated with skinfold thickness in DZ, whereas positive correlation between consumption frequency of energy drinks, BMI and skinfold thickness was found in CH. The results show, that nutritional habits of the athletes was most approached to nutritional guidelines. CH, nutritional habits may predicted to overweight and obesity in CH group more distinctly than in DZ group.

High-order temporal approaches for overset applications and AMR grids.

: Multi-mesh, multi-solver overset approaches for Computational Fluid Dynamics are popular for complex applications involving moving bodies. Timestepping approaches in overset CFD frameworks, however, are typically limited to 1st or 2nd order backwards diﬀerencing. Ad-vancing the overset multi-solver paradigm to use high-order, implicit Runge-Kutta schemes involves non-trivial updates to mesh motion, domain connectivity, and ﬂow-solver modules of an overset framework. This work investigates applying up to 4th-order implicit Runge-Kutta methods to various overset problems. First, vortex convection is studied in Cartesian meshes to verify temporal accuracy. Next a vortex-wing interaction case is studied using stationary, overset meshes. The ﬁnal case involves a pitching wing mesh overset within a stationary background domain. For all overset cases usage of higher-order temporal schemes reduce the error compared to traditional 1st or 2nd order approaches.
Rotation of GOCE gravity gradients to local frames

SUMMARY ESA's GOCE mission aims at improved global and regional gravity field information with high spatial resolution by measuring gravity gradients. A local analysis of the GOCE gravity gradient tensor may benefit from a rotation from the gradiometer reference frame to local reference frames such as the local north oriented reference frame. As the GOCE gravity gradients include accurate and less accurate measured gradients, the point-wise tensor rotation of the GOCE-only measurements may suffer from the projection of the errors of the less accurate gravity gradients onto the accurate gravity gradients. In addition, the GOCE gravity gradients have high accuracy in the measurement bandwidth but low accuracy below, and tensor rotation may cause leakage of the large error below the measurement bandwidth to the measurement bandwidth. Degradation of the rotated gravity gradients is circumvented by replacing the less accurate tensor components, as well as the signal below the measurement bandwidth of the accurate gravity gradients, with model signal. The combination of GOCE and model gravity gradients is performed by determining the effective measurement bandwidth (EMB), that is, the bandwidth in which the integrated signal-to-noise ratio of the GOCE gravity gradients is maximized. We find that the determination of the EMB is relatively independent of the reference gravity field model that is used. The lower bound of the EMB is well below the pre-mission specifications for the four accurate gravity gradients. In addition, we assess how much GOCE contributes to the gravity gradient signal in local frames and how much the model. For the radial gravity gradient the relative GOCE contribution is 98 per cent on average, whereas this is 65–97 per cent for the other gravity gradients. These numbers strongly depend on the local frame under consideration and on the geographical position.

VD-PSI: Veriﬁable Delegated Private Set Intersection on Outsourced Private Datasets

Private set intersection (PSI) protocols have many real world applications. With the emergence of cloud computing the need arises to carry out PSI on outsourced datasets where the computation is delegated to the cloud. However, due to the possibility of cloud misbehaviors, it is essential to verify the integrity of any outsourced datasets, and result of delegated computation. Veriﬁable Computation on private datasets that does not leak any information about the data is very challenging, especially when the datasets are outsourced independently by different clients. In this paper we present VD-PSI, a protocol that allows multiple clients to outsource their private datasets and delegate computation of set intersection to the cloud, while being able to verify the correctness of the result. Clients can independently prepare and upload their datasets, and with their agreement can veriﬁably delegate the computation of set intersection an unlimited number of times, without the need to download or maintain a local copy of their data. The protocol ensures that the cloud learns nothing about the datasets and the intersection. VD-PSI is efﬁcient as its veriﬁcation cost is linear to the intersection cardinality, and its computation and communication costs are linear to the dataset cardinality. Also, we provide a formal security analysis in the standard model.
Covariability of dissolved oxygen with physical processes in the summertime Chesapeake Bay

Long, rapidly sampled time series measurements of dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, currents, winds, tides, and insolation were colIected during the summer of 1987 across the mesohaline Chesapeake Bay. Analyses of the data show that short term variability of dissolved oxygen was both large and spatialIy heterogeneous. Time scales of variability ranged from the longest period fluctuations resolved (several days) to the sampling interval (several minutes). The largest variability was associated with large amplitude, wind and tide forced lateral internal oscilIations of the pycnocline in the mainstem of the Bay. These resulted in advection of saline, hypoxic water from below the pycnocline onto the flanks of the Bay and into the lower reaches of the Choptank River, an adjoining tributary estuary. Advective variability at higher frequencies was likely due to internal waves, internal mixing, and/or spatial patchiness. Dissolved oxygen also responded to the daily cycle of insolation, but lagged insolation by at least 90° (6 h). Advective variability of dissolved oxygen is implicated as an important characteristic of the majority of summertime benthic environments in the mesohaline Chesapeake Bay and lower reaches of adjoining tributaries.
Assessment of the knowledge of Algerian dentists and dental students in orofacial pain field

Introduction: Dentists are the primary healthcare providers for patients with orofacial pain. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge of dental physicians and dental students in the diagnosis and treatment of orofacial pain. Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study using two online questionnaires distributed between May 10 and July 10, 2021. We included dentist students and dentists practicing in any public or private establishment in Algeria. The data collected was coded and introduced in Excel software. Results: A total of 150 dentists and 303 students participated in the study. The majority of dentists reported a higher frequency of temporomandibular disorders (30%) compared to other orofacial pain. The dentists’ overall knowledge score was 41.25%. Knowledge, in terms of diagnosis, was judged average with a score of 47.2%. Knowledge of etiologies and treatment was low (14.3% and 35.4% respectively). Few dentists refer patients to pain specialists for pain with no noticeable cause. Regarding students, the overall knowledge score was 39%. For diagnosis, the score was intermediate (42.6%) and poor for etiologies and treatment; 36.95%, 17.5% respectively. Conclusion : The current study revealed a low level of knowledge among dentists and dental students in the field of orofacial pain. This is at the origin of diagnostic wandering and sometimes invasive, costly and unnecessary interventions delaying appropriate management. University and postgraduate training on orofacial pain is necessary to ameliorate practitioners knowledge.
A novel techno-economical layout optimization tool for floating wind farm design

Abstract. Over the past few years, the offshore wind sector has been subject to renewed yet growing interest from the industry and from the research sphere, with a particular focus on a recently developed concept, the floating offshore wind (FOW). Because of its novelty, floating research material is found in limited quantity. This paper focuses on the layout optimization of a floating offshore wind farm (FOWF) considering multiple parameters and engineering constraints, combining floating-specific parameters together with economic indicators. Today’s common wind farm layout optimization codes do not take into account either floating-specific technical parameters (anchors, mooring lines, inter-array cables (IACs), etc.) or non-technical parameters (operational expenditure, OPEX; capital expenditure, CAPEX; and other techno-economic project parameters). In this paper, a multi-parametric objective function is used in the optimization of the layout of a FOWF, combining the annual energy production (AEP) together with the costs that depend on the layout. The mooring system and the collection system including the inter-array cables and the offshore substation are identified as layout-dependent and therefore modeled in the optimization loop. Using ScotWind site 10 as a study case, it was found with the predefined technical and economic assumptions that the profit was increased by EUR 34.5 million compared to a grid-based layout. The main drivers were identified to be the AEP, followed by the anchors and the availability associated with the failures of inter-array cables.
Impact of Demographic Characteristics and Therapy on Tuberculosis Incident Cases

For more than two decades, tuberculosis (TB) has ranked second among the top killers of infectious diseases, with an estimated 10.4 million incident cases in 2018. Demographic characteristics and drug susceptibility influence TB incidence worldwide. Using a retrospective cohort design, the purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate whether race/ ethnicity, age, sex (gender), therapy completion within one year (COT), and testing for isoniazid and rifampin susceptibility (TIRS) were predictors of 672 cases of TB in New York-Newark-Jersey City from 1993 to 2017. Guided by the epidemiological triad theory, this research was conducted using a secondary TB dataset from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Analysis of the data with the Poisson regression model on SPSS revealed that Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians were respectively 2.4 (95% Cl, 2.
Seeking Online Health Information for Aged Parents in China: A Multigroup Comparison of the Comprehensive Model of Information Seeking Based on eHealth Literacy Levels

People unable to use the Internet, especially most older adults in developing countries such as China, have difficulty accessing multiple benefits of seeking online health information. One possible solution is to motivate adult children to do so for their aged parents. Therefore, by incorporating variables related to aged parents and using children’s eHealth literacy to conduct a multigroup analysis, the Comprehensive Model of Information Seeking (CMIS) is extended to identify what factors motivate children to seek online age-related disease information for their aged parents. Three hundred eighty-one adults participated in an online survey in March 2020. Multigroup structural equation modeling was used to analyze the baseline and multigroup models. The results show that fear and information carrier characteristics are positively associated with information seeking, mediated by the utility. Furthermore, adults with low eHealth literacy are more likely to be motivated directly by information carrier characteristics, while the rest tend to be encouraged by fear and their parents’ general health status through the utility.
Cultivation of mushroom using the environment residues at home and maximizing the utilization of nutrition and health

This study included in the first part the cultivation of two species of the mushroom, namely Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus sajour caju on agrowastes. P. ostreatus showed the highest productivity in media composed of 25% rice straw + 75% sugarcane bagasse. The mushroom yield reached 378 g fruiting bodies / kg waste. The species P. sajour caju showed the highest productivity in media composed of 50% rice straw + 50 % sugarcane bagasse. The yield reached 356 g mushroom / kg waste. The second part was the biological assessment has been to the best of the breed in terms of productivity on the rats. The obtained data revealed that significant decrease in the level of cholesterol with the ratio of 5% mushroom better than 10%, while, showed that significant decrease in the level of triglycerides with the ratio of 10% mushroom better than 5%. Therefore, results showed that significant decrease in the level of GPT and glucose blood with the ratio of 10% mushroom better than 5%. These results suggest the utilization of agricultural residues available in Egypt for the production of mushrooms, which reduces the pollution of the environment and assist in the production of vital high value protein. significant level (0.05), while, there are not significant differences between S + 5% mushroom group and S + 10% mushroom group in Glucose level, where The difference between the means< LSD value ,11.2<23.845 at significant level (0.05). These results are in agreement with Kim et al they stated that the hypoglycemic effect of the polysaccharide, investigated in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats, decreased plasma glucose, total cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentrations by 49, 32, and 28%, respectively, and aspartate amino transferase activity by 20%. The results indicate the potential of this polysaccharide to prevent hyperglycemia in diabetic patients.
USE OF RADAR FOR MONITORING COLONIAL BURROW-NESTING SEABIRDS

We used high-frequency surveillance radar as a non-intrusive method to census nocturnal burrow-nesting Cassin's Auklet (Ptychoramphus aleuticus) on the world's largest colony, Triangle Island, British Columbia. In the largest subcolony, West Bay, the radar unit was operated 2200-0510 h nightly from 30 Apr.-11 May 1996 during the onset of hatching. Radar images were stored on video cassette for subsequent image analysis. We report total nightly activity based upon cumulative samples from the tapes at 30-s intervals to determine the percent of bird activity within a fixed area. Estimates of the average image size of an individual bird were used to develop conservative counts of birds in the sample area. Activity at the colony began approximately 1.5 h after sunset and ended at least 15 rain before sunrise. Activity levels increased over the study period and showed considerably nightly var- iation. Nightly activity was continuous at low levels through the sampling period from 30 Apr. to 3 May. Late evening peaks of activity around 2300 h were evident and tended to increase in intensity from 3 May onward. Nightly activity at the colony was correlated with the number of chicks hatched the following day. The maximum estimate of individual birds detected was 156,327 on 10 May. Radar has great potential to elucidate patterns of seasonal activity. We contrast and evaluate the use of radar and traditional methods based on burrow
Curriculum Learning With Infant Egocentric Videos

Infants possess a remarkable ability to rapidly learn and process visual inputs. As an infant’s mobility increases, so does the variety and dynamics of their visual inputs. Is this change in the properties of the visual inputs beneficial or even critical for the proper development of the visual system? To address this question, we used video recordings from infants wearing head-mounted cameras to train a variety of self-supervised learning models. Critically, we separated the infant data by age group and evaluated the importance of training with a curriculum aligned with developmental order. We found that initiating learning with the data from the youngest age group provided the strongest learning signal and led to the best learning outcomes in terms of downstream task performance. We then showed that the benefits of the data from the youngest age group are due to the slowness and simplicity of the visual experience. The results provide strong empirical evidence for the importance of the properties of the early infant experience and developmental progression in training. More broadly, our approach and findings take a noteworthy step towards reverse engineering the learning mechanisms in newborn brains using image-computable models from artificial intelligence.
