Hubungan Tari Kontemporer terhadap Kebugaran Kardiovaskuler pada Usia Dewasa

Dewasa ini banyak manusia yang lebih suka dan dituntut untuk menghabiskan waktunya untuk mendengarkan musik, menatap layar handphone, dan duduk di depan komputer selama berjam-jam sehingga tidak banyak melakukan olahraga atau aktivitas fisik. Untuk meningkatkan kebugaran fisik diperlukan aktivitas fisik yang cukup salah satunya adalah menari karena dapat dilakukan oleh semua orang tanpa memandang jenis kelamin dan menyenangkan untuk dilakukan. Dari sekian macam jenis tari, penulis mengangkat jenis tarian teatrikal seperti tari kontemporer, tari balet, tari modern, dan tari jazz karena belum banyak orang yang mengetahui jenis tari tersebut. Telaah sistematis ini telah meneliti beberapa artikel penelitian yang mengusung salah satu tari teatrikal yang telah disebutkan sebelumnya dan mencari hubungannya dengan kebugaran kardiovaskuler pada manusia dewasa. Terdapat total 31 artikel yang tekah ditelusuri dan sebanyak 12 artikel yang diinklusi sesuai dengan kriteria PICOS dalam telaah sistematis ini. Dari kedua belas artikel tersebut disebutkan bahwa ada peningkatan kemampuan kardiovaskuler pada subjek penelitian, karena para subjek sudah terbiasa untuk melakukan berbagai segmen gerakan yang sama, ditambah semakin ditingkatkannya tekanan dan beban kerja dalam menari. Selain itu tingkat kebugaran kardiovaskuler juga nampak berbeda pada setiap tingkatan penari.
Maternal breastfeeding is associated with offspring microbiome diversity; a secondary analysis of the MicrobeMom randomized control trial

Background Microbial dysbiosis in infancy can influence long-term health outcomes such as childhood obesity. The aim of this study is to explore relationships among maternal well-being during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the infant gut microbiome. Methods This is a secondary analysis of healthy pregnant women from the MicrobeMom study, a double-blind randomized control trial of maternal probiotic supplementation (Bifidobacterium breve 702258) versus placebo antenatally and up to 3 months postpartum. Maternal well-being was assessed using the WHO-5 well-being index at 16 weeks’ and 34 weeks’ gestation. Breastfeeding practices were recorded at discharge from hospital and at 1 month postpartum. Infant stool samples were obtained at 1 month of age. Next generation shotgun sequencing determined infant microbial diversity. Independent sample t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests informed adjusted regression analysis, which was adjusted for delivery mode, antibiotics during delivery, maternal age and body mass index (BMI), and probiotic vs. control study group. Results Women (n = 118) with at least one measure of well-being were on average 33 years (SD 3.93) of age and 25.09 kg/m2 (SD 3.28) BMI. Exclusive breastfeeding was initiated by 65% (n = 74). Any breastfeeding was continued by 69% (n = 81) after 1 month. In early and late pregnancy, 87% (n = 97/111) and 94% (n = 107/114) had high well-being scores. Well-being was not associated with infant microbial diversity at 1 month. In adjusted analysis, exclusive breastfeeding at discharge from hospital was associated with infant microbial beta diversity (PC2; 0.254, 95% CI 0.006, 0.038). At 1 month postpartum, any breastfeeding was associated with infant microbial alpha diversity (Shannon index; −0.241, 95% CI −0.498, −0.060) and observed species; (−0.325, 95% CI −0.307, −0.060), and infant microbial beta diversity (PC2; 0.319, 95% CI 0.013, 0.045). Exclusive breastfeeding at 1 month postpartum was associated with infant alpha diversity (Shannon index −0.364, 95% CI −0.573, −0.194; Simpson index 0.339, 95% CI 0.027, 0.091), and infant’s number of observed microbial species (−0.271, 95% CI −0.172, −0.037). Conclusion Breastfeeding practices at 1 month postpartum were associated with lower microbial diversity and observed species in infants at 1 month postpartum, which is potentially beneficial to allow greater abundance of Bifidobacterium.

Scalable Synthesis of Oxygen Vacancy-Rich Unsupported Iron Oxide for Efficient Thermocatalytic Conversion of Methane to Hydrogen and Carbon Nanomaterials

Thermocatalytic methane decomposition (TCMD) involving metal oxides is a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective strategy for scalable hydrogen fuel production compared to traditional methane steam reforming (MSR), as it requires less energy and produces fewer CO/CO2 emissions. However, the unsupported metal oxide catalysts (such as α-Fe2O3) that would be suited for this purpose exhibit poor performance in TCMD. To overcome this issue, a novel strategy was developed as a part of this work, whereby oxygen vacancies (OVs) were introduced into unsupported α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs). Systematic characterization of the obtained materials through analytical techniques demonstrated that mesoporous nanostructured unsupported α-Fe2O3 with abundant oxygen vacancies (OV-rich α-Fe2O3 NPs) could be obtained by direct thermal decomposition of ferric nitrate at different calcination temperatures (500, 700, 900, and 1100 °C) under ambient conditions. The thermocatalytic activity of the resulting OV-rich α-Fe2O3 NPs was assessed by evaluating the methane conversion, hydrogen formation rate, and amount of carbon deposited. The TCMD results revealed that 900 °C was the most optimal calcination temperature, as it led to the highest methane conversion (22.5%) and hydrogen formation rate (47.0 × 10−5 mol H2 g−1 min−1) after 480 min. This outstanding thermocatalytic performance of OV-rich α-Fe2O3 NPs is attributed to the presence of abundant OVs on their surfaces, thus providing effective active sites for methane decomposition. Moreover, the proposed strategy can be cost-effectively scaled up for industrial applications, whereby unsupported metal oxide NPs can be employed for energy-efficient thermocatalytic CH4 decomposition into hydrogen fuel and carbon nanomaterials.
Fracture Toughness for Dry Slab Avalanches

Dry slab avalanches release by propagating shear fractures. Since alpine snow is a quasi-brittle strainsoftening material, it is implied that fracture toughness not shear strength is the fundamental quantity related to instability. In this paper, the flIst estimates of fracture toughness for dry snow slabs are given based on field data in relation to the fundamental fracture mechanics size effect law and mechanical properties of snow slabs.
Mechanisms of Lung and Intestinal Microbiota and Innate Immune Changes Caused by Pathogenic Enterococcus Faecalis Promoting the Development of Pediatric Pneumonia

Bacterial pneumonia is the main cause of illness and death in children under 5 years old. We isolated and cultured pathogenic bacteria LE from the intestines of children with pneumonia and replicated the pediatric pneumonia model using an oral gavage bacterial animal model. Interestingly, based on 16srRNA sequencing, we found that the gut and lung microbiota showed the same imbalance trend, which weakened the natural resistance of this area. Further exploration of its mechanism revealed that the disruption of the intestinal mechanical barrier led to the activation of inflammatory factors IL-6 and IL-17, which promoted the recruitment of ILC-3 and the release of IL-17 and IL-22, leading to lung inflammation. The focus of this study is on the premise that the gut and lung microbiota exhibit similar destructive changes, mediating the innate immune response to promote the occurrence of pneumonia and providing a basis for the development and treatment of new drugs for pediatric pneumonia.
The Alaska vegetation classification.

Viereck, L.A. ; Dyrness, C.T. ; Batten, A.R. ; Wenzlick, K.J. 1992. The Alaska vegetation classification. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-286. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 278 p. The Alaska vegetation classification presented here is a comprehensive, statewide system that has been under development since 1976. The classification is based, as much as possible, on the characteristics of the vegetation itself and is designed to categorize existing vegetation, not potential vegetation. A hierarchical system with five levels of resolution is used for classifying Alaska vegetation. The system, an agglomerative one, starts with 888 known Alaska plant communities, which are listed and referenced. At the broadest level of resolution, the system contains three formations-forest, scrub, and herbaceous vegetation. In addition to the classification, this report contains a key to levels I, II, and III; complete descriptions of all level IV units; and a glossary of terms used.
Complexation of Terpenes for the Production of New Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Molecules and Their Encapsulation in Order to Improve Their Activities

Microbiological risk associated with abiotic surfaces is one of the most important issues worldwide. Surface contaminations by pathogenic bacterial biofilms or adherent cells affect a number of sectors, including medical services, food industries, human services, and the environment. There is a need to synthesize or to set up novel biosource-based antimicrobials. Terpenes such as limonene carvacrol are usually found in essential oils and have potent antimicrobial activities. However, the direct use of these molecules is often inefficient due to their low water solubility, loss of volatile compounds, thermal degradation, oxidation, and toxicity. The organic synthesis of stable metal complexes based on terpene ligands seems to be a promising issue, since it can allow for and promote the use of terpenes and challenge the drawbacks of these molecules. Spray drying could be the most suitable method for encapsulating metal complexes based on terpene ligands to protect and enhance their activity against bacterial biofilms. The goal of this review is to discuss the microbiological risk associated with pathogenic bacterial biofilm and the organic synthesis of novel antimicrobial complexes based on terpene ligands. In addition, this review explores how to improve their bioactivities and characteristics using a formulation based on encapsulation.
Nonlinear Resonance in Dual-Frequency Paul Trap on Account of Hexapole Field Aberrations

Nonlinear phenomena around the primary resonance on account of hexapole field aberrations are being investigated in a dual-frequency Paul trap. The dynamics is underlined by an external sinusoidal driving force, collisional damping, and odd-order hexapole potential field. The pseudo-potential approximation-based equation of motion can be encapsulated by a damped-driven Duffing-type equation with a quadratic nonlinearity. Using harmonic balance technique, the nature of the resonance curves and axial displacement curves are found to be profoundly affected by the voltage and frequency ratios in the trap.
Update on metabolomic findings in COPD patients

COPD is a heterogeneous disorder that shows diverse clinical presentations (phenotypes and “treatable traits”) and biological mechanisms (endotypes). This heterogeneity implies that to carry out a more personalised clinical management, it is necessary to classify each patient accurately. With this objective, and in addition to clinical features, it would be very useful to have well-defined biological markers. The search for these markers may either be done through more conventional laboratory and hypothesis-driven techniques or relatively blind high-throughput methods, with the omics approaches being suitable for the latter. Metabolomics is the science that studies biological processes through their metabolites, using various techniques such as gas and liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. The most relevant metabolomics studies carried out in COPD highlight the importance of metabolites involved in pathways directly related to proteins (peptides and amino acids), nucleic acids (nitrogenous bases and nucleosides), and lipids and their derivatives (especially fatty acids, phospholipids, ceramides and eicosanoids). These findings indicate the relevance of inflammatory-immune processes, oxidative stress, increased catabolism and alterations in the energy production. However, some specific findings have also been reported for different COPD phenotypes, demographic characteristics of the patients, disease progression profiles, exacerbations, systemic manifestations and even diverse treatments. Unfortunately, the studies carried out to date have some limitations and shortcomings and there is still a need to define clear metabolomic profiles with clinical utility for the management of COPD and its implicit heterogeneity. Tweetable abstract The clinical presentation of COPD is very heterogeneous. We need to improve diagnosis and classify each patient accurately (personalised medicine). The main metabolomic findings in COPD, its diverse phenotypes and its associated factors are reviewed. https://bit.ly/45tDLaO
BERT Representation for Arabic Information Retrieval: A Comparative Study

: Information is rapidly growing in online documents and social media in all languages. Retrieval of information from a language is a high-level task. However, Information Retrieval has become more important in research and commercial development. Presently only a few tools were available in the market for retrieval. Each language has its unique way of pronunciation and language structure. Arabic has a complex morphology. This made it difficult in the advancement of this field. A typical IR model is required to understand similar words in the matching process. In this paper, we presented a comparative study on recent approaches in Arabic Information Retrieval. We implemented and compared all existing approaches for Arabic IR with Arabic datasets. The information retrieval used an Arabic dataset. We also introduced a dictionary, an Arabic Lemmatizer.It contains Arabic words collected from several Arabic books and websites. We compare the performance of different lemmatization techniques. Then we conduct a series of experiments to compare different approaches to Arabic IR. Furthermore, Arabic BERT examined the superior performance with the existing approach's performance. The experimental result showed BM25 and multilingual BERT ranked most for tasks. The Large Arabic Dataset scored an accuracy of 89% in information retrieval.
What drives project success in online labour markets? A bilateral perspective on freelancers and clients

ABSTRACT Despite some advantages over traditional (offline) labour markets – such as lower search costs, better matching and improved monitoring – online labour markets (OLMs) have not taken off as initially expected. In this paper, we study the challenges of managing projects in OLMs and discuss factors that limit perceived success both from the perspective of the employer and the freelancer. Using psychological contract theory, we theorise how common OLM features including contracts with virtual monitoring, multi-freelancer projects, and simultaneous projects by a client trigger the perception of psychological contract breach among OLM participants and reduce perceived project success for both participants. We test these hypotheses using an extensive dataset with more than 143,000 transactions on the world’s largest freelancing platform, Upwork, and find that – contrary to predictions from agency theory – projects equipped with strict freelancer monitoring (hourly-pay contracts) and projects enabling peer comparison (multi-freelancer projects or multiple simultaneous projects), lead to lower perceived project success both from the freelancer’s and the client’s perspective. Our work implies that transactions on online labour markets should not be viewed solely as agency relations, and that some features that supposedly reduce agency costs and improve efficiency on OLMs come at the cost of triggering the perception of psychological contract breach.
The Effect of Sepsis and Septic Shock on the Viscoelastic Properties of Clot Quality and Mass Using Thromboelastometry: A Prospective Observational Study

Abstract Background Sepsis is associated with wide variable coagulation abnormalities. Thromboelastography (TEG) effectively measures the viscoelastic properties of the clots. This study aims to illustrate the viscoelastic properties of clot quality and mass in sepsis and septic shock patients using TEG, as an effective tool over standard coagulation tests. Materials and methods A single-center, prospective observational study was conducted. 50 patients each meeting the criteria for sepsis and septic shock, and a healthy group of 30 patients was included in the study. Blood samples were obtained and analyzed for standard coagulation tests, platelet count, fibrinogen, and TEG study. Results A total of 130 patients were included. Septic shock patients had a higher sequential (sepsis-related) organ failure score. Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) were increased significantly as compared to the sepsis and control groups. TEG markers such as alpha angle, and maximum amplitude (MA) were significantly prolonged while reaction time (R time), was significantly shortened in the sepsis group as compared to the healthy group, suggestive of a hypercoagulable state in sepsis patients. While in septic shock patients, MA and Lysis Index 30 (LY 30) were significantly prolonged and, R time was significantly shortened compared to all other groups. Even though LY30 in sepsis patients was found to be within the normal range (p < 0.001), 18% of patients had prolonged LY30 indicating a hypercoagulable state with impaired fibrinolysis. Conclusion Thromboelastography, as a point-of-care test combined with conventional coagulation tests can provide additional, clinically relevant information on coagulopathy, and outcome, and thus help guide treatment modality in sepsis and septic shock-induced coagulopathy.

A Review on UAV-Based Applications for Plant Disease Detection and Monitoring

Remote sensing technology is vital for precision agriculture, aiding in early issue detection, resource management, and environmentally friendly practices. Recent advances in remote sensing technology and data processing have propelled unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into valuable tools for obtaining detailed data on plant diseases with high spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution. Given the growing body of scholarly research centered on UAV-based disease detection, a comprehensive review and analysis of current studies becomes imperative to provide a panoramic view of evolving methodologies in plant disease monitoring and to strategically evaluate the potential and limitations of such strategies. This study undertakes a systematic quantitative literature review to summarize existing literature and discern current research trends in UAV-based applications for plant disease detection and monitoring. Results reveal a global disparity in research on the topic, with Asian countries being the top contributing countries (43 out of 103 papers). World regions such as Oceania and Africa exhibit comparatively lesser representation. To date, research has largely focused on diseases affecting wheat, sugar beet, potato, maize, and grapevine. Multispectral, reg-green-blue, and hyperspectral sensors were most often used to detect and identify disease symptoms, with current trends pointing to approaches integrating multiple sensors and the use of machine learning and deep learning techniques. Future research should prioritize (i) development of cost-effective and user-friendly UAVs, (ii) integration with emerging agricultural technologies, (iii) improved data acquisition and processing efficiency (iv) diverse testing scenarios, and (v) ethical considerations through proper regulations.
Atypical Case Presentation of Toxic Shock Syndrome

Toxic shock syndrome is a rare and life-threatening condition that is typically caused by group A Streptococcus or Staphylococcus aureus. It classically presents with fever, hypotension, sunburn-like rash, and multi-organ system failure. We describe a case of a 70-year-old male with this condition who had an atypical presentation of left chest wall pain and left shoulder pain after two mechanical falls along with hemodynamic stability. The patient rapidly deteriorated on his second hospital floor day, resulting in a higher complexity of care and management in the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite a number of resuscitative measures, therapies, and multidisciplinary care, the patient unfortunately passed away within 24 hours of his ICU care.
Dynamics of a threatened orchid in flooded wetlands

One of the three largest metapopulations of the western prairie fringed orchid (Platanthera praeclara) occurs on the Sheyenne National Grassland, in southeastern North Dakota. Our study was initiated in 1993 to quantify the effect of flooding on individual orchid plants. In 1993, 66 plants (33 flowering and 33 vegetative) growing in standing water were permanently marked; their status was checked at the end of the growing season in 1993 and in subsequent growing seasons (1994-1996). Most (70%) of the flowering plants persisted through the 1993 growing season. Those that did not were shorter (P = 0.001) and had a higher percentage of their stalk submerged through the growing season (P < 0.02). Only one vegetative plant persisted through the 1993 growing season. The ability of flowering plants to persist in standing water was attributed to their greater height which allowed some portion of the plant to remain above the water and produce photosynthates needed to produce next season's shoot bud and immature root system. Flowering plants persisted through the first growing season with as much as 75% of their stalk submerged in water. In 1994, only four plants reappeared; in 1995 only one plant reappeared aboveground. None of the plants that did not persist through 1993 reappeared in 1994 or 1995. By 1996 none of the marked plants were observed aboveground. Although flooding is detrimental, especially to the survival of vegetative plants, its impact must be viewed in a larger context and include data from several years. It is likely that flooding creates suitable moisture conditions on higher landscape positions, provides an important mechanism for seed dispersal, and is one of several natural catastrophic events that plays a significant role in perpetuating these wetland systems and associated species.
