Haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are used for transplantation to reconstruct the haematopoietic pathways in humans receiving severe chemotherapy. However, the characteristics of canine HSPCs, such as specific surface antigens and gene expression profiles, are still unclear. This study aimed to characterise the haematopoietic ability and gene expression profiles of canine bone marrow HSPCs in healthy dogs. In this study, the CD34 positive (CD34+) cells were defined as classical HSPCs, CD34+/CD45 diminished (CD45dim) cells as more enriched HSPCs, and whole viable cells as controls. Haematopoietic abilities and gene expression profiles were evaluated using a colony-forming unit assay and RNA-sequencing analysis. Canine CD34+/CD45dim cells exhibited a significantly higher haematopoietic colony formation ability and expressed more similarity in the gene expression profiles to human and mouse HSPCs than those of the other cell fractions. Furthermore, the canine CD34+/CD45dim cells expressed candidate cell surface antigens necessary to define the canine haematopoietic hierarchy roadmap. These results indicate that the canine CD34+/CD45dim cells express the HSPC characteristics more than the other cell fractions, thereby suggesting that these cells have the potential to be used for studying haematopoietic stem cells in dogs.

Chemical communication is widely used by animals to exchange information in their environment, through the emission and detection of semiochemicals to maintain social organization and hierarchical rules in groups. The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is one of the main detectors of these messages, and its inflammation has been linked to behavioral changes because it potentially prevents molecule detection and, consequently, the translation of the signal into action. Our previous study highlighted the link between the intensity of vomeronasal sensory epithelium (VNSE) inflammation, probably induced by farm contaminant exposure, and intraspecific aggression in pigs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cellular and molecular changes that occur during vomeronasalitis in 76 vomeronasal sensorial epithelia from 38 intensive-farmed pigs. Histology was used to evaluate the condition of each VNO and classify inflammation as healthy, weak, moderate, or strong. These data were compared to the thickness of the sensorial epithelium and the number of type 1 vomeronasal receptor cells using anti-Gαi2 protein immunohistochemistry (IHC) and analysis. The presence of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) in the areas surrounding the VNO was also analyzed by IHC and compared to inflammation intensity since its role as a molecule transporter to sensory neurons has been well-established. Of the 76 samples, 13 (17%) were healthy, 31 (41%) presented with weak inflammation, and 32 (42%) presented with moderate inflammation. No severe inflammation was observed. Epithelial thickness and the number of Gαi2+ cells were inversely correlated with inflammation intensity (Kruskal–Wallis and ANOVA tests, p < 0.0001), while OBP expression in areas around the VNO was increased in inflamed VNO (Kruskal–Wallis test, p = 0.0094), regardless of intensity. This study showed that inflammation was associated with a reduction in the thickness of the sensory epithelium and Gαi2+ cell number, suggesting that this condition can induce different degrees of neuronal loss. This finding could explain how vomeronasalitis may prevent the correct functioning of chemical communication, leading to social conflict with a potential negative impact on welfare, which is one of the most important challenges in pig farming.

Published: September 2022

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is among the most relevant and widespread immunosuppressive agents, which can severely damage poultry farming by causing direct losses, predisposing the host to secondary diseases and reducing the efficacy of vaccination protocols against other infections. IBDV has thus been the object of intense control activities, largely based on routine vaccination. However, the need for protecting animals from the infection in the first period of the production cycle, when the bursa susceptibility is higher, clashes with the blanketing effect of maternally derived antibodies. To overcome this issue, other strategies have been developed besides live attenuated vaccines, including vector vaccines and immune complex (icx) ones. The present study aims to investigate, in field conditions, the efficacy of these approaches in preventing IBDV infection in laying chickens vaccinated with either live attenuated, vector or immune complex (icx) vaccines. For this purpose, a multicentric study involving 481 farms located in 11 European countries was organized and IBDV infection diagnosis and strain characterization was performed at 6 weeks of age using a molecular approach. Vaccine strains were commonly detected in flocks vaccinated with live or icx vaccines. However, a significantly higher number of field strains (characterized as very virulent IBDVs) was detected in flocks vaccinated with vector vaccines, suggesting their lower capability of preventing bursal colonization. Different from vector vaccines, live and icx ones have a marked bursal tropism. It can thus be speculated that vaccine virus replication in these sites could limit vvIBDV replication by direct competition or because of a more effective activation of innate immunity. Although such different behavior doesn't necessarily affect clinical protection, further studies should be performed to evaluate if vvIBDV replication could still be associated with subclinical losses and/or for viral circulation in a “vaccinated environment” could drive viral evolution and favor the emergence of vaccine-escape variants.

Published: September 2022

Estimating the microbiological quality of pet food is essential in providing healthy and safe foods to pets. The aim of this study was to assess the microbiological safety of pet food marketed in Lebanon, namely cat and dog products. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have been conducted in Lebanon nor the Middle East region with reference to pet food quality. Lebanese market was screened and a total of 165 dry and canned pet food products were identified, collected and analyzed for their load of total aerobic microbial count, Enterobacteriaceae species, yeasts and molds, and for the presence of Salmonella and Listeria species. Dry pet food products had higher contamination level compared to canned ones. In terms of non-conformity to the European commission regulations, out of the 165 brands, 11 (7%) had a total aerobic microbial count above 106 cfu/g, and 27 (16%) exceeded 3 × 102 cfu/g as a maximum limit of presumptive Enterobacteriaceae. Among the dry brands, 8 out of 66 (12%) had a contamination level of yeasts and molds above 104 cfu/g. Presumptive Salmonella spp. was detected in 68 (41%) and presumptive Listeria spp. in 106 (64%) of brands. These alarming results necessitates setting and monitoring microbiological standards for pet food in Lebanon. This study contributes as well to the building of a database for knowledge development regarding the potential contamination of pet food by the abovementioned microorganisms.

Published: September 2022

Purpose: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) management is complex and challenging, and therefore, requires a multidisciplinary approach. Whilst pharmacists may play a key role as the first point of contact for patients with initial symptoms or disease relapse, there is scant literature on pharmacists’ knowledge in IBD management. We conducted a survey to explore pharmacists’ knowledge and their perception of pharmacists and other healthcare professionals’ roles in managing patients with IBD.Design and Methodology: An online survey was distributed to pharmacists through professional organisations. The survey included questions about demographic information, concepts related to IBD management and the roles of pharmacists and healthcare professionals in managing patients with IBD.Findings: Fifty two respondents completed the survey. The overall knowledge score for the majority of respondents was categorised as ‘low’ (25-50%) to ‘average’ (51-75%). IBD concept that demonstrated the highest level of accuracy in knowledge scores among pharmacists was the importance of vaccination in IBD (94.2%). Pharmacists who had exposure to patients with IBD  demonstrated better knowledge scores compared to those who did not have any exposure to IBD patients in their practice (p = 0.005). Furthermore, General Practitioners (GPs) were perceived as the key care providers to IBD patients, whilst pharmacists considered themselves as important in providing medication related information to patients. Conclusion: This study indicated that pharmacists’ knowledge of IBD and its’ management was suboptimal, but with education and training there are opportunities for pharmacists to play a more active role in managing patients with IBD.

Gold Springs Mining District, Iron County, Utah, and Lincoln County, Nevada
Authors: Perry Lee I.
Published: September 2022

Gold and silver mineralization in the Gold Springs mining district on the Utah-Nevada border is restricted to veins in Tertiary volcanic rocks. Mining began in 1897 and continued intermittently until the early 1940's. The principal mines have been the Jennie, Little Buck, Snowflake, Independence, Aetna, and Jumbo. Three mines had mills where ores were beneficiated. However, these mills were primitive and met with varying success. Few records were kept; nevertheless the district is credited with producing 9,335 ounces of gold, 40,279 ounces of silver, 12,031 pounds of copper, and 19,268 pounds of lead. The past production and this study of the surface and the underground workings indicate that the ore deposits are small but high in grade.

The policy of interethnic reconciliation characterizes postwar history of the 20th century and underlies the Euro integration process. The achievement of interethnic reconciliation is considered to be an important element of maintenance of stability and security in the modern world. Working out of this matter is characteristic feature of present state of science, public conscience guided by respect for universal values, European integration and globalization. Although the process is very significant there’s no definition of this matter in majority of encyclopedias and dictionaries that was caused by a relative novelty of the discipline of the peace studies. Interethnic reconciliation is a necessary component of successful peace building that can be encouraged by state structures but should be carried out through institutions of civil society and that consists in lasting transition process from negative (unstable, fragile) peace to positive one (just, lasting and enduring peace), in establishment of reciprocal dialogue, in consent and acceptance of peace settlement terms, in deep reconsideration of bilateral relations, a renunciation of revanche, overcoming of historical myths and negative stereotypes, mutual forgiveness, peace culture education, working out of cooperation projects and having for an object elimination of reasons being at the bottom of confrontation as well as prevention of recurring conflicts. Completion of formation of nations, democratic regime and community of civilizational values are important preconditions for the achievement of interethnic reconciliation.

The Implication of Political Governance in Preventing Fraud of Indonesian SOEs
Authors: Geraldina Ira , Walad Javier Rasyadputra , Syahputra Rafly Raditya
Published: September 2022

Objective - This study examines one of the political governance pillars, namely the Party's cadre management system, on fraud in Indonesian SOEs. In the context of Indonesia, SOEs' executives are not officially the cadre of the Party, but some of them have a political connection to the ruling Party. We use BOC's Duality and BOCs political connection as proxies of the Party's cadre management system due to their potential affiliation to the ruling Party.
Methodology/Technique - This study used 86 observations of SOEs listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2015-2019. Using panel data estimation, this study surprisingly finds that BOC's Duality has a negative effect on fraudulent financial statements.
Findings – The political connection positively affects the fraudulent financial statement. These findings suggest that independent boards with dual positions are incentivized to maintain their reputation, thereby decreasing fraudulent financial statements.
Novelty - However, independent boards with political connections cannot overcome their conflicts of interest, so they cannot properly carry out their supervisory functions. These findings become the main contribution of this study that explains the implication of political governance in preventing fraud in Indonesian SOEs.

Overall Satisfaction with the Emergency Remote Teaching during the COVID-19 Pandemic from the Perspective of Higher Education Students in Portugal
Authors: Albuquerque Fábio , Santos Paula Gomes dos , Martinho Carla
Published: September 2022

Objective - The COVID-19 pandemic led to an abrupt transition to online classes in higher education, with no consideration for the specific students' conditions in Portugal and other countries. Therefore, this study aims to assess the students' perspectives on online learning classes during the lockdown in 2020.
Methodology/Technique - The analysis is based on 2,107 valid answers from students of seven Portuguese higher education institutions that took synchronous online classes. Principal component analysis and binary logistic regression were the main quantitative methods used.
Findings – This study identified five factors that, in all cases, significantly explain the students' perspective on the transition to online classes. These factors include not only pedagogical matters (teachers' overall quality) but also elements related to personal or motivational students' characteristics (performance and autonomy; constraints and obstacles to socialization; self-confidence while attending online classes) and technological issues (Internet access conditions). Notwithstanding, self-confidence is not a relevant factor for students with technical limitations concerning infrastructural matters.
Novelty - Besides the contributions of this study, it is important to emphasize its relevance by combining the critical success factors in distance learning with different demographic variables, which are usually less explored by this literature. Notwithstanding, less robust and inconsistent results were found for those variables.

Understanding the effect of cosmetics brand perception, halal label, and product composition on habitual buying behaviour through perceived price
Authors: Baron Ihil S. , Melania Melania , Agustina Hellya
Published: September 2022

Objective - The development of technology also encourages the creation of new products, which makes people more selective in choosing the brand, and halal products consist of natural or organic ingredients by Islamic law. The further study aimed to determine the effect of brand perception, halal label, and product composition of cosmetics on habitual buying behaviour. Besides, this study also tests the mediating effect of perceived price.
Methodology/Technique - This research was conducted on 169 respondents using open-ended questions. The survey sample is customers willing to take a field survey and come to the three largest cosmetic stores. The reason for choosing data collection on cosmetics stores in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, is the ease of access to this business. Second, Banjarmasin is a city with a number and quality of these cosmetic shops. It had specific difficulted regarding the customers who came to the store, and it seemed impossible to express the population size clearly. For data analysis, this study used SPSS ver.26 and determined the mediation effect using PROCESS macro version 4 model 4.
Findings – The results of this study indicate that the most influential variables are product composition and halal labels. Meanwhile, brand perception contributes only 1% and is negative. This is because healthy and safe product composition will increase consumer confidence to buy repeatedly. In addition, the inclusion of halal labels is the essence of consumers and producers. This halal label intends to provide a sense of security for consumers and guarantee that the products produced are halal and ethical. Price can represent quality and status, while people tend not to pay attention to the brands.
Novelty - The empirical results of this study stated several factors that cause brand perception to have little effect, such as cultural, social, personal, and psychological factors.

Published: September 2022

Objective - The World Health Organization claims that in almost every nation, including Malaysia, the number of persons over 60 rises more quickly than in any other age group. A significant worry for health and quality of life is how to mature successfully and accept well-being. Considerable interest is also being shown in well-being-related topics. As a result, this study will look at the social variables, such as social networks, social support, and social activities, that can significantly boost elderly wellbeing.
Methodology/Technique - Using purposive sampling techniques, 200 structured questionnaires were distributed to Malaysian seniors ages 60 and above. However, only 150 usable questionnaires were completed. This work examined the research model using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).
Findings – The results show that social networks significantly influence elderly well-being. However, no significant correlations were discovered between social activities, social support, and elderly well-being. Furthermore, the research model explains 63.1% of the substantial variation in elderly well-being. This study used the social theory of aging to comprehend the social elements that affect the well-being of the elderly.
Novelty - The health of Malaysia's senior population has long-term economic and social advantages, making this study crucial. As a result, it needs to be significantly upgraded and improved by putting applicable rules and standards in place.

Published: September 2022

Slaked lime finds wide application in agriculture. For convenient use lime is often packed in plastic bags. The common equipment for these purposes has a number of disadvantages. The article presents the design of an experimental machine for packing slaked lime in polyethylene containers, which ensures high efficiency and has a wide range and accuracy of packing by weight. As a result of experiments, regression dependence was obtained and an assessment was made of the rotational frequency impact of the machine working body, depending on the design parameters of the mechanism. It has been established that the dominant factor affecting the efficiency value is the rotation frequency of the working body n and the lowest factor of impact is the machine outlet pipe diameter.

Published: September 2022

The aerodynamic air ducts in the poultry house significantly affect the poultry keeping and ensure air quality. Stagnant zones ultimately worsen the quality of output and many other factors that contribute to this. To improve the aerodynamics in the poultry house, authors proposed to install exhaust ventilation equipment on the upper line – 2.18 m above floor level. New scientific and practical results of CFD modeling show improved aerodynamic characteristics near exhaust fans. On the plane of the room at a height of 0.7 m from the floor level, the average air velocity is 0.696 m/s. In certain areas the air velocity is kept at 1.5 m/s. When the exhaust fans are located on the upper line, the so-called "tunnel effect" is created, which allows, in the warm period of the year, not to use additional equipment of the microclimate system to create a tunnel ventilation system.

Published: September 2022

Sputtering-made magnetic thin films with metal–ceramic multilayer structures have been reported to achieve excellent magnetic properties and/or new functions for various magnetic materials. However, sputtering-made magnetic films tend to have 10 or fewer layers because the main applications of thin films, such as magnetic sensors, recording heads and recording media, require thin films thinner than 1 μm. This paper reports an Fe–Co/glass multilayer thick-film that has an approximate thickness of 10 μm (above 100 layers). This thick-film was prepared via pulsed laser deposition using several composite targets (two- or three-layer targets) consisting of an Fe–Co alloy (or Fe–Co sheet) and a glass plate. The fabrication of an Fe–Co single-layer film and a glass single-layer film was examined to determine the optimal defocus rate for the composite target. Then, we confirmed that the use of a [glass plate]/[Fe–Co alloy] two-layer target enabled the local formation of a [20 nm thick Fe–Co]/[10 nm thick glass) laminated structure with approximately 130 layers. An Fe–Co/glass multilayer structure was formed by using a three-layer target of a [Fe–Co sheet]/[glass plate]/[metal alloy]. Nonetheless, the results also suggest that large glass droplets should be removed in future work to create homogeneous multilayer thick-films.
Magnetic field microscope using high-sensitivity giant magneto-resistance sensor with AC field modulation

Published: September 2022

A new high-sensitivity giant magneto-resistance (GMR) sensor system was developed and applied to a magnetic field microscope for which a magneto-impedance (MI) sensor was used as a high-sensitivity magnetic probe. The GMR sensor system achieved a detectivity of 13 pT/√Hz at 100 Hz. The sensing limit and spatial resolution were examined compared with the MI sensor. A 100 Hz AC magnetic field from a patterned Cu line was imaged. The GMR sensor showed better spatial resolution than that of the MI sensor owing to its small sensor unit size. The sensing limit was the same for both the GMR sensor and the MI sensor. This limit is due to ambient magnetic field noise. The GMR sensor could reduce this noise by differential detection using two sensor units. These results suggest that the GMR sensor system has advantages for application to the magnetic field microscopes compared with the MI sensor.

Storage phosphor materials can be used to record an incident radiation dose, and they are often used for personal dose monitoring applications and imaging plates (IPs). Conventionally, the storage phosphors for IPs are mainly used in the form of powders and needle crystals while IPs using translucent ceramics have recently attracted much attention. In this paper, we review the recent studies of translucent ceramic storage phosphors for IPs in addition to conventional storage phosphors.
Probing the bandgap and effects of t-BN domains in h-BN neutron detectors
Authors: Tingsuwatit Attasit , Li Jing , Lin Jingyu , Jiang Hongxing
Published: September 2022

Thermal neutron detectors in a lateral scheme were fabricated from a 70 μm thick freestanding B-10 enriched hexagonal BN (h-10BN). Two sets of channel peaks corresponding to the neutron capture by 10B occurring in h-10BN comprising turbostratic domains (t-10BN) have been recognized in the nuclear reaction pulsed height spectrum, from which a bandgap of 5.5 eV was directly deduced for t-10BN. Improved device performance over the prior state-of-the-art implies that the transport properties in the lateral plane of t-BN domains are sufficiently good and their presence in h-BN is not a showstopper for the further advancement of h-BN detector technologies.

Published: September 2022

This work presents the hardware demonstrator of a secure encryption system based on synchronised Chua chaotic circuits. In particular, the presented encryption system comprises two Chua circuits that are synchronised using a dedicated bidirectional synchronisation line. One of them forms part of the transmitter, while the other of the receiver. Both circuits are tuned to operate in a chaotic mode. The output (chaotic) signal of the first circuit (transmitter) is digitised and then combined with the message to be encrypted, through an XOR gate. The second Chua circuit (receiver) is used for the decryption; the output chaotic signal of this circuit is similarly digitised and combined with the encrypted message to retrieve the original message. Our hardware demonstrator proves that this method can be used in order to provide extremely lightweight real-world, chaos-based cryptographic solutions.

This work was accepted for and presented as a hardware demo at the 2022 IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST 2022), held from 27 to 30 June 2022, in Washington, DC, USA.

Achieving Low-Noise, High-Bandwidth, Nanoscale-Resolution Position Sensing with GMR Sensors
Authors: Joseph Tim John , Kartik V
Published: September 2022

Nanometer-resolution position sensing is a critical requirement in several precision applications such as Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), especially over large bandwidths. Giant magnetoresistance-based (GMR) sen?sors have shown great promise for this; however, they exhibit significantly higher 1/f noise even over large band?widths, which limits the achievable SNR. Therefore, the sensing system needs to be designed at the system-level in order to minimize excess intrinsic noise generation and transmission, as well as external noise pickup. This article, both analytically and experimentally, investigates the noise characteristics of the GMR sensor and its readout circuit components, and their effect on SNR. A general process for designing a low-noise high-bandwidth readout circuit, applicable not just to GMR sensors but also to other high?1/f-noise sensors, is presented. A resolution of 2.5 nm over a bandwidth of 100 kHz is demonstrated on an AFM nanopositioner, a ten-fold improvement over previously reported performance and comparable to other state-of?the-art, but more complex, position sensing schemes. The readout scheme is simple to implement using COTS com?ponents and easily extendable to higher bandwidths, unlike other schemes, such as modulation/demodulation, where the requirement for increasingly higher carrier frequencies renders further improvements in bandwidth impractical.

A high equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) active phased array antenna system has been designed and experimentally verified at the 28 GHz band. The phased array employs Gallium Nitride (GaN) based radio frequency front-ends with 31 dBm output power in transmit mode and 3.5 dB noise figure in receive mode. A fully metallic gapwaveguide technology has been employed in order to achieve an efficient heat dissipation per aperture area of the array as well as low-loss array antenna elements that are easily manufactured. The phased array is realized by sub-arraying an 8×8 slot array antenna with horizontal polarization. The presented antenna system is capable of analog beamforming in the range of ±60 degrees in E-plane. The presented high-bandwidth phased array antenna system is a potential candidate for high power and compact size 5G base station antennas for wireless communications requiring high temperature stability at the millimeterwave bands.

A Trustworthy View on XAI Method Evaluation
Authors: LI DING , Liu Yan , Huang Jun , Wang Zerui
Published: September 2022

As the demand grows to develop end-user trust in AI models, practitioners start to build and configure customized XAI (Explainable Artificial Intelligence) methods. The challenge is the lack of systematic evaluation of the newly proposed XAI method. As a result, it limits the confidence of XAI explanation in practice. In this paper, we follow a process of XAI method development and define two metrics in terms of consistency and efficiency in guiding the evaluation of trustworthy explanations. We demonstrate the development of a new XAI method in feature interactions called Mean-Centroid Preddiff, which analyzes and explains the feature importance order by a clustering algorithm. Following the process, we perform cross-validation on Mean-Centroid Preddiff with existing XAI methods. They show comparable consistency and gain in computation efficiency. The practice helps to adopt the core activities in the trustworthy evaluation of a new XAI method with rigorous cross-validation on consistency and efficiency.

The review presents the main data on the problem of cryoglobulinemic vasculitis associated with HCV infection. The options for the course are considered, and modern diagnostic criteria, the choice of tactics, and the effectiveness of various treatment regimens are presented. The use of modern antiviral drugs makes it possible to achieve the eradication of the virus in 95 % of patients. However, in some patients, clinical and immunologic markers of vasculitis persist despite viral clearance. The article discusses the concept that the persistence of B-cell clones after achieving a sustained virological response may underlie the pathogenesis of HCV-independent CV reactivation.

The aim: The current Cross-Sectional study investigated the psychosocial effects on recovered Covid 19 patients in a General Hospital in Greece. It was investigated the impact of Covid 19 on levels of social support, loneliness, resilience & PTSD. Furthermore, the correlation between all the above factors was studied.
Materials and methods: 107 adult patients participated. The questionnaire was fulfilled after signature of consensus form. This happened after their discharge from the hospital, without exclusion of infected on previous time. The questionnaire included 5 particular sections: a) Socio-demographic characteristics, b) social support scale, c) IES Covid 19 scale, d) UCLA scale e) CD-Risc scale. In terms of statistical analysis, the comparison between two groups of quantitative variables was conducted through Student’s t-test. Related to examination of relationship between two quantitative variables was used Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r). The Statistical analysis package used was SPSS 22.
Results: The 55,1% of sample were women, married (57,9 %) and (39,3%) university graduates. Moreover, the rate of overweight was significant (39,3%). Related to psychosocial factors, observed high level of resilience (70,6), moderate level of loneliness (39,1) and 57,9% of participants showed moderate social support. At last, PTSD level as a result of Covid 19 was moderate (33,5). A strong correlation was observed between higher mental resilience and lower feelings of loneliness.
Conclusions: The levels of determining factors of negative psychological effects, reveal the need for a preparation of political improvement policies in relation to mental health of rehabilitated persons, as well as the promotion of actions that would contribute to the development of a more effective supportive framework.
