The result from preliminary survey showed that the prevalence of couples in childbearing age who used pesticide excessive in the shallot farming and did not have offspring for >1 year in Pamulihan Village, Larangan Subdistrict, Brebes was 33%.This study aimed to analyze occurrence of male infertility according to their practices on pesticide use and zinc-containing diets. The design study was case-control and data was collected by using the standardized questionnaires. From total of 81 cases and 581 control males, respondents of 51 cases and 51 controls were selected with random sampling method. The investigators measured the use of pesticides, personal protective equipment, practices on the daily use of clothing, handwashing after spraying, and zinc intake. The multivariate analysis result indicated that the variables that exhibited a significant effect were the frequency of pesticide spraying in a week (OR: 2. 663 (CI=1.138–6.233 )), spraying against the wind direction (OR:0.180 (CI = 0.033–0.971)), and repeated spraying (OR: 0.346 (CI =0.146–0.819)). Although factor farmers worked more than six hours per day, practiced re-spraying, consumed fertility-enhancing foods and used the PPE were identified as a significant risk factor of infertility in univariate analysis, the association becomes disappeared in multivariate analysis. It might be due to multiple combination effect between variables. Frequency of pesticide spraying in a week was the variable with the highest effect, which is farmers who sprayed the pesticide on the red shallot >3 times per week were inclined in infertile three times higher.

Published: May 2021

COVID-19 is a newly discovered type of virus. It is known that the disease is transmitted by droplets. The best way of protection from COVID-19 is social isolation and high level of knowledge and awareness.  The study aims to determine knowledge and awareness level of the Turkish society about COVID-19. The study is cross-sectional and quantitative which conducted in Turkey’s six largest cities. An online questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data. A total of 970 respondents were included in the study.  The general knowledge and awareness level of the respondents was found 81%. It was determined that knowledge and awareness scores significantly differed across gender. The groups with higher education gave significantly higher correct answers regarding the new type of coronavirus. It was found that the knowledge and awareness level of women about new type of coronavirus was significantly higher than men. Countries around the world have been making great efforts to stop the spread of the virus. There are many measures implemented for this purpose. However, general level of knowledge regarding COVID-19 is critical to implementing the measures and preventing infection. Therefore, the studies on population to detect knowledge level is important for decision making. In this study, it was determined that COVID-19 knowledge and awareness levels of men, people with low education level and the respondents who prefer television as a channel of obtaining information were low compared to the other groups. Therefore, it is recommended to increase awareness raising activities especially for these groups.

Tumour protein 53 (p53) plays an important role in the instruction of the cell cycle. In a variety of transformed cell lines, tumour protein is expressed in high amounts, and it is believed to contribute to transformation and malignancy. This research aimed to detect the anti-p53 antibodies in sera of patients with various malignant tumours and to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A case-control study was conducted on samples from 49 patients with various types of malignant tumours at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia, and 32 healthy control cases with non‐malignant disease collected from Universiti Sains Malaysia clinic, Penang, Malaysia. The antibodies against p53 protein in the serum samples were analysed using the commercial ELISA kit, Calbiochem® p53- ELISAPLUS. The results showed that the rate of anti-p53 antibodies in patients with various malignant tumours was 13 out of 49 (26.5 %), compared with only 2 out of 32 (6.25%) in healthy controls (p < 0.001). The sensitivity of this kit reached 28.6% and the specificity was 93.8%. In conclusion, these results suggest that the anti-p53 antibodies can be detected in different sera of malignant tumour patients and the ELISA kit is highly specific; nevertheless, its discrimination power is not perfect because of its low sensitivity to determine the anti-p53 antibodies.

El carcinoma seroso de ovario es un tumor peritoneal multicéntrico que supone el 70-80% de las neoplasias malignas ováricas. Se diagnostica hasta en un 50% de los casos en fase avanzada con afectación peritoneal. En la etapa terminal de la enfermedad las pacientes pueden presentar ascitis refractaria con necesidad de evacuación periódica.

Hasta la fecha no había constancia en la literatura de la utilización de stents para drenaje de colecciones ascíticas loculadas en pacientes en situación paliativa. El uso de estas prótesis se había limitado al tratamiento de necrosectomías pancreáticas o drenaje de pseudoquistes pero en los últimos años se han ido ampliando sus indicaciones. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con cáncer de ovario Estadio IIIC de la FIGO en situación paliativa con intolerancia digestiva secundaria a compresión gástrica extrínseca por colección ascítica resuelta con prótesis Hot Axios™.

Published: May 2021

El mesotelioma maligno es un tumor poco frecuente pero está asociado a una alta mortalidad y se considera por tanto un tumor muy agresivo con una incidencia que va aumentando en todo el mundo. Se origina más frecuentemente en las membranas serosas pleurales, seguido del peritoneo, pericardio y la túnica vaginalis,suponiendo los mesoteliomas peritoneales un 10-15% de todos los casos de mesotelioma. La TAC es la prueba diagnóstica de elección pero para el diagnóstico definitivo es necesaria la inmunohistoquímica.

El tratamiento del mesotelioma peritoneal maligno precisa un tratamiento multimodal por lo que es necesario un comité multidisciplinar. El tratamiento estándar para pacientes seleccionados con mesotelioma maligno incluye cirugía citorreductora y quimioterapia hipertérmica intraperitoneal, mientras que los mesoteliomas irresecables se pueden beneficiar de tratamiento combinado con quimioterapia, radioterapia e inmunoterapia. Actualmente hay varios ensayos clínicos para conocer mejor las características de dicha neoplasia.

Authors: Garrido Márquez I , Moya Sánchez E , Pérez Naranjo P
Published: May 2021

La colecistitis aguda consiste en una inflamación de la vesícula que normalmente va asociada a litiasis o barro biliar, pero que en determinadas ocasiones aparece estando la vesícula vacía (alitiásica). Si bien en la población pediátrica es una patología infrecuente, hasta el 30% de las colecistitis agudas infantiles son alitiásicas. La sintomatología y el diagnóstico son similares a los casos adultos, siendo la prueba de elección la ecografía abdominal, con hallazgos típicos de engrosamiento parietal y vesícula hidrópica. El tratamiento inicial será conservador, reservándose la cirugía para los casos más avanzados y con complicaciones.

Published: May 2021

Introducción: El cáncer de mama metastásico se considera una enfermedad incurable. En los países desarrollados se calcula que entre el 3,5 y el 7% de los cánceres de mama son metastásicos al diagnóstico. En los países en vías de desarrollo pueden representar hasta el 25% de los diagnósticos. En los últimos años se ha descubierto un grupo de pacientes con metástasis limitadas que se podrían beneficiar de un abordaje quirúrgico en combinación con la terapia sistémica. Gracias a la mejora del diagnóstico por imagen este grupo de pacientes oligometastásicas está en aumento.

Cirugía del tumor primario: Eliminar el tumor primario puede suponer una disminución de la carga tumoral y una sensibilización al tratamiento sistémico. Diversos estudios han puesto de manifiesto un aumento de la supervivencia en estos casos, siempre que se asocie terapia sistémica y en pacientes seleccionados.

Cirugía de las metástasis: La resección de las metástasis en pacientes con respuesta completa o intervalo libre de enfermedad prolongado aumenta la supervivencia global. Se debe proponer metastasectomía en toda mujer con enfermedad M1 limitada, con edad menor de 55 años, ECOG <2, tumores RE/RP o HER2 positivos y grado favorable.

Efecto abscopal e inmunoterapia: El efecto abscopal permite el control local y sistémico de la enfermedad tumoral. La radiación local es capaz de mejorar la respuesta sistémica alterando los mecanismos de defensa tumorales a nivel local.

Conclusiones: En pacientes M1 seleccionados, la intervención sobre el tumor primario y/o sobre enfermedad metastásica limitada, puede cambiar el pronóstico global de la paciente.
Case Study Regarding the Variation of the Qualitative Parameters of Wastewater
Authors: Iova Andrei Radu , Neagu Cecilia Violeta , Cretu Daniela
Published: May 2021

Romania is making efforts in order to enforce the Directive concerning urban waste water treatment and was left behind by other member states. Starting from the premise that the lack of a proper treatment of wastewater can negatively influence the quality of the emissary in which they are discharged., we proposed that in this paper we analyze the main indicators of wastewater quality, identifying also the causes of water pollution. For this purpose, we followed the variation of five representative indicators of wastewater from Calarasi Wastewater Treatment Plan: chemical oxygen consumption, biochemical oxygen consumption, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, suspended solids. The best results in purification were observed regarding the biochemical oxygen consumption (over 95%). The low temperature of wastewater at the entrance to the Wastewater Treatment Plant during winter leads to a difficult exploitation of the biological step and implicitly to the increase of the phosphorus and total nitrogen concentration in the effluent, which means a weak process of eutrophication in the emissary.

The paper presents the assessment of inhibition effectiveness of biomolecules extracted from red seaweed against biocorrosion in the petroleum industry. The first objective of this study was to obtain extracts (A, B and C, prepared respectively from red algae species: Corallina ellongata, Gymnogongrus crenulatus and Pterocladia capillacea) by ethanol extraction method. The infrared spectra of the three extracts confirmed the presence of amine derivatives molecules known by their anti-corrosion inhibiting powers. The second objective was based on the identification of physico-chemical characteristics of the extracts and thus revealing their inhibitory and / or bactericidal power in bacterial corrosion of carbon steel in injection water contaminated with sulfato-reducing bacteria. Biological test of all extracts gave a concentration upto 10 germs/mL in contaminated water by sulfato-reducing bacteria during 28 days of incubation at 37�C. Evolution in time of the open-circuit potential showed a longer incubation time for electrolyte with extracts, whereas the stabilization time was shorter. Current corrosion density, polarization resistance, charge transfer resistance and double layer capacity were determined by using linear polarizarion resistance technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion protection efficiency of extract obtained from Gymnogongrus crenulatus (extract B) reached a maximum protective capacity of 99.69% at 5 ppm in the injection water.

TFA was added to a solution of a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane azide-alcohol in CDCl3 to correctly characterize the compound, but during 24 h gave the trifluoro acetylated compound in quantitative yield. NMR spectra of the esterified compound helped us also to correctly attribute the NMR signals to the protons, and also confirmed the identification of the carbon atoms. The study was extended to other 14 compounds containing a primary alcohol group alone or with an ethylene ketal, a δ- or -lactone group, a primary and a secondary group, two primary and an alkene group and two primary and a secondary alcohol groups on scaffolds containing bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane, bicyclo [2.2.1]heptane constrained with a cyclopropane ring and bicyclo[3.3.0]octane fragments. The esterification of all compounds was also quantitative in 24 to 72 h; this helped us to correct attribute the NMR signals to the protons and carbon atoms of the un-esterified compounds by comparison with those of the trifluoro acetylated compounds. A graphical presentation of 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra of a few un-esterified and esterified compounds are presented in the paper.

Published: May 2021

Low cost, high fatty acid content waste cooking oil was transformed into biodiesel using an acid catalyzed chemical esterification reaction with 0.5 vol.% of H2SO4 at 60�C for 1 hour followed by the main transesterification reaction. For the purpose of comparison, biodiesel fuel was also prepared using straight vegetable oils (SVO�s). The gas chromatography test showed higher than 95% FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) content for different types of utilized feedstocks. Biodiesel fuel and its blends were characterized based on ASTM test methods to investigate its density, viscosity, flash point, pour point, heating value, and its cetane index and similar physical properties were obtained for all the prepared biodiesel fuels. B20 blend, which contains 20 vol.% of biodiesel and 80 vol.% of diesel, showed a better performance than B0 (100 vol.% of diesel) when tested in a laboratory compression ignition diesel engine. After simulation of the production process via Aspen Hysys, a feasibility study was conducted and the results revealed that utilizing waste cooking oils (WCO�s) as feedstock is more economical than starting with SVO�s as raw material.
NONLINEAR STRUCTURAL ESTIMATION OF LOCALIZED NETWORK USING HOMOTOPHIC TOPOLOGICAL (2(N)+1) DIMENSIONAL FOR DISTANCE THEORY (HTD-DT)
Authors: Ramya R. , Chandrasekaran P.
Published: May 2021

A Nonlinear Structural Equation Model (NLSEM) is formed on the basis of various dimension in normal mutual estimation depending on Distance Estimation Theory (DET) and its complex networks structure. The homotophy linear topography analyze the dimension of formal network in hidden paths to consider the linear structure. However, dimension theory is a linear dependence between the variables for observation is problem in nature of distance estimation along the node and these approaches have limitations to form shortest communication. This paper proposes the Nonlinear structural estimation of localized network using homotphic topological (2 (n)+1) dimensional for distance theory Structure equation model based on the Probability distribution theory of evaluation model (PDTE) that compensates for the potential innumerable dependencies between network points. For this unstructural reason, network densities are provided to take advantage of the lower specific margins of density that are present in most real-world networks. The Gambier IV order $(y \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2} (\alpha, \beta)$, complex constant) is used to optimize the Painleve I order $(X’=X’^{(dy/dt)}y^2 + t)$ equation to derive the neighborhood singularities to estimate the distance. This computational provides an efficient integration to the diagonal gradient algorithm has been developed to estimate the SEM coefficients of polymorphic formation and therefore infer the edge structures on distance estimation. Preliminary testing of simulated data demonstrates the effectiveness of the new approach produce high estimation with lower redundancy steps of mathematical solvation.
CONSTRUCTING TRI-TOPOLOGICAL NETWORK SPACE MODEL USING CONNECTED COMPONENT GRAPH THEORY (T3-C2G) BASED ON HOMOTOPY ALGEBRAIC INVARIANCE MODEL
Authors: Rajeswari V. , Nithiya T.
Published: May 2021

The complex network contains non-deterministic topological spaces under an invariance structural approach to create failures on a continual link during communication. The non-lineardynamic topological structure leads to problematic threading links on network nodes due to a non-identical path to route the data. To resolve this problem, we propose atri-logical algebraic mathematical construction model called homotopy based tri-topological network spa- ce using connected component graph $(T^3-C^2G)$ under network nonlinear structure,The Algebraic Invariance Linear Queuing Theory (HA/I/LQT) is used to resolve the link failure route propagation to make improved communication performance. This homotopy reduction to reduce the complex nature to make continual link based on Quillen topological structure space under the covariance tri-topological structure. Further, this makes tri-logical structure resembles the sequence of triangle structured route space to make the nearest point of node adjustment from the nearest path. This balances the M/M/G-$T^3$-Max queuing theory on triangular weightage in routing schemes to specify the dynamic homotopy topological structure to make continuous routing links to reduce the complex nature of network routing.

The eﬀects of baricitinib, a selective reversible inhibitor of Janus kinase 1 and 2, in the treatment of COVID-19 are associated with diﬀerent aspects of pathogenesis — inhibition of viral endocytosis, reduction of excessive inﬂammatory response, and mitigation of vascular and pulmonary damage, which is a strong rationale for using baricitinib to treat patients with COVID-19. In the period from April to May 2020, City Clinical Hospital No. 52 obtained clinical experience of baricitinib clinical use in the therapy of 113 patients with COVID-19: 58 (51%) women and 55 (49%) men, whose average age was 57±12.6 years old. Analysis of the results of using baricitinib showed that therapy with baricitinib against the background of standard pathogenetic therapy was found to be eﬀective in 95 (84%) patients and ineﬀective in 18 (16%). Signiﬁcant positive changes were shown in comparison with the baseline level of the following indicators: body temperature (from 37.2±0.8˚C to 36, ±0.68˚C, P=0.000), blood oxygen saturation (from 95.5±3.0% to 96.5±2.2%, P=0.011), C-reactive protein (from 46.1±48.0 mg/L to 33.5±43.7 mg/L, P=0.010 ), National Early Warning Score (NEWS) (from 1.7±1.3 to 1.1±1.2, p=0.001). From the safety point of view, patients showed a slight decrease in the average value of the number of neutrophils — from (3.1±1.4)×109 to (3.0±2.0)×109 and lymphocytes — from (1.8±0,9)×109 to (1.7±0.9)×109, as well as minimal multidirectional changes in the mean values of transaminase activity — alanine aminotransferase changed from 33.9±23.6 U/L to 34.9±47.5 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase — from 40.6±49.0 U/L to 38.5±25.5 U/L. In general, the results obtained within the experience of the clinical use of baricitinib in 113 Russian patients with COVID-19 are consistent with the available data from foreign clinical studies and conﬁrm the eﬃcacy and safety of baricitinib.

Published: May 2021

Bireylerin gündelik hayatlarında verdikleri kararları etkileyen kimlik olgusu, toplumsal hayatın bir etkisi olarak bireylerin oluşumuna katkı verdiği grup kimliğini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Benzerlikler üzerinden kurulan gruplar kendilerini diğer gruplardan ayırmak için farklıları kullanmakta ve bu farklılıkların ön plana çıkarılması durumu beraberinde hem gruplar arası rekabeti hem de kimliklerin zaman içerisinde değişime uğraması durumunu getirmektedir. Ortaya çıkan grup kimliklerinin toplumdaki yeri ve konumuna bağlı olarak kimi kimlikler egemen hale gelirken kimi kimlikler düşük konumda bulunurlar. Azınlık grupları ile bağdaştırılabilecek bu düşük konumda bulunan kimliklerin egemen gruplara göre farklı nitelikleri sebebiyle özel düzenlemelerle tanınması ve bu tanınma çerçevesinde korunması gerekebilmektedir.
Dini ve etnik azınlık olarak ortaya çıkan bu düşük konumdaki grupların devletlerin hem iç hem dış politikalarına etkilerinin olup olmadığı uluslararası ilişkiler disiplini için bir sorunsaldır. Bu anlamda, bu çalışmanın Batı Trakya azınlık grubu üzerinden kimlik olgusunun azınlık grubu için etkisini ve azınlık kimliğinin Yunanistan ve Türkiye arasındaki ikili ilişkilere olan etkisini incelemektir.

The objectives of this work are to determine the profiles of the countries that make up the European tomato consuming market and to observe if the economic-financial crisis (2007/2008) has influenced them. Both Lafay’s economic indicators were applied and country profiles and subprofiles were identified through a multilevel two-stage cluster analysis. The empirical analysis covers the period from 2005 to 2016, separated into two periods, pre-crisis (2005–2010) and post-crisis (2011–2016). Most countries obtained import and export profiles that coincide in both indices, Except in Italy. Only one post-crisis profile change was detected, this being for Greece, from an importer to an exporter. As a result of the initial two-stage clustering analysis (both in the pre-crisis and post-crisis period), three clusters were obtained. At the first level of clustering, Italy is identified with a producer profile and Spain and the Netherlands with an exporter profile. At the second level of clustering of the initial larger group, two clusters were identified, Germany and the United Kingdom with an importing sub-profile, and France and Belgium with an exporting sub-profile. In the transition from the pre-crisis to the post-crisis period, Portugal changed from a producer sub-profile to an exporter sub-profile.

In order to better understand the role of high-mass stellar feedback in regulating star formation in giant molecular clouds, we carried out a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Treasury Program Measuring Young Stars in Space and Time (MYSST) targeting the star-forming complex N44 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Using the F555W and F814W broadband filters of both the ACS and WFC3/UVIS, we built a photometric catalog of 461,684 stars down to m
F555W ≃ 29 mag and m
F814W ≃ 28 mag, corresponding to the magnitude of an unreddened 1 Myr pre-main-sequence star of ≈ 0.09 M
☉ at the LMC distance. In this first paper we describe the observing strategy of MYSST and the data reduction procedure and present the photometric catalog. We identify multiple young stellar populations tracing the gaseous rim of N44's superbubble, together with various contaminants belonging to the LMC field population. We also determine the reddening properties from the slope of the elongated red clump (RC) feature by applying the machine-learning algorithm RANSAC, and we select a set of upper-main-sequence stars as primary probes to build an extinction map, deriving a relatively modest median extinction A
F555W ≃ 0.77 mag. The same procedure applied to the RC provides A
F555W ≃ 0.68 mag.

The Hubble Space Telescope survey Measuring Young Stars in Space and Time (MYSST) entails some of the deepest photometric observations of extragalactic star formation, capturing even the lowest-mass stars of the active star-forming complex N44 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We employ the new MYSST stellar catalog to identify and characterize the content of young pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars across N44 and analyze the PMS clustering structure. To distinguish PMS stars from more evolved line of sight contaminants, a non-trivial task due to several effects that alter photometry, we utilize a machine-learning classification approach. This consists of training a support vector machine (SVM) and a random forest (RF) on a carefully selected subset of the MYSST data and categorize all observed stars as PMS or non-PMS. Combining SVM and RF predictions to retrieve the most robust set of PMS sources, we find ∼26,700 candidates with a PMS probability above 95% across N44. Employing a clustering approach based on a nearest neighbor surface density estimate, we identify 16 prominent PMS structures at 1σ significance above the mean density with sub-clusters persisting up to and beyond 3σ significance. The most active star-forming center, located at the western edge of N44's bubble, is a subcluster with an effective radius of ∼5.6 pc entailing more than 1100 PMS candidates. Furthermore, we confirm that almost all identified clusters coincide with known H ii regions and are close to or harbor massive young O stars or YSOs previously discovered by MUSE and Spitzer observations.
On the Correlation between Atomic Gas and Bars in Galaxies
Authors: Zhou 周 Zhimin 志民 , Ma Jun , Wu Hong
Published: May 2021

We analyze the correlation between properties of large-scale bars and atomic gas content of galaxies to explore the role of H i gas on bar evolution in galaxies. We show that the absolute bar size depends strongly on total stellar mass of galaxies and does not change significantly with H i gas fraction at fixed stellar mass. Furthermore, the physical size of the bar is small and nearly constant in high H i gas fraction and low-mass galaxies and becomes larger with increasing galactic stellar mass in low gas fraction galaxies. When the stellar masses are fixed, the relative bar length normalized to the disk shows a decrease with increasing H i gas fraction due to the larger disks in gas-richer galaxies. We measure the gas deficiency of the samples and find that the gas-rich galaxies have longer and stronger bars compared with the H i gas-deficient galaxies at fixed stellar mass, especially for the massive ones. When splitting the samples into star-forming and quiescent subgroups, the star-forming galaxies tend to have longer bars than the quiescent ones at fixed stellar mass and gas deficiency. In addition, our results suggest two different types of bar properties, in which the bars in gas-rich galaxies grow longer but retain similar axial ratio over time, while they grow longer and fatter over time in gas-poor galaxies.

Published: May 2021

The measurements from the Venus Express spacecraft are analyzed for the basic properties of fast forward interplanetary shocks at Venus’s orbit (∼0.72 au). A total of 143 fast forward interplanetary shock candidates during 2006–2014 are identified. The shock angle ΘBn, defined as the angle between the shock normal and the upstream magnetic field, and the magnetic compression ratio r
B, defined as the ratio of the magnetic field strength downstream to that upstream, of these shocks are determined based on the magnetic coplanarity method. The shock occurrence at Venus shows a correlated variation with the solar activity level measured by the number of sunspots, while the shock angle and magnetic compression ratio do not show such a correspondence. The shock angle spreads almost uniformly between 10° and 80° with its mean value at about 45°, and the magnetic compression ratio shows a unimodal distribution between 1.0 and 4.5 with a mean value of 2.1. In addition, we also analyze the properties of fast forward shocks driven by interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs). We found that interplanetary shocks with and without detected ICMEs showed no significant differences in terms of the shock strength and the shock angle. Further comparison with previous observational results at 1 au shows that fast forward shocks at 1 au are generally weaker than those at 0.72 au, and the shock angle ΘBn is more perpendicular at 1 au.
The Transport Equation for the Dispersal of Passive Tracers in a Nonuniform Turbulent Fluid: Numerical Simulations
Authors: Giacalone Joe
Published: May 2021

The random advection of passive additives in a turbulent fluid plays an important role in solar physics, astrophysics, and atmospheric sciences. We concern ourselves here with the case where the fluctuations are not statistically homogeneous in space, and, hence, where the transport coefficients vary with position. Using a numerical model in which the fluid turbulence is defined kinematically, we show that the evolution of the distribution of passive tracers in the fluid is not always governed by the ordinary diffusion equation. We find it is governed by a more general transport equation whose form depends on the nature of the turbulence, particularly on its compressibility, or divergence. The more general transport equation resembles the ordinary diffusion equation, but the transport coefficient appears in two places and is raised to a power that depends on the divergence of the fluid velocity. If the flow has zero divergence, the case for incompressible turbulence, the resulting transport equation is found to be the regular diffusion equation.
Catch Me if You Can: Biased Distribution of Lyα-emitting Galaxies according to the Viewing Direction

We report that Lyα-emitting galaxies (LAEs) may not faithfully trace the cosmic web of neutral hydrogen (H i), but their distribution is likely biased depending on the viewing direction. We calculate the cross-correlation function (CCF) between galaxies and Lyα forest transmission fluctuations on the near and far sides of the galaxies separately, for three galaxy samples at z ∼ 2: LAEs, [O iii] emitters (O3Es), and continuum-selected galaxies. We find that only LAEs have anisotropic CCFs, with the near side one showing lower signals up to r = 3–4 h
−1 comoving Mpc. This means that the average H i density on the near side of LAEs is lower than that on the far side by a factor of 2.1 under the fluctuating Gunn–Peterson approximation. Mock LAEs created by assigning Lyα equivalent width (

) values to O3Es with an empirical relation also show similar, anisotropic CCFs if we use only objects with higher

than a certain threshold. These results indicate that galaxies on the far side of a dense region are more difficult to be detected (“hidden”) in Lyα because Lyα emission toward us is absorbed by dense neutral hydrogen. If the same region is viewed from a different direction, a different set of LAEs will be selected as if galaxies are playing hide-and-seek using H i gas. Care is needed when using LAEs to search for overdensities.
First instar nymphs of two peltoperlid stoneflies (Insecta, Plecoptera, Peltoperlidae)
Authors: Mtow Shodo , Tsutsumi Tadaaki
Published: May 2021

The first instar nymphs of two peltoperlid stoneflies, i.e.,Microperla brevicaudaKawai, 1958 of Microperlinae andYoraperla uenoi(Kohno, 1946) of Peltoperlinae, were examined and described. Additionally, the phylogeny and groundplan of the first instar nymphs of Peltoperlidae and Plecoptera were considered. The first instar nymphs ofM. brevicaudahave a slender body with a prognathous head of typical shape; they represent a groundplan in Plecoptera. On the other hand, the first instar nymphs ofY. uenoihave a broad, cockroach-like body with an orthognathous and shortened head, the latter being regarded as a potential autapomorphy of Peltoperlinae. Such differences in body shape between the subfamilies are speculated to arise from heterochrony. The three-segmented cerci ofY. uenoiare characteristic to Systellognatha, whereas the four-segmented cerci ofM. brevicaudawere independently acquired within Microperlinae. The structure and distribution pattern of chloride cells in the first instar nymphs of Plecoptera were also discussed. The presence of coniform chloride cells is a potential groundplan of Arctoperlaria. One to two pairs of chloride cells are distributed on the first nine abdominal segments ofM. brevicauda; this represents a groundplan character of Systellognatha. On the other hand, one to four pairs of chloride cells are found on the second to ninth abdominal segments ofY. uenoi; this distribution pattern may be an apomorphic groundplan of Peltoperlinae.

La démarche scientifique est une démarche de pensée. L’objet de ce texte n’est pas de retracer l’épopée historique de la connaissance scientifique, mais de définir à travers elle comment se sont construits les langages de la raison. L’apport de la pensée déterministe a été décisif pour structurer la connaissance scientifique. Le langage probabiliste permet d’expliquer les phénomènes aléatoires. Pour aborder les effets collectifs, il est nécessaire de créer un langage plus holistique. Ces langages ne sont pas antagonistes, au contraire ils se complètent pour mieux comprendre la complexité de notre environnement.
Les Lumières : hier, aujourd'hui, demain

De 2008 à 2012, l’Allemagne et la France ont chacune lancé des plans nationaux de santé publique sur la maladie d’Alzheimer. Le plan allemand était centré sur la recherche et visait l’ensemble des neurodégénérescences. Il est marqué par la création du DZNE (Centre Allemand pour les maladies neurodégénératives dans l’Association Helmholtz), dirigé, de Bonn, par le Professeur Nicotera, avec un budget sur cinq ans de 330 millions d’euros. Le plan français était global pour l’accompagnement (1,2 milliard d’euros), les soins (200 millions d’euros) et la recherche (200 millions d’euros). Cette dernière a été structurée autour d’un Fondation de coopération scientifique, la Fondation plan Alzheimer, dirigée par le Professeur Amouyel. À l’occasion du cinquantième anniversaire du Traité d’amitié franco-allemand, il apparait souhaitable que les deux pays utilisent l’année 2013 pour analyser les résultats de leurs efforts des cinq dernières années. Leurs évolutions démographiques divergent, leurs organisations sont différentes mais partout complexes. Leur responsabilité est commune, au sein de l’Europe, pour découvrir les mécanismes, et les méthodes de diagnostic, de traitement et prévention susceptibles de diminuer le poids croissant de la maladie d’Alzheimer pour la société, partout dans le monde, parallèlement à l’allongement de la vie humaine. Le thème des démences et des maladies neurodégénératives pourrait être un des objectifs de santé publique abordé en totale collaboration par les deux pays pour le demi-siècle à venir. Le document fondateur doit être écrit en 2013.
