Published: November 2022

Objective

To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of near-infrared fluorescence imaging technology for assessing margins during breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer.

Methods

Forty-three breast cancer patients who received surgical treatment at Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College were selected. Before the operation, the patients were administered with an indocyanine green injection of 0.5 mg/kg intravenously 2 h before operation. During and after the operation, all patients underwent surgical margin monitoring with the near-infrared fluorescence imaging system for fluorescence imaging and acquisition of images and quantitative fluorescence intensity. During the operation, the patients’ tissue specimens were collected on the upper, lower, inner, outer, apical, and basal sides of the fluorescence boundary of the isolated lesions for pathological examination.

Results

Fluorescence was detected in the primary tumor in all patients. The average fluorescence intensities of tumor tissue, peritumoral tissue, and normal tissue were 219.41 ± 32.81, 143.35 ± 17.37, and 105.77 ± 17.79 arbitrary units, respectively (P < 0.05, t test). The signal-to-background ratio of tumor to peritumor tissue and normal tissue was 1.54 ± 0.20 and 2.14 ± 0.60, respectively (P < 0.05, t test). Abnormal indocyanine green fluorescence was detected in 11.6% patients (5/43), including 3 patients with residual infiltrating carcinoma and 2 patients with adenosis with ductal dilatation.

Conclusion

This study confirms the high sensitivity and specificity of near-infrared fluorescence imaging technology for breast-conserving surgery margin assessment. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging technology can be used as an intraoperative diagnosis and treatment tool to accurately determine the surgical margin and is of important guiding value in breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer.
The effectiveness of a tablet-based video game that stimulates cognitive, emotional, and social skills in developing academic skills among preschoolers: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Rojas-Barahona Cristian A. , Gaete Jorge , Véliz Mauricio , Castillo Ramón D. , Ramírez Saray , Araya Ricardo
Published: November 2022

Background

Evidence suggests that children from low-income families begin the preschool stage with less academic and non-academic skills development compared to higher-income families. There are several successful experiences of early stimulation of cognitive and social-emotional skills; however, there is scarce evidence of the effectiveness of a video game that incorporates the stimulation of these skills simultaneously. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a video game in stimulating cognitive, emotional, and social competence skills in developing academic skills in socioeconomically disadvantaged preschool children.

Methods

A cluster-randomized controlled trial design will be used. A tablet-based video game that stimulates cognitive and socio-emotional skills to improve the development of academic skills is compared with a tablet-based game where students draw and paint with no explicit stimulation of cognitive and socio-emotional skills. Eighteen schools and 750 Chilean preschool students will be recruited. The effectiveness of the intervention will be assessed using a direct evaluation of children on literacy learning and pre-calculation skills at baseline, immediately after stimulation, and at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months post-intervention. The mediating effect of working memory, inhibitory control, emotion recognition, and prosocial behaviours will be assessed on the effectiveness of the intervention.

Discussion

The proposed study will be the first to test the effectiveness of a tablet-based video game stimulating cognitive and social-emotional skills to improve academic skills in socioeconomically disadvantaged preschool children in Chile, controlling for gender, age (in months), mental health, and baseline conditions of stimulated skills.

Authors: Faid Amna H. , Shouman Samia A. , Badr Yehia A. , Sharaky Marwa
Published: November 2022

Background

The difficulty of achieving targeted drug delivery following administration of presently marketed anticancer therapeutics is still a concern. Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) appear to be promising in this regard. The present study focused on the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as a drug carrier for anticancer Doxorubicin (DOX) forming DOX–AuNPs nanocomposite. The anticancer effect of the prepared nanocomposite was evaluated using SRP essay on breast cancer cell line (MCF7) for different incubation times (24 h,48, and72hr). The prepared DOX–AuNPs nanocomposite was investigated by UV–visible spectroscopy, TEM, fluorescence spectroscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy.

Results

Our results showed that the prepared AuNPs and DOX–AuNPs nanocomposite have spherical and small size10 ± 2 nm and 12 ± 2 nm respectively. The potential cytotoxicity of the DOX-AuNPs nanocomposite on the MCF7 cell line was significantly increased compared to free DOX. The 20 µM DOX- AuNPs nanocomposite produced a similar decrease in cell survival as 80 µM free DOX.

Conclusion

Future work is in progress to investigate the positive effects of the prepared nanocomposite for chemo-photothermal combination treatment.

Authors: Demarest Stefaan , Molenberghs Geert , Berete Finaba , Charafeddine Rana , Van Oyen Herman , Van Hal Guido
Published: November 2022

Background

Matched field-substitution has been applied in the Belgian Health Interview Survey (BHIS) since the first round. During data-collection, non-participating households are replaced by substitute households, if needed up to seven times. In this manuscript, the use of field-substitution in the six rounds of BHIS (1997–2018) is assessed. We investigated to what extent field-substitution contributes to obtaining the requested net-sample size and whether this has evolved throughout the successive BHIS’s.

Methods

Harmonized para-data gathered throughout de data-collection phases are used to define the final participation status of all households that could be contacted for participation to the survey. The share of the substituted households was calculated and possible trends in the use of field-substitution throughout the successive surveys was assessed using logistic regression. Finally, it was examined whether the application of field-substitution changed in terms of the position of the participating household in the clusters, using the ESTIMATE statement in the SAS procedure NLMIXED.

Results

Overall, four in ten participating households are substitute households. This proportion remains rather similar over the surveys. The probability of participating according to the position of the household within the cluster is evidently much higher in households at the first position of initial selected clusters. Over the survey-years, the share of participating household derived from substitute clusters in the total number of participating households has slightly increased.

Conclusion

Field-substitution in BHIS plays a very substantial role in obtaining the requested net sample both in size and composition. Field-substitution, as applied in BHIS might inspire scientists to consider it when developing their surveys.
Anaemia and its determinants among reproductive age women (15–49 years) in the Gambia: a multi-level analysis of 2019–20 Gambian Demographic and Health Survey Data
Authors: Shitu Kegnie , Terefe Bewuketu
Published: November 2022

Background

Anaemia is among the top list of the contemporarily public health burden in both developed and developing countries, by affecting mainly women's and children's health.

Objective

This study aimed to identify the burden of anaemia and its individual and community level factors among women in The Gambia.

Method

This study was based on an extensive national survey, Gambian Demographic and Health Survey. A total weighted sample of 5,858 reproductive-age women was included. Because of the hierarchical nature of the DHS data, a multi-level logistic regression model was applied to study individual and community-level factors that may influence anaemia. A 95% confidence interval and ap-value of less than 0.05 were used to declare statistical significance.

Result

The overall prevalence of anemia was found 44.28% (95% CI 0.43, 0.46). Current users of contraceptives were (AOR = 0.66, 95% CI: (0.55- 0.79)) and currently pregnant (AOR = 1.44. 95% CI: (1.16, 1.81)) less likely and more likely to develop anaemia compared to their counterparts respectively. In addition to this, living in the region of Brikama (AOR = 0.69, 95% CI: (0.50–0.97)) less likely to be exposed to anemia. From community level factor, high distance to the health facilities (AOR = 1.23,95% CI 1.02–1.48) were associated with anemia.

Conclusion

The study revealed that the burden of anaemia among reproductive age Gambian women was very high. Anaemia was affected by both individual and community levels of factors. Thus, the burden of anaemia could be significantly reduced if pregnant and contraceptive users' women were monitored and encouraged. Increasing the accessibility of health facilities, community mobilization, and awareness enhancement are also advisable.
Economic impacts of biodiesel policy in Indonesia: a computable general equilibrium approach

Published: November 2022

The Government of Indonesia has been promoting the advancement of the biodiesel sector to fulfill its commitment to support clean energy, energy security, and rural development. This paper examines the economic impact of the biodiesel sector using a computable general equilibrium model. Besides analyzing the impacts on the national macroeconomic conditions, other sectors, and household incomes, our model has also included a regional block to capture the impact of the biodiesel mandate on regional growth. Two simulations were performed: (1) fulfillment of the 30% biodiesel blending target (B30 mandate), and (2) Simulation 1 combined with the European Union's biodiesel trade ban resulting in an export reduction of 5.18%. The results show that the two simulations provide positive impacts on macroeconomic variables, including real gross domestic product and real wages. However, the B30 mandate and the combined effect of the EU trade ban still yield an inflationary effect in the short term. They also potentially reduce the production of several agricultural products—such as sugarcane, fruits, vegetables, and soybeans—leading to an increase in food prices. The policy implications highlight that the current B30 mandate and EU ban cannot automatically improve the fuel trade balance.
Paleoproteomic profiling for identification of animal skin species in ancient Egyptian archaeological leather using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

Published: November 2022

Ancient protein analysis provides clues to human life and diseases from ancient times. Paleoproteomics has the potential to give a better understanding of the modes of fabrication of ancient materials, their composition, and pathways of degradation, as well as the development of animal fibers through domestication and breeding. Thus, this study aimed at providing guidance for choosing proteomics workflows to analyze leather samples and their capacity to distinguish between unknown archeological species. Here, we performed shotgun proteomics of archeological animal skin for the first time. The raw output data were analyzed using three different software (Proteome Discoverer, Protein Pilot, and Peptide Shaker) with their impeded algorithms. The study found that the best species identification percentage was obtained using protein piolet with protein database. Particularly prevalent and relatively high collagen expression suggests its resistance to degradation, despite the samples’ exposure to environmental and chemical alterations. The success of this case study indicates that further analyses could assist in reworking historical baseline data for putative identification of unknown archeological samples.

Published: November 2022

Purpose

To assess the prevalence and factors associated with stunting and thinness among school-age children in rural primary schools in the East Dembia District, Northwest Ethiopia.

Methods

An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted using a systematic random sampling procedure to select 840 school-aged children. A structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Height and weight measurements were taken, and a combined wet mount and concentration technique was used. Epi Data 3.1 was used to enter data, which was then exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Bi-variable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done. Variables with a p-value of less than 0.05 were considered significantly associated with stunting and thinness.

Results

The prevalence of stunting and thinness was 25.5 and 13.0%, respectively. Being infected with an intestinal parasite (AOR =4.34; 95% CI: 2.52, 12.27), being in the age group 11–14 years (AOR =3.73; 95% CI: 2.19, 6.34), having the lowest dietary diversity practice (AOR =4.61; 95% CI: 1.73, 12.27), unimproved water sources (AOR =1.76; 95% CI: 1.07, 2.91), not practicing good hygiene practice (AOR =1.71; 95% CI: 1.04, 2.804) and having an unimproved latrine type (AOR =1.72; 95% CI: 1.03, 2.89) were significantly associated with stunting. On the other hand, unsecured food (AOR =1.74; 95% CI: 1.08, 2.81), eating less than 3 meals per day (AOR = 2.67; 95% CI: 1.11, 6.46), and untreated water (AOR =1.72; 95% CI: 1.08, 2.75) were factors associated significantly with thinness.

Conclusion

Stunting and thinness are predominant public health problems in the study area, provided that the prevalence of stunting is slightly higher than that of a national survey on health and nutrition in schoolchildren, whereas the prevalence of thinness is lower when compared to the same national survey. In this study, the primary factor that was significantly associated with stunting was dietary diversity; the primary factor that was associated with thinness was eating fewer than 3 meals per day. So, an integrated strategy is important to alleviate undernutrition among school-aged children in the current study area.
Shifting online during COVID-19: A systematic review of teaching and learning strategies and their outcomes
Authors: Koh Joyce Hwee Ling , Daniel Ben Kei
Published: November 2022

This systematic literature review of 36 peer-reviewed empirical articles outlines eight strategies used by higher education lecturers and students to maintain educational continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic since January 2020. The findings show that students’ online access and positive coping strategies could not eradicate their infrastructure and home environment challenges. Lecturers’ learning access equity strategies made learning resources available asynchronously, but having access did not imply that students could effectively self-direct learning. Lecturers designed classroom replication, online practical skills training, online assessment integrity, and student engagement strategies to boost online learning quality, but students who used ineffective online participation strategies had poor engagement. These findings indicate that lecturers and students need to develop more dexterity for adapting and manoeuvring their online strategies across different online teaching and learning modalities. How these online competencies could be developed in higher education are discussed.
Predictive value of serum irisin for chronic heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Berezin Alexander A. , Fushtey Ivan M. , Pavlov Sergii V. , Berezin Alexander E.
Published: November 2022

We hypothesize that serum irisin can have additional discriminative potency for heart failure (HF) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study group comprised 226 consecutive T2DM patients (153 patients with any HF phenotypes and 30 patients without HF) aged 41 to 65 years. The plasma levels N-terminal brain natriuretic pro-peptide (NT-proBNP) and irisin were detected by ELISA at the baseline of the study. We found that the most appropriate cut-off value of irisin (HF versus non-HF) were 10.4 ng/mL (area under curve [AUC] = 0.96, sensitivity = 81.0%, specificity = 88.0%; P = 0.0001). Cutoff point of NT-proBNP that distinguished patients with HF and without it was 750 pmol/L (AUC = 0.78; sensitivity = 72.7%, specificity 76.5%, p = 0.0001). Using multivariate comparative analysis we established that concentrations of irisin < 10.4 ng/mL (odds ration [OR] = 1.30; P = 0.001) and NT-proBNP > 750 pmol/mL (OR = 1.17; P = 0.042), left atrial volume index (LAVI) > 34 mL/m2 (OR = 1.06; P = 0.042) independently predicted HF. Irisin being added to NT-proBNP improved predictive modality for HF, whereas combination of NT-proBNP and LAVI > 34 mL/m2 did not. In conclusion, we established that irisin had independent predicted potency for HF in patients with established T2DM.
Nonlinear diffusion of fermions and bosons
Authors: Wolschin Georg
Published: November 2022

A nonlinear diffusion equation is proposed to account for thermalization in fermionic and bosonic systems through analytical solutions. For constant transport coefficients, exact time-dependent solutions are derived through nonlinear transformations, and the corresponding local equilibration times are deduced. Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein distributions emerge as stationary solutions of the nonlinear equation. As examples, local thermalization of quarks and gluons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and of ultracold atoms including time-dependent Bose-Einstein condensate formation are discussed.
A Race Against the Clock? On the Paradoxes of Acting “Now” in the Climate Struggle
Authors: Kenis Anneleen
Published: November 2022

Taking inspiration from Walter Benjamin's “Theses on the Philosophy of History,” this article discusses how new climate movements try to break with the empty time of conventional climate discourses in order to politicize the “now.” Pointing at the catastrophe looming on the horizon, new climate movements question understandings of history as progress. These are underpinned by linear, gradual, and homogeneous conceptions of time, as present in a wide range of future climate pathways characterized by moveable deadlines and a strong reliance on future promises. Embracing, at least rhetorically, a full conception of time, for instance, in their call to declare a climate emergency, new climate movements claim that the struggle cannot be postponed until tomorrow. One has to act “now.” Paradoxically, however, to create this sense of full time, the movements rely on the empty time of, for instance, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate scenarios and the image of the climate clock. The performative call to “act now” entails, therefore, its own contradictions. When every now moment can be staged as the decisive moment, time is paradoxically made empty again.
Postnatal depletion of maternal cells biases T lymphocytes and natural killer cells’ profiles toward early activation in the spleen
Authors: Castellan Flore S. , Irie Naoki
Published: November 2022

The maternal cells transferred into the fetus during gestation persist long after birth in the progeny. These maternal cells have been hypothesized to promote the maturation of the fetal immune system in utero but there are still significant gaps in our knowledge of their potential roles after birth. To provide insights into these maternal cells’ postnatal functional roles, we set up a transgenic mouse model to specifically eliminate maternal cells in the neonates by diphtheria toxin injection and confirmed significant depletion in the spleens. We then performed immunophenotyping of the spleens of two-week-old pups by mass cytometry to pinpoint the immune profile differences driven by the depletion of maternal cells in early postnatal life. We observed a heightened expression of markers related to activation and maturation in some natural killer and T cell populations. We hypothesize these results to indicate a potential postnatal regulation of lymphocytic responses by maternal cells. Together, our findings highlight an immunological influence of maternal microchimeric cells postnatally, possibly protecting against adverse hypersensitivity reactions of the neonate at a crucial time of new encounters with self and environmental antigens.
Development and thermophysical analysis of binary eutectics phase change materials for solar drying application
Authors: Pandey Saurabh , Anand Abhishek , Buddhi Dharam , Sharma Atul
Published: November 2022

Background: In the past 30–40 years, conflicts over limited conventional energy sources and the negative climate change caused by them have attracted researchers and analysts to new, clean, and green energy technologies. Thereby reducing the consumption of conventional fuel and the negative impact on the climate. The production of alternative energy in the form of thermal energy storage using phase change materials (PCMs) is one of the techniques that not only reduces the gap between the supply and demand of energy but also increases the stability of the energy supply. The tendency of PCMs to melt and solidify over a wide temperature range makes them more attractive for use in many applications. The effective and efficient storage of solar energy by PCM has the potential to significantly advance the use of renewable energy.

Methods: Organic non-paraffin compound beeswax (BW) mixed with other non-paraffin compounds stearic acid (SA), Palmitic acid (PA), Myristic acid (MA), and Lauric acid (LA) in different compositions with the help of magnetic stirrer at 50–60°C for 3–4 hours to prepare BWSA, BWPA, BWMA, and BWLA eutectic PCM.

Results: Prepared eutectics melt and solidify in the temperature range 36–56°C and with latent heat in the range of 155–211 kJ/Kg.

Conclusions: Due to suitable temperature and good latent heat storage range, it is a good choice as thermal energy storage, for solar drying applications.

ASSESSMENT OF CHANGESIN SOIL AND PLANT MICROBIOME IN THE EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT OF SPRING WHEAT WITH THE USE OF BIOPREPARATIONS UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS IN 2020-2021 YEARS
Authors: Abramova Arina , Abramova Arina
Published: November 2022

The investigation studied the influence of biological preparations based on bacterial strains of Bacillus mojavensis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on the quantitative composition of the plants and soil microbiomeduring the cultivation of spring wheat Ulyanovskaya105 variety. Some ability of these strains to pass from the treated seeds into the interior of plants and into the soil on the early stages of wheat development was also considered. Ulyanovskaya 105 wheat variety was cultivated in the Laishevsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan during the 2020 and 2021 summer periods. During the two growing seasons, different weather conditions were observed.The strains used for seed treatment are endophytic microorganisms isolated from the tomato (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) and spring wheat seeds (Bacillus mojavensis).At the early stages of plant development, the analysis of the bacterial microbiota, both of the plants themselves and of the soil in which they were cultivated, was carried out.According to the results of the study, we noted that the use of these preparations, in general, increases the number of bacteria of soil and plants. The ability of the Bacillus mojavensis strain to move into the aerial part of the plant, and the ability of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain to move into the plant roots and soil was revealed. The data obtained for two summer seasons of wheat cultivation: 2020 and 2021 showed some coherence between the effect of biological products on the microbiome and weather conditions.In addition, the studies noted that the treatment of plants with a strain of Bacillus mojavensis contributes to the preservation of the microbiome, both plants and soil in adverse weather conditions.
Social Status of Agbè and Kete: A Historical and Functional Yorùbá Oral Literary Perspectives
Authors: Abísọ́lá Kíaríbẹ̀ẹ́ Luqman
Published: November 2022

Agbè (a gourd) and kete (a calabash pot) are both utensils in the Yorùbá socio-cultural setting. They are also made musical instruments in orin agbè and orin kete. Because both objects are structurally and functionally interwoven, many people could not delineate their status. As a result, some even take them for one. This has resulted in cultural and literary misplacement of the priority of the objects. Sequel to the identified problem, this study attempts a critical cultural and literary analysis of agbè and kete in order to validate their socio-cultural and literary status. New historicism is used as the theoretical framework. The study adopts an ethnological research design. Yorùbá oral historical and literary materials are the base of the study’s critical analysis. Data were collected among the elders in Ìbàràpá and Òkè-Ògún, and some other parts of the Yorùbáland. It is revealed in the analysis that, agbè and kete’s uses to some extent are complementary. Thus, agbè is more useful than kete. Agbè is considered for keeping precious items, and as a musical instrument, it is having social status. Kete on the hand is also having a social status as it is both used as utensil and musical instrument. However, kete’s religious status is validated for its use in Ọbàtálá religious service. Using agbè to save precious items is not enough to consider it more important than kete as kete in the religious context of Ọbàtálá is also used for a significant religious function.

Regenerative agriculture — the practices involved and its position within modern agricultural systems
Authors: Moffett Alasdair , Hill Clare
Published: November 2022

Agriculture alone produces 10% of UK greenhouse gas emissions, despite constituting less than 1% of gross domestic product (GDP). Climate mitigation targets set by the United Nations Paris Climate Agreement look to land management strategies to limit global warming below 2°C. At present, it is estimated that a minimum of 40% of earth's farmed land is poorer in quality than it was in the 1970s. Simultaneously three quarters of the earth's species are being lost within a short geological time frame described as the sixth, mass extinction event. Unlike the past five mass extinction events, the cause this time is exclusively the result of human activities, of which land use change associated with agriculture is one. Increasingly the argument for changing how we farm is gathering momentum. This article aims to provide a review of regenerative agriculture practices, and a reasoning as to why it should play a part in a sustainable farming future. The green revolution enabled the planet to keep feeding an expanding global population with production of cereal crops often tripling with only a 30% increase in land use; what is now needed is an ability to maintain production while providing part of the solution to the twin global threats of climate change and biodiversity loss.
Ovine Caesarean sections and assisted vaginal deliveries: a clinical audit
Authors: Charles David , Stockton David
Published: November 2022

Obstetrical difficulties in sheep traditionally account for the majority of sheep veterinary work in the spring. Throughout the 2021–22 lambing season 21 practices provided data on assisted vaginal deliveries (lambings) and ovine Caesarean sections. Information including lamb presentation, medicines administered, surgical preparation, morbidity and mortality were all recorded with the aim of understanding the choices made by practitioners and any variation in outcomes, and to compare these to the existing literature to produce best practice advice to the group. 7-day survival rates were favourable (86.2% of ewes lambed and 94.8% of ewes undergoing Caesarean section). All ewes undergoing Caesarean section received meloxicam, however, wider variation in other medicines administered was recorded, alongside significant variation in surgical preparation techniques of both the patient and the surgeon. A series of safe operating procedures and information guides were produced relating to antibiotic selection (following European Medicines Agency guidance), local anaesthetic use in sheep and, performing the sacrococcygeal epidural.
Imaging the equine neck
Authors: Dixon Jonathon
Published: November 2022

The equine cervical spine is commonly implicated as the cause of ataxia, proprioceptive reflex deficits and potentially lameness. The cervical spine can be affected by a variety of conditions, including cervical vertebral malformation, articular process joint degenerative joint disease, congenital malformations, fractures and less frequently neoplasia. Surface palpation can only provide minimal diagnostic information, and imaging is therefore typically required. Radiography provides the mainstay of front-line imaging, with the use of laterolateral and oblique projections now commonplace. Advanced imaging options, furthered by the availability of large-bore computed tomography (CT) units, are revolutionising the ability to assess the neck; however, further work is required to fully validate CT myelography as a stand-alone technique to diagnose spinal cord compression. This may have potential to become a gold standard imaging test of the future.
