Authors: Gladchenko Denis A. , Roshchina Lyudmila V. , Bogdanov Sergey M. , Chelnokov Andrey A.
Published: October 2022

The objective of our research was to examine an effect of 20-minute electrical stimulation session of the spinal cord (tESCS) on the manifestation of reciprocal and presynaptic inhibition in the system of shin antagonist muscles in healthy individuals in a state of a relative muscle rest and weak muscle effort, along with possible physiological mechanisms of these manifestations. Material and Methods — The study involved 10 healthy men 27 to 35 years of age. Reciprocal and presynaptic inhibition was evaluated by suppressing the amplitude of testing H-reflex of m. soleus under conditions of conditioning stimulation of n. peroneus profundus and testing stimulation of n. tibialis with interstimulus intervals of 3 ms and 100 ms, respectively. Reciprocal inhibition and presynaptic inhibition were recorded during a 20-minute tESCS in the area of T11-T12 thoracic vertebrae at rest, in combination with voluntary muscular effort (5% of the maximum voluntary contraction), and after the stimulation. Results — During 20-minute electrical stimulation of the spinal cord at rest, the severity of reciprocal inhibition decreased, inverting to reciprocal facilitation, while presynaptic inhibition weakened only at the twentieth minute of stimulation; and in the postactivation period, the activity of spinal inhibition processes in the antagonist muscle system corresponded to background values. The most pronounced effect of prolonged tESCS was observed when performing a weak isometric contraction, which was accompanied by an increase in reciprocal inhibition activity during 10 minutes of exposure and 10 minutes after the end of stimulation. The severity of presynaptic inhibition during and after the spinal cord stimulation remained unchanged and complied with background values. The presynaptic inhibition activity was expressed to a greater extent during prolonged stimulation of the spinal cord at rest, and when performing a weak voluntary effort, as well as during the postactivation period. Conclusion — Changes in the spinal inhibitory interactions in the system of antagonist muscles on the basis of tESCS effects during arbitrary muscle tension could probably be explained by the fact that in this case, the inhibitory interneuron circuits of spinal cord were exposed to a wider range supraspinally descending and ascending peripheral effects, compared with spinal cord stimulation in a state of a relative muscle rest.

Published: October 2022

Determining the leptin level in patients with abdominal obesity without signs of insulin resistance is necessary for stratifying patients into groups with normal (metabolically neutral obesity) and increased adipokine activity. Objective — To compare the prevalence of metabolic disorders and signs of cardiovascular remodeling in young and middle-aged men with "metabolically healthy" and "metabolically neutral" obesity. Material and methods — observational sample survey of 590 men aged 38.5±5.6 years was conducted. Average body weight was assessed on301 men (the control group). Obesity was determined in 289 patients: among them, the criteria for metabolic syndrome were diagnosed for 134 study participants, metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) was diagnosed in 155 men, and 86 patients from MHO with leptin levels <3.5 ng/ml constituted metabolically neutral obesity group. All patients were evaluated by a lipidogram, adipokine, glycemic profiles, and ultrasound examination of the heart and carotid arteries. Results — Criteria for metabolically neutral abdominal obesity in men were determined: weight gain >30 kg/m2 in the presence of no more than two criteria for metabolic syndrome and leptin level <3.5 ng/ml. The metabolically neutral type was characterized by a better lipid profile, which was confirmed by a lower frequency of dyslipidemia (1.7 times); the frequency of prediabetes was 7% and was half as low as in metabolically healthy obesity; atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries was 1.5 times less common in the neutral type of obesity. Conclusion — The selection of a "metabolically neutral" type of obesity is justified since it allows us to determine the stage of the disease at which the frequency of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders is still minimal and non-drug prevention is necessary.

Published: October 2022

Objective — to evaluate the effect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the level of cytokines and the functional status of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with different categories of left ventricular ejection fraction. Methods — The study included 240 patients 40–70 years of age with CHF. All patients were divided into four groups: 69 CHF patients with preserved ejection fraction (CHFpEF), 91 CHF patients with reduced ejection fraction (CHFrEF), 36 COPD patients with CHFpEF and 44 COPD patients with CHFrEF. All participants underwent echocardiography, six-minute walk test (6MWT), the results of which were compared with the predicted six-minute walk distance: 6МWD (i). Additionally, we assessed the levels of NT-terminal fragment of pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) in patient blood samples. Results — Patients with CHFpEF had higher levels of hs-CRP and proinflammatory cytokines as compared with patients with CHFrEF. The levels of NT-proBNP were higher in patients with COPD and CHF, compared with patients with CHF alone. A negative effect of COPD on the functional status of CHF patients with different EF values was established by the lower 6MWT values and 6MWD/6MWD ratio (i). An increase in the level of suppression of tumorigenicity 2 soluble forms (sST2) was noted in patients with COPD and CHF as compared with the isolated course of cardiac pathology patients. Conclusion — We established that unfavorable effect of COPD on patients with CHF was caused by disadvantageous values of NT-proBNP, ST2, 6MWT, and 6MWD/6MWD (i) ratio.

Published: October 2022

The most frequent intestinal parasites that cause severe disorders in humans are Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica, which alter serum concentrations of deferent markers due to virulence factors and pathogenicity. A large number of people with infection are asymptomatic, and they can go for up to a year without showing any signs or symptoms. Additionally, due to prolonged diarrhoea but not acute diarrhoea, these parasites can cause malnutrition, weight loss, growth delay, and possibly low cognitive development. The aim of this study is to look at how giardiasis and amoebiasis affect the levels of certain biomarkers in the blood.
11β-HSD1 contributes to age-related metabolic decline in male mice

Published: October 2022

The aged phenotype shares several metabolic similarities with that of circulatory glucocorticoid excess (Cushing’s syndrome), including type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and myopathy. We hypothesise that local tissue generation of glucocorticoids by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which converts 11-dehydrocorticosterone to active corticosterone in rodents (corticosterone to cortisol in man), plays a role in driving age-related chronic disease. In this study, we have examined the impact of ageing on glucocorticoid metabolism, insulin tolerance, adiposity, muscle strength, and blood pressure in both wildtype (WT) and transgenic male mice with a global deletion of 11β-HSD1 (11β-HSD1−/−) following 4 months high-fat feeding. We found that high fat-fed 11β-HSD1−/− mice were protected from age-related glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinemia when compared to age/diet-matched WTs. By contrast, aged 11β-HSD1−/− mice were not protected from the onset of sarcopenia observed in the aged WTs. Young 11β-HSD1−/− mice were partially protected from diet-induced obesity; however, this partial protection was lost with age. Despite greater overall obesity, the aged 11β-HSD1−/− animals stored fat in more metabolically safer adipose depots as compared to the aged WTs. Serum analysis revealed both WT and 11β-HSD1−/− mice had an age-related increase in morning corticosterone. Surprisingly, 11β-HSD1 oxo-reductase activity in the liver and skeletal muscle was unchanged with age in WT mice and decreased in gonadal adipose tissue. These data suggest that deletion of 11β-HSD1 in high fat-fed, but not chow-fed, male mice protects from age-related insulin resistance and supports a metabolically favourable fat distribution.

In brief

Xenografts of human ovarian cortical tissue provide a tractable model of heterotopic autotransplantation that is used for fertility preservation in patients undergoing ablative chemo/radiotherapy. This study describes the behavior of hundreds of xenografts to establish a framework for the clinical function of ovarian cortex following autotransplantation over short- and long-term intervals.

More than 200 live births have been achieved using autotransplantation of cryopreserved ovarian cortical fragments, yet challenges remain to be addressed. Ischemia of grafted tissue undermines viability and longevity, typically requiring transplantation of multiple cortical pieces; and the dynamics of recruitment within a graft and the influence of parameters like size and patient age at the time of cryopreservation are not well-defined. Here, we describe results from a series of experiments in which we xenografted frozen/thawed human ovarian tissue (n  = 440) from 28 girls and women (age range 32 weeks gestational age to 46 years, median 24.3 ± 4.6). Xenografts were recovered across a broad range of intervals (1–52 weeks post-transplantation) and examined histologically to quantify follicle density and distribution. The number of antral follicles in xenografted cortical fragments correlated positively with the total follicle number and was significantly reduced with increased patient age. Within xenografts, follicles were distributed in focal clusters, similar to the native ovary, but the presence of a leading antral follicle coincided with increased proliferation of surrounding follicles. These results underscore the importance of transplanting ovarian tissue with a high density of follicles and elucidate a potential paracrine influence of leading antral follicles on neighboring follicles of earlier stages. This temporal framework for interpreting the kinetics of follicle growth/mobilization may be useful in setting expectations and guiding the parameters of clinical autotransplantation.

In brief

Glucagon-like peptide-1 stimulates stem Leydig cell development. Glucagon-like peptide-1 stimulates stem Leydig cell differentiation without affecting its proliferation.

The regulators of stem Leydig cell (SLC) development remain largely unknown. The effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on rat SLC proliferation and differentiation was investigated using a 3D tissue culture system and an ethane dimethane sulfonate (EDS)-treated in vivo LC regeneration model. RNA-seq analysis was performed to analyze pathways in which GLP-1 may be involved. GLP-1 (3 and 30 nmol/L) significantly increased medium testosterone abundances and upregulated the expression of Scarb1, Cyp11a1, and Hsd11b1. GLP-1 in vitro did not affect SLC proliferation by 5-Ethynyl-2’- deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation assay. Intratesticular injection of GLP-1 (10 and 100 ng/testis) into the LC-depleted testis from day 14 to day 28 post-EDS significantly increased serum testosterone abundances and upregulated the expression of Cyp11a1, Hsd3b1, and Hsd11b1. It did not affect the number of HSD11B1+ and CYP11A1+ LCs. RNA-seq analysis revealed that GLP-1 upregulated several pathways, including cAMP-PKA-EPAC1 and MEK/ERK1/2. GLP-1 stimulates SLC differentiation without affecting its proliferation, showing its novel action and mechanism on rat SLC development.
La no respuesta a la autoubicación ideológica: una distribución social del silencio
Authors: Camino Edorta
Published: October 2022

El presente trabajo trata la cuestión de la incidencia de la no respuesta (no sabe/no contesta) en la variable sobre la autoubicación ideológica planteada en las encuestas del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS). El estudio busca encontrar el perfil de las personas que optan por esa opción de no respuesta ante el continuum dicotómico entre ser de ideología de izquierdas o de derechas. A través de un análisis estadístico de regresión logística binaria, el trabajo inquiere si, detrás de este silencio, existe una proporción mayoritaria de personas que poseen una ideología apolítica y/o que se abstienen en las elecciones electorales. Un silencio, además, que se da con más frecuencia entre los colectivos menos favorecidos por el sistema económico mundial: mujeres, ancianos, obreros, campesinos y personas con estudios primarios.
El hábitat rural como medio facilitador del clientelismo. El caso de la provincia de Ourense (2000-2020)
Authors: Barreiro Castro Luis
Published: October 2022

En este trabajo se va a justificar como el hábitat rural en general y, más específicamente, los municipios de menor población son un medio propicio para el desarrollo de redes clientelares, las cuales, una vez asentadas en este entorno, tienen una gran importancia tanto en el funcionamiento interno de las formaciones políticas como en los resultados electorales. Para ello, en primer lugar, a partir de fuentes periodísticas, se aborda la figura de José Luis Baltar Pumar, lo que permite comprobar la importancia de estas redes en el funcionamiento de las formaciones políticas, y más concretamente en el Partido Popular de Ourense durante el presente siglo. En segundo lugar, se cuantifica la importancia electoral del poder local en los municipios, teniendo en cuenta su población, mediante una metodología que minimiza el efecto composición, lo que permite identificar los ámbitos en los que su influencia es mayor. Por último, se aportan una serie de argumentos que permiten relacionar la importancia electoral de los alcaldes rurales, en las elecciones no municipales, con la presencia de redes clientelares.
El papel del Estado territorial en el auge de Occidente: una aproximación geopolítica
Authors: Vidal Pérez Esteban
Published: October 2022

William H. McNeill inició el debate sobre el auge de Occidente, lo que originó una variada cantidad de estudios desde diferentes disciplinas y perspectivas. Entre estos enfoques se encuentran las explicaciones institucionales. Sin embargo, estas contribuciones pasan por alto el papel del Estado territorial. Por ello, este artículo pretende aclarar cómo influyó esta forma de Estado en el triunfo de la civilización occidental. En este sentido este artículo aborda el tema desde un punto de vista geopolítico. Comienza exponiendo las teorías más destacadas sobre el origen del Estado y continúa con la discusión del marco de análisis. El argumento central del artículo es que el Estado territorial introdujo un cambio decisivo en la organización del espacio que supuso el fortalecimiento de sus capacidades internas para movilizar y extraer recursos. De este modo, el Estado territorial impulsó el gasto militar, lo que dio lugar a revoluciones militares. Como resultado de esto las potencias occidentales alcanzaron una superioridad estratégica sobre los imperios chino y otomano. Estos imperios no pudieron reunir los recursos suficientes para alcanzar a los Estados europeos debido a su modo de organizar el espacio.

Published: October 2022

Digitized growth pattern images of wood-rotting fungi Fomitopsis palustris (FOM) and Trametes versicolor (TRA) were used with a video processing program with a new formula to calculate the numerical results of microbial inhibition by an active substance (wood vinegar). First, images of daily growth pattern were collected to generate calibration curves for each fungus. FOM stopped growing in 7 days, whereas TRA stopped growing in 11 days. The calibration curves FOM and TRA showed R2 = 0.9899 and 0.8880, respectively. The new methods allow numerical comparison by adding different concentrations of active components (wood vinegar) to assess the inhibition effect of microbial growth. Using the formula allowed the results of inhibition effect to be collected as numerical data. Through the image data, it was possible to present daily inhibitory efficacy data in detail, numerically. Based on these results, microbial growth pattern could be evaluated.

Authors: Dera Cheri F. A. , Nurma Suri
Published: October 2022

Several medications are prescribed for infants and children, but adequate information about these drugs are unavailable. Previous studies also revealed that the use of off-label drug is prevalent among pediatric outpatients. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of off-label drug use in pediatric outpatients at Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Lampung Hospital from January–June 2019. This observational descriptive was conducted using simple random and retrospective sampling methods. Drugs were identified using a brochure, British National Formulary for Children (BNF), and Specialist Health Science Formulary from the Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI), followed by classification with the Anatomical Therapeutical Chemical (ATC). The results showed that there were 120 samples, of which 56% are males, while 42% are within the age range of 6–12 years. The most common diagnoses were SNRS, followed by epilepsy and anemia. A total of 393 drugs were used in this study and analgesic-antipyretic was the most prescribed. The prevalence of off-label drug usage in pediatric patients was 19.6%, where the off-label age was higher (16.29%) than indication (2,81%) and doses (0,5). Furthermore, most of these medications were for the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and metabolic systems. There has been a 19,6% prevalence in the use of off-label drug among pediatric outpatients, where off-label age was the highest, and most of the medication are used for the treatment of the cardiovascular system.

Published: October 2022

The objective of this study was to identify a Shiga toxin-producing strain Escherichia coli partial rfbE and fliCh7 gene of O157:H7 isolated from a faeces sample collected from a live chicken in a traditional market in Bogor, Indonesia. The isolate was investigated using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect stx1, stx2, rfbE, and fliCh7 gene of STEC O157:H7. Then, sequencing was applied to identify the antigen markers, which are the rfbE and fliCh7 genes. In the present study, the isolate which was obtained from a live chicken was successfully identified as STEC O157:H7 strain. This conclusion was based on multiplex PCR and a nucleotide sequence analysis. This pathogen was not only found in the live chicken, but it was further suggested that the rfbE and fliCh7 genes can be used as alternative targets for molecular identification of this pathogen.

Published: October 2022

This paper presents a deep learning model to address the problem of recognition of animals and plants. The context of this work is to make an effort in protection of rare species that are seriously faced to the risk of extinction in Vietnam such as Panthera pardus, Dalbergia cochinchinensis, Macaca mulatta. The proposed approach exploits the advanced learning ability of convolutional neural networks and Inception residual structures to design a lightweight model for classification task. We also apply the transfer learning technique to fine-tune the two state-of-the-art methods, MobileNetV2 and InceptionV3, specific to our own dataset. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our object predictor (e.g., 95.8% accuracy) in comparison with other methods. In addition, the proposed model works very efficiently with the inference speed of around 113 FPS on a CPU machine, enabling it for deployment on mobile environment.

Published: October 2022

Detecting community structure on social network has been an important and interesting issue on which many researchers have paid much attention and developed applications. Many graph clustering algorithms have been applied to find disjoint communities, i.e each node belongs to a single community. However, for social network in particular, public communication network in general, most of communities are not completely detached but they may be embedding, overlapping or crossing, that means certain nodes can belong to more than one community. Overlapping node plays a role of interface between communities and it is really interesting to study the community establishment of these nodes because it reflects dynamic behaviuor of participants.This article introduces the algorithm to find overlapping communities on huge social network. The proposed COPACN algorithm has been developed on the basis of label propagation, using advanced clustering coefficient to find overlapping communities on social network. Exprermental results on a set of popular, standard social networks and certain real network have shown the high speed and high effiency in finding overlapping structures.

Published: October 2022

Object detection methods based on Deep Learning are the revolution of the Computer Vision field in general and object detection problems in particular. In detail, they are methods that belonged to the R - CNN family: Faster R - CNN and Cascade R - CNN. The characteristic of them is the Region Proposal Network, which is utilized for generating proposal regions that may include objects or not, then the proposals will be classified by the IoU threshold. In this study, we apply dynamic training, which adjusts this IoU threshold depending on the statistic of proposal regions on the Faster R - CNN and Cascade R - CNN, training on the SeaShips and DODV dataset. Cascade R - CNN with dynamic training achieve higher results compared to normal on both two datasets (higher 0.2% and 5.7% on the SeaShips and DODV dataset, respectively). In the DODV dataset, Faster R - CNN with dynamic training also perform higher results compared to its normal version, 4.4% higher.
NUMERICAL METHOD FOR SOLVING THE DIRICHLET BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR NONLINEAR TRIHARMONIC EQUATION
Authors: A Dang Quang , Nguyen Quoc Hung , Vu Vinh Quang
Published: October 2022

In this work, we consider the Dirichlet boundary value problem for nonlinear triharmonic equation. Due to the reduction of the problem to operator equation for the pair of the right hand side function and the unknown second normal derivative of the function to be sought, we design an iterative method at both continuous and discrete levels for numerical solution of the problem. Some examples demonstrate that the numerical method is of fourth order convergence. When the right hand side function does not depend on the unknown function and its derivatives, the numerical method gives more accurate results in comparison with the results obtained by the interior method of Gudi and Neilan.

Objective: The article proposes a method for assessing the level of leadership competences using a range of assessment criteria. The following research question was adopted: How can the level of leadership competencies be assessed reliably based on the evaluation criteria adopted, and with a synthetic approach (in cross-sections of criteria groups and all criteria jointly)? Leaders’ behaviour was the criterion adopted for assessing the level of leadership competences.Research Design & Methods: Following a presentation of other methods that have been used to assess leadership competences, the multi-criteria method proposed for this paper was based on Roy’s concept of complete aggregation. The method makes it possible to assess the level of leadership competences in the breakdowns included in the research problem. Literature studies and a scientific description were used as general research methods.Findings: The result of the research is a procedure for assessing leadership competences using Roy’s complete aggregation, adapted to the requirements of the adopted research problem. It offers the additional possibility of formalising the assessment of leadership competences.Implications / Recommendations: The results of the research allow us to assume that the proposed procedure makes it possible to assess, in the practice of organisation management, the level of leadership competences in various cross-sections of the criteria for their evaluation. However, the final decisions on the assessment of that level in people, on the basis of the results of the adopted procedure, will be made by humans.Contribution: The author’s proposal contributes to the theory on leadership competences, offers practical guidance on filling leadership positions in an organisation and determining training needs.

In the current conditions of aggravating the geopolitical situation, tightening of foreign economic sanctions, growth of currency volatility and the pandemic of coronavirus, the development of any branch of the economy and the region is impossible without the development of a balanced system of support measures at the macro level. The article analyses objective conditions and management factors of the formation of a favorable investment environment in order to ensure the sustainable development of the regional agro-industrial complex. The definition of the investment environment of the agro-industrial complex of the region is given. The assessment of trends in the investment attractiveness and investment climate of the regions of the Southern Federal District was carried out. The focus of modern approaches to the assessment of investment attractiveness is given which is based on factors of social and environmental responsibility and they are reflected and the ESG-rating of regions. Based on the analysis of investments and investment projects in the regions of the Southern Federal District, regions with a high share of investment projects in the agro-industrial sector were identified. The tools and mechanisms for the development of investment attractiveness of the agro-industrial complex at the regional level are systematized. The main financial and non-financial methods of state support of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex of the region were analyzed: preferential lending, provision of subsidies for reimbursement of part of incurred costs, preferential leasing, provision of grants, information support, reduction of administrative barriers, establishment of consulting centers and others. It is shown that in the conditions of tightening foreign economic sanctions, regional levels of government are developing a set of measures as part of the general strategy of the Government of the Russian Federation to maintain the stability of industry markets in the regions. Based on the assessment of agro-industrial development trends, the key factors for the success of the industry and enterprises were identified. The conducted systematization of risks in the field of agroindustrial production made it possible to suggest a system of methods for managing them from the perspective of improvement the investment of environment of the agro-industrial complex.

Background. The guidelines on selection between iron preparations, iron sulfate (IS) and iron III hydroxide polymaltose complex (HPC), for iron deficiency anemia (IDA) management in pediatrics are contradictory. Objective. The aim of the study is to compare efficacy and safety of iron (III) HPC and IS for IDA treatment in children. Materials and methods. Randomization of children (aged from 1 month to 18 years) with IDA into 2 therapeutic groups was implemented in 2019-2020. on pediatric districts of children’s city outpatient's clinic: IS dosage of 3 mg/kg/day and iron (III) HPC dosage of 5 mg/kg/day. Hemogram monitoring was performed every 14 days. The efficacy was compared according to the rate of Hb level increase, erythrocytes indices, and serum ferritin (SF) level at the recorded moment of Hb normalization. For the safety — the rate of adverse effects. Results. 65 children with IDA were included in the study and randomized into 2 groups, the median age was 2.3 years (1st; 3rd quartile = 1.1; 4.3). Hb level increase was comparable in both groups (0.34 (0.23; 0.48) g/L/day and 0.24 (0.21; 0.30) g/L/day, р = 0.891). IS is more effective than iron (III) HPC in terms of average red blood cell volume by the time of Hb normalization (83.5 (80.0; 86.7) fl against 80.7 (79.0; 82.0) fl, р = 0.006), and mean cellular hemoglobin content (28.9 (SD = 2.0) pg against 27.4 (SD = 1.8) pg, р = 0.004). The timing of SF levels normalization did not differ. Adverse effects to iron III HPC treatment occurred 5.5 times more frequently than to IS (p = 0.0001). Conclusion. The efficacy of IS and iron III HPC at standard doses is comparable. The advantage in tolerability and recovery of erythrocytic indices justifies the feasibility of using IS preparations in the first line of treatment for children with IDA.

Various human lifestyle and environmental factors are known to influence sleep. The number of adults and children suffering from chronic sleep disorders has grown over the past decade. Lack of sleep and impaired circadian rhythms have been proven to be associated with adverse metabolic health effects. Often, such disorders are associated with gastrointestinal tract diseases, and accompanied by dysbiosis. Significant number of studies have been conducted on animal models in recent years. They have shown the correlation between the gut microbiota and brain functions. According to these results scientists have clearly demonstrated the role of gut microbiota in regulating brain function, sleep, and behavior. The number of studies with volunteers is currently limited. The bacteria forming gut microbiota have significant impact on human health by synthesizing and secreting biologically active substances such as vitamins, essential amino acids, lipids, and others. Moreover, they have an indirect effect by modulating metabolic processes and the immune system. Changes in gut microbiota diversity occur due to the lack of sleep and shifting circadian rhythms, and it can lead to changes in the structure and function of microorganisms living in the gut. This can lead to changes in the composition and number of metabolites synthesized by these microorganisms (such as short-chain fatty acids and secondary bile acids) which contributes to the development of chronic inflammation, increased body weight and endocrine changes. This article provides the literature review on issues of interaction between gut microbiota and processes occurring during sleep.

This study is prepared to analyze the heat transfer from a uniformly heated, slightly curved convex (SCX) surface numerically using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code of commercial software ANSYS-CFX. Some experimental results are also obtained by means of a wind tunnel setup to confirm the results of numerical study. After a good agreement is achieved between the experimental and numerical results, the effects of some major parameters on heat transfer around the SCX surface are determined by using numerical results. Effects of Prandtl number (Pr = 0.237 to 3431), Reynolds number (Re = 40,000 and 400,000), and curvature ratio (CR = 1,2, and 4) on local Nusselt number (Nu) along the circumference of SCX are the extracted results. Additionally, new correlations of Nu depending on Re, Pr, and CR are obtained.

The prime outcomes of this mathematical investigation are provided here. An exact numerical CFD solution is provided for the turbulent external flow around the curved surface appearing in this study. The graphical solutions of Nu number that show the heat transfer rate of the system can be divided into three regions for various Re numbers. The maximum average heat transfer is observed in the case of higher curvature ratio.
