Background: Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer to have health benefits when consumed directly or processed. Regular administration of Probiotics would help in improving the gut microflora that has gained importance as bacteriotherapy which prevents the gastro-intestinal disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms. Vegans who are allergic or intolerant to dairy products can have the benefits of organic acids that are produced through fermentation. The present study was carried out to know the benefits of fermented products using kefir grains and fruits. Methods: The fermented product was tested for the evaluation of flavours, sensory, and shelf life which seemed to be very promising. In context to biomolecules, the product had a high concentration of absorbable protein, carbohydrate, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Result: The production of fermented beverages of certain fruits on a large scale, and its consumption may promote additional health benefits. The kefir beverage that is produced in this work may help to fill the gap between actual and innovative consumption of the fruits and kefir that may be recommended in the human diet with concern for their health.

Published: March 2024

Since many childbirth education (CBE) courses have moved online, there is a need for a pedagogical design model for online learning. In this study, an online CBE course was flipped, user studies were conducted, and a pedagogical design model was developed. Flipped learning was chosen as it combines asynchronous and synchronous learning activities. The developed model was further strengthened by conducting a pilot study with public health nurses. User data were collected with questionnaires and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. The results show that in informal learning settings, emphasis should be on which elements are asynchronous or synchronous and mandatory or voluntary. Additionally, time management and interaction between participants and their peers and the instructor should be considered for future training.

Published: March 2024

Research indicates gaps in postpartum care that negatively impact maternal and infant health. Prior research exploring clinicians’ perspectives on these gaps is limited to those of maternal providers. We explored the views and experiences of maternal and infant health-care providers on the care of mothers and infants in the postpartum period. Qualitative analysis revealed three themes: Gaps in Infant Care Education and Preparation for Parenting, Gaps in Maternal Pregnancy and Postpartum Care and Expectations and Knowledge, and Ideas for Integrating Care, Education, and Support in the postpartum period. Results suggest a need for care models that offer improved prenatal education and expectation setting, methods to help mothers prepare their social support networks, and integrated and convenient access to postpartum care.

Published: March 2024

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is one of the most frequent forms of violence observed by one member of the family, particularly the dominant member, to control the other member of the relationship. This study aimed to investigate the antecedents and consequences of IPV in couples’ relationships from the perspective of married Afghan immigrant women living in Iran. The participants included 253 married Afghan women living in Iran between 18 and 57 years old who participated in the study via an online survey and answered questions about the four forms of IPV experienced measured by Conflict Tactic Scales-Revised (CTS-2), Symptoms of Depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder Scale, Relationship Assessment Scale, and the Social Support Scale. According to the findings, Afghan immigrant women experienced psychological, physical, sexual, and controlling behaviors and any kind of IPV of 54%, 41%, 23%, 61%, and 71% prevalence, respectively, in the last 12 months. Age, self-education and partner education, economic status, type of marriage (love or traditional), and the number of children also have a significant association with IPV (p< .01). The results showed that women who experienced IPV significantly reported lower levels of social support and marital satisfaction and higher symptoms of depression and PTSD than women who did not experience IPV (p< .01). Considering the prevalence of violent behavior in Afghan immigrant women who have less access to the support network in the country of origin, empowering them and creating supportive conditions for them can control the negative consequences of violence and provide a basis for psychological interventions by specialists.

Published: March 2024

Introduction. Anaesthesia is frequently administered through Monitored Anaesthesia Care (MAC) utilising various combinations of anaesthetic drugs for moderately painful operations like Dilatation and Curettage (D&C), which is preferably done as a daycare procedure. The hunt for improved drug combinations is always ongoing, and the pharmacological properties of the individual drugs are considered. In this regard, anaesthesiologists all over the world are quite fond of the combination of Ketamine and Propofol, which is also known as Ketofol. Recently, especially in situations involving MRI sedation, the combination of ketamine and dexmedetomidine (Dexket) has gained popularity. This study compares the combinations for MAC during D&C surgeries in a daycare setting.
Aim. The primary objective was to estimate the recovery times using either combination. Secondarily, we would also compare the duration of analgesia, the haemodynamics, and the side-effect profiles of the two combinations.
Material and Methods. This study enrolled 60 patients posted for elective D&C. According to standard institutional protocols, they were administered Ketofol(KP group) or Dexket(KD group), depending on the anaesthesia provider’s choice. The Ketofol group received Ketamine 1mg/kg and Propofol 1mg/kg with boluses of Ketamine 0.25mg/kg to maintain the depth of anaesthesia using Ramsay sedation score(RSS) >3. KD group received Dexmedetomidine intravenously 1mic/kg over 10 minutes followed by ketamine 1mg/kg boluses of Ketamine 0.25mg/kg to maintain the adequate anaesthetic depth of RSS>3.
Results. The Recovery time in post-operative period was significantly prolonged in the KD group (mean 22.77 minutes) compared to the KP group (mean 17.8 minutes). The total duration of analgesia was also longer in the KD group (250 minutes vs 220 minutes in the KP group). It was seen that the hemodynamic variables (HR, SBP, DBP) were consistently higher in the KD group compared to the KP group. There was a significant difference in SBP, DBP, and MAP in the intraoperative period between the KP and KD groups till 4hr in the postoperative period.
Conclusions. We conclude that a combination of Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine has longer recovery times and analgesia duration than a combination of Propofol and Ketamine. Side effects like postoperative nausea and vomiting are not significant. However, since the recovery times are comparatively longer in a daycare setting, dexmedetomidine and Ketamine may not be the preferred agents compared to the combination of Ketamine and Propofol in the context of a daycare setting.

Published: March 2024

Every company is expected to pay out taxes in accordance with the laws that have been rooted by the government regarding earnings. On the other hand, there are a number of organizational structures that do not adhere to the need that they pay taxes as a matter of law. The objective of this study is to investigate the connection between profitability and debt in the context of companies avoiding tax payments. A wide variety of energy-related companies are included in this study, which listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between the years 2018 and 2022. During the course of the sample collection, which was carried out using the approach of purposive sampling, a total of 170 data were observed. Utilizing SPSS Version 26, which was built for the purpose of this study, the application of the interaction model of moderated regression analysis was carried out on the data that was gathered for this investigation. Therefore, these models are easier to comprehend due to the fact that this is the case. It has been shown via statistical analysis that there is no connection between tax avoidance and earnings. It is possible that the size of the company will have an impact on the use of leverage to avoid paying taxes. Nevertheless, the size of the company does not have any bearing on the use of profitability for the purpose of tax avoidance. The results of this research prove that previous research is still inconsistent and grand theory can still be used as a basis for developing hypotheses.

ABSTRACT

If an athlete wants to have a good physical condition, then the player or athlete must improve their physical condition so that an athlete is able and easy to perform a technique appropriately and well, and does not easily get tired when participating in training or competition, training can be passed by right, and something that is not desired or even constrained, can be resolved by having an athlete's desire to learn, and following the training appropriately and correctly Physical condition is very necessary, for a student or athlete because if the physical condition is less automatic, the desire to become a champion will experience various difficulties and it is impossible to achieve high achievement. The physical condition status for a badminton or badminton player will be able to provide a point or value to achieve the target or target in order to enter the national plate according to the criteria determined by the national plate. The training conditions for badminton can be interpreted as the ability of individual athletes who will take a player or athlete to a higher level and can measure the extent to which an athlete is capable. As well as good athletes must master the various components to support achievement. One of the ways to determine the physical condition of an athlete is influenced by the appropriate pattern of recovery. Not only that, the coach is also an indispensable support for an athlete in order to increase the performance of an athlete. A professional trainer has competence in his / her field of expertise.

Quantitative Analysis of Diagenesis Control on the Spatial Heterogeneity of Sarvak Carbonate Formation, the Dezful Embayment of Zagros Basin, Western Iran
Authors: Mehdipour Vali , Rabbani Ahmad Reza , Kadkhodaie Ali
Published: March 2024

The heterogeneity indices in conventional carbonate reservoirs are usually influenced by various diagenetic processes. The main aim of this study is to build 3D geological models of the diagenetic and heterogeneity indices addressing the role of diagenesis on spatial heterogeneity variations in the Sarvak carbonate reservoir of an Iranian oil field situated in the Dezful Embayment in the Zagros Basin. Vertical heterogeneity has been discussed in many studies, but the literature is limited on the 3D geological modeling of heterogeneity and providing spatial heterogeneity maps. In this study, we determined the main diagenetic parameters influencing the reservoir heterogeneity and constructed 3D geological models for evaluating the spatial heterogeneity. A couple of heterogeneity indices including the coefficients of variation (CVs) of porosity and permeability, Lorenz coefficient, and Dykstra-Parsons coefficient in cored intervals along with some diagenetic parameters were calculated and modeled. This study shows that lateral heterogeneity is mappable and correlatable with different diagenetic overprints along with shale volume, which controls the reservoir quality and spatial heterogeneity. It also indicates that lateral trends of the heterogeneity indices in different zones of the studied reservoir are influenced by other diagenetic parameters such as secondary porosity (SPI), dolomitization, cementation, and velocity deviation log (VDL, as a diagenetic index). Different diagenetic parameters control reservoir heterogeneity in each zone by decreasing or increasing the degree of the heterogeneity, some of which have dual constructive or destructive effects on heterogeneity indices. Moreover, the results show that the effect of shale volume on reservoir heterogeneity is significant, especially when the amount of the shale volume is notable.
The Causal Effect of an Intergroup Contact Intervention on Affective Polarization around Brexit: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Published: March 2024

With mounting evidence of the increase and harmful societal consequences of affective polarization, it is crucial to find ways of addressing it. This proof-of concept study tested the effects of a theory-based intervention on affective polarization in the context of Brexit. Sixty Leaver-Remainer dyads were randomized to engage in either a facilitated intergroup interaction or a control interaction, which was equivalent in structure and tone but was unrelated to Brexit identities. Different aspects of affective polarization were measured one month prior, immediately after, and one month after the intervention. Results indicate short-term intervention effects on intergroup affect and cognition, and willingness to compromise with the outgroup, but these mostly decayed over time. Evidence of selective attrition suggests that those with more extreme baseline opinions were more likely to drop out. The findings are of considerable importance for efforts to reduce affective polarization and highlight the challenge of engaging those who could benefit the most.
National climate strategies show inequalities in global development of geological storage of CO2
Authors: Roberts Jennifer , Alcalde Juan , Johnson Gareth
Published: March 2024

CO2 geological storage (CGS) is considered critical for limiting global average temperature rise to below 1.5°C by mitigating fossil industrial emissions and delivering permanent carbon dioxide removals. We examine the role of CGS in long-term national emission reduction strategies submitted to the UNFCCC under the Paris Agreement. We find that a third of countries plan to develop CGS for emissions mitigation only, and a third for both emissions mitigation and carbon removals, but no countries plan on CGS for carbon removals alone. Neither the presence or performance of CO2 storage maturity assessments correspond to CGS plans. The climate strategies of high-income countries with high historic oil and gas production show firmest commitment to CGS. These countries already have multiple advantages for implementing and benefiting from CGS, which raises inequalities and sensitivities that must be carefully considered when designing carbon market and climate finance policies and frameworks for CGS development.
Lowering the Barrier: Importance of A-Site Cation Chemistry in Superionic Halide Solid Electrolytes

Published: March 2024

Halide solid electrolytes do not currently display ionic conductivities suitable for high-power all-solid-state batteries. We explore the model system A2ZrCl6 (A = Li, Na, Cu, Ag) to understand the fundamental role that A-site chemistry plays on fast ion transport. Having synthesised Ag2ZrCl6 for the first time we reveal exceptional room temperature ionic conductivities in Cu2ZrCl6 and Ag2ZrCl6 of 1 × 10−2 and 4 × 10−3 S cm−1, respectively. We introduce the concept that there are inherent limits to ionic conductivity in solids, where the energy and number of transition states play pivotal roles. Transport that involves multiple coordination changes along the pathway suffer from an intrinsic minimum activation energy. At certain lattice sizes, the energies of different coordinations can become equivalent, leading to remarkably lower barriers when a pathway involves a single coordination change. Our models provide a deeper understanding into the optimisation and design criteria for halide superionic conductors.

Purpose
This study is to evaluate the accuracy of a deep learning reconstruction method based on sinogram with 99mTc-3PRGD2 chest SPECT. The aim is to shorten the local SPECT scanning time by 50% while preserving the quality of the images, allowing for faster completion of full-body SPECT scanning.
Materials and Methods
The images were selected from 33 patients diagnosed with lung cancer both clinically and pathologically. The full-projection and half-projection reconstruction techniques were used to create SPECT tomographic images. All the projection images were used as the " Ground Truth ", and half of the images were used to create full-projection SPECT images. A training dataset 28 for the building model and a test dataset 5 were used to evaluate the image quality by measuring the image error of the test dataset.
Result
The evaluation results of the image quality for the 99mTc-3PRGD2 chest SPECT images using the deep learning reconstruction method based on sinogram were based on 5 test datasets. The following metrics were calculated: mean absolute error (MAE), mean-square error (MSE), Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity (SSIM), normalized root mean square error (NRSM), and normalized Mutual Information (NMI). The average values of PSNR and SSIM were found to be 46.43 ± 5.05 and 0.92 ± 0.02, respectively. The mean values for MAE, MSE, NRSM, and NMI were 1.04 ± 0.52, 9.54 ± 7.24, 0.07 ± 0.03, and 1.59 ± 0.04, respectively.
Conclusion
A novel approach to SPECT imaging involves using deep learning and selecting only half of the projections to reconstruct SPECT images directly from a sinogram. This technique has been shown to yield tomographic images of comparable quality to those obtained from full projection images while reducing scanning time for 99mTc-3PRGD2 chest SPECT by 50%.

Published: March 2024

Various Foundation Models (FMs) have been built based on the pre-training and fine-tuning framework to analyze single-cell data with different degrees of success. In this manuscript, we propose a method named scELMo (Single-cell Embedding from Language Models), to analyze single cell data that utilizes Large Language Models (LLMs) as a generator for both the description of metadata information and the embeddings for such descriptions. We combine the embeddings from LLMs with the raw data under the zero-shot learning framework to further extend its function by using the fine-tuning framework to handle different tasks. We demonstrate that scELMo is capable of cell clustering, batch effect correction, and cell-type annotation without training a new model. Moreover, the fine-tuning framework of scELMo can help with more challenging tasks including in-silico treatment analysis or modeling perturbation. scELMo has a lighter structure and lower requirement for resources. Moreover, our method is comparable to recent large-scale FMs (such as scGPT, [1] Geneformer [2]) based on our evaluations, suggesting a promising path for developing domain-specific FMs.

Homomorphic encryption performs computations on encrypted data without decrypting, thereby eliminating security issues during the data communication between clouds and edges. As a result, there is a growing need for homomorphic encryption hardware (HE-HW) for the edges, where low power consumption and a compact form factor are desired. Here, a Pt/Ta2O5/Mo metallic cluster-type memristors (Mo-MCM) characterized by the Mo as a mobile species, and its utilization for the HE-HW via a 1-trasistor-1-memristor (1T1M) array as a prototype HE-HW is proposed. The Mo-MCM exhibits inherent stochastic set-switching behavior, which can be utilized for generating the random numbers required for encryption key generation. Furthermore, the device can accurately store analog conductance states after set-switching, which can be used as an analog non-volatile memristor. By simultaneously leveraging these two characteristics, encryption key generation, data encryption, and decryption are possible within a single device through an in-memory computing manner. With the idea, the complete homomorphic communication process using the HE-HW is demonstrated, presenting new pathways for memristor-based hardware technology.

The south-west of Madagascar faces various climate hazards, especially rising water levels. Each year, the city of Toliara is subjected to quick and devastating floods, which appear to have increased in intensity and frequency. In addition, this region is one that represents completely the “north/south fracture”, that is to say a “...technologic fracture between northern countries and southern countries concerning the availability of data and the model deployment constraints” (Payet, 2015). Thus, all the hydrometric data available for this region are incomplete. Based on this issue of missing data, this study is divided into two parts: the first is the reconstruction of the data and the second is the modeling of these data to obtain a rigorous representation of the chronicles. First, the reconstruction part must fulfill the following two conditions: (i) represent the overall dynamics of the series and (ii) be simple enough to easily take them into account in the analysis and interpretation at the end of the modeling. We offer a way to reconstruct these missing data by combining seasonal decomposition methods and simple linear regression. After that, we use classic statistical methods to adjust the model to our chronicles. We obtain two types of model: a SARIMA model, which is a Seasonally Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average model, and an ARIMAX model (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average with eXogeneous inputs), which is a combination of a linear model and our SARIMA model. The two models are quite functional as we tested their quality and the statistical significance of their coefficients. This method can help scientists working in southern countries not to discard incomplete data but to exploit them as much as possible because they convey important and usable information, as long as we consider the uncertainty of their conditions of creation.

Objective: To investigate the effects of the short-term spinal cord stimulation (stSCS) on the rates of tracheal decannulation in patients of brain injury with disorders of consciousness (DoC).
Methods: 81 patients of brain injury with DoC after tracheotomy treated in Ganzhou People’s hospital from June 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: We divided the patients into two groups, 46 patients who underwent stSCS as observation group, and 35 patients who did not undergo stSCS under the same conditions as the control group. The rates of decannulation were compared between the two groups. The rates of decannulation were 50% in the observation group and 25.7% in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups.
Conclusion: stSCS can improve the rates of decannulation in patients of brain injury with DoC.
Identifying the NT-proBNP-related lncRNAs and miRNAs in cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury by RNA-sequencing

Published: March 2024

Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is a severe clinical condition that imposes substantial social and economic burdens worldwide. Imbalances in water and salt homeostasis and inflammatory responses are considered significant factors contributing to CS-AKI. Our previous research reported that preoperative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) served as a reliable predictor of CS-AKI. Additionally, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that dysregulated expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) is implicated in the pathological processes of CS-AKI. However, the roles and molecular mechanisms through which NT-proBNP regulates lncRNA and miRNA in CS-AKI remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to identify the expression profiles of lncRNAs and miRNAs in the BNP-high and BNP-stable groups, as well as the AKI and non-AKI groups, using RNA-sequencing. Our analysis identified 105 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and 138 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) in the BNP grouping. Interestingly, we found 7 common DELs and DEMs in both the BNP grouping and AKI grouping. Through comprehensive analysis of the Gene Ontology (GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment results of the target genes of these 7 DELs and DEMs, along with relevant literature reports, we identified miR-135a-5p, miR-138-5p, miR-143-3p, and miR-206 as potential key players in CS-AKI, particularly in mediating water and salt metabolism and inflammatory responses. These findings offer new insights into the research direction and potential treatment strategies for CS-AKI.

Background
Domestic abuse (DA) and suicidal ideation (SI) are highly prevalent in the United Kingdom, often co-occurring. Numerous practical and psychosocial barriers inhibit help-seeking. This study explored whether community pharmacy could offer an accessible setting for a DA and SI response service.
Methods
12 pharmacies were recruited from one pharmacy organisation, randomised into 8 intervention pharmacies and 4 controls. 37 pharmacy staff were recruited as participants and trained to deliver the Lifeguard Pharmacy intervention, which involved providing a consultation and structured referral or signposting to customers identified as experiencing DA and/or SI. Participants’ learning from the training was evaluated using the validated CPD reaction questionnaire, analysed using a Paired T-Test The intervention ran from January to July 2023 and was accompanied by a nested process evaluation consisting of staff focus groups and a multi-stakeholder final evaluation workshop with a mix of lay, pharmacy staff and representatives from referral organisations. Data was collected on number and category of client contacts from intervention and control pharmacies; descriptive analyses were performed.
Results
After intervention training, pharmacy staff showed statistically significant improvements in their levels of perceived ability, ease and confidence in responding to and referring people in need of help for DA and SI with increased confidence in the ability of other pharmacy staff to support DA and SI. Staff responded to 24 cases in intervention pharmacies: 8 for suicidal ideation, 9 for domestic abuse and 7 for both domestic abuse and suicidal ideation. Of these, 22 were staff-initiated and two were patient-initiated. Two cases (1 x SI and 1 x DA) were identified in control pharmacies. Staff participants had a positive perception of the service and its impact on them and their clients. The multi-stakeholder workshop findings confirmed the feasibility of a staff-initiated response service for both DA and SI in a community pharmacy setting.
Conclusions
It is feasible to implement a staff-initiated response service for DA and/or SI in selected pharmacies. The combination of staff training, consultation guide, referral tool and client support resources and organisational support empowered staff to proactively identify people experiencing DA and/or SI.
