The boars, used in the artificial insemination process, represent one of the keys points production obtained from fattening pigs. The number of boars for artificial insemination is lower than that required for natural breeding. A full-cycle farm must maintain no than 0.5% boars the sow population. That is why the conditions for the boars must be very special, because they are the most expensive animals on the farm and the most sensitive. This paper describes the seasonal effect on semen production in two different types of maintenance of breeding boars during 2021-2022. The first type of livestock keeping is a slatted room with a simple ventilation and cooling system based on the main farm system. Another type is a separate building, made of energy-efficient materials, with an air-conditioning system and the possibility of keeping boars on the floor with soft wood sawdust bedding. Evidence from the results obtained regarding semen production such as: ejaculate volume, concentration, mobility and number of doses obtained, show that improving the maintenance conditions of the breeding boars, using two different types of maintenance, increases the quality semen and provides the opportunity to produce more doses of better-quality semen.

Studies carried out to evaluate the firstborn cows of Holstein breed (Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy with a conditional bloodline of Holstein above 93.75%) by conformation type. The research base was the breeding farm of PE "Buryns'ke" of Pidlisnivskyi branch in Sumy district. The modern method of linear classification used by two systems: 9-score, de-scribing 18 conformation body parts and 100-score, with a set of four selection traits defining the dairy type, body, limbs and udder. The population-genetic aspect determined by the heritability and correlative variability of linear traits with milk yield of Holstein cows of domestic breeding in Sumy region. Group traits characterizing the dairy type of cows (r = 0.398), body development (r = 0.412), limb condition (r = 0.215), udder morphological qualities (r = 0.466) and final score best correlated with milk yield (r = 0.474). The highest coefficients of heritability were found for the dairy type (h2 = 0.366), body (h2 = 0.328), udder (h2 = 0.385) and final score (h2 = 0.477). The average and moderate heritability level determined for descriptive traits: height (h2 = 0.286), body depth (h2 = 0.275), angularity (h2 = 0.414), rear width (h2 = 0.295), pelvic limbs posture (h2 = 0.274), fore (h2 = 0.351) and rear (h2 = 0.296) udder attachment and central ligament (h2 = 0.294). A sufficient heritability level and correlative variability between linear traits and milk yield allowed effectively select dairy cattle in the direction of improving the conformation and productivity.

Cerebral circulation improvement method using boxing and orthodontic mouthguards
Authors: Tymchenko Andrii
Published: November 2023

Due to the active hostilities in Ukraine, the rates of exacerbations of chronic diseases, trauma to the head and spinal column due to both gunshot wounds and increased force load on the musculoskeletal system have increased significantly. The issue of improving rehabilitation approaches is relevant due to the available statistics on cerebral blood supply pathologies. Given the need for affordable and effective methods of musculoskeletal rehabilitation, the study aims to investigate the effectiveness of orthodontic and boxing mouthguards on the state of cerebral blood vessels. Five patients with a history of contusion and post-traumatic stress disorder were studied at the Kyiv Regional Centre for Mental Health using a physical examination and rheoencephalography. The use of orthodontic and boxing mouthguards showed positive dynamics in the restoration of maxillofacial muscles, compensation of bite height and satisfactory blood supply to brain structures compared to the baseline data. The analysis of the encephalograms showed rheoencephalographic signs of improvement in cerebral circulation: a decrease in spasm of the arterial walls of cerebral vessels, compensation for blood supply deficit, improvement of blood circulation in the carotid basin and venous outflow in the deficit mode were detected. In the examined patients with injuries, pain syndrome and constant mechanical stress on the musculoskeletal system, a decrease in pain and improvement of muscle symmetry in the affected anatomical areas were noted while wearing orthodontic and boxing mouthguards. The obtained results can be implemented in the rehabilitation protocols for patients with concussion, brain concussion, and spinal and skull injuries. The availability and effectiveness of the proposed technique allow it to be used for patients with chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system, especially with complicated blood supply to brain structures

Authors: Ahmadi Ahmadi
Published: November 2023

The goal of this anthropological investigation is to examine how fishing technology innovation in Banjar Regency relates to local knowledge. Using ethnographic techniques, such as participant observation and semi-structured interviews, this study was carried out over the course of six months, from January 2022 to June 2022. Interviews were conducted with 30 people, including 20 fisherman, 5 fish traders, and 5 representatives of the local administration. Following that, the concepts were put into categories. The study's conclusions shed light on the nuanced interplay between conventional wisdom and cutting-edge fishing techniques and showed that local communities ought to be included in the management of freshwater resources. The study also emphasizes the value of striking a balance between profitability and sustainability in fishing methods and emphasizes the necessity for ongoing research and cooperation between government organizations, academics, and local people to overcome the difficulties of sustainable fishing methods. Overall, the results point to the necessity of integrating traditional knowledge into contemporary fishing methods for sustainable fisheries management, and show that excessive reliance on fishing equipment has led to the loss of fish populations and the degradation of the freshwater ecosystem.

Introduction

Sepsis is a life-threatening disease that damages multiple organs and induced by the host’s dysregulated response to infection with high morbidity and mortality. Heart remains one of the most vulnerable targets of sepsis-induced organ damage, and sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) is an important factor that exacerbates the death of patients. However, the underlying genetic mechanism of SIC disease needs further research.

Methods

The transcriptomic dataset, GSE171564, was downloaded from NCBI for further analysis. Gene expression matrices for the sample group were obtained by quartile standardization and log2 logarithm conversion prior to analysis. The time series, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and functional enrichment analysis via Gene Ontology and KEGG Pathway Databases were used to identify key gene clusters and their potential interactions. Predicted miRNA-mRNA relationships from multiple databases facilitated the construction of a TF-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. In vivo experiments, along with qPCR and western blot assays, provided experimental validation.

Results

The transcriptome data analysis between SIC and healthy samples revealed 221 down-regulated, and 342 up-regulated expressed genes across two distinct clusters. Among these, Tpt1, Mmp9 and Fth1 were of particular significance. Functional analysis revealed their role in several biological processes and pathways, subsequently, in vivo experiments confirmed their overexpression in SIC samples. Notably, we found TPT1 play a pivotal role in the progression of SIC, and silencing TPT1 showed a protective effect against LPS-induced SIC.

Conclusion

In our study, we demonstrated that Tpt1, Mmp9 and Fth1 have great potential to be biomarker of SIC. These findings will facilitated to understand the occurrence and development mechanism of SIC.
Sulforaphene suppressed cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis of COV362 cells in endometrioid ovarian cancer
Authors: Yu Hui-Yan , Yang Li , Liu Yuan-Cai , Yu Ai-Jun
Published: November 2023

Aim

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation exerts a regulatory effect on endometrioid ovarian cancer (EOC), but the specific m6A regulator genes in EOC remain to be explored. This study investigated that sulforaphene (Sul) is implicated in EOC development by regulating methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3).

Methods

The dysregulated m6A RNA methylation genes in EOC were determined by methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP-seq) and RNA sequencing. The roles of METTL3 and/or Sul on viability, proliferative ability, cell cycle, and apoptosis of EOC cells were determined by MTT, colony formation, flow cytometry, and TUNEL staining assay, respectively. The expression of METTL3 and apoptosis-related proteins in EOC cells was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot assays.

Results

Five m6A RNA methylation regulators (METTL3, ELF3, IGF2BP2, FTO, and METTL14) were differentially expressed in EOC, among which METTL3 had the highest expression level. Silencing METTL3 reduced the clonal expansion and viability of EOC cells, and caused the cells to arrest in the G0/G1 phase. This also promoted apoptosis in the EOC cells and activated the FAS/FADD and mitochondrial apoptosis pathways. In contrast, overexpressing METTL3 had the opposite effect. Sul, in a dose-dependent manner, reduced the viability of EOC cells but promoted their apoptosis. Sul also increased the levels of IGF2BP2 and FAS, while decreasing the levels of KRT8 and METTL3. Furthermore, Sul was able to reverse the effects of METTL3 overexpression on EOC cells.

Conclusions

Sul could suppress cell proliferation and promote apoptosis of EOC cells by inhibiting the METTL3 to activate the FAS/FADD and apoptosis-associated pathways.

Published: November 2023

Background

Demodex blepharitis is a common chronic disease. The number of mites is associated with ocular discomfort. The accurate number derived from well-stained specimens is, hence, in favor of diagnosing, monitoring, and determining treatment responses.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted between April and July 2022 at the dermatology and ophthalmology clinic, Walailak University, Thailand. Adult participants with clinical suspicion of Demodex blepharitis were recruited. We examined eyelashes under light microscopy to quantify the number of Demodex mites before and after adding CSB gel. The mite counts, evaluated by an untrained investigator and an experienced investigator, were recorded and compared.

Results

A total of 30 participants were included for final analysis, among which 25 (83.3%) were female. The median age was 64.0 years (IQR, 61.0–68.0). The median Demodex counts evaluated by the experienced investigator before and after adding CSB gel were 1.0 (IQR, 0.0–1.0) and 2.5 (IQR, 2.0–3.0), respectively (p < 0.001). Moreover, the median Demodex counts evaluated by the untrained investigator before and after adding CSB gel were 1.0 (IQR, 0.0–1.0) and 2.0 (IQR, 1.0–3.0), respectively (p < 0.001). The correlation coefficient between Demodex counts after the addition of CSB counted by the experienced investigator and those counted by the untrained investigator was 0.92 (p < 0.001). CSB gel is a promising product to identify and quantify the number of Demodex mites. The findings supported the consideration of CSB gel as one of the diagnostic stains.

Published: November 2023

Background

Currently, ferritin heavy chain (FTH1) has been increasingly found to play a crucial role in cancer as a core regulator of ferroptosis, while its role of non-ferroptosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is still unclear.

Methods

Herein, we analyzed the expression level of FTH1 in HNSCC using TCGA database, and FTH1 protein in HNSCC tissues and cell lines was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and western blotting, respectively. Then, its prognostic value and relationship with clinical parameters were investigated in HNSCC patients. Additionally, the biological function of FTH1 in HNSCC was explored.

Results

The current study showed that FTH1 is significantly overexpressed in HNSCC tissues and related to poor prognosis and lymph node metastasis of HNSCC. FTH1 knockdown could suppress the metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of HNSCC.

Conclusion

Our findings indicate that FTH1 plays a critical role in the progression and metastasis of HNSCC and can serve as a promising prognostic factor and therapeutic target in HNSCC.

Authors: Kamboj Enu , Garg Sandeep , Kalra Nidhi Mangtani
Published: November 2023

Introduction: In the field of prosthodontics, there lies a delicate balance between the preservation of supporting structures and the restoration of physiological function while providing complete denture prostheses to completely edentulous patients. A good prosthesis requires appropriate recording of the proper maxillo-mandibular relationship, including the vertical dimension of occlusion, which is a crucial step in complete denture fabrication. The reliability of anthropometric methods to determine the vertical dimension of occlusion has been widely discussed in the literature. Aim: To evaluate the correlation of various facial measurements with the vertical dimension of occlusion in dentate subjects. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics at a Dental College in Ambala district of Haryana, India, from February 2021 to July 2023. A total of 100 subjects (50 females and 50 males) within the age range of 20-35 years were selected. Five facial parameters were selected to correlate with the vertical dimension of occlusion: the distance from glabella to subnasion, the distance from the outer canthus of one eye to the inner canthus of the other eye, the distance from the outer canthus to the rima oris, the distance from the outer canthus to the External Auditory Meatus (EAM) on the left side of the face, and the Interpupillary Distance (IPD). Facial measurements were recorded using a digital vernier calliper, while IPD was recorded using a PD ruler. Each measurement was made three times and recorded by a single operator. Once recorded, all the measurements were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis using the Pearson’s correlation coefficient test. Regression analysis was also conducted to formulate a regression equation for determining the vertical dimension of occlusion. Results: The mean Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (VDO) for males was 59.29±6.48 mm, and for females, it was 52.34±5.92 mm. The results showed a positive and significant (p-value<0.05) correlation between the vertical dimension of occlusion and facial measurements such as glabella to subnasion (p-value for males: 0.001, p-value for females: <0.001), outer canthus to inner canthus (p-value for males: 0.01, p-value for females: <0.001), outer canthus to rima oris (p-value for males: <0.001, p-value for females: <0.001), and outer canthus to EAM (p-value for males: 0.007, p-value for females: 0.001) in both males and females. However, there was no significant correlation between IPD and VDO (p-value for males: 0.296, p-value for females: 0.66) in both genders. Conclusion: It can be concluded that facial measurements could be taken into consideration for determining the vertical dimension of occlusion in completely edentulous patients in conjunction with other reliable methods.
Factors Explaining the Weakness of Intra-Regional Trade Flows in the ECOWAS Region
Authors: Ndao Mamadou Saidou
Published: November 2023

With a GDP of over 628 billion dollars and a population of over 350 million, ECOWAS (Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and Togo) was set to be one of Africa's most powerful economic blocs. However, at ECOWAS level, intracommunity trade is still low, and its share of world trade is around 0.3%.  Moreover, intracommunity trade, which is estimated at 10% of the region's total trade, is also low compared with other regional blocs. The main objective of this article is to identify the main factors explaining the evolution of trade within ECOWAS. The augmented gravity model is used to show that economic and structural factors have a significant impact on intra-regional trade. Geographic, demographic and institutional factors play a key role in the evolution of intraregional trade.

Authors: Aidoo Albert , Dadzie Isaac
Published: November 2023

The objective of this research endeavour is to investigate the impact of the emotional intelligence quotient (EQ) on the job achievement of fire service officers in Ghana. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between emotional intelligence (EQ) and an array of work success indicators, including job satisfaction and job performance, in the context of this particular occupation and culture. Employing a mixed-methods strategy, the investigation gathered data from qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys administered to fifty fire service officers stationed at the Ghana National Headquarters in Accra. A noteworthy correlation was observed between EQ and job satisfaction, and EQ had a substantial effect on job performance, according to the study. The significance of EQ in facilitating productive team dynamics and the criticality of emotional resilience in high-stress situations were further underscored by qualitative themes. The results of this study indicate that emotional intelligence (EQ) may play a significant role in guiding human resource policies for high-stress occupations. Furthermore, EQ may guide the creation of specialised emotional intelligence training programmes. This research adds to the extant body of literature on emotional intelligence by providing perspectives from a distinct occupational and cultural context.
Toward Ga‐Free Wavelength Extended 2.6 µm InAsP Photodetectors with High Performance

Published: November 2023

Short‐wavelength infrared (SWIR) photodetectors are of great interest owing to their unique advantages of SWIR imaging such as better penetration ability and improved sensitivity that allow high‐resolution imaging. Commercially, extended InxGa1‐xAs heterojunction detectors with cut‐off wavelengths beyond λc = 1.7 µm are incorporated into SWIR imagers. However, their large dark current and limited cut‐off wavelength tunability prevent their widespread use in SWIR imaging. Herein, a novel InAs0.85P0.15 homojunction detector with λc = 2.6 µm is achieved through lattice and bandgap engineering with well‐designed InAsyP1‐y metamorphic buffers. Compared to conventional In0.83Ga0.17As/InP detectors with a lattice mismatch of f = 2.0%, the InAs0.85P0.15 detector with f = 2.7% exhibits full strain relaxation and lower surface roughness (2.4 nm due to its superior crystallinity). Photocarrier generation in the InAsP detector is more efficiently supported by a smaller entropy for electron–hole pair formation. The lower trap density and longer carrier lifetime of the InAsP detector decrease the dark current, leading to high uniform detectivities of ≈1.0 × 109 cm Hz1/2 W−1 over a wider voltage range at 300 K. Such an InAsP metamorphic detector with excellent photodetection capabilities is expected to find applications in the implementation of large‐format focal plane arrays for extended SWIR imaging.

This study focuses on the surface engineering of binder‐free anodes composed of Bi, Se, Cu, and carbon nanotubes to enhance lithium‐ion batteries. The anodes synthesized in this study showed promising electrochemical properties. However, issues with cycle stability, operational speed, and solid electrolyte interface (SEI) formation affected their overall performance. To address these challenges, the study applied different conductive polymers, namely PEO, CMC, and PEGDA‐co‐VC, to form artificial SEI layers. The application of these polymers altered the stability and efficiency of the electrodes, with the PEGDA‐co‐VC‐coated electrodes demonstrating significant stability and consistent capacity over numerous cycles.

Published: November 2023

Blockchain technology is a core technology expected to play a highly instrumental role in competing with socioenvironmental challenges. The literature hypothesizes various blockchain functions for building a sustainable business ecosystem. This study unifies these diverse perspectives into an interpretive strategy roadmap that provides a holistic overview of how blockchain should be leveraged to deliver sustainability functions optimally. The study first identified the sustainability functions of blockchain through a content‐centric literature review. The study applied interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and drew on experts' opinions to model how and in which order blockchain delivers these sustainability functions. The study further drew on the ISM output and interpretive logic‐knowledge base to develop the promised roadmap. Results revealed that blockchain promotes a decentralized decision system that facilitates automation and real‐time information sharing (RIS) across supply chains. Blockchain introduces traceability and transparency into supply chain operations. These conditions offer monitoring of business operations and the development of trust across value‐chain stakeholders. These driver functions lead to value chain optimization and circularity integration into business and supply chain operations. When these necessary functional conditions are met, businesses can further draw on blockchain to promote economic and environmental aspects of sustainability through more complex functions enabling resource efficiency, cost reduction, pollution prevention, and higher profit margins. The order in which businesses can leverage these functions would define blockchain sustainability performance. Each function is uniquely valuable to sustainability, and none of them can be overlooked.

Published: November 2023

The development of low‐cost and efficient electrolyzer components is crucial for practical electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (ECR). In this study, facile non‐woven cellulose‐based porous transport layers (PTLs) were developed for high current density CO2‐to‐CO conversion. By depositing a cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) catalyst‐layer over the PTLs, we fabricated ECR‐functioning gas‐diffusion‐electrodes (GDEs) for both flow‐cell and zero‐gap electrolyzers. Under optimal conditions, the Faradaic efficiency of CO (FECO) reached 92 % at a high current density of 200 mA cm−2. Furthering the architecture of the GDEs, CoPc was incorporated into the initial PTL slurry, forming ECR‐active PTLs without the need for an additional catalyst‐layer. The new GDE‐architecture favored the CoPc‐distribution by enhancing the contact and interactions with the carbon substrate and demonstrated a stable electrolysis process for over 50 h in a zero‐gap cell at 200 mA cm−2 with a FECO of 80 %.
