Published: September 2021

Background: Children with Down Syndrome have delayed motor development and coordination due towhich they have poor balance. Balance is the condition in which all the forces acting on body are balancedsuch that the center of mass (COM) is within the stability limits, the boundaries of base of support (BOS).Several scales are available for assessing balance. However, standardized and reliable scales have beenchosen to prevent the error while testing. Many studies have been conducted showing that sensory integrationtherapy improves balance. However, there is paucity of study on Rotational Vestibular Stimulation inimproving balance.Objectives: To study whether the rotational vestibular stimulation will improve balance and gravitationalinsecurity in children with down syndrome.To study the differences in pre-treatment and post-treatmentparameters after rotational vestibular stimulation using outcome measures.Methods: Balance will be assessed prior to treatment and after the treatment. The measures used for assessingwill be Pediatric Balance Scale, Bruininks-Oseretsky Test, Movement Assessment Battery for Children.Results: Once the study is completed, the parameters of outcome measures will be statisticallyanalyzed.Conclusion: Based on previous researches,it may be predicted that there will be significant improvement inbalance in children with Down syndrome.

Background: Both benign prostatic (BPH) and prostate (Pca) hyperplasia include prostate enlargement. Thedistinction between benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer is a major challenge, since the prostaticspecific antigen (PSA) cannot be considered a reliable predictor of prostate cancer. Aims: Efficiency ofserum thymidine kinase 1 and PSA-related biomarkers in prostate tumor, BPH and PCa diagnosis anddifferentiation, especially when serum PSA is in the gray (4-10 ng/ml) region and in the pronostic of thesepatients after surgical therapy. Subjects and Methods: A case control and cross-sectional review. Therewere 110 elderly patients (45-81 years) and 45 controle. Serum experiments involved the use of ELISAtechnologies to measure tPSA, fPSA, and TK1. Result: In comparison to both of the BPH and controls, themean (±S D) of serum tPSA and fPSA in Pca were significantly improved (all p =0,001) while the meanvalue of f PCa in comparison with BPH and control was dramatically decreased (p = 0,001) for fPSA/tPSA.There was no difference between BPH and controls in these parameters. In both of the Pca and Controls(P<0.001) the mean TC1 was slightly higher (P<0.001). This serum TK1 has the most receptive and specificdiagnostic and differentiating potency in the gray zone of tPSA (4-10 ng/ml), which has tPSA in the grayzone with AUC=1 in the 924 pg/ml cut-off zone.Conclusion: Serum level of TK1 was superior of tPSA in diagnosis of prostate tumor and differentiatingbetween BPH and PCa.

Published: September 2021

Background. Ginger and lemongrass are plants known as the king of rhizomes with a healthy stance becauseempirically many have used them as halitosis treatment in people with diabetes mellitus. The researchobjective was to formulate herbal mouthwash from extracts of natural ingredients, namely a combinationof ginger and lemongrass which has the potential as antibacterial causes of bad breath (halitosis) in peoplewith Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Material and Methods. The extraction of the sample will be carried out by amodified extraction method using ethanol and water solvents, then biological activity testing will be carriedout in-vitro with the diffusion method so that the antibacterial activity test against several bacteria that causehalitosis will be tested. Antibacterial sample is an active compound resulting from the extraction process.Bacteria that had been inoculated into the growth medium (NB) were put into sterile soft NA media (0.7%)with a concentration of 10,000.8,000,7,500 and 6,000 ppm, respectively. Results. There is an inhibitoryeffect, on p. gingivalis but the pattern of values is uncertain. A solution of formulation A with a concentrationof 75% occurs inhibition with an inhibition diameter of 15.7%. This inhibitory effect is not an activity offormulation A, because acetic acid also has the ability to inhibit bacteria. In the sample solution with aconcentration of 100% chitosan (w / v), the highest inhibition occurred with an inhibition diameter of 18.7mm / mg of the sample extract. Formulation A with a concentration of 25% (w / v), the lowest inhibitionoccurred. The test solution of formulation A with a concentration of 25% has shown an inhibitory effect onthe growth of Streptococcus mutans. This effect is stronger at concentrations of 100%, 75%, and 50%. Theantimicrobial effect actually increased with an increase in the concentration of the test solution in successionof 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. Formulation C with a concentration of 10000ppm, 8000ppm, 7500ppm, 6000ppmshowed that the antimicrobial effect actually increased with an increase in the concentration of the testsolution in succession. This shows that there is a strong positive relationship between concentration andinhibition zone. Conclusion. All tests for both formulation A and formulation C using several concentrationsshowed quite good results with the antibacterial activity being directly proportional to the concentration, thegreater the concentration the greater the activity.

Published: September 2021

Classical novae contribute to the cycle of chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium through through explosive nucleosynthesis and the violent ejection of material dredged from the white dwarf progenitor and mixed with the accreted surface layers. Analysis of archival NASA Spitzer spectroscopic observations of V2615 Ophiuchus shows that [O iv] 25.89 μm is a strong coolant and that no evidence for deceleration of the ejecta was present ∼1000 days after outburst, based on observed Spitzer InfraRed Spectrograph emission line average FWHM velocities of ≃600 km s−1.
Exploring Ceres’s Unusual Regolith Porosity and Its Implications for Volatile Retention

Asteroid Ceres, the only dwarf planet located in the inner solar system, shows unique surface mineralogy and geomorphology as observed by the Dawn mission. Of particular interest is understanding the role that upper regolith porosity plays in retaining volatiles and shaping Ceres’ surface. Unfortunately, Ceres’ near-surface porosity remains largely uncharacterized, compromising the ability to quantify volatile occurrence and identify the mechanisms for volatile retention at shallow depths, a topic of ongoing debate. Herein, we estimate Ceres’ shallow-subsurface porosity by reinterpreting existing S- and X-band Earth-based radar observations combined with dielectric laboratory measurements of analog materials that have been recently suggested by spectral observations from the Dawn VIR spectrometer and in the far-ultraviolet from the Hubble telescope. Contrary to previous assumptions, our results suggest that Ceres’ surface is more porous than the lunar regolith, with a bulk porosity ranging from ∼53% to 72% or even higher in the top meter of the regolith, as opposed to ∼39% to 50% for both bodies. The above suggests that Ceres’ regolith is on average 15% more porous than the Moon, hence explaining its higher potential for volatile retention. We propose that lofting and gradual redeposition of fine particles by avalanches, continuous micrometeorite bombardment, and localized volatile outgassing are possible mechanisms for generating a globally high-porosity regolith. In addition to Ceres’ proximity to the snowline of the early solar system, such a highly porous regolith may explain its efficiency at retaining volatiles at shallow depths into the present, as revealed by Dawn’s GRaND observations.
Distribution and abundance of Euphausia mucronata: development stages and its relationship with temperature and chlorophyll-a concentration
Authors: González Pamela , Mujica Armando , Nava María Luisa
Published: September 2021

Euphausia mucronata abundance and distribution of the developmental stages (calyptopis, furciliae, juveniles, and adults) was analyzed as a function of seawater temperature and chlorophyll-a concentration between Paposo (25°S) and Coquimbo (30°S), Chile. Zooplankton samples were obtained using bongo nets during February of three consecutive years (2014-2016). The Q coefficient was used to explore the relationship between the distribution and abundance of the development stages of E. mucronata with the temperature recorded throughout the water column. The adults were considerably more abundant than the rest of the ontogenetic development stages during the study period. The abundance of adults decreased from February 2014 to 2016, having a negative correlation with temperature. Relative abundance of juveniles and larvae increased positively related to the total euphausiid abundance. The Q coefficient showed a significant association of all development states concerning the low-temperature intervals recorded throughout the seawater column. Q coefficient showed no association with chlorophyll-a concentration through the recorded intervals throughout the water column and neither with the vertical abundance and distribution of E. mucronata specimens.

Phytoplankton is a sentinel group of organisms of climate change due to their capacity to respond to multiple stressors, so studies documenting the optimal optical conditions within the water column affecting their growth and production are imperative. As a contribution to this topic, this study report selected optical properties in deep-waters of the Gulf of Mexico by in situ measurements during summertime. A multidisciplinary research cruise was carried during August/September of 2018. A CTD instrument configured with underwater quantum and fluorescence sensors were used to acquire data of temperature, conductivity, depth, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and fluorescence of chlorophyll-a, which were used to determine selected optical coefficients, including the light extinction (k), the compensation light intensity (Ec), the compensation depth (Zc), the critical depth (Zcr), and the incident irradiance (E0). The Brunt-Väisälä frequency calculated from CTD data was used as a magnitude indicator of the water column stratification. The results showed a pycnocline located between 23 and 68 m depth, and favorable conditions for phytoplankton production with high values of E0 reaching 1523.4 μmol m-2 s-1, Ec values ranging from 3 to 8 μmol m-2 s-1, values of Zcr greater than Zc and maximum records of k values of 0.06. Based on multivariate statistical techniques, two zones were clearly defined. These results represent the first observational report on the optical properties in the deep region of the Gulf of Mexico. Studies on the ideal optical conditions for carrying out phytoplankton photosynthesis and their possible seasonal and interannual variability are essential to understand the processes that support the phytoplankton production, especially in regions that are characterized by their high biodiversity.

Published: September 2021

The histological structure, histochemical features, and enzymatic activity of the digestive tract of juvenile Pacific seahorse (Hippocampus ingens) are described to provide information during the cultivation of this species. Serial histological sections were stained with either hematoxylin-eosin, alcian blue-PAS, toluidine blue, Sudan black, Masson's trichome, and ninhydrin-Schiff to describe the general features and the presence of glycogen, mucopolysaccharides, lipids, muscle layers, and proteins, respectively. The enterocytes height and the mucosal villi height in the esophagus and intestines were measured. Additionally, the digestive enzymes trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase, amylase, aminopeptidase, acid phosphatase, and alkaline phosphatase activities were recorded. The esophagus showed two distinctive regions, the anterior with numerous mucous cells secreting acid mucins and the posterior with longitudinal folds and no mucous cells. The intestine was differentiated into three regions. The anterior showed goblet cells secreting acid and neutral mucins, while the middle and posterior regions presented goblet cells secreting only acid mucins. The activity of aminopeptidase, chymotrypsin, and amylase showed low levels, while the trypsin and acid phosphatase activity levels were intermediate. Lipase and alkaline phosphatase showed the highest activities. The results point that juvenile H. ingens presents a digestive structure similar to other teleost species. The high levels of lipase suggest that juvenile H. ingens have high requirements for lipids during this stage.

The development of native fish aquaculture represents an important alternative to mitigate ecological displacement generated by exotic fish. The introduction of native fish in polyculture systems with high commercial value fishes has provided a useful strategy for sustainable aquaculture development. The present study aims to provide information on tilapia, as an exotic species, and Dormitator latifrons, as a native species, in a duo culture not programmed as such. Using juveniles of Pacific fat sleeper D. latifrons leftovers from another experiment, we decide to analyze and report the biological feasibility of a duoculture system with this species and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Two hundred fifty organisms of each species were placed for 90 days in a concrete tank with a capacity of 50 m3 to evaluate the compatibility of these species. The biological variables measured were growth, survival, feed conversion rate, and protein efficiency. The findings suggest a good interaction between species, with adequate growths and a survival rate of 98%. No antagonistic behavior was observed during confinement, suggesting the duoculture of these species may represent a good alternative for tropical sustainable aquaculture.
Which Competitive Strategy Fits Better to Different Family-Business Profiles?
Authors: González-Cruz Tomás F. , Roig-Tierno Norat
Published: September 2021

This chapter belongs to the vein of research that analyses family firms from a configurational approach. This survey explores which combination of competitive strategy, environmental turbulence, family complexity, and family firm management and governance arrangements are present when firm performance is present. This research follows Le Breton-Miller and Miller's call to gain a better understanding of the interaction between competitive strategy, environmental conditions, and family firm features. Literature reports controversial results with regard to family-business strategic preferences and firm performance, and recent research shows that this relationship needs considering both industry and family context. This chapter analyses a sample of 129 Spanish SME-Family-Business that belong to the tourism industry. Using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, the authors find seven configurations to firm performance presence and one recipe for performance absence.
