Identification of A Novel Hemizygous SLC16A2 Nonsense Mutation in Allen-Herndon-Dudley Syndrome
Authors: Kocaaga Ayca
Published: August 2022

Allan-Herndon-Dudley sendromu (AHDS), tiroid hormonunun emilimini önleyen ve aksiyal hipotoni, güçsüzlük ve ciddi zihinsel yetersizliğe yol açan, X'e bağlı, nadir görülen bir kalıtsal hastalıktır. SLC16A2 (MCT8 olarak bilinir) genindeki mutasyonlar hastalığa neden olmaktadır. Bu gen, tiroid hormonlarının beyine transferini sağlayan bir proteini kodlar. MCT8 eksikliği, beyinde merkezi hipotiroidizme neden olan T3 girişi eksikliğine yol açar. Doğuştan hipotoni, ciddi gelişim geriliği, zeka geriliği, kas güçsüzlüğü ve distoni ile kendini gösteren kliniğe sahip bir erkek çocuğu tanımladık. AHDS teşhisi kondu, klinik ve biyokimyasal bulguları detaylandırıldı. SLC16A2 genindeki yeni bir patojenik anlamsız (c.25G>T;p.E9X) mutasyon, SLC16A2 gen dizi analizi ile tanımlandı. Bu vaka, SLC16A2 gen mutasyonlarının mutasyonel spektrumunu genişletebilir ve AHDS'nin klinik özelliklerini destekleyebilir.
Integration of domestic violence services into the health care system: Which model does Vietnam select?
Authors: Thi Le Minh
Published: August 2022

Domestic violence (DV) is a significant health problem. Integration of domestic health services into the health system is essential, and many models of integration DV services into the health system exist. In this paper, we discuss the types of integration models/levels of DV services into the health system, and how DV services integrate into the health system in Vietnam. The system - level model of integration in Vietnam was also reported. However, the current health system model only focuses on secondary prevention or supportive care once violence has occurred. The health system has not oriented to primary prevention or long - term support. The three themes that delayed the implementation DV services within the current health system include lack of clinical care pathway for DV survivors, limited services delivery, and a weak referral network. In addition, the social work service for domestic violence within the health system is still inadequate. It is recommended that a clear clinical care pathway for DV survivors should be established, health workers should be trained on DV screening and referrals, and the health system should collaborate with other supported services (within and between the health system and other DV-supported services) to cover long - term support of DV survivors and also DV primary prevention.

The purpose of this study was to translate the Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory (BAMBI) questionnaire into Vietnamese to develop and validate the evaluation of feeding behavior in patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This cross - sectional research was conducted at 18 centers raising children with ASD in Vietnam from May 2021 to December 2021. After testing by Cronbach’s alpha index, all 18 factors were kept (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.7). Then, these 18 questions were included in exploratory factor analysis (EFA) resulting in 4 questions being eliminated (Loading factor > 0.5). The remaining 14 sentences that were built into a model with 5 factors and CFA confirmatory factor analysis showed that this BAMBI’s model is considered to be quite close to the fit model (CFI < 0.9), and divided them into 5 factors (according to EFA) with KMO = 0.757 and Barlett’s Test = 0.000, which was accepted. Therefore, the brief autism mealtime behavior Inventory may be a valid and accurate measuring instrument to evaluate mealtime and feeding difficulties in people with autism in Vietnam.

Rotavirus (RV) is the most common cause of severe childhood diarrhea worldwide. Since 2006, the WHO has approved the use of two vaccines against Rotavirus (RotaTeq and Rotarix), which has contributed to a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality from this disease in children under 5 years of age. Beside of that, the presence of vaccines could also cause selective pressure among circulating RV strains. Diarrhea samples were a part of the study of the project “Evaluation of rotavirus vaccine effectiveness in Vietnam” and some diarrhea samples were randomly selected from 2010 - 2015 and were stored in our laboratory. Rotavirus antigen in diarrhea samples was detected using the Premier Rotaclone kit. G and P genotypes were determined by RT-PCR using type specific primers. The nucleotide sequencewas determined by next generation sequencing and phylogenetic analysis was performed by the neighbor-joining method. 375/1715 (21.9%) samples detected G3 strain include equine-like G3 (eG3) and human G3 (hG3). The prevalence of G3 strains decreased from 2016 to 2021. All eleven gene segments were typed among 34 samples and substantial diversity among the circulating strains was observed. The circulating G3 strains were also phylogenetically diverse and related to strains from several different countries, different origins such as human (20 samples), pig (1 sample), cat (3 samples) and equine (10 samples). Comparing with the vaccine strains, the antigenic epitopes present on VP7 ofG3 in Vietnam differed considerably, especially the K238N. With the genetic characteristics of the G3 strain, it could contribute to the vaccine effectiveness in Vietnam.

МОВА МЕТРИК У СХІДНІЙ ГАЛИЧИНІ ЗА ЧАСІВ АВСТРО-УГОРЩИНИ
Authors: Сокіл Богдан
Published: August 2022

Після розпаду у 1772 році Речі Посполитої землі Східної Галичини увійшли до складу Австро-Угорської держави як самостійна адміністративно-територіальна одиниця. Центральний уряд у Відні визнавав самостійність галицьких українців, гарантував їм право розвивати свою народність і плекати рідну мову. Відповідно до цих засад, українці намагалися послуговуватися українською мовою і вимагали, щоб місцеві урядники у спілкуванні з ним як усно, так і письмово вживали українську мову. Однак керівні посади в Східній Галичині посідали або поляки, або ополячені українці, які, намагаючись витіснити українську мову з офіційного вжитку, послуговувалися польською мовою, уважаючи її за єдину краєву на теренах Східної Галичини. Місцеві урядники вимагали навіть від українських священників видавати свідоцтва українському населенню польською чи німецькою мовами.

ФРІДРІХ КРАУСС ТА УКРАЇНА : УКРАЇНОЗНАВЧА ТЕМАТИКА НА СТОРІНКАХ AM UR-QUELL
Authors: Таран Олена
Published: August 2022

Стаття присвячена 130-річчю від часу заснування народознавчого часопису Am Ur-Quell, а також місця українознавчої тематики на його сторінках в контексті австрійського гуманітарного дискурсу кінця ХІХ ст. Незмінним випускаючим редактором журналу був австрійський етнолог і фольклорист єврейського походження Фридрих Саломо Краусс. Публікуючи в Am Ur-Quell зібраний південнослов’янський фольклор (гуслярські пісні, казки, оповідання, анекдоти), Ф. Краусс затвердив за собою статус провідного спеціаліста у галузі південнослов’янського фольклору, а сам журнал перетворив на один із найвпливовіших німецькомовних фольклорних видань кінця ХІХ ст. у Європі. Звертаючись до своїх співробітників, Ф. Краусс наголошував, що фольклористика – наука інтернаціональна, Am Ur-Quell поширюється далеко за межі Австро-Угорщини і є, відповідно, виразником і фіксатором народознавства як науки в країні. Загалом у зазначене десятиліття кредо Ф. Краусса – винести фольклористику на вершину німецького гуманітарного антропологічного дискурсу. Тому є зрозумілим, що за будь-якої можливості Ф. Краусс підтримував науковців та аматорів шляхом поширення та популяризації фольклорних збірок німецького, єврейського та слов’янських народів. Водночас Ф. Краусс дбав про науковий рівень свого видання, що вимагало багато фізичних, емоційних та комунікативних зусиль. Потужна популяризація фольклористики журналом Am Ur-Quell спричинила утворення в 1890-х роках більше десятка нових фольклорних товариств у Німеччині та Австро-Угорщині. Українська тематика з'явилась на сторінках Am Ur-Quell вже в перший рік видання і представлена фольклорними збірками та аналітичними статтями Раймунда Кайндля, Івана Франка, Василя Щурата, Федора Вовка, Ісаака Робінзона. Увага вчених була прикута до фольклору, народного календаря українців, міфології, морально-етичних стосунків всередині громади

Catalysts with manganese nanoparticles (5 and 10 wt %) immobilized on poly-4-vinylpyridine were prepared. These catalyst compositions have been used to oxidize n-heptane with pure oxygen to give alcohols, aldehydes and ketones. Oxidation of n-heptane was carried out in the temperature range 303-383 K, molar ratios of heptane:oxygen = 1:3.38, and at atmospheric pressure. It has been found that the non-crosslinked (MnP4VP polymer poly-4-vinylpyridine) and N,N- methylene-bisacrylamide-crosslinked MnP4VP/MBAA metal-polymer catalyst containing 5 wt % Mn2+ exhibits the highest activity in n-heptane oxidation reactions. The kinetic parameters of the reaction of n-heptane oxidation with oxygen at low temperatures were studied using a kinetic model based on the heptane conversion data.

Comparing the ice nucleation properties of the kaolin minerals kaolinite and halloysite
Authors: Klumpp Kristian , Marcolli Claudia , Alonso-Hellweg Ana , Peter Thomas
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Heterogeneous ice nucleation on dust particles in the atmosphere is a key mechanism for ice formation in clouds. However, the conditions of a particle surface for efficient ice nucleation are poorly understood. In this study we present results of immersion freezing experiments using differential scanning calorimetry on emulsified mineral dust suspensions, involving the two chemically identical, but morphologically different kaolin minerals kaolinite and halloysite. Kaolinite occurs in a platy morphology, while halloysites form predominantly tubular structures. We investigated six different halloysite and two different kaolinite samples. Our results show that, on average, the halloysite samples exhibit a higher ice nucleation (IN) activity, than the kaolinite samples, but also a higher diversity in terms of freezing onset temperatures and heterogeneously frozen fraction. Repeating the freezing experiments after shortly milling the samples led to a decrease in freezing onset temperatures and in the heterogeneously frozen fraction of the halloysite samples, bringing their IN activity closer to that of the kaolinites. To interpret these findings, the freezing experiments were complemented by dynamic vapour sorption (DVS) measurements, pore ice melting experiments with slurries, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) before and after milling. These measurements demonstrate the destruction of tubes by milling and provide evidence for the influence of the tubular structure of the halloysites on their IN activity. We identify the OH–Al–O–Si–OH functionalized edges as the most likely site for ice nucleation, as the high geometric diversity of the edges best accounts for the high diversity in IN activity of halloysites. We hypothesize that the stacking of layers and the number of stacks in halloysite tubes and kaolinite platelets affect the freezing temperature, with thicker stacks having the potential to freeze water at higher temperatures. The notion that the edges constitute the IN-active part of kaolin minerals is further supported by comparing kaolin minerals with montmorillonites and feldspars, all of which exhibit enhanced IN activity in the presence of ammonia and ammonium-containing solutions. As OH–Al–O–Si–OH functionalized edge surfaces are the only surface type kaolin particles have in common with montmorillonites and feldspars, the common feature of IN activity enhancement in ammoniated solutions can only be explained by ice nucleation occurring at the edges of kaolin minerals.
Internal climate variability and spatial temperature correlations during the past 2000 years
Authors: Bakker Pepijn , Goosse Hugues , Roche Didier M.
Published: August 2022

Abstract. The spatio-temporal structure of natural climate variability has to be taken into account when unraveling observed climatic changes and simulate future climate change. However, based on the comparison of temperature reconstructions and climate model simulations covering the past two millenia, it has been argued that climate models are biased. They would simulate too little temporal temperature variability and too high correlations between temperature time series from different continents. One of the proposed causes is the lack of internal climate variability in climate models on centennial time scales, for instance variability related to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). We present a perturbed-parameter ensemble with the iLOVECLIM earth system model containing various levels of AMOC-related internal climate variability to investigate the effect on the spatio-temporal temperature variability structure. The model ensemble shows that indeed enhanced AMOC variability leads to more continental-scale temperature variability, but it also increases the spatio-temporal temperature correlations between different continents. However, combining the iLOVECLIM results with CMIP5 model results and various PAGES-2K temperature field reconstructions, we find that neither model results or reconstructions are robust. We show overall agreement for the magnitude of continental temperature variability in models and reconstructions, but both the simulated and the reconstructed ranges are large. This is even more true when considering higher order metrices like inter-continental temperature correlations or temperature variability land-sea contrasts. For such metrices, uncertainties in both model results and temperature reconstructions are so large that they hamper our ability to constrain simulated spatio-temporal structure of centennial temperature variability. As a result, we cannot determine the importance of AMOC variability for the climatic evolution over the past two millenia.
Intersecting near-real time fluvial and pluvial inundation estimates with sociodemographic vulnerability to quantify a household flood impact index
Authors: Preisser Matthew , Passalacqua Paola , Bixler R. Patrick , Hofmann Julian
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Increased interest in combining compound flood hazards and social vulnerability has driven recent advances in flood impact mapping. However, current methods to estimate event-specific compound flooding at the household level require high-performance computing resources frequently not available to local stakeholders. Government and non-governmental agencies currently lack the methods to repeatedly and rapidly create flood impact maps that incorporate the local variability in both hazards and social vulnerability. We address this gap by developing a methodology to estimate a flood impact index at the household level in near-real time, utilizing high-resolution elevation data to approximate event-specific inundation from both pluvial and fluvial sources in conjunction with a social vulnerability index. Our analysis uses the 2015 Memorial Day flood in Austin, Texas, as a case study and proof of concept for our methodology. We show that 37 % of the census block groups in the study area experience flooding from only pluvial sources and are not identified in local or national flood hazard maps as being at risk. Furthermore, averaging hazard estimates to cartographic boundaries masks household variability, with 60 % of the census block groups in the study area having a coefficient of variation around the mean flood depth exceeding 50 %. Comparing our pluvial flooding estimates to a 2D physics-based model, we classify household impact accurately for 92 % of households. Our methodology can be used as a tool to create household compound flood impact maps to provide computationally efficient information to local stakeholders.
Spine-like structures in Paleogene muricate planktonic foraminifera
Authors: Pearson Paul N. , John Eleanor , Wade Bridget S. , D'haenens Simon , Lear Caroline H.
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Muricate planktonic foraminifera comprise an extinct clade that was diverse and abundant in the Paleogene oceans and are widely used in palaeoclimate research as geochemical proxy carriers for the upper oceans. Their characteristic wall texture has surface projections called “muricae” formed by upward deflection and mounding of successive layers of the test wall. The group is generally considered to have lacked “true spines”: that is, acicular calcite crystals embedded in and projecting from the test surface such as occur in many modern and some Paleogene groups. Here we present evidence from polished sections, surface wall scanning electron microscope images and test dissections, showing that radially orientated crystalline spine-like structures occur in the centre of muricae in various species of Acarinina and Morozovella and projected from the test wall in life. Their morphology and placement in the wall suggest that they evolved independently of true spines. Nevertheless, they may have served a similar range of functions as spines in modern species, including aiding buoyancy and predation and especially harbouring algal photosymbionts, the function for which we suggest they probably first evolved. Our observations strengthen the analogy between Paleogene mixed-layer-dwelling planktonic foraminifera and their modern spinose counterparts.

Published: August 2022

Abstract. Tsunamis are associated with numerous uncertainties. Therefore, there has been an emphasis on setting the placement of infrastructure facilities based on probabilistic approaches. However, advanced numerical simulations have been often insufficiently utilized due to high computational costs. Therefore, in this study, we developed a framework that could efficiently utilize the information obtained from advanced numerical simulations for probabilistic assessment and investigation of the optimal placement of facilities based on calculated probability. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) techniques were employed for utilizing the data from the numerical simulations for probabilistic risk evaluation. We constructed a surrogate model in which POD was efficiently used to extract the spatial modes. The results of the numerical simulation were expressed as a linear combination of the modes, and the POD coefficients were expressed as a function of the uncertainty parameters to represent a result of an arbitrary scenario at a low computational cost. We conducted numerical simulations of the 2011 tsunami off the Pacific Coast caused by Tohoku Earthquake as an example of the method proposed in this study. The tsunami reached the target area, and the fault parameters of “slip” and “rake” were selected as the target uncertainties. We then created several scenarios in which these parameters were changed and conducted further numerical simulations using POD to construct a surrogate model. We selected the maximum inundation depth in the target area and the maximum impact force that acts on the buildings as the target risk indices, and we constructed a surrogate model of the spatial distributions of each indicator. Furthermore, we conducted Monte Carlo simulations using the constructed surrogate model and the information on fluctuations in uncertainties to calculate the spatial distribution of the failure criterion exceedance probabilities. We then used the Monte Carlo simulation results and a genetic algorithm to identify the optimal placement of facilities based on probability. We also discuss how the optimal placement changes according to differences in risk indices and the differences between parallel and series systems. The failure scenarios for each system are also discussed based on the failure probability. We show that the proposed method of efficiently utilizing advanced numerical simulation information was useful for conducting probabilistic hazard assessments and investigating the optimal placement of facilities based on probability theory.
GBaTSv2: a revised synthesis of the likely basal thermal state of the Greenland Ice Sheet

Published: August 2022

Abstract. The basal thermal state (frozen or thawed) of the Greenland Ice
Sheet is under-constrained due to few direct measurements, yet knowledge of
this state is becoming increasingly important to interpret modern changes in
ice flow. The first synthesis of this state relied on inferences from
widespread airborne and satellite observations and numerical models, for
which most of the underlying datasets have since been updated. Further, new
and independent constraints on the basal thermal state have been developed
from analysis of basal and englacial reflections observed by airborne radar
sounding. Here we synthesize constraints on the Greenland Ice Sheet's basal
thermal state from boreholes, thermomechanical ice-flow models that
participated in the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for CMIP6
(ISMIP6; Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6), IceBridge BedMachine Greenland v4 bed topography, Making Earth Science Data Records
for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Multi-Year Greenland Ice Sheet Velocity
Mosaic v1 and multiple inferences of a thawed bed from airborne radar
sounding. Most constraints can only identify where the bed is likely thawed
rather than where it is frozen. This revised synthesis of the Greenland
likely Basal Thermal State version 2 (GBaTSv2) indicates that 33 % of the
ice sheet's bed is likely thawed, 40 % is likely frozen and the remainder
(28 %) is too uncertain to specify. The spatial pattern of GBaTSv2 is
broadly similar to the previous synthesis, including a scalloped frozen core
and thawed outlet-glacier systems. Although the likely basal thermal state
of nearly half (46 %) of the ice sheet changed designation, the assigned
state changed from likely frozen to likely thawed (or vice versa) for less
than 6 % of the ice sheet. This revised synthesis suggests that more of
northern Greenland is likely thawed at its bed and conversely that more of
southern Greenland is likely frozen, both of which influence interpretation
of the ice sheet's present subglacial hydrology and models of its future
evolution. The GBaTSv2 dataset, including both code that performed the
analysis and the resulting datasets, is freely available at

China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is an amalgam that addresses employability in Pakistan. The perception of creating millions of jobs in the next few years is vital for strengthening the relationship between China and Pakistan. This economic corridor aims to enhance job opportunities, which may increase the general public's education level and standard of living. This paper aims to estimate the perception of the employability impact of Bahawalpur's solar power project and Sahiwal's coal power plant within a radius of 15km2. This study measures the employability impact perceived by the workers through qualitative and descriptive procedures. The data is collected from employees of both the power plants. This study contributes to the existing literature, explains the negative and positive perceptions regarding CPEC projects, and is concluded in support of CPEC and suggests that uplifting to technical skills of the local labor force should be of utmost priority in such types of projects. The study also suggests developing a linkage between education institutes and industry to make the required skill set available to provide more abundant opportunities to the local employees.
Nexus of Shadow Economy and Corruption Control: Evidence from Developing Country’s Sample
Authors: Riaz Muhammad Farhan , Hayat Muhammad Azmat
Published: August 2022

The current literature shows the ambiguous relationship between corruption and shadow economy, specifically in the case of developing countries, because most of the earlier research system on judicial corruption was not incorporated while measuring different corruption indices. This study has used dynamic judicial indicators to observe corruption control as a latent variable to contribute to an advanced analysis of the nexus between shadow economy and corruption. It has employed an unbalanced panel data of 65 developing countries from 2000-2019 to investigate this relationship empirically. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Multiple Indicator and Multiple Causes Models are used to estimate the magnitudes and signs of various dimensions and causes of corruption control, shadow economy, and their nexus. The results of this study suggest that robust judicial indicators and a more independent judicial system significantly reduce corruption and consequently shrink the shadow economy. Thus, it supports the maxim that the shadow economy and corruption, particularly those in developing countries, are complementary while empirically contradicting the notion that the shadow economy and corruption are substitutes. This study finds a substantial and positive connection between cash holdings and labor force participation rate with shadow economic activities and also predicted an inverse relationship between GDP per capita with the shadow economy.

Authors: Mehmood Nasir , Shahzad Khurram
Published: August 2022

This article critically evaluates Olaf Caroe’s book “The Pathans” by using the framework of critical discourse analysis”.  The book consists of a total of four hundred thirty-eight pages. The study explores how the author has wrongly ascribed the authorship of some passages to Khushhal Khan Khattak. Moreover, it also investigates how certain events of Pathan’s history have been misrepresented. The study is significant as it highlights loopholes in one of the most important books of Pathans history. The text which forms the data for the present study is the chunks selected from “The Pathans”. After evaluating the text, it is found that the author of the book, in some places, presents his weak appraisal of the events and expresses statements that do not conform to the ground realities.  Lastly, after a careful analysis of the evidence, the study concludes that the author has insufficient knowledge of the historical events; particularly those concerning Khushhal Khan Khattak, which, ultimately resulted in misinterpretation of the historical facts. Hence the study recommends that there is a dire need to rectify some of the historical events from their true historical perspective.

Techniques for Making Cheese with Low Salt and Fat Content
Authors: Pelivanoska Daniela
Published: August 2022

When the term "reduced fat" or "lower fat content" is used on the label of cheese products, it means that the product must contain 25% less fat than the reference amount in traditional standardized cheeses. In recent years, owing to the risks associated with excessive dietary intake of fat and sodium, there is an increased consumer demand for food products, including cheese, with reduced fat and salt content. The dairy industry in developed countries is focused on the production of various types of cheeses with low fat and salt content. As a result, much research has been conducted to study the characteristics of different types of low-fat and low-salt cheeses and to improve their characteristics compared to full-fat cheeses. Despite the mitigating effects of calcium reduction, the reduced-fat, reduced-salt, lower-calcium cheese was, nevertheless, firmer, harder, more cohesive, and chewier and flowed less than the full-fat, full-salt cheese. In this paper, special emphasis is placed on technologies for eliminating the disadvantages of cheeses with reduced fat and salt content, for their nutritional, flavor and organoleptic properties to be closer to other types of cheese and at the same time to meet the needs of consumers.
