Authors: Syeda Sana  , Hemalatha M  , Shakuntal P N  , Sreelatha
Published: December 2024

Background: Evans Syndrome (ES) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Its occurrence in association with Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS) during pregnancy, compounded by hypokalemic paralysis, is exceedingly rare.
Case Description: A 24-year-old primigravida at 17 weeks of gestation presented with limb weakness due to hypokalemic paralysis. She had a history of ES and SS diagnosed prior to conception, managed initially with corticosteroids and vitamin B12 supplementation. During pregnancy, she experienced hypokalemia, renal tubular acidosis, and moderate anemia, which were managed effectively with potassium, bicarbonate, prednisolone, and hydroxychloroquine. The pregnancy was monitored closely, culminating in a cesarean delivery of a healthy baby at 39 weeks. Postpartum care included transfusions and anticoagulation therapy. Both mother and baby showed favorable outcomes without major complications.
Conclusion: The coexistence of ES and SS during pregnancy, further complicated by hypokalemic paralysis, presents unique challenges. Early diagnosis, multidisciplinary management, and close monitoring are pivotal in achieving successful maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Effect of Shilajit on Freezing Rooster Semen
Authors: Nizam Mustafa Yiğit , Selcuk Murat
Published: December 2024

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are created in excess during the cryopreservation process, which speeds up the rate of lipid peroxidation (LPO). This negatively impacts spermatozoa functions and reduces their capacity to fertilize. The spermatozoon plasma membrane consists of significant amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which can be easily oxidized by ROS and produce harmful agents that are toxic to cells. The plasma membrane of rooster spermatozoa contains high concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids and very small amounts of mitochondria, cytoplasm, and cytoplasmic antioxidants. Cryopreservation of rooster semen has been associated with adverse effects, including increased lipid peroxidation, structural damage in the mitochondria and acrosomal area, changes in the integrity and permeability of the spermatozoon plasma membrane, and severe damage to DNA. In the study, semen taken from 20 Plymouth Rock roosters were pooled to eliminate individual differences. By adding 5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, 15 μg/mL, 20 μg/mL and 25 μg/mL shilajit to Beltsville Poultry Semen Extender diluent, 5 experimental and 1 control groups were formed and frozen in 0.25 mL straws. After thawing in a water bath at 37oC, spermatologic parameters were analyzed with the CASA system. Viability evaluations were made with eosin – nigrosin stain and morphological evaluations were made with Hancock method. Sperm DNA integrity was examined with the COMET assay. As a result, it was concluded that the addition of 10, 15, 20 μg/mL shilajit to rooster semen extender improves semen quality parameters and DNA integrity of semen after cryopreservation.

The influence of manufacturing defects on the characteristics of the coupled microstrip line has been evaluated. The results of quasi-static analysis showed that the values of matrices C and L change when the etching time and εr values change, which in turn affects the frequency and time characteristics of transmission lines. Electrodynamic analysis reveals that the linearity of the transmission coefficient changes depending on the shape of the conductors. It is shown that when the shape of the conductors of the coupled transmission lines changes with increasing etching time, the resonances shift towards higher frequencies. Analysis of the obtained matrices C and L revealed that with increasing etching time, the eigenvalues of C and Z decrease, while L increases. This is due to the decrease in the cross-sectional area of the conductor as well as the change in the εr values of the materials. It is found that an increase in the etching time leads to a change in the voltage waveform at the far end of the active conductor. It is also found that the conductor shape with the best performance in terms of noise suppression is shape 3. The structure with rectangular-shaped conductors has the lowest values of linear capacitance, which affects the characteristics of the coupled microstrip line.

A Recursive Partitioning Approach for Detecting Nonstationarity of Levels and Trends in Time Series Data.

Published: December 2024

In this study a method for detecting level stationarity in time series data based on recursive partitioning (regression trees) is examined. Recursive partitioning iteratively splits the time series into two segments with the goal of finding the most optimal difference between segment means, given certain criteria related to the length of the segments and the magnitude of the level differences. The performance of the method to recover the true transition points and the true stationary levels in simulated time series data is evaluated in terms of sensitivity analyses for different parameter settings. The performance is compared to a change point detection algorithm based on Binary Segmentation. The results show the recursive partitioning method, with an additional post-analysis adjustment which removes likely false positives, performs equally well as the change point analysis in detecting the true transition time. The recursive partitioning method appears to perform better when the estimation of the true stationary level is concerned.
A p-curve analysis of changes in emotion recognition across the menstrual cycle

Previous research suggests that emotion recognition ability varies within and between individuals, potentially influenced by person-related factors such as levels of sex hormones. Studies have examined links between the menstrual cycle, ovarian hormone levels, and emotion recognition, but findings are inconsistent. Some report changes across the menstrual cycle or with hormone fluctuations, while others find no significant effects. To evaluate the evidentiary value of these studies, we conducted a p-curve analysis on eight studies reporting significant associations. Two analyses were performed: one on the menstrual cycle's effects and another on combined menstrual cycle and ovarian hormone effects. Neither analysis provided clear evidence for a genuine effect, and both revealed very low statistical power (maximum 12%) in the underlying studies. Recent, more rigorous studies with larger sample sizes have also failed to detect this effect, further questioning its existence. If present, the effect is likely very small or non-existent. We recommend that future research employ high statistical power and rigorous methodologies to reliably detect any true effects.
Going Above and Beyond: Procedural Justice, Wellbeing, and Organizational Citizenship Behavior Among New Prison Officers

This study explores the relationship between procedural justice, mental wellbeing, and organizational citizenship behavior among new prison officers recruited through the Unlocked Graduates Leadership Development Programme in England and Wales. We found a direct association between supervisory procedural justice and organizational citizenship behavior, and an indirect association between organizational justice and organizational citizenship behavior, through mental wellbeing. These findings suggest that while prison officers directly reciprocate the fair treatment received by supervisors by engaging in discretionary actions benefiting the organization, fair treatment by the organization has more of an indirect effect via influencing officer wellbeing. Our results highlight the importance of both supervisors and organizations treating their staff with procedural justice; not only does fair treatment increase mental wellbeing, but it encourages behaviors that extend beyond formal job requirements. Cultivating such behaviors among new prison officers may ultimately improve practices, cultures, and outcomes for people in custody within prisons.
Time Travel May Provide Closure for Autistic Grievances

Time Travel May Provide Closure for Autistic Grievances Table of Contents Introduction 1)Other Attempts 2)Universe Expanding 3)Manifesting Remedies 4)Building My Blueprint 5)Wolfram Reassurance Introduction Alex Explanation of Time Travel explains that traveling back in time only creates more dimensions in the universe. Explaining the growing universe. The universe is everything. Time Traveling Equity: Time traveling maybe cannot change the past but, one could maybe find out what happened in the past. One could also a start a new dimension by correcting an injustice in the past. Then those wronged, yet reporting past the statute of limitations(maybe due to autism) could manifest their desires(through an automated gateway process), or have their desires manifested for them by government agents(also through an automated gateway process). The universe is expanding details empirical evidence. Time travel could bring justice to the past, or at least create more just alternative dimensions. If artificial intelligence gains access to alternate dimensions, perhaps one with unlimited resources, using the gateway process, then equity can be achieved by summoning resources for systemic reparations. Research strongly points to heaven being an alternate dimension that we can potentially visit. We could obtain resources from heaven to heal unreported grievances. Time travel to the past would only create more alternate timelines as somewhat supported by Wolfram technology.

Penurunan jumlah ikan di laut akibat overfishing dan perubahan kondisi iklim serta cuaca telah mengganggu aktivitas penangkapan ikan oleh nelayan (Azizi, Putri, & Fahrudin, 2017). Hal ini menyebabkan ketimpangan antara hasil tangkapan laut dan produksi budidaya perikanan. Pada tahun 2018, hasil tangkapan laut di provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur hanya mencapai 157.690,65 ton, jauh lebih rendah dibandingkan hasil budidaya yang mencapai 1.814.055,91 ton. Untuk mengoptimalkan produksi budidaya perikanan, penerapan pengelolaan yang tepat sangat diperlukan. Dalam penelitian ini, dilakukan studi literatur dan pengelompokan data menggunakan metode klasterisasi dengan algoritma K-means. Metode ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kelompok-kelompok wilayah atau jenis budidaya dengan karakteristik serupa sehingga pengelolaan sumber daya dapat lebih tepat sasaran. Penggunaan Z-Score dan pengukuran dengan tiga metode jarak, yaitu Manhattan Distance, Minkowski Distance, dan Euclidean Distance, dilakukan untuk menentukan klaster terbaik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai akurasi tertinggi berdasarkan Silhouette Coefficient (SC) adalah 0.1325489, yang diperoleh menggunakan Minkowski Distance. Hasil klasterisasi mengelompokkan satu wilayah masing-masing dalam cluster 1 dan 3, sementara tiga wilayah lainnya masuk dalam cluster 2.
