Published: May 2019

C. sinensis yapraklarından
elde edilen çayın antioksidatif, pro-oksidatif ve antikarsinojenik gibi değişik
farmakolojik etkileri vardır. Bitkilerin büyüme ve gelişmesi için gereksinim
duyulan bor elementinin eksikliği reaktif oksijen türlerini meydana getirir.
Yüksek bor konsantrasyonunun antioksidan enzim aktivitesini arttırdığı ve
membran fonksiyonlarını reaktif oksijen türlerinin zararlarından koruduğu bilinmektedir.
Çalışmamızın amacı; borik asit uygulanan yeşil çayın farklı dönemlerde hasat
edilen yapraklarındaki biyokimyasal değişikliklerin incelenmesidir. Rize-Çayeli
ilçesinde Çaykur deneme bahçesi 20 parsele ayrıldı. Gruplar,
C. sinensis’e 0 (A grubu), 100 (B
grubu), 300 (C grubu) ve 500 (D grubu) mg/m2 konsantrasyonlarda
borik asit uygulanarak oluşturuldu. Üç farklı hasat döneminde yeşil çay
yaprakları toplandı ve sıvı nitrojende fikse edildi. Yeşil çay ekstrelerinden katalaz (KAT), süperoksit dismutaz (SOD) enzim
aktivitelerinin ve glutatyon (GSH), malondialdehit (MDA) seviyelerinin tayini
yapıldı.
SOD enzim aktivitesi ve GSH seviyesi özellikle
3. hasat döneminde yüksekti, ayrıca B ve D gruplarında A grubuna göre anlamlı
artış vardı (p < 0.05). MDA seviyesinde 1. hasat döneminde B, C ve D
gruplarında, A grubuna göre bir azalma görüldü (p < 0.01). Bulgularımıza
göre,  yeşil çay yapraklarının yetiştiği
topraklarda meydana gelen bor eksikliği çayın koruyucu özelliğini düşürebilir.
Bor uygulanan bölgelerden elde edilen çay yaprakları ile antioksidan özelliğine
sahip daha kaliteli ürünler elde edilebilir.

Електронски документ, електронско пословање и електронско архиви-рање су термини који егзистирају у јавности готово две деценије, али су архивисти донедавно на њих гледали као на далеку будућност, а стање у коме су се налазили архиви и архивска служба Србије у периоду транзиције није дозвољавало размишљање, а још мање деловање у том правцу. Архиви су, што вољно што невољно, били искључени из процеса који су се дешавали у друштву у погледу информатичког развоја, заробљени у прошлости чије су остатке покушавали да спасу у периоду убрзане приватизације.

Published: May 2019

There is increasing interest in the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) for supporting populations of wildlife. While there are a number of association studies showing a relationship between protected areas and abundance or trends in wild species, studies with an appropriate counterfactual (what would have happened in the absence of protection) are rare. We use the world’s largest database on waterbird counts (covering 587 species at 21,989 sites globally) to answer three questions: 1) Do PAs have a positive impact on waterbird population trends relative to a counterfactual (this includes cases where a PA has lessened, but not halted, a population decline)?; 2) are PAs performing successfully by maintaining or increasing populations? and 3) what factors contribute to PA impact and performance? We selected 9,650 waterbird populations (here defined as a site species combination), consisting of 262 species at 546 protected sites, where PA designation occurred at least 5 years after the first survey date, and 5 years before the last. We will use this to compare trends before PA designation to those afterwards. We then matched these sites to unprotected sites with similar covariates in the years before PA designation, resulting in a matching dataset of 3,677 populations consisting of 94 species at 514 pairs of protected and unprotected sites. We will use this to compare trends both before and after PA designation and inside and outside of PAs. Our results will shed light on the impact of PA on hundreds of waterbird species, providing much needed evidence regarding PA effectiveness. As PA performance is a sensitive subject and it is important to develop hypotheses before knowing the results (especially for the relatively complex data analysis used in matching protected and unprotected sites), we present a pre-analysis plan. This will ensure that the final paper’s analyses are hypotheses testing, rather than generating, and avoids the risk of, or perception of, data dredging.

planes at a temperature as high as 1390 °C by tri-halide vapor phase epitaxy; further, the GaN film was also characterized. The FWHM value of the X-ray rocking curves was ∼40″, which was almost similar to the value of the used seed. The curvature radii were as large as 40–64 m. Further, the carrier concentrations were observed to be as small as 5.1 × 1017–9.1 × 1017 cm−3. However, the basal plane stacking fault densities were observed to be 3.4 × 101–5.4 × 101 cm−1 and were observed to increase during the growth process because of the as-grown SCAATTM seed surface condition.
Application of dynamic expansion tree for finding large network motifs in biological networks
Authors: Patra Sabyasachi , Mohapatra Anjali
Published: May 2019

Network motifs play an important role in the structural analysis of biological networks. Identification of such network motifs leads to many important applications such as understanding the modularity and the large-scale structure of biological networks, classification of networks into super-families, and protein function annotation. However, identification of large network motifs is a challenging task as it involves the graph isomorphism problem. Although this problem has been studied extensively in the literature using different computational approaches, still there is a lot of scope for improvement. Motivated by the challenges involved in this field, an efficient and scalable network motif finding algorithm using a dynamic expansion tree is proposed. The novelty of the proposed algorithm is that it avoids computationally expensive graph isomorphism tests and overcomes the space limitation of the static expansion tree (SET) which makes it enable to find large motifs. In this algorithm, the embeddings corresponding to a child node of the expansion tree are obtained from the embeddings of a parent node, either by adding a vertex or by adding an edge. This process does not involve any graph isomorphism check. The time complexity of vertex addition and edge addition are O(n) and O(1), respectively. The growth of a dynamic expansion tree (DET) depends on the availability of patterns in the target network. Pruning of branches in the DET significantly reduces the space requirement of the SET. The proposed algorithm has been tested on a protein–protein interaction network obtained from the MINT database. The proposed algorithm is able to identify large network motifs faster than most of the existing motif finding algorithms.

Authors: Lin Wei-Hao , Shih Hsing-Chun , Lin Chuen-Fu , Yang Cheng-Yao , Lin Chao-Nan , Chiou Ming-Tang
Published: May 2019

Background

Glaesserella(Haemophilus)parasuis(G. parasuis) causes severe economic losses in the swine industry. MultipleG. parasuisstrains can exist in single animals. Typing techniques are required for identifyingG. parasuisisolates. Different strains within a serovar display varying virulence. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR) can assess the heterogeneity. The group 1 virulence-associated trimeric autotransporters (vtaA) gene is an indicator of virulence. The aim of this study was to characterize TaiwaneseG. parasuisisolates via molecular serotyping, vtaA PCR and ERIC-PCR.

Methods

One hundred and forty-five strains were collected between November 2013 and March 2017 in Taiwan and further examined by molecular serotyping, vtaA PCR and ERIC-PCR.

Results

The dendrogram revealed heterogeneous genetic diversity within many clusters. Partial correlation between the ERIC-PCR clusters of different strains, serovars and lesion patterns was observed. Twelve herds (8.3%) infected with more than one strain. Group 1 vtaA positive rate reached 98.6%.

Discussion

This study showed the high genetic diversity ofG. parasuisin Taiwan by a high discriminatory capability of ERIC-PCR. Group 1 vtaA commonly exists inG. parasuisisolates and may play important roles in the pathogenesis of TaiwaneseG. parasuisisolates.

Authors: Riemer Manuel , Stalker Carol A. , Dittmer Livia , Cait Cheryl-Anne , Horton Susan , Kermani Narges , Booton Jocelyn
Published: May 2019

The walk-in counselling (WIC) model of service delivery has been found to reduce psychological distress more quickly than a traditional model of service delivery involving a wait list. A question remains, however, as to the relative benefit of the WIC model for different client groups. The present study uses graphical inspection and multilevel modelling to conduct moderator analyses comparing two agencies, one with a WIC clinic and the other with a traditional wait list approach, and their relative impact on psychological distress. Key findings regarding the differential benefits for different types of presenting problems as well as clients at different stages of change are discussed.
Test of Significance and Fiducial Limit of Voltage Stability Index for Indian 205 Bus System
Authors: Gupta Madhvi , Sharma N. K. , Gupta A. K.
Published: May 2019

Voltage delivery stability is frequently used to analyze power delivery systems. Under stressed condition, these indices denote the flexibility of voltage stability condition and predict the voltage collapse phenomenon by weak area clustering. The prediction of voltage collapse is very important for the smooth operation of power system, so that situation of voltage collapse could be avoided. For small transmission system, these indices work satisfactorily. In the present work, a large transmission system equivalent to 205 bus Indian transmission system has been examined. The Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI) proposed has been applying to test the system under consideration. Various aspects of power delivery system for example voltage profile, maximum load-ability limit, weakest bus and the different weak area clustering have been examined. Although the FVSI values obtained in the test result are capable of identifying the weak buses of the system, yet they vary in a non-linear manner i.e. for increasing values of load, the FVSI values first increase and then decrease.

Published: May 2019

Aims:  To evaluate the potentiality of bio-extract coatings for achieving extended shelf life with enhance fruit quality attributes in pomegranate under ambient storage condition. 

Study Design:  The lab experiment conducted in complete randomized design with three repetitions on Mridula cultivar of pomegranate.    

Place and Duration of Study:  The experiment was conducted during September 2016 at department of fruit science, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana, India.

Methodology: Pomegranate freshly harvested fruits were coated with three bio-extracts coatings viz. Aloe vera (50,75 and 100%), ginger (1,2 and 3%) and mints (10,20 and 30%). The coated fruits were stored at ambient room condition in corrugated fiber board boxes for twelve days.  Periodically effects of bio-extract coatings, storage period and their interaction were observed for physiological loss in weight, decay loss, juice content, TSS: acid ratio, ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content.   

Results: Surface coating with Aloe vera extract 100% was found most effective in reducing physiological loss in weight (50% less reduction as compared to untreated control) whereas ginger extract 3% in reducing the decay loss of fruits (9.65%) as compared to untreated control (23.36%). Among various treatments, the coating of pomegranate fruits with Aloe vera extract 100% resulted in lowest total soluble solids to acid ratio (32.17%) and significantly highest content of juice (47.17%), anthocyanin (13.98 mg/100 g) and ascorbic acid (12.82 mg/100 g) of the fruits along with highest organoleptic rating. The quality attributes viz. total soluble solids to acid ratio, anthocyanin of fruits increased with progression of storage period, while juice content and ascorbic acid decreased.

Conclusion: Bio-extract coating of Aloe vera (100%) substantially improved the shelf life with retaining better fruit quality attributes under ambient conditions and has the potential to substitute the prevalent chemical coatings for pomegranate.

Published: May 2019

This article focuses on the economic and financial calculations concerning the production of electrical energy from photovoltaic installations connected to the grid. The estimation of energy production is done in fifteen cities in Burkina Faso. Among these localities, ten cities are homes to synoptic stations. The economic return in terms of the return on investment of the electricity production from PV installations is calculated by using the method of budgeted capital. The cost of the energy produced by photovoltaic installations during their operational lives (taken here equal to 25 years) is calculated and compared with other economic parameters. The observation shows that Gaoua records the smallest production and that the highest production is recorded in Ouahigouya. The analysis of the cash flows generated by the operation of these PV installations shows that the profits are perceptible from the 8th year in Ouahigouya and the 9th year in Gaoua. An Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 14.42% is obtained in the locality of Ouahigouya. For locality of Gaoua the IRR is equal to13.72%. The calculation of Leveled Cost Of Energy (LCOE) gives an average value of 60 Fcfa / kWh for a discount rate of 4%. This value is almost equal to half the average price of electricity in Burkina Faso, which is 119 Fcfa / kWh.

Published: May 2019

Fibropapillomatosis of sea turtles is traditionally treated with surgical debulking techniques that are often associated with prolonged healing and tumor recurrence. Electrochemotherapy was recently described for green turtles Chelonia mydas and can be an alternative to surgery and even general anesthesia. The objectives of this study were to replicate an electrochemotherapy protocol from a previous report and add plasma bleomycin analysis to the treatment. After bleomycin injection into similarly sized tumors of two green turtles and immediate electroporation at two time points, plasma bleomycin reached detectable concentrations that were considerably lower than those found in human studies. At 3 months posttherapy, no healing complications or recurrences were encountered and only scar tissue remained. This study adds further support that electrochemotherapy with bleomycin has the potential to be used as an effective alternative treatment for this complex disease.
Adaptive identification and control of linear periodic systems using second‐level adaptation
Authors: Narendra Kumpati S. , Esfandiari Kasra
Published: May 2019

At the present time, there is a great deal of interest in the adaptive control of systems with rapidly varying parameters. Such problems arise in different forms and in many disciplines including finance, sociology, biology, and engineering. In general, these problems are intractable mathematically and the time variations have to be classified in some form to obtain rigorous results. In this paper, we consider the adaptive identification and control of linear systems with periodically varying parameters (referred to as linear time‐varying periodic (LTP) systems). The class of systems with known periodic parameters has been investigated widely since the pioneering work of Floquet and lends itself to rigorous mathematical analysis. However, very little was known until the early years of the last decade concerning the adaptive control of such systems. The problem was introduced by Xu and explored in detail by Narendra and Zhiling in 2006 and 2009, respectively. In 2012, a new method was introduced in adaptive control by Han and Narendra and is referred to as second‐level adaptation. In this paper, the adaptive identification and control of LTP systems using second‐level adaptation is discussed.

Is counseling ‘required’ with medications to treat opioid use disorder?
Authors: Stoller Kenneth B.
Published: May 2019

In “No Strings Attached: More Opioid Addicts Get Meds Without Talk Therapy,” an article by Beth Schwartzapfel of the Marshall Project published in USA Today May 9 (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2019/05/09/opioid‐crisis‐drugs‐no‐therapy/1131110001/), both sides were excellently reported. Kenneth B. Stoller, M.D., longtime methadone researcher from Johns Hopkins, was quoted as saying that medications without any talking is “selling patients short.” Some Twitter participants immediately charged that Stoller was kicking patients off medication if they weren't participating in counseling (which he doesn't do and the article doesn't say he does), and a protracted debate on Mother's Day led us to ask Stoller himself — who does not tweet — to respond. We copied and pasted the comments so he could see them. His response is below. (To see the Twitter thread, go to https://twitter.com/ADAWnews/status/1127175604959436800.)

The synthesized freestanding 2DP films are porous, insulating, and more importantly, covalently linked, which is ideally suited for nonvolatile memristors that use a conductive filament mechanism. These devices exhibit excellent switching performance with high reliability and reproducibility, with on/off ratios in the range of 102 to 105 depending on the thickness of the film. In addition, the endurance and data retention capability of 2DP‐based nonvolatile resistive memristors are up to 200 cycles and 8 × 104 s under constant voltage stress at 0.1 V. The intrinsic flexibility of the covalent organic polymer enables the fabrication of a flexible memory device on a polyimide film, which exhibits as reliable memory performance as that on the rigid substrate. Moreover, the 2DP‐based memory device shows outstanding thermal stability and organic solvent resistance, which are desirable properties for applications in wearable devices.

Reversible upconversion luminescence modification based on photochromism has received considerable interest due to its potential applications in optical storage and high‐sensitivity optical switches. However, stimulation‐induced bleaching by an external thermal field is generally used for photochromism‐induced reversible upconversion luminescence modification, which limits its practical application. In this work, a gray BaMgSiO4:Yb3+,Tb3+ ceramic is prepared, exhibiting the photochromism from gray to pink color when stimulated by 254 nm light. Interestingly, the pink BaMgSiO4:Yb3+,Tb3+ ceramic can be bleached by either a 473 nm laser or thermal stimulation. The reversible change between gray and pink color exhibits excellent reproducibility over several cycles by alternating between 254 and 473 nm (or thermal) light stimulation. The influence of the reversible photochromism of the BaMgSiO4:Yb3+,Tb3+ ceramic on its upconversion luminescence is investigated. Reversible modification of the upconversion luminescence is demonstrated by alternating between 254 and 473 nm (or thermal) light stimulation. For reversible modulation of the upconversion luminescence, excellent reproducibility is realized after several cycles. As an example, the application of the BaMgSiO4:Yb3+,Tb3+ photochromic ceramic as an anti‐counterfeiting agent is described.

Published: May 2019

Described is a tetrabutylammonium fluoride‐mediated hydroxyalkylation reaction of phenols with cyclic carbonates. This operationally simple method enables the synthesis of a variety of aryl β‐hydroxyethyl ethers in good to excellent yields with a very small amount of catalyst loading (0.1–1 mol%). Of particular note is the efficient conversion of aromatic diols and phloroglucinol to the corresponding bis‐ and tris‐hydroxyethylated products. To further showcase the versatility of this protocol, guaifenesin was prepared with a single step by the condensation of guaiacol and glycerol carbonate. We also developed a flow ethoxylation process permitting the continuous synthesis of multiflorol.

Published: May 2019

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed alkyl‐Heck‐type cross‐coupling of olefinic C−H bonds has been a challenge in the C−H activation area. Herein, we report FeCl3‐promoted efficient direct C−H cyanoalkylation of internal alkenes, that is, ketene dithioacetals, with cycloketone oxime esters via radical C−C bond cleavage under the redox‐neutral conditions. With CuCl2 as the catalyst under a dioxygen atmosphere direct C−H cyanoalkoxylation of the same internal alkenes was achieved. The cyanoalkylated tetrasubstituted alkene products could be diversely transformed to cyanoalkyl‐funtionalized N‐ and S‐heterocyclic compounds. The mechanistic studies have revealed that these C−H cyanoalkylation and cyanoalkoxylation reactions proceed through a radical pathway.

The Latent Threat of Community Violence: Indirect Exposure to Local Homicides and Adolescents’ Mental Health in Colombia
Authors: Cuartas Jorge , Roy Amanda L.
Published: May 2019

This study examines the relation between adolescents’ indirect exposure to local homicides and mental health disorders and post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. We employ a sample of 300 adolescents ( representative for Bogotá, Colombia, and geocoded data on violent crimes recorded by the national police. Findings show that one SD increment in local homicides is associated with increments by 0.17 SD in the mental health disorder index and a 0.14 SD increase in the PTSD score index, even after accounting for adolescents’ direct exposure to violence. The estimated effect for PTSD was larger for adolescents’ who were directly exposed to violence and for those living in multidimensionally poor households, whereas no detectable effects were found for adolescents who perceived their residential neighborhood as relatively safe.
Topical corticosteroid irrigations in chronic rhinosinusitis
Authors: Grayson Jessica W. , Harvey Richard J.
Published: May 2019

Background

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has previously been thought to occur secondary to infectious or obstructive etiologies. However, in recent years, primary CRS has been more discretely defined as diffuse airway inflammation, similar to asthma. Adequate medical and surgical therapy are needed to control the inflammation. Our purpose in this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical corticosteroid treatment.

Methods

A focused literature review was conducted and we identified 11 original articles from the years 2013‐2018 evaluating safety or efficacy of topical corticosteroid irrigations.

Results

Eleven articles were identified. One study found significant benefit between corticosteroid irrigations versus corticosteroid sprays. Two studies found significant benefit between corticosteroid irrigations compared to saline irrigations while two did not. One study found significant improvement in certain patient populations when using corticosteroid irrigations compared to no irrigation. Five studies found no significant increase in risk of adverse side effects with the use of topical corticosteroids.

Conclusion

Many factors are associated with efficacious and adequate treatment of primary CRS. The pathology must be correctly diagnosed and be inflammatory in nature. The treatment paradigm should include wide and complete endoscopic sinus surgery for the adequate delivery of topical therapy. Topical therapy should be delivered in large‐volume, low‐pressure devices with adequate dosing. Although there is some systemic absorption, multiple studies have demonstrated that long‐term, daily use of topical corticosteroids does not increase intraocular pressure, suppress the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal axis, or increase the risk of subcapsular cataracts. Therefore, topical corticosteroid irrigations should be considered a part of first‐line medical treatment in postsurgical CRS patients.
Room‐Temperature Activation of H2 by a Surface Frustrated Lewis Pair

Published: May 2019

Surface frustrated Lewis pairs (SFLPs) have been implicated in the gas‐phase heterogeneous (photo)catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to CO and CH3OH by In2O3−x(OH)y. A key step in the reaction pathway is envisioned to be the heterolysis of H2 on a proximal Lewis acid–Lewis base pair, the SFLP, the chemistry of which is described as In⋅⋅⋅In‐OH + H2 → In‐OH2+⋅⋅⋅In‐H−. The product of the heterolysis, thought to be a protonated hydroxide Lewis base In‐OH2+ and a hydride coordinated Lewis acid In‐H−, can react with CO2 to form either CO or CH3OH. While the experimental and theoretical evidence is compelling for heterolysis of H2 on the SFLP, all conclusions derive from indirect proof, and direct observation remains lacking. Unexpectedly, we have discovered rhombohedral In2O3−x(OH)y can enable dissociation of H2 at room temperature, which allows its direct observation by several analytical techniques. The collected analytical results lean towards the heterolysis rather than the homolysis reaction pathway.

In den letzten Jahren gab es rasante Fortschritte bei der Synthese von Bleihalogenid‐Perowskit‐Nanokristallen (NCs) für den Einsatz in Solarzellen, Leuchtdioden, Lasern und Photodetektoren. Sie besitzen eine Reihe faszinierender optischer, excitonischer und Ladungstransporteigenschaften, einschließlich hervorragender Photolumineszenz‐Quantenausbeuten (PLQY) und abstimmbaren optischen Bandlücken. Die notwendige Verwendung von Blei, einem toxischen Element, gibt jedoch Anlass zu ernsthafter Besorgnis über die zukünftige kommerzielle Entwicklung. Um das Problem der Toxizität zu lösen, wurden in jüngster Zeit intensive Forschungsarbeiten zur Entwicklung bleifreier Halogenid‐Perowskit(LFHP)‐NCs durchgeführt. In diesem Aufsatz geben wir einen Überblick über die derzeit erforschten LFHP‐NCs mit den Schwerpunkten Kristallstruktur, Synthese, optische Eigenschaften und Umgebungsstabilität (z. B. UV‐, Wärme‐ und Feuchtigkeitsbeständigkeit). Darüber hinaus werden Strategien zur Verbesserung der optischen Eigenschaften und Stabilitäten von LFHP‐NCs sowie deren neueste Anwendungen diskutiert.

Diamondoids, sp3‐hybridized nanometer‐sized diamond‐like hydrocarbons (nanodiamonds), difunctionalized with hydroxy and primary phosphine oxide groups, enable the assembly of the first sp3‐C‐based chemical sensors by vapor deposition. Both pristine nanodiamonds and palladium nanolayered composites can be used to detect toxic NO2 and NH3 gases. This carbon‐based gas sensor technology allows reversible NO2 detection down to 50 ppb and NH3 detection at 25–100 ppm concentration with fast response and recovery processes at 100 °C. Reversible gas adsorption and detection is compatible with 50 % humidity conditions. Semiconducting p‐type sensing properties are achieved from devices based on primary phosphine–diamantanol, in which high specific area (ca. 140 m2 g−1) and channel nanoporosity derive from H‐bonding.

Cargo transport along axons, a physiological process mediated by motor proteins, is essential for neuronal function and survival. A current limitation in the study of axonal transport is the lack of a robust imaging technique with a high spatiotemporal resolution to visualize and quantify the movement of motor proteins in real‐time and in different depth planes. Herein, we present a dynamic imaging technique that fully exploits the characteristics of upconversion nanoparticles. This technique can be used as a microscopic probe for the quantitative in situ tracking of retrograde transport neurons with single‐particle resolution in multilayered cultures. This study may provide a powerful tool to reveal dynamic neuronal activity and intra‐axonal transport function as well as any associated neurodegenerative diseases resulting from mutation or impairment in the axonal transport machinery.
Why Did a Female Penis Evolve in a Small Group of Cave Insects?
Authors: Yoshizawa Kazunori , Ferreira Rodrigo L. , Lienhard Charles , Kamimura Yoshitaka
Published: May 2019

The evolution of a female penis is an extremely rare event and is only known to have occurred in a tribe of small cave insects, Sensitibillini (Psocodea: Trogiomorpha: Prionoglarididae). The female penis, which is protrudable and inserted into the male vagina‐like cavity during copulation to receive semen, is thought to have evolved independently twice in this tribe, in the Brazilian Neotrogla and the African Afrotrogla. These findings strongly suggest that there are some factors unique to Sensitibillini that have facilitated female penis evolution. Here, several hypothetical factors are presented that may have enabled the evolution of the female penis in Sensitibillini. The female–female competition for nutritious semen, the oligotrophic environment, and the twin insemination slots with switching valve are considered to be the driving factors for female penis evolution. Additionally, the following factors are considered responsible for relaxing the constraint against female penis evolution: preexistence of the female‐above mating position, the elongated duct connecting the female pre‐penis with the sperm storage organ, and the small male genital cavity accepting the female genital tubercle bearing the opening of this duct. Understanding the factors enabling female penis evolution may also shed light on the evolution of the male penis.

We aim to provide an overview of the various digital three‐dimensional visualizations used for learning anatomy and to assess whether these improve medical students' understanding of anatomy compared to traditional learning methods. Furthermore, we evaluate the attitudes of the users of three‐dimensional visualizations. We included articles that compared advanced newer three‐dimensional anatomy visualization methods (i.e., virtual reality, augmented reality, and computer‐based three‐dimensional visualizations) to traditional methods that have been used for a long time (i.e., cadaver and textbooks) with regard to users' understanding of anatomy. Of the 1,148 articles identified, 21 articles reported data on the effectiveness of using three‐dimensional visualization methods compared to two‐dimensional methods. Twelve articles found that three‐dimensional visualization is a significantly more effective learning method compared to traditional methods, whereas nine articles did not find that three‐dimensional visualization was a significantly more effective method. In general, based on these articles, medical students prefer to use three‐dimensional visualizations to learn anatomy. In most of the articles, using three‐dimensional visualization was shown to be a more effective method to gain anatomical knowledge compared to traditional methods. Besides that, students are motivated and interested in using these new visualization methods for learning anatomical structures. Clin. Anat. 32:25–33, 2019. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Insight on Propolis from Mediterranean Countries: Chemical Composition, Biological Activities and Application Fields
Authors: El‐Guendouz Soukaina , Lyoussi Badiaa , Miguel Maria G.
Published: May 2019

This review updates the information upon the chemical composition of propolis from all Mediterranean countries as well as their biological properties and applications. The non‐volatile fraction of propolis was characterized by the presence of phenolic acids and their esters and flavonoids. Nevertheless, in some countries, diterpenes were also present: Sicily (Italy), Croatia, Malta, Creta (Greece), Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Libya, Algeria and Morocco. The volatile fraction of propolis was characterized by the presence of benzoic acid and its esters, mono‐ and sesquiterpenes, being the oxygenated sesquiterpene β‐eudesmol characteristic of poplar propolis, whereas the hydrocarbon monoterpene α‐pinene has been related with the presence of conifers. Regardless the chemical composition, there are common biological properties attributed to propolis. Owing to these attributes, propolis has been target of study for applications in diverse areas, such as food, medicine and livestock.
