Prosocial lie-telling in preschoolers: The impacts of ethnic background, parental factors, and perceived consequence for the partner
Authors: Dobrin-De Grace Roksana , Ma Lili
Published: March 2023

This study explored prosocial lie-telling behavior in 4- to 5-year-old children from two ethnic groups: European Canadian (n = 49; excluding Eastern European Canadian) and Chinese Canadian (n = 45). Children completed an online experiment involving two real-life politeness situations. In the first situation, children were asked whether they thought someone with a red mark on their face looked okay for a photo or a Zoom party (Reverse Rouge Task). In the second situation, upon hearing the researcher’s misconception about two pieces of artwork, children were asked whether they agreed with the researcher (Art Rating Task). Parents completed questionnaires that measured their levels of collectivist orientation and parenting styles. Contrary to our hypotheses, the likelihood of children telling a prosocial lie did not vary as a function of their ethnic group or the presence of a perceived consequence for the partner, nor was it predicated by parental collectivist orientation. Interestingly, prosocial liars were more likely to have authoritative parents, whereas blunt-truth tellers were more likely to have permissive parents. These findings have important implications for the ways in which certain parenting styles influence the socialization of positive politeness in children. In addition, the similar rates of prosocial lying across the two ethnic groups suggest that children who are born and raised in Canada may be much more alike than different in their prosocial lie-telling behavior, despite coming from different ethnic backgrounds.
The effects of physical exercise on anxiety symptoms of college students: A meta-analysis
Authors: Lin Yanru , Gao Wei
Published: March 2023

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an exercise intervention on improving and alleviating anxiety symptoms in college students with a meta-analytical approach.

Methods

Several databases (e.g., PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library) were used to search for randomized controlled trials (in short, RCTs) on interventions for physical exercise or aerobic exercise in college students with anxiety symptoms. Stata software, version 16.0, was applied sequentially for traditional meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, and publication bias analysis.

Results

A total of nine papers were included. The total literature effect [SMD = −0.55, 95% CI = −0.76 to −0.35, Z = 5.38 (P < 0.001)] indicated that physical activity had a significant effect on alleviating anxiety. Subgroup analysis also showed that exercise interventions using aerobic exercise or yoga were effective in relieving anxiety (SMD = −0.39, 95% CI = −0.74 to −0.04; SMD = −0.76, 95% CI = −1.14 to −0.39).

Conclusion

Physical activity interventions were shown to have a positive effect on alleviating anxiety in college students. Aerobic exercise was found to be the optimal mode.

Solution-focused approaches in adult mental health research: A conceptual literature review and narrative synthesis
Authors: Jerome Lauren , McNamee Philip , Abdel-Halim Nadia , Elliot Kathryn , Woods Jonathan
Published: March 2023

Solution-focused approaches are one approach to treatment used in a wide variety of settings in modern mental healthcare services. As yet, there has been no overall synthesis of how this approach is understood in the adult mental health literature. This conceptual review aimed to synthesize the ways that solution-focused approaches have been conceptualized and understood, within the adult mental health literature, in the five decades since their conception. A systematic search followed by multiple techniques from the narrative synthesis approach were used to develop a conceptual framework of the extracted data. Fifty-six papers published between 1993 and 2019 were included in the review. These papers spanned a variety of clinical contexts and countries, but despite this the underlying key principles and concepts of solution-focused approaches were remarkably similar over time and setting. Thematic analysis of extracted data outlined five key themes relevant to the conceptualization of this approach. This conceptual framework will help support clinicians using solution-focused techniques or therapies by giving them a coherent understanding of such approaches, by what mechanisms they work, and how key principles of this approach can be utilized in adult mental health settings.

Published: March 2023

With the development of social economics and the increase of working pressure, more and more women are suffering from long-term serious stress and showing symptoms of perimenopausal depression (PMD). The incidence rate of PMD is increasing, and the physical and mental health are seriously affected. However, due to the lack of accurate knowledge of pathophysiology, its diagnosis and treatment cannot be accurately executed. By consulting the relevant literature in recent years, this paper elaborates the neuroendocrine mechanism of perimenopausal depression from the aspects of epigenetic changes, monoamine neurotransmitter and receptor hypothesis, glial cell-induced neuroinflammation, estrogen receptor, interaction between HPA axis and HPG axis, and micro-organism-brain gut axis. The purpose is to probe into new ways of treatment of PMD by providing new knowledge about the neuroendocrine mechanism and treatment of PMD.

Authors: Tse Desiree Man-Sik , Kiu Omar Tsui Wai , Yeo Victoria Anna , Kiu Elkie Chan Yu , Yip Paul , Ip Patrick , Choi Edmond Pui Hang , Wong William Chi Wai
Published: March 2023

Background

COVID-19 pandemic has led to school closure and social distancing measures for infection control. Many young people thus spent more time on electronic devices and the Internet. This study aimed to determine if and how sexual knowledge, perception and behavior as well as sexuality among Hong Kong adolescents were affected as a result.

Methods

Youth Sexuality Study conducted by The Family Planning Association of Hong Kong (FPAHK) evaluated the sexual knowledge, attitudes and behaviors and sexual health of youth every 5 years since 1981 with adaptations made to the changing environment. We analyzed this cross-sectional data on sexual knowledge, attitude, and experiences as well as the impacts of COVID-19 on daily life, health and relationships. Univariate analysis was conducted to investigate the relationships between the time spent on electronic devices and sexuality, while mediation analyses using the PROCESS procedure were performed to further explore differences in time spent on electronic devices.

Results

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of our participants spent more time on social media and browsing the Internet on electronic devices with less time for extracurricular activities and learning. Nonetheless, there was better overall sexual knowledge and a lower degree of sexual stigma with a higher overall acceptance of sexual minorities. The mediation analyses found that sexual content [Conditional effect = 0.024 (95% CI 0.008, 0.043)] and engagement online [Conditional effect = 0.036 (CI 0.021, 0.053)] could indirectly influence the effect of screen time on the frequency of sexual practices.

Conclusion

Policymakers and frontline professionals should re-examine the pedagogy of the present sex education and consider online sex education as the key mode of delivery while guiding the proper use of electronic devices in the learning and exploration of sexual knowledge.
Semantic and pragmatic precision in conversational AI systems
Authors: Bunt Harry , Petukhova Volha
Published: March 2023

For a conversational agent, to display intelligent interactive behavior implies the ability to respond to the user's intentions and expectations with correct, consistent and relevant actions with appropriate form and content in a timely fashion. In this paper, we present a data-driven analytical approach to embed intelligence into a conversational AI agent. The method requires a certain amount of (ideally) authentic conversational data, which is transformed in a meaningful way to support intelligent dialog modeling and the design of intelligent conversational agents. These transformations rely on the ISO 24617-2 dialog act annotation standard, and are specified in the Dialogue Act Markup Language (DiAML), extended with plug-ins for articulate representations of domain-specific semantic content and customized communicative functionality. ISO 24617-2 is shown to enable systematic in-depth interaction analysis and to facilitate the collection of conversational data of sufficient quality and quantity of instances of interaction phenomena. The paper provides the theoretical and methodological background of extending the ISO standard and DiAML specifications for use in interaction analysis and conversational AI agent design. The expert-assisted design methodology is introduced, with example applications in the healthcare domain, and is validated in human-agent conversational data collection experiments.

Published: March 2023

Cellular agriculture is one of the evolving fields of translational biotechnology. The emerging science aims to improve the issues related to sustainable food products and food security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide animal wellbeing by circumventing livestock farming through cell-based meat (CBM) production. CBM exploits cell culture techniques and biomanufacturing methods by manipulating mammalian, avian, and fish cell lines. The cell-based products ought to successfully meet the demand for nutritional protein products for human consumption and pet animals. However, substantial advancement and modification are required for manufacturing CBM and related products in terms of cost, palatability, consumer acceptance, and safety. In order to achieve high-quality CBM and its production with high yield, the molecular aspect needs a thorough inspection to achieve good laboratory practices for commercial production. The current review discusses various aspects of molecular biology involved in establishing cell lines, myogenesis, regulation, scaffold, and bioreactor-related approaches to achieve the target of CBM.
Investigation of the drivers and atmospheric impacts of energetic electron precipitation
Authors: Pettit Joshua , Elliott Sadie , Randall Cora , Halford Alexa , Jaynes Allison , Garcia-Sage Katherine
Published: March 2023

The drivers and atmospheric impacts of energetic electron precipitation are not yet well understood. Further, electron precipitation is often poorly represented in atmospheric modeling. Additional investigations of the drivers and impacts of electron precipitation are needed to improve models and space weather forecasting requirements. To accurately represent the troposphere through the ionosphere in model simulations, it is vital to account for the chemistry accurately. Electron precipitation is a frequent, yet often ignored middle to high latitude forcing that can have dramatic effects on the middle and upper atmosphere. Over the past decade, several electron precipitation data sets have been developed, however, validation has been difficult due to the lack of independent observations of electron fluxes. Additionally, the limited number of satellites making measurements of global magnetospheric wave activity in concert with the resulting electron precipitation restricts our ability to accurately capture the drivers simultaneously with the precipitation. Accurate characterization of the drivers is needed for physics-based magnetosphere modeling. Likewise, accurate precipitating electron fluxes and relative energies are needed to improve our atmospheric modeling studies. Finally, in order to properly validate and improve our current modeling efforts, observations of atmospheric composition are necessary.
Agricultural transformations in the arid, drought-prone region of Kachchh: People-led, market-oriented growth under adverse climatic conditions
Authors: Patel Praharsh M.
Published: March 2023

Water availability, soil suitability, and favorable climate are the primary requirements for stable agricultural production. However, due to erratic rainfall and scarcity of irrigation water, arid regions suffer from volatile conditions for agriculture. For example, Kachchh, the westernmost district of India in Gujarat, has an arid climate, with more than half of the area is either partially inundated by seawater or classified as desert. The remaining landmass experiences low (15 Year Annual Normal = 450 mm) and erratic (45 percent Coefficient of Variation) rainfall rendering agriculture in the region, not a promising occupation. But in recent years, access to irrigation through groundwater, the advent of micro-irrigation practices, and increasing market-oriented crops supported by regular rainfall have led to significant agricultural improvement for the region. As a result, there has been a significant shift toward less water-intensive and high-value horticulture crops. This paper ponders upon drivers of agricultural transformations in Kachchh combining the quantitative observation data and qualitative field insights. It also highlights hurdles to the smooth adoption of drought-resilient and market-oriented agriculture during the adverse climatic conditions.
Treatment outcomes of posterior pilon fractures using a simple single lateral approach via stretching fibular fracture line
Authors: Liang Wei , Zhou Mingping , Jiang Zhongting , Mao Xuanyu , Zhou Xiang
Published: March 2023

Purpose

The aim of this study was to explore the treatment outcomes of a novel single lateral approach via fibular fracture line for patients with posterior pilon fractures.

Patients and methods

From January 2020 to December 2021, a total of 41 patients with posterior pilon fractures who received surgical treatment in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty patients (Group A) were treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) via posterolateral approach. Twenty-one patients (Group B) were treated with ORIF using a simple single lateral approach via stretching fibular fracture line. Clinical assessments, including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, visual analogue scale (VAS), and the active range of motion (ROM) of the ankle at the final follow-up visit after surgery, were performed in all patients. Radiographic outcome was evaluated by using the criteria proposed by Burwell and Charnley.

Results

The mean follow-up time was 21 months (range 12–35). The average operation time and intraoperative blood loss in the Group B were significantly less than those in the Group A. Moreover, the AOFAS score and ankle ROM in the Group B were significantly higher than those in the Group A at the final follow-up visit. Eighteen cases (90%) in Group A and 19 cases (90.5%) in Group B achieved anatomical reduction of the fracture.

Conclusion

The single lateral approach via stretching fibular fracture line is a simple and effective technique for reduction and fixation of posterior pilon fractures.

Lysolecithin might increase ruminal and intestinal emulsification, leading to increased digestibility, but there is minimum information about which is the most appropriate phase to start supplementation and its impacts on feedlot performance and muscle fatty acid profile. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of phase-feeding of Lysoforte™ eXtend (LYSO). In the first experiment, 1,760 predominantly Bos indicus bullocks (initial body weight of 400 ± 0.561 kg) were allocated in a complete randomized block design. LYSO was supplemented at 1 g/1% of ether extract from the diet. Treatments were no LYSO supplementation (NON); LYSO starting during the growing period and continuing during the finishing period; LYSO starting during the finishing period (FIN); and LYSO during adaptation, growing, and finishing periods (ALL). In the second experiment, the same treatments were evaluated with 96 bullocks (64 Nellore and 32½ Nellore × ½ Angus) in a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement (treatments × genotype). For both studies, intake and average daily gain were accessed; carcass characteristics were evaluated in the first experiment, while digestibility of nutrients and profile of muscle fatty acids were measured in the second experiment. In the first experiment, LYSO increased final body weight (P < 0.022) and average daily gain (GRO and FIN; P < 0.05). In the second study, a treatment × breed × feeding phase interaction was observed with Nellore having a greater average daily gain (P < 0.05) than crossbreds in every feeding phase that LYSO was introduced to the diet. A treatment × feeding phase interaction was observed for digestibility, such that LYSO increased total dry matter (P = 0.004), crude protein (P = 0.043), and NDF (P = 0.001) digestibility during the finishing period. A treatment × breed × day classification was observed (P < 0.05). During the finishing phase, crossbreds treated with LYSO had greater DMI (P < 0.05) on very hot days than NON. Also, animals treated with LYSO presented a greater C18:3 n3 concentration (P = 0.047) in the longissimus. Overall, feeding LYSO during GRO and FIN enhanced feedlot performance and should lead to higher intakes during very hot days of the finishing feeding period.
Drivers and perceived constraints on Dutch dairy farms to engage in disease prevention

Published: March 2023

Introduction

While prevention is increasingly important in the dairy sector, implementation of cost-effective preventive measures is often lacking. To increase the use of these measures and consequently improve animal welfare and reduce financial losses for farmers, it is necessary to know the drivers and constraints of farmers to engage in prevention.

Methods

Therefore, we invited farmers to participate in an online questionnaire, which contained questions about their behavior toward either claw health or calf health. We used the theory form the Stage of Change model, COM-B, as well as the Theory of Planned Behavior to formulate our questions. We used the responses of 226 farmers in our analyses, who were equally distributed over the two groups of diseases.

Results and discussion

We found that 63.5% of responding farmers were in the action phase or the maintenance phase to prevent claw diseases and even more (85.4%) to prevent calf diseases. The responses also suggest that many farmers have the knowledge and skills to implement preventive measures for both claw and calf diseases. The scores for social and physical opportunities for calf diseases were significantly higher than for claw diseases and all other COM-B components were also numerically higher for calf diseases. This suggests that farmers' perception of taking preventive measures against claw diseases is more difficult than taking preventive measures against calf disease. The automation of preventive behavior scored relatively low for both groups of diseases, which suggests that farmers may need reminders to persist in their activities and support to create habitual prevention behaviors. From these results, we concluded that creating social norms, supporting discussions among farmers, and using environmental adaptations may result in more preventive behavior.

Published: March 2023

Objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) implies increased comorbidity burden, disability, and mortality, becoming a significant public health problem worldwide, however, prevalence data are lacking in Hungary.

Methods: We determined CKD prevalence, stage distribution, comorbidities using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albuminuria, and international disease codes in a cohort of healthcare utilizing residents within the catchment area of the University of Pécs, in the County Baranya, Hungary, between 2011 and 2019 by database analysis. The number of laboratory-confirmed and diagnosis-coded CKD patients were compared.

Results: Of the total 296,781 subjects of the region, 31.3% had eGFR tests and 6.4% had albuminuria measurements, of whom we identified 13,596 CKD patients (14.0%) based on laboratory thresholds. Distribution by eGFR was presented (G3a: 70%, G3b: 22%, G4: 6%, G5: 2%). Amongst all CKD patients 70.2% had hypertension, 41.5% diabetes, 20.5% heart failure, 9.4% myocardial infarction, 10.5% stroke. Only 28.6% of laboratory-confirmed cases were diagnosis-coded for CKD in 2011–2019.

Conclusion: CKD prevalence was 14.0% in a Hungarian subpopulation of healthcare-utilizing subjects in 2011–2019, and substantial under-reporting of CKD was also found.
Correlation between Blood Lipid Level and Osteoporosis in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus—A Retrospective Study Based on Inpatients in Beijing, China
Authors: Zhao Xin , Sun Jianbin , Xin Sixu , Zhang Xiaomei
Published: March 2023

Objective: to analyze the association between blood lipid metabolism and osteoporosis (OP) in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: a total of 1158 older patients with T2DM treated by the Department of Endocrinology, Peking University International Hospital, were retrospectively analyzed, including 541 postmenopausal women and 617 men. Results: (1) Levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly higher in the OP group, while levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were higher in the non-osteoporotic group (both p < 0.05). (2) Age, parathyroid hormone (PTH), total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-C were negatively linked to the patients’ bone mineral density (BMD) (all p < 0.05), while the body mass index (BMI), uric acid (UA) level, HDL-C level and glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were positively related to their BMD (all p < 0.05). (3) In postmenopausal women, after adjustment for other indexes, raised LDL-C is an independent risk factor for OP (OR = 3.38, 95% CI 1.64, 6.98, p < 0.05) while raised HDL-C is protective (OR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.24, 0.96, p < 0.05). However, raised HDL-C was protective against OP (OR = 0.07, 95% CI 0.01, 0.53, p < 0.05). Conclusion: In older T2DM patients, the effect of blood lipid levels is related to sex. Our study conducted a detailed sex stratification. In addition to seeing the traditional risk factors of OP, such as age, sex, and BMI, we comprehensively analyzed the correlation between the blood glucose level, complications, and blood lipids with OP. HDL-C is a protective factor for OP in both men and women, while LDL-C independently predicts OP in postmenopausal women.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Laser lithotripsy during Mini-PCNL is one treatment option in urinary stone disease. In recent years, a new era in stone treatment has been initiated with the introduction of new pulsed thulium lasers. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of laser lithotripsy with a new pulsed solid-state thulium:YAG laser during mini-PCNL. Materials and methods: All patients, regardless of stone size, who were treated with a Mini-PCNL using the new pulsed thulium laser were prospectively enrolled. Operation times, stone size, laser time, and laser settings were noted. The stone-free rate was assessed postoperatively with sonography and either X-ray or computed tomography as a clinical standard. The complications were analyzed using the Clavien-Dindo classification. Results: A total of 50 patients with a mean age of 52 years were included. 31 (62 %) patients were male. The average stone size was 242.3 (±233.1) mm2 with an average density of 833 (±325) Hounsfield units. The mean operating time was 30.56 (±28.65) min, and the laser-on-time was 07:07 (± 07:08) min. The most commonly used settings were 0.4 J and 115 Hz (46 W). The mean total energy for stone ablation was 14,166 (±17,131) kJ. The total stone-free rate was 84 %, with an overall complication rate of 32% according to Clavien-Dindo (grade 1: n = 9, grade 2: n = 6, 3b: n = 1). In the group of patients with singular stones (n = 25), the stone-free rate was 88%. Summary: The new pulsed solid-state Thulium:YAG laser allows a safe and effective lithotripsy during Mini-PCNL. The stone-free rates were high regardless of stone size with a comparable low rate of complications.

Termini nicht-lateinischer Herkunft in der mittelalterlichen Musiktheorie anhand des Lexicon musicum Latinum medii aevi
Authors: Berktold Christian
Published: March 2023

The Lexicon musicum Latinum medii aevi (LmL) is a «Dictionary of Medieval Latin Musical Terminology to the End of the 15th Century» . In comparison with a comprehensive dictionary of Medieval Latin, such as the Mittellateinische Wörterbuch, there are some peculiarities of the musical terminology. Thus, five linguistic categories of increasing complexity can be found within the LmL : single letters – syllables – vocalises – single words – conjunctions of words. In addition, technical terms of non-Latin origin are also included in the LmL. Typically they occur in these areas : termini from the ancient Greek musical theory – Greek lemmata without an ancient origin – vernacular language (terms that designate musical instruments or genres) – names of neumes – intonation formulas – terms in the manuscript Montecassino 318.
Histoire et perspectives du Novum Glossarium Mediae Latinitatis. Un « Nouveau Du Cange »
Authors: Bon Bruno
Published: March 2023

En 1923, l’Union Académique Internationale (www.uai-iua.org) lançait le «Dictionnaire du Latin Médiéval» , pour remplacer le Glossarium Mediae et Infimae Latinitatis de Charles Du Cange (XVIIe siècle). Le «Nouveau Du Cange» devait être un dictionnaire scientifique moderne, historique et généraliste du latin de toute l’Europe des IXe-XIIe siècles. Pour le réaliser, un réseau européen de lexicographie médiolatine fut constitué. Un siècle plus tard, le projet a évolué : la consultation du Novum Glossarium et des dictionnaires nationaux de l’UAI, complémentaires, permet d’éviter en partie le recours aux dictionnaires de latin classique, sans remplacer entièrement l’ancien Glossarium de Du Cange. La rédaction du Novum Glossarium (IRHT-CNRS), qui doit rendre compte de plus de 10 000 références bibliographiques, est passée du «tout empirique» (dépouillement traditionnel au fil de l’eau) au «tout informatique » : à nouveau support, nouvelles méthodes, fondées sur l’exploitation des corpus textuels numérisés. Au delà de la numérisation rétrospective du Glossarium et des fascicules parus du Novum Glossarium,

déjà réalisée, la perspective d’une publication électronique de la suite du dictionnaire se précise. L’Index scriptorum du Novum Glossarium, converti en SQL et en cours d’indexation, doit servir de base bibliographique. La révolution numérique en cours permet ainsi d’envisager un «Nouveau Nouveau Du Cange», dans le cadre des collaborations engagées autour de projets européens et nationaux, et d’aboutir à la concrétisation du rêve fondateur d’un dictionnaire universel du latin médiéval.
Novità lessicali nel latino dei documenti privati della Lombardia medievale
Authors: Barbieri Ezio
Published: March 2023

Those are considerations formulated by a diplomatist, i. e. a researcher of medieval records. The pursuit of latin words in medieval records of the centuries xist-xiind first of all must observe the records quality and examine the original document in archives and not only the printed editions, sometimes not critical and sometimes, although critical, with some misleading errors of transcription. It can come out that several interesting words were left off in partial transcriptions/ editions or can be read in a wrong way and effaced and not considered in the final issue of this search. Some records are edited with a wrong dating and supply an incorrect chronological sequence ; in other parchments the chronological datas are written accidentally in a wrong way and need a closely examination for a correct awarding to the right year and day. All the share of a record are utilizited not only in order to recover new latin words, but also to single out new meanings of traditional latin words.
El glosario Flor de las yervas (BNE-3338). Estudio y edición crítica
Authors: Pensado Figueiras Jesús
Published: March 2023

La Flor de las yervas provechosas a la salud es un glosario inédito formado por lemas médico-botánicos con sinónimos y equivalentes terminológicos en distintos idiomas. Aunque la selección de voces en los glosarios de esta naturaleza responde a criterios oscuros para el investigador actual, el objetivo último de su composición era el de facilitar la comprensión del léxico empleado habitualmente en los tratados y de facilitar la práctica médica, evitando confusiones de orden lexicográfico, de graves consecuencias para los usuarios de la medicina. La Flor de las yervas se apoya en obras previas de naturaleza semejante : el más relevante es el glosario latino conocido por Alphita, compuesto a su vez a partir de otros glosarios de la alta Edad Media. También presenta concomitancias significativas con la Sinonima de los nombres de las medeçinas, que toma parte de sus lemas de la tradición árabe, concretada en los índices a la traducción latina del Canon de Avicena. Con tales fuentes, la Flor de las yervas constituye una importante muestra de la transmisión y la interpretación del léxico médico en su paso del latín y el árabe al romance medieval. Su análisis permitirá comprender mejor su composición y los elementos clave de su estructura, esenciales para abordar posteriormente una edición crítica que permitirá el acceso de la Flor de las yervas al público interesado.

Background:

C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare kidney disease, which makes it difficult to collect large cohorts of patients to better understand its variability. The aims of this study were to describe the clinical profiles and patterns of progression of kidney disease.

Methods:

Retrospective, observational cohort study. Patients diagnosed with C3G between 1995–2020 were enrolled. Study population was divided into clinical profiles by combining the following predictors: eGFR under/above 30 ml/min/1.73m2fn2, proteinuria under/above 3.5 g/day, histologic chronicity score under/above 4. The change in eGFR and proteinuria over time was evaluated in a subgroup with consecutive measurements of eGFR and proteinuria.

Results:

115 patients with a median age of 30 years (IQR 19–50) were included. Patients were divided into 8 clinical profiles. Kidney survival was significantly higher in patients with a chronicity score <4 and proteinuria <3.5g/day, both in those presenting with an eGFR under/above 30 ml/min/1.73m2. Median eGFR slope of patients who reached kidney failure was -6.5 ml/min/1.73m2/per year (IQR -1.6; -17). Patients who showed a reduction in proteinuria over time did not reach kidney failure. Based on the rate of eGFR decline patients were classified as faster eGFR decline (≥5 ml/min/1.73m2/year), slower (<5 ml/min/1.73m2/year), and those without decline. A faster eGFR decline was associated with higher probability of kidney failure.

Conclusions:

Kidney survival is significantly higher in patients with a chronicity score <4 and proteinuria <3.5 g/day regardless of baseline eGFR, and a faster rate of decline in eGFR is associated with higher probability of kidney failure.
Teološka promišljanja i konkretna ostvarenja kršćanskoga bratstva. Bratstvo vjeroučitelja u službi kršćanskoga i univerzalnoga bratstva
Authors: Punda Edvard , Periš Josip
Published: March 2023

U članku se promišlja o vrlo važnoj, ali i zapostavljenoj temi kršćanstva i katoličke teologije, o temi bratstva. Ako neke teološke teme i mogu ostati samo u području spekulativnoga, misaonoga, tema bratstva u svojoj biti traži konkretna ostvarenja i pokazatelje. U članku se, stoga, najprije predstavlja ponovno otkrivanje aktualnosti teme i pojma bratstva u Crkvi i teologiji. Navodi se nekoliko misli općenito o pojmu „brat” i „bratstvo” i predstavlja kršćansko poimanje bratstva. Pokazat će se kako ono, makar u nekim vidovima, može biti i model življenja i razumijevanja bratstva uopće. Potom se, na tragu tih promišljanja, tumači poslanje vjeroučitelja unutar i polazeći od kategorije bratstva. Pokazuje se kako školski vjeronauk može poučavati o bratstvu, kao i stvarati bratstvo. Na kraju se sasvim konkretno navode neka ostvarenja i inicijative po kojima se ostvaruje bratstvo vjeroučitelja u Splitsko-makarskoj nadbiskupiji.
Enhanced Branch Simulation to Improve RAPID in Optical Region Using RAMI Scenes
Authors: Huang Huaguo , Qi Jianbo , Li Linyuan
Published: March 2023

To improve the simulation accuracy of vegetation canopy reflectance in optical bands, the Radiosity Applicable to Porous IndiviDual objects (RAPID) model has been upgraded to better deal with branches in the latest RAPID4. Previous versions of RAPID (RAPID1 and RAPID3) neglected branches in porous objects in optical bands, while RAPID2 emphasized them in microwave bands. This inconsistency needed to be addressed to establish a unified radiosity-based simulation framework. By incorporating branches in RAPID4, we have improved several aspects of the model, including the random dynamic projection process, the equivalent reflectance or transmittance, the single scattering estimation, the multiple scattering solution, and the bidirectional reflectance factor (BRF) calculation. Three-dimensional trees from the fifth RAdiation transfer Model Intercomparison (RAMI-V) have been used to test the contribution of branches on BRF. Comparisons with a ray-tracing-based LESS model (the LargE-Scale remote sensing data and image Simulation framework) on RAMI-V scenes show a general agreement on BRF (

≥ 0.96 and root mean square error ranging from 0.014 to 0.054). The major biases occur in a realistic scene (i.e., HET51_WWO_TLS) created from terrestrial laser scanning data. Sensitivity analysis has been conducted to show the branch contribution on BRF in optical domain. Without considering dense branches, the BRF error can exceed 0.1.
The features of proliferative processes in the thyroid gland of the Wistar rat’s offspring after intrauterine action of dexamethasone
Authors: Fedosieieva O.V.
Published: March 2023

The features of proliferative processes in the thyroid gland of the Wistar rat’s offspring after intrauterine action of dexamethasone were studied. Animals were divided into 3 groups: I – intact rats; II – control – animals, which on the 18th day of the dated pregnancy transuterine, transdermal, subcutaneously in the interscapular area was injected with 0.9 % saline in the amount of 0.05 ml; III – experimental group – animals, which during laparotomy by intrauterine, transdermal subcutaneous injection in the interscapular area was injected with a solution of dexamethasone at a dose of 0.05 ml at a dilution of 1:40 intrauterinely on the 18th day of pregnancy (Ukrainian patent No.112288). In the experimental subgroups used the allowable, generally accepted number of animals for statistical processing and obtaining reliable results – 6 animals. The thyroid gland with the tracheal area was removed on the 21st, 30th, 45th, 60th, 90th, 120th days of life. Immunohistochemical study was performed according to the protocol recommended for a particular antibody manufacturer. Monoclonal antibodies ki-67 (Ki-67), Fox-1 Antibody (A-12) were used to assess proliferative activity, the company Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. (USA). The study found that the thyroid gland of rats of infantile period, which prenatally exposed to dexamethasone, is structurally represented by chaotically located follicles of different diameters with a predominance of large with desquamated cells in the lumen, and proliferative changes aimed at forming extrafollicular which is confirmed immunohistochemically by the presence of Ki-67-positive cells. Intracellularly, protein- synthesizing organelles of thyrocytes also proliferate, to which there is a clear cytoplasmic and nuclear reaction with Fox-1 antibodies. Dining the juvenile period, proliferative processes in the thyroid gland of animals of the experimental group are stabilized while maintaining the morphological structure of the hypofunctional type, and remain lower compared to the control and intact groups. Morphological signs of functional tension of the thyroid gland animals exposed prenatally to dexamethasone, which correlate with a decrease in proliferative activity, indicate a functional compensatory response of synthetic and hormone-producing function, but suppression of proliferative processes, despite the slight manifestations. The thyroid gland of morphological hypofunctional type after prenatal action of dexamethasone in young rats, indicates an adaptogenic compensatory response and morphofunctional immaturity of the organ during this period, which may be the basis for provoking the preservation of such morphogenetic factors under the influence of stressors.

Keywords: thyroid gland, proliferation, dexamethasone, experiment, rats.
Teaching storytelling in business communication: A descriptive survey of existing courses with ideas for course implementation
Authors: Lin Li
Published: March 2023

Storytelling is prominent in all aspects of business communication today. However, its pervasiveness and power also lends itself to being abused by businesses. Given that businesses want to tell better stories, and society wants such stories to be ethical, how do educational institutions negotiate these tensions? This paper answers these questions by conducting a descriptive survey of how storytelling and its ethics are incorporated in 44 undergraduate and graduate business communication courses from 29 universities. With only 10 courses including ethics, this research concludes that further steps should be taken to understand such resistance and provide future opportunities for incorporation.

Incivility in Hybrid Workplaces: Setting agenda for Future Research
Authors: Pandey Suruchi , Singh Mahima , Pandey Sanjay
Published: March 2023

Purpose - Remote working is a common practice adopted by Industries post covid. Hybrid working is predicted as the future of work. A continuously growing body pertaining to the research areas explored incivility, which is defined as the aspect of low-intensity deviant workplace behaviors and intent to harm colleagues. In this paper, researchers aim to (i) analysing components and connections with both the incivility and negative social effect for physical and virtual workplaces. (ii) investigate how incivility in the workplace impacts the person's personal and professional life in physical and virtual workplaces. (iii) suggest organizational measures that support or increase the incidence of employment by mitigating incivility at the workplace, physical and virtual.
Methodology - The study is done based on secondary research methodology as the existing literature is considered with the help of the internet and keywords, and relevant, accurate, and available information will be reviewed and mentioned in this paper.
Findings – Close to the past two decades, some of the theoretical and conceptual introduction about workplace instability has always been constructive, and all the research in this domain has taken off in various directions. Much research has been carried out on workplace incivility; however, in this paper’s discussion is directed toward incivility in remote working environments.
Novelty - The authors concluded that hybrid workplaces are more sensitive and prone to incivility at the workplace. Therefore, leaders must be sensitive towards dealing with such issues while working in hybrid work culture. There is hardly any study in this area, and the impact of incivility in hybrid will be the focus of researchers in the coming few years.
