Published: May 2024

The study investigated the effects of a 12-week functional and resistance training program on the perception of stress and sleep quality in Brazilian older people, involving 49 participants. The Perceived Stress in older adults and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used. The training protocol included a general warm-up, resistance and functional training sessions, followed by a cool-down phase, held twice a week, lasting an average of 60 minutes over the 12 weeks. Data analysis was performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, bootstrapping, t-tests and Pearson correlation, with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed a significant reduction in sleep disturbance and total sleep quality score after the intervention. Men initially had lower stress and better sleep quality in some aspects compared to women, while older people between 60 and 69 years old had improvements in sleep quality in certain aspects before and after the intervention, compared to older people aged 70 and over. Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between the perception of stress and several components of sleep quality, such as subjective quality, duration and total score. In short, the study demonstrated that the exercise program had varying impacts on sleep quality, but not on the perception of stress among the older people, highlighting a significant improvement in sleep quality after the intervention.

Du souci au pressentiment
Authors: Perbal Sébastien
Published: May 2024

En partant de l’herméneutique du Dasein, comme description du souci, tel qu’il constitue la structure existentiale de toute compréhension, nous montrons comment le pressentiment devient, chez le second Heidegger, la tonalité de fond susceptible de nous accorder à la Parole. Ce qui nous conduit au seuil d’une question qui doit pouvoir commencer à se poser, celle de savoir s’il est légitime, comme le fait Heidegger, de rabattre la langue biblique sur le logos aristotélicien.
Enterinės ir parenterinės mitybos ypatumai pacientams, besigydantiems reanimacijos ir intensyviosios terapijos skyriuose
Authors: Ema Abelkytė  , Laura Nedzinskienė
Published: May 2024

Straipsnio tikslas – apžvelgti naujausią mokslinę literatūrą apie kritinių pacientų mitybos ir priežiūros ypatumus, jos atitikimą tarptautinėms rekomendacijoms.
Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. Rengiant literatūros apžvalgą šaltinių ieškota duomenų bazėse PubMed, Clinical Key bei specializuotoje paieškos sistemoje Google Scholar. Apžvelgti 36 ne senesni nei 5 metų moksliniai straipsniai, jiems nagrinėti taikyta aprašomoji analizė.
Rezultatai ir išvados. Dėl hipermetabolinės būklės reanimacijos ir intensyviosios terapijos skyrių (RITS) pacientai per pirmą savaitę kasdien praranda iki 2 proc. kūno masės. Pasirūpinti adekvačiu ligonių maitinimu svarbu tam, kad būtų galima pagreitinti jų sveikimą, sumažinti nepageidaujamų komplikacijų atsiradimą bei mirštamumą. Remiantis tarptautinėmis rekomendacijomis, kritinių būklių pacientams dietą reikėtų pradėti taikyti per 48 valandas nuo patekimo į skyrių, o mitybos tikslus pasiekti palaipsniui. Energijos poreikiui apskaičiuoti tinkamiausias netiesioginės kalorimetrijos metodas. Hiperkalorinė ir izokalorinė dieta turi tam tikrų pranašumų, tačiau abiem režimais pacientų mirštamumas nesiskiria. Tiek padidinus, tiek sumažinus baltymų kiekį mityboje gali padidėti hospitalinių infekcijų bei mirštamumo rizika, tačiau esant skirtingoms mitybos rizikoms bei įvairaus sunkumo kritinėms būklėms abu taikomi principai gali būti naudingi. Parenteriniam maitinimui tikslinga naudoti mišraus tipo lipidų emulsijas, papildytas omega-3 bei omega-6 polinesočiosiomis riebalų rūgštimis. Derinant pacientų mitybą su fiziniu aktyvumu pasiekiami teigiami rezultatai, o aminorūgščių bei vitamino D papildai gali leisti tikėtis ligos regresijos bei geresnių išeičių. Kadangi RITS gydomų pacientų populiacija yra labai įvairi, skiriant maitinimą svarbu vadovautis klinikine patirtimi, individualizuotu požiūriu į pacientą bei taikyti moksliniais tyrimais paremtus principus.

Straipsnio tikslas – remiantis naujausiais mokslinės literatūros duomenimis apibendrinti vėjaraupių epidemiologinius ypatumus, duomenis apie infekcijos daromą žalą asmens bei visuomenės sveikatai, apžvelgti profilaktikos priemones, indikacijas ir kontraindikacijas vakcinacijai.
Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. Rengiant mokslinės literatūros apžvalgą publikacijų paieška anglų ir lietuvių kalbomis vykdyta duomenų bazėje PubMed ir specializuotoje informacijos paieškos sistemoje Google Scholar. Apžvelgti 32 straipsniai lietuvių ir anglų kalbomis pagal reikšminius žodžius. Šaltiniams nagrinėti taikyta aprašomoji analizė.
Rezultatai ir aptarimas. Vėjaraupiai yra labai užkrečiama ir endeminė liga visose pasaulio šalyse. Lietuvoje 2010–2022 m. registruota didėjanti sergamumo vėjaraupiais tendencija. Per COVID-19 pandemiją sergamumas vėjaraupiais buvo sumažėjęs, tačiau pastaraisiais metais registruojami vėjaraupių ligos atvejų skaičiai tampa panašūs į priešpandeminiais metais stebėtą sergamumą. Dažniausiai šia liga sergama gana lengvai ir galima gydytis namuose, tačiau nedidelei daliai pacientų vėjaraupiai gali sukelti sunkių komplikacijų, kai prireikia gydyti ligoninėje. Vėjaraupiai sukelia žalą ne tik asmens ar visuomenės sveikatai, bet ir visos šalies ekonomikai. Vakcinos nuo vėjaraupių yra saugi ir efektyvi profilaktikos priemonė. Nors Lietuvoje registruojama didėjanti skiepijimosi nuo vėjaraupių tendencija, tačiau procentinė pasiskiepijusiųjų dalis išlieka labai maža. Skiepijimas gali apsaugoti nuo ligos, jos sukeliamų komplikacijų – tai ypač svarbu rizikos grupėms priklausantiems asmenims.

Assessing Consumers’ Behavioral Intention and Willingness to Pay for Electric Vehicles: An Evidence from China
Authors: Irfan Muhammad
Published: May 2024

In an endeavor to reduce the severe environmental impacts of pollution and energy consumption, the Chinese government is strongly encouraging the use of electric vehicles. However, there is a paucity of research examining how much young Chinese buyers are prepared to spend on electric vehicles. In order to address this research gap, the current study expands on previously identified variables that affect consumer intentions. In addition, we expand the scientific basis of the theory of planned behavior by introducing three new variables: performance expectancy (PE), information overload (IO), and perceived risk (PR). The study analyzed survey responses from 498 young Chinese consumers and employed structural equation modeling to evaluate the formulated hypotheses. The results indicate that behavioral intention (BI) is positively and significantly influenced by perceived environmental knowledge and PE, but negatively impacted by IO. Additionally, subjective norms are found to be significantly and positively related to BI. The study also reveals that PR is strongly and favorably connected with BI. Moreover, willingness to pay (WTP) for electric vehicles has a positive relationship with BI. Overall, the research contributes to our understanding of ethical purchasing practices and provides essential research directions for both academicians and practitioners.

Effective treatment for fatty liver of liraglutide via inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress and apoptosis pathways
Authors: Li Juan , Xu Jiaxin , Zhu Fangfang , Wang Chun
Published: May 2024

Introduction

Fatty liver disease (FLD) is a frequent medical condition marked by hepatic adipose tissue accumulation. It may cause liver damage in certain cases. This study examined liraglutide’s inhibition of FLD and its molecular mechanism.

Material and methods

GSE63067 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was performed using the Limma package. Enrichment analysis was performed. The Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were fed a high-fat diet to develop FLD, then administered liraglutide. Serum lipid levels were tested by ELISA, and pathological sections were used for oil red O staining. In in vitro experiments, the hepatic cells were stimulated with free fatty acids (FFAs), liraglutide, and tunicamycin. Immunofluorescence double staining and western blot testing were carried out.

Results

Enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were enriched in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, oxidative stress, and apoptosis pathways. Liraglutide treatment reduced the expression of p-PERK and CHOP resulting from FFAs. Western blot assessment revealed that liraglutide treatment reduced the expression of GRP78, GRP94, p-PERK, p-IRE1, ATF6, and CHOP resulting from FFAs but not the expression of these proteins resulting from FFAs and tunicamycin. Flow cytometry revealed that liraglutide treatment reduced SD rat liver cell apoptosis resulting from FFAs. Liraglutide treatment decreased the expression of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-9, caspase-12, and Bax resulting from FFAs.

Conclusions

Liraglutide exerts a therapeutic effect in the context of FLD through its ability to suppress endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and inhibit apoptosis of hepatic cells.

Published: May 2024

This study aims to evaluate the application of the Think-Pair-Share model in improving students' communication skills at Pondok Pesantren Ashaabul Yamin. Although many schools apply this model, this study found some errors in its application in the school. One of them is that the teacher did not follow the correct sequence and did not have a significant impact on students' communication skills. The study used a qualitative descriptive method with the participation of 1 teacher and 31 students. Data was collected through observation with 11 activities that reflect the application of Think-Pair-Share to students' communication skills. The results showed that although the lesson plan described the application of Think-Pair-Share as a learning model, the teacher did not follow the plan. In addition, the teacher also did not adhere to the correct indicators, as seen from the observation data. However, at the sharing stage, the teacher succeeded in improving students' communication skills, especially when students shared the results of their group discussions in front of the class.

Published: May 2024

Ce chapitre passe en revue le rôle joué par les expériences dans l'avancement des connaissances sur la biodiversité et le fonctionnement des écosystèmes (BEF). Dans les expériences BFE, la caractéristique déterminante est qu'une certaine mesure de la diversité – richesse spécifique, diversité fonctionnelle, etc. – est manipulée en tant que variable fixe indépendante, et les variables de réponse liées au fonctionnement des écosystèmes sont mesurées en tant que variables aléatoires dépendantes.

Abstract. GNSS radio occultation (RO) observations play an increasingly important role in monitoring climate changes and numerical weather forecasts in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. The magnitudes of the RO bending angle are small at these altitudes, and therefore residual ionospheric error (RIE) is critical to retrieve vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and refractivity. The latter represent the state variables of the weather and climate models. RIEs remain poorly characterized in terms of the global geographical distribution and its variations with the local time and altitude influenced by the solar cycle and solar-geomagnetic disturbances. In this study we developed a new method to determine RIE from the RO excess phase measurement on a profile-by-profile basis. The method, called Φex-gradient method, is self-sufficient and based on the vertical derivative of the RO excess phase (Φex) profile, which can be applied to individual RO bending angle observations for RIE correction. In addition to the RIE in bending angle measurements, RIEs are found in the RO Φex measurements in the upper atmosphere where an exponential dependence is expected and in small-scale temperature variance of the RO retrieval. We found that the RIE values derived from the Φex-gradient method can be both positive and negative, which is fundamentally different from the k-method that produces only the positive RIE values. The new algorithm reveals a latitude-dependent diurnal variation with a larger daytime negative RIE (up to ~3 μrad) in the tropics and subtropics. Based on the observed RIE climatology, a local-time dependent RIE representation is used to evaluate its impacts on reanalysis data. We examined these impacts by comparing the data from the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) data assimilation (DA) system with and without the RIE. The RIF impact on GEOS DA temperature is mainly confined to the polar regions of stratosphere. Between 10 hPa and 1 hPa the temperature differences are ~1 K and exceed ~3–4 K in some cases. These results further highlight the need for RO RIE correction in the modern DA systems.

Abstract. This paper describes the aerosol in-situ laboratory at CIAO (CNR IMAA Atmospheric Observatory) in South Italy, outlining its configuration and detailing each instrument and sampling lines. The CIAO observatory has been collecting observations of atmospheric components since 2000. Initially the activities revolved around aerosol lidar, later radiosounding and cloud remote sensing observations were added over the years and made CIAO a leading atmospheric observatory in the Mediterranean region. In 2018, a significant upgrade started for enhancing the observational capability by adding aerosol in-situ instruments, with the objective to push new research boundaries for aerosol characterization and multi-instrumental synergistic approaches. Here, we describe each technical implementation step for building up an extensive aerosol in-situ laboratory compliant with ACTRIS (Aerosol Clouds and Trace gases Research InfraStructure) standard operating procedures. Starting from scratch, the long path initiated in 2018, with the design of the laboratory in terms of instruments, container organization, inlets and sampling lines optimizations, that required time and interactions with experts in the field. Reporting here all the details about the final solutions implemented at CIAO, this paper will be, for new aerosol in-situ laboratory, a practical guide for the implementation of the aerosol in-situ observational site.

Abstract. Greenhouse gases monitoring is important to ensure climate goals are being achieved. This study unveils the potential of using atmospheric tall towers in direct flux measurements, bridging the gap between atmospheric and ecosystem monitoring networks. The ICOS Cities (PAUL) project aims to monitor CO2 emissions in urban areas, where concentrated emissions make them key targets for climate change mitigation. This study explores synergy between ICOS atmospheric and ecosystem networks by utilizing slow-response analysers (~2 sec) on tall atmospheric towers for ecosystem studies using the Eddy Covariance method. A standard setup with an ultrasonic anemometer and an infrared (IR) fast-response CO2 analyser was installed and compared with measurements from an existing cavity ring down spectroscopy (CRDS) analyser measuring CO2, CO, and CH4. Deployed on the 100 m Saclay tower near Paris, covering a 43.9 km² 80 % footprint with heavy traffic roads, a nearby heating plant, and a forest, the setup addressed technical challenges and height-induced complexities. Corrections for flux attenuation by high frequency losses were limited to <20 % on average for all stabilities, around 11 % for unstable conditions. Wavelet-based eddy covariance allowed 18–34 % more data exploitation than standard EC enabling the analysis of non-stationary fluxes, particularly from a point source such was the case of a heating plant. The estimated storage term produced by atmospheric profiling measurements reported an expected increase at night, destocking during the first half of the day. Storage term represented at times more than half of the surface flux. Elevated mean fluxes for CO2 (10 μmolm−2s−1) and CH4 (200 nmolm−2s−1) were observed from the heating plant wind direction during December and January. Conversely, the forest direction exhibited the strongest sink among all wind directions, with −4 μmolm−2s−1 during July and August. These results demonstrate the feasibility and versatility of utilizing atmospheric towers for urban emission monitoring, offering valuable insights for emission monitoring strategies worldwide.
