The Mauritanian Slope (NE Atlantic) Has No Desert:Swiftia phaeton(Holaxonia: Plexauridae) Shaping Coral Gardens
Authors: Sampaio Íris , Beuck Lydia , M. Menezes Gui , Freiwald André
Published: December 2022

Swiftia Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864, is often found sparse in the NE Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. When the cruise MSM 16/3 “PHAETON” filmed the upper bathyal off Mauritania in 2010, the first dense populations dominated by Swiftia were discovered in the NE Atlantic Ocean, co-occurring with the framework-forming scleractinians Desmophyllum pertusum (Linnaeus, 1758) and Madrepora oculata Linnaeus, 1758. Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) video annotation from two canyons and two coral mounds considered Swiftia phaeton Sampaio, Beuck & Freiwald, 2022 presence, size class and abundance as well as substrate and geomorphology of the seafloor. Coral gardens definition included abundance and size of the species. Dense and very dense mono- and multispecific coral gardens dominated by S. phaeton were mapped between 20°24′N and 17°54′N in 470–640 m depth. The resilience of these coral gardens off Mauritania is mainly linked to the presence of hard substrate available to settle and to the exposition of currents rich in food. Still, these ecosystems are located inside a hydrocarbon exploration area off Mauritania and where fisheries occur since the 1960s. Sedimentation plumes caused by both activities can travel and impact on settlement, development, and survival of these populations. Hence, these vulnerable “oases” should be protected.

Authors: Erbiyik Hikmet
Published: December 2022

In this chapter maintenance concept is defined and maintenance types are classified with regard to implementing maintenance policies toward preventive maintenance. Especially achieving planned maintenance policies toward preventive (planned) maintenance and condition based maintenance policies toward predictive maintenance is taken into consideration primarily. Maintenance concept is defined and maintenance types are classified. Due care is given for ‘Preventive Maintenance’ in this chapter. In general ‘Maintenance’ term could be defined as; The integration of all possible technical and administrative actions, including planning, supervising, monitoring and controlling toward retaining an item, a system, a machine to restore their original functional state in which they can perform the intended functions. In addition maintenance, include protective and corrective actions to keep the plant operational system in intended conditions or to maintain the acceptable manufacturing conditions. Optimum maintenance policies aims to sustain system reliability and robustness within minimum cost. In line with the progress of industry, increase in the system, material and manpower costs, increasing demand for robustness and the complex structure of the machines increases also the importance of maintenance policies. Maintenance types could be divided into two main parts namely; 1. Preventive Maintenance, 2. Corrective Maintenance. Preventive Maintenance is also classified into following sub groups; 1.a- Planned Maintenance, 1.b- Predictive Maintenance, 1.c- Advanced Maintenance Implementations; 1.c.1 Reliability Centered Maintenance 1.c.2 Risk Based Maintenance. All of these maintenance types elaborated with relevant figures in the chapter. In this chapter Comparison of Planned and Unplanned (corrective) Maintenance (With regard to transaction and output) is defined with a table. Additionally, Comparison of Planned and Unplanned (corrective) Maintenance (With regard to infra structure) is also tabulated. ‘Benefits of Preventive & Predictive Maintenance’ and ‘Predictive Maintenance Methods’ are defined with relevant descriptive figures in the chapter. For Corrective Maintenance, basic definitions and corrective maintenance steps, types of corrective Maintenance, improvement strategies in corrective maintenance effectiveness are also given. In the final part of ‘Results and conclusions’ expected and verified benefits of implementing maintenance policies for planned and predictive maintenance are explained. Comparisons in some maintenance policies is given.
Understanding the Pathogenesis of the Major Human Filarial Nematode Infections
Authors: D. Mackenzie Charles , L. Mandara Wilfred , Mwakitalu Esther
Published: December 2022

Filarial infections are very common across the animal kingdom despite their tendency to be host specific. Although often being silent infections with relatively little clinical consequence, three filarial infections can cause significant morbidity: onchocerciasis (OV) (caused by Onchocerca volvulus) and lymphatic filariasis (LF) (caused by Wuchereria bancrofti or Brugia sp), and in the veterinary world, the common canine condition of dirofilariasis. Successful elimination programs for these have been developed in the endemic countries based on extensive chemotherapy distribution, and these have catalysed a much greater understanding of the treatment and epidemiology of these infections. In contrast, the pathogenesis and clinical presentation of the two human filarial diseases, and a third, loiasis—which can complicate chemotherapy distribution in OV and LF co-endemic areas—are still not well understood. This present discussion addresses recent knowledge concerning the pathogenesis and presentation of the two major human filariases and makes suggestions as to approaches that could be taken to better understand their pathobiology and clinical forms. Better understanding and improved monitoring of the clinical condition are both likely to augment the already successful progress to global elimination.
Protein Glycosylation in Bryophytes Differs Subtly from That in Vascular Plants
Authors: Stenitzer David , Altmann Friedrich
Published: December 2022

Glycosylation substantially contributes to the physicochemical properties of proteins, and hence also cell walls. Moreover, they are key factors for the recognition of free or cell-bound glycoproteins by internal and external interaction partners. Green plants get by with a highly conserved, limited number of modifications of the pan-eukaryotic basic N-glycan structure. In detail, these are fucosylation of the innermost N-acetylglucosamine residue in 3-position, which renders plant glycoproteins immunogenic to mammals; xylosylation of the branching mannose; frequent occurrence of small N-glycans terminating with mannose or decoration of the antennae with Lewis A determinants. Bryophytes share all these features, but some mosses additionally display two peculiarities not seen in vascular plants. Many mosses exhibit 2,6-di-O-methylated mannose on the 6-arm and some mosses contain modified Lewis A termini with an as yet unspecified methyl pentose. Neither the responsible enzymes nor the function of these novel glycan features is currently known. Targeted glycoengineering of the moss Physcomitrella patens (Hedw.) Bruch & Schimp can allow the production of biopharmaceutical glycoproteins that are difficult to express in more established systems.

Helicobacter pylori: A Bacterium Influencing and Causing Most of the Diseases in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract – An Overview with Respect to Pathogenesis and Treatment Based on Basic Physiology
Authors: L. Waldum Helge
Published: December 2022

The discovery that Helicobacter pylori was the dominating cause of gastritis is among the most important findings in the last century. It gave rise to the understanding and treatment of serious and common diseases, such as peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. The gastric hormone gastrin is involved in the pathogenesis of both duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer, whereas reduction in the defense mechanism (mucus and bicarbonate) by the inflammation itself predisposes to gastric ulcer. The search for carcinogenic H. pylori factors has been unsuccessful and based upon the fact that H. pylori predispose to gastric cancer only after having induced oxyntic atrophy is an important argument in favor of a central role of gastrin increase secondary to reduced acidity. The only cell with an undisputed gastrin receptor is the enterochromaffin-like cell where gastrin has a trophic effect leading to hyperplasia, neuroendocrine tumor (NET), and long-term carcinoma of diffuse type. H. pylori may be eradicated by a combination of antibiotics with a potent inhibitor of acid secretion. H. pylori is dependent on acid surrounding to thrive, and therefore anacidity due to complete oxyntic atrophy or profound inhibition of acid secretion by drugs will promote its disappearance.
Recent Advances in Voltammetric Sensing
Authors: Devnani Harsha , Sharma Chetna
Published: December 2022

The practical day to day life is largely affected by the products that we use, the air that we breathe, the soil that is used to grow crops, the water we drink and use for various household chores or industrial purposes. The purity analysis of these products or estimation of useful inorganic and organic analytes is of utmost importance for avoiding health and environment risk. Everyone wants to be aware that what they are eating or applying on their skin is safe for them. A diabetic patient needs to monitor their blood sugar levels constantly. The air, water and soil quality needs constant monitoring to avoid health hazards. Not just this, chemical analysis is crucial as a crime investigation technique to identify suspects. Fuel quality and storage needs to be tested for eliminating unwanted losses. The electrochemical techniques are inherently fast, selective and sensitive and some systems are portable as well which is a boon for on-site monitoring. Voltammetric techniques like cyclic voltammetry, stripping voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, amperometry and other techniques provide specific information of the analytes to be tested. This chapter will highlight the voltammetric techniques used for different types of analyte sensing and the advances that have taken place recently related to voltammetric sensing.
Recent Advances and Innovation in Meat with Reference to Processing Technologies
Authors: Khalid Waseem , Maqbool Zahra , Sajid Arshad Muhammad
Published: December 2022

This chapter discusses the recent advance in meat. Meat is usually a rich source of protein and is also composed of fats, vitamins, and minerals. The composition of these nutrients is different depending on the type of meat. Meat is basically divided into two categories: red and white. Due to high protein and fat content, the chances of oxidation are increased. The oxidation process causes meat spoilage. To protect the meat from spoilage, recent technologies and natural antioxidants are being used. Non-thermal processing techniques including gamma irradiation, e-beam irradiation, high-pressure processing, and pulsed electric field produce safe and quality meat because in recent technologies, conditions can be controlled. Conclusively, recent advances in meat and meat products play a role in improving product life and human health.

Authors: Asahi Toru , Tanaka Masahito , Nakagawa Kenta , Terasawa Yukana , Ishikawa Kazuhiko , Takanabe Akifumi , Koshima Hideko , Kahr Bart
Published: December 2022

Chiroptics is the study of the changes in circular polarization states of light transmitted through analytes typically dissolved in isotropic solutions. However, experimental challenges have long prevented chiroptical measurements of anisotropic media such as single crystals of low symmetry, liquid crystals, or structured films. The high accuracy universal polarimeter (HAUP) was introduced in 1983 to investigate the differential refraction of left and right circular polarization states, circular birefringence (CB), and even in anisotropic media that are dominated by the differential refraction of orthogonal linear polarization states, linear birefringence (LB). In this century, the HAUP was extended to also measure not only the dispersive optical effects (CB and LB) but also the corresponding dissipative effects, circular dichroism (CD) and linear dichroism (LD), differences in light absorption. The improved device is the generalized-HAUP (G-HAUP). Not only can it deliver all the linear optical properties of dissymmetric, anisotropic, and absorbing media, but it can also do so in the ultraviolet as well as the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. In this review, characteristic features of the G-HAUP and its applications to crystals of photomechanical salicylidenephenylethylamines, alanine, benzil, and magneto-optical CeF3 are described.
Breastfeeding Multiples
Authors: Ayton Jennifer , Hansen Emily
Published: December 2022

How do women experience breastfeeding multiples? Given the rising rate of multiple births and the global public health target of increasing the number of women exclusively breastfeeding up to the first 6 months, it is imperative that we understand why women who give birth to multiple babies breastfeed for shorter durations compared to those who have one baby. This chapter will explore the qualitative experiences of mothers who breastfeed twins/triplets and the social and physical capital women use to support multiple breastfeeding. Paying close attention to the mothers’ personal accounts this chapter will detail the many resources women draw on to meet the challenges of breastfeeding twins and triplets.
Visuele elemente in vertalende woordeboeke gerig op die grondslagfase teen die agtergrond van geletterdheidsontwikkeling
Authors: van der Merwe Michele F.
Published: December 2022

Visual Elements in Translative Dictionaries Aimed at the Foundation Phase against the Background of Literacy Development. Dictionaries used for teaching and learning in an educational setting undoubtedly have an educational purpose and function (if a dictionary function is understood according to the lexicographic theory of functions), whereby such an educational function is concerned with the active development of literacy skills. In the case of dictionaries for the foundation phase, target users have emergent literacy skills and developing reading skills, in particular. For this reason, lexicographers make use of a variety of lexicographic devices, for example visual elements, to render language support to the target user. Learners in the foundation phase form the target users of this category of dictionaries and the focus of the article is situated within the lexicographic theory of the user perspective, and the field of pedagogical lexicography. Concepts known in reading research, language acquisition and second language teaching come into play and are applied to visual elements in dictionaries. The use, value and types of illustrations in dictionaries are investigated by means of a literature study and then applied within the literacy context of the target user. Use of visual illustrations in accordance with the literacy needs of the target users forms the focus of the article. Keywords: cognitive-academic language proficiency, contextualisation, dictionaries, illustrations, language proficiency, literacy context, multilingualism, pedagogical lexicography, user perspective
Value of a 18F-FDG PET/CT Semi-quantitative Parameter (SUVmax) in Predicting the Survival of Patients with Esophageal Cancer Subtypes
Authors: Ebrat Balkhkanlou Hemmat , Doroudinia Abtin , Bakhshayesh Karam Mehrdad , Emami Habib
Published: December 2022

Background: Flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan is employed for initial staging and restaging of esophageal cancer patients. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the value of a semi-quantitative parameter of 18F-FDG PET/CT scan, that is, maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), to determine its correlation with patient survival in two subtypes of esophageal cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on patients with esophageal SCC and adenocarcinoma, undergoing 18F-FDG PET/CT scan for initial staging before any treatment. The 18F-FDG PET/CT semi-quantitative parameter (SUVmax) was determined by reviewing the PET/CT images. The patients were reevaluated using 18F-FDG PET/CT scan for restaging within 12 - 24 months. Results: No significant difference was observed in the SUVmax values of the primary tumor, metastatic lymph nodes, or distant metastasis between the adenocarcinoma and SCC groups, regardless of response to treatment. Similarly, no significant association was found between the short-term survival of patients with adenocarcinoma and the SUVmax values of the primary tumor, metastatic lymph nodes, or distant metastasis. Based on the survival curve, one- and two-year survival rates were estimated at 75% and 63.9% in patients with SCC and at 80% and 60% in patients with adenocarcinoma, respectively. In the SCC group, a significantly higher SUVmax was detected in deceased patients with distant metastatic lesions compared to cancer survivors. According to the area under the ROC curve, the SUVmax of metastatic lesions showed high potential for predicting the mortality of SCC patients. Conclusion: The assessment of SUVmax in distant metastatic lesions by 18F-FDG-PET/CT may help predict the survival of patients with esophageal SCC. However, 18F-FDG-PET/CT findings were not associated with the survival of esophageal adenocarcinoma; therefore, further evaluations on a larger sample size and a longer follow-up are required.

Background: In today's constantly changing world, educational organizations regularly renew their fundamental goals as a factor of development and transformation in society. Objectives: Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between organizational pathology and employees' organizational commitment. Methods: This descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020 among the headquarter employees at Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Iran. The data were collected using Meyer and Allen standard organizational pathology and organizational commitment questionnaires. In addition, R software version 4.0.3, Spearman or Pearson correlation statistical methods, and multiple linear regression coefficient analysis were utilized to analyze the data based on the research objectives. Results: A total of 101 participants were male and 125 were female. There was a statistically significant correlation between organizational pathology and organizational commitment. The organizational commitment increased by increasing pathology (r = 0.1640, P-value = 0.019). The transparency of goals and the organization mission significantly affected the normative scale. The normative scale decreased by 0.35 by increasing one unit of the scale in the transparency of goals and organization mission (B = -0.038, P-value = 0.038). There was a direct and significant relationship between organizational pathology and organizational commitment. Conclusions: According to the results, university administrators and policymakers are recommended to take measures to coordinate employees' interests and individual goals with the organization’s interests and goals. Managers can provide employees with a clear and concise vision by expressing short- and long-term goals and planning, allowing employees to know the value of their actions to achieve the goals.

Published: December 2022

Background: Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the etiological agent of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) without any specific antiviral. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the expression level of inflammatory chemokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines in ATLL patients, asymptomatic carriers (ACs), and healthy individuals to assess the role of these inflammatory markers in ATLL pathogenicity. Methods: This study was conducted from May 2021 to August 2022. The ATLL blood samples were collected from the oncology wards of Imam Khomeini, Shariati, and Imam Hossein hospitals, in Tehran, Iran. The blood samples of ACs and normal control subjects were collected from blood donors referred to blood transfusion centers of Tehran and Alborz provinces, Iran. RNA extraction, complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis, and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were done in targeted sample groups to investigate the correlation and expression rate of C-C motif chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3), C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 (CCL4), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), interleukin 23 subunit alpha (IL-23A), and interleukin 17 A (IL-17A). Results: A total of 30 samples were collected from 3 groups. The CCL3, CCL4, CXCL8, and IL-17A messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels were significantly upregulated in the ATLL groups. There was a significant difference between CCL3 expression between the ACs and ATLL groups. In addition, CCL4 and CXCL8 expression levels were more significant in the ATLL group than in the normal control group. The IL-17A expression level significantly increased between groups. The IL-23A expression levels had no significant differences between the ATLL, ACs, and normal control groups. Conclusions: This study showed significant upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines mRNAs in HTLV-1–associated ATLL compared to the ACs and normal control groups. Conducting more experiments to investigate the therapeutic effect of chemokines/cytokines in ATLL is essential.

Authors: Sadeqpour Ali , Joulaei Hassan , Keshani Parisa , Izadi Bahare
Published: December 2022

Background: Deficiencies of micronutrients increase the risk of various infections in HIV-infected patients. Zinc deficiency in HIV-infected patients may be associated with decreased CD4 cell counts. Objectives: In this regard, the present study investigated the association between serum zinc levels, macro/micronutrient intake, and CD4 counts in HIV patients. Methods: The research population of this study included 194 adult HIV patients aged 18 to 70 years referred to Shiraz Behavioral Diseases Center, Shiraz, Iran. The CD4 cell counts were extracted from patients’ records. Serum zinc level was measured using atomic absorption method. Univariate and multivariate comparison of macro/micronutrient and food items with CD4 cells was performed using linear regression and SPSS20, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Fifty-seven percent were male, and the mean age and SD of total participants was 43.76 ± 9.06 years. The association between serum zinc levels and CD4 serum count is close to the significance level (P = 0.05), but the dietary zinc intake was not significantly correlated with serum CD4 counts (P = 0.26). Vegetable intake (P < 0.001) and fruits (P = 0.01) as well as absorption of vitamin A (P = 0.002), vitamin C (P < 0.001), beta-carotene (P = 0.002), folate (P = 0.05), and fiber (P = 0.01) from diet showed a direct and significant association with serum CD4 levels in HIV patients. Consumption of hydrogenated oils (P = 0.04) showed a significant inverse association with serum CD4 levels in these patients. Conclusions: Evaluation of serum micro/macronutrients can play an essential role in the development of appropriate dietary and supplement guidelines provided by the healthcare system for HIV-infected patients, and it can influence the decision- and policy-making regarding the control of non-pharmacological management of these patients.
