Authors: Tian Min , Li Xiangmin , Zhou Fengjuan , Wang Yafei , Wang Qing , Pan Ning , Ji Hong
Published: February 2023

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation using bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells is a lifesaving treatment for patients with leukemia or other blood disorders. Hematopoietic stem cell donors are afraid of harming themselves by donating and are also under pressure from other relatives. Therefore, it is easy to produce negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, panic, depression and so on during the donation period. Although major physical complications of hematopoietic stem cell donors are uncommon, their psychosocial impact remains relatively unknown.
Methods：The authors undertook a Rapid Literature Review focusing on articles published from 2020 to 2022 thus offering the readers access to most up-to-date evidence concerning the topic. This article, therefore, adopts a narrative review methodology.
Results: A total of 7 articles were identified and scrutinized. Hematopoietic stem cell donors generally suffered from physical and mental discomfort. Factors influencing psychological experiences included donation stage, gender, kinship, and transplant results.
Main Contribution to Evidence-Based Practice: The purpose of this rapid literature review is to identify the most recent evidence and knowledge concerning psychological experiences of hematopoietic stem cell donors, in-depth analysis of the real psychological feelings of hematopoietic stem cell donors, in order to further improve the quality of nursing services, relieve the doubts of hematopoietic stem cell donors and mobilize the motivation of hematopoietic stem cell donors provides a reference.

Authors: Lozano Aveiga Jorge Andrés , Toro María Daniela , Mora Vera Roberto Carlos , Peña Cordero Byron Enrique
Published: February 2023

Introduction: the role of nuclear magnetic resonance in heart failure is much discussed in the etiologic and prognostic assessment of this disease. Therefore, a description of the usefulness of nuclear magnetic resonance would show its role in assessing prognosis in patients suffering from heart failure of diverse etiologies.
Objective: describe the use of nuclear magnetic resonance to assess prognosis in patients suffering from heart failure.
Methods: a narrative bibliographic review was done by searching databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Elsevier and Springer.
Results: cardiac magnetic resonance is superior to echocardiography to assess the volumes and the function of the left ventricle with better reproducibility, also when analyzing systolic anomalies and characterizing the viable myocardial tissue as well as the one with the presence of myocardial fibrosis. Precisely detecting myocardial fibrosis helps predict adverse occurrences in patients suffering from heart failure.
Conclusions: nuclear magnetic resonance helps identify a disease undetected in previous circumstances and nosological entities challenging to diagnose. So its use relates to better diagnostic performance and, therefore, to better predicting adverse effects in patients suffering from heart failure

Introduction: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease with a very heterogeneous clinical presentation mediated by both environmental and genetic factors with a predominance of females with a ratio of 9:1 compared to males, as well as by Afro-descendant, Asian and Asian ethnic groups. Hispanics; its pathogenesis is mediated by polymorphic variants of different genes that provide susceptibility to this disease and that have been related to different clinical characteristics, among the most notable are lupus nephritis, cardiovascular diseases, while its treatment is not established. Aim: to determine the genetic polymorphisms predisposing to the development of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Methodology: the PubMed search engine was used together with Boolean operators and descriptors in the English language. Results: sixteen genetic polymorphisms involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus were reviewed Conclusions: the polymorphisms explain the predisposition for the female sex as well as the development of more severe clinical manifestations, highlighting lupus nephritis in specific ethnic groups such as Afro-descendants
Towards net zero emissions by 2050: the role of renewable energy, technological innovations, and forests in New Zealand
Authors: Raihan Asif , Tuspekova Almagul
Published: February 2023

New Zealand has set a target of net zero emissions by 2050, and this study looks into the role that economic growth, renewable energy use, technological innovation, and forests could play in getting them there. The Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) technique was used to analyze time series data from 1990 to 2021. According to the results of the DOLS estimation, a one-percentage-point increase in economic growth is associated with a 0.24% increase in CO2 emissions. Furthermore, increasing the use of renewable energy by 1% is related with a reduction in CO2 emissions of 0.81 percent over the long run, as indicated by the coefficient of renewable energy use being negative and statistically significant. The calculated long-run coefficient of technical innovation is negative and statistically significant, suggesting that a 1% increase in technological innovation results in a 0.02% reduction in CO2 emissions. The long-run coefficient of forest area is notably negative and significant, which means that increasing forest area by 1% reduces CO2 emissions by 4.78%. The empirical results show that as New Zealand's economy grows, so do its CO2 emissions, but that the country may get closer to its goal of carbon neutrality through the growing use of renewable energy, technological innovation, and sustainable forest management. Alternative estimators, such as fully modified least squares (FMOLS) and canonical cointegrating regression (CCR), do not significantly affect the estimated results. In order for New Zealand to reach its goal of net zero emissions by 2050, this article offers policy ideas centered on a low-carbon economy, the promotion of the use of renewable energy sources, the financing of technical progress, and sustainable forest management.

Authors: Ahn Chae Ryeong , Jung Sumin , Kwon Seeun , Baek Seung Ho
Published: February 2023

Background: Cancer remains a major public health threat even though there have been breakthroughs in conventional diagnostics and therapies. Alternatively, treatment with mild hyperthermia and herbal medicine treatment [selected using traditional Korean medicine theory 4 qi (cold, cool, warm and hot) and using the 5 senses of taste (sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty)], may be an option to promote cancer cell death in patients where the cancer is accessible.Methods: To investigate effect of combination treatment of herbal medicines and hyperthermia in vitro on cancer cell lines (ACHN, AGS, A549 and U937), the qualities of 38 medicinal herbs and sensitivity to mild hyperthermia (42 and 43°C) treatment were examined. An assay was performed to detect cell viability and proliferation (MTT) following exposure to medicinal herbs and hyperthermia.Results: Heat sensitizing herbal medicines were determined to be larger in the warm and hot groups of medicinal herbs (29.6%) than the groups which were neither warm nor hot (18.2%). In addition, the proportion of heat sensitizing effect with bitter and pungent flavors was 33.3 % and 32.1 %, respectively, greater than the average (26.3 %).Conclusion: In conditions of mild hyperthermia in cancer cell lines, incubation with herbal medicines caused cancer cell death in vitro. These results suggest that the use of traditional herbal medicines with warm, hot, pungent and bitter characteristics may be a useful treatment for cancer using conditions to induce mild hyperthermia and this requires further investigation.

Published: February 2023

Aim:
To examine benefits of corticosteroids for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) by age and disease progression.
Methods:
Data from daily steroid users (placebo-treated) were pooled from four phase 2b/3 trials in DMD. Outcomes assessed overall and among subgroups included changes from baseline to 48 weeks in six-minute walk distance (6MWD), timed function tests and North Star Ambulatory Assessment total score.
Results:
Among 231 patients receiving deflazacort (n = 127) or prednisone (n = 104), observed differences in 6MWD favoring deflazacort over prednisone were significant for patients with relatively older age (≥8-years-old), greater disease progression (baseline timed stand from supine ≥5 s), or longer corticosteroid use (>3 years).
Conclusion:
Daily deflazacort had greater benefits than daily prednisone particularly among older/more progressed patients.
A Benign Mimic of Dangerous Neck Pathology: A Case Report of Longus Colli Calcific Tendonitis
Authors: Volino Alyse , Smith Stephanie
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Longus colli calcific tendonitis (LCCT) is a calcium deposition disease that causes acute or subacute atraumatic neck pain. It is important for the emergency physician to consider LCCT in the differential diagnosis because the clinical presentation of this benign condition may mimic life-threatening disease processes that require invasive diagnostic measures.

Case Report: We present a case of a 63-year-old female with atraumatic right-sided neck pain. On exam she had tenderness to palpation in the neck, as well as difficulty ranging her neck and opening her mouth. She underwent computed tomography of her neck with intravenous contrast, which showed calcific tendonitis of the longus colli muscle with retropharyngeal edema. She was seen by otolaryngology, underwent nasopharyngolaryngoscopy, and ultimately was discharged with antibiotics and corticosteroids.

Conclusion: The presentation of LCCT can mimic symptoms of dangerous causes of neck pain including retropharyngeal abscess and meningitis. Early diagnosis in the ED can potentially avoid more invasive diagnostic and therapeutic measures. While LCCT is thought to be self-limiting, it can be treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and corticosteroids. If pain is controlled, patients can be discharged from the ED with no specialist follow-up required.

Authors: Egbewande Oluwaseyi Muyiwa , Oladipo Habeebullah Jayeola , Olowolagba Shalom Aduragbemi , Iyiola Kemisola Hannah
Published: February 2023

Background: In recent times, telemedicine has received wide acceptance in global healthcare as a result of its tremendous potential in solving major healthcare concerns. However, despite the proven benefits of telemedicine and the growing applications in developed countries, Nigeria has failed to fully use this tool in the provision of healthcare in the country. Objectives: To examine the potentials of telemedicine as an alternative option for delivering quality healthcare services in Nigeria, the challenges hindering the utilization, and ways to overcome these challenges. Methods: Review of evidences was carried out on papers sourced from Google Scholar and PubMed databases. The key terms used for the search include "telemedicine", "information technology", "treatment", "Nigeria", "COVID-19", "virtual", and "health care". Papers were critically assessed for intellectual content, and those that did not meet the inclusion criteria or were extraneous to the study's focus were eliminated. A review of related evidence was conducted after data was extracted from selected papers. Results: Telemedicine has the potential to improve healthcare delivery, access, and efficiency. However, the underutilization of telemedicine in Nigeria has been identified to be as a result of some considerable factors which include the absence of a policy on virtual care, insufficient funding, high cost of maintaining virtual health care services, and technological and infrastructural constraints. Conclusions: As a result of the aforementioned, the imbalanced implementation of telemedicine systems in the provision of healthcare in Nigeria necessitates immediate stakeholder attention to establish supporting legislation and assure the availability of suitable infrastructure and services. Other research-based proposals include including virtual care training in school curricula and funding telemedicine research and development in the country.

Authors:   Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT), Department of CSE, Rourkela, 769015, Odisha, India, Sarangi Biswaranjan , Tripathy Biswajit
Published: February 2023

In wireless sensor networks (WSN), sensor nodes are expected to operate autonomously in a human inaccessible and the hostile environment for which the sensor nodes and communication links are therefore, prone to faults and potential malicious attacks. Sensor readings that differ significantly from the usual pattern of sensed data due to faults in sensor nodes, unreliable communication links, and physical and logical malicious attacks are considered as outliers. This paper presents an outlier detection technique based on deep learning namely, generative adversarial networks (GANs) with autoencoder neural network. The two-level architecture proposed for WSN makes the proposed technique robust. The simulation result indicates improvement in detection accuracy compared to existing state-of-the-art techniques applied for WSNs and increase of the network lifetime. Robustness of outlier detection algorithm with respect to channel fault and robustness concerning different types of distribution of faulty communication channel is analyzed.

Published: February 2023

Cloud computing refers to a sophisticated technology that deals with the manipulation of data in internet-based servers dynamically and efficiently. The utilization of the cloud computing has been rapidly increased because of its scalability, accessibility, and incredible flexibility. Dynamic usage and process sharing facilities require task scheduling which is a prominent issue and plays a significant role in developing an optimal cloud computing environment. Round robin is generally an efficient task scheduling algorithm that has a powerful impact on the performance of the cloud computing environment. This paper introduces a new approach for round robin based task scheduling algorithm which is suitable for cloud computing environment. The proposed algorithm determines time quantum dynamically based on the differences among three maximum burst time of tasks in the ready queue for each round. The concerning part of the proposed method is utilizing additive manner among the differences, and the burst times of the processes during determining the time quantum. The experimental results showed that the proposed approach has enhanced the performance of the round robin task scheduling algorithm in reducing average turn-around time, diminishing average waiting time, and minimizing number of contexts switching. Moreover, a comparative study has been conducted which showed that the proposed approach outperforms some of the similar existing round robin approaches. Finally, it can be concluded based on the experiment and comparative study that the proposed dynamic round robin scheduling algorithm is comparatively better, acceptable and optimal for cloud environment.
Rinodina gennarii Bagl., a new record of lichenized fungi for Antarctica
Authors: Halıcı Mehmet Gökhan , Yiğit Merve Kahraman
Published: February 2023

In a project aiming to determine the lichen biodiversity of James Ross Island which is located in the NE Antarctic Peninsula, 3 specimens growing on basaltic rocks were identified as Rinodina gennarii, a cosmopolite bipolar species which was never reported from Antarctica. This species is characteristic by having Dirinaria-type ascospores lacking a distinct torus and swelling around the septa in KOH. Detailed morphological and anatomical properties of this species along with photographs based on the Antarctic specimens are provided here. Our study and newly reported R. gennarii suggest that the lichen biodiversity of Antarctica is far from being fully known and detailed floristic and taxonomical revision studies should be carried to determine it.

Published: February 2023

In blended learning, students have the opportunity to choose either online or classroom lectures. For higher education institutions, blended learning has many advantages, such as accessibility to students and teachers, cost efficiency, alleviation of the teacher shortage, etc. But what does this mean for the students? The aim of the study is to find out students' further need for blended learning, its reasons and factors influencing it. An online survey was conducted to answer the research questions. The collected data was analyzed by using statistical analysis methods. The results of the survey revealed that the technical prerequisites for students to participate in blended learning were met. The biggest problems are related to the self-regulation skills of students. Problems with blended learning are stronger among first-year students. However, the respondents were rather positive about blended learning. Blended learning is most strongly supported by distance learning students who live far from university and are over 25 years old. The least supportive of blended learning are full-time students living near of the university and who are under the age of 25. This is due to the fact that full-time students experience blended learning problems on average more often than distance students because of the weaker learning skills. The results of the survey help to understand students' views on blended learning, to plan and conduct studies in a student-friendly way, and to plan trainings for teachers to improve the blended learning process.
Organising evidence-informed innovation: the development of a research agenda
Authors: Van den Beemt Antoine , Van de Watering Gerard , Bots Michael
Published: February 2023

Educational innovation often builds on existing practices, and focuses on improvement, rather than a radical change. One current example of educational innovation is Challenge-Based Learning (CBL). At university [blinded] the approach is a curriculum wide implementation of CBL based on a integrated programme that combines implementation of bottom-up innovation projects with research. The result of this research contributes to the translation of CBL to practice, thus helping curriculum designers and teachers in designing and executing their courses. In the process evidence is collected about principles of CBL, learning behaviour, learning outcomes, and didactical aspects of CBL, such as coaching and self-directed learning, assessment, pedagogies, and design of challenges, and facilitating structures. The goal of this paper is to explore the development of a research agenda, which aligns research and practice, and to contribute to evidence for successful CBL implementation as result. The CBL research agenda shows which topics and aspects of CBL are addressed by research and practice, and which are overlooked. It is a systematic way of collecting strategic and practical problems related to CBL implementation, and how these are translated into research questions, methods, and results. The CBL research agenda leads to dialogue, which in turn guides our CBL programme. This integrated programme, including the research agenda is governed by a Taskforce CBL and supported by programme management, and a university wide research community. This approach enables the curriculum wide implementation and research of CBL as a concept for educating engineers of the future and strengthening on-campus education.

Oral candidiasis could lead to low-intake condition due to swallowing difficulties. This case report aimed to present a patient with severe dehydration due to oral candidiasis that needs to be hospitalized.
Teaching Ethics in Political Action: Cultivating Engaged, Ethical Citizens by Examining Forms of Political Participation
Authors: Sessions Kristyn ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2023

Alongside fostering academic excellence in their students, many colleges and universities aspire to cultivate responsible citizens. In this article, I explore some challenges accompanying this task and offer my Ethics in Political Action course as one approach to support students’ development as ethically engaged citizens. I begin by outlining two obstacles which make pursuing this civic mission difficult, speaking both as a faculty member and Christian ethicist who works at the intersection of religion and politics. I then describe my Ethics in Political Action course, which examines various forms of political participation so that students can explore ethical issues embedded in U.S. political life as well as critically reflect on their own political activity. By weaving together civic education with the questions and insights of the Christian ethical tradition, this course equips students with the political knowledge and skills they need to engage effectively and ethically in the U.S. today.

Three decades of sustainable development: Emergence, domination, weaknesses and perspective
Authors: Vujić Marko
Published: February 2023

The paper is aimed to perceive critically the three-decade concept of sustainable development at several levels, and, accordingly, it is divided into three parts. The first one is dedicated to the specific features of the emergence of this concept in the initial period 1983-1992 and the first developmental period 1992-2000. A special emphasis is laid on the theoretical distinction and domination of the concept of sustainable development in relation to the then existing forms, such as ecological modernization. The second part of the paper continues the identification of the developmental stages within the scope of the Millennium Goals 2000-2015, with a central critical focus on the achieved results. The third part of the paper covers the current stage of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) envisaged for the period 2015-2030, and particularly points to the quantitative faults and inconsistencies in the methodology of evaluation, as well as measurement of the fulfilment of the goals themselves. The analytical apparatus points ty qualitative and quantitative methods to the chronically faulty set of instruments of sustainable development due to which the ecological component as the first among the equal is derogated to the level of the least importance, which is contrary to the founding principles of this concept.
Assessment of Abuses of Children with Disabilities in Japanese Nursery Schools by Municipality
Authors: Horiguchi Toshihiro , Takanashi Kenji , Sato Shoichi , Sone Naoki
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Many children with disabilities and latent characteristics are cared for in nursery schools (daycare centres). Paediatricians commissioned by nursery schools in our previous survey proved the occurrence of disabled children abused in schools. As the parents of the alleged victims were likely to contact the municipality, a survey of the municipalities managing childcare was requested.

Methods: The target group was local authorities' childcare service management departments (public authorities). Questionnaires were sent twice to 1,742 municipalities from late 2012 to the fiscal year (FY) 2014. Incidents were collected by inquiring about implementing preventive measures and reasonable accommodations.

Results: The number of municipalities that responded was 490 and 595, respectively, and 38 and 7 municipalities received complaints from parents that instructors had abused their children with disabilities. Based on the number of reports, the incidence of abuse in nursery schools in 2014 was estimated to be 0.0077% (95% CI: 0.0059–0.0094) and 0.0208% (0.0073–0.0344) for children with disabilities. In the 2014-2015 research periods, more teachers and staff were made aware of the consultation service as a preventive measure, and more emphasis was placed on the informed consent of parents as a reasonable accommodation. Regional characteristics, classified by the percentage of children, influenced the implementation of some measures.

Conclusion: The incidence in Japan was estimated to be lower than in other countries.
Applying a Mad Studies Framework to Opera: Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites
Authors: Simonot-Maiello Colette
Published: February 2023

Multiple readings of madness are examined in Poulenc’s opera Dialogues des Carmélites (1957) through the framework of mad studies. Several layers of madness can be found in this work: individual lived experiences of madness, the history of mental illness in France during and after the French Revolution, and the cultural metaphor of hysteria as social degeneration, as articulated by Micale. Close readings of two scenes with a discussion of their musical features are included: the first prioress’s death (act 1, scene 4) and the final scene at the guillotine (act 3, scene 4).
In Auditory Absentia: Music(ology), Modern Art, and Aesthetic Experience
Authors: Caddy Davinia
Published: February 2023

Inspired by recent interdisciplinary studies of music and the visual arts, this article is broadly based on the permeable boundaries between the two that are characteristic at thefin de siècle. I concentrate on scenes of music-making depicted on two painted canvases : Pierre Puvis de Chavannes’sLe Chant du berger(1891) and Henri Matisse’sLa Musique(1910). The principal aim is to suggest how these illustrations of music and musical performance, as well as critical responses to them, resonate with perspectives from some of the most prominent aesthetic and intellectual concerns of the day. An additional aim is to extend our understanding of live musical engagement, considering what it might mean to obstruct empathetic identification, deny the sensuous properties of sound, and negate aesthetic experience.
La musicologie par l’art radiophonique
Authors: Christoffel David
Published: February 2023

Alors que la présence de la musicologie sur les radios publiques s’est considérablement effondrée depuis une dizaine d’années, le recours à la création radiophonique pour renouveler les pratiques de médiation musicale a permis, dans le même temps, des résultats particulièrement prometteurs. En revenant sur des expériences menées dans les deux CNSMD (de Paris et de Lyon) et dans les ENS Ulm et Lyon pour l’émission indépendante Metaclassique d’une part et dans l’atelier de création radiophonique Le Labo (Radio-Télévision-Suisse) d’autre part, cette étude cherche à montrer comment la radio, mobilisée au-delà de ses réflexes journalistiques, peut être un medium privilégié pour développer un rapport sensible et autrement réflexif à l’exercice de la musicologie.
What Does Musicology Have to Do With Archiving? Three Experiences of Engagement
Authors: Bertolani Valentina , Nakai You , Santacesaria Luisa
Published: February 2023

Musical practices derived from post-1960s experimental music created heterogeneous musical materials and traces—including scores, preparations and instrument modifications, electronic instruments, custom-made devices, and recordings. The Romantic work concept on which most traditional musical archives are based is unsuitable to preserve this expanded apparatus of objects and concepts, and rethinking the musical archive is becoming urgent.

This colloquy collected the experiences of three researchers, engaging with five institutions, three creators, and four countries. Yet the archival issues presented are eerily similar. These experiences involve David Tudor (paper-based archive at the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles, CA, and the David Tudor Instrument Collection at Wesleyan University, Midtown, CT); Mario Bertoncini (paper-based archive at the archive of the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, and his object collection at the moment stored at the Fondazione Isabella Scelsi, Rome); Gayle Young (who still owns all her production).
À la recherche d’une approche gnoséologique du phénomène musical et de son histoire
Authors: d’Houtaud Pierre
Published: February 2023

Depuis l’apparition de l’enregistrement, la musique s’est enrichie d’une multitude de pratiques éclectiques inspirées par le développement de nos connaissances du phénomène musical. Avec la multiplication des transferts culturels et la reconstitution des pratiques musicales du passé, le mot même « musique », employé au singulier, paraît désormais bien étriqué pour appréhender l’ensemble des manières de penser le phénomène musical à travers le temps et l’espace.

Au sein de cette connaissance musicale protéiforme, la pensée esthétique semble avoir perdu ses lettres de noblesse et le relativisme culturel s’est imposé comme solution d’explication. Cet article cherche à reconstruire les fondements épistémologiques d’une manière de penser les phénomènes musicaux en les pensant comme processus multiples mais issus d’une appréhension unique du réel, un « rapport esthétique » avec ses théorisations et ses constructions historiographiques.

Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Traditional therapeutic approaches such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy have provided only a marginal improvement in the treatment of lung carcinomas. Inhibitors targeting specific genetic aberrations present in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common subtype (85%), have improved the prognostic outlook, but due to the complexity of the LC mutational spectrum, only a fraction of patients benefit from these targeted molecular therapies. More recently, the realization that the immune infiltrate surrounding solid tumors can foster tumor-promoting inflammation has led to the development and implementation of anticancer immunotherapies in the clinic. In NSCLC, one of the most abundant leukocyte infiltrates is macrophages. These highly plastic phagocytes, which are part of the cellular repertoire of the innate immunity, can have a pivotal role in early NSCLC establishment, malignant progression, and tumor invasion. Emerging macrophage-targeting therapies have been focused on the re-differentiation of the macrophages toward an antitumorigenic phenotype, depletion of tumor-promoting macrophage subtypes, or combination therapies combining traditional cytotoxic treatments with immunotherapeutic agents. The most extensively used models employed for the exploration of NSCLC biology and therapy have been 2D cell lines and murine models. However, studying cancer immunology requires appropriately complex models. 3D platforms, including organoid models, are quickly advancing powerful tools to study immune cell-epithelial cell interactions within the tumor microenvironment. Co-cultures of immune cells along with NSCLC organoids allow for an in vitro observation of the tumor microenvironment dynamics closely resembling in vivo settings. Ultimately, the implementation of 3D organoid technology into tumor microenvironment-modeling platforms might facilitate the exploration of macrophage-targeted therapies in NSCLC immunotherapeutic research, thus establishing a new frontier in NSCLC treatment.
Effects of temperature, salinity, and food availability on shell growth rates of the Yesso scallop
Authors: Silina Alla V.
Published: February 2023

Shell growth rates in relationship to seasonal changes of environmental factors were studied in a wild population of the Yesso scallop Mizuhopecten yessoensis inhabiting Amur Bay (Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan, Russia). It was found that food availability is not a limiting factor for the scallop growth in the study area. A phytoplankton biomass of 3.5–6.0 g m–3 provided high scallop growth rates. The largest daily shell increments were observed with a phytoplankton biomass of about 6 g m–3. With a decrease in the phytoplankton biomass to <2 g m–3, as well as with an increase to >11 g m–3, the daily shell increments reduced. It appeared that the main exogenous factors causing the seasonal variations in the scallop growth rates are the water temperature, which was too high in July and August (>18 °C) and too low in November–April (<4 °C), and the water salinity, which was too low (<30‰) for this stenohaline species in summer. The relationship of the daily shell increment in Yesso scallop with the water temperature can be described by a dome-shaped curve. The largest increments were observed at 8–16 °C. The dependence of the daily shell increments on the water salinity was also best described by a dome-shaped curve, showing the optimal range of 32.5–33.5‰. The revealed relationships, approximated by dome-shaped curves, evidently indicate that both insufficient and excessive effect of the factor negatively affects scallop growth. A suggestion was made to describe the result of the combined impact of several environmental factors on the daily shell increment as a multiplication of the functions of its dependence on each of the factors.

This study investigated the effect of the golden liquid from honeybees (natural honey) and refined granulated sugar on the blood glucose and serum iron levels of Wistar albino rats. The experimental animals used in this study were grouped into five treatments based on the dose of natural honey and refined granulated sugar administered namely: T1 (1.02 g of honey /kg BW), T2 (1.40g of honey /kg BW), T3 (1.02 g of refined granulated sugar /kg BW), T4 (1.40g of refined granulated sugar /kg BW) while rats in T5 not administered with honey and refined granulated sugar served as the control. The blood glucose concentration of the albino rats was measured using the glucose strips with glucometer while the serum iron analysis was conducted using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The result revealed that the mean blood glucose level of the rats was highest in T3 (112.95mg/dl), followed by T5 (92.20mg/dl) while the least value was recorded in T2 (74.86mg/dl).  There was significant difference in the blood glucose levels of albino rats orally administered natural honey and refined granulated sugar at varying levels (P<0.05). The result also showed that the mean blood glucose level of the albino rats was significantly different at week 2 and week 3 (P<0.05). The highest serum iron level was recorded in T5 (1.31ppm) followed by T2 (1.22± 0.115 ppm), while the least serum iron level was recorded in T1 (0.88ppm). However, there were no significant differences in the serum iron levels of the albino rats (p>0.05) among treatments. The use of natural honey is recommended since, albino rats orally administered honey at varying doses had lower blood glucose level than those given refined granulated sugar.
Effect of Coriolis Force on Modified Eyring Powell Fluid flow

Published: February 2023

Recently, it has been shown that under certain conditions, the Eyring-Powell fluid model can exhibit shearthickening properties without losing the known Newtonian or shear-thinning properties. The Eyring-Powell and Modified Eyring-Powell fluids have shown great potential in enhancing armour production and reducing the cost of maintenance for bullet proof vests. The Coriolis force, on the other hand, explains natural phenomena such as the direction of cyclones and the true direction of sun rays on earth. In this paper, the shear-thinning properties of the Eyring-Powell fluid is explored under the action of Coriolis force. The flow is modelled as a system of PDEs which are transformed into a system of ODEs by means of similarity variables. A numerical solution of the equations are sought using the Runge-Kutta scheme alongside the Shooting technique. The effects of the Eyring-Powell fluid parameter and Coriolis force are explored on the flow velocity and flow temperature and the results are illustrated as graphs. The outcomes show that temperature increases with increasing Coriolis force but flow velocity decreases as Coriolis force increases.
