Global change alters the stability of biological communities by
affecting species richness and how species covary through time (i.e.,
synchrony). There are few large-scale empirical tests of
stability-diversity-synchrony relationships and those mostly focus on
the terrestrial realm. Moreover, the effect of synchrony is largely
unknown when species only covary at either high or low extremes of
abundance (i.e., tail-dependent synchrony), a common phenomenon in
ecological communities. Here, we synthesized long-term community
time-series data (20+ years of species’ abundances/biomass for 2,668
communities across 7 taxonomic groups) from both terrestrial and
freshwater realms and explored how the relationships among richness,
synchrony, and stability vary across realms. We also investigated the
effect of tail-dependent synchrony on stability across 714 freshwater
and 1,954 terrestrial communities. For terrestrial communities, we found
a positive diversity-stability relationship and that the tail-dependent
synchrony was a more important determinant of stability than the
traditional measure of overall synchrony (i.e., based on the covariation
of all species). For freshwater communities, only overall synchrony
explained some variation in stability. Assessing tail-dependent
synchrony can improve our ability to understand why stability varies
across different ecosystems and thereby our inferences about the causes
of human-mediated biodiversity loss.
HIDDEN ENEMY OF PULMONARY ARTERIES: COVID-19
Authors: Duygu Ali , Küçük Uğur
Published: August 2023

Introduction: It has been reported that COVID-19 may cause
severe endothelial damage. Pulmonary Artery Stiffness (PAS) is a strong
predictor of right ventricular function. PAS can reveal important
information about the endothelial functions of the pulmonary bed. In
this study we aimed to elucidate the possible effect of COVID-19 on PAS.
Materials & Method: The study was performed by measuring PAS
values with transthoracic echocardiography in 130 patients, 60 of whom
had COVID-19 and 70 were controls. COVID-19 patients with positive
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results were included in the study
3-6 months after their positivity. Results: When the Maximal
frequency shift (MFS) (Hz) results were examined, no significant
difference was observed between the patient and control groups
(2764 ± 279.24 and 2664.8 ± 673.91 p=0.340, respectively). There
was a significant difference between the patient and control groups in
favor of the patient group in pulmonary acceleration time (PAT)
(msec) results (93.18 ± 14.99 and 126.1 ± 17.58,
respectively, p<0.001) . There was a significant difference
between the patient and control groups in favor of the patient group in
pulmonary artery stiffness (PAS) (Hz/msec) results (30.28 ±
5.07 and 21.57 ± 7.04, respectively, p<0.001).
Conclusion: It is possible that COVID19 may have adverse
effects on the pulmonary artery wall and bed. As a result of endothelial
damage due to COVID-19, an increase in PAS values can be observed.

Authors: Li Yuanyuan , Li Jingjing , Lu Yan , Ma Yonghua
Published: August 2023

The application of engineered nanomaterials has helped promote the
development of various biomedical fields in recent years. Zinc oxide
nanomaterials (ZnO NMts) have been widely used in many biomedical fields
and become one of the candidate materials for anticancer applications
due to their biocompatibility, unique physicochemical properties,
stability, and low-cost large-scale production. This article reviews the
advantages of ZnO NMts nanoplatform in cancer treatment, abnormal
apoptosis - the occurrence of cancer, the development of glioma, the
effects of ZnO NMts in vitro and in vitro tumor cell models, as well as
the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis and autophagy. It was found that
it was mainly related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by
oxidative stress, and the pro apoptotic proteins Bcl-2-related X protein
(BAX), Bcl-2 antagonist / killer (BAK) and p53 indirectly or directly
led to the increase of mitochondrial membrane permeability and
ultimately mitochondrial apoptosis. Hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)
involved HIF-1α-BNIP3-LC3B pathway mediates the mitophagy pathway. This
review also emphasizes that in clinical application, the synthesis
method of ZnO NMts, the consistency of evaluation parameters, and the
determination of biomarkers using standards and related tumors will be
the focus of targeted treatment of cancer.

Authors: Badr Dominique , Cannie Mieke Maria , KADJI Caroline , KANG Xin , Carlin Andrew , Jani Jacques C.
Published: August 2023

Objective: To assess the influence of the test-to-delivery
interval (TDI) on the performance of ultrasound (US) and magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting birthweight (BW).
Design: Secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study.
Setting: Belgium, 2016. Population: Women with
singleton pregnancy and live birth who underwent estimated fetal weight
(EFW) by US and MRI between 36 and 36
weeks of gestation (WG). Methods: The
study population was grouped into three groups: TDI<2 weeks
(group 1, n=313), TDI≥2 and <4 weeks (group 2, n=1440), and
TDI≥4 weeks (group 3, n=625). Main outcome measures The
correlation between EFW-US or EFW-MRI and BW as well as the performance
of both tests in predicting BW>95 ,
>90 , <10
, and <5 percentiles
according to TDI. Results: There was a strong positive
correlation between MRI-EFW and BW percentiles in group 1 (R=0.934
[95%CI: 0.918-0.947]), it dropped significantly but remained
strongly positive in groups 2 and 3 (p<0.001). In contrast,
the correlation between US-EFW and BW percentiles was highly positive
only in group 1, and significantly lower than that of MRI-EFW/BW
percentiles among the three groups (p<0.001). At the upper
extreme of BW percentiles, MRI had a higher sensitivity with higher
threshold of EFW percentile at a fixed false positive rate of 5%, in
comparison to US regardless of TDI. Conclusions: The
performance of MRI in the prediction of BW is maximal when the delivery
occurs within two weeks of the examination, declining slowly thereafter,
in contrast to the performance of US which decreases drastically over
time.
Increasing the value of thoracic surgery care pathways through the application of time-driven activity-based costing and activity-based costing
Authors: Nabelsi Véronique , Plouffe Véronique
Published: August 2023

Time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) and activity-based costing
(ABC) are methods used in the healthcare sector to assess the costs of
patient care pathways. These methods help identify opportunities for
optimizing and reducing activity times without compromising the quality
of care. TDABC is recommended in the value-based healthcare (VBHC) model
to assess the outcomes of care pathways in relation to their associated
costs. By focusing on the creation of value for patients, TDABC helps
identify the interventions and processes that provide the most value in
terms of clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. This enables
healthcare organizations to make informed decisions on improvements that
will maximize value for patients. We have chosen to use the TDABC and
ABC methods to calculate the costs of care pathways for thoracic surgery
patients in two healthcare establishments prior to and following the
implementation of a digital health solution. By using these methods, we
were able to calculate the costs associated with each stage of the
patients’ care pathway. This has given us a clearer picture of the costs
associated with each activity and a better understanding of the sources
of expenditure. The results show that implementing the digital health
solution and applying the principles of the VBHC model have provided
tangible benefits in terms of reviewing processes and the roles of the
various players involved, eliminating unnecessary or non-value-added
activities, automating administrative or repetitive tasks, and improving
coordination between the two healthcare establishments and between
healthcare professionals. These improvements have contributed to better
patient care.
Crustal Structure and Tectonic Evolution of the Southern Baltic Sea Interpreted from Seismic, Gravity and Magnetic Data

Published: August 2023

The Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone (TTZ) is the longest pre-Alpine tectonic
lineament in Europe. Its nature and structural evolution are
controversially debated. In this study, we show its structural evolution
beneath the southern Baltic Sea both on crustal and basin scale by using
three seismic reflection profiles combined with 2-D potential field
data. The results demonstrate that the southern Baltic Sea is underlain
by a thick crust of the East European Craton (EEC) with a Moho depth in
the range of 38-42 km. The overall crustal architecture is shaped by
three phases of localized crustal stretching in early Paleozoic,
Devonian-Carboniferous, and Permian-Mesozoic. The most spectacular
feature of the southern Baltic Sea are zones of thick-skinned
compressional deformation produced by Alpine inversion along the TTZ and
Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone (STZ). Both zones include a system of thrusts
and back thrusts penetrating the entire crust in an 80-90 km wide
inversion zone superimposed on the EEC crust and its sedimentary cover.
ENE-vergent thrusts are traced from the top of the Cretaceous down to
the Moho and they are accompanied by back thrusts of opposite vergence,
also reaching the Moho. Inversion tectonics resulted in the uplift of a
block of cratonic crust as a pop-up structure, bounded by thrusts and
back thrusts, and the displacement of the Moho within the STZ and TTZ.
The similar mechanism of intra-cratonic inversion was recognized for the
Dnieper-Donbas Basin in Ukraine, and it may be characteristic of rigid
cratons, where deformation is localized in a few preexisting zones of
weakness.
Curva de Amplitude-Distância para Ondas P de Período Curto e Correção de Estação para Magnitude Mb na América do Sul
Authors: Nelson J. L. , De Assumpção M. s.
Published: August 2023

Amplitudes de ondas P, de período curto de sismos rasos registrados por estações na faixa de distância epicentral de 0° - 100°, são analisadas para a determinação dos efeitos de estação, de fonte e de distância. 56 sismos foram utilizados, 12 dos quais com epicentros no território brasileiro. As correções de estações são estimadas com limites de confiança de 95%. Os resultados mostram que o padrão das isolinhas dos efeitos de estação difere do padrão para a América do Norte. Uma curva de amplitude-distância é determinada para intervalos de 5º de distância epicentral. Essa curva indica que os efeitos de distância entre 20° e 80° não são significativos, isto é, não há desvio significativo em relação a um efeito constante nessa faixa. A curva de amplitude-distância obtida é menos irregular que a de Gutenberg-Richter. Esse resultado concorda com estudos similares de outros autores.Short Period P-Wave Amplitude-Distance Curve and Station Correction For Mb Magnitude in South America Vertical short period P-waves amplitudes from shallow earthquakes recorded by stations in the epicentral distance range 0° - 100° are analysed to determine the station, source and distance effects. 56 earthquakes were used, 12 of which having epicenters in Brazilian territory. Station corrections are estimated with 95% confidence limits. The results show that the station effect isolines pattern is different from the pattern for North America. An amplitude-distance curve is derived for 5° distance intervals. This curve indicates that distance effects between 20 and 80° are not significant, i.eThere is no significant deviation from a constant effect in this range. The amplitude-distance curve obtained here is less irregular than the Gutenberg-Richter's curve. This result is in agreement with similar studies of other authors.
Superior-Subordinate Divergence in Controllability Judgments
Authors: Gay Jonathan , Jackson Scott B. , Waddoups Nate , Xiong Xiaomei
Published: August 2023

The controllability principle states that superiors should hold subordinates responsible only for outcomes and events that the subordinates can control. Although the principle is intuitively appealing, the extent to which this principle is applied can vary substantially in practice. Using four experiments, we predict and find evidence suggesting that the controllability judgments of superiors and subordinates can diverge even when the objective controllability of the outcome is held constant. Specifically, we find that subordinates' controllability judgments, relative to those of superiors, are consistently lower when performance outcomes are negative and sometimes higher when performance outcomes are positive. Further, we find that divergence in controllability judgments has important, negative implications for subordinates' perceptions of fairness and trust, intended effort, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions. Our results highlight several costs of implementing the controllability principle, which may help explain why the controllability principle is not universally adopted.

OBJECTIVE

Rather than during illness while diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is developing, we aimed to determine if levels of routine point-of-care capillary blood ketones could predict future DKA.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We examined previously collected data from placebo-assigned participants in an adjunct-to-insulin medication trial program that included measurement of fasted capillary blood ketone levels twice per week in a 2-month baseline period. The outcome was 6- to 12-month trial-adjudicated DKA.

RESULTS

DKA events occurred in 12 of 484 participants at a median of 105 (interquartile range 43, 199) days. Maximum ketone levels were higher in patient cases compared with in control patients (0.8 [0.6, 1.2] vs. 0.3 [0.2, 0.7] mmol/L; P = 0.002), with a nonparametric area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.77 (95% CI 0.66–0.88). Ketone levels ≥0.8 mmol/L had a sensitivity of 64%, a specificity of 78%, and positive and negative likelihood ratios of 2.9 and 0.5, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

This proof of concept that routine capillary ketone surveillance can identify individuals at high risk of future DKA implies a role for future technologies including continuous ketone monitoring.
A Review on Conventional and Advanced Water Treatments in Ibuprofen Removal
Authors: I Mihajlovic
Published: August 2023

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) represent a group of pharmaceutical compounds that are most frequently detected in the aqueous medium. Development of analytical equipment for the detection of organic compounds at low concentration levels, contributed to the detection of NSAIDs in drinking water as well. It is considered that the presence of this group of pharmaceutical components in drinking water is caused by soil washing and via effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Ibuprofen is one of the most frequently detected pharmaceutical components in influents of WWTPs. Although the concentration levels of various classes of pharmaceutical active components are low, their continuous intake can lead to harmful consequences for aquatic systems. Based on the conducted studies, ibuprofen is currently one of the most commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs worldwide. This paper presents an overview of the detection of ibuprofen in the aquatic media, conventional methods for the treatment of ibuprofen in water, as well as advanced oxidation processes for the treatment of water in order to eliminate ibuprofen.

Nutraceutical Horticulture : An overview of biochemical and molecular considerations
Authors: MohanKumar G N
Published: August 2023

The major components of our diet, namely, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals provide for the building blocks besides serving as metabolic fuel to fulfil the bioenergetic needs. Since they serve the basic cellular needs, they are considered as ‘primary metabolites’. The molecular and biochemical pathways modulated by the major food components of our diet are well-established. Many phytochemicals referred to as ‘secondary metabolites’ and not considered as an ‘essential part’ of our diet, also find their way into the digestive tract along with the major food components. Interest in the role played by the ‘non-essential’ or ‘minor’ components of our diet in preventing the initiation or progression of metabolic disorders has gained momentum. The metabolic disorders, by and large, are non-pathogenic in nature and originate as a consequence of derailed cellular metabolism.

Published: August 2023

Drugs remain for a short time on mucus membranes, such as oral, ocular, or nasal mucus, which are washed with physiological fluids. One of the possibilities to overcome this obstacle is the application of solutions that, due to the physiological environment or stimulus, turn into more viscous gels. These gels often also have mucoadhesive properties and the drug is released from them for a longer period. Carbomer 940 (C940), polycarbophil (PCP), and chitosan (CH) are gel-forming excipients, and the consistency of their solutions changes due to the concentration of protons (pH); therefore, they are referred to as pH-sensitive gelling agents. The aim of this study was to prepare pH-sensitive solutions that form gels in the pH of the oral cavity. We prepared water solutions with various concentrations of gel-forming excipients and evaluated the appearance, pH of the solution, injectability of the solution, and pH of gelation. By determining the pH of gelation, suitable concentrations (w/w) of the used polymers were found, namely, 0.1% C940, 0.225% PCP, and 2.5% CH with medium molecular weight (CHM). The 0.1% C940 and 0.225% PCP solutions were injectable through the syringe with the smallest 0.5 mm needle diameter. The 2.5% CHM solution was not injectable even through the syringe with the largest 0.8 mm needle diameter. Solgels prepared at the determined concentrations were evaluated by a dissolution test in a pH 6.8 phosphate buffer using methylene blue (MB) as a model substance. After 60 min of dissolution, 77.04% ± 5.94%, 48.85% ± 5.74%, and 77.35% ± 4.98% of MB were released from samples with C940, PCP, and CHM, respectively. The dissolution of the C940 and CHM samples took place according to the Korsmeyer–Peppas kinetic model (R2 0.999 ± 0.001, 0.978 ± 0.003) and of the PCP samples took place according to the first-order model (R2 0.994 ± 0.001). The 0.225% PCP pH-sensitive gel showed the most advantageous properties in terms of injectability, pH gelation, and prolonged release of MB.

ABSTRAKJumlah penderita Diabetes terus meningkat setiap tahunnya, salah satu penyebab terjadinya peningkatan jumlah penderita Diabetes adalah banyaknya orang yang enggan memeriksakan kadar gula darahnya ke fasilitas-fasilitas kesehatan seperti klinik, puskesmas ataupun rumah sakit. Alasan dibalik enggannya orang-orang untuk memeriksakan kadar gula darahnya adalah karena pada metode invasif yang umum digunakan pada pemeriksaan kadar gula darah, biaya pemeriksaannya relatif mahal khususnya untuk kalangan menengah ke bawah, selain itu metode tersebut juga memberikan efek ketakutan akan jarum suntik. Untuk mendukung tindakan preventif akan meningkatnya jumlah penderita diabetes, diperlukan sebuah alat yang mampu melakukan pengujian terhadap kadar gula darah secara non invasif. Metode urine-benedict merupakan salah satu metode non invasif yang cukup akurat dalam menguji kadar gula darah. Metode ini memanfaatkan perubahan warna pada larutan benedict yang telah dicampurkan dengan urin. Dengan menggunakan sensor TCS3200, pengujian kadar gula darah secara non invasif ini bisa dilakukan dengan lebih mudah dimana sensor akan mendeteksi warna pada spesimen lalu data hasil pengujian akan diolah oleh NodeMCU ESP8266 dan kemudian dikirimkan ke perangkat IoT yang bisa dimonitor melalui aplikasi berbasis web. Sensor TCS3200 yang digunakan pada pengujian ini mampu mendeteksi spektrum warna dari spesimen yang diuji dengan baik dengan akurasi 96%. Kata kunci : Alat uji gula darah, TCS3200, ESP8266, Internet of ThingsABSTRACTThe number of people with diabetes increases every year. One of the causes of the increase in the number of diabetics is the number of people reluctant to check their blood sugar levels at health facilities such as clinics, health centers, or hospitals. The invasive method uses a needle and blood sample to measure blood sugar. People are unwilling to check their blood sugar levels because they fear the relatively expensive cost of examinations, especially for the lower middle class, and fear needles. To support the prevention of the increasing number of people with diabetes, it needs a tool that can test blood sugar levels non-invasively.The urine-benedict method is one of the non-invasive methods that is quite accurate in testing blood sugar levels. This method utilizes discoloration in the benedict solution that has been mixed with urine. By using the TCS3200 sensor, this non-invasive blood sugar level testing can be done more easily where the sensor will detect color in the specimen and then the test result data will be processed by the NodeMCU ESP8266 and then sent to an IoT device that can be monitored through a web-based application. The TCS3200 sensor used in this test is able to detect the color spectrum of the tested specimen well with an accuracy of 96%.Keywords :  Blood sugar test, TCS3200, ESP8266, Internet of Things

Published: August 2023

VPN merupakan teknologi yang dapat membuat jaringan privat dengan memanfaatkan jaringan publik untuk mengamankan proses pertukaran data. Teknologi VPN biasanya digunakan untuk menghubungkan unit dan kantor cabang, yaitu dengan membangun terowongan antara dua lokasi. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan utama untuk mengimplementasikan jaringan VPN antara cabang dan kantor cabang dengan penambahan jaringan keamanan untuk melindungi data agar tidak terkomunikasikan. Hal ini juga yang peneliti lakukan dalam makalah ini dengan membandingkan protokol VPN PPTP (Point-To-Point Tunneling Protocol) dan L2TP/IPsec (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) menggunakan algoritma MPEE dan kunci enkripsi RSA RC4 128 untuk PPTP dan SHA -1 algoritma dengan AES 128 CBC, AES 128 CTR, enkripsi AES 128 GCM untuk protokol L2TP/IPsec. Setiap pengujian diberi beban lalu lintas unggah dan unduh sebesar 10MB, 20MB, dan 30MB. Hasil QoS (Quality of Service) yang meliputi throughput, packet loss, delay, dan jitter semuanya disajikan secara deskriptif dalam hasil penelitian ini. Kemudian dilakukan pengujian keamanan jaringan menggunakan Sniffing tanpa VPN, Sniffing PPTP, dan Sniffing L2TP. Pengujian keamanan jaringan menunjukkan bahwa data telah berhasil dienkripsi karena dalam pengujian keamanan ini Anda juga melihat aspek kerahasiaan apakah sudah terpenuhi atau belum. Kata Kunci: VPN; PPTP; L2TP/IPsec; Quality of Service; SecurityABSTRACTVPN is a technology that can create a private network by utilizing public network so that the data exchange process becomes secure. VPN technology is typically used to connect the unit and Branch offices, namely by constructing a tunnel between the two locations. This research has the main objective of implementing a VPN network between Branches and Branch offices with the addition of a security network to protect the data to be communicated. This is also what the researchers did in this paper by comparing the VPN protocols PPTP (Point-To-Point Tunnelling Protocol) and L2TP/IPsec (Layer Two Tunnelling Protocol) using the MPEE Algorithm and RSA RC4 encryption key 128 for PPTP and the SHA-1 Algorithm with AES 128 CBC, AES 128 CTR, AES 128 GCM encryption for L2TP/IPsec protocol. Each test is assigned upload and download traffic loads of 10MB, 20MB and 30MB. The QoS (Quality of Service) results including throughput, packet loss, delay, jitter all presented descriptively in the results of this study. Then the network security test is performed using Sniffing without VPN, PPTP Sniffing and L2TP Sniffing. The network security test shows that the data has been successfully encrypted because in this security test you also see the confidentiality aspect whether it has been met or not.
