The proliferation of genomic sequencing approaches has significantly
impacted the field of phylogenetics. Target capture approaches provide a
cost-effective, fast, and easily applied strategy for phylogenetic
inference of non-model organisms. However, many existing pipelines used
to create phylogenomic datasets from target capture data are incapable
of incorporating whole genome sequencing data into their workflows.
Here, we develop a highly efficient pipeline for capturing and de novo
assembly of the targeted regions using whole genome re-sequencing reads.
This new pipeline allows capturing targeted loci accurately and
efficiently, and given its unbiased nature, can easily be expanded to be
used with any other target capture probe set. We demonstrate the utility
of our approach by incorporating whole genome sequencing data into a
recently developed target capture probe set to reconstruct the
evolutionary history of the freshwater mussel family Margaritiferidae,
reconstructing supraspecific relationships outside the Unionidae family,
providing the first comprehensive multi-loci phylogeny of the
Margaritiferidae. We also provide a catalogue of well-curated functional
annotations of the targeted regions for the target capture probe set,
representing a complementary tool for scrutinizing phylogenetic
inferences while expanding future applications of the probe set.

Published: November 2022

Background and aim Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the commonest
hearing disorder prevalent. Borrelia burgdorferi is a spirochete whose
infection has been shown to result in SNHL. This systematic review aims
to investigate the prevalence and association of B. burgdorferi
infection in SNHL. Methods A systematic literature search on the
databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and UpToDate® was performed. Study
selection process was done in accordance with the PRISMA guideline. In
brief, studies were selected first by title and abstract screening
followed by a full-text inspection. The quality assessment of the
included studies was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute
Critical Appraisal tool. Data on study characteristics, patient
demographics, audiological, microbiological, symptomatological, and
therapeutical findings were extracted. Results The study search
retrieved a total of 8,772 studies and 9 of them met out eligibility
requirement. There were altogether 964 SNHL patients. 71 (7.3%) were
tested positive for B. burgdorferi infection. The commonest symptoms in
infected SNHL patients were tinnitus (53%) and vertigo (47%). Patients
treated with steroids along with ceftriaxone showed a higher hearing
recovery rate. Conclusion Borrelia burgdorferi infection is responsible
for a substantial proportion of sensorineural hearing loss and should be
investigated whenever no other reasons of hearing loss are established.
A synopsis of lycophytes in Manitoba, Canada: their status, distribution, abundance, and habitats
Authors: Staniforth Richard , Brunton Daniel
Published: November 2022

A steady increase in the number of lycophyte taxa discovered in Manitoba over the last 20 years prompted a determination of which species should be included in an updated provincial list. Collections made throughout the province since 2008 and a critical examination of over 1000 herbarium specimens enabled a substantive review and update of Manitoba’s lycophyte flora. It now comprises 22 taxa: 14 species and two hybrid clubmosses (Lycopodiaceae), three spikemosses (Selaginellaceae), and two species and one hybrid quillwort (Isoetaceae). Thirteen of the 21 species are designated to be of conservation concern, with NatureServe ranks of Critically Imperilled (S1; three), Imperilled (S2; two), or Vulnerable (S3; nine). Based on verified specimens, we describe the abundance and habitats, and summarize recent changes in nomenclature and systematics for all Manitoba lycophyte taxa.
Notes on the nomenclature, characteristics, status, and biology of Field Thesium, Thésium des Champs (Thesium ramosum Hayne; Thesiaceae/Santalaceae), a potentially serious invasive plant in Alberta
Authors: Macdonald Ian , Visser Suzanne
Published: November 2022

Field Thesium (Thesium ramosum Hayne; Thesiaceae/Santalaceae) is an alien species in Canada, previously misidentified as Thesium arvense Horvátovszky or Flaxleaf (Thesium linophyllon L.). It is a hemiparasitic herb characterized by its many 25–50 cm long aerial stems that grow indeterminately from a caudex. Its narrow leaves extend along each aerial stem from their base into the paniculate inflorescence. The flowers are white, 4–5 mm wide, with five corolla lobes; they are perfect and occur singly, subtended by a three-parted bract at the tip of a narrow pedicel, with 60–90 such flowers along each inflorescence. Its roots develop profuse haustoria that attach to host plant roots. Thesium ramosum is compared to the related native genera, Comandra and Geocaulon (placed in Comandraceae or Santalaceae), which share features but differ by having determinate growth and being unbranched. Thesium ramosum is widespread from western Europe to western China, but in North America it is known from only three western states and Alberta, where it has established in Fish Creek Provincial Park and elsewhere in Calgary. Worldwide, many species in the genus Thesium are notable invasives and T. ramosum has the potential to be a high risk invasive in North America. Observations in the park show that it can spread rapidly and parasitize many host species. It does not have federal or provincial control status in Canada, but because it is parasitic and has potential to become widespread, it is regulated in the USA by the United States Department of Agriculture.

Association Between Glycemic Status and the Risk of Kidney Cancer in Men and Women: A Nationwide Cohort Study
Authors: Park Joo-Hyun , Hong Jung Yong , Han Kyungdo , Shen Jay J.
Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVE

Kidney cancer predominantly affects men, suggesting a biological protection against kidney cancer in women. We investigated the dose-response association between glycemic status and kidney cancer risk in men and women.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In this nationwide cohort study, 9,492,331 adults without cancer who underwent national health screening in 2009 were followed up until 31 December 2018. We estimated kidney cancer risk using multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models after adjusting for potential confounders.

RESULTS

During the 78.1 million person-years of follow-up, incident kidney cancer occurred in 8,834 men and 3,547 women. The male-to-female ratio of the incidence rate was 2.1:1 in never-smokers with normoglycemia (17.8 vs. 8.5/100,000 person-years). Among never-smokers, men with diabetes, but not prediabetes, had an increased risk of kidney cancer (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.25 [95% CI 1.12–1.38] and 1.06 [0.97–1.15], respectively). Among never-smokers, women with both diabetes and prediabetes had an increased risk (aHR 1.34 [95% CI 1.21–1.49] and 1.19 [1.10–1.29], respectively) (Ptrend <0.01). Among smokers, men and women with diabetes had 49% and 85% increased kidney cancer risk (aHR 1.49 [95% CI 1.37–1.61] and 1.85 [1.26–2.73], respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

Glycemic status and kidney cancer risk exhibited a dose-response association in women. Diabetes, but not prediabetes, was associated with an increased risk in men. Although women have a lower risk of kidney cancer than men, women with even prediabetes have an increased risk. These findings should not be overlooked when monitoring for kidney complications.

Background- Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most prevalent metabolic disorder during pregnancy and is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in later life. Compromised cardiac energy production is an important contributor to most forms of heart disease. The changes in myocardial energetics in GDM have not been characterized previously.

Objective- We investigated if women with GDM in the third trimester of pregnancy exhibit adverse cardiac alterations in myocardial energetics, function or tissue characteristics.

Methods- Thirty-eight healthy pregnant (HP) women and thirty women with GDM were recruited. Participants underwent phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy and cardiovascular magnetic resonance for assessment of myocardial energetics (phosphocreatine to ATP ratio (PCr/ATP)), tissue characteristics, biventricular volumes and ejection fractions, left ventricular (LV) mass, global longitudinal shortening (GLS) and mitral in-flow E/A ratio. 

Results- Participants were matched for age, gestational age and ethnicity. The women with GDM had higher body-mass index (27±4 versus 33±5kg/m2; p=0.0001), systolic (115±11 versus 121±13mmHg; p=0.04) and diastolic (72±7 versus 76±9mmHg; p=0.04) blood pressure. There was no difference in NTproBNP concentrations between the groups. 

The women with GDM had lower myocardial PCr/ATP ratio (2.2±0.3 versus 1.9±0.4; p<0.0001), accompanied by lower LV end-diastolic volumes (76±12 versus 67±11mL/m2; p=0.002) and higher LV mass (90±13 versus 103±18g; p=0.001). While ventricular ejection fractions were similar, the GLS was reduced in women with GDM (-20±3 versus -18±3%; p=0.008). 

Conclusions- Despite no prior diagnosis of diabetes, women with obesity and GDM manifest impaired myocardial contractility and higher LV mass, associated with reductions in myocardial energetics in late pregnancy compared to lean women with healthy pregnancy. These findings may aid our understanding of the long-term cardiovascular risks associated with GDM.

Published: November 2022

With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, higher requirements are also placed on the fuel consumption rate of aircraft. Microgrooves can reduce the near-wall frictional resistance of aircraft to save fuel, which has become the focus of research in the aviation industry. To realize the low-cost and high-precision fabrication of microgrooves with drag reduction effect, an efficient and high-precision numerical simulation method for nanosecond pulsed laser etching TC4 titanium alloy is studied. A laser processing strategy is formulated. Furthermore, an efficient and high-precision computational fluid dynamics simulation method is studied to verify the drag reduction effect of microgrooves. The research results show that the size error of prepared microgrooves is less than 2%, and their drag reduction rate is as high as 9.6%, which verifies the validity and reliability of the research method in this paper. This work can guide the design of high-density functional microstructures and their high-efficiency and high-precision fabrication. The research results can provide technical parameters for aircraft drag reduction, which has essential engineering practical value.

National Renal Registry Malaysia has reported that the dialysis treatment demand among chronic kidney and end-stage kidney disease patients rises yearly. However, available haemodialysis (HD) units have limited facilities to meet the current and increasing demand. This leads to congestion, long waiting times, and an increase in the duration of treatment (DOT) among HD patients during their treatment sessions. Two essential factors in providing optimal treatment plans are outpatient scheduling and nurse assignment. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to minimise patients' total DOT, including the waiting time for pre-dialysis and post-dialysis sessions, which also includes determining the amount of patient flow in an HD unit. Regarding the first objective, we include simulated annealing (SA) into our simple heuristics (SH) in the patient scheduling optimisation model. Here, the initial solution obtained from the method can be improved. The backtracking heuristic (BH) is then applied to the nurse assignment problem, where at least two nurses are needed for each dialysis patient. The results show that the solutions obtained for outpatient scheduling by SA are efficient and have significantly reduced the computational time compared with the SH, even when considering more patients on the waiting list. As for total DOT, we obtain the optimum value compared to the average DOT values for both 3-hour and 4-hour sessions. Besides, a discrete-event simulation (DES) experiment of patient flow in an HD unit was performed by gradual variations in patient arrival rates, λ, to avoid congestion in the system. DES has the potential to accommodate emergency patients that seek HD treatment without causing much disruption to the system.

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the theme of political identity. This topic has recently become a center of attention and the strengthening of right-wing populism, for example, has succeeded in giving victory to several leaders such as Donald Trump, Josh Bolzonaro, and Duterte. Using the Scopus database from 2016 through 2021, concept mapping and clustering related to the theme of political identity will be seen. Data was collected through searching the Scopus database with the keyword political identity which resulted in 520 related articles. The data analysis focused on cluster analysis, dominant topics, related themes, and mapping of political identity study topics, based on the number of articles visualized and analyzed using VOSviewer and WordStat 8 software. This research shows that the study of political identity has four dominant keywords that often appear, namely: Political Identity, identity, Politics, and Political Ideology. This means that these four topics are the main focus of attention written by most authors. This shows that the topic of politics is very closely related to its use as a basis for one’s politics and will become a big challenge for democracy in the future.

Published: November 2022

This study used an analytical and critical descriptive qualitative technique. Data was acquired through observation, document analysis, and interviews. This research explores COVID 19 in the context of worldwide tertiary dance education, considering pandemics' influence on the social, political, and economic sectors. Coronavirus disease (COVID19) is now sweeping the world. This study discusses COVID 19 in the context of worldwide tertiary dance education and asks: How to sustain international contacts and global debate in dance education in the face of COVID19. What are the new opportunities for international involvement if we are physically immobile as before COVID19? And how can dance education be innovative in this era of online learning, teaching and research, and what does this mean for international tertiary dance education? We give three early experiences of a changing world, utilizing an auto-narrative manner of reflecting on our position and practice as dance instructors and academics of this century. In COVID19, problems such as innovation, motivation, cultural agenda, slow science, online instruction, and virtual and physical mobility will be recognized and explored. Coronavirus disease (COVID19) is now widespread over the world. The Covid-19 epidemic compels folks to study, work, worship, and undertake various duties at home, so everyone's biological immunity has deteriorated. Dance is a means of expression that choreographers can use to restore their immunity. This study aims to look at the choreographers' work made during the pandemic, emphasizing describing the dances created during the pandemic and other forms of expression used. According to the research, dance has become a medium of expression for choreographers during a pandemic. Although the Covid-19 pandemic initially strained East Java choreographers, it had a favorable effect, motivating choreographers to employ their originality in their work.

The Religious Singing and Its Influence in Supporting Of Vocals and Vocal Arts
Authors: Guo XiaoTong
Published: November 2022

One of the main issues raised over the years has been how religion feels about music. The relationship between religion and music as a promoting and not a corrupting art is one of the problems that warrants further research in this area. According to this article, phonic music can be a source for various services and be supported by religion in particular circumstances. The article discusses the musical elements of several religious texts, how religion affects the creative process, the human voice, and religious music.

In popular music, voices and vocal expression are extremely important. Voices are instantly connected to the body and different emotional states. However, learned cultural patterns of expression can also conventionalize and alter vocal expression; this is true for both music and daily speech. We know from day to day experience that singing might give us energy and, surprisingly, an actual exercise.Anecdotal suggestions that singing is good for your health and happiness are being backed up by a growing body of research. It has been demonstrated that singing causes a variety of physiological changes. Persistent singing practise uses the cardio respiratory system, which strengthens the respiratory muscles and improves breathing efficiency. The up rule of oxytocin, immunoglobulin A, and endorphins, which works on immunological capacity and raises impressions of joy, is only one of the progressions in synapses and chemicals that singing can achieve.In this essay, we examine the role that religious singing plays in promoting the vocal arts.

Authors: Taborda-Barraza Madeleing , De Azevedo Nagilla Huerb , Gleize Philippe Jean Paul , Prieto-Jimenez Natalia
Published: November 2022

A metakaolin-based geopolymer was fabricated with 5 ratios of two different nanomaterials. On the one hand, silicon carbide nanowhiskers and, on the other hand, titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Both were placed in water and received ultrasonic energy to be dispersed. The effects on mechanical properties and reaction kinetics were analyzed. Compared to the reference matrix, the results showed a tendency to increase the flexural strength. Probably due to the geometry of the SiC nanowhiskers and the pore refinement by the nano-TiO2 particles. The calorimetry curves showed that incorporating TiO2 nanoparticles resulted in a 92% reduction in total heat, while SiC nanowhiskers produced a 25% reduction in total heat.

Authors: Ramos-Ulate Carmen María , Pérez-Álvarez Sandra , Guerrero-Morales Sergio , Palacios-Monarrez Abdon
Published: November 2022

Alfalfa is considered the most used forage crop in the world, its main use is for cattle feeding, due to its high nutritional value, specifically in protein and digestible fiber. Currently, the trend in agriculture is to reduce the application of chemicals and among them are fertilizers that pollute soil and water, so the adoption of new technologies and other not so new is becoming a good habit among farmers. Nanotechnology in the plant system allows the development of new fertilizers to improve agricultural productivity and the release of mineral nutrients in nanoforms, which has a wide variety of benefits, including the timing and direct release of nutrients, as well as synchronizing or specifying the environmental response. Biofertilizers are important components of integrated nutrient management and play a key role in soil productivity and sustainability. While protecting the environment, they are a cost-effective, environmentally friendly and renewable source of plant nutrients to supplement chemical fertilizers in the sustainable agricultural system. Nanotechnology and biofertilization allow in a practical way the reduction in the application of chemicals, contributing to the sustainability of agriculture, so this work aims to review the relevant results on biofertilization, the use of nanotechnology and the evaluation of the nutritional composition of alfalfa when grown with the application of biofertilizers.
Socialisation into interprofessional teams: A mixed-methods study among early health professional learners who engaged in a teams and teamwork module / Sozialisierung in interprofessionellen Teams: Eine Mixed-Methods-Studie zum Effekt eines Team- und Teamwork-Moduls bei Auszubildenden im Gesundheitswesen

Published: November 2022

Introduction

Early health profession learners hold stereotypes about their own and other professions. Socialising students through interprofessional education (IPE) early in their training facilitates the development of their beliefs and values surrounding their professional and interprofessional identities. This study evaluates the effect of a 3-week, virtual IPE intervention in early health professional learners.

Methods

Students reflected on their functioning as an interprofessional team through discussion and written prompts which were coded by two faculty members for themes and trends. Exposure to developing an interprofessional identity and socialisation within an IPE team were measured through pre- and post-intervention surveys containing the Interprofessional Socialisation and Valuing Scale (ISVS).

Results

Students increased their positive attitudes towards IPE from pre- to post-intervention module as well as socialisation and readiness across all ISVS subscales: self-perception of working together, value, and comfort (all p < .001). Students reflected that ‘taking time to get to know each other’ (n = 23 teams; 42%) and ‘allowing everyone to contribute’ (= 17; 31%) were key factors for team development. Individual reflections on what students would work on the next time they worked in an interprofessional team revealed ‘communication’ as important (n = 87; 45%).

Discussion

Health profession students who engaged in the module reflected on how their interprofessional team functioned and identified what helped or hindered them to work as a team. The opportunities to reflect on how their own professional identity within the context of an interprofessional team led to evidence of socialising into an interprofessional team.

Introduction

Heat treatment is indispensable in fish canning to provide an acceptable shelf life. Its optimisation reduces the risk of the presence of Clostridium botulinum spores, which could potentially cause botulism cases. This study evaluated canned fish samples for botulism neurotoxin (BoNT)-producing clostridia contamination and can bulging through microbiological contaminant growth. A new analytical approach was developed for detection of such clostridia and phenotypically similar species.

Material and Methods

A total of 70 canned fish samples suspected of exhibiting bulging features were analysed. Culture methods were used to detect clostridia. The isolates obtained were evaluated on the basis of the exhibited phenotypic characteristics. Also, PCRs were used for the detection of genes determining BoNT production (non-toxic non-haemagglutinin (ntnh) genes) and the amplification of conservative 16S rDNA genes, which were Sanger sequenced. The obtained sequences were analysed using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool.

Results

Clostridium genus species were isolated from 17 (24%) bulging and organoleptically changed samples. No ntnh genes were present in these isolates; however, sequencing confirmed the presence of C. sporogenes, a species with close affinity to C. botulinum.

Conclusion

To eliminate the threat of foodborne botulism, laboratory diagnostic techniques must detect species of the Clostridium genus and elucidate their ability to produce BoNTs. Although Clostridium botulinum is the most common cause of botulism, the possibility may not be ignored that non-pathogenic Clostridium species may acquire botulinum toxigenicity. The similarity between the isolated strains of C. sporogenes and C. botulinum should be incorporated in the optimisation of heat treatment to guarantee a sterilised, microbiologically safe product.
The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Chicago: A Complicated Story of the Search for Lithuanian Identity
Authors: Petrulis Vaidas
Published: November 2022

The article examines the complicated history of the search for Lithuanian identity in the church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Chicago. After leaving their homeland in the aftermath of World War II, the Lithuanian community struggled to maintain its national identity under difficult conditions of emigration. The search for a Lithuanian architectural character became an important part of this political task. Based on a case study, a church near Chicago’s densely populated Marquette Park in Lithuania, the text analyzes the Lithuanian community’s debate about the cultural and political mission of Lithuanian architecture in exile, and the way to express it. Although the concept of the national style had already emerged at the beginning of the twentieth century, post-war technological progress and the unfamiliar context of emigration brings additional questions to the subject. The article argues that historical reminiscences in the church are more an ethical than an aesthetic choice. This approach embodies the specific cultural expectations of the community and is, at least partially, in line with the critique of modernism from regionalist point of view.
Early Cinema in Lithuania: The Emergence of a Cultural Tradition
Authors: Paškauskas Juozapas
Published: November 2022

Leaning on the notions of transnationalism of cinema or Cinema of Small States, this article sets out to evaluate early cinema in the Northwestern Krai of the late 1800s–early 1900s Russian Empire and the region’s largest city, Vilnius, thematically, rather than chronologically, through the layers of the formation of film culture and the transformation of cinema into an aesthetic object. Such an approach presents a culturally new possibility of finding commonalities, allowing one to see early cinema in the provinces not necessarily as an always-late phenomenon that highlights the provinciality of the provinces, but on the contrary, as part of the overall European film tradition. This is argued from several aspects. Firstly, by showing how the perception of cinema has changed (and how this change coincided with Western trends) from cinema of attractions to narrative cinema; and secondly, by identifying changes in the repertoire of cinemas and in the established preferences of the early cinema audiences.
Sustaining language learner well-being and flourishing: A mixed-methods study exploring advising in language learning and basic psychological need support
Authors: Shelton-Strong Scott J.
Published: November 2022

The present study takes a self-determination theory perspective (Ryan & Deci, 2017) to explore the connections linking advising in language learning and basic psychological need satisfaction, and ways participation in advising can enhance learner well-being and flourishing. This study addresses a gap in research into advising by focusing on its role as psychological support for the language learner. The study adopts a concurrent triangulation mixed-methods approach to explore the advising experience of 96 Japanese language learners using an adapted version of the basic psychological needs satisfaction and frustration questionnaire (BPNSF; Chen et al., 2015) alongside an interpretative analysis of learner self-reports. The quantitative results show advising perceived as need-supportive, while the qualitative analysis identified examples of autonomous functioning, personal growth, and caring relationships as antecedents of need satisfaction. Together the findings suggest advising has an important role in supporting language learners in ways that underpin flourishing and enhance learner well-being.
Acute embolic mesenteric ischemia treated by complex endovascular stent-based angioplasty

Published: November 2022

Acute mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening disease that can be managed by surgery or endovascular therapy. Endovascular therapy shows great efficacy and good clinical outcomes even in technically demanding interventions, and it can become an alternative to surgery. After the revascularisation of mesenteric arteries, we should take into account the risk of reperfusion injury with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and worse clinical outcomes. We present a case of acute embolic mesenteric ischemia associated with acute left external iliac artery occlusion due to poorly anticoagulated atrial fibrillation, treated by a complex multiple stent-based angioplasty.
Should Patients With COVID-19 Receive Post-Discharge Thromboprophylaxis? Short Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Authors: Pop Călin , Pop Marcel
Published: November 2022

Infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19 disease) is associated with increased levels of inflammation and hypercoagulability. The risk of thrombosis includes the venous thromboembolic events (VTE), both distal venous thrombosis (DVT) and acute pulmonary embolism (PE) during a hospital stay that is ongoing after discharge, although how long this persists is unknown. The most frequent initial and late thrombotic complication is PE, as part of VTE. The evidence we have suggests quite a similar incidence (≤2%) of post-discharge VTE to that seen in other acutely ill patients. The current guidelines advise against extended thromboprophylaxis for patients who do not have suspected or confirmed VTE or other indications for anticoagulation. However, the guidelines recommend a careful individual risk-benefit assessment of VTE and bleeding probability, to determine whether an individual patient may merit ongoing prophylactic anticoagulation. A score such as IMPROVE DD can help identify those with potential benefit. Low-dose direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and low molecular weight heparins (LMVHs) were predominantly used, but the optimal duration (at least 14 days and up to 42 days) and the type of extended thromboprophylaxis is still under discussion. Future studies are therefore needed to clarify the VTE and bleeding outcomes in COVID-19 patients after hospital discharge.
