Effect of SDS Micelles on Actinomycin D – DNA Complexes
Authors: Toader Ana Maria , Dascalu Izabella , Enache Mirela
Published: September 2022

DNA thermal denaturation was evaluated as a measure of the effect of antitumor drug actinomycin D on the stability of the double helix and also the effect of SDS micelles on actinomycin D – DNA complexes. The results indicated that the melting temperature of DNA was dependent on drug concentration, increasing with actinomycin D concentration. High thermal stabilization (about 10 °C) of the DNA helix after the association with actinomycin D clearly demonstrates the intercalative binding mode. The presence of SDS micelles leads to the release of intercalated actinomcyin D molecules from DNA double helix and their further relocation in surfactant micelles. These results highlighted that the drug release can be controlled in time and by varying the concentration and nature of surfactant.

Authors: Danjolli-Hashani Dua , Selen-Işbilir Şebnem
Published: September 2022

In this study, polyphenols from olive leaves (Domat var.) were compared by shaking water bath and ultrasound-assisted extraction to compare the polyphenol contents and antioxidant activity in olive leaves. The effects of the extraction time on the antioxidant activity of olive leaves will be analyzed depending not only on the extraction method but also on the extraction time, due to the extraction yield, antioxidant activity, as well as the type of polyphenols recovered. Objective: To obtain high antioxidant results and to determine the phenolic compounds contained in olive leaf (Domat var.) by LC-MS/MS after ultrasonic water bath and shaking water bath extraction comparison in a shorter time instead of 2 h. Conclusions: The phenolic compounds contained in olive leaf by ultrasound-assisted extraction were higher than water bath extraction. We said that there is no significant difference between the extraction time and TPC and TFC. There was also no relationship between extraction time and DPPH and ABTS EC50 values (p < 0.05), which means that 15 min of sonication can be performed instead of 120 min.
PARENTING AND SELF CRITICISM AMONG OFFSPRING: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW v1
Authors: Shahzadi Mafia
Published: September 2022

Background:Self-criticism is the drill of negative self-appraisal and a tendency in which the individual reacts critically towards the self and points out one's own beliefs, actions, and thoughts that make them more dysfunctional. Researches supported that parenting is one of the perspectives which make an individual self-critical. Parents as primary caregivers significantly influence children's lifestyles. Such as humble, well-being, distress, and self-criticism. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the relationship between parenting and self-criticism. Methods:Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, Science Direct, PsycINFO, PubMed, and OvidSP databases were searched that consisting literature published around 2003 to 2019. The researcher explored the data between June to September 2021. Result:Atotal of 40 articles were identified from electronic databases. Based on abstracts and titles, ten papers were excluded from this review. Furthermore, 25 articles were excluded after assessing full text for not meeting inclusion criteria, and we included 11 relevant articles. Conclusion:It is concluded that almost all studies revealed a strong relationship between parenting and self-criticism. Parenting affects the level of self-criticism as well as parental rejection is a more significant factor in intense Self-criticism. Keywords:

Published: September 2022

Nutrient accumulation during the formation of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) trees can be affected by the water regime and by the cultivar, but the details are not yet known for this species. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutrient uptake of two star fruit cultivars in the formation phase under two irrigation regimes. The experiment was developed with a completely randomized design, with subdivided plots, with two irrigation levels (with and without irrigation) as plots, and two star fruit cultivars as subplots ('B-10' and 'Golden Star') and seven collection times from 0 to 720 days after transplanting (DAT) into the field as sub-subplots with six replicates. Nutrient uptake was evaluated in stem and leaves, and it was possible to observe that nutrient uptake and the average accumulation rate followed the dry matter mass accumulation of star fruit trees in formation. Nutrient uptake by shoots at 720 DAT differed for the Golden Star cultivar in the rainfed regime and for the B-10 cultivar in both irrigation regimes. There was no difference and followed the sequence Ca > K > N > Mg > S > P > Mn > Fe > Zn > B > Cu, and for Golden Star cultivar in the irrigated regime, the accumulation sequence was Ca> K> N> Mg> Mn> P> S> Fe> Zn > B> Cu. The highest accumulation occurred in the irrigated regime regardless of cultivar. Golden Star cultivar accumulated, on average, larger amounts of N, P, K, Mg, S, Fe and Mn.

Published: September 2022

A new classification of limb‑girdle muscular dystrophy, which was adopted in 2018, is given. The reasons why there was a need to revise the classification are indicated. A new definition of this pathology is given. The diseases that were excluded from the new classification of limb‑girdle muscular dystrophy due to inconsistency with the new definition of this form of pathology are given. A comparison of the new and old classification of this group of muscular dystrophies is given. The genes responsible for the development of various forms of this pathology are indicated, as well as proteins of striated musculature, the synthesis of which is disrupted. It has been shown that a mutation in one gene can lead to different types of inheritance of limb‑girdle muscular dystrophy, which is important to take into account when conducting prenatal diagnostics. The new classification will allow introducing new forms of this pathology as new mutations in disease genes are detected.

Exploring the Link Between Cashless Society and Cybercrime in Indonesia
Authors: Mauladi Kemal Farouq , Jaya I Made Laut Mertha , Esquivias Miguel Angel
Published: September 2022

This study examines whether the rise in cybercrime activity in Indonesia is associated with the perceived benefits, convenience, and risk of a cashless society. In doing so, we apply Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to a total sample of 200 Indonesian respondents who have been victims of cyber fraud. The results indicate that the high cybercrime rate, including phishing, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), and social engineering, is positively associated with the perceived benefits and risks of transacting online. The rise in cases of DDoS can particularly be linked to consumers’ increasing perceptions of convenience in undertaking cashless transactions. The findings suggest that more stringent cyber law enforcement needs to be implemented. Digital technologies will continue to improve, and more consumers will do transactions digitally. With increasing volumes of cashless transactions, the risk of cyber attacks will likely increase. Stakeholders need to strengthen data privacy and provide a secure environment for customers. International cooperation should be promoted through the establishment of virtual world law as economic activities and cybercrime risks now become borderless.
Policy Misperceptions, Information, and the Demand for Redistributive Tax Reform: Experimental evidence from Latin America
Authors: Ardanaz Martín , Hübscher Evelyne , Keefer Philip , Sattler Thomas
Published: September 2022

Scholars have long struggled to understand why individual preferences for redistribution often diverge widely from their material self-interest. The puzzle is acute in Latin America, largely democratic and yet one of the most unequal regions in the world. Using an original online survey experiment spanning 8 countries and 12,000 respondents across Latin America, we find significant evidence for an under-explored explanation: misconceptions regarding the distributional effects of current tax policy. Treated respondents who are informed that an increase in the value-added tax (VAT) is regressive are significantly more likely to prefer policy reforms that make the tax more progressive. We are further able to identify mechanisms. A large fraction of respondents underestimate the regressivity of the VAT. Their misperceptions are linked to fundamental views about the world: these respondents are disproportionately right-leaning and more likely to attribute success to individual effort than luck. Despite the deep-rooted nature of their misperceptions, treatment effects are largest among individuals who believe the VAT is not regressive. These findings contribute both to understanding the political economy of redistribution and the potential for information interventions to shift support for fiscal adjustment policies protecting the most vulnerable.

The purpose of this study was to examine two models of the economic feasibility of producing nanoparticle of dysprosium-doped cobalt ferrites by sol-gel auto-combustion method, from a laboratory scale to an industrial scale, including technical analysis and economic evaluation. Various economic evaluation parameters were analyzed to report the fabrication potential of dysprosium-doped cobalt ferrites nanoparticles in the case of the time required for a speculation to recover its total initial expenditure (PBP), the conditions of a generating project in the production function in years (CNPV), undertaking profits, etc. The results of the economic feasibility study on the production of dysprosium-doped cobalt ferrites nanoparticles showed that all parameter changes gave positive values, demonstrating that this project might have been practical to run commercially and on a large scale. Technical analysis to produce 26.4 tons of dysprosium-doped cobalt ferrites nanoparticles per year reveals that investment will be gainful then afterward more than three years. This project emulates PBP capital market guidelines due to the crisp return on investment. Estimates range from ideal to worst-case states in production to ensure project feasibility, including labor, sales, crude materials, utilities, external factors, and taxes.

Published: September 2022

Composite materials with a unique set of physical and mechanical properties, are wide used in aerospace branch. Since conventional methods for detecting defects are not always sufficiently productive and sensitive, the actual task is to develop methods and control products from composite materials. It is advisable to use the methods of vibroacoustic diagnostics, which allows not only to detect defects, but also to recognize them. To eliminate the drift performance of the measuring system and increasing its sensitivity is expedient to combine the functions of the radiation source and the receiver in a single element using laser avtodyne systems based on semiconductor laser.. The use of higher spectral harmonics autodyne signal allows to determine the distance to the object and the amplitude of movements and vibrations.

Published: September 2022

The condensation reaction between aminoguanidine bicarbonate with carboxylic acids led to the formation of 3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-amine (mta), 3-methyl-1H-1,2,4l4-triazole-5-amine acetate (Hmta) and 3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-amine (pta). The compound N-(3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-yl)propan-2-imine (mpta) was obtained by reacting the mta with acetone, upon an attempt of purifying mta in this solvent. The excess of acetic acid obtained the Hmta during the preparation of mta. These compounds were characterised by infrared and multinuclear NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy, microanalysis, and melting point. To investigate the formation of possible tautomeric conformations of mta, pta and mpta in solution, a theoretical approach was used to calculate the chemical shifts of carbon 13, based on the values of magnetic shielding tensor (NMR) by MPn and DFT methods. The biological assay of the triazoles mta, pta and mpta against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium showed no activity at the highest concentration used in the experiment.

Authors: Maharani Tiara , Nurtjahjaningtyas Indra , Wicaksono Luthfi Amri
Published: September 2022

In some cases, basement wall work still often occurs as a construction failure with a variety of causes. One of them is a basement construction project for an apartment and mall in Grand Dharmahusada Lagoon. The first plan of the basement wall didn’t strong enough to resist a lateral movement of the soil. The previous studies have been carried out by redesigning the retaining wall using a diaphragm wall and ground anchor as a support system. The results are obtained that the use of diaphragm walls can decrease the value of displacement that occurs on the wall. However, previous studies have only conducted a review of the diaphragm wall thickness. This study adds several numbers of anchors as research variables to find effective and efficient combinations. This study compares the effect of diaphragm wall dimensions with a different number of anchors on the deformation value and safety factor. Based on the results of the study, a wall thickness of 1.75 m with a depth of 33 m using 3 anchors a deformation occurred are 3.63 m while using 4 anchors a deformation occurred are 2.37 m. The difference in deformation is 1.26 m. Because the value of deformation was still large, it carried out a re-design for the anchor position, and diaphragm wall dimension with the same number of anchors, and the deformation results were reduced to 15.81 cm with a safety factor of 1.3.

ABSTRAK

Pada beberapa kasus, pekerjaan dinding basement masih sering mengalami kegagalan konstruksi dengan berbagai macam penyebab. Salah satu diantaranya pada proyek pekerjaan dinding basement apartemen dan mall Grand Dharmahusada Lagoon. Dinding basement yang direncanakan diawal ternyata tidak cukup kuat untuk menahan pergerakan lateral tanah. Telah dilakukan pada penelitian sebelumnya dengan merencanakan ulang dinding penahan tanah menggunakan dinding diafragma dan sistem penunjang angkur tanah. Kemudian didapatkan hasil yaitu penggunaan dinding diafragma mampu memperkecil displacement yang terjadi pada dinding. Namun penelitian sebelumnya hanya melakukan tinjauan pada ketebalan dinding diafragma. Penelitian ini menambahkan jumlah angkur sebagai variabel penelitian untuk mencari kombinasi yang efektif dan efisien. Penelitian ini membandingkan pengaruh penggunaan dimensi dinding diafragma dengan jumlah angkur yang berbeda terhadap nilai deformasi dan faktor keamanan. Berdasarkan hasil analisa menggunakan PLAXIS V8.6, pada ketebalan dinding 1,75 m dengan kedalaman 33 m menggunakan 3 angkur terjadi deformasi sebesar 3,63 m sedangkan dengan penggunaan 4 angkur terjadi deformasi 2,37 m. Selisih deformasi yang terjadi sebesar 1,26 m. Direncanakan ulang untuk penempatan angkur, dimensi dinding pada jumlah angkur yang sama maka didapatkan hasil deformasi berkurang hingga 15,81 cm dengan faktor keamanan 1,3.
Dividend is a substitute or an outcome of Auditor Monitoring? Another Evidence
Authors: Younas Zahid Irshad
Published: September 2022

This study investigates the association between auditors monitoring and dividend payout policy. The previous literature illustrate that there are two ways to mitigate the agency concern; One is through dividend payments while other way of mitigating agency concern is to improve auditors monitoring, which reduces the information asymmetry between insiders and outsiders due to which the managers are forced to pay the dividends. The first way of mitigating the agency concern is called substitution model while the second way is called outcome model. In order to assess which of the model of mitigating agency concern is prevailing in Pakistan, study used the data of 140 listed firms from 2005 to 2010 and observed that there is a positive and significant association between auditor monitoring and dividend payouts. These results are indication of presence of outcome model. Moreover, these results are consistent with prior studies.
Some Aspects Of Socio-Economic Development In North Eastern Region Of India: Does It Go In Right Path?
Authors: Mandal R K
Published: September 2022

This study deals with the study of the diversification of developmental activities in northeast states of India. Economic development scholars and third world analysts have effectively argued through the use of economic data and statistics that high rates of population growth are economically unsustainable. The problem lies in a very simple calculation. The resources of a country, whether the land area and the infrastructural services, such as water and electricity, not even to mention nutrition and health care requirements, are established at a certain level and raising that level, as in expanding services and raising food production, are long term. Almost all the countries in the world will have imbalances at regional and lower level in the equitable share in the national assets like natural resources, economic assets and manpower distribution. In order to reduce regional or sub-regional imbalances, planners and policy makers make efforts and evolve the strategies which are aimed at minimizing such imbalances. The past one and half decade has witnessed a tremendous upward swing in various development programmes giving a new thrust to the North-east economy. The study seeks to search that does the recent speedy developmental activities in North East Region undergo in right way?

Published: September 2022

The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) concept has provided the framework to assess how early life experiences can shape health and disease throughout the life course. While maternal malnutrition has been proposed as a risk factor for the developmental programming of prostate cancer (PCa), the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we found an association between deregulation of steroidogenesis and impairment of the ventral prostate (VP) growth in young offspring rats exposed to maternal low protein diet (LPD) during gestation and lactation. Reanalysis of RNA-seq data demonstrated that miR-206 was upregulated in the VP of young maternally malnourished offspring. Target prediction and in vitro studies identified Plasminogen (PLG) as a direct target of miR-206. To give further insights into the participation of the miR-206-PLG network in prostate carcinogenesis in the progeny submitted to maternal LPD. RT-qPCR analysis revealed deregulation of the miR-206-PLG network in the VP of older rats that developed prostate carcinoma in situ. Furthermore, mimic studies revealed a negative correlation between miR-206 and estrogen receptor α (ESR1) expression in PNT2 cells. Together, we demonstrate that early life estrogenization associated with deregulation of miR-206-networks can contribute to the developmental origins of PCa in maternally malnourished offspring. Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which early life malnutrition affects offspring health can encourage the adoption of a governmental policy for the prevention of non-communicable chronic diseases related to the DOHaD concept.

Published: September 2022

An obligately anaerobic, rod-shaped, Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile bacterial strain; designated as CtC72T was isolated from the rumen of cattle. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of less than 98.65% revealed the strain as a member of the genus Actinomyces, nearest to but distinct from Actinomyces qiguomingii DSM 106201T, Actinomyces ruminicola DSM 27982T, Actinomyces procaprae JCM 33484T, Actinomyces succiniciruminis TISTR 2317, Actinomyces glycerinitolerans TISTR 2318. The low values of digital DNA-DNA hybridization (< 70%) and average nucleotide identity (< 95%) further highlighted the distinctive nature of strain CtC72T from its closest relatives. The strain CtC72T could grow at temperatures between 30–50°C (optimum 40°C), pH between 6.0–9.0 (optimum 7.5-8.0), and NaCl between 0-1.5% (optimum 0%). The strain hydrolysed cellulose and xylan and utilised a range of mono-, di-, and oligo-saccharides as a source of carbon and energy. Glucose fermentation resulted in acetic acid and formic acid as major metabolic products, while propionic acid, lactic acid, and ethanol as minor products along with CO2 production. The DNA G + C content of strain CtC72T was 68.40 (mol%, wet lab), and 68.05 (%, digital). Major cellular fatty acids (> 10%) were C16:0, C18:1 ω9c, and C18:1 ω9c DMA. Based on this data, we propose that strain CtC72T be classified as a novel species, Actinomyces ruminis sp. nov., under the genus Actinomyces. The type strain is CtC72T (= KCTC 15726T = JCM 32641T = MCC 3500T).

Background: Equine piroplasmosis is a tick-borne disease affecting equids caused by protozoa belonging to two genus named Theileria and Babesia, causing losses in the horse industry and constraint to the international movement. In endemic areas, clinical diagnosis is difficult because signs are not pathognomonic. Identifying the associated risks factors and the most suitable laboratory analyses are required to prevent the disease, confirm the diagnosis and assess therapy.
Methods: A total of 438 horse and donkey samples were collected by practitioners during their clinical activities. The anamnestic information were collected by a standardized form. The samples were screened for piroplasmosis and other infectious diseases in differential diagnosis and haemato-biochemical parameters, and thus assigned to three groups: confirmed cases of T. equi, unconfirmed suspects and controls. Statistical analysis was performed to detect differences among groups regarding anamnestic data and haemato-biochemical parameters.
Results: Among anamnestic variables, only age (> 6 years) increases the probability of infection compared to the controls, while ectoparasitic treatments seem to have a protective effect. A decrease in platelet count was the only haemato-biochemical parameter associated with T. equi infection.
Conclusions: This study confirms the diagnosis of T. equi infection as an issue, for similarities regarding anamnesis and laboratory findings with other diseases. Moreover, it focuses the attention on prevention measures and good management practices that can reduce the spread of the disease, together with regular laboratory checks, useful to early detect the parasite and assess and monitor the therapy.

This study aimed to determine whether donor vessel development after combined revascularization surgery for moyamoya disease (MMD) was related to cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 11 adults (12 hemispheres) and 13 children (19 hemispheres) who underwent combined revascularization in our department. The total vessel cross-sectional area (TVA) was the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the superficial temporal, middle meningeal, and deep temporal arteries imaged using time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography. The ipsilateral relative CBF (RCBF) on the brain surface in the craniotomy area was calculated using single-photon emission computed tomography. The preoperative and postoperative ratios of the TVA and RCBF were defined as ΔTVA and ΔRCBF, respectively. Finally, we investigated the correlation between ΔTVA and ΔRCBF in adults and children. TVA and RCBF increased significantly after surgery regardless of the age group. The adult group had significantly higher ΔRCBF values than did the pediatric group (p < 0.01, r = −0.44). However, ΔTVA was not significantly correlated with ΔRCBF in either group. Thus, the increase in CBF was not correlated with changes in the measurable total donor vessel area. The findings suggest that postoperative development of major bypass vessels does not necessarily result in increased CBF.

Silico Manganese (SiMn) slag is a by-product of ferromanganese and silicomanganese alloy production. The large quantities of these slags have caused several challenges in disposing of them without polluting our environment. This study aims to review the physicochemical characteristics and the recycling applications of SiMn slag as construction materials. In continuation to this, a systematic review is conducted. Twenty articles were shortlisted and later assessed in terms of their physicochemical characteristics and the reutilization benefits of SiMn slag as construction materials. It is found from the literature that SiMn slag from five countries possesses similar chemical compositions such as SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MnO, MgO, FeO+Fe2O3, and K2O+Na2O at similar quantities. Two types of slags have been identified, which are air-cooled and water-quenched SiMn slag that exhibit different physical characteristics for reutilization. Recently, studies have successfully processed SiMn slag into brick, binder/cement, paste, mortar, concrete, backfill materials, and manganese extracts. The consideration of using SiMn slag as a recycled construction material falls on cooling methods, moisture, fineness (particle size), equipment, energy, and cost. Research investigated that there are also four steps to improve the reutilization of SiMn, namely (i) incoming waste, (ii) pre-treatment, (iii) physical/chemical treatment, and (iv) products. The investigation further offers various implications and suggestions for further studies such as developing industry-scale recycling applications, environmentally friendly landfilling methods for SiMn slag, and the practicality and feasibility of SiMn-slag-based products in real projects.

Ayankulam is the trending one recently during the 2021 monsoon of India. Despite a large supply of water from the Nambiar canal for five days, the village's fabled well was unable to fill. When the district collector and IIT team came, they assessed the community and noted that the wells' geological makeup was classified as a karst formation (as per e-news sited in The New Indian Express dated 03/12/2021). There might be some sinking stream that might link this well. Karst topography of calcarenite rocks is the reason for groundwater movement beneath the subsurface for not filling the well. One of the most crucial elements of nature's water supplies is groundwater. Groundwater has to be explored more thoroughly since demand for it rises as the population grows. To determine the existence of usable groundwater for irrigation purposes in the study area Geophysical (Azimuthal square array method and Magnetotelluric method) and Geochemical investigations were done. The Azimuthal Square array method covers 360º coverage of subsurface resulting in fracture orientation of rock to determine the weak/strong zones in different rock types. The Magnetotelluric method scans the subsurface rock and provides information about Geological formation, Weak zone where water oozes out, depth and movement of groundwater. Water samples were collected in and around the “Sinking Stream” origin well and its associated open and tube wells from the study area. The combination of Square Array, MT, Water quality, and quantity study focuses on the Trapped Aquifer system of sinking streams in all water bodies and wells. The movement of groundwater seems to be increasing in Seashore areas such as Uvari and Karikovil are identified relating its water samples from deep bore wells quality and sinking stream water quality. The heavy rainfall and hydrostatic pressure of predominant rock on eroded Calcarenite lime formation create water “Dry fall out” resulting in Sinking streams in the Ayankulam area.
Premotor Function in Interpersonal Bimanual Coordination: Neural Responses to Varying Frequencies and Spatio-Temporal Relationships
Authors: Li Yanan , Niu Ruoyu , Liu Lei , Liu Ying
Published: September 2022

Background: Interpersonal movement coordination is an important aspect of daily life. Behavioral studies have found that rhythmic bimanual coordination of movement is mainly influenced by two factors, spatio-temporal relationship and frequency of movements. How these factors affect action coordination at the neural level needs further exploration.
Methods: Participants were asked to perform symmetric or alternating hand movements under conditions of different spatio-temporal relationships (symmetric, alternating) and frequencies. A multi-channel, continuous wave, functional near-infrared spectral (fNIRS) imaging instrument was used to monitor hemodynamic activity while 16 pairs of volunteers performed the task.
Results: Behaviorally, as indexed by phase locking value, movements were more stable in symmetric mode than in alternate mode. With increasing frequency, symmetric mode became more unstable; in contrast, alternating mode became more stable at higher frequencies, suggesting phase transition. Activation in brain regions of interest was much stronger in symmetric mode as compared with alternate mode. In alternate mode, but not symmetric mode, [HbO] varied with frequency.
Conclusion: Interpersonal bimanual coordination involves activity in premotor areas (premotor cortex, supplementary motor area, and frontal eye fields). More oxygen is consumed in these regions in alternating mode than in symmetric mode.

Capillarity-guided liquid manipulations are ubiquitous in nature. Multifarious bioinspired capillary microfluidic devices have been developed to control different liquid behaviors. However, current capillary systems still suffer substantial limitations in flexible three-dimensional (3D) liquid manipulation, especially in reversible liquid capture and release, programmable 3D liquid patterning, and large-scale multi-liquid manipulation. Here, we propose “switchable capillary and drainage containers” composed of connected frame units for versatile programmable 3D liquid manipulation. A small difference in the frame connections induces vastly distinct liquid behaviors, namely, liquid capture in capillary containers and liquid release in drainage containers. Liquid capture or release can be reversibly switched by establishing or breaking the liquid continuity between containers. Using predefined frame connections allows programmable 3D patterning of unary and binary liquids, enabling parallel multi-variable studies. The containers are proved to be powerful fluidic platforms with applications including reversible capillary sampling and release, high-flow evaporative humidifier, and efficient CO2 capture. We envision that the containers will open broad applications in materials science, interfacial chemistry, and biomedical research. Main text
Traumatic Incarceration of a Right Inguinal Hernia Due to a Deceleration Injury Following Airborne Operations: A Case Report
Authors: Donahue Alec K. , Kaplan Adam Jared
Published: September 2022

Anterior abdominal wall hernias are a common and well described surgical pathology occurring in an estimated 5–10% of the population. Here, we describe a patient found to have acute incarceration of omentum through a patent processus vaginalis secondary to a high energy deceleration injury following airborne operations. Many studies and meta-analysis have been performed to examine the association between occupational risk factors, patient factors, and precipitating events leading to acute hernia and found insufficient evidence to support a causal link between single strenuous events and acute hernia formation. This case highlights and documents the occurrence of an isolated acute inguinal hernia with omental incarceration in the setting of patent processus vaginalis secondary to a single deceleration injury, contradicting the widely held notions described above.
