Background: Knowledge of the frontal horn size is necessary for the initial and precise analysis of Ventriculomegaly. Therefore, having a baseline reference value of the frontal horn size will be beneficial in a huge vary of medical pathologies. The purpose of this study was to determine the frontal horn of lateral ventricle size and its correlation with age among adult patients in the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, 2019. Methods: Hospital-based cross-sectional study design was conducted on 169 patients in the age group of 20-79 years in the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. The study participants were assessed by way of structured questionnaires and checklists. Radiological residents were performed computerized tomography measurements of the frontal horn of lateral ventricle size. The data were entered using EPI INFO version 7 and analyzed by SPSS version 20. By Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficients, the correlations of frontal horn size with associated factors were evaluated. A paired t-test (between left and right side), independent t-test (between male and female) ANOVA (mean the difference between age groups) were performed. The p-value of less than 0.05was considered being significant. Results: The mean right and left frontal horn length, width, and frontal horn tips diameter were 27.57 (±3.72) mm, 28.47 (±3.77) mm, and 4.90 (±1.54) mm, 5.08 (±1.58) mm, and 30.36 (±3.04) mm, respectively. In relation to gender, the measurement of the frontal horn is greater in males as compared to females. Conclusion: In total, 169 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria. This study found a direct relationship between the frontal horn of lateral ventricle size with the age of both male and female adult participants. In all measurements, the frontal horn of the lateral ventricle size of male participants was greater than that of female participants.

Fisetin (3, 7, 3', 4'-tetrahydroxyflavone) is an active ingredient characterized by a large spectrum of biological activities with a wide range of nutraceutical properties, including neuroprotecting, antidiabetic and suppression or prevention of tumors. The only drawback limiting its use is its low water solubility. The present work was focused on the solubility improvement of fisetin using spray-drying solid dispersion method, using also cyclodextrin polymers and which is extensively employed as technique to enhance poorly-water soluble compounds. Fisetin solubility was evaluated in the presence of poly-aβ-CD, poly-aγ-CD, poly-aβγ-CD and poly-methyl-β-CD by Higuchi solubility study. Spherical Amorphous solid dispersion formulations were prepared using polymethyl- β-CD (choice of the polymer was based on the better results of solubility study) at different ratios drug: polymer (1:1) and (1:3). In addition, different formulations were investigated using several techniques such as: Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), NMR and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The in vitro dissolution was performed in water at 37°C. The results of dissolution studies showed a complete dissolution observed with the formulation ratio 1:3 while the formulation ratio 1:1 showed a maximum dissolution rate about 59%. This difference is due to the formation of watersoluble inclusion complex and on the other hand to the high hydrophilicity of the cyclodextrin polymer.

Patients with Cancer (C) have an important risk of developing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), but few studies have assessed the efficiency of psychological interventions to treat it. Also, it is known that the presence of unprocessed traumatic experiences prior to diagnosis, represents a risk of the onset of a PTSD. Furthermore, no studies have analyzed the quality of such traumatic experiences during C patients life. The study has the threefold objective of assessing the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) in C patients diagnosed with PTSD, examining the presence of unprocessed traumatic experiences in the pre-diagnosis lives of C patients and analyzing these clinical experience in relation to the localization of the primary cancer. Patients with C diagnosis at any stage of the disease were included, receiving either EMDR. Patients were assessed before and after (follow-up) treatments with clinical questionnaires. Patients at the first diagnosis undergo 10 sessions of psychotherapy, while patients with recurrence are subjected to 16 sessions. We had 3 patients, 2 at second stage of disease (just before to start therapy) and 1 at his third recurrence. Localization of primary cancer: Shoulder, breast, skin. Results show complete remission of PTSD in all patients, the presence of unprocessed traumatic experiences in the pre-diagnosis lives (mourning). Confirming the efficiency of EMDR in PTSD in C patients, would mean being able to rely on a powerful psychological tool in an area where the emotional aspect plays a key role in recovery patients’ psychophysical and quality of life. It is also impressive to assess the relationship between the presence of raw traumatic events prior to the communication of the diagnosis and onset of PTSD, as well as the nature of these experiences. These clinical data are essential both to plan increasingly detailed and specific treatments in terms of quality and time, and to think of a psychological prevention perspective dedicated to the person understood as a totality.

In nutritional guidance to prevent the development of arteriosclerosis, keep the calorie intake appropriate, suppress the intake of unsaturated fatty acids, refrain from sugar and salt, and limited alcoholic beverages consumption are advised. In recent years, in addition to these diets for preventing arteriosclerosis, as the number of undernourished elderly cardiovascular disease patients increases, more complicated nutritional guidance considering malnutrition is required. Many elderly patients with heart failure are undernourished, which is a cause of further deterioration of mental and physical function. It is useful to accurately evaluate this malnutrition and to perform appropriate interventions such as diet and exercise therapy. In the mini-review, we will summarize the nutritional assessment of elderly patients with cardiovascular disease as the end stage of atherosclerotic diseases and the nutritional assessment tools, which are useful for the evaluation. The nutritional status can be evaluated more accurately by combining several evaluation items. In the mini-review, we introduce MNA® (Mini Nutritional Assessment), GNRI (Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index), CONUT (Controlling Nutritional Status), and the GLIM criteria. These nutritional assessment tools are useful for elderly patients with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases to evaluate their nutritional conditions.

Influence of the Radicaloid Character of Polyaromatic Hydrocarbon Couplers on Magnetic Exchange Interactions
Authors: Kaur Prabhleen , Ali Md. Ehesan
Published: May 2021

Understanding the properties of the coupler influencing spin-spin interactions in organic diradicals are crucial for designing of molecular spintronic systems with long-range effects. In this quest, using density functional theory (DFT) based broken symmetry method, magnetic exchange coupling (2J) between localized radical centers at a given length connected via spacers with different radicaloid character (y) is investigated. The nitroxy radical sites are coupled through prototypical decacene coupler keeping them ~ 27 Å apart. Couplers with different y values, modeled by addition of benzenoid rings in the spin confining region of decacene are used as different spacers between nitroxide diradicals. The strength of magnetic coupling between the localized spin centers is found to be correlated with the radicaloid character of polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) spacers. The stronger exchange interaction is observed for the diradical with higher radicaloid character. It is further observed that the fractional occupied molecular orbitals (MOs) responsible for the open-shell nature of the coupler predominantly constitute the Frontier MOs (FMOs), while in diradicals SOMOs constitute the FMOs.

Published: May 2021

The development of inhibitors of intracellular protein–protein interactions (PPIs) is of great significance for drug discovery, but the generation of a cell-permeable molecule with high affinity to protein is challenging. Oligo(N-substituted glycines) (oligo-NSGs), referred to as peptoids, are attractive as potential intracellular PPI inhibitors owing to their high membrane permeability. However, their intrinsically flexible backbones make the rational design of inhibitors difficult. Here, we propose a peptoid-based rational approach to develop cell-permeable PPI inhibitors using oligo(N-substituted alanines) (oligo-NSAs). The rigid structures of oligo-NSAs enable independent optimization of each N-substituent to improve binding affinity and membrane permeability, while preserving the backbone shape. A molecule with optimized N-substituents inhibited a target PPI in cells, which demonstrated the utility of oligo-NSA as a reprogrammable template to develop intracellular PPI inhibitors.

Published: May 2021

The self-assembly of trivalent lanthanide ions with ditopic organic spacers results in the formation of complex tiling patterns that mimic the structural motifs of quasi-periodic 2D materials. The assembly of trans-{LnI2}+ nodes (Ln = Gd, Dy) with both closed-shell and anion radicals of 4,4'-bipyridine affords rare examples of Archimedean tessellations in a metal-organic framework. We furthermore demonstrate occurrence of sizable magnetic exchange interactions and slow relaxation of magnetization behaviour in a complex tessellation pattern. The implementation of Archimedean tessellations in lanthanide(III) coordination solids couriers a strategy to design elusive quasi-periodic metal-organic frameworks with inimitable magnetic properties
Predicting Octanol/water Partition Coefficients Using Molecular Simulation for the SAMPL7 Challenge: Comparing the Use of Neat and Water Saturated 1-Octanol
Authors: Sabatino Spencer J. , Paluch Andrew
Published: May 2021

Blind predictions of octanol/water partition coefficients at 298 K for 22 drug-like compounds were made for the SAMPL7 challenge. The octanol/water partition coefficients were predicted using solvation free energies computed using molecular dynamics simulations, wherein we considered the use of both pure and water-saturated 1-octanol to model the octanol-rich phase. Water and 1-octanol were modeled using TIP4P and TrAPPE-UA, respectively, which have been shown to well reproduce the experimental mutual solubility, and the solutes were modeled using GAFF. After the close of the SAMPL7 challenge, we additionally made predictions using TIP4P/2005 water. We found that the predictions were sensitive to the choice of water force field. However, the effect of water in the octanol-rich phase was found to be even more significant and non-negligible. The effect of inclusion of water was additionally sensitive to the chemical structure of the solute.
The Impact of Ligand Field Symmetry on Molecular Qubit Coherence

Published: May 2021

Developing quantum bits (qubits) exhibiting room temperature electron spin coherence is a key goal of molecular quantum information science. Here we develop a simple and powerful model for predicting relative T1 coherence times in transition metal complexes from dynamic ligand field principles. By considering the excited state origins of ground state spin-phonon coupling, we derive group theory selection rules governing which vibrational symmetries can induce decoherence. Thermal weighting of the coupling terms produces surprisingly good predictions of experimental T1 trends as a function of temperature and explains previously confounding features in spin-lattice relaxation data. We use this model to evaluate experimental relaxation rates across S = ½ transition metal qubit candidates with diverse structures, gaining new insights into the interplay between spin-phonon coupling and molecular symmetry. This methodology elucidates the specific vibrational modes giving rise to decoherence, suggesting symmetry-based design strategies and providing insight into the origin of room temperature coherence in transition metal complexes.
Methodological Challenges in the Assessment of Dogs' (Canis lupus familiaris) Susceptibility of the Ebbinghaus-Titchener Illusion Using the Spontaneous Choice Task

Published: May 2021

Visual illusions represent an innovative method to investigate animal visual perception. One well known geometric illusion is the Ebbinghaus-Titchener illusion, which consists of two identically sized target circles with one surrounded by large inducer circles and the other surrounded by small inducer circles. Humans are susceptible to this illusion, underestimating the size of the target circle surrounded by larger inducers and overestimating the size of the target circle surrounded by smaller inducers. In the present study, we investigated whether pet dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) perceive the Ebbinghaus-Titchener illusion in a spontaneous choice task by adapting and replicating the methodology of Miletto Petrazzini et al. (2017). Twenty-five pet dogs were presented with two stimuli in which a food reward was embedded. Each subject participated in 18 total trials, 12 size discrimination control trials (where one food reward was larger than the other) and six illusion trials (where identically sized food rewards were presented). Dogs, as a group, failed to demonstrate a significant preference for the larger food reward in control trials, and demonstrated null susceptibility, performing at chance, in the illusion trials. The chance performance on controls prevents further interpretation regarding canine illusion susceptibility; however, it invokes a discussion regarding the methodological challenges associated with conducting spontaneous-choice tasks. In an attempt to provide guidance for future research, we provide a review of canine illusion susceptibility to the Ebbinghaus-Titchener illusion and detailed recommendations to help mitigate extraneous factors to help further research of animal illusion susceptibility.
Updating a Textbook Model of Collective Behavior: Nest Wall Building in Temnothorax albipennis
Authors: Invernizzi Edith , Ruxton Graeme D.
Published: May 2021

We reproduce the agent-based model of Temnothorax albipennis (formerly Leptothorax tuberointerruptus) nest building behavior described in Camazine et al. (2001) and based on the laboratory data and models found in Franks et al. (1992) and Franks and Deneubourg (1997). The model describes a set of behavioral rules that, when used by each worker independently, lead to behavioral coordination and the emergence of a coherent structure (the nest wall) without the need for advanced cognition: no direct communication between workers or explicit assessment of structural properties such as nest size is required. Some modelling details and data on the repeatability of results were missing from the original work. Here, we successfully replicate the findings and find the structure created by the model to be a good approximation of the one built under laboratory conditions. We additionally find that limited building material availability compromises the quality of the final structure under this behavioral model and that nest size might adjust to colony size over time. This latter finding appears, on the surface, to conflict with the predictions of the analytical model (Franks & Deneubourg, 1997).
Considering Generalizability: A Lesson from Auditory Enrichment Research on Zoo Animals
Authors: Khan Nicola , Wascher Claudia A.F.
Published: May 2021

Environmental enrichment, particularly auditory enrichment, has recently gained attention as a potential method for reducing stress, and encouraging a more diverse behavior repertoire in captive animals. However, the effects of auditory enrichment on behavior are inconclusive between different studies, and interpretation of behavior has proven difficult. In this commentary, we discuss different factors, such as small sample sizes and diversity of social groups, which might contribute to contradicting results. We then discuss the value of replication studies in animal behavior research and provide a framework and practical guidelines for developing independent replications prior to publication.
Replications, Comparisons, Sampling and the Problem of Representativeness in Animal Cognition Research
Authors: Farrar Benjamin G. , Voudouris Konstantinos , Clayton Nicola S.
Published: May 2021

Animal cognition research often involves small and idiosyncratic samples. This can constrain the generalizability and replicability of a study’s results and prevent meaningful comparisons between samples. However, there is little consensus about what makes a strong replication or comparison in animal research. We apply a resampling definition of replication to answer these questions in Part 1 of this article, and, in Part 2, we focus on the problem of representativeness in animal research. Through a case study and a simulation study, we highlight how and when representativeness may be an issue in animal behavior and cognition research and show how the representativeness problems can be viewed through the lenses of, i) replicability, ii) generalizability and external validity, iii) pseudoreplication and, iv) theory testing. Next, we discuss when and how researchers can improve their ability to learn from small sample research through, i) increasing heterogeneity in experimental design, ii) increasing homogeneity in experimental design, and, iii) statistically modeling variation. Finally, we describe how the strongest solutions will vary depending on the goals and resources of individual research programs and discuss some barriers towards implementing them.

Early breastfeeding is an initial key to success in breastfeeding practice where breastmilk is given immediately 3 minutes after birth. Breastfeeding problems can appear, one of them, are caused by certain conditions. For instance, the mother complains on the first day of breast milk production and the ejection of it cannot get out or just a little bit, so it makes a worried the mother in giving breast milk. This is also compounded by the fussy condition of the babyâ€™s which makes mothers think that their breast milk is not enough to fulfill the baby's nutrition. It is no least of mothers who give formula milk to their babies and not to train their babies to suck motherâ€™s nipple. In a worrying condition and lack confidence feeling about insufficient breast milk, a mother needs help and support in producing breast milk. Some of the alternative efforts can be done to increase breast milk production either using pharmacology or non-pharmacology. A way in non-pharmacology is by doing the back rolling massage and acupuncture point GB21. This research was conducted to analyze the influence of back rolling massage and acupuncture point GB21 on breast milk production. The method was a quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest with a control group design; the total sample was 90 post-partum mothers. The result showed there was a significant influence of weight after the research on the three groups (p-value 0,0001). The conclusion that back rolling massage and acupuncture point GB21 give an influence in increasing breast milk production.

AIDS which is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is a global health crisis, with differentiated cluster 4 (CD4) cells being the main target so that it can affect the high morbidity and mortality rates. This study aimed to determine the determinants that affect CD4 levels in people with HIV/AIDS. The study population was all people with HIV/AIDS in care, support, and treatment (CST) services in Palembang City with a sample size of 118. The sampling technique was carried out using nonrandom, namely purposive sampling. Samples were taken when respondents took antiretroviral (ARV) treatment at a health facility. The research instrument used a structured questionnaire and medical records. To measure the determinant (independent variable) was done by interview, while to determine the CD4 count using data that has been recorded in the Medical Record. The results are the length of treatment was a factor that could reduce the risk of low CD4 levels in people with HIV/AIDS, with p-value=0,006; ORAdj 0,286 (0,117-0,697), whereas stigma and treatment side effects were proven as confounding variables. Increasing the CD4 in people living with HIV/AIDS requires appropriate and regular treatment. Regular treatment with a duration of therapy of more than 1 year has been shown to prevent low CD4 cells. The higher the CD4 cell count in people living with HIV/AIDS, the greater the chance of controlling opportunistic infections, reducing transmission and premature death. People with HIV/AIDS are advised to take regular medication at available health facilities and take medication regularly.

Published: May 2021

O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar os entendimentos sobre as relações interpessoais no ambiente escolar de estudantes de um curso de pós-graduação stricto sensu em Educação em Ciências e Matemática. Aplicou-se um questionário aos participantes e as repostas foram analisadas por meio da Análise Textual Discursiva, sendo assim construídas quatro categorias finais: i) Problemas Estruturais e Pedagógicos; ii) Problemas Socioafetivos; iii) Relações Dialógicas; e iv) Incentivo à formação e mudança das práticas docentes. Evidenciou-se, entre outros fatores, que há relações entre as categorias de problemas e potencialidades e, sendo uma investigação sobre relações interpessoais, mostraram-se mais presentes questões estruturais e pedagógicas ao invés de relações sociais, propriamente ditas. Além disso, percebeu-se que os currículos de formação básica nas licenciaturas são eminentemente técnicos, enfocando muito mais a área específica das ciências do que o tema das relações interpessoais no ensino.

Published: May 2021

This paper considers the use of the United Nations global goals to provide a framework for the teaching of professional and related skills. The main example and case study considered in this paper is from computing; however, much of the approach and many of the issues are applicable to a wide range of subjects, especially in science. Alongside the specific skills attached to sustainability, the paper also considers the broader development of some of the investigative and analytical skills that underpin university research and reflect the need for a research informed curriculum, and the so-called teaching-research nexus. The paper also considers other aspects of the context for graduate skills, including accreditation requirements and employers’ expectations; such expectations of graduates frequently include the requirement that students are able to understand and demonstrate a range of non-technical specific issues, topics and skills and issues. This paper describes the use of global challenges to motivate the delivery and engagement with a case study.

Anísio Teixeira faz parte do grupo de educadores brasileiros que se propuseram a pensar a educação no Brasil e a praticá-la em sua vida pública. Em contato com a filosofia pedagógica de John Dewey, Anísio baseou seu pensamento e expandiu-o, adaptando-o para a realidade e necessidades da sociedade brasileira. O presente artigo tem a finalidade de analisar a criação de um dos seus projetos, o Centro Educacional Carneiro Ribeiro, sob a ótica da democracia presente no pensamento deweyano e anisiano. Para isso, se faz uma breve passagem pela pedagogia de Dewey, adentrando em sua concepção de democracia e como ela influencia sua visão pedagógica e, a partir daí, se compara com os objetivos pretendidos por Anísio com a criação do Centro em bairro operário, de Salvador, no fim da década de 40.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh kepemilikan pemerintah dan asing terhadap perilaku pengambilan risiko bank dengan menggunakan pendekatan Z-score. Penelitian ini menggunakan data dari 76 bank umum konvensional di Indonesia selama periode 2012-2018. Variabel dependen perilaku pengambilan risiko bank diukur menggunakan Z-Score. Variabel independen kepemilikan bank diukur menggunakan proporsi pemegang saham pemerintah dan asing. Variabel kontrol adalah ukuran bank, likuiditas bank, efisiensi operasional bank, umur bank, dan produk domestik bruto. Terakhir, dalam robustness test, penelitian ini membagi sampel berdasarkan dummy kepemilikan untuk melihat peran kepemilikan pemerintah dan asing pada bank pemerintah dan swasta (domestik dan asing). Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kepemilikan pemerintah tidak terbukti dalam mengurangi perilaku pengambilan risiko bank, sebaliknya, kepemilikan asing terbukti dalam meningkatkan perilaku pengambilan risiko bank pada seluruh sampel dan sampel bank swasta.
Borowetan Sebuah Situs Di Wilayah Kerakaian Balitung

Published: May 2021

Situs Borowetan memang baru tersingkap sebagian kecil saja, yang berupa struktur bata sisi timur. Sehingga melalui data yang hanya sedikit tersebut sangat sulit untuk mengungkap latar belakang sejarahnya, khususnya apabila dikaitkan dengan sejarah kerajaan Mataram kuna. Walaupun situs ini terletak dekat dengan ditemukannya prasasti Kayu Ara Hiwang, namun masih sulit juga untuk mengkaitkannya dengan prasasti tersebut. Di dalam prasasti itu memang disebutkan adanya sebuah kompleks bangunan suci (parhyangan) yang harus dirawat oleh penduduk desa Kayu Ara Hiwang. Namun bangunan suci itu terletak di Pariwutan. Jika benar Pariwutan adalab Desa Pulutan sekarang yang berada di Kecamatan Ngombol -- seperti dikatakan oleb MM Sukarto K. Atmodjo – berarti struktur bata itu bukan bagian dari bangunan suci seperti disebutkan dalam prasasti Kayu Ara Hiwang.

Published: May 2021

Vitamin C memiliki gugus kromofor dan dapat dianalisis menggunakan spektrofotometri UV, namun apabila matriks yang akan dianalisis berupa multivitamin yang kompleks diperlukan metode pemisahan yang selektif untuk mengurangi interferensi dari matriks. Salah satu metode pemisahan yang selektif dalam pemisahan adalah Molecular Imprinted Polymer (MIP) yang belum banyak digunakan dalam sampel multivitamin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh MIP yang selektif untuk pemisahan vitamin C dalam sediaan multivitamin.

Metode penelitian meliputi pengamatan interaksi vitamin C dengan monomer fungsional menggunakan spektrofotomeri UV. MIP disintesis dengan menggunakan metode ruah selama 24 jam pada suhu 60 °C. MIP dikarakterisasi menggunakan menggunakan spektrofotometri inframerah dan scanning electron microscopy. Selektivitas MIP ditentukan dengan pengujian faktor imprinting dan perbandingan perolehan kembalinya terhadap metode ekstraksi cair-cair (ECC) dan SPE C18 untuk pemisahan vitamin C dalam sampel multivitamin di pasaran menggunakan metode yang telah tervalidasi.  

Pergeseran hipsokromik menunjukkan adanya interaksi antara vitamin C dengan monomer fungsional di mana ikatan hidrogen berperan dominan dalam sintesis MIP. Faktor imprinting yang lebih dari 1 dan nilai perolehan kembali yang mendekati 100% menunjukkan selektivitas MIP terhadap vitamin C. MIP-1 memiliki selektivitas paling tinggi dibandingkan dengan metode ECC dan SPE C18 untuk pemisahan vitamin C dalam sampel multivitamin dengan persen perolehan kembali berturut-turut sebesar 98,17±2,31%, 69,42±3,01%, dan 93,26±4,24%. MIP-1 yang dihasilkan selektif untuk pemisahan vitamin C dalam sediaan multivitamin.
