Authors: Narciso F V , Silva A , Rodrigues DF , Rosa JPP , Viegas F , Silva SC , Bichara JJ , Pereira SRD , Tufik S , Mello M T
Published: October 2020

Objective: To analyze chronotype, duration and quality of sleep among elite athletes, to compare differences in sleep variables between sex, and to compare differences between athletes of individual and team sports.

Method: The sample included 70 Brazilian elite athletes of both sex (male=37; female=33) with a mean age 23.0 ± 4.0 years old. To measure sleep-wake cycle, athletes wore an actigraph on the wrist for 10 days. Moreover, athletes answered the chronotype questionnaire of Horne and Östberg.

Results: The most athletes are intermediate-type (n=55, 78.6%), with a mean of 07h:18min of sleep per night. The athletes demonstrated higher sleep fragmentation (39.26 ± 23.66 minutes) and higher sleep latency (30.88 ± 16.19 minutes) during pre-competition training days. Additionally, the athletes of individual sports demonstrated more fragmentation (p<0.001) and less sleep efficiency (p<0.001) compared athletes of team sports. However, there was no significant difference in all sleep variables between the male and female sex.

Conclusion: The overall elite athletes presented poor sleep quality during the training periods prior to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and individual athletes showed higher fragmentation and poorer sleep efficiency compared to team athletes.

A systematic review of rehabilitation and exercise recommendations in oncology guidelines
Authors: Stout Nicole L. , Santa Mina Daniel , Lyons Kathleen D. , Robb Karen , Silver Julie K.
Published: October 2020

Guidelines promote high quality cancer care. Rehabilitation recommendations in oncology guidelines have not been characterized and may provide insight to improve integration of rehabilitation into oncology care. This report was developed as a part of the World Health Organization (WHO) Rehabilitation 2030 initiative to identify rehabilitation‐specific recommendations in guidelines for oncology care. A systematic review of guidelines was conducted. Only guidelines published in English, for adults with cancer, providing recommendations for rehabilitation referral and assessment or interventions between 2009 and 2019 were included. 13840 articles were identified. After duplicates and applied filters, 4897 articles were screened. 69 guidelines were identified with rehabilitation‐specific recommendations. Thirty‐seven of the 69 guidelines endorsed referral to rehabilitation services but provided no specific recommendations regarding assessment or interventions. Thirty‐two of the 69 guidelines met the full inclusion criteria and were assessed using the AGREE II tool. Twenty‐one of these guidelines achieved an AGREE II quality score of ≥ 45 and were fully extracted. Guidelines exclusive to pharmacologic interventions and complementary and alternative interventions were excluded. Findings identify guidelines that recommend rehabilitation services across many cancer types and for various consequences of cancer treatment signifying that rehabilitation is a recognized component of oncology care. However, these findings are at odds with clinical reports of low rehabilitation utilization rates suggesting that guideline recommendations may be overlooked. Considering that functional morbidity negatively affects a majority of cancer survivors, improving guideline concordant rehabilitative care could have substantial impact on function and quality of life among cancer survivors.

Role of macrophages in atherosclerosis
Authors: Chowdhury Afrin Sultana , Tamanna Saheda , Kar Kumkum
Published: October 2020

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory state, which arise from the imbalance in lipid metabolism. Over the last decade, studies have showing the association of macrophages with this maladaptive immune response. Macrophages differentiated from monocytes and populate at the growing atherosclerotic lesions. At the lesion site by accumulating lipid they actively participate in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. These plaques are very susceptible to rupture which can lead to myocardial infarction or stroke. In future more studies are needed to classify different macrophage populations according to their phenotypic and functional characteristics to identify their roles in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. This review highlights several aspects of macrophages activation, diversity, recruitment, and foam cell formation in atherosclerosis.

Authors: Batoro Jati , Hakim Luchman , Rahardi Brian
Published: October 2020

A spring is a place where water comes out of the ground seepage, seeps into the soil, then flows through cracks, gaps or natural tracts. Springs (sumber, tuk, umbulan, belik) are used to extract water by local people. This study was aimed at uncovering the knowledge about the types of sacred trees which supported the traditional conservation for water spring in Malang regency. The survey was carried out directly by taking three specimens in the spring environment. Interviews were conducted in person, in-depth, semi-structurally to the local community and tribe leaders. This study contained also the description of the diversity of sacred tree species which supported water spring in Malang Regency, East Java. The results of the study recorded 41 types of 27 genera and 20 families. The diversity of sacred tree species that are believed to be sacred include: ringin (Ficusbenyamina), lo (Ficusglomerata), serut (Streblusasper), ipik-ipik (Ficusprocera), ilat-ilat (Ficuscallosa), bendo (Artocarpuselastica), jambuklampokwatu (Syzygiumlittorale), aren (Arengapinnata), gayam (Inocarpusfagifer), cangkring (Erythrinafusca). The types of water spring supporter are: bambuori (Bambusablumeana), bambubetung (Dendrocalamusasper), bambuapus (Gigantochloaapus), and of the familiaApocynaceae (Ervatamiasphaerocarpa), kecrutan (Spathodeacampanulata), warugunung (Hibiscus similis) etc. The existence of those meaningful trees is a symbol of the existence of a spring and the start of sustainable culture and customs in Malang Raya. Thus, petrenneeds to get the recognition as a longer, traditional conservation model from the government especially from the local government in a form of village regulation. Preserving the springs and environment is a local wisdom of the people of Malang regency, in an effort to preserve traditional conservation and harmony with the lives of other organisms.

Transfusion of blood saves life. An error in blood transfusion, at the same time, takes life. A cross sectional study was carried out for assessing the knowledge and practice on blood transfusion among the senior staff nurses using a structured questionnaire through face to face interview in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). Among the about half of the respondents (54.8%)% were in the age group above 40 consisting 97.6% of female where 98% were married.  By professional education 79% had Diploma in nursing and midwifery and 16.9% had graduation in nursing. This study revealed that the respondents could mentioned the name of screening tests as HBsAg (65.3%), HIV (58.1%), VDRL (53.2%), HBV (23.4%) and HBC (7.3%). Things to be checked and things to be considered also evaluated among the respondent and found responsive results. This study revealed that among the respondents 57% had moderate knowledge on blood transfusion, 41% good knowledge and only 2% had poor knowledge. There is an association between knowledge level on blood transfusion and year of service. This association is statistically not significant having p value 0.074. Among the respondents almost 48.4% stated transfuse screened blood as a preventive measure to fix problems regarding blood transfusion. Around 5.6% of the respondents mentioned maintaining proper system of blood transfusion as a measure. A few respondents (4.0%) said that difficulties due to blood transfusion can be prevented by controlling blood transfusion related side effects.

Aineistona käytämme kymmenen 13–17-vuotiaan sukupuoli- ja/tai seksuaalivähemmistöön kuuluvan nuoren haastatteluita. Analyysitapamme on outouttava luenta. Tarkastelemme koululiikunnan ja liikuntaharrastusten itsestään selvinä pidettyjä käytäntöjä sekä sateenkaarinuorten näissä konteksteissa kokemaa ja havaitsemaa oudoksuntaa. Jotkut nuoret eivät olleet kokeneet syrjintää koululiikunnassa ja liikuntaharrastuksissa, joidenkin kokemukset vaihtelivat ulossulkemisesta fyysiseen väkivaltaan. Ongelmatilanteet jakautuivat rakenteellisella tasolla liikuntatuntien ja -harrastusten sukupuolittavaan kieleen ja käytäntöihin, yksilötasolla näiden tilanteiden aiheuttamaan epämukavuuteen. Nuorten saadessa itse päättää, missä ryhmässä tai roolissa he liikuntatunteilla tai -harrastuksissa toimivat, oli osallistuminen haasteettomampaa. Nuorten mielestä yhdenvertaisuutta ja tasa-arvoa edistävät sukupuolittavan ilmaisun ja käytäntöjen välttäminen, sekaryhmät sekä syrjintään puuttuminen.

Selvitimme tutkimuksessamme nykypäivän massoittuneeseen, uusliberalistiseen ja digitalisoituvaan yliopistoon saapuvien uusien opiskelijoiden tulkintoja opintojen alkuvaiheesta ja vertaistuen merkityksestä. Tarkastelimme sitä, millä tavoin ensimmäisen vuoden opiskelijat rakentavat kertomuksissaan käsitystä itsestään yliopisto-opiskelijoina, millaisena opintojen alkuvaihe näyttäytyy fuksin näkökulmasta sekä sitä, millaisia merkityksiä ainejärjestö ja yliopisto yhteisönä laajemminkin opiskelijoiden kertomuksissa saavat. Tutkimusaineistomme muodostui 64 ensimmäisen vuoden opiskelijan vastauksista puolistrukturoituun opintojen alkuvaihetta koskevaan kirjoituskutsuun. Käsittelimme aineistoa pieninä kertomuksina ja hyödynsimme identiteetin ulottuvuuksien, kategorioiden ja positioinnin käsitteitä. Opiskelijoiden tuottamista pienistä kertomuksista erottui useita itsen asemoinnin tapoja, jotka nimesimme perinteisen akateemisen, asiakkaan, koululaisen ja vierailijan positioiksi. Erilaiset tavat positioitua olivat yhteydessä erilaisiin kategorioihin. Esimerkiksi kertomuksissa perinteisestä akateemisesta ja koululaisfuksista niin sanottu ”hyvän opiskelijan” kategoria oli yhteneväinen, mutta kirjoittajan suhde siihen rakentui erilaiseksi. Asiakkaan positiosta käsin kertomuksissa rakennettiin opiskelusta instrumentaalista ”omaa projektia”.  Vierailijan positiosta tarkasteltuna suhde opintoihin ja opiskeluympäristöön esittäytyi kokonaisuudessaan ristiriitaisena. Pohdimme tuloksiemme merkitystä yliopisto-opintojen alkuvaiheen ymmärtämisen sekä alkuohjauksen kehittämisen kannalta.

Bu çalışmada sağır toplumu, engellilik perspektifinin karşısında kültürel bir grup olarak ele alınmış ve sağır kültürünün bileşenleri incelenmiştir. Ortak bir dil, kültür, aidiyet duygusu, norm ve değerler sistemine sahip olan sağır dünyasının en önemli parçası, açılımı Children of Deaf Adults olan ve Türkçe’de CODA olarak bilinen sağır ailelerin işiten çocuklarıdır. CODA bireylerin çift kültürlü olmaları ile ilişkili olarak yaşadıkları psikososyal sorunlar vardır. Bu sorunların başında aile içi rol değişimi, erken dönemde ebeveynleşme ve damgalanmaya maruz kalmak gelmektedir.
Hem toplumla hem de birey ve ailelerle çalışan sosyal hizmet uzmanları için sağır toplumunu ve kültürel özelliklerini anlamak ancak sağır toplumunu kültürel bir grup olarak ele almakla gerçekleşir. Sağır toplumun en önemli üyelerinden biri olan sağır ailelerin çocuklarının psikososyal sorunları için profesyonel yardım mekanizmasına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu bağlamda CODA bireyler sosyal hizmet uzmanları için yeni bir müracaatçı grubu olarak değerlendirilmektedir.

The study investigated an in vitro propagation of Manihot esculenta Crantz in a substituted substrate regime. The aim was to proffer and affordable alternative to the expensive high tech media formulations usually employed in tissue culture protocol. The experiment was conducted on laboratory bench, using standard tissue culture and micropropagation methods under aseptic conditions. The morphogenesis effect of the substrate was determined based on the integer number of explants’ callus and adventitious shoot regeneration. Results showed that MS + Agar, supported embryogenic callus formation with 38% viability, NH4NO3 + KH2PO4 + Agar, supported same with 29%. MS + 2, 4-D + BAP +Agar supported shoot establishment with 32%. While NH4NO3 + KH2PO4 + Zea mays extracts + Agar, did same with 43.26%. MS + Soil, supported callugenesis with 27% viability while NH4NO3 + KH2PO4 + Soil supported the callus establishment with 25%. MS + 2,4 - D + BAP + Soil, supported shoot establishment with 38.41% viability while NH4NO3 + KH2PO4 + Zea mays Extracts + Soil supported same with 36%. The application of crude Zea mays seedling extracts can serve as potent alternative to the synthetic 2, 4 – D and BAP, in in vitro somatic cell morphogenesis. NH4NO3 + KH2 + PO4 can substitute for the MS salt in the same protocol. Loamy top soil can be a good alternative to agar powder as gelling agent in cassava somatic cell embryogenesis and shoot regeneration.

The study estimated the yield and profitability of cotton production in northern Nigeria. Primary data were used for the study using a well-structured questionnaire and experimental plots. Data were collected on the cost of inputs, price and quantity of output as well as constraints facing the enterprise. Crop cut experiment was used to estimate the yield per hectare during a given cultivation cycle. The budgetary technique was used to estimate cost and returns to cotton production and Likert scale was used to identify and rank the constraints facing the enterprise. Random Sampling was employed to select eleven cotton farmers from Anka, Maru and Talata-mafara Local Government Areas to have a sum of thirty-three respondents from which one respondent from each of the three local governments volunteered to host the experimental plot for the crop cut. These selections were done based on their prominence in cotton production. The average estimated quantity of the three plots located in the three local government gives an estimated value of 1183 kg/ha. The study showed that cotton production is profitable with a gross margin of ₦40 while the profit index and benefit-cost ratio were 0.12 and 1.13 respectively. Major constraints facing the production of cotton were insufficient funding, poor/unstable pricing, high cost of inputs, policy summersault, poor linkage with off-takers and pest and diseases. This study recommends that governments at all levels should provide loans with no or very low interest for the farmers to solve the problem of funds and put in place policy measures aimed at regulating the price of cotton to establish a good marketing system. There is a need for research institutes to develop more high yielding cotton seeds for cotton farmers to increase yield for more profit. Cotton farmers need to be introduced to new techniques and innovations for maximum output, hence a need for more extension services. Keywords: Cotton production, crop cut experiment, profitability.

Forest vegetation was installed 30 years ago in 73, according to afforestation formula 7PiN-2Pa (Fr) -1 seadbucktorn and 50 years in 49, according to the afforestation formula: 5PiN-2Pi-3Mo. Stands were led using silvotechnic works were just regarding hygienization, in the first years. However, in the recent past, the trees have suffered due to abiotic factors that favorized the emergence of disease and pests (Lophodermium ssp. and Diprion pini). So as to obtain more relevant scientific data, test surfaces were placed following the methods used in the agricultural field, modified as to fit the forest field, so the data could be statistically processed and allow the recommendation of adequate technical solutions regarding the ecological reconstruction of the damaged terrains. Eight test areas were placed in the forests and limitrophe to them, the collected data concerning the volume of rainfall, the quantity of runoff on each surface, respectively material collected in the designated tanks. Therefore the collected data has been processed in the laboratory, ultimately uncovering the quantity of eroded material and comparing it between the two compartments and the limitrophe land, having the following values: 0.0912 t/ha in 49, 0.1718 t/ha outside 49, 0.0939 t/ha in 73 and 0.1657 outside 73.

Low rice yields in Nigeria are attributed to poor soil fertility. Inorganic fertilizers used to improve soil fertility are expensive and not readily available. This work aimed at evaluating the nutrient potential of rice husk and cassava effluent compost for production of rice in Abraka, Delta State, Nigeria. Four formulations were made with rice husk (RH) and cow dung in ratio 7:3 by weight using water and cassava effluent [RH with water (RH), RH + cow dung with water (RHCd), RH with cassava effluent (RHC), RH + cow dung with cassava effluent (RHCdC)] and were applied at 2.5, 5 and 10 t/ha with control. Rice seeds were sown for two years in a randomized complete block design. Residual effects were monitored in the third year. Plant height (PH), leaf area (LA), dry matter (DM) and rice grain yield (GY) were measured as well as soil samples were taken for post-cropping analysis. Data were analyzed with ANOVA at α0.05. The results revealed that treatment RHCd at 10 t/ha had highest PH and LA while RHCdC at 10 t/ha produced the highest DM and GY in both years and in residual study. Treatment RHCdC at 10 t/ha had the highest soil pH value, organic carbon and RHCd at 10 t/ha had the highest total nitrogen at harvest in second year. Both treatments increased soil nutrients at harvest than other treatments and improved soil fertility. Keywords: Soil amendment, cow dung, organic fertilizer, rice yield, Abraka.

Do Thermally Mild Chemical Reactions (for Avoiding Fire Accidents) Give Rise to Unexpected Products?
Authors: Akitsu Takashiro , Onami Yuika , Katsuumi Natsuki
Published: October 2020

One of the most probable and frequent reasons for a chemical experiment fire accident may be dangerous heating as well as the reagent itself (e.g. volatility and ignition) during a chemical reaction. Some reaction methods without heating (such as long-time stirring at room temperature) and using advanced tools (such as a microfluidic device), which are associated with unusual intermediates kinetically and may result in yielding unexpected products thermodynamically. This paper focused on two complicated examples of crystal structure analysis of unexpected and/but normal products.

Emphysema, a type of lung-destroying condition associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is an inflammatory lung disease mainly due to cigarette smoke exposure. As there is no curative therapy, prevention should be considered first by cessation of smoking to avoid exposure to oxidative stresses and inflammatory mediators. In addition, therapies involving antioxidative and/or anti-inflammatory agents such as heme oxygenase (HO)-1 are candidate treatments. We developed a new tool using genetically modified Lactococcus lactis to deliver recombinant HO-1 to the lungs. Using an elastase-induced emphysema model mimicking COPD, we evaluated the effect of nasally administered L. lactis secreting HO-1 (HO-1 lactis) on cellular and molecular responses in the lungs and further disease progression. Nasally administered HO-1 lactis resulted in (1) overexpression of HO-1 in the lungs and serum and (2) attenuation of emphysema progression evaluated both physiologically and morphologically. There was a transient 5–10% weight loss compared to baseline through trafficking to the lungs when administering 1.0 × 109 cells/mouse; however, this did not impact either survival or final body weight. These results suggest that delivering HO-1 using genetically modified L. lactis through the airways could be a safe and potentially effective therapeutic approach for COPD.

Published: October 2020

Social media is a popular platform for information sharing. Any piece of information can be spread rapidly across the globe at lightning speed. The biggest challenge for social media platforms like Twitter is how to trust news shared on them when there is no systematic news verification process, which is the case for traditional media. Detecting false information, for example, detection of rumors is a non-trivial task, given the fast-paced social media environment. In this work, we proposed an ensemble model, which performs majority-voting scheme on a collection of predictions of neural networks using time-series vector representation of Twitter data for fast detection of rumors. Experimental results show that proposed neural network models outperformed classical machine learning models in terms of micro F1 score. When compared to our previous works the improvements are 12.5% and 7.9%, respectively.
Synthesis of ZSM-23 Zeolite by Two-Stage Temperature-Varied Crystallization and Its Isomerization Performance

Published: October 2020

Several ZSM-23 zeolites with different acid distributions are synthesized by two-stage temperature-varied crystallization and changing the species of aluminum source via conventional hydrothermal synthesis. The crystallinity, micropores, external specific surface area and the Si/Al ratios are measured by XRD, BET, ICP and XPS, indicating that both the body phase and the surface of the zeolite synthesized by two-stage temperature-varied crystallization have higher Si/Al ratio, and the zeolite synthesized with aluminum nitrate as the aluminum source exhibit the largest specific surface area. The properties of acidity and Pt obtained by NH3-TPD, TEM, Py-IR and H2-TPR show that the suitable B-acid distribution leads to high Pt dispersion over the zeolite. Applying these catalysts to the isomerization of n-dodecane, the zeolite synthesized with aluminum sulfate as aluminum source by two-step temperature-varied crystallization shows the best isomerization performance, that the selectivity of i-dodecane reaches 81.2% at 90.7% conversion. Therefore, the matching of acidity, external specific surface area and Pt dispersion of the zeolites is the key to improve the isomerization performance of long-chain alkanes.

Following ocular surgery, dressings are commonly applied to the surgical wound. These dressings need to combine medical properties with ease of use while maintaining comfort for the patient. For the ocular area, this means that the dressings need to act as a microbial barrier, allow good conformability to the contours of the eye, and provide evaporative cooling to the inflamed area. Furthermore, the dressings should be transparent to allow for the inspection of the wound site by healthcare professionals without the need for removal. In this paper, we investigate a blend of native agarose (NA) and carboxylated agarose (CA) for producing elastic hydrogels with high water content that can be supplemented with antibiotics. It was found that in comparison to pure agarose hydrogels, the NA hydrogels blended with CA had a reduced Young’s modulus, reduced evaporation rate when exposed to air, and accelerated release rate of antimicrobial agents, whilst maintaining the same degree of transparency. By altering the formulation from 2 wt.% pure NA to 1 wt.% NA blended with 1 wt.% CA, we were able to observe an approximately 55% reduction in Young’s modulus, 25% reduction in evaporation rate, as well as a significant acceleration in the release rate of cefazolin and doxycycline, making this hydrogel blend a potential material for topical treatment applications.

Published: October 2020

Pumps have a wide range of applications. Methods for fault detection of motors are increasingly being used for pumps. In the context of this paper, a test bench is built to investigate circulation pumps for faults. As a use case, the fault of impeller clogging was first measured and then examined with the help of motor current signature analysis. It can be seen that there are four frequencies at which there is an increase in amplitude in case of a fault. The sidebands around the supply frequency are in particular focus. The clogging of three and four of a total of seven channels leads to the highest amplitudes at the fault frequencies. The efficiency is reduced by 9 to 15% in case of faulty operation. These results indicate that the implementation of fault detection algorithms on the pump electronics represents added value for the pump operator. Furthermore, the results can be transferred to other applications.
