Insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane in muscle and adipocytes is crucial for whole-body glucose homeostasis. Currently, GLUT4 trafficking assays rely on overexpression of tagged GLUT4. Here we describe a high-content imaging platform for studying endogenous GLUT4 translocation in intact adipocytes. This method enables high fidelity analysis of GLUT4 responses to specific perturbations, multiplexing of other trafficking proteins and other features including lipid droplet morphology. Using this multiplexed approach we showed that Vps45 and Rab14 are selective regulators of GLUT4, butTrarg1,Stx6,Stx16,Tbc1d4andRab10knockdown affected both GLUT4 and TfR translocation. Thus, GLUT4 and TfR translocation machinery likely have some overlap upon insulin-stimulation. In addition, we identified Kif13A, a Rab10 binding molecular motor, as a novel regulator of GLUT4 traffic. Finally, comparison of endogenous to overexpressed GLUT4 highlights that the endogenous GLUT4 methodology has an enhanced sensitivity to genetic perturbations and emphasises the advantage of studying endogenous protein trafficking for drug discovery and genetic analysis of insulin action in relevant cell types.
A review on current trend of next generation of teas
Authors: S. Nurmilah , Utama G.L.
Published: October 2022

Several herbs are presently used in the food industry as functional additives, such as
botanic extracts in healthy drinks. Rapid population growth uses healthy drinks for
slimming, weight control, and various other beauty applications. In Asian countries, the
custom of tea consumption is highly prevalent. Caffeine is the most commonly used
behaviourally active ingredient in the world. Tea and coffee are the main product of daily
caffeine intake. The review aimed to describe the word ‘next-generation tea’ and the
implication of herbal tea/drinks which typically refers to healthy drinks produced using
fresh or dried herbs, leaves, immature berries, seeds, and roots of the source material, such
as infusion or boiling. Next-generation teas are rich in natural, bioactive compounds,
including carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids, coumarins, polyacetylene,
terpenoids, and saponins. Traditional review methodology with practical and
methodological screening was done to determine the appropriate reference sources.
Various empirical research has demonstrated that bioactive compounds are responsible for
multiple diversified biological functions, including anticarcinogenicity, antimutagenicity,
and antiaging effects such as antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral. The next generation
tea has more diverse bioactive compounds than Camellia sinensis L. based teas which
make it potential as a healthy drink.

Background: According to the World Health Organization, globally, there are ~5.4 million snake bites and 1.8–2.7 million cases of envenomation, with 81 410–137 880 deaths annually. Aims: To estimate using a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis the prevalence of neurotoxic and haemotoxic snake bite envenomation. Methods: Medline/PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane Library were searched up to January 2021 using keywords such as snake bite and snake envenomation. A bibliographic search and random search were also performed. Prospective or retrospective observational studies and randomized controlled trials were included in the review. Results: We included 271 of 9711 studies published between 1963 and 2020. The pooled prevalence of snakebite from 188 studies with a total of 207 235 participants showed the highest prevalence in North America [69.20%; 95% confidence interval (CI): 57.06–81.34%] and lowest in Africa (28.10%; 95% CI: 22.22–33.98%). There was a pooled prevalence of 24.94% (95% CI: 22.84–27.03%) of haemotoxicity, with a highest prevalence of coagulopathy (43.76%; 95% CI: 33.15–54.37%). The overall prevalence of neurotoxicity was 38.20% (95% CI: 31.88–44.53%), with a highest prevalence of ptosis (53.57%; 95% CI: 38.51–68.62%). Conclusion: There was a higher prevalence of snakebite in North America. The most prevalent haemotoxicity and neurotoxicity were coagulopathy and ptosis, respectively. The overall quality of evidence was good with a nonsignificant publication bias.
Trajectories and Accommodations of Democracy and Islam. (c2022)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Shamas Adnan
Published: October 2022

The Middle East has been going through various changes in the last decade with many parties and regimes identifying as Islamic. While the world is shifting focus to the importance of democracy, this thesis aims to better understand Islam and Democracy's accommodation. It elaborates on the reasons the trajectories adopted by different actors can be dissimilar. In doing so, the thesis examines the different democratic practices embraced by Islamist parties. It tackles the case studies of Turkey’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) and Iran’s Al Khomeini regime after the revolution of 1979. It examines the political, social, and economic pathways of each party. It finds that the different accommodations of democratic practices are directly related to the benefits that these parties receive. It also finds that the Islamic identity of the AKP and Al Khomeini are associated with the support they need in order to maintain the legitimacy of their governments and achieve the hegemony they strive for. Also, it explains how those adopted trajectories differ based on the historical, cultural, and political realities which lead to the accommodation of different practices to attain the actors’ intended objectives.
Semi-Discrete Shocks for a Microscopic Pedestrian Model. (c2022)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Joumaa Agatha
Published: October 2022

In this thesis, we explore in the framework of viscosity solutions the existence and uniqueness of traveling solutions using a pedestrian microscopic model. We consider that the velocity of the pedestrian at position u(y) depends on the velocity of two pedestrians ahead. u′(y) = V (u(y + 1) − u(y)) + V (u(y + 2) − u(y)) Throughout this work, we give the definition of a viscosity solution first then we prove the exponential behavior of the solution at ±∞. After that, using the monotony of the pedestrians interdistance which we achieve by the strong comparison principle, we derive necessarily conditions for the existence of such solutions. With this established, we proceed by constructing a traveling solution considering an approximate non-local operator on a bounded domain and using Perron’s method.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 40-60% of human health depends on a lifestyle in which 25-30% is devoted to a rational diet. Therefore, by meeting physiological needs in accordance with a rational diet, athletes can adapt more quickly to the applied physical load and achieve better sport results. The aim of the study was to describe and compare the factors that determine the healthy diet of athletes of various sports. The study, which aimed to assess the factors determining healthy diet, involved 157 students of physical educa- tion and sports studies from the University of Almaty. Respondents were divided into 3 groups - sports games (volleyball, football, basketball, tennis) (n=85), endurance sports (long distance running, skiing, road cycling, triathlon (n=22), and combat sports (wrestling, judo, karate, boxing) (n=50). The questionnaire by Steptoe et al. (1995) was employed to establish the opinion of the investigated subjects on the factors that determine healthy and rational dietary choices of student athletes. Our research has shown that among the factors that determine the healthy diet of athletes of various sports, the main ones are health, the character of the chosen sport, and the athlete’s body composition. Factors such as current trends, the popularity of the food consumed, and the influence of family and friends are less important. The athletes we studied noted their efforts to eat and live healthy, most of them were satisfied with their health and their body mass. A greater variety in respondents’ responses was observed when assessing the composition of food supplements, the impact of discount special offers on product selection. The responses received on adherence to the diet indicate that the athletes studied do not always observe the correct diet

This study analysed the seasonal variations in futsal players’ physical, physiological, and technical–tactical performance. Eight senior futsal players from the same team were monitored at three time points in the season (beginning of the preseason, middle of the first half of the season, and middle of the second half of the season). A progressive and intermittent shuttle-running test (the futsal intermittent endurance test) was applied to collect the following variables: maximum velocity, distance covered, total distance covered, test duration, initial heart rate, peak heart rate, peak blood lactate concentration, and rating of perceived exertion. In addition, different match-performance variables were assessed during a simulated futsal match (goals scored, shots on goal, successful passes, balls lost, balls recovered, and goals conceded). Results indicated that the physiological variables of initial heart rate (p<.001, η2=.862) and peak blood lactate concentration (p=.001, η2=.640) significantly varied over the course of the season. However, no significant differences were found in the physical and technical–tactical variables. This study has implications for sport practitioners; specifically, it emphasizes that preseason and in-season training load periodization enhances the physiological fitness of top-level futsal players, although their physical and technical–tactical performance remained relatively stable.

The aim of this study was to categorize various physical, physiological, and psychological variables that discriminated among Indian elite male athletes participating in endurance sports (Group A, n=34, age=16.88±2.44 years), combat sports (Group B, n=35, age=17.40±1.37 years) and skill sports (Group C, n=34, age= 8.91±2.24 years) and non-athletic control group (Group D, N=33, years=18.48±2.03 years). Physical parameters included height, body weight, body fat percentage, lean body mass, muscle content, and total water content. Physiological parameters included heart rate variability and maximal aerobic power (VO2 max) measured using the Astrand protocol. Various psychological parameters were evaluated using Big Five Inventory and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory questionnaires. Discriminant analysis revealed three significant functions (P<0.05) contributing 65.7%, 25.8%, and 8.5% respectively to the model. After cross-validation, the resulting equation correctly classified 72.8% of endurance, combat, skill athletes, and control group. Total thirteen variables significantly (P<0.05) contributed to the discriminant analysis. The interpretation of the acquired discriminant functions was also based on the examination of the structure coefficients greater than 0.30. The athletes and control were discriminated mainly on VO2 max (structure coefficient, SC=0.741) in Function 1, body weight (SC=0.424), Lean body mass (SC=0.430), and muscle content (SC=0.574). This model substantiates the fact that elite male athletes show physical and physiological differences because of the different training regimens in their respective sports that conditioned them differently. In conclusion, these discriminant models could help in athlete’s induction, talent identification process and improving training programs.

Foam rolling is frequently implemented in warm-up prior to an exercise session. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of a short bout of foam rolling on maximal knee flexion strength along with active and passive hamstring flexibility. Methods: Fourteen healthy young participants were included in this within-subject randomized controlled trial. After warm-up a short bout (two sets of 60 s) of foam rolling was performed on the intervention leg (counterbalanced leg dominance) while the contralateral leg was used as a control. Measurement of peak knee flexion torque and hamstring passive and active range of motion were performed on both sides in counterbalanced order. An analysis of variance was conducted to evaluate differences between the two groups. Results: Our results did not show significant differences between the intervention and control leg for any of the assessed parameters. Conclusion: The main findings are that a short bout of foam rolling does not affect maximal knee flexion strength and that the foam rolling intervention does not further affect flexibility although hamstring passive flexibility increases following a warm-up. Based on our results we conclude that short bouts of foam rolling can be used prior to exercise, as they have no deleterious effect on muscle performance. Foam rolling before exercise should be recommended solely based on individual preference.

The present study explored the external load in professional soccer players throughout the extent of a full competitive season using GPS tracking technology. Twenty-seven male players were categorized based on their playing position: (1) central defenders (n=5), (2) full-backs (n=4), (3) midfielders (n=9), (4) wingers (n=3), and (5) forwards (n=6). Their physical performance was analyzed and interpreted as the overall external load over the extent of 36 competition recordings and 169 recordings of training sessions from up to 5 days prior to match day (i.e., MD-5, MD-4, MD-3, MD-2 and MD-1). The data were collected only from outfield players (excluding goalkeepers) who participated in >90min of total duration in official games and were analyzed with the use of a 10-Hz GPS tracking device (WIMUPRO, RealTrack Systems Almeria, Spain). The results indicated match days minus three and four as the sessions with the highest intensities and physical demands, with no significant differences between the two days. Significant differences in high-speed running and sprint distance were observed between central defenders and full-backs during matches and training sessions. These results would benefit practitioners in designing the annual plan of professional soccer teams and allow for proper monitoring of the external load based on the players’ playing position.

The regularities in the dynamics of the physical development of the female organism and the changes that occur in it led to problems in the manifestation of motor qualities at different ages. The study aims to optimize the training process of U12, U14, and U16 basketball players by revealing the factor structure and identifying the main factors of physical development and sports fitness in different age groups. Specialized literature was analyzed to carry out the research, and a test battery for sports-pedagogical testing was used, according to Borukova (2021). 173 female basketball players were studied. The results showed a change in the factor models of physical development and the specific performance with age increasing. The factor components with the most significant weight for the U12 are the anthropometric characteristics, for the U14 are the technical basketball skills, while for the U16, the height is a prerequisite for more outstanding achievements in the maximum vertical jump. The rearrangement of the features in the integral factor structure of the sports preparedness enables the coaches to optimize the training process for the U12, U14, and U16 female basketball players.

Investigating of the athletes’ motivation for sports practice is necessary to encourage them to participate in sport, and continue exercising. During the Covid-19 pandemic period due to changes in athletes’ routines, the role of motivation to play sports could be even more important. The research aimed to determine the motivation structure for sports practice in football players with the help of factor analysis. The sample of respondents consisted of 360 professional football players (21.71±4.42 years) from the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A questionnaire on motivation for sports during the Covid-19 pandemic period was used, consisting of 18 items related to motivation to play sports and modified according to the Participation Motivation Questionnaire (PMQ). A five-point Likert scale was used in the questionnaire. The questionnaire was in electronic form and was sent to the football players via Google form. Factor analysis identified six dimensions: ‘Sport success’, ‘Support’, ‘Social status’, ‘Friendship’, ‘Physical health’, and ‘Sports activities’. These six dimensions explain the total manifest motivation participation space with 62.26% of the total variance. In conclusion, this study contributed to the understanding of the motivational structure of professional football players for playing sports. That is, the main motivational dimensions for engaging and committing to sports during the Covid-19 pandemic were singled out. This all points to the importance of this research and may serve future studies that will examine the motivational structure of professional athletes.
Health Investments to Reduce Health Inequities in India: Do We Need More Evidence?
Authors: Gupta Indrani , Ranjan Avantika
Published: October 2022

Large inequities in health outcomes and treatment-seeking behaviour continue to exist in India, across households, states and residence. A few large populous states continue to contribute the most to multi-dimensional poverty, including indicators for health outcomes. A significant contributor is the high out-of-pocket spending that continues to be a key feature of India’s health sector, accompanied by one of the lowest levels of public investment on health. The COVID pandemic has brought out sharply the lack of preparedness of the country and its states to face a catastrophe of this kind. A resilient health sector can only be built by bridging the various gaps in key inputs into the sector – infrastructure, personnel, supplies and training. This investment is likely to bring down the demand for health services in the private sector and reduce spending on health services by households by making these affordable and accessible. A quantum jump in investment would also be required to offer health coverage that is truly universal in scope and coverage. Unless that happens, India would remain unprepared for the next calamity and continue with significant inequalities in health outcomes and access to services.
Situating Hadis’ Occupation and Caste: Exclusionary Journey from Manual Workers to Sanitation Workers in India
Authors: Ziyauddin K.M.
Published: October 2022

This essay is an outcome of a long ethnographic account of an occupational group that remains low-paid, polluting in nature, and historically considered menial. In India, various names are used to refer to the people, but they are called Hadi/Hari caste in Bokaro, Jharkhand state. The essay examines the exclusionary process deeply rooted due to the occupational association with sanitation, cleaning of toilets, and all work that is not carried out by other castes and communities. The oral histories of the Hadi community brought in by intensive fieldwork demonstrate how occupational association brings a different level of social status by changing the workplace. In the last two hundred years (somewhat after 1802 A.D.), this community has not found the fruit of change that many other deprived groups could receive in reality; instead, they live in a dilemma to be urban but consistently remain at the margin. Further, there has not been a single study locating Hadis as one of the most marginalized and discriminated caste groups and they are never addressed in the policy framework except a few1 on the same caste groups of Chas town2 in Jharkhand. The services of Hadis played a pivotal role in the life of the new township in the sixties. Nevertheless, where and how they survived over a few decades is examined in India this research. Sociologically, communities and occupational groups like Hadis find an apt example of discrimination and exclusion even in twenty-first century India.
Social Inequities in Private Health Sector Workforce in India: Religion, Caste, Class, and Gender
Authors: Baru Rama V. , Zafar Seemi
Published: October 2022

The health workforce is hierarchical in structure in terms of skill mix and social composition. Most of the studies on the health workforce are focused on the number of personnel in the public sector. The private sector that has a large presence employs a significant percentage of the total health work force but there is little reliable data on the numbers involved. This is largely due to the lack of regulation of the private health services. Apart from the numbers involved in both the sectors, a few studies have shown the relationship between the work and social hierarchy in health services. While the public sector has a more diverse mix of social backgrounds due to affirmative policies, the private sector ownership is mostly dominated by an upper and middle caste-class combine. There is an under-representation of minorities and women as owners of private health services. The gendered nature of work is visible with the middle and lower rungs constituted by mostly women and men from lower caste-class combine. The terms of work, working conditions and wages paid for this category of workers amounts to exploitation with no forum for redressal. This essay draws together some primary work and references to secondary research and anecdotal evidences to build the scenario of social inequities among the workforce in the private health services.

Published: October 2022

This essay traces the impact of the Corona pandemic during 2020–21 and issues related to stigma, prejudices, marginalization as well as virulent forms of social inequality that arose thereafter. Social distancing fortified boundary maintenance on social, economic and even ethnic lines. The role of media during the spread of the Corona pandemic left a lot to be desired, especially in the portrayal of the marginalised groups. Had it acted responsibly, not only would the world have been able to grasp the do’s and don’ts pertaining to precautions with due diligence, the world would have been more harmonious and many fatalities could perhaps have been avoided.
Being Insider-Outsider: Public Policy, Social Identity, and Delivery of Healthcare Services in India
Authors: Pal G. C.
Published: October 2022

Abstract

The pivotal role of community level workers in the delivery of public services is well-recognized. But, they often fail to provide equal opportunities to all ‘eligible’ beneficiaries to utilize a variety of public services. Although several predisposing household factors are held responsible for inequalities in access to the public services, in recent times, one factor that has been recognised as critical to such unequal access to public services is the ‘exclusionary nature of social relations’ based on social identity embedded in the social life of village community. It is also argued that certain sections of the population are deprived of equal access to public services due to their social identity, which is different from service providers. However, the question remains–whether it is the social identity of users or providers of public services that is critical to unequal access to various services? What will be the extent of utilization of public services when the social identity of both users and providers of the services remain same? Do the social dynamics of the community life play any role in the delivery of public services? This essay addresses these questions in the context of delivery of integrated nutrition and healthcare services at the community level under the largest national flagship scheme of Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS). Drawing evidence from a larger sample survey of over 4000 household beneficiaries and 200 service providers, the essay sheds light on how the delivery of healthcare services is fraught with social injustice due to dominant socio-cultural norms around social identity despite the values of healthcare centres to cater to the health needs of all sections of society.

The Self-Shrinking Conflation Generator: A Proposed Improvement to the Self-Shrinking Generator
Authors: Stanica Pantelimon , Kanth Vikram , Martinsen Thor
Published: October 2022

The backbone of many cybersecurity applications and algorithms require random numbers.  One of the most commonly used pseudo-random number generators is the Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR), which is fast, computationally inexpensive, and has excellent statistical properties. Unfortunately LFSRs have a number of weaknesses, some of which were addressed by decimation-based sequence generators such as the self-shrinking generator (SSG). Regrettably, the SSG was also found to be vulnerable to attack. In this paper, we propose an improvement to the SSG called the self-shrinking conflation generator (SSCG).  Our approach is based on the observation that what is discarded during the self-shrinking process of the SSG, is from a cryptographic perspective, just as good as that which is kept.  By combining the bits the SSG would normally discard with those it retains, using the exclusive OR (XOR) operation, we create a modified SSG bitstream with several improved characteristics. To highlight these improvements, we provide some mathematical security analysis associated with this approach, apply the NIST statistical test suite to several different bitstreams created using LFSRs driven by different degree primitive polynomials, and compare our results to that of the SSG.
TRIHALOMETHANES REMOVAL FROM DRINKING WATER BY HEATING: A CASE STUDY

Trihalomethanes (THMs) specially Chloroform is the most significant and well-known by-products of chlorine disinfection. In light of the alleged carcinogenic effects of THMs in drinking water, the goal of this study was to investigate the consequences of heating the chlorinated water, to lower its THM content, if any, in the drinking water of Dhaka. In this experiment, three individual samples from three separate locations in the same water supply system were investigated in 2019. Chloroform concentrations decreased noticeably (from 42% to 100%) due to heating during the trials. The results revealed that in sample 1, chloroform decreased from 199 to 79.7 20 μg/l (60% removal) after one minute of boiling of water, to 20 μg/l (90% elimination) after two minutes, and finally to 0 μg/l (100% removal) after three minutes. The comparable reductions in samples 2 and 3 were also similar: 70 to 24.5 μg/l (65% removal), 8.5 μg/l (88% removal), and zero μg/l (100% removal) and 153 to 89 μg/l (41.83% removal), 41 μg/l (73.2% removal), and to 40 μg/l (73.86% removal). According to experimental findings, if THM precursors and chlorine residuals are present, there may be a further considerable synthesis of THMs during the heating of drinking water. The generation and volatilization rates of THMs were responsible for the overall fluctuation in THM content in water during heating. Temperature and reaction time were major determinants of the rate of THMs synthesis, in addition to the amounts of THMs precursors and residual chlorine.
