Cancer cachexia and dysphagia: a systematic literature review
Authors: Leahy Mark
Published: September 2024

Background: Dysphagia is a difficulty in swallowing. Cancer cachexia is a generalised muscle loss disorder common in patients with late-stage disease. The prevalence of dysphagia in patients with head and neck cancer is well documented. However, it is postulated that cancer cachexia can, through systemic muscle loss, cause weakening of swallowing muscles and dysphagia. This review aimed to evaluate the scope of the association between cancer cachexia (excluding head and neck cancer) and dysphagia.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA P guidelines. PubMed and Embase databases were searched for papers including terms related to (1) cancer, (2) cachexia and (3) dysphagia. Results were imported to Zotero software manager, where duplicates were removed. The remaining articles were screened using pre-determined eligibility criteria. Eligible papers were retained for data extraction, data synthesis and narrative synthesis. Risk of bias was evaluated using the CASP cohort and case control tools.
Results: Four studies met the eligibility criteria. These papers reported an association between cancer cachexia and dysphagia, with odds ratios of 2.1 [P=0.033] and 1.8 [P=0.018]. Prevalence of dysphagia was 16% higher in cancer patients with cachexia.
Conclusion: These findings suggest a positive association between cancer cachexia and dysphagia. However, due to the limited number of papers included, their heterogeneity and their limitations, it is difficult to draw a robust conclusion. Sarcopenia or neurodegenerative disease may have contributed to these results. Regardless, these four studies support the requirement for dysphagia assessment in patients with cancers outside swallow regions.

Materialien zur Geschichte der österreichischen Grundrechte
Authors: Neschwara Christian
Published: September 2024

Die Entstehung des StGG und sein Fortwirken bis heute Mit Wiederherstellung der 1848 für Ungarn erlassenen konstitutionellen Verfassung nach Zustandekommen des Ausgleichs zu Jahresbeginn 1867 sah sich der österreichische Reichsrat veranlasst, auch für die cisleithanischen Länder eine Rückkehr zu früheren konstitutionellen Konzepten anzubahnen. Der zu diesem Zweck vom Abgeordnetenhaus eingesetzte Verfassungsausschuss folgte dabei dem Vorbild der mit Oktroi vom Kaiser in Geltung gesetzten Reichsverfassung 1849. Der deutschliberale Abgeordnete Eduard Sturm, ein Anwalt aus der mährischen Landeshauptstadt Brünn wurde dazu bestimmt, den Entwurf für einen Grundrechte-Katalog auszuarbeiten. Nach Überarbeitung seines "Ur-Entwurfs" durch ein Subkomitee des Verfassungsausschusses blieben im Wesentlichen jene Grundrechte Bestandteil des vom Reichsrat im Dezember 1867 beschlossenen Staatsgrundgesetzes (StGG) über die allgemeinen Rechte der Staatsbürger, welche auch 1849 schon in Geltung standen. Sturm notierte auf einem Blatt mit Notizen über die Ergebnisse der Verhandlungen lapidar: "Alles 1849"!
Die Zurechnung von Staatsakten zu den Staatsgewalten
Authors: Jantscher Reinhard
Published: September 2024

Grundlagenforschung mit bedeutsamen Ergebnissen Die Staatsgewalten besitzen im österreichischen Recht eine wichtige rechtstechnische Funktion. Zahlreiche Normen knüpfen in ihrem Tatbestand an die Zurechnung von Staatsakten zu bestimmten Staatsgewalten an. Im Mittelpunkt steht das Problem, inwiefern Akte Verwaltungsorganen als "verlängerter Arm" der Gerichtsbarkeit (auch als abgeleitete richterliche Hilfstätigkeiten bezeichnet) zugerechnet werden. Besonders praxisrelevant ist die Frage, wann solche Akte der Verwaltung und wann diese der Gerichtsbarkeit zuzurechnen sind für den Rechtsschutz im strafrechtlichen Ermittlungsverfahren sowie im Kartellrecht. Die dazu ergangene, umfangreiche Rechtsprechung wird hier erstmals vollständig aufgearbeitet. Schließlich wird die herrschende Meinung aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln kritisch hinterfragt und ein Konzept, das besser im System des B-VG liegen würde, vorgeschlagen.
Petrographic Variations in the Deccan Basalt Lava Flows of Rajura Volcanics, central India: Textural Implications
Authors: Deshmukh M. S.
Published: September 2024

The present study encompasses petrographic variations in simple Deccan basaltic lava flows of the Rajura volcanics, central India. The Deccan basalt lava flows entirely covered the area and exposed in the form of moderate hillocks. During geological fieldwork, flows are identified and differentiated based on mineral content, relative grain size, presence of phenocrysts, and red bole horizons. Flow mapping reveals three basalt lava flows: mafic plagioclase microphyric basalt, phyric basalt, and plagioclase mafic microphyric basalt. The petrographic study of the lava flows was carried out to understand the mineralogy, textural patterns, crystallization, and genetic significance of the lava flows. The result indicates dominant plagioclase and clinopyroxene minerals with opaques exhibit porphyritic, glameroporphyritic, ophitic, and sub-ophitic textures. The petrographic variations are due to the combination of several factors like gravitational sinking of phenocryst, low viscosity, and slow rate of effusion of lava flows, as described by earlier workers. Plagioclase occurs as phenocrysts and in the groundmass phase, indicating early crystallization of phenocryst followed by crystallization of groundmass. The petrographic studies are further useful to correlate the lava flows exposed in different hillocks of the area.

It is also worth noting that the conclusions of the cosmological parameter are consistent with modern observational data.
Re-imagining Chemistry Laboratory Experiments by using Natural Pigments– Fostering Chemistry Students towards Sustainability
Authors: Das S. S. , Bhagawati B.
Published: September 2024

Green Chemistry and Sustainability are the two widely used concepts in the present-day Higher Education Chemistry curriculum. This paper issues a call for action for chemistry instructors to build stronger connections in the chemistry curriculum to sustainability. An acid-base titration is a commonly used experiment in undergraduate laboratories where synthetic indicators are generally used to locate the endpoint by observing the color change. In this paper, the ability of aqueous extracts of Lagerstroemia speciosa (locally known as Azar) as a natural indicator was investigated by using it instead of commonly used synthetic acid-base or neutralization indicators like Phenolphthalein, Methyl Orange, etc. The natural acid-base indicators are non-toxic, easily available, cost-effective, and environmentally benign. This inquiry-based investigation project can raise the standard of chemistry education while preserving local resources that can be used to address today's sustainability challenges. Thus, by considering several interconnected challenges to identify sustainable solutions that can be adopted in both higher secondary school and undergraduate chemistry education, such studies will enrich students' understanding of chemistry.
Carboxymethyl Cellulose/Poly(Acrylamide-co-Vinyl Imidazole) Based Self-healing Hydrogel for Supercapacitor Applications and Moisture Determination (Part-II)
Authors: Dubey D. , Bajpai S. K. , Bajpai M.
Published: September 2024

Physical entanglements between carboxymethyl cellulose chains and poly(acrylamide-co-vinyl imidazole) have resulted in a unique solid hydrogel electrolyte (SHE) material with highly controllable properties. The SHE showed an excellent self-healing property, as confirmed by the "LED glowing" experiment, and the 'self-healed 'material recovered 78 % of its original elongation capacity. The freshly prepared SHE, when put on the copper surface, required a detachment pressure (DP) of 864 Pa, while a fairly high DP of 8909 Pa was required after 24 h of contact. The SHE sample was highly flexible and regained its shape after knotting, folding, and twisting. The hydrogel also exhibited shape memory property. Finally, the samples SHE-I   and SHE-IV (containing 0 and 4 mL glycerol per 40 mL of film forming solution) were charged using a 12-volt supercapacitor for 2 min and then employed to glow LED bulb as well as run alarm clock. It was found that sample SHE-I was able to glow the LED bulb for almost 55 min, while sample SHE-IV successfully lit the LED for almost 357 min. Similarly, a small alarm clock was run by the two SHE systems for 118 and 838 min, respectively.
An SVM Classifier-based Speed Control and Soft Starting Method for a Three-Phase Induction Motor
Authors: R V S Ram Krishna
Published: September 2024

Three-phase induction motors are extremely popular and almost ubiquitous in industrial applications. Issues related to starting and speed control of these motors are of great importance in performance determination. This paper presents the speed control of a 3-phase induction motor using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) based classifier. A thyristorised voltage controller regulates the motor speed by utilizing the speed-voltage proportionality. Input to the controller is a multiclass SVM classifier that has been trained to estimate the appropriate firing angle '‘α'’ for the desired torque-speed combination. A soft starter is also included in the model and, as demonstrated, gives a proper time variation to '‘α'’. The simulation findings show that the soft starter's progressive increase in the motor supply voltage significantly reduces the amplitude and the pulsating nature of the starting current and Torque of the motor. The performance of the SVM controller and the soft starter at various torque speed combinations are evaluated on the model and found to be satisfactory.
Anisotropic Bianchi type VI0 Space-Time with Barotropic Fluid in Sáez - Ballester Theory of Gravitation
Authors: Kumawat P. , Goyal R. , Choudhary S.
Published: September 2024

In this paper, we have discussed the exact solution of Einstein's field equations for anisotropic Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the framework of the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation given by Sáez–Ballester for barotropic fluid distribution. To obtain an exact solution, we have assumed that expansion (θ) is proportional to shear (σ) which leads to A =Bk, where k is a constant A and B are metric potentials and also assumed barotropic condition p = γρ; (0 ≤ γ ≤ 1) where p being isotropic pressure and ρ is matter density. Some physical and geometrical properties of the model are also discussed.

Authors: Asgar M. E. , Singholi A. K. S.
Published: September 2024

When utilising traditional machining processes, convincing and competent processing with ultra precision of superalloys are highly difficult and stiff task. Accordingly, the authors recognised a need for non-conventional machining (NCM) for processing of alloy 718 (other name ‘Inconel 718’ or UNS N07718) using wire electric discharge machining (WEDM). L16 Taguchi’s orthogonal array has been utilised for preferred design of experiment. Pulse on duration (Ton), pulse off duration (Toff), wire speed (Uw), and current (I) has been selected as control factors to study the effects of performance. Material removal rate (MRR), Kerf Width (KW) and Surface Roughness (SR) has been assessed as an output performance. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is also performed and found that I has the greatest influence on MRR while Uw is lowest, with contribution of 47.11 % and 6.05 % respectively. For KW, Toff is greatest influential factor while I is lowest, with contribution of 35.39 % and 4.35 %. For SR, Ton is greatest influential factor while Toff is lowest, with contribution 87.8 % and 3.27 %. Also error between the actual and predicted values is below 5 %. For MRR, the error is 4.20 % while for KW and SR, it is 0.31 % and 2.21 % indicating close alignment with the achieved value.
Bianchi Type-V Dark Energy Cosmological Model in f(R,T) Theory of Gravitation
Authors: Gaikwad S. , Mule K. R.
Published: September 2024

The spatially homogenous and anisotropic Bianchi type-V dark energy cosmological model has been examined in the context of  f(R,T) gravity with an appropriate choice of the function f(R,T). To obtain a deterministic solution, the fact that shear scalar σ is proportional to the scalar expansion θ is taken into consideration, which results in a relationship between metric potentials B = Cn. The mathematical condition that EoS parameter ω is proportional to skewness parameter δ is also used. The derived cosmological is free from initial singularity i.e. at t = 0. The main objective behind this paper is to explore some physically significant discussions on the evolution of the universe. Some crucial cosmological parameters of this model are also discussed. The spatial volume increase with cosmic time t, confirming accelerated expansion of the universe. Positive value of Hubble parameter indicates that the universe is expanding gradually. EoS parameter has a negative sign, which is in agreement with recent observations. Positive value of deceleration parameter shows that our model decelerates in the standard way. Pressure of dark energy is negative as we desire and it vanishes in large time limit. The significance of statefinder and jerk parameters  are discussed to differentiate our model from other dark energy models.

Published: September 2024

Reports of seabirds attacking marine mammals have become frequent in the 2000s. Southern right whales Eubalaena australis off Península Valdés (PV), Argentina, have suffered the effects of micropredation by kelp gulls Larus dominicanus since at least the 1970s. During 2003-2013, this population experienced 9 yr of unprecedented high calf mortality. Using a 25 yr dataset (1995-2019) of focal follows of gull-whale interactions, we studied long-term changes in gull attack intensity (attacks h-1) and frequency, and explored whether they influenced calf mortality. We also asked whether calf mortality was affected by prey density at maternal feeding grounds during gestation. Applying Bayesian models, we found that the intensity and frequency of attacks increased significantly from 1995 to the 2000s, and that in 2004-2019, calves received 2.85 times as many attacks as did mothers. Moreover, attacks significantly contributed to increase the probability of calves dying, such that a year with average overall harassment had 2.26 times the mortality of a hypothetical year with no attacks. In years of high intensity and frequency of attacks, many older calves died near the end of the season, probably reflecting the cumulative effect of gull harassment on calf health. However, calf mortality was not affected by prey density, and extremely high mortality was not related to extremely high frequency or intensity of attacks, indicating that deaths are also influenced by other unidentified factors. These findings imply that chronic micropredation contributed to the unprecedented high calf mortality observed in PV and that other marine mammal populations experiencing seabird attacks could be threatened.
Advances in Radionuclide Therapies for Neuroendocrine Tumor Liver Metastases
Authors:   , Ebbers Sander Cornelis
Published: September 2024

Treating neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases is challenging, and extensive liver disease significantly impacts patient prognosis. Among various treatments, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with lutetium-177-DOTATATE and radioembolization are used for inoperable cases. This thesis explores ways to enhance the effectiveness of these therapies.
First, a randomized controlled trial (LUTIA) investigated intra-arterial injection of lutetium-177-DOTATATE into the hepatic artery. While safe, it showed no improvement in radiopharmaceutical uptake by liver metastases compared to standard administration. Second, a faster infusion protocol (5 minutes versus 30 minutes) for intravenous lutetium-177-DOTATATE was deemed safe without additional side effects.
Third, two PET/CT parameters derived from gallium-68-somatostatin receptor imaging pre- and post-PRRT (SSTR-tumor volume and total lesion-SSTR) were significantly associated with time-to-new-treatment, though changes in these parameters did not predict time-to-new-treatment. Fourth, in a cohort treated with yttrium-90 radioembolization, a dose-response relationship was identified, recommending a minimum tumor dose of 150 Gy for optimal tumor response.
Fifth, a study on residual activity in the administration system post-yttrium-90 radioembolization revealed minimal residual activity with thorough flushing. Lastly, combining PRRT and radioembolization using holmium-166 was found to be safe, showing comparable hematotoxicity to historical data.

Present work investigates local electronic structure of MgO films under irradiation of 100 MeV oxygen ions. MgO thin films of different thicknesses are grown using radio frequency sputtering. Near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), measurements in surface sensitive, total electron yield (TEY) and bulk sensitive, total fluorescence yield (TFY) modes were performed at both O K-edge and Mg K-edges for pristine and irradiated counterpart. TFY measurements at both Mg K-edge and O K-edges for MgO thin films reflect the spectral features associated with hybridization among Mg2+ and O2- ions. These spectral features are analogues to that of bulk MgO. TEY mode Mg K and O K-edge NEXAFS spectra exhibit slightly reduced spectral features, which may be due to weakening of Mg-O hybridization at surface or some possible contamination of environmental species. The local electronic structure of these films under irradiation modifies slightly.

Published: September 2024

Urinary cell-free DNA (UcfDNA) is gaining recognition as an important biomarker for diagnosing bladder cancer. UcfDNA contains tumor derived DNA sequences, making it a viable candidate for non-invasive early detection, diagnosis, and surveillance of bladder cancer. The quantification and qualification of UcfDNA have demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in the molecular characterization of bladder cancer. However, precise analysis of UcfDNA for clinical bladder cancer diagnosis remains challenging. This review summarizes the history of UcfDNA discovery, its biological properties, and the quantitative and qualitative evaluations of UcfDNA for its clinical significance and utility in bladder cancer patients, emphasizing the critical role of UcfDNA in bladder cancer diagnosis. Emerging bioactive technologies and materials currently offer promising tools for multiple UcfDNA analysis, aiming to achieve more precise and efficient capture of UcfDNA, thereby significantly enhancing diagnostic accuracy. This review also highlights breakthroughs in detection technologies and substrates with the potential to revolutionize bladder cancer diagnosis in clinic.
Predicting attentional lapses using response time speed in continuous performance tasks

Published: September 2024

Failures of sustained attention, including lapses and mind-wandering, have serious consequences on cognitive task performance. In recent years, real-time triggering methods have been used to isolate periods of optimal and suboptimal attention based on patterns of response times in monotonous continuous performance tasks. In a closed-loop fashion, these triggering designs reduce the need for retrospective processing to identify periods of poor attention by using simple intrasubject response time boundaries to trigger events based on inferred attentional state. In the current review, we first discuss studies that used principal component analysis to identify response patterns that precede both task errors and phenomenological reports of mind-wandering. Then, we review designs that used real-time triggering conditions to reinforce the relationship between lapsing and memory encoding. Finally, we describe important next steps to generalize the utility of the triggering procedure across populations, validate lapse countermeasures, and shine light on the limited human capacity to maintain vigilance.

The modern zoo relies on the persistence of genetically and physiologically healthy populations of endangered species, which is enabled through breeding programmes globally and regionally. Many species commonly held in zoos are poorly studied in the wild, leading to a lack of in-depth knowledge surrounding breeding behaviours and subsequent parental behaviours and early life development of young. Knowledge of this information is critical to make informed management decisions which promote successful rearing of young in zoos. While the critically endangered Sumatran tiger is popular in zoos, rates of cub survival in the first 5 months are lower than 50%, highlighting the need for scientific evidence driving management decisions. This study monitors nursing and cub grooming behaviours in a first-time mother Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) and her cubs throughout four stages of cub development. The social proximity of cubs and dam were recorded to describe social interactions within the group throughout cub aging. A series of Friedman tests and post-hoc tests found significant decreases in both cub grooming (χ2 (3, N = 96) = 14.20, p < 0.01) and nursing (χ2 (3, N = 96) = 25.77, p < 0.001) behaviours between the birth and weaning of the cubs, as well as within different phases of cub development between those times. Cub-to-cub proximity was maintained from birth to weaning, with cubs spending significant amounts of time in close proximity (within one adult body length) of each other (χ2 (3, N = 96) = 15.231, p = 0.001) throughout the study. The dam was found to spend significantly less time with the cubs as they reached weaning age (χ2 (3, N = 96) = 27.88, p < 0.001). These results are thought to be the first of their kind to detail timings of cub development and early life socialisation, providing evidence for timing of first food provision to young and promote the provision of space for the dam to spend time away from the cubs, while allowing the cubs to become confident, mobile, and independent.
How does interpersonal curiosity impact peer rejection? The mediating effect of relative deprivation and malicious envy
Authors: He Jiali , Liu Hanshu
Published: September 2024

Objective

Peer rejection is one of the key indicators for measuring interpersonal relationships among adolescents. Considering that interpersonal curiosity plays a significant role in interpersonal relationships, however, the influence of interpersonal curiosity on peer rejection is still unknown. This study is grounded in social comparison theory and aims to investigate the impact of adolescent interpersonal curiosity on peer rejection. The study explores the impact of interpersonal curiosity on peer rejection and further investigates the mediating role of relative deprivation and malicious envy.

Methods

The study employed the stratified cluster sampling method to select 418 adolescents in Shaanxi Province. The Adolescents' Relative Deprivation Scale was used to measure relative deprivation, the Benign and Malicious Envy Scale was used to measure benign envy and malicious envy, and the School Adaptation Inventory was used to measure peer rejection. The statistical software SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0 were used for statistical analysis, and the common method deviation test was conducted using the Harman single-factor control method. Finally, the bootstrap sampling method was used to test the significance of the intermediary effect.

Results

The results of the mediation model show that interpersonal curiosity can directly and positively affect peer rejection (β = 0.317, p < 0.001). Malicious envy plays a completely mediating role (b = 0.125, p < 0.001), while relative deprivation plays a partially mediating role (bdirect − path = 0.071, p = 0.004; bindirect − path = 0.064, p < 0.001). Further discovery of the chain mediation model shows that interpersonal curiosity can impact individual peer rejection through the chain mediation of relative deprivation and malicious envy (b = 0.026, p < 0.001), and there is no significant gender difference in this result.

Conclusion

Interpersonal curiosity can enhance peer rejection in adolescents, with relative deprivation and malicious envy completely mediating this process. This study reveals the impact of interpersonal curiosity on adolescents' peer rejection from the viewpoint of social comparison theory and provides a new perspective for fostering the formation and growth of positive peer relationships among adolescents.
