Convective Overshooting in Extreme Horizontal-branch Stars Using MESA with the k-omega Model*
Authors: Li 李 Zhi 志 , Li 李 Yan 焱
Published: December 2021

To explore overshoot mixing beyond the convective core in core helium-burning stars, we use the k−ω model, which is incorporated into the Modules of Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics to investigate overshoot mixing in the evolution of subdwarf B (sdB) stars. Our results show that the development of the convective core can be divided into three stages. The mass of the convective core increases monotonically when the radiative temperature gradient, ∇rad, monotonically decreases outwardly, and overshoot mixing presents an exponential decay similar to Herwig. The splitting of the convective core occurs repeatedly when the minimum value of ∇rad near the convective boundary is smaller than the adiabatic temperature gradient, ∇ad. The mass at the outer boundary of the convective shell M
sc can exceed 0.2 M
⊙ after the central helium abundance drops to about Y
c ≈ 0.45. It is close to the convective core masses derived by asteroseismology for younger models (0.22 to ∼0.28 M
⊙). In the final stage, “core breathing pulses” occurred two or three times. Helium was injected into the convective core by overshoot mixing and increased the lifetime of sdB stars. The mass of the mixed region M
mixed can rise to 0.303 M
⊙ by the end. The oxygen content in the central core of our g-mode sdB models is about 80% by mass. The high amounts of oxygen deduced from asteroseismology may be evidence supporting the existence of core breathing pulses.
Architecture of Planetary Systems Predicted from Protoplanetary Disks Observed with ALMA. I. Mass of the Possible Planets Embedded in the Dust Gap
Authors: Wang 汪 Shijie 士杰 , Kanagawa 金川 Kazuhiro D. 和弘 , Suto 須 Yasushi 藤靖
Published: December 2021

Recent ALMA observations have identified a variety of dust gaps in protoplanetary disks, which are commonly interpreted to be generated by unobserved planets. Predicting mass of such embedded planets is of fundamental importance in comparing those disk architectures with the observed diversity of exoplanets. The prediction, however, depends on the assumption that whether the same gap structure exists in the dust component alone or in the gas component as well. We assume a planet can only open a gap in the gas component when its mass exceeds the pebble isolation mass by considering the core-accretion scenario. We then propose two criteria to distinguish if a gap is opened in the dust disk alone or the gas gap as well when observation data on the gas profile is not available. We apply the criteria to 35 disk systems with a total of 55 gaps compiled from previous studies and classify each gap into four different groups. The classification of the observed gaps allows us to predict the mass of embedded planets in a consistent manner with the pebble isolation mass. We find that outer gaps are mostly dust alone, while inner gaps are more likely to be associated with a gas gap as well. The distribution of such embedded planets is very different from the architecture of the observed planetary systems, suggesting that significant inward migration is required in their evolution.
Spatially Separated Electron and Proton Beams in a Simulated Solar Coronal Jet
Authors: Pallister Ross , Wyper Peter F. , Pontin David I. , DeVore C. Richard , Chiti Federica
Published: December 2021

Magnetic reconnection is widely accepted to be a major contributor to nonthermal particle acceleration in the solar atmosphere. In this paper we investigate particle acceleration during the impulsive phase of a coronal jet, which involves bursty reconnection at a magnetic null point. A test-particle approach is employed, using electromagnetic fields from a magnetohydrodynamic simulation of such a jet. Protons and electrons are found to be accelerated nonthermally both downwards toward the domain’s lower boundary and the solar photosphere, and outwards along the axis of the coronal jet and into the heliosphere. A key finding is that a circular ribbon of particle deposition on the photosphere is predicted, with the protons and electrons concentrated in different parts of the ribbon. Furthermore, the outgoing protons and electrons form two spatially separated beams parallel to the axis of the jet, signatures that may be observable in in-situ observations of the heliosphere.

We study the ionization and excitation structure of the interstellar medium in the late-stage gas-rich galaxy merger NGC 6240 using a suite of emission-line maps at ∼25 pc resolution from the Hubble Space Telescope, Keck/NIRC2 with Adaptive Optics, and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). NGC 6240 hosts a superwind driven by intense star formation and/or one or both of two active nuclei; the outflows produce bubbles and filaments seen in shock tracers from warm molecular gas (H2 2.12 μm) to optical ionized gas ([O iii], [N ii], [S ii], and [O i]) and hot plasma (Fe XXV). In the most distinct bubble, we see a clear shock front traced by high [O iii]/Hβ and [O iii]/[O i]. Cool molecular gas (CO(2−1)) is only present near the base of the bubble, toward the nuclei launching the outflow. We interpret the lack of molecular gas outside the bubble to mean that the shock front is not responsible for dissociating molecular gas, and conclude that the molecular clouds are partly shielded and either entrained briefly in the outflow, or left undisturbed while the hot wind flows around them. Elsewhere in the galaxy, shock-excited H2 extends at least ∼4 kpc from the nuclei, tracing molecular gas even warmer than that between the nuclei, where the two galaxies’ interstellar media are colliding. A ridgeline of high [O iii]/Hβ emission along the eastern arm aligns with the southern nucleus’ stellar disk minor axis; optical integral field spectroscopy from WiFeS suggests this highly ionized gas is centered at systemic velocity and likely photoionized by direct line of sight to the southern active galactic nucleus.

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: The high rate of stunting cases is a serious nutritious problem that still persists in Indonesia. The problem is potentially impactful on the quality of the country’s human resources.

AIM: This present study aimed to analyze the determinant factors of stunting cases in 24–59-month-old children in the working area of Puskesmas or Community Health Center in Kota Tengah, Gorontalo.

METHOD: The case-control survey analytical research involved a case population of 34 people and a control population of 34 people. All the participants were 24–59 months old. All case populations were treated as the research subject, while the control population was calculated based on the formula. A simple random sampling technique was employed to acquire the sample in the control group. The study involved independent variables of birth length, birth weight, provision of exclusive breastfeeding, and the number of siblings. Meanwhile, the dependent variable was the stunting cases in 24–59-month-old children. The data were analyzed by Chi-square (χ2) and multiple logistic regression statistical tests.

RESULTS: The bivariate analysis that used the Chi-square suggested that the birth length (0.001) < (0.05), birth weight (0.003) < (0.05), and provision of exclusive breastfeeding (0.000) < (0.05) were the factors of stunting cases. Meanwhile, parity (1.72) > (0.05) was not a factor of stunting. Moreover, the multivariate analysis involving multiple logistic regression tests indicated that the provision of exclusive breastfeeding (0.006) served as the determinant factor of stunting cases.

CONCLUSIONS: The provision of exclusive breastfeeding is the most significant determinant factor of stunting cases.

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Tongue cancer is one of the most common head and neck cancers in the world. Nowadays, natural compounds are important resources of many anti-cancer drugs. Venom from honey bees possesses potent anti-cancer activities. Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic drug that has been used for decades to treat cancer cells. Recently, combination therapy has been a popular treatment choice for cancer patients.

AIM: This study was conducted to evaluate the synergistic cytotoxic effect of honey bee venom (BV) and cisplatin on tongue squamous cell carcinoma 25 (SCC-25) cell lines.

METHODS: The cytotoxic effect was determined using methyl thiazol tetrazolium assay, microscopic examination, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and statistical analysis.

RESULTS: The findings revealed that the cytotoxic potential of the tested drugs on SCC-25 cells was dose-dependent. Microscopic examination showed that BV and cisplatin alone and in combination mainly produced apoptotic cell death. Regarding RT-PCR results, P53 and caspase-3 expression levels were significantly increased in SCC-25-treated cells (p = 0.0001).

CONCLUSION: The combined use of BV and cisplatin induced a marked synergistic cytotoxic effect on SCC-25 cell line.

Scientific and grey literature on invasive alien species (IAS) is conditioned by social, economic and political priorities, editorial preferences and species and ecosystem characteristics. This leads to knowledge gaps and mismatches between scientific research interests and management needs. We reviewed the literature on IAS management in Spain found in Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Dialnet to identify key deficiencies and priority research areas. The collected literature was classified, employing features describing formal aspects and content. We used bibliometric and keyword co-occurrence network analyses to assess the relationship between features and reveal the existence of additional topics. Most of the compiled documents (n = 388) were focused on terrestrial ecosystems and inland waters, whereas marine and urban ecosystems were under-represented. The literature was largely generic and not species-specific, focusing on raising awareness and proposing changes on current regulation as prominent approaches to prevent further introductions. The compiled authors exhibited many clear publishing preferences (e.g. language or document type), but less regarding target taxa. In addition, there was a strong association between species and the different features considered, especially between the methodological approach (e.g. review, field experiment) and the primary emphasis of study (i.e. basic/theoretical, applied or interdisciplinary). This indicates that research on IAS has had a strong species-specific focus. References about terrestrial species focused mainly on vascular plants, whereas references about inland waters were mostly on fishes and the giant reed (Arundo donax), which has been managed with partial success. Animal culling and plant removal were the most frequent eradication and small-scale control treatments, whereas the documents addressing wider spatial scales were largely theoretical. Consequently, the success of described treatments was largely uncertain. Spanish invasion science research has been occasionally innovative, incorporating novel technologies (e.g. species distribution modelling) and engaging society with citizen-science approaches. However, the ratio between basic/theoretical and applied studies indicates that more applied research/management is needed, especially in inland waters and marine ecosystems. We call for increasing effort in the effective dissemination of experience in IAS management to enhance current practical knowledge, including that of schemes undertaken by public agencies.

Published: December 2021

Two East Asian Lomariopsis (Lomariopsidaceae, Polypodiales) species, Lomariopsis moorei and Lomariopsis longini, which were previously misidentified as L. spectabilis, are here described as new species based on evidence from morphological characters and a molecular phylogeny. The two species differ from the three other described species in East Asia by their venation, pinna shapes, and perine morphology. A phylogeny based on a combined dataset of three chloroplast regions (rbcL+ rps4-trnS + trnL-L-F) showed that L. moorei and L. longini each formed a well-supported monophyletic group which was distantly related to both L. spectabilis and the other morphologically similar East Asian species, L. boninensis.

Published: December 2021

Oak lace bug (Corythucha arcuata) has continuously spread through Europe since its appearance in 2000, and it has become a dangerous pest of Quercus species in most countries. Despite of its high abundance in the surrounding countries it was found in West Ukraine only in 2020. During our investigation carried out in 2020 OLB was detected in all studied large forest patches of the Ukrainian part of the Carpathian Lowland. These were one of the newest distribution data from Ukraine after its appearance in the far coast of Black See near Yalta (South Ukraine). OLB most live on Q. robur and Q. petraea but in an orchard located near an infested forest patch we found infested sweet cherry (P. avium) trees, which is a new, formerly not mentioned cultivated host of the pest.

Authors: Kaur Kirandeep , Kannusamy Veena , Gurnani Bharat , Mouttapa Fredrick , Balakrishnan Logesh
Published: December 2021

Purpose:

To assess the prevalence of digital eye strain among children and extrapolate the association between knowledge, attitude, and practice patterns related to device use during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdowns.

Methods:

A cross-sectional, descriptive, questionnaire-based analysis was done to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice patterns related to digital device use among parents of children attending online classes.

Results:

A total of 305 responses were obtained. The most common reason for device use was online classes (288 children; 94.4%) and the most common mode was smartphone (263 children; 86.3%). The prevalence of digital eye strain was 64.6%. The mean knowledge score was 48.5 ± 5.1, the mean attitude score was 26.7 ± 4.9, and the mean practice score was 17.8 ± 3.5. The difference between knowledge, attitude, and practice scores among parents of children with and without glasses was not statistically significant (
P
= .580, .521, and .503, respectively). A direct correlation was found between the knowledge and practice scores (
P
= .002), but attitude scores did not show a significant correlation (
P
= .712).

Conclusions:

Digital devices have been a boon to continue education during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This study reveals a large knowledge gap among parents related to safe digital device use. Further, there is a need to adopt methods that would help spread awareness to the masses about the effects of excessive screen time in children in the form of digital eye strain and myopia and the corrective measures to avoid the same.

Published: December 2021

Portfolio selection problems are considered in the paper. The securities in the proposed problems are suggested to follow uncertain fractional differential equations which have memory characteristics. By introducing the left semi-deviation of the wealth, two problems are proposed. One is to maximize the expected value and minimize the left semi-variance of the wealth. The other is to maximize the expected value of the wealth with a chance constraint that the left semi-deviation of the wealth is not less than a given number at a confidence level. The problems are equivalent to determinant ones which will be solved by genetic algorithm. Examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Authors: El Ammari Alonso Sel·lam
Published: December 2021

La interjección הֶאָח aparece nueve veces en la BH. Es una vocalización que expresa la alegría por la desgracia ajena y que busca escarnecer a un objetivo, ya sea un individuo o un colectivo pertenecientes al propio grupo social del emisor o no. En consonancia con las teorías sociales del humor, que se centran fundamentalmente en la función hostil de la risa, se observa que הֶאָח refleja onomatopéyicamente un tipo particular de risa que puede ser socialmente «abrasiva» o «lubricante». Se enumeran aquí las apariciones de esta interjección en el texto bíblico, analizándola a la luz de los estudios sociológicos sobre el humor humillante y ofreciendo algunas conclusiones.

Published: December 2021

Teachers play a key role in implementing entrepreneurship education; however, little attention has been paid to teachers' perceptions of entrepreneurship education and factors affecting these perceptions. The objective of this chapter is to narrow this research gap by investigating the impact of organizational strategy and school leadership on a teacher's perceptions of entrepreneurship in teaching. This chapter explores the impact of a teacher's own entrepreneurial background and entrepreneurship training on these perceptions. The data consist of 1,119 answers from Finnish higher education institute (HEI) teachers. Findings show that managerial practices in the HEI in supporting entrepreneurship education have a positive impact on the teachers' perceptions. Additionally, a teacher's entrepreneurial background and entrepreneurship training play a role in shaping the teacher's perceptions of the importance of entrepreneurship education. Universities can become more entrepreneurial by developing management practices that support the implementation of entrepreneurship education.

Published: December 2021

Blockchain is a distributed decentralized peer-to-peer network aiming to facilitate the immutability and security of data. Towards the service orientation, blockchain is a collection of distributed blocks having unique hash codes without any point of failure. Each block is stored on distributed ledgers, and transactions with them are secure, transparent, immutable, and traceable. To create a new block and allow a transaction to complete, an agreement between all parties is required. To reach an agreement in a blockchain network, consensus algorithms are used. In this chapter, fundamental principles and algorithms of blockchain networks have been discussed, and a detailed review of the blockchain consensus algorithms PoW, PoS, DPoS, PoET, PoWeight, PoB, PoA, and PoC have been provided including the merits and demerits of consensus algorithms with analysis to provide a deep understanding of the current research trends and future challenges.

Introdução: enfermagem é reconhecida e consolidada como uma profissão de base científica e do cuidado. Legalmente disciplinada pela Lei n° 7.498/1986 que não evidencia completamente as aspirações do corpo profissional da enfermagem. A conquista e as reinvindicações profissionais dependem da organização efetiva dos profissionais, em consonância com as entidades representativas. É necessário o desenvolvimento de estudos que evidenciem os movimentos internos à profissão para a sua qualificação, da formação ao exercício profissional. Objetivo: analisar a importância das jornadas catarinenses de enfermagem para a formação e capacitação contínua à consolidação profissional. Método: estudo histórico, qualitativo e documental que utilizou fontes referentes às jornadas catarinenses de enfermagem entre 1972/1982. Resultados: As temáticas abrangem o panorama de saúde no estado, as políticas de saúde, criação do Conselho Profissional, o código de ética, remuneração e trabalho da enfermagem. Considerações finais: O locus de conhecimento e debates produz crescimento e amadurecimento da categoria. As jornadas vêm influenciando a prática da enfermagem, pela discussão das temáticas atuais para aprimoramento da formação e, consequentemente, a valorização da profissão em um continuum. As implicações à profissão se mostram na inclusão e consolidação da enfermagem na Atenção Primária à Saúde, instalação do conselho profissional e valorização profissional.

Objetivo: Desvelar os sentidos emanados por mulheres-enfermeiras durante seu parto normal-fisiológico. Método: Pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa delineada na fenomenologia como aporte teórico-metodológico-filosófico segundo Martin Heidegger e Jean Watson. Foram entrevistadas em profundidade nove enfermeiras residentes em Minas Gerais que optaram pelo parto normal. Utilizou-se a técnica de bola de neve em encontros fenomenológicos (junho a agosto/2016). Resultados: Foram unidades de significados:1) A experiência com o parto normal: aprendizado e benefício; 2) O estar só ao lado do profissional e o estar-com seu ente querido; e 3) Mulher-enfermeira e o parto normal-fisiológico. As mulheres-enfermeiras desvelaram os sentidos emanados do parto normal mostrando suas possibilidades e se comportando com autenticidade ao lidar com o parto normal-fisiológico e o ato de parir, sendo insuficientes os conhecimentos/evidências científicas da formação como profissional para que elas se mostrassem no momento do parto, com propriedade. Conclusão: Na perspectiva da teoria de Watson, a inconsistência entre o ser mulher-no-parto normal-fisiológico e o ser-mulher-enfermeira as sensibilizou para um novo posicionamento profissional ao cuidar. Este estudo preenche uma lacuna e contribui para reflexões sobre métodos de cuidados numa concepção ontológica da mulher aplicável à prática assistencial e de formação de recursos humanos numa perspectiva do cuidado autêntico

Objetivo: Relatar a experiência de acadêmicos de enfermagem na realização de consultas para pessoas com diabetes, no espaço domiciliar e no consultório, no contexto da Atenção Primária à Saúde. Métodos: Trata-se de um relato de experiência, embasado nas atividades teórico-práticas em um centro de saúde da família, durante o sexto período do curso de Graduação em Enfermagem de uma Universidade Federal do Sul do Brasil, no segundo semestre de 2018. Resultados: As consultas de enfermagem proporcionaram à equipe de Estratégia Saúde da Família a análise das condições de saúde atuais dos pacientes e a oportunidade de desenvolver o trabalho em equipe multiprofissional para maior efetividade no atendimento. A experiência possibilitou aos acadêmicos a correlação entre teoria e prática, bem como intensificou o aprendizado para o desempenho da profissão. Para os usuários, oportunizou maior conhecimento sobre a diabetes, reflexão sobre as complicações da doença e maneiras de promover a saúde, estimulando o autocuidado. Conclusão: A experiência permitiu verificar a importância em estabelecer a integração entre a universidade e os serviços de saúde a fim de aprimorar e fortalecer a assistência de saúde na atenção primária.

Trata-se de um estudo que aborda o conhecimento e sentimentos dos usuários relativo ao exame de cineangiocoronariografia. Objetivo: descrever a percepção dos usuários submetidos à cineangiocoronariografia em relação ao exame. Métodos: estudo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, realizado no serviço de hemodinâmica em um hospital universitário no estado do Rio de Janeiro, no período de outubro a dezembro de 2013. Os participantes foram 20 usuários, com idades entre 18 a 79 anos. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, seguida da análise de conteúdo. Resultados: observou-se o desconhecimento quanto à finalidade do exame pela maioria dos usuários, e presença de medo e ansiedade associados à morte de forma simbólica ou não. Considerações finais: constatou-se que os usuários não possuem clareza quanto à ação terapêutica da cineangiocoronariografia, abrindo-se espaço para a presença de sentimentos que emergem ocasionados pelo desconhecimento. As ações educativas realizadas pelo enfermeiro constituem-se em estratégia facilitadora para a educação em saúde dessa clientela.

Published: December 2021

Objetivo: avaliar se o perfil profissional e o tipo de serviço interferem no escore do atributo da coordenação da Atenção Primária à Saúde dos municípios de residência de crianças e adolescentes vivendo com HIV, vinculados a um serviço especializado no Sul do Brasil. Método: estudo transversal, desenvolvido de março a agosto de 2014, em 25 municípios do Rio Grande do Sul, com 527 profissionais. Utilizou-se o Primary Care Assessment Tool - Brasil versão Profissionais. Para a análise, foi utilizado o Teste do qui-quadrado de Pearson, de Mann Whitney e Regressão de Poisson. Resultados: Escore satisfatório tanto na integração de cuidados (6,96), quanto nos sistemas de informações (8,22). As variáveis associadas ao alto escore foram: formação (p=0,001), cargo no serviço (p=0,003) e vínculo com o serviço (p=0,018). A unidade básica de saúde foi associada ao recebimento de informações do serviço especializado no retorno (p=0,049). Conclusão: a formação clínico geral, não possuir cargo e ter vínculo estatutário interferem positivamente na qualidade da APS, e o tipo de serviço Estratégia Saúde da Família tem potencial para coordenar a atenção à saúde às crianças e adolescentes vivendo com HIV.
