Introduction: Prematurity may be related to the early onset of obesity and metabolic syndrome in adolescence. Breastfeeding and feeding are crucial factors in the genesis of cardio metabolic risk.
Objective: To analyze the relationship between the type of breastfeeding and eating habits with the blood pressure, lipid, glycemic and anthropometric profile of adolescents born prematurely.
Methods: Cross-sectional study with 50 adolescents born prematurely in western Paraná, Brazil, aged 10 to 19 years. Data on birth, breastfeeding and feeding were evaluated using the 24-hour Food Consumption Marker. Weight, height, abdominal circumference (AC), blood pressure (BP) were verified; concentrations of glucose, total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) were measured by capillary puncture. Data analysis using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance.
Results: Out of total, 78% eat in front of screens and 52% do not take the main meals during the day. Regardless of the amount of meals a day, the lipid, glycemic and AC profiles did not show a statistically significant difference between the groups. There is a statistically significant association between BP and number of meals (p = 0.01), TC and breastfeeding (p = 0.03) and TG with consumption of sausages (p = 0.02) and products rich in carbohydrates (p = 0.01). Most of them (72%) consumed cow’s milk before completing one year and only 30% received exclusive breastfeeding until the age of six months. Related other values, 30% had high BP, 22% and 41% high TC and TG, respectively. Of the 30% overweight, 60% had high BP, 53% high TG, 33% high TC and 33% percentile AC ?90.
Conclusion: Breastfeeding did not influence the metabolic profile, but it was evidenced as risk factors for adolescents to develop future cardiovascular problems due to prematurity, inadequate eating habits, overweight, abdominal circumference, and alterations in both blood pressure and lipid profile.
New Technology and Professional Work
Authors: Lester Stan 
Published: June 2020

Until recently, the main effect of technology on professional or knowledge-based work has been to augment and expand it, partly as described in Autor, Levy and Murnane’s 2003 analysis. There are now increasingly instances of knowledge-based work being automated and substituted, developments that are more familiar from factory and basic administrative settings. Two widely-quoted studies, by Frey and Osborne (2013) and Susskind and Susskind (2015), point towards significant technology-driven job losses including in professional fields. Subsequent analyses indicate that while some occupations will disappear or be deskilled, others will be created. The argument made here is that the most significant effect will be occupational transformation, necessitating different types of skills in a net movement towards work that is more digitally-oriented but also complex, creative and value-based. These changes have implications that are already beginning to affect the way that professions are organised and how practitioners are educated and trained.

Published: June 2020

Aims: To make pragmatic selection of best performing sugar cane clones, it is compulsory to know traits having high values of heritability. Hence, this work was initiated with the aim of estimating genetic parameters of twelve sugarcane clones planted in randomized block design with three replications. The tested clones were significantly different for all most all the traits at 1% and 5% level of significance. Genotypic and phenotypic variance, GCV and PCV, heritability in broad sense (h2) and genetic advance as percent of mean was calculated for all traits taken.
Results: Low genotypic variances were obtained as compared to the corresponding phenotypic variances for the traits taken. High GCV and heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent mean were obtained for Shoots at 240 DAP (Days After Planting) (1000/ha), Single cane weight at harvest (Kg), commercial cane sugar (CCS) at 8 months stage (%), CCS at 10 months stage (%), Sugar yield at harvest (t/ha) and Cane yield at harvest (t/ha). Hence, selections based on these characters are appropriate for varietal improvement.

Authors: Dölle Klaus , Hughes Thomas 
Published: June 2020

Production of electricity, heat and fuel are important for today’s social and economic growth. Biogas produced by anaerobic co-digestion is an alternative, carbon-neutral, renewable fuel that can be generated from local, low-cost organic materials. Co-digestion of Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and cow manure, was performed with a designed laboratory anaerobic fermentation system at 39°C ± 2°C. Co-digestion was conducted with 100% cow manure as a basis, and cow manure and water hyacinth ratios of 25%:75%:, 50%:50%, and 25%:75% for complete water hyacinth plants, water hyacinth roots and water hyacinth leaves fractions.
Biogas production per gram volatile solid for anaerobic digested cow manure was between 134 ml to 355.59 ml.
Co-digestion of cow manure and water hyacinth showed the highest average biogas production per gram volatile solids for complete water hyacinth and water hyacinth root mixture ratios of 25% cow manure and 75% of water hyacinth and water hyacinth roots yielding 273.01 ml and 462.63 ml respectively.
The least biogas per gram volatile solids produced during co-fermentation was for complete water hyacinth and water hyacinth root with a ratio of 75% cow manure and 25% water hyacinth and water hyacinth root, yielding 163.77 ml and 250.28 ml respectively.
Water hyacinth leave mixture at 50% cow manure and 50% water hyacinth leaves had the lowest average biogas production of 172.54 ml per gram volatile solids. The highest biogas production of 283.55 ml per gram volatile solids was achieved for a mixture of 75% cow manure and 25% water hyacinth leaves.
The biogas composition without CO2 showed a biogas content for the cow manure between 54 and 65%.
The application of co-digestion utilizing cow manure and water hyacinth as a feedstock could help minimize the negative environmental impact of water hyacinth and help to restore biodiversity, water quality and habitat of infested sites.

The focus of this study was on Resilience and Adolescence Educational Advancement in Secondary Schools in Mbanga Sub Division Cameroon. The main objective was to find out the role of self-concept a component of resilience on the educational advancement of adolescence. Self-concept was operationalized in terms of; knowledge about and belief about self; self-ability and taking personal initiative, overcoming difficulties and identifying negative aspect of self. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative method for data collection. Purposive and simple random techniques were used in selecting the participant. The sample comprised of 260 students from three secondary schools involving 151 (58.1%) female and 109 (41.9%) male between the ages of 12-19 years. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS version 23.0) with the aid of descriptive and inferential statistics. Spearman’s rho test and Chi-square test were the inferential statistical tests adopted for the study .Chi-square test was used and the qualitative data was analyzed using the thematic analysis technique with the aid of themes, groundings/frequency and quotations. The findings revealed that: majority of the adolescents 256(98.5%) have good knowledge and belief and their self-ability. For overcoming difficulties and identifying negative aspects of self, 233(89.6%) affirmed that they can easily identify negative things about themselves. Also, majority of the adolescents 225 (86.5%) agreed that they always take initiative to overcome difficult situation in their life. In all the finding showed that (68.3%) of the adolescence have positive self-concept while (37.1%) of them have negative self-concept. Those with positive self-concept also have a high passion for educational advancement. Self-concept was found to have a significant relationship with educational advancement of adolescence. Some recommendations were made especially that guidance counsellors in schools should assist students in building a positive self-concept which will enable them to remain more resilient and focused on their educational engagements.
Coinage, Roman Empire
Authors: Meyers Rachel 
Published: June 2020

AbstractDuring the Roman imperial period, coinage was modified a number of times through the introduction of new denominations and the debasement of the metals. By studying the coins, we can also learn about the organization of the empire and the increasing concentration of power in the hands of one supreme ruler. The imperial portraits, always identified by name on the obverse, have long assisted in identifying sculpted portraits, but the images on the reverse side can be of even greater importance. For there we find the messages and accomplishments that were deemed worthy of circulation throughout the empire.
Ptolemy IX Soter II
Authors: Nadig Peter 
Published: June 2020

AbstractPtolemy IX Soter II (r. 116–107 and 88–81/80bce) was the eldest son of Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra II or Cleopatra III. He first ruled with Cleopatra II and then with Cleopatra III until 107bce, who then appointed his brother Ptolemy Alexander I as co‐ruler. He then established himself in Cyprus and fought out a long struggle with his brother. He returned to Egypt in 88 after Alexander I had been driven from the throne and then ruled with his daughter Cleopatra V Berenike III.
Ptolemy VII Neos Philopator
Authors: Nadig Peter 
Published: June 2020

AbstractPtolemy VII was the youngest son of Ptolemy VI Philometor and Cleopatra II. Very little is known about him and even his existence has been doubted. From 118bcea “Theos Neos Philopator” (= God Young Father‐Loving) is evident in two forms of genealogies listing the divine royal ancestors. He is mentioned after his brother Ptolemy Eupator and before Ptolemy VIII, but it is not completely clear which person is meant, so it could either be Ptolemy VII or, perhaps more likely, Ptolemy Memphites.
Jacoby, Felix (1876–1959)
Authors: Worthington Ian 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThe name of Felix Jacoby (1876–1959) is synonymous with his multivolume workDie Fragmente der griechischen Historiker(FGrHistorFGrH). This mammoth collection of fragments of some one thousand ancient writers, as quoted or paraphrased by later ancient authors, is all the more remarkable for being the product of one man – yet it very nearly did not see the light of day because of Jacoby's earlier graduate career. Jacoby almost completed three of five planned parts before he died. Today, Jacoby's work continues as the premier research source for the ancient world inBrill's New Jacoby(BNJandBNJ2), for Parts I–III, and thecontinuatiovolumesFGrHIV andFGrHV.
Tegea
Authors: Ostby Erik 
Published: June 2020

AbstractTegea was an ancient polis‐state in Arcadia (Peloponnese), known as such from the Archaic period until the end of antiquity. In early times it was an opponent, later an ally of Sparta. There is archaeological evidence for human settlement since Neolithic times and in the Bronze Age; the principal classical sites are the sanctuary of Athena Alea, with a long tradition for cult and remains of archaic and classical temples, and the agora of the urban center with remains of a Hellenistic theatre and of early Christian churches. There is also evidence for an early planned city, surrounded by a defensive wall.

Lua
Authors: Holland Goldthwaite Lora L. 
Published: June 2020

Abstract

Lua, also called Lua Mater and Lua Saturni (if these refer to a single goddess), is known only from a few literary references. There are no extant images of the goddess, nor is there archaeological evidence for her cult. Dumézil compares her to Nirrti, a Vedic goddess of destruction (1956: 114). Scholars connect her name with the Latin verb
luere
, “to suffer, to make amends for,” as well as the Greek verb
luō
, “to loose” (de Vaan 2008: 353). Beyond that, they have agreed on little.

Public health, Egypt
Authors: David Rosalie 
Published: June 2020

Abstract

No specific account has survived of the organization of a public health service in Pharaonic Egypt; however, some system of community medicine or state‐sponsored medical treatment probably existed. Discovered in a pyramid workmen's town (ca. 1880
bce
), Papyrus Kahun marks a significant early contribution to community medicine. Despite environmental conditions and population movements conducive to epidemics, there is no firm evidence of widespread plagues, possibly because the population was too small. Public or private support provided medical and social care for the sick, disabled, and elderly. Contemporary societies rejected those with physical anomalies, whereas the Egyptians integrated them into society.

Published: June 2020

AbstractMultidrug resistance resulting from a variety of defensive pathways in cancer has become a global concern with a considerable impact on the mortality associated with the failure of traditional chemotherapy. Therefore, further research and new therapies are required to overcome this challenge. In this work, a cyclic R10 peptide (cR10) is conjugated to polyglycerol‐covered nanographene oxide to engineer a nanoplatform for the surmounting of multidrug resistance. The nuclear translocation of the nanoplatform, facilitated by cR10 peptide, and subsequently, a laser‐triggered release of the loaded doxorubicin result in efficient anticancer activity confirmed by both in vitro and in vivo experiments. The synthesized nanoplatform with a combination of different features, including active nucleus‐targeting, high‐loading capacity, controlled release of cargo, and photothermal property, provides a new strategy for circumventing multidrug resistant cancers.

Published: June 2020

AbstractThis article reports the first hydrogel with the strength and modulus of cartilage in both tension and compression, and the first to exhibit cartilage‐equivalent tensile fatigue strength at 100 000 cycles. These properties are achieved by infiltrating a bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofiber network with a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)–poly(2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐1‐propanesulfonic acid sodium salt) (PAMPS) double network hydrogel. The BC provides tensile strength in a manner analogous to collagen in cartilage, while the PAMPS provides a fixed negative charge and osmotic restoring force similar to the role of aggrecan in cartilage. The hydrogel has the same aggregate modulus and permeability as cartilage, resulting in the same time‐dependent deformation under confined compression. The hydrogel is not cytotoxic, has a coefficient of friction 45% lower than cartilage, and is 4.4 times more wear‐resistant than a PVA hydrogel. The properties of this hydrogel make it an excellent candidate material for replacement of damaged cartilage.
Optimization of Material Composition of Li‐Intercalated Metal–Organic Framework Electrodes Using a Combination of Experiments and Machine Learning of X‐Ray Diffraction Patterns

Published: June 2020

AbstractAlthough individual Li‐intercalated metal–organic frameworks (iMOFs) exhibit properties that make them suitable for use as electrodes in Li‐ion batteries, none of these materials have the ideal combination of electrochemical characteristics. Using the high specific capacity and low polarization of 2,6‐naphthalene dicarboxylate dilithium as a basis for improvement, 26 iMOFs from different combinations of aqueous terephthalic, 2,6‐naphthalene dicarboxylic, and 4,4′‐biphenyl dicarboxylic‐based solutions with Li source are synthesized to obtain a material with the optimal electrochemical performances. For a more comprehensive search of the optimal ratio of raw material solutions, a machine learning‐based prediction model is constructed, using a combination of X‐ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and the experimentally derived characteristics of the 26 iMOFs. With this model, the optimal iMOF ratio is found to be a 2,6‐naphthalene dicarboxylic acid‐rich ternary solution of raw material. It is concluded that the improvement in the electrochemical properties originates from a change in the iMOFs crystal structure caused by synthesis from three solutions. As the model is independent of fabrication parameters such as heating temperature, it can also be used for evaluation of synthesis procedures. Hence, the XRD data‐based machine learning method introduced in this study is a powerful tool for practical material development.
Halogen Bond‐Catalyzed Povarov Reactions
Authors: Liu Xuelei , Toy Patrick H. 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThe use of a bidentate halogen bond donor to catalyse Povarov reactions of imines derived from aryl adehydes and anilines is reported. Dienophiles used in these reactions included 2,3‐dihydrofuran, N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone and N‐Cbz‐protected 2,3‐dihydropyrrole. Very high isolated yields of the desired 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinoline products were obtained with low catalyst loadings (0.01 equivalents) and short reaction times (minutes to hours) at ambient temperature. Notably, the bis(benzimidazolium iodide)‐based catalyst used in these reactions proved to be more efficient than analogous bromine and chlorine functionalized compounds, as well as a related monodentate benzimidizolium iodide. These observations are similar to what has been reported by others regarding halogen bond organocatalysis, and may prove useful in guiding catalyst design as the field moves forward.magnified image
Metal‐Halide Perovskite Design for Next‐Generation Memories: First‐Principles Screening and Experimental Verification
Authors: Jung Ju‐Hyun , Kim Seong Hun , Park Youngjun , Lee Donghwa , Lee Jang‐Sik 
Published: June 2020

AbstractMemory devices have been advanced so much, but still it is highly required to find stable and reliable materials with low‐power consumption. Halide perovskites (HPs) have been recently adopted for memory application since they have advantages of fast switching based on ionic motion in crystal structure. However, HPs also suffer from poor stability, so it is necessary to improve the stability of HPs. In this regard, combined first‐principles screening and experimental verification are performed to design HPs that have high environmental stability and low‐operating voltage for memory devices. First‐principles screening identifies 2D layered AB2X5 structure as the best candidate switching layer for memory devices, because it has lower formation energy and defect formation energy than 3D ABX3 or other layered structures (A3B2X7, A2BX4). To verify results, all‐inorganic 2D layered CsPb2Br5 is synthesized and used in memory devices. The memory devices that use CsPb2Br5 show much better stability and lower operating voltages than devices that use CsPbBr3. These findings are expected to provide new opportunity to design materials for reliable device applications based on calculation, screening, and experimental verification.

Published: June 2020

AbstractBaraitser‐Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome (BWCFF) is a rare autosomal dominant developmental disorder associated with missense mutations in the genes ACTB or ACTG1. The classic presentation of BWCFF is discerned by the combination of unique craniofacial characteristics including ocular coloboma, intellectual disability, and hypertelorism. Congenital contractures and organ malformations are often present, including structural defects in the brain, heart, renal, and musculoskeletal system. However, there is limited documentation regarding its prenatal presentation that may encourage healthcare providers to be aware of this disorder when presented throughout pregnancy. Herein we describe a case of a pregnancy with large cystic hygroma and omphalocele. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed and a de novo, heterozygous, likely pathogenic mutation in ACTB was detected, c.1004G>A (p.Arg335His), conferring a diagnosis of BWCFF.
