AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the interval between the first and last seizures, the normalization of the electroencephalogram (EEG), and to identify factors of influence. Medical records of children were analyzed with benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes. Variables age at first and last seizure, gender, interval between the first and last seizure, the first seizure and EEG normalization, lateralization of the epileptiform discharges, and last epileptic seizure and EEG normalization. The mean time between the first and last seizure was 3.34 years. Early onset of seizures and unilateral discharges were factors that increased the interval between the first and last seizures (p < 0.001). Interval between the last seizure and EEG normalization was 2.40 years, without influence of age (p = 0.986). Interval was shorter in bilateral discharges (p = 0.035). The antiepileptic medicine did not alter the natural history of disease progression. In younger children, the interval between last seizure and normalization of the EEG is reduced compared to older children.
Ten Tips and Tricks for Performing Alcohol Septal Ablation in Patients with Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
Authors: Veselka Josef 
Published: April 2020

AbstractAlcohol septal ablation (ASA) is an effective interventional therapeutic strategy to reduce or eliminate left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Although ASA was introduced 25 years ago, there are still no available guidelines to follow. Therefore, most interventional cardiologists rely on their own experience, which is often limited by a relatively low number of performed procedures. This paper presents ten tips and tricks to safe and effective ASA for HOCM.

SignificanceDysregulation of the alternative complement pathway due to impaired binding of complement factor H (CFH) to self-ligands or altered self-ligands (e.g. malondialdehyde [MDA]-modified molecules) involved in homeostasis can promote the development of complement-related diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We identified, in an unbiased GWAS approach, that common genetic variants within the CFH gene family (rs1061170 and the deletion of the complement factor H-related protein 1 and 3 genes [CFHR3andCFHR1]) act as major modulators of CFH recruitment and its ability to regulate complement on MDA-epitopes. These findings demonstrate the importance of the genetic status within theCFH/CFHR3/CFHR1locus in tissue homeostasis and provide a mechanistic explanation as to why deletion ofCFHR3/CFHR1is protective in AMD development.

Significance
Endogenous hypochlorite (HClO), the strong oxidizing and chlorinating species generated by myeloperoxidase, has been speculated to be closely associated with the development of epilepsy. However, direct imaging evidence from live brains with epileptic behaviors is rare. Herein, we have developed a two-photon fluorescence probe for the real-time tracking of endogenous HClO fluxes in vivo and ex vivo in epileptic brains. The application of this probe to construct a high-throughput screening platform would rapidly screen the potential antiepileptic agents to control overexpressing HClO. This work provides a versatile chemical tool for investigating HClO under pathological conditions of epilepsy and could be used to rapidly discover additional antiepileptic agents.

Spin-polarized electron transmission through B-doped graphene nanoribbons with Fe functionalization: a first-principles study
Authors: Tsukamoto Shigeru , Caciuc Vasile , Atodiresei Nicolae , Blügel Stefan 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the electron transport properties of a B-doped armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) suspended between graphene electrodes based on first-principles calculations. Our calculations reveal that one of the electron transmission channels of a pristine AGNR junction is closed by the B-doping. We then proceed to explore the effect of the B-doping on the spin-polarized electron transport behavior of a Fe-functionalized AGNR junction. As a result, transmission channels for majority-spin electrons are closed and the spin polarization of the electron transmission is enhanced from 0.60 for the Fe-functionalized AGNR junction to 0.96 for the B- and Fe-codoped one. This observation implies that the codoped AGNR junction can be employed as a spin filter. In addition, we investigate the electronic nature of the transmission suppression caused by the B-doping. A detailed analysis of the scattering wave functions clarifies that a mode modulation of an incident wave arises in the B-doped AGNR part and the incident wave connects to an evanescent wave in the transmission-side electrode. For pristine and Fe-functionalized AGNR junctions, such a mode modulation is not observed and the incident wave connects to a propagating wave in the transmission-side electrode. Tuning of electron transport property by exploiting such a mode modulation is one of promising techniques for designing functionality of spintronics devices. We also discuss the general correspondence between the electron transmission spectrum and the density of states of a junction.

On the metallicity gradient in the Galactic disk
Authors: Loktin Alexander , Popova Maria 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The problem of the chemical composition gradient in the Galactic disk is studied based on a sample of metallicity estimates of open star clusters, using Gaia DR2-improved distance estimates. A clearly non-monotonic variation was observed in the average metallicity of clusters with increasing Galactocentric distance. One can clearly see the metallicity jump of 0.22 in [Fe/H] at a Galactocentric distance of about 9.5 kpc, which appears to be linked to the outer boundary of the thinnest and youngest component of the Galactic disk. The absence of a significant metallicity gradient in the internal (R < 9 kpc) and external (R > 10 kpc) regions of the disk demonstrates the absence of noticeable metal enrichment at times of the order of the ages corresponding to those of the disk regions under consideration. Observational data show that the disk experiences noticeable metal enrichment only during the starburst epochs. No significant dependence was identified between the average metallicity and the age of the clusters.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
We have investigated species-specific isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) for the quantification of ferritin-bound iron in murine serum and brain. Therefore, fresh samples were analyzed using size exclusion chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SEC-ICP-MS). Isotopically labeled (57Fe)ferritin was used as calibrant for the quantification of ferritin-bound iron in murine samples. Assessment of the iron load of serum ferritin was impaired by concomitant iron-containing proteins of similar size and shape, which could not be separated by SEC nor centrifugal ultra-filtration. In contrast, ferritin was the main iron-containing protein in cytosolic extracts of murine brain, which showed a total ferritin-bound iron content of (1.05 ± 0.12) µg g−1 (n= 10; U, k= 2). The relative expanded uncertainty achieved for a mass fraction of ca. 1 µg g−1 ferritin-bound iron was 11% (U
rel, k = 2). The relative expanded uncertainty of the iron mass fraction of the (57Fe)ferritin spike was 5.7% and represented the major contributing factor to the overall uncertainty. Statistical tests suggested no significant difference in ferritin-bound iron content between mouse brain hemispheres. The presented analytical tool provides low limits of quantification (2.2 ng g−1) and uncertainties (11%, U
rel, k = 2), thus enables the quantification of ferritin-bound iron in murine brain extracts with high sensitivity and accuracy. Furthermore, this analytical workflow assures comparability of measurement results across research laboratories. This provides the basis for investigation of the iron loading of ferritin in brain tissue of healthy and Alzheimer’s disease mouse models, which may help answering the question if iron regulation is impaired in Alzheimer’s disease.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Indigenous Peoples globally are among those who are most acutely experiencing the mental health impacts of climate change; however, little is known about the ways in which Indigenous Peoples globally experience climate-sensitive mental health impacts and outcomes, and how these experiences may vary depending on local socio-cultural contexts, geographical location, and regional variations in climate change. Thus, the goal of this study was to examine the extent, range, and nature of published research investigating the ways in which global Indigenous mental health is impacted by meteorological, seasonal, and climatic changes. Following a systematic scoping review protocol, three electronic databases were searched. To be included, articles had to be empirical research published since 2007 (i.e. since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment Report); explicitly discuss Indigenous Peoples and describe factors related to climatic variables and mental health. Descriptive data from relevant articles were extracted, and the articles were thematically analyzed. Fifty articles were included for full review. Most primary research articles described research in Canada (38%), Australia (24%), and the United States of America (10%), with the number of articles increasing over time. Mental health outcomes such as strong emotional responses, suicide, depression, and anxiety were linked to changes in meteorological factors, seasonality, and exposure to both acute and chronic weather events. The literature also reported on the ways in which the emotional and psychological impacts of climate were connected to changing place attachment, disrupted cultural continuity, altered food security and systems, forced human mobility, and intangible loss and damages. This review highlights global considerations for Indigenous mental health in relation to climate change, which can support Indigenous-driven initiatives and decision-making to enhance mental wellness in a changing climate.
Why do some consumers not charge their plug-in hybrid vehicles? Evidence from Californian plug-in hybrid owners
Authors: Chakraborty Debapriya , Hardman Scott , Tal Gil 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The environmental benefits of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are closely related to the driving and charging behavior of vehicle owners. It is often wrongly assumed that PHEV drivers plug-in once per day. Using data from drivers of the vehicles we show this is not the case and that some drivers rarely charge their PHEV. If the vehicle is not plugged-in regularly, the vehicle will drive fewer electric miles and more gasoline miles, thereby losing out on potential emission savings. Analyzing 30-day charging behavior of 5418 PHEV owners using a logistic regression model, we explore the factors that influence driver’s decisions to not charge their vehicle. Several factors play a role in drivers’ decision to plug-in their PHEV or not, including vehicle characteristics and the availability and cost of charging at various locations. Higher home electricity prices, lower electric driving range, lower electric motor power to vehicle weight ratios, lower potential cost savings from charging, and living in an apartment or condo, among other factors are related to not plugging in a PHEV. The findings have important implications in terms of future policy and vehicle design including which PHEVs policymakers should incentivize and what measures can encourage PHEV owners to plug-in their vehicles to help realize the environmental benefits of the technology.

In this study, we examined consequences of unconventional time development of two-dimensional conformal field theory induced by the L
1 and L
−1 operators, employing the formalism previously developed in a study of sine-square deformation. We discovered that the retainment of the Virasoro algebra requires the presence of a cut-off near the fixed points. The introduction of a scale by the cut-off makes it possible to recapture the formula for entanglement entropy in a natural and straightforward manner.

Authors: Oktarina Devi , Fadilasari Dewi , Juansyah Yan 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Concrete structurally has a fairly large compressive strength, but has a lack of tensile strength and is brittle. This weakness can be corrected by adding natural or artificial fibres to the concrete mix evenly with a random orientation. The purpose of this study was to investigate about the effect of adding natural fibres and artificial fibres on compressive strength and tensile strength of concrete. Test specimens used are cylindrical concrete measuring 150 mm x 300 mm with natural fibres from bamboo Betung and artificial fibres from local Bendrat wire. The variation of the percentage value of the fibre fraction volume is 0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6% and the test is carried out when the concrete is 28 days old. The results showed that the addition of natural fibres and artificial fibres to the concrete mix can increase the compressive strength and tensile strength of normal concrete at a fraction volume of 0.4%. Increased compressive strength of normal concrete is 24.31% for bamboo Betung fibre and 20.81% for Bendrat wire fibre. Whereas the increased in tensile strength of normal concrete for Betung bamboo fibre increased by 77.12% and for Bendrat wire fibre increased by 3.24%.
Factors Influencing The Greenhouse Gas Emission Disclosure on Manufacturing Firms in Indonesia
Authors: Listyaningsih Erna , Natalina  
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission disclosure study is interesting to be investigated in recent years. Nevertheless, the results are still varying. This research investigated the influence of firm size, Return on Asset (ROA), leverage and environmental performance on GHG emission disclosures of listed manufacturing firms of Indonesia Stocks Exchange (IDX). Multiple regression methodology employed in this study. Sample used was 36 firms that consisted of manufacturing companies in the ranking of PROPER and IDX during 2015-2017. It was found that firm size and environmental performance had an effect on the GHG emission disclosure while ROA and leverage did not have effect. Furthermore, large companies tend to carry out information on GHG emissions disclosures voluntarily than the small one. It indicates that the ranking of PROPER motivated large firms to give information of GHG emission. This finding supported the previous studies in which firm size influenced the GHG emission disclosure.
