Incorporating stakeholder views is a key element in successful environmental management, particularly if the managed system delivers cultural and provisioning ecosystem services directly to the stakeholders, or if there are conflicting views about the ecosystem functioning or its optimal management. One such system is the Archipelago Sea in the Southwestern coast of Finland. It is an area with high biodiversity, offering a range of ecosystem services, from regulating services to provisioning and cultural services. Furthermore, it is subjected to a variety of human activities ranging from eutrophication and marine transport to fishing. The management of the area is also a topic of debate, including discussions of minimum landing size of fish, seal hunting quotas, and the role of cormorants in the ecosystem. Fuzzy cognitive mapping offers a method to evaluate and quantitatively compare different actors’ views on ecosystem structure. The models can be compared quantitatively and simulated to illustrate how they respond to various pressure scenarios. This may reveal differences in the perceptions about what are the important interactions in the ecosystem, and how the system would respond to management measures, potentially explaining differing opinions about the best management strategy. In this work, 30 stakeholders, including policy makers, scientists, eNGOs, fisheries, and recreational users created fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) of the Archipelago Sea food web. We found that despite the debate about the management of the area, the stakeholders’ views about the food web structure were not clustered based on the stakeholder group, i.e. the different stakeholder groups did not have distinct ideas about the ecosystem structure. The FCM complexity did not show a pattern based on the stakeholder group either. While the general pattern of the FCMs indicated a shared view of the food web structure across most respondents, there was one map from the recreational group that stood out. The exact setup of the models varied. Across all maps, cod, perch, fishing, zooplankton, and herring were the variables having most links with the other variables. The simulated ecosystem responses indicated that fishing was seen as a key factor affecting food web components, while increases of salinity and oxygen levels have a positive impact on multiple ecosystem components. The value of the approach is to enable a two-way discussion about the food webs and how management of pressures may impact the components.

Subject. Study of the results and complications of uranoplasty in children with congenital cleft lip and /or palate in the first year after surgical treatment.
The goal is to determine the frequency of surgical and speech complications after uranoplasty in children with congenital cleft lip and/or palate in regions with a petrochemical industry and without industrial ecotoxicants.
Methodology. After the uranoplasty, 80 children with various forms of cleft palate were examined at the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital. Comprehensive examination included the use of clinical (examination, palpation, percussion ― assessment of surgical status) and functional (electromyography, rheography, magnetic resonance imaging, nasopharyngoendoscopy, speech therapy speech assessment using a sound identification system) research methods.
Results. Children with congenital cleft lip and/or palate born and living in regions with petrochemical ecotoxicants more often (37.5 %) have complications after uranoplasty than children from regions without petrochemical ecotoxicants (18.8 %). They have a higher prevalence of palatopharyngeal insufficiency, the frequency of fistulas of the soft and hard palate, and the need for secondary surgical intervention, more often they experience difficulties in restoring speech functions.
Conclusions. Due to the presence of somatic diseases and disorders in blood counts at the preoperative stage, more pronounced postoperative complications are noted in the group of children with congenital cleft lip and/or palate from regions with the petrochemical industry, which indicates a violation of their reparative regeneration after uranoplasty. This is the rationale for the development and application of a method for the prevention of postoperative complications, which will be included in the rehabilitation algorithm to improve the physiological and speech functions of children after uranoplasty in a region with a petrochemical industry.

Subject. The creation of functional ceramic coatings based on titanium dioxide for the manufacture of orthopedic structures, including dental implants and systems for osteosynthesis, helps to prevent possible complications during dental surgical and orthopedic treatment by improving the processes of osseointegration.
The goal is to develop domestic proprietary technology for producing nanopowders and functional coatings based on titanium dioxide, free of chemical impurities, which can be used in the practice of orthopedic dentistry for the construction of dental and maxillary prostheses, as well as implant systems.
Methodology. The authors developed and proposed a method for applying to medical devices made of titanium, a nanostructured surface layer of titanium dioxide. To provide an evidence base for the advantages of using the proposed titanium dioxide coating, an experimental study was made of its chemical uniformity and freedom from impurities, as well as an assessment of the adhesion force between the oxide layer deposited by titanium dioxide in the anatase phase and the surface of the titanium support.
Results. During Raman spectroscopy, titanium dioxide nanopowder did not detect extraneous chemical impurities. According to the results of the method of thermal desorption of nitrogen, the specific surface of the titanium dioxide powder was 67-70 m2 / g, and the average calculated particle size was 20-22 nm. It was shown by optical microscopy that the average thickness of the oxide layer (rutile phase) is 15 ± 5 μm, anatase is 70 ± 10 μm, the adhesion force between the oxide layer (rutile phase) and the titanium base is 6.3 ± 0.1 MPa, at applying anatase - 4.9 ± 0.1 MPa. In the study of the adhesion force of a functional titanium dioxide coating with a titanium base, it was found that the onset of peeling occurs at a load of 8.6 N.
Conclusions. Studies of a highly developed functional surface layer of nanostructured titanium dioxide indicate the wide possibilities of its use in the practice of a dentist.

Abstract
Introduction: There has been growing evidence on the favourable outcomes of fast tract recovery (FTR) surgery; expedite recovery, minimise complications, reduce length of hospital stay on surgical patients. However, there is lack of evidence on the effectiveness of FTR in surgical gynaecologic cancer patients. Most of previous study did not focus on feeding composition in FTR surgery protocol. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of FTR feeding with whey protein infused carbohydrate loading drink pre-operatively and early oral feeding post-operatively on post-operative outcomes among surgical gynaecologic cancer patients. Methods and analysis: This open labelled RCT will randomly allocate patients into intervention and control group. Ambulated Malaysian aged over 18 years and scheduled for elective surgery for (suspected) GC, will be included in this study. Intervention group will be given whey protein infused carbohydrate loading drinks evening before operation and 3 hours before operation as well as started on early oral feeding 4 hours post-operatively. Control group will be fasted overnight pre-operation and only allowed plain water, and the diet transition fashion is followed when there is bowel sound post-operatively. Primary outcomes of study are length of post-operative hospital stay, length of clear fluid toleration, solid food toleration and bowel function. Additional outcome measures are changes in nutritional status, biochemical profile and functional status. Data will be analysed on an intention-to-treat basis.

Abstract
Background: Leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains 1 (LRIG1) copy number alterations and unbalanced gene recombination events have been reported to occur in breast cancer. Importantly, LRIG1 loss was recently shown to predict early and late relapse in stage I-II breast cancer. Methods: We developed droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assays for the determination of relative LRIG1 copy numbers and used these assays to analyze LRIG1 in twelve healthy individuals, 34 breast tumor samples previously analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and 423 breast tumor cytosols. Results: Four of the LRIG1/reference gene assays were found to be precise and robust, showing copy number ratios close to 1 (mean, 0.984; standard deviation, +/-0.031) among the healthy control population. The correlation between the ddPCR assays and previous FISH results was low, possibly because of the different normalization strategies used. One in 34 breast tumors (2.9%) showed an unbalanced LRIG1 recombination event. LRIG1 copy number ratios were associated with the breast cancer subtype, steroid receptor status, ERBB2 status, tumor grade, and nodal status. Both LRIG1 loss and gain were associated with unfavorable metastasis-free survival; however, they did not remain significant prognostic factors after adjustment for common risk factors in the Cox regression analysis. Furthermore, LRIG1 loss was not significantly associated with survival in stage I and II cases. Conclusions: Although LRIG1 gene aberrations may be important determinants of breast cancer biology, and prognostic markers, the results of this study do not verify an important role for LRIG1 copy number analyses in predicting the risk of relapse in early-stage breast cancer.

Published: May 2020

Abstract
Background: Despite the existence of a population-based control program using single dose albendazole or mebendazole as a preventive chemotherapy, hookworm transmission remains high. It causes a negative impact on the growth and school performance of children. In connection to this preventive chemotherapy, different studies produced conflicting results. This study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of single (500mg) versus multiple doses (100mg twice a day during three consecutive days) of mebendazole against hookworm infections among school-aged children. Methods: This randomized open-label clinical trial took place among school-aged children (6-14 years old) in Burie and Debre Elias towns, Northwest Ethiopia. Using simple randomization, eligible hookworm-positive children were allocated (1:1) to either a single or multiple dose treatment arms. Stool samples were collected and processed using McMaster method at baseline and follow-up period (14-21 days after treatment). Only laboratory technicians were blinded. The cure and egg reduction rates which were assessed after 14-21 days of treatment were the primary and secondary therapeutic outcome measures against hookworm infections, respectively. An independent t-test was used to compare group means, and logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratio (OR). P-value < 0.05 at 95% CI was considered statistically significant. Result: 108 children, 54 in each treatment arm had completed baseline data and received allocated treatment. 103 children had completed follow-up data records and included for the final efficacy analysis. Cure rate against hookworm was significantly higher in the multiple dose (96.1%) than in the single dose (30.8%) with OR=55.125; 95% CI: 11.92-254.9; P < 0.001. The egg reduction rate in the multiple dose treatment arm (99.5%) was also significantly higher than in the single dose arm (68.9%) with difference t (101) =5.38; 95% CI 230.95-505.36; P < 0.001. Conclusion: The single dose regimen of mebendazole for the treatment of hookworm infections showed poor cure and egg reduction rates, while the multiple dose revealed satisfactory. Although multiple dose regimen administration is a bit more complex than the single dose, we strongly encourage replacing it with multiple dose regimen during deworming programs in hookworm endemic areas.

Abstract
Background Three-dimensional (3D) printing is widely used in the fabrication of dental prostheses; however, the influence of dental materials used for 3D printing on temporary restoration of fibroblasts in tissues is unclear. Thus, the influence of different dental materials on fibroblasts were investigated. Methods Digital light processing (DLP) type 3D printing was used. Specimens in the control group were fabricated by mixing liquid and powder self-curing resin restoration materials. The temporary resin materials used were Model, Castable, Clear-SG, Tray, and Temporary, and the self-curing resin materials used were Lang dental, Alike, Milky blue, TOKVSO CUREFAST, and UniFast III. Fibroblast cells were cultured on each specimen and subsequently post-treated for analysis. Morphology of the adhered cells were observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results CLSM and SEM cell imaging revealed that the 3D printed material group presented better cell adhesion with well-distributed filopodia compared to that in the conventional resin material group. Cell proliferation was significantly higher in the 3D printing materials. Conclusion Superior cytocompatibility of the specimens fabricated through 3D printing and polishing process was demonstrated with the proof of better cell adhesion and higher cell proliferation.

Abstract
Background: The high-temperature requirement factor A1 (HTRA1) gene at the 10q26 locus has been associated with age-related macular degenerative (AMD) risk, with the significantly associated polymorphism being (rs11200638, -625G/A), however, above association is not consistent. We investigated an updated meta-analysis to evaluate the association between rs11200638 polymorphism and AMD risk thoroughly addressing this issue. Methods: An identification was covered with the Pubmed and Chinese Wanfang databases through 27th Jan, 2020. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess the strength of associations. After a thorough and meticulous search, 35 different articles (33 case-control studies with HWE, 22 case-control studies about wet/dry AMD) were retrieved. Results: Individuals carrying A-allele or AA genotype may have an increased risk to be AMD disease. For example, there has a significantly increased relationship between rs11200638 polymorphism and AMD both for Asians (OR: 2.51, 95%CI: 2.22-2.83 for A-allele vs. G-allele) and Caucasians (OR: 2.63, 95%CI: 2.29-3.02 for A-allele vs. G-allele). Moreover, a similar trend in the source of control subgroup was detected. To classify the type of AMD, increased association was also observed in both wet (OR: 3.40, 95%CI: 2.90-3.99 for dominant model) and dry (OR: 2.08, 95%CI: 1.24-3.48 for dominant model) AMD. Finally, based on the different genotyping methods, increased relationships were identified by sequencing, TaqMan, PCR-RFLP and RT-PCR. Conclusions: Our present meta-analysis suggests that the HTRA1 rs11200638 polymorphism are potentially associated with the risk of AMD development, especially about individuals carrying A-allele or AA genotype, who may be as identified targets to detect and intervene in advance. Further studies using larger sample sizes and including information about gene-environment interactions should be conducted to elucidate.

Abstract
The safety of Industrial Internet Control Systems has been a hotspot in the information security. To meet needs of communication, a large variety of proprietary protocols have emerged in the field of industrial control. The protocol field is often trusted in the implementation of industrial control terminal code. If attackers modify the data of these fields using the protocol defect, the operation of the program can be controlled and the entire system will be affected. To cope with such security threats, academia and industry generally adopt fuzz test methods. However, the current industrial control protocol fuzz test methods generally have low code coverage, where unified description models are missing and test cases are not targeted. A method of fuzzification processing combined with dynamic multi-modal sensor communication data is proposed. To track the program execution, the dynamic pollution analysis is used to search for the input fields that affect the execution of the conditional branch, and capture the dependencies between the conditional branches to guide the grammar generation of test cases, which can increase the chances of executing deep code. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the validity and code coverage of test cases to a certain extent, and greatly increases the probability of anomaly detection in the protocol implementation.

Abstract
Objectives : Both low vitamin D status and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are worldwide concerns, and low vitamin D levels are associated with MetS; however, related epidemiological evidence based on elderly Chinese individuals, especially those over 80 years of age, is limited. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the association between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D and MetS in elderly Chinese individuals. Method: Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D3) was measured in a cross-sectional sample of 2493 elderly people aged 65-112 years from eight areas of China in which the density of centenarians is exceptionally high. MetS was diagnosed according to blood pressure, lipid, and blood sugar levels; waist circumference; and body mass index (BMI). Adjusted multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the associations between vitamin D and MetS based on different diagnostic criteria. Results: A total of 890 (35.7%) of the recruited elderly individuals had insufficient levels of vitamin D, and 1029 participants (41.3%) were vitamin D deficient. High serum vitamin D concentrations were associated with a low prevalence of MetS according to the modified Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria for adequate versus deficient vitamin D levels (OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.45, 0.88) and inadequate versus deficient vitamin D levels (OR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.52, 0.92). Each 10 ng/ml increase in serum vitamin D was significantly associated with a decreased prevalence of MetS according to the modified ATP III criteria for people with normal waist circumference (WC) (OR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.43,0.71). However, no significant statistical correlation was found among elderly people with a high WC. Additionally, in the analysis of the individual components, the ORs of adequate versus deficient vitamin D levels were 0.46 (95% CI: 0.30, 0.71) for elevated triglycerides and 0.64 (95% CI: 0.42, 0.97) for reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) after adjustment for other components. Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is very common among elderly Chinese individuals. Vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for MetS; however, the association was only statistically significant among elderly people with noncentral obesity. Further studies are needed to examine the causal direction of the association.
