Patients with Rett syndrome (RTT) show severe difficulties with communication, social withdrawl, and learning. Music-based interventions improve social interaction, communication skills, eye contact, and physical skills and reduce seizure frequency in patients with RTT. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which music-based interventions compromise sociability impairments in mecp2 null/y mice as an experimental RTT model. Male mecp2 null/y mice and wild-type mice (24 days old) were randomly divided into control, noise, and music-based intervention groups. Mice were exposed to music or noise for 6 h/day for 3 consecutive weeks. Behavioral patterns, including anxiety, spontaneous exploration, and sociability, were characterized using open-field and three-chamber tests. BDNF, TrkB receptor motif, and FNDC5 expression in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus, basal ganglia, and amygdala were probed using RT-PCR or immunoblotting. mecp2 null/y mice showed less locomotion in an open field than wild-type mice. The social novelty rather than the sociability of these animals increased following a music-based intervention, suggesting that music influenced the mecp2-deletion-induced social interaction repression rather than motor deficit. Mechanically, the loss of BDNF signaling in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampal regions, but not in the basal ganglia and amygdala, was compromised following the music-based intervention in mecp2 null/y mice, whereas TrkB signaling was not significantly changed in either region. FNDC5 expression in the prefrontal cortex region in mecp2 null/y mice also increased following the music-based intervention. Collective evidence reveals that music-based interventions improve mecp2-loss-induced social dysfunction. BDNF and FNDC5 signaling in the prefrontal cortex region mediates the music-based-intervention promotion of social interactions. This study gives new insight into the mechanisms underlying the improvement of social behaviors in mice suffering from experimental Rett syndrome following a music-based intervention.

The research aims to study the most important factors affecting carbon dioxide emissions Co2, through a model. Explanatory variables were used in the model, which are the average per capita gross domestic product (GDP), the square per capita gross domestic product (GDPSQ), per capita energy consumption (CONS), and the POP population for the period 2000-2017 via using double logarithmic formula which is more suitable for economic, statistical and econometric logic in this type of studies, the results of the research showed that all the explanatory variables were statistically significant at the level of 1% and that the model was significant as a whole according to the statistic F and the value of R2=0.99. Economically, we find that the parameter of the average per capita GDP was 0.46 and it came with a positive signal consistent with the methodology of the Environmental Curve Kuznets ECK, the parameter of per capita energy consumption was 0.04, and it came with a negative sign that contradicts the Kuznets methodology, the reason may belong to the conditions that affected the country after 2003. The research recommended to go to investing in renewable energy, because it is environmentally friendly, such as sun energy, and to reduce the size of the gas in the sectors emitting to it, such as the transport sector, factories, the extraction sector, and manufacturing industries, in order to preserve the integrity of the environment and the plant and animal wealth it contains ,to a better environment in Iraq.

Published: July 2021

The research aimed at analyzing the structure of agricultural employment in Iraq as well as analyzing the current status of economic variables related to agricultural employment during the period 1990-2017, including the agricultural workforce, agricultural wages, agricultural investment and agricultural GDP. In the achievement of its objectives, the research relied on descriptive and quantitative analysis, as well as the use of some modern econometric methods in estimating models. The results using the ARDL methodology in the analysis indicate a long-term relationship between the volume of agricultural employment and each of the explanatory variables included in the model, which are (agricultural GDP, agricultural investments, agricultural wages and technological development). The research concluded that the negative effects of the policies pursued towards the agricultural sector to a large extent have been reflected on the size of the demand for agricultural employment and the productive efficiency of agricultural labor. The research recommended that investments should be directed to developing human resources, aiming to raise their efficiency, and encouraging the private sector to increase investments in various fields that would open new labor markets in order to accommodate the various types of unemployment that exist in the state’s economic structure.

Assessment of the influence of intensity of optical signal on the probability of erroneous data registration in a single-photon communication channel
Authors: Timofeev A. M. 
Published: July 2021

When measuring low-power optical signals in single-photon communication channels, the receiving modules must ensure the minimum probability of erroneous data recording. In this regard, it is advisable to use photon counters. They are highly sensitive, but are characterized by data recording errors. The aim of the work was to determine the effect of intensity of optical signal on the probability of erroneous data recording in a single-photon communication channel with a receiving module based on a photon counter.Based on the results of experimental studies, the dependences of the probability of erroneous registration of binary symbols «0» Perr 0 on the intensity of the optical signal J0 , used to transmit these symbols for various supply voltages of the avalanche photodetector U, were obtained. It was found that with an increase of intensity of the optical signal, the dependences Perr 0(J0) first decrease, reaching their lowest value, and then increase. The performed assessment showed that the lowest probability of erroneous registration the binary symbols «0» for the investigated communication channel is equal to 17,56 • 10-2 and corresponds to J0 = 52,41 • 10-2 rel. units and U = 52,54 V.
GMRT Observations of the Exoplanetary Systems τ Boötis and 55 Cancri

Published: July 2021

Abstract
We present archival Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of two exoplanetary systems, τ Boötis, and 55 Cancri, at 610 MHz and 150 MHz, respectively. Theoretical models predict these systems to have some of the highest expected flux densities at radio wavelengths. Both τ Boötis and 55 Cancri have been previously observed at low frequency (∼30 MHz) with Low-Frequency Array. τ Boötis shows tentative signatures of circularly polarized emission at 30 MHz, while no emission was detected from 55 Cancri. We do not detect radio emission from both the systems, but the GMRT observations set 3σ upper limits of 0.6 mJy at 610 MHz for τ Boötis and 4.6 mJy at 150 MHz for 55 Cancri. The sensitivity achieved at 610 MHz in these observations is comparable to some of the deepest images of an exoplanet field.

Abstract
We present a regional photometric analysis of asteroid (101955) Bennu, using image data from the MapCam color imager of the OSIRIS-REx Camera Suite (OCAMS). This analysis follows the previously reported global photometric analysis of Bennu, which found that Bennu’s roughness was difficult to photometrically model owing to unresolved surface variation. Here we find that, even with a high-resolution shape model (20 cm per facet) and automatic image registration (<1 pixel error), Bennu remains a challenging surface to photometrically model: neither a suite of empirical photometric models nor the physically motivated Hapke model were able to eliminate the scatter in the data due to pixel-scale variations. Nonetheless, the models improved on the global analysis by identifying regional variations in Bennu’s photometric response. A linear empirical model, when compared with independent measures of surface roughness and albedo, revealed correlations between those characteristics and phase slope. A regional Hapke analysis showed the same structure in its single-scattering albedo and asymmetry factors; although the Hapke parameters were loosely constrained, complicating interpretation of their spatial variation, the regional variation in relative parameter sensitivity also correlated with shallower phase slope, higher albedo, and less macroscopic roughness.
Observatoire communautaire sur l’accès aux services de santé : difficultés du processus de responsabilité sociale en Guinée
Authors: Fofana Thierno Oumar , Soors Werner , Sow Abdoulaye , Delamou Alexandre , Marchal Bruno 
Published: July 2021

Introduction : Cette étude avait pour objectif d’identifier les facteurs ayant influencé la faible performance du projet d’Observatoire communautaire sur l’accès aux services de santé (Ocass) pendant sa mise en œuvre, de 2014 à 2017 en Guinée et de formuler des recommandations pour la suite du projet. Méthodes : Il s’agissait d’une étude qualitative utilisant le cadre de performance multipolaire de B. Marchal et al. , adapté du Modèle d’évaluation globale et intégrale de la performance des systèmes de santé (Egipss), du cadre de Sicotte. Les données ont été collectées à l’aide d’une feuille de calcul Excel ® développée conformément aux quatre fonctions du cadre d’analyse : prestation des services, atteinte des buts, interaction avec l’environnement et sauvegarde des valeurs et la culture organisationnelle. Résultats : L’absence d’une évaluation initiale des capacités techniques, opérationnelles et organisationnelles de l’organe de mise en œuvre et la non-prise en compte des besoins spécifiques du projet en termes de ressources (financières, matérielles et humaines) ont été déterminantes dans la faible performance de l’Ocass. La faible implication des acteurs nationaux, l’épidémie d’Ebola et la multiplicité des acteurs autour de l’Observatoire ont également joué un grand rôle dans la non-atteinte de l’objectif du projet. Conclusion : Notre étude a révélé que la prise en compte du contexte national dans la mise en place de projet de responsabilité sociale est essentielle. La réalisation d’une évaluation de base demeure quant à elle demeure une étape fondamentale pour garantir son succès.
