Authors: OSINOWO O. A, 
Published: March 2021

COMPONENTS of an intensive sheep production system including oestrus synchronization, artificial insemination and early rebreeding were investigated in two trials with Yankasa sheep. Treatment of ewes with progrestagen pessaries for 12 days resulted in good synchronization of first and second post-treatment oestrus. In Trial I, (January–February, 1982) 33 ewes were treated, of which 81.8% showed oestrus within 4 days after the end of progrestagen treatment while 72.7% showed a second oestrus within 21 days. In Trial II, (August – September, 1982), 48 eyes were treated, of which 87.5 and 77.1% showed first and second oestrus respectively over the same periods as in Trial I. Mean interval (± s.e.m) between first and second induced oestrus in both trials was 16.4 ±0.1 days (n = 61). About 90% of ewes exhibiting oestrus were detected 2 to 4 and 17 to 20 days after progrestagen treatment for first and second oestrus respectively.
Lambing reates of ewes to artificial insemination or natural mating at the second induced oestrus in Trial I were 50.0 and 91.7% respectively, Corresponding lambing rates in Trial II were 65.0 and 86.70%.
Rebreeding interval in ewes which lambed in Trial I was 59.1 ±0.8 days following commencement of progestagen treatment approximately one month after lambing. Lambing rate in this group was 78.6%.

Abstract. Land subsidence caused by groundwater overpumping threatens the sustainable development in Beijing. Hazard assessments of land subsidence can provide early warning information to improve prevention measures. However, uncertainty and fuzziness are the major issues during hazard assessments of land subsidence. We propose a method that integrates fuzzy set theory and weighted Bayesian model (FWBM) to evaluate the hazard
probability of land subsidence measured by Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology. The model is structured as a directed
acyclic graph. The hazard probability distribution of each factor triggering land subsidence is determined using Bayes' theorem. Fuzzification of the factor significance reduces the ambiguity of the relationship between the factors and subsidence. The probability of land subsidence hazard under multiple factors is then calculated with the FWBM. The subsidence time series obtained by InSAR is used to infer the updated posterior probability. The upper and middle parts of the Chaobai River alluvial fan are taken as a case-study site, which locates the first large-scale emergency groundwater resource region in the Beijing plain. The results show that rates of groundwater level decrease more than 1 m yr−1 in the confined and unconfined aquifers, with cumulative thicknesses of the compressible sediments between 160 and 170 m and Quaternary thicknesses between 400 and 500 m, yielding maximum hazard probabilities of 0.65, 0.68, 0.32, and 0.35, respectively. The overall hazard probability of land subsidence in the study area decreased from 51.3 % to 28.3 % between 2003 and 2017 due to lower rates of groundwater level decrease. This study provides useful insights for decision makers to select different approaches for land subsidence prevention.

Published: March 2021

Background: Pediatric obesity is a major public health concern worldwide. Improving dietary and physical activity habits at a young age could prevent many health complications during adulthood and later years.Objective: This paper describes the application of the Intervention Mapping protocol for the systematic development of the Lebanese intervention “Sahtak bi Sahnak” (meaning Your health in your plate) that focuses on preventing pediatric obesity and promoting a healthy lifestyle through a systematically designed and culturally appropriate, school-based program.Method: The development of this intervention is based on the six steps of the Intervention Mapping (IM) protocol. This intervention targets Lebanese adolescents aged 15–18 years enrolled in Lebanese public and private high schools, located in urban and rural areas. Its effectiveness will be tested in a Clustered Randomized Controlled Trial in 16 high schools.Discussion and conclusion: The IM protocol allowed us to develop a theory based, low resource intervention which can be integrated as part of the educational curriculum of public and private high schools in Lebanon. This study provides a detailed example of the application of the IM approach in the Lebanese high school context. Even though it is a time-consuming process, IM serves as a valuable tool in the health promotion field and provides a high level of transparency to improve and replicate the process in the future.

Authors: ERTUĞ Burcu 
Published: March 2021

Sr-hexaferrite samples were produced via the conventional ceramic method. X-ray diffractometry (XRD) patterns confirmed the single nanocrystal phase as Sr-hexaferrite where any pattern peaks of unreacted Fe2O3 phase were not detected. The mean crystallite size values were determined to be 44.12±3.4nm and 41.2±3.2nm for SHF-O1 and SHF-O2, respectively. The chemical bonding peaks of our sample indicated that the structure of Sr-hexaferrite formation was confirmed by FTIR spectra result. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicated clearly observed porosity regions with relative densities as high as 94% and 87% for SHF-O1 and SHF-O2 samples.The vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) of each sample at 2K and under a magnetic field of 10 kOe yielded saturation magnetizations, Ms of 93.5 and 94.1 emu/g; remanence values, Mr of 76.4 and 67.8 emu/g for SHF-O1 and SHF-O2, respectively. The magnetization loops of both samples indicated a soft ferrimagnetic behaviour in which the saturation magnetizations were higher than those measured at room temperature in the previous studies. The coercivities, Hc were measured to be 150Oe for both samples. The squareness values, SQR (Mr/Ms) were measured to be high, approximately 0.82 and 0.72 for SHF-O1 and SHF-O2, respectively. Depending on the adequate values of magnetization and coercivity along with small mean crystallite size and low porosity values of the obtained Sr-hexaferrite samples, we estimate that these samples are likely to be evaluated further for the potential use as thermoseeds in the field of clinical hyperthermia.

A sífilis é um grave problema de saúde pública que apresentou uma grande progressão de casos em Minas Gerais até o ano de 2018. É principalmente transmitida pelas relações sexuais sem proteção, por isso é considerada uma Infecção Sexualmente Transmissível. Além disso, apresenta formas de transmissão por transfusões sanguíneas, congênita e por meio da amamentação. A sífilis é causada pela bactéria Treponema pallidum e pode atingir as pessoas em todas as idades; contudo, apresenta consequências especialmente perigosas no recém-nascido, pela infecção vertical, como alta morbimortalidade, natimorto, aborto espontâneo, prematuridade, baixo peso ao nascer, sequelas neurológicas e óbito neonatal. Portanto, a Sífilis Gestacional (SG) é um problema que merece constante atualização. Assim, este artigo objetiva analisar os números referentes aos casos confirmados de sífilis em gestantes no território mineiro no período de 2009 ao primeiro semestre de 2019. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, feito a partir da extração de informações disponíveis no site do Departamento de Doenças de Condições Crônicas e Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis, da Secretaria de Vigilância em Saúde, acerca dos diagnósticos de SG em Minas Gerais no período de 2009 ao primeiro semestre de 2019. As variáveis analisadas foram o número de diagnósticos da SG por idade gestacional (primeiro, segundo ou terceiro trimestre), faixa etária (10 a 40 anos ou mais), escolaridade (entre analfabeto e superior completo), raça ou cor (branca, preta, amarela, parda ou indígena), classificação clínica (primária, secundária, terciária ou latente) e esquema de tratamento (Penicilina, outro esquema ou não realizado). Portanto, após a análise dos dados obtidos evidenciou-se que o diagnóstico dessa doença em gestantes foi cerca de 18,9% do valor total de casos no território do estado mineiro no primeiro semestre de 2019. O valor total de casos diagnosticados nessa classe de pacientes foi de 20.348 entre 2009 e 2019, sendo a prevalência no terceiro trimestre de gestação, 39,41%. Além disso, entre os anos de 2009 e 2018 os casos diagnosticados de SG aumentaram 1.485%, sendo o maior valor de 58,3% (2011 para 2012) e o menor 8% (2015 para 2016), além disso, de 2017 para 2018 o aumento foi de 32,2% e no primeiro semestre de 2019 o valor já passava de 38% do número contabilizado no ano anterior (4.851). Os dados mostraram que os casos diagnosticados no início da gravidez têm aumentado e que não se pode relacionar a baixa escolaridade à infecção por SG em Minas.
Taxonomic revision of the Malagasy Aphaenogaster swammerdami group (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Authors: Csősz Sandor , Loss Ana C. , Fisher Brian L. 
Published: March 2021

Background
Madagascar is famous for its extremely rich biodiversity; the island harbors predominantly endemic and threatened communities meriting special attention from biodiversity scientists. Continuing ongoing efforts to inventory the Malagasy ant fauna, we revise the species currently placed in the myrmicine genus Aphaenogaster Mayr. One species described from Madagascar, Aphaenogaster friederichsi Forel, is synonymized with the Palearctic A. subterranea Latreille syn. nov. This species is considered neither native to Madagascar nor established in the region. This revision focuses on the balance of species in the A. swammerdami group which are all endemic to Madagascar.

Methods
The diversity of the Malagasy Aphaenogaster fauna was assessed via application of multiple lines of evidence involving quantitative morphometric, qualitative morphological, and DNA sequence data. (1) Morphometric investigation was based on hypothesis-free Nest Centroid clustering (NC-clustering) combined with PArtitioning based on Recursive Thresholding (PART) to estimate the number of morphological clusters and determine the most probable boundaries between them. This protocol provides a repeatable and testable approach to find patterns in continuous morphometric data. Species boundaries and the reliability of morphological clusters recognized by these exploratory analyses were tested via confirmatory Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). (2) Qualitative, external morphological characteristics (e.g., shape, coloration patterns, setae number) were subjectively evaluated in order to create a priori grouping hypotheses, and confirm and improve species delimitation. (3) Species delimitation analyses based on mitochondrial DNA sequences from cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene fragments were carried out to test the putative species previously delimited by morphological and morphometric analyses.

Results
Five species can be inferred based on the integrated evaluation of multiple lines of evidence; of these, three are new to science: Aphaenogaster bressleri sp. n., A. gonacantha (Emery, 1899), A. makay sp. n., A. sahafina sp. n., and A. swammerdami Forel, 1886. In addition, three new synonymies were found for A. swammerdami Forel, 1886 (A. swammerdami clara Santschi, 1915 syn. n., A. swammerdami curta Forel, 1891 syn. n. and A. swammerdami spinipes Santschi, 1911 syn. n.). Descriptions and redefinitions for each taxon and an identification key for their worker castes using qualitative traits and morphometric data are given. Geographic maps depicting species distributions and biological information regarding nesting habits for the species are also provided.

Published: March 2021

AbstractA growing variety of biological macromolecules are in development for use as active ingredients in topical therapies and vaccines. Dermal delivery of biomacromolecules offers several advantages compared to other delivery methods, including improved targetability, reduced systemic toxicity, and decreased degradation of drugs. However, this route of delivery is hampered by the barrier function of the skin. Recently, a large body of research has been directed toward improving the delivery of macromolecules to the skin, ranging from nucleic acids (NAs) to antigens, using noninvasive means. In this review, we discuss the latest formulation‐based efforts to deliver antigens and NAs for vaccination and treatment of skin diseases. We provide a perspective of their advantages, limitations, and potential for clinical translation. The delivery platforms discussed in this review may provide formulation scientists and clinicians with a better vision of the alternatives for dermal delivery of biomacromolecules, which may facilitate the development of new patient‐friendly prophylactic and therapeutic medicines.
Construction and validation of an autophagy‐related long noncoding RNA signature for prognosis prediction in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma patients

Published: March 2021

AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this study was to identify autophagy‐associated long noncoding RNAs (ARlncRNAs) using the kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) patient data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and to construct a prognostic risk‐related ARlncRNAs signature to accurately predict the prognosis of KIRC patients.MethodsThe KIRC patient data were originated from TCGA database and were classified into a training set and testing set. Seven prognostic risk‐related ARlncRNAs, identified using univariate, lasso, and multivariate Cox regression analysis, were used to construct prognostic risk‐related signatures. Kaplan–Meier curves and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves as well as independent prognostic factor analysis and correlation analysis with clinical characteristics were utilized to evaluate and verify the specificity and sensitivity of the signature in training set and testing set, respectively. Two nomograms were established to predict the probable 1‐, 3‐, and 5‐year survival of the KIRC patients. In addition, the lncRNA‐mRNA co‐expression network was constructed and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were used to identify biological functions of ARlncRNAs.ResultsWe constructed and verified a prognostic risk‐related ARlncRNAs signature in training set and testing set, respectively. We found the survival time of KIRC patients with low‐risk scores was significantly better than those with high‐risk scores in training set and testing set. ROC curves suggested that the area under the ROC (AUC) value for prognostic risk score signature was 0.81 in training set and 0.705 in testing set. And AUC values corresponding to 1‐, 3‐, and 5 years of OS were 0.809, 0.753, and 0.794 in training set and 0.698, 0.682, and 0.754 in testing set, respectively. We established the two nomograms that confirmed high C‐index and accomplished good prediction accuracy.ConclusionsWe constructed a prognostic risk‐related ARlncRNAs signature that could accurately predict the prognosis of KIRC patients.
