Abstract
To achieve a sustainable conservation or adaptation strategy, it is necessary to understand the impacts of habitat and weather on particular species. Hence the study was focused to analyze the parameters that influence the population of house sparrow in various locations of Madurai Dist. Furthermore, its present and future suitable habitats have been predicted using computational tools. Statistical analysis and correlation were performed with data gathered through random sampling. Using correlation analysis, the association between various parameters was studied. Hierarchical clustering of data was performed by a Kendall Correlation coefficient to identify the suitable habitat and weather. Subsequently the Selection of the major parameters of a study was determined using Principal Component Analysis approach. The study highlights the significance of utilizing data mining and computational analysis to precisely understand the influence of various geographical parameters on the distribution and survival of the house sparrow population in an area. Based on the results obtained, abundance and distribution of house sparrow were closely related to the area of habitat in which house sparrows were found. The preference of particular habitat can be briefly explained using Kendall Correlation Matrix and cluster analysis. Using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique, the population density of the house sparrow was studied. Taking these computational analyses into account will provide a new perspective on predicting the species distribution in the specific area thereby conserving it.

Abstract
The effects of dietary glutathione on growth performance, skin antioxidant capacity, and immune responses and of juvenile taimen (Hucho taimen) were investigated. The experimental fish had a mean initial weight of 5.36 ± 0.13 g and were fed for eight weeks on diets containing graduated amounts of glutathione (0, 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg kg−1). After the 7 d lipopolysaccharide challenge, the immune parameters of the skin mucus, and antioxidant ability were determined. The treatment groups (400 – 800 mg kg−1) showed a higher survival rate and weight gain rate (P < 0.05). There were higher levels of skin mucus protein, lysozyme activity, and alkaline phosphate activity associated with dietary glutathione supplementation (P < 0.05). Dietary glutathione supplementation improved the minimal inhibitory concentration and antimicrobial activity of the skin mucus (P < 0.05). Fish in the treatment groups showed higher superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase activity (P < 0.05), whereas the malondialdehyde content was lower (P < 0.05) than those in the control group. Supplementary glutathione decreased the expression levels of TNF-α, IL1β, IL6, IL8 in the skin and ensured the relatively high expression levels of IκBα after lipopolysaccharide challenge. In conclusion, dietary glutathione (400 – 800 mg kg−1) improved the growth performance, decreased lipopolysaccharide-induced skin inflammatory response, indicating that glutathione has the potential anti-inflammatory effects for preventing inflammation diseases in juvenile taimen.

Abstract

Background
Sleep disorders persist in renal transplant patients and are an important determinant of low quality of life. This study aims to investigate the mediating role of rumination in the relationship between fatigue and sleep quality in kidney transplant recipients.
Method
A descriptive cross-sectional research design was implemented from April to September 2021.A general information questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20), and Rumination Response Scale (RRS) were used to investigate 192 kidney transplant patients who were re-examined at the outpatient departments of three first-class hospitals in Jinan, Shandong Province, China. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient and mediation analyses were used for the statistical and descriptive statistics analyses.
Results
The prevalence of sleep disorders among kidney transplant recipients was 19.3%. With rumination as a mediator, fatigue indirectly affected the patients’ sleep quality. This indirect effect was 0.10 (95% confidence interval: 0.154, 0.419). Medical staff should focus on fatigue symptoms and rumination of patients to enhance sleep quality of kidney transplant recipients.
Conclusions
The incidence of sleep disorders after renal transplantation was high.Rumination exerts a mediating role between fatigue and sleep quality.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the correlation of neck circumference with abdominal circumference and body mass index in patients with metabolic syndrome in Chocope, Trujillo. This cross-sectional study included patients with untreated metabolic syndrome. Health professionals measured the anthropometric parameters of participants as per the international guidelines. Pearson’s correlation coefficients and single and multiple regression models were used for analysis. Data from 250 participants showed homogeneous distribution with respect to age, comorbidities, and biochemical properties according to sex. The mean age was 53.6 years. A positive correlation of neck circumference with abdominal circumference (r = 0.6 and 0.74 for females and males, respectively) and body mass index (r = 0.51 and 0.65 for females and males, respectively) was observed. The linear correlation model showed that a 1-cm increase in neck circumference increased the abdominal circumference by 2.20 cm (p < 0.001) and 2.27 cm (p < 0.001) and body mass index by 0.72 kg/m2 (p < 0.001) and 0.94 kg/m2 (p < 0.001) in males and females, respectively, independent of other variables. In participants with metabolic syndrome in this study, neck circumference showed a strong correlation with abdominal circumference and body mass index. This anthropometric parameter can be extremely useful for evaluating obesity among patients with metabolic syndrome.
Quantum approximate optimization for hard problems in linear algebra
Authors: Borle Ajinkya , Elfving Vincent , Lomonaco Samuel J. 
Published: November 2021

The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) by Farhi et
al. is a quantum computational framework for solving quantum or
classical optimization tasks. Here, we explore using QAOA for binary
linear least squares (BLLS); a problem that can serve as a building
block of several other hard problems in linear algebra, such as the
non-negative binary matrix factorization (NBMF) and other variants of
the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) problem. Most of the
previous efforts in quantum computing for solving these problems were
done using the quantum annealing paradigm. For the scope of this work,
our experiments were done on noiseless quantum simulators, a simulator
including a device-realistic noise-model, and two IBM Q 5-qubit
machines. We highlight the possibilities of using QAOA and QAOA-like
variational algorithms for solving such problems, where trial solutions
can be obtained directly as samples, rather than being amplitude-encoded
in the quantum wavefunction. Our numerics show that even for a small
number of steps, simulated annealing can outperform QAOA for BLLS at a
QAOA depth of p\leq3p≤3
for the probability of sampling the ground state. Finally, we point out
some of the challenges involved in current-day experimental
implementations of this technique on cloud-based quantum computers.
ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS SOCIAIS NO BRASIL: A FORMAÇÃO DO PENSAMENTO SOCIAL BRASILEIRO E AS LUTAS PELA INSTITUCIONALIZAÇÃO NO ENSINO MÉDIO
Authors: Da Silva Souza Karla Danielle , Lopes Júnior Fernando Francelino 
Published: November 2021

O Ensino de Ciências Sociais no Brasil tem sua trajetória marcada por muitos elementos: políticos, ideológicos e culturais. Seu percurso de busca pela consolidação na Educação Básica está relacionado à formação do pensamento social brasileiro que transita entre a importação de teorias estrangeiras ao modelo nacional até as mudanças no imaginário da cultura e identidade brasileiras. As lutas em busca da institucionalização do Ensino de Ciências Sociais/Ensino de Sociologia (nomenclatura que recebe na etapa do Ensino Médio) se configuram, inicialmente, como necessidade de uma Sociologia pragmática e crítica e também como instrumento de cidadania. Posteriormente, a presença da Sociologia na Rede Básica se apresenta a partir de duas especificidades, características próprias: estranhamento e desnaturalização, conforme apontam os documentos oficiais que versam sobre essa etapa de ensino, OCN’s (Orientações Curriculares Nacionais) e PCN’s (Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais). Esse trabalho se estrutura a partir da relevância de pensadores como Antônio Cândido, Silvio Romero, Manoel Bonfim, Alberto Tôrres, Euclides da Cunha, Oliveira Vianna, Florestan Fernandes, Octavio Ianni, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, Gilberto Freyre, entre outros, para a formação do pensamento social brasileiro. Procuramos estabelecer um diálogo entre as contribuições desses autores e a consolidação da obrigatoriedade do Ensino de Sociologia no Educação Básica no Brasil. Para isso, contamos com a colaboração de autores como Dimas (2009), Florêncio (2009), Kinzo (2001), Liedke Filho (2005) e outros. Nossas reflexões iniciais apontam para um cenário permeado por uma trajetória de transformações, avanços e retrocessos no contexto político e social nacional acompanhado de mudanças na formação do pensamento social brasileiro. Nesse sentido, compreendemos a importância dos estudos desenvolvidos pelos autores citados para as interpretações sobre o Brasil, sua cultura e sua identidade até as configurações atuais. Esses fatores desencadeiam processos significativos que perpassam os movimentos que vão resultar na presença do Ensino de Ciências Sociais nos currículos acadêmicos e escolares.
CREATIVE IMAGINATION, TRAGIC-POETIC ART AND EDUCATION OF SENSIBILITIES
Authors: Silva Luzia Batista de Oliveira , Tavernard Ivone Oliveira , Tavernard Junior 
Published: November 2021

This article aims to discuss about how creative imagination, tragic art and the education of sensibilities provides images of dreams of flying, ascension and freedom, contributing to the understanding of a poetic education of the child and the adult. The aesthetics of the poems and the literary lessons attest that art educates the sensibilities. We recognize this in Bachelard when he approaches the education-poetics in childhood and in the tragic-poetic art of Nietzsche, according to The Birth of Tragedy and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In these works, the images are full of dreams of freedom represented in the ascents to the mountain summit, in the pure air breath and in the contemplation of aerial landscapes, which enables the individual -from a privileged position - to become a lover of life, who refuses its heavy side, its dark elements, the melancholy atmosphere, the disseminated Greek serenity. The heights, the silence against the crowd and the noise, as well as "states of soul" - in Bachelard's vision and analysis of the work "Thus spoke Zarathustra" - are at the same time exalted and reveals the dreams of freedom, of ascension and moral elevation.
Keywords: Culture. Poetic Education. Aesthetics. Bachelard. Nietzsche.
Solubility Enhancement of Glipizide and Development of its Fast-dissolving Oral Film
Authors: Pawar Harshal Ashok , Momin Mohd Saif Mohd Akram 
Published: November 2021

Background:
Difficulty in swallowing tablet dosage form is common among all ages
people, especially old and pediatrics. Fast dissolving oral films (FDOFs) may represent an innovative
dosage type that settles the issue of gulping and supply fast onset of action.

Objective:
The objective of the present investigation was to increase the solubility of poorly soluble
Glipizide (BCS Class II) by solid dispersion technique and develop its FDOFs.

Methods:
A solvent evaporation process was used to make a solid dispersion of the Glipizide. The
saturation solubility of glipizide and its solid dispersion was determined in a different solvent. For
the film preparation, solvent casting method was chosen. The excipients were selected based on
pre-formulation data. The composition of the film was optimized based on a trial-and-error basis using
different concentrations of plasticizer. The average weight, thickness, disintegration time, tensile
strength, surface pH, folding endurance, drug content, and in-vitro dissolution analysis of the
films were all taken into consideration.

Results:
There was no incompatibility between drug / solid dispersion and the excipients. The solid
dispersion of the glipizide showed improved solubility by almost 10 folds. Many of the formulated
films disintegrated in less than 30 seconds. At the end of 5 minutes, the optimized film had released
more than 90% of the compound. The prepared films were found to be stable at room temperature.

Conclusion:
The solubility of Glipizide was improved successfully by solubilization technique using
soluplus. The FDOFs of the glipizide were successfully formulated using pullulan as polymer.

Published: November 2021

Background:
The prevalence and scope of dermatological illness differ
from region to region. Based upon type and severity, the conditions may vary
from superficial to deep systemic skin infections. Niacinamide, an amide analog
of vitamin B3 which was conventionally utilized as a food supplement, is now explored
for the management of skin disorders. Being a powerhouse on its own, it
is not stored inside the body naturally and has to be acquired from external
sources.

Areas covered:
This review is an attempt to disclose the physiology, pharmacology,
and highlight the dermatological potentials of niacinamide, discussing its
pharmacological mechanisms, varied commercially available treatments, and novel
approaches, i.e., in research and patented formulations.

Results:
Niacinamide has been verified in treating almost every skin disorder,
viz. aging, hyperpigmentation, acne, psoriasis, pruritus, dermatitis, fungal infections,
epidermal melasma, non-melanoma skin cancer, etc. It has been reported
to possess numerous properties, for instance, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial,
antioxidant, antipruritic, and anticancer, which makes it an ideal ingredient for
varied dermal therapies. Long term use of niacinamide, regardless of the skin
type, paves the way for new skin cells, makingskin healthier, brighter, and hydrated.

Conclusion:
Niacinamide possesses a variety of positive characteristics in the
field of dermatology. Novel approaches are warranted over current treatments
which could bypass the above shortcomings and form an effective and stable system.
Hence, niacinamide has the potential to become an individual and a productive
component with wide future scope.

Authors: Wu Xiaoqian , Xu Lin , Li PengFei , Tang TingTing , Huang Cheng 
Published: November 2021

Background
Mental disorders impose varying degrees of burden on patients and their surroundings. However, people are reluctant to take the initiative to seek mental health services because of the uneven distribution of resources and stigmatization. Thus, mobile apps are considered an effective way to eliminate these obstacles and improve mental health awareness.

Objective
This study aims to evaluate the quality, function, privacy measures, and evidence-based and professional background of multipurpose mental health apps in Chinese commercial app stores.

Methods
A systematic search was conducted on iOS and Android platforms in China to identify multipurpose mental health apps. Two independent reviewers evaluated the identified mobile apps using the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS). Each app was downloaded, and the general characteristics, privacy and security measures, development background, and functional characteristics of each app were evaluated.

Results
A total of 40 apps were analyzed, of which 35 (87.5%) were developed by companies and 33 (82.5%) provided links to access the privacy policy; 21 (52.5%) apps did not mention the involvement of relevant professionals or the guidance of a scientific basis in the app development process. The main built-in functions of these apps include psychological education (38/40, 95%), self-assessment (34/40, 85%), and counseling (33/40, 82.5%). The overall quality average MARS score of the 40 apps was 3.54 (SD 0.39), and the total score was between 2.96 and 4.30. The total MARS score was significantly positively correlated with the scores of each subscale (r=0.62-0.88, P<.001). However, the user score of the app market was not significantly correlated with the total MARS score (r=0.17, P=.33).

Conclusions
The quality of multipurpose mental health apps in China’s main app market is generally good. However, health professionals are less involved in the development of these apps, and the privacy protection policy of the apps also needs to be described in more detail. This study provides a reference for the development of multipurpose mental health apps.

Published: November 2021

Brown Planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stal (Hemiptera: Delpachidae) is the important pest of rice. The infestation of BPH reduced the rice yield on rice producer countries in Asia. In Indonesia, the area of BPH infestation frequently fluctuated over the year. BPH directly caused hopper burn and also vector of rice grassy stunt virus (RGSV) and rice ragged stunt virus (RRSV). This study aimed to evaluate the resistance of some rice varieties to different BPH population in Java. Three BPH populations collected from Karawang (West Java), Pekalongan (Central Java) and Kendal (Central Java) were used in this study. The rice resistance was evaluated by conducting honeydew test. There were eight rice varieties tested i.e Sembada 168, Ciherang, Inpari 32, Inpari 33, IR 64, TN1, Ratu Heenati and PTB 33 with five replications. A number of 200 female adults (five females per plot) were starved for 2 hours before inserting to pot containing one seedling. The BPH adults were allowed to feed 40-day-old plants for 48 hours. The area of honeydew excreted by BPH was measured using software Image J. We used analysis of variance (ANOVA) and cluster analysis with ward method and similarity index of Euclidean distance to analyze the rice resistance to BPH. The study indicated three groups of rice resistance level. The variety of Sembada 168 and TN1 were susceptible to BPH. Variety of Ciherang, Inpari 32, Inpari 33 and IR 64 were moderately resistant to BPH. However, PTB 33 and Ratu Heenati were strongly resistant to BPH population of Java.

Published: November 2021

Yellowing diseases is one types of plant diseases which are found in some of the centers of cultivation of yard long bean in Bali. The spread of yellowing diseases caused the presence of vector insects, such as whiteflies and alternative host plants, such as weeds and other crops. This problem is then examined through statistical modeling in order to determine the pattern of the relationship between the incidence of yellowing disease with the populations of whiteflies and the alternative host plants. Collection of data on the yellowing disease incidences, the abundance of whiteflies, and the existence of alternative host plants was done through a direct observation in 100 farmer fields in several centers of cultivation of yard long beans in Bali. Determination of the best mathematical model was performed by linear regression analysis with ordinary least squares method. The results indicated that the best models for the relationship between the incidence of yellowing disease (KPK) with the population of whiteflies (KB) as well as the alternative host plants of yellowing were as follows: KPK = 1,2265 KB0,9872 TIAK1,0936 (R2 = 98,43 %; P-value = 0,000). The incidence of yellowing disease was highly significant positively correlated with the population of whiteflies and yellowing symptomatic alternative host plants. The existence of alternative host plants around the field was very decisive in triggering the emergence of yellow virus disease in the crop.
