Abstract

The gut dysbiosis is associated with the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Probiotics have been demonstrated to impact disease progression via the gut-brain axis. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic potential of Akkermansia Muciniphila Akk11 (AKK11) in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mouse model. Our results indicated that AKK11 administration significantly improved the MPTP-induced behavioral abnormalities, reduced the loss of dopaminergic neurons, microglia activation, reversed the production of inflammatory cytokines, and colonic damage. Mechanistic studies showed that AKK11 administration suppressed inflammatory responses by inhibiting microglial NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In summary, AKK11 alleviated MPTP-induced motor deficits and neural damage by inhibiting microglial NLRP3 inflammasome. These findings suggest that AKK11 supplementation has therapeutic potential in treating PD through the gut-brain axis.

Abstract

As a critical reinforcing phase in matrix and coating materials, enhancing the hardness of TiFe2 significantly improves the upper limits of alloy performance through low-concentration doping. However, the mechanism by which doping alters macroscopic hardness through the disturbance of electronic structure remains unclear. Furthermore, there is a lack of robust experimental evidence to substantiate the hardness enhancements predicted by theoretical calculations. This investigation assessed the strengthening effect of silicon (Si) on the hardness of TiFe2 through both calculations and experiments. First-principles calculations indicated that Si alloying enhances the structural stability and hardness of TiFe2. The mechanisms underlying the notable increase in hardness due to Si were thoroughly investigated from the perspective of bonding characteristics. Si alloying disrupted the original symmetric electronic structure and increased the prevalence of directional covalent bonds. Successful single-crystal preparation experiments confirmed the stability of the doped structure. The results of nano-hardness testing address the deficiency of accurate experimental data on hardness enhancement. This study provides a systematic approach to improving the mechanical properties of TiFe2 and offers new insights into the development of advanced materials with enhanced hardness.
Propagation and blocking of bistable waves by variable diffusion
Authors: Ninomiya Hirokazu , Nakajima Keita 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Biological diffusion processes are often influenced by environmental factors. In this study, we investigate the effects of variable diffusion, which depend on the point between the departure and the arrival points, on the propagation of bistable waves. This process includes neutral, repulsive, and attractive transitions. Using singular limit analysis, we derive the equation for the interface between two stable states and examine the relationship between wave propagation and variable diffusion. In particular, when the transition probability depends on the environment at the dividing point between the departure and the arrival points, we derived an expression for the wave propagation speed that includes this dividing point ratio. More specifically, the threshold between wave propagation and conditional blocking in a one-dimensional space occurs when the transition probability is determined by a dividing point ratio of 3:1 between the departure and the arrival points. Furthermore, as an application of this concept, we consider the Aliev-Panfilov model to explore the mechanism for generating spiral patterns.

Authors: Song Yanliqing , Chen Lin , Liu Haoqiang , Liu Yue 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Objective
To explore the relationship between nap time, nighttime sleep, and depression among Chinese residents, and to determine recommended sleep durations to provide scientific and reasonable evidence for the prevention and control of depression among residents.
Methods
Based on the 2020 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), demographic data, health, and lifestyle information of the study subjects were obtained. A total of 6795 valid samples were included. Logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, and subgroup analysis were used to explore the relationship between sleep and depression.
Results
Compared to participants with nighttime sleep < 7 hours, those with nighttime sleep ≥ 7 hours were found to have a protective factor against the likelihood of depression. Compared to participants without a napping habit, those with nap times of 30–90 minutes were found to have a protective factor against the likelihood of depression. There was a U-shaped dose-response relationship between nighttime sleep and depressive symptoms (P-nonlinear < 0.001), with the likelihood of depression decreasing from 7.5 hours of sleep to about 8.5 hours, and the lowest likelihood of depression occurring around 8.5 hours of sleep. There was no nonlinear relationship between nap time and depression (P-nonlinear = 0.889). This study revealed a U-shaped dose-response relationship between nighttime sleep and depressive symptoms. Specifically, the probability of depressive symptoms significantly decreased when nighttime sleep increased from 7.5 hours to 8.5 hours. Subgroup analysis further showed that in all subgroups, individuals with self-rated general health or chronic diseases had a protective effect against the likelihood of depression if their sleep duration was 7–9 hours. The effect of nap time of 30–90 minutes on depression did not differ between baseline or demographic factors.
Conclusion
There is a U-shaped relationship between nighttime sleep and depressive symptoms among Chinese residents. Nighttime sleep of 7–9 hours is only associated with the likelihood of depression in certain subgroups, while appropriate nap time has a general preventive effect on depression for all participants. Considering the importance of both nighttime sleep and nap time in preventing depressive symptoms, it is essential to reasonably arrange sleep durations.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
India's diverse geography presents significant flood risks, analyzed in this study using geographic information systems and multi-criteria decision analysis. This comprehensive flood risk assessment considers seven parameters: mean annual precipitation, elevation, slope, drainage density (DD), land use and land cover, proximity to roads, and distance to rivers. The findings indicate that flood vulnerability is primarily influenced by rainfall, elevation, and slope, with DD, land use, and proximity to roads and rivers also playing crucial roles. Experts weighed these factors to create a thorough flood risk map using the normalized rank index and normalized weight index, categorizing areas into five risk levels: very high, high, moderate, low, and very low. The study reveals that 3.40% of the area is at very high risk, 32.65% at high risk, 39.72% at moderate risk, 20.97% at low risk, and 3.25% at very low risk. These results highlight how human and natural factors interact to influence flood risk, with vulnerable areas characterized by low elevations, steep slopes, high drainage densities, and proximity to rivers or roads. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, scientists, and local authorities to develop strategies to mitigate flood losses across India's varied landscapes.
The Nexus Between Financial Stability and Economic Growth in Southeast Asia
Authors: Kenedi Kenedi 
Published: November 2024

AbstractFinancial stability is an important part of economic growth. The main objective of this study is to analyse how financial stability (using Bank Z-Score) affects economic growth. The data used is country-level data from five selected Southeast Asian countries (Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand) for the period 2011 – 2021 using the ARDL model approach. The results of this study found strong evidence that financial stability (banking stability) has a positive effect on economic growth for countries in the Southeast Asian region. This study also reveals that it is not only important financial stability variables to achieve economic growth, but investment and trade openness must also be increased if the country is to achieve its expected economic growth. A positive correlation between investment and trade openness suggests a potential for these factors to contribute to economic growth synergistically.

Background and purpose: National joint replacement registries were developed for prospective monitoring of outcomes and post-market surveillance of implants. Increasingly registry data informs practice. However, analysis of a registry can only be as good as the data it captures on the population of interest. We aimed to analyze completeness of reporting of hip and knee replacement procedures for all national registries worldwide.Methods: We analyzed annual reports and data provided following written requests to all active national hip and knee replacement registries. Coverage was defined as the proportion of hospitals in the country that participate in the registry. Procedure completeness was defined as the proportion of procedures successfully captured by the registry.Results: 14 national registries were included, spanning years 2004 to 2022. Coverage was complete in 10. Median procedure completeness for primary hip and knee replacement across all years was 96.5% (interquartile range [IQR] 94.0–97.7%). Median procedure completeness for revisions was 88.5% (IQR 81.0–92.5%). The terminology used and method of calculation of completeness estimates in the registries were variable.Conclusion: National hip and knee replacement registry data generally reflects excellent coverage (full in 10 of 14 registries) and completeness (primary procedures 96.5% and revisions 88.5%) over the last 2 decades.

The focus of this study is to analyze collaborative governance and strengthening household resilience to disasters. The theory used is the collaborative governance theory from Emerson et.al and the household resilience theory from Karbon et.al. This research uses a mix method research approach. Data collection techniques started from participant observation techniques, in-depth interviews, unstructured discussions, survey techniques and group interview methods. The unit of analysis in this study were individuals and households at the RW and RT levels. This study used data analysis of the Miles and Huberman model in qualitative analysis and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) analysis in quantitative approach. The results of this study showed that households at the Ciliwung Riverbank remain resilient in disaster areas due to their success in building cooperation and creating new behaviors. Cooperation was carried out not only at the household level but also at the national level. This success showed that households were able to take action together, carry out risk reduction activities and are able to increase the capacity of economic life in the household. The novelty in this study is that collaborative governance creates new behaviors to reduce the impact of disasters and strengthen household resilience to stay in the disaster area.
Retrospective evaluation of enteral nutrition supplementation in 295 hospitalized dogs and cats (2014–2023)
Authors: Freilich Leah , Jugan Maria C. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to describe clinical and hospital-related factors associated with time to feeding tube placement in hospitalized dogs and cats.

METHODS
This was a retrospective study from January 2014 through December 2023. Medical records at an academic veterinary teaching hospital were reviewed for small animal patients in the ICU with nasogastric or esophageal feeding tube placement for enteral nutrition due to inadequate food intake during hospitalization. Patients with feeding tubes placed prophylactically at hospital admission for surgery or physical inability to eat were excluded. Factors associated with placement including species, disease, inappetence, nutritional plans, and medical record recording of caloric intake were reviewed.

RESULTS
295 patients (89 cats and 206 dogs) were included. Median duration of hospitalization prior to feeding tube placement was 2 days (0 to 17 days) and was shorter in cats. Weekend admission and initial placement of an esophageal tube were associated with increased time to placement. Adequate feeding instructions were provided for only 53 of 295 patients (18%) and associated with both higher likelihood of having caloric intake recorded (OR, 10.30) and earlier feeding tube placement.

CONCLUSIONS
Provision of enteral nutrition occurred later than recommended by nutritional guidelines in many hospitalized patients. Clinician inclusion of specific diet instructions, weekday admission, and initial nasogastric tube placement reduced this duration.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Multiple factors may impact timely provision of nutrition in hospitalized dogs and cats. Close attention to energy requirements and exact food intake should be considered to optimize patient nutritional care.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to find and examine the rights of children outside of marriage to their father's property in the patrilineal community in Bali. Related to this, the problem is: are children outside of marriage who are cared for by their biological father entitled to their property without adoption and, what is the legal status in the patrilineal society in Bali? This research is an emipirical legal research by using field data as primary data. The research found that out-of-wedlock children who were not adopted by the father did not have a legal relationship with the father, because there was no legal action.In the absence of a legal relationship, legally the out-of-wedlock child, even though it is properly cared for economically at the father's house because there is no adoption act, does not have the status of an adopted child. As a result, the child in question is not entitled to his father's property and everything related to his father. The absence of legal action means that there is no legal consequence so that the legal status is unclear in the home and family of the father.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan dan mengkaji hak anak luar kawin terhadap harta ayahnya pada masyarakat patrilineal di Bali. Terkait hal itu, permasalahannya: apakah anak luar kawin yang dipelihara oleh ayah biologisnya berhak atas hartanya tanpa ada pengangkatan anak dan, bagaimana status hukumnya pada masyarakat patrilineal di Bali? Ini merupakan penelitian hukum emipiris dengan menekankan pada data lapangan sebagai data primer. Penelitian menemukan bahwa anak luar kawin yang tidak diangkat anak oleh ayahnya, tidak mempunyai hubungan hukum dengan ayahnya, karena tidak ada perbuatan hukum. Dengan tidak adanya hubungan hukum maka secara hukum anak luar kawin tersebut walaupun dipelihara dengan layak secara ekonomi di rumah sang ayah karena tidak ada perbuatan pengangkatan anak maka tidak berstatus sebagai anak angkat. Akibatnya, anak yang bersangkutan tidak berhak atas harta ayahnya dan segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan sang ayah.

общие габариты оптической системы, отсутствие двойного отражения
световых лучей, недопущение ситуации, когда видеокамера отражается
в зеркалах. Выполнена постановка задачи условной оптимизации, в качестве
целевой функции выбран периметр прямоугольника, ограничивающий
оптическую систему.
В рамках данной работы мы добавили в модель набор ограничений,
которые задают конфигурацию рабочей зоны, она образована пересечением
полей зрения двух виртуальных камер. Соответствующие изменения были
внесены в программу для численного решения задачи условной оптимизации
с использованием пакета SciPy. Продемонстрированы примеры решения задачи
для различных исходных данных. Полученные результаты расширяют теорию
компьютерного зрения и могут быть использованы в создании и исследовании
систем компьютерного зрения для робототехнических комплексов и систем
неразрушающего контроля.
