The Wall in the Middle of the Book by J. Agee
Authors: Baird Spencer 
Published: June 2019

Agee, Jon. The Wall In The Middle Of The Book. Penguin-Random House Canada, 2018.
Jon Agee is a beloved author and illustrator who, through his many books, has accumulated praise and awards alike. The Wall in the Middle of the Book, is his 23rd book and it’s a beautiful and simplistic story that incorporates his brand of humour and valuable lessons. Agee, however, takes a unique direction with this book in his use of a literary device by breaking the fourth wall to make the story meta. The story follows a knight who explains the situation of there being a wall in the middle of the book that you, the reader, is reading. The knight is content with the situation, as he knows of all the perceived dangers on the other side of the wall including an ogre, who he believes would eat him if he gets caught. The knight is then put into a situation where he has to face his preconceived notions to survive. The fourth wall break was an interesting and engaging metafictive device to use in the story.
The book had simple writing that would juxtapose what illustrations were showing, like when the knight would say how great things were on his side while the water began to rise and danger loomed, adding to the humour. The Wall in the Middle of the Book’s lesson is very useful in today’s world, and the idea of what or who lies on the other side of “walls” in the world, and not assuming what those things or people are like. This book easily could work for a number of audiences based on the simplicity and depth of moral lesson it touches on. This would also be effective in showcasing a dialogue-driven book. This book is an elementary level book that can be universally enjoyed in all classrooms.

When Paul Met Artie: The Story of Simon and Garfunkel by G. Neri
Authors: Ferguson Emma 
Published: June 2019

Neri, Gregory. When Paul Met Artie: The Story of Simon and Garfunkel. Illustrated by David Litchfield, Candlewick Press, 2018.
The legacy of folk-rock duo Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel lives on in When Paul Met Artie: The Story of Simon and Garfunkel, a non-fiction illustrated story/biography. It details the friendship and success shared by two boys from a Jewish neighbourhood in Queens through their passion for music. Opposites in height, confidence, and interests, Paul and Artie are drawn together by each other’s humour, talent, and shared dream of hearing their songs on the radio. This beautiful story celebrates the ups and downs the boys experience through the decades as they draw inspiration from rock legends like Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, rockabilly pioneers like Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee Lewis, and folk activists like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.
Written in free-form prose, each spread of this book features one large illustration, each titled with a Simon and Garfunkel song name. David Litchfield’s illustrations are almost animated in nature—they are imaginative, complex, and emotionally evocative in their use of perspective, shadow, and colour to convey a mood. Neri’s words are just as artistic, using adjectives such as “cascading,” “rapturous,” “blistering,” and “crooning” to describe the music experienced and created by Paul and Artie. The prose is rich and descriptive, though perhaps better suited to grade five and older due to the advanced vocabulary and the occasionally mature content.
This story is one that can be shared between adults who grew up alongside Paul and Artie and children who have yet to hear this timeless story about two Jewish boys rising to stardom.

Effect of zirconia substructure thickness on the mechanical properties and adhesion of veneering porcelain
Authors: Lungareze Daniel , Cunha Giovanni , Mariscal Muñoz Eduardo , Fonseca Renata Garcia , Adabo Gelson 
Published: June 2019

Aim: This study investigated the influence of yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) thickness on fracture load of porcelain-veneered crowns (FL), fracture toughness of porcelain (FT), and the shear bond strength zirconia/porcelain (SBS). Methods: Artificial first molar was prepared for full crown (N=45) with different occlusal reduction. Y-TZP cores were made with different thickness at the occlusal face (1mm, 2mm and 3mm) (n=15). The cores were veneered with VM9 – Vita porcelain with 1.0 mm layer. For FL testing, axial load was applied to the mesiolingual cusp of the crowns. For FT testing, flat Y-TZP plates (5X5 mm) with 1, 2 or 3 mm thickness were veneered with 1.0 mm porcelain layer (n=10). FT by indentation fracture technique was measured close to the interface and at the top surface. For SBS by knife-edge shearing rod, cylindrical porcelain with 5 mm in diameter and 3 mm was applied on flat Y-TZP plates (1, 2 and 3 mm thickness) (n = 10). Results: Data analyzed by 1-Way ANOVA for FL of crowns and SBS between Y-TZP and porcelain were not significant. Two-way ANOVA for FT was significant for zirconia thickness and measurement area. The post-hoc test showed higher values for the groups with 2 and 3mm, and higher values at the interface, irrespectively of Y-TZP thickness. Conclusion: The zirconia thickness did not affect the FL of veneered crowns and the SBS between the ceramics, but FT of porcelain was lower in thinner zirconia substructure and close to the interface Y-TZP/Porcelain.

Published: June 2019

Aim: The prevalence of denture stomatitis and the relationship with its risk factors was evaluated via secondary data from 62 complete denture (CD) wearers, between 2015 and 2017. Methods: The data was stored in an Excel database and was analyzed using the statistics software STATA/SE 12.0. A descriptive analysis was performed taking into account a categorization of the clinical variables according to risk factor in 4 domains: CD usage, systemic health, hygiene habits, and usage habits. The association amongst the denture stomatitis and risk factors variables was tested by the Chi-square test and the results were statistically significant at p-values <0.05. Results: The CD wearers participants were composed by a majority of elderly (80.64%) and women (72.78%); with 45.16% having been using the current denture for more than 10 years and another 74.19% related a continuous usage. Diabetes and hypertension were related by 83.87% and 67.74%, respectively, with 87.10% using medication. Although 75.80% reported cleaning their dentures 3 times per day or more, and 59.68% considered their oral hygiene very good, 50% of the complete dentures showed dirtiness and clinical signs of Denture Stomatitis were present in 30.64% of the patients. Despite of the evaluated sample shows many risk factors for the development of the disease, an association between the variables was not observed. Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of the disease in the studied sample, preventive and educational measures on denture usage and hygiene must be reinforced in order to maintain the oral health of the edentulous patients.

Improved Hydrocarbon Recovery Using Mixtures of Energizing Chemicals in Unconventional Reservoirs
Authors: Mohanty Kishore K. , Tong Songyang , Miller Chammi , Zeng Tongzhou , Honarpour Matt M. , Turek Edward , Peck Doug D. 
Published: June 2019

Summary
The objective of this work is to design and evaluate an effective blend of chemicals that can be injected into shale (black oil or critical fluid) reservoirs to enhance hydrocarbon recovery. The blend can be implemented as a prepad fluid ahead of hydraulic–fracturing fluid or as a remedial fluid later in the life of a well. A chemical blend (CB) consisting of an organic solvent (OS), a surfactant, and an oxidizing agent (OA) (in conjunction with an acid) was designed, developed, and tested in the laboratory on crushed rocks, core plugs, and fractured cores to evaluate the interactions of the chemicals with the shale samples. Microcomputed–tomography (micro–CT) scanning, scanning electron microscopy, and Brinell hardness tests were used to evaluate surface changes in the shales.
The results of laboratory experiments demonstrate that the CB extracts up to 30% of mobile oil in crushed rocks and improves permeability by 25 to 100% in thin core plugs. Some of the mechanisms that might support the CB application are as follows: (1) pressurization of the formation and reopening of the closed fractures, thus improving well productivity; (2) extraction and mobilization of low–mobility oil, remnants of the original kerogen, removal of deposited salt, and trapped water in matrix and fracture network that impedes fluid flow; (3) creation of pathways to high–pressure liquid–rich small organic pores, where hydrocarbon liquids are trapped, adsorbed, and dissolved in the kerogen; (4) creation of flow pathways for the intrusion of aqueous–based fluids in oil–wet organic–rich rocks with wettability alteration to accelerate the injection, countercurrent imbibition, and osmotic processes; and (5) enhancement of porosity and permeability of fracture surfaces by the introduction of a delayed reaction mechanism to deliver acids deeper into the microfracture network without compromising rock mechanical properties. The presence of sulfate ions in the OA did not contribute to any noticeable scale deposit while delaying the reactivity of acid with inorganic components of shale surfaces. Several field trials have been conducted successfully in the Eagle Ford (EF) Formation.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background: Valeriana officinalis L. is one of the most important medicinal plant with a mild sedative, nervine, antispasmodic and relaxant effect. Despite a substantial number of studies on this species, population genomics has not yet been analyzed. The main aim of this study was: characterization of genetic variation of natural populations of V. officinalis in Poland and comparison of variation of wild populations and the cultivated form using Next Generation Sequencing based DArTseq technique. We also would like to establish foundations for genetic monitoring of the species in the future and to develop genetic fingerprint profile for samples deposited in gene bank and in natural sites in order to assess the degree of their genetic integrity and population structure preservation in the future.Results: The major and also the most astounding result of our work is the low level of observed heterozygosity of individual plants from natural populations despite the fact that the species is widespread in the studied area. Inbreeding, in naturally outcrossing species such as valerian, decreases the reproductive success. The analysis of the population structure indicated the potential presence of metapopulation in a broad area of Poland and the formation of a distinct gene pool in Bieszczady Mountains. The results also indicate the presence of individuals of the cultivated form in natural populations in the region where the species is cultivated for the needs of the pharmaceutical industry and this could lead to structural and genetic imbalance in wild populations.Conclusions: The DArTseq technology can be applied effectively in genetic studies of V. officinalis. The genetic variability of wild populations is in fact significantly lower than assumed. Individuals from the cultivated population are found in the natural environment and their impact on wild populations should be monitored.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background: Stroke is a chronic non-communicable disease results from infraction or spontaneous hemorrhage in the brain. The burden of stroke is increasing in alarming rate globally. In 2013 there were 6.5 million stroke deaths, 113 million disability-adjusted life years due to stroke from this, 75.2% of all stroke mortality and 81.0% of stroke-related disability- adjusted life years are from the developing countries. In Ethiopia, 7% of total deaths are attributed by stroke. This study aims to assess the determinants of stroke among patients with hypertension in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia, in 2018.
Methods: Hospital-based case-control study was conducted from February to April 2018. Cases were adult hypertensive patients with stroke and controls were adult hypertensive patients without stroke. Using a systematic random sampling technique 89 case and 356 controls were included in this study. Record review, physical measurement and interview techniques were used to collect data. Data was entered and analyzed by using SPSS version 23. Variables with a p-value less than 0.25 in bivariate logistic regression were selected for multivariable logistic regression. The adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were used to determine the association. P-value <0.05 was used to declare statistical significance in multivariable analysis.
Result: The mean age of cases were 56.3years (SD±13.53years) and 51.9 years (SD±12.67 years) for controls. Majority 59 (66.3%) of the case and around one third 106(30%) of controls were non-adherent to medication. Lost to follow up (AOR=2.474, 95%CI: 1.368-4.929), alcohol drinking (AOR=2.440, 95%CI: 1.291-4.613), use of salty diet (AOR=3.249, 95%CI: (1.544-6.837), medication non-adherence (AOR=3.967, 95%CI: 2.256-6.973), uncontrolled systolic blood pressure, (AOR=3.196, 95%CI: 1.60-6.382), uncontrolled diastolic blood pressure (AOR=2.204, 95%CI: 1.130-4.297) and high cholesterol level(AOR=2.413, 95%CI: 1.319-4.414) were found to be significant determinants.
Conclusion: Alcohol consumption, lost to follow up, salty diet, high cholesterol level and uncontrolled systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly associated with stroke so, health education on lifestyle practices and hypertension-related complications in each follow-up visit through health professionals are very essential to avert the problem.

Candidate Regulators of Dyslipidemia in Chromosome 1 Substitution Lines Using Liver Co-expression Profiling Analysis
Authors: wang maochun , Xu Fuyi , Hu Shixian , Zhou Yuxun , Li Kai , Xu Hongyan , Xiao Junhua 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background

Dyslipidemia is the major risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Although many genetic factors have been unveiled, large fraction of the phenotypic variance still needs further investigation. Chromosome 1 (Chr 1) harbors multiple gene loci related to blood lipid regulation, nevertheless, it’s challenging to identify the functional genes.

Results

We constructed a mouse population, chromosome 1 substitution lines (C1SLs), of which Chr 1 differ from recipient C57BL/6J (B6) mouse while others remain the same. Therefore, any phenotype variance between C1SLs and B6 can be easily inferred to Chr 1. In the current study, we assayed plasma lipids and glucose in 13 C1SLs and their recipient strain B6. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis of the liver transcriptome and “guilty-by-association” study, eight associated modules of plasma lipids and glucose were identified. Further joint analysis of human genome wide association studies revealed 48 candidate blood lipids or glucose regulating genes. In addition, 38 genes on Chr 1 were also uncovered, in which 13 have been functional validated in mouse models.

Conclusions

These results suggest that C1SLs are ideal mouse models to study the complex traits and identify the candidate genes on Chr 1 with gene co-expression network analysis.
Evaluating Neonatal Resuscitation Skills of Practicing Nurses and Midwives in Selected Hospitals in Central Uganda
Authors: Namuguzi Mary , Drake Karen , Ekong Elizabeth Namukombe , Asuquo Ekaete Francis 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background: Uganda has a high neonatal mortality rate (27 per 1,000 live births), with birth asphyxia being the major contributor. Helping babies breathe (HBB) is an evidence-based program that aims to reduce neonatal mortality in resource-limited settings. Successful resuscitation depends on nurses’ and midwives’ knowledge and skills in neonatal resuscitation, and the state of neonatal resuscitation equipment. This study aimed to evaluate knowledge and skills retention in neonatal resuscitation after HBB training among nurses and midwives, and the state/availability of neonatal resuscitation equipment. Methods: This study used a cross sectional design. Participants were 75 nurses and midwives from two hospitals in Central Uganda. Data were collected using questionnaires and observation checklists. Ethics approval was obtained from the Uganda Christian University and the research and ethics committees of the participating hospitals. Results: Nurses and midwives showed a high level of knowledge (92%). However, neonatal resuscitation skills among 44 observed participants were poor, as 68.2% failed to check equipment and select the correct mask and 45.5% did not make a firm seal when applying the mask. In addition, about 72% of participants did not ventilate at a rate of 40 breaths per minute, and 18.2% failed to assess chest movement. Observation of 44 resuscitations to evaluate the state/availability of neonatal resuscitation equipment showed that 27.3% did not have a suction device, 59.1% did not have a heat source/pre-warmed towels to warm the babies, 50% did not have appropriate self-inflating bags and masks for normal and preterm babies, 72.7% had no clock/watch to count heart rate and determine the length of time ventilation was required, and 36.4% did not document that resuscitation was performed. Conclusions: To address Uganda’s neonatal mortality rate, it is necessary to develop regulatory policies for neonatal resuscitation and build nurses’ and midwives’ skills for active interventions during neonatal resuscitation.
