Authors: Ba'wanh Said Mohamed Ali 
Published: June 2024

This study aims—by adopting the inductive and deductive methodologies—to study the features of the Prophetic method in building and nurturing the creative personality among youth, in light of authentic evidence from the Prophetic tradition. The research seeks to answer the following questions: How does the Prophetic tradition consider the creative character? What are the features of the Prophet's approach in building the creative character on both psychological and intellectual levels? FHow did the features of the Prophet's approach also manifest in nurturing the creative character? The importance of the study lies in its contribution to examining the reality of creativity in the Islamic nation and using those features as a standard to gauge the nation's proximity or distance from the correct foundational principles for developing creative individuals in various aspects of life. The research also aims to outline the Prophet’s methodology in building and nurturing the creative personality, to serve as a roadmap for the Islamic nation in the creative development of its members. This will help them understand their reality, meet their desires and needs, ensure proper care befitting creatives, and alert wise leaders and decision-makers to gaps and weaknesses that need to be addressed and corrected in the Islamic creative endeavor. The study, through the results it has reached, has observed various aspects of Prophetic care for the issue of creativity through the applications of the noble Prophetic guidance in the psychological and intellectual development of the creative individual, and in creating a nurturing system for the creative personality that ensures the integrity of the development, its protection, monitoring, and proper guidance.

Måleegenskaper ved den norske versjonen av Assessment, Intervention and Moving On (AIM3); utredningsmodellen
Authors: Borren Ingrid , Skar Ane-Marthe Solheim 
Published: June 2024

Beskrivelse: Assessment, Intervention and Moving On (AIM) er et tverrfaglig, veiledende rammeverk for fagpersoner som jobber med barn og ungdom opp til 18 år med problematisk seksuell atferd (PSA) eller skadelig seksuell atferd (SSA). AIM1 ble først introdusert i 2002 av Henniker, Print og Morrison fra prosjektgruppen bak det såkalte AIM-prosjektet i Storbritannia (internasjonal rettighetshaver). AIM-rammeverket består av flere elementer som kan benyttes for å både identifisere og behandle PSA eller SSA, inkludert en AIM-sjekkliste, en AIM utredningsmodell og AIM behandlingsveileder. AIM utredningsmodellen har blitt revidert to ganger og siste versjon, AIM3, ble introdusert i 2019 og oversatt til norsk i 2020 av Ressursenheten V27, Betanien sykehus (norsk rettighetshaver) og Regionalt ressurssenter om vold, traumatisk stress og selvmordsforebygging (RVTS) Nord. Denne artikkelen fokuserer på AIM3 utredningsmodellen. AIM3 utredningsmodellen inkluderer 5 domener med 5 faktorer (ledd) per domene - totalt 25 faktorer, som indikerer grad av bekymring/risiko. Bruk av AIM3 utredningsmodellen er forbeholdt fagfolk som har deltatt på AIM3-kursene og som har gjennomført kompetansetest. Målgruppa for opplæring av utredningskomponenten i AIM3 er ansatte i spesialisthelsetjeneste, familievern, barnehus, barnevernsansatte, helsesykepleiere, kommunepsykologer, konfliktråd og friomsorg.
Litteratursøk: Litteratursøket resulterte i én inkludert norsk artikkel. Deltakerne i denne studien var 56 norske fagpersoner rekruttert på AIM3-kurs som skåret tre kasusvignetter (konstruerte kasus basert på informasjon fra tidligere ekte, anonymiserte kasus). Dokumentasjonsgrunnlaget omfatter dermed ingen psykometrisk informasjon basert på reelle populasjoner.
Psykometri: Resultatene fra skåring av kasusvignettene viste at AIM3 har moderate intraklassekorrelasjoner; 0,55 (95 % KI = 0,47, 0,63) for faktorskåren (alle 25 ledd x 3 kausvignetter x 56 fagpersoner) og ICC 0,70 (95 % KI = 0,55, 0,85) for domeneskåren (sumskår for de 5 domenene x 3 kasusvignetter x 56 fagpersoner).
Konklusjon: Litteraturgjennomgangen viser at det mangler norske og skandinaviske studier på reelle populasjoner (kun skåring av konstruerte kasusvignetter) som kan belyse AIM3s måleegenskaper når den er brukt i norsk kontekst. Det er dermed ikke mulig å trekke noen konklusjon rundt de psykometriske egenskapene til AIM3.

Authors: Ji Chenxinyu , Li Yun-Fei , Yao Yao , Zhu Zengrui , Mao Shengfeng 
Published: June 2024

Background
Colletotrichum species are among the most common pathogens in agriculture and forestry, and their control is urgently needed.

Methods
In this study, a total of 68 strains of biocontrol bacteria were isolated and identified from Photinia × fraseri rhizosphere soil.

Results
The isolates were identified as Brevibacillus brevis by 16S rRNA. The inhibitory effect of TR-4 on Colletotrichum was confirmed by an in vitro antagonistic experiment. The inhibitory effect of TR-4 was 98% at a concentration of 10 µl/ml bacterial solution, protection of the plant and inhibition of C. siamense was evident. Moreover, the secretion of cellulase and chitosan enzymes in the TR-4 fermentation liquid cultured for three days was 9.07 mol/L and 2.15 µl/mol, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy confirmed that TR-4 destroyed the cell wall of C. siamense, resulting in leakage of the cell contents, thus weakening the pathogenicity of the bacteria.

Authors: Liu Chuannan , Yan Xujie , Zong Yue , He Yanan , Yang Guan , Xiao Yue , Wang Songtao 
Published: June 2024

Background
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a key hormone factor that regulates glucose and lipid homeostasis. Exercise may regulate its effects and affect disease states. Therefore, we sought to determine how exercise affects FGF21 concentrations in adults.

Methods
The review was registered in the International Prospective Systematic Review (PROSPERO, CRD42023471163). The Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were searched for studies through July 2023. Studies that assessed the effects of exercise training on FGF21 concentration in adults were included. The random effect model, data with standardized mean difference (SMD), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to evaluate the pooled effect size of exercise training on FGF21. The risk of heterogeneity and bias were evaluated. A total of 12 studies involving 401 participants were included.

Results
The total effect size was 0.3 (95% CI [−0.3–0.89], p = 0.33) when comparing participants who exercised to those who were sedentary. However, subgroup analysis indicated that concurrent exercise and a duration ≥10 weeks significantly decreased FGF21 concentrations with an effect size of −0.38 (95% CI [−0.74–−0.01], p < 0.05) and −0.38 (95% CI [−0.63–−0.13], p < 0.01), respectively.

Conclusion
Concurrent exercise and longer duration may be more efficient way to decrease FGF21 concentrations in adults with metabolic disorder.
Perception and Problems of Kitchen Gardening in Jamnagar District of Gujarat, India
Authors: Aambaliya Paresh , Dudhagara Chetan R. , Mahera Ashish B. 
Published: June 2024

India has experienced a green revolution in cereal production, providing food security but also necessitating a shift in nutrient supplemental crop production. Kitchen garden production is a simple way to ensure access to a healthy diet with adequate macro- and micronutrients, leading to direct income through surplus production and indirect income through savings and better trade. The study on Perception and Problems of Kitchen Gardening explored the socio-economic profiles, perceptions, and problems faced by kitchen gardeners in the Jamnagar region. Surveying 210 respondents, the study utilized semi-structured schedules and analysed the data using tabular, percentage, Garrett ranking, and weighted average mean methods. Study found that 40.48% of respondents came from families with over five members, while most had families of three to five members. Researchers surveyed respondents from various income groups. Over half of the respondents (51.90%) were engaged in agriculture and dairy farming. Kitchen garden sizes generally ranged from 51-100 sq. ft. to over 150 sq. ft., with traditional backyard gardens being the most prevalent. All participants were active in kitchen gardening, motivated by self-sufficiency, healthier eating, and sustainable living. Popular vegetables growing in kitchen gardening included cluster bean, tomatoes, brinjals, and okra in the study area. Despite recognizing the benefits, respondents also reported few problems which were impeding their practice in kitchen gardening. Addressing these issues is crucial for improving productivity and promoting sustainable food production practices.

Tissue‐Specific Lipoprotein Lipase: Relationships to Body Composition and Body Fat Distribution in Normal Weight Humans
Authors: Yost Trudy J. , Jensen Dalan R. , Eckel Robert H. 
Published: September 2012

AbstractTwenty‐six normal weight subjects (22 female, 4 male) were studied to determine the relationships of fasting levels of lipoprotein lipase in gluteal adipose tissue (ATLPL) and skeletal muscle (SMLPL) to body composition and body fat distribution. No relationship was found between fasting gluteal ATLPL and percent (%) body fat There was, however, an inverse relationship between fasting SMLPL (from the vastus lateralis) and %body fat (p=0.005). A strong inverse correlation was also seen between fasting ATLPL and waist/hip ratio (p=0.0006), a measurement of body fat distribution. These relationships existed with or without the male subjects included. The tissue‐specific relationships of lipoprotein lipase to body composition and body fat distribution could relate to the development of obesity or the maintenance of normal body weight by the effects of the lipase on the partitioning of lipoprotein triglyceride fatty acids.
Body Mass and Risk of Hip Fracture Among a National Cohort of Postmenopausal White Women: A Reanalysis
Authors: DiPietro Loretta , Welch Gavin A. , Davis Dorothy R. , Drane J. Wanzer , Macera Caroline A. 
Published: September 2012

AbstractTo assess the prospective relationship between body mass and rate of hip fracture, we analyzed data from 2,285 postmenopausal women, aged 50–77 years, who responded to the fwst National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) in 1971–1974 and the 1982‐84 interview of the National Health Epidemiologic Follow‐up Study (NHEFS). We plan to add to the previous analysis of these same data by Farmer et al. by 1) including retrospective information on estrogen replacement therapy; 2) increasing the follow‐up time by 5 years and using only hospital‐verified cases of hip fracture from the 1987 Health Care Facilities Stay data tape; and 3) limiting the analysis to postmenopausal white women, ages 50–77 years. Results of the multivariable Cox regression modeling showed that women with a baseline body mass index in the highest quartile (> 37 kg/m1.5) experienced a 70% lower rate of hip fracture compared with women in the lowest quartile (≤ 28.7 kg/m1.5)(RR=0.32; 95%CI:0.12, 0.82). Age was positively related to the risk of hip fracture, with the rate over 20% higher per year of age (RR=1.21; 95%CI:1.13, 1.29). Although reported education level, smoking history, physical activity level, and estrogen replacement were significantly (p < 0.0001) associated with body mass index, these covariates were not related to hip fracture in the multivariable analysis. Our findings corroborate earlier results using this same data source, and suggest that interventions aimed at preserving lean mass and comequent bone integrity should be encouraged among women before menopause and maintained through older adulthood.
Metabolism of Different Adipose Tissues in Vivo in the Rat
Authors: Li Min , Yang Shumin , Bjömtorp Per 
Published: September 2012

AbstractTo explore regional differences in triglyceride retention in white adipose tissues of growing male rats, the mass of adipocytes from epididymal, retroperitoneal, inguinal, and mesenteric tissues were followed with time. In order to attempt to explain regional differences, adipose tissue metabolism was studied in vivo and in vitro. (U‐14 C) oleic acid in sesame oil was given by gastric gavage to conscious male and female rats, and accumulation and half‐life of radioactivity measured. Lipoprotein lipase activity and lipolysis were studied in vitro.Adipocyte triglyceride mass increased linearly in all the depots during 4 months of observation. The increase in mass was more pronounced in retroperitoneal (0.31 μg) and epididymal (0.30 μg) than in mesenteric (0.11 μg) or inguinal (0.05 μg) adipocytes.In the fed state label from (U‐14C) oleic acid first increased with time in liver, muscle, and adipose tissues. In the liver radioactivity peaked at 4 hours, and was not measurable in either liver or muscle after a time point between 24 hours to 1 week. In contrast label continued to increase in adipose tissues up to about 16 hours to 24 hours, suggesting transfer of label by recirculation from liver and muscle to adipose tissues. Thereafter the radioactivity decreased.When expressed per adipocyte uptake of label was not significantly different between white adipose tissues. The rate of decrease between 7 days and 4 months was, however, more rapid in mesenteric and inguinal than, particularly, epididymal, and, probably, retroperitoneal adipocytes. These results were partly parallel to in vitro data on lipoprotein lipase activity, which was not different between depots, and the rate of lipolysis, which was higher in mesenteric than other adipocytes. These results suggest that differences in weight increase of adipose tissue regions are due mainly to differences in the rate of mobilization of adipocyte triglycerides.When expressed per gram triglyceride, uptake and mobilization of label were clearly more rapid in mesenteric than other white adipose tissues. This is probably explained by a combination of a higher adipocyte density plus the metabolic characteristics of adipocytes in this depot. Since mesenteric adipose tissue is smaller than the other depots studied, the absolute contribution of this tissue to the energy supply of the body is probably not different from that of other adipose tissues, however.A large uptake and short half life was observed in interscapular adipose tissue. This region contains brown adipocytes, and the results therefore suggest that lipid uptake for thermogenic purposes is of a considerable magnitude.It was concluded that among white adipose tissues, the mesenteric tissue has a rapid turnover of triglyceride. This is probably due to a combination of a high density and specific metabolic characteristics of these adipocytes. Factors in the microenvironment of adipocytes probably contribute to the high turnover either directly, or by modification of cellular characteristics.
Altered Brown Adipose Tissue and Na,K Pump Activities During Diet‐Induced Obesity and Weight Loss in Rats
Authors: Harper Mary‐Ellen , Patrick John , Himms‐Hagen Jean 
Published: September 2012

AbstractBrown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis is an uncoupled ATPase‐independent thermogenic mechanism. Ion transport by the Na,K pump is an ATPase‐ dependent thermogenic mechanism. Both have been proposed as mechanisms of altered energy expenditure during states of dietary energy surfeit and deficit. Our aim was to study these mechanisms during diet‐induced obesity and weight loss. Over 36 weeks rats were fed lard‐ or tallow‐based diets (63% energy as fat), or a control diet (12% energy as fat). During periods of restriction rats were fed 50% of the energy intake of controls in the form of a control diet. Several components of thermogenic response increased in rats eating high fat diets and decreased following dietary restriction. BAT activation occurred, particularly with a lard‐based diet, as indicated by increased GDP binding and uncoupling protein (UCP) content. Na,K pump activity in thymocytes increased with the feeding of both high fat diets at some time points. Plasma T3 level increased in rats eating the lard‐based diet and decreased with dietary restriction regardless of previous diet. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) of the animals was unchanged despite increases in these thermogenic components and was decreased in all groups following dietary restriction. Our results indicate a lack of any major role for activated BAT thermogenesis in mitigating the extent of the obesity induced by the high fat diets. The reasons for the differences in response to the two different sources of saturated fat, lard, and tallow, are not clear.
The Social Self, Body Dissatisfaction, and Binge Eating in Obese Females
Authors: Grilo Carlos M. , Wiljley Denise E. , Jones Adele , Brownell Kelly D. , Rodin Judith 
Published: September 2012

AbstractWe examined the relationship of the social self to body dissatisfaction and to binge eating in two clinical samples of obese females. In the first study, with 32 nonbingeing obese females, social self measures of Public Self‐Consciousness and Social Anxiety were positively correlated with body dissatisfaction. Self‐esteem was negatively correlated with body dissatisfaction. In the second study, 11 obese binge eaters were compared with 11 matched nonbingeing obese females. Binge eaters were characterized by significantly higher levels of social anxiety and body dissatisfaction than the obese nonbingeing controls. These findings support the hypothesized links of social self concerns to body dissatisfaction and to binge eating in obese females.
Influence of Opioids in Hypothalamic Nuclei on Cold Thermogenesis of Lean and Obese LA/N‐cp Rats
Authors: Rodd Donald W. , Loomis Joseph L. , Farrell Peter A. 
Published: September 2012

AbstractAn overactive endogenous opioid peptide system (EOP) in the hypothalamus of the obese rats could contribute to a subnormal metabolic response to cold stress. Specific mu, delta, kappa opioid receptor antagonists and naloxone were infused into cannulaes aimed at the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of awake freely moving obese (LA/N‐cp corpulent) and lean littermate rats. Metabolic responses were measured by indirect calorimetry during thermoneutrality (30°C) and at 10°C for 60 minutes each. When expressed relative to metabolic body size (kg−.75) obese rats had lower values (obese = 21.1 ± 1.9 vs. lean = 27.9 ± 2.7 ml·kg−.75.min, mean ± s.d., p<0.05) at 10°C during saline infusion. EOP antagonist infusions at 30°C had no effect on metabolic rate for either lean or obese animals. Mu (23.5 ± 3.4 ml·kg.‐75· min) and delta (23.0 ± 2.0) antagonism and naloxone (25.0 ± 2.3) significantly increased the metabolic response to cold in obese but not lean rats. These data suggest that certain subtypes of EOP receptors in or near PVN are overactive in obese rats. This overactive state may inappropriately inhibit the thermogenic response to cold stress in obesity.
