AbstractEucalyptus species play an important role in the global carbon cycle, especially in reducing the greenhouse effect as well as storing atmospheric CO₂. Thus, assessing the amount of CO₂ released by the soil in forest areas can generate important information for environmental monitoring. This study aims to verify the relation between soil carbon dioxide (CO₂) flux (FCO₂), spectral bands, and vegetation indices (VIs) derived from a UAV-based multispectral camera over an area of eucalyptus species. Multispectral imageries (green, red-edge, and near-infrared) from the Parrot Sequoia sensor, derived vegetation indices, and the FCO₂ data from a LI-COR 8100 analyzer, combined with soil moisture and temperature data, were collected and related. The vegetation indices ATSAVI (Adjusted Transformed Soil-Adjusted VI), GSAVI (Green Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index), and SAVI (Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index), which use soil correction factors, exhibited a strong negative correlation with FCO₂ for the species E. camaldulensis, E. saligna, and E. urophylla species. A Multivariate Analysis of Variance showed significance (p < 0.01) for the species factor, which indicates that there are differences when considering all variables simultaneously. The results achieved in this study show a specific correlation between the data of soil CO₂ emission and the eucalypt species, providing a distinction of values between the species in the statistical data.

Authors: Lemos Marcelo Delboni , Barbosa Luciana Mendonça , Andrade Daniel Ciampi de , Lucato Leandro Tavares 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background Central neuropathic poststroke pain (CNPSP) affects up to 12% of patients with stroke in general and up to 18% of patients with sensory deficits. This pain syndrome is often incapacitating and refractory to treatment. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are widely used methods in the evaluation of CNPSP.
Objective The present study aims to review the role of neuroimaging methods in CNPSP.
Methods We performed a literature review of the main clinical aspects of CNPSP and the contribution of neuroimaging methods to study its pathophysiology, commonly damaged brain sites, and possible differential diagnoses. Lastly, we briefly mention how neuroimaging can contribute to the non-pharmacological CNPSP treatment. Additionally, we used a series of MRI from our institution to illustrate this review.
Results Imaging has been used to explain CNPSP pathogenesis based on spinothalamic pathway damage and connectome dysfunction. Imaging locations associated with CNPSP include the brainstem (mainly the dorsolateral medulla), thalamus (especially the ventral posterolateral/ventral posteromedial nuclei), cortical areas such as the posterior insula and the parietal operculum, and, more recently, the thalamocortical white matter in the posterior limb of the internal capsule. Imaging also brings the prospect of helping search for new targets for non-pharmacological treatments for CNPSP. Other neuropathic pain causes identified by imaging include syringomyelia, multiple sclerosis, and herniated intervertebral disc.
Conclusion Imaging is a valuable tool in the complimentary evaluation of CNPSP patients in clinical and research scenarios.

Authors: Lu Xin , Che Huiying , Guan Hongjian 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background While bibliometric analyses are prevalent in the medical field, few have focused on ther endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Objective To employ big data analysis to examine the research status, trends, and hotspots in endovascular treatment for AIS.
Methods We conducted a comprehensive search using the Web of Science (WOS) database to identify relevant articles on the endovascular treatment for AIS from 1980 to the present. We used various tools for data analysis, including an online platform (https://bibliometric.com/app), the Citespace software, the Vosviewer software, and the ArcMap software, version 10.8. A number of bibliometric indicators were collected and analyzed, such as publication date, country where the studies were conducted, institutions to which the authors were affiliated, authors, high-frequency keywords, cooperative relationship etc.
Results A total of 5,576 articles were retrieved. A substantial increase in the number of articles occurred after 2010. High-frequency keywords included terms such as large vessel occlusion, reperfusion, outcome, and basilar artery occlusion. Among the top 10 most productive authors, Raul G. Nogueira ranked first, with 136 published articles. Among the journals, The New England Journal of Medicine ranked first, with 5,631 citations. The United States has the closest collaborative ties with other nations.
Conclusion In the present study, we found that the reports of endovascular treatment for AIS gradually increased after 2010. Among them, Raul G. Nogueira was the most productive author in this field. The New England Journal of Medicine was the most cited, and it had the greatest impact. The Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands (MR CLEAN) trial study was the most cited, and it was a landmark study. There are many interesting studies on endovascular treatment for AIS, such as ischemic penumbra, collateral circulation, bridging therapy etc.
An essay on the Charcot and Richer hysteria: from charcoal drawings to cell phones
Authors: Caeira Marlon Wycliff , Coutinho Leo , Nascimento Igor Abrahim , Paola Luciano de , Teive Hélio Afonso Ghizoni 
Published: August 2024

AbstractHysteria, previously also known as the disease of the womb, has moved from being a woman's illness through the medieval times' stigma of demonic possession, to the modern concept of a functional neurological disorder. Interestingly to the present assay, Charcot (1825–1893) and Richer (1849–1933) described, in their 1887 work Les Démoniaques dans l'art, by means of iconography, semiological aspects of the so-called Grande Attaque Hystérique, which resembles features of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures emulating grand mal epileptic seizures. The aim of the present assay is to describe how those charcoal iconographic representations evolved through history and are nowadays portrayed in videos recorded at epilepsy monitoring units and patients' cell phones.
‘Our biology is listening’: biomarkers as molecular vestiges of early life and the production of positive childhood experiences in behavioral epigenetics
Authors: Jeffries Hein Robbin , Lappé Martine , Fahey Fionna Francis 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe sciences of environmental epigenetics and the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease have become central in efforts to understand how early life experiences impact health across the life course. This paper draws on interviews with epigenetic scientists and laboratory observations in the United States and Canada to show how scientists conceptualize epigenetic biomarkers as molecular vestiges of early life and the consequences this has for postgenomic approaches to health, risk, and intervention. We argue that this process demarcates early life as the optimal time to study and intervene in health and positions biomarkers as conceptual and methodological tools that scientists mobilize to reimagine early life environments. These environments include Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), which reflect an emergent and increasingly prominent epistemic object in behavioral epigenetics. Though distinct from widespread research on Early Life Adversity, we show how PCEs continue to essentialize experience in gendered and individualized ways. Further, this paper suggests that focusing on biomarkers as molecular vestiges of early life allows scientists to create stability despite ongoing epistemological and biological unknowns in epigenetics and DOHaD. Our findings contribute new perspectives to social studies of epigenetics, biomarkers, and the production of novel epistemic objects in postgenomic knowledge practices.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the fraud landscape focusing on the ecosystem of organizations involved in responding to fraud in the UK and beyond. These include the key organizations from public administration and law enforcement providing a detailed view on the wider organizations involved in detecting, preventing, and responding to fraud, corruption, and wider economic crime. It includes an introduction to the Public Sector Fraud Authority which launched in 2022, housed in the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury, with a mandate to provide strategic leadership, and counter fraud services to bolster capacity and capability for departments and public bodies. References are given to the Government Counter Fraud Profession and associated standards for counter fraud practitioners, including leadership, management, and strategy, with a focus on their practical application. Due to the design of the competency frameworks these have utility in a range of sectors describing the knowledge, skills, and behaviours that lead to excellence in leadership in this particular counter fraud context. The Fraud Management Model is described which was developed from domestic and international best practice, and considers how to deter and manage the risk of fraud. Other models are included to provide a range of options for leaders in this field to draw from in their roles now and in the future.

Abstract
This chapter offers an in-depth account of the annual meeting of the National Baptist Convention in 1960, a meeting that was plagued by controversy over the presidential election between Joseph H. Jackson and Gardner C. Taylor, that concluded several days earlier than planned, that produced a lawsuit against Jackson, and that resulted in two leaders claiming to be the duly elected president of the NBC. This chapter also charts the rise and fall of the alliance between the Jackson family and the family of Martin Luther King Jr. as well as the early discussions surrounding the launching of a new denomination: the Progressive National Baptist Convention.
A Resourceful and Pedagogical Approach to Teaching Students with Differences and Disabilities
Authors: Hammel Alice M , Hourigan Ryan M 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The most effective approach when working within a school and school system is to become a part of the existing team of professionals. Teachers often become compartmentalized when teaching music in another part of the building or when traveling from building to building. Successful child-centered schools function as teams, and active participation is important for each individual teacher and for the overall success of the school. This chapter examines team-building skills and how being proactive and positive can assist teachers as they become involved as integral “team members” within a school. This includes participating in the IEP/504 process as well as maintaining relationships with special education staff, therapists and other team members. Lastly, understanding how to approach caregivers regarding their children is an important consideration when teaching students with differences and disabilities.
Developing a Student-Centered and Inclusive Music Classroom
Authors: Hammel Alice M , Hourigan Ryan M 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter is designed to provide effective tools and strategies at the micro level (e.g., behavior and management techniques) and the macro level by informing the reader of philosophical underpinnings that encompass a successful inclusive classroom. The socialization and lasting relationships that all students develop in school are also of considerable importance. Therefore, it is imperative for music educators to strive for a caring, inclusive environment that is conducive for all students to learn. The practical strategies suggested at the end of this chapter are presented to encourage music educators to create a tolerant, caring classroom that is conducive for music teaching and learning. Many of the techniques discussed in this chapter are just examples of good teaching, regardless of what population of students you are teaching.
Teaching Music to Students Who Are Intellectually Gifted
Authors: Hammel Alice M , Hourigan Ryan M 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Most often, music educators adapt teaching to accommodate students who learn at a slower rate; however, it is important to also consider adapting one’s teaching for those students who learn at a faster rate than their peers. These students are often identified as being intellectually gifted. This chapter is specifically aimed at examining students who are intellectually gifted. A common conflation often occurs when music educators consider musical talent and intellectual giftedness as similar or the same. Musical talent is entirely separate from intellectual giftedness. We have chosen to focus on intellectual giftedness in this chapter to continue our discussion of the Cognition Domain in a way that is different from most Cognition Domain conversation.

Abstract

Background
Postoperative cognitive impairment are common neural complications in older surgical patients and exacerbate the burden of medical care on families and society.

Methods
A total of 140 older patients who were scheduled for elective orthopaedic surgery or pancreatic surgery with general anaesthesia were randomly assigned to Group S or Group I with a 1:1 allocation. Patients in Group S and Group I received intranasal administration of 400 μL of normal saline or 40 IU/400 μL of insulin, respectively, once daily from 5 minutes before anaesthesia induction until 3 days postoperatively. Perioperative cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Basic (MoCA-B) at 1 day before and 3 days after surgery and postoperative delirium (POD) incidence was assessed using the 3-minute Diagnostic Interview for CAM (3D-CAM) on postoperative days 1–3. Serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α), S100-β and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured on the first day after surgery.

Results
Insulin treatment significantly increased postoperative MMSE and MoCA-B scores in group I than in group S (P &lt; 0.001, P = 0.001, respectively), decreased the incidence of POD within the 3-day postoperative period in Group I than in Group S (10.9% vs 26.6%, P = 0.024), and inhibited postoperative IL-6 and S100-β levels in Group I compared to Group S (P = 0.034, P = 0.044, respectively).

Conclusions
Intranasal insulin administration is thus suggested as a potential therapy to improve postoperative cognition in older patients undergoing surgery. However, a more standardized multi-centre, large-sample study is needed to further validate these results.

Abstract
The accurate diagnosis of non-obstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia is crucial for selecting appropriate clinical treatments. This study aimed to investigate the pivotal role of microRNAs in circulating plasma extracellular vesicles in distinguishing between non-obstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia, as well as uncovering the signaling pathways involved in azoospermia pathogenesis. In this study, differential expression of extracellular vesicle miR-513c-5p and miR-202-5p was observed between non-obstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia patients, while the selenocompound metabolism pathway could be affected in azoospermia through Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis. The predictive power of these microRNAs was evaluated using receiver characteristic operator–area under the curve analysis, demonstrating promising sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve values. A binomial regression equation incorporating circulating plasma levels of extracellular vesicles miR-202-5p and miR-513c-5p along with follicle-stimulating hormone was calculated to provide a clinically applicable method for diagnosing non-obstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia. This study presents a potentially non-invasive testing approach for distinguishing between non-obstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia, offering a possibly valuable tool for clinical practice.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
This study aimed to understand the physiological mechanisms regulating parturition and to identify potential biomarkers to predict onset of birth. Additionally, we compared hormone profiles between cows with shorter and longer gestation lengths. Twenty-eight days before due date until 3d postpartum, cows (n = 18) were blood-sampled daily. Circulating concentrations were measured for progesterone and estradiol by RIA, testosterone, prostaglandin F2α metabolite, cortisol, pregnancy-specific protein B by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and lactate concentrations by colorimetric assay. At end of gestation, progesterone decreased from d-14 to d-4 (from 3.6 to 1.4 ng/mL), most likely from rapid loss of placental progesterone production (64% of decline in 24 h). A second rapid decrease in progesterone to undetectable concentrations was observed from d-2 to parturition (from 1.4 to 0.1 ng/ml; most likely luteal origin) corresponding to increase in prostaglandin F2α metabolite from d-2 to parturition (249.7 to 2868.4 pg/mL). E2 and pregnancy-specific protein B increased ~8-fold from ~13d before parturition with acute rise in E2 but not pregnancy-specific protein B (45% vs. 13% in first 24 h). Testosterone decreased slightly during the same period. Cortisol and lactate increased only at calving. Comparison of cows with shorter vs. longer gestation, when data were normalized to parturition day, a difference was detected in circulating E2 and prostaglandin F2α metabolite patterns, but not progesterone and pregnancy-specific protein B. Thus, the first significant hormonal changes associated with parturition begin at d-14 with E2 and pregnancy-specific protein B as two clear biomarkers of impending parturition. Cows with shorter and longer gestation had hormonal differences indicative of identifiable earlier placental maturation.
