The strength of balance: Strength and dynamic balance in children with and without hypermobility
Authors: Ituen Oluwakemi A. , Duysens Jacques , Ferguson Gillian , Smits-Engelsman Bouwien 
Published: June 2024

Background
Generalized Joint hypermobility (GJH) is predominantly non-symptomatic. In fact, individuals with joint flexibility usually perform better than their non-hypermobile counterparts during physical activities. Notwithstanding, strength and balance are essential to maintain the control of the extra range of motion during activities and to prevent musculoskeletal complications. There are limited and conflicting pieces of evidence in literature regarding the association between strength and balance in children with GJH.

Objectives
The purpose of this study was to examine differences in functional strength, dynamic balance, proprioception, and isometric strength in children with and without joint hypermobility and determine the association between strength outcomes and dynamic balance.

Method
A cross-sectional study was conducted among children aged 6 to 11. Hypermobility was determined using the Beighton Score, with scores ≥6 representing hypermobility. Functional strength was assessed with the Functional Strength Measure (FSM), isometric strength was determined with a handheld dynamometer (HHD), the Y-Balance Test (YBT) was used to assess dynamic balance and the Wedges test to measure proprioception.

Results
This study included 588 participants (age: 7.97 ± 1.3 years; height: 128±10.1 cm; mass: 27.18 ± 7.98 kg). 402 children were classified as having normal mobility and 186 as being hypermobile. Hypermobile children had better functional strength in the lower extremities than children with normal range mobility but lower reach distance in the YBT. No differences in proprioception, functional strength of the upper extremity or isometric strength in the hands were found. However, isometric lower extremity force was less in hypermobile children than children with normal range mobility. Irrespective of their joint mobility, a fair significant correlation existed between total Y-balance distance and FSM items r = 0.16–0.37, p = 0.01. Correlations between total Y-balance distance and isometric strength of knee and ankle muscles ranged between r = 0.26–0.42, p = 0.001.

Conclusion
Hypermobile joints seem to co-occur with lower extremity isometric strength, more functional strength in the lower extremities and less reaching distance in dynamic balance. The opposing direction of the results on functional and isometric strength tests highlights the importance of the type of outcome measures used to describe the association of strength and the range of motion.

Introduction
Maternal disorders are the third leading cause of sepsis globally, accounting for 5.7 million (12%) cases in 2017. There are increasing concerns about the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria commonly causing maternal sepsis. Our aim is to describe the protocol for a clinical and microbiology laboratory study to understand risk factors for and the bacterial etiology of maternal sepsis in a tertiary Obstetrics and Gynaecology Hospital.

Methods
This case-control study aims to recruit 100 cases and 200 controls at Tu Du Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which had approximately 55,000 births in 2022. Women aged ≥ 18 years and ≥ 28 weeks gestation having a singleton birth will be eligible for inclusion as cases or controls, unless they have an uncomplicated localised or chronic infection, or an infection with SARS-CoV-2. Cases will include pregnant or recently pregnant women with sepsis recognised between the onset of labour and/or time of delivery/cessation of pregnancy for up to 42 days post-partum. Sepsis will be defined as suspected or confirmed infection with an obstetrically modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score of ≥ 2, treatment with intravenous antimicrobials and requested cultures of any bodily fluid. Controls will be matched by age, location, parity, mode of delivery and gestational age. Primary and secondary outcomes are risk factors associated with the development of maternal sepsis, the frequency of adverse outcomes due to maternal sepsis, bacterial etiology and AMR profiles of cases and controls.

Discussion
This study will improve understanding of the epidemiology and clinical implications of maternal sepsis management including the presence of AMR in women giving birth in Vietnam. It will help us to determine whether women in this setting are receiving optimal care and to identify opportunities for improvement.

Abstract
Influenza infection poses a significant threat to the existence of humans and animals. Its inhibition by secondary metabolites may proffer a lasting solution to its resistance to available synthetic therapeutic agents. In this study, we investigated the influenza neuraminidase (NA) inhibitory potential of naturally occurring C–O–C biflavonoids using integrated computational approaches. The molecular docking method was employed to identify biflavonoids with high binding affinities, and molecular dynamics simulation was performed for 100 ns to examine the stability, binding mode, and interactions elicited by the hit molecules in influenza NA-binding pocket. The bioavailability and pharmacokinetic properties of the hit biflavonoids were examined using swissADME. The molecular docking studies identified lophirone L, delicaflavone, lanaroflavone, pulvinatabiflavone, and ochnaflavone as the hit molecules with the binding affinity of −9.9 to −9.3 kcal/mol. The root means square deviation and root mean square fluctuation plots obtained from the molecular dynamics simulation showed that the selected biflavonoids were reasonably stable at the enzyme’s binding pocket. The ADMET studies showed that the top-ranked biflavonoids exhibit good pharmacokinetic and bioavailability properties. Furthermore, the density functional theory studies showed that the selected hit secondary metabolite possesses good pharmacological properties. Thus, the inhibitory activities of these compounds on viral neuraminidase could be helpful in the management of influenza infections.
Effect of water-absorbent polymer balls in internal curing on punching shear behavior of bubble slabs
Authors: Jaber Imtethal Helal , Awad Waryosh Waleed 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The punching shear capacity of bubbled slabs is one of the main problems due to its decreased thickness; when there is inadequate curing, the problem becomes more critical, causing the building’s structural performance to deteriorate and exposing it to the risk of collapse. This study aimed to investigate the effect of using water-absorbent polymer balls in internal curing on the punching shear behavior of bubble slabs. Six concrete slabs were cast (1,000 mm × 1,000 mm × 70 mm). The main variables in this study are the type of slab (solid and bubble), type of curing (water and air), and ratio of water-absorbent polymer balls (5 and 10%). Studying the performance use of polymer balls and recycled plastic balls together and in normal strength concretes is limited. Also, investigating their behavior can provide insight into the efficiency of using these materials to improve concrete structures. Results showed that the most effective ratio for using polymer balls in internal curing is 5%, which had a good effect on the ultimate load, the first crack load, deflection, and crack pattern compared to the water-curing sample (reference sample). The water-absorbent polymer balls used in this study can absorb water when added to a concrete mixture. They release the water absorbed and subsequently contract, forming voids that are equivalent in size to the balls. This process facilitates internal curing while reducing the weight of concrete through the air voids left by the balls after they are dry.

Authors: Ertas Kerem , Gul Ozlem , Bozacı Ayse Ergul , Bilgin Huseyin 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Objectives
We aimed to cardiologically evaluate the consequences of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation in the large vessels of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS).

Methods
The left ventricular wall thickness, left ventricular mass (LVmass) were evaluated and aortic annulus diameter (AA), aortic sinus valsalva diameter (SV), sinotubular junction diameter (STJ), systolic aortic diameter (ADs), diastolic aortic diameter (ADd) body indices were obtained by dividing by the surface area. Aortic distensibility and stiffness index were obtained using aortic strain. Ejection fraction, mitral E and A velocities, mitral early diastolic tissue velocity (e′), E/A ratio, and E/e′ ratio were evaluated.

Results
The LVED-i, LVmass-i, AA-i, SV-i, STJ-i, ADs-i, and ADd-i values were significantly higher in the MPS group. While the E and e′ velocities and E/A ratio were significantly low in the MPS group, the A velocity and E/e′ ratio were significantly high. While the stiffness index, SBP, and PP values were significantly higher in the MPS group, the aortic strain and distensibility were significantly lower. There was a correlation between the stiffness index and the aortic strain, distensibility, SBP, PP, and ventricular function. Cardiac function, aortic diameter, and aortic elasticity characteristics were similar between patients with MPS who received ERT and those who did not.

Conclusions
In the MPS group, aortic elasticity properties were impaired, and aortic stiffness increased. ERT has positive effects on cardiac function, aortic diameter, and aortic stiffness in MPS patients. An increased LVmass-i and impaired ventricular geometric structure in patients with MPS may be associated with increased aortic stiffness.
Writing the Other: The Ethics of Out-Group Representation in Art
Authors: Holtug Nils 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Recently, there have been cases in which out-group representation in art has faced severe criticism. Out-group representation occurs when an artist in her work engages with people, characters, or subject matters that do not fall within her own identity group. This is exemplified by the case of finding a translator for Amanda Gorman’s The Hill We Climb in the Netherlands, where the original choice was criticized because, unlike Gorman, the translator was not Black, and by the case of Dana Schutz’s painting of Emmett Till in his casket at the Whitney Museum in New York, which was criticized for being painted by a White person who could not understand the suffering Emmett Till and his mother had gone through. A number of objections to out-group representation are identified in the debate, namely, an objection from authenticity, an objection from equality of opportunity, and the suggestion that out-group representation is disrespectful and/or harmful. It is argued that none of these objections establishes that it is morally problematic to engage in out-group representation in art per se, although, importantly, there are a number of moral concerns that those who thus engage should be sensitive to.
Multilayer all-dielectric metasurfaces expanding color gamut
Authors: Gu Xin , Li Jiaqi , Liang Zhouxin , Wang Bo , Zhu Zhaoxiang , Chen Yujie 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Structural color, arising from the interaction between nanostructures and light, has experienced rapid development in recent years. However, high-order Mie resonances in dielectric materials often induce unnecessary sub-peaks, particularly at shorter wavelengths, reducing the vibrancy of colors. To address this, we have developed a multilayer dielectric metasurface based on silicon-rich silicon nitride (SRN), achieving expanded color gamut through precise refractive index matching and suppression of high-order resonances. This strategy introduces more design dimensions and can reduce the complexity of material deposition. It enables the generation of vibrant colors in a 3 × 3 array, with a resolution of approximately 25,400 dpi, demonstrating its potential applications in displays.

Random attractors for three-dimensional stochastic globally modified Navier–Stokes equations driven by additive noise on unbounded domains
Authors: Hang Ho Thi , Nguyen Pham Tri 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This paper is devoted to study the three-dimensional globally modified Navier–Stokes equations driven by additive white noise on some unbounded domains 𝒪.
By using the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, we transfer the original equation to a random dynamical system, and then we prove the existence of pullback attractors for the random dynamical system equations under suitable conditions.
Due to the unboundedness of the domains, we get the asymptotic compactness of the solutions by Ball’s idea of energy equations.
The periodicity of the attractors is also proved when the deterministic non-autonomous external terms are periodic in time.
