Abstract
Informed by models of resilience in military families, we explored factors theorized to be associated with social-emotional resilience and risk among young military-connected children. Our secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from 199 military-connected families (n = 346 parents) with at least one preschool-age child in the home (n = 199) led to the empirical identification of two distinct clusters: families with children demonstrating healthy social-emotional functioning and those showing indicators of poor social-emotional functioning. We then identified factors associated with membership in each cluster to determine which deployment and parental wellbeing variables were salient for young child adjustment. Parent psychological health symptoms, parenting, child behavior, and parent-child relationships were measured by parent report and observed interaction. Children with healthier social-emotional functioning were found to be residing with families experiencing less stress and distress. The importance of maternal trauma history is highlighted in our study, as elevated maternal symptoms across all three posttraumatic stress disorder symptom domains were associated with child social-emotional risk. Basic family demographic characteristics did not contribute significantly to the cluster distinctions, nor did military service factors such as active duty, reserve or veteran status, military rank or parent deployment history. These findings are important as the results deemphasize the importance of military service characteristics and highlight the importance of parent wellbeing when considering social-emotional risk and resilience of young children within military families.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Estuaries are among the most commercially significant ecosystems on the earth, and they provide different habitats for numerous bivalve species. Clams are one of the most widely distributed and used aquatic bivalves, providing much more protein-rich food than mussels and oysters. Vembanad estuary is one of the richest clam fisheries coastal wetland in Kerala. The current study focused to compare the morphology and biochemistry of Villorita cyprinoides and Meretrix casta shells in Vembanad estuary. It also attempts to understand the variations in clam distribution caused by salinity fluctuations and sediment texture. According to the morphological and morphometric analysis, medium size shells were found in greater abundance in both species. A total of 306 nos of Villorita cyprinoides shells and 169 nos of Meretrix casta shells were obtained from the ten sample locations of Vembanad estuary. The density of Villorita cyprinoides (192 nos) shells is high in the southern part, and Meretrix casta (108 nos) shells are abundant in the northern portion of Vembanad estuary. Villorita cyprinoides has a negative linear correlation with salinity, as indicated by R2 of 0.96. Meretrix casta, on the other hand, exhibits a positive correlation with salinity, with 0.94 linear coefficient. Villorita cyprinoides is more prevalent in clayey and silty sediments, while Meretrix casta is more common in sandy sediments. According to XRF analysis, calcium is the major oxide, with 39.47% and 38.72% elemental concentration in both species Villorita cyprinoides and Meretrix casta respectively. All other oxides were found only in trace amount.
Person Re-identification Based on Improved Transformer and Multi-scale, Multi- granularity Feature Learning
Authors: Ji Peng , Chen Hao , Liu Chang 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Person re-identification refers to the use of computer vision techniques to identify specific individuals in images captured by surveillance systems. However, this process is challenged by factors like variations in viewpoint, pose, occlusions, and other environmental conditions. Current pedestrian re-identification methods based on local features often suffer from limited discriminative power in feature extraction, which ultimately results in lower re-identification accuracy. For efficient use of feature information, we propose an improved Transformer and multi-scale, multi-granularity fusion network. Firstly, local multi-granularity branch is introduced to extract semantic information at various granularities, which enhances the richness of features by exploring less significant local characteristics of pedestrians. In addition, the improved Transformer can better focus on key regions of the image and incorporates larger-scale image information. Finally, we use triplet and softmax to calculate loss for different branches. We conducted extensive experiments on three datasets (CUHK03, Market1501, DukeMTMC-reID), and the results demonstrate that our model outperforms many recent state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy.

Comparative methods for assessing the age and of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes crucigera) in Central Romania
Authors: Codreanu Codrin , Hardalau Darius 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This study focuses on the anatomical-morphological and cranial characteristics of the red fox subspecies Vulpes vulpes crucigera Bechstein in Central Romania. A total of 70 skull specimens and 65 carcasses were examined, with morphological determinations and anatomical evaluations conducted to understand the variability within the local population. Craniometric analysis involved 32 specific measurements, and regression equations were derived to estimate the age of specimens based on measurable parameters. The study area encompassed diverse ecological conditions, spanning on an area of almost 75 000 ha, providing insights into the adaptability of red foxes. The results highlight the significance of total body weight in estimating age and suggest the potential for further research to refine population characterization. Two equations resulted from the regression model, which can help the age determination directly on the terrain. The Principal Component Analysis was applied to all specimens in the study to analyze their morphological characteristics, revealing significant variations in skull and body parameters. Extending this study to different regions of Europe can enhance our understanding of red fox variations in skull and anatomical characteristics.
Optimizing Ficus Nota Water Priming for Accelerated Germination and Growth in Pechay (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis)
Authors: Taer Erma C. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This study addresses the imperative requirement to enhance seed germination rates and uniformity in seedling establishment for short-cultivation-period vegetable crops, with a focus on Pechay (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis). Employing seed invigoration techniques utilizing natural plant extracts, particularly Ficus nota water (FNW), we investigated the impacts of varied FNW concentrations (0%, 50%, 100%) and soaking durations (2, 4, 6 hours) on Pechay seeds. The combination of 50% FNW and a 4-hour soaking duration significantly accelerated germination rates by 60% compared to the control. FNW application also exerted a positive influence on seedling height, radical proliferation, and biomass accumulation. However, the persistent enhancement in height and late-stage leaf width expansion at a 50% concentration did not translate into corresponding improvements in productivity, suggesting potential trade-offs between morphological alterations and yield. This study offers preliminary evidence supporting FNW efficacy in expediting Pechay germination and invigorating nursery vigor, providing a foundation for optimized priming protocols and extended cultivation periods. Despite morphological stimulation, the absence of biomass enhancement prompts further exploration into the underlying growth dynamics, emphasizing the necessity for subsequent field trials to assess yield responses. Overall, this research contributes insights into the nuanced relationship between morphological modifications and productivity in FNW-primed Pechay cultivation.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background
Diabetic ketoacidosis [DKA] is one of the most serious severe complications of type 1 diabetes [T1D] and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children with type 1 diabetes [T1D]. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of DKA and its associated factors in children with T1D. With newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes in Damascus Hospital.
Methods and materials:
A retrospective study was conducted in Damascus Hospital. It included children between the ages of 5 and 14 years, who suffered from diabetic acidosis, and who were admitted to the children’s ward in the hospital, between the years 2010 and 2024. Descriptive medical statistics were conducted using frequency distribution, arithmetic mean, median, tables, and graphs, and a test was used. Chi-score to find out the relationship between variables.
Results
We found that the average age of children with diabetic acidosis is 11.4 years, and the infection rate among females [55.7%] is higher than males [44.3%]. 47.1% of the children were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the ambulance unit, and 34.3% were diagnosed incidentally at They visited the clinics, and most of the children were diagnosed with diabetes in the first, third, and fourth years, and most of the children were treated with mixed and long-term insulin. It was found that the most common cause of acidosis in children was undiagnosed diabetes at a rate of 37.1%, and non-adherence to treatment at a rate of 14.3%. Most acidosis patients were treated with insulin. Fluid replacement and the duration of patients’ stay in the hospital for 3 days was 37.1%. It was found that there was an important relationship between gender and the cause of acidosis, and it was more common in females, and there was an important relationship between gender and the duration of hospitalization, as the duration of hospitalization was longer in females.
Conclusion
The most important reasons that lead to the development of diabetic ketosis in children with type 1 diabetes are poor blood sugar control as a result of non-adherence to prescribed insulin treatment, poor management of infections that cause ketosis, and the patient’s tendency to stop insulin doses completely when they suffer from any infectious condition without medical advice.

Abstract
Background
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common digestive disorder mainly affecting older populations. However, its prevalence and impact among younger age groups like university students is not well established.
Objective
To investigate the prevalence of GERD symptoms, medication use, and impact on quality of life among students at a Syrian private university.
Methods
This cross-sectional observational study surveyed 334 students from various specialties using an online questionnaire. Data collected included demographics, GERD symptoms, medication use, and quality of life assessed by the GERD-Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL) instrument. Associations between GERD and age, gender, and specialty were analyzed.
Results
Overall, 37.4% of students reported not experiencing GERD symptoms while the rest did, with bloating (27.8%) being most prevalent, followed by sleep disturbances (22.2%), heartburn (21.5%), and regurgitation (18.3%). Only 16.8% used GERD medications like proton-pump inhibitors or antacids. Most students (68.5%) scored in the 0–15 range of the GERD-HRQL, indicating minimal impact on quality of life. GERD prevalence was positively associated with increasing age (p = 0.001), Female gender (p = 0.001), and medical specialty (p = 0.0025).
Conclusion
GERD symptoms are prevalent among Syrian university students, particularly with advancing age and in females. However, the impact on quality of life appears low. Raising awareness, lifestyle counseling, and targeted support, especially for medical students experiencing higher stress levels, could help manage GERD in this younger population.
Metformin Effects on SHIP2, AMPKs and Gut Microbiota: Recent Updates on Pharmacology
Authors: Shivaprakash Priyanka , Beeraka Narasimha M. , Madhunapantula Subba Rao V. , Nikolenko Vladimir N. , Basalingappa Kanthesh M. 
Published: February 2024

Introduction:
Metformin, a biguanide on the WHO’s list of essential medicines has a
long history of 50 years or more in treating hyperglycemia, and its therapeutic saga continues beyond
diabetes treatment. Glucoregulatory actions are central to the physiological effects of metformin;
surprisingly, the precise mechanism with which metformin regulates glucose metabolism is
not thoroughly understood yet.

Method:
The main aim of this review is to explore the recent implications of metformin in hepatic
gluconeogenesis, AMPKs, and SHIP2 and subsequently to elucidate the metformin action across
intestine and gut microbiota. We have searched PubMed, google scholar, Medline, eMedicine, National
Library of Medicine (NLM), clinicaltrials.gov (registry), and ReleMed for the implications
of metformin with its updated role in AMPKs, SHIP2, and hepatic gluoconeogenesis, and gut microbiota.
In this review, we have described the efficacy of metformin as a drug repurposing strategy
in modulating the role of AMPKs and lysosomal-AMPKs, and controversies associated with
metformin.

Result:
Research suggests that biguanide exhibits hormetic effects depending on the concentrations
used (micromolar to millimolar). The primary mechanism attributed to metformin action is
the inhibition of mitochondrial complex I, and subsequent reduction of cellular energy state, as observed
with increased AMP or ADP ratio, thereby metformin can also activate the cellular energy
sensor AMPK to inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis. However, new mechanistic models have been
proposed lately to explain the pleiotropic actions of metformin; at low doses, metformin can activate
lysosomal-AMPK via the AXIN-LKB1 pathway. Conversely, in an AMPK-independent
mechanism, metformin-induced elevation of AMP suppresses adenylate cyclase and glucagon-activated
cAMP production to inhibit hepatic glucose output by glucagon. Metformin inhibits mitochondrial
glycerophosphate dehydrogenase; mGPDH, and increases the cytosolic NADH/NAD+,
affecting the availability of lactate and glycerol for gluconeogenesis. Metformin can inhibit Src homology
2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase 2; SHIP2 to increase the insulin sensitivity
and glucose uptake by peripheral tissues.

Conclusion:
In addition, new exciting mechanisms suggest the role of metformin in promoting
beneficial gut microbiome and gut health; metformin regulates duodenal AMPK activation, incretin
hormone secretion, and bile acid homeostasis to improve intestinal glucose absorption and
utilization.

Role of Protein Ubiquitination and HIF Signaling in the Evolution of Hypoxic Breast Cancer
Authors: Ray Suman Kumar , Mukherjee Sukhes 
Published: February 2024

:
Alternations in protein ubiquitination along with hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signaling
contribute to tumorigenesis and breast tumor advancement. Ubiquitination is an impulsive
process, which is coordinately governed by E3 ligases and deubiquitinases (DUBs), that have
come out as charismatic therapeutic targets. HIF expression, as well as the transcriptional process
in malignancies, are frequently elevated, resulting in pitiable clinical outcomes. According
to increasing research, multiple E3 ligases, in addition to UBDs work together to modulate HIF
expression and activity, permitting breast cancer cells to make out a hypoxic milieu. On the
other hand, hypoxia and HIF signaling regulate numerous E3 ligases as well as DUBs. Interpreting
involved networks connecting E3 ligase, DUBS, and HIF will reveal profound mechanisms
of physiological response to hypoxia and aid in the discovery of new molecular references for
cancer management. The present state of knowledge about the entire kinship among E3 ligase,
DUBs, and HIF signaling is reviewed here, emphasizing using E3 ligase or DUB inhibitors in
breast cancer.
