Published: February 2024

Abstract
Proton-conducting materials have been proposed as the electrolytes for the medium to low-temperature Solid Oxide Cells (SOC). It is challenging to be widely applied as these materials suffer issues associated with cost, durability, and high energy consumption for preparation. Among all the proton conductors, the Y-doped and Ni-added BaZrO3-based conductors possess sufficient conductivity and stability under humid and/or carbon dioxide atmospheres. Here, we prepared a series of Y and NiO-co-doped BaZr1 − xYxO3−δ (x = 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, y = 0, 1.0 wt%, 1.5 wt%, 2.0 wt%, 2.5 wt%) using the classical solid phase synthesis and liquid phase sintering. The optimum amount of Y doping and Ni addition for BaZrO3-based conductors is proposed after analyzing and reviewing phases, structures, relative densities, microstructures, and hybrid conductivity properties under different atmospheres. BaZr0.8Y0.2O3−δ (BZY20) with 2 wt% NiO achieves a high relative density (~ 96%) at 1400 ℃ for 5 h. It exhibits a best conductivity value of 8.32, 1.12 and 3.15 mS cm− 1 at 600°C in air, dry and humidified 5%H2-Ar, respectively. Y and NiO-co-doped BaZr1 − xYxO3−δ is an excellent candidate as an electrolyte material for low-temperature SOC.

Abstract
Owing to their ability to reliably detect even very rare antigen-specific B cells in cellular isolates such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and doing so robustly in a high throughput-compatible manner, B cell ELISPOT/FluoroSpot (collectively “B cell ImmunoSpot”) tests have become increasingly attractive for immune monitoring in regulated settings. Presently, there are no guidelines for the qualification and validation of B cell ImmunoSpot assay results. Here, we propose such guidelines, building on the experience acquired from T cell ImmunoSpot testing in an environment adhering to the requirements of regulatory bodies yet taking the unique features of B cell assays into account. A streamlined protocol is proposed that permits the performance of all tests needed for the formal validation of an antigen-specific B cell ImmunoSpot assay in only three experiments, utilizing 2.2 x 107 PBMC per donor. Subsequently, utilizing only 1–2 x 106 PBMC per sample (obtainable from 1–2 mL of blood), a validated multiplexed assay enables accurate quantification of the frequency of antigen-specific memory B cell-derived blasts secreting IgM, IgG, IgA or IgE antibodies. Collectively, such multiplexed B cell ImmunoSpot assays offer immense value for B cell immune monitoring programs due to their ease of implementation, scalability, applicability to essentially any antigenic system, economy of PBMC utilization, and last but not least, the high content information gained.

Authors:   Florence Assibi Ziba1, Nartey Emmanuel 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background
Neonatal Jaundice (NNJ) is one of the major contributors of neonatal mortality worldwide with Sub-Saharan African being one of the greatest contributors. As a result, it is considered a public health concern. The long-term effects of NNJ can be dire, however, these can be minimised or prevented through appropriate screening and treatment. This study examined the prevalence and factors associated with NNJ in Northern Ghana.
Methods
This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design to select 330 mothers and their neonates who were on admission in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of four referral hospitals at the time of the study. Both descriptive and inferential data analysis was done using IBM SPSS Statistics software (version 26).
Results
Out of the total number of 330 neonates included in the study, 33.3% of them were diagnosed of NNJ. Factors such as antenatal attendance, mothers having a previous baby diagnosed with NNJ, delivery mode, parity and maternal blood group were strongly related to a neonate being diagnosed od NNJ
Conclusion
This study revealed that the prevalence of NNJ in Northern Ghana is 33.3%. The study has revealed the risk factors for NNJ. It is therefore important that health practitioners take into consideration these risk factors and the planning of maternal and child health care services.

Examining the effectiveness of artificially replicated lake systems in predicting eutrophication indicators: a comparative data-driven analysis
Authors: Bhagowati Biswajit , Ahamad Kamal Uddin 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Data-driven models for the prediction of lake eutrophication essentially rely on water quality datasets for a longer duration. If such data are not readily available, lake management through data-driven modeling becomes impractical. So, a novel approach is presented here for the prediction of eutrophication indicators, such as dissolved oxygen, Secchi depth, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus, in the waterbodies of Assam, India. These models were developed using water quality datasets collected through laboratory investigation in artificially simulated lake systems. Two artificial prototype lakes were eutrophied in a controlled environment with the gradual application of wastewater. A periodic assessment of water quality was done for model development. Data-driven modeling in the form of multilayer perceptron (MLP), time-delay neural network (TDNN), support vector regression (SVR), and Gaussian process regression (GPR) were utilized. The trained model's accuracy was evaluated based on statistical parameters and a reasonable correlation was observed between targeted and model predicted values. Finally, the trained models were tested against some natural waterbodies in Assam and a satisfactory prediction accuracy was obtained. TDNN and GPR models were found superior compared to other methods. Results of the study indicate feasibility of the adopted modeling approach in predicting lake eutrophication when periodic water quality data are limited for the waterbody under consideration.

Published: February 2024

Background
Short-term blood pressure variability (BPV) is associated with arterial stiffness in patients with hypertension. Few studies have examined associations between arterial stiffness and digital home BPV over a mid- to long-term time span, irrespective of underlying hypertension.

Objective
This study aims to investigate if arterial stiffness traits were associated with subsequent mid- to long-term home BPV in the electronic Framingham Heart Study (eFHS). We hypothesized that higher arterial stiffness was associated with higher home BPV over up to 1-year follow-up.

Methods
At a Framingham Heart Study research examination (2016-2019), participants underwent arterial tonometry to acquire measures of arterial stiffness (carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity [CFPWV]; forward pressure wave amplitude [FWA]) and wave reflection (reflection coefficient [RC]). Participants who agreed to enroll in eFHS were provided with a digital blood pressure (BP) cuff to measure home BP weekly over up to 1-year follow-up. Participants with less than 3 weeks of BP readings were excluded. Linear regression models were used to examine associations of arterial measures with average real variability (ARV) of week-to-week home systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) BP adjusting for important covariates. We obtained ARV as an average of the absolute differences of consecutive home BP measurements. ARV considers not only the dispersion of the BP readings around the mean but also the order of BP readings. In addition, ARV is more sensitive to measurement-to-measurement BPV compared with traditional BPV measures.

Results
Among 857 eFHS participants (mean age 54, SD 9 years; 508/857, 59% women; mean SBP/DBP 119/76 mm Hg; 405/857, 47% hypertension), 1 SD increment in FWA was associated with 0.16 (95% CI 0.09-0.23) SD increments in ARV of home SBP and 0.08 (95% CI 0.01-0.15) SD increments in ARV of home DBP; 1 SD increment in RC was associated with 0.14 (95% CI 0.07-0.22) SD increments in ARV of home SBP and 0.11 (95% CI 0.04-0.19) SD increments in ARV of home DBP. After adjusting for important covariates, there was no significant association between CFPWV and ARV of home SBP, and similarly, no significant association existed between CFPWV and ARV of home DBP (P>.05).

Conclusions
In eFHS, higher FWA and RC were associated with higher mid- to long-term ARV of week-to-week home SBP and DBP over 1-year follow-up in individuals across the BP spectrum. Our findings suggest that higher aortic stiffness and wave reflection are associated with higher week-to-week variation of BP in a home-based setting over a mid- to long-term time span.

Data Analytics Integration Approaches: Insights from Accounting Chairs
Authors: Falgout Samantha , Boyle Douglas M. , Gaydon Daniel J. , Hermanson Dana R. 
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
AACSB Accounting Standard A5 requires accounting programs to integrate data analytics and other technology topics into the accounting curriculum. Through semistructured interviews of 15 accounting chairs, we examine the overall approaches used by accounting programs to integrate data analytics into the curriculum. We find that most programs have used a “hybrid model” of integrating analytics into the accounting curriculum with assistance from other business departments, primarily information systems, management, and data analytics. Most programs have integrated data analytics with little or no additional external resources, and most have relied heavily on input from their departmental advisory board. Based on internal or external measures, most chairs provide some evidence of improved student outcomes. Programs plan to keep their analytics content current primarily through ongoing interaction with and feedback from external stakeholders and former students or reliance on internal stakeholder expertise. We discuss implications and directions for future research.

Abstract
This study investigated the differential effects of Bacillus subtilis- and Bacillus licheniformis-fermented products (defined as SFP and LFPs, respectively) on microbial antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) and virulence factor gene (VFG) composition in the cecal digesta of 35-day-old broilers by using metagenomic sequencing. First, 160 1-day-old unsexed Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly allocated to four treatment groups: basal diet (CON group); basal diet + enramycin (10 mg/kg, ENM group); basal diet + SFPs (108 colony-forming units (CFU) of B. subtilis spores/kg, SFP group); and basal diet + LFPs (108 CFU of B. licheniformis spores/kg, LFP group). Principal coordinate analysis of ARG and VFG composition indicated distinct clustering among the cecal samples of the groups. At the antibiotic resistance class level, LFP treatment increased the expression of peptide resistance genes and decreased the expression of aminocoumarin resistance genes compared with the other groups. Compared with the other groups, LFP treatment promoted bcrA, ugd, and efrB expression but suppressed parY expression, whereas SFP treatment inhibited efrA expression. The abundance of the peptide resistance gene bcrA in Lachnoclostridium species was higher in the CON and LFP groups than in the ENM and SFP groups, whereas the abundance of the peptide resistance gene rpoB2 in Bacteroides species was lower in the ENM and LFP groups than in the SFP group. No specific VFGs were regulated only by SFPs or LFPs. SFP and LFP treatment inhibited clpC expression compared with the other groups. clpC abundance in Bacteroides species was lower in the LFP group than in the CON group, whereas its abundance in Faecalibacterium species was lower in the SFP group than in the CON and ENM groups. These results demonstrated that SFPs and LFPs differentially regulate microbial ARG and VFG composition in the cecal digesta of broilers. LFP supplementation modulated more antibiotic resistance classes and ARGs than did SFP supplementation.
