Authors: KUMAR SUMIT , CHOPRA AVANI , Ha Zia Ui 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This study investigates the use of fly ash (FA), rice husk ash (RHA), and marble dust (MDP) in geopolymer bricks, an eco-friendly alternative to traditional brick-making methods Geopolymerization, a process that employs alkali-activated materials to construct solid structures, has shown promise as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional brick-making methods. The researchers created brick samples using different amounts of FA, RHA, and MDP to investigate the properties of geopolymer bricks made with quality materials. To establish the bricks' quality and toughness, tests were conducted on them for efflorescence, water absorption, and compressive quality. After the first 24 hours of treatment, the pace of power rise slowed down to a moderate level. The geopolymer bricks were cured under ambient temperature for 24 hours. This study produced geopolymer bricks using a mixture of FA, RHA, MDP, and an alkali-soda chemical activator solution. The bricks had dimensions of 230mm × 110mm x 75mm. Different proportions of the components were utilized in the mixture, with fly ash comprising 70% to 85% of the combination, fine aggregate accounting for 70% to 95%, rice husk ash ranging from 15% to 30%, and marble dust powder accounting for 5% to 30%. This research's main goal was to determine the effect of these different extents on the properties of the bricks. For each mixture, the concentration of NaOH was maintained at 12M. On the other hand, the sodium silicate ratio was kept constant at 1:2.5. Studies have shown that fine aggregate-constructed geopolymer bricks have greater compressive strength than natural sand. indicating that fine aggregate is a good choice for geopolymer brick production. Using recycled materials as alternatives for burnt bricks in buildings can provide economic and construction benefits. These findings emphasize the significance of future studies into the environmental and economic implications and the durability features of geopolymer bricks. Geopolymer bricks were tested on days 7, 14, and 28 to identify the order in which their overall quality was assessed for strength, air, compressive strength, and water absorption.
Ammonium availability and pH control the contributions of ammonia- oxidizing bacteria and archaea to nitrification
Authors: Wen Jennifer , Upchurch Rima , Zak Donald R. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) control nitrification in terrestrial systems. Soil pH and substrate availability (NH4+) influence community composition, which may affect the contributions of these organisms to nitrification in forest soils. We identified the amoA of AOA and AOB from northern hardwood stands that represent a natural gradient of nitrification, soil pH, and net N mineralization (i.e., NH4 + availability). Specifically, we investigated (1) the responses of relative abundance and composition of AOA and AOB communities to soil pH and net N mineralization, and (2) how community composition was linked to nitrification. Soil pH was a stronger driver of AOA and AOB relative abundance than was NH4+ availability. Generally, AOA and AOB community turnover were positively associated with soil pH; however, many AOA ASVs displayed a negative association. Interestingly, the relative abundance of only a small number of AOA and AOB ASVs were significantly associated with nitrification. Our findings reveal that coexisting taxa and groups of ammonia-oxidizers in forest soils have diverse responses to environmental factors, which influence how soil microbial communities are structured, having direct implications for nitrification and the regulation of N cycling in forest systems.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
Begomovirus, the causative agent of the Cotton Leaf Curl Disease (CLCuD), has been corrupting cotton yield, quality, and production throughout the world since its first outbreak in 1912. The cotton crop, the “white gold” of Pakistan, has been plucked by various biotic stresses including Cotton Leaf Curl Virus (CLCuV), amounting the production loss of the crop to almost half in the past ten years. Although several breeding attempts have been made to develop cotton lines tolerant to CLCuD, the mutation rate of CLCuV remains too high to allow permanent tolerance to any developed cultivar. In this study, the plant microbiome is proposed as a favorable environmental and economy friendly alternative to induce CLCuD suppression in the CLCuD-susceptible specie Gossypium hirsutum. The study employed the microbiome of the naturally immune diploid species of cotton, Gossypium arboreum, as a hub of diverse bacterial community. Both the rhizospheric and phyllospheric microbiotas of G. hirsutum (PFV1 and PFV2) and G. arboreum (FDH228) species with varying tolerance levels to CLCuD were isolated. The rhizospheric and phyllospheric microbiotas were termed as Microbial Fractions (MFs) and were transplanted to young G. hirsutum and G. arboreum seedlings, with null microbiota development, through soil drench method. Salicylic Acid (SA), a known plant phytohormone with defense-inducing properties, was also applied to a positive control group through foliar spray method.
Results
Most prominent CLCuD suppression was recorded through disease incidence assays in G. hirsutum varieties transplanted with rhizospheric MFs successively from FDH228 (RMF), PFV1 (pRMF) and PFV2 (SMF). The phyllospheric MFs also suppressed CLCuD but to a lesser extent as compared to rhizospheric MFs. The findings laid by disease incidence assays have been further supported with Illumina MiSeq 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis for microbial diversity of the MF samples and corresponding associated pathways. The results strongly demonstrate distinct bacteriomes of the cotton species governed by relative CLCuD tolerance levels.
Conclusions
A strong practical foundation is laid to present the role of plant microbiome in CLCuD suppression and remains the first attempt to elucidate this against a viral disease. Microbiome transplantation can contribute to the advancement of sustainable agriculture.
Biological Motion and Emotion: Investigating the Impact of Tempo Manipulations
Authors: Wang Xinyue , Burger Birgitta , Wöllner Clemens 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The perception of emotions in human movements can be influenced by several movement features such as fluidity, complexity, and tempo. Slow motion in movies, for instance, have been widely used to evoke emotional responses. However, there has been limited research on how tempo manipulation affects the perceived emotions, by accelerating or decelerating the tempo a movement is presented at. The aim of the current study was to examine how tempo-manipulated point-light displays (PLDs) of human movements, in comparison to their tempo-original counterparts, influence the perceived emotional arousal and valence by altering the underlying movement characteristics. In an online perceptual experiment, we presented tempo-original and tempo-manipulated PLDs at three tempi, with and without synchronized drumbeats. Participants were asked to judge a stimulus based on its emotional arousal, valence, and naturalness. Results suggested that movements with higher fluidity were perceived lower in arousal, while stimuli that were higher in naturalness were perceived more positive in valence. Furthermore, decelerated movements were associated with increased fluidity compared to accelerated or tempo-original ones. Tempo deceleration were associated with lower naturalness compared to tempo-original ones. The findings indicate that tempo manipulation can be identified via kinematic feature change, consequently changing some emotional attributes perceived of movements.

Authors: Tivendale Rebecca , Hitch Danielle 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the effectiveness and quality of clinical supervision for Allied Health clinicians across nine disciplines, from the perspective of supervisees and supervisors. In a metropolitan public health service.
Methods: Cross-sectional, quantitative descriptive design utilising online survey data collection via the MCSS-26 (previously known as the Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale). The survey was distributed online, and all responses were anonymous. Descriptive and comparative analyses were undertaken to interpret the data.
Results: A total of 164 allied health and community services health clinicians responded, demonstrating a response rate of 36%. The majority of participants were female, in Grade 2 positions, and received clinical supervision monthly. Patient-related issues were discussed most frequently during these sessions. The delivery of most clinical supervision continues to utilise traditional one-to-one formats, although some professions (such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and nursing) experimented with alternative models. While total scores suggested the participants experienced effective supervision, there was significant variation across disciplines and grades. Moderate to strong correlations were also found between MCSS-26 subscale and total scores and overall satisfaction with clinical supervision.
Conclusion: These findings emphasise the importance of tailored approaches to clinical supervision, considering the varied needs and perceptions of different individuals, professions and grade levels.

Published: November 2023

Abstract

The dynamic changes of mobile terminals have led to the more complex environment for edge computing resource allocation. Edge nodes are generally mobile wireless devices or network devices with limited processing capacity, and have relatively limited computing resources. The importance of computing tasks for terminal devices changes dynamically , and the corresponding computing efficiency also changes. Therefore , the dynamic resource allocation is particularly important in the edge computing environments. In order to maximize the efficiency of using edge computing resources, increase the profit of edge node, and reduce the cost of edge terminal devices, exploring an efficient dynamic resource pricing and allocation mechanism for edge computing is an urgent problem that we need to solve. In this paper, 1 Springer Nature 2021 L A T E X template Dynamic Pricing in Edge computing Resource Allocation Based on Stackelberg Dynam we describe the dynamic pricing and resource allocation problem between edge node and terminal devices as a Stackelberg dynamic game model, and solve the Nash equilibrium solution of the model through Bellman dynamic programming theory. During the resource allocation process, to get the optimal computing resource price of edge node and the optimal computing resource usage of terminal devices.
Persistent idiopathic macular hole after vitreous surgery: A case report
Authors: Zhu Wei , Tian Xue-dong 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
Persistent idiopathic macular holes (IMH) after initial vitrectomy are challenging. Analyzing reasons for non-closure can inform surgical planning. Residual triamcinolone acetonide (TA) may affect closure but current evidence is limited.
Case Presentation
A 65-year-old female presented with decreased vision and an IMH in her left eye. Initial vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, 15% C3F8 gas tamponade and face-down positioning were performed. The macular hole remained open 1.5 months later. A second surgery with 15% C3F8 gas tamponade was done. The hole closed after 20 days. The minimum diameter (457μm) and macular hole closure index (0.597) suggested poor healing potential preoperatively. No residual ILM was seen during the second surgery. Review of surgical video showed residual TA in the hole after initial surgery.
Conclusions
The IMH's dimensions indicated a low chance of closure. No residual ILM was found reoperatively. Postoperative positioning adherence was likely adequate. Residual TA may potentially impair closure but definitive conclusions are difficult given limited evidence currently. Further research could elucidate the impact of residual TA. Analyzing multiple factors contributing to persistent IMH can optimize surgical planning. Individualized assessment and treatment are crucial for IMH management.
Natural history of Secundum ASD in preterm and term neonates: A comparative study
Authors: Heidari Negar , Kumaran Kumar , Pagano Joseph J , Hornberger Lisa K 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background: Atrial septal defects(ASDs) are common in neonates. Although past studies suggest ASDs >3mm in term neonates(TN) are less likely to close, there is paucity of data regarding the natural history in preterm neonates(PN), information that would inform surveillance. We sought to compare spontaneous closure rates and need for intervention for ASDs in TN/near term (>36 weeks) versus PN (<36 weeks).
Methods: We included all TN and PN who underwent echocardiography at <1 month between 2010-2018 in our institution with an ASD >3mm, without major congenital heart disease, and with repeat echocardiogram(s). Spontaneous resolution was defined as size diminution to £3mm or closure.
Results: We included 156 TN (mean gestational age at birth 38.6±1.4 weeks) and 156 PN (29.6±3.7 weeks) with a mean age at follow-up of 16±19 and 15±21 months, respectively (p=0.76). Based on largest color Doppler diameter, in TNs, ASD resolution occurred in 95% of small (3-5mm), 87% of moderate (5.1-8mm), and 60% of large (>8mm) defects; whereas, in PNs, resolution occurred in 79% of small, 76% of moderate, and 33% of large ASDs. There was a significant association between size and ASD resolution in TNs (p=0.003), but not PNs (p=0.17). Overall, ASD resolution rate was higher in TNs (89%) versus PNs (78%) (p=0.009), and fewer TNs (1%) compared to PNs (7%) required ASD intervention (p=0.02).
Conclusion: Most ASDs identified in TN and PN spontaneously resolve. PN, however, demonstrate lower ASD resolution and higher intervention rates within all size groups. These data should inform follow-up of affected neonates.
Causal role of immune cells in lung cancer: Mendelian randomization study
Authors: Li Qian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between immune cell responses and lung cancer (LC), which is responsible for a significant number of cancer-related deaths globally and poses a serious threat to human well-being. Numerous studies have suggested a potential connection between immune cell activity and LC; nevertheless, the exact causal role of immune cells in LCremains uncertain. To address this gap in knowledge, we conducted a thorough two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to establish a causal link between immune cell signatures and LC.By analyzing genetic data that is accessible to the public, we investigated potential cause-and-effect relationships between 731 immune cell signatures and the risk of LC. We considered four different types of immune signatures, including median fluorescence intensities (MFI), relative cell (RC), absolute cell (AC), and morphological parameters (MP). To ensure the reliability and validity of our findings, we conducted thorough sensitivity analyses to assess the robustness, variability, and potential confounding effects of the results.The analysis of Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) revealed a significant causal impact of 31 immune cells on LC. Conversely, the results of Reverse MR indicated a significant causal association between LC and 3 immune cells. By employing genetic methods, our study has effectively illustrated the strong connection between immune cells and LC, offering valuable insights for future clinical investigations.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background: Nursing education is demanding, necessitating supportive services such as academic advising to help students achieve their academic goals.
Purpose: Although academic advising services are well established, research evaluating those services is minimal. Thus, this study aims to determine the predictors of academic advising satisfaction among nursing students.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used an online survey for undergraduate nursing students from Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Results: A total sample of 1,134 students completed the survey. Students with higher grade point average (GPA) (OR: 1.41, 95% CI, 1.07-1.87) and frequent meetings with the advisor (OR: 2.91, 95% CI, 2.10-4.04) were more likely to be satisfied with academic advising. However, fourth-year students (OR: 0.48, 95% CI, 0.30-0.75) and those who self-reported any mental disorders (OR: 0.54, 95% CI, 0.38-0.76) were less likely to be satisfied with their academic advising.
Conclusion: Future research should explore these students' options for improving academic advising services.

Abstract
For the first time, a new electrocatalytic mechanism of the electrochemical behavior of chlorpromazine has been evaluated. At a boron doped diamond (BDD) working electrode, the electrochemical behavior of aqueous chlorpromazine (CPZ) and chlorpromazine/l-cysteine at 0.3–1.3V were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. The results showed that the electrochemical oxidation of chlorpromazine has a mechanism of EEC. As well as, the electrocatalytically properties of CPZ were investigated in the presence of l-cysteine amino acid. The results indicate a complicated catalytic system. Based on the results, this system is involved in the EC'EC mechanism. For both the obtained mechanisms, the effect of increasing concentration and the effect of the rate of potential scanning were studied. the impact of empirical parameters on the shape of the voltammograms is examined based on an EEC and EC'EC mechanisms. The kinetic parameters were calculated by fitting the Digital Simulation3 program to those generated by experimental cyclic voltammograms for EEC and EC'EC mechanisms.
