Ordinary, basic, and elliptic hypergeometric series - weighted enumeration and convolutions
Authors: Schlosser Michael 
Published: November 2023

We give a brief survey on the three-level hierarchy of hypergeometric series: ordinary (or rational) hypergeometric series, basic (or trigonometric, or q-) hypergeometric series, and, on the top level, elliptic hypergeometric series. The three different types of hypergeometric series satisfy a number of well known identities.Arguably the most fundamental identity for single series is the 10-V-9 summation formula (discovered by Frenkel and Turaev in 1997). This powerful elliptic hypergeometric series identity includes many of the other classical summations as special or limiting cases, including the well-known q-Chu-Vandermonde summation, an identity which can be easily interpreted combinatorially and corresponds to a convolution of q-binomial coefficients. We give a similar combinatorial interpretation for the 10-V-9 summation, now as a convolution of elliptic binomial coefficients. This is achieved by a weighted enumeration of lattice paths in a suitable lattice path model where we choose the weights to be specific elliptic functions. The weighted lattice path interpretation corresponds to a formulation entirely in algebraic terms; we describe an algebra of so called "elliptic commuting variables" in which the elliptic binomial coefficients appear as the normal form coefficients of a binomial. While our focus in this talk is on identities for basic and elliptic hypergeometric series (and part of our motivation for giving this talk is to make the area of elliptic hypergeometric series better known, in particular to researchers working in algebraic combinatorics), other suitable choices of the weights in our convolutions of weighted binomial coefficients yield convolutions of symmetric functions.

Purpose: Ensuring quality in accreditation standards and process for higher institutions is highly imperative in order to produce qualitative students and staff (national and international), and to securing the recognition of qualifications that institutions are awarding. The objective of this study was to investigates the similarities and differences in the accreditation process in Nigeria, Egypt, Malawi and Japan.

Methods: The study was based on qualitative approach. The study adopted the historical method of data collection. This study being descriptive, as well as historical, relied essentially on secondary information sources gathered by the researchers via many books, articles, journal periodicals, internet materials, and notable books. Data were analyzed using a narrative method that leaned more on the interpretivist approach.

Results: The study showed that accreditation process in the selected countries has some similarities in process and standards such as setting of minimum standards, self-study, selection and training of reviewers, site visit, reporting, final decision, disclosure, academic matter (curriculum), students, staffing, facilities and funding. Also, there exist some differences in the process and standards across the countries of study in term of preliminary/preassessment visit before actual site visit, factual error checking, virtual visit, third party agencies, verification of external auditor’s report, etc.

Conclusion: The study assesses the university accreditation systems in Nigeria, Egypt, Malawi, and Japan. Accrediting agencies need to focus on future accreditation in term of digitalisation of accreditation process, emergence of non-traditional providers of higher education, high demand for competency-based university education/learning, high rate of global competitiveness, and elimination of academic and accreditation corruption in the system.

A new amorphous alloy (Al74Cu16Mg10)99,7Zr0.3 was prepared the applying a melt-spinning technique. Temperature dependence of viscosity of the alloy was determined using data from a PerkinElmer TMS2 thermo-mechanical analyzer processed according to a methodology based on the Free Volume Model (FVM). The strength of the alloy was calculated according to the Yang equation and the glass-forming ability was calculated according to the values of the Angell index mA. The activation energy of crystallization and the activation energy of the glass transition were computed using data from differential scanning calorimetry and thermomechanical experiments respectively. The activation energy of crystallization Еx = 168 ± 3.7 kJ/mol, was found to be higher than the activation energy of the glass transition Еg = 156 ± 1.4 kJ/mol, which means a dominant contribution of the atomic transport barrier, compared to the nucleation barrier. The relatively high temperature interval of the supercooled melt state Tx-Tg = 32 K and the low viscosity values in the same range ƞ(Тg) = 3.40E + 11 Pa.s and ƞ(Тx) = 1.87E + 10 Pa.s would allow thermomechanical treatment of the alloy in the temperature range of supercooled melt.

Given that resilience is the ability to cope with adversities, and impulsivity is characterized with rapid reactions without foresight, we aimed to explore the pathways between intra-familial childhood adversities, resilience, impulsivity and suicidal behaviors among adolescents in Mahdia and Gafsa cities (Tunisia). We conducted a cross-sectional study in secondary schools from January to February 2020. Exposure to intra-familial early life experiences was evaluated by the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)-International Questionnaire. Resilience and impulsivity were assessed via the Adolescent Psychological Resilience and the Barratt Impulsivity Scale. A total of 3170 students were recruited with a response rate of 74%. About 81.1% of them reported being emotionally abused. The resilience mean score was 86.10 ± 9.85. Impulsivity was screened among 42.2% of them. About 38% of students presented suicidal thoughts, 16.4% had a suicide plan, and 10.8% have made a suicide attempt. We found that exposure to intra-familial ACEs predicts suicidal behaviors through impulsiveness (% mediated = 18% for emotional violence) and interpersonal resilience (% mediated = 24% for emotional violence; % mediated = 20.4% for physical violence). Our results emphasize the need to prevent ACEs, and to seek out a way to promote ACE protective factors among adolescents such as resilience.

Authors: O. Ochora Douglas , Moodley Thrineshen , Hayeshi Rose 
Published: November 2023

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a Mediterranean plant that has been used in various countries for the treatment of various diseases in traditional medicine for many generations. These reported medicinal properties of pomegranate are mainly attributed to the presence of various phytochemical compounds in the plant. Scientific literature search was done in PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Full articles published in English for the last 25 years were selected. Pomegranate juice is the widely studied product of a plant. This is because of its wide medicinal and dietary use. Approximately 500 pure compounds have been isolated and characterized from different parts of the plant species. Phytochemically, the juice, seeds, flowers, and peels of P. granatum are the most studied parts of the plant. Major phytochemical compounds isolated from the plant include alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, sterols, and terpenes. Most of the compounds isolated from P. granatum belong to ellagitannins (punicalagins) and gallotannins. Medicinally, the use of different parts of pomegranate for the treatment of different types of cancer and cardiovascular diseases is the most widely reported in both preclinical and clinical researches. The herb/food-drug interactions of pomegranate juice with approved drugs have shown that pomegranate juice has the potential to inhibit some drugs, especially those metabolized by cytochrome CYP3A and CYP2C9. The current chapter gives a broad overview of the phytochemical, pharmacological, and herb/food-drug interactions of pomegranate.

Postural stability as a determinant of agility in ice hockey
Authors: Broďáni Jaroslav , Guzman Matúš , Huszár Viktor 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
In this paper, we highlight the interactions of dynamic postural stability (DPS) and running agility of ice hockey players in Slovakia.
Material and methods
Postural stability was assessed using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) and agility by the 6x9m running test. We expected significant interactions between agility test performance and DPS for both legs in all directions tested.
The level of DPS was characterized by descriptive statistics. Laterality between right and left standing leg was assessed by Student's t-test. The relationships between DPS and agility were investigated by Pearson correlation coefficient "r". Statistical significance of differences and relationships was assessed at the 5% significance level.
Results
The results of the correlation analysis pointed to interactions of movement performance in the agility of hockey players with DPS predominantly with all tested directions (p<0.05). Non-significant interactions (p>0.05) were demonstrated only with the Anteriomedial direction in the right standing leg and in the Anterior position for the left standing leg. Differences in laterality between the right and left standing leg were found only in the Anteriomedial and PosteroMedial directions (p<0.05).
Stepwise regression showed the highest tightness of agility on the left leg in the Medial direction (average values ​​r = 0.665, Beta*r = 44.23%) and Posterolateral direction (maximum values ​​r = 0.665, Beta*r = 44.23%). On the right leg, in the Posteromedial direction (average values ​​r = 0.658, Beta*r = 44.01%) and the Posterior direction (maximum values ​​r = 0.663, Beta*r = 43.90%).
Conclusions
The positive interactions of agility and DPS in hockey players highlight the importance of a balanced and stable stance of both feet in all directions. Perfect balance and stability of hockey players eliminates fluctuations created by running or skating movement in all directions and facilitates their execution without major changes in dynamic performance. It also significantly increases the chances of reducing the activation time of the muscle chains involved in the test execution technique, or in the structure of hockey players' skating technique itself.

S’unir dans l’émotion

Published: November 2023

Du 7 au 13 juillet 1929, plus de 6 000 infirmières venues du monde entier se
réunirent à Montréal pour assister au sixième congrès du Conseil international des
gardes-malades. Cet événement d’ampleur, encore peu étudié, fut pourtant central dans la
construction de l’identité professionnelle des gardes-malades canadiennes-françaises. Ces
dernières, qui s’étaient d’abord vues exclues de l’organisation de la manifestation, alors
même qu’elles devaient en être in fine les principales hôtesses, se mobilisèrent en
effet de manière inédite pour affirmer leur indignation et par là même l’unité linguistique
et le poids politique de leur corps professionnel. C’est à cette occasion, et par le biais
d’un vécu émotionnel partagé, que se fit réellement jour la communauté des gardes-malades
canadiennes-françaises.
Les filles mineures devant la Cour de bien-être social de Chicoutimi (1963‑1977)
Authors: Tremblay Catherine 
Published: November 2023

Cet article propose d’observer les mineurs présumés « exposés à des dangers moraux ou physiques » qui ont comparu devant la Cour de bien-être social de Chicoutimi entre 1963 et 1977. On constate que les motifs qui justifient de faire comparaître les mineurs devant la cour sont grandement modulés par le genre des accusés. Cependant, si les garçons et les filles sont appelés au tribunal pour des motifs différents, il apparaît qu’au final la volonté de les « protéger » affiche des allures similaires.
L’expérience primitive du voyage ferroviaire au Québec
Authors: Gagnon Alex 
Published: November 2023

L’histoire ferroviaire du Québec demeure mal connue. Destinés au grand public quand ils n’émanent pas de la recherche anglophone, dominés d’ailleurs par l’histoire économique et politique, la plupart des travaux sur les chemins de fer québécois (et canadiens) disent très peu de choses de la vie ferroviaire complexe du 19e siècle. En adoptant les perspectives d’une histoire sociale et culturelle, cet article reconstitue l’univers physique, social et sensoriel des gares et des wagons de l’époque « primitive » du chemin de fer québécois, le deuxième tiers du 19e siècle étant marqué par son apparition, son implantation et ses premières appropriations par les populations locales.

Background
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is the central enzyme of glycolysis and plays important regulatory roles in plant growth and development and responses to adverse stress conditions. However, studies on the characteristics and functions of cotton GAPDH family genes are still lacking.

Methods
In this study, genome-wide identification of the cotton GAPDH gene family was performed, and the phylogeny, gene structures, promoter progenitors and expression profiles of upland cotton GAPDH gene family members were explored by bioinformatics analysis to highlight potential functions. The functions of GhGAPDH9 in response to drought stress were initially validated based on RNA-seq, qRT‒PCR, VIGS techniques and overexpression laying a foundation for further studies on the functions of GAPDH genes.

Results
This study is the first systematic analysis of the cotton GAPDH gene family, which contains a total of 84 GAPDH genes, among which upland cotton contains 27 members. Quantitative, phylogenetic and covariance analyses of the genes revealed that the GAPDH gene family has been conserved during the evolution of cotton. Promoter analysis revealed that most cis-acting elements were related to MeJA and ABA. Based on the identified promoter cis-acting elements and RNA-seq data, it was hypothesized that Gh_GAPDH9, Gh_GAPDH11, Gh_GAPDH19 and Gh_GAPDH21 are involved in the response of cotton to abiotic stress. The expression levels of the Gh_GAPDH9 gene in two drought-resistant and two drought-sensitive materials were analyzed by qRT‒PCR and found to be high early in the treatment period in the drought-resistant material. The silencing of Gh_GAPDH9 based on virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technology resulted in significant leaf wilting or whole-plant dieback in silenced plants after drought stress compared to the control. The content of—malondialdehyde (MDA) in cotton leaves was significantly increased, and the content of proline (Pro) and chlorophyll (Chl) was reduced. In addition, the leaf wilting and dryness of transgenic lines under drought stress were lower than those of wild-type Arabidopsis, indicating that Gh_GAPDH9 is a positive regulator of drought resistance. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that GAPDH genes play an important role in the response of cotton to abiotic stresses and provide preliminary validation of the function of the Gh_GAPDH9 gene under drought stress. These findings provide an important theoretical basis for further studies on the function of the Gh_GAPDH9 gene and the molecular mechanism of the drought response in cotton.
Encouraging children's clarification requests with “I don't understand” rule reminders
Authors: Rodriguez Steen Lillian A. , Malloy Lindsay C. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractWhen children are questioned, it is crucial they request clarification to resolve potential misunderstandings. The current research tested a method for increasing children's appropriate clarification requests during an interview, and examined the impact of age and question characteristics. Children (n = 81), ages 6‐ to 11‐years‐old, responded to scripted questions, some of which were designed to be “tricky” and required clarification. Half of the children received “I don't understand” (IDU) rule reminders during the interview. Older children and children who received IDU rule reminders requested clarification to a significantly greater proportion of tricky questions than younger children and children who did not receive reminders. Results indicate that children can recognize when they need clarification, and reminding them of the IDU rule increases the frequency with which they request clarification. Children's ability to request clarification provides insight into children's metacognitive abilities and has implications for those who question children across contexts (e.g., forensic, research).
Accelerating Proton and Electron Transfer Enables Highly Active Fe─N─C Catalyst for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction
Authors: Wang Xiaoyu , Wang Cai , Ren Houan , Lu Jiaxin , Chen Bairong , Liu Yuping , Guan Qingxin , Li Wei 
Published: November 2023

AbstractAtomically dispersed Fe─N─C catalysts display great potential for efficient CO production in the field of electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR), but still suffer from unsatisfactory activity limited by the slow proton and electron transfer during the ECR process. Here, a superior Fe─N─C electrocatalyst is designed by anchoring the individual FeN4 sites and Fe nanoparticles onto highly conductive carbon nanotubes. The resultant catalyst displays a commendable CO partial current density of 16.01 mA cm−2 with a turnover frequency of 3519.6 h−1 at −0.65 V in an H‐type cell, and also exhibits CO selectivity > 90% under high current density over 120 mA cm−2 in a flow cell. This remarkable activity exceeds a host of previously reported Fe─N─C catalysts. The findings indicate that the carbon nanotube facilitates CO production due to its strong capability of electron transport and charge transfer. In situ spectroscopic analysis, controlled experiments, and theoretical calculations reveal that Fe nanoparticles effectively promote water dissociation and the subsequent protonation step, accelerate the formation of *COOH intermediate, and thus greatly enhance the ECR activity.
