Published: January 2024

People have been researching how to live longer in our world, as the only thing we cannot escape is death itself. They looked at animals and everything, but recent studies have shown that our immune system is the secret to living longer. By keeping our immune systems in top condition, we can maximize our time to live in this world. Firstly, adopting a healthy lifestyle can make our immune system far healthier.
Doing exercise always enhances immunity by promoting circulation and reducing chronic inflammation. A diet of plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins provides essential nutrients and antioxidants for immune cell function. Sufficient sleep allows for optimal immune system recovery and regulation. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies and memory cells, which provide protection against pathogens. Routine immunizations, such as influenza and pneumonia vaccines, are essential for older adults at higher risk of severe complications from these infections. Finally, not using drugs or Alcohol keeps our body in the best condition possible, allowing us to produce many immune cells and overall making our body more robust. In specific,
Additionally, emerging fields like personalized medicine and immune rejuvenation therapies to individual immune profiles and rejuvenating immune function. In these aspects, this research paper will dive deep into why our immune system declines and how we can prevent that from happening by applying these methods. Methods such as these will be present throughout this research paper. This immune system research paper is attached below.

Published: January 2024

Previous research indicates patients have limited knowledge regarding anesthesia and the role of medical anesthetists [5]. Research also suggests a majority of patients experience perioperative fear, along with a fear of anesthesia [6]. Achieving patient and public recognition of anesthesia can help lessen fear and anxiety, improving surgical outcomes [5]. Our aim is to determine the quality of YouTube videos related to anesthesia information for patients. YouTube videos were searched utilizing the phrase “How does anesthesia work?” and sorted based on “Relevance” as determined by YouTube. Two medical student graders scored the top 50 videos using a modified DISCERN [8,9] (“mDISCERN”) and a Global Quality Scale (GQS) [8] as quality measurement instruments. The students reached Agreed Upon Total (“AUT”) scores for each video. The mean AUT mDISCERN score was 4.2 with a standard deviation of s=0.9035079. The mean AUT GQS was 3.88 with a standard deviation of s=1.171777. Tests were ran to compare videos in which healthcare providers/facilities were involved in the production (“credentialed”) versus those in which either professionals were not involved, or their involvement was not disclosed (“not credentialed”). Utilizing mDISCERN, there is a higher video quality for “credentialed” videos. However, there was not a statistically significant difference for GQS scores. The scored videos were generally of good quality and did provide useful information to potential patients. Higher quality videos tended to describe the basic science and physiology behind anesthesia and also clearly explained the process of undergoing anesthesia.
Does Air Travel Adversely Affect Team Performance in Major League Baseball?
Authors: Diaz Ciro , Hannan Luke , Pedroza Jesus , Sanchez Kenneth , Sommers Paul Martin 
Published: January 2024

Previous studies of the effects of air travel on team performance in baseball focused on jet lag, namely, teams that traveled across at least two time zones between games. But baseball teams that travel extensively up and down either the West or East Coast do not cross one (let alone two) time zones. For the years between 2019 and 2022 (including the COVID-19 pandemic-shortened 2020 season), the authors relate the difference between a team’s season-long winning percentage at home less its winning percentage on the road to the total regular season-long number of miles traveled for the 15 teams in each league. Save for a pair of teams in the American League in 2020, the authors find that there is no statistically discernible relationship between the number of miles traveled per season and the difference between home and away team win percentages.
Understanding the origin and role of driver mutations in the case of Acute Myeloid Leukemia using a simulation study
Authors: Kaur Achint , Lefrancq Noemie 
Published: January 2024

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, with millions of new cases diagnosed each year. Understanding how those cancers arise within individuals is a major challenge. Here we focus on Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) a type of blood cancer in the bone marrow that involves the formation of abnormal myeloid cells in an individual. Each year, 190,000 cases are diagnosed worldwide, of which 147,000 die. (Acute Myeloid Leukemia, n.d.)
In this paper, we aim to better understand the origin of AML and the role of driver mutations at the individual level.
We build a Birth-Death model to explore the role of mutation along with cell birth rate, cell death rate, and tissue size. Each simulation is individual-specific, which allows us to consider stochasticity across individuals.
We show that initial cell birth rate and cell death rate only play a minor role in cancer progression, even if there is a large inter-individual variance. On the contrary, we show that driver mutation rates play a more critical role in causing Acute Myeloid Leukemia. All in all, our paper highlights large variability in cancer progression across individuals and the major role of driver mutations in causing AML. This simulation model could be used to study other types of cancers.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT

China's ancient ethnic minority clothes contain remarkable cultural elements, and among its treasures is the unique Naxi dress, the nation's oldest-standing traditional ethnic clothing. This study analyses the traditional Naxi clothing's structure, colour, fabric, motif characteristics, and accessories. These studies specify traditional Naxi clothing as the primary goal, which is fashioned in contemporary ways. Through an investigation of clothing composition and culture, the four main elements that constitute Naxi costumes should be applied to contemporary clothes. Firstly, the term "variability" designates a distinct style that differs in appearance depending on the way it is dressed. Secondly, the term 'colour contrast' denotes a high level of visual contrast. Third, material difference' integrates various materials into one. Fourth,' symbolic meaning' provides meaning to the wearer. As a consequence of this research, two modern clothing outfits were created with the implication of the unique character of Naxi costume clothes as a fashion design product, based on the traditional cultural characteristics of the Naxi people. By integrating components of traditional Naxi clothing and emphasising innovation, this study investigates and offers novel ideas for contemporary clothing design while simultaneously preserving traditional cultural elements for future generations.

Published: January 2024

Registration for Hajj in Malaysia through Tabung Haji (TH) is a significant and religiously important process for Malaysian Muslims who wish to perform the Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. Hajj pilgrimage is one of fundamental pillars of the Five Pillars of Islam and a compulsory religious duty for Muslims who are physically and financially able to undertake the journey at least once in their lifetime. TH is a government-owned institution that specializes in facilitating the Hajj for Malaysian Muslims by providing comprehensive Hajj packages, support and guidance. Unfortunately, however, there are a significant number of TH depositors who are unaware of the need to register for Hajj as evident from the number of depositors who have not registered for Hajj against the number of depositors who are already eligible for Hajj registration. Thus, the aim of this study is to reveal the determinant that influence TH depositors in their intention to register for Hajj in Sabah. The study also notes the relationship between perceived behavioral control, ibadah personality and service quality with the intention to register for Hajj. The study applied a quantitative analysis by distributing survey questionnaires among TH depositors in the state. The findings indicated that all three factors, namely perceived behavioural control, ibadah personality and quality of the service, are the influencing reasons on the intention of TH depositors to register for Hajj in Sabah. This study is significant as it is one of the earlier studies in Malaysia, particularly in Sabah, that examine the intention to register for Hajj from the perspectives of TH depositors. Therefore, the findings will have the practical use particularly for TH to enhance their strategies in attracting TH depositors to register for Hajj.

Effect of stress on hair aging
Authors: Elaarabi Soukaina 
Published: January 2024

Background: Hair acquires its color throught melanocytes that add pigment to the hair.Neurons release neurotransmitters in times of stress or fear. Once this system is activated, oxidative stress works when free radicals cut DNA in melanin-producing cells in hair follicles ,called melanocytes, until they finally stop. This damage is “oxidative stress” as it occurs in all cells of our bodies as a natural result of the aging processs. In this review, we will discuss the problem of graying hair due to stress. In this review we will discuss the relation between graying hair and stress.Methods:An extensive search was conducted in Pumed/PMC/Scielo/Google Scholar and web of science databases. The articles used were from 5 April 2005 to 1 January 2020. Results : Stress can have a variety of negative effects on the body. The idea that acute stress can lead to hair aging and gray is a popular belief. However, so far, this link has not been scientifically proven. Empirical evidence supports the hypothesis that oxidative stress causes premature aging of skin and hair. Stress was abnormally associated with a variety of changes in tissues, including graying of hair.Conclusion: Stress is not the only factor that seems to affect the pigmentation of hair. further studies are needed to clarify other factors involved.

Abstract. The lack of continental ice sheets in Alaska during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 26–19 ka) has long been attributed to extensive aridity in the western Arctic. More recently, climate model outputs, a few isolated paleoclimate studies, and global paleoclimate synthesis products show mild summer temperature depressions in Alaska compared to much of the high northern latitudes. This suggests the importance of limited summer temperature depressions in controlling the relatively limited glacier growth during the LGM. To explore this further, we present a new statewide map of LGM alpine glacier equilibrium line altitudes (ELAs), LGM ΔELAs (LGM ELA anomalies relative to the Little Ice Age, LIA), and ΔELA-based estimates of temperature depressions across Alaska to assess paleoclimate conditions. We reconstructed paleoglacier surfaces in ArcGIS to calculate ELAs using an accumulation area ratio (AAR) of 0.58 and an area–altitude balance ratio (AABR) of 1.56. We calculated LGM ELAs (n= 480) in glaciated massifs in the state, excluding areas in southern Alaska that were covered by the Cordilleran Ice Sheet. The data show a trend of increasing ELAs from the southwest to the northeast during both the LGM and the LIA, indicating a consistent southern Bering Sea and northernmost Pacific Ocean precipitation source. Our LGM–LIA ΔELAs from the Alaska Range, supported with limited LGM–LIA ΔELAs from the Brooks Range and the Kigluaik Mountains, average to −355 ± 176 m. This value is much greater than the global LGM average of ca. −1000 m. Using a range of atmospheric lapse rates, LGM–LIA ΔELAs in Alaska translate to summer cooling of < 2–5 ∘C. Our results are consistent with a growing number of local climate proxy reconstructions and global data assimilation syntheses that indicate mild summer temperature across Beringia during the LGM. Limited LGM summer temperature depressions could be explained by the influence of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets on atmospheric circulation.

RESUMO: O uso de fosfogesso e bentonita para estabilização de solos tropicais, visando a utilização em barreiras hidráulicas, tem apresentado resultados promissores em termos de permeabilidade, compatibilidade e resistência, mas não existem estudos sobre o potencial de colapso desses materiais. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo é verificar o potencial de colapso de um solo tropical e suas misturas com fosfogesso e bentonita para aplicação em barreiras hidráulicas. Para atender esse objetivo, ensaios edométricos duplos foram executados em amostras compactadas na umidade ótima, em amostras de solo, solo+fosfogesso, solo+fosfogesso+bentonita (6%) e solo+fosfogesso+bentonita (9%). Ensaios de dispersão química foram realizados com água, NaCl, NaOH, álcool e HNO3, representando cenários de contaminação por soluções ácidas, básicas, sais e álcool. Os resultados do adensamento mostram que o solo e as misturas não são colapsíveis. Além disso, as misturas estudadas apresentaram deformações similares e menores quando comparadas a outros tipos de materiais reciclados. Pelo ensaio de dispersão verificou-se que a adição dos estabilizantes químicos diminui a dispersão das partículas em meio aquoso. Não foram observadas alterações estruturais significativas nas amostras inundadas com soluções de NaCl e etanol. Contudo, em condições de inundação por NaOH e HNO3, as misturas não possuem comportamento satisfatório. Dessa forma, o uso dessas misturas em barreiras hidráulicas não é recomendado quando o fluido percolante é ácido ou básico, especialmente na presença de sódio.

RESUMO: Mudanças climáticas têm influenciado no microclima dos centros urbanos e nas características das construções. O desempenho térmico dos envolventes pode interferir na eficiência energética e na sustentabilidade da edificação devido ao uso de climatização do ar. A pesquisa tem por objetivo avaliar as diferenças entre temperaturas externas e internas nos protótipos com diferentes materiais na cobertura. O manuscrito contempla uma pesquisa aplicada utilizando diferentes materiais, com e sem isolamento térmico, nas coberturas como telhas de fibrocimento, telha de cerâmica e telha metálica aplicadas em protótipos construídos com painel de madeira plastificada. No experimento foi avaliado as temperaturas dos ambientes externas e internas dos protótipos. Também, foi verificado as temperaturas nas faces externas e internas das coberturas com uso de termômetro infravermelho e termômetro ambiente. Os dados obtidos nas avaliações das temperaturas foram coletados no período de 5 dias, em três horários diferentes (10, 12 e 16 horas), organizados e analisados em planilha. Os resultados demonstraram que houve variação significativa entre as coberturas com e sem isolamento térmico. Quanto ao tipo de cobertura, o estudo conclui que a telha metálica com isolamento apresentou os melhores resultados de isolamento, reduzindo a transferência de calor do ambiente externo para interno dos protótipos.
ABSTRACT: Climate changes have influenced the microclimate of urban centers and the characteristics of buildings. The thermal performance of the surroundings can interfere with the energy efficiency and sustainability of the building due to the use of air conditioning. The research aims to evaluate the differences between external and internal temperatures in prototypes with different roof materials. The manuscript includes applied research using different materials, with and without thermal insulation, in roofs such as fiber cement tiles, ceramic tile, and metallic tile applied in prototypes built with plasticized wood panels. In the experiment, the temperatures of the external and internal environments of the prototypes were evaluated. Also, the temperatures on the external and internal faces of the roofs were verified using an infrared thermometer and an ambient thermometer. The data obtained in the temperature assessments were collected over a period of 5 days, at three different times (10, 12, and 16 hours), organized, and analyzed in a spreadsheet. The results showed that there was a significant variation between the roofs with and without thermal insulation. As for the type of cover, the study concludes that the metal tile with insulation presented the best insulation results, reducing the heat transfer from the external environment to the internal environment of the prototypes.
