IntroductionThis study aimed to evaluate the implications of supplementary nutrition during the mid-to-late pregnancy on various parameters in Hanwoo cows and their subsequent neonatal calves.Materials and methodsEight Hanwoo cows in their first parity were divided into two groups. The control group (C, 100%) received 3kg of concentrate and 5kg of rice straw throughout the pregnancy period, while the treatment group (T, 150%) increased their diet during mid-to-late pregnancy. Both performance assessments and blood metabolite analyses were performed for the pregnant cows. Neonatal calves were subjected to morphometric evaluations, blood sampling, and detailed morphometric analyses of carcasses and gastrointestinal components.ResultsPerformance indices of the cows showed that both Pregnancy Period (PregP) and Body Condition Score (BCS) were significantly improved with supplemental feeding (p &lt;0.05). Improvements in Body Weight (BW) and Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) were not statistically significant. Blood metabolite analysis for the cows revealed decreased levels of triglycerides (TGLate), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFALate), and progesterone (P4Late), with a notable increase in glucose (GluLate) levels (p &lt;0.01). In the neonatal calves, anatomical metrics of the gastrointestinal tissues showed increased Omasum Width (OmasWdth) values in the supplemented group (p =0.053). There was significant increase of papillae and villus lengths in the rumen and small intestine (p &lt;0.01 and p &lt;0.05, respectively). Morphometric evaluations displayed longer body lengths (BLnth) and larger chest width (ChestWdth) in the treated calves (p &lt;0.05 and p &lt;0.01, respectively). Carcass characteristics showed no substantial variations between the groups, while blood analysis in the calves revealed decreased GPT levels in the nutritionally supplemented group (p&lt;0.05).DiscussionThe findings indicate that supplementing the diets of Hanwoo cows during mid-to-late pregnancy leads to significant changes in select maternal blood metabolites and influences specific anatomical and morphometric features in neonatal calves, all without significant shifts in carcass attributes.

Key Points

Incidence of ESKD in the first year after primary organ transplant ranges from 2.4% to 3.6% and from 1.4% to 1.8% in the second year post-transplant.National data sources do not currently collect sufficiently reliable follow-up data to identify pretransplant predictors of ESKD.

Background
Careful selection of multiorgan transplant candidates is required to avoid unintended consequences to patients waiting for kidney transplant alone. The need for a safety net among heart and lung transplant recipients is unknown. The objective of this study was to quantify the incidence of kidney failure after liver, heart, or lung transplantation and identify pretransplant predictors of post-transplant kidney failure.

Methods
A retrospective cross-sectional study of adults who received liver, heart, or lung transplant between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2018, was conducted using data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipient and the United States Renal Data System. Post-transplant renal failure was defined as (1) new start of dialysis, (2) eGFR of <25 ml/min, (3) a new waitlisting for a kidney transplant, or (4) receipt of a kidney transplant.

Results
The final descriptive cohort included 53,620 liver transplant recipients, 22,042 heart transplant recipients, and 10,688 lung transplant recipients. In the first year post-transplant, the probability of ESKD was comparable among heart transplant recipients (0.036; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.033 to 0.038) and liver transplant recipients (0.033; 95% CI, 0.031 to 0.035) but was markedly lower in lung transplant recipients (0.024; 95% CI, 0.021 to 0.027). In the second year post-transplant, the probability of ESKD was comparable among liver (0.016; 95% CI, 0.015 to 0.017), lung (0.018; 95% CI, 0.015 to 0.021), and heart transplant recipients (0.014; 95% CI, 0.013 to 0.016).

Conclusions
Candidates for thoracic transplant would likely benefit from a safety net policy similar to the one enacted in 2017 for liver transplant so as to maintain judicious patient selection for simultaneous multiorgan transplant. National data sources do not currently collect sufficiently reliable follow-up data to identify pretransplant predictors of ESKD, pointing to a need for transplant centers to consistently report kidney impairment data to national databases.

Infecções relacionada à fraturas (IRF) é uma das complicações mais desafiadoras na cirurgia do trauma, uma vez que, tais infecções prejudicam a formação do calo ósseo, podendo levar a soltura séptica dos implantes e a não consolidação (não união) causando sequelas de elevada morbidade. Tais sequelas impedem que o paciente retorne as suas funcionalidades, o que compromete sua qualidade de vida e renda onerando assim o sistema previdenciário do país. O presente estudo visa avaliar o impacto de um bundle de prevenção de infecção de sítio cirúrgico (ISC) na redução das taxas de IRF no Hospital Universitário Ciências Médicas. Trata-se de estudo de coorte unicêntrico realizado entre janeiro/2021 e dez/2022, no qual compara-se a taxa de IRF nos pacientes submetidos a qualquer tipo de cirurgia ortopédica para estabilização óssea por fraturas fechadas antes e depois da implementação do bundle. O pacote do bundle consistiu de 4 intervenções: profilaxia antibiótica de espectro estendido, repique intraoperatório de antibiótico quando necessário, auditoria dos procedimentos cirúrgicos com feedbacks e treinamento/sensibilização do corpo clinico para medidas de prevenção de ISC. A implementação do Bundle se mostrou eficiente, levando a uma queda do risco geral de desenvolver IRF em 59%. O risco relativo de desenvolvimento de IRF após implementação do Bundle foi 0,4 (p=0.000; IC 95% [0.22; 0.58). A estratégia Bundle implementada se apresentou eficaz para redução das taxas de IRF. Sua efetividade associada ao seu baixo custo e facilidade de implementação, permite que a mesma seja replicada em centro ortopédicos de países em desenvolvimento e com isso reduzir a morbidade e os custos sociais que as IRF’s causam nestes países.

Abstract
Introducing quantum wells (QWs) into a GaAs solar cell can expand its spectral response range to raise the short-circuit current (J
sc). GaInP/GaInAs/Ge triple-junction (TJ) solar cells with strain-balanced InGaAs/GaAsP QWs in a GaInAs cell have been fabricated and irradiated by 1 MeV electron fluences. The AM0 efficiency of the TJ cell increases from 30% to 32% by inserting 30 period QWs. Under the electron irradiation condition of 1 MeV, 1 × 1015 cm−2, the radiation resistance of quantum well solar cells (QWSCs) is worse than that of the reference cell without QWs. The effect of QW doping on the radiation resistance of the 30 QWSC has been studied. After irradiation, the radiation resistance of J
sc is improved by the unintentional doping of QWs, resulting in lower degradation of efficiency. An efficiency of 26.30% after irradiation is attained and this indicates that the QWSC has expectable potential to be applied to satellites.

Abstract
A cobalt sulfide (CoS

) film compromising CoS2 and Co9S8 nanograins was formed by sulfurizing the surface of a Co film to use for resistive switching (RS) memory. The work function and band gap of the CoS
x
film were measured to be 4.78 eV and 2.18 eV, respectively. The CoS
x
film was used as a resistive layer together with the Co film underneath as a bottom electrode, and a Ag or Cu film as the top electrode. Both Ag/CoS
x
/Co and Cu/CoS
x
/Co devices exhibited bipolar RS behavior with the capability of multi-level memory storage. The conduction of both devices in low resistive states was correlated with metallic filamentary paths following ohmic conduction, whereas Schottky emission originated at the Ag/CoS
x
and Cu/CoS
x
interfaces dominated in the high resistance state. The performance of Ag/CoS
x
/Co and Cu/CoS
x
/Co devices were compared and correlated with the properties of Ag and Cu electrodes.

Published: November 2023

Diante das dificuldades que envolvem a análise e o exercício do pensar próprios da fenomenologia pura, quando exige do estudante e do professor um nível de inteligibilidade distante do modo natural de pensar, busca-se apresentar aqui uma via metodológica de discussão que visa conduzir a um movimento didático de reflexão em vista de uma compreensão introdutória à fenomenologia transcendental de E. Husserl. Parte-se de informações históricas do debate científico-filosófico e epistemológico presente no ambiente cultural europeu do séc. XIX e início do séc. XX, onde se destaca a controvérsia em torno do psicologismo e antipsicologismo, e de informações histórico-conceituais motivadoras do percurso investigativo husserliano. A partir daí é que são apresentados os principais conceitos estruturadores da fenomenologia pura de Husserl, que requer, para compreendê-la, uma radical mudança de hábito no modo de ser do pensar natural.

Onion is an important cash crop that could enhance the income of agro-pastoralists in Nyangatom woreda as the area has huge potential for water availability from the Omo River and fertile land. However, access to improved onion variety is limited in the area. Thus, this study aimed to demonstrate the improved onion variety with its agronomic management in the production season. Onion growers were purposely selected and have taken training on onion production by using recommended doses of fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation, and suitable agronomic practices. Each agro-pastoralist covered 0.064 hectares of land by improved onion. The recorded data from the field experiment and agro-pastoral perceptions were analyzed through simple descriptive and preference ranking tools. From the result of the demonstration trial, the mean bulb yield of the improved onion (Nafis variety) was 125 qt/ha. The average return obtained from the sale of onion bulbs per hectare was 334,925 Ethiopian birr. Moreover, the benefit-to-cost ratio of improved onion production was 8.34:1, which indicates the benefits outweigh the costs, suggesting a positive return on improved onion production in the area. The agro-pastoralist’s preference further showed that the Nafis variety was the best one or superior to the local variety in terms of its high-yielding ability, dark green leaf color, medium bulb size, and market preference. Therefore, the authors suggest the respective government and non-government bodies to further promote improved onion in the area.

High-soft to Low-hard State Transition in Black Hole X-Ray Binaries with GRMHD Simulations
Authors: Dihingia Indu K. , Mizuno Yosuke , Sharma Prateek 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
To understand the decaying phase of outbursts in the black hole (BH) X-ray binaries (BH-XRBs), we performed very long general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of a geometrically thin accretion disk around a Kerr BH with slowly rotating matter injected from outside. We thoroughly studied the flow properties, dynamical behavior of the accretion rate, magnetic flux rate, and jet properties during the temporal evolution. Due to the interaction between the thin disk and injected matter, the accretion flow near the BH goes through different phases. The sequence of phases is: soft state → soft-intermediate state → hard-intermediate state → hard state → quiescent state. For the accretion rate (and hence the luminosity) to decrease (as observed) in our model, the mass injection should not decay slower than the angular momentum injection. We also observed quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) in the accretion flow. Throughout the evolution, we observed low-frequency QPOs (∼10 Hz) and high-frequency QPOs (∼200 Hz). Our simple unified accretion flow model for state transitions is able to describe outbursts in BH-XRBs.
A Database of Magnetic and Thermodynamic Properties of Confined and Eruptive Solar Flares
Authors: Kazachenko Maria D. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Solar flares sometimes lead to coronal mass ejections that directly affect Earth's environment. However, a large fraction of flares, including on solar-type stars, are confined flares. What are the differences in physical properties between confined and eruptive flares? For the first time, we quantify the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of hundreds of confined and eruptive flares of GOES class C5.0 and above, 480 flares in total. We first analyze large flares of GOES class M1.0 and above observed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory, 216 flares in total, including 103 eruptive and 113 confined flares, from 2010 until 2016 April; we then look at the entire data set of 480 flares above class C5.0. We compare GOES X-ray thermodynamic flare properties, including peak temperature and emission measure, and active-region (AR) and flare-ribbon magnetic field properties, including reconnected magnetic flux and peak reconnection rate. We find that for fixed peak X-ray flux, confined and eruptive flares have similar reconnection fluxes; however, for fixed peak X-ray flux confined flares have on average larger peak magnetic reconnection rates, are more compact, and occur in larger ARs than eruptive flares. These findings suggest that confined flares are caused by reconnection between more compact, stronger, lower-lying magnetic fields in larger ARs that reorganizes a smaller fraction of these regions’ fields. This reconnection proceeds at faster rates and ends earlier, potentially leading to more efficient flare particle acceleration in confined flares.
Accompagner les initiatives citoyennes dans le cadre d’un projet de revitalisation d’une commune rurale : le cas de Volonne

Published: November 2023

Cet article traite de la recomposition des relations entre acteurs publics et citoyens dans la définition et la conduite de projets d’urbanisme durable en milieu rural, à partir de l’analyse du cas de Volonne (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence). Dans une forme de prolongement de la dynamique participative initiée lors de la création de l’EcoQuartier centre-bourg (labellisé étape 4 par le Ministère), alliant des dispositifs de consultation, de concertation et de co-construction, cette commune rurale a vu l’émergence d’un engagement citoyen multiforme étudié dans cette recherche. Nous questionnons dans cette perspective la capacité des communes rurales à accompagner et pérenniser les initiatives citoyennes dans ces démarches visant la transformation du cadre bâti et le développement du « vivre ensemble » dans les espaces ruraux. La recherche a mis en lumière la diversité des initiatives citoyennes et leur participation à l’amélioration du cadre de vie mais aussi la nécessaire modification des cadres d’action publique traditionnels. L’association entre acteurs publics et citoyens appelle des ajustements, des articulations qui restent pour partie à trouver pour répondre aux difficultés de coordination ou au risque de resserrement des initiatives autour d’un groupe restreint de participants.

Authors: Alkhayal Abdullah , Aljumaiah Sahar , Alyami Ali , Abumelha Saad , Alrabeeah Khalid 
Published: November 2023

Background:
Varicocele is a reversible cause of male infertility. However, there are conflicting data available concerning the benefit of varicocele repair for patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) and severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT).

Objective:
To address the benefit of varicocelectomy in patients with severe OAT and NOA with regard to their semen parameters and surgical sperm retrieval rate in those who underwent testicular sperm extraction (TESE) or testicular sperm aspiration (TESA).

Materials and Methods:
This retrospective cohort study was conducted on a sample of 13 patients diagnosed with NOA and severe OAT who underwent varicocelectomy for infertility treatment with no prespecified exclusion criteria.

Results:
Thirteen patients were enrolled. Five patients were diagnosed with NOA; eight were diagnosed with severe OAT. For improvements in the semen parameters postoperatively, the semen concentration of all patients was significantly increased compared to the preoperative concentration (3.59 ± 10.0.8 vs. 0.25 ± 0.31, P = 0.02) and the remaining parameters were unchanged. Regarding sperm retrieval, three patients underwent TESE and two patients underwent TESA, in which all had positive results.

Conclusion:
Varicocele repair was found to improve the semen parameters in patients with NOA and severe OAT and produced a successful surgical sperm retrieval rate in all patients who underwent TESA or TESE.
Age-related changes in hormonal profiles and testicular diameter of West African Dwarf buck treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone
Authors: Oruene I.S. , Mutembei H.M. , Kipyegon A.N. 
Published: November 2023

This study aimed to investigate the impact of age-related peripheral and Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) -stimulated hormonal profiles on testicular size in West African dwarf bucks. Twelve 3-month-old bucks were randomly divided into two groups: the GnRH- treated group (n = 6) and the control group (n = 6). Over the course of 10 months, from month 3 to month 12, the testicular diameter of all bucks was measured monthly, and blood samples were collected monthly for hormone analysis. The results showed that testicular diameter increased with age and higher concentrations of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Testosterone (T). The GnRHtreated group reached its peak testicular diameter (28.36±1.44 mm) earlier at 8 months compared to the control group (30.50±1.44 mm) at 10 months, aligning with the peak concentrations of FSH, LH, and T. While the GnRH stimulation led to higher FSH, LH, T, and estrogen levels in the treated group, it didn't significantly affect the final testicular diameter (p<0.05). It can be concluded that hormonal levels rise with age and increasing testicular size, and GnRH stimulation can accelerate this process. Testicular size is an important factor in breeding soundness and is influenced by LH, FSH, and testosterone concentrations. These hormones can reliably indicate the reproductive capacity of the buck. Therefore, hormonal profiling should be an integral part of the breeding soundness examination.
