SUMMARY
Turkey is characterized by a high level of seismic activity attributed to its complex tectonic structure. The country has a dense network to record earthquake ground motions; however, to study previous earthquakes and to account for potential future ones, ground motion simulations are required. Ground motion simulation techniques offer an alternative means of generating region-specific time-series data for locations with limited seismic networks or regions with seismic data gaps, facilitating the study of potential catastrophic earthquakes. In this research, a local ground motion model (GMM) for Turkey is developed using region-specific simulated records, thus constructing a homogeneous data set. The simulations employ the stochastic finite-fault approach and utilize validated input-model parameters in distinct regions, namely Afyon, Erzincan, Duzce, Istanbul and Van. To overcome the limitations of linear regression-based models, artificial neural network is used to establish the form of equations and coefficients. The predictive input parameters encompass fault mechanism (FM), focal depth (FD), moment magnitude (Mw), Joyner and Boore distance (RJB) and average shear wave velocity in the top 30 m (Vs30). The data set comprises 7359 records with Mw ranging between 5.0 and 7.5 and RJB ranging from 0 to 272 km. The results are presented in terms of spectral ordinates within the period range of 0.03–2.0 s, as well as peak ground acceleration and peak ground velocity. The quantification of the GMM uncertainty is achieved through the analysis of residuals, enabling insights into inter- and intra-event uncertainties. The simulation results and the effectiveness of the model are verified by comparing the predicted values of ground motion parameters with the observed values recorded during previous events in the region. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed model in simulating physical phenomena.

Abstract
Several immunization products are currently being developed against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) for children, pregnant females, and older adults, and some products have already received authorization. Therefore, studies to monitor the effectiveness of these products are needed in the following years. To assist researchers to conduct postmarketing studies, we developed a generic protocol for register-based cohort studies to evaluate immunization product effectiveness against RSV-specific and nonspecific outcomes. To conduct a study on the basis of this generic protocol, the researchers can use any relevant databases or healthcare registers that are available at the study site.
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum BL21 ameliorates alcoholic liver disease in mice through enhancement of the hepatic antioxidant capacity and modulation of the gut microbiota

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Background
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a chronic liver injury caused by excessive alcohol consumption, could be impacted by gut–liver axis dysfunction. The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the development and progression of ALD. Given the role of gut–liver axis dysfunction in ALD, strategies targeting gut microbiota modulation have gained interest for therapeutic interventions. Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum BL21 has shown promise in alleviating gut microbiota disturbances and metabolic regulation in high-fat diet-induced obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus models. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of BL21 on ALD mice and explore the potential mechanism by which the gut microbiota mediates the amelioration of ALD by BL21.

Methods
A total of 30 mice were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 10 mice/group): a healthy control (CTL) group, an ALD group, and a BL21 group. Each group was fed a Lieber–DeCarli liquid diet with (ALD and BL21) or without alcohol (CTL). The intervention period lasted 6 weeks, after which the effects of BL21 intervention (intragastric administration of 1 billion CFU of BL21 daily) on serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, hepatic oxidative stress, serum inflammatory cytokine levels, and gut microbiota composition in ALD mice were investigated.

Results
Dietary BL21 reduced the ethanol-induced abnormal elevation of serum AST and ALT levels in ALD mice (P &lt; 0.001 for both). BL21 treatment significantly attenuated alcohol-induced hepatic oxidative stress by decreasing malondialdehyde concentration and increasing superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione concentrations in the livers of ALD mice. In addition, the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and IL-6 were significantly lower (P &lt; 0.001 for both), while that of IL-10 was significantly higher (P &lt; 0.05), in the BL21 group than in the ALD group. Intestinal microbiota analysis showed an increased relative abundance of Escherichia/Shigella, Enterococcus, and Alistipes in the ALD group compared with the CTL group. BL21 intervention increased the relative abundance of Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia compared with the ALD group.

Conclusion
Dietary BL21 ameliorates ALD via enhancement of the hepatic antioxidant capacity and modulation of the gut microbiota and may therefore be a promising strategy to prevent or treat ALD.
Assessment of soil yeasts Papiliotrema laurentii S-08 and Saitozyma podzolica S-77 for plant growth promotion and biocontrol of Fusarium wilt of brinjal
Authors: Das Sukanya , Rabha Jintu , Narzary Diganta 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Aim
This study aimed to determine the efficacy of the soil yeasts Papiliotrema laurentii S-08 and Saitozyma podzolica S-77 for plant growth promotion (PGP) and biocontrol of wilt disease in brinjal plants while applying yeasts individually or as a consortium in pot experiments.

Methods and results
The yeasts were tested for various PGP characteristics and antagonistic activity against the phytopathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae. Both the yeast isolates demonstrated some PGP attributes as well as inhibited the growth of the phytopathogen. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the yeast metabolites revealed the presence of several antifungal compounds. The pot experiment performed under nursery conditions showed that applying these yeasts, individually or in consortium, decreased the percent disease incidence in brinjal seedlings while significantly enhancing their growth parameters.

Conclusion
Papiliotrema laurentii S-08 and S. podzolica S-77 can be used in brinjal plants as plant growth promoters and also as biocontrol agents against the brinjal wilt disease.

Abstract

Background
Electronic health record–linked portals may improve health-care quality for patients with cancer. Barriers to portal access and use undermine interventions that rely on portals to reduce cancer care disparities. This study examined portal access and persistence of portal use and associations with patient and structural factors before the implementation of 3 portal-based interventions within the Improving the Management of symPtoms during And following Cancer Treatment (IMPACT) Consortium.

Methods
Portal use data were extracted from electronic health records for the 12 months preceding intervention implementation. Sociodemographic factors, mode of accessing portals (web vs mobile), and number of clinical encounters before intervention implementation were also extracted. Rurality was derived using rural-urban commuting area codes. Broadband access was estimated using the 2015-2019 American Community Survey. Multiple logistic regression models tested the associations of these factors with portal access (ever accessed or never accessed) and persistence of portal use (accessed the portal ≤20 weeks vs ≥21 weeks in the 35-week study period).

Results
Of 28 942 eligible patients, 10 061 (35%) never accessed the portal. Male sex, membership in a racial and ethnic minority group, rural dwelling, not working, and limited broadband access were associated with lower odds of portal access. Younger age and more clinical encounters were associated with higher odds of portal access. Of those with portal access, 25% were persistent users. Using multiple modalities for portal access, being middle-aged, and having more clinical encounters were associated with persistent portal use.

Conclusion
Patient and structural factors affect portal access and use and may exacerbate disparities in electronic health record–based cancer symptom surveillance and management.
Sandwiched planet formation: restricting the mass of a middle planet
Authors: Pritchard Matthew , Meru Farzana , Rowther Sahl , Armstrong David , Randall Kaleb 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
We conduct gas and dust hydrodynamical simulations of protoplanetary discs with one and two embedded planets to determine the impact that a second planet located further out in the disc has on the potential for subsequent planet formation in the region locally exterior to the inner planet. We show how the presence of a second planet has a strong influence on the collection of solid material near the inner planet, particularly when the outer planet is massive enough to generate a maximum in the disc’s pressure profile. This effect in general acts to reduce the amount of material that can collect in a pressure bump generated by the inner planet. When viewing the inner pressure bump as a location for potential subsequent planet formation of a third planet, we therefore expect that the mass of such a planet will be smaller than it would be in the case without the outer planet, resulting in a small planet being sandwiched between its neighbours – this is in contrast to the expected trend of increasing planet mass with radial distance from the host star. We show that several planetary systems have been observed that do not show this trend but instead have a smaller planet sandwiched in between two more massive planets. We present the idea that such an architecture could be the result of the subsequent formation of a middle planet after its two neighbours formed at some earlier stage.
Tracking the evolution of satellite galaxies: mass stripping and dark-matter deficient galaxies
Authors: Montero-Dorta Antonio D , Rodriguez Facundo , Artale M Celeste , Smith Rory , Chaves-Montero Jonás 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
Satellite galaxies undergo a variety of physical processes when they are accreted by groups and clusters, often resulting in the loss of baryonic and dark matter (DM) mass. In this work, we evaluate the predictions from the IllustrisTNG hydrodynamical simulation regarding the evolution of the matter content of satellites, focusing on a population that are accreted at z &gt; 1 and retain their identity as satellites down to z = 0. At fixed host halo mass, the amount of DM and stellar mass stripped depends mostly on the pericentric distance, dperi, here normalized by host halo virial radius. The closest encounters result in significant loss of DM, with subhaloes retaining between 20 and a few per cent of their z = 1 mass. At fixed dperi, DM mass stripping seems more severe in lower mass haloes. Conversely, the average satellite in higher mass haloes has its stellar mass growth halted earlier, having lost a higher fraction of stellar mass by z = 0. We also show that mass stripping has a strong impact on the quenched fractions. The IllustrisTNG boxes are qualitatively consistent in these predictions, with quantitative differences mostly originating from the distinct subhalo mass ranges covered by the boxes. Finally, we have identified DM-deficient systems in all TNG boxes. These objects are preferentially found in massive clusters (Mhost ≳ 1013 M⊙), had very close encounters with their central galaxies ($d_{\rm peri}\simeq 0.05\, R_{\rm vir}$), and were accreted at high redshift (zinfall ≳ 1.4), reinforcing the notion that tidal stripping is responsible for their remarkable lack of DM.

Abstract
In the previous chapter the actions of local anaesthetic agents and vasoconstric tors were explained. In this chapter, the individual local anaesthetic agents used in dentistry will be described. It should be remembered that the injectable local anaesthetic solutions are administered as salts, usually the hydrochloride (see Chapter 2). The solutions are usually presented in local anaesthetic cartridges (Fig. 3.1) for dental use (see also Chapter 4).
Local anaesthesia in the mandible

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The mandibular buccal cortex in adults is thicker than that in the maxilla in most areas. This thick bone between the periosteum and the dental apices precludes the use of infiltration anaesthesia in most areas of the mandible in adults. There fore, operative pain control in the mandible relies mainly on regional block techniques. The one area where the buccal cortex is thin in the lower jaw in adults is the anterior region and infiltration techniques may be successful in this area. In children, infiltration anaesthesia in the mandible may provide satisfactory anaesthesia for the deciduous dentition.
Taking a palliative care history and handling difficult situations

Abstract
At the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, making an accurate assessment of our patients· needs, knowing the best management options, and involving patients and carers in decision making are the key tasks of being a good doc tor. The bedrock for our success in this process is our ability to communicate. Dealing with patients with life-threatening illnesses also raises the possibility of you having to handle difficult questions and situations (see box). Patients come to us seeking help; they have ‘Is it serious?’ ‘How long have I got?’ ‘Don’t tell him he’s dying, it’ll kill him’ ‘Why can’t he be cured?’ ‘Can you end it for me?’ questions that need answering. We have to answer them well.

Abstract
Palliative care in the UK, either in hospital or the community, is supported by an array of specialist services. The roles of specialist palliative care services are: to be a resource of specialist expertise, services, and equipment; to provide education; to train specialist practitioners; to undertake research. If you are in any doubt about any aspect of palliative care, use them. They are there to help you provide the best care for your patients. Get to know those that are local to you, how to make contact with them, and refer patients to them.

Abstract
It has been said of certain Ethiopian tribesmen that the only multiplicative operations they would allow were those of doubling and halving, and what is more they would have no truck with fractions of any kind. None the less, they had no trouble multiplying any two numbers together and so conducting basic commerce. For instance, if one bought 31 sheep from another at a cost of £25 each, here is how they would find the total cost.
Networks
Authors: Higgins Peter M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The ninth problem of Chapter 6 was one in which we showed that the network of the Konigsberg bridges could not be traversed once and only once because the underlying network had too many odd nodes, that is nodes that were connected to an odd number of edges. We shall now look at this type of problem in general. By a network we shall mean any collection of nodes (sometimes called vertices and at other times simply points) and edges running between the nodes. We allow for several edges running between the same pair of nodes (multi-edges),and loops, edges that begin and end at the same node, are not forbidden. Moreover, in general a network may not necessarily consist of a single connected piece but may have a number of components. The edges of the network may cross each other, and indeed if there are many edges that can sometimes be unavoidable. If, however, the network can be drawn without edges crossing, then it is called a planar net work. All these features can be seen in Figure 1.
Music in an Academic Context, I
Authors: Wollenberg Susan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The university musical scene in Oxford was enlivened during the eighteenth century by two notable visits: those of Handel in 1733, and Haydn in 1791. Both these occasions were much discussed at the time and have been copiously documented since. In both cases an honorary degree was involved: Handel, notoriously, refused the university’s offer (for reasons which have been the subject of speculation); Haydn gracefully accepted, becoming henceforth ‘Dr Haydn’. Famously, specific works by these composers were associated with their visits: Handel’s oratorio Athalia was premiered-very unusually for his oratorios, outside London-at the Sheldonian Theatre in 1733; Haydn’s ‘Oxford’ Symphony (No. 92 in G major) was performed there in 1791 and, later, his canon ‘Thy voice0 Harmony’ was sent to the university in recognition of the honour be­ stowed on him.
Music in the University and City, I
Authors: Wollenberg Susan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
By the late eighteenth century, the musical performances in Commemoration week represented a high point in Oxford’s cultural and ceremonial calendar, involving large numbers of musicians and drawing great crowds. Life in Oxford at other times of year was rich in occasions for music. There is evidence that local musicians were linked with the early development of the St Cecilia’s Day tradition in London in the late seventeenth century/ From 1693 these originally secular celebrations took in a religious element, with a choral service at St Bride’s Church in Fleet Street and a sermon preached ‘in defence of church music’. In what seems to have been an extension of the London celebrations, Sampson Estwick, a chaplain of Christ Church, gave a sermon of this kind for St Cecilia’s Day at a service in Christ Church on 27 November 1696 which was printed and dedicated to the stewards of the St Cecilia’s Feast in London. In 1707 St Cecilia’s Day was marked in Oxford by a performance of Purcell’s ‘Hail, bright Cecilia’ at St Mary’s Hall (now Oriel College).
The External Referent: History

Abstract
Yes, this is Vanity Fair; not a moral place certainly; nor a merry one, though very noisy.... But the general impression is one more melancholy than mirthful. When you come home, you sit down, in a sober, contemplative, not uncharitable frame of mind, and apply yourself to your books or your business. Henry Esmond might have been called Coming Home After the Fair: its world differs from that of the fair not in the degree to which its values are fatuous but in the degree to which its fatuousness is funny. The tonal distance separating the two novels reflects the difference in narrative perspective: the man describing the world of anity Fair is characteristically an anonymous spectator; the man describing the world of Henry Esmond is Henry Esmond. The vanity that often intoxicates and amuses the first instills in the second sobriety and sadness. Only one can afford the bravado of satiric insight; the other, as he himself confesses, is not given to huzzas.

Abstract
For children growing up in the ‘ 50s, television was a family member. The tiny screen buried in the big wooden box offered kinship with familiar figures who seemed as much a part of kids’ everyday lives as parents, siblings, and neighborhood playmates. Nightly viewing of Disney’s “The Mickey Mouse Club” was a ritual in American television households where children sang along with the club anthem and joined vicariously in the adventures of Karen and Cubby and Sharon and Dave. Other shows also reinforced this feeling of membership in an enduring group, such as “Andy’s Gang,” which weekly drew kids eager to hear .Andy Devine’s raspy and slightly raunchy command, “Pluck your magic twanger, Froggy!”

Abstract
Minneapolis was a hub for Midwestern interest in video, proving that video activism was not solely a bicoastal phenomenon. The people who flocked to video in the late ’60s in Minneapolis were more likely to be drawn by its utility as a social change agent than by its potential as a medium for artistic expression. This was due as much to a legacy of Midwestern populism and progressive values as it was to the zeitgeist. Thus the three young men who joined forces to create University Community Video were ’60s students already using video as a tool for community activism. In 1971, Stephen Kulczycki—a University of Minnesota journalism and television student influenced by the Challenge for Change ideal—went to work for the American Friends Service Committee using video as a vehicle for community organizing.
