Published: November 2023

<p>In this research, the manufacture of barium hexaferrite (BaFe<sub>12</sub>O<sub>19</sub>) magnetic ceramics and the addition of titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) additives with variations of 0%: 0.3%: 0.6% and 0.9% used the powder metallurgical method. The characterization used in this study is the measurement of density, porosity, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), and Impulse Magnetizer K-Series. Based on the results of density and porosity measurements, the highest values were 4.95 g/cm3 and 5.45%, respectively. XRD results showed the formation of a BaFe<sub>12</sub>O<sub>19</sub> phase with some impurities at 0% (Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>), 0.3% and 0.9% (Ti<sub>6</sub>O<sub>11</sub>), and 0.6% (Ti<sub>4</sub>O<sub>7</sub>). The SEM results showed that the morphology of TiO<sub>2</sub>-BaFe<sub>12</sub>O<sub>19</sub> was quite homogeneous, and the size and cavity ranged from 0.5 – 1.5 μm and 0.25 – 0.9 μm, respectively. VSM results show Mr, Ms, Hc, and Bhmax values of 1,489 kG, 3,235 kG, 1,758 kOe, and Bhmax of 0,867 MGOe, respectively. The results of the Impulse Magnetizer K-Series show the maximum and lowest magnetic flux values of 272.65 gauss and 218.10 gauss at 0.6% and 0% variation, respectively.</p>

Published: November 2023

Kasugamycin, spinosad, and lambda-cyhalothrin are common organic pesticides that are widely used to control and prevent diseases and pests in fruits and vegetables. However, the unreasonable use of pesticides will cause great harm to the natural environment and human health. Pesticides often exist in the form of mixtures in nature. Establishing recognition models for mixed pesticides in large-scale sample testing can provide guidance for further precise analysis and reduce resource waste and time. Therefore, finding a fast and effective identification method for mixed pesticides is of great significance. This paper applies three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy to detect mixed pesticides and introduces a convolutional neural network (CNN) model structure based on an improved LeNet-5 to classify mixed pesticides. The input part of the model corresponds to fluorescence spectrum data at excitation wavelengths of 250–306 nm and emission wavelengths of 300–450 nm, and the mixed pesticides are divided into three categories. The research results show that when the learning rate is set to 1 and the number of iterations is 300, the CNN classification model has ideal performance (with a recognition accuracy of 100%) and is superior to the performance of the support vector machine method. This paper provides a certain methodological basis for the rapid identification of mixed pesticides.
Contraction reserve in high resolution manometry is correlated with lower esophageal acid exposure time in patients with normal esophageal motility: A retrospective observational study
Authors: Lu Yaoyao , Lv Linling , Yang Jinlin , Yi Zhihui 
Published: November 2023

Background
In high resolution manometry (HRM), distal contractile integral post multiple rapid swallow augmentation is considered as contraction reserve. The relationship between contraction reserve and esophageal acid reflux remains unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between contraction reserve and esophageal acid exposure in ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) and normal HRM.

Methods
Patients who underwent HRM and ambulatory reflux monitoring were retrospectively screened. Those with diagnosis of normal HRM or IEM were included in the analysis. The proportion of patients with abnormal acid exposure time (AET) was compared between patients with and without contraction reserve. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to determine the predictors of abnormal AET and contraction reserve.

Results
A total of 338 patients, including 264 normal HRM and 74 IEM, were included in the analysis. In patients with normal HRM, proportion of abnormal total AET (AET > 6.0%) was significantly lower in patients with supine contraction reserve than patients without contraction reserve (13.85% vs. 24.63%, p = 0.027). Multivariate regression analysis showed that supine contraction reserve could independently predict abnormal total AET (OR = 0.468, 95% CI: 0.249–0.948, p = 0.034), while upright contraction reserve trended strongly (OR = 0.558, 95% CI: 0.290–1.071, p = 0.079). Subgroup analysis showed that upright contraction reserve was an independent predictor of abnormal total AET in patients with 50–70% infective swallows (OR = 0.205, 95% CI: 0.051–0.821, p = 0.025), whereas supine contraction reserve did not have predictive value (p = 0.359).

Conclusions
Supine contraction reserve correlates with esophageal acid reflux in patients with normal HRM, while only upright contraction reserve correlates with esophageal acid reflux in patients with infective swallows of 50–70%.
“Spectatissimo, Eruditione & Pietate, Insigno Viro”: Abraham Rogerius, the Open-Deure, and the Identity of A.W. JCtus
Authors: Schilt Cornelis J. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 1643, a manuscript was sent from Batavia to Amsterdam. It described in vivid detail a world virtually unknown to the West, that of South-Indian Hinduism, taken from the words of local Brahmins and drawn up by VOC minister Abraham Rogerius. It was not until 1651 that De Open-Deure tot het Verborgen Heydendom appeared from the presses of the Leiden printing house of François Hackius. By then, its author had died, and circumstances regarding the actual publication are shrouded in mystery. This is also true about the life of Abraham Rogerius and the identity of the Open-Deure’s anonymous editor, A.W. JCtus. Traditionally associated with the Polish Socinian theologian Andreas Wissowatius, A.W’s annotations added a wealth of scholarly detail to Rogerius plain narrative. In this paper, I greatly expand upon the existing biographies of Rogerius and draw lines between the various actors involved with the eventual publication of his writings. I provide a fresh insight into the editorial history and afterlife of the Open-Deure, showing that there are in fact two different editions that diverge at key points. Moreover, I demonstrate that the elusive A.W. JCtus is most certainly not Wissowatius, but instead the Leiden lawyer and politician Arnoldus Wittens.
The Arrow and the Ecstasy: The Rhetoric of Rapture in French Carmelite Poetry
Authors: Hanna Daniel J. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Recently discovered manuscript poems from the archives of French Carmelite convents show that seventeenth-, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Carmelite women recalled, celebrated, aspired to and – by their accounts – achieved religious rapture. The attainment of spiritual ecstasy and the expression of such extraordinary religious experience was not, however, a simple matter for women of this time period. In this study it will be shown that French Carmelite women used a “rhetoric of rapture” established by their spiritual mother, Teresa of Ávila, in order to lend legitimacy to their spiritual experiences and to safeguard those experiences from scrutiny.
Effect of Stress Ratio, Constraint, and Load History on the Intrinsic and Extrinsic Components of Threshold Stress Intensity
Authors: Sunder R. , Koraddi Ramesh , Chandra Vishwas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Threshold intensity range, ΔKth, was experimentally investigated as the sum of two components, both of which are sensitive to applied loading conditions. The intrinsic component, ΔKth,i, is characterized as a sole function of a near-tip stress parameter, σ*, in much the same way as fatigue limit depends on mean stress or stress ratio. The extrinsic component, ΔKcl, is the attenuated fraction of crack tip response because of crack wake contact, whose exact value is not readily measured at threshold. The ΔKth,i versus σ* relationship is established using a specially designed load shedding process under constant baseline maximum load, with σ* modulated through periodic overload-underload combinations whose periodicity is regulated to avoid undue crack extension at threshold. This relationship is then used to extract the ΔKcl component from ΔKth readouts obtained on the same batch of material using conventional load shedding procedure. The effect of constraint on ΔKth and its two components was studied using specimens with sharp side grooves to maximize constraint across the crack front. The study was performed on a medium strength low-alloy steel.
Capabilities, opportunities, motivations, and practices of different sector professionals working on community environments to improve health
Authors: Uche Uloma Igara , Stearns Jodie , Lee Karen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Objective
With rising healthcare costs in Canada from chronic conditions, individual behaviour change interventions in the clinical settings need to be complemented by a determinants of health approach, where multi-sector professionals assist in the creation of healthier community environments. This study sought to gain insights into capabilities, opportunities, motivations, and behaviours (COM-B) of Canadian multi-sector professionals for working together to improve built environments (BE) for health.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 61 multi-sector professionals. A 49-item questionnaire measuring constructs of COM-B for healthy BE practices was administered.

Results
Public health (PH) professionals were more motivated by personal interest/values in healthy BE and the presence of scientific evidence on BE design health impacts as compared with planning and policy/program development (PPD) professionals. Planning professionals were more likely to be motivated by healthy BE legislation/regulations/codes than PPD professionals. The practice of taking responsibility for the inclusion of healthy features into BE designs was reported more often by planning and other professionals compared to PH professionals. Results trended towards significance for opportunities as a predictor of healthy BE practices among all professionals.

Conclusion
Though motivators vary among different sector professionals, opportunities may be the most important driver of healthy BE practices and potentially a target to improve multi-sector professional practices in Canada. Future research should confirm findings of this first study of professional practice drivers guided by a theoretical behaviour change framework.

Published: November 2023

The article is an essay on the time of its author&#x27;s student life, which occurred in 1985–1992, the time of the breakdown of the Soviet system and a sharp change in the research and teaching paradigm in philosophy. From the ideological doctrine, philosophy turns into a broad outlook of worldviews, the “transcendental background of culture” (Yu.M. Lotman), the basis of humanitarian and general cultural knowledge. In the article, in a free author&#x27;s manner, recollections of the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University and the Institute of Philosophy of those years, about the journals “Beginnings” and “Logos”, about the communities that existed at that time are given. It is suggested that in the history of generations, the points of breaks and separations are very important.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Religious or traditional bands are often placed around limbs of children. This practice may lead to the Rubber Band Syndrome, a rare paediatric condition mainly described in Asia. This study presents the first case of Rubber Band Syndrome reported in South Africa. The patient aged 18 months presented with a swollen right hand, a circumferential scar on the wrist and a discharging sinus. Under general anaesthesia, debridement revealed a yellow rubber band deep to the wrist flexors and neurovascular bundles. This was removed without repair of these structures. At 3-month follow up, function of the right hand was completely restored.
Implication of Galectin-3 for Neuroinflammation in the Visual Pathway of the Experimental Optic Neuritis

Published: November 2023

Although multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that results in many neurological disabilities, optic neuritis (ON) is developed in some MS patients. However, the molecular mechanism of ON remains unknown. Galectins, β-galactoside-binding lectins, are involved in various pathophysiology. We have previously shown that galectin-3 (gal-3) is associated with the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), its animal model for human MS. In the current study, the expression of gal-3 was explored in the visual pathway of the EAE mice to clarify the pathogenesis of ON.
Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that expression of gal-3 was increased in the visual pathway of the EAE mice during the peak disease, compared with naïve and EAE mice during the chronic disease. Expression of gal-3 was observed in mainly microglia/macrophages and astrocytes in the visual pathway of the EAE mice. In addition, gal-3+Iba-1+ cells with the phagocytic activities reflected by immunostaining with cathepsin-D were accumulated at demyelinating lesions in the visual pathway during peak disease of EAE. Moreover, NLRP3 expression was also detected in most gal-3+Iba-1+ cells. These results indicate a considerable possibility that gal-3 regulates the NLRP3 signaling in microglia/macrophages, followed by neuroinflammatory demyelination in ON. By contrast, astrocytic expression of gal-3 was also observed from the peak to the chronic disease. Taken together, the current study suggests a critical role of gal-3 in the pathogenesis of ON and proposes gal-3 in glial cells as a potential therapeutic target for ON.

Abstract
Background: Keeping the umbilical cord intact the first minutes after delivery is beneficial for both term and preterm infants. However, this may be challenging in caesarean sections (CS) due to lack of mobile resuscitation equipment, maintenance of sterility or concern for excessive maternal blood loss. The objective of this study was to develop and pilot-test extra-uterine placental transfusion and intact-cord stabilisation of infants in CS.
Methods: The intervention development process (phase 1) covered: A) placenta delivery without cord clamping, B) intact-cord stabilisation of the infant and C) physiology-based cord clamping. Different scenarios were tested through in-situ simulation and adjusted through multiple feedback rounds. The involved staff were trained prior to pilot-testing (phase 2). Women having a CS in regional anaesthesia, expecting a term or near-term singleton infant were included in the pilot-study after written consent. Primary outcome was the proportion of successfully completed interventions. For assessment of safety, maternal estimated intraoperative blood loss, infant 5-minute Apgar scores and infant rectal temperature during stabilisation were compared to pre-defined accept criteria. Dry-electrode ECG (NeoBeat™) was used for early detection of infant heartrate. Any respiratory support was registered. Early skin-to-skin contact between mother and infant was attempted for vigorous infants.
Results: A detailed intervention protocol was developed and tested. Twenty-nine mother-infant-dyads were included in the pilot study. Gestational age ranged from 37 to 42 weeks. The intervention was successfully completed in 90 % of the cases, of which 31 % were planned CS. Median (SD) infant heart rates at one and five minutes were 159 (32) and 168 (21) beats per minute respectively. Eight infants (28%) had intact-cord respiratory support. One infant (3.5%) had a 5-minute Apgar score < 7 and three infants (10%) had rectal temperatures below 36.5°C during the first 10-15 minutes after birth. Three mothers (10%) had estimated intraoperative blood loss > 1000 ml
Conclusion: Extra-uterine placental transfusion to facilitate intact-cord stabilisation and physiology-based cord clamping for infants delivered by CS was feasible and safe according to predefined accept criteria. Further testing of this complex intervention in larger, comparative studies is warranted.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The utilization of medicinal plants for unconventional health therapy is increasingly gaining significant recognition and popularity on a global scale. Screening of phytochemicals plays a major role in discovering many bioactive compounds significant to human health. Many parameters and conditions such as physiological conditions, soil condition and the type of extracts correspond to significant changes in phytochemical compositions. Thereby, the current study aim to assess phytochemical, and trace element contents in eight traditionally-used medicinal plants from Benreu village, Nagaland along with the corresponding soil profile. The studied plants also exhibited variations in the levels of trace element content, viz. Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu. Variable soil nutrient levels were also observed in soil samples for N, P and K. High values of flavonoids and phenols were observed, especially in Ageratina adenophora (820.39 ± 0.97 mg QE/100 g dw) and Erigeron karvinskianus (115.75 ± 0.36 mg GAE/100 g dw), respectively. This study, through qualitative screening and quantitative evaluations, provides essential baseline data on the phytochemical contents and essential elements present in commonly-used medicinal plants along with soil profile for the traditional treatment of various ailments.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), known as a degenerative disease which characterized by the chronic inflammation of the joint. Unfortunately, due to the limited understanding of its pathological mechanism, there are no effective drugs or treatments to suspend the progression of OA. Interestingly, LIPUS had been reported to have a positive effect on many diseases including OA, but the exact mechanism of how LIPUS plays a role in OA remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that P62 and YAP were increased in the cartilage of OA models. Notably, knocking down the level of YAP could obviously decrease the inflammation level and alleviate the cartilage degeneration. Recent research indicated that YAP influenced the progression of OA through inhibiting the NF-κB pathway. Here, we confirmed for the first time that YAP could interact with RIPK1 to activate downstream NF-κB signaling pathways. More importantly, we found that LIPUS could restore the impaired capacity of autophagy, decrease the level of YAP and lessen the binding between YAP and RIPK1, thus delay the progression of OA. Our study revealed the specific mechanism of how LIPUS delayed the development of OA, providing a novel therapeutic regimen for OA.
