Background
This study aims to investigate body fluids and muscle changes evoked by different trail races using anthropometric, bioelectrical, and creatine kinase (CK) measurements.

Methods
A total of 92 subjects (55 men, 37 women) participating in three different races of 14, 35, and 52 km were evaluated before (PRE) and after (POST) the races. Classic bioelectrical impedance vector analysis was applied at the whole-body level (WB-BIVA). Additionally, muscle-localized bioelectrical assessments (ML-BIVA) were performed in a subgroup of 11 men (in the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves). PRE-POST differences and correlations between bioelectrical values and CK, running time and race distance were tested.

Results
Changes in whole-body vectors and phase angles disclosed an inclination towards dehydration among men in the 14, 35, and 52 km groups (p < 0.001), as well as among women in the 35 and 52 km groups (p < 0.001). PRE Z/H was negatively correlated with running time in the 35 km men group and 14 km women group (r = −0.377, p = 0.048; r = −0.751, p = 0.001; respectively). POST Z/H was negatively correlated with running time in the 14 km women group (r = −0.593, p = 0.02). CK was positively correlated with distance in men and women (p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with reactance and vector length in the 14 km men group (p < 0.05). ML-BIVA echoed the same tendency as the WB-BIVA in the 35 and 52 km runners, with the most notable changes occurring in the calves (p < 0.001).

Conclusions
WB-BIVA and CK measurements underscored a conspicuous trend towards post-race dehydration and muscle damage, displaying a weak association with performance. Notably, ML-BIVA detected substantial alterations primarily in the calves. The study underscores the utility of BIVA as a technique to assess athlete’s body composition changes.
Electric organ discharge from electric eel facilitates DNA transformation into teleost larvae in laboratory conditions

Published: December 2023

Background
Electric eels (Electrophorus sp.) are known for their ability to produce electric organ discharge (EOD) reaching voltages of up to 860 V. Given that gene transfer via intense electrical pulses is a well-established technique in genetic engineering, we hypothesized that electric eels could potentially function as a gene transfer mechanism in their aquatic environment.

Methods
To investigate this hypothesis, we immersed zebrafish larvae in water containing DNA encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and exposed them to electric eel’s EOD.

Results and Discussion
Some embryos exhibited a mosaic expression of green fluorescence, in contrast to the control group without electrical stimulation, which showed little distinct fluorescence. This suggests that electric eel EOD has the potential to function as an electroporator for the transfer of DNA into eukaryotic cells. While electric eel EOD is primarily associated with behaviors related to sensing, predation, and defense, it may incidentally serve as a possible mechanism for gene transfer in natural environment. This investigation represents the initial exploration of the uncharted impact of electric eel EOD, but it does not directly establish its significance within the natural environment. Further research is required to understand the ecological implications of this phenomenon.

Published: December 2023

Lipid accumulation product is a novel biomarker of central lipid accumulation related to the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In certain metabolic diseases, insulin resistance is often present which could be attributed to an abnormality in the insulin-specific receptors in various tissues, obesity, or visceral adiposity. This study aimed at determining the triglyceride–glucose index and lipid accumulation product index of apparently healthy individuals in Port Harcourt. A total of 150 healthy individuals were assessed for anthropometric and biochemical measurement, lipid accumulation production (LAP), and triglyceride --glucose index TyG. Comparison of mean values of biophysical variables body mass index (BMI), lipid accumulation product indices, cardiovascular, triglyceride–glucose index, insulin, C-peptide, glycated haemoglobin (HbAIC), Fasting blood sugar (FBS), and Body Mass Index (BMI) of male and female subjects were measured using standard procedures. A detailed comparison of mean values of biophysical variables of male and female subjects shows that the mean age for the male subjects (41.55±6.99 years) was significantly higher (p=0.0159) when compared to the mean age for female subjects (39.04±5.6 years. There was no significant difference in the mean weight, height, BMI, waist circumference, SBP, DBP, T. Chol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, C-peptide level, HbAIc, FBS level, T. CHOL/HDL ratio, T. CHOL/LDL ratio, and TyG index between the male and female subjects. However, there was a significantly higher level of insulin for male than female subjects and higher LAP for female than male subjects. Also, there was a higher HOMA-R for male subjects than female subjects. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between BMI and the following; mean age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), waist circumference (WC), and insulin levels. The Receiver's Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve for the LAP test had a high AUC value of 0.9970. Similarly, the ROC curve analysis of the TyG test had a high AUC of 0.8344. However, these findings emphasize the LAP test has a stronger discriminatory ability than TyG. Healthy individuals may have the cardiovascular risk of being evaluated by LAP, which is very cost-effective.

Published: December 2023

The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is widely used to control industrial systems due to its ease of implementation, flexibility and well-known theory. The Ziegler-Nichols method is the primary method of adjusting this gains controller. Unfortunately, this method generates limited performances, especially on nonlinear systems. This paper shows the optimization of the gains of the PID controller from the values of the gains obtained by the ZN method. To do this, the Matlab Response Optimization tool is used to control the angular position of an electrohydraulic servo system. The initial conditions of this optimization process are the gain values adjusted by the ZN method. The numerical results obtained after a few iterations show a reduction of approximately in the tracking error for a sinusoidal input. Unfortunately, the performance improvement is not achieved for the step signal input because only the sine wave was used as the signal reference requirement for the optimization procedure.

Abstract

Population abundance estimation is a critical yet challenging task for wildlife management decision‐making. For aerial surveys of terrestrial mammals in highly heterogenous landscapes, estimation models that address multiple sources of detection bias are needed. A typical hybrid mark–resight model includes an additive parameter that accounts for detection probabilities derived from marked animals. While this additive hybrid method improves abundance estimates, there remains a need to account for heterogeneity due to the conditional dependence in detection probability inherent in aerial surveys with multiple observers.

We propose a modified approach, referred to as a conditional hybrid model, to address this heterogeneity directly. The conditional hybrid model applies a mark–resight approach typically used to account for tag loss in mark–recapture studies to aerial surveys with a subset of the population marked with GPS collars. We conduct a structured comparison between the additive and conditional hybrid estimation models and fit these two hybrid models to data from a 2020 aerial survey of mule deer in southern California.

Both the additive and conditional hybrid models had general agreement in overall model structure and variable importance, however, the conditional model outperformed the additive model in capturing sources of detection heterogeneity and overall abundance estimates differed by 9%. Our top‐ranked models suggest that deer movement, larger group sizes, and rougher topography increased detection probability, whereas high cloud cover, obscuring vegetation and high observer fatigue and helicopter height decreased detection probability.

Our findings illustrate the need to assess multiple correction methods when estimating abundance from aerial survey data to ensure accurate abundance estimates are being used to inform wildlife management strategies, with the caveat that specific survey conditions may dictate which method is the most appropriate for achieving robust estimates.

These approaches represent the cutting‐edge science on wildlife abundance estimation from aerial survey data, a critical ingredient for effective wildlife management. By testing innovative hybrid methods, we present the first formal comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of each method within a highly heterogeneous landscape, providing practitioners with necessary information for future application.

Published: December 2023

AbstractIntimate partner violence (IPV) against Nigerian nurses in the US is a complex issue intersecting gender, occupation, culture, economics, and migration. This study adopts an intersectional feminist and adult learning framework to explore the causes and potential solutions. Drawing on a thematic analysis of ten media reports and commentaries on various reported cases of IPV against Nigerian nurses, key themes that emerged include: gender‐based power dynamics, cultural expectations, clashes between patriarchal societies and gender equality, open communication, psychological factors, perceived “anti‐male” legal system, and immigrant struggles. Adult learning and education (ALE) interventions, employing transformative and experiential learning, can empower Nigerian nurses and the Nigerian immigrant community in general to challenge traditional norms, address power imbalances, and foster equality in relationships. The study calls for targeted and culturally sensitive support services to create safer environments for Nigerian nurses and families in the US. Further research is recommended to assess the long‐term impact and representativeness of the findings.

Published: December 2023

ObjectiveTo assess tofacitinib and self‐injectable tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) adherence using the Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) and characterize association with adherence in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsEligible patients were enrolled from the Forward Databank within 6 months of initiating tofacitinib or injectable TNFi or from participating clinics where these were first prescribed. MEMS caps and patient diaries were used to compile dosing over 9 months. Demographics and disease characteristics were collected every 6 months, and the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire only at baseline. Adherence along with its components, initiation, implementation, and persistence, were calculated.ResultsOf the 112 consented to participate, 82 (73%) remained in the final analysis with recruitment from clinics 47 (57%) and Forward 35 (43%). Sixty‐two (76%) initiated tofacitinib with 87% taking it quaque die and twenty (24%) TNFi. At 9 months, 77% of tofacitinib were persistent versus 70% for TNFi (P = 0.65), and implementation was similar (0.84 vs. 0.82; P = 0.57). In multivariable models, increased baseline patient global assessment was consistently associated with discontinuation (hazard ratio 1.31 [1.07‐1.61]). There was increased adherence to methotrexate (MTX) when taking tofacitinib that led to higher combined adherence for tofacitinib than TNFi (0.81 vs. 0.69; P = 0.03), but no significant differences remained in multivariable models. In sensitivity analysis, consistent morning intake for tofacitinib and evening intake for MTX was associated with improved adherence.ConclusionWe found no statistical differences in adherence between patients with RA initiating tofacitinib and self‐injectable TNFi, although 15% to 30% were nonadherent. Concomitant MTX, patient global assessment, and a consistent time of day intake were associated with adherence.

AbstractRecent observations of nontrivial spin textures and topological Hall effect (THE) in 2D van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets have stimulated high interest in both fundamental physics and prospective spintronic applications. However, effectively manipulating spin textures and their exhibiting THE, which is the prerequisite for topology‐based 2D vdW devices, remains challenging. Here, the effective manipulation of the magnetic bubbles and THE is achieved in Fe5GeTe2 (FGT) crystals by utilizing Lorentz imaging and electrical transport measurements. The density and size of magnetic bubbles can be modulated effectively as the temperature and lamella thickness change, indicating the role of magnetocrystalline anisotropy and long‐range magnetic dipolar interaction is demonstrated, respectively. More importantly, the spin configurations of bubbles along with THE signal vary with sample thickness, demonstrating a topological transition between skyrmion bubbles and trivial bubbles. The key point lies in the presence or absence of Bloch lines in the stripe domain at different thicknesses. This study presents the reliable manipulations of spin textures and THE in FGT, which may provide valuable insights into the design of 2D vdW devices in spintronics.
