Symbiodiniaceae Cell Cloning from Corals: High Salinity Activates Endogenous Tolerance against the Bleaching Stress
Authors: Chen Ching-Nen Nathan , Yong Tze Ching , Wang Jih-Terng 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Coral bleaching is caused by the exocytosis of endosymbiotic dinoflagellates due to overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the symbionts when corals are under high temperature and high light stress. Strategies to reduce ROS production and enhance ROS scavenging efficiency in coral symbionts are crucial for preventing the collapse of coral reef ecosystems. However, cell physiology studies of coral symbionts have been hampered by the difficulty of cloning the symbionts. A simple procedure was developed for cloning coral symbionts in this work. Experiments performed with two species of symbionts isolated from Turbinaria sp. revealed that the damages caused by high light at 340 umol photon/m2/s1 was more severe than those caused by high temperature at 36 °C, and high salinity activated endogenous tolerance against the bleaching stress. Pretreatment at 50 ppt salinity reduced the percentage of cells stained for ROS by 59% and 64% in the two species exposed to the bleaching stress compared with those incubated at 30 ppt, and their Fv’/Fm’ recoveries were also improved significantly. These findings suggest that the genomes of coral symbionts have undergone evolutionary processes to develop mechanisms for ameliorating damages caused by high salinity, temperature, and light stress.

AbstractObjective The study was aimed to explore the impact of intrapartum group B streptococcus prophylaxis on allergic rhinitis in children at the age of 3 and provide potential theory evidence to formulate GBS intervention strategies in line with China's national conditions. Methods A population-based retrospective cohort study was used to select 3010 pairs of pregnant women hospitalized in Taixing People's Hospital from June 2018 to December 2019. Hospital information system and face-to-face questionnaires were employed to gather information about allergic rhinitis and related covariates. 1:1 propensity score matching method with a caliper value of 0.02 was used. The comparison of baseline information was conducted using chi-square test for enumeration data, and analysis of variance for measurement data before and after 1:1 propensity score matching, while the modified Poisson regression models were utilized to explore the effect of IAP on AR in children. Results A total of 3010 mother-child pairs were included in the final sample and 381 pairs were obtained in each group with after 1:1 propensity score matching. Among 3010 mother-child pairs, the incidence of allergic rhinitis was higher in the IAP group compared to the non IAP group (9.3% vs 6.1%), with the difference being statistically significant (P = 0.017). After 1:1 propensity score matching, 36 children in the IAP group and 25 children in the non IAP group had AR, and no statistically significant difference was found (9.4% vs 6.6%, P = 0.142). Modified Poisson regression models revealed that children in the IAP group had higher RA risk than children in the non-IAP group (RR: 1.807,95% CI: 1.184–2.757, P = 0.006) before 1:1 propensity score matching. After 1:1 propensity score matching, such significant higher RA risk in children in the IAP group also existed (RR: 1.948,95% CI: 1.158–3.277, P = 0.012). Subgroup analyses revealed that children delivered vaginally (RR: 2.365, 95%CI: 1.327–4.217, P = 0.004), male children (RR: 2.211, 95%CI: 1.036–4.716, P = 0.040) and non-breastfeeding children (RR: 3.585, 95%CI: 1.197–10.742, P = 0.023) in the IAP group had higher RA incidence than that in the non IAP group. Conclusion Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis of group B streptococcus increases the cumulative incidence and risk of AR in children at the age of 3 especially children delivered vaginally, male children and non-breastfeeding children, and further studies are urgently required to explore the effect in more specific populations.
What is Human About Writing?: Writing Process Theory and ChatGPT
Authors: Campbell Sarah Hahn 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Modeling the writing process of brainstorming, outlining, drafting, conferencing, and revising has been accepted as best practice in both K-12 and undergraduate writing instruction for decades. The evolution of technological tools for writing, from typewriters to word processors, from search engines like Google to AI generators like ChatGPT, has complemented and sometimes challenged that pedagogical approach. In this paper, I argue that while the release of ChatGPT to the public in November 2022 has caused anxiety and fear in the education world, it is simply a new technological innovation educators can teach students to utilize as a tool in the writing process. Through discussion of ways in which high school students are currently using ChatGPT to cheat in English class, I argue that fears of cheating actually highlight a larger problem with academic dishonesty, and that writing teachers also see positive possibilities in the innovation. If we can manage the cheating issue, ChatGPT can merely be a new tool for student writers to use as they learn to engage with words as humans: creatively, critically, and contextually.

Abstract
Piper nigrum, black pepper, has been widely used in traditional medicine to treat fevers and digestive system disease and is also applied to treat cancer in China. This study evaluated the breast cancer-preventive effect of a low piperine Piper nigrum extract (PFPE or LP-PE). Our findings showed that the incidence of tumors was 70% in the control group, 50% in the vehicle group, and 20% in the rats treated with PFPE at 50 and 100 mg/kg BW. Remarkably, no cancerous rats were found in the PFPE-treated at 150 mg/kg BW for approximately three months, with no significant changes in blood parameters, except for alkaline phosphatase (ALP). PFPE at 100 and 150 mg/kg BW suppressed cytokines/chemokines and increased ROS production compared to control and vehicle groups. PFPE stimulated IFN- γ promoted Th1 cells and inhibited Th2 and Treg compared to control and vehicle groups. In tumor-bearing rats, PFPE inhibited cancer progression by decreasing ER-α and NF-κB in the tumor tissue compared to control and vehicle groups. Our findings suggested PFPE has the potential to reduce tumor incidence and retardation of tumor growth by modulating Th1/Th2/Treg, ROS, cytokines/chemokines production and decreasing cancer-progression-related proteins in tumor rats.

Authors: Hamdan Allam Mohamed Mousa , awwad bahaa suphi 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The GCC countries, including Saudi Arabia, have faced significant challenges due to the significant drop in oil prices since 2014, and one important challenge is to limit the financing of their development model based on the exploitation of oil surpluses to achieve comprehensive social and economic development. Another challenge is how to get out of this impasse, and what are the solutions and policies that get the GCC countries out of the curse of natural resources to economic diversification in order to build a more sustainable economy that provides a stable life for the current generation without compromising the capabilities of future generations. This is what this study tried to answer, as it aimed to provide a development model in Saudi Arabia that contributes to getting out of the current oil crisis, and far from researching the causes of the sharp decline in oil prices, which are mostly subject to economic and geopolitical factors that are difficult to control, the current study provides a model that depends on exploiting Saudi Arabia's capabilities through four basic pillars: The trend towards economic diversification, entrepreneurship, and women's economic empowerment are all these changes in light of public sector reform and governance. The proposed study model was theoretically tested through a comprehensive review of the relevant economic and social literature, and then the study applied this model in Saudi Arabia, using a time series that extends since (2001–2020) and constitutes a total of (20) years. Based on econometric methods in collecting and analyzing data and ensuring its validity, and building representative models of the relationship between the study model with its four pillars and economic growth: The study found a number of results indicating a positive impact of economic diversification, entrepreneurship, and public corporate governance on the economic growth of Saudi Arabia, with mixed results on the impact of women's empowerment on economic growth, and based on those results, a set of recommendations were built related to getting out of the oil crisis, encouraging economic diversification and entrepreneurship, and women's economic empowerment.

Published: August 2023

Abstract

The adverse effects of acrylamide (AA) on humans are being clear, especially after a series of related investigations reported the dependance of consuming foods that prepared by exposing to high temperature for a long-time and cancer risk. Accurate determination of AA in food samples at trace amount is considered the first step to overcome this significant problem. The determination of AA using coal tar pitch modified pencil graphite (PGE/CTP) electrode was reported. The electrochemical behavior of AA was studied on PGE/CTP electrode in different medium acidities (pH) of phosphate and Briton-Robinson (BR) buffer solutions by employing square wave voltammetry (SWV). Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) technique was applied to determine the mass transfer mode of AA from bulk solution to the PGE/CTP electrode surface. The optimum conditions were using phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 7.0. The linear relationship among peak current and AA concentration was in the range 1000.0 nM to 0.5 nM. The limit of detection for detection of AA was 0.2094 nM and the limit of quantitation for quantification was 0.6912 nM. In addition, the PGE/CTP electrode as the sensor was successfully used for the determination of AA in instant coffee sample.

Abstract
Boroxines are significant structures in the synthesis and construction of biological-active compounds, covalent organic frameworks, anion receptors, self-healing materials, and others. However, their utilization in aqueous media is a formidable task due to hydrolytic instability. Here we report a water-stable boroxine structure discovered from 2‑hydroxyphenylboronic acid (HO‑PBA). We find that HO‑PBA exists as a dimer with dynamic covalent bonds (DCBs) and aggregation-induced enhanced emission activity, instead of a monomer. Intriguingly, upon exposure to water, HO‑PBA dimer rapidly transforms into a boroxine structure with excellent pH stability and water-compatible DCBs. Building upon these discoveries, we report the ultra-strong binding capacity of boroxines toward fluoride ions in aqueous media, and develop a boroxine-based hydrogel with high acid–base stability and reversible gel–sol transition. This discovery of the water-stable boroxine structure breaks the constraint of boroxines not being applicable in aqueous environments, opening a new era of researches in boroxine chemistry.
Cateforizing and quantifying doctors' extented responses and communication strategies in medical teleconsultations
Authors: Li Huaikui Kevin 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This study analyzes 210 clinical teleconsultations using corpus software to categorize and quantify doctors’ extended responses and communication strategies. The results indicate that doctors’ extended responses can be divided into nine categories, with the highest frequency being treatment proposals (including justifications and difficulties in diagnosis) at 42.7%, followed by disease diagnoses (including disease causes and diagnosis difficulties) at 22.0%. The remaining categories have significantly lower frequencies, with the two categories, the introduction of organ or tissue functions and features, and alternative treatment proposals (involving justifications) having the lowest frequency at approximately 2% each. Brown & Levinson’s communication strategy framework is applied to categorize the strategies used in the responses. Four strategies are identified: baldly on-record strategy (BORS), positive politeness strategy (PPS), negative politeness strategy (NPS), and off-record strategy (ORS), each having multiple categories. Specifically, PPS and NPS respectively have five and seven, and BORS and ORS each have three. NPS is the most frequently used, accounting for 89% of all the cases. The category of providing justifications or explanations for a diagnosis has the highest percentage (41.9%), followed by making vague diagnoses and minimizing impositions (22.7% and 16.8% respectively). The remaining categories each have percentages less than 5%. The categories of apologizing and stating a diagnosis as a general clinical practice are the least used (0.9% each). PPS accounts for 9.1% of all the instances, with the category of making a consolation, wish or encouragement, or optimism being the most dominant (5.6%). Each of the remaining categories accounts for no more than 2%. The category of asking for a reason is the least used (0.1%). The overall frequency of BOR and ORS is less than 2%, with each of their categories accounting for less than 1%.
The impact of maternity service restrictions related to Covid-19 on women’s experiences of giving birth in England: A qualitative study
Authors: Irvine Lucy C , Chisnall Georgia 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
The Covid-19 pandemic led to significant changes in maternity service delivery in England, including: antenatal appointments being cancelled or held by phone; women having to attend antenatal scans alone; partners not being allowed to accompany women during labour; visitor restrictions on postnatal wards; and limited postnatal support.
Methods
We conducted semi-structured interviews with 46 women aged 18–45 who had low-risk pregnancies and gave birth to their babies using NHS services in England between 1st March 2020 and 1st March 2021.
Results
Our thematic analysis of interview data generated key themes: profound negative impacts of birth partners not being allowed to accompany women (including on emotional wellbeing, birth preferences and care-seeking choices); deep frustration about policy variation between trusts and inconsistent implementation of guidance; women being more concerned about the risk of giving birth alone than of Covid-19 infection; and women turning towards private care or delaying seeking NHS care so that they could have the birth experience they desired. The latter two results are, to the best of our knowledge, unique to this paper.
Conclusion
Women reported significant negative affects to their emotional and physical wellbeing because of service restrictions. Efforts are required by policymakers and health service providers going forward to re-establish trust in NHS maternity care and ensure capacity to provide for potential shifts in birthplace preferences. Health systems strengthening efforts should prioritise protecting the rights of women to access high quality, person-centred care in the event of future health emergencies that strain NHS capacity.
Optimized Routing Protocol Using Metaheuristic Techniques for Improving Energy Efficiency in WSN
Authors: Shalika Shalika , Meena Uma , Agarwal Ajay 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
A Wireless Sensor Network is a group of small, autonomous sensor nodes which are connected wirelessly and have sensing, processing, and communication capabilities. These nodes are responsible for gathering and monitoring physical information from the surrounding environment. Since these nodes are typically compact and operate with a battery, they have a limited power supply which leads to a constrained network lifetime. Therefore, the use of energy effective techniques that lengthen the network’s lifespan is highly significant. Hence, the objective of this research work is to reduce energy usage and increase the network’s lifespan. Clustering and optimization techniques are commonly used in sensor network to enhance its stability and lifespan. In a clustered sensor network, cluster heads play a crucial role, as they are responsible for performing various tasks that consume more energy. This research work aims to enhance the effectiveness of the network by proposing a hybrid nature-inspired optimization algorithm named as Energy Efficient Yellow Saddle Goatfish Pelican Optimization algorithm (EEYSGPO) which uses Yellow Saddle Goatfish Algorithm to identify the optimum cluster head from a set of nodes. The parameters like residual energy, distance, delay, load, and communication quality are all used to select the optimized cluster head in the clusters. After choosing the optimized cluster head, pelican optimization technique is used to determine the best route for communication between cluster head and the base station, which is calculated on the basis of distance and residual energy. The MATLAB simulator is used for simulation and the obtained results of suggested technique were compared with several existing energy-efficient techniques such as EECHIGWO, SSMOECHS, FGWSTERP and LEACH-PRO using performance measures such as throughput, dead nodes and energy consumption. Simulation findings reveal that the optimal selection of cluster heads and routes in EEYSPO algorithm resolved the issues related to premature convergence and increase the lifetime and scalability of WSN. When compared to the EECHIGWO, SSMOECHS, LEACH-PRO and FGWSTERP protocols, the proposed methodology improves network stability by 57.28 %, 324.5 %, 571.72 % and 91.37 % respectively.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
This paper analyzes the impact of co-channel interference on deviceto-device communication using the energy harvesting (EH) and decode-andforward (DF) technique at multiple relay nodes. The paper presents closedform expressions for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the signalto-noise ratio plus co-channel noise (SINR), as well as expressions for the outage probability (OP), throughput, and available rate (AR) of the network. Furthermore, an asymptotic expression is derived to assess the probability densityfunction (PDF) of the instantaneous SINR, offering a simple and generalizedapproach to understanding its characteristics in relation to OP, throughput,and AR. The analysis results are verified through Monte-Carlo simulationsand implemented using Matlab.

Abstract
A novel mitovirus was detected in taro (Colocasia esculenta) growing in Ningbo, China. The complete sequence of Colocasia esculenta associated mitovirus 1 (CeaMV1) was determined by next-generation sequencing combined with RT-PCR and RACE. The genome is 2921 nucleotides long and contains a single ORF encoding a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Homology searches and phylogenetic analysis suggested that CeaMV1 is a member of a new species in the genus Duamitovirus. This is the first report of a member of the family Mitoviridaeassociated with taro.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Objectives
To clarify the associations between screen time and depression symptoms among Chinese adolescents, as well the mediating roles of self-esteem and resilience.
Methods
A total of 1,624 primary and middle school students aged 9 to 16 years-old from five schools in China were recruited by stratified cluster sampling. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale Revised (CESD-R), Self-Esteem scale (SES), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Screen time questionnaire were applied. The data was analyzed by SPSS 26.0 and Amos 26.0.
Results
Screen time was positively associated with depression symptoms (p < 0.001). Self-esteem partially mediated this association (p < 0.05) with a mediation rate of 33.63%, and resilience (p < 0.05) mediated this association with a mediation rate of 6.46%. Self-esteem and resilience formed a mediating chain between screen time and adolescents depression symptoms (p < 0.05) with a mediation rate of 3.15%.
Conclusions
Longer screen time was significantly associated with increased risk of depression symptoms among Chinese adolescents, and self-esteem and resilience partially mediated this association. This evidence provides potential targets for preventive interventions against adolescent depression.
Shake table test of a scaled DiaGrid building model: A Simplistic approach
Authors: Naik Swaral Ravin 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This study presents a simplistic approach towards shake table experiment on a scaled DiaGrid building model. The DiaGrid mechanism consists of inclined columns in contrast to vertical columns in conventional structural mechanisms. The inclined columns convert all the external actions into axial actions (i.e. axial compression-tension), which makes the mechanism more stiff in resisting lateral forces, mainly high wind gusts and severe earthquake excitations. This study is focused to discuss a simplistic approach for constructing a scaled DiaGrid building model as well for performing a shake table test with few past severe earthquake time histories. The laws of similitudes and the availability of testing resources are the key factors limiting the model's scaling. A Finite element software SAP2000 is used to validate the physical test results. Sticking to the simplistic approach, major parameter targeted for verifying results is ‘lateral displacement’. Displacement values for all the considered earthquakes arrive close to the values obtained in FE analysis. The behavior of an actual DiaGrid structure under future earthquakes can be predicted by performing the simplistic shake table test on a small scale structure subject to probable, non-predictable, or even non-realistic ground shakings that might occur during the life span of the building.
