Body composition of female office workers compared with infrared reflection measurement, bioimpedance analysis and calipermetry
Authors: Raschka Christoph , Kwon O-Sung , Koch Horst J. 
Published: April 2023

There are currently many different anthropometric methods for determining the individual body fat percentage, as well as almost as many variants of bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) and only a single method of infrared reflection measurement (IR) as easily available methods of field research.
The present study aims at a simultaneous comparison between calipermetry, IR and BIA. In particular, the question which measurement method could be used as an equivalent method in the event of failure of BIA or IR is investigated.
The sample group consisted of 121 female office workers (average age 32.5 ± 9.4 years, average height 164.5 ± 6.3 cm and average weight 60.3 ± 6.8 kg), from the Rhine-Main area.
The measurements were previously scheduled and mostly carried out during the lunch break. For anthropometry, 13 skin fat folds were measured with the Accu® Measure Caliper, thigh circumference with a measuring tape, the height with a height measuring device and the body mass on the weight scale. Subsequently, an IR measurement (Futrex®) and a BIA (InBody®) were performed on the same subjects.
The parameters of body fat percentage and total body water (in L) were examined.
Statistical methods were correlation coefficients, Bland-Altman comparison and paired t-test for equivalence.
For the women studied, the highest correlation coefficients were in the comparisons between the formulas according to Parízková and Brožek et al. (r = 0.82), as well as for Parízková and Siri (r = 0.82).
The correlation coefficient for the IR vs. BIA comparison was r = 0.92.
A key result of the present study was the finding that the investigated methods in a female study group could not be substituted in an equivalent way.

Background: Hypertension is one of the major concerning health issues worldwide. Lately, adolescent hypertension has been on the rise with change in the diet and lifestyle as one of the probable contributing factors.
Aim of the study: To study the association of food habits with different parameters of hypertension among the adolescents of Manipur.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 728 adolescents of the age range 17–19 years comprising of 470 males and 258 females of Manipur, Northeast India. Blood pressure measurements were taken using a mercury sphygmomanometer, and the average value of three measurements was recorded. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS version 23.
Results: Statistical analysis showed significant association of hypertension with consumption of salty food (P < 0.05, χ2 = 12.28), junk food (P < 0.05, χ2 = 6.07) and sugar sweetened drinks (P < 0.05, χ2 = 8.37). Mean arterial pressure was also found to be significantly associated with sugar-sweetened drink consumption (χ2 = 6.96, p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The study highlighted the association of salt, sugar and junk food consumption with hypertension among the adolescents of Manipur.

Abstract. Ricot M, Jeetun S, Joggee S, Kaullysing D, Taleb-Hossenkhan N, Bhagooli R. 2023. Thermal photo-physiological responses of massive heat-resistant coral Porites lutea under fish predated versus non-predated conditions. Indo Pac J Ocean Life 7: 38-47. Fish predation on corals leading to polyp and tissue loss has been identified as a significant stressor to corals and is often associated with reduced growth, reproduction, and even mortality. However, how climate change-driven ocean warming may impact such a biological stressor is yet to be thoroughly understood. This study aimed to assess elevated temperature’s effects on the photo-physiology of fish-predated and non-predated parts of the thermally resistant coral Porites lutea (Quoy & Gaimard, 1833). The objectives were to assess the photo-physiological parameters such as effective quantum yield at photosystem II (FPSII), relative maximum electron transport rate (rETRmax), maximum photo-chemical quenching (NPQmax), photosynthetic efficiency (?), photoinhibition (?) and Ik at fish bite-affected (BA) and non-affected (NA) coral parts at temperatures of 28°C and 32°C under low-light (10 µmol quanta m-2s-1) and moderate-light (110 µmol quanta m-2s-1) conditions for a duration of 48hr. FPSII, rETRmax and NPQmax were not negatively affected by fish predation conditions. Under moderate light, the rETRmax increased in the non-predated condition at 28°C but not at 32°C while the NPQmax exhibited a more pronounced increase at 32°C compared to the 28°C treatment. The absence of significant declines in FPSII and rETRmax accompanied by a significant increase in NPQmax at 32°C is indicative of a lack of photo-inhibition and an active quenching of energy in a non-harmful way at PSII. No significant interactions of temperature and predation condition and light and predation condition were found, indicating that short-term exposure of 2 days to an elevated temperature of 32°C and moderate light intensity of 110 µmol quanta m-2s-1 did not result in any exacerbated negative photo-physiological impacts of fish predation in P. lutea. These findings suggest that both fish-predated and non-predated conditions in P. lutea are equally tolerant to the tested elevated temperature level. Thus, ocean warming events may not differentially impact their photosynthetic activities.
Intercombination line frequencies in 171Yb validated with the clock transition
Authors: Jones Daniel M. , van Kann Frank , McFerran John J. 
Published: April 2023

We have carried absolute frequency measurements of the (6s2)1S0−(6s6p)3P1 transition in 171Yb (intercombination line), where the spin-1/2 isotope yields two hyperfine lines. The measurements rely on sub-Doppler spectroscopy to yield a discriminator to which a 556 nm laser is locked. The frequency reference for the optical frequency measurements is a high-quality quartz oscillator steered to the GNSS time scale that is bridged with a frequency comb. The reference is validated to ∼3×10−12 by spectroscopy on the 1S0−3P0 (clock) line in laser cooled and trapped 171Yb atoms. From the hyperfine separation between the F=1/2 and F=3/2 levels of 3P1, we determine the hyperfine constant to be A(3P1)=3957833(28)kHz.
Hepatitis B and C in individuals with a history of antipsychotic medication use: A population-based evaluation
Authors: Awan Amnah , Shakik Sharara , Banack Hailey R. , Fisman David N. , Simmons Alison E. 
Published: April 2023

Background
A better understanding of links between mental illness and risk of bloodborne infectious disease could inform preventive and therapeutic strategies in individuals with mental illness.

Methods
We performed a cross-sectional study using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to estimate the seroprevalence of hepatitis B and C in individuals with and without a prior prescription for antipsychotic medications, and to determine whether differences in seroprevalence could be explained by differential distribution in known infection risk factors. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the association between receipt of antipsychotic medication and HBV and HCV seropositivity.

Results
Those who had HBV core antibody had 1.64 (95% CI: 0.89, 3.02) times the odds and those with HCV antibody (anti-HCV) had 3.48 (95% CI: 1.71, 7.09) times the odds of having a prescription for at least one antipsychotic medication compared to those who did not have HBV core antibody or HCV antibody, respectively. While prior antipsychotic receipt was a potent risk marker for HCV seropositivity, risk was explained by adjusting for known bloodborne infection risk factors (adjusted ORs 1.01 [95% CI: 0.50, 2.02] and 1.38 [95% CI: 0.44, 4.36] for HBV and HCV, respectively).

Conclusions
Prior receipt of antipsychotic medications is a strong predictor of HCV (and to a lesser extent HBV) seropositivity. Treatment with antipsychotic medications should be considered as additional risk markers for individuals who may benefit from targeted prevention, screening, and harm reduction interventions for HCV.
Effect of geometric distortion correction on thickness and volume measurements of cortical parcellations in 3D T1w gradient echo sequences
Authors: Thaler Christian , Sedlacik Jan , Forkert Nils D. , Stellmann Jan-Patrick , Schön Gerhard , Fiehler Jens , Gellißen Susanne 
Published: April 2023

Objective
Automated brain volumetric analysis based on high-resolution T1-weighted MRI datasets is a frequently used tool in neuroimaging for early detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of various neurological diseases. However, image distortions can corrupt and bias the analysis. The aim of this study was to explore the variability of brain volumetric analysis due to gradient distortions and to investigate the effect of distortion correction methods implemented on commercial scanners.

Material and methods
36 healthy volunteers underwent brain imaging using a 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, including a high-resolution 3D T1-weighted sequence. For all participants, each T1-weighted image was reconstructed directly on the vendor workstation with (DC) and without (nDC) distortion correction. For each participant’s set of DC and nDC images, FreeSurfer was used for the determination of regional cortical thickness and volume.

Results
Overall, significant differences were found in 12 cortical ROIs comparing the volumes of the DC and nDC data and in 19 cortical ROIs comparing the thickness of the DC and nDC data. The most pronounced differences for cortical thickness were found in the precentral gyrus, the lateral occipital and postcentral ROI (2.69, -2.91% and -2.79%, respectively) while cortical volumes differed most prominently in the paracentral, the pericalcarine and lateral occipital ROI (5.52%, -5.40% and -5.11%, respectively).

Conclusion
Correcting for gradient non-linearities can have significant influence on volumetric analysis of cortical thickness and volume. Since the distortion correction is an automatic feature of the MR scanner, it should be stated by each study that applies volumetric analysis which images were used.

Design of a compact metamaterial absorber with wide angular stability and polarisation insensitive for C, X and broad Ku band applications
Authors: Puri Vishal , Singh Hari Shankar 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The article presents the design and development of a metamaterial-based microwave absorber having polarisation insensitivity, broad angle of incidence, low profile, and compactness in the microwave frequency range. The unit cell focuses to achieve maximum absorption at C-, X- and broad Ku-bands. The structure is simulated and the results are analysed for different angles of polarisation and angle of incidence. The dimension of the proposed structure is ultrathin and compact having an overall dimension of 8 mm × 8 mm × 0.8 mm. The dimensions are optimized in such a fashion to achieve three different peaks at three different bands thereby making the triple-band behaviour of the metamaterial absorber possible. The structure is providing absorption of 99.14% absorption at 6.08 GHz (C-Band) while absorption of 98.29% is achieved at 9.49 GHz (X-band) and 265 MHz bandwidth with above 95% absorption from 16.57 GHz to 16.83 GHz (Ku-Band) in the microwave regime. The absorber patch is a composition of square ring patches and a central square ring annexed with triangles on four sides, the split ring providing a combinational effect witnessing the desired absorption at designated frequencies. The unit cell dimension at a lower cut-off frequency is 0.162 λ
lowest. The proposed structure is verified for polarisation sensitivity and has a wide angle of incidence. The structure is experimentally verified for results and is found to be in close agreement with simulated ones. The compactness of structure with the attainment of the highest form of absorption in different bands including the 265 MHz high absorption band provides the scope of applicability in various engineering applications at microwave regimes.

Severe maternal thrombocytopenia and prenatal invasive procedures: still a grey zone
Authors: D’Alberti Elena , Brunelli Roberto , D’Ambrosio Valentina , Galoppi Paola , Santoro Cristina , Giancotti Antonella 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Management of severe thrombocytopenia, particularly of ITP, in pregnancy is mainly based on expert consensus and clinical experience while there are no clear indications about the minimum platelet count requested for prenatal diagnosis invasive procedures. Since the lack of specific recommendations we reported our clinical management of a patient suffering from severe thrombocytopenia, undergoing amniocentesis. Due to the anecdotic possibility of maternal and fetal bleeding in case of severe thrombocytopenia, prophylaxis with IVIG or even corticosteroids could be considered as a safer strategy to prevent post-procedural adverse outcomes.
Nietzsche’s Heraclitus: Historical Figure and Personal-Philosophical Archetype
Authors: Rayman Joshua 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The multiple sources and functions of Heraclitus in Nietzsche’s writings should not be underestimated. Nietzsche’s early readings of Heraclitus are steeped in the Greek fragments, the doxographical tradition, and in philological scholarship. Hence, they are largely either fair interpretations of the extant fragments, clear translations of a select group of fragments into his own language, or improvisations based in part on a narrow subset of the spurious remarks set down in the doxographical tradition. Nietzsche’s later departures from this tradition articulate an anti-metaphysical Heraclitus that he found in the Heraclitean fragments, which he takes to prefigure and later parrot his doctrines of becoming, the child, strife, chance, and eternal recurrence. For this reason, Nietzsche’s Heraclitus is necessarily no objective, individual historical person, but at various times and to various degrees a copy, an appropriative invention, and a personal-philological-philosophical archetype filtered through the lenses of ancient Greek understandings of how he must have lived, given what he said and what philosophy is; nineteenth-century German philological reconstructions of Heraclitean thought; and Nietzsche’s own need for such a precursor to voice his own doctrines and thereby lend them heft against the Platonic tradition of metaphysical philosophy.
Sociolinguistic variation, or lack thereof, in the use of the Italian subjunctive: mood selection with factive and semi-factive governors
Authors: Cerruti Massimo , Ballarè Silvia 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
This paper deals with various aspects of the use of the subjunctive in spoken Italian. Firstly, a brief overview is provided of the interplay of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors underlying the selection of the subjunctive in various syntactic structures. Special attention is paid to the differences in subjunctive use in factual and non-factual contexts, pointing out that the former are less studied and less affected by normative injunctions than the latter. The focus then falls on factual contexts, in particular subordinate clauses which depend on factive and semi-factive governors. The investigation is based on KIParla, a corpus of spoken Italian consisting of different types of interactions with speakers of various origins and social backgrounds. It is argued that in the factual context at hand the subjunctive fulfills a specific set of functions, mostly related to the speaker’s stance towards the content of the subordinate clause. Finally, a statistical analysis is performed using conditional inference trees and random forests in order to uncover the linguistic and extra-linguistic conditioning of subjunctive use. The analysis shows that in the context under observation it is only linguistic factors that significantly condition mood selection; the use of the subjunctive is substantially insensitive to socio-stylistic and geographic variation, and therefore a socially shared pattern of variation has emerged.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
The industry is challenged to replace toxic chemical-based surfactants with environmentally friendly and biodegradable surfactants. In this study, binary mixtures of sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSA) and an alkyl polyglucoside (APG10) in various proportions were investigated for their effectiveness as degreasing agents. Efficacy was characterised using surface tension measurements, oil dispersion tests, emulsification, pH and cleaning efficacy in removing engine oil from a metal plate. The surface tension results for all solutions showed a critical micelle concentration of 1500 ppm. The dispersion tests (with oil:surfactant ratios of 1:2 and 1:3) showed that the oil was fully dispersed at an oil:surfactant ratio of 1:2 i.e., at a concentration of 2500 ppm SLSA and 2000 ppm of a binary solution with a volume ratio of SLSA:APG10 of 75:25. At a ratio of 1:3, the oil was fully dispersed with 2500 ppm of a binary solution with a ratio of SLSA:APG10 of 75:25. Overall, the solution with a volume ratio of SLSA:APG10 of 75:25 was the most favourable. The results also showed that a solution containing only SLSA had good potential as a degreaser, as it achieved a cleaning performance of 90% in removing oil from the metal plate despite low emulsification levels (E24) for both surfactants. In summary, a combination of these two green surfactants can be used effectively as a degreasing agent.
