Purpose
This study aims to investigate the associations of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) with bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis in adult females from a nationally representative sample.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was performed among 4092 females aged ≥20 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2010. Linear and logistic regressions were applied to explore the relationships of SII with BMD and the risk of osteoporosis, respectively.

Results
Linear regression analyses found that a doubling of SII levels was significantly correlated with a 1.39% (95% CI: 0.57%, 2.20%) decrease in total femur BMD, a 1.16% (95% CI: 0.31%, 2.00%) decrease in femur neck BMD, a 1.73% (95% CI: 0.78%, 2.66%) decrease in trochanter BMD, and a 1.35% (95% CI: 0.50%, 2.20%) decrease in intertrochanteric BMD among postmenopausal women, after adjusting for covariates. Logistic regression analyses showed that compared with postmenopausal women in the lowest SII quartile, those in the highest quartile had higher risks of osteoporosis in the total femur (odds ratio (OR) = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.04, 2.76), trochanter (OR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.07, 3.38), intertrochanter (OR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.05, 4.04) as well as overall osteoporosis (OR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.04, 2.37). In contrast, there was no significant association between SII and BMD in premenopausal women.

Conclusions
SII levels were negatively associated with BMD levels in postmenopausal women but not in premenopausal women. Elevated SII levels could be a potential risk factor for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
A Working Woman in Eighteenth-Century Vilnius: Possibilities and The Character of Work

The topic of this study is “A Working Woman in Eighteenth-Century Vilnius: Possibilities and The Character of Work”. The aim of this study is to analyse the labour possibilities and character for 18th century women in Vilnius. In order to reveal these aspects the following issues were explored: ascertainment of the nature of women’s labour; ascertainment of the wages payed and wage dynamics for women’s labour; ascertainment of the social status and marital status of women part of the working women. In the 18th century women’s labour can be ascribed to the “service sector”. This type of labour was mostly unqualified work and did not require a lot of physical strength and can be divided into two categories – hire and trade. The duration of hired work was varied. The wages for women who worked for hire in short durations was calculated by day. Such hire work can be characterized as being seasonal and is observed in agricultural labour, which women were hired for during summer and autumn. Women serving in convents were hired for long-term labour. They worked and lived in these institutions all year long. While serving in convents women carried out the same jobs as maids working on private household properties (various household chores). These women were not paid with money alone because the institutions provided them with tenancy, maintenance, clothing and foot-wear as well.The specifics of labour for women working as wet-nurses differed from other labour workers. This type of labour could only be performed by women who had recently had given birth to their own children and were not discouraged by the risks that came with nursing foundlings.Women’s wages were usually lower than men’s and they sometimes got paid more than double the amount of women’s wages. The highest wages were paid out to wet-nurses because of the high health risks that came with nursing children abandoned by their parents. A stable income was guaranteed for women who were serving in convents and working as wet-nurses. Women working for short-term hire got paid with one-off payments and only once they have completed their tasks [job]. However, single-day labour work wages were higher. It is unknown how much money women in trade were making. However it is known that they made up 35 to 90 percent of the city’s official tax paying traders. These statistics reveal that women were trading various products – from shoes to various metal objects as well as food and vegetables.The type of labour force women were a part of could have also been determined by their marital status. Unmarried, young aged women most often served in convents and older women with families tended to favour short-term work for hire. Trade was favoured most often by married women (or widows), who could sell not just their home-made food products and home-grown fruits and vegetables but also their artisan spouse’s (or parents) produced ware at local market places.
The homology groups $H_{n+1} \left( \mathbb{C}\Omega_n \right)$
Authors: Pasko A.M. 
Published: January 2023

The topic of the paper is the investigation of the homology groups of the $(2n+1)$-dimensional CW-complex $\mathbb{C}\Omega_n$. The spaces $\mathbb{C}\Omega_n$ consist of complex-valued functions and are the analogue of the spaces $\Omega_n$, widely known in the approximation theory. The spaces $\mathbb{C}\Omega_n$ have been introduced in 2015 by A.M. Pasko who has built the CW-structure of the spaces $\mathbb{C}\Omega_n$ and using this CW-structure established that the spaces $\mathbb{C}\Omega_n$ are simply connected. Note that the mentioned CW-structure of the spaces $\mathbb{C}\Omega_n$ is the analogue of the CW-structure of the spaces $\Omega_n$ constructed by V.I. Ruban. Further A.M. Pasko found the homology groups of the space $\mathbb{C}\Omega_n$ in the dimensionalities $0, 1, \ldots, n, 2n-1, 2n, 2n+1$. The goal of the present paper is to find the homology group $H_{n+1}\left ( \mathbb{C}\Omega_n \right )$. It is proved that $H_{n+1} \left ( \mathbb{C}\Omega_n \right )=\mathbb{Z}^\frac{n+1}{2}$ if $n$ is odd and $H_{n+1} \left ( \mathbb{C}\Omega_n \right )=\mathbb{Z}^\frac{n+2}{2}$ if $n$ is even.

El Pacifico norte de Costa Rica representa un importante vacío de información científica marino-costera, donde la falta de un enfoque en la resiliencia de las poblaciones sujeto de conservación da un fallo del sistema de manejo, el objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar los factores biológicos de los elasmobranquios más comunes en Bahía Santa Elena, la investigación comprendió un periodo desde septiembre 2015 hasta agosto 2016, para ello se realizaron muestreos una vez al mes, y mediante censo subacuático se determinó la diversidad, abundancia relativa y distribución de las especies, se trabajó con una muestra de 289 individuos. Para identificar los aspectos biométricos junto con la biología reproductiva se trabajó en Estero Grande haciendo uso de un trasmallo. En los puestos de recibo de pescado de Cuajiniquil se determinó la estructura de tallas de captura. Adicionalmente, se aplicó una encuesta a 120 pescadores para conocer la percepción social referente a los factores del desarrollo sostenible. Entre los principales resultados se obtuvo que los meses de mayor precipitación se relacionan con picos de los índices de diversidad, con poca distribución espacial. Se presenta un remplazo estacional de especies, destacando el arribo de Rhinoptera steindachneri, Mobula munkiana, durante los meses lluviosos y Mustelus henlei junto con Sphyrna lewini durante los vientos alisios. El periodo de desove principal para Myliobatiformes se ubica cerca de noviembre, pero Urotrygon nana presenta un segundo periodo en julio. La biometría indica que hubo un mayor número de organismos juveniles para tiburones y adultos para rayas. Finalmente, la pesca con trasmallo de fondo se caracterizó por bajo rendimiento económico, que incide en captura de juveniles de S. lewini.
Dzieje odnalezienia drzewa Krzyża Świętego. Ustalenia i wątpliwości historyczne

At the end of the last century modern scholarly debate concerning the legend of finding the True Cross started again. S. Heid, S. Borgehammar i J. W. Drijvers presented different reconstructions of beginnings of Inventio crucis. Heid maintained that the Holy Wood was not found, Borgehammar wrote that this event really had place and that Helena discovered the lignum crucis. Drijvers argues with Borgehammar about finding the trophy but he thinks that He- lena did not participate in that event. Recently in polish publications about relics and True Cross the Borgehammar’s thesis was accepted without any analysis of the ancient texts and without discussion about the state of research.In this paper author investigates the Greek, Latin (and translations of Syriac) texts, evaluates the veracity of the legend and comments all thesis, which have been already published. A literary analysis shows that Helena was not connected with the discovery of the Holy Wood, she was not in Jerusalem at the time the Christ’s tomb was found and the construction of the Church of Holy Sepulchre started – only in this time the lignum crucis may have been discovered. Building work in Jerusalem started before she went on her pilgrimage to Palestine. Inventio Crucis was evidently later construct.Moreover there is no proof that the discovery indeed had place. The earliest sources do not mention it and we know nothing about place where Cross may have been found. On the other hand it is also possible that some chunks of wood were discovered during the buildings work in Jerusalem, and later (rather not immediately) these pieces were claimed to be the fragments of the True Cross. Lignum crucis was undoubtedly venerated in the end of the fourth century in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The legend could explained the presence of the relics of the Cross (which soon became a favourite goal of pilgrimage) foremost in Jerusalem and gave a reason for presence of fractions of the trophy in other places. It is also probable that Cyril of Jerusalem initiated writing the story and used it for his own purposes.We cannot definitely determine that „finding” of the Cross was a real event or not but we can prove that Helena did not discover the Holy Wood.

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe triggering of large earthquakes by anthropic activities is a challenging issue in seismology, invoked also for the ML 5.9 and 5.8 Emilia 2012 destructive earthquakes. The interaction between the two earthquakes that propagated along adjacent thrusts is still an open issue. In this study, we used waveform cross correlation and double-difference (DD) location methods to precisely relocate the aftershock sequence and get insights into fault geometry, structure, and rheology by means of DD seismic tomography. Accurate relocations highlight a complex fault system with small-length fault segments coalescing in the Mirandola and Ferrara thrusts. We observe a broad continuous high-VP/VS anomaly at seismogenic depth (about 6.0 km) that suggests a possible hydraulic connection along the entire fault system. A close look at seismicity indicates a quasi-simultaneous activation of the entire thrust system, with the two mainshocks and large aftershocks occurring within the high-VP/VS, high fluid pressure, and connecting volume.

AbstractDuring the past few years, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has become an invaluable tool for recording high-fidelity seismic wavefields with great spatiotemporal resolutions. However, the considerable amount of data generated during DAS experiments limits their distribution with the broader scientific community. Such a bottleneck inherently slows down the pursuit of new scientific discoveries in geosciences. Here, we introduce PubDAS—the first large-scale open-source repository where several DAS datasets from multiple experiments are publicly shared. PubDAS currently hosts eight datasets covering a variety of geological settings (e.g., urban centers, underground mines, and seafloor), spanning from several days to several years, offering both continuous and triggered active source recordings, and totaling up to ∼90 TB of data. This article describes these datasets, their metadata, and how to access and download them. Some of these datasets have only been shallowly explored, leaving the door open for new discoveries in Earth sciences and beyond.
An Ensemble Approach to Characterizing Trailing-Induced Seismicity
Authors: Schultz Ryan , Ellsworth William L. , Beroza Gregory C. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractEarthquakes caused by human activities can pose significant risks, and lingering seismicity that trails the stopped anthropogenic operation is a particular challenge for risk management. To address this concern, we characterize cases in which induced seismicity stops. Five competing models are fit to 56 trailing seismicity cases that span injection operations including: hydraulic fracturing, enhanced geothermal systems, wastewater disposal, and gas storage. Models are ranked based on a suite of statistical performance metrics. We find that the Omori and stretched exponential models are typically the best fitting; however, because there are cases in which each model is best, we advocate for the use of an ensemble. We discuss a framework for a weighted ensemble that updates based on model performance and then demonstrate with a post hoc “forecast” of trailing seismicity. We also find some cases (∼23%) that misfit all the models. Residual analysis of these outlier cases shows common themes, including productive trailing sequences that abruptly cease. Such outliers suggest room for more physically motivated models that can encompass phenomenon such as operator mitigation, stress shadows, or poroelasticity. The results of our study provide a quantitative framework for quantifying trailing seismicity, including both forecasting, and observable mitigation criteria.

To do a prospective study on foreign bodies(FB) in the oropharyngeal (OP) / nasopharyngeal (NP) pathways done in the ENT department of a tertiary care private medical college hospital in the year 2022.To analyse, categorize, correlate the demographic data of patients presenting with FB in OP/ NP pathways with the nature of FB, clinical features, method of removal, duration of hospital stay in the ENT department of a tertiary care private medical college hospital in the year 2022.Study method: Prospective studyStudy centre: Saveetha Medical College, ThandalamStudy population: patients with nasopharyngeal foreign body attending the ENT departmentStudy duration: 8 months from January to August 2022Sample size: 50 1. Age more than 6 months 2. Both male and female subjects 3. Patients presenting to ENT department with oropharyngeal/nasopharyngeal foreign body. 1. Age less than 6 months 2. Patients presenting to ENT department with diagnosis other than FB in the OP/NP pathways.OP/NP FB has been seen frequently in the males than females. Most of them were single in number in the OP pathway. Highest number of patients are seen in the 30-39yrs age group of LIG, MIG coming from urban and sub-urban population in our study when compared to other studies which showed highest frequency in children. Fishbone was the frequently encountered FB. Almost all of them are acute cases presenting within 24 to 48hrs. With regards to symptoms, all of them except the persons with NP FB presented with dysphagia. In children upto 4yrs the symptoms were incessant cry, refusal to feed and excess salivation were seen. All OP FB were treated with either IDL or DL scopy. All NP FB treated with FOB. Anaesthesia was either local or short GA depending on the merits of each case. The duration of hospital stay was mostly 24 to 48hrs, except 3 cases who were geriatric people with co-morbidities. In our study Foreign bodies in the OP pathway were common in the adult male population in the middle age unlike children in other studies. Fish and chicken bones were common and in the low and middle income group coming from urban and sub-urban locality. Further studies are needed with larger sample size and longer duration to generalize the results to wider population.

Published: January 2023

Heart is one of the vital organs in the human body which is a durable organ and efficient pump. The human heart works tirelessly from the moment of formation and it begins beating until the moment it stops. On an average life time, the human heart beats more than twenty two and half billion times without taking rest. The heart beats continuously and unlike other muscles of the body, it cannot stop to rest when tired and worn from work. Research Approach: This study adopted a non experimental descriptive and comparative survey approach.The study was conducted at the cardio thoracic surgical out patient department of one of the selected hospital at Sahdol.The population comprised of all patients with coronary artery bypass graft attending the cardio thoracic surgical outpatient department of the selected hospital at Sahdol at the time of the study.The sample consisted of 75 patients with coronary artery bypass graft based on the criteria for sample selection. Non probability convenient sampling technique was adopted for the selection of sample. 64 samples (85.3%) were able to carry out the household activities such as cooking, washing the cloth, sweeping, grinding, ironing, gardening, minor repairing work at home moderately well and 11(14.7%) were able to perform these activities very well before surgery. However after the surgery the percentage of samples who performed the household activities very well increased by 5.3%.cBefore surgery 59 samples (78.7%) showed good interest in reading newspaper and watching TV. However after surgery this number reduced to 51, a reduction of 10.7%. that majority of the samples (84-94.7%) had good social well being before surgery. However after surgery the samples showed moderate quality of life in social wellbeing. Statistically there was no significant difference between the mean score of personal and household activities ( t-0.239 and 0.054,df=74,p&#60;0.0 ) before and after surgery and there was significant difference between the mean score of outdoor and other activities (t-3.17and3.8,df=74,p&#60;0.01 ) before and after surgery. The study concludes that the quality of life of patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft was better before surgery but after surgery the quality of life was better in physical well being whereas psychological and social wellbeing was reduced.

Background: Given that no comprehensive study was conducted regarding the effect of sodium chloride on the prevention of mucormycosis fungal infection in acute leukemia patients during treatment, this study aimed the investigating the effect of sodium chloride on the prevention of mucormycosis fungal infection in acute lymphocytic leukemia patients during treatment.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on children with ALL who were undergoing chemotherapy in the induction phase and were susceptible to fungal and infectious diseases. Then 84 patients were randomly divided into the two groups. One group (n=46) received nasal drop containing sodium chloride (NORMONIX, 0.65%, three times a day) as the intervention group during treatment and another group did not receive sodium chloride (control group)(n=38). If the symptoms of mucormycosis was observed and detected (positive test), the injection of amphotrypsin B was started.
Results: In the current study, 84 patients entered the study. The mean age of patients in the control group and the intervention group was 7.84±3.45, and 6.45±3.4 years, respectively (P>0.05). Positive mucormycosis was seen in 24 (63.2%) patients in the control group and 16 (34.78%) patients in the intervention group (P=0.01).
Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, the frequency of patients with positive mucormycosis in the NaCl group was significantly lower than the control group. Therefore, it seems that NaCl drop can be effective regarding reducing the incidence of mucormycosis fungal infection and can decrease the need to amphotrypsin B, but further studies should be conducted in this regard.

Published: January 2023

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as the most common malignancy in children is associated with high mortality and significant relapse. Currently, the non-invasive diagnosis of pediatric ALL is a main challenge in the early detection of patients. In the present study, a systems biology approach was used through network-based analysis to identify the key candidate genes related to ALL development and relapse.
Materials and methods: In this systems biology (experimental) study, main and validating datasets were retrieved from a gene expression omnibus (GEO). Gene expression analyses were done using a bioinformatics array research tool (BART) and ExAtlas. Gene ontology and pathway enrichment analysis were also performed via Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). Furthermore, the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING) and cytoscape V.3.9.1 were used to network construction and analysis. The MCODE and NCMine Plugin of cytoscape were applied to find clusters and a functional module in the network. The Kaplan Myer curve was applied in order to survival analysis of the validated candidate genes. A P-value of < 0.05 was considered as significant.
Results: A total of 671 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) mainly involved in transporter/channel activity functions, cell communication/signaling processes and fatty acid transport/PPAR signaling/eicosanoid metabolism pathways were identified (P-value < 0.05). The main cellular compartments were plasma membrane, cell periphery and cell surface (P-value <0.05). The network analysis revealed 68 hub genes, 29 of which were candidate genes. Five candidate genes were also validated in two independent experiments. These genes were considered as key candidate genes, and three of them (BCL2L11, IGF1, PDE5A) were predictors of pediatric ALL patients survival (P-value < 0.05).
Conclusion: BCL2L11, IGF1 and PDE5A genes, as key candidate genes, are potentially good diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for pediatric ALL.
