Authors: Deng Nuannuan , Soh Kim Geok , Abdullah Borhannudin , Huang Dandan , Xiao Wensheng , Liu Huange 
Published: July 2023

Background
The literature has proven that plyometric training (PT) improves various physical performance outcomes in sports. Even though PT is one of the most often employed strength training methods, a thorough analysis of PT and how it affects technical skill performance in sports needs to be improved.

Methods
This study aimed to compile and synthesize the existing studies on the effects of PT on healthy athletes’ technical skill performance. A comprehensive search of SCOPUS, PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, and SPORTDiscus databases was performed on 3rd May 2023. PICOS was employed to establish the inclusion criteria: 1) healthy athletes; 2) a PT program; 3) compared a plyometric intervention to an active control group; 4) tested at least one measure of athletes’ technical skill performance; and 5) randomized control designs. The methodological quality of each individual study was evaluated using the PEDro scale. The random-effects model was used to compute the meta-analyses. Subgroup analyses were performed (participant age, gender, PT length, session duration, frequency, and number of sessions). Certainty or confidence in the body of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE).

Results
Thirty-two moderate-high-quality studies involving 1078 athletes aged 10–40 years met the inclusion criteria. The PT intervention lasted for 4 to 16 weeks, with one to three exercise sessions per week. Small-to-moderate effect sizes were found for performance of throwing velocity (i.e., handball, baseball, water polo) (ES = 0.78; p < 0.001), kicking velocity and distance (i.e., soccer) (ES = 0.37–0.44; all p < 0.005), and speed dribbling (i.e., handball, basketball, soccer) (ES = 0.85; p = 0.014), while no significant effects on stride rate (i.e., running) were noted (ES = 0.32; p = 0.137). Sub-analyses of moderator factors included 16 data sets. Only training length significantly modulated PT effects on throwing velocity (> 7 weeks, ES = 1.05; ≤ 7 weeks, ES = 0.29; p = 0.011). The level of certainty of the evidence for the meta-analyzed outcomes ranged from low to moderate.

Conclusion
Our findings have shown that PT can be effective in enhancing technical skills measures in youth and adult athletes. Sub-group analyses suggest that PT longer (> 7 weeks) lengths appear to be more effective for improving throwing velocity. However, to fully determine the effectiveness of PT in improving sport-specific technical skill outcomes and ultimately enhancing competition performance, further high-quality research covering a wider range of sports is required.
Impact of airway challenges on cardiovascular risk in asthma – a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Moore Linn E. , Brotto Andrew R. , Fuhr Desi P. , Rosychuk Rhonda J. , Wong Eric , Bhutani Mohit , Stickland Michael K. 
Published: July 2023

Background
People experiencing asthma exacerbations are at increased risk of cardiovascular events. To better understand the relationship between asthma exacerbations and cardiovascular risk, this randomized case-control, cross-over controlled trial assessed the immediate systemic inflammatory and vascular responses to acutely induced pulmonary inflammation and bronchoconstriction in people with asthma and controls.

Methods
Twenty-six people with asthma and 25 controls underwent three airway challenges (placebo, mannitol, and methacholine) in random order. Markers of cardiovascular risk, including serum C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor, endothelial function (flow-mediated dilation), microvascular function (blood-flow following reactive hyperemia), and arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity) were evaluated at baseline and within one hour following each challenge. The systemic responses in a) asthma/control and b) positive airway challenges were analyzed. (ClinicalTrials.gov reg# NCT02630511)

Results
Both the mannitol and methacholine challenges resulted in clinically significant reductions in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) in asthma (-7.6% and -17.9%, respectively). Following positive challenges, reduction in FEV1 was -27.6% for methacholine and -14.2% for mannitol. No meaningful differences in predictors of cardiovascular risk were observed between airway challenges regardless of bronchoconstrictor response.

Conclusion
Neither acutely induced bronchoconstriction nor pulmonary inflammation and bronchoconstriction resulted in meaningful changes in systemic inflammatory or vascular function. These findings question whether the increased cardiovascular risk associated with asthma exacerbations is secondary to acute bronchoconstriction or inflammation, and suggest that other factors need to be further evaluated such as the cardiovascular impacts of short-acting inhaled beta-agonists.
Behaviour, distribution and conservation threats of Dolphin Platanista gangetica (Roxburgh, 1801) in rivers of Nepal
Authors: Labh Shyam Narayan 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Nepal is a land-linked country relatively small in area. However, it is home to several rivers, and these rivers are undoubtedly beautiful additions to the mountainous nation's splendid scenic landscape. Most of Nepal's surface water drains through the three major rivers are Saptakoshi, Narayani, and Karnali. Mechi and Mahakali Rivers and their tributaries mark the international boundaries between Nepal and India. All of these originate either from the Himalayas or from the Tibet Plateau and are perennial. However, dams and other water development projects, intensive fishing, pollution, and extensive human disturbances have decreased the abundance of the Ganges River Dolphin, which is now restricted only to the Koshi and Karnali River systems and in an isolated form. The first Integrated Dolphin Census of Nepal, conducted in 2016, recorded 52 dolphins throughout the country. Of the 52 dolphins, 43 were sighted in the Mohana of Karnali and its tributaries. No dolphins have been recorded recently for the Mahakali river, and sightings in the Narayani river, are occasional. The population of the River Dolphins is declining at an alarming rate. Therefore, it is important to regularly assess the status and trends of their populations and design strategies for their conservation and sustainable use.
Territory and status of dolphins in Nepalese rivers: A review
Authors: Shrestha Madhav K , Ranjan Rahul 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Nepal is endowed with vast water resources in form of glaciers, lakes, streams and rivers. All the rivers in Nepal are connected to the Ganges River system of India. The major rivers are reliable sources of water and provide habitats for aquatic animals, opportunities for hydropower, and irrigation development in downstream regions. The major rivers of Nepal include the Koshi, Gandaki (Narayani), Karnali, and Mahakali which all drain from north to south. These rivers support abundant wildlife species as well as a number of fishes, amphibians and reptiles. Most relevant to this paper is the Ganges River Dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica Roxburgh, 1801). The Ganges River Dolphin preys on fish, mollusks and other aquatic animals. Being a migratory species, the dolphins move from larger rivers to their tributaries, seasonally. This paper is intended to review work on the status of Ganges River Dolphin in Nepalese rivers based on secondary data obtained from different published surveys targeting the dolphin populations. The records show the Karnali River has the largest population, followed by the Koshi and Narayani rivers, with no record of dolphins occupying the Mahakali River in recent years. Recent surveys estimate about 100 dolphins living in Nepal, with 80 estimated in the Karnali River. Different anthropogenic activities including construction work, intensive fishing, pollution and the lack of conservation planning for dolphins have resulted in a decline in number from historic levels. The presence of this aquatic mammal is considered as an indicator of the overall health of the river system. The COVID-19 pandemic and lock down might have caused increased dolphin sightings. Additionally, high pre-monsoon precipitation in recent years have caused higher water levels in smaller rivers, possibly causing the dolphins to return earlier than usual to the major river systems. They were recorded to be present in the Mohana and other small tributaries of the Karnali River as early as first week of June.
Riverine health and the future of dolphins in northeastern India
Authors: Biswas S.P. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The Gangetic Dolphin (Platanista gangetica) was once found in tens of thousands in the rivers of the Indian sub-continent, but the numbers have now dwindled abysmally throughout its geographical distribution. In northeastern India too, dolphins were seen in all the major rivers and also in certain wetlands during monsoon months till the early 1980s. However, the sighting of dolphins is rare now due to natural and human-induced factors. Three factors - adequate water cover, water quality, and abundance of prey food either individually or in combination- relate to River Dolphins’ existence. Variability of meteorological parameters also severely impacts on the limno-biological parameters of riverine habitats. Restoration of Gangetic Dolphins in their traditional habitats can boost ecotourism in the region. An extensive study is necessary to assess the cumulative impact of the proposed hydroelectric projects on the aquatic biodiversity of the entire eastern Himalayan region. The need of the hour is to adopt a holistic and participatory approach for maintaining riverine health and the prey base of the Barak and the Brahmaputra systems.

Wyrok Trybunału Konstytucyjnego z dnia 28 czerwca 2017 roku, P 63/14, mimo swojej pozornej jednoznaczności stał się przedmiotem wyjątkowo szerokiej dyskusji zarówno wśród praktyków, jak i teoretyków prawa. Mimo upływu ponad 4 lat od dnia jego wydania, w praktyce sądowo-komorniczej wciąż nie wykształciła się jednolita linia interpretacyjna, a poszczególne sądy i poszczególni komornicy rozbieżnie interpretują przedmiotowe rozstrzygnięcie. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest zbiorcze przedstawienie zapatrywań doktryny prawa egzekucyjnego i zestawienie poglądów piśmiennictwa z realiami praktyki sądowej oraz podjęcie polemiki z dominującą, jak się wydaje, linią interpretacyjną. Autor, w oparciu o bogate orzecznictwo sądów powszechnych oraz sprawozdania sędziów wizytatorów, nie tylko przedstawi w jaki sposób sądy powszechne interpretują rozstrzygnięcie Trybunału Konstytucyjnego, ale również podda w wątpliwość prawidłowości takiego działania.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Edge computing gateway automation system is integrated in edge computing gateway. One of the main functions of edge computing system is to connect industrial instruments and communication equipment in the process of industrial production. It provides real-time data monitoring and analysis, and initiates responses to predetermined logical events. The operation process includes separating and designing different processes in a certain order. The production and processing process is susceptible to problems such as long production and processing cycles, multiple types of monitoring data, large amounts of processing data, and data vulnerability to external interference, which leads to inaccurate and unsynchronized data. Based on this, this article investigated the analysis of data processing systems based on cloud computing, focusing on analyzing the system architecture and processing, and elaborating the design of data collectors. Then, this article analyzed the efficiency of AI (artificial intelligence) automatic control system and data processing unit. This article discussed the application of AI in collecting and processing data, the composition of the data management module of AI automatic control system, and the data processing in the data module of AI automatic control system. This paper also described the construction method and process of the automatic control system of edge computing gateway, and discussed from the following aspects: data preprocessing module, data classification processing module, data accumulation analysis module, automatic control algorithm logic module, and instruction execution control module. Experiments and investigations showed that the accuracy of data analysis by using the new AI automatic control system and data processing system was 0.11 higher than that of traditional automatic control systems and data processing systems. The data processing effectiveness of the new AI automatic control system and data processing system was 0.10 higher than that of the traditional automatic control system and data processing system. By using AI technology and edge computing technology to structure the automatic control system and data processing system, a new AI automatic control system and data processing system were constructed, which were 9 % more satisfied than the traditional automatic control system and data processing system.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
This paper presents a cost effective optical multi-carrier generation (OMCG) based 96 Gbps hybrid passive optical network (PON) and free space optical (FSO) communication system. Polarization division multiplexing (PDM) using three different state of polarizations (SOPs) such as 0°, 45° and 90° has been realized and incorporated in the system for tripling the capacity of the proposed hybrid single mode fiber (SMF) and FSO system. Non-return-to-zero (NRZ) modulation format is considered for the cost comparison analysis between conventional PON system, existing PON + FSO system and proposed NRZ modulated three SOPs enabled hybrid PON + FSO system. Results revealed that proposed system provide 24 % cost reduction than conventional PONs and 0.64 % cost reduction as compared to exiting hybrid SMF + FSO PON. Further, effects of different modulation formats such as return-to-zero (RZ), AND compressed spectrum RZ (CSRZ) are investigated in terms of log bit error rate (BER) at different SMF link lengths and fixed FSO range. Our demonstrated hybrid SMF + FSO system can successfully cover the 25 km SMF distance and 3.4 km FSO link range using NRZ showing BER 10−20, RZ 10−6 and CSRZ 10−21.
Negative structures in neo-standard Italian:
non è che
(‘it is not that’) + S and
mica
(‘a crumb’) in comparison
Authors: Guerini Federica 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In 1994, in a thought-provoking paper focusing on the developments emerging in the renewed standard variety of Italian, Monica Berretta formulated a few previsions concerning the future admittance into the norm of a number of traits, in her own words, “features, or better, clusters of features that, in today’s Italian, appear more likely to succeed in establishing themselves in the ongoing process of language change, since they are both co-occurrent and typologically coherent [my translation]”. Those features included the incipient emergence of three negative constructions: i) a construction involving the negative operator mica (< Latin ‘crumb’), either in post-verbal position without a pre-verbal negative marker (e.g. Sono mica scemo ‘I am not a fool’) or ii) in pre-verbal position (e.g. Mica sono scemo ‘I am not a fool’) and iii) a sentential negation entailing the cleft construction non è che (‘it is not that’) + S (e.g. Questo intervento non è che c’entri molto con il programma del congresso… ‘It is not that this proposal is particularly relevant to the conference’s theme…’), which Berretta considered to be favoured in prognostic terms. In this paper, the occurrences of negative constructions within the KIParla corpus will be compared with the corresponding occurrences in a thirty-hour corpus extracted from the Teche Rai data base [www.teche.rai.it], dating back to the 60s, 70s and 80s of the twentieth century. It will be argued that the cleft construction non è che + S has hitherto prevailed at the expense of the others (involving the use of the negative operator mica), that have specialised to express a few distinctive pragmatic and discursive functions.
Histone proteomics implicates H3K36me2 and its regulators in mouse embryonic stem cell pluripotency exit and lineage choice
Authors: Sezginmert Dersu , Terzi Cizmecioglu Nihal 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Gene expression changes during embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation is regulated by epigenetic mechanisms. Understanding these can help uncover how cell fate decisions are made during early embryonic development. Comparison of chromatin of ESCs with lineage-committed cells can implicate chromatin factors functional in exit from pluripotency and the choice of proper lineages. Therefore, we quantitatively analyzed histone modifications in mouse ESC differentiation towards neuroectoderm and endoderm.

Methods
We cultured mouse ESCs (mESCs) and differentiated them towards neuroectoderm or endoderm lineages and performed mass spectrometry on total histones. Subsequent Western blots verified significantly altered H3K36me2. RT-qPCR analyses showed changes in H3K36-specific methyltransferases, demethylases and readers at mESC stage or during neuroectoderm/endoderm commitment.

Results
We presented quantitative histone modification levels in mESCs and lineage-committed cells. H3K36me2 increased specifically in neuroectoderm compared to mESCs or endoderm-committed cells. Regulation of H3K36 methylation might have a role in pluripotency exit and/or differentiation. Nsd2, Dnmt3b and Zmynd11 increased during differentiation regardless of lineage. Conversely, mESCs had higher Kdm4c and Msh6 expression than differentiated cells. Comparing neuroectoderm and endoderm-committed cells, we revealed Nsd1, Setd5 and Dnmt3a had lineage specific expression pattern.

Conclusions
Our results show quantitative changes in histone modifications during mESC lineage commitment and implicate H3K36me2 regulation for not only pluripotency exit but also lineage choice. Its regulatory proteins show stage (mESC vs. committed) or lineage (neuroectoderm vs. endoderm) dependent expression changes. Further work will be needed to discover their possible involvement in cell fate decisions and target genes.
Levelling Up and The Privileging of sub-national governance in England in the inter-Brexit space
Authors: Nurse Alexander , Sykes Olivier 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Although the UK’s exit from the European Union – ‘Brexit’ – has overwhelmingly dominated the national political discourse since 2016 to the expense of nearly every other domestic issue, the policy agenda in the wake of this process is beginning to emerge. This paper examines this agenda, ostensibly supporting a programme of ‘levelling up’ which responds to the perceived root-causes of Brexit. In doing so, we consider the funding streams proposed by the UK Government – namely the Towns Fund, Shared Prosperity Fund and Levelling Up Funds – and examine the extent to which the rhetoric aligns with the reality of their allocation. In doing so, we also consider how, if at all, these schemes correspond to the European Structural Investment Funds (ESIF) they are intended to replace. This paper examines this period of change to consider how the Brexit process is mirroring, and indeed entrenching, these processes of uneven development. We find that the early indications suggest that the UK government is proceeding with funding allocations in a way which can overlook places which meet the technical funding criteria, and therefore indicates political favouring is at play.

AbstractEndocytosis regulates the turnover of cell surface localized receptors, which are crucial for plants to rapidly respond to stimuli. The evolutionary ancient TPLATE complex (TPC) plays an essential role in endocytosis in Arabidopsis plants. Knockout or knockdown of single TPC subunits causes male sterility and seedling lethality phenotypes, complicating analysis of the roles of TPC during plant development. Partially functional alleles of TPC subunits however only cause mild developmental deviations. Here, we took advantage of the partially functional TPLATE allele, WDXM2, to investigate a role for TPC‐dependent endocytosis in receptor‐mediated signaling. We discovered that reduced TPC‐dependent endocytosis confers a hypersensitivity to very low doses of CLAVATA3 peptide signaling. This hypersensitivity correlated with the abundance of the CLAVATA3 receptor protein kinase CLAVATA1 at the plasma membrane. Genetic and biochemical analysis as well as live‐cell imaging revealed that TPC‐dependent regulation of CLAVATA3‐dependent internalization of CLAVATA1 from the plasma membrane is required for shoot stem cell homeostasis. Our findings provide evidence that TPC‐mediated endocytosis and degradation of CLAVATA1 is a mechanism to dampen CLAVATA3‐mediated signaling during plant development.

Published: July 2023

Summary
There are very few reports of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis hormone secretion (SIADH) after receiving severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mRNA vaccine. Herein, we present the case of an 84-year-old woman who developed severe hyponatremia following the second administration of the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine. The patient presented with nausea, vomiting, and headache. Laboratory tests showed a plasma sodium level of 119 mmol/L. After receiving 500 mL of intravenous saline over a 2-h period, her plasma sodium level raised to 121 mmol/L, but her symptoms persisted. Considering that rapid plasma sodium correction was necessary, we started 3% saline solution overnight. Her plasma sodium level raised to 132 mmol/L and her symptoms completely resolved. Clinical and laboratory findings were consistent with a diagnosis of SIADH. In the absence of any other triggering factors, we concluded that the condition was likely associated with the vaccination. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for hyponatremia, particularly SIADH, associated with SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination.

Learning points

Reports of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis hormone secretion after receiving severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination are limited.

If nausea, headache, and confusion are observed immediately after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, clinicians should consider the presence of hyponatremia.

As similar case reports to date have presented with severe hyponatremia, prompt treatment may be required.
