Authors: Barber Marsha , Rauhala Ann 
Published: May 2023

<p>This is the first academic study to attempt to understand more about the men and women who make key decisions in television newsrooms across Canada. The authors surveyed all television news directors across the country. The research reveals that, unlike in the United States, the voting patterns of news directors mirror those of the general Canadian population. It reveals that news directors are more secular than those in the general population. The research also uncovered significant demographic differences between CBC and private sector news directors. Finally, it suggests that women and ethnic minorities are dramatically underrepresented in senior positions.</p>

Balancing the Books: How Student Employment During the Semester Affects Academic Achievement
Authors: Barber Marsha , Levitan Julia 
Published: May 2023

<p>This study addresses the perceived impact of university students’ outside employment on academic performance and emotional well-being. A number of studies (Blaga 2012, Wenz and Yu 2012, Torres et al. 2010) have found that university students who work to support their studies achieve lower grades and experience more stress. Students at a Canadian university were given anonymous surveys which yielded information on whether they worked, what kind of work they did, and hours a week devoted to that work. They were also asked qualitative questions about their ability to balance their work and their studies, and their beliefs about the impact of outside work on their academic achievement and well-being. The findings suggest that the majority of students, given the choice, would not choose to do outside work. The majority of students believe that such work negatively affects their ability to excel at their academic work. The majority also mentioned stress as an important associated factor. However, a minority of students believe there are advantages to working during the semester, including learning how to manage time and developing a strong work ethic. The study will be of interest to psychologists, counsellors, academics and others who work with students within a post-secondary setting.</p>

Integrating vertex and edge features with Graph Convolutional Networks for skeleton-based action recognition
Authors: Liu Kai , Gao Lei , Khan Naimul , Qi Lin , Guan Ling 
Published: May 2023

<p> </p>
<p>Methods based on Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) for skeleton-based action recognition have achieved great success due to their ability to exploit graph structural information from skeleton data. Recently, the bone information has attracted considerable attention as an effective modality which complements the more conventional joint information for action recognition. However, most existing GCN-based methods extract the joint and bone features with two separate GCN networks, ignoring the dependencies between them. In this paper, a novel GCN model is proposed to exploit the information across joints, bones and their relationship collaboratively on a single undirected graph instead of two separate networks. We call the proposed model Vertex-Edge Graph Convolutional Network (VE-GCN) since it conducts the graph convolution operation on the sampling area containing the designated vertexes from joints and edges from bones, respectively. In addition to conducting the Vertex-Edge graph convolution based on the physical connections of the skeleton, we further apply the Vertex-Edge graph convolution to the non-physical joint-joint and joint-bone connections to capture the distal dependencies, and then the convolution results on the non-physical connections are incorporated into the VE-GCN. Moreover, the Conditional Random Field (CRF) is adopted as the loss function to achieve the task of action recognition. Experimental results on four challenging benchmarks (NTU RGB+D, NTU RGB+D 120, N-UCLA, SYSU) show that the proposed model achieves state-of-the-art performance.</p>

Published: May 2023

Diabetes mellitus leads to long-term complications involving multiple organs and systems of the human body. Among the list of complications, a relatively vascular complication increases the morbidity of the condition. Patients with diabetes mellitus are influenced by various factors like hyperglycaemic state, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and metabolic condition like obesity, and all the mentioned conditions also present with platelet hyperactivity. Mean platelet volume (MPV) can be used as one of the laboratory parameters to know the function and activation of the platelets, which reflects the vascular profile of the patient. So, the present study compares the values of mean platelet volume among the diabetic groups to determine the relation between the vascular complication and the mean platelet volume. This study was conducted with 90 participants, who were divided into three groups. Group A is non-diabetics, group B is type 2 Diabetics, and Group C is type 2 Diabetics with vascular complications and MPV. On analyzing the statistical mean value of mean platelet volume, group B's (type 2 diabetics) value was higher than group A's (non-diabetics) and statistically significant with a p – value of 0.001. Similarly, the mean value of group C (type 2 diabetes with complications) was higher than group B (type 2 diabetics) and statistically significant with a p – value of 0.049 in the diabetics with and without vascular complications. On comparing the MPV of different study groups, the MPV is higher in the diabetic group with complicatiosn compared with the diabetics without complications.

Larval development of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus: effect of enriched rotifers as live food
Authors: Ospina-Salazar Gloria Helena , Miranda-Baeza Anselmo , Zea Sven 
Published: May 2023

Understanding nutrition and its effect on growth is essential for developing diets in commercially important species. This study aimed to evaluate the larval development of Callinectes sapidus fed with rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) enriched with Chlorella pyrenoidosa (Ch) as a main protein source and a lipid emulsion (Spr) rich in highly unsaturated fatty acids. The enriched compositions had seven ratios Ch/Spr (w/w): 100/0, 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50, and 40/60. The enriched rotifers with each ratio were called diets. Lipids increased progressively between 100/0 and 40/60 (7.48 to 11.30 g 100 g-1), as well as energy (21.88 to 23.16 kJ g-1), but the protein level did not show a clear trend (63.93 and 67.50 g 100 g-1). The production response of blue crab larvae showed significant differences within diets (P &lt; 0.05). The highest survival (29 to 34%) was obtained in the 50/50 and 40/60 treatments. In the 40/60, 50/50, and 60/40 diets, the larval cycle was shorter (P &lt; 0.05), and the megalopa stage was reached between 49 and 52 days of culture. Metamorphosis to megalopa occurred between the fifth and eighth molts; its corresponding weight varied from 0.72 to 1.33 mg, the length varied from 2,632 to 2,926 µm, and Le Cren´s condition factor varied from 0.83 to 1.16. The most important factor in the production response was the diet lipid content, which was significantly correlated with the survival, weight, length, and condition factor of C. sapidus larvae. Findings of the present study can be applied in future efforts towards mass culture of blue crab larvae in the Caribbean and can also potentially be used to study other crustacean species with similar characteristics.
Productivity enhancement in L-lysine fermentation using oxygen-enhanced bioreactor and oxygen vector
Authors: Wang Jinduo , Wang Shuo , Zhao Siyu , Sun Pengjie , Zhang Zhen , Xu Qingyang 
Published: May 2023

Introduction: L-lysine is a bulk product. In industrial production using high-biomass fermentation, the high density of bacteria and the intensity of production require sufficient cellular respiratory metabolism for support. Conventional bioreactors often have difficulty meeting the oxygen supply conditions for this fermentation process, which is not conducive to improving the sugar-amino acid conversion rate. In this study, we designed and developed an oxygen-enhanced bioreactor to address this problem.Methods: This bioreactor optimizes the aeration mix using an internal liquid flow guide and multiple propellers.Results: Compared with a conventional bioreactor, it improved the kLa from 367.57 to 875.64 h-1, an increase of 238.22%. The results show that the oxygen supply capacity of the oxygen-enhanced bioreactor is better than that of the conventional bioreactor. Its oxygenating effect increased the dissolved oxygen in the middle and late stages of fermentation by an average of 20%. The increased viability of Corynebacterium glutamicum LS260 in the mid to late stages of growth resulted in a yield of 185.3 g/L of L-lysine, 74.57% conversion of lysine from glucose, and productivity of 2.57 g/L/h, an increase of 11.0%, 6.01%, and 8.2%, respectively, over a conventional bioreactor. Oxygen vectors can further improve the production performance of lysine strains by increasing the oxygen uptake capacity of microorganisms. We compared the effects of different oxygen vectors on the production of L-lysine from LS260 fermentation and concluded that n-dodecane was the most suitable. Bacterial growth was smoother under these conditions, with a 2.78% increase in bacterial volume, a 6.53% increase in lysine production, and a 5.83% increase in conversion. The different addition times of the oxygen vectors also affected the final yield and conversion, with the addition of oxygen vectors at 0 h, 8 h, 16 h, and 24 h of fermentation increasing the yield by 6.31%, 12.44%, 9.93%, and 7.39%, respectively, compared to fermentation without the addition of oxygen vectors. The conversion rates increased by 5.83%, 8.73%, 7.13%, and 6.13%, respectively. The best results were achieved by adding oxygen vehicles at the 8th hour of fermentation, with a lysine yield of 208.36 g/L and a conversion rate of 83.3%. In addition, n-dodecane significantly reduced the amount of foam produced during fermentation, which is beneficial for fermentation control and equipment.Conclusion: The new oxygen-enhanced bioreactor improves oxygen transfer efficiency, and oxygen vectors enhance the ability of cells to take up oxygen, which effectively solves the problem of insufficient oxygen supply during lysine fermentation. This study provides a new bioreactor and production solution for lysine fermentation.
