Interaction between Creation and Appreciation: How Linguistic Art Creation Impacts the Aesthetic Evaluation of Haiku Poetry and Ink Paintings
Authors: Hitsuwari Jimpei , Nomura Michio 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In the psychology of aesthetics, compared to appreciation, there are fewer studies on art creation. This study aims to examine the influence of art creation on appreciation using haiku poetry with reference to the Mirror Model—a process model combining creation and appreciation. Although the model has been primarily used to examine visual arts, we examine its applicability to linguistic arts. In addition, we use ink painting to examine whether a generalization across artistic genres can occur. The 115 participants were divided into two conditions—creation and control. The former created haiku before and after appreciation, while the latter did not create any haiku. The results showed no improvement in evaluation through creation. Additionally, recognizing the difficulty related to creation leads to aesthetic evaluation, and this relationship is mediated by awe. These results expand the existing information regarding the Mirror Model in terms of the different art genres.

AbstractIn the boreal summer of 2022, Pakistan suffered record rainfall that led to severe flooding and left more 30 million people homeless. At the same time, a severe heatwave persisted over central China. The concurrence of these extreme events suggests a possible linkage. Our analysis of climatic data indicated that the record rainfall was triggered by an extratropical cold-dry northerly associated with European blocking interacting with an unusually strong warm-moist southerly flow from the Arabian Sea at Pakistan. Both flows joined with an easterly anomaly induced by La Niña over the northern Indian subcontinent, which resulted in strong convergence. Wave activity flux analysis indicated that the European blocking, flooding in Pakistan, and heatwave in China were teleconnected by a stationary Rossby wave-like pattern. The rainfall in Pakistan may have induced diabatic heating that forced an upper-level anomalous anticyclone downstream and strengthened the heatwave in central China.

Abstract

FexOy iron oxide nanoparticles are nanostructured materials that have been extensively studied nowadays. They can be produced by different methods of synthesis. However, to obtain magnetite nanoparticles it is necessary to use an inert atmosphere during synthesis. This work aimed to produce magnetite NPs by the synthesis of nanostructured iron oxide powders using the controlled precipitation method without the need for an inert atmosphere. The synthesis was carried out using iron chloride, iron sulfate and ammonium hydroxide as reagents. In the synthesis process, temperature, dripping time and stirring speed of the mixture were controlled. The powders were characterized by structural (XRD, FTIR) and morphological (TEM) analysis. The results show particles ranging from 4 to 10 nm, with partially spherical morphology. It was possible to produce magnetite NPs without the use of an inert atmosphere, and, therefore, the synthesis by the controlled precipitation method is efficient. The photocatalytic activity tests showed over 80% degradation of the methylene blue dye within a period of 120 min.

Abstract
Background
Despite a high paediatric tuberculosis (TB) burden globally, sensitive and specific diagnostic tools are lacking. In addition, no data exist on the impact of pulmonary TB on long-term child lung health in low- and middle-income countries. The prospective observational UMOYA study aims 1) to build a state-of-the-art clinical, radiological, and biological repository of well-characterised children with presumptive pulmonary TB as a platform for future studies to explore new emerging diagnostic tools and biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment response; and 2) to investigate the short and long-term impact of pulmonary TB on lung health and quality of life in children.
Methods
We will recruit up to 600 children (0–13 years) with presumptive pulmonary TB and 100 healthy controls. Recruitment started in November 2017 and is expected to continue until May 2023. Sputum and non-sputum-based samples are collected at enrolment and during follow-up in TB cases and symptomatic controls. TB treatment is started by routine care services. Intensive follow-up for 6 months will allow for TB cases to retrospectively be classified according to international consensus clinical case definitions for TB. Long-term follow-up, including imaging, comprehensive assessment of lung function and quality of life questionnaires, are done yearly up to 4 years after recruitment.
Discussion
The UMOYA study will provide a unique platform to evaluate new emerging diagnostic tools and biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment response and to investigate long-term outcomes of pulmonary TB and other respiratory events on lung health in children.

Abstract
There are no reports on hip kinetics including contact forces and muscle activities during the golf swing after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of three-dimensional dynamics during the golf swing. Ten unilateral primary THA patients participated in motion capture test of their driver golf swing. The driver swing produced approximately 20–30° of rotation in both lead and trail replaced hips. The mean hip contact forces (HCFs) of lead and trail replaced hips were 5.1 and 6.6 x body weight, respectively. Left and right THAs showed similar HCFs of lead and trail hips. More than 60% of the Percent maximum voluntary isometric contraction was found in bilateral iliopsoas muscles in all unilateral THA. Three factors [male sex, higher modified Harris Hip Score, and lower HCF of surgical side] had a negative effect on the golf-related replacement hip pain. Golf is an admissible sport after THA because driver swings do not contribute excessive rotation or contact forces to hip prostheses. HCF could be reduced through swing adjustments, which may allow patients with golf-related replacement hip pain to develop a comfortable golf game free from pain. Subject terms: total hip arthroplasty, golf, motion analysis, contact force, muscle activity

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that secondary metabolites of Bacillus subtilis strain Z15 (BS-Z15) are effective in treating fungal infections in mice. To evaluate whether it also modulates immune function in mice to exert antifungal effects, we investigated the effect of BS-Z15 secondary metabolites on both the innate and adaptive immune functions of mice, and explored its molecular mechanism through blood transcriptome analysis. The study showed that BS-Z15 secondary metabolites increased the number of monocytes and platelets in the blood, improved NK cell activity and phagocytosis of monocytes-macrophages, increased the conversion rate of lymphocytes in the spleen, the number of T lymphocytes and the antibody production capacity of mice, and increased plasma levels of IFN-γ, IL-6, IgG and IgM. The blood transcriptome analysis revealed 608 differentially expressed genes following treatment with BS-Z15 secondary metabolites, all of which were significantly enriched in the Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes terms for immune-related entries and pathways such as TNF and TLR signaling pathways, and upregulated expression levels of immune-related genes such as C1qb, C4b, TCR and RFX5. BS-Z15 secondary metabolites were shown to enhance innate and adaptive immune function in mice, laying a theoretical foundation for its development and application in the field of immunity.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The recent discovery of superconductivity in paramagnetic UTe2 turns spotlight on a serious candidate for spin-triplet state. It exhibits highly unusual transport and magnetic properties which are extremely sensitive to pressure. To draw a complete picture of the superconducting state in UTe2 precise knowledge of the electronic properties of the 5f states of Uranium is missing. We report on x-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism experiments performed at the U- M4,5 edges at 2.7 K. In the normal phase the 5f electron count is found to be close to 2.8 at ambient pressure. Partial delocalization of the 5f electrons is further confirmed by the reduced value of the U orbital to spin magnetic moment ratio deduced from the XMCD spectra. X-ray absorption measurements under applied pressure show that the 5f count is reduced by 0.2 electrons pointing out an increase of the valency towards U4+ at the transition to a magnetically ordered state at Pc ≈ 1.5 GPa. Surprisingly, at pressures above 4 GPa, the 5f count increases towards U3+. This points out a change of the electronic structure in the tetragonal phase observed by x-ray diffraction above 4 GPa with a new superconducting state. The observed valence instabilities and their interplay with magnetism seem to be important ingredients to understand the electronic structure in UTe2 in different phases.

Abstract
Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension is the new onset of high blood pressure after 20 weeks of gestation in women with previously normal blood pressure. To the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted in our country to investigate the association between this pregnancy problem and iron-folic acid supplementation. The aim of this was determine the association between iron-folic acid supplementation and pregnancy-induced hypertension in pregnant women at public hospitals in the Wolaita Sodo Zone.
Methods: An institution-based case-control study was conducted among pregnant women who came to public hospitals in the Wolaita Sodo zone from March 3, 2022, to August 30, 2022. A consecutive sampling method was used to select the study participants. The total sample size was 492; of that, 164 were cases and 328 were controls. The data were gathered by reviewing the women's medical records and measurements and conducting face-to-face interviews using a pretested questionnaire. The information was entered into EpiData version 4.6 and exported to STATA 14. Finally, the data were analyzed by a logistic regression model using this STATA software. Those variables with a p-value less than 0.05 were declared statistically significant. Descriptive statistics and odds ratios were presented using texts, tables, and figures.
Results: A total of 471 women participated in this study, yielding a response rate of 96%. Cases had a mean age of 25 ± 4.43 and controls had a mean age of 25 ± 3.99. The mean age at first pregnancy among cases was 20 ± 2.82 and among controls was 20 ± 2.97. The average number of deliveries for cases and controls were 1.97 ± 1.41and 1.95 ± 1.38 respectively. Pregnant women with high hemoglobin levels had higher odds of pregnancy-induced hypertension as compared to those without it (AOR= 3.65; 95% CI: 1.0-12.9). Eating Kocho (AOR= 14.4; 95%CI: 1.2-167) was positively associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension. There is no significant association between iron-folic acid supplementation during pregnancy and pregnancy-induced hypertension.
Conclusions: Pregnant women with high hemoglobin levels had higher odds of pregnancy induced hypertension as compared to those without it. There is no association between iron-folic acid supplementation during pregnancy and pregnancy-induced hypertension. Measuring hemoglobin levels during a pregnant woman's first visit is done routinely in all cases. More strong designs should be done.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) after hemorrhage is potentiated by aortic occlusion or resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). Given the central role of mitochondrial injury in shock, we hypothesized that Elamipretide, a peptide that protects mitochondria, would mitigate IRI after hemorrhagic shock and REBOA.
Methods: Twelve pigs were subjected to hemorrhagic shock and 45 minutes of REBOA. After 25 minutes of REBOA, animals received either saline or Elamipretide. Animals were transfused with autologous blood during balloon deflation and pigs were resuscitated with isotonic crystalloids and norepinephrine for 4.25 hours.
Results: Elamipretide-treated animals required less crystalloids than the controls (62.5 [50-90] and 25 [5-30] mL/kg, respectively), but similar amounts of norepinephrine (24.7 [8.6-39.3] and 9.7 [2.1-12.5] mcg/kg, respectively). Treatment animals had a significant reduction in serum creatinine (control: 2.7 [2.6-2.8]; Elamipretide: 2.4 [2.4-2.5] mg/dL; p=0.04), troponin (control: 3.20 [2.14-5.47] ng/mL, Elamipretide: 0.22 [0.1-1.91] ng/mL; p=0.03), and interleukin-6 concentrations at the end of the study. There were no differences in final plasma lactate concentration.
Conclusions: Elamipretide reduced fluid requirements and protected the kidney and heart after profound IRI. Further understanding the subcellular consequences of REBOA and mitochondrial rescue will open new therapeutic avenues for patients suffering from IRI after hemorrhage.

Abstract

The Brazilian Amazon has undergone an intense process of urbanization responsible for changes in the land use and land cover patterns in the last decades. Therefore, understanding the impacts resulting from the urbanization of Amazon become urgent, both to preserve biodiversity and associated ecosystem functions and services, since Amazon region comprise a key ecosystem regarding biodiversity and ecological dynamics. We studied, for the first time, the impact of urbanization on dung beetles, a recognized bioindicator group, in Amazonian landscapes. For this, we assessed the dung beetle taxonomic and functional responses along a preserved-rural-urban habitat gradient in an Amazonian city, and how landscape predictors affect dung beetle diversity. We found a consistent shift in species composition and reduction of both taxonomic and functional diversity from forest patches located outside the city towards those located in the city core. In addition, forest cover was the main driver of dung beetle responses at the landscape scale, where the increase of forest cover positively affected dung beetle diversity. Our results provide evidence that urbanization negatively impacts the dung beetle taxonomic and functional diversity in Amazonian cities, and reinforce the importance of maintaining forest cover to conserve dung beetles in tropical forests. Finally, the development of sustainable initiatives for the conservation of biodiversity in urban landscapes, such as public policies aimed at the maintenance of urban forest fragments, can help to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem processes within cities and to mitigate the urbanization impacts.

Abstract

Responses to arts and entertainment media offer a valuable window into human behaviour. Many individuals worldwide spend the vast majority of their leisure time engaging with video content at home. However, there are few ways to study engagement and attention in this natural home viewing context. We used motion-tracking of the head via a web-camera to successfully measure real-time cognitive engagement in 132 individuals while they watched 30 minutes of streamed theatre content at home. Head movement was negatively associated with engagement across a constellation of measures. Individuals who moved less reported feeling more engaged and immersed, evaluated the performance as more engaging, and were more likely to express interest in watching further. Our results demonstrate the value of in-home remote motion tracking as a low-cost, scalable metric of cognitive engagement, which can be used to collect audience behaviour data in a natural setting.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Metal organic framework (UiO-66 (Zr) was synthesized using polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and used as an adsorbent for extraction and preconcentration of steroid hormones in river water. Polyethylene waste bottles were used as the source of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) ligands. Various analytical characterization techniques were employed to characterize the synthesized material. The steroid hormones were detected and quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). The results were further validated using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Experimental variables, such as sample pH, mass of adsorbent and extraction time, were optimised using Box-Behnken design (BBD). The dispersive solid phase extraction method combined with HPLC-DAD, displayed good linearity (0.004–1000 µg/L) low limits of detections (LODs, 1.1–16 ng/L for ultrapure water and 2.6–5.3 ng/L for river water) and limits of quantification (LOQs, 3.7–5.3 ng/L for ultrapure water and 8.7–11.0 ng/L for river water samples) and acceptable extraction recoveries (86–101%). The intraday (n = 10) and interday (n = 5) precisions expressed in terms of relative standard deviations (%RSD), were all less than 5%. The steroid hormones were detected in most of the river water samples (Vaal River and Rietspruit River). The DSPE/HPLC method offered a promising approach for simultaneous extraction, preconcentration and determination of steroid hormones in water.

Abstract
Solar hot air drying is a food dehydration method that is quickly gaining traction in South Asia due to its very low capital and operational cost. The long drying time and high temperature are the primary sinks of product quality in this process. The deterioration of cosmetic quality of food due to exposure to high temperatures over prolonged durations is an economical challenge as well since it results in a portion of dried product to be discarded. The objective of this work was to reduce the energy consumption and drying time, while obtaining a product quality competitive with energy extensive methods. To achieve this objective, a combined desiccant-convection-radiation dryer was designed and tested. A solar powered thermally regenerated desiccant dehumidifier was installed upstream of a Hot air – Microwave combined food dehydrator. The experimental results were compared with and without desiccant dehumidification. ‘Solanum tuberosum’ potato was cut into 3 mm thick slices and identical control samples of the potato slices were dehydrated using Hot air drying at 60 oC, Microwave drying at 1 kW Microwave power, Combined Hot air – Microwave drying, and Desiccant assisted Microwave – Convection drying. The drying time of the control sample with Desiccant assisted Hot air – Microwave drying was found to be the lowest, resulting in 81.7% reduction in drying time compared to Hot air Convection drying, 27.7% compared to MW drying and 13.3% compared to Microwave – Convection drying. The color retention was also found to be the highest for Desiccant assisted Microwave – Convection drying. The dried potato slices preserved 87.8% of their original color with this method, which is comparable to the results that are obtained with Freeze Drying.
