Breeding of Himalayan Vulture Gyps himalayensis Hume, 1869 (Aves: Accipitriformes: Accipitridae) in the Assam State Zoo, Guwahati, Assam, India
Authors: Ranade Sachin , Gore Jay , Kumar Ashwini 
Published: July 2023

Himalayan Vulture Gyps himalayensis has been bred successfully at the Assam State Zoo, Guwahati in 2022. This is the first record of captive breeding of the species in India. The adults were kept in a display aviary in the Zoo where they constructed a nest on ground and laid an egg. The nestling was hand reared in temperature and humidity-controlled boxes and air-conditioned room. It was fed on goat meat and bone pieces and the consumption records maintained. The records of weight gain and body growth were maintained. It took about five months to fledge out.

BACKGROUND:
Heart failure remains a global health burden, and patients hospitalized are particularly at risk, but genetic associates for subsequent death or rehospitalization are still lacking.

METHODS:

The genetic substudy of the ASCEND-HF trial (Acute Study of Clinical Effectiveness of Nesiritide in Decompensated Heart Failure) was used to perform genome-wide association study and transethnic meta-analysis. The overall trial included the patients of self-reported European ancestry (n=2173) and African ancestry (n=507). The end point was death or heart failure rehospitalization within 180 days. Cox models adjusted for 11 a priori predictors of rehospitalization and 5 genetic principal components were used to test the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms and outcome. Summary statistics from the 2 populations were combined via meta-analysis with the significance threshold considered
P
<5×10
−

.

RESULTS:

Common variants (rs2342882 and rs35850039 in complete linkage disequilibrium) located in
FGD5
were significantly associated with the primary outcome in both ancestry groups (European Americans: hazard ratio [HR], 1.38;
P

; African ancestry: HR, 1.51;

).
FGD5
encodes a regulator of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor)-mediated angiogenesis, and in silico investigation revealed several previous genome-wide association study hits in this gene, among which rs748431 was associated with our outcome (HR, 1.20; meta
P
<0.01). Sensitivity analysis proved
FGD5
common variants survival association did not appear to operate via coronary artery disease or nesiritide treatment (
P
>0.05); and the signal was still significant when changing the censoring time from 180 to 30 days (HR, 1.39;
P
=1.59×10

).

CONCLUSIONS:

In this multiethnic genome-wide association study of ASCEND-HF, single-nucleotide polymorphisms in
FGD5
were associated with increased risk of death or rehospitalization. Additional investigation is required to examine biological mechanisms and whether
FGD5
could be a therapeutic target.

Abstractive Meeting Summarization: A Survey
Authors: Rennard Virgile , Shang Guokan , Hunter Julie , Vazirgiannis Michalis 
Published: July 2023

AbstractA system that could reliably identify and sum up the most important points of a conversation would be valuable in a wide variety of real-world contexts, from business meetings to medical consultations to customer service calls. Recent advances in deep learning, and especially the invention of encoder-decoder architectures, has significantly improved language generation systems, opening the door to improved forms of abstractive summarization—a form of summarization particularly well-suited for multi-party conversation. In this paper, we provide an overview of the challenges raised by the task of abstractive meeting summarization and of the data sets, models, and evaluation metrics that have been used to tackle the problems.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the spatial and temporal distribution of shrimp species in the Lake Nokoué-Cotonou Channel complex for an efficient management of the fishery. The results of one year sampling from five stations (North, South, East, Central and West) in the complex revealed the following proportions: Penaeus notialis 73.68%, Macrobrachium macrobrachion 13.81%, Macrobrachium vollenhovenii 5.36%, Penaeus monodon 2.68%, Macrobrachium felicinum 2.20%, Penaeus kerathurus 1.72%, Macrobrachium cf. zariquieyi 0.27%, and Macrobrachium equidens 0.27%. The species M. cf. zariquieyi and M. equidens were never reported from Benin, but are now found in Lake Nokoué. Spatially, Penaeus (Penaeus notialis) are more abundant in the west (Acadja concentration zone), while Macrobrachium (Macrobrachium macrobrachion) are more dominant in the east (near the Ouémé entrance) and north (near the Sô entrance) of the lake. Penaeus are strongly present in the lagoon complex from January to August, while Macrobrachium are more abundant in Lake Nokoué from September to December. Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed that increasing salinity, pH, transparency and total dissolved solids (TDS) positively influenced the abundance of P. notialis, while increasing salinity, pH, transparency, and TDS negatively influenced the abundance of M. macrobrachion at the 5% significance level. For an efficient management of the shrimp fishery, it is desirable that the shrimp fishery in Lake Nokoué, mainly in the Cotonou Channel, which is a very sensitive area for their seasonal migrations, benefits from at least three months of respite per year, from November to January. This period corresponds to the strong migration of juvenile Penaeus towards the lake. This should allow many Penaeus to grow up and breed at least once in their lives, according to the species’ life cycle presented.
Ennode, Ep. 6,9. Un complément à Cassiodore, Var. 1,9 ?
Authors: Zhou Zhihuan 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Ennodius, Ep. 6,9 is an enquiry addressed to a high politician Faustus Niger, in order to help an anonymous bishop in trouble. We do not have any other further information about it. This article developed a hypothesis that the anonymous bishop may be the bishop of Aosta, Northern Italy, accused of proditio patriae, according to Cassiodorus, Var. 1,9. However, on the contrary of other bishops, accused of such a serious crime, who were usually exiled, the above mentioned bishop of Aosta is considered as innocent by Theodoric the Great. This could be because of the help of Faustus Niger, mentioned in the Ep. 6,9. In this case, we see how a clerk intervenes in a political affair and the collaboration of an ecclesiastical member and a government official of high rank.
Sustainability in Publishing
Authors: Horton Richard 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This article is a transcript of the London Book Fair’s inaugural sustainability keynote delivered by Dr Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet. Horton delivers a challenge to the publishing sector to consider how sustainability sits alongside the ever-increasing uncertainties in the world, such as the ongoing pandemic and Ukrainian crisis. He spoke about the important role that publishing plays as an early warning system for society, introducing the concept of planetary health that demands consideration of a safe and just space for humanity alongside respect for planetary boundaries and the social and economic foundations of a healthy life. Horton finishes with three key challenges to publishers: to stand for something, to invest in our future, and protect the freedom of expression.
Sustainable and Profitable Growth in Publishing
Authors: Engelstädter Jörg , Fisk Peter 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The challenge of generating new growth while remaining sustainable and profitable was the central theme of the 2022 Future Book Forum held by Canon Europe. The event gathered leading publishers, book producers, distributors, and industry influencers from across Europe to discuss ways to make the publishing industry fit for the future in terms of its environmental and financial health. Key themes that emerged included the concept of how to design for purpose, thinking through how the sector uses raw materials. There is also the need to tell the story of publishing to connect emotionally to customers and satisfy the growing demand for sustainable purchasing. Finally, through interactive workshops many ideas were raised that required a sector-wide approach to challenge the established thinking and put sustainability at the heart of the sector. This article will outline the outcomes of the Future Book Forum and outline the next steps to bring action to the many ideas raised during the event.
Omission of the Word “Said” in Hadith Transmission: Ibn Shaqrun as a Model
Authors: Al Shabramy Abdullah bin Rashid 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This research discussed an important issue of the Science of Hadith, most specifically related to the features of riwayah al-Hadith and condition of its delivery. The main questions of this research are: Is it necessary to pronounce the word “said” or “saying” while narrating the chain of Hadith? And if this word omitted – purposively or not purposively –, does it cause a big problem according to the rules of The science of Hadith? And are there special conditions for oral delivery that differ from writing? Thus, this study aims to answer these questions by referring to the scholars’ views and their reasons while selecting Ibn Shaqrun – one of the great scholars of Hadith – as a model who is among the first scholars that discussed this issue. Ibn shaqrun’s views and perspectives in this regard are analyzed and evaluated by using an analytical critical method. The study finally resulted to the permission of omitting the word “Said” or “saying” in both writing and oral delivery of the Hadith.
Interpretation of Probabilistic Surface Ozone Forecasts: A Case Study for Philadelphia
Authors: Balashov Nikolay V. , Huff Amy K. , Thompson Anne M. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The use of probabilistic forecasting has been growing in a variety of disciplines because of its potential to emphasize the degree of uncertainty inherent in a prediction. Interpretation of probabilistic forecasts, however, is oftentimes difficult, deterring users who may benefit from such forecasts. To encourage broader use of probabilistic forecasts in the field of air quality, a process for interpreting forecasts from a statistical probabilistic air quality surface ozone model [the Regression in Self Organizing Map (REGiS)] is demonstrated. Four procedures to convert probabilistic to deterministic forecasts are explored for the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, metropolitan area. These procedures calibrate the predicted probability of daily maximum 8-h-average ozone exceeding a standard value by 1) estimating climatological relative frequency, 2) establishing a probability of an exceedance threshold as 50%, 3) maximizing the threat score, and 4) determining the unit bias ratio. REGiS is trained using 2000–11 ozone-season (1 May–30 September) data, calibrated using 2012–14 data, and evaluated using 2015–18 data. Assessment of the calibration data with the Pierce skill score suggests an exceedance threshold based on climatological relative frequency for the conversion from probabilistic to deterministic forecasts. Calibrated REGiS generally compares well to predictions from the U.S. national air quality model and operational “expert” forecasts over the evaluation period. For other probabilistic models and situations, different procedures of converting probabilistic to deterministic forecasts may be more beneficial. The methods presented in this paper represent an approach for operational air quality forecasters seeking to use probabilistic model output to support forecasts designed to protect public health.

Significance Statement
Because probabilistic forecasting is becoming more prevalent in the field of air quality, the purpose of this article is to draw attention to the importance of defining a framework to accurately interpret these forecasts. This work shows that 1) probabilistic forecasts are potentially more useful to forecasters when converted into deterministic forecasts and 2) that some conversion methods are more skillful than others. It is recommended that, if it begins to produce probabilistic air quality products, the National Weather Service should implement some of the strategies presented herein to help with the interpretation of such forecasts.
Ketamine-induced changes in resting state connectivity, 2 h after the drug administration in patients with remitted depression
Authors: Burrows Matthew , Kotoula Vasileia , Dipasquale Ottavia , Stringaris Argyris , Mehta Mitul A 
Published: July 2023

Background: Resting state connectivity studies link ketamine’s antidepressant effects with normalisation of the brain connectivity changes that are observed in depression. These changes, however, usually co-occur with improvement in depressive symptoms, making it difficult to attribute these changes to ketamine’s effects per se. Aims: Our aim is to examine the effects of ketamine in brain connectivity, 2 h after its administration in a cohort of volunteers with remitted depression. Any significant changes observed in this study could provide insight of ketamine’s antidepressant mechanism as they are not accompanied by symptom changes. Methods: In total, 35 participants with remitted depression (21 females, mean age = 28.5 years) participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) or saline. Resting state scans were acquired approximately 2 h after the ketamine infusion. Brain connectivity was examined using a seed-based approach (ventral striatum, amygdala, hippocampus, posterior cingulate cortex and subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC)) and a brain network analysis (independent component analysis). Results: Decreased connectivity between the sgACC and the amygdala was observed approximately 2 h after the ketamine infusion, compared to placebo ( pFWE < 0.05). The executive network presented with altered connectivity with different cortical and subcortical regions. Within the network, the left hippocampus and right amygdala had decreased connectivity ( pFWE < 0.05). Conclusions: Our findings support a model whereby ketamine would change the connectivity of brain areas and networks that are important for cognitive processing and emotional regulation. These changes could also be an indirect indicator of the plasticity changes induced by the drug.
Preputial advancement flap for delayed urethrocutaneous fistula of the glans following urethral insertion of an ‘AAA’ battery
Authors: Atayi Andrew A , Omar Ahmad M , Floyd Michael S 
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Foreign body insertion associated with sexual gratification is known as polyembolokoilomania. Following removal of the foreign body, long-term complications are infrequently seen. Whilst conservative and endoscopic approaches usually suffice, in extreme cases open surgical approaches are required. We describe an unusual case of polyembolokoilomania in a 25-year-old male involving a single ‘AAA’ battery who developed a urethrocutaneous fistula requiring delayed reconstructive surgery. Case presentation: Following an initial successful open extraction of an ‘AAA’ battery from the mid penile urethra the patient developed a delayed urethrocutaenous fistula of the glans. This was managed using a single stage closure with a preputial graft on its vascular pedicle thereby preserving the foreskin and avoiding a buccal graft. No intra-operative or post-operative complications occurred with a catheter left in situ for 2 weeks. Formal histology confirmed a foreign body type reaction. Following outpatient review successful cosmetic, functional, and sexual outcomes were recorded with questionnaires and medical photography. Conclusion: Preputial advancement flap with foreskin preservation for distal urethrocutaenous fistula is a successful method of treating delayed urethrocutaenous fistula of the distal urethra in cases of polyembolokoilomania.
Your Move: An Open Access Dataset of Over 1500 Board Gamer’s Demographics, Preferences and Motivations
Authors: Cross Liam , Piovesan Andrea , Sousa Micael , Wright Peter , Atherton Gray 
Published: July 2023

Intro This paper reports the demographics of a large sample of board gamers and their in-game motivations and preferences. Methods We report the specific preferences of 1603 board gamers (i.e. preferred platform, mechanics, style, theme, player count and game length) and player demographics, i.e. age, gender, education level as well as neurodivergence in this population. Participants were sampled via board game groups and game distributor mailing lists. Results Findings confirmed previous assumptions that board gamers are primarily middle-aged, university/college-educated, white males. We show that most gamers identify as mid-core/core with a preference for shorter, competitive Euro games. They tend to prefer in-person play with 3-4 players. However, a sizeable portion of the sample did not fit this description, showing a more complex picture. Discussion Results describe the population's demographics and detailed description of gamers preferred, mechanics, themes, components, preferences and motivations. An anonymised version of this data set is provided alongside this work for game designers and academics to explore further and cross-reference relationships between demographics and preferences/motivations. Considering that a quarter of the sample were neurodivergent (i.e. reported at least one mental health or neurodevelopmental condition) the dataset could also help clinicians who use board games as interventional tools. We hope this dataset (https://osf.io/tu8yq) will be helpful to board game designers, clinicians, educators, teachers, therapists and researchers interested in utilising board games to make informed choices about which games they use.

Published: July 2023

Objective: To report the burden of ADHD in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region from 1990 to 2019. Methods: Publicly available data on the burden of ADHD were retrieved from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019. The counts and age-standardized rates (per 100,000) were presented. Results: In 2019, ADHD had an age-standardized point prevalence of 1245.1 and a years lived with disability (YLD) rate of 15.1 per 100,000 in MENA, which were 7.2% (−11 to −3.3) and 7.2% (−11.2 to −2.7) lower, respectively, than in 1990. The highest YLD rate of ADHD was found in the 10 to 14 age group and there were no remarkable differences between males and females. No clear association was found between the YLD rate and the socio-demographic index. Conclusion: The burden of ADHD in the MENA region decreased over the period 1990 to 2019, and regularly updating the epidemiological information is suggested.
Evaluation of a pharmacist-led interprofessional chronic pain clinic in Canada
Authors: Jorgenson Derek , Halpape Katelyn 
Published: July 2023

Background: Chronic noncancer pain (CNCP) is a common condition that affects individuals at a biopsychosocial level and can significantly impair function and quality of life. Referral to an interprofessional CNCP program is recommended for most patients; however, these clinics are limited in number and capacity. Expanding access by testing new service delivery models would be of value. The purpose of this study was to measure the impact of a new pharmacist-led, interprofessional model of care developed at the University of Saskatchewan Chronic Pain Clinic. Methods: A retrospective chart audit was conducted using data that included adult patients referred for CNCP management between May 2020 and December 2021. Medication use, overall health status (using the Clinical Global Impression of Change–Improvement [CGI-I] scale) and patient readiness to change (using the Transtheoretical Model) were measured 6 months after the initial appointment. Results: The study included 138 patients. Of the 80 patients taking an opioid, 22.5% were switched to buprenorphine/naloxone and the remainder had their mean morphine-equivalent dose reduced by a mean of 41.7 mg/d. Overall patient health status was minimally improved and many patients moved into the Action stage of change. Discussion: Changes in opioid use demonstrate a clinically important shift toward safer medication regimens that are less likely to lead to toxicity and unintended overdose. CGI-I data suggest that these patients, whose health status is typically very difficult to change, did not deteriorate but slightly improved after attending the clinic. Conclusion: The unique pharmacist-led, interprofessional model of care used by the University of Saskatchewan Chronic Pain Clinic may offer a viable alternative to traditional physician-led models.
Changes in Physiological Indices Before and After Nursing Care of Postoperative Patients With Esophageal Cancer in the ICU
Authors: Kawano Takanori , Ono Hiroshi , Abe Masaki , Umeshita Koji 
Published: July 2023

Introduction Various stressors have been identified in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), including postoperative pain, ventilatory management, and nursing care. However, sedated patients are less responsive, and nurses have difficulty capturing their stressors. Objective To investigate patient stress caused by nursing care performed in the ICU on sedated patients based on changes in physiological indices. Methods We observed nursing care performed on patients with postoperative esophageal cancer under sedation in the ICU. This included endotracheal suctioning and turning, the time required for the care, and the patients’ behavioral responses. Information on arousal levels, autonomic nervous system indices, and vital signs were also obtained. The changes in indicators before and after care were then compared and analyzed. Results There were 14 patients in the study. The mean age of the patients was 68 years. Ninety-nine scenes of nursing care were observed, and in six of these, additional bolus sedation was administered because of the patient's significant body movements. In endotracheal suctioning, no significant changes were observed in all indicators. In turning, vital signs changed significantly, and when both were continued, all indicators changed significantly. Conclusion Our study found that different types and combinations of nursing care may cause different stresses to the patients. Moreover, the autonomic nervous system indices may be more likely to react to stresses in a variety of nursing care, while arousal levels may be more likely to react to burdensome stresses. If the characteristics of these physiological indicators can be understood and effectively utilized during care, it may be possible to better identify and reduce patient stress during sedation management.
