Published: March 2023

Background: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one such common disorder among dental health care personnel caused due to the entrapment neuropathy of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. We aimed to evaluate the pooled estimates of the CTS among dental healthcare personnel. Methods: We systematically reviewed the existing literature from six databases till January 1st, 2022. Studies reported in English along with the prevalence of CTS or where prevalence could be calculated were included. Independent screening of title and abstracts, and the full text was done by two examiners. Information collected was authors, year of publication, geographic location, type of dental healthcare personnel, sample size, distribution of age, sex, CTS, method of diagnosis, and risk of bias. The random effect model was used to estimate the pooled estimates. Results: Thirty-seven studies yielded 38 estimates. A total of 17,152 dental health care personnel were included of which 2717 had CTS. The overall pooled prevalence of CTS among the included studies was 15%, with a high heterogeneity. Meta-analysis showed no significant difference in the pooled estimates of CTS between male and female dental healthcare personnel (OR: 0.73; 95% CI: 0.52 -1.02; I2= 69.71). The pooled estimates among the dentist and dental auxiliaries were 20% and 10%, respectively. The pooled prevalence of CTS with self-reported measures, clinical examination and NCS were 21%, 13% and 8% respectively. Meta-regression showed that the prevalence estimates were significantly associated with publication year (coefficient: 0.006; 95% CI= 0.002-0.01). Conclusion: One out of seven dental health care personnel may be affected by CTS. No significant difference was seen in the prevalence of CTS between male and female dental healthcare personnel.

Published: March 2023

Background: The fungal component of the gut microbiome has been underrepresented in most gut microbiome studies. While next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches have been used to assess the diversity and role of the gut mycobiome, differences in experimental design and downstream analyses may induce bias and differential outcomes. This study assessed the capacity of nanopore sequencing to retrieve the microbial profile and relative abundance of a mock fungal community comprised of Candida glabrata, Meyerozyma guilliermondii, Pichia kudriavzevii, Clavispora lusitaniae and Candida parapsilosis. Methods: The approach was implemented using the MinION system and involved the analysis of sequencing libraries made from equimolar mixtures of the PCR-amplified internal transcriber spacer genomic regions of the target species. Results: Nanopore sequencing successfully retrieved the composition of the fungal mock community in terms of the different taxa present. However, the approach was unable to correctly assess the expected relative abundances of each species in the same community, showing some yet undetermined bias that may be related to the size of the respective target DNA fragments. Clavispora lusitaniae was consistently overrepresented in the mixtures, while C. glabrata was underrepresented. The remaining three species showed relative abundances more aligned with the expected values of an equimolar mixture. Conclusions: Although not yielding the expected results for the relative abundances, the values obtained from independent sequencing runs were similar for all species, suggesting a good reliability but questionable accuracy in this sequencing approach.

Authors: Nyma Zannatun , Rahman Mahfuzur , Das Subhasish , Alam Md Ashraful , Haque Enamul , Ahmed Tahmeed 
Published: March 2023

Objective
To measure the efficacy of school-based nutrition education on dietary diversity of the adolescent girls in Bangladesh.

Methods
A matched, pair-cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted from July 2019 to September 2020. Randomization was done to select intervention and control schools. There were 300 participants (150 in the intervention and 150 in the control arm) at baseline. We randomly selected our study participants (adolescent girls) from grades six, seven, and eight of each school. Our intervention components included parents’ meetings, eight nutrition education sessions, and the distribution of information, education, and communication materials. An hour-long nutrition education session was provided using audio-visual techniques in a class of intervention school once a week by trained staffs of icddr,b for two months. Data on dietary diversity, anthropometry, socio-economic and morbidity status, a complete menstrual history, and haemoglobin status of adolescent girls were collected at recruitment and after five months of intervention. We calculated the mean dietary diversity score of adolescent girls at baseline and at the endline. As the dietary diversity score was incomparable between the control and intervention arm at baseline, we performed the difference-in-difference analysis to assess the effect of the intervention.

Results
Mean age of the adolescent girls was 12.31 years and 12.49 years in the control and intervention arms respectively. Percentages of consumption of organ meat, vitamin A-rich fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds were higher in the intervention arm than in the control arm at the end-line. The mean dietary diversity score remained unchanged in the control arm at 5.55 (95% CI: 5.34–5.76) at baseline and 5.32 (95% CI: 5.11–5.54) at the endline. After the intervention, mean dietary diversity increased from 4.89 (95% CI: 4.67–5.10) at baseline to this mean was 5.66 (95% CI: 5.43–5.88) at the endline. Result from the difference-in-difference analysis revealed that the mean dietary diversity was likely to increase by 1 unit due to intervention.

Conclusion
The shorter duration of the intervention in our study could not show whether it could change the behavior of adolescent girls in increasing dietary diversity through school-based nutrition education, but it showed a pathway for increasing dietary diversity at school. We recommend including more clusters and other food environment elements in retesting to increase precision and acceptability.

Published: March 2023

Background
The increased procoagulant platelets and platelet activation are associated with thrombosis in COVID-19. In this study, we investigated platelet activation in COVID-19 patients and their association with other disease markers.

Methods
COVID-19 patients were classified into three severity groups: no pneumonia, mild-to-moderate pneumonia, and severe pneumonia. The expression of P-selectin and activated glycoprotein (aGP) IIb/IIIa on the platelet surface and platelet-leukocyte aggregates were measured prospectively on admission days 1, 7, and 10 by flow cytometry.

Results
P-selectin expression, platelet-neutrophil, platelet-lymphocyte, and platelet-monocyte aggregates were higher in COVID-19 patients than in uninfected control individuals. In contrast, aGPIIb/IIIa expression was not different between patients and controls. Severe pneumonia patients had lower platelet-monocyte aggregates than patients without pneumonia and patients with mild-to-moderate pneumonia. Platelet-neutrophil and platelet-lymphocyte aggregates were not different among groups. There was no change in platelet-leukocyte aggregates and P-selectin expression on days 1, 7, and 10. aGPIIb/IIIa expression was not different among patient groups. Still, adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced aGPIIb/IIIa expression was lower in severe pneumonia than in patients without and with mild-to-moderate pneumonia. Platelet-monocyte aggregates exhibited a weak positive correlation with lymphocyte count and weak negative correlations with interleukin-6, D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase, and nitrite.

Conclusion
COVID-19 patients have higher platelet-leukocyte aggregates and P-selectin expression than controls, indicating increased platelet activation. Compared within patient groups, platelet-monocyte aggregates were lower in severe pneumonia patients.
Receptivity of injured and aged coconut petiole for oviposition by
red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: Shelke Rajan , Cheradil Andrea 
Published: March 2023

Red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera:
Curculionidae) is a key pest of palm-based ecosystem. Globally R.
ferrugineus is reported from 50 countries infecting 40 palm species. R.
ferrugineus are attracted to wounded, damaged, dying palms or apparently
healthy palms. R. ferrugineus gains entry into a palm when female weevils
are drawn to palm tissue volatiles to lay eggs. The females use the rostrum
to bore into palm tissue to form a hole for oviposition. Because of its
cryptic feeding habit management of R. ferrugineus is difficult leading to
death of palms. The laboratory study was conducted with the aim to assess
the ovipositional preference of injured and aged coconut petiole (var.
Benaulim) to red palm weevil R. ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).
Results reveals that freshly injured coconut petiole was most preferred for
egg laying by R. ferrugineus (mean egg lay: 4.11) and was statistically at
par with one and two-day old, injured coconut petiole, indicating that
injuries and wounds on coconut petiole between 0-2 days after damage emit
palm volatiles that are most attractive to female R. ferrugineus adults for
egg laying. It concludes that injured part should be treated with effective
insecticides immediately after damage to prevent further losses.
Qualification of the use of plant yield-enhancing products with
photosynthetic and growth parameters
Authors: Szőke Zsombor , Babicz Szabolcs , Basal Oqba , Veres Szilvia 
Published: March 2023

In our experiment, we investigated the effect of some of the most
commonly used plant conditioners and yield enhancers in production of
nursery-gardens and reference plantations, which are based on
photosynthetic and growth parameters of saplings and productive stocks. The
one-year old apple sapling was UEB 3177/1 variety, commertially called
Sirius. In addition to the growth parameters (such as shoot length and stem
diameter), the total chlorophyll and carotenoid contents, which determine
photosynthetic activity, were also examined in both nursery-gardens and
reference plantations. The individual and combined application of
yield-enhancing and conditioning agents were involved in a total of six
treatments.
The application of iron and flavonoid containing preparation alone
or in combination resulted a significant difference in total chlorophyll
content compared to the control stock. In the case of the studied growth
parameters, the combination of the flavonoid and humic acid containing
preparations and the sole use of flavonoid agent proved to be the most
effective in the longitudinal growth of the sapling. In the terms of trunk
size, the combination of the same formulation proved to be the best
treatment compared to the control stock. Our results may have been
influenced by weather conditions, they can be considered as preliminary
results, and our studies should be repeated in the next growing season to
draw valid conclusions.

Corrosion inhibition by imidazoline and imidazoline derivatives: a review
Authors: Sriplai Nipaporn , Sombatmankhong Korakot 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Imidazoline and imidazoline derivatives are extensively employed as effective corrosion inhibitors due to their low toxicity, low cost and environmental friendliness. Their chemical structure consists of a 5-membered heterocyclic ring (C3N2H4) with two nitrogen atoms that are readily adsorbed onto metal surfaces. Also, a pendant side chain or alkyl amine substituent acts as an anchor that helps to maintain its adsorption on steel surfaces. The tail portion is a long hydrocarbon chain that can form a hydrophobic film on a surface. These molecular structures make it very attractive as a starting point for several enhancements in corrosion inhibition research. Moreover, modification of an imidazoline structure can be more effective in enhancing its effectiveness in corrosion inhibition. This review compiled all information regarding imidazoline and imidazoline derivatives used as effective corrosion inhibitors in the petroleum industry. It includes their chemical structures and properties, synthesis processes, characterisation and performance evaluations. The review also gives an overview of various types of imidazoline inhibitors with their preparation processes, metal types, corrosive media and concentration range for measurements.
The acquisition of L3 French present simple and present progressive by adult L1 Chinese speakers of L2 English
Authors: Kong Stano 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe study examines the acquisition of L3 French present form by advanced L2 English learners of L1 Chinese within the framework of theTypological Primacy Model(TPM) of Rothman (2011) and theInterpretability Hypothesisof Tsimpli and Dimitrakopoulou (Tsimpli, Ianthi-maria & Maria Dimitrakopoulou. 2007. The Interpretability Hypothesis: Evidence from wh-interrogatives in second language acquisition.Second Language Research23. 215–242. The meaning-form distinction of the present form in relation to habitual and event-in-progress interpretations varies between French, English, and Chinese, but is constrained by the presence/absence of tense and agreement features. Thirty-two adult L1 Chinese speakers of high proficiency L2 English/low proficiency L3 French and thirty adult L1 Chinese speakers of low proficiency L2 English together with a native English control group and a French control group were invited to take part in an acceptability judgement test. The results provide partial support to the TPM, which posits that the perceived typological similarity between L3 and the previously acquired languages conditions transfer in L3 initial state. The findings are, instead, more consistent with theInterpretability Hypothesis, which assumes the inaccessibility of uninterpretable syntactic features in subsequent language acquisition. What remain available in adult multilingual acquisition are interpretable syntactic features, computational devices, and other aspects of Universal Grammar (UG).

Paris: Selaf) dictionary data has shown that 1) elements that appear in the plural but are absent in the singular are unpredictable and therefore part of the lexical ingredients of the root; 2) the plural template has a constant size of 5 CV units.
Social Unrest Prediction Through Sentiment Analysis on Twitter Using Support Vector Machine: Experimental Study on Nigeria’s #EndSARS
Authors: Oladele Temidayo Michael , Ayetiran Eniafe Festus 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Social unrest is a powerful mode of expression and organized form of behavior involving civil disorders and acts of mass civil disobedience, among other behaviors. Nowadays, signs of most social unrest start from the social media websites, such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. In recent times, Nigeria has faced different forms of social unrest, including the popular #EndSARS, which began on Twitter with a demand that government disband the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a unit under the Nigerian Police Force for alleged brutality. Mining public opinions such as this on social media can assist the government and other concerned organizations by serving as an early warning system. In this work, we collected user tweets with #EndSARS from Twitter and pre-processed and annotated them into positive and negative classes. A support vector classifier was then used for classifying the sentiment expressed in them. Experimental results show 90% accuracy, 94% precision, 85% recall, and 89% F1 score on the test set. The codes and dataset are publicly available for research use.

Nihilism: Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Now
Authors: Stewart-Kroeker Peter 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn this article, I discuss how Nietzsche’s critique of nihilism concerns the complicity between Christian morality and modern atheism. I unpack in what sense Schopenhauer’s ascetic denial of the will signifies a return to nothingness, what he calls thenihil negativum. I argue that Nietzsche’s formulation of nihilism specifically targets Schopenhauer’s pessimism as the culmination of the Western metaphysical tradition, the crucial stage of its intellectual history in which the scientific pursuit of truth finally unveils the asceticwill to nothingnessthat motivates it. I contend that Nietzsche’s critique of Schopenhauer anticipates current scholarly debates around the significance of thenihil negativumand offers a compelling objection against contemporary proponents of philosophical nihilism such as Eugene Thacker and Ray Brassier.

Ein neuartiger T-förmiger 14-Elektronen-Iridium(I)-Komplex stabilisiert durch eine agostische Ir–H-Wechselwirkung
Authors: Heinemann Jan , Mayer Peter , Böttcher Hans-Christian 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe reaction of [{Ir(µ-Cl)(coe)2}2] (1, coe =cis-cyclooctene) with the bulky tertiary phosphane P(o-tolyl)3in dichloromethane at room temperature was investigated. It afforded in good yield the tri-coordinate iridium(I) complex [IrCl{P(o-tolyl)3}2] (2) which was characterized in the solid state by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study revealing a molecular structure of a rare tri-coordinate complex. The iridium(I) complex is stabilized by an agostic interaction of a hydrogen atom from the methyl group of the bulky phosphane ligand to fill the fourth unsaturated coordination site. The title compound crystallized from dichloromethane/diethyl ether as orange crystals in a mixture of two modifications (monoclinicP21/c,2a, and orthorhombicPbca,2b). The co-existence of the two components as a nearly 1:1 mixture in the crystalline bulk material was supported by solid-state31P{1H} NMR measurements.
