Milk and Dairy Products in the Medicine and Culinary Art of Antiquity and Early Byzantium (1st–7th Centuries AD)
Authors: Rzeźnicka Zofia 
Published: September 2023

The following publication constitutes a continuation of a longstanding research conducted by both authors on nourishment, dietetics, pharmacology and gastronomy in the Late Antiquity and early Byzantium. The book was created based primarily on Greek medical treatises composed from the 1st to 7th century, but it takes into account data that originates outside of this collection.
The goal of the authors was to present the knowledge of the people in antiquity and Byzantium on milk and dairy products. To achieve that they attempted to translate into contemporary language the way of thinking of then doctors, and to present main points of the theory propagated by them. In particular, the authors have shown ways of utilizing aforementioned alimentary products as food and medicine. Thus, they consciously encroach the area of history of pharmacology and gastronomy. Even though the nature of their research led the authors to focus on conclusions in the field of the history of food and medicine, they also take up the issues related to society and economy of this period.

Characterized by severe and fatal arrhythmias induced by cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (CIR), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. To investigate the cardioprotective role of cardiac Ca2+/cAMP/adenosine signaling in AMI, the effects of L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCC) blocker Nifedipine (NIF) and Verapamil (VER), in the absence and presence of A1-adenosine receptors (A1R) blocker (DPCPX), on the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias (VA), atrioventricular block (AVB) and lethality (LET) induced by CIR in rats were evaluated. CIR was induced in adult male Wistar rats (290-320 g) by occlusion of the left anterior descendent coronary artery (10 min) followed by reperfusion (75 min). VA, AVB and LET incidences were evaluated by ECG analysis and compared between control (CIR group) and intravenously treated 5 min before CIR with NIF 1, 10, and 30 mg/kg (NIF+CIR groups) or DPCPX 100 µg/kg plus NIF 10 mg/kg (DPCPX+NIF+CIR group) and VER 1 mg/kg (VER+CIR group) or DPCPX 100 µg/kg plus VER 1 mg/kg (DPCPX+VER+CIR group). Serum levels of cardiac injury biomarkers (TCK and CK-MB) were quantified. In CIR group, VA, AVB and LET incidences were 90, 80 and 70%, respectively. In NIF+CIR group, incidence of VA was reduced to 50, 30 and 30%, AVB to 25, 10 and 20%, and LET to 25, 20 and 20%, and respectively. In DPCPX+NIF+CIR group, these incidences were not different from CIR group. TCK and CK-MB levels were similar in all groups. These results indicate that pharmacological modulation of the Ca2+/cAMP/adenosine signaling in cardiac cells by LTCC blockade and A1R stimulation could be a new strategy cardioprotective for human AMI therapy.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
In permanent magnet motor electrical submersible pump (PMM-ESP) applications, the motor can act as a powerful electric generator when well fluids from either an upward or downward flow initiate the pump to rotate and subsequently creates motor rotation. This uncontrolled voltage source presents a higher safety risk for service personnel and as a result, the American Petroleum Institute (API) has published Permanent Magnet Motor Safety, API 11S9 Recommended Practice, 1st edition March 2023 to address this concern; existing induction motor (IM) procedures can be adapted for use with PMM-ESP applications. The API 11S9 RP documents methods which can help users draft an original procedure or modify an existing IM procedure for running a PMM. These modifications may require use of additional equipment or methods to ensure worker safety. This paper will provide examples for how the API 11S9 RP can be used to develop detailed procedures for the safe handling of a PMM. The procedures may originate from operators, vendors or be a combined best practices document. Examples are given for updating existing procedures (for induction motors) along with crafting new PMM-specific troubleshooting methods via referencing sections within the API 11S9 RP. These examples should guide operators and service companies toward confidence in developing their own procedures for proper and safe handling of a PMM.
ESP Install in Multilayer Wells with Reduced Diameters and High Production Flow - Intake Bypass Project

Abstract
A significant portion of wells in Argentina are completed in 5½″ casings, these wells contain multiple production zones and are measured depth ranged from 3,000 to 10,000 ft. Most of the ESP applications are set between and below the production zones, in order to cool the system properly, shrouds are often used, but the limitation arises in high-flow operations due to the pressure drop in the shroud due to the reduced annular space, thereby, impeding efficient exploitation of the well.
The intake bypass system creates two flow paths, one intake within the shroud and one above the shroud, this guarantees a production flow free of pressure losses, dividing the total flow, reducing the flow speed that passes around the motor and taking away the risks of shroud collapsing due to high pressure differential. The Intake Bypass has two directional holes for avoiding erosion in the internal components and allowing a hydraulic balance such that the fluid derived through the shrouds guarantees the system cooling.
It was performed the installation in a well in the South of Argentina and in the short term, it has accomplished the project main objectives. An increase in production of 140% was recorded, comparing with previous installation. Furthermore, the fluid level over the pump (FLOP) was reduced by about 50%, optimizing well production. Simulations have predicted that 62% of the fluid is produced through the Intake Bypass and, the other 38% flows through the inside of the shroud, having an average speed of more than 2.5 ft/sec around the motor, cooling the system efficiently with a controlled heat rise that is within 10 deg C (T motor – T intake). This is supported by the registered temperatures in the downhole sensor (intake and motor); which are around the normal values for the ESP standard application in the field and correspond to the performed simulations. The first pilot installed is still in evaluation.
The Intake Bypass application is presented as a novel solution to produce high flows in reduced casing diameters, where the ESP is set between or below the production zones, forcing the usage of cooling systems such as the shrouds. In addition to that it results in energy savings by not forcing the system with an over elevation height that compensates for the loss of load.
Dual spaces for weak martingale Hardy spaces associated with rearrangement-invariant spaces

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Given a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb P)$ and a rearrangement-invariant quasi-Banach function space $X$, the authors of this article first prove the $\alpha$-atomic ($\alpha\in [1,\infty)$) characterization of weak martingale Hardy spaces $WH_X(\Omega)$ associated with $X$ via simple atoms. The authors then introduce the generalized weak martingale ${\rm BMO}$ spaces which proves to be the dual spaces of $WH_X(\Omega)$. Consequently, the authors derive a new John--Nirenberg theorem for these weak martingale ${\rm BMO}$ spaces. Finally, the authors apply these results to the generalized grand Lebesgue space and the weighted Lorentz space. Even in these special cases, the results obtained in this article are totally new.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Despite the looming land scarcity for agriculture, cropland abandonment is widespread globally. Abandoned cropland can be reused to support food security and climate change mitigation. Here, we investigate the potentials and trade-offs of using global abandoned cropland for recultivation and restoring forests by natural regrowth, with spatially-explicit modelling and scenario analysis. We identify 101 Mha of abandoned cropland between 1992 and 2020, with a capability of concurrently delivering 29 to 363 Peta-calories yr− 1 of food production potential and 290 to 1,066 MtCO2 yr− 1 of net climate change mitigation potential, depending on land-use suitability and land allocation strategies. We also show that applying spatial prioritization is key to maximizing the achievable potentials of abandoned cropland and demonstrate other possible approaches to further increase these potentials. Our findings offer timely insights into the potentials of abandoned cropland and can inform sustainable land management to buttress food security and climate goals.

Authors: Mello Manuel , Fusaro Martina , Aglioti Salvatore Maria 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Objective
The neuroscience of human empathy for pleasure and positive affect is an emergent, scarcely addressed topic. The main aim of this scoping review is to map the impact of this new research domain on the field of social and affective neuroscience.
Introduction
Most of the literature on empathy and affect sharing has hitherto focused on negative emotions, with a special focus on pain. However, understanding, sharing, and reacting to others’ pleasures is an evolutionarily and socially important function. Our scoping review addresses this gap in the literature and tries to unify the available information under the empathy for pleasure umbrella.
Inclusion criteria
This scoping review is intended to cover studies on empathy for positive emotions, pleasant sensory outcomes, and other rewards in healthy individuals and neurological/neuropsychiatric/neurodevelopmental disorders populations.
Methods
We will perform a systematic search in the Medline (PubMed), Embase (EMBASE.com), Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), and PsycINFO databases. Two authors will independently screen all titles, abstracts, and then full-text articles that meet the inclusion criteria. The year range of interest will be 2000-2022 and only journal articles published in English will be assessed. Data will be extracted and presented in tables and/or graphical representations to synthesize and describe the results. The extracted data will be reported in a comprehensive summary.
Results
The final manuscript is intended for submission to an indexed journal in mid-2023.
Conclusions
To our knowledge, the present scoping review will be the first to address the variety and heterogeneity of available evidence on human empathy for pleasure. We ultimately aim at perusing the growing literature on this far-reaching field of study and informing future research.

Published: September 2023

Abstract

Natural gas is the fastest growing source of fossil energy since the 1970s. Due to its economic and environmental benefits, natural gas is becoming more attractive to many countries every day. The properties of this product, as for example, the low combustion range characterizing it, make it one of the most used reliable sources known to date. Currently, it is the second most used energy source after oil. The GL1/Z plant -Arzew -SONATRACH Company is designed for the liquefaction of natural gas, which is an essential way of transporting gas over long distances. This liquefaction (at -160 ° C) is obtained by successive cooling through compressed refrigerants and then relaxed between two pressure stages. This liquefaction technique consumes a lot of gas considered as internal consumption. In addition to this loss, there is a certain amount of gas that is flared during startup which accounts for about 2/3 of the total amount of flared gas. The reduction of flared gases is important to reduce carbon emissions and rationally use natural gas. In this work we simulate by ASPEN-HYSYS software a three method of gas flare recovery such as power electric generation, LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas ), and GTL technology (Gas to liquids) to evaluate natural gas resources of GL1/Z plant (SONATRACH Industry –Algeria).

Abstract
This study aims to identify dynamic patterns within the spatiotemporal feature space that are specific to non-psychotic major depression (NPMD), psychotic major depression (PMD), and schizophrenia (SCZ). It also evaluates the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms based on these network manifestations in differentiating individuals with NPMD, PMD, and SCZ. A total of 579 participants were recruited, including 152 patients with NPMD, 45 patients with PMD, 185 patients with SCZ, and 197 healthy controls (HC). A dynamic functional connectivity (DFC) approach was employed to estimate the principal FC states within each diagnostic group. Incremental proportions of data (ranging from 10–100%) within each diagnostic group were used for variability testing. DFC metrics, such as proportion, mean duration, and transition number, were examined among the four diagnostic groups to identify disease-related neural activity patterns. These patterns were then used to train a two-layer classifier for the four groups (HC, NPMD, PMD, and SCZ). The four principal brain states (i.e., states 1,2,3,4) identified by the DFC approach were highly representative within and across diagnostic groups. Between-group comparisons revealed significant differences in network metrics of state 2 and state 3, within delta, theta, and gamma frequency bands, between healthy individuals and patients in each diagnostic group (p < 0.01, FDR corrected). Moreover, the identified key dynamic network metrics achieved over 75% accuracy in the four-way classification of HC, NPMD, PMD, and SCZ, outperforming the static functional connectivity (SFC) approach. The findings suggest that the proposed DFC approach can identify dynamic network biomarkers at the single-subject level. These biomarkers have the potential to accurately differentiate individual subjects among various diagnostic groups of psychiatric disorders or healthy controls. This may contribute to the development of a valuable EEG-based diagnostic tool with enhanced accuracy and assistive capabilities.
‘Getting addicted to it and losing a lot of money … it’s just like a hole.’ A grounded theory model of how social determinants shape adolescents’ choices to not gamble
Authors: Hing Nerilee , Thorne Hannah , Lole Lisa , Sproston Kerry , Hodge Nicole , Rockloff Matthew 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Background
Gambling abstinence when underage lowers the risk of harmful gambling in later life. However, little research has examined why many young people refrain from gambling, even though this knowledge can inform protective strategies to reduce underage gambling. This study draws on the lived experience of adolescent non-gamblers to explore how social determinants while growing up have shaped their reasons and choices to not gamble.
Methods
Fourteen Australian non-gamblers aged 12–17 years participated in an in-depth interview or online community. Questions explored each participant’s gambling-related experiences while growing up, including exposure to gambling, gambling attitudes and behaviours of parents and peers, gambling advertising, simulated gambling and motivations for not gambling. The analysis used adaptive grounded theory methods.
Results
The grounded theory model identifies several reasons for not gambling, including not being interested in gambling, being below the legal gambling age, discouragement from parent and peers, concern about gambling addiction and harm, not wanting to risk money on a low chance of winning, and moral objections. These reasons were underpinned by several social determinants, including individual, parental, peer and environmental factors that can interact to deter young people from underage gambling. Key protective factors were parental role modelling and guidance, having friendship groups who avoided gambling, as well as critical thinking, rational gambling beliefs, financial literacy and having other hobbies and interests.
Conclusions
The participants’ choices to not gamble emanated from multiple layers of influence. This implies that multi-layered interventions, aligned with a public health response, are needed to deter underage gambling. At the environmental level, better age-gating for monetary and simulated gambling, and less exposure of children to promotional gambling messages, may assist young people to resist these influences. Interventions that support parents to provide appropriate role modelling and guidance for their children are also important. Youth education is needed and could include cautionary tales from people with lived experience of gambling harm, and education to increase young people’s financial literacy, ability to recognise marketing tactics, awareness of the risks and harms of gambling, and how they might resist peer and other normalising gambling influences.

Abstract
Black flounder (Paralichthys orbignyanus, Pleuronectiformes) is an economically important marine fish with aquaculture potential in Argentina. In this study, we sequenced the whole genome of this species using an Illumina sequencing technology. We started with two independent libraries (from one female and one male; each with 150 bp paired-end reads, a mean insert length of 350 bp, and > 35 X-fold coverage). The assemblies yielded a genome size of ~ 538 Mbp. Analysis of the assemblies at the core gene level revealed that more than 98% of the core genes were present, with more than 78% of them having more than 50% coverage. This indicates a somehow complete and accurate genome at the coding sequence level. This genome contains 25,231 protein-coding genes, 445 tRNAs, 3 rRNAs, and more than 1,500 non-coding RNAs of other types. On the other hand, in vertebrates the number of transposable elements (TEs) is related to genome size, but it remains unclear whether the size of introns and exons also plays a role. Therefore, the main objective of the present study was to determine whether the small genome size of Black flounder and other Pleuronectiformes is related to the size of their introns and exons. Indeed, Black flounder, along with pufferfishes, seahorses, pipefishes and anabantid fish appear to have smaller genomes than most other teleost groups. We performed a comparative genomic analysis between Black flounder and other teleost order, in order to determine if the small genomic size could be explained by gene features, including the whole genome genes and introns sizes. We show that the smaller genome size of flounders can be attributed to several factors, including changes in the number of repetitive elements, and decreased gene size, particularly due to lower amount of very large and small introns. Thus, these components appear to be involved in the genome reduction in Black flounder.

Abstract

Background
There is a need for valid and reliable measures of determinants of sustainability of public health interventions in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric and pragmatic properties of such a measure – the Integrated Measure of PRogram Element SuStainability in Childcare Settings (IMPRESS-C).
Methods
We undertook a two-phase process guided by the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement INstruments checklist (COSMIN) and Psychometric and Pragmatic Evidence Rating Scale (PAPERS). Phase 1 involved measure development; i.e., determining items and scales through an iterative process and assessment of face and content validity. Phase 2 involved the evaluation of psychometric and pragmatic properties. The 29-item measure completed by service executives (directors and nominated supervisors) was embedded in a larger survey from a national sample of Australian ECEC services assessing their implementation of nutrition and physical activity programs. Structural validity, concurrent validity, known groups validity, internal consistency, floor and ceiling effects, norms, and pragmatic qualities of the measure were assessed according to the PAPERS criteria.
Results
The final measure contained 26 items, with respondents reporting how strongly they agreed or disagreed on a five-point Likert scale. Phase 1 assessments confirmed the relevance, and face and content validity of the scale. In Phase 2, we obtained 482 completed surveys, of which 84% (n = 405) completed the entire measure across 405 ECEC settings (one per service). Three of the four fit indices for the confirmatory factor analysis met the pre-specified criteria (SRMR = 0.056, CFI = 0.993, RMSEA = 0.067) indicating good structural validity. The IMPRESS-C illustrated: good internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alpha values from 0.53 to 0.92; emerging concurrent validity; good known groups validity, with one hypothesis supported; good norms; and good overall pragmatic qualities (cost, readability, length, and assessor burden).
Conclusions
The IMPRESS-C possesses strong psychometric and pragmatic qualities for assessing service executive-level perceptions of determinants influencing sustainment of public health interventions within ECEC settings. To achieve a full range of perspectives in this setting, future work should be directed to also develop and test measures of sustainability determinants at the implementer level (e.g., among individual educators and staff).
