Published: February 2023

INTRODUCTION:
Limited data are available regarding the association between liver cirrhosis (LC) and the risk of herpes zoster (HZ). This study aimed to determine the risk of HZ in patients with LC.

METHODS:
HZ was defined as the presence of the International Classification of Diseases-10th revision code for HZ and concomitant prescription of antiviral medication. The incidence rates and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of HZ in patients with LC were analyzed using data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service in Korea claims database from 2009 to 2019.

RESULTS:
A total of 504,986 Korean patients with LC were included. The mean age was 52.4 years, and 60.8% were men. Chronic hepatitis B was the most common cause of LC. The incidence rates for HZ and HZ-related hospitalization were 21.6 of 1,000 and 1.81 of 1,000 person-years, respectively. The SIRs for HZ and HZ-related hospitalization were 1.09 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08–1.09) and 1.48 (95% CI: 1.44–1.52), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the general population. Patients with LC aged 20–29, 30–39, and 40–49 years had SIRs for HZ of 1.41 (95% CI: 1.33–1.48), 1.16 (1.13–1.19), and 1.17 (1.13–1.19), respectively. In multivariable analysis, woman (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR]: 1.48), steroid (AHR: 1.20), immunosuppressant use (AHR: 1.26), and combined comorbidities were associated with an increased risk of HZ among patients with LC.

DISCUSSION:
Patients with LC, particularly those who are not currently recommended for HZ vaccination, were at an increased risk of HZ and HZ-related hospitalization compared with the general Korean population.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
The flexibility of production systems is a key factor for Industry 4.0. Capabilities and skills (C&Ss) aim at improving engineering flexibility along the production system life-cycle by decoupling production processes and resources. However, traditional reuse approaches in production systems engineering, such as the VDI 3695, do not yet consider C&Ss. This paper proposes the Capability and Skill Reuse (CSR) framework to define how VDI 3695 activities require adaptation for C&S models. The paper analyzes how the framework can facilitate reuse along the production system life-cycle and identifies open issues for research.

Abstract
Thymoquinone is a valuable metabolite derived from the Nigella sativa L. seeds and has a variety of therapeutic properties. Thymoquinone was estimated using n-hexane:ethyl acetate (8:2, v/v) green solvent system and computed at a wavelength of 254 nm using the high-performance thin-layer chromatography densitometry method in distinct varieties and genotypes congregated from different geographical regions. Genotype Ajmer Nigella-13 has the paramount thymoquinone content (247.60 µg/100 mg seed) followed by Ajmer Nigella 19 (244.5 µg/100 mg seed), while the lowest amount of thymoquinone was recorded in the genotype Ajmer Nigella-6 (42.88 µg/100 mg seed). The hierarchical cluster analysis found that the collected genotypes and elite varieties were classified into four broad clusters, and the identified chemotypes with elevated thymoquinone proportion were positioned in cluster D. Significant genotypic variation in thymoquinone content is available, that can be used in exploiting pharmaceutical applications of N. sativa L. as well as a breeding programme for specific metabolite improvement perspective.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Few studies focused on the roles of high glucose combined with high lipid in placental development or fetal growth. This study was designed to investigate the roles of high glucose combined with high lipid in mitochondrial dysfunction of JEG-3 cells. We determined the cellular proliferation and apoptosis, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), and lactic acid dehydrogenase in control group, high glucose group, high lipid group, and high glucose and high lipid group, together with the mitochondrial dysfunction, Nrf2, HO-1, SMAC, and cytochrome C (Cyt-C) expression. Significant decrease of SOD and significant elevation of MDA was seen in high glucose and high lipid group compared with the other three groups. There was significant decrease in mitochondrial SMAC and Cyt-C in high glucose group, high lipid group, and high glucose and high lipid group compared with those of control group. Nrf2 and HO-1 protein expression in high glucose combined with high lipid group showed significant decrease compared with that of high lipid group or high glucose group. We speculated that combination of high glucose and high lipid induced oxidative stress in JEG-3 cells, and Nrf2/ARE pathway may be related to this process.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Using data from 5474 banks located in 23 OECD countries over the period 2019Q2–2022Q1, we study the influence of COVID-19 on bank profitability (before and during the COVID-19 vaccination period). Our results show a negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on bank profitability, especially at the onset of the health crisis. In addition, we find that vaccination against COVID-19 had a positive effect on bank profitability, not yet sufficient to compensate for the losses generated at the beginning of the pandemic. Finally, we show that these effects depend on the characteristics of banks (notably size and capital) before vaccination and on the severity of the crisis across countries. Overall, we provide the first evidence of the influence of vaccination on bank behavior in terms of profitability.

Abstract
In this article, the welding technology of large diameter thick wall 08Cr9W3Co3VNbCuBN (G115) heat-resistant steel pipes for the main steam pipe of a 650°C ultra-supercritical power station boiler has been investigated, and the mechanical properties and microstructure of welded joints at different wall thickness positions have also been analyzed. The results show that the mechanical properties of narrow gap welded joint of 115 mm thick large diameter 08Cr9W3Co3VNbCuBN heat-resistant steel pipe obtained by Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) + shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) + automatic submerged arc welding (SAW) can meet the requirements of relevant standards after tempering at 780°C. The tensile failure of the welded joint occurs in the base metal zone far away from the weld, an obvious necking phenomenon appears at the fracture position, and the welded joint has good tensile properties. No δ ferrite phase was found in the weld and heat-affected zone (HAZ). The microstructures of each zone are tempered martensite.
Effect of inlet gas velocity on gas-solid fluidization characteristics in fluidized bed

Published: February 2023

Abstract
In this article, the Eulerian–Eulerian TFM model is used to simulate the fluidization of the synthesis process of organosilicon monomers. A new method for analyzing the gas-solid fluidization characteristics is proposed by combining the gas-solid two-phase flow evolution formula with the parameters such as particle concentration and bed voidage. On this basis, the fluidization characteristics of silicon powder particles at constant velocity and variable velocity are compared, and the fluidization characteristics of silicon powder particles with different particle sizes under five sets of variable velocity are discussed. The simulation results show that compared with constant velocity, the mean bed voidage is 0.55 when silicon particles adopt variable velocity, which can not only keep silicon particles fully fluidized but also improve the problem of poor gas-solid contact. For silicon particles with particle diameters of 300.1–515 μm, variable velocity fluidization has the advantages of uniform bed distribution and sufficient gas-solid fluidization. In the five groups of variable velocity function, when the inlet gas velocity and time are the quadratic functions of the opening upward, the fluctuation of pressure fluctuation is small, and the maximum fluctuation range of particle solid phase distribution is only 0.13, indicating that the heat and mass transfer efficiency between silicon particles is better, the gas-solid mixing is sufficient, and the gas-solid fluidization quality is better.
A Study of Academic Library through the Prism of Knowledge Use and Problem Solving Networks
Authors: Ujwary-Gil Anna 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The article describes a social network approach to understanding the relationships between academic library employees: knowledge use network and problem solving network with the division into strong and weak ties. The author collected the data based on a semi-structured interview and a questionnaire on a selected population of library staff in a major academic library in Poland. Then, collected data was analyzed through the non-parametric network statistics tests (quadratic assignment procedure [QAP] and multiple regression quadratic assignment procedure [MRQAP]) to test dependencies occurring in social networks of librarians. The results show a relationship between knowledge use and problem solving based on strong and weak ties between librarians, with the beta for weak ties higher than for strong ties. The network methodology is becoming a critical research approach used to understand the informal structures and complexity of the academic library. Thus, it is a valuable tool in the hands of library directors.
It’s the emotion, stupid! Emotional responses to televised debates and their impact on voting intention

Published: February 2023

Abstract
How do emotional responses to televised debates impact on voting intention? The present article addresses this question drawing on an original dataset combining survey data and real-time responses gathered in the run-up of the 2017 German federal election. The paper contributes to three major discussions in the literature of political science and psychology. First, we show that emotional responses to media stimuli are independent explanatory factors influencing post-debate voting intention while in part mediating real-time evaluations of candidate statements. Second, our analysis demonstrates that the impact of emotional responses to televised debates can barely be deemed to be structured along one single dimension of valence but that discrete emotions show distinct effects. Third, the paper supports the notion that anger and enthusiasm have an indirect impact on voting intention by increasing the weight of political predisposition and reducing the weight of evaluation of current information on candidates’ issue stances in televised debates. We also find empirical evidence for the indirect effect of anxiety as well; it reverses the pattern and reduces the weight of political conviction while increasing the importance of evaluations about candidate statements. However, the latter finding does not seem to be very robust as in fact, substitutions are also able to generate this pattern. Finally, the paper reviews implications of the findings and discusses limitations and future perspectives of research.

Abstract
Mushrooms are highly perishable in nature and deteriorate within a few days after harvesting due to their high respiration rate and delicate epidermal structure. Consequently, the shelf-life of freshly harvested mushroom is limited to 1–3 days at ambient condition. Hence, the current investigation was carried out to study γ-irradiation effects (1.5 and 2.0 kGy) and essential oils (EOs) fumigation including geranium (60 and 80 μL/L) and lemongrass (40 and 60 μL/L) on nutritional quality (Vitamins C and D2) as well as bio-ingredients such as total soluble proteins, phenolic and flavonoids contents, antioxidant activity were determined as an origin of potential natural antioxidant plus the profile of phenols and flavonoids identified by HPLC. As well as activities of some enzymes (PPO, SOD, PAL, and APX) of Agaricus bisporus mushroom at 4 °C during storage time for twelve days. The findings showed that there was a reduction in the contents of Vit. C and vitamin D2 in all mushroom samples during storage, where the essential oil treatment especially 60 μL/L of geranium and 40 μL/L of lemongrass gave the least decrease (3.42 and 3.28 mg/100 g FW, respectively) of ascorbic acid content compared to the other treatments while the irradiated samples (1.5, and 2.0 kGy) gave the lowest decrease of vitamin D2 (106.30 and 114.40 mg/kg DW, respectively) at the end of storage time. The content of the bio-ingredients content was affected by the storage periods, and the samples treated with oil fumigation gave the best content and the same trend happened with the antioxidant activity. The enzymes activity increased by the storage period, especially after 4 days of storage, and then the activity decreased after that. Quantification of phenolic and flavonoid compounds affected by storage periods in all treatments and the EO-treated mushrooms gave the best amount of them. Thus, samples of mushrooms treated with oil fumigation especially 60 μL/L of geranium and 40 μL/L of lemongrass can successfully increase the nutritional value plus maintain the value of the mushrooms during storage time.
Effect of chemical additives on oil shale natural floatability

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Improving the organic content in oil shale before retorting is a substantial target. The flotation process is proven as a good separation process for hydrophobic particles from their associated impurities. In this study, the natural floatability and the flotation with different types of reagents were investigated to show how effective these reagents are in improving their organic content (kerogen). Frothers such as pine oil and kerosene and collectors such as oleic oil and amine acetate were tested. The results indicated that the addition of any used reagent negatively affects the oil shale floatability. The descending order of flotation using chemical reagents, in terms of combustible grade and recovery, is natural floatability, with frothers, then with collectors. The grade and recovery of the naturally floated fraction are 18% and 92.7%, respectively, from 8.75% in the feed sample. The low dosage from either oleic acid or pine oil effectively reduced the grade and recovery to about 15% and 86%, respectively. Chemical reagents stand as barriers to particle–bubble attachment. The presence of higher dosages of frother leads to the agglomeration of the smaller organic particles, which leads to lower grades and recovery. While collectors play a significant role in increasing the flotation of inorganic particles rather than the organics.

Abstract
Charcoal-based materials have attracted much attention for the removal of pharmaceutical agents. The charcoal-based carbon materials have green synthetic routes, high surface area, numerous active site with active functional groups available for physico-chemical interactions with adsorbate for surface-adsorptive removal of toxins. In this study, acid treated activated carbon was developed from the peach seeds using thermal pyrolysis approach. Phosphoric acid activated carbon (PAC) was further modified by HNO3 and employed as an adsorbent for the removal of amoxicillin and paracetamol and process variables were optimized for enhanced removal of amoxicillin and paracetamol. The adsorption of pharmaceutical agents was significantly affected by temperature, pH and reaction time. The amoxicillin and paracetamol sorption process onto PCA followed a pseudo second order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum removal capacity of 51.8 mg/g and 51.1 mg/g, respectively. The results revealed that acid activated carbon has promising efficiency for the removal of amoxicillin and paracetamol from aqueous medium and peach seeds derived PCA could be employed for the removal of these pharmaceutical agents from effluents and PAC is also extendable for the removal of other drugs from pharmaceutical wastewater streams.

Rapid and Chronic Ethanol Tolerance Are Composed of Distinct Memory-Like States inDrosophila
Authors: Larnerd Caleb , Adhikari Pratik , Valdez Ashley , Del Toro Alexander , Wolf Fred W. 
Published: February 2023

Ethanol tolerance is the first type of behavioral plasticity and neural plasticity that is induced by ethanol intake, and yet its molecular and circuit bases remain largely unexplored. Here, we characterize the following three distinct forms of ethanol tolerance in maleDrosophila: rapid, chronic, and repeated. Rapid tolerance is composed of two short-lived memory-like states, one that is labile and one that is consolidated. Chronic tolerance, induced by continuous exposure, lasts for 2 d, induces ethanol preference, and hinders the development of rapid tolerance through the activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs). Unlike rapid tolerance, chronic tolerance is independent of the immediate early geneHr38/Nr4a. Chronic tolerance is suppressed by the sirtuin HDACSirt1, whereas rapid tolerance is enhanced bySirt1. Moreover, rapid and chronic tolerance map to anatomically distinct regions of the mushroom body learning and memory centers. Chronic tolerance, like long-term memory, is dependent on new protein synthesis and it induces thekayak/c-fosimmediate early gene, but it depends on CREB signaling outside the mushroom bodies, and it does not require the Radish GTPase. Thus, chronic ethanol exposure creates an ethanol-specific memory-like state that is molecularly and anatomically different from other forms of ethanol tolerance.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe pattern and concentration of initial ethanol exposure causes operationally distinct types of ethanol tolerance to form. We identify separate molecular and neural circuit mechanisms for two forms of ethanol tolerance, rapid and chronic. We also discover that chronic tolerance forms an ethanol-specific long-term memory-like state that localizes to learning and memory circuits, but it is different from appetitive and aversive long-term memories. By contrast, rapid tolerance is composed of labile and consolidated short-term memory-like states. The multiple forms of ethanol memory-like states are genetically tractable for understanding how initial forms of ethanol-induced neural plasticity form a substrate for the longer-term brain changes associated with alcohol use disorder.

Published: February 2023

El presente trabajo describe la experiencia del proyecto Los siete ratones ciegos dan la vuelta al mundo desarrollado en la Escuela Primaria Bilingüe Emiliano Zapata del Sector 02 de Educación Indígena del estado de Puebla, México, y cómo profesores, alumnos y alumnas, madres y padres, así como colaboradoras y colaboradores de todos los rincones del mundo, se unieron para celebrar el Día Internacional de las Lenguas Maternas.
Igualmente propone una reflexión acerca de las implicaciones tanto pedagógicas como interculturales y humanas de un ejercicio colectivo. Desde la perspectiva crítica tanto de la literacidad como del análisis del discurso y de la diversidad lingüística, se da cuenta de cómo se articula lo escolar-académico, lo literario y lo personal e identitario, así como lo emotivo, en un ejercicio horizontal y transversal de construcción de saberes dentro de la educación intercultural. A través del ejercicio pedagógico descrito se logró que los estudiantes indígenas de esta escuela conformaran su identidad desde el valor de su primera lengua en el diálogo con otras lenguas y no desde la concepción de grupo vulnerable.
