Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background
University students are a high-risk population for developing mental health issues. Mindfulness, the non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, has an effective role in numerous psychological contexts among students. However, no previous studies have investigated the association between mindfulness, mental health and wellbeing among Lebanese university students. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the mediating effect of mindfulness in the association between mental health and wellbeing in this population.

Methods
This cross-sectional study enrolled 363 Lebanese university students recruited through convenience sampling (July-September 2021). The Wellbeing Index Scale, Lebanese Anxiety Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire and Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory were used to assess subjective well-being, anxiety, depression and mindfulness respectively.

Results
Our findings showed that higher mindfulness (Beta = 0.18; p < 0.001) was significantly correlated with a higher wellbeing, whereas more depression (Beta=-0.36; p < 0.001) was significantly associated with a lower wellbeing. The results of the indirect effect analysis showed that mindfulness mediated the association between anxiety and wellbeing and between depression and wellbeing. Higher anxiety/depression were significantly associated with lower mindfulness and a lower wellbeing (direct effect). Moreover, higher mindfulness was significantly associated with a higher wellbeing.

Conclusion
Mindfulness is associated with improved wellbeing and plays an indirect role between mental health issues and wellbeing. Our results suggest that mindfulness presents an adaptive approach and coping method associated with improved students’ wellbeing.

AbstractIntroductionTuberculosis (TB) remains a highly stigmatised disease that can cause or exacerbate mental health disorders. Despite increased awareness of the importance of reducing TB stigma, validated tools to measure TB stigma remain scarce. This study aimed to culturally adapt and validate the Van Rie TB Stigma Scale in Indonesia, a country with the second largest TB incidence worldwide.MethodsWe validated the scale in three phases: translation, cultural adaptation, and psychometric evaluation. We invited diverse experts to an interdisciplinary panel for the cross-cultural adaptation, then performed a psychometric evaluation of the scale: exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis with Patient Health Questionnaire 9 [PHQ-9].ResultsWe culturally adapted the original scale's language and content during the translation and cultural adaptation phases. After psychometric evaluation with 401 participants in seven provinces of Indonesia, we removed two items. The new scale had two forms: (A) patient and (B) community perspective forms. Both forms had good internal consistency, with respective Cronbach's alpha values of 0.738 and 0.807. We identified three loading factors in Form A (disclosure, isolation, and guilty) and two loading factors in Form B (isolation and distancing). The scale showed correlation with PHQ-9 (Form A, rs = 0.347,p < 0.001; Form B, rs = 0).ConclusionsThe culturally adapted Indonesian version of Van Rie's TB Stigma Scale is comprehensive, reliable, internally consistent, and valid. The scale is now ready for applied scale-up in research and practice to measure TB-stigma and evaluate the impact of TB-stigma reduction interventions in Indonesia.
Functions of N6-methyladenosine in cancer metabolism: from mechanism to targeted therapy
Authors: He Jiayi , Liu Furong , Zhang Zhanguo 
Published: April 2023

AbstractN6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modification of eukaryotic mRNA and is involved in almost every stage of RNA metabolism. The m6A modification on RNA has been demonstrated to be a regulator of the occurrence and development of a substantial number of diseases, especially cancers. Increasing evidence has shown that metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer and is crucial for maintaining the homeostasis of malignant tumors. Cancer cells rely on altered metabolic pathways to support their growth, proliferation, invasion and metastasis in an extreme microenvironment. m6A regulates metabolic pathways mainly by either directly acting on metabolic enzymes and transporters or indirectly influencing metabolism-related molecules. This review discusses the functions of the m6A modification on RNAs, its role in cancer cell metabolic pathways, the possible underlying mechanisms of its effects and the implication of this modification in cancer therapy.
Redisposition of apiosporous genera Induratia and Muscodor in the Xylariales, following the discovery of an authentic strain of Induratia apiospora
Authors: Cedeño-Sanchez Marjorie , Schiefelbein Rahel , Stadler Marc , Voglmayr Hermann , Bensch Konstanze , Lambert Christopher 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background
The genus Induratia is based on Induratia apiospora, a xylarialean pyrenomycete from New Zealand with clypeate uniperitheciate stromata, hyaline apiospores and a nodulisporium-like anamorph. However, because of the lack of DNA data from the generic type, its phylogenetic affinities have remained unresolved. Recently, two fungal species with teleomorphs strikingly similar to Induratia were discovered in Thailand. However, they did not produce an anamorph and were found to be phylogenetically close to the species classified within the hyphomycete genus Muscodor, which was described after Induratia. Therefore, in 2020 the species of Muscodor were transferred to Induratia, and a new family Induratiaceae was proposed.

Results
We have encountered an unpublished ex-holotype strain of Induratia apiospora among the holdings of the ATCC collection, enabling detailed morphological and molecular phylogenetic investigations. We observed the characteristic nodulisporium-like anamorph described in the original publication. Phylogenetic analyses of multigene sequence data revealed a close relationship of Induratia apiospora to the Barrmaeliaceae, while a close relationship to the Induratia species formerly classified within Muscodor was rejected.

Conclusions
We here classify Induratia apiospora within the Barrmaeliaceae and consider Induratiaceae to be synonymous with the former. As the holotype specimen of Induratia apiospora is apparently lost, an isotype specimen from WSP is selected as lectotype. We also propose that the genus Muscodor is resurrected within the Xylariaceae, and formally transfer several Induratia species to Muscodor.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background
The venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) score is a multi-organ Doppler approach to assess venous congestion. Despite growing use of VExUS in research and clinical practice, other veins can be visualized to assess for venous hypertension, which may overcome acquisition barriers of the VExUS exam. In this pilot, observational study, we used a wearable Doppler ultrasound to assess the relationship between jugular venous Doppler and the VExUS score under different preload conditions. We hypothesized that jugular Doppler morphology would accurately distinguish preload conditions, that it would most closely relate to the hepatic venous Doppler morphology in the fully supine position and that the VExUS score would be influenced by preload condition.

Results
We recruited 15 healthy volunteers with no cardiovascular history. Preload change was achieved using a tilt-table with three positions: supine, fully upright, and 30-degree head-down tilt. In each position, a VExUS score was performed; furthermore, inferior vena collapsibility and sphericity index were calculated. At the same time, jugular venous Doppler was captured by a novel, wireless, wearable ultrasound system. A continuous jugular venous Doppler morphology was 96% accurate for detecting the low preload condition. The jugular venous Doppler morphology was highly correlated with the hepatic vein, but only in the supine position. Gravitational position did not significantly affect the sphericity index or the VExUS score.

Conclusions
The jugular vein Doppler morphology was able to accurately distinguish low from high preload conditions in healthy volunteers. Comparisons between VExUS Doppler morphologies and other veins should occur in the supine position when gravitational pressure gradients are minimized; finally, different preload conditions in healthy subjects did not affect the VExUS score.

AbstractThis study describes the composition and potential metabolic adaptation of microbial communities in northeastern Siberia, a repository of the oldest permafrost in the Northern Hemisphere. Samples of contrasting depth (1.75 to 25.1 m below surface), age (from ~ 10 kyr to 1.1 Myr) and salinity (from low 0.1–0.2 ppt and brackish 0.3–1.3 ppt to saline 6.1 ppt) were collected from freshwater permafrost (FP) of borehole AL1_15 on the Alazeya River, and coastal brackish permafrost (BP) overlying marine permafrost (MP) of borehole CH1_17 on the East Siberian Sea coast. To avoid the limited view provided with culturing work, we used 16S rRNA gene sequencing to show that the biodiversity decreased dramatically with permafrost age. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis placed the samples into three groups: FP and BP together (10–100 kyr old), MP (105–120 kyr old), and FP (> 900 kyr old). Younger FP/BP deposits were distinguished by the presence of Acidobacteriota, Bacteroidota, Chloroflexota_A, and Gemmatimonadota, older FP deposits had a higher proportion of Gammaproteobacteria, and older MP deposits had much more uncultured groups within Asgardarchaeota, Crenarchaeota, Chloroflexota, Patescibacteria, and unassigned archaea. The 60 recovered metagenome-assembled genomes and un-binned metagenomic assemblies suggested that despite the large taxonomic differences between samples, they all had a wide range of taxa capable of fermentation coupled to nitrate utilization, with the exception of sulfur reduction present only in old MP deposits.
The Girl in the Yellow Poncho
Authors: Zook Kristal Brent 
Published: April 2023

At five years old, Kristal Brent Zook sat on the steps of a Venice Beach, California, motel trying to make sense of her white father’s abandonment, which left her feeling unworthy of a man’s love and of white protection. Raised by her working-class African American mother and grandmother, Zook was taught not to count on anyone, especially men. Men leave. Men disappoint. In adulthood she became a feminist, activist, and “race woman” journalist in New York City. Despite her professional success, something was missing. Coming to terms with her identity was a constant challenge.
The Girl in the Yellow Poncho is Zook’s coming-of-age tale about what it means to be biracial in America. Throughout, she grapples with in-betweenness, while also facing childhood sexual assault, economic insecurity, and multigenerational alcoholism and substance abuse on both the Black and white sides of her family. Her story is one of strong Black women—herself, her cousin, her mother, and her grandmother—and the generational cycles of oppression and survival that seemingly defined their lives.
Setting out on an inner journey that takes her across oceans and continents, Zook tells the story of a little girl who never gives up on love, even long after it seems to have been destroyed. In the end she triumphs, reconciling with her father and mother to create the family of her dreams through forgiveness and sheer force of will. A testament to the power of settling into one’s authentic identity, this book tells a story of a daughter’s lifelong yearning, a mother’s rediscovery of lost love, and the profound power of atonement and faith to heal a broken family.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
An acrylamide biosensor was developed by utilizing purine bases, i.e. guanine and adenine, through computational and electrochemical approaches. The molecular docking simulation proved that interaction of double-stranded DNA with the purine bases has the lowest Gibbs binding free energy compared to other biomolecules with a ΔGbinding of −4.2759 kcal/mol. Meanwhile, cyclic voltammetry of both guanine and adenine in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.4 using a boron-doped diamond electrode showed an irreversible oxidation peak in the potential range of 0 to +1.8 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), confirming that the oxidation reaction was irreversible. The current of these peaks decreased linearly with the concentration of acrylamide due to the adduct formation between the purine bases and acrylamide. The formation of acrylamide adducts between acrylamide and purine bases was confirmed by the shift of the peak wavelength of the UV spectrum from 260 to 257 nm. The use of guanine for acrylamide sensing showed a linear calibration curve in the concentration range of 0.20–1.00 µM (R2 = 0.99) with a limit of detection and limit of quantification attained at 0.11 and 0.36 µM, respectively. In the case of adenine, a linear calibration curve was observed in the concentration range of 0.14–1.00 µM (R2 = 0.99) with a limit of detection and limit of quantification of 0.10 and 0.34 µM, respectively. The developed method was successfully performed for the acrylamide determination in coffee samples and was validated by HPLC.

Background: Periodontal regeneration therapies frequently involve autologous platelet concentrates (APCs). They can be used in sinus lift surgeries and socket preservation, among other clinical settings. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) membrane has been used to treat gingival recession in individuals or groups of individuals using a coronally progressed or lateral pedicle flap. In the treatment of mixed periodontic endodontic lesion/furcation defect, PRF functions as a healing and interpositional biomaterial, filling a cystic cavity. PRF is known to help the bone regeneration process. In the last few years, efforts have been made to enhance the PRFs characteristics and quality. One of them is titanium platelet rich fibrin (T-PRF). Third-generation platelet concentrate no longer contains silica, and its preparation in glass vacuum containers, no longer creates any known concerns. The effectiveness PRF's has been evaluated in connective tissue and bone repair. The aim of this study is to compare T-PRF to other platelet concentrates and different treatment modalities for periodontal regenerative procedures. Methods: A protocol of this systematic review have been registered in prospero (CRD42022293545). The online database searched were PUBMED, COCHRANE for published articles up to November 2022 without language restrictions. Studies in trial registers, handsearching, bibliographic references of relevant articles were also checked. Data collection and analysis was done by individual authors. Independent eligibility assessments were conducted by four review authors. Then, using the standard Cochrane methodology, four review authors extracted the data and evaluated the risk of bias for individual studies. We developed "Summary of findings" tables and used GRADE to evaluate the evidence. Results: Three studies were included for meta-analysis. Results of meta-analysis supported that T-PRF is effective for correction of both hard and soft tissue defects. Conclusions: The overall qualitative and quantitative analysis suggest that T-PRF has superior structural properties and thicker fibrin network for periodontal regenerative procedures.

Transit monitoring is a preventive approach used to identify possible cases of human trafficking before exploitation while an individual is in transit or before crossing a border. Transit monitoring is often conducted by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that train staff to identify and intercept suspicious activity. Love Justice International (LJI) is a well-established NGO that has been conducting transit monitoring for years along the Nepal-India border at multiple monitoring stations. In partnership with LJI, we developed a system that uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to help LJI decision makers evaluate the performance of these stations at intercepting potential human trafficking victims given the amount of resources (staff, etc.) available and make specific operational improvement recommendations. Our model consists of 91 decision-making units from seven stations over 13 quarters and considers three inputs, four outputs, and three homogeneity criteria. Using this model, we identified efficient stations, compared rankings of station performance, and recommended strategies to improve efficiency. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of DEA in the anti-human trafficking domain. History: This paper was refereed.

SUCESSÃO DOMINIAL E ESCRAVIDÃO NA PECUÁRIA DO RIO DAS RÃS
Authors: Fagundes Neves Erivaldo 
Published: April 2023

Alguns equívocos – sobretudo no uso de fontes históricas que não o desqualificam – do livro O quilombo do Rio das Rãs: história, tradição, lutas, organizado por José Jorge de Carvalho, estimularam o desejo de discutir a formação da estrutura fundiária do entorno da foz do Rio das Rãs, na margem direita do Rio São Francisco, onde se desenvolveu a comunidade negra de origem quilombola, ainda pouco conhecida. Apresenta dados sobre a economia pecuarista escrava regional dos séculos XVIII e XIX, complementada por policulturas agrícolas, na qual a fuga de cativos, como em qualquer outra sociedade escravista, constituía manifestação comum de resistência.

A revista Sitientibus, em conformidade com o projeto que a originou, vem cumprindo o seu mister: dar ampla visibilidade à produção intelectual da UEFS. Alicerçada pela essência do partilhar, tem revelado a necessidade da (con)vivência grupal no sentido, dentre muitos, de uma práxis acadêmica salutar. A linha editorial por que se orienta este periódico, não sendo discriminativa, não induz à mostragem de trabalhos julgados especiais, sob uma ótica individualista. Defende, sim, a apresentação do melhor que o autor alcance. A produção científica universitária não se perde, pois, em descaminhos de presunção; abre-se espaço para o ideal comunitário (com)partilhado.

Published: April 2023

Recentemente os modelos lineares hierárquicos ou multiníveis começaram a ser mais conhecidos em diversos campos do conhecimento científico, principalmente na área da Educação e das Ciências Sociais. Importantes propriedades dos modelos lineares hierárquicos permitem que a variabilidade da variável resposta: (a) seja explicada através de variáveis preditoras incluídas em diferentes níveis hierárquicos e (b) possa quantificar em cada nível, tal que a proporção da variabilidade explicada possa ser comparada diretamente. Assim, as análises multiníveis apresentam estimativas mais fidedignas, uma vez que não assumem erroneamente o pressuposto de independência entre as observações das unidades pertencentes a um agregado, como ocorre nas análises contextuais e naquelas com observações repetidas.
Rabi splitting and unidirectional reflectionless propagation in one-dimensional topological plasmonic crystal
Authors: Zheng Feixiang , Wang Yueke , Sang Tian , Yang Guofeng , Yao Qi 
Published: April 2023

In this paper, we study the strong coupling between the topological edge state and Fabry–Perot cavity state in a one-dimensional plasmonic crystal heterostructure. Finite element method simulations show that a significant plasmonic Rabi splitting is achieved in the near-infrared region and Rabi energy can reach up to 45.5 meV. A dual-band near-perfect absorption phenomenon can be observed, and a coupled oscillator model is proposed to explain the origin of Rabi splitting. In addition, the dual-band unidirectional reflectionless plasmonic propagation in the Rabi splitting region is investigated, and the non-Hermitian scattering matrix is used to verify the existence of double exceptional points. The study may find applications in plasmonic switchers, on-chip sensors, diode-like devices, and filters.
