Foreign Capital in the Women's Press in Poland in 1989-2019 – Attempted Summary
Authors: Dąbrowska-Cendrowska Olga , Walkowiak Natalia 
Published: April 2023

Press companies with foreign capital have been functioning on the Polish media market since 1990. In the nineties, women’s press was dominated by four media giants with German capital: Bauer Media, Burda Poland, G+J Poland, and Axel Springer Poland (‘The Big German Four’), which were later joined by Edipresse Poland and Marquard Media. In the years between 2001 and 2016, mergers and acquisitions took place which led to a concentration of the press market. As a result, in 2019 Bauer Media became the definitive leader, systematically expanding its press range in the group of multi-thematic magazines. Despite taking action, neither Edipresse Polska nor Burda International was able to compete with the media giant. The aim of this article is to analyze changes in the segment of women's multi-thematic magazines which took place between 1989 and 2019. The research used the method of system analysis, a research approach used in social sciences, which considers the notion of a system and its analysis as crucial for the understanding of social phenomena. It was assumed that the women's press published in Poland is a part of the Polish media system. It is a closed sub-segment. Considering this multi-thematic magazine group as a whole without dividing it into subsegments, it is obvious that Bauer Media was the ultimate leader – owning 13 titles i.e. 56.5% of the available magazine range. The remaining 10 magazines (43.5%) were owned by Burda International (5), Marquard Media (2), Edipresse Polska (1), Agora S.A (1), and Wydawnictwo Zwierciadło (1). In the years 2018-2019, the media giant Bauer Media extended its magazine range and gained a monopoly in the advice and gossip magazine subsegment.

Do fiscal and monetary policies contribute to income distribution? Empirical evidence from Central Asian Countries
Authors: Khan Zulfiqar , Khan Muhammad Azam 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This study examines the impacts of macroeconomic policies (i.e., fiscal policy by government consumption spending, and total tax revenue, and monetary policy by broad money and real interest rate) along with some other regressors namely inflation, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, remittances, exchange rate, and financial development on income distribution in four Central Asian countries over 1995–2020. After employing the unit root tests, we implemented the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL)/Pooled Mean Group (PMG) approach for empirical analysis. Empirical result reveals that both fiscal and monetary policies have positive and negative impacts on income inequality. Empirical results also exhibit that inflation increases income inequality, while financial development, per capita income, and more inflow of foreign remittances decrease inequality in the panel and individual countries analysis. These empirical findings suggest that coordinated policies need to be adopted along with the increase in remittances, financial sector development to attenuate income inequality.

Concordance of Manufacturing Industries Using NIC-2008 and NIC-2004: A Disaggregate Level Study
Authors: Rijesh R 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The purpose of the study is to build a systematic correspondence of industries at the 4-digit and 5-digit levels using the National Industrial Classification (NIC) of 2008 and 2004, published by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO), Government of India. Since the introduction of NIC-2008, data compilation of industries at the disaggregated level with an earlier version of NIC has become an extremely difficult and complex task as there is a lack of one-to-one correspondence between several 4-digit industrial codes. To mitigate this, the current study uses the product-wise distribution of industries reported in the NIC catalogue and matches similar industry codes at the 5-digit level. This enabled us to develop the correspondence of 116 industries at the 4-digit level, which is the product of matching 517 sub-class categories at the 5-digit level. Thus, the matching by us is a major refinement of the official correspondence table published by the CSO. Although several issues remain, we hope our concordance table will serve as a valuable reference guide for researchers and policymakers who wish to study and explore the empirical aspects of Indian manufacturing using disaggregated industry-level data.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
The arrival of a non-native species to a new environment threatens local biological diversity, causing instability in the functioning of the ecosystem. The adverse ecological effects caused by these species have been scarcely documented for the Magdalena basin. By studying predator-prey interactions, we characterized the trophic niche of three non-native species (Micropterus salmoides, Oncorhynchus mykiss, and Cyprinus carpio) that dominate a high Andean reservoir in the Magdalena basin. To understand whether non-native species are preying on native fish, or if they present specific feeding behaviors that facilitate their establishment in lentic environments, we evaluated the diversity of the prey they consume, their feeding strategy, and possible differences in the feeding scheme. Forty individuals were analyzed, and twenty categories of prey were identified for these species. The consumed prey corresponds to the native biota; however, no native fish were found in the stomach contents evaluated. The diversity of prey consumed is similar amongst species, however, M. salmoides behaves like an important predator, as it consumes a larger amount of prey. We observed that the variation in diet composition amongst the non-native species is different, which favors their coexistence as it reduces the competition amongst them. Analyzing the type of diet of this non-native fish is a useful tool that provides a description of some trophic interactions in this aquatic environment. Our results contribute information on the existing interactions amongst non-native species to the Magdalena basin, which is important for the development of strategies to manage and promote impact mitigation.

Abstract
Propolis and honey possess antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and antiproteinuric effects. The study aimed to explore the effect of propolis, honey, and their combination against D-glucose-induced hyperglycemia, acute kidney injury, liver injury, dyslipidemia, and changes in the oxidants and antioxidants in renal, hepatic, and pancreatic tissues. The chemical analysis and antioxidant content of propolis and honey were studied. The inhibitory effect of propolis and honey on alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase activity was studied. The study included five groups of rats, four groups treated with D-glucose and one group untreated. The D-glucose treated group (diabetic group) was divided into 1-4 groups. In addition to D-glucose, groups 2,3, and 4 were treated with propolis, honey, and a combination of propolis and honey respectively. Blood glucose levels, liver and renal function tests, urine protein and electrolytes, oxidant and antioxidant parameters, and histopathological changes in hepatic, renal, and pancreatic tissues were studied. Treatment with D-glucose continued for seven weeks, and with other interventions for the following 3 weeks. Propolis has a higher level of total protein and antioxidant activity than honey while honey contains higher carbohydrate levels. Honey has a higher alpha-amylase and glucosidase inhibitory activity than propolis. D-glucose caused a significant elevation of blood glucose, insulin, HOMA, blood urea, creatinine, lipid parameters, liver enzymes, and urine protein level. It significantly increases MDA and decreases antioxidant parameters in pancreatic, hepatic, and renal tissues. D-glucose caused histopathological changes in hepatic, renal, and pancreatic tissues. Propolis, honey, and their combination significantly ameliorated these changes. Propolis, honey, or their combination treated hyperglycemia, acute kidney injury, proteinuria, liver injury, and dyslipidemia, induced by D-glucose, most likely, by antioxidant activity and alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background:
Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a permanent sensorineural hearing loss (HL) which affects the quality of life of exposed individuals. This study was done to determine the prevalence of NIHL among sawmill workers at the Timber market and petty traders in Accra, Ghana, and to assess the difference in actual and self-reported HL among the sawmill workers.
Methods:
This was a comparative study of NIHL among sawmill workers at the Agbogbloshie Timber Market of Accra and petty traders whose work environment was situated remotely from the sawmill. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20.0. Demographic characteristics and pure tone audiometric testing of study participants were analysed and presented as mean ± standard deviation, counts and percentages. Independent T-test was used in comparing pure tone hearing thresholds of sawmill workers and petty traders at various frequencies.
Results:
A total of 120 sawmill workers and 120 petty traders were studied. Sixty-four (53.3%) of the petty traders were females and all the sawmill workers were males. The mean ages for the sawmill workers and petty traders were 41.5 ± 11.8 and 32.5 ± 10.4 years. The prevalence of NIHL among the sawmill workers was 37.5% in the right ear and 43.3% in the left ear. Among the petty traders, the prevalence of NIHL was 12.5% in the right ear and 8.3% in the left ear. There was a statistically significant difference in NIHL between the sawmill workers and the petty traders (p-value = 0.0001). The prevalence of HL in the better ear for the sawmill workers and petty traders was 16.7% and 1.7% respectively. Sixty-nine (57.5%) sawmill workers self-reported HL compared to actual HL of 39 (32.5%) which showed a statistically significant difference (p-value = 0.011).
Conclusions:
The prevalence of NIHL among the sawmill workers and the petty traders for right and left ears was 37.5% and 43.3% and 12.5% and 8.3% respectively. There was a significant difference between actual and self-reported HL among the sawmill workers.

Abstract
Skin barrier dysfunction in the setting of atopic dermatitis (AD) leads to cutaneous allergen sensitization (CAS).1 The atopic march hypothesis proposes that CAS leads to the subsequent development of other allergic disorders such as asthma and food allergy.2-5 The latter is associated with IgE-mediated anaphylaxis6. However, the precise mechanisms by which CAS promotes IgE-mediated allergic responses remain unclear. We thus established a CAS model of anaphylaxis and identified a unique role of the Interleukin (IL)-13 signal in DCs to generate anaphylactic IgE responses. Single-cell RNA-seq revealed the emergence of IL-13 receptor alpha 1 chain (IL-13Rα1)-expressing type 2 conventional dendritic cells (cDC2s) in CAS. Similar DC populations were identified in allergic rhinitis humans with cedar pollan-specific IgE antibodies. Lineage-specific disruption of IL-13 signaling resulted in a marked reduction in cDC2s that highly expressed MHC class II: these cells controlled the germinal center entry of TFH cells required for IgE responses. These data reveal a unique role for IL-13 in controlling the expansion of MHCIIhi cDC2s and associated TFH cell responses in the setting of allergy.

Abstract
Background: With the increased interest in inter-recti distance measurement using ultrasound imaging, there is a question of measurement reliability, and the importance of the examiner’s experience.
Methods: The study aimed to investigate the reliability of the inter-recti distance measurement performed offline by an experienced radiologist on linea alba images captured by two novice examiners. Additionally, it was aimed to determinethe number of image repetitions that provide an acceptable measurement reliability level.
Ultrasound images were acquired by two novice examiners on repeated occasions (sessions A and B) in twenty-eight nulliparous women of reproductive age. Five images were captured at supraumbilical, umbilical, and infraumbilical points during each session.
Results: The excellent intra-examiner reliability of inter-recti distance measurements was shown at the supraumbilical and umbilical levels (ICC=0.894-0.983). Infraumbilical measurements had good to excellent reliability (ICC=0.894-0.972). Session A inter-examiner reliability was excellent for the mean measurements of two, three, four, and five images taken at each location (ICC=0.913-0.954). Session B inter-examiner reliability was excellent for the mean measurements of two, three, four, and five images taken at the supraumbilical and umbilical (ICC=0.94-0.98) and good (ICC≥0.81) at the infraumbilical locations. Some images were unusable (1.6% of images of Examiner 1 and 2.2% of Examiner 2).
Conclusions:Novice examiners were able to capture good-quality ultrasound images of the linea alba that allowed for excellent intra- and inter-examiner reliability of supraumbilical and umbilical measurements, and good to excellent reliability of inframbilical measurements in nulliparas.
Temperature and brine type of formation Mississippi Valley Type Pb-Zn ore deposits: constrained by simulation experiments

Published: March 2023

Abstract
The transformation of kerogen to hydrocarbons in the early stages of oil generation is critical for understanding the resource potential of liquid-rich. Additionally, numerous previous experimental and theoretical studies on Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) Pb-Zn deposits have shown a close genetic relationship with the hydrocarbon accumulation for their common coexistence with the oil/gas reservoirs in the world. However, the actual mineralization process of Pb-Zn deposits associated with hydrocarbon fluids lacks sufficient theoretical studies. Here, we focus on the MVT Pb-Zn mineralization, primarily on the influence of mineralization temperature and the type of brines, using geochemical simulation experiments to verify the relationship between the hydrocarbon fluids and Pb-Zn ore deposits. To restore the actual metallogenic environment to the maximum extent possible, we found that with increased temperature (80-180oC), the number of mineralization showed an increasing trend, and no ore deposits have been found under 80oC. Furthermore, the expected mineralization process could occur under the brine mixture solution, NaCl+CaCl2, and hardly under the single solution. Therefore, under the geochemical simulation experiments, temperature, brine type, and so on play an essential role in the mineralization process under the participation of hydrocarbon fluid, which could provide the theoretical explanations of their coupling relationship.
Phosphorus makes silicon fertilization mandatory: Effect of nano-silicon on the one-sided antagonisms of phosphorus fertilization in wheat-maize and maize-maize cropping system
Authors: Gunes Aydin , Akca Hanife , Taskin Mehmet Burak 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background and aims:
Silicon (Si) improves P utilization in plants. With this effect of Si, less P fertilizer can be used and reducing the negative impact of P fertilizers on other nutrients such as Si and Zn.
Methods
To determine nano-Si and P interactions, two independent experiments were conducted. Wheat and then maize were grown in the first experiment, and maize and then maize again in the second. The functional and structural properties of nano-Si were determined using FTIR, XRD, SEM, and BET after it was synthesized from rice husk.
Results
Plant dry weights significantly increased as P dose increased in the both experiments; this increase is more with nano-Si, particularly in the low P treatment. The P concentration of the wheat plants increased, which was the first plant in the wheat-maize experiment due to the P fertilization. However, the P concentration of the plants dependent on P fertilization was reduced in the second plant of this experiment, maize, and in both maize plants in the maize-maize experiment. The nano-Si treatment is very effective in increasing the P concentration of the plants. Plant Si concentrations decreased with the increased whereas, P supply while Si treatments increased plant Si concentrations. Both Si sources increased the plant-available Si concentrations of the soils. The antagonistic effect of P on zinc was reduced by nano-Si.
Conclusion
This study shows that nano-Si has significant potential as an alternative and environmentally friendly Si fertilizer source and it is very effective on reducing P fertilizer input.

Abstract

Objective To investigate the correlation of serum endothelin-1(ET-1)and instent restenosis in vertebral artery stenting.
Methods A total of 68 patient undergoing re-examination of vertebral artery stenting in the Department of Cerebrovascular Disease, Hangzhou Third People's Hospital from from April 2019 to October 2022 were recruited in this study.According to the existent of vertebral artery stenting or not,the patients were divided into restenosis group (n=19) and non-restensis group (n=49).The general clinical data and ET-1 level were compared between the 2 groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between ET-1 level and risk for in-stent restenosis.ROC curve was drawn to test the diagnostic value of serum ET-1 level for instent restenosis.
Results Compared with the non-restenosis group, the levels of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), TG, and ET-1 in the restenosis group were significantly increased (p<0.05) The Pearson correlation analysis showed that when comparing the relevant indices between the two groups, ET-1, LDL, TG, stent diameter, and stent length were positively correlated with ISR (p<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ET-1, stent length, and LDL were independently associated with ISR(OR=1.502，95%CI: 0.042~0.212,p=0.000; OR=1.899,95%CI: 1.116~2.237,p=0.000;OR=1.899,95%CI: 1.228~3.337,p=0.001;）the area under the curve of serum ET-1 in the diagnosis of vertebral artery ISR was 0.938, the best diagnostic cut-off value was 11.94 ng/L, the sensitivity was 89.5%, and the specificity was 85.7%.
Conclusion ET-1 level is independently associated with in-instent restenosis.
ARTIST: an automatic residue type assignment program for multidimensional NMR spectra
Authors: Chen Bo 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
We describe a general algorithm for accurate residue type assignments of multidimensional NMR spectra of biomolecules. It exploits identical chemical shifts of the same nuclear site across spectra, to match resonances to known residue type assignments. Thus, congested spectra can be automatically assigned, so long as resonances positions can be resolved. The algorithm is coded into program ARTIST in Python and tested by 3D ncacx and ncocx spectra of the tubular assembly formed by 237-residue Rous sarcoma virus capsid protein. The script can easily be modified to assist residue type assignments of other multidimensional NMR spectra to alleviate the challenge from spectral congestion, and to accelerate the workflow.
Daily streamflow prediction based on the long short-term memory algorithm: a case study in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
Authors: Nguyen Huu Duy , Van Chien Pham , Nguyen Quoc-Huy , Bui Quang-Thanh 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The objective of this study is the development of a state-of-the-art method based on long short-term memory (LSTM), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF) to predict the streamflow in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, an area crucial to Vietnam's food security. Water level and flow data from 2014 to 2018 at the Tan Chau station and Can Tho (on the Hau River) were used as the input data of the prediction model. Three different ranges of data – from the preceding 4, 8, and 12 days – were used to predict streamflow for both 1 and 7 days ahead, resulting in six individual predictions. Various statistical indices, namely root-mean-square error, mean absolute error (MAE), and the coefficient of determination (R2), were used to assess the predictive ability of the model. The results showed that the SVM and random forest models were successful in improving the performance of the LSTM model, with R2 &gt; 80%. For a prediction of 1 day ahead, the proposed models gave an R2 value of 2–5% higher than a prediction of 7 days ahead. These results highlighted that LSTM is a robust technique for characterizing and predicting time series behaviors in hydrology applications.
