Abstract
Tropical cylone Seroja was one of the first tropical cyclones to significantly impact Indonesian land and the strongest one in such close proximity to Timor Island. In April 2021 Seroja brought historic flooding to Indonesia and East Timor, as well as impacting Western Australia. Its genesis was associated with enhanced equatorial convection which was preceded by warm sea surface anomalies. This happened on the leading edge of a Madden-Julian Oscillation event. Within the Madden-Julian Oscillation, the interaction between convectively coupled equatorial Rossby wave and two convectively coupled Kelvin waves created "perfect storm" conditions and led to cyclogensis. The development and consequences of TC Seroja were unusual for this part of the world. The question arises: to what extent could such strong storms in Indonesia become more common due to the climate change? It is argued that looking at tropical waves in the warmer climates may provide some insight into this complex problem.

Abstract
The present randomized controlled trial included oocytes retrieval procedures in IVF and ICSI cycles performed in 18/42-year-old women between March 2019 and January 2021 at a tertiary-care Fertility Centre, using two different needles: the single-lumen needle (SLN) with aspiration versus the double-lumen needle (DLN) with follicle flushing after aspiration. The purpose was to determine any difference in outcomes between the two different needles, primarily in terms of number of retrieved oocytes per procedure. A total of 200 ORs were randomized, 100 in each group. No significant difference in the number of retrieved oocytes between the groups (10.2 ± 6.5 for DLNs vs 10.7 ± 7.0 for SLNs, p = 0.810) was recorded. No significant differences were observed also in terms of number of retrieved oocytes/punctured follicles (83.0%±27.0% vs 81.0%±22.0%, p = 0.916), number of retrieved oocytes/follicles at trigger (78.0% ± 29.0% vs 78.0% ± 27.0%, p = 0.881), number of mature oocytes (7.6 ± 5.3 vs 8.0 ± 5.1, p = 0.519) and pregnancy rate (27% vs 23%, p = 0.514). However, the time required to retrieve each oocyte was longer using the DLN (1.5 ± 1.3 vs 1.1 ± 0.9 minutes, p = 0.002). To conclude, the present study confirmed the new perspectives on the sole use of SLNs in terms of saving time, without affecting the number of retrieved oocytes.

Abstract
Irrigation and reuse of rural domestic sewage after safe treatment is an effective way to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of water resources. In this paper, four kinds of irrigation water sources (primary and secondary treated water R1 and R2, purified water R3 and river water CK) and three kinds of water level regulation (low, medium, and high water level control of W1, W2 and W3) were set to study the impact on soil and crop safety, water and nitrogen utilization, biodiversity, and establish regulation mechanism of rural domestic sewage regenerative irrigation. The results showed that, the contents of Cd and Pb increased slightly, while the contents of Cr, Cu and Zn decreased in paddy field, heavy metals content showed that stem > leaf ≈ rice in rice plants, and did not increase significantly in rice grains. With the increase of field water level, the growth rate of PPCPs (Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products) in 60–80 cm soil layer was accelerated, and the PPCPs content in rice husk was higher than that in grain, but they were at a very low level. Compared to CK, rural domestic sewage irrigation can effectively increase rice yield, RUE (rainwater use efficiency) and NUE (nitrogen use efficiency of reclaimed water) by 5.4% − 7.6%, 6.7% − 9.4% and 21.7% − 24.2%, respectively. Meanwhile, it can improve the species diversity, community diversity and richness of rice root layer, but the biodiversity decreased with the increase of field water level. Additionally, water level regulation of W3 with R2 water resource irrigation was conducive to the exertion of comprehensive benefits. The results of demonstration area showed that the amount of fresh water was reduced to 530 mm, the yield was increased by 9.6%, and the soil and crop was safety under the reclaimed sewage irrigation.

Abstract
Background
The efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) -tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) was affected by numerous factors. We developed and validated an artificial neural network (ANN) system based on clinical characteristics and next-generation sequencing (NGS) to support clinical decisions.
Methods
A multicenter retrospective non-interventional study was conducted. 196 untreated patients from three hospitals with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and EGFR mutation were tested by NGS before the first treatment. All patients received formal EGFR-TKIs treatment. Five different models were individually trained to predict the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs based on an independent cohort. Others from two independent cohorts were collected for external validation.
Results
Compared with logistic regression, four machine learning methods show better predicting abilities for EGFR-TKIs. The inclusion of mutations further improved the predictive power in all models. ANN performed best on the dataset with mutations TP53, rb1 and pik3ca. The prediction accuracy on the test set reached 84%, the recall on the test set was about 95% for poor efficacy and ROC was 0.67 In the external validation, ANN still showed the best performance and differentiated patients with poor outcomes. Finally, a clinical decision support software based on ANN was developed and provides a visualization interface for clinicians
Conclusion
This study provides an approach to assess the efficacy of NSCLC patients with first-line EGFR-TKI treatment. A software is developed to support the clinical decision.
WITHDRAWN: Public Relation’s influence on Websites’ News Flow of the Emirates Newspapers
Authors: Lamya  
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This study aims at investigating how public relations can influence the news flow of newspaper websites in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It gives an overview of how far quality journalism can be affected by public relations press releases. It discusses the influence of public relations departments and private agencies on journalists and their ability to produce balanced, comprehensive, and accurate news content. The study also focuses on how the platformization of the news has affected the process of news production and writing.The study uses framing theory and the information disorder theory to investigate how PR practitioners and agencies influence the news flow of newspaper websites. This study uses a qualitative and quantitative approach with semi-structured in-depth interviews technique. It analyzed 587 items published in six UAE newspaper websites. The researcher conducted nine interviews with professionals and journalists from local newspapers, and public relations practitioners. The finding of the study indicates that PR news accounts for almost 50% of the news published on UAE news websites. It also revealed that there is a strong relationship between PR departments in different organizations and the mechanism of information flow to the various publications and media outlets. It may be argued that PR not only represent a main source of news stories for newspapers’ websites but also influence news style and framing.

Abstract
Background
A combination of bioceramics and polymeric materials has attracted the research community's interest in bone tissue engineering. This composite is essential to support cell attachment, proliferation and osteogenesis differentiation, which are vital as a classic strategy in bone tissue engineering. In this study, NiFe2O4/ZnO-coated poly L-Lactide (PLLA) was employed as a scaffold to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation capability of human Adipose tissue-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hAMSCs).
Material and methods
The electrospun PLLA nanofibers were fabricated, coated with nanocomposites(NiFe2O4/ZnO) and evaluated by the water contact angle, tensile test, ATR-FTIR and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Then, the osteogenic differentiation potential of hAMSC was evaluated in vitro using NiFe2O4/ZnO-coated PLLA compared to tissue culture plastic (TCP) and a simple scaffold (PLLA).
Results
The adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of AMSC were supported by the mechanical and biological properties of the NiFe2O4/ZnO-coated PLLA scaffold, according to SEM and DAPI staining patterns. During bone differentiation, Alkaline phosphatase activity, biomineralization, calcium content and osteogenic mRNA expression (Alkaline phosphatase, Osteonectin, Osteocalcin, Collagen type I and Runx2) were considerably greater on NiFe2O4/ZnO-coated PLLA scaffold than on PLLA scaffold and TCP.
Conclusion
According to our findings, when h-AMSCs become in proper relation with NiFe2O4/ZnO-coated PLLA, biomimetic features are formed that can be used to stimulate and accelerate the osteogenic differentiation of hAMSCs for bone regenerative medicine.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Farm planning, budgeting and profit-making can be achieved by optimizing the feeding welfare of animals through different management practices. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of feeder design on feeding behavior and lamb performance. Twenty-four growing fat-rumped lambs of 3-4 months were categorized into 3 groups with an average weight of 22.20±0.25kg. Group I lambs were fed individually in the bucket, groups II and III were fed in the group using feeding trough without fence line (conventional) and trough with fence line (designed) respectively. Group I spent significantly (P<0.05) higher time in isolated behavior like idle standing, rumination and vocalization. The eating time was significantly (P<0.05) low in group II with longer and severe agonistic behavior suggesting intense competition within the group. This group showed minimal weight gain and maximal feed wastage due to intense struggle for food during the period of the study. The lamb welfare behaviors like more time spent on lying rumination, least time in agonistic behavior and remarkable body weight gain were apparent in group III. This can be concluded from the study that group feeding in feeding troughs with designated space allocation for individual lamb brings better growth in growing lambs under stall feeding conditions.

Abstract
Objective: Although various experimental studies have been conducted to develop a system to automate bone tunnel drilling in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using robotic technology, no clinically useful, easy-to-use systems have become available yet. The purpose of this study is to facilitate accurate bone tunnel drilling under navigational control in ACL reconstruction. Methods: We have built an arm probe with five degrees of freedom for measuring desired drilling positions. In this study, a Stewart platform was used to position drill pins in the trajectory of bone tunnels. We built a prototype robotic tunnel drilling system consisting mainly of a probe that locates femoral and tibial tunnel positions at the centers of ACL-bone junctions and a platform with a drilling device that can move three-dimensionally. Results and Discussion: Regarding the actual positions (mm) and postures (degree) from target positions and postures in three directions, mean position deviations in all three directions were less than 1 mm and mean angles of deviation were between 0.1 to 0.2 degrees. Therefore, the Stewart platform was considered capable of highly precise positioning of the slide cylinder. In our study using a knee model, the prototype system enabled us to easily drill bone tunnels with high precision. We have also developed a space-saving model of this robotic arm system with software, which works better on an operating table. We are now conducting a study to verify its effectiveness and reliability.
"A calf cannot fail to pick a color from its mother: Intergenerational transmission of trauma and its effect on reconciliation among post-genocide Rwandan youth"

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Background: The 1994 genocide against the Tutsi took more than one million lives in a period of one hundred days. Most survivors were left severely traumatized, and similar trauma symptoms found among adults are also currently being observed among young people including those who were born after and who did not physically witness or experience the horrific events of the genocide. Based on a growing and substantial body of theory and evidence suggesting the possibility of transmission of trauma across generations, our study aimed to explore mechanisms of trauma transmission to youth born of genocide survivors after the genocide and the effects trauma may have on the reconciliation process among this younger generation in post-genocide Rwanda. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted in Rwanda among youth born after the genocide from genocide survivor parents, parents who survived the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis and mental health and peace-building professionals. Nineteen individual interviews (IDIs) with post-genocide descendants of survivors, ten IDIs with mental health and peacebuilding professionals, and six focus group discussions (FGDs) with genocide survivor parents were conducted in Eastern Province and Kigali city of Rwanda. Respondents were recruited through five local organisations that work closely with survivors and their descendants. A thematic analysis approach was used to analyse the data.Results: Findings from our study suggest that the trauma experienced by genocide survivor parents is perceived to be transmitted through various pathways including biological means, silence and disclosure of genocide experiences, and everyday contact with a traumatized parent. Life at home as well as the recurrent genocide commemoration period, during which remembrance events such as re-burial of genocide victims, testimonies of survivors and commemoration rituals that refresh the memories of the past, appear to potentiate this phenomenon. Additionally, such trauma transmitted to survivor descendants (descendants of genocide survivors) is understood to negatively affect their psychological well-being which can limit their involvement in reconciliation process out of fear of re-traumatizing their parents, due to mistrust towards families of perpetrators and parents’ reconciliation involvement including its potentially traumatic impacts on them.

Abstract
The zinc finger homeodomain (ZF-HD) genes belong to the homeobox gene family, playing critical roles in flower development and stress response. Despite their importance, however, to date there has been no genome-wide identification and characterization of the ZF-HD genes that are probably involved in the stress responses of maize. In this study, 24 ZF-HD genes were identified in maize, and their chromosomal locations, protein properties, duplication patterns, structures, conserved motifs, and expression patterns were investigated. The results revealed that the ZF-HD genes are unevenly distributed on nine chromosomes and that most of these genes lack introns. Six and two maize ZF-HD genes have undergone segmental and tandem duplication, respectively, during gene expansion. These 24 ZF-HD transcription factors were classified into six major groups on the basis of protein molecular evolutionary relationship. In addition, we examined the expression profiles of these genes in different organs and at different developmental stages, which indicated that most of the maize ZF-HD genes are highly expressed in embryos at 14 days after pollination. Furthermore, expression profiling of the 24 ZF-HD genes in response to abscisic acid (ABA), high salt and drought stress revealed that ZmZHD11 and ZmZHD12 show significant responses to abiotic stresses, suggesting that these two genes probably play important roles in making plant adapt to adverse conditions.

Abstract

Ceratitis capitata Wied. (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a significant pest of apricot (Prunus armeniaca) fruit in the spring and summer seasons in Turkey. New integrated pest management techniques are required for C. capitata to reduce dependency on insecticides used for its control that may result in negative environmental impacts. In the current study, we identified volatiles of apricot fruit by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). We tested the behavioral responses of C. capitata to some of the identified compounds of apricot in both field and laboratory. Our study demonstrated that in four-arm olfactometer bioassays, C. capitata was more attracted to treated arms with 3-hexen-1-ol, acetate, (Z)- and ethyl acetate than those treated with butanoic acid, 2-hexenyl ester, (E)- and untreated arm. In the wind tunnel studies, we found that the landing rate on 3-hexen-1-ol, acetate, (Z)- was higher than those on butanoic acid, 2-hexenyl ester, (E)- and ethyl acetate. Similar results were obtained from the field study. Also, females of C.capitata were more responsive to volatile compounds than males. Our study could be helpful for the development of novel control strategies against the female flies of C. capitata in orchards.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Background: Arteriovenous fistula delay or absence of maturation is a common problem in hemodialysis. The prevalence of antiphospholipid antibody is higher among hemodialysis patients compared to the general population and is inconsistently associated with arteriovenous fistula thrombosis or stenosis. However, the effect of antiphospholipid antibodies on delayed or absence of maturation of the arteriovenous fistula has never been studied. Methods: We retrospectively identified 103 hemodialyzed patients with arteriovenous fistula whether used or not. We collected the clinical and biological data potentially involved in arteriovenous fistula maturation and investigated the association between antiphospholipid antibody positivity and arteriovenous fistula maturation failure according to KDOQI guidelines. Results: In our cohort, the prevalence of arteriovenous fistula maturation failure was of 45.8%. The prevalence of antiphospholipid syndrome was of 7.8 %, whereas only 10.7% of patients fulfilled only antiphospholipid laboratory criteria. The persistent positivity of antiphospholipid antibody was a risk factor for arteriovenous fistula maturation failure. In multivariate analysis, this association was independent of stenosis. Conclusions: To our knowledge, we report for the first time, a statistically significant association between arteriovenous fistula maturation failure, antiphospholipid antibody persistent positivity and antiphospholipid syndrome. This association was independent of arteriovenous stenosis. Our data suggests a potential non-stenotic and/or non-thrombotic mechanism of antiphospholipid antibody related arteriovenous fistula maturation failure in hemodialysis patients.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Friction stir welding is one of the primary fabrication techniques for making different engineering components, especially aluminum alloys. The welded joint with the friction stir process greatly depends on the process parameters, i.e., feed rate, rotational speed, and pin profile of the tool. In the current study, plates of AA5451 were joined by the friction stir welding technique, and the Taguchi method was used to find the process parameters at an optimal level. It was concluded that for tensile strength, tool rotation speed of 1400, threaded tool pin profile and feed rate of 18 mm/min were optimum parameters. At the same time, the optimum parameters for hardness were tool rotation speed of 1200, threaded tool pin profile and feed rate of 18 mm/min. Overall, the tool pin profile was the major parameter for improving the welded joint’s tensile strength and hardness. In addition, the contribution in terms of percentage of each input parameter was found by the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The ANOVA results also revealed that the pin profile of tool has the maximum contribution on the results of tensile strength and hardness. The study also investigated the joint efficiency of friction stir welded joint, hardness at weld zone, and metallography on friction stir welding samples at the optimized level.
