The entire chloroplast genome sequence of Asparagus cochinchinensis and genetic comparison to Asparagus species
Authors: Sheng Wentao 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Asparagus cochinchinensis is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant. The chloroplast (cp) genome study on A. cochinchinensis is poorly understood. In this research, we collected the data from the cp genome assembly and gene annotation of A. cochinchinensis, followed by further comparative analysis with six species in the genus Asparagus. The cp genome of A. cochinchinensis showed a circular quadripartite structure in the size of 157,095 bp, comprising a large single-copy (LSC), a small single-copy (SSC), and two inverted repeat (IR) regions. A total of 137 genes were annotated, consisting of 86 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNAs, 38 transfer RNAs, and 5 pseudo-genes. Forty scattered repetitive sequences and 247 simple sequence repeats loci were marked out. In addition, A/T-ending codons were shown to have a basis in the codon analysis. A cp genome comparative analysis revealed that a similar gene composition was detected in the IR and LSC/SSC regions with Asparagus species. Based on the complete cp genome sequence in Asparagaceae, the result showed that A. cochinchinensis was closely related to A. racemosus by phylogenetic analysis. Therefore, our study providing A. cochinchinensis genomic resources could effectively contribute to the phylogenetic analysis and molecular identification of the genus Asparagus.

Authors: Mendes Luana Carvalho , de Oliveira Magalhães Rafael , Pereira dos Santos Rodrigo Kelson , Araújo Rogério Santiago 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Objectives
PHA1 is a rare heterogeneous disorder featured by changes in renal electrolyte transport due to mineralocorticoid resistance. The aim of the current study is to report the case of a child with 5-year follow-up presenting mutation in the ElaC Ribonuclease Z 2 (ELAC2) gene and clinical-laboratory diagnosis of pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1), as well as atypical clinical manifestations such as thrombocytosis, borderline aldosterone levels, and plasma renin activity.

Case presentation
The patient was treated with corticosteroids and salt replenishment. His cardiological condition presented gradual regression and the introduction of new food items in his diet dismissed the need of salt replenishment.

Conclusions
This new molecular mechanism should be taken into consideration in differential diagnoses in children with hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, delayed growth, hypertension and hypertrophic cardiomegaly.

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Maternal urogenital infections during pregnancy are worldwide frequent problem. The aim was to analyze influence of maternal genitourinary infection on fetal cardiac function, pregnancy development and obstetrical outcomes.

Methods
This was a single-center cohort study on fetuses (average at 28th week) in two groups: with maternal urogenital infections (study group n=49) and control group with no infections (n=59). Parvovirus B19, toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex infections, congenital malformations, fetal growth restriction, chronic maternal diseases, as well as patients with body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m2 were excluded. We analyzed: maternal age, time of delivery, neonatal birth weight, Apgar scores, average time of hospitalization of newborns after birth and several fetal echocardiographic parameters.

Results
The only statistical differences was found for shorter isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT) (40 ± 10 vs. 45 ± 9; p=0.03) and longer ejection time (ET) [ms] for right ventricle (RV) (176 ± 24 vs. 164 ± 18; p=0.01). Thick placenta was observed more frequent in study group than in controls (36.7 vs. 16.9%; p= 0.02).

Conclusions
The missing link for explanation of these findings was coincidence with thick placenta. This is probably the first observation suggesting that thick placenta (>5 cm) may affect fetal RV function in normal heart anatomy: prolongation of right ventricular ET and shortening of fetal right ventricular IVRT.

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Objectives
To determine the optimal glucose challenge test (GCT) cutoff value for the screening of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) based on pre-pregnancy BMI.

Methods
An-IRB approved retrospective cohort analysis of singleton pregnancies at a large tertiary healthcare center from January 2004 to December 2020 was performed. The first GCT value completed between 20 and 32 weeks was used. Using a receiver operator curve (ROC), we sought to determine the optimal GCT cutoff value for each BMI category that would predict the development of GDM. Youden Index was used to determine optimal cut-point of GCT values for each BMI class.

Results
A total of 23,550 patients with a GCT value were identified. Of those, 1,676 (7.1%) were diagnosed with GDM. 513 (30.6%) with normal BMI, 449 (26.8%) overweight, 347 (20.7%) class I obese, 210 (12.5%) class II obese, and 157 (9.4%) class III obese patients were diagnosed with GDM. Gestational diabetes was predicted at GCT cutoff value of 130 mg/dL with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.92 (BMI <25), 131 mg/dL with an AUC of 0.92 (overweight BMI), 131 mg/dL with an AUC of 0.89 (class I BMI), 133 mg/dL with an AUC of 0.88 (class II BMI), and 131 mg/dL with an AUC of 0.88 (class III BMI).

Conclusions
AUC ranged from 0.88 to 0.92 with 93% or greater sensitivity for GCT cutoff value across each of the BMI categories. The findings support a GCT cutoff value of 130 mg/dL for GDM screening regardless of BMI.

Abstract
Continuous partial actions and continuous enveloping actions are investigated in the category of convergence spaces. Product and quotient constructions are considered. Further, it is shown that a continuous partial action on a convergence space can be extended to a continuous partial action on a compactification of the convergence space.
Optical rectification and thermal currents in optical tunneling gap antennas
Authors: Mennemanteuil Marie Maxime , Buret Mickaël , Colas-des-Francs Gérard , Bouhelier Alexandre 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Electrically-contacted optical gap antennas are nanoscale interface devices enabling the transduction between photons and electrons. This new generation of device, usually constituted of metal elements (e.g. gold), captures visible to near infrared electromagnetic radiation and rectifies the incident energy in a direct-current (DC) electrical signal. However, light absorption by the metal may lead to additional thermal effects which need to be taken into account to understand the complete photo-response of the devices. The purpose of this communication is to discriminate the contribution of laser-induced thermo-electric effects in the photo-assisted electronic transport. We show case our analysis with the help of electromigrated devices.

Abstract
The fractional model has been developed for the thermal flow of hybrid nanofluid due to the inclined surface. The thermal investigation of the hybrid nanomaterial is predicted by utilizing the molybdenum disulphide nanoparticles and graphene oxide nanomaterials. The flow computations for mixed convection flow of nanoparticles and base fluids are performed due to vertical oscillating plate. The simulations for the formulated model have been done ρ-Laplace transform technique for Caputo fractional simulations. Definitions of Mittage–Leffler function and ρ-Laplace transform are also presented for the governing model. The application of updated definitions of ρ-Laplace transform for the Caputo fractional model is quite interesting unlike traditional Laplace transforms. The comparative investigation for both types of nanoparticles is performed for heat and mass transfer rates. It is observed that the heat enhancement rate due to water-based nanoparticles is relatively impressive compared to the kerosene oil-based nanomaterials.
Long Subject Questions in French: An Insight into the Left Periphery of Selected CPs
Authors: Berthelot Frédérique 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis article presents experimental data assessing the acceptability status of long subject questions (LSQs) in French. It shows that their suboptimal score does not reflect dialect variation and it fails to detect a change in progress. An analysis, developing further the rescuing strategy proposed in Rizzi and Shlonsky's freezing account, is presented. The crux of the proposal is that a Case mismatch obtains within the embedded complementizer, which is shown to be necessarily syncretic in LSQs. The full acceptability of embedded subject questions is then discussed and accounted for within this framework.
Normen beim kooperativen Schreiben im naturwissenschaftlichen Unterricht – eine empirische Rekonstruktion
Authors: Bleiker Johanna 
Published: August 2022

AbstractWriting in science education is considered to have great potential for language and science learning. However, the ways in which teachers and their students interact as writing communities in science lessons has so far rarely been studied in depth, particularly regarding thenormswhich guide cooperative writing. The present article remedies this by presenting the results of a study on the writing norms observable in cooperative writing tasks in science lessons in Swiss primary schools (3rd, 4th and 5th grade). A video corpus of appr. 50 hours was analysed using a combination of approaches, namely Qualitative Content Analysis and Conversation Analysis. First, the concept of norms underlying the present study is discussed and then, the methodological procedure, the data and results are presented. The writing norms reconstructed on the basis of the corpus represent six areas: 1. the way writing tasks are dealt with in science lessons, 2. content, 3. wording, 4. accuracy (orthography, morphology, syntax), 5. visual appearance (handwriting, layout) and 6. the procedure of cooperative writing itself. The article provides an overview of the reconstructed norms as well as a more detailed discussion of selected norms illustrated by corpus examples.
Aufstieg, Fall oder Wandel der Erlebnisorientierung? Eine Positionsbestimmung nach 30 Jahren „Erlebnisgesellschaft“
Authors: Delhey Jan , Schneickert Christian 
Published: August 2022

Zusammenfassung
Vor dreißig Jahren veröffentlichte Gerhard Schulze die Theorie der Erlebnisgesellschaft, der zufolge die Menschen in wohlhabenden Ländern zunehmend nach Erlebnissen streben, um ihr Projekt des schönen Lebens zu gestalten. Angesichts neuerer Gegenwartsdiagnosen, die insgesamt ein sehr krisenhaftes Bild der Spätmoderne zeichnen, erscheint diese Idee heute eigentümlich aus der Zeit gefallen. Vor diesem Hintergrund erörtern wir in diesem Beitrag zwei Fragen. Die erste, vor allem auf die zurückliegenden Jahre gerichtete Frage ist, ob der Erlebnisgesellschaft mit ihrer starken Innenorientierung tatsächlich nur eine kurze Blütezeit beschieden war und inzwischen die Außenorientierung der kompetitiven Gesellschaft wieder an Bedeutung gewonnen hat – oder ob sich die Erlebnisgesellschaft, gewissermaßen unter dem Radar des aktuellen Krisendiskurses, doch weiter entfaltet hat. Mit Daten des European Social Survey 2002–2018 für Deutschland zeigen wir, dass die Erlebnisorientierung in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten auf hohem Niveau noch einmal zugenommen hat, während die Statusorientierung vorübergehend angestiegen war, um dann in den 2010er Jahren spürbar zurück zu gehen. Die zweite, stärker auf die kommenden Jahre gerichtete Frage ist, welche neuen existenziellen Problemdefinitionen jenseits des erfolgreichen und des schönen Lebens, die beide einer Steigerungslogik folgen, sich abzeichnen. Perspektivisch halten wir es für wahrscheinlich, dass begrenzungslogische Lebensmaximen in Gestalt des achtsamen Lebens und insbesondere des nachhaltigen Lebens wichtiger werden. Angesichts des hohen subjektiven Gratifikationspotenzials der postmodernen Konsumgesellschaft ist allerdings von einer starken Beharrungskraft der Steigerungslogik auszugehen – und damit auch der Erlebnisorientierung.
Warum gibt es in Ostdeutschland weniger einwanderungsbezogene Bildungsungleichheit? Bedingungen der Bildungsbeteiligung und Lesekompetenz von Heranwachsenden mit Einwanderungsgeschichte in Ost- und Westdeutschland
Authors: Winkler Oliver , Jansen Malte , Edele Aileen 
Published: August 2022

Zusammenfassung
Wir untersuchen mit Daten der IQB-Ländervergleiche und Bildungstrends 2008/2009, 2012 und 2015, ob (1.) Disparitäten in der Bildungsbeteiligung und Lesekompetenz von Lernenden aus eingewanderten und nicht eingewanderten Familien in Ostdeutschland geringer ausgeprägt sind als in Westdeutschland und (2.) ob die geringere einwanderungsbezogene Bildungsungleichheit in Ostdeutschland auf geringere Unterschiede in (a) der sozialen Herkunft, (b) der sozialen Schulklassenzusammensetzung und (c) der frühkindlichen Bildung zurückgeführt werden kann. Es zeigt sich, dass in Ostdeutschland geringere oder teilweise keine einwanderungsbezogenen Bildungsdisparitäten bestehen, es ergeben sich sogar Bildungsvorteile für Jugendliche der zweiten Einwanderungsgeneration im Gymnasialbesuch. Ferner ist die geringere einwanderungsbezogene Ungleichheit in der Gymnasialbeteiligung und Lesekompetenz in Ostdeutschland auf geringere einwanderungsbezogene Ungleichheit in der sozialen Herkunft und sozialen Komposition der Schulklassen zurückzuführen.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
On June 4, 2021, Italy launched the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination of adolescents to slow down the COVID-19 spread. Although clinical trials have evaluated messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine effectiveness in adolescents, there is limited literature on its real-world effectiveness. Accordingly, this study aimed to estimate the effectiveness of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and mild or severe COVID-19 in a cohort of Sicilian adolescents within a 6 month observation period.

METHODS
A retrospective cohort study was conducted with adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, residents of Sicily, who were followed from July 15 to December 31, 2021. SARS-CoV-2 infections, mild and severe COVID-19, and COVID-19-related intubation or deaths during the study period were compared between subjects vaccinated with 2 doses of mRNA vaccines and unvaccinated individuals. The Cox regression analysis, adjusted for age and sex, was performed to compare the 2 groups.

RESULTS
Overall, the study included a total at-risk population of 274 782 adolescents with 61.4% of them having completed the vaccination cycle by the end of the study. Unvaccinated subjects had higher incidence rates of SARS-CoV-2 (1043 × 10 000 vs 158.7 × 10 000 subjects), mild COVID-19 (27.7 × 10 000 vs 1.8 × 10 000 subjects) and severe COVID-19 (1.41 × 10 000 vs 0 subjects) compared with the vaccinated population. The estimated adjusted vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 infection was 71.2%, reaching 92.1% and 97.9% against mild and severe COVID-19, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS
This study provides rigorous evidence of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines’ effectiveness in protecting adolescents from both SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19.

Diyaliz Tedavisi Almayan Kronik Böbrek Yetmezliği Hastalarında Malnutrisyon Durumunun Değerlendirilmesi
Özet
Amaç: Fazla kilo ve obezite gelişmiş ülkelerde büyüyen bir problemdir. Beraberinde kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, diabetus mellitus, hipertansiyon, serebrovasküler hastalık ve çeşitli kanser türleri gibi ağır sağlık sorunlarına sebep olurlar. Kronik böbrek yetmezlikli hastalarda protein enerji malnutrisyonu yüksek oranda görülmektedir. Subjektif global değerlendirme kronik böbrek yetmezliği hastalarında malnutrisyon tanısında kullanılan bir ankete dayalı skorlama yöntemidir. Hangi hastaların nutrisyonel bakımdan fayda göreceğini öngörmede faydalı olabilmektedir. Çalışmamızda diyaliz tedavisi başlanmamış kronik böbrek yetmezliği olan hastalarda malnutrisyonun daha erken aşamada başlayıp başlamadığının araştırılmasını amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza XXXXXX' ne başvuran diyaliz tedavisi almayan, farklı KBH evrelerinde tanı alan toplam 118 hasta dahil edildi. Kronik böbrek yetmezliği hastalarında biyoelektrik impedans analizi ve subjektif global değerlendirme anketi ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Vücut kitle indeksi, yağsız vücut kütlesi, bazal metabolizma hızı ve vücut su oranının KBH evrelerine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını belirlemek amacıyla Tek Yönlü ANOVA analizi yapılmış ve yağsız vücut kütlesinin KBH evresine göre farklılaştığı bulunmuştur (p=.024). Evreler arttıkça yağsız vücut kütlesinin düştüğü bulunmuştur ve evre 2 KBH hastalarında evre 5’e göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulunuştur. Ayrıca, bazal metabolizma hızının KBH evresine göre farklılaştığı bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda hastaların KBY evresine göre yağsız vücut kütlesinin ve bazal metabolik hızlarının farklılaştığı bulundu. KBY evresi arttıkça yağsız vücut kitlesinde azalma saptandı. Bu da bize bazal metabolik hızın malnutrisyon durumunda bir belirteç olarak kullanılabileceğini gösterebilir. Sonuçlar ışığında KBY hastalarında diyaliz başlanmadan biyoelektrik impedans ve subjektif global değerlendirmenin takipte kullanılabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Kronik böbrek hastalığı; malnutrisyon; biyoelektrik impedans.

Abstract
During 2020, the National Seismological Center (CSN) implemented an earthquake early warning system (EEWS) for northern Chile. From a seismological point of view, this area is considered to be one of the largest seismic gaps in Chile, where an Mw∼9.0 earthquake is expected in a region with a population of more than 1.4 million people. From an economical perspective, this region holds 90% of the copper mining companies in Chile, with more than 15% of the Gross National Product coming from the mining industry. Antofagasta Minerals funded an EEWS prototype for this region with the purpose of keeping both the population and the mining industry safe; 25 new seismic stations have been added to the CSN permanent network to develop an EEWS capable of issuing strong shaking alerts, which could potentially save lives and support critical mining operations in the region. During a 20 month period, we successfully detected, located, and calculated the magnitude of 1774 earthquakes (0–300 km depth) using ElarmS-3, an earthquake early warning algorithm from the University of California, Berkeley. The alert time, or the time between when an earthquake alert is issued and the S-wave arrival at the location, is on average ∼24 s, and 96% of shallow and intermediate depth earthquakes (0–150 km) with M ≥5.0 were alerted. We obtained errors of 0.52 ± 0.43 in magnitude, 30.4 ± 42.72 km in location, 43.5 ± 50.0 km in depth, and 6.6 ± 10.6 s in origin time.

Published: August 2022

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Acute haemotogenous osteomyelitis can occur at any age group but is mainly a disease of children. They are a challenge to differentiate as they have overlapping signs and symptoms. Septic arthritis is considered a surgical emergency while acute osteomyelitis, when presented early can be treated with parenteral antibiotics. There is paucity in the approach (imaging guidelines and treatment) for cases where acute septic arthritis is associated with osteomyelitis. We aimed to analyses the role of pre operative appendicular MRI in the cases of acute bone and joint infection in paediatric age group.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> This is a prospective study done in 38 children suspected to have acute bone and joint infections. All the patients underwent emergency appendicular MRI in the suspicion of bone and joint infections. Based on the MRI findings, all the patients were classified into cases of isolated septic arthritis and cases of septic arthritis with concomitant osteomyelitis. There was a change in the treatment modality between the two categories of patients.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In our study 14 (36.84%) cases of the 38 suspected bone and joint infection had concomitant osteomyelitis with septic arthritis. These 14 cases were seen involving the knee, hip, elbow and shoulder joints. The incidence of septic arthritis with coexisting osteomyelitis was 36.84% in our study, which was diagnosed with pre operative emergency appendicular MRI.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Our study concludes that MRI should be included in the work up for suspected bone and joint infections provided MRI is done in a timely fashion without unnecessarily delaying surgical intervention if needed.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
