Published: November 2022

Probiotics improve gut health; however, their intake through diet is mainly in the form of dairy products, which represents a challenge to lactose-intolerant individuals and vegetarians. This study aimed to determine the prebiotic potential of baobab and to evaluate the potential of using fermented baobab-based beverages as functional foods. The prebiotic content of baobab fruit pulp was determined. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from raw milk samples, identified through phenotypic and molecular methods, and evaluated for their probiotic potential. Three potential non-dairy synbiotic functional beverages using baobab fruit pulp fermented with potential probiotic Limosilactobacillus fermentum and mixed with milk, water, and apple juice separately were produced. The growth and survival of probiotic L. fermentum in the beverages at room (25 °C) and refrigeration (4 °C) temperatures for 3 weeks were determined. Baobab fruit pulp contained phytochemicals, vitamins, fatty acids, inulin, and fructooligosaccharides. Sequence alignment of the LAB isolates identified homologous sequences of Lacticaseibacillus casei, Limosilactobacillus fermentum, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lentilactobacillus buchneri, and Lactiplantibacillus pentosus with 97.2–98.5% similarity. All the lactic acid bacteria did not produce DNAse and gelatinase enzymes, exhibited antagonistic activity against test pathogenic organisms, and demonstrated tolerance to bile salt, simulated gastric juice, and acid. The viability of L. fermentum increased from an initial inoculum size of 106–108 CFU/mL in the baobab-based beverages and remained constant at 108 CFU/mL both at room and refrigeration temperatures. However, after three weeks, the viability of L. fermentum in the synbiotic beverages reduced to 107 CFU/mL. Refrigerated synbiotic beverages had more viable L. fermentum cells (8.04–8log10 CFU/mL) than those stored at room temperatures (7.95–7.7log10 CFU/mL) after three weeks of storage. This study has shown that baobab fruit pulp has prebiotic potential and can be used in the production of a non-dairy functional beverage.

Granulicatella spp. are non-motile, non-sporulating, facultatively anaerobic Gram-positive cocci. Throughout the literature, these organisms have been referred to by several names, such as “nutritionally deficient streptococci”, “vitamin-B dependent streptococci” and “pyridoxal-dependent streptococci”, because of their fastidious nutritional requirements, which can often make culture isolation challenging. Known to be a member of the normal microbiota of the human oral cavity and urogenital and intestinal tracts, similar to other streptococci, Granulicatella spp. can cause bacteremia, sepsis and infective endocarditis. Considering the difficulty in growing this organism on culture medium, the fact that it is now included among the bacteria known to be responsible for culture-negative infective endocarditis suggests that its pathogenic role could be highly underestimated. Moreover, being considered such a rare causative agent, it is not a target of standard antibiotic empiric treatment. We present a rare case of G. elegans endocarditis in a young child and review the medical literature on Granulicatella endocarditis in the pediatric population, with the aim of sharing knowledge about this microorganism, which can be challenging for a clinician who is not familiar with it.

Published: November 2022

Heavy metal tolerance and accumulation potential are the two characteristics most important for plant use in phytoremediation technologies. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to characterize the tolerance of Hylotelephium maximum from coastal drift line vegetation against the biogenous heavy metals Cu, Zn, and Mn and its metal accumulation potential in controlled conditions. Plants were propagated vegetatively and cultivated in an automated greenhouse in a vegetative state (Experiment 1; Cu, Zn, and Mn) and in flowering-inducing conditions (Experiment 2; Mn gradient). In Experiment 1, total shoot biomass was negatively affected only by Mn at 1.0 g L−1, but root growth was significantly inhibited by all metals at this concentration. Plants accumulated 250 mg kg−1 Cu, 3200 mg kg−1 Zn, and >11,000 mg kg Mn−1 in their leaves. In Experiment 2, only new shoot growth was significantly suppressed at 0.5 g L−1 Mn. At the highest concentrations, shoot biomass progressively declined at the level of inhibition of flower and stem growth. Visual toxicity symptoms of Mn appeared 2 weeks after full treatment on leaves of 2.0 g L−1 treated plants as black dots along the main veins and spread over the leaf surface with time. The maximum Mn accumulation capacity was reached in leaves (15,000 mg kg−1), together with a high translocation factor and bioconcentration factor. The obtained results suggest that the particular accession of H. maximum has very good potential for practical phytoremediation purposes.

El infarto omental es un proceso inflamatorio, autolimitado, benigno e infrecuente del epiplón mayor, resultante de compromiso vascular. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 34 años de edad que acude al Servivio de Emergencia con dolor abdominal, tipo “hincada”, localizado en el mesogastrio, con irradiación al cuadrante inferior izquierdo. En el examen físico de abdomen se auscultan ruidos hidroaéreos disminuidos, dolor a la palpación en el flanco izquierdo y en fosa iliaca izquierda, puño percusión lumbar izquierdo (+). La ecografía no fue contributoria y la tomografía reveló, en la fosa iliaca izquierda, una imagen de densidad grasa de 30 mm x 15 mm con halo hiperdenso, adyacente al borde anterior del colon descendente en relación a infarto omental izquierdo. Se resalta la importancia de la presunción diagnóstica y la decisión entre el tratamiento conservador o quirúrgico.

COMPARTILHAMENTO E MICROTERRITORIALIDADES DO ESPAÇO SOCIAL METROPOLITANO
Authors: Heidrich Álvaro Luiz 
Published: November 2022

O objetivo desta explanação é refletir sobre o espaço social e as microterritorialidades da metrópole. Busca-se analisar esse espaço, considerado por Henri Lefebvre como meio e mediação, no qual dois feixes de condicionamentos são importantes: vive-se tanto o cotidiano de integração socioespacial ampla com a propensão significativa da mediação técnica na condução da vida – numa articulação com o global –, como os espaços de vida ordinária, das práticas socioespaciais de vínculos fortemente locais. É uma geografia que se tornou complexa demais, impregnada de planos diferenciados destinados à evitação do conflito, com dinâmicas de usufruto e negação, ocupação e contenção, além de espaço compartilhado por vivências culturais e políticas comuns. Finaliza-se essa discussão tratando-se algumas situações na cidade de Porto Alegre, em relação aos atributos das microterritorialidades para refletir essa complexidade.
UM JOGO DECISIVO, MAS QUE NÃO TERMINA
Authors: Mascarenhas Gilmar 
Published: November 2022

Considerando a possibilidade de reconhecer o estádio de futebol como espaçotempo da cidade, examinamos as transformações nele em curso – privatização, elitização e aumento do controle sobre os corpos – no contexto da produção do urbano capitalista contemporâneo. Para garantir a plena realização da mercadoria, um crescente aparato normativo visa eliminar ou subjugar práticas e usos populares em favor de comportamentos voltados para o consumo passivo. O novo estádio surge como um território onde se disputa o sentido da cidade, acolhendo o processo de espetacularização e a crescente imposição do valor de troca sobre o valor de uso nos espaços de sociabilidade, mas expressando também indícios de resistência do torcedor.

Using social media is an integral part of our lives. It is a great way to connect the world and keep people informed about new happenings around them. Social media has also become a space for people to truly express themselves and make a positive impact on this planet. However, excess use of social media has made it a parasite growing on peoples’ empty minds. The audiences of social media apps are highly influenced by the content they see on them. Social media is said to influence buyer behaviour significantly. Consumer buying behaviour is a combination of customer’s attitudes, intentions, preferences and decisions while purchasing a product or service. Purchases are considered	risky and therefore decision-making processes are information intensive. Growth in Social media marketing over the last 10 years is because of the increasing fame of social media sites such as Twitter and Instagram which promote the habit of living life in quick succession by connecting people through stories and reels, tweets and pictures. The main purpose of this investigation is examining the impact of social media on buying choices of the customers. This investigation was carried by conducting a survey, and by taking interviews. The survey also focuses on understanding the impact of influencers on the audience.
Early communicative gestures in human and chimpanzee 1-year-olds observed across diverse socioecological settings
Authors: Bard Kim A. , Kishimoto Takeshi 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWe investigated the communicative gestures used by chimpanzee and human infants. In contrast to previous studies, we compared the species at the same age (12–14 months) and used multiple groups living in diverse socioecological settings for both species. We recorded gestures produced by infants and those produce by others and directed toward infants. We classified the gestures into the following types: human-usual, chimpanzee-usual, and species-common; and searched for within species and between species differences. We found no significant differences between groups or species in overall rates of infant-produced or infant-received gestures, suggesting that all of these infants produced and received gestures at similar levels. We did find significant differences, however, when we considered the three types of gesture. Chimpanzee infants produced significantly higher rates of chimpanzee-usual gestures, and human infants produced significantly higher rates of human-usual gestures, but there was no significant species difference in the species-common gestures. Reports of species differences in gesturing in young infants, therefore, could be influenced by investigators’ choice of gesture type. Interestingly, we found that 1-year-old infants produced the gesture of “hold mutual gaze" and that the chimpanzee infants had a significantly higher rate than the human infants. We did not find strong evidence that the specific types of gestural environment experienced by young infants influenced the types of gestures that infants produce. We suggest that at this point in development (before human infants use lots of speech), nonverbal communicative gestures may be equally important for human and chimpanzee infants.

Abstract
JWST is here. The early release observation (ERO) program provides us with the first look at the scientific data and the spectral capabilities. One of the targets from the ERO is HAT-P-18b, an inflated Saturn-mass planet with an equilibrium temperature of ∼850 K. We present the NIRISS/SOSS transmission spectrum of HAT-P-18b from 0.6 to 2.8 μm and reveal the planet in the infrared beyond 1.6 μm for the first time. From the spectrum, we see clear water and escaping helium tail features in an otherwise very hazy atmosphere. Our free chemistry retrievals with ATMO show moderate Bayesian evidence (3.79) supporting the presence of methane, but the spectrum does not display any clearly identifiable methane absorption features. The retrieved methane abundance is ∼2 orders of magnitude lower than that of solar composition. The methane-depleted atmosphere strongly rejects simple equilibrium chemistry forward models with solar metallicity and a C/O ratio and disfavors high metallicity (100 times) and a low C/O ratio (0.3). This calls for additional physical processes such as vertical mixing and photochemistry, which can remove methane from the atmosphere.

Abstract
With an increased focus on the observing and modeling of mini-Neptunes, there comes a need to better understand the tools we use to model their atmospheres. In this Paper, we present the protocol for the Comparing Atmospheric Models of Extrasolar Mini-Neptunes Building and Envisioning Retrievals and Transits, CAMEMBERT, project, an intercomparison of general circulation models (GCMs) used by the exoplanetary science community to simulate the atmospheres of mini-Neptunes. We focus on two targets well studied both observationally and theoretically with planned JWST cycle 1 observations: the warm GJ 1214b and the cooler K2-18b. For each target, we consider a temperature-forced case, a clear sky dual-gray radiative transfer case, and a clear sky multiband radiative transfer case, covering a range of complexities and configurations where we know differences exist between GCMs in the literature. This Paper presents all the details necessary to participate in the intercomparison, with the intention of presenting the results in future papers. Currently, there are eight GCMs participating (ExoCAM, Exo-FMS, FMS PCM, Generic PCM, MITgcm, RM-GCM, THOR, and the Unified Model), and membership in the project remains open. Those interested in participating are invited to contact the authors.
Effect of the COVID-19 Lockdown on Myopia Progression of School-aged Children: A Retrospective Chart Review
Authors: Hadi Dalia El , Moukhadder Hassan M. , Mansour Hana , Wehbi Zahi , Ghannam Alaa Bou , Al-Haddad Christiane 
Published: November 2022

Purpose:
To study the effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–related lockdown on myopia progression of school-aged children, comparing across the years and within different age groups.

Methods:
This was a retrospective chart review of school-aged children with myopia who presented to the pediatric ophthalmology clinic at the American University of Beirut between January 2020 and December 2021 (during COVID-19 lockdown). Annual myopia progression rate (back to January 2016) was computed by dividing the absolute value of the spherical equivalent (SE) difference of two consecutive visits by the duration (in years). Demographic data were retrieved. Patients were then divided into three age groups (3 to 10, 11 to 14, and 15 to 18 years) for analysis.

Results:
A total of 443 charts of myopic school-aged children were reviewed. Their average age was 11.81 ± 3.67 years with an average of 3.85 ± 1.67 visits across the years. The mean myopic SE increased over time: SE in 2021 was significantly higher than the mean SE in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. Mean SE in 2020 was significantly higher than that in 2016 and 2017. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean annual progression (in diopters/year). For the 3 to 10 years group, the annual SE progression tended to be highest for 2020–2021 and 2019–2020 compared to previous years.

Conclusions:
Children had more myopia in 2021 and 2020 (during lockdown) compared to previous years. The myopia annual progression tended to be highest in 2020–2021, especially for the younger age group, but the difference was not statistically significant.

High Load of
Demodex
in Young Children With Chalazia
Authors: Xiao Ying , Gao Lu , Shen Li , Yang Chenhao 
Published: November 2022

Purpose:
To investigate the correlation between demodicosis and pediatric chalazia.

Methods:

A case-control prospective study was conducted at Children's Hospital of Fudan University between December 2018 and January 2019. One hundred one consecutive pediatric patients with chalazia and 42 pediatric patients without chalazia underwent eyelash sampling and
Demodex
examination using light microscopy, and mite presence and count were documented.

Results:

The
Demodex
count and prevalence of the chalazia group was much higher than that of the control group (3.06 ± 3.48 vs 0.64 ± 1.17;
P
≤ .001; 73.3% vs 35.7%,
P
≤ .001). The
Demodex
count and prevalence of the multiple chalazia subgroup was much higher than that of the single chalazion subgroup (3.49 ± 3.72 vs 2.00 ± 2.52;
P
= .043; 79.2% vs 58.6%,
P
= .035). The
Demodex
count and prevalence of the chalazia with skin erosion subgroup was much higher than that of the without skin erosion subgroup (3.54 ± 3.14 vs 2.55 ± 3.76;
P
= .012; 82.7% vs 63.3%,
P
= .027). After adjustment for age and gender,
Demodex
count (odds ratio: 1.873; 95% confidence interval: 1.155 to 3.040;
P
= .011) but not presence (
P
= .643) was significantly correlated with chalazia.

Conclusions:

Demodex
mites were more prevalent and quantitative in children with chalazia, and children with severe chalazia had higher
Demodex
prevalence and quantity. High
Demodex
count rather than presence of it was associated with chalazia.
