Abstract. High-mercury wet deposition in the southeastern United
States has been noticed for many years. Previous studies came up with a
theory that it was associated with high-altitude divalent mercury scavenged
by convective precipitation. Given the coarse resolution of previous models
(e.g., GEOS-Chem), this theory is still not fully tested. Here we employed a
newly developed WRF-GEOS-Chem (WRF-GC; WRF: Weather Research Forecasting) model implemented with mercury
simulation (WRF-GC-Hg v1.0). We conduct extensive model benchmarking by
comparing WRF-GC with different resolutions (from 50 to 25 km) to
GEOS-Chem output (4∘ × 5∘) and data from
the Mercury Deposition Network (MDN) in July–September 2013. The comparison of
mercury wet deposition from two models presents high-mercury wet
deposition in the southeastern United States. We divided simulation results
by heights (2, 4, 6, 8 km), different types of precipitation
(large-scale and convective), and combinations of these two variations
together and find most mercury wet deposition concentrates on higher level
and is caused by convective precipitation. Therefore, we conclude that it is
the deep convection that caused enhanced mercury wet deposition in the
southeastern United States.
The Resource Class: Measuring Economic Inequality in Resource Curse States
Authors: Arbucias Daniel 
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT
This work conducts a comparative analysis on how diamonds and petroleum produce differing types of economic inequality in resource curse states, contributing to institutional entropy. By arguing for the causal primacy of resources in types of eventuated curses, this approach posits the concept of a “resource class” in diamond- and petroleum-producing resource curse states. Strength tests of resource classes against a variety of independent variables finds that petroleum-based resource classes funnel revenues to fewer, more powerful individuals than diamond-based classes, at the expense of currency stability, equal opportunity for women and minorities, and competing interest groups. Conversely, diamond resource classes tend to be more egalitarian, yet a negative correlation is observed between the market economy and diamond production among cursed states.

Published: May 2022

Cancer is a major public health concern in both developed and developing countries. Anticancer activity refers to the ability of natural and synthetic, biological and chemical agents to revert, stop, or halt carcinogenic progression. To treat the ailment, several synthetic pharmaceuticals are utilised, but they have negative effects, thus researchers are investigating into plant-derived chemotherapeutic treatments. Enhalus acoroides, a member of the Hydrocharitaceae family, is found along the southeast coast of India and the tropical western Pacific. Hydroalcoholic extract of Enhalus acoroides inhibits the proliferation of Liver cancer and Breast cancer. The cell viability was analysed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, which shows that Hydroalcoholic extract of Enhalus acoroides significantly reduced the growth with IC50 value for HepG2 as 112.20μg/ml and MCF-7 as 101.60μg/ml. Hence the results of current study conclude that Hydroalcoholic extract of Enhalus acoroides is a potent anticancer drug that can be utilized for the treatment of Hepatocellular cancer and Breast cancer.
"El que es perico, donde quiera es verde" Manejo de estrés de maestros en contextos desafiantes en El Salvador
Authors: Schmalenbach Christine , Roos Stefanie 
Published: May 2022

La docencia como profesión conlleva muchos factores estresantes, especialmente cuando se ejerce en contextos adversos como los de vecindarios de alto riesgo en El Salvador. Durante un estudio etnográfico en una escuela de un barrio de alto riesgo en El Salvador, los maestros describieron las estrategias que usaban para lidiar con esa circunstancia. Sus comentarios fueron analizados por medio de codificación abierta y el desarrollo de categorías. Luego fueron examinadas a la luz del marco transaccional de Lazarus y Folkman. Entre otras estrategias, el afrontamiento por medio de construcción de significado parece relevante, como la fe en Dios. Por otro lado, una meta mínima parece ser lograr una conciencia limpia después de haber tratado todo lo que parece posible. Sin embargo, cuando un docente llega a la conclusión de que ha intentado todo lo posible demasiado temprano, Esto puede frenar el desarrollo de nuevas estrategias y relaciones de apoyo mutuo. Capacitaciones e ideas para el desarrollo escolar sobre autoeficacia y apoyo social parecen prometedoras.

Published: May 2022

Introduction:
Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) is a well-known orthopaedic manifestation in patients with myelomeningocele. The rib-based growing system (RBGS) has been proposed as an alternative for these individuals because of the poor outcomes with traditional surgical techniques. We aimed to describe the effect of RBGS in patients with nonambulatory EOS myelomeningocele.

Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the Pediatric Spine Study Group Multicenter Database for all patients with nonambulatory EOS myelomeningocele treated with RBGS from 2004 to 2019. Demographics, surgical data, radiographic findings, and postoperative complications were obtained. The quality-of-life parameters were assessed postoperatively using the Early-onset Scoliosis Questionnaire-24.

Results:
Thirty patients (18 women; 60%) were patients with nonambulatory EOS myelomeningocele treated with RBGS. The mean age at the initial surgery was 5.3 years. The thoracic (T1-T12) spine height showed a significant increase from initial surgery to the most recent follow-up (P < 0.001). Spine (T1-S1) height was also significantly increased (P < 0.001). The postoperative complication rate was 87%. The Early-onset Scoliosis Questionnaire-24 demonstrates significant improvements in the quality-of-life scores (P = 0.037).

Conclusion:
This study demonstrated that RBGS could improve the reported quality-of-life scores in patients with nonambulatory EOS myelomeningocele when assessed with an EOS-oriented tool. Moreover, we confirmed the ability of RBGS to hold or even correct spinal deformity.
Workload Responses to Sensory-Motor Tasks Under Time Pressure in Life Sciences Labs: Effects of Task Complexity
Authors: Riegera Annika , Stollb Regina , Thurowa Kerstin , Weippertab Matthias 
Published: May 2022

The aim of this study was to assess workload response during a simulated pipetting task of different complexity under time pressure conditions. Thirty healthy volunteers (12 female / 18 male) gave their written informed consent to take part. After training they underwent a standardized test protocol including a baseline measurement (REST), a control pipetting condition under time pressure (CON), a complex pipetting task under time pressure (COMP), and recovery (RECOV). To avoid order effects pipetting tasks have been carried out in a counterbalanced order. Measurements included heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), breathing rate (BR), as well as diastolic and systolic blood pressure (DBP, SBP). NASA TLX was applied in order to assess perceived workload. There were minor, but significant elevations of HR, BR, SBP during CON and COMP when compared to REST and RECOV. However, with the exception of HRV measures, physiological data were not sensitive to variations in cognitive demands between the two pipetting conditions. Further, perceived mental effort differed significantly between CON and COMP and thus mirrored the different complexity of tasks. It can be concluded that the addition of cognitive demands under sensory-motor demands can be reflected by some HRV indices and subjective workload ratings but not by HR, BR and BP.

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global epidemic since late 2019. From the results of the analysis, it was found that curcumin compounds have good pharmacokinetics and potential as drugs. The result of visualization of protein-ligand complex showed that curcumin compound had good stability interaction. The molecular docking method for predicting the structure of protein-compound complexes is called protein-ligand docking. Curcumin compounds have a higher affinity than bisdemethoxycurcumin and oseltamivir. The purpose of the study was to find the active compounds contained in the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa L.) which have antiviral activity by inhibiting the SARS-CoV-2 protein.
A Path Model to Infer Mathematics Performance: The Interrelated Impact of Motivation, Attitude, Learning Style and Teaching Strategies Variables
Authors: Marvin G. Pizon  , Shiryl T. Ytoc  
Published: May 2022

The present study aims at exploring predictors influencing mathematics performance. In particular, the study focuses in four subject’s components such as motivation, attitude towards mathematics, learning style, and teaching strategies. A sample of 240 students from Agusan del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology (ASSCAT) were involved in the study. Path analysis was used to test the direct and indirect relations between the predictors and mathematics performance. Based on the result, the calculation of reproduced correlation through path decompositions and subsequent comparison to the empirical correlation indicated that the path model fits the empirical data. Results also revealed that a large proportion of mathematics performance can be directly predicted from attitude towards mathematics, learning style, and teaching strategies. Moreover, attitude towards mathematics, learning style, and teaching strategies influence mathematics performance in direct and indirect ways.

Published: May 2022

Background. Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are routinely prescribed antiplatelet treatment (APT) after revascularisation. An exception are patients who receive anticoagulant treatment (ACT) due to comorbidity. We set out to determine possible differences in the effectiveness and safety between ACT and APT in patients who underwent endovascular revascularisation of the lower limb arteries.

Methods. In a single-centre retrospective study, we analysed the data of 1,587 consecutive patients with PAD who underwent successful endovascular revascularisation of the lower limb arteries due to disabling intermittent claudication or chronic critical limb ischemia in a 5-year period. Patients were divided in the ACT and APT group based on their prescribed treatment. After balancing both groups' baseline characteristics and cardiovascular risk factors with propensity score matching (PSM), we compared the effectiveness and safety of both treatment regimens in the first year afterrevascularisation.

Results. Compared to patients with APT, patients with ACT were older, more often reported arterial hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, ischaemic heart disease, and a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack. After PSM, the odds ratio (OR) for an effective outcome with ACT versus APT was 0.78 (95% CI 0.39–1.59; p=0.502), while the OR for a safe outcome with ACT versus APT was 4.12 (95% CI 0.82–20.73; p=0.085).

Conclusions. Patients who required ACT were older, had more cardiovascular risk factors, and more advanced PAD than patients with APT. After matching, we found no statistically significant difference in the effectiveness and safety of both treatment regimens.
The choice of reference point for computing sagittal plane angular momentum affects inferences about dynamic balance
Authors: Liu Chang , Park Sungwoo , Finley James 
Published: May 2022

Background
Measures of whole-body angular momentum in the sagittal plane are commonly used to characterize dynamic balance during human walking. To compute angular momentum, one must specify a reference point about which momentum is calculated. Although biomechanists primarily compute angular momentum about the center of mass (CoM), momentum-based controllers for humanoid robots often use the center of pressure. Here, we asked if the choice of the reference point influences interpretations of how dynamic balance is controlled in the sagittal plane during perturbed walking.

Methods
Eleven healthy young individuals walked on a dual-belt treadmill at their self-selected speed. Balance disturbances were generated by treadmill accelerations of varying magnitudes and directions. We computed angular momentum about two reference points: (1) the CoM or (2) the leading edge of the base of support and then projected it along the mediolateral axes that pass through either of the reference points as the sagittal plane angular momentum. We also performed principal component analysis to determine if the choice of reference point influences our interpretations of how intersegmental coordination patterns contribute to perturbation recovery.

Results
We found that the peak angular momentum was correlated with perturbation amplitude and the slope of this relationship did not differ between reference points. One advantage of using a reference point at the CoM is that one can easily determine how the momenta from contralateral limbs, such as the left and right legs, offset one another to regulate the whole-body angular momentum. Alternatively, analysis of coordination patterns referenced to the leading edge of the base of support may provide more insight into the inverted-pendulum dynamics of walking during responses to sudden losses of balance.
Spatial Relationship Perception is Not Affected by Short-term Cortical Reorganization
Authors: Aleci Carlo , Rosa Claudio , Mazzon Alessia 
Published: May 2022

Aims: Long-term cortical reorganization after cortical damage can induce abnormal spatial relationship perception (spatial anisotropy) but there is also evidence of short-term, reversible cortical re-modulation even in the absence of cerebral damage: simulated hemianopic deprivation, in fact, is found to affect the positional judgment. This study investigates if the same occurs for spatial relationship perception.
Study Design: Case series.
Place and duration of Study: Service of Neuro-Ophthalmology, University of Turin, Italy, from January 2020 to July 2020.
Methodology: Spatial relationship perception (SRP) of three subjects was measured in the presence of simulated homonymous hemianopia with a psychophysical procedure that estimates the discrimination threshold between elliptical and circular stimuli centered to the fixation point. The extent of the deprivation was graded as the distance of the proximal border of the nonresponsive area from the fixation point.
Results: Overall, spatial relationship perception is not affected by the hemifield deprivation in terms of distance of the scotoma from the fixation point (P= 0.26), laterality (P= 0.07), and distance X laterality (P= 0.15). However, a significant effect of distance and laterality (P= 0.01 and P= 0.02, respectively) was found in the sole observer who showed an anisotropic perception in normal (no-simulated) condition.
Conclusion: SRP appears to be robust toward the reversible spatial remapping induced by simulated hemianopia along the deprived area. However, the response of the visual system to artificial visual deprivation seems conditioned by pre-existing anisotropy.
