Background and purpose:

Plantago major has been applied as a herbal remedy for centuries. However, studies on anti-inflammatory activities and their chemical ingredients are limited. The objective of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory properties of P. major in three animal models and its phytochemical contents.

Experimental approach:
Dichloromethane extract (DCM) of P. major was fractionated with n-hexane to yield the soluble (SHF) and insoluble (IHF) fractions. The anti-inflammatory activities of DCM, SHF, and IHF were evaluated using rat’s paw edema induced by carrageenan, thioglycolate-induced leukocyte emigration in the mice, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) induced by complete Freund’s adjuvants in rats. The chemical constituents were analyzed using a high-resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS).

Findings / Results:
The DCM, SHF, and IHF inhibited paw edema in the rats and reduced the leukocyte migration in the mice. At dose 560 mg/kg, the percentage of inhibitory was 47.33%, 55.51%, and 46.61% for the DCM, IHF, and SHF, respectively. In the RA animal model, IHF at 280 and 560 mg/kg reduced osteoclast formation and COX-2 expression compared to diclofenac. Some compounds namely oleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and oleamide identified in the DCM, IHF, and SHF may be responsible for these activities.

Conclusion and implications:
This study showed that P. major has several in-vivo anti-inflammatory activities.

Authors: Singh Varinder , Sawarkar Punam , Sawarkar Gaurav , Parwe Shweta 
Published: October 2022

Background: Cerebrovascular complaint is the third most common cause of death in high-income countries after cancers and ischemic heart complaint and the most common cause of severe physical disability. In India, studies estimate that prevalence of stroke varies from 116 to 163 per population. According to ICMR, stroke is the 4th leading cause of death and the 5th leading cause of disability acclimated lifetime (DALY). Stroke is the most common clinical incarnation of Cerebrovascularcomplaint and results in occurrences of brain dysfunction due to focal ischemia or Haemorrhage. Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (SAH) and cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) will be bandied independently since their pathophysiology, clinical instantiations, and operation are distinct from a stroke. Material &Methods: An 83 years old male K/ H/ O HTNwas diagnosed with an AvaranajanyaPakshaghata with a clinical point. There was a loss of function in the left lower and upper limbs. He was not able to stand without proper support. He was having weakness of the left upper and lower limbs. He was treated with Shaman Chikitsa followed by ShodhanChikitsa as SarvanagaAbhyanga, Marsha Nasya, ShashtiShaliPindaSwedana, Shirodhara, AnuvasanaBasti, and NiruhaBasti for 15 days. Result: The patient was assessed with gold standard stroke parameters, i.e., Barthel Index & National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIH-SS), in which scores were turned from 15 & 21 to 65 & 9, respectively. Moreover, significant changes and improvements were observed in clinical features OF Pakshaghata before and after treatment. Conclusion: In this case, there is an involvement of Aama as an Avarana on Vata, which is vitiating the VataRoga and causes Pakshaghat.This first line of Treatment was under the elimination of the Aama involvement from Chief Complaints. It was done by Deepana- Pachana medicine as Shaman Chikitsa. After that, the ShodhanChikitsa was started by gaining the Nirama condition of Doshas. A significant improvement was observed by combining the Shaman and ShodhanChikitsa strategically.

Environment-Induced Cracking of High-Strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu Aluminum Alloys: Past, Present, and Future
Authors: Holroyd N.J. Henry , Burnett Tim L. , Lewandowski John J. , Scamans Geoffrey M. 
Published: October 2022

Environment-induced cracking (EIC) during commercial use of aluminum alloys started over 125 y ago (mid-1890s), some 45 y earlier than previously documented, with earliest failures for Al-Zn-Mg-Cu, 7xxx series alloys occurring a decade later. Needs for lighter, thicker, and stronger alloy products, first driven by WW1 and WW2 militaristic requirements and subsequently by relentless demands from modern aircraft industry designers, resulted in major in-service EIC in commercial high-strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys in the United States and United Kingdom during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. These were avoidable had research findings from France, Germany, and Japan from the 1930s and 1940s been implemented. Unprecedented U.S. Government R&D funding during the late 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s led to AA7050 and similar alloys, that essentially eliminated EIC issues during commercial usage for several decades. EIC assessment for the following “new-generation” high-strength alloys relied totally on standard ASTM test methods, incapable of providing data directly relatable to the service conditions. Although EIC service issues for the latest generation of 7xxx series alloys remains manageable, the premature appearance of EIC requires a quantitative understanding of EIC initiation under environmental and mechanical conditions directly relatable to intended use, to prevent unexpected failures for future alloys. Directions for future high-strength 7xxx series aluminum alloy development and EIC assessment to provide quantitative data relatable to service conditions and input for structural design and for service life prediction are discussed.

One Public
Authors: Landis Kevin 
Published: October 2022

Since its founding by Joseph Papp in the 1950s, The Public Theater has been an American artistic leader defined by its breadth of programming, from Hair and A Chorus Line, to Free Shakespeare in the Park. With the recent critical and financial success of Fun Home and Hamilton, and its emphasis on new play development, The Public’s contemporary history has been equally remarkable, even as world crises and social changes have tested the mettle of its foundation of accessible and "radically inclusive" theatre for all.
One Public: New York’s Public Theater in the Era of Oskar Eustis presents the broader organization, its creative methodology, and its enormous growth over the past 20 years. Framed by the tenure and leadership of its current artistic director, the book tells the contemporary story, recorded over many interviews with iconic practitioners and performers ranging from Diane Paulus, Tony Kushner and Lynn Nottage to Kevin Kline, Chelsea Clinton and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Case-study driven, One Public uses oral history accounts and authorial experience to illuminate The Public Theater, Eustis and their cultural influence on the city of New York and the greater United States. The story highlights the successes and challenges of an institution at once espousing a mission of inclusivity and community-based arts creation, while also developing Broadway hits and international fame.
Britney Spears' Blackout
Authors: Lasky Natasha 
Published: October 2022

Britney Spears barely survived 2007. She divorced her husband, lost custody of her kids, went to rehab, shaved her head and assaulted a paparazzo. In the midst of her public breakdown, she managed to record an album, Blackout. Critics thought it spelled the end for Britney Spears’ career.
But Blackout turned out to be one of the most influential albums of the aughts. It not only brought glitchy digital noise and dubstep into the Top 40, but also transformed Britney into a new kind of pop star, one who shrugged off mainstream ubiquity for the devotion of smaller groups of fans who worshipped her idiosyncratic sound.
This book returns to the grimy clubs and paparazzi hangouts of LA in the 2000s as well as the blogs and forums of the early internet to show how Blackout was a crucial hinge between twentieth and twenty-first-century pop.
Earth, Wind & Fire's That’s the Way of the World
Authors: Brooks Dwight E. 
Published: October 2022

Dwight E. Brooks deep dives into Earth, Wind & Fire's That's The Way of the World. Alongside interview material from members Phillip Bailey and Verdine White, he analyses how this album shattered musical barriers, transcended genres, and paid homage to African and American traditions.
Understanding TTWOTW requires appreciating EWF founder Maurice White's multifaceted vision for his band. White created a band that performed various styles of music that sought to uplift humanity. His musicians personified a new form of Black masculinity rooted in dignity that embraced diverse spiritualities and healthy living. A complete understanding of TTWOTW also necessitates an awareness of American racial dynamics and changes in the popular music industry in the 1960s and '70s.
EWF's landmark album TTWOTW presented hopeful messages about the world that were sorely needed at the time. TTWOTW did not tell listeners exactly how to live, but instead how they can live in a quest for self-actualization. The songs encourage us to yearn, learn, love, see, listen, and feel happy. If art can help mold a better future, than EWF's musical legacy of positivity and self-empowerment will continue to contribute to personal growth and social change even as their melodies linger.

Published: October 2022

BackgroundWork addiction it is an emerging topic in organizational research because it has a great impact on human resources, especial-ly in the health sector, and has led to the development of a number of valid assessment tools. Among work addiction scales, the Bergen Work Addiction Scale (BWAS) has good psychometric properties and a small number of items, and comes with a recommended cut-off for categorization of work addiction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the BWAS in a Greek sample of health professionals (HPs) and to measure their work addiction.Participants and procedureA cross sectional study using an online questionnaire related to work addiction was completed by 542 HPs through the offi-cial websites of 8 secondary hospitals in Greece.ResultsThe level of HPs’ work addiction was moderate. The internal structure of the scale was satisfactory (α = .78). All seven items of the BWAS were significant and had standardized values above 0.48. Work addiction was significantly associated with older age and the profession of physician.ConclusionsBased on the findings of the present study, the Greek BWAS has good psychometric properties, such as good reliability, internal consistency and construct validity and is recommended as a suitable tool to assess work addiction in clinical settings and future research.
Source apportionment resolved by time of day for improved deconvolution of primary source contributions to air pollution

Published: October 2022

Abstract. Present methodologies for source apportionment assume
fixed source profiles. Since meteorology and human activity patterns change
seasonally and diurnally, application of source apportionment techniques to
shorter rather than longer time periods generates more representative mass
spectra. Here, we present a new method to conduct source apportionment
resolved by time of day using the underlying approach of positive matrix
factorization (PMF). We call this approach “time-of-day PMF” and
statistically demonstrate the improvements in this approach over traditional
PMF. We report on source apportionment conducted on four example time
periods in two seasons (winter and monsoon seasons of 2017), using organic aerosol
measurements from an aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ACSM). We deploy
the EPA PMF tool with the underlying Multilinear Engine (ME-2) as the PMF
solver. Compared to the traditional seasonal PMF approach, we extract a
larger number of factors as well as PMF factors that represent the expected
sources of primary organic aerosol using time-of-day PMF. By capturing
diurnal time series patterns of sources at a low computational cost,
time-of-day PMF can utilize large datasets collected using long-term
monitoring and improve the characterization of sources of organic aerosol
compared to traditional PMF approaches that do not resolve by time of day.
Evolution and mechanism configuration synthesis of chamber clocks movement prior to 1700
Authors: Lin Tsung-Yi , Lin Wen-Feng 
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Chamber clocks are weight-driven wall clocks and the first type of domestic clocks to be widely used in the home. During the 16th and 17th
centuries, although horologists in Europe made various types of chamber clocks in large numbers, many of the clocks have since been either replaced or discarded. In this study, we used the method of mechanical evolution and variation, analyzed and compared clock movements based on historical data and existing clocks, and synthesized all possible movement configurations of early-day chamber clocks. A total of 4 going-train configurations and 10 striking-train configurations were identified, making a total of 40 feasible movement configurations. In addition, 14 existing representative chamber clocks were selected as examples to illustrate the above configurations and their variations, which enabled the creation of a comprehensive atlas of the movement designs. The results of the study can not only help to systematically carry out the reconstruction design of various chamber clocks, but also provide new information for scholars of history of science to further historical research and develop new materials for creativity as well as science and technology education.
Interactions between precipitation, evapotranspiration and soil-moisture-based indices to characterize drought with high-resolution remote sensing and land-surface model data

Published: October 2022

Abstract. The Iberian Peninsula is prone to drought due to the high variability in the Mediterranean climate with severe consequences for drinking water supply, agriculture, hydropower and ecosystem functioning. Because of the
complexity and relevance of droughts in this region, it is necessary to
increase our understanding of the temporal interactions of precipitation,
evapotranspiration and soil moisture that originate from drought within the
Ebro basin, in northeastern Spain, as the study region. Remote sensing and
land-surface models provide high-spatial-resolution and high-temporal-resolution data to characterize evapotranspiration and soil moisture anomalies in detail. The increasing availability of these datasets has the potential to overcome the lack of in situ observations of evapotranspiration and soil moisture. In this study, remote sensing data of evapotranspiration from MOD16A2 and soil moisture data from SMOS1km as well as SURFEX-ISBA land-surface model data are used to calculate the evapotranspiration deficit index (ETDI) and the soil moisture deficit index (SMDI) for the period 2010–2017. The study compares the remote sensing time series of the ETDI and SMDI with the ones estimated using the land-surface model SURFEX-ISBA, including the standardized precipitation index (SPI) computed at a weekly scale. The study focuses on the analysis of the time lags between the indices to identify the synchronicity and memory of the anomalies between precipitation, evapotranspiration and soil moisture. Lag analysis results demonstrate the capabilities of the SPI, ETDI and SMDI drought indices computed at a weekly scale to give information about the mechanisms of drought propagation at distinct levels of the land–atmosphere system. Relevant feedback for both antecedent and subsequent conditions is identified, with a preeminent role of evapotranspiration in the link between rainfall and soil moisture. Both
remote sensing and the land-surface model show capability to characterize
drought events, with specific advantages and drawbacks of the remote sensing and land-surface model datasets. Results underline the value of analyzing drought with dedicated indices, preferably at a weekly scale, to better identify the quick self-intensifying and mitigating mechanisms governing drought, which are relevant for drought monitoring in semi-arid areas.
