Background: The grieving process following perinatal loss caused by life-limiting conditions presents some particularities associated with the family's culture and the symbolic relationship with the deceased. Objective: To reflect on the symbolic meaning attributed to mementos, particularly pictures taken immediately after birth. Method: Case study–a qualitative analysis of the data collected through semidirected interviews. Results: Of the three women that took part in the study, one woman chose not to take a picture but opted to take home the hat with her son's name on it that was provided as a regular procedure for every birth at the maternity centre. During the interview, she questioned her decision. The two other women took pictures and still look at them affectionate. One of the women keeps the picture of her child in a shrine at home, thus attributing a symbolic religious meaning to the whole experience that alleviates her pain. Conclusion: The symbolic meaning attributed to pictures of the deceased can help parents process grief.

Authors: Bradshaw CJ , Skerritt C , Rhodes H , Hall NJ , Woodward M , McCarthy L 
Published: June 2022

Introduction Recent consensus statements recommend that orchidopexy for undescended testis is performed between 6 and 12 months of age. We designed a survey to determine what age consultant surgeons believe is the optimal age for orchidopexy as well as surveying other aspects of surgery for testicular maldescent. Methods An anonymous survey was distributed to 122 UK consultants who participated in an international prospective audit of orchidopexy outcomes. Preferences and management strategies were compared between different groups of surgeons (specialist paediatric general surgeons, specialist paediatric urologists and general surgeons/urologists with an interest in general surgery of childhood [but who mainly treat adult patients]). Results There were 105 responses (62 specialist paediatric surgeons, 30 specialist paediatric urologists and 13 general surgeons/urologists) from 25 centres. The overall response rate was 86%. The median preferred age for orchidopexy was 10.5 months (range: 3–24 months). This differed significantly between groups, with a median of 12 months among specialist paediatric surgeons, 9 months among specialist paediatric urologists and 12 months among general surgeons/urologists (p = 0.001). Fifty-one consultants (49%) stated that the optimal age to perform orchidopexy was twelve months or more. Respondents cited concerns about the possible long-term effects of general anaesthesia at a young age and higher atrophy rates in younger children as the main reasons for postponing orchidopexy until 12 months. Conclusions There remains no consensus among surgeons as to the optimal age for orchidopexy. Management practice of undescended testis varies across different surgical specialties, particularly with regard to optimal age of surgery.
Spatial modelling for population replacement of mosquito vectors at continental scale

Published: June 2022

Malaria is one of the deadliest vector-borne diseases in the world. Researchers are developing new genetic and conventional vector control strategies to attempt to limit its burden. Novel control strategies require detailed safety assessment to ensure responsible and successful deployments. Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (s.s.) and Anopheles coluzzii, two closely related subspecies within the species complex Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.), are among the dominant malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa. These two subspecies readily hybridise and compete in the wild and are also known to have distinct niches, each with spatially and temporally varying carrying capacities driven by precipitation and land use factors.
We model the spread and persistence of a population-modifying gene drive system in these subspecies across sub-Saharan Africa by simulating introductions of genetically modified mosquitoes across the African mainland and its offshore islands. We explore transmission of the gene drive between the two subspecies that arise from different hybridisation mechanisms, the effects of both local dispersal and potential wind-aided migration to the spread, and the development of resistance to the gene drive. Given the best current available knowledge on the subspecies’ life histories, we find that an introduced gene drive system with typical characteristics can plausibly spread from even distant offshore islands to the African mainland with the aid of wind-driven migration, with resistance beginning to take over within a decade. Our model accounts for regional to continental scale mechanisms, and demonstrates a range of realistic dynamics including the effect of prevailing wind on spread and spatio-temporally varying carrying capacities for subspecies. As a result, it is well-placed to answer future questions relating to mosquito gene drives as important life history parameters become better understood.

Introduction
The willingness of Africa’s population to patronise the COVID-19 vaccines is critical to the efficiency of national immunisation programmes. This study surveys the views of adult African inhabitants toward vaccination and the possibility of participating or not participating in governments’ efforts to get citizens vaccinated.

Method
A cross-sectional online survey of adult Africans was undertaken from December 2020 to March 2021. Responses were anonymised. The Pearson Chi-square test was performed to determine whether or not there were any variations in knowledge, awareness, perception and acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccines among the participants. Binomial logistic regression was used to evaluate the factors associated with willingness to accept the COVID-19 vaccines and participate in immunisation programmes.

Results
The results indicate that COVID-19 vaccines are more likely to be used by adult Africans over the age of 18 who are largely technologically savvy (55 percent) if the vaccine is made broadly available. A total of 33 percent of those who responded said they were unlikely to receive the vaccine, with another 15 percent stating they were undecided. Aside from that, we found that vaccine hesitancy was closely associated with socio-demographic characteristics such as age, gender, education and source of information. We also found that there were widespread conspiracies and myths about the COVID-19 vaccines.

Conclusion
More than one-third of African adults who participated in the survey indicated they would not receive the COVID-19 vaccine, with majority of them expressing skepticisms about the vaccine’s efficacy. It is possible that many of the people who would not be vaccinated would have an impact on the implementation of a COVID-19 immunisation programme that is meant for all of society. Majority of the respondents were unwilling to pay for the COVID-19 vaccines when made available. An awareness campaign should be focused on promoting the benefits of vaccination at the individual and population levels, as well as on taking preemptive actions to debunk misconceptions about the vaccines before they become further widespread.
BR2 cell penetrating peptide effectively delivers anti-p21Ras scFv to tumor cells with ganglioside expression for therapy of ras-driven tumor
Authors: Yu Ting , Shi Yingxian , Pan Xinyan , Feng Qiang , Wang Peng , Song Shuling , Yang Lilin , Yang Julun 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
Cell membrane penetrating peptide BR2 can bind with ganglioside and introduce foreign drugs into tumor cells. In this study, we employed BR2 to carry the broad-spectrum anti-p21Ras scFv prepared in our laboratory into ganglioside expressing tumor cells for therapy of ras-driven tumors.

Methods
BR2-p21Ras scFv gene was cloned to prokaryotic expression vector and expressed in E. coli BL21, then the fusion protein was purified with HisPur Ni-NTA. The immunoreactivity of the fusion protein with p21Ras was detected by ELISA and western blotting. The membrane-penetrating and immune co-localization with p21Ras of the fusion protein were determined by immunofluorescence. The antitumor activity was investigated using MTT, wound healing, colone formation, and apoptosis assays in vitro.

Results
BR2-p21Ras scFv fusion protein was successfully expressed and purified. We found that the fusion protein could specifically penetrate into human tumor cell lines which express ganglioside including human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH, human colon cancer cell line HCT116 and human glioma cell line U251. After entering tumor cells the fusion protein bonded specifically with p21Ras. In vitro experiments revealed that it could significantly inhibit the proliferation, migration, and colone formation of HCT116, SK-N-SH, and U251 cells and promote the apoptosis of these tumor cells.

Conclusions
BR2-p21Ras scFv can penetrate ganglioside expressing tumor cells and inhibit the growth of ras-driven tumor by binding with p21Ras, and producing an inhibitory effect. It is suggested that BR2-p21Ras scFv is a potential ras-driven tumor therapeutic antibody.

Background: Adolescent obesity is related to the risk of metabolic syndrome. Several studies have proven the effect of dietary interventions on metabolic parameters in obese individuals. A source of complex carbohydrates that is still rarely developed in the obese diet is sorghum which contains resistant starch.Objective: The study was to reveal the effect of sorghum cookies on Fasting Glucose (FG), Triglycerides (TG), High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), and Body Fat Percentage (BFP) in obese adolescents.Materials and Methods: This quasi-experiment with the pre-post control-group design was conducted on 20 boys and 20 girls (divided into 10-boy control group, 10-girl control group, 10-girl intervention group, and 10-girls intervention group) with the age range of 13–15 years who attended Junior High School 14 Semarang chosen by consecutive sampling. Weight, Height, and BFP were measured directly by BIA. Metabolic parameters (FG, TG, and HDL levels) were taken through venous and 10-hour fasting. Energy intake and physical activity were taken by interview using the food recall questionnaire for 6 days randomly and IPAQ. The intervention of sorghum cookies was given in 90 grams/day with 473 kcal/day for 28 days. The analysis of the effect of the intervention was conducted by a paired t-test and independent t-test.Results: At 28-days sorghum cookies intervention resulted in lower levels of FG, TG, and BFP in the intervention boy group (p < 0.05) and BFP in the girl group (p < 0.05). The intervention of sorghum cookies showed no effect on HDL levels in boys, and it did not affect FG, TG, or HDL levels of the girl subjects (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Obese adolescents who had been receiving intervention of 90 grams of sorghum cookies for 28 days appeared to have lower levels of fasting glucose, triglycerides, and body fat percentage.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
The tribocorrosion performance of low-temperature steels is vital for use in hostile environments. This study aims to investigate the tribocorrosion behavior of FH36 low-temperature steel with two distinct microstructures of tempered martensite (TM) and tempered sorbite (TS), respectively. Also, the coefficient of friction, surface morphologies, electrochemical properties, and corrosion features of the two steels were investigated. The results showed that the TM and TS steel exhibited outstanding impact toughness values of 239 and 306 J at −60°C, respectively. The friction coefficient and the electrochemical impedance in the TM steel were lower than those of the TS steel, while the scratch was deeper and narrower in the TM steel. Both the microstructure and the electrochemical corrosion affect the wear resistance of the low-temperature steels during the tribocorrosion process. The friction can accelerate the adsorption of Cl− ions that enrich the pits near the scratches, and the pitting of the TM steel was severe.

Abstract
Resilience, a psychological individual difference variable, has not received adequate scholarly attention in education contexts. The present study investigated the resilience level among 273 university EFL learners in China with T.-Y. Kim and Kim’s (2017. The impact of resilience on L2 learners’ motivated behaviour and proficiency in L2 learning. Educational Studies 43(1). 1–15) scale, which comprised five sub-components of resilience in the Korean EFL context. Confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis showed that self-regulation, one sub-component identified in the Korean context, was also found in the factorial structure of resilience in the Chinese EFL context; accordingly, self-regulation was hypothesised to be a “Resilience Core” that can be found in different learning contexts. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that the selected sociobiographical variables (e.g., a global measure of multilingualism, GMM) affected resilience and “Resilience Core” to varying degrees; for example, L2 joy (ΔR
2 = 14.2–23.3%) and GMM (2.9–7.8%) emerged as important predictors for resilience because their minimum ΔR
2 exceeded the “typical” effect size benchmark (1%).

Abstract

Objectives
An evaluation the effects of curcumin on inflammatory markers and lipid profiles among patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD).

Methods
The electronic databases such as PubMed, and Scopus were searched systematically up until 12 December 2021. To evaluate the quality of the included studies, the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials was utilized. Likewise, data pooling was performed using a random effects model, also called a variance components model. Also, the findings were calculated as weighted mean difference (WMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results
In the end, this meta-analysis comprised a total number of nine studies. Curcumin intake significantly reduced total cholesterol (TC) (WMD=−13.77 mg/dL; 95% CI, −26.77, −0.77; p=0.04) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (WMD=−18.87 pg/mL; 95% CI, −28.36, −9.38; p<0.001) compared with controls. The results did not confirm the significant effect of curcumin intake on triglyceride (TG) (WMD=−6.37 mg/dL; 95% CI, −26.59, 13.85; p=0.54), low-density lipoproteins (LDL-C) (WMD=−5.65 mg/dL; 95% CI, −20.81, 9.50; p=0.46), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) (WMD=0.16 mg/dL; 95% CI, −2.55, 2.88; p=0.91), and C-reactive protein (CRP) (WMD=−0.13 mg/L; 95% CI, −3.25, 3.30; p=0.93).

Conclusions
Our study showed that curcumin significantly impacts TC and TNF levels in CKD patients.

Abstract
There are flow research centers on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) emission of auxiliary liquid in an extended region. The prevailing model is constrained by attractions/infusion and gooey release. The administering model is based on the Koo–Kleinstreuer–Li nanofluid model in the existence of entropy generation. Final requirements of this model are addressed by implementing the shooting strategy, which incorporates a fourth approach for the Runge–Kutta strategy. Into the bargain, the last adds (in standard ordinary differential equations (ODE) divisions) are obtained from the measurable controls partial differential equations, which were represented toward the start of the overseeing model. The varieties for all boundaries are exhibited through graphical arrangements. It is noticed that expanding the substantial volume portion diminishes speed but builds nuclear power dispersion. Likewise, the classification of mathematical qualities on divider heat move rate and skin contact is introduced. Both Reynolds and Brinkman numbers improve the entropy rate of the thermal system resulting in the growth effects of inertial forces and the surface heat dissipation, respectively.

Abstract
Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants which are usually utilized to produce perfumes, soaps, lotions, and flavorings as well as other well-being or aromatherapy products with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Membrane technology has been proposed as a method for purification of essential oils extract from waxes fats, lipids, or chlorophyll to avoid the formation of precipitate in finished essential oil-based products. Furthermore, nanofiltration processes have been recommended for fractionation and concentration of essential oils raw materials to enhance their valuable properties.
