Prior parental experience attenuates hormonal stress responses and alters hippocampal glucocorticoid receptors in biparental rock doves
Authors: Farrar Victoria S. , Morales Gallardo Jaime , Calisi Rebecca M. 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT
In the face of challenges, animals must balance investments in reproductive effort versus their own survival. Physiologically, this trade-off may be mediated by glucocorticoid release by the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and prolactin release from the pituitary to maintain parental care. The degree to which animals react to and recover from stressors likely affects maintenance of parental behavior and, ultimately, fitness. However, less is known about how gaining parental experience may alter hormonal stress responses and their underlying neuroendocrine mechanisms. To address this gap, we measured the corticosterone (CORT) and prolactin (PRL) stress response in individuals of both sexes of the biparental rock dove (Columba livia) that had never raised chicks versus birds that had fledged at least one chick. We measured both CORT and PRL at baseline and after an acute stressor (30 min restraint). We also measured negative feedback ability by administering dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid that suppresses CORT release, and measured CORT and PRL after 60 min. All hormones were measured when birds were not actively nesting to assess whether effects of parental experience extend beyond the breeding bout. Experienced birds had lower stress-induced and negative-feedback CORT, and higher stress-induced PRL than inexperienced birds. In a separate experiment, we measured glucocorticoid receptor subtype expression in the hippocampus, a key site of negative feedback regulation. Experienced birds showed higher glucocorticoid receptor expression than inexperienced controls, which may mediate their ability to attenuate CORT release. Together, these results shed light on potential mechanisms by which gaining experience may improve parental performance and fitness.

Background: Mental foramen (MF) and its accessories are the important anatomical considerations while placing implants or doing surgical procedures in and around the mandibular premolar region. This study aimed to evaluate the shape, size, and location of mental foramen in dentulous and edentulous patients among the Saudi population using 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).Methods: In this retrospective study, CBCT scans that were taken between 2015 and 2020 from Riyadh Elm University were retrieved. A total of 180 samples of CBCT (90 dentate and 90 edentulous) were analyzed. Prevalence of different horizontal positions of the mental foramen (P1 to P6) and other additive parameters like the distance from mental foramen to alveolar crest and inferior border of the mandible, along with the mental foramen angle was assessed. The difference in the mental foramen location among dentate and edentulous subjects was assessed. Gender and age variation also was assessed. All the data were statistically analyzed using SPSS.Results:The predominant horizontal position is P4 followed by P3 (59% in males and 63 % in females at P4, and 15 % each in males and females at P3, respectively). The horizontal position of the mental foramen and gender showed a statistical significance difference, especially at the P3B, P5, and P4 positions. Moreover, a statistically significant difference was seen in the mental foramen to the mandibular inferior border of the mandible (MF_MSB) and the width of mental foramen in the transverse section (MFW). Comparison of the mental foramen among dentate and edentulous subjects showed a statistically significant difference. There was a change in the mental foramen with age.Conclusions:Based on the methodology and sample of this study, it can be concluded that the edentulism only reduced the dimension of the mental foramen opening.

PurposeEvidence has shown that the Five precepts significantly affect the relationship between attachment and resilience; however, little is known whether observing the Five Precepts would help reduce depressive symptoms among those who experience risks. The aim of this study was to examine the moderating role of the Five Precepts in the mediation model relationship among neuroticism, perceived stress, and depression.Patients and methodsThe study employed a cross-sectional survey design and data were collected from the end of 2019 to September 2022 in Thailand. In all, 644 general participants completed questionnaires on the Neuroticism Inventory (NI), the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Depression Subscale, and the Five-Precept Subscale of the Inner Strength-based Inventory (SBI-PP). Mediation and moderation analyses with 5000 bootstrapping methods were used.ResultsAmong all, 74.2% were female, and the mean age totalled 28.28 years (SD = 10.6). SBI-PP was shown to have a moderation effect on the relationship between NI, PSS and depressive symptoms. The moderating effect between SBI-PP and PSS was significant, whereas SBI-PP and NI was not. The index of moderated mediation from the Five Precepts was significant (b = -0.019 (95%CI -0.029, -0.009)). The moderated mediation model increased the percent variance explaining depressive symptoms to 47.6%, compared with 32.6% from the mediation model alone.ConclusionObserving the Five Precepts offers evidence that it buffers the effect of perceived stress on depression. People with high levels of observing the Five Precepts are less likely to develop depressive symptoms. Implications as well as possible future research are discussed.

Published: November 2022

Introduction
The aim of organized breast cancer screening is early detection and reduction in mortality. Organized screening should promote equal access and reduce socio-economic inequalities. In Slovenia, organized breast cancer screening achieved complete coverage in 11-years’ time. We explored whether step-wise implementation reflects in prognostic factors (earlier diagnosis and treatment) and survival of breast cancer patients in our population.

Methods
Using population-based cancer registry and screening registry data on breast cancer cases from 2008–2018, we compared stage distribution and mean time to surgical treatment in (A) women who underwent at least one mammography in the organized screening programme, women who received at least one invitation but did not undergo mammography and women who did not receive any screening invitation, and in (B) women who were invited to organized screening and those who were not. We also compared net survival by stage in different groups of women according to their screening programme status.

Results
Women who underwent at least one mammography in organized screening had lower disease stage at diagnosis. Time-to-treatment analysis showed mean time to surgery was shortest in women not included in organized screening (all stages = 36.0 days vs. 40.3 days in women included in organized screening). This could be due to quality assurance protocols with an obligatory multidisciplinary approach within the organized screening vs. standard treatment pathways which can vary in different (smaller) hospitals. Higher standard of care in screening is reflected in better survival in women included in organized screening (5-years net survival for regional stage: at least one mammography in the screening programme– 96%; invitation, but no mammography– 87.4%; no invitation or mammography in the screening programme– 82.6%).

Conclusion
Our study, which is one of the first in central European countries, shows that introduction of organized screening has temporary effects on population cancer burden indicators already during roll-out period, which should therefore be as short as possible.

BACKGROUND
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first detected in Wuhan, China in 2019 and since then has engulfed the entire globe at an unprecedented pace. The virus has infected all age groups, both males and females with or without symptoms and with significant variations. In this study, we wanted to analyse the data related to demographic features of COVID-19-infected patients mainly focusing on their age, gender and symptoms.
METHODS
This was a hospital-based retrospective study that included all laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases which were declared SARS-COV-2 real-time RT-PCR positive by VRDL, SMCH, Silchar from March 2020 to August 2021. Data related to the demographic characteristics of patients with COVID-19 infection was retrieved from the ICMR-COVID-19 portal of the laboratory and analysed.
RESULTS
The study included 8065 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases which involved 5605 cases during the first wave and 2460 cases during the second wave of COVID-19, diagnosed from different districts of South Assam. The majority of infected patients were of the younger age group of 20-30 years. The mean age of the patients was almost similar in both waves i.e. 35.9 and 38.4 years. Of the total enrolled patients, 91.7% were reported asymptomatic while 8.3 % were symptomatic with fever and cough being the commonest ones.
CONCLUSIONS
The COVID-19 pandemic is a huge burden on healthcare facilities. The majority of the infected patients presenting to our hospital were young and asymptomatic, thus posing risk to the community. Hence, it is crucial to practice proper hygiene, wearing of masks and complete the vaccination schedule to achieve better vigilance to combat the COVID-19 pandemic more efficiently and effectively.

Abstract
The Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative aims to generate data and information to support environmental management in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America. On a rotating basis, efforts are focused on each lake every five years. In this study, we developed a state-of-the-art hydrodynamic and ecological modeling framework to aggregate data collected during these initiative years and from other sources, and to simulate lake eutrophication processes in Lake Ontario, with an emphasis on nearshore conditions. Model calibration and validation were based primarily on data from three initiative years (2008, 2013, and 2018). This integrated model provides a framework for data organization, understanding complex lake process interactions, and guiding future data collection. It is designed as a management support tool that can simulate lake responses to changes in loading conditions, such as sensitivity of nearshore water quality to Niagara River phosphorus loads. Its designated aim is to support evaluation of management questions in Lake Ontario by providing quantitative evaluation of the relative benefits of potential nutrient loading abatement strategies to mitigate eutrophication in the nearshore. This framework is also well suited for possible future expansion to address management issues on a whole-lake basis.
GEOID-QUASIGEOID CORRECTION IN FORMULATION OF THE FUNDAMENTAL FORMULA OF PHYSICAL GEODESY
Authors: Tenzer Robert , Vaníček Petr 
Published: November 2022

To formulate the fundamental formula of physical geodesy at the physical surface of the Earth, the gravity anomalies are used instead of the gravity disturbances, because the geodetic heights above the geocentric reference ellipsoid are not usually available. The relation between the gravity anomaly and the gravity disturbance is defined as a product of the normal gravity gradient referred to the telluroid and the height anomaly according to Molodensky's theory of the normal heights (Molodensky, 1945; Molodensky et al., 1960). Considering the normal gravity gradient referred to the surface of the geocentric reference ellipsoid, this relation is redefined as a function of the normal height (VaníÄek et al., 1999). When the orthometric heights are practically used for the realization of the vertical datum, the geoid-quasigeoid correction is applied to the fundamental formula of physical geodesy to determine the precise geoid.
Theoretical formulation of the geoid-quasigeoid correction to the fundamental formula of physical geodesy can be found in Martinec (1993) and VaníÄek et al. (1999). In this paper, the numerical investigation of this correction at the territory of Canada is shown and the error analysis is introduced.

Published: November 2022

Fatores como o crescimento populacional, o processo intensivo de urbanização, a expansão da fronteira agrícola e a implantação de indústrias de grande porte, são apontadas como responsáveis pelo aumento na demanda de água. Muitas vezes para atender as demandas hídricas ao longo do tempo, garantindo fornecimento seguro e continuado, depara-se com a necessidade de retenção e armazenamento da água. Em geral, os reservatórios são formados por barragens implantadas nos cursos d'água. Suas características físicas, em especial a capacidade de armazenamento, dependem das características topográficas do vale no qual está inserido. Tal fato aumenta a complexidade da definição dos parâmetros de alagamento (área e volume), importantes variáveis no gerenciamento global dos reservatórios. Este artigo tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um módulo para determinação automática da capacidade de armazenamento de um reservatório com uso de Sistema de Informação Geográfica. Realizou-se simulação de uma barragem na sub-bacia do ribeirão São Bartolomeu e determinou-se a capacidade de armazenamento do reservatório. O resultado da simulação apresentou um volume de 165.814.688 m3 e área de 7.306.352 mÂ². Este módulo constitui-se em importante ferramenta para dar suporte às análises e aquisição de parâmetros, bem como Ã gestão e tomadas de decisão em recursos hídricos.

A grande maioria dos municípios brasileiros possui cadastro técnico sobre os imóveis urbanos para fins tributários e, muitas vezes, este cadastro encontra-se desatualizado e não integrado a uma base cartográfica adequada. O presente trabalho teve como escopo observar a perda de tributos (IPTU) oriunda do uso de um cadastro imobiliário deficitário. A área de Estudo é o Município de Goiana, em Pernambuco. O procedimento metodológico é baseado em levantamentos de campo e utilização de ferramentas de geoprocessamento a fim de avaliar o grau de desatualização e consequente prejuízo financeiro ao município. Graças ao banco de dados criado a partir do Boletim de Informação Cadastral proposto, pode-se observar que os valores atualmente aplicados ao IPTU para os lotes localizados na sede do referido município demonstram estar defasados em relação Ã realidade. O estudo permitiu estimar o prejuízo financeiro na arrecadação em função da desatualização cadastral, que mostrou ser bastante significativa (18,5%). Estes resultados confirmam que o investimento em cartografia, aliado a um sistema digital de informações, são fundamentais para uma tributação imobiliária mais justa.

Anualmente as queimadas devastam grandes porções territoriais de florestas, campos e regiões agrícolas, consumindo uma grande quantidade de biomassa. No Brasil, as variações espaço-temporais no manejo do uso e cobertura da terra ocorrem, principalmente, devido Ã renovação de áreas agrícolas e de pastagem e o desmatamento de áreas na Floresta Amazônica provocam alterações nos ciclos das queimadas antropogênicas. Estes fatores influenciam diretamente na modificação do clima e do meio ambiente, onde os principais fatores modificadores incluem os impactos da energia liberada pelo fogo, os gases traços emitidos para a atmosfera, alteração do albedo, assim como modificações no balanço radiativo da atmosfera e nos ciclos biogeoquímicos. Desta forma, o principal objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os valores médios da área de fogo ativo para a América do Sul para diferentes fisionomias vegetais a partir da potência radiativa do fogo (FRP) calculada por satélites de média/baixa resolução. Para isto, utilizaram-se os sensores orbitais Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) abordo da plataforma Terra, Thematic Mapper (TM) e Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) a bordo dos satélites Landsat 5 e Landsat 7, respectivamente, e GOES Imager a bordo da constelação de satélites Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES). Para determinar os valores médios da área de fogo ativo amostraram-se aleatoriamente 79 órbitas/pontos do Landsat estratificadas pela área dos ecossistemas brasileiros (Amazônia, Cerrado, Caatinga, Pantanal, Pampa e Mata Atlântica) e pela distribuição dos valores médios de energia radiativa do fogo. Os resultados da análise climatológica indicaram que os tamanhos médios das áreas de fogo ativo para regiões de Florestas, agricultura, pastagem e vegetação herbáceo-arbustiva foram estimados em 4500 m2, 13.000 m2, 14.000 m2 e 9600 m2, respectivamente. Ainda, o coeficiente encontrado para estimar o tamanho de fogo ativo para as áreas de pastagem/gramíneas (0,00029 km².MW-1) foi aproximadamente 38% maior que o encontrado para as áreas de Floresta (0,00021 km².MW-1) e 31% maior que o mesmo coeficiente utilizado para estimar o tamanho do fogo em áreas de vegetação herbáceo-arbustiva (0,00022 km².MW-1) e 11% maior que o coeficiente empregado em áreas agrícolas (0,00026 km².MW-1).

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as alterações do escoamento superficial na bacia hidrográfica do Vacacaí-Vacacaí Mirim, considerando as mudanças de uso e cobertura da terra para os anos de 1990 e 2009. Esta bacia está localizada no Centro Ocidente do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, tem uma área de 11.195 km² e os municípios que a compõem têm sua renda provinda principalmente da atividade agropecuária. Utilizando técnicas de geoprocessamento, se aplicou o modelo Curve Number (CN) desenvolvido pelo Soil Conservation Service (SCS), com o intuito de analisar as alterações do escoamento superficial na bacia hidrográfica, em função das mudanças de uso e cobertura da terra para os anos de 1990 e 2009. O trabalho busca uma modelagem do escoamento superficial em uma bacia predominantemente rural e carente de dados hidrológicos, contribuindo assim para o auxílio ao planejamento e gerenciamento desta. Inicialmente, se realizou a caracterização física da bacia, buscando identificar e estudar as peculiaridades referentes à litologia e uso e cobertura, que serviram de subsídio para a elaboração dos mapas de uso e cobertura da terra e do potencial de escoamento superficial. Para a obtenção do mapa de grupos hidrológicos de solos se utilizou um mapa de tipos de solos já existente, e posteriormente cada tipo de solo foi reclassificado de acordo com suas características hidrológicas. Os mapas de uso e cobertura resultaram da segmentação, utilizando um algoritmo de crescimento de regiões, e posterior classificação por regiões baseada na distância de Bhattacharya, das imagens TM/Landsat 5 correspondentes Ã área em estudo para cada ano analisado. A partir da integração dos mapas de uso e cobertura do solo para os anos de 1990 e 2009 e do mapa de grupos hidrológicos se obteve o mapa de potencial de escoamento superficial ou Curve Number para cada ano considerado. O processamento das imagens e a integração das informações se realizaram utilizando o software SPRING. A metodologia proposta mostrou-se eficiente possibilitando a análise do escoamento superficial da bacia para cada ano analisado.
