Microplate Analysis of 31 carbon sources for people effected/uneffected by migraines.
Authors: Greeley Bruce Vince , Yeager Phillip 
Published: May 2022

The objective of the study was to observe any micro bacterial differences in the mouth between people who were chronic sufferers of migraines and people who said they did not suffer from migraines. Differences were observed with an Ecolog plate that contained 3 replicates of 31 carbon sources that the bacteria could use to grow. The participants of the study started by filling out a short questionnaire for basic quantitative data. Mouth swabs were then taken of volunteering participants and placed into centrifuge tubes filled with 8 mL of 1% PBS buffer and then vortexed. The sample was emptied into a pipette tray and had 50 microliters pipetted into each of the 96 wells of the Ecolog Plate. The plates were incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 3 days, and were read at 590 nanometers using a Biotek Microplate Reader. The analyzed data of the microplates showed that migraine sufferers had higher absorbance values of γ-Hydroxybutyric Acid growing bacteria at 0.189667 ± 0.173711. Compared to people unaffected by migraines the values were 0.059863 ± 0.07651. It was also observed that people who suffer from migraines had low absorbance values of D-Galacturonic Acid growing bacteria at 0.003933 ± 0.006643. This was considered low when compared to the values of 0.056392 ± 0.180113 for the people unaffected by migraines. It was concluded that migraine sufferers have a different mouth micro bacteria make up that makes them more susceptible to migraine headaches.

Published: May 2022

Changes in blood pressure/pulse reflect the body ability to adapt to changes in the environment. The aim of the project is to evaluate the changes in the blood pressure/pulse during the day and compare magnitude of changes in blood pressure across different individuals. Male and female volunteers (19-23 years old) who have not been diagnosed/experienced health conditions that modify blood pressure (including no Rx or OTC medications), were provided with a personal digital blood pressure monitor. For the next 3-4 days, they measured their own blood pressure about every 2-3 hours (night time excluding). The subjects also recorded some basic information about the daily routine (meals (time, description), exercise activities (time, intensity), class/exam schedules (time, stress levels related to quizzes/exams)), and the measures completed within 30 min of an event that may increase blood pressure were excluded from analysis. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) was calculated for each individual for different time points of the day. A mathematical model was used to determine the daily high point of the blood pressure. After that, the data was compared across all days and all individuals. We believe that our analysis of daily changes in blood pressure may provide us with important insight regarding human evolution. Indeed, a daily peak of blood pressure is likely to coincide with preferential time for hunts for hominids. The data can also have important biomedical significance as they determine time of the day when individuals have the highest blood pressure measures.
Effects of Roundup and its constituents on the Aromatase protein in the steroidogenic pathway of L. palustris
Authors: Sreekumar Shruthi , Nolan Colleen J , Plautz Carol Zygar 
Published: May 2022

Roundup is an agricultural herbicide that is composed of chemicals that have been linked to alterations in steroidogenesis and reproduction. We have observed altered reproductive activity in the hermaphroditic pond snail Lymnaea palustris following exposure to Roundup and its constituents, glyphosate and diquat dibromide (DD; Arumuganathan et al. 2016). Since steroid hormones are key players in reproduction, we also investigated alterations in sex hormone abundance. A second study found testosterone was decreased following exposure to Roundup, while concentrations of estradiol varied after chronic exposure to glyphosate and DD (Phillips et al. 2016). The steroidogenic enzyme Aromatase (P450AROM) converts testosterone into estradiol. We hypothesize that Roundup or its constituents may be altering the activity or abundance of Aromatase which in turn affects the amounts of testosterone and estradiol present in L. palustris; these altered levels of reproductive hormones may contribute to the alterations in fecundity. To observe if Aromatase is targeted by Roundup constituents in the steroidogenic pathway of L. palustris, we exposed snails to glyphosate (3.5 mg/L) or DD (0.14 mg/L) for one to three weeks. Following treatments, the ovotestis, brain, and kidneys were harvested and prepared for protein analysis, and analyzed for aromatase abundance by Western Blotting. This work was funded in part by the Research Challenge Fund through a Summer Undergraduate Research Experience Grant from the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission Division of Science and Research.

Doa Puasa Dan Manfaatnya Terhadap Kehidupan Orang Percaya
Authors: Nahaklay Demianus 
Published: May 2022

Doa puasa adalah merupakan sarana penting dalam meningkatkan iman serta mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan sebagai pencipta. Kesulitan serta tantangan dari waktu ke waktu turut mendorong manusia untuk mencari bagaimana terciptanya suatu hidup yang bahagia serta terlepas dari tekanan dan penderitaan. Banyak orang percaya yang masih dangkal pemahamannya terhadap manfaat doa puasa, sehingga sangat sedikit yang berminat menjalankannya. Secara faktual Alkitab memberikan referensi keteladanan para tokoh Alkitab yang mencapai hidup yang berkemenangan karena menjadikan doa puasa sebagai gaya hidup. Doa puasa yang dijalankan bukan hanya meningkatkan keintiman dengan Tuhan semata, melainkan sangat manfaat untuk kesehatan fisik, kesehatan psikis, dan juga dapat memupuk solidaritas sosial, serta dapat meningkatkan spiritualitas manusia.
Kebenaran Menang Atas Kejahatan: Tinjauan Reflektif Terhadap 1 Samuel 17
Authors: Nggebu Sostenis 
Published: May 2022

This article explains that truth always reigns over evil. In the text of 1 Samuel 17 tells about Yahweh's war against evil people symbolized by the Philistines and Goliaths. The author uses the literature study method to compile this paper. In his discussion it is clear that God has acted through David to achieve this victory. The Philistines who opposed God, ridiculed and despised the Israelites as a form of resistance from the power of evil had been conquered by David as a symbol of Christ disarming the power of evil. Thus evil should have no place in the life of the believer. For God has given believers spiritual armor to resist the attacks and deceptions of the Evil One. Evil has been defeated by Christ, so those who believe in Him are called to be pioneers of righteousness on earth. Believers' lives should reflect the love of Christ who has reconciled themselves to God. AbstrakArtikel ini menjelaskan tentang kebenaran senantiasa berkuasa atas kejahatan. Dalam teks 1 Samuel 17 mengetengahkan tentang peperangan Yahweh terhadap orang-orang yang jahat yang dilambangkan oleh bangsa Filistin dan Goliat. Penulis menggunakan metode studi literatur untuk menyusun karya tulis ini. Dalam pembahasannya tampak jelas bahwa Tuhan telah bertindak melalui Daud untuk meraih kemenangan tersebut. Orang Filistin yang menentang Allah, mencemooh dan merendahkan orang orang Israel sebagai bentuk perlawanan dari kuasa kejahatan telah ditaklukan Daud sebagai lambang dari Kristus yang melucuti kekuasaan kejahatan. Dengan demikian kejahatan semestinya tidak memiliki tempat dalam hidup orang percaya. Sebab Tuhan telah memberikan perlengkapan senjata rohani bagi orang percaya untuk melawan serangan dan tipuan dari Si Jahat. Kejahatan telah dikalahkan Kristus maka orang yang percaya kepada-Nya dipanggil untuk menjadi pelopor kebenaran di muka bumi. Hidup orang percaya seyogianya mencerminkan kasih Kristus yang telah mendamaikan diri mereka dengan Allah.

“The Sound of Freedom”
Authors: Pedelty Mark 
Published: May 2022

Mark Pedelty introduces activist projects designed to raise awareness about the harmful impacts of noise pollution on the local ecosystem in the Salish Sea region of Western Washington State and British Columbia. The projects emerged out of a human conflict over the meanings of the sounds created by the increasing number of jet exercises at the Whitby Island naval training grounds. Pedelty’s analysis of changes to the soundscape and peoples’ responses to them draws upon concepts in semiotic ecology, including the idea of sound waves as signifiers. Based on the ideas that hearing is a function of ideology and that sounds articulate values to listeners, Pedelty illustrates the ways music and expressive cultures can be deployed to intervene and to adjudicate such conflicts.
Afterword
Authors: Brondizio Eduardo S. 
Published: May 2022

Eduardo Brondizio draws on his experience with international efforts to address climate change in locating Performing Environmentalisms as a timely contribution to a holistic approach to environmental issues. Brondizio discovers in the essays in this book ample promise for a more inclusive, and effective, approach to this defining moment in the Anthropocene. Taking note of the ways human beings have impacted the planet, Brondizio credits Performing Environmentalisms with drawing attention to cultural, philosophical, artistic, and spiritual dimensions in our relationship to nature. He argues that Performing Environmentalisms makes a strong case for recognizing the role of performance and expressive culture in “mobilizing and motivating change,” and indeed, in offering hope to people and communities in the grip of environmental trauma.
Introduction
Authors: Golden Rachel May , Kong Katherine 
Published: May 2022

The introduction posits voice as a multivalent, multimedia phenomenon in medieval France and Occitania that enacts aspects of social communication, articulates individual and communal emotions and beliefs, and negotiates power, gender, and class relationships. Tracing ways in which medieval writers drew on classical antecedents, with particular attention to Aristotle, the introduction explains the importance of France for examining medieval interpretations of the concept of voice, including as an essentially human attribute. It engages multidisciplinary contemporary scholarship to consider voice from the perspectives of subjectivity, power, language, polyphony, quotation, and reinterpretation. Further, it argues that France proves a key site for the proliferation of texts—especially as performed, read, and sung—that variously interrogate and enact the functions of voice in medieval culture. Finally, the discussion recognizes and advances ongoing scholarly efforts to understand gendered identities—along with the social norms and modes of communication that constituted them—in medieval Europe.
Silence and Speech
Authors: Kong Katherine 
Published: May 2022

This chapter considers the exercise of voice as constitutive of masculine privilege in Chrétien de Troyes’s Le Chevalier de la charrette. Through an examination of Lancelot’s varied speech acts—including extravagant promises and anguished silences—it examines how the exercise and withholding of voice reveal the limits of submission to authority, illustrating the productive nature of constraint. Reading across the romances of Chrétien de Troyes, this chapter also interrogates the gendered nature of silence and speech. While silence might be coded as feminine and submissive, as in Erec et Enide, Lancelot’s silences emphasize the elective, and therefore privileged, nature of his submission. His strategic performances of speech and silence operate under the illusion of a gendered powerlessness—exemplified by his submission to the queen—, exploring what it means to be a male subject both subjected to and seemingly abjected by the caprices of his lordly lady.

Published: May 2022

Lettuce is one of the major leafy vegetables used in salads, soups and occasionally lightly cooked. Leaf lettuce has garnered a central role in human nutrition, as it combines pleasing organoleptic properties with a rich content of nutraceutical compounds. Leaf lettuce can bring about a diversification in the tomato/bell pepper production system in the summer season. The cultivation of lettuce has already started picking up in Himachal Pradesh in summers. The produce from hilly areas are available at time when these cannot be grown in the plains due to high temperature, thus bringing lucrative returns to the growers. Twenty two diverse genotypes of lettuce were evaluated in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications at KVK, Kandaghat, including standard check cultivar, Solan Kriti, to ascertain the extent of variability. The observations were recorded on various morphological and horticultural traits in leaf lettuce. On the basis of studies, it was concluded that genotypes viz., KGT-1, Lettuce C1, KGT-5 and LS-2 Selection-3, performed better in terms of yield and other horticultural traits over the standard check, Solan Kriti. So, these genotypes offer an ample scope for their release in the mid hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh after multilocational testing.
Heat‐Triggered Ferri‐to‐Paramagnetic Transition Accelerates Redox Couple‐Mediated Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation

Published: May 2022

AbstractRedox couple oxidation as an initial step of water oxidation may be key for high electricity consumption in the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, a heat‐induced magnetic transition strategy is reported to speed up the oxidation kinetics of redox couples. The activation energy of Ni2+/Ni3+ redox couple oxidation is sharply decreased by heating the Ni0.67Fe0.33OxHy catalyst above a Curie temperature (Tc) of 70 °C. In such a strategy, heat instead of electricity drives the spin flipping of Ni2+/Ni3+ oxidation through heat‐sensitive ferri‐to‐paramagnetic spin state changes. As a result of magnetic transition‐assisted efficient heat‐electricity coupling, Ni0.67Fe0.33OxHy exhibits the lowest OER overpotential of 221 mV at 100 mA cm−2 at 90 °C in alkaline electrolytes, outperforming the benchmark IrO2 catalyst. The findings provide new insights into the design of efficient heat–electricity complementary OER devices.
A Print‐and‐Fuse Strategy for Sacrificial Filaments Enables Biomimetically Structured Perfusable Microvascular Networks with Functional Endothelium Inside 3D Hydrogels

AbstractA facile and flexible approach for the integration of biomimetically branched microvasculature within bulk hydrogels is presented. For this, sacrificial scaffolds of thermoresponsive poly(2‐cyclopropyl‐2‐oxazoline) (PcycloPrOx) are created using melt electrowriting (MEW) in an optimized and predictable way and subsequently placed into a customized bioreactor system, which is then filled with a hydrogel precursor solution. The aqueous environment above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of PcycloPrOx at 25 °C swells the polymer without dissolving it, resulting in fusion of filaments that are deposited onto each other (print‐and‐fuse approach). Accordingly, an adequate printing pathway design results in generating physiological‐like branchings and channel volumes that approximate Murray's law in the geometrical ratio between parent and daughter vessels. After gel formation, a temperature decrease below the LCST produces interconnected microchannels with distinct inlet and outlet regions. Initial placement of the sacrificial scaffolds in the bioreactors in a pre‐defined manner directly yields perfusable structures via leakage‐free fluid connections in a reproducible one‐step procedure. Using this approach, rapid formation of a tight and biologically functional endothelial layer, as assessed not only through fluorescent dye diffusion, but also by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α) stimulation, is obtained within three days.
