description: SUMMARY Geodesists are working in Industry 4.0 and Spatial Information Management by using cross linked machines, people and data. Moreover, open source software, open geodata and open access are becoming increasingly important. As part of the Semantic Web, Linked Open Data (LOD) must be created and published in order to provide free open geodata in interoperable formats. With this semantically structured and standardised data it is easy to implement tools for GIS applications e.g. QGIS. In these days, the world’s Cultural Heritage (CH) is being destroyed as a result of wars, sea-level rise, floods and other natural disasters by climate change. Several transnational initiatives try to preserve our CH via digitisation initiatives. As best practice for preserving CH data serves the Ogi Ogam Project with the aim to show an easy volunteered approach to modelling Irish `Ogam Stones` containing Ogham inscriptions in Wikidata and interlinking them with spatial information in OpenStreetMap and (geo)resources on the web. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Geodäten arbeiten in der Industrie 4.0 mit vernetzten Maschinen, Menschen und Daten. Zudem werden die Themen Open Source Software, offene Geodaten und Open Access immer wichtiger. Linked Open Data (LOD) müssen erstellt und veröffentlicht werden, um so freie und offene Geodaten in interoperablen Formaten als Teil des Semantic Web zur Verfügung zu stellen. Mit diesen semantisch strukturierten und standardisierten Daten ist es einfach Tools für GIS Applikationen, z.B. QGIS, zu erstellen. Zurzeit werden Kulturgüter (CH) der Welt durch Kriege, Meeresspiegelanstieg, Überflutungen und andere Naturkatastrophen, die durch den Klimawandel verursacht wurden, zerstört. Einige transnationale Initiativen versuchen daher die Kulturgüter durch Digitalisierungs-Initiativen zu erhalten. Als Beispiel dient hier die Digitalisierung im Ogi Ogham Projekt, das zum Ziel hat, einen einfachen auf Freiwilligenbasis fußenden Ansatz zu verfolgen, der irische `Ogham Steine` und deren Ogham Inschriften in Wikidata modelliert und diese mit Geodaten aus OpenStreetMap und deren Geodaten im Web referenziert.

description: Phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of three wild populations of endemic Illyric-Balcanic species Micromeria croatica (Pers.) Schott have been evaluated with respect to plant organ and growing location. Multivariate analysis (principal component analysis) was performed to visualise (dis-)similarity among samples and identify the correlations between phytochemical variables that explain the most variability. The tested leaf extract from BaČić kuk locality exhibited protective effects against reactive oxygen species-induced damage of DNA and inhibition of lipid peroxidation, while it caused oxidative degradation of protein in the bovine serum albumin assay at higher concentrations. This extract also exhibited cytotoxic activity and facilitated the formation of reactive oxygen species in the HEp2 cell line, in a dose-dependent manner.
The Impact of School Shootings and Violent Crimes on Campus on Undergraduate Students

Publisher: name: Midwestern University

Subjects: Clinical Psychology

description:      School shootings attract a great deal of media attention, despite being statistically rare occurrences (Paradice, 2017). Due to the amount of media attention garnered, much of the information pertaining to school shootings and violent crimes on campuses delivered to the public is derived from the media. Research has shown how viewing media about traumatizing events may promote fear within the public (Fallahi et al., 2009). Further, misrepresentation of risk of these events has aided in fostering a moral panic (Muschert & Ragnedda, 2010). Additionally, this fear can be felt with students as an increase in fear and avoidance behaviors has been shown after a school shooting event (Kaminski, et al., 2010; Addington, 2003). The purpose of this dissertation is to examine undergraduate students’ perceptions of violent crime and school shootings with regard to fear of crime, and avoidance behaviors in a hypothetical situation, using knowledge of school shootings as a moderator of these relationships. Results showed a non-statically significant relationship between participant’s hypothetical avoidance behaviors and fear of crime, and level of knowledge. Results also found no relationship between hypothetical fear of crime and avoidance behaviors, and group condition. Regarding the second hypothesis, the current study found a non-statistically significant relationship between group, knowledge level and hypothetical fear of crime and avoidance behaviors. This research further demonstrates the need for future research on the impact of school shootings and violent crime on undergraduate students.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Effective English communication skills are imperative for academic and professional achievement on a global scale. A pivotal element influencing proficiency in the English language is self-assurance. This comprehensive literature review synthesizes research pertaining to the correlation between self-confidence and English language proficiency, elucidating efficacious approaches to enhance the self-confidence of language learners. The analysis underscores that individuals possessing high self-confidence in their English language abilities exhibit a greater propensity to acquire and proficiently use a second language. Self-confidence contributes to heightened motivation, perseverance, and the willingness to tackle language acquisition challenges. The research indicates that self-assured individuals demonstrate superior pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, all of which are fundamental for effective English communication. The intricate relationship between self-confidence and English language proficiency is influenced by individual characteristics, cultural background, and language acquisition experiences. Consequently, the development of targeted interventions to bolster confidence in language learning is imperative for optimal outcomes. Language educators and teachers can employ strategies such as goal-setting, encouragement, and reflective practices to enhance students' self-confidence and English language proficiency in academic and professional contexts

description: Cynomorium coccineum L. is a non-photosynthetic plant, spread over Mediterranean countries, amply used in traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to evaluate for the first time the antifungal activity of its extracts. The antifungal activity was evaluated using the macrodilution method against Candida spp., Cryptococcus neoformans and dermatophyte strains. The methanolic extract was very active against C. neoformans, Candida guilliermondii and Candida krusei, with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values of 0.025 mg/mL. This extract is more active than fluconazole against C. krusei H9. The influence of methanolic extract on the dimorphic transition in Candida albicans was also studied through the germ tube inhibition assay. More than 60% of filamentation was inhibited at a concentration of 1/4 MIC. These results are preliminary and further studies are needed to an eventual use of C. coccineum methanolic extract in the treatments of candidiasis and cryptococcosis.

description: We present the results of a detailed bathymetric survey of Pozzuoli Bay (Gulf of Naples, Italy). This shallow marine area, along with the Campi Flegrei inland, is a highly active volcanic district in the coastal zone of SW Italy. The area has been active since at least 78 ka B.P., and is structurally dominated by a caldera collapse (∼8 km in diameter) associated with the eruption of the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (NYT), a 30–50 km3 dense rock equivalent (DRE) ignimbrite dated ∼15 ka B.P. The main cartographic product consists of a 1:10,000 scale morpho-bathymetric map of Pozzuoli Bay, derived from 1 m cell-size, colour hill-shaded, digital terrain model of the seafloor. Multibeam bathymetry data reveal the precise extent of Roman underwater archaeological remains located in the N–NW infralittoral zone of the Bay. Morphometric analysis allowed for the development of thematic representations, including slope and aspect maps. A complete data set of active fluid vents seafloor locations were also recorded during the survey and reported in the final map. The multibeam bathymetric survey illustrated in this study provides an unprecedentedly detailed image of the seafloor morphology of Pozzuoli Bay and represents a contribution to the understanding of the dynamic evolution of the Campi Flegrei caldera, a high-risk volcanic area densely populated by almost one million people.

description: Amphiphilic polymers bearing hydrophobic alkyl groups are expected to be applicable for both ligand presentation on the cell surface and intercellular crosslinking. To explore the optimum design for each application, we synthesized eight different acyl-modified dextrans with varying molecular weight, alkyl length, and alkyl modification degree. We found that the behenate-modified polymers retained on the cell surface longer than the palmitate-modified ones. Since the polymers were also modified with biotin, streptavidin can be presented on the cell surface through biotin-streptavidin recognition. The duration of streptavidin on the cell surface is longer in the behenate-modified polymer than the palmitate-modified one. As for the intercellular crosslinking, the palmitate-modified polymers were more efficient than the behenate-modified polymers. The findings in this research will be helpful to design the acyl-modified polymers for the cell surface engineering.

description: Rationale Fluoxetine (FLX) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor approved for use in treating pediatric mood disorders, but the long-term effects of such treatments are unclear. Previous studies have described the effects of adolescent FLX exposure on standardized behavioral tests of anxiety and stress reactivity, but effects of such treatments on adult social behavior are unknown. Given the wide use of FLX and similar drugs, the long-term developmental consequences on social behavior of exposure to FLX during critical periods of development is of clinical importance. Materials and methods Male gerbils received twice daily i.p. injections of FLX (0-20 mg/kg) from ages PD30 – 50. At PD70-76, animals were tested in an elevated plus maze, and open field test with a novel object. Social interaction with a novel female and alloparental behavior with a novel pup were also evaluated. Hyptothalmic-pituitary-andrenal (HPA) axis function was assessed by measuring plasma corticosterone levels in non-stressed (baseline) and acutely stressed (restrained) animals. Results FLX dose-dependently inhibited weight gain during drug treatment, however no reliable patterns of drug effects on either behavior or HPA function were found. Conclusions Chronic exposure to FLX during adolescence does not appear to produce long-lasting changes in adult social behavior or in physiological stress response functioning in gerbils.

description: Introduction: The association of thyroid and parathyroid disease is common and may hinder the preoperative diagnosis, this is the reason why a functional and structural thyroid study should be made in hyperparathyroidism. Objective: To determine the incidence of surgical pathology associated thyroid and parathyroid. Material and method: Historical study of 105 cases and control in patients undergoing total or partial parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (83.81%) or secondary (16.19%) with or without thyroidectomy (60% and 40 % respectively) between January 2006 and December 2013. a control group of 126 thyroidectomies performed in the same period excluding medullary thyroid carcinoma were randomly selected. Results: The incidence of thyroidectomy associated with parathyroidectomy was 60% [ from 50.44 to 68.86 %] with no significant difference between primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism. The incidence of non-medullary thyroid carcinoma associated with parathyroidectomy was 7.62% [3.91 to 14.3%] , the incidental thyroid carcinoma was 6.67% [3.27 to 13.13%] with no difference both statistically significant compared to the control group (6.35 % [3.25 to 12.03%]). Discussion: The association of 99mTc -MIBI scintigraphy and ultrasound increases the accuracy of the preoperative diagnosis, rule out thyroid disease associated and is recommended as a routine study. The indication for thyroidectomy associated with parathyroidectomy should be taken preoperatively with the same methods as in general population and obtain informed consent from the patient. Conclusions: A high percentage of patients undergoing parathyroidectomy require thyroidectomy so it is necessary to establish preoperative thyroid study indicating thyroidectomy if necessary and obtain the patient’s consent to perform thyroidectomy in all cases.

description: Background: Thyroid surgery has been considered as a risk factor for the management of difficult airway. Method: We review the relevant literature related to the difficult airway and thyroid surgery. Comments: Endothoracic goiter, deformity of the airway, compression of the airway and thyroid cancer do not appear to have an influence on the difficulty for intubation. Classical parameters have a better predictive value: mouth opening less than 35 mm, Mallampati II-IV, short neck, neck movility less than 80 degrees, thyromental distance less than 60 mm, retrognathia, Cormack index III-IV, macroglossia, inability to protude the teeth and body mass index (BMI) greater than 35 Kg/m2. Conclusions: According to the literature, thyroid disease does not increase the risk for a difficult airway (ventilation / intubation). The risk of an unexpected difficult airway (false negative) cannot be eliminated. All patients must undergo an assessment of the airway

description: Introduction and Objectives: The identification of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during thyroid surgery is considered gold standard to prevent their injury. Electromyographic recordings of the thyroarytenoid muscle activity after electrical stimulation of the vagus or RLN nerves aid during identification of the RLN and reports of their functional status at the end of thyroidectomy. For the record electromyographic two are the most useful techniques: using surface electrodes on the endotracheal tube (ETT) and by needle electrodes inserted into the thyroarytenoid muscles across the cricothyroid membrane (transligamentary technique, TL). Objectives: To review the methods of identification of the RLN in thyroid surgery, the main techniques for neuromonitoring, their validity and summarize practical technical details. Conclusions: The neuromonitoring aid in the location, identification and dissection the RLN, aid in decision-making when there is loss of the electromyographic signal and provides information about the function of NLR at the end of surgery. The neuromonitoring has benefits in clinical practice, research, in teaching and in medical-legal.

description: Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei-1 was identified from traditional yogurts of Khulna region, Bangladesh and its enzyme and antibiotic resistance profiles were determined. A commercially available API Zym kit was employed to determine the activities of 19 different enzymes. We found that L. paracasei ssp. paracasei-1 showed strong activities for several enzymes, viz. leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, napthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, β-galactosidase, α Glucosidase, N-Acetyl- β- glucosaminidase while activities forother enzymes were absent. Antibiotic resistance profile was assessed by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test for 61 major antibiotics and 4 antifungal agents obtained from commercial sources in MRS Agar media. The strain generally showed resistance to gram negative spectrum antibiotic while it showed susceptibility towards β-lactam antibiotic to gram positive spectrum antibiotic. The findings provide the therapeutic basis of using L. paracasei ssp. paracasei-1 in finished food products.

Subjects: Medicine

description: Introduction and objective: The investigation of incidents that affect the safety of patients undergoing thyroidectomy is a priority. Objective: To review the methodology in order to investigate security incidents that affect the patient in thyroid surgery.
Material and methods: literature review about risk management and complications in thyroid surgery.
Results: Comments on methods of root cause analysis (RCA) and failure mode analysis and effects (FMEA). A risk matrix with security incidents and failure modes in thyroid surgery is designed.
Conclusions: Patient safety in thyroid surgery is related to structural and process elements. Some contributing factors of security incidents are related to the patient, thyroid pathology, surgical technique and technology employed. The most complete systems to investigate security incidents and assist in risk management are FMEA (HFMEA) and RCA. For each risk its criticality (severity and frequency) and its detectability must be assessed. The most effective measures to improve patient safety are organizational measures and processes automation and computerization.

description: Introduction and objectives: Neuromonitoring helps in identifying the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) in thyroid surgery, reports on its functioning at the end of surgery and supports decision making. Objective: To estimate the validity of neuromonitoring with regard to postoperative laryngeal motility verified with indirect laryngoscopy. Methods: A prospective study in 185 patients (342 RLN included) undergoing first intervention of partial or total thyroidectomy. We collected qualitative variables of neuromonitoring (presence or absence of final signal after stimulation of the vagus nerve) and postoperative indirect laryngoscopy (normal motility or paralysis) performed on the 1st to 3rd day (laryngoscopy 1) and from 3rd to 4th week (laryngoscopy 2).Results: The accuracy of the test was 99.7% in laryngoscopy 1 and 98.8% in laryngoscopy 2. The positive predictive value (100%) shows the high ability of neuromonitoring to predict paralysis in case of loss of signal and the negative predictive value (99.7% in laryngoscopy 1 and 98.12% in laryngoscopy 2) indicates its predictive capacity for normal motility when there is a normal signal. Conclusions: Neuromonitoring is useful for planning and deciding different strategies in case of signal loss or if there was prior laryngeal paralysis. It is also useful in management of the airway to assist the prevention of bilateral laryngeal paralysis.

description: Introduction and objective: Research on patient safety in thyroid and parathyroid surgery should be directed toward risk management. The risk management system should detect hazards and prevent the occurrence of failures, detect faults before they cause or minimize its effect through preventive or corrective actions. The aim of this paper is to propose a useful model for risk management in thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Method: Narrative review. Results: A risk management system is presented.
Conclusions: The security system for risk management in thyroid and parathyroid surgery is based on the identification of the process steps, in the multidisciplinary work of all agents involved, in the identification of potential failures and preventive measures, in the establishment of a system of reporting incidents, the analysis of incidents and the adoption of immediate corrective action.

description: The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation “ORCID Adoption and Integration Program" (henceforth the A&I program) was a high-profile and influential component of ORCID activities in 2013 and 2014. In supporting, guiding and serving the program’s evolution, in publicising its results and achievements, and in synthesizing and disseminating its lessons, the whole organisation has engaged with the program. The value for ORCID and the research community has been significant. This report sets out the ways that ORCID adoption has been accelerated as a result of the outputs of the program. It shows how the wider scholarly community has engaged with the program outcomes, how participating organizations see the value that their projects have brought to their respective communities, and how the successes and challenges of the A&I program have shaped our priorities and planning. This report extracts key lessons, features and achievements from program documentation. We have drawn on the use cases it has generated, as well as presentations and other communications materials to supplement the final, formal project summaries. By placing these documents in the wider context of ORCID’s growth and community engagement before, during, and after the program, we can clearly see the value and impact of the A&I program. The participating organisations all report real benefits from the integration of ORCID iDs in their information systems. For ORCID, setting out the benefits of the program is straightforward. It has helped to fuel our growth, to develop our longer-term sustainability, and to align our priorities to those of our community. What we add to this picture in this report is an indication of what that community has gained from this program, in reduced opportunity costs, improved information resources, and better, faster integrations and software development.

description: Introduction: The association of thyroid and parathyroid disease is common and may hinder the preoperative diagnosis, this is the reason why a functional and structural thyroid study should be made in hyperparathyroidism. Objective: To determine the incidence of surgical pathology associated thyroid and parathyroid. Material and method: Historical study of 105 cases and control in patients undergoing total or partial parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (83.81%) or secondary (16.19%) with or without thyroidectomy (60% and 40 % respectively) between January 2006 and December 2013. a control group of 126 thyroidectomies performed in the same period excluding medullary thyroid carcinoma were randomly selected. Results: The incidence of thyroidectomy associated with parathyroidectomy was 60% [ from 50.44 to 68.86 %] with no significant difference between primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism. The incidence of non-medullary thyroid carcinoma associated with parathyroidectomy was 7.62% [3.91 to 14.3%] , the incidental thyroid carcinoma was 6.67% [3.27 to 13.13%] with no difference both statistically significant compared to the control group (6.35 % [3.25 to 12.03%]). Discussion: The association of 99mTc -MIBI scintigraphy and ultrasound increases the accuracy of the preoperative diagnosis, rule out thyroid disease associated and is recommended as a routine study. The indication for thyroidectomy associated with parathyroidectomy should be taken preoperatively with the same methods as in general population and obtain informed consent from the patient. Conclusions: A high percentage of patients undergoing parathyroidectomy require thyroidectomy so it is necessary to establish preoperative thyroid study indicating thyroidectomy if necessary and obtain the patient’s consent to perform thyroidectomy in all cases.

description: Evidence for the association of bisphenol A (BPA) with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been inconsistent in human studies. In-vitro and animal studies indicate that chlorinated BPA derivatives aggravate BPA health effects via higher estrogenic activity and alteration of membrane-initiating signaling pathways. We evaluated the association between urinary monochlorinated BPA (mono-ClBPA) concentrations and the incidence of T2DM. In our cross-sectional study, we identified 20 adult participants (≥18 yr) who reported having T2DM (doctor-diagnosed) and 131 adults with normal health. First morning void urine samples were analyzed for total BPA and mono-ClBPA. Detection limits of the analytical method were 95 ng L−1 for BPA and 32 ng L−1 for mono-ClBPA. Multivariable logistic regression analyses and additive Bayesian network modeling were performed. After adjusting for age, gender, BMI, urinary total BPA and other confounders, the odds of having T2DM was 3.29 times higher (95% confidence interval, CI: 1.10, 11.4; P < 0.05) per unit increase in log-transformed and creatinine-adjusted urinary mono-ClBPA levels (n = 151); this relation did not hold for total BPA. The globally optimum Bayesian model corroborated the results of the logistic regression by expressing mono-ClBPA in the pathway of T2DM, and not for total BPA. An age-matched sensitivity analysis confirmed the increase in OR of T2DM by 3.04 times (95% CI: 1.10, 11.0; P < 0.05) per unit increase in log-transformed and creatinine-adjusted urinary mono-ClBPA concentration (n = 68). The urinary monochlorinated BPA derivative was significantly associated with T2DM, whereas the parent compound (total BPA) was not. Caution should be applied in interpreting these findings, as this is the first study to report this association and the sample size of participants with T2DM is small. Additional research with a larger sample size coupled with relevant toxicological studies is warranted.
