description: © The Author(s) 2020. Being comfortable in disclosing one’s sexual orientation to health and aged care providers is important for older lesbian and gay adults, given that nondisclosure is associated with poorer health and well-being outcomes. In a sample of 752 lesbian and gay adults aged 60 years and older living in Australia, we found only 51% of lesbian women and 64% of gay men felt fully comfortable to disclose their sexual orientation to health and aged care service providers. For both the women and the men, those who felt fully comfortable to disclose reported significantly less internalized homophobia; had fewer experiences of discrimination in the past year; and reported greater lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community connectedness. Feeling fully comfortable was also predicted by fewer experiences of lifetime discrimination among the men. These findings may help those seeking to assist older lesbian and gay people in feeling comfortable and being open with health and aged care service providers.

description: Whilst migraine treatment has advanced significantly over recent times, the mechanisms of attack genesis and heterogeneity in treatment response are two amidst several areas that remain poorly understood and require further development. Experimental migraine provocation is an area that holds promise in advancing this understanding We conducted a literature search using PubMed, of ‘human migraine triggering’ and ‘human migraine provocation’ to identify articles of interest. We discuss therapeutic targets that have emerged from such work, including calcitonin family peptides (amylin (AMY) and adrenomedullin (ADM)), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) and potassium channels. We discuss our views on the clinical translation of the outcomes of such studies, and their previous and potential future impact on migraine therapeutics. Migraine provocation models provide a valuable means to study human migraine phenotypically and biologically, as well as to assess treatment response. Downstream intracellular mechanisms of provocation agents can be targeted during cellular processing to alter cell function and influence migraine mechanisms. It is important to caveat the clinical translation of provocation studies, given that just because a substance triggers migraine experimentally, does not necessarily mean that the substance is involved in the spontaneous human condition.

description: The purpose of this methodological brief is to provide guidance on HOW to study the WHAT of the ENFASYS project. While the "WHAT" is outlined in the ENFASYS conceptual framework, the "HOW" is addressed in this brief:How can ENFASYS support societal actors to understand and address lock-ins that constrain transitions to resilient and sustainable agriculture across scales - towards sustainable agricultural systems?To answer this question, this brief develops a methodological framework for mapping systems across scales. This processual account of systems mapping across scales supports research teams in bridging the gap between systemic and behavioural methodologies. As such, systems mapping across scales provides a framework for actionable interdisciplinary research. One that takes into account the different perspectives of the research team and stakeholders. Different scales of analysis and action. And how temporality affects both to achieve the ENFASYS goals.This is presented in the four sections of the brief:Section 1 provides an overview of the ENFASYS project. It's key components, objectives and the organization of the work.Section 2 introduces the concepts underlying the ENFASYS methodological framework: systems thinking, systems mapping, and systems change.Section 3 focuses on the application of the systems mapping approach within the ENFASYS framework. It outlines the flow of activities across WPs, scales, and time. It does so by presenting the perspectives of the coordinator, the WP leader, and the CS coordinators.Section 4 summarizes the key points of the methodological framework. It highlights the importance of stakeholder engagement across scales and over time.

description: Thunderstorm asthma (TA) epidemics have been recognized globally as a rare phenomenon, producing a rapid surge of acute asthma presentations leading to an increased demand on emergency medical services and healthcare resources. General practitioners (GPs) are well placed in the community to contribute to healthcare during TA epidemics and similar disaster events. The aim of this review was to synthesize current evidence of the experiences of GPs during TA epidemics and similar surge events. A comprehensive systematic search of eleven electronic databases, including ancestry searching for peer-reviewed studies and grey literature published in English was conducted. Quantitative and qualitative study designs were included, and a quality assessment conducted. Of the 125 records identified, 16 were included for synthesis. During TA epidemics and surge events, GPs experience an increased demand for services, yet it is not known if general practice clinics experience resource limitations from this patient surge. While GPs express a willingness to help, few structures are in place to liaise, support and provide information to GPs during surge events. Following most surge/disaster events, no GP data is collected so it is not known how to improve coordination and communication between general practice services and emergency services. GPs have well-functioning adaptive management systems, and resources of space, supplies and staff thus the ability to increase surge capacity of their clinics.

description: © 2020 by the authors. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only had a significant and catastrophic effect on business and economies globally, but has identified the external and internal enablement of new venture creation. This paper aims to provide entrepreneurship insights, implementations and dynamics to demonstrate the role of entrepreneurship in times of such adversity within an Australian context. We provide emergent enquiry narratives from leading Australian scholars, identifying entrepreneurial initiatives as a catalyst to new venture creation and growth. Narratives include insights associated with the entrepreneurial mindset, the multidimensional effects of resilience and entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurship enablers and the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Opportunities for further research are identified, particularly regarding context and empirical outcomes. We postulate that entrepreneurship may well be the unsung hero during the current COVID-19 economic crisis.

description: The multicenter, prospective MiroCIP observational study investigated the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) by oxaliplatin- and taxane-based chemotherapies but did not examine their differences in detail. This post hoc subanalysis explored the differences between oxaliplatin- and taxane-based chemotherapy, in terms of CIPN symptom profile, severity, and response to analgesics. Patients with colorectal, gastric, non-small cell lung, or breast cancer, scheduled to receive oxaliplatin- or taxane-based chemotherapy, were followed for 12 months to assess the severity of sensory CIPN, by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, and associated subjective and objective symptoms. Overall, 91 patients received oxaliplatin and 131 received a taxane. At 12 months, CIPN prevalence was 74.6% with oxaliplatin and 55.2% with a taxane. Grade ≥ 2 CIPN peaked at 9 months with oxaliplatin and at 3 months with a taxane, with most symptom scores following a similar trajectory. Analgesic efficacy differed between subgroups, providing marked reductions in pain/tingling scores in the taxane group but minimal effect in the oxaliplatin group. CIPN course and symptoms vary with oxaliplatin- or taxane-based chemotherapy. Effective management should be tailored to the type of chemotherapy: oxaliplatin-treated patients may benefit from continuous monitoring of CIPN symptoms, whereas it may be beneficial for taxane-treated patients to receive appropriate analgesics at CIPN onset.

description: Introduction: The Western Desert Kidney Health Project (WDKHP) aimed to determine the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), kidney disease and associated risk factors in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in a remote area of Western Australia. Methods: The project, featuring whole-of-community crosssectional surveys and health assessments using point-of-care testing, was conducted in five small towns and six remote Aboriginal communities in the Goldfields of Western Australia between 2010 and 2014. Initial health assessments were completed by 597 adults (424 Aboriginal) and 502 children (393 Aboriginal). This included almost 80% of the Aboriginal population. All non-Aboriginal people residing in the six remote Aboriginal communities participated. Results: Risk factors for renal disease and T2DM were present in participants of all ages, including children as young as 2 years. There was no significant difference between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children. Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal adult participants had twice the burden of T2DM than the standard Australian population. More than 12% of all children had elevated albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR). Adults had markers of kidney disease at higher rates than expected: 51% of Aboriginal adults and 27% of non-Aboriginal adults had at least one marker of kidney disease (haematuria, proteinuria or elevated ACR). Aboriginal women were the highest risk group (32% T2DM, 40% elevated ACR). Haematuria and low urine pH were common findings, 21% of people had haematuria (greater than trace) and 71% had urine pH of 6 or less; there was no difference in this finding between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. Conclusion: The WDKHP found higher than expected rates of risk factors for T2DM and renal disease compared with Australian Bureau of Statistics rates for Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal adults and children, with Aboriginal women the highest risk group. The rates for non-Aboriginal participants were higher than expected, suggesting exposures in common might be more important than ethnicity. The high prevalence of aciduria and haematuria found in both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal participants in this study suggests that factors contributing to a chronic metabolic acidosis and inflammation or irritation of the urinary tract need to be explored. Drinking water quality in this remote area is known to be poor and may be an important contributing factor. Many of the contributing factors are potentially modifiable-such as water quality, food supply, exercise opportunities and living conditions-offering scope for interventions to reduce the risk and burden of these diseases.

description: © 2020 The Authors Interactions between the gut microbiome and the brain affect mood and behaviour in health and disease. Using preclinical animal models, recent discoveries begin to explain how bacteria in the gut influence our mood as well as highlighting new findings relevant to autism. Autism-associated gene mutations known to alter synapse function in the CNS also affect inflammatory response and modify the enteric nervous system resulting in abnormal gastrointestinal motility and structure. Strikingly, these mutations additionally affect the gut microbiome in mice. This review describes the changes in gut physiology and microbiota in mouse models of autism with modified synapse function. The rationale for different regions of the gastrointestinal tract having variable susceptibility to dysfunction is also discussed. To dissect underlying biological mechanisms involving gut-brain axis dysfunction in preclinical models, a range of multidisciplinary approaches are required. This research will provide insights into the role of the gut-brain axis in health and neurodevelopmental disorders including autism.

description: This study is made to prove the efficiency of the activated carbon (AC) of Lebanese Cymbopogon citratus in the adsorption of lead (Pb(II)) from aqueous medium. The adsorption was found to be dependent on initial metal ion concentration, pH of the solution, temperature, contact time and adsorbent dose. The maximum adsorption capacity was found for the concentration of 450 mg/L, pH 4, temperature 25oC, contact time 2h, and adsorbent dose 1g. The equilibrium adsorption was better described by Freundlich isotherm model rather than Langmuir model.

The kinetic data were better represented by the pseudo-second-order than the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic studies showed that the process was exothermic and spontaneous.

The results of this study reveal that the activated carbon (AC) of Lebanese Cymbopogon citratus is a very effective and environmentally friendly adsorbent, with low cost for Pb (II) removal.

description: © 2020 Elsevier Inc. The ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic threatens the health of humans and causes great economic losses. Predictive modeling and forecasting the epidemic trends are essential for developing countermeasures to mitigate this pandemic. We develop a network model, where each node represents an individual and the edges represent contacts between individuals where the infection can spread. The individuals are classified based on the number of contacts they have each day (their node degrees) and their infection status. The transmission network model was respectively fitted to the reported data for the COVID-19 epidemic in Wuhan (China), Toronto (Canada), and the Italian Republic using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) optimization algorithm. Our model fits all three regions well with narrow confidence intervals and could be adapted to simulate other megacities or regions. The model projections on the role of containment strategies can help inform public health authorities to plan control measures.
New cellular dimensions on glioblastoma progression

Year: 2021

description: © The Author(s) 2020. Gliomas are brain tumors originated from glial cells. The most frequent form of glioma is the glioblastoma (GB). This lethal tumor is frequently originated from genetic alterations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and PI3K pathways. Recent results suggest that signaling pathways, other than primary founder mutations, play a central role in GB progression. Some of these signals are depleted by GB cells from healthy neurons via specialized filopodia known as tumor microtubes (TMs). Here, we discuss the contribution of TMs to vampirize wingless/WNT ligand from neurons. In consequence, wingless/WNT pathway is upregulated in GB to promote tumor progression, and the reduction of these signals in neurons causes the reduction of synapse number and neurodegeneration. These processes contribute to neurological defects and premature death.

description: © 2020 The Author(s). Background: The effect of different orthotic materials on plantar pressures has not been systematically investigated. This study aimed to review and summarise the findings from studies that have evaluated the effect of orthotic materials on plantar pressures. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of experimental studies that evaluated the effect of foot orthotic materials or shoe insole materials on plantar pressures using in-shoe testing during walking. The following databases were searched: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase and SPORTDiscus. Included studies were assessed for methodological quality using a modified Quality Index. Peak pressure, pressure-time integral, maximum force, force-time integral, contact area, and contact time were variables of interest. Data were synthesised descriptively as studies were not sufficiently homogeneous to conduct meta-analysis. Standardised mean differences (Cohen's d) were calculated to provide the size of the effect between materials found in each study. Results: Five studies were identified as meeting the eligibility criteria. All five studies were laboratory-based and used a repeated measures design. The quality of the studies varied with scores ranging between 20 and 23 on the modified Quality Index (maximum index score 28). The included studies investigated the effects of polyurethane (including PORON®), polyethylene (including Plastazote®), ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA) and carbon graphite on plantar pressures. Polyurethane (including PORON®), polyethylene (including Plastazote®) and EVA were all found to reduce peak pressure. Conclusion: Based on the limited evidence supplied from the five studies included in this review, some orthotic materials can reduce plantar pressures during walking. Polyurethane (including PORON®), polyethylene (including Plastazote®) and EVA reduce peak pressure beneath varying regions of the foot. Future well-designed studies will strengthen this evidence.

Obtained platings are uniform, non – porous and are characterized by high adhesion.  The optimal parameters of the process (current density, electrolysis duration, ratio between anode currents of molybdenum and nickel) were determined. MicroX-ray and fluorescence analyses of obtained samples were carried out. Molybdenum content in the plating was determined. The existence of fine-dispersed phases of MoNi3 and MoNi4 were established. Electrical and mechanical properties of above – mentioned platings were studied after the heat treatment for their operation at high temperatures.

description: With the fast development of nanotechnology, the nanomaterials have raised questions concerning its potential toxic effects on human health. In this study, the effects of lanthanum oxide nanoparticles on the primary osteoblasts were investigated. As an indicator of membrane damage, lactate dehydrogenase was quantitatively assessed. The quantitative analysis on cellular uptake of lanthanum oxide nanoparticles could be detected by flow cytometer and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, respectively. The results demonstrated that lanthanum oxide nanoparticles can enter cells through cell membrane and the nanoparticles taken up in the cells followed dose and time dependent effect. The methods could be used for the initial screening of the uptake potential of nanoparticles as an index of nanotoxicity.

description: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disorder that ultimately results in the progressive destruction of articular cartilage with joint-space narrowing, bony enlargement at joint margins, subchondral sclerosis, and synovitis.The occurrence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) increases with obesity and is more common in women compared with men.
      Thirty patients (20females, 10 males) clinically diagnosed with knee OA admitted to Baghdad teaching hospital between January 2015-June 2015. Patients between 35-70 year of age and 30 healthy subject (20females, 10 males) ages matched.
     The results showed that increased BMI is a well-recognized risk factor for knee osteoarthritis, and the effect of obesity is a stronger predictor of developing knee OA symptoms in women than men. There was also a significant difference between LDH in serum patients and control (p˂0.01).
      This study supporting appositive associated between systemic BMI and OA; furthermore serum LDH activity could be of diagnostic value for identifying osteoarthritis.

description: The aim of this study was designed to determine whether maternal supplementation with olive oil influence plasma lipid profile and oxidant/antioxidant status later in life of rats with cafeteria- diet-fed during gestation and in their offspring throughout adulthood. Altering the fatty acid profile of rat diets during the gestation has long-term consequences for the growth and development of their offspring. Our results clearly demonstrate that maternal intake of olive oil before gestation, during gestation and during lactation display remarkable health benefits for the prevention of obesity and associated metabolic disorders by decreasing the lipoprotein metabolism and oxidant/antioxidant status alterations brought about by obesity in offspring at birth until adulthood.

description: Стаття присвячена розробленню теоретичних засад когнітивного моделювання кластерної динаміки в умовах регіонального розвитку. Обґрунтовано необхідність переосмислення кластеру не як винятково інституційної чи просторово-економічної одиниці, а як когнітивної системи, що функціонує на основі обміну знаннями, узгодження очікувань, формування колективної ідентичності та підтримки смислової когерентності учасників. Доведено, що адаптивність кластерів, їхня інноваційна спроможність і регіональна стійкість є результатом не стільки технічної координації, скільки когнітивної взаємодії агентів у межах складного інформаційного середовища.

У процесі дослідження здійснено теоретичну реконструкцію двох вимірів когнітивної структури кластеру: семантичного (що охоплює ментальні карти, уявлення про спільне майбутнє, ціннісні координати та ідентифікаційні смисли) і поведінкового (що виявляється у довірі, спільному навчанні, мережевій взаємодії, стратегічній координації). На основі міждисциплінарного синтезу представлено авторську аналітичну матрицю когнітивних характеристик кластеру, що демонструє взаємозалежність між рівнем смислової інтеграції учасників і ступенем поведінкової скоординованості. Така матриця слугує інструментом діагностики внутрішньої когерентності кластерної системи та її здатності до адаптації в умовах невизначеності.

Окрему увагу приділено регуляторним аспектам когнітивного підходу до стратегічного планування. Запропоновано нову інтерпретацію ролі держави як фасилітатора когнітивної взаємодії, що не стільки проєктує траєкторію розвитку, скільки забезпечує умови для формування узгоджених уявлень, зниження когнітивного тертя між учасниками кластеру та підтримки довіри як стратегічного ресурсу. Наголошено на важливості впровадження сценарного планування як форми колективної рефлексії щодо майбутнього та інструменту адаптивного стратегування на рівні регіональних економічних систем.

За результатами дослідження зроблено висновок про доцільність інтеграції когнітивного моделювання у процес формування кластерної політики, що дозволяє змістовно осмислити внутрішню логіку поведінки суб’єктів, виявити ментальні бар’єри до співпраці, а також підвищити ефективність стратегічних рішень шляхом зміцнення смислової єдності економічних агентів у межах регіональних мереж.

description: Artificial light at night could have widespread and detrimental impacts on sleep. To reduce disruptive effects of artificial light on sleep in humans, most smartphones and computers now have software that reduces blue light emissions at night. Little is known about whether reducing blue light emissions from city lights could also benefit urban wildlife. We investigated the effects of blue-rich (white) and blue-reduced (amber) LED streetlights on accelerometry-defined rest, electrophysiologically-identified sleep, and plasma melatonin in a diurnal bird, the black swan (Cygnus atratus). Urban swans were exposed to 20 full nights of each lighting type in an outdoor, naturalistic environment. Contrary to our predictions, we found that night-time rest was similar during exposure to amber and white lights but decreased under amber lights compared with dark conditions. By recording brain activity in a subset of swans, we also demonstrated that resting birds were almost always asleep, so amber light also reduced sleep at night. We found no effect of light treatment on total (24 h) daily rest or plasma melatonin. Our study provides the first electrophysiologically-verified evidence for effects of streetlights on sleep in an urban animal, and furthermore suggests that reducing blue wavelengths of light might not mitigate these effects.
Agricultural Input Use in Nigeria: Consistency, Complementarity, and Credit

description: There are complex synergies between different agricultural inputs and practices. For example, improved seeds reach maximum yields only in combination with fertiliser, and fertilisers may have limited effects without adequate weed control, which may necessitate the use of herbicides. Yet, agricultural inputs are often promoted to address single constraints of smallholder farmers without taking into account such agronomic synergies. In an earlier paper, Sheahan & Barrett (2017) found “a surprising dearth of synergistic use of modern inputs” in Africa, which they describe as an untapped potential. This study assesses input use in Nigeria using three waves (2010 – 2016) of the agricultural-focused household-level LSMS-ISA panel dataset (Living Standard Measurement Survey – Integrated Surveys on Agriculture) from the World Bank. The research explores whether Nigerian farmers use modern agricultural inputs, such as fertilisers, herbicides, pesticides, purchased seeds, and irrigation, synergistically or as stand-alone inputs. Additionally, the study investigates the consistency of input use, or whether farmers “move in” or “move out of” using some inputs, throughout 2010-2016. Lastly, the study analyses the effect of credit on using inputs individually and complementarily with logit and Poisson panel regression models. The study found that Nigerian farmers mostly use inputs individually, with fertilisers being the most utilized input. In the Northwest of Nigeria, about 70% of plots applied fertilisers, which was the highest share nationwide. Complementary use was low, with herbicides and fertilisers being the most jointly used inputs, accounting for 20% of plots on the national level. Consistency of input use ranged from moderate to low. Fertilisers and purchased seeds were used by 47% and 50% of households in at least two waves, while the consistency of other inputs’ use was lower. Credits were found to have varying impacts depending on the input and the administrative zones. The type of credit (formal or informal) also mattered for some inputs. Other factors affecting input use included the types of crops (cash crop or food crop), non-farm income, and extension services. Credit was found to be relevant for the complementary use of inputs in Nigeria, and the interaction terms of credit and extension were correlated with using inputs (including fertiliser). The study recommends that agricultural policies regarding credit and inputs should be considered on a zonal or local level rather than nationally. Furthermore, extension services promoting the benefits of using agricultural inputs complementarily should also be promoted.
