Metabolic (or) Production Diseases & Concept of Metabolic Profile Testing in Animals
Creators: name: Ambica Gadige1, Anil Kumar Banothu2* & Suresh Rasamalla3
Publisher: name: The Science world a Monthly e magazine
Year: 2024

description: Metabolic diseases

Occur due to change in metabolism, mainly due to deficiency of nutrients (or) certain components and affect males and females equally irrespective of age.

Eg:      Diabetes Mellitus – Both sexes at any age

            Deficiency disease – Equally affects all age groups

Production diseases

Noticed in high yielding females only like cows, buffalos, Sheep, Goats, and Equines.

Eg: Milk Fever/ Post parturient Hypocalcemia, Ketosis etc.,

Production diseases are concerned with peri-parturient period i.e., 2 months before and 2 months after parturition.

Presently, ‘Metabolic disease’ word is replaced by ‘Production diseases’ which encompasses all metabolic disorders which are due to an ‘Imbalance between Input and Output’.  Wherein Input is in the form of Diet/feed and Output is by production (Milk & meat) & reproduction 

If we assume dairy cattle can be considered as  living milk producer  machine, then the method of production would be as follows
From the Mouths of Men: A Model of Men's Perception of Social Identity Threat Toward Women in the Workplace and Endorsement of Identity Safety Behaviors

description: This study proposed a moderated mediation model where social identity complexity was hypothesized to predict endorsement of identity safety behaviors intended to mitigate social identity threat for women in a male-dominated work context. Male awareness of systemic social identity threats for women was examined as a potential mediator of the proposed relationship between social identity complexity and identity safety endorsement. Finally, psychosocial safety climate was hypothesized to moderate the relationship between sensitivity to women's identity threat and identity safety endorsement. More than 400 STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) male professors completed an online questionnaire measuring the study constructs. Ordinary least squares regression and bootstrapping methods were used to test the study hypotheses. Results showed that certain dimensions of social identity complexity predicted identity safety endorsement. While male sensitivity to women's identity threat predicted a particular type of identity safety endorsement, there was no support for the construct as a mediator. There was also no support found for psychosocial safety climate as a moderator in this study. Supplemental findings revealed that having academic tenure and increased contact with women colleagues positively predicted endorsement of identity safety. Theoretical implications, directions for future research, and practical implications are discussed.

description: Nonlinear charge transport, such as nonreciprocal longitudinal resistance and nonlinear Hall effect, has attracted considerable interest in probing the symmetries and topological properties of new materials. Recent research has revealed significant nonreciprocal longitudinal resistance and nonlinear Hall effect in MnBi2Te4, an intrinsic magnetic topological insulator, induced by the quantum metric dipole. However, the inconsistent response with charge density and conflicting C3z symmetry requirement necessitate a thorough understanding of factors affecting the nonlinear transport measurement. This study uncovers an experimental factor leading to significant nonlinear transport signals in MnBi2Te4, attributed to gate voltage oscillation from the application of large alternating current. Additionally, a methodology is proposed to suppress this effect by individually grounding the voltage electrodes during second-harmonic measurements. The investigation underscores the critical importance of assessing the impact of gate voltage oscillation before determining the intrinsic nature of nonlinear transport in 2D material devices with an electrically connected operative gate electrode.

description: Introduced parasites that alter their host's mating signal can change the evolutionary trajectory of a species through sexual selection. Darwin's Camarhynchus finches are threatened by the introduced fly Philornis downsi that is thought to have accidentally arrived on the Galapagos Islands during the 1960s. The P. downsi larvae feed on the blood and tissue of developing finches, causing on average approximately 55% in-nest mortality and enlarged naris size in survivors. Here we test if enlarged naris size is associated with song characteristics and vocal deviation in the small tree finch (Camarhynchus parvulus), the critically endangered medium tree finch (C. pauper) and the recently observed hybrid tree finch group (Camarhynchus hybrids). Male C. parvulus and C. pauper with enlarged naris size produced song with lower maximum frequency and greater vocal deviation, but there was no significant association in hybrids. Less vocal deviation predicted faster pairing success in both parental species. Finally, C. pauper males with normal naris size produced species-specific song, but male C. pauper with enlarged naris size had song that was indistinguishable from other tree finches. When parasites disrupt host mating signal, they may also facilitate hybridization. Here we show how parasite-induced naris enlargement affects vocal quality, resulting in blurred species mating signals.

description: M. Goresky, G. Harder, and R. MacPherson defined weighted cohomologies of arithmetic groups Γin a real group G, with coefficients in certain local systems, associated to arbitrary upper and lower weight profiles. The author shows, using essentially local arguments on the reductive Borel-Serre compactification, that these cohomologies agree with certain weighted L^2 cohomologies defined by J. Franke. When the rank of G is equal to that of a maximal compact subgroup, this implies that the cohomologies associated to both upper and lower middle profiles are both isomorphic to L^2 cohomology.

description: One of the major challenges in particle physics and cosmology is understanding why there is an asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the Universe. One possible explanation for this phenomenon is thermal leptogenesis, which involves the addition of at least two right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) to the standard model. Another possible explanation is baryogenesis through the hypermagnetic fields which involves the ${\rm U}_Y(1)$ anomaly and helical hypermagnetic fields in the early Universe. In this paper, after reviewing the thermal leptogenesis and baryogenesis through the ${\rm U}_Y(1)$ anomaly, we investigate the simplest model that combines these two scenarios and explore the parameter space for optimal results. Our results show that the combined scenario permits a specific region of parameter space that is not covered by either one separately. In fact, the minimum required mass scale of the RHN and strength of initial hypermagnetic helicity are reduced by one order of magnitude in our model. Moreover, we find that in the combined scenario, leptogenesis and baryogenesis through the ${\rm U}_Y(1)$ anomaly can either amplify or reduce the effect of each other, i.e., the generated asymmetry, depending on the sign of the helical hypermagnetic fields. Finally, we show the surprising result that a drastic amplification can occur even when the initial abundance of RHN is its equilibrium value for leptogenesis.

description: The quantum SearchRank algorithm is a promising tool for a future quantum search engine based on PageRank quantization. However, this algorithm loses its functionality when the $N/M$ ratio between the network size $N$ and the number of marked nodes $M$ is sufficiently large. We propose a modification of the algorithm, replacing the underlying Szegedy quantum walk with a semiclassical walk. To maintain the same time complexity as the quantum SearchRank algorithm we propose a simplification of the algorithm. This new algorithm is called Randomized SearchRank, since it corresponds to a quantum walk over a randomized mixed state. The performance of the SearchRank algorithms is first analyzed on an example network, and then statistically on a set of different networks of increasing size and different number of marked nodes. On the one hand, to test the search ability of the algorithms, it is computed how the probability of measuring the marked nodes decreases with $N/M$ for the quantum SearchRank, but remarkably it remains at a high value around $0.9$ for our semiclassical algorithms, solving the quantum SearchRank problem. The time complexity of the algorithms is also analyzed, obtaining a quadratic speedup with respect to the classical ones. On the other hand, the ranking functionality of the algorithms has been investigated, obtaining a good agreement with the classical PageRank distribution. Finally, the dependence of these algorithms on the intrinsic PageRank damping parameter has been clarified. Our results suggest that this parameter should be below a threshold so that the execution time does not increase drastically.

description: We consider n-point sticky Brownian motions: a family of n diffusions that evolve as independent Brownian motions when they are apart, and interact locally so that the set of coincidence times has positive Lebesgue measure with positive probability. These diffusions can also be seen as n random motions in a random environment whose distribution is given by so-called stochastic flows of kernels. For a specific type of sticky interaction, we prove exact formulas characterizing the stochastic flow and show that in the large deviations regime, the random fluctuations of these stochastic flows are Tracy-Widom GUE distributed. An equivalent formulation of this result states that the extremal particle among n sticky Brownian motions has Tracy-Widom distributed fluctuations in the large n and large time limit. These results are proved by viewing sticky Brownian motions as a (previously known) limit of the exactly solvable beta random walk in random environment.

We introduce a formal approach which seems to be useful in the study of those properties of operators on $X$ which depend only on the norms of images of elements. This approach is applied to the Daugavet equation for norms of operators; in particular we develop a general theory of narrow operators and rich subspaces of $X$ previously studied in the context of the classical spaces $C(K)$ and $L_1(μ)$.

description: We take a new look at the problem of disentangling the volatility and jumps processes of daily stock returns. We first provide a computational framework for the univariate stochastic volatility model with Poisson-driven jumps that offers a competitive inference alternative to the existing tools. This methodology is then extended to a large set of stocks for which we assume that their unobserved jump intensities co-evolve in time through a dynamic factor model. To evaluate the proposed modelling approach we conduct out-of-sample forecasts and we compare the posterior predictive distributions obtained from the different models. We provide evidence that joint modelling of jumps improves the predictive ability of the stochastic volatility models.

description: Large bone defects present a major challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. Tissue engineering technology may provide a potential strategy to repair such defects, which involves the implantation of scaffold constructs typically loaded with cells and growth factors. It is expected that such growth factors loaded scaffolds can produce optimal microenvironments for the differentiation of seeded cells. The purpose of this project was to construct a dual growth factor release system in vitro using gelatin hydrogel and microspheres (MSs) to carry and deliver two growth factors, which have different effects on the growth and development of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) as well as bone tissues. The experimental studies of this project were divided into three sections as detailed below. In the first section of this study, both the conventional double emulsion technique and the electrospraying technology were combined with the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) approach to prepare the bovine serum albumin (BSA)-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) porous MSs. The particle size, surface morphology and the internal porous structure of the MSs were characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The release profile and the encapsulation efficiency of the BSA as a model protein in the PLGA MSs were established. The results showed that the novel electrosprayed MSs had uniform particle sizes between 400-600mm, many well-connected internal pores, high efficiencies of encapsulation and loading of the model protein, and a higher porosity than those MSs derived from the conventional double-emulsion method. Thus, the combination of the electrospraying technique with a low temperature freezing had proved to be a suitable method to produce polymer MSs for the controlled-release of the loaded-protein.

description: Neuraminidase (NA) cleaves the glycosidic bond linkages of sialic acids to release the mature virions from infected cells and has been an attractive therapeutic target for anti-influenza agents. In our ongoing investigation of NA inhibitors in mushroom extracts, we found that the extract the fruiting body of Glaziella splendens potently inhibited neuraminidase. The fruiting bodies of G. splendens were extracted and partitioned successively with hexane, ethyl acetate, and butanol. The ethyl acetate soluble-layer was subjected to silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies, and MPLC to obtain five compounds (1–5). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. NA inhibitory activity of these compounds was evaluated using NAs from recombinant rvH1N1, H3N2, and H5N1 influenza A viruses. One compound (1) was elucidated as a new azaphilone derivative, and four compounds (2–5) were identified as entonaemin A, comazaphilone D, rubiginosin A, and entonaemin B, respectively. Compounds 3 and 4 showed considerable inhibitory activity against three types of neuraminidases with the IC50 values of 30.9, 41.8, and 35.7 µM for 3 and 46.5, 50.4, and 29.9 µM for 4, respectively. This study reveals that the fruiting bodies of G. splendens possess azaphilone derivatives with the NA inhibitory activity. This is the first report on the isolation of neuraminidase inhibitors from the fruiting bodies of G. splendens.

description: We investigate the impact of confinement density (i.e the number of individuals in a group per unit area of available space) on transitions from polarized to milling state, using groups of rummy-nose tetra fish (\textit{Hemigrammus rhodostomus}) under controlled experimental conditions. We demonstrate a continuous state transition controlled by confinement density in a group of live animals. During this transition, the school exhibits a bistable state, wherein both polarization and milling states coexist, with the group randomly alternating between them. A simple two-state Markov process describes the observed transition remarkably well. The confinement density influences the statistics of this bistability, shaping the distribution of transition times between states. Our findings suggest that confinement plays a crucial role in state transitions for moving animal groups. More generally, they provide an experimental benchmark for active matter models of macroscopic, self-propelled, confined agents.

description: Teach For America (TFA) is a non-profit whose mission involves addressing and eliminating the racial achievement gap in education. To that end, TFA recruits and trains thousands of teachers each year, mostly recent college graduates, to spend two years teaching in low-income neighborhoods across America. The theory of change publicly espoused by TFA, however, includes a second component that is predicated on the notion that participation in TFA will be a “transformational experience” for those who join the organization – an experience that will turn participants into lifelong advocates for educational equity, and inform and influence their future endeavors. While TFA has long been a magnet for controversy, the criticisms have come to include the organization’s place in a policy context awash with neoliberal influences.
      Researchers have looked at the impact of TFA teachers on student outcomes with increasingly sophisticated research designs, but much less has been written about the second half of TFA’s theory of change. Further, while the exploits of TFA and its alumni in policy are increasingly the subject of both academic and popular articles, little of this research examines the role that the TFA experience is playing in the current work of TFA alumni in policy.
      Using data gathered from 45 semi-structured interviews with TFA alumni who now work in public policy, as well as news sources, public statements and press releases from TFA and its leadership and other publicly available materials, this dissertation examines the ways in which TFA and its alumni are involved in education policy, and how the TFA experience factors into the lives and work of these alumni. This study also examines the ways in which TFA and its alumni are engaged in matters of charter schools and school choice, teacher evaluation and accountability, and teacher preparation policy, as well as the ways in which alumni credit their TFA experience for influencing their views. Further, this work looks to separate the influences that come directly from TFA, such as TFA messaging or TFA-planned events, and those that are the result of joining TFA, but that fall outside of TFA’s immediate control.

description: Abstract

Background: The rise of infertility among women is a major challenge globally, were the women experience disturbances in physical, mental, social domains which results in lots of stress and poor quality over her life. Purpose: The purpose of current study was to investigate the effectiveness of Benson’s relation therapy on stress level and quality of life among women with infertility. Materials and methods: Quasi -experimental pretest posttest control group research design was conducted in the Fertility Clinic of host institution. A total of 60 women with infertility who fulfils and meets the inclusion criteria were recruited as study participants. Using purposive sampling technique and were equally divided in both interventional and placebo group. A total of 30 study participants were allotted to the interventional group (Benson’s relaxation therapy) and remaining 30study participants were allotted to the placebo group. On Day-1, demographic and clinical data were collected from the study participants, followed by that, the stress level    was assessed by using Perceived Stress Scale [PSS-10] and the quality of life using Ferti QOL. For the interventional group, Benson’s Relaxation Therapy were performed for two sessions per day for the duration of 1 week. Post-Assessment: On Day- 8, study participants were re-assessed by using Perceived Stress Scale [PSS-10] and Ferti QOL in both the interventional group and placebo group. Results: The study results concluded that, the pretest mean score of stress in the Interventional group was 28.63±4.63 and posttest mean score was 10.20±3.49. The mean difference score was 18.43. The calculated paired ‘t’ test value of t = 26.239 was statistically significant at p<0.001 level. The pretest mean score of quality of life in the e interventional group was 70.43±16.53 and posttest mean score was 154.66±10.74. The mean difference score was 84.23. The calculated paired ‘t’ test value of t = 23.908 was statistically significant at p<0.001 level. This clearly shows that after performing Benson’s Relaxation Therapy the stress was significantly reduced and the quality of life was improved among the women with infertility in the Interventional group. Conclusion: Benson’s relaxation technique proved to be an effective intervention in reducing the stress and improves the quality of life among women suffering with infertility.

Auch wenn die Forderungen von Gewerkschaften und Politikern nach mehr Mindestlöhnen in Deutschland sicherlich gut gemeint und durchaus verständlich sind, müssen sie aus ökonomischer Sicht abgelehnt werden. Um die Gewinne, welche die Globalisierung verspricht, realisieren und die nach wie vor hohe Arbeitslosigkeit hierzulande nachhaltig senken zu können, benötigt Deutschland einen funktionierenden Arbeitsmarkt mit einer flexiblen Lohnstruktur. Weitere Mindestlöhne würden die Probleme auf dem deutschen Arbeitsmarkt dagegen eher verschärfen.

Here the Fedosov construction is appropriately adapted using the geometric data of a connection in the vector bundle. Moreover, the relation between the star products of Wick and anti Wick type is clarified by constructing a canonical Morita equivalence bimodule as bimodule deformation of the canonical line bundle over the Kahler manifold.

description: A unique pattern selection in the absolutely unstable regime of driven, nonlinear, open-flow systems is reviewed. It has recently been found in numerical simulations of propagating vortex structures occuring in Taylor-Couette and Rayleigh-Benard systems subject to an externally imposed through-flow. Unlike the stationary patterns in systems without through-flow the spatiotemporal structures of propagating vortices are independent of parameter history, initial conditions, and system length. They do, however, depend on the boundary conditions in addition to the driving rate and the through-flow rate. Our analysis of the Ginzburg-Landau amplitude equation elucidates how the pattern selection can be described by a nonlinear eigenvalue problem with the frequency being the eigenvalue. Approaching the border between absolute and convective instability the eigenvalue problem becomes effectively linear and the selection mechanism approaches that of linear front propagation.

description: We prove the doubling property of L-caloric measure corresponding to the second order parabolic equation in the whole space and in Lipschitz domains. For parabolic equations in the divergence form, a weaker form of the doubling property follows easily from a recent result, the backward Harnack inequality, and known estimates of Green's function. Our method works for both the divergence and nondivergence cases. Moreover, the backward Harnack inequality and estimates of Green's function are not needed in the course of proof.

description: Examining a circumscribed period of intense contact, conflict and competition between the late Roman Empire in the west, and the Sasanian Persian Empire in the east, this project reconsiders in a cross-disciplinary light those canonical objects of inquiry that shape modern characterizations of the later Roman Empire. Identifying for the first time significant similarities between late Roman and Sasanian court commissions, the project demonstrates how Roman emperors of the late third and early fourth centuries selectively imported, adapted and repackaged aspects of Sasanian ideology and court culture--including elements of palatial design, performative ceremonial and specific iconographies.  It is argued that this cultural appropriation was part of an effort to redress the negative image of Roman power propagated by the Sasanian court.

description: Nonclinical frontline employees (FLE) work in a complex role that provides critical administrative support to healthcare organizations and they are extremely vulnerable to workplace stress. These employees frequently encounter challenging situations and routinely interact and serve many demanding customers. The purpose of this exploratory study was to understand how FLEs have learned the abilities they utilized to cope with workplace stress and how these relate to emotional intelligence. Utilizing a comprehensive survey; comprised of a demographic questionnaire, three assessment instruments (PSS, Brief COPE and SSEIT), a critical incident series and individual interviews, this study sought to understand the learned strategies acquired through personal and professional experiences and how those experiences impacted coping tendencies. FLEs were found to perceive high self efficacy and routinely regulated emotions in an effort to manage stress. Employees also adeptly managed routine conflict and impromptu difficult interactions. Formal, Nonformal and informal learning were pivotal to cultivating the strategies utilized in the workplace. Despite unpredictable stress levels, role ambiguity and the desire for stress management training, FLEs were optimistic, demonstrated the ability to use emotional intelligence and coped relatively well in the workplace.

Fractionalization and Anomalies in Symmetry-Enriched U(1) Gauge Theories

description: We classify symmetry fractionalization and anomalies in a (3+1)d U(1) gauge theory enriched by a global symmetry group $G$. We find that, in general, a symmetry-enrichment pattern is specified by 4 pieces of data: $ρ$, a map from $G$ to the duality symmetry group of this $\mathrm{U}(1)$ gauge theory which physically encodes how the symmetry permutes the fractional excitations, $ν\in\mathcal{H}^2_ρ[G, \mathrm{U}_\mathsf{T}(1)]$, the symmetry actions on the electric charge, $p\in\mathcal{H}^1[G, \mathbb{Z}_\mathsf{T}]$, indication of certain domain wall decoration with bosonic integer quantum Hall (BIQH) states, and a torsor $n$ over $\mathcal{H}^3_ρ[G, \mathbb{Z}]$, the symmetry actions on the magnetic monopole. However, certain choices of $(ρ, ν, p, n)$ are not physically realizable, i.e. they are anomalous. We find that there are two levels of anomalies. The first level of anomalies obstruct the fractional excitations being deconfined, thus are referred to as the deconfinement anomaly. States with these anomalies can be realized on the boundary of a (4+1)d long-range entangled state. If a state does not suffer from a deconfinement anomaly, there can still be the second level of anomaly, the more familiar 't Hooft anomaly, which forbids certain types of symmetry fractionalization patterns to be implemented in an on-site fashion. States with these anomalies can be realized on the boundary of a (4+1)d short-range entangled state. We apply these results to some interesting physical examples.

Frontier Identities and Migrating Souls: Reconceptualizing New Religious and Cultural Imaginaries in the Iberian Worlds
Creators: Méndez-Oliver, Ana L.

Subjects: Literature, Medieval

description: This dissertation studies the presence of hybridity, in both text and images, as a way of representing the different ethnic groups that resided in the Iberian Peninsula in the texts outlined above, along with a number of late-fifteenth-century and sixteenth-century texts belonging to lay and religious culture. The category of hybridity in conjunction with the construction of spaces and counter-spaces present in the texts and images of my dissertation serve as the unifying principle of this study by providing a particularly fruitful case study of ethnic representations of Jews, conversos, Muslims and moriscos in late Medieval and Early Modern Iberian cultural studies. The project highlights those images and spaces that began to be created in texts and illustrations representing Jews, conversos, Muslims and moriscos in the Spanish kingdoms in the decades that followed the statutes of blood purity in 1449, at a time when Spain’s national hegemonic project begins to emerge, and throughout the sixteenth century, during a time of imperial creation and expansion. In addition, it examines, particularly, how images previously used to depict Jews and Muslims in different textual and artistic traditions in the Middle Ages in order to illustrate religious differences began to be re-articulated in the second half of the fifteenth century to denote racial differences between that which was conceived of as autochthonous to the Iberian Peninsula, Christian and descendant of Visigoth, and that which gradually was perceived as threatening and foreign, Jews, conversos, Muslims and moriscos. The selection of texts and images of this study provides an interdisciplinary and comprehensive sample of sources while studying their historical and textual specificity. Moreover, this dissertation establishes a dialogue between texts belonging to different traditions, diatribes, polemical works, propagandistic literature, poetry, legends, sermons, and historical texts in order to demonstrate how the images of hybrids, animals and monsters were employed as a rhetoric of exclusion in some circles but also became a tool used by some conversos and moriscos in order to advocate the inclusion of ethnic groups to the Spanish hegemonic national and imperial project.

description: It is known that Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser boundaries appear in sufficiently smooth 2-dimensional area-preserving maps. When such boundaries are destroyed, they become pseudo-boundaries. We show that pseudo-boundaries can also be found in discontinuous maps. The origin of these pseudo-boundaries are groups of chains of islands which separate parts of the phase space and need to be crossed in order to move between the different sub-spaces. Trajectories, however, do not easily cross these chains, but tend to propagate along them. This type of behavior is demonstrated using a ``generalized'' Fermi map.
