description: Ipomoea muricata (L.) Jacq. has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, haemostatic and antioxidant effects, but its pharmacological components are still unclear. This study comprehensively identified chemical constituents and absorbed components of I. muricata by UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS. The column temperature was 35 °C, and the injection volume was 2 μl. The mobile phase using a 0.1% formic acid as phase A and 0.1% formic acid of solution in methanol as phase B was adopted in positive ion mode. And the mobile phase using a 10 mM formic ammonia solution as phase A and 10 mM formic ammonia of solution in 95% methanol as phase B was adopted in negative ion mode. In this study, we identified 25 compounds from the alcoholic extract of I. muricata, including 11 organic acids, 5 coumarins, 2 flavonoids, 7 alkaloids and nitrogen-containing compounds. Nine absorbed components were identified from the serum of rats after administration, including adenosine, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, chlorogenic acid, dextroquinic acid, shikimic acid, caffeic acid, p-hydroxycinnamic acid, chrysin, and umbelliferone. UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS technique can quickly identify the chemical constituents and absorbed components in rat serum of I. muricata, and provide scientific basis for clarifying the pharmacodynamic material basis and optimising the quality control index of I. muricata.

description: Frequent consumption of sports and energy drinks among athletes is of concern due to its detrimental impact on oral health. The present study aimed to assess sports and energy drink consumption, oral health status and impacts on daily activities and sports performance among elite athletes from Pakistan. Data regarding socio-demographic characteristics, sports and energy drink consumption, oral health and hygiene practices, self-reported oral health and psychosocial and performance impact was assessed using a self-administered, structured questionnaire followed by clinical oral examination by a single, experienced dentist. A total of 104 athletes, a majority of whom were male (80.8%), participated in the study. Around two third of the participants reported consumption of sports and energy drinks, energy gels or bars at least once a week, the commonest being Sting. Despite good oral hygiene practices, the athletes generally had poor oral health with high prevalence of dental caries (63.5%), gingivitis (46.1%), irreversible periodontitis (26.9%) and erosive tooth wear (21.2%). More than a quarter (28.8%) of the athletes rated their oral health as fair—very poor. Four in five athletes (80%) also experienced at least one oral problem with negative impacts on daily activities (64.4%) and participation training and sports performance (36.5%). Regression analyses revealed a significant association between periodontal disease and impact on both daily activities and sports performance. To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting that high-prevalence sports and energy drink consumption and oral problems among elite athletes from Pakistan has a negative impact on daily activities and sports performance. These findings may have important implications for oral health education programs, and the need to create awareness among the athletes regarding the use of sports and energy drinks, as well as regular oral health screening of athletes to minimize the impact on performance.

description: Automobile industries worldwide extensively use organic solvents. Yet, limited studies have examined the health and safety of handling these solvents, which can only be assured if workers have appropriate knowledge and demonstrate safe practices. A cross-sectional study was conducted to preliminary explore the knowledge and practice among workers who are involved in handling organic solvents in the automobile industry in the largest urban district in Brunei Darussalam. Qualitative data were sourced from open-ended questions, observations, and pictorial evidence through still photographs. Quantitative analysis showed that 75% of the workers practice reading labels, 94.1% use fully covered clothes, 82.4% wear gloves, and 98.5% practice proper hand washing. Furthermore, 98.5% of workers cover container lids. The qualitative analysis illustrated that workers have general knowledge of materials containing solvents but could not identify the exact solvents, the harmful effects of the solvents, pathophysiology, and harmful effects on specific body systems. Health and safety were found to be practiced, albeit not consistently. Health and Safety Authorities in Brunei Darussalam must review and enforce specific policies on the use of organic solvents so that they can be practiced consistently and safely in the automobile industry. Cooperation and collaboration in adhering to the policies are mandatory to ensure health and safety at work.

description: Isotopic and hydrochemical data from lakes provide direct information on catchment response to changing rainfall, evaporation, nutrient cycling, and the health of ecosystems. These techniques have not been widely applied to lakes in the Southern Hemisphere high latitudes, including Southern Ocean Islands (SOIs) experiencing rapid, significant shifts in climate. Historical work has highlighted the localised nature of geochemical drivers in controlling the hydrochemical evolution of lakes, such as geology, sea spray contribution, vegetation, geographical location, and ice cover extent. The role of groundwater in lake hydrology and hydrochemistry has not been identified until now, and its omission will have major implications for interpreting soil–water–air processes affecting lakes. Here we present the first comprehensive, island-wide hydrochemical and isotopic survey of lakes on a SOI. Forty lakes were examined across Macquarie Island, using comparable methods to identify key environmental processes and their geochemical drivers. Methods include stable carbon (δ13CDOC: dissolved organic carbon and δ13CDIC: dissolved inorganic carbon), oxygen (δ18O), hydrogen (δ2H) and strontium isotopic ratios (87Sr/86Sr) in water. These provide essential baseline data for hydrological, biological, and geochemical lake processes. Lakes on the western side of the island are influenced by sea spray aerosols. In general, it was found that lakes at higher elevations are dilute and those located in lower elevation catchments have experienced more water–rock interactions. The hydrochemical and isotopic tracers suggest that lakes in lower elevations contain more terrestrial sourced ions that may be contributed from groundwater. Increasing temperatures and changing rainfall patterns predicted for the region will lead to shifts in nutrient cycles, and impact the island’s unique ecosystems. Future research will focus on long-term monitoring to understand seasonal, annual, and long-term variability to test fundamental hypotheses concerning ecosystem function and the consequences of environmental change on SOIs.

This study evaluates the workload differences between teaching and non-teaching anesthesia staff at Al-Noor Specialist Hospital and examines its impact on performance and vigilance.Objectives: To determine the difference in workload between teaching and non-teaching anesthesia staff, measure the workload in different anesthesia stages, and understand the effects of workload on performance and patient safety.Methods: A cross-sectional study using a Google Forms survey was conducted among anesthesia staff (Anesthesia Technologists, Specialists, and Consultants) at Al-Noor Specialist Hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia.Results: The workload density was slightly higher during the induction, maintenance, and recovery periods in teaching cases compared to non-teaching cases. The majority of participants strongly agreed that increased workload reduces performance and vigilance during surgery.Conclusion: There is only a slight difference in workload between teaching and non-teaching cases, but this small change can significantly affect patient outcomes in anesthesia settings. Further studies are recommended to include more hospitals in Makkah.
‘The two fishery inspectors: managing the Victorian fishery, 1885–1894 ’.
Creators: name: Harris, David
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 4303
subject: Historical studies

description: Abstract
The ‘Outward Letter Book, Inspector of Fisheries and Game’ used between 1885 and 1894 is an unusual archival item at Public Record Office Victoria. Apart from being a rare example of a letter book from the Victorian Government’s colonial-era Department of Fisheries, it was used by only two inspectors over almost 10 years. Rather than the expected matter-of-fact administrative tone, the letters, memos and reports preserved in the Letter Book carry a clear sense of the authors as they express their opinions over a range of matters to do with the fishery. Both inspectors came from maritime backgrounds, so there is strong sense of identification with the commercial fishers with whom they regularly worked. At the same time, there is a palpable resonance with current concerns about the marine environment, species extinction and destructive fishing practices—matters that concerned both commercial fishers and the inspectors. Finally, the Letter Book captures a period of significant change in commercial fishing in the colony, as the older, pre-industrial remnants of artisanal fishing, brought to the colony by commercial fishers during the gold rush, gave way to an imagined industrial fishery with dreams of a Bass Strait trawling industry.
D3.3 - Guidelines for creating a user tailored EOSC Compliant PID Policy

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The main topic of this report concerns the formulation of guidelines for PID Managers regarding the creation of a “user tailored EOSC compliant PID policy.” Central to the work are the following questions. How can we determine the quality of the EOSC PID policy and - in collaboration with all stakeholders - how can we implement a user tailored PID policy? In other words, what principles, roles and criteria can we distinguish when it comes to the use of PIDs in the EOSC. To answer this question, we need to thoroughly and systematically analyze the PID landscape (of which PID Managers are a part). For this, we are working closely with the FAIRCORE4EOSC project in which a Compliance Assessment Toolkit (CAT) is being developed. The CAT will support PID Managers and others with services to encode, record, and query compliance with the policy.

In total 16 guidelines for formulating PID policies are compiled and presented in the report. On this basis, targeted support can be provided for the formulation of EOSC compliant PID policies as provided by the FAIR-IMPACT project.

description: University students globally are consistently identified as a vulnerable group for mental distress and suicide. Despite this, students report low engagement in help-seeking behaviours. This series of studies aimed to assess barriers to help-seeking for students and the impact of an intervention that sought to increase support-seeking intentions. In Study 1, 373 undergraduate psychology students completed items related to depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, stigma, and help-seeking intentions. In Study 2, 133 undergraduate psychology students were randomly allocated into one of three intervention groups (control, infographic, video) and completed measures as used in Study 1. Despite experiencing clinically relevant symptoms and recent suicidal ideation, students in Study 1 tended to report low intentionality to seek help, citing perceptions that their distress was not serious enough or a desire to handle their issues independently. In Study 2, an infographic about different support services increased student’s intentions to access support services and reduced their perception that their issues were not serious enough. Overall, Aotearoa New Zealand students endorsed similar barriers to help-seeking as students in other countries. Importantly, we demonstrated that a simple infographic intervention reduced perceptions regarding these common barriers and may increase students’ knowledge about when to seek help.

MOLECULAR ALTERATIONS IN HUMAN GENETIC DISEASES THROUGH NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING TECHNOLOGIES

Year: 2015

description: Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies have greatly impacted every field of molecular research, reducing costs and simultaneously increasing throughput of DNA sequencing. These features, together with technology’s flexibility, have open the way to a variety of applications, especially for the study of the molecular basis of human diseases. So far, several analytical approaches have been developed to selectively enrich regions of interest from the whole genome, both to identify germinal and/or somatic sequence variants. All of these have assessed their potential in research area and are now being improved also in routine molecular diagnostics. Thanks to the improvement due to NGS methods introduction, also the metagenomic field has achieved very exciting results, increasing our knowledge about the microbiome and its mutually beneficial relationships with the human host. If microbiome plays a role in the maintenance of a healthy status, it is conceivable to suppose that its quantitative and/or qualitative alterations could lead to pathological dysbiosis, as shown in an increasing number of intestinal and extra-intestinal diseases. The aim of this project was to use NGS-based strategies to study the molecular basis of human diseases. In particular, two analytic approaches were used: DNA sequence capture and metagenomics. A DNA sequence capture approach was used to analyze a large panel of genes possibly related to inherited cardiomyopathies. The obtained results indicate that this approach is useful to analyze, in a time and cost effective manner, heterogeneous diseases allowing the identification not only of the disease-causing mutation, but also of other variants involved in disease-phenotypic expression. Finally, methods reliability was higher than traditional, currently used techniques. All the above data indicate that this validated NGS-based approach can be used to improve the molecular analysis of inherited cardiomyopathies, such as of other inherited diseases, also in routine diagnostic settings. With regard to metagenomics, a 16S rRNA pyrotag analysis was carried out to deeply investigate the gut microbiome composition of Crohn and celiac diseases. Specific microbial signatures were identified in the patients. Moreover, the effects of Crohn nutritional therapy on gut microbial composition were also verified. These results suggest a role of gut microbiome in diseases pathogenesis and could, in turn, make possible to develop novel diagnostic, prognostic and, most important, therapeutic strategies. Taken together, all the above results indicate that the used NGS-based procedures can be easily applied to increase our understanding of the molecular basis of human diseases and that they can be useful also for routine diagnostic purposes.

description: In professional rugby union, it is common for players to switch between catered and non-catered dietary environments throughout a season. However, little is known about the difference in dietary intake between these two settings. Twelve elite male professional rugby union players (28.3 ± 2.9 y, 188.9 ± 9.5 cm, 104.1 ± 13.3 kg) from the New Zealand Super Rugby Championship completed seven-day photographic food diaries with two-way communication during two seven-day competition weeks in both catered and non-catered environments. While no significant differences were observed in relative carbohydrate intake, mean seven-day absolute energy intakes (5210 ± 674 vs. 4341 ± 654 kcal·day−1), relative protein (2.8 ± 0.3 vs. 2.3 ± 0.3 g·kgBM·day−1) and relative fat (2.1 ± 0.3 vs. 1.5 ± 0.3 g·kgBM·day−1) intakes were significantly higher in the catered compared to the non-catered environment (respectively) among forwards (n = 6). Backs (n = 6) presented non-significantly higher energy and macronutrient intakes within a catered compared to a non-catered environment. More similar dietary intakes were observed among backs regardless of the catering environment. Forwards may require more support and/or attention when transitioning between catered and non-catered environments to ensure that recommended dietary intakes are being achieved.

description: This Aboriginal-led study explores Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents’ experiences of COVID-19. 110 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents were interviewed between October 2020 and March 2022. Participants were recruited through community networks and partner health services in South Australia, Victoria, and Northern Territory, Australia. Participants were predominantly female (89%) and based in Victoria (47%) or South Australia (45%). Inductive thematic analysis identified three themes: (1) Changes to daily living; (2) Impact on social and emotional wellbeing; and (3) Disconnection from family, community, and culture. COVID-19 impacted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. Disruption to cultural practice, and disconnection from country, family, and community was detrimental to wellbeing. These impacts aggravated pre-existing inequalities and may continue to have greater impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents and communities due to intergenerational trauma, stemming from colonisation, violence and dispossession and ongoing systemic racism. We advocate for the development of a framework that ensures an equitable approach to future public health responses for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

description: Water oxidation, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is the anodic process in electrocatalytic production of hydrogen and further green fuels. Transition-metal oxyhydroxides with bulk-phase OER activity of the complete material or amorphized near-surface regions are of prime application interest, but their basic electrochemical properties are insufficiently understood. Here the timescale of functional processes is clarified by time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for a thickness-series of cobalt oxyhydroxides films (about 35–550 nm). At the outer material surface, an electric double-layer is formed in microseconds followed by clearly cobalt-centered redox-state changes of the bulk material in the low millisecond domain and a slow chemical step of O2-formation, within hundreds of milliseconds. Conceptually interesting, the electrode potential likely controls the OER rate indirectly by driving the catalyst material to an increasingly oxidized state which promotes the rate-limiting chemical step. Rate constants are derived for redox chemistry and catalysis from EIS data of low-thickness catalyst films; at higher thicknesses, catalyst-internal charge transport limitations become increasingly relevant. Relations between electrochemically active surface area, double-layer capacitance, and redox (pseudo-)capacitance are discussed. These results can increase the power of EIS analyses and support knowledge-guided optimization of a broader class of OER catalyst materials.

description: Background: The policy of imposing restrictions on community activities during the Covid-19 pandemic is a challenge to the accessibility of health services. Therefore, we need the best solution for safe access to health services. Aims: This study aims to analyze telemedicine use in health facilities during the Covid-19 pandemic by looking at comparisons and similarities in use and reviewing the inhibiting and supporting factors for the success of telemedicine. Methods: The research method is a literature review that was obtained through the Scopus database and published in 2020- 2021 in English. Cleaning of articles was carried out with the inclusion and exclusion criteria so that seven articles were reviewed. Results: The lack of multidisciplinary use, healthcare practitioners' inability to connect with patients, under-integrated systems, and lack of technological knowledge and capacity all hinder telemedicine adoption. Positive patient feedback, a well-supported telemedicine service system, and partnerships with specialists all help make telemedicine more effective. Conclusion: During a pandemic, the use of telemedicine in healthcare settings is extremely beneficial for healthcare providers and patients during healthcare consultations, and there are supporting aspects such as WHO recognition and simplicity of operation. However, obstacles remain, such as a lack of specialized knowledge and multidisciplinary technology.

description: Female genitalia are conspicuously overlooked in comparison to their male counterparts, limiting our understanding of sexual reproduction across vertebrate lineages. This study is the first complete description of the clitoris (hemiclitores) in female snakes. We describe morphological variation in size and shape (n = 9 species, 4 families) that is potentially comparable to the male intromittent organs in squamate reptiles (hemipenes). Dissection, diffusible iodine contrast-enhanced micro-CT and histology revealed that, unlike lizard hemiclitores, the snake hemiclitores are non-eversible structures. The two individual hemiclitores are separated medially by connective tissue, forming a triangular structure that extends posteriorly. Histology of the hemiclitores in Australian death adders (Acanthophis antarcticus) showed erectile tissue and strands/bundles of nerves, but no spines (as is found in male hemipenes). These histological features suggest the snake hemiclitores have functional significance in mating and definitively show that the hemiclitores are not underdeveloped hemipenes or scent glands, which have been erroneously indicated in other studies. Our discovery supports that hemiclitores have been retained across squamates and provides preliminary evidence of differences in this structure among snake species, which can be used to further understand systematics, reproductive evolution and ecology across squamate reptiles.

description: This thesis explores the contemporary practice of the temazcal, a traditional Mexican sweat lodge ritual, within the context of neoliberal globalization. It examines how the temazcal functions as a cultural-spiritual practice that has been commodified to appeal to urban, middle-class consumers seeking alternative spiritual experiences. The research is based on fieldwork conducted in the Tepoztlán valley, Mexico, where the author participated in multiple temazcal sessions, both observing and engaging with the ritual. By analyzing the commodification of the temazcal, the present thesis highlights the tensions between the spiritual aspirations of the practice and its entanglement with consumerism, market forces, and the commercialization of indigenous traditions. Ultimately, this study contributes to broader discussions on alternative spirituality, the intersection of culture and neoliberalism, and the ways in which practices like the temazcal negotiate authenticity in a globalized world.

description: Over the last decade, rOpenSci has been a unique and impactful force in bringing rigor, integrity, reproducibility, openness, and diversity to scientific computing. We lead a set of interrelated activities around capacity building, community development, and research software development practices to transform science through open data, software & reproducibility. We will share examples of the metrics and tools we use in our main projects (Software Stats Peer Review, R-Universe, Champions Program, Multilingual Publishing, and Users and Maintainers Community) to register and understand their impact on four levels (individual, host institution/local community, rOpenSci, and the Open Science Community in general).

description: Illusions—visual fields that distort perception—can inform the understanding of visual perception and its evolution. An example of one such illusion, the Rotating Snakes illusion, causes the perception of motion in a series of static concentric circles. The current study investigated pet dogs’ and cats’ perception of the Rotating Snakes illusion in a community science paradigm. The results reveal that neither species spent significantly more time at the illusion than at either of the controls, failing to indicate susceptibility to the illusion. Specific behavioral data at each stimulus reveal that the most common behaviors of both species were Inactive and Stationary, while Locomotion and Pawing were the least common, supporting the finding that susceptibility may not be present. This study is the first to examine susceptibility to the Rotating Snakes illusion in dogs, as well as to directly compare the phenomenon between dogs and cats. We suggest future studies might consider exploring alternative methods in testing susceptibility to motion illusions in non-human animals.

description: In this article we will discuss the first Coronavirus (Covid-19) lockdown and its immediate aftermath on the lives of migrant sex workers living and working in France, drawing on original interviews gathered between May and July 2020. Since 2016 in France, sex workers have worked under the so-called Swedish model legal framework criminalising the demand of sexual services. This has meant that sex workers, both migrant and non-migrant, have had to find various strategies to continue working within a criminalised environment      infringing upon their rights and safety. Research in the French context has largely shown that the introduction of the Swedish model increased the financial precarity and impacted in significant, detrimental ways the physical and mental health of sex workers (Le Bail & Giametta 2018). In the context of the existing hardship to which migrant sex workers were exposed under this repressive regime in France, this article investigates if and how the law enforcement and emergency measures around the Covid-19 crisis aggravated their already precarious living conditions. Our analysis here demonstrates that both institutional racism (e.g., government policies and law enforcement targeting racialized migrants) and interpersonal stigmatisation (e.g., poor treatment and stereotyping by clients and civil society) must be combated to reduce the discrimination against migrant sex workers that is amplified in times of crisis.

description: Response assessment in the context of immunomodulatory treatments represents a major challenge for the medical imaging community and requires a multidisciplinary approach with involvement of oncologists, radiologists, and nuclear medicine specialists. There is evolving evidence that [18F]FDG PET/CT is a useful diagnostic modality for this purpose. The clinical indications for, and the principal aspects of its standardization in this context have been detailed in the recently published “Joint EANM/SNMMI/ANZSNM practice guidelines/procedure standards on recommended use of [18F]FDG PET/CT imaging during immunomodulatory treatments in patients with solid tumors version 1.0”. These recommendations arose from a fruitful collaboration between international nuclear medicine societies and experts in cancer treatment. In this perspective, the key elements of the initiative are reported, summarizing the core aspects of the guidelines for radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians. Beyond the previous guidelines, this perspective adds further commentary on how this technology can advance development of novel therapeutic approaches and guide management of individual patients.
Vluchtelingen in identiteitscrisis - interacties tussen vluchtelingenrecht en internationaal privaatrecht

description: Private international law strives for cross-border continuity in people’s identities, personal and family status. In this way, the recognition of a person’s legal identity is (age, civil status, name, gender,...) represents a crucial primary instrument for realizing entitlements. 

In a globalizing world, private international law increasingly interacts with refugee law e.g. the protection of unaccompanied refugee children is linked to proof of age, family reunification to proof of marriage or parentage. Since interactions between private international law and refugee law are insufficiently considered, refugees and their families suffer from identity crises as they are trapped in a serious legal limbo; e.g. spouse in Syria or minor in Ethiopia but not in Belgium. This research offers empirically grounded insights in the interactions between refugee law and private international law in Belgium by mapping the legal problems related to refugees' personal status in and beyond the asylum procedure.

description: Light cues vary along the axis of periodicity, intensity and spectrum and perception of light is dependent on the photoreceptive capacity encoded within the genome and the opsins expressed. A global approach was taken to analyze the photoreceptive capacity and the effect of differing light conditions on a developing teleost prior to first feeding. The transcriptomes of embryos and alevins of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to different light conditions were analyzed, including a developmental series and a circadian profile. The results showed that genes mediating nonvisual photoreception are present prior to hatching when the retina is poorly differentiated. The clock genes were expressed early, but the circadian profile showed that only two clock genes were significantly cycling before first feeding. Few genes were differentially expressed between day and night within a light condition; however, many genes were significantly different between light conditions, indicating that light environment has an impact on the transcriptome during early development. Comparing the transcriptome data from constant conditions to periodicity of white light or different colors revealed overrepresentation of genes related to photoreception, eye development, muscle contraction, degradation of metabolites and cell cycle among others, and in constant light, several clock genes were upregulated. In constant white light and periodicity of green light, genes associated with DNA replication, chromatin remodeling, cell division and DNA repair were downregulated. The study implies a direct influence of light conditions on the transcriptome profile at early developmental stages, by a complex photoreceptive system where few clock genes are cycling.
