description: © 2018 Daedalus Enterprises. BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used as a rescue therapy before and after lung transplantation, but little is known about functional recovery or complications after ECMO in this cohort. This study aimed to describe early physical function and leg complications in subjects who received ECMO before or after lung transplantation, and to compare functional outcomes to a matched cohort of subjects who did not require ECMO. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted over 2 years. Highest mobility level was assessed, in both the ECMO and non-ECMO groups, prior to ICU admission, at ICU discharge, and at hospital discharge, while 6-min walk distance was measured at hospital discharge and at 3 months. Strength was assessed at ICU discharge and at hospital discharge in the ECMO subjects only, and leg complications were recorded up until hospital discharge. RESULTS: 17 subjects (mean age 43 ± 13 y; 65% (11 of 17 subjects) female) required ECMO before or after lung transplant. Survival to hospital discharge was 82% (14 of 17 subjects). At ICU discharge, strength and mobility levels were poor, but both improved by hospital discharge (P

From et al. to add all: increasing visibility of lesser-known artists in existing collections

description: PAST: Generations of catalogers were instructed to follow the "rule of three". Born from the catalog card's limited real estate this rule applied to resources with more than three authors (or artists) resulting in only the first named individual appearing in the bibliographic record followed by "… [et al.]". The adoption of RDA reversed this instruction (at least in theory) but its legacy remains. For art libraries this translates to countless artists who participated in group exhibitions and whose names are missing from the record. Usually these are not well-established artists who also have monographs published about them but rather emerging artists, artists of color, LGBTQ+ artists, artists outside the established canon who at times would not otherwise appear in the database.

PRESENT: Begun as a remote work project during the COVID shutdown, Clark Art Institute library staff have continued systematically enhancing records for existing holdings by adding all artists names to group exhibition catalogs as content notes as well as authorized access points. Authority records are then created in the Library of Congress Name Authority File when needed and the enhanced bibliographic records are reuploaded to Worldcat.

FUTURE: This may be one case where more is better. Including more artist's names means more visibility, more access, more connections to researchers and scholars and eventually (hopefully) through linked data.

description: Background: The role of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LEAT) to augment primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remains controversial. Purpose: To determine whether the addition of LEAT to primary ACLR provides greater control of rotational laxity and improves clinical outcomes compared with ACLR alone and to assess the impact of early versus delayed ACLR. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Two reviewers independently searched 7 databases for randomized and nonrandomized clinical studies comparing ACLR plus LEAT versus ACLR alone. Animal, cadaveric, and biomechanical studies; revision or repair procedures; and studies using synthetic ligaments and multiligamentous-injured knees were excluded. Risk of bias was assessed with a modified Downs and Black checklist. The primary outcome was postoperative pivot shift. These data were pooled by use of a fixed-effects metaanalysis model. The studies were divided into delayed (>12 months) and early (≤12 months) reconstruction groups for metaanalysis. A best-evidence synthesis was performed on the remaining outcome measures. Results: Of 387 titles identified, 11 articles were included (5 of high quality). Meta-analysis of postoperative pivot shift in 3 studies of delayed primary ACLR showed a statistically significant difference for the pivot-shift test in favor of ACLR with LEAT (odds ratio [OR], 0.44; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.24-0.81; P =.008; I2 = 0). Meta-analysis of 5 studies of early primary ACLR found no statistically significant difference with the addition of LEAT (OR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.33-1.09; P =.10; I2 = 33%). Insufficient evidence was available to determine whether the addition of LEAT had any effect on clinical, objective, subjective, and functional outcomes. Conclusion: In primary ACLR, no evidence is available showing additional benefit of LEAT in reducing the postoperative pivot shift in early reconstructions (≤12months); however, LEAT may have a role in delayed ACLR. Strong evidence exists that a combined ACLR and LEAT reduces lateral femoral translation, but there is insufficient evidence to identify any benefit for other clinical outcomes.

description: The origins and genetic affinity of the aboriginal inhabitants of the Canary Islands, commonly known as Guanches, are poorly understood. Though radiocarbon dates on archaeological remains such as charcoal, seeds, and domestic animal bones suggest that people have inhabited the islands since the 5th century BCE [1–3], it remains unclear how many times, and by whom, the islands were first settled [4, 5]. Previously published ancient DNA analyses of uniparental genetic markers have shown that the Guanches carried common North African Y chromosome markers (E-M81, E-M78, and J-M267) and mitochondrial lineages such as U6b, in addition to common Eurasian haplogroups [6–8]. These results are in agreement with some linguistic, archaeological, and anthropological data indicating an origin from a North African Berber-like population [1, 4, 9]. However, to date there are no published Guanche autosomal genomes to help elucidate and directly test this hypothesis. To resolve this, we generated the first genome-wide sequence data and mitochondrial genomes from eleven archaeological Guanche individuals originating from Gran Canaria and Tenerife. Five of the individuals (directly radiocarbon dated to a time transect spanning the 7th–11th centuries CE) yielded sufficient autosomal genome coverage (0.21× to 3.93×) for population genomic analysis. Our results show that the Guanches were genetically similar over time and that they display the greatest genetic affinity to extant Northwest Africans, strongly supporting the hypothesis of a Berber-like origin. We also estimate that the Guanches have contributed 16%–31% autosomal ancestry to modern Canary Islanders, here represented by two individuals from Gran Canaria. Rodríguez-Varela et al. report the first genome-wide data from the aboriginals of the Canary Islands, the Guanches, confirming the long-held hypothesis that the Guanches originated from a North African Berber-like population and showing that modern inhabitants of Gran Canaria carry an estimated 16%–31% Guanche autosomal ancestry.

description: Special Needs Education (SNE) is a critical component of inclusive education systems worldwide that aims to provide equitable learning opportunities for students with disabilities and diverse learning needs. This paper explores the conceptual framework of SNE, its historical evolution, and the legal and ethical foundations that underpin its implementation. This study identifies the key challenges faced by educators, students, and policymakers, including inadequate resources, teacher preparedness, social stigma, and systemic barriers.

Furthermore, the paper examines evidence-based strategies for improving SNE, such as differentiated instruction, assistive technologies, individualized education plans (IEPs), and collaborative teaching models. The role of government policies, community engagement and teacher training in promoting inclusive environments is also analyzed. By synthesizing empirical research and case studies, this paper provides recommendations for enhancing SNE programs and advocating for a multidisciplinary approach that integrates psychological, pedagogical, and technological interventions. The findings emphasize the need for continued research, policy reform, and stakeholder collaboration to ensure that all learners, regardless of ability, receive a quality education that meets their unique needs.

description: Fire robots, a distinct category of robotic technology, serve as formidable substitutes for human firefighters in the midst of perilous fire emergencies marked by high temperatures, thick smoke, and oxygen depletion. These versatile automatons are capable of executing critical missions, including smoke ventilation and cooling, fire suppression, and reconnaissance and rescue operations. The deployment of intelligent fire robots in firefighting and rescue operations significantly enhances efficiency, concurrently safeguarding the well-being of human firefighters to the utmost extent. Among the pivotal components in the realm of fire robot research, flame recognition technology assumes a paramount role. The global landscape of flame recognition and detection technology exhibits a rich tapestry of in-depth exploration, encompassing traditional flame detectors and sensors, alongside innovative digital image recognition techniques underpinned by emerging paradigms like artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and neural networks. In comparison to the advanced state of international research in this domain, China's endeavors lag slightly behind. Evidently, the majority of flame detectors employed within domestic industries are imported products. Consequently, an in-depth exploration of indigenous flame recognition technology is imbued with practical significance, presenting an avenue for innovation and development

description: People face a vast range of different cognitive tasks in their lives. Classic problem-solving theories do not fully capture the impact of the task structure on sequential decision-making. Here, we argue that it is important to consider task features that determine the search space structure of a task as it presents itself to the problem solver because the search space determines which algorithms are appropriate to solve the problem optimally. Knowledge of these optimal algorithms provides a base for cognitive modelling of sequential decision-making. We propose a new task taxonomy by identifying ten features in four categories related to search space properties. We describe how these constrain the space of optimal algorithms. Furthermore, we categorise and compare several sequential decision-making tasks used in studies on human behaviour with our taxonomy and illustrate how the proposed task features can inform the creation of new tasks and computational modelling of behaviour.

description: Background: The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community has an increased risk of developing chronic illnesses including diabetes. Among people with diabetes, foot complications are common and make a significant contribution to the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. The aim of this review was to systematically evaluate the literature comparing the rates of diabetes related foot complications in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians to non-Indigenous Australians. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library; PUBMED and CINAHL were searched from inception until August 2016. Inclusion criteria were: published cross-sectional or longitudinal studies reporting the prevalence of diabetes related foot complications in both a cohort of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and a cohort of one other Australian population of any age with diabetes. Risk of bias was assessed using the STROBE tool. Results: Eleven studies including a total of 157,892 participants were included. Studies were set in Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, primarily in rural and remote areas. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians experienced substantially more diabetes related foot complications with the mean age up to 14 years younger than non-Indigenous Australians. Aboriginality was associated with increased risk of peripheral neuropathy, foot ulceration and amputation. In several studies, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians accounted for the vast majority of diabetes related foot complications (up to 91%) while comprising only a small proportion of the regional population. Reporting quality as assessed with the STROBE tool showed underreporting of: methods, sample description and potential sources of bias. There are no data available for some Australian states and for specific types of diabetes related foot complications. Conclusions: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians have a 3-6 fold increased likelihood of experiencing a diabetes related foot complication compared to non-Indigenous Australians. Evidence-based, culturally appropriate screening and intervention programs and improved access to effective health care services are required to prevent a widening of the gap in diabetes related foot complications between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous Australians.

description: We explore the first-order phase transition in the lattice Schwinger model in the presence of a topological $\theta$-term by means of the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE). Using two different fermion discretizations, Wilson and staggered fermions, we develop parametric ansatz circuits suitable for both discretizations, and compare their performance by simulating classically an ideal VQE optimization in the absence of noise. The states obtained by the classical simulation are then prepared on the IBM's superconducting quantum hardware. Applying state-of-the art error-mitigation methods, we show that the electric field density and particle number, observables which reveal the phase structure of the model, can be reliably obtained from the quantum hardware. To investigate the minimum system sizes required for a continuum extrapolation, we study the continuum limit using matrix product states, and compare our results to continuum mass perturbation theory. We demonstrate that taking the additive mass renormalization into account is vital for enhancing the precision that can be obtained with smaller system sizes. Furthermore, for the observables we investigate we observe universality, and both fermion discretizations produce the same continuum limit.

description: © 2017 The Author(s). Background: While Australia has high breastfeeding initiation, there is a sharp decline in the first weeks postpartum and this continues throughout the first year. Supporting breastfeeding In Local Communities (SILC) was a three-arm cluster randomised controlled trial to determine whether early home-based breastfeeding support by a maternal and child health nurse (SILC-MCHN), with or without access to a community-based breastfeeding drop-in centre, increased the proportion of infants receiving any breast milk at three, four and six months. The trial was conducted in ten Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Victoria, Australia. The primary aim of this paper is to describe the three drop-in centres established during the trial; and the profile of women who accessed them. The secondary aim is to explore the views and experiences of the drop-in centre staff, and the challenges faced in establishing and maintaining a breastfeeding drop-in centre in the community. Methods: Evaluation of the three LGAs with drop-in centres was multifaceted and included observational visits and field notes; data collected from attendance log books from each drop-in centre; a written survey and focus groups with maternal and child health (MCH) nurses who ran the drop-in centres; and semi-structured interviews with MCH coordinators of the participating LGAs. Results: The three LGAs developed and ran different models of breastfeeding drop-in centres. They reported challenges in finding convenient, accessible locations. Overall, attendance was lower than expected, with an average of only one attendee per session. Two global themes were identified regarding staff views: implementation challenges, encompassing finding accessible, available space, recruiting volunteers to provide peer support, and frustration when women did not attend; and the work of SILC-MCHNs, including themes of satisfying and rewarding work, juggling roles, and benefits to women, babies and the community. Conclusion: Providing community-based breastfeeding support was satisfying for the drop-in centre staff but proved difficult to implement, reflected by the lower than anticipated attendances at all of the drop-in centres. Interventions to increase breastfeeding in complex community settings require sufficient time to build partnerships with the existing services and the target population; to understand when and how to offer interventions for optimum benefit.

The objective of this study is to develop an effective numerical model within the framework of an isogeometric analysis (IGA) to investigate the geometrically nonlinear responses of functionally graded (FG) microplates subjected to static and dynamic loadings. The size effect is captured based on the modified strain gradient theory with three length scale parameters. The third-order shear deformation plate theory is adopted to represent the kinematics of plates, while the geometric nonlinearity is accounted based on the von Kármán assumption. Moreover, the variations of material phrases through the plate thickness follow the rule of mixture. By using Hamilton's principle, the governing equation of motion is derived and then discretized based on the IGA technique, which tailors the non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) basis functions as interpolation functions to fulfil the C2-continuity requirement. The nonlinear equations are solved by the Newmark's time integration scheme with Newton-Raphson iterative procedure. Various examples are also presented to study the influences of size effect, material variations, boundary conditions and shear deformation on the nonlinear behaviour of FG microplates.

description: © 2017 Sarker, Wang, Warren-Smith and Helbig. The initial control of viral infection in a host is dominated by a very well orchestrated early innate immune system; however, very little is known about the ability of a host to control viral infection outside of mammals. The reptiles offer an evolutionary bridge between the fish and mammals, with the crocodile having evolved from the archosauria clade that included the dinosaurs, and being the largest living reptile species. Using an RNA-seq approach, we have defined the dynamic changes of a passaged primary crocodile cell line to stimulation with both RNA and DNA viral mimics. Cells displayed a marked upregulation of many genes known to be involved in the mammalian response to viral infection, including viperin, Mx1, IRF7, IRF1, and RIG-I with approximately 10% of the genes being uncharacterized transcripts. Both pathway and genome analysis suggested that the crocodile may utilize the main known mammalian TLR and cytosolic antiviral RNA signaling pathways, with the pathways being responsible for sensing DNA viruses less clear. Viral mimic stimulation upregulated the type I interferon, IFN-Omega, with many known antiviral interferon-stimulated genes also being upregulated. This work demonstrates for the first time that reptiles show functional regulation of many known and unknown antiviral pathways and effector genes. An enhanced knowledge of these ancient antiviral pathways will not only add to our understanding of the host antiviral innate response in non-mammalian species, but is critical to fully comprehend the complexity of the mammalian innate immune response to viral infection.

The Richards equation, commonly used to model water flow in unsaturated soils, is highly nonlinear, thus making it very challenging to solve analytically for situations meaningful in practical applications. The inclusion of realistic forms of root-water uptake rates in this equation adds complications in deriving exact solutions. This study provides for the first time analytical solutions of the Richards equation with a sink term nonlinearly dependent on soil water content. These solutions are applied to irrigation furrows, using Cartesian coordinates, and irrigation from a circular plate, in cylindrical coordinates.

We consider a time differential model for dual-phase-lag thermoelastic dipolar material. For the heat flux with dual-phase-lag we introduce a time differential equation to describe the thermal effects, and this is coupled with elastic deformation. Some qualitative results on solutions of the mixed initial boundary value problem, associated with this model, are obtained under mild constitutive restrictions. We will deduce an identity of Lagrange type and will use a conservation law in order to prove the uniqueness of solution, whereas the result of continuous dependence of solution is established by using a Gronwall type inequality and a conservation law.

The entire population of 23 Postgraduate Masters Students was studied and the census method was used as the population size was considered limited and comfortable by the researcher.  The instrument for data collection was self- structure questionnaire with two sections: one section was used to elicit demographics data while the second section contain items used to answer the research questions. The instrument was structured on a four-point rating scale of Very High Extent (VHE) 4 points, High Extent (HE) 3 points, Moderate Extent (ME) 2 points, Low Extent (LE) 1 point. The instrument was validated by three Experts: two

Business Educators and a Psychometrician, all from the Faculty of Education in Rivers State University. The reliability of the instrument was established using Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) and a reliability index of 0.80 was obtained indicating that the instrument was reliable and suitable to be used for the study. Data collected was analyzed using mean to answer the research questions and standard deviation to determine the closeness of the responses from the mean, while t-test statistics was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Finding revealed that Office Management and Technology graduates from Rivers State University and Ignatius Ajuru University of Education do not differ significantly in their mean responses regarding the computer application packages possess for modern office needs.  Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that curriculum designers and planners should ensure that the necessary computer application packages are embedded in office management and technology curriculum such as Microsoft PowerPoint to enable office management and technology students possess requisite knowledge to create visually appealing slide shows for meetings, presentation and reports, enhancing communication and information dissemination.

description: © 2017 Australian Veterinary Association Objective: Characterisation of a complete genome sequence of an Australian strain of canid alphaherpesvirus 1 (CHV-1) and its phylogenetic relationship with other varicellovirus species. Methods: Standard pathology and PCR methods were used to initially detect herpesvirus in hepatic tissue from an infected 4-week-old Labrador Retriever puppy. The complete CHV-1 genome was sequenced using next-generation sequencing technology followed by de novo and reference assembly, and genome annotation. Results: The CHV-1 genome was 125 kbp in length and contained 74 predicted open reading frames encoding functional proteins, all of which have counterparts in other alphaherpesviruses. Phylogenetic analysis using the DNA polymerase gene revealed that the newly sequenced CHV-1 clustered with canid alphaherpesvirus isolated from the UK and shared a 99% overall nucleotide sequence similarity. Conclusion: This is the first complete genome of an Australian strain of CHV-1, which will contribute to our understanding of the genetics and evolution of herpesvirus.

description: © 2017, Springer-Verlag GmbH Austria, part of Springer Nature. This study aimed to investigate prospectively the contribution of maternal physical health and/or breastfeeding problems to maternal mood (depression, anxiety, fatigue, irritability, confusion, vigor) at 8-weeks postpartum. A prospective study was conducted. Participants were recruited antenatally from a public and a private maternity hospital in Melbourne, Australia. Nulliparous pregnant women (N = 229), ≥ 18 years of age, ≥ 36-week gestation, singleton pregnancy and with sufficient English were eligible. Data were collected by self-report questionnaire (pregnancy, weeks 1–4 postpartum) and telephone interview (week 8 postpartum). A high burden of physical problems was classified as ≥ 3 problems (caesarean/perineal pain; back pain; constipation; haemorrhoids; urinary and bowel incontinence) for ≥ 2 time points. A high burden of breastfeeding problems was having ≥ 2 problems (mastitis; nipple pain; frequent expressing; over- or under-supply of milk) for ≥ 2 time points. Multivariate linear regression was used to investigate the relationship between maternal mood, assessed using Profile of Mood States (8-week postpartum), and a high burden of breastfeeding and/or physical health problems. Forty-six women (20.1%) had a high burden of physical symptoms, 44 (19.2%) a high burden of breastfeeding problems only and 25 women (11.0%) had both. A high burden of breastfeeding problems alone (β = 10.6, p = 0.01) or with co-morbid physical problems (β = 15.35, p = 0.002) was significantly associated with poorer maternal mood at 8 weeks. Early, effective postnatal treatment of maternal health and breastfeeding problems could reduce women’s risk for poor mental health.

Background and Aims A comprehensive understanding of the rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) on the decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) requires an integration of many factors. It is unclear how N forminduced change in soil pH affects the RPE and SOC sequestration. Methods This study compared the change in the RPE under supply of NO3-N and NH4-N. The effect of the RPE on the mineralization of soil N and hence its availability to plant and microbes was also examined using a 15N-labelled N source. Key Results The supply of NH4-N decreased rhizosphere pH by 0.16-0.38 units, and resulted in a decreased or negative RPE. In contrast, NO3-N nutrition increased rhizosphere pH by 0.19-0.78 units, and led to a persistently positive RPE. The amounts of rhizosphere-primed C were positively correlated with rhizosphere pH. Rhizosphere pH affected the RPE mainly through influencing microbial biomass, activity and utilization of root exudates, and the availability of SOC to microbes. Furthermore, the amount of rhizosphere primed C correlated negatively with microbial biomass atom% 15N (R2 0.77-0.98, n = 12), suggesting that microbes in the rhizosphere acted as the immediate sink for N released from enhanced SOC decomposition via the RPE. Conclusion N form was an important factor affecting the magnitude and direction of the RPE via its effect on rhizosphere pH. Rhizosphere pH needs to be considered in SOC and RPE modelling.
