description: Acne vulgaris is a common, chronic inflammatory skin disease manifested as inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions typically associated with Cutibacterium acnes. However, its pathogenesis is not fully understood nor is the complexity of the skin microbiome and how it contributes to the development of acne. Whilst acne is not a typical bacterial infection, antibiotics have been the mainstay of treatment for over 50 years. Now, with the development of multi-drug resistant organisms and the emergence of resistant C. acnes strains; the question is are antibiotics still an appropriate treatment method or could natural products provide a suitable alternative? Research into alternative treatments is a growing field due to the increase in resistant organisms, there is a multitude of research into natural products due to their antimicrobial potential and the multiple mechanisms of action. Melaleuca alternifolia is a key natural product of interest in the treatment of acne due to its documented use throughout history and its prevalence in over the counter treatments. Green Tea is a more recent natural product of interest due to its composition of polyphenols, which give rise to both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, research also suggests that a synergistic approach of natural products may be the way forward.

Year: 2022

description: Background Three-dimensional printing (3DP) has been investigated widely for applications in pharmaceutical sciences. Different 3DP techniques have been employed such as fused deposition modelling (FDM 3DP), powder bed 3DP, stereolithography 3DP (SLA 3DP), selective laser sintering (SLS 3DP), pates-extrusion 3DP and inkjet 3DP. Aim This article aims to explore the use of natural products as active ingredient or excipient. Methods Literature search was conduced for latest applications of 3DP for pharmaceutical dosage forms, and typical employed materials were identified. Results Polymeric materials form the main bulk of 3DP excipients such as polyvinyl alcohol or ploy lactic acid. Chemical stabilisers may be added to these polymers to increase their stability at high temperatures during hot melt extrusion for making filaments or printing. In addition, photoinitiators have been added such as diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide in SLA 3DP, or candurin gold sheen in SLS 3DP. Presence of lead has been detected in FDM £DP, which originated from the nozzle. Currently, natural products have been employed only in paste extrusion 3DP of pharmaceutical dosage forms. We have identified a protentional natural thermoplastic polymer that may be used in 3DP FDM. Conclusion Natural products may be employed in 3DP of pharmaceutical dosage forms to improve the safety profile of printed objects.

Stability of Feverfew and its Active Principle Parthenolide: An Elusive Antimigraine Herbal Medicine
Creators: name: Prieto-Garcia, Jose M
Publisher: name: Journal of Natural Products Discovery
Year: 2022

description: Background Feverfew is a traditional herbal remedy for the relief of arthritis, migraine, toothache, and menstrual difficulties. It is widely accepted that parthenolide, a sesquiterpene lactone, is its main active principle. However, the decrease of parthenolide in commercial preparations is a well-known process with no technical solution so far. Aims To review the evidence for the mechanism of the degradation of parthenolide and similar sesquiterpene lactones. Methods Systematic review. Results and Conclusion In conclusion, and without discarding any degradation of parthenolide into non-identifiable fragments, the fate of this compound in dry, powdered feverfew is to undergo a covalent binding to plant proteins resulting in a biologically inactive adduct - in accordance with the direct and indirect data found in the literature. This process seems to be virtually unstoppable, and temperature and light do not seem to be playing a significant role under normal storage conditions according to some authors. In the presence of a high level of humidity, parthenolide may undergo an acid-induced cyclisation giving rise to a guaianolide-type sesquiterpene lactone, a class of compound that is commonly found in Feverfew. Microbial degradations are not likely to play an important role if the formulation complies with Pharmacopoeial microbiological quality requirements. The experimental and clinical data in the literature do not report on any increase in the toxicity of stored feverfew.

description: Finding out the knowledge and current attitudes of people towards the use of fertilizers made from organic wastes and determining the main factors that may affect their acceptability in relation to organic production is critical to ensure the market uptake of plant products treated with biobased fertilisers produced with fish processing by-products. With this aim, an online consumer survey was done in the European countries represented in the H2020 SEA2LAND project: Spain, Italy, France, Estonia and Norway (n= 300 x 5). Southern countries appear as more prone to consume products treated with organic fertilizers obtained from fishery waste while northern ones seem less aware of and interested in organic production. the statement with which more people agree is that organic fertilizers are better for your health than artificial or synthetic fertilizers. The motivations towards the use of organic fertilisers appearing among the top four in all countries are common: the products are healthier for your health; they have lower environmental impact and are of better quality. However, the responses indicated that the ranking of the motivations differs between countries. On the other side, total consensus was found related to the barriers, where the main topics to cover to surpass them should be transparent communication, correct labelling, demonstrating that they do not affect product safety and taste and producing them at a competitive cost that does not increase the price of the products. As an overall conclusion, slightly different strategies should be considered when promoting BBF in different countries due to their different perceptions and expectations.

description: Background Propolis is a natural product manufactured by bees from balsamic materials collected from plants that surround the hive, undergoing subsequent modification by the enzymes of these insects. It has several functions in the hive, such as sealing cracks and antimicrobial action. Folk medicine worldwide has used this resin in their health practices, and modern research turns its eyes to natural materials to become sources of new molecules to treat the most diverse ailments. Aims This work collected information on studies that test the antioxidant activity of propolis, produced by Apis mellifera bees, using different antioxidant methods available. Methods The search for this review was carried out in the following databases: SciELO, Google Scholar, PubMed, MEDLINE, Catalog of Dissertations and Theses of CAPES, BVS, CRD, Embase, Science Direct, Scopus and Cochrane Library. Publications in Portuguese, English and Spanish in the last decade were included. Results The 173 articles chosen showed quantitative and qualitative data about the potential of this natural product in the area of interest. Propolis extracts reached amazing values in antioxidant tests; they were as active as isolated substances already recognized as standard patterns. Many studies have brought information about the antioxidant mechanisms of propolis, such as free radical scavenging, metal chelation, and electron donation. Conclusion This review brings scientific evidence, in vitro and in vivo, that supports the idea that propolis is a good candidate for producing new antioxidant pharmaceutical and food formulations in the future.

description: Background Leea indica (Burm. f.) Merr. (fam. Vitaceae), commonly known as ‘bandicoot berry’, is a Thai medicinal plant, and distributed widely in the far-east and south-east Asian countries, and in some parts of northern Australia. In Thailand, this plant has traditionally been used for the treatment of diarrhoea, pain, gastric ulcer, viral infections and some forms of cancers. Aims To review published findings on medicinal properties of L. indica and to critically appraise its therapeutic potential. Methods A comprehensive literature search was performed utilizing several databases, notably, Web of Science, PubMed and Google Scholar, and other relevant published materials. The keywords used in the search, individually as well as in combinations, were Leea indica, Vitaceae and traditional medicine. Results In vitro assays and in vivo animal studies displayed efficacy of the extracts and fractions of L. indica as an analgesic, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant and antiproliferative agent and indicated their therapeutic potential. Phytochemical studies revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenolics and terpenoids as major bioactive components in L. indica. Conclusion Preliminary bioactivity studies on L. indica provided some scientific basis for its traditional therapeutic applications. The presence of certain bioactive compounds in this plant could further support its therapeutic potential and traditional medicinal uses.

Natural Products Discovery: Caveats, Considerations, Collaboration, Creativy and Contemporary Technology
Creators: name: Cordell, Geoffrey
Publisher: name: Journal of Natural Products Discovery
Year: 2022

description: There exists an enormous global need for new, safe, and effective drugs for a broad range of chronic and acute diseases. Most of these exigencies will not be met by “big Pharma”, ever. Consequently, in many countries, for a healthier and more productive population this pharmaceutical “chasm” must be bridged through alternative discovery efforts. At a time when environmental consciousness is increasing, and oil and coal processing for solvents and chemicals will likely be diminished in the future, synthetic pharmaceuticals cannot be relied on to serve as that bridge for the long-term. Natural products have continued to be a steady source of pharmaceuticals in the past 30 years (Newman & Cragg, 2020). However, a more emphatic, structured, and sustainable return to nature, using the contemporary technologies now available, is by far the best option to address global needs (Daley et al., 2021). This brief letter offers some general thoughts on natural product drug discovery programs and their initiation, operation, and development. It is not an exhaustive assessment, neither are the issues raised fully discussed, thus only a few key references are cited. The intention is to offer a background framework for scientists interested in this vast area of natural product research as they consider conducting their programs and publishing in this new and exciting journal. Five general areas of research development are presented: Caveats, Considerations, Collaborations, Creativity, and Contemporary Technology.

Imitating a Tuned Vibration Absorber With an Euler-Lagrange Controller: Comparing Different Stability Proofs
Creators: name: Juchem, Jasper

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Vibrations in mechanical systems are often undesirable. They could lead to failure and/or disruption of proper operation of the system. Hence, mitigation of vibrations is indispensable. Two major classes can observed: passive and active vibration mitigation. The former does not rely on sensors and actuators and is for that reason assumed to be less complex, more reliable with regard to failure, and more intuitive to tune. The latter allows more design flexibility, can be adaptive to changes over time, and is more compact.
 In the class of active vibration absorption, a feedback loop containing a control strategy is used to connect the sensors with the actuators. Many complex, mathematical controllers already exist that have proven to be very effective to decrease vibrations in a system. However, interpretability of the controller parameters can be lacking and, thus, impede an intuitive tuning strategy, because of its abstract nature and the rapid increasing number of controller parameters. The flexibility of active control allows to imitate a passive tuned vibration absorber with extra design freedom: all types of nonlinearities and interconnections can be created. This could lead to a vibration control strategy that combines the advantages of passive and active vibration mitigation.
 The first step in designing an active nonlinear controller is to guarantee stability. Therefore, it is necessary to proof the ranges of the controller parameters to achieve an asymptotically stable system. Different methods to proof stability can be used and will lead to different limitations for the controller.
 In this work, the direct method of Lyapunov is used to prove stability based on an extended Lure type Lyapunov function and a straightforward energy based Lyapunov function. Both stability proofs will be compared with respect to the interconnection system/EL-controller they yield and the corresponding controller design freedom they offer.

Cold gas dynamics in high-z galaxies

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: High-resolution ALMA observations have opened a new window to study galaxy dynamics at z>1 using cold gas tracers, such as CO, [CI], and [CII] emission lines. In this talk, I will present in-depth studies of individual galaxies at z=1-5 with ALMA data at angular resolutions between 0.05"-0.5". In such galaxies, the cold gas forms dynamically-cold rotation-supported disks with high rotation-to-dispersion ratios, in contrast to the common picture of "turbulent" high-z disks from H-alpha data. In most cases, the galaxy rotation curve is flat and requires the presence of a central mass concentration (a stellar bulge) in addition to a pure exponential disk. Finally, I will present preliminary results from the TRICEPS project: a [CII] survey of 15 massive galaxies at z=4-5 with spatial resolutions of only 0.5-1.0 kpc. The TRICEPS data show that rotating gas disks are common in massive galaxies (Mstar~10^10-10^11 Msun) at z=4-5, living during the first 1.5 Gyrs of the Universe's lifetime. Overall, the ALMA data suggest that massive galaxies must have formed and evolved surprisingly fast, in analogy to recent independent results from JWST.

description: Objectives: To evaluate the outcome of elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) seen at an acute-care hospital, analyzing the importance of CAP severity, functional status, comorbidity, and frailty.

Design: Prospective observational study.

Setting: Emergency department and geriatric medical day hospital of a university teaching hospital.

Participants: Ninety-nine patients aged 65 and older seen for CAP over a 6-month recruitment period.

Measurements: Clinical data were used to calculate Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI), Barthel Index (BI), Charlson Comorbidity Index, and Hospital Admission Risk Profile (HARP). Patients were then assessed 15 days later to determine functional decline and 30 days and 18 months later for mortality and readmission. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze outcomes.

Results: Functional decline was observed in 23% of the 93 survivors. Within the 30-day period, case-fatality rate was 6% and readmission rate 11%; 18-month rates were 24% and 59%, respectively. Higher BI was a protective factor for 30-day and 18-month mortality (odds ratio (OR)=0.96, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.94-0.98 and OR=0.97, 95% CI=0.95-0.99, respectively; P<.01), and PSI was the only predictor for functional decline (OR=1.03, 95% CI=1.01-1.05; P=.01). Indices did not predict readmission. Analyses were repeated for the 74 inpatients and indicated similar results except for 18-month mortality, which HARP predicted (OR=1.73; 95% CI=1.16-2.57; P<.01).

Conclusion: Functional status was an independent predictor for short- and long-term mortality in hospitalized patients whereas CAP severity predicted functional decline. Severity indices for CAP should possibly thus be adjusted in the elderly population, taking functional status assessment into account.
title: Space debris or natural? Impacts on NASA's Long Duration Exposure Facility.
Creators: name: Deshpande, Sunil Prabhakar
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: The Long Duration Exposure Facility has provided the most complete in-situ study of the near Earth environment to date. This thesis details the spacecraft conception and development culminating in a 69 month excursion into low Earth orbit. The techniques required to analyse the retrieved data are discussed, and indeed, these techniques are applicable to any spacecraft surface or terrestrial experimental hypervelocity impact project. The results have shown that all faces of the LDEF have been impacted by both natural and anthropogenic space debris to some extent. The current models employed to determine the relative proportions of these populations on the LDEF are shown to be inadequate, although the assumptions used are quite sweeping. The modelling presented shows a definite need to use a more anisotropic distribution when discussing the natural environment that incorporates both meteor streams and comet encounters. The problems and concerns surrounding the present anthropogenic space debris population is discussed in detail concluding with the need for better Earth and space borne detection systems and understanding of orbital dynamics of small particles, presently undetectable. An average particle density for interplanetary particles of lgcnr3 is derived from a comparison of data from different experimental surfaces on the Space face of LDEF. The impact direction distributions of both natural and anthropogenic space debris is illustrated, including an enhanced space debris distribution, which accounts for some of the limits in the presently tracked data sets. These data sets are discussed in terms of generation, ownership and orbital distribution.

description: MmVLBI has revolutionised our view of black holes and have provided some of the most striking, high resolution images obtained by mmVLBI, like the first images of a supermassive black hole obtained by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration (EHTC). But beyond these two best studied targets, M87 and SgrA*, the EHTC has been exploring a variety of nearby AGN allowing to study different local environments and jet properties. In this talk I will present an overview of the AGN that are targeted with mmVLBI at 1.3mm and 3mm, highlighting some of the recent results that have been obtained. MmVLBI is a powerful tool not only for observations of the accreting material at tens of muas resolution, but will be critical - especially as more baselines become available around the globe - to study jet launching mechanisms and how these connect to the more extended jet material which is studied with cmVLBI at mas resolution.

description: The assessment of feed intake in stabled horses is a difficult task to accomplish. Faecal markers, namely n?alkanes, have been used successfully for the estimation of this important nutritional parameter. This usually involves the dosing of synthetic n-alkanes via different matrices, a laborious task that may also influence the animal normal foraging behaviour. An experiment was conducted to evaluate a relative simple methodology to quantify feed intake in horses, based on the provision of measured amounts of a concentrate supplement labelled with beeswax and the utilisation of n-alkanes as faecal markers. Four Lusitano horses were used in three consecutive experimental periods. Animals were fed on cereal straw and different proportions of a previously prepared beeswax-labelled concentrate supplement (BLCS; 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20, DM basis). Beeswax labelling was performed to provide a distinct n-alkane profile for the concentrate feed. Prior to feed intake calculations, proportions of labelled concentrate supplement in the diets were estimated using n-alkanes C25 to C33 by least-square optimisation procedures. Results showed that the beeswax labelling resulted in high n-alkane concentrations in the concentrate feed, especially for the odd-chain n-alkanes. Estimates of diet composition did not differ from the measured values, except for the diet with highest BLCS incorporation, with an underestimation of 10%. DM intake was accurately estimated by the ‘‘labelled supplement method” in all diets. However, for the lowest BLCS incorporation, DM intake was underestimated by 16% whereas for the higher levels of BLCS in the diet, measured and estimated DM intake values were almost identical with a slight overestimation of only 0.7 and 0.2% (10 and 20% of BLCS, respectively). Results indicate that both diet composition and feed intake can be accurately estimated in horses using the ‘‘labelled supplement method”, even when very low levels of the labelled concentrate supplement are included in the animals’ diet. This method eliminates the need for daily dosing with external synthetic markers, providing advantages in terms of minimising animal management and interference with their normal foraging behaviour.

Voici un aperçu des principaux concepts abordés :Définition des espaces de Hilbert : Un espace de Hilbert est un espace vectoriel muni d'un produit scalaire qui le rend complet, c'est-à-dire que toutes les suites convergentes dans l'espace convergent vers un élément de cet espace.Propriétés des espaces de Hilbert : Les espaces de Hilbert possèdent des propriétés importantes telles que la complétude, la séparation et la continuité par rapport au produit scalaire.Exemples d'espaces de Hilbert : Les espaces de Hilbert classiques incluent l'espace �2L2 des fonctions intégrables au carré, l'espace ℓ2ℓ2 des suites carré sommables, et les espaces de Sobolev.Orthogonalité et bases orthogonales : Les espaces de Hilbert permettent de définir des notions d'orthogonalité entre vecteurs et de bases orthogonales, qui sont cruciales pour développer des outils d'analyse harmonique.Projection et décomposition spectrale : Les espaces de Hilbert permettent de définir des opérateurs de projection et des décompositions spectrales, offrant ainsi des outils puissants pour l'analyse des opérateurs linéaires.Théorèmes fondamentaux : Les théorèmes de Riesz et de représentation de Riesz sont des résultats importants dans la théorie des espaces de Hilbert, établissant des correspondances entre les espaces de Hilbert et leurs espaces duals.Cette feuille de TD constitue une introduction essentielle aux concepts de base des espaces de Hilbert, jetant les bases nécessaires pour comprendre des sujets plus avancés en analyse harmonique et en théorie des opérateurs.

description: High performance networking is at the core of every industrial system, as more and more companies look inwards towards the digital transformation of their entire manufacturing environment. The driving factor for all these changes is Industry 4.0, there are many options for communication systems for the latest generations of hardware with one of the most promising technologies being private 5G networks. A smart automation use case will be implemented using private 5G as the communication backbone, the performance of this communication type will be compared to other communication types that were historically used within smart automation and manufacturing settings. Performance metrics will be compared to show typical performance that may be expected when deploying a private 5G communication network

description: We report a case of a 32-year-old male patient who sustained an isolated stab injury to the left chest wall. He was initially treated with emergency surgery for right ventricular free wall rupture, with an uneventful postoperative course. During follow-up, the patient complained of exercise intolerance and dyspnea on effort. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) demonstrated a previously undiagnosed severe tricuspid regurgitation due to flail of the anterior leaflet and a ruptured chorda. A redo operation was scheduled, and the valve was successfully repaired, with different techniques employed. This case highlights the importance of careful clinical evaluation of victims of chest penetrating trauma and how early diagnosis of hidden valvular lesions might increase the odds of valve repair. It also demonstrates the clover technique as a valuable technique in the correction of traumatic tricuspid regurgitation.

Liotrigona bouyssoui

description: Liotrigona bouyssoui (Vachal, 1903)
(Fig. 3, 4 c d)
 Melipona (Trigona) bouyssoui Vachal, 1903: 360. Lectotype D: Rio Mouny, 1898, leg. J. Bouyssou (MNHNP), désigné ici.
 = Trigona (Liotrigona) parvula Darchen, 1971 a: 403. Types: Côte d’Ivoire, Lamto, leg. R. J. Darchen Col. 14/11/62, Bruco, 26.II–2.III.1972. Eardley, 2005 (1 paratype D au BMNH). Syn. nov.
 REMARQUE: Quatre ouvrières étiquetées M. bouyssoui par Vachal au Muséum de Paris ont été examinées et l'une d'elles désignée comme lectotype (Fig. 3). Contrairement à ce qu'écrit EARDLEY (2005), cette espèce n'est pas une Hypotrigona mais bien une Liotrigona. En effet, Vachal mentionne dans sa description originale en latin que le scutum est “lucida”, ce qui signifie “brillant”. La petite taille correspond à Liotrigona parvula qui est par conséquent considéré ici comme un synonyme.
 DIAGNOSE: Pattes orangées et soies de la face d’apparence écailleuse (ramifiées lorsque vues au SCAN) (Fig. 4 d) comme chez Liotrigona bottegoi (Figs 4 a b). En diffère essentiellement par la taille plus petite (1,75-2 mm) (Fig. 3 a). On peut confirmer l’identification par la tête un peu plus étroite (Fig. 4 c), la face plus souvent déprimée entre les sockets antennaires, le scutum à ponctuation plus superficielle, plus éparse et un peu moins pubescent (Fig. 3 d), les pleures plus brillantes à ponctuation plus éparse.
 DISTRIBUTION: Sénégal, Libéria, Burkina-Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Togo, Cameroun, Gabon, R.D. Congo, Angola. EARDLEY (2005) mentionne aussi pour L. parvula: Zimbabwe, Botswana, Afrique du Sud, Namibie.

title: Essays on the economics of green innovation and climate policy
Creators: name: Zheng, Yang
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2023

description: This thesis consists of four chapters spanning climate policy and green innovation. The first chapter identifies the impacts of China’s regional emission trading scheme pilots on firm carbon emissions and other economic outcomes using a unique dataset of Chinese firm tax records. The results demonstrate evidence that China’s ETS reduces carbon emissions despite low carbon prices and infrequent trading. This chapter also identifies the channels through which firms respond to ETS by adjusting energy consumption and sources, employment, capital, and productivity. The second chapter assesses the impacts of ETS on low-carbon innovation of unregulated subsidiary firms affiliated with regulated firms. The findings demonstrate that ETS induces low-carbon innovation of unregulated subsidiaries and suggest policy spillovers of ETS through corporate ownership networks. Such policy spillovers are contingent on technological proximity between parent firms and their subsidiaries, top managers with R&D experience, and parent firms’ financial constraints. The third chapter investigates the relationship between firms’ green revenues and clean innovation. Using a global firm dataset disaggregating commercial activities based on a new green taxonomy, this chapter finds that firms’ green revenues are enhanced by their own clean innovation and clean innovation of other firms close in technological and product market spaces. Such results suggest both private and social economic benefits of clean innovation. The last chapter explores the role of foreign direct investment in green knowledge spillovers to Chinese domestic firms. Through text-mining business description and tracking patents of foreign-invested firms in China, this chapter develops new definitions of green FDI and identifies the impacts of knowledge stocks resulting from green FDI firms on green innovation of domestic firms. The findings show that knowledge stocks of green FDI firms in downstream industries drive domestic firms’ green patents and suggest knowledge spillovers from downstream green FDI.
Investigation of Adult Male White-tailed Deer Excursions Outside Their Home Range

description: - Although male and female Odocoileus virginianus (White-tailed Deer) exhibit high site fi delity throughout the year, individuals occasionally leave their home ranges on short excursions during the fall and winter months. Although motives for these extraneous movements are diffi cult to discern, excursions are likely the function of the breeding season, food sources, limited escape cover, and/or human disturbances. From 2003–2007, we examined GPS collar locations of 32 adult male White-tailed Deer at Chesapeake Farms, MD. Seasonal excursions (n = 37), defi ned as movements lasting a minimum of 6 hours and venturing at least 0.5 km from 95% kernel home-range contours, were examined relative to possible motives related to food resources, breeding, and hunting pressure. Sixty-three percent (n = 20) of adult males made at least one excursion outside their home range immediately before or during breeding season. Based on the seasonal timing of excursions, breeding-season-related motives were likely the driving force behind the majority of adult male White-tailed Deer excursions, whereas hunting pressure and food resources were not a probable cause.
