East African Vlei Rat
Otomys tropicalis
French: Otomys tropical / German: Ostafrika-Lamellenzahnratte / Spanish: Rata de laguna de Africa oriental
Other common names: Tropical Vlei Rat
Taxonomy. Otomys irroratus tropicalis Thomas, 1902,
west slope of Mt Kenya, 10,000 ft (= 3000 m), Kenya.
Otomys tropicalis previously was included in O. wrroratus and is clearly a composite of several unrelated species that await taxonomic revision. Monotypic.
Distribution. C & E Africa in Albertine Rift (DR Congo, Uganda, Rwanda,and Burundi), Imatong Mts (South Sudan), Mt Elgon (Uganda-Kenya), and Kenyan Rift (N & W Kenya); perhaps NE Tanzania (Msinga and lower slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro) where specimens may belong to this species.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 125-205 mm, tail 52-102 mm, ear 17-25 mm, hindfoot 26-34 mm; weight 81-133 g. The East African Vlei Rat is large and robust, with large blunt head, short tail, and shaggy fur. Fur is dark brown (raw umber) above, clear brown on flanks, and slaty gray below. Ears are medium-sized, well furred, and paler than body. Tail is short (c.46% of head-body length) and bicolored. Females have four pairs of nipples. Upper incisors have single groove, and lower incisors have deep lateral and shallow medial groove. M, has four laminae, and M* has seven or occasionally eight laminae.
Habitat. Montane and submontane habitats of dense moist grasslands, scrublands, degraded forest and forest clearings, and cultivated areas such as banana and coffee plantations at elevations of 840-2250 m. The East African Vlei Rat is mostly associated with the Albertine Rift, Mount Elgon, Kenyan Rift, and Imatong Mountains of South Sudan, but it has also been recorded at lower elevations (e.g. Kampala, Uganda and Garamba National Park in extreme north-east DR Congo).
Food and Feeding. East African Vlei Rats eat green grains, herbs, reed stems and shoots, bark, and occasionally roots, seeds, and berries. They cause extensive damage to forest plantations in DR Congo by ring-barking young saplings. Fragments of ants have been found in stomachs.
Breeding. Reproduction occurs year-round, with up to five litters per year. Litters have 1-2 young.
Activity patterns. The East African Vlei Rat is presumably diurnal or crepuscular.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. East African Vlei Rats can be abundant; densities were 16-40 ind/ha at one site in DR Congo.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List.

description: Robotic and Exoskeleton Assisted Gait Training (REAGT) has become the mainstream gait training module. Studies are investigating the psychosocial effects of REAGT mostly as secondary outcomes. Our systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the effects of REAGT in MS patients’ mental health and fatigue. We searched the electronic databases (Scopus, PubMed, Pedro, Cochrane Trials, Dare) for RCT studies fulfilling our inclusion criteria. A meta-analysis of available assessment tools was conducted calculating the summary mean differences in two different timepoints, before and after the intervention using random-effects models. The systematic search of the electronic databases identified 302 studies. Seven RCT studies were considered eligible for data extraction and meta-analysis, according to our eligibility criteria. We were able to obtain adequate data to proceed with a quantitative synthesis for QoL SF36–MC (Mental Component), QoL SF-36 mental and psychosocial subscales, Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54-Mental Health Composite (MSQoL-54-MHC), Patient’s Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Overall, REAGT seems to have a positive effect to Quality of Life, especially in MS patients’ perspective of General and Mental Health and a slight positive effect in depression as measured by PHQ-9.Implications for rehabilitationMultiple Sclerosis (MS) decreases physical and non-physical aspects of patients’ quality of life perspective.Rehabilitation strategy must take into consideration the non-physical effects of a training intervention.Robotic and Exoskeleton Gait Training has a positive effect in MS patients’ non-physical quality of life and a slight positive effect in depression.

description: Η σύγκρουση μεταξύ Ρωσίας-Ουκρανίας έχει επιπτώσεις στην προμήθεια της συνεχώς αυξανόμενης ζήτησης για ορυκτά καύσιμα στην Ευρώπη, η οποία έχει οδηγήσει σε μια άνευ προηγουμένου αύξηση των τιμών της ενέργειας. Η μεγάλη εξάρτηση της Ευρώπης από τις εισαγωγές αργού πετρελαίου και φυσικού αερίου από τη Ρωσία εξηγεί το πλήγμα που επικρατεί στις ενεργειακές τιμές, προσθέτοντας πίεση στις οικονομικές επιδόσεις των Ευρωπαϊκών ενεργειακών εταιρειών. Η εξάρτηση από τη Ρωσική ενέργεια παρουσιάζει μεγάλη ετερογένεια μεταξύ των κρατών μελών, καθώς το ενεργειακό μείγμα της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης περιλαμβάνει ένα ποικίλο χαρτοφυλάκιο ορυκτών καυσίμων, πυρηνικής ενέργειας και ανανεώσιμων πηγών ενέργειας. Οι περισσότερες Ευρωπαϊκές εταιρείες βασίζονται στα ορυκτά καύσιμα, αλλά συντελείται μια μετάβαση προς τις ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας, οι οποίες ωθούνται έμμεσα από τις Ευρωπαϊκές ενεργειακές πολιτικές που είναι σύμφωνες με τη συμφωνία του Παρισιού για μείωση των εκπομπών αερίων του θερμοκηπίου κατά τουλάχιστον 40% έως το 2030. Ως εκ τούτου, οι Ευρωπαϊκές ενεργειακές εταιρείες προτρέπονται να βελτιώσουν τις περιβαλλοντικές, κοινωνικές και διακυβερνητικές (ESG) επιδόσεις τους, καθώς υπάρχουν εθνικοί μηχανισμοί στήριξης που προωθούν δράσεις ενεργειακής απόδοσης. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, στόχος της παρούσας διατριβής είναι η αξιολόγηση των χρηματοοικονομικών επιδόσεων των εταιρειών παραγωγής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση σε σχέση με την ενεργειακή εξάρτηση των χωρών της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης.
description: The Russian-Ukraine conflict has implications on the supply of the continuously increasing demand for fossil fuels in Europe which has resulted to an unprecedented increase in energy prices. Europe’s heavy reliance on crude oil and gas imports from Russia explains the prevailing energy price shock, adding pressure on the financial performance of European energy companies. The dependence on Russian energy exhibits a large heterogeneity across member states as the European Union’s energy mix comprises a diverse portfolio of fossil fuels, nuclear power, and renewables. Most European companies rely on fossil fuels, but a transition is occurring towards renewable energy which is indirectly pushed by European energy policies that are in accordance with the Paris Agreement of reducing greenhouse gas emission by at least 40% by 2030. Hence European energy companies are prompt to improve their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance as there are national support mechanisms that promote energy efficiency actions. In this context, the objective of this thesis is to evaluate the financial performance of electricity production companies in the European Union in connection with the energy dependence of European Union’s countries.

description: To understand how the experience of Music Upper Limb Therapy – Integrated (MULT-I) interconnects with the experience of stroke. Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews and video-recorded MULT-I sessions from a larger mixed-methods study. Thirty adults with post-stroke hemiparesis completed pre-intervention interviews, of whom fifteen participated in MULT-I. Thirteen of the participants in MULT-I completed post-intervention interviews. The experience of stroke was characterized by five themes: (1) sudden loss of functional abilities, (2) disrupted participation, (3) desire for independence, (4) emotional distress and the need for support, and (5) difficulty negotiating changes in sense of self. The experience of MULT-I was characterized by three themes: (1) MULT-I activated movement and empowered personal choice, (2) MULT-I created a safe place to process emotional distress and take on challenges, and (3) MULT-I fostered a sense of belonging and a positive transformation in sense of self. These themes combined create a framework which illustrates the process by which MULT-I addressed each challenge described by survivors of stroke, facilitating a positive transformation in sense of self. MULT-I promotes physical, emotional, and social wellbeing following a stroke. This integrated approach supports a positive transformation in sense of self. These findings have implications for improving psychosocial well-being post stroke. The experience of stroke is characterized by disruptions in physical, emotional, and social well-beingSurvivors of stroke describe difficulty obtaining support for emotional distress and experience negative perceptions of their sense of selfMULT-I addresses functional needs post stroke through motivating physical movement and participation, while also supporting autonomy and providing psychosocial support that facilitates a positive transformation in sense of self The experience of stroke is characterized by disruptions in physical, emotional, and social well-being Survivors of stroke describe difficulty obtaining support for emotional distress and experience negative perceptions of their sense of self MULT-I addresses functional needs post stroke through motivating physical movement and participation, while also supporting autonomy and providing psychosocial support that facilitates a positive transformation in sense of self

COMMENTS
The genus Rhaphidostichum M.Fleisch. is reported first from New Caledonia. It is characterized by smooth leaf cells, ecostate and concave leaves, abruptly narrowed in piliform acumens, with inflated alar cells of Acroporium - type (Tan et al. 2011). Among the species present in South Asian and Malesian regions, R. piliferum is a robust plant, with branches 20-40 mm long, leaves erecto-patent to spreading both in dry and wet conditions, margins entire throughout. R. loriforme (Broth. & Geheeb) Broth. is distinguished mainly by margins serrulate in upper part including the acumen and a slender habit. Although the New Caledonian specimen (Fig. 6) exhibits smaller leaf size and relatively shorter acumen, we take it
as a small form of R. piliferum with whom it shares branches 3-4 mm broad with leaves, leaf margins entire, rarely minutely serrulate at leaf shoulders, shining yellowish-green colour. The specimen is sterile and was growing on rocks mixed with Ectropothecium sodale (Sull.) Mitt., Heteroscyphus deplanchei (Steph.) Schiffn., Zoopsis setulosa Leitg., Podomitrium marginatum (Steph.) Hürl. The new locality extends to the south the range of this species previously known from South Asia and Solomon Islands (Tan et al. 2011).

COMMENTS
The species is widely distributed in the tropics and it was described under many synonyms, the next records are in northeastern Queensland (Klazenga 2012). From New Caledonia,
there was described Stereophyllum neocaledonicum Broth. & Paris (Brotherus 1909), an insufficiently known species not included in recent revisions. Based on the protologue this species could also fall in the synonymy of S. radiculosum, but further evaluation of the type is necessary prior to do this with certainty.

What is this summary about?
This is a summary of a paper published in a medical journal that describes the results of a study called POETYK PSO-1, which looked at a new treatment called deucravacitinib for plaque psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis appears on the body as round or oval raised patches (called plaques) typically covered by scales. This can cause the skin to itch, crack or bleed, and the associated itching and pain can make it difficult to perform basic everyday tasks. Living with psoriasis can cause emotional distress. Treatments are available, but some do not always reduce the symptoms of psoriasis, some may need to be injected or taken multiple times a day, and some may have side effects. Researchers are looking for new treatments that are more effective, convenient to take, and have acceptable safety and tolerability.

What happened in the study?
Deucravacitinib is a once-daily pill taken by mouth (orally) that was studied as a treatment for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults in two large studies conducted globally, PSO-1 and PSO-2. The POETYK PSO-1 study compared deucravacitinib with placebo (an inactive pill designed to have no effect) and an approved psoriasis treatment called apremilast, which is a pill taken twice a day. These were tested in adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, which involved 10% or more of their body (equal to 10 or more handprints). The aim of the study was to compare the ability of deucravacitinib with placebo or apremilast to improve psoriasis for the people in the study, and to compare side effects that people had.

What do the results of the POETYK PSO-1 study show?
After 4 months of treatment, more people taking deucravacitinib had improvements in psoriasis plaques and skin appearance than those taking placebo or apremilast. The study also showed that people continued to see these improvements after taking deucravacitinib for up to 1 year. Side effects are events that happened during the study treatment phase that may or may not be caused by that treatment. Side effects for people taking deucravacitinib were generally mild and occurred in similar numbers overall to those in people taking placebo. The most common side effects in people taking deucravacitinib were inflammation or infection of the nasal (nose) passages and throat.

description: To cross-culturally adapt the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) into Italian and study its classic psychometric properties in subjects with shoulder pain (SP). The PSFS was translated into Italian and administered to 109 SP subjects. Acceptability (time to administer, floor and ceiling effects), reliability (internal consistency [Cronbach’s alpha], test-retest reliability [Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC)], and measurement error [Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), Minimal Detectable Change, (MDC)]), were assessed. Moreover, construct validity was investigated through a-priori hypothesis testing, comparing the PSFS with the Disability of the Shoulder, Arm and Hand (DASH) scale, 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Numeric Pain Rating scale (NPRS). The PSFS was successfully adapted into Italian, and its acceptability was satisfied. Internal consistency was high (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.925), and test-retest reliability was good (ICC = 0.866, 95% CI = 0.749–0.931). A SEM of 0.7 points and an MDC of 1.9 points were obtained. We observed moderate evidence for construct validity, with 4/6 correlations between other measures being respected. This study provided reliability and validity of the PSFS in a sample of Italian SP subjects. Future studies should assess the responsiveness of using the PSFS as an outcome measure to capture clinical changes after treatment. The Patient-Specific Functional Scale is a reliable, and easy-to-use patient-reported outcome measure.The Patient-Specific Functional Scale was cross-cultural validated in the Italian language.The Patient-Specific Functional Scale has excellent internal consistency, high reliability, low measurement error, and moderate construct validity in subjects with shoulder pain.The Patient-Specific Functional Scale can be used in clinical practice by Italian physiotherapists to assess subjects with shoulder pain.
