description: As a green remediation technology, phytoremediation is becoming one of the most promising methods for treating petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) contaminated soil. Pot-culture experiments were conducted in this study to investigate phytoremediation potential of two representative Iridaceae species (Iris dichotoma Pall. and Iris lactea Pall.) in remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated saline-alkali soil from the Dagang Oilfield in Tianjin, China. The results showed that I. lactea was more endurable to extremely high concentration of PHCs (about 40,000 mg/kg), with a relatively high degradation rate of 20.68%. The degradation rate of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in soils contaminated with 10,000 and 20,000 mg/kg of PHCs was 30.79% and 19.36% by I. dichotoma, and 25.02% and 19.35% by I. lactea, respectively, improved by 10–60% higher than the unplanted controls. Presence of I. dichotoma and I. lactea had promoted degradation of PHCs fractions, among which saturates were more biodegradable than aromatics. Adaptive specialization within the bacterial community was observed. In conclusion, phytoremediation by I. dichotoma should be limited to soils contaminated with ≤ 20,000 mg/kg of PHCs, while I. lactea could be effectively applied to phytoremediation of contaminated soils by PHCs with at least 40,000 mg/kg.

description: Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with a hypersensitivity to potential threat. This hypersensitivity manifests through differential patterns of emotional information processing and has been demonstrated in behavioral and neurophysiological experimental paradigms. However, the majority of research has been focused on adult patients with PTSD. To examine possible differences in underlying neurophysiological patterns for adolescent patients with PTSD after childhood sexual and/or physical abuse (CSA/CPA), ERP correlates of emotional word processing in 38 healthy participants and 40 adolescent participants with PTSD after experiencing CSA/CPA were studied. The experimental paradigm consisted of a passive reading task with neutral, positive (e.g., paradise), physically threatening (e.g., torment), and socially threatening (i.e., swearing, e.g., son of a bitch) words. A modulation of P3 amplitudes by emotional valence was found, with positive words inducing less elevated amplitudes over both groups. Interestingly, in later processing, the PTSD group showed augmented early late positive potential (LPP) amplitudes for socially threatening stimuli, while there were no modulations within the healthy control group. Also, region‐specific emotional modulations for anterior and posterior electrode clusters were found. For the anterior LPP, highest activations have been found for positive words, while socially and physically threatening words led to strongest modulations in the posterior LPP cluster. There were no modulations by group or emotional valence at the P1 and EPN stage. The findings suggest an enhanced conscious processing of socially threatening words in adolescent patients with PTSD after CSA/CPA, pointing to the importance of a disjoined examination of threat words in emotional processing research.

description: Interactions of Isatin and its derivatives, Isatin-3-isonicotinylhydrazone (IINH) and Isatin-β-thiosemicarbazone (IBT), with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) have been investigated to delineate pharmaceutical-physicochemical properties using UV–Vis/fluorescence/circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, viscosity measurements, and multivariate chemometrics. IINH and IBT molecules intercalate between base pairs of DNA, hypochromism in UV absorptions, increase in the CD positive band, sharp increase in specific viscosity, and the displacement of the methylene blue and Neutral Red dye in complexes with ctDNA, by the IINH and IBT molecules, respectively. The observed intrinsic binding constants (Kb[IBT–ctDNA] = 1.03 × 105 and Kb[IINH–ctDNA] = 1.09 × 105 L mol−1) were roughly comparable to other intercalators. In contrast, Isatin binds with ctDNA via groove mode (Kb[Isatin–ctDNA] = 7.32 × 104 L mol−1) without any significant enhancement in ctDNA viscosity. The fluorescence quenching of Isatin by ctDNA was observed as static. CD spectra indicated that Isatin effectively absorbs into grooves of ctDNA, leading to transition from B to C form. Thermodynamic parameters like enthalpy changes (∆H S > 0) were calculated according to Van’t Hoff’s equation, indicating the spontaneous interactions. The common soft/hard chemometric methods were used not only to resolve pure concentration and spectral profiles of components using the acquired spectra but also to calculate Stern–Volmer quenching constants, binding stoichiometry, apparent binding constants (Ka), binding constants (Kb), and thermodynamic parameters. The Kb values for Isatin, IINH, and IBT were calculated as 9.18 × 103, 1.53 × 105, and 2.45 × 104 L mol−1, respectively. The results obtained from experimental-spectroscopic analyses showed acceptable agreement with chemometric outlines.

description: Three series of benzothiophene derivatives were designed and synthesized as cytotoxic agents. The compounds were subjected to in vitro antitumor screening at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Bethesda, MD. The results of the single dose screening indicated that only the benzothieno[3,2-b]pyran series 3a–f exhibited potent and broad spectrum cytotoxic activity and was subjected to five dose cytotoxic screening. The most active compound in this study was 2-amino-6-bromo-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-4H-[1]benzothieno[3,2-b]pyran-3-carbonitrile (3e) with MG-MID GI50, TGI, and LC50 values of 0.11, 7.94 and 42.66 μM, respectively. Compound 3e exhibited broad spectrum anticancer activity against a panel of 59 cell lines. To elucidate the underlying mechanism of compound 3e cytotoxic activity, we examined its effect on cell cycle progression and its ability to induce apoptosis using human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (HCT-116). The effect of compound 3e on the cell cycle progression indicated that exposure of HCT-116 cells to compound 3e for 24 and 48 h, induced a significant disruption in the cell cycle profile including time dependent decrease in cell population at G1 phase with concomitant increase in pre-G and G2/M cell population. Moreover, compound 3e induced time dependent increase in the percentage of early and late apoptotic and necrotic cell population. In conclusion, we were able to successfully design a new series of benzothieno[3,2-b]pyran derivatives with potent cytotoxic activity and their mechanism of cytotoxicity was examined.

description: The chemosystematic relationship of four Diplotaxis species; Diplotaxis acris, Diplotaxis erucoides, Diplotaxis harra and Diplotaxis muralis were surveyed from the flavonoids point of view. These species were found to produce 33 flavonoids (7 flavones and 26 flavonols), including 11 compounds were isolated in the present study from D. acris. Among them, seven flavonoids were identified for the first time; luteolin (4), kaempferol (8), kaempferol 3-O-β-glucopyranoside-7-O-α-rhamnopyranoside (13), quercetin 3-O-β-glucopyranoside (16), quercetin 7-O-β-glucopyranoside (20), isorhamnetin (22) and isorhamnetin 3-O-β-glucopyranoside-7-O-α-rhamnopyranoside (32). Their structures were recognized on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic techniques (1D & 2D NMR, UV, EI & ESI/MS). The isolated flavonoids may provide useful taxonomic characters at the infraspecific levels of classification where the flavonoid profile of D. acris and D. harra is similar and different from the other species.
title: Structural violence and maternal healthcare utilisation in sub-Saharan Africa: A Bayesian multilevel analysis
Creators: name: Simona, Simona Joseph
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Structural violence, maternal healthcare, gender relations, globalisation, models, Bayesian inference, sub-Saharan Africa.

description: Considerable advances have been made in medical sociology and other population health- related subject areas to understand structural sources of disparities in health outcomes. We know that structural factors are the ‘fundamental causes’ of disease and illness. However, few studies focusing on structural conditions have considered maternal healthcare especially in sub-Saharan Africa. There is a dearth of knowledge regarding the effects of wider structural factors on maternal healthcare utilisation. Specifically, it is not well-known as to which dimension of the social structure is strongly associated with maternal healthcare and what specific combinations of factors influence adequate use of maternal healthcare in sub- Saharan Africa. This study was conceived to fill this gap in literature. The study focuses on community and country-level inequalities in gender relations, human rights violations and globalisation as the three dimensions of structural violence that are consequential to maternal healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa. I also consider individual level maternal characteristics that are associated with maternal healthcare utilisation. The analysis pools data of 245,955 respondents from the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and several other international datasets. I apply separate three-level Bayesian multilevel models on women who have had births five years prior to the recent DHS, nested in 17,000 communities, which are nested in 35 sub-Saharan African countries. On each aspect of structural violence, I estimate four models predicting the odds of having four or more antenatal care visits, institutional delivery and postnatal care based on a set of individual, community and country-level variables. Overall, the results indicate that inequalities in gender relations and disrespect for human rights are negatively associated with adequate use of maternal healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa. The relationship between globalisation and maternal healthcare is conditional on the specific dimension of globalisation. In comparison with other dimensions of globalisation, social globalisation is the most significant predictor of adequate maternal healthcare. These results help to underscore the importance of contextual factors in understanding women’s utilisation of maternal healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa.

description: Objective: Fabry disease is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of α-galactosidase A. Effective enzyme replacement therapies are available that are administered intravenously. However, a new oral treatment is being developed as an alternative option for patients with amenable mutations. This study was designed to understand the value that people place on the different features of treatments for Fabry disease. Research design and methods: A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was designed to assess the importance of different aspects of treatments for Fabry disease. The attributes included overall survival, mode of administration, treatment related reactions, treatment related headaches and risk of antibody formation. Attributes were combined using a published orthogonal array into choice sets. A research panel was used to survey the UK general public. The mixed logit model was used to estimate strength of preference for the attributes and marginal rates of substitution (MRSs). Disutilities were estimated from the DCE data for changes in each attribute. Results: The sample (n = 506) was broadly representative of UK demographics. The logit model revealed that all attributes were significant predictors of choice. Participants were significantly more likely to choose a treatment which meant an increase in their life expectancy by 1 year (odds ratio = 1.574; 95% CI = 1.504–1.647) and significantly less likely to choose self-administered intravenous (IV) treatment compared to an every other day tablet (OR = 0.426 95% CI = 0.384–0.474). Estimated disutilities were −0.0543 (self-administered infusion), treatment related headaches 12 times a year (−0.0361) and infusion reactions six times a year (−0.0202). Conclusions: The survey revealed a significant preference for oral treatment compared with IV even in the context of a treatment that can extend overall survival. MRSs were used as a basis for estimating disutilities associated with changes in attribute levels which could be used to weight QALYs. It is possible that other important treatment attributes are missing from this research which may have provided further insights. It would also be useful to extend this research to include Fabry disease patients so their preferences can be assessed against the societal perspective.

description: Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important signaling molecule which plays significant roles in the pathogenesis of cancer. CO is produced by enzymatic degradation of heme in mammals. Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) catalyzes the breakdown of heme into CO, ferrous iron, and biliverdin. CO induces HO-1 and inhibits cell proliferation. Cancer cells exposed to several stress factors (hypoxia, reactive oxygen species, cis-platin, and oxidative stress), and HO-1 displays cytoprotective role against oxidative stress and inhibits apoptosis, metastases, angiogenesis, and cell proliferation processes. Therefore, metal containing CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) have been designed as an effective cancer treatment strategy. CORMs are responsible for releasing controlled amounts of CO to cells and tissues. Thus, we synthesized [Mn(CO)3(bpy)L]X manganese containing CORMs [bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, X = hexafluorophosphate (PF6), trifluoromethanesulfonate (OTf), L = imidazole, methylimidazole, benzimidazole, N-benzylbenzimidazole, N-(4-chlorobenzyl)benzimidazole] to release CO in human invasive ductal breast (MCF-7) cell line. In vitro experiments indicated that the compounds inhibited cell proliferation and exhibited cytotoxic effect on breast cancer cells. Moreover, side groups of the compounds enhanced the anticancer effects in MCF-7 cell line. These manganese containing CORMs gave promising results and may be used as a drug template for effective treatment of invasive ductal breast carcinoma.

description: New polymeric cadmium complexes, α-[CdLCl2]n (1), [CdL2Cl2]n (2) and β-[CdLCl2]n (3) (L = 4-amino-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole), were obtained as products of the reaction of CdCl2 with L. The synthetic procedures allowing isolation of pure 1–3 were optimized. The structures of 1–3 were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and the compounds were characterized by UV–Vis and IR spectroscopy. In these compounds, L is either μ-bridging (1) or terminal (2 and 3). The UV–Vis spectra of the complexes in the solid state resemble that of free L. However, coordination of L leads to a significant shift of emission in photoluminescence spectra from yellow (free L) to red (1–3).

description: Objective: To evaluate the knowledge and opinions of US obstetric providers who use noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) to understand current utilization and guide future best practices. Methods: A questionnaire was designed to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes of OBGYNs toward screening options for aneuploidy, with a focus on NIPT. Initial questions evaluated obstetrician demographics, practice type, and NIPT familiarity. Subsequent questions were designed to solicit current practices regarding aneuploidy screening as well as opinions, experiences, and implications of NIPT. Results: Survey respondents identified NIPT as clinically superior to traditional screening methods and indicated that they would like ACOG to formally recommend NIPT for any pregnant woman. Insurance coverage, and therefore cost, was noted as the biggest barrier, and over 81% of surveyed providers would utilize NIPT as a first-line screening test if patients’ insurance offered full coverage. The majority of providers who have implemented NIPT into clinical practice indicated improved patient care. While most providers demonstrated accurate understanding of the technology and its application, nearly 15% misunderstood NIPT as being a diagnostic test for fetal aneuploidy. Conclusion: The results of the survey suggest that there is a desire for changes to current practice guidelines and insurance coverage. Additionally, provider education remains paramount.

description: Objective: The aims of the current n200 study were to assess the structural relations between three classes of test variables (i.e. HEARING, COGNITION and aided speech-in-noise OUTCOMES) and to describe the theoretical implications of these relations for the Ease of Language Understanding (ELU) model. Study sample: Participants were 200 hard-of-hearing hearing-aid users, with a mean age of 60.8 years. Forty-three percent were females and the mean hearing threshold in the better ear was 37.4 dB HL. Design: LEVEL1 factor analyses extracted one factor per test and/or cognitive function based on a priori conceptualizations. The more abstract LEVEL 2 factor analyses were performed separately for the three classes of test variables. Results: The HEARING test variables resulted in two LEVEL 2 factors, which we labelled SENSITIVITY and TEMPORAL FINE STRUCTURE; the COGNITIVE variables in one COGNITION factor only, and OUTCOMES in two factors, NO CONTEXT and CONTEXT. COGNITION predicted the NO CONTEXT factor to a stronger extent than the CONTEXT outcome factor. TEMPORAL FINE STRUCTURE and SENSITIVITY were associated with COGNITION and all three contributed significantly and independently to especially the NO CONTEXT outcome scores (R2 = 0.40). Conclusions: All LEVEL 2 factors are important theoretically as well as for clinical assessment.

description: We describe development of a portable aerosol mobility spectrometer (PAMS) for size distribution measurement of submicrometer aerosol. The spectrometer is designed for use in personal or mobile aerosol characterization studies and measures approximately 22.5×22.5×15 cm and weighs about 4.5 kg including the battery. PAMS uses electrical mobility technique to measure number-weighted particle size distribution of aerosol in the 10–855 nm range. Aerosol particles are electrically charged using a dual-corona bipolar corona charger, followed by classification in a cylindrical miniature differential mobility analyzer. A condensation particle counter is used to detect and count particles. The mobility classifier was operated at an aerosol flow rate of 0.05 L/min, and at two different user-selectable sheath flows of 0.2 L/min (for wider size range 15–855 nm) and 0.4 L/min (for higher size resolution over the size range of 10.6–436 nm). The instrument was operated in voltage stepping mode to retrieve the size distribution in approximately 1–2 min. Sizing accuracy and resolution were probed and found to be within the 25% limit of NIOSH criterion for direct-reading instruments. Comparison of size distribution measurements from PAMS and other commercial mobility spectrometers showed good agreement. The instrument offers unique measurement capability for on-person or mobile size distribution measurement of ultrafine and nanoparticle aerosol.

description: This document describes the newly articulated National Professional Development Framework for all staff who teach in Irish higher education. The framework provides guidance for the professional development (PD) of individuals and gives direction to other stakeholders (e.g. institutions, higher education networks, educational/academic developers, policy makers and student body representatives) for planning, developing and engaging in professional development activities. This PD framework aims to: • Empower staff to create, discover and engage in meaningful personal and professional development in a variety of ways • Encourage staff to engage in peer dialogue and support in their professional development activities • Enhance and develop the pedagogy of individual disciplines for relevance and authenticity and enable learning from other disciplines • Assist staff to reflect on, plan and contribute to the evidence-based3 enhancement and transformation of their teaching and learning approaches • Contribute to the quality assurance and enhancement of the student learning experience The PD framework is flexible, inclusive and can be interpreted and adapted for: academic staff across disciplines; educational/learning technologists; educational/academic developers; research staff; library staff; support staff and students who teach others e.g., graduate teaching assistants and those who engage in peer assisted learning. The importance of the local context within which teaching takes place is also fully recognised. This framework is designed to be interpreted in a way that reflects the local priorities within which each individual operates. Although the focus is on individual staff, the framework does not preclude its use by teams or groups of staff for group-based professional development. The framework is underpinned by a number of identified values i.e. inclusivity, authenticity, scholarship, learner-centredness and collaboration (Appendix 1). These values act as a guide for individual staff, academic departments and institutions to recognise, inform, enhance and sustain professional development.

description: Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) operations are increasing in demand and complexity. Using multiple cooperative sUAS (i.e. a swarm) can be beneficial and is sometimes necessary to perform certain tasks (e.g., precision agriculture, mapping, surveillance) either independent or collaboratively. However, controlling the flight of multiple sUAS autonomously and in real-time in a challenging environment in terms of obstacles and navigation requires highly accurate absolute and relative position and velocity information for all platforms in the swarm. This information is also necessary to effectively and efficiently resolve possible collision encounters between the sUAS. In our swarm, each platform is equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sensor, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a baro-altimeter and a relative range sensor (range radio). When GNSS is available, its measurements are tightly integrated with IMU, baro-altimeter and range-radio measurements to obtain the platform’s absolute and relative position. When GNSS is not available due to external factors (e.g., obstructions, interference), the position and velocity estimators switch to an integrated solution based on IMU, baro and relative range meas-urements. This solution enables the system to maintain an accurate relative position estimate, and reduce the drift in the swarm’s absolute position estimate as is typical of an IMU-based system. Multiple multi-copter data collection platforms have been developed and equipped with GNSS, inertial sensors and range radios, which were developed at Ohio University. This paper outlines the underlying methodology, the platform hardware components (three multi-copters and one ground station) and analyzes and discusses the performance using both simulation and sUAS flight test data.
