description: The purpose of this ethnographic study was to explore and describe the folk health belief system of a group of blacks within the social, political and economic context of the rural Virginia community in which they live. The term 'folk' is used here to refer to people's own understandings and ideas, or the emic perspective. Fieldwork was carried out in a county of about 10,000 residents, of whom one third were black. A purposive and convenience sample of adults was drawn from this population for intensive interviews. Informal interviewing was also carried out. Data were gathered through participant observation as well. Data show that there is a blending of spiritual, mental/emotional, and physical aspects of health in the folk belief system. Unity of mind, body and soul is a key theme underlying beliefs about health promotion, prevention of sickness, etiology of health problems, and restoration of health. Spiritual beliefs about health are the predominant ones. God, faith, prayer, sin, fate, the Bible, salvation, and afterlife are all shown to relate to health, sickness, and healing. The relative strength and influence of sacred and secular beliefs vary with individuals according to experience, family interaction, religious training and personal philosophy of life. Resources for health advice, for understanding of body concepts, and for therapeutic measures for sickness include: family, pastors, books, friends, the public media, and allopathic medicine. As it is believed that both general and specific factors affect health, people draw upon both in dealing with health needs. Since health is a multifaceted concept, health practices require a multifaceted approach. Elements from all parts of the ethnomedical system are combined, with people turning to spiritual, physical and psychosocial approaches and resources in resolving health matters. Varying and, at times, conflicting approaches may be used concurrently. This study has implications for nursing practice, education and research. The need for inclusion of cultural aspects in client care and the need for further research are discussed and explored.

description: The focus of this research was to investigate and define a range of body temperature values of an older adult population.  Recent awareness of the increased incidence of hypothermia in the elderly posed the question of whether the body temperatures of older adults are different from the standard values of younger adults.  Based on the theories of aging, this, study examined specific age related factors that could have an affect on thermoregulation.  This study was clinically oriented.  Data were gathered in the natural setting of a health screening center, rather than in an experimental laboratory.  Oral, axillary, forearm and hand skin temperatures were measured on 100 older adults, ages 60 to 88 years.  There was no significant difference in body temperatures between the 50 men and 50 women.  Nor was there any significant difference in body temperatures between five successive age group categories.  On the whole, mean body temperature values of this population were slightly lower than the standard values of young adults.  There was also a wide rage of body temperatures, which progressively increased from the core to the periphery of these subjects.  Results of this study were directed towards an awareness of body temperature values in older adults.  Health care providers were cautioned not to use a standard number as a norm and encourage to look at a range of normal values. Body temperature values should be individualized according to past temperature trends, circadian rhythm, state of health, use of medications and possible, age.  Awareness of age-related risk factors was described as a tool for the assessment and prediction of potential body temperature alteration.  Measures of preventive intervention were discussed, thus combining clinical practice with theoretical knowledge.

description: Aims. This work aims to reproduce the time before or after a merger event of merging galaxies from the IllustrisTNG cosmological simulation using machine learning.
 Methods. Images of merging galaxies were created in the u, g, r, and i bands from IllustrisTNG. The merger times were determined using the time difference between the last simulation snapshot where the merging galaxies were tracked as two galaxies and the first snapshot where the merging galaxies were tracked as a single galaxy. This time was then further refined using simple gravity simulations. These data were then used to train a residual network (ResNet50), a Swin Transformer (Swin), a convolutional neural network (CNN), and an autoencoder (using a single latent neuron) to reproduce the merger time. The full latent space of the autoencoder was also studied to see if it reproduces the merger time better than the other methods. This was done by reducing the latent space dimensions using Isomap, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), neighbourhood components analysis, sparse random projection, truncated singular value decomposition and uniform manifold approximation and projection.
 Results. The CNN is the best of all the neural networks. The performance of the autoencoder was close to the CNN, with Swin close behind the autoencoder. ResNet50 performed the worst. The LDA dimensionality reduction performed the best of the six methods used. The exploration of the full latent space produced worse results than the single latent neuron of the autoencoder. For the test data set, we found a median error of 190 Myr, comparable to the time separation between snapshots in IllustrisTNG. Galaxies more than $\approx$ 625 Myr before a merger have poorly recovered merger times, as well as galaxies more than $\approx$ 125 Myr after a merger event.

Sequencing of Exon 28 of von Willebrand Factor and Glycoprotein IB Genes to Identify Type 2B von Willebrand Disease and Platelet Type-Von Willebrand Disease

description: Type 2B von Willebrand disease (vWD) and platelet-type von Willebrand disease  (pt-vWD) are two rare inherited bleeding disorders that remain under-diagnosed and  incorrectly treated due to their shared clinical and laboratory features. Proper diagnosis of  vWD requires a careful patient and family history and a panel of vWD assays. Acquired  vWD (AvWD) may also complicate diagnosis of type 2 vWD, as it may present similar  laboratory findings. DNA analysis of von Willebrand factor (vWF) exon 28 and platelet  glycoprotein \ba(GPIba) gene can potentially aid in diagnosis when samples lack higher  molecular weight multimers. To incorporate molecular testing, DNA was extracted from  63 deidentified patients' plasma samples that closely resembled type 2B vWD/pt-vWD  by Western blot multimer analysis and from two positive plasma controls used for  identification of type 2A and type 2B vWD by vWF multimer analysis. DNA analyses  were performed on exon 28 of vWF and the GPIba gene. ABO blood typing was also  determined, as it is a genetic modifier of vWF.  The two positive plasma controls were identified as type 2A with the n.4517C>T  (p.Serl506Leu) mutation and as type 2B with the n.3916C>T (p.Argl306Trp) mutation.  From the 63 study plasma samples, none of the samples tested positively for 2B or ptvWD  mutations, two samples were type 1 vWD with n.3686T>G (p.Vall229Gly) and n.  4751A>G (p.Tyll584Cys), and two samples were found to be Type 2A vWD with n.4517C>T (p.Serl506Leu) and n.4789C>T (p.Argl597Trp) mutations. One specimen  analysis was inconclusive. Three new silent polymorphisms were identified. The low  mutation detection rate in this study highlights the importance of expanding the vWD  coagulation panel to include assays such as collagen-binding assay (vWF:CB), Ristocetin  Induced Platelet Aggregation (RIPA) and DNA analysis, as the routine coagulation  assays lack sensitivity and reproducibility. The RIPA assay is more specific for diagnosis  of type 2B and pt-vWD. Preanalytical sample handling is of concern in vWD diagnosis  because cold storage of whole blood induces the loss of large and intermediate vWF  multimers in healthy controls. AvWD laboratory findings are similar to those of vWD  type 2, and require careful evaluation and analysis of the patient's bleeding history to  exclude any role of vWD mutations. Due to the large size of the vWF gene and the  heterogeneity of vWD presentation, diagnosis of vWD is very complex and no single  assay or diagnosis approach is suitable for all patients.

The Witham Valley: a landscape with monasteries?

description: Church Archaeology, 13, 1-15
description: The material this article presents derives largely from a paper written for the publication of the proceedings of a conference held in summer 2006 in Lincoln, which reported, to a largely local audience, on the several strands of investigation and recording promoted under the umbrella of the Witham Valley Archaeological Research Committee, in the valley of the river Witham in central Lincolnshire (Rackham and Williams forthcoming). In its present form, however, this paper seeks to deliver a somewhat more general account of our work on the Witham Valley monasteries than that intended for those proceedings. We are taking the opportunity here to inform a wider, specialist audience of Church Archaeology about a lengthy stream of work relating to the valley's medieval monasteries. The intention, though, is not merely to provide a hand-list for what now amounts to a substantial body of archaeological work, including three new site surveys, but also to round up some of the over-arching themes that have emerged, as we have undertaken a variety of studies on these monasteries. More importantly still, we hope to signal a particular approach we have taken to these sites, as one phase in the long-term history of the valley, and thus to explain how we have sought to explore the concept of 'ritual landscapes' through assessment of the monastic sites and, indeed, to explore the idea of landscape itself (Everson and Stocker forthcoming, chapter 1). This article is a review of research in progress, then, and a signpost to a network of interlinked work, published or in preparation. Even where it uses previously unpublished field surveys, that is by way of example and illustration rather than as a full presentation of results.

description: The Church of Ireland's Board of First Fruits embarked on a large-scale church building programme in the early 19th century. The Board of First Fruits was terminated in 1834. The Board's pursuits coincided for a time with the building activities, begun in 1818, of the Church Building Commission for England. A study of some of the churches constructed with funding from both the Board and the Commission highlights similarities in the development of a preferred form and layout for the Anglican churches of both Ireland and England. The almost simultaneous adoption of this preferred design in both countries indicates a consistency of belief among the church building authorities of both countries as to how an Anglican place of worship should be arranged in the late 1820s.
The effect of phenytoin on the dispositon of disopyramide
Creators: name: Rando, Janice
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2013

description: The combining of two drugs may cause an interaction which either enhances or diminished the beneficial or adverse effects of either agent. An interaction between two antiarrhythmic drugs, disopyramide and phenytoin has been reported. In this interaction, phenytoin appears to decrease the therapeutic effect while enhancing the toxic effects of disopyramide. Disopyramide slows the conductions velocity, prolongs the effective refractory period of the action potential and decreases automaticity of normal and diseased fibers in the heart. These properties enable disopyramide to treat both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Phenytoin, although not approved by the FDA as an antiarrhythmic drug, is often combined with other agents such as disopyramide in the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias. The current study was a prospective controlled evaluation of the effects of phenytoin on the disposition of disopyramide in normal volunteers. The objective was to determine if an interaction existed.
The identification and characterization of B56, a new family of protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunits.

description: Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a major intracellular serine/threonine phosphatase that has been implicated in the regulation of the cell cycle, DNA replication, cell metabolism, and signal transduction.  PP2A exists as a heterotrimeric complex whose regulatory subunits determine the substrate specificity of the PP2A by directly affecting its activity and by targeting the enzyme to specific intracellular locations.  This dissertation describes the cloning and characterization of human B56, a novel family of PP2A regulatory subunits.  A family of five cDNAs, B56alpha-epsilon, coding for 70% identical proteins were isolated by two-hybrid interaction using the A subunit of PP2A as bait.  B56 co-immunoprecipitates with the A and C subunits of PP2A along with a okadaic acid inhibitable, heparin stimulated phosphatase activity.  In addition, B56 co-sediments in a glycerol gradient with the A and C subunits of PP2A as part of a 160 kDa complex.  The majority of B56 proteins are phophoproteins, the exception being B56gamma1.  Phosphoamino acid analysis indicates that B56 phosphorylation is on serine only.  Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated that B56 family members differentially target PP2A to different intracellular locations.  B56gamma1, B56gamma3, and B56delta all target PP2A to the nucleus, and B56alpha, B56beta, and B56epsilon target PP2a to the cytoplasm.  The B56 family members are expressed in a tissue specific manner, B56alpha and B56gamma mRNAs are highly expressed in muscle and heart, whereas B56beta and B56delta are highly expressed in brain.  A number of experiments have indicated that PP2A-B56 may have an inhibitory effect on cell growth.  First, overexpression of B56 in tissue culture cells blocked the establishment of stable cell lines.  Second, transfection of B56 expression constructs inhibited expression from growth related promoters fos and AP-1 in 3T3 cells.  Finally, B56beta and B56delta expression increased as neuroblastoma cells were forced to differentiate into neuron-like cells with retinoic acid.  The biological significance and specific substrates that PP2A-B56 effect remain to be elucidated.

description: Context. High-resolution spectroscopy has the potential to drive a better understanding of the atmospheric composition, physics, and dynamics of young exoplanets and brown dwarfs, bringing clear insights into the formation channel of individual objects. Aims. Using the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC; R = 35,000), we aim to characterize a young brown dwarf HD 984 B. By measuring its C/O and 12CO/13CO ratios, we expect to gain new knowledge about its origin by confirming the difference in the formation pathways between brown dwarfs and super-Jupiters. Methods. We analysed the KPIC high-resolution spectrum (2.29-2.49 μm) of HD 984 B using an atmospheric retrieval framework based on nested sampling and petitRADTRANS, using both clear and cloudy models. Results. Using our best-fit model, we find C/O = 0.50+0.01-0.01 (0.01 is the statistical error) for HD 984 B which agrees with that of its host star within 1σ (0.40+0.20-0.20). We also retrieve an isotopolog 12CO/13CO ratio of 98+20-25 in its atmosphere, which is similar to that of the Sun. In addition, HD 984 B has a substellar metallicity with [Fe/H] = -0.62+0.02-0.02. Finally, we find that most of the retrieved parameters are independent of our choice of retrieval model. Conclusions. From our measured C/O and 12CO/13CO, the favored formation mechanism of HD 984 B seems to be via gravitational collapse or disk instability and not core accretion, which is a favored formation mechanism for giant exoplanets with m < 13 MJup and semimajor axis between 10 and 100 au. However, with only a few brown dwarfs with a measured 12CO/13CO ratio, similar analyses using high-resolution spectroscopy will become essential in order to determine planet formation processes more precisely.

description: The results of a long-term survey of the occurrence of Rhineland lava querns and millstones in the fabric of Norfolk churches are presented here. The project was prompted by a map showing the distribution of this material in England, which gave Norfolk a meagre three dots, representing 'minor groups and individual finds': these were at Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Thetford, ie from major urban excavations. Not surprisingly the distribution of lava built into churches is very different, but is unexpectedly biased towards the east coast (Fig 1).

description: An experimental study was conducted to examine the incidence of cold feet during labor, and to ascertain if a nursing intervention, applying socks, would be beneficial to parturient patients.  Thirty subjects were alternately assigned to the control or experimental group.  Demographic and descriptive data were obtained by interview and chart review.  Foot temperatures were obtained by using a Digitec thermister thermometer and probes.  The first hypostasis stated that the application of socks would increase the foot temperature of women during the active phase of labor.  Experimental subjects had significantly greater changes in foot temperature during the study than did the control subjects.  It should be noted, however, that the experimental group has significantly lower baseline foot temperatures than did the control group.  Hypothesis 1 was accepted.  The second hypothesis stated that the application of socks would increase thermal comfort of women during the active phase of labor.  All experimental subjects questioned throughout labor stated that socks warmed their feed.  Hypothesis 1 was accepted.  The third hypothesis stated that the application of socks to women in the active phase of labor would significantly increase the speed of the active phase of labor.  Primigravida subjects in the experimental group had significantly greater rates of cervical dilatation in the active phase of labor than the control group primigravidas.  There was no significant difference in cervical dilatation rates between group multigravidas and experimental group multigravidas.  Hypothesis 3 was accepted due to the fact that primigravidas has a significant increase in dilitration rate.  The findings of the study suggest that multigravidas in the experimental group had a reduction in length of their labor.  The sample size of 30 subjects prohibits generalizations of the results of this study.  The trends of this study suggest that women who wear socks in labor have increased thermal comfort, and increase in foot temperature, and for primigravidas an increased rate if cervical dilitation  in the active phase of labor.

Acute dose tolerance and pharmacokinetic study of BWA78U and placebo in normal male volunteers
Creators: name: Taylor, Cyndie L.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2013

description: Despite the variety of antiepileptic medications currently marketed in the United States, approximately one-fifth of patients fail to experience adequate seizure control1 and others do so only at the expense of toxic side effects. Thus a need for new antiepileptic drugs with greater efficacy and less toxicity remains. BWA78U is a structurally unique antiepileptic compound developed in the Wellcome Research Laboratories. It is a purine structurally related to the methylxanthines and designated by the chemical name 9- [2-fluorobenzyl]-6-methylamino-9H-purine mono-hydrochloride. Pharmacological studies in animals have shown BWA78U to protects rats against maximal electroshock and 3-mercaptoproprionic acid-induced seizures and audiogenic seizures. When compared with known antiepileptic agents, this pattern of protection against experimentally-induced seizures would predict effectiveness in focal partial seizures, generalized seizure with focal origin and bilateral generalized seizures.

We found that the hinge clump sits in a tail, having a SFR of 3.4$M_{\odot}yr^{-1}$, which is comparable with a few other extreme cases, e.g., the star clusters in the Antennae galaxy and other reported hinge clumps in the literature. In fact, this clump represents ~15\% of total SFR of NGC6845A. Large-scale modeling of the observed velocity field of NGC6845A rules out the scenario on which this hinge clump was a satellite galaxy. Indeed, its kinematics is compatible with the galactic disk of NGC6845A. Its abundance, mean value of 0.4Z$_{\odot}$, is also consistent with the metallicity gradient of the galaxy. Our analysis, suggest that the hinge clump is formed by multiple stellar populations instead of a single burst, thus having a large range of ages. We found that central clump is encompassed by a ring-like structure, suggesting that the ring-like structure represents a second-generation of star formation. In addition, the analysis of the diagnostic diagram indicates that this central region can also be being ionized by shock from stellar and supernovae winds. Finally, the derived SFR density $Σ=9.7M_{\odot}yr^{-1}kpc^{-2}$ of the central clump, place it in starburst regime, where gas inflows should provide gas to maintain the star formation. This work shows a resolved example of an extreme localized starburst in a compact group of galaxies.

description: Scrayingham church, on the east side of the Derwent valley between York and Malton, has been dismissed by architectural historians as a largely Victorian building. It has not been previously recognised that the north wall of the nave, and lower part of its west end, are of pre-Conquest date and perhaps as early as the 8th or 9th century; there are striking parallels with early Northumbrian churches elsewhere in the North East. Part of a carved figure built into the vestry wall has been provisionally identified as of this period, and has affinities to high-quality Mercian sculpture (notably the Lichfield Angel). It seems possible that Scrayingham will prove to be an early monastic site, of considerable significance in the early Christian history of the area.

Decorative Anglo-Saxon wall fabrics: a fashion in stonework

description: Church Archaeology, 13, 41-51
description: Traces of external patterns produced by using rocks of different lithologies and colour, which are displayed on the faces of a number of Anglo-Saxon church walls, are identified and briefly detailed. In certain early church walls of ashlar, such as those at Escomb (Durham), patterns are determined by using the stones in different bedding orientations. These patterns, together with stone cut backs, the vertical bedding orientation of rocks set in quoins, pilasters and arch jambs and long accepted Anglo-Saxon features such as long-and-short quoins and Escomb-style jambs, distinguish a distinctive fashion in stone use. It is suggested that this stonework was intended to be observed, for no certain evidence of external render can be discovered. In order that the style may be distinguished beyond the domain of the Anglo-Saxons it is tentatively described as 'Patterned'.

description: The Cistercian abbey of Melrose was founded in 1136. It sustained damage during the English invasions of 1322, 1385, 1544 and 1545, and after the Reformation by stone robbers. The abbey is now in a ruinous state but enough of it survives to attest to the high quality of its architecture and sculptural works. Recent excavations in service trenches nearby revealed medieval architectural stones from the abbey, medieval and post-medieval walls and other features.

description: Treelines advance due to climate warming. The impacts of this vegetation shift on plant–soil nutrient cycling are still uncertain, yet highly relevant as nutrient availability stimulates tree growth. Here, we investigated nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in plant and soil pools along two tundra–forest transects on Kola Peninsula, Russia, with a documented elevation shift of birch-dominated treeline by 70 m during the last 50 years. Results show that although total N and P stocks in the soil–plant system did not change with elevation, their distribution was significantly altered. With the transition from high-elevation tundra to low-elevation forest, P stocks in stones decreased, possibly reflecting enhanced weathering. In contrast, N and P stocks in plant biomass approximately tripled and available P and N in the soil increased fivefold toward the forest. This was paralleled by decreasing carbon (C)-to-nutrient ratios in foliage and litter, smaller C:N:P ratios in microbial biomass, and lower enzymatic activities related to N and P acquisition in forest soils. An incubation experiment further demonstrated manifold higher N and P net mineralization rates in litter and soil in forest compared to tundra, likely due to smaller C:N:P ratios in decomposing organic matter. Overall, our results show that forest expansion increases the mobilization of available nutrients through enhanced weathering and positive plant–soil feedback, with nutrient-rich forest litter releasing greater amounts of N and P upon decomposition. While the low N and P availability in tundra may retard treeline advances, its improvement toward the forest likely promotes tree growth and forest development.

description: The Gaia Collaboration has recently reported the detection of a 33 M$_\odot$ black hole in a wide binary system located in the Solar neighbourhood. Here we explore the relationship between this black hole, known as Gaia BH3, and the nearby ED-2 halo stellar stream. We study the orbital characteristics of the Gaia BH3 binary and present measurements of the chemical abundances of ED-2 member stars derived from high-resolution spectra obtained with the VLT. We find that the Galactic orbit of the Gaia BH3 system and its metallicity are entirely consistent with being part of the ED-2 stream. The characteristics of the stream, particularly its negligible spread in metallicity and in other chemical elements as well as its single stellar population, suggest that it originated from a disrupted star cluster of low mass. Its age is comparable to that of the globular cluster M92 that has been estimated to be as old as the Universe. This is the first black hole unambiguously associated with a disrupted star cluster. We infer a plausible mass range for the cluster to be relatively narrow, between $2\times 10^3M_\odot$ and $4.2\times 10^4M_\odot$. This implies that the black hole could have formed directly from the collapse of a massive very-metal-poor star, but that the alternative scenario of binary interactions inside the cluster environment also deserves to be explored.

In unenvied greatness stands: the lordly tower-nave church of St Mary Bishophill Junior, York

description: The late 11th-century tower-nave church of St Mary Bishophill Junior stands within the city walls of York, adjacent to the important early monastery of Holy Trinity (formerly Christ Church). Its unusual architectural form and apparent location within a small enclosure indicate that it was a private, lordly chapel rather than a congregational church. This is supported by the break-up of the old monastery of Christ Church at the hands of secular power, and by the integration of St Mary Bishophill Junior into the regional landscape of Anglo-Saxon civil defence.

description: Although current scholarship has developed a convincing model for the structure and functioning of Middle Saxon estates, little is known of how elite lordship influenced the wider settlement landscape in this pre-Viking period. Archaeological investigation within currently occupied villages, however, is providing crucial evidence of settlement in areas located away from estate centres and their agricultural cores. This paper reviews two excavations that have identified Middle Saxon settlements within the environs of modern villages in Cambridgeshire. These stable and structured communities, which utilised a mixed farming economy, represent a vital contribution to our understanding of the early medieval countryside. It is argued that settlement planning was a common feature of pre-Viking rural settlements, probably first initiated by ecclesiastical communities. It appears that the move towards more stable settlement foci and a structured agricultural landscape was motivated by newly permanent monastic groups before the breakdown of large 'multiple' estates. These changes, it is asserted, laid the foundations of what were to eventually emerge as nucleated medieval villages.

description: Background: In 2001, the International Classification of Functioning and Disability (ICF) introduced participation as a main goal of rehabilitation processes. However, to date, a comprehensive concept of participation in the rehabilitative context is missing, particularly in German-speaking countries. We thus aimed to refine and extend the existing concepts of participation in this brief communication. Methods: In preceding studies, we conducted semi-structured interviews with adolescents who either had chronic diseases and/or physical disabilities or had no impairments and focus groups with parents and experts. Based on these diverse perspectives and findings, we refine the term participation. Results: Participation is a construct that is embedded in a social context and consists of objective (i.e., attendance) and subjective (i.e., satisfaction and involvement) dimensions. These dimensions are reflected in different domains and areas that are relevant to adolescents' lives. In addition, the subjective relevance of respective areas in life needs to be regarded as a weighing component when evaluating participation. Conclusion: Our results reflect international models on participation, refine the existing concept, and underline the multidimensional character of participation. These findings are urgently needed to develop appropriate instruments, for example, for assessing whether rehabilitative processes are effective regarding the goal of participation.
