description: Herbal supplementation in livestock production has gained considerable attention as a natural and sustainable approach to improve animal health, productivity, and overall well-being. Traditional herbal knowledge, passed down through generations, forms the basis for herbal supplementation practices in livestock farming. These ethnoveterinary practices leverage the healing properties of various herbs, plants, and botanical extracts to address a range of health challenges faced by livestock, including heat stress, digestive disorders, immune system support, and more. One of the primary benefits of herbal supplementation is its potential to enhance the immune system of livestock. Numerous herbs possess immunomodulatory properties, which can aid in disease resistance and reduce the need for antibiotics and synthetic drugs. Additionally, herbal supplements can contribute to the mitigation of heat stress, a growing concern in the context of climate change. The use of herbal supplements in livestock nutrition is gaining momentum as a means to optimize feed efficiency, reduce feed-related disorders, and improve overall production outcomes. Furthermore, the emphasis on natural and sustainable farming practices aligns with consumer preferences for food products free from synthetic chemicals and residues. This abstract highlight the need for further research and exploration of herbal supplementation in livestock production.

description: Η παρούσα πτυχιακή εργασία ερευνά τα βιολογικά προϊόντα, την συμβολή τους στις καταναλωτικές συνήθειες σε αγορές τοπικές και του εξωτερικού καθώς και την πορεία της εξέλιξής τους στον αγροτικό και εμπορικό τομέα από το παρελθόν μέχρι σήμερα. Η εργασία χωρίζεται σε δύο σκέλη. Στο πρώτο σκέλος παρατίθεται το απαραίτητο γνωστικό υπόβαθρο για την κατανόηση των εννοιών. Ορίζεται η βιολογική καλλιέργεια, η οποία στηρίζει τις βάσεις της στο οικολογικό κίνημα καθώς επίσης και οι αρχές βιολογικής γεωργίας, οι θεσμοθετημένοι κανόνες και οι οργανισμοί πιστοποίησης. Οι κατηγορίες των συμβατικών και βιολογικών τροφίμων που μελετήθηκαν φαίνεται να εμφανίζουν διακυμάνσεις στην σύστασή τους. Πέρα από τα συνηθισμένα βιολογικά προϊόντα, στην Ελληνική αγορά καταγράφηκαν και καινοτόμα βιολογικά τρόφιμα για πιο εξειδικευμένο διαιτολόγιο. Διευκρινίζονται οι παράγοντες που στρέφουν το καταναλωτικό κοινό στην αγορά των βιολογικών προϊόντων και οι οποίοι σχετίζονται με δημογραφικά στοιχεία του ατόμου, με την προσωπικότητά του, την ψυχοσύνθεσή του, τις κοινωνικοπολιτικές του αντιλήψεις, την συνείδησή του προς το περιβάλλον και την οικονομική του ευελιξία. Ωστόσο, παρά τις μελέτες που διεξάγονται κυριαρχούν ακόμα λανθασμένες απόψεις από την μεριά των πολιτών. Τόσο η κατανάλωση όσο και η καλλιέργεια οργανικών τροφίμων έχουν δείξει ανοδικές τάσεις εώς τώρα, αρχικά στην Ευρώπη και ύστερα στην Ελλάδα, ενώ στο μέλλον πιστεύεται ότι εμπόδια που αναστέλλουν την επέκταση της βιολογικής αγοράς θα αντιμετωπιστούν επιτυχώς. Στο δεύτερο σκέλος αναλύονται τα αποτελέσματα που προσκομίσθηκαν από το ερωτηματολόγιο το οποίο αφορά την Ελληνική κατανάλωση βιολογικών τροφίμων και την στάση των πολιτών απέναντί τους. Γίνεται σύγκριση των αποτελεσμάτων μεταξύ του παρόντος ερωτηματολογίου και άλλων, τόσο από Ελληνική μελέτη όσο και από μελέτες ξένων χωρών. Τέλος, διατυπώνονται τα συμπεράσματα που προκύπτουν από την πτυχιακή εργασία και από τις βιβλιογραφικές πηγές.
Trimeric Autotransporter DsrA Is a Major Mediator of Fibrinogen Binding in Haemophilus ducreyi

description: ABSTRACT Haemophilus ducreyi is the etiologic agent of the sexually transmitted genital ulcer disease chancroid. In both natural and experimental chancroid, H. ducreyi colocalizes with fibrin at the base of the ulcer. Fibrin is obtained by cleavage of the serum glycoprotein fibrinogen (Fg) by thrombin to initiate formation of the blood clot. Fg binding proteins are critical virulence factors in medically important Gram-positive bacteria. H. ducreyi has previously been shown to bind Fg in an agglutination assay, and the H. ducreyi Fg binding protein FgbA was identified in ligand blotting with denatured proteins. To better characterize the interaction of H. ducreyi with Fg, we examined Fg binding to intact, viable H. ducreyi bacteria and identified a novel Fg binding protein. H. ducreyi bound unlabeled Fg in a dose-dependent manner, as measured by two different methods. In ligand blotting with total denatured cellular proteins, digoxigenin (DIG)-Fg bound only two H. ducreyi proteins, the trimeric autotransporter DsrA and the lectin DltA; however, only the isogenic dsrA mutant had significantly less cell-associated Fg than parental strains in Fg binding assays with intact bacteria. Furthermore, expression of DsrA, but not DltA or an empty vector, rendered the non-Fg-binding H. influenzae strain Rd capable of binding Fg. A 13-amino-acid sequence in the C-terminal section of the passenger domain of DsrA appears to be involved in Fg binding by H. ducreyi . Taken together, these data suggest that the trimeric autotransporter DsrA is a major determinant of Fg binding at the surface of H. ducreyi .
Uncovering the glycan-mediated host-pathogen interactions in cystic fibrosis

description: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a prevalent pathogen in cystic fibrosis (CF) lungs with elaborate defence mechanisms serving to counter the host immune response. This thesis hypothesises a previously unstudied defence mechanism involving a P. aeruginosa lectin (LecB) that proposedly acts to neutralise host microbicidal glycoproteins. Multi-pronged approaches involving methods in microbiology and biochemistry were employed to produce robust structural and functional data supporting the hypothesis by firstly showing the binding of LecB to the N-glycans of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and, importantly, that LecB fully neutralises the potent microbicidal activity of HNE against P. aeruginosa. In-silico 3D structure analyses indicated spatial compatibility and bivalent binding between two neighbouring carbohydrate binding domains (CBDs) of tetrameric LecB and two HNE N-glycans. Moreover, complete LecB sequence conservation from genotypically/phenotypically diverse clinical P. aeruginosa strains was identified suggesting essential roles of LecB. Excitingly, a LecB-mediated inhibition of the HNE enzyme activity easily disrupted with D-mannose was shown. Finally, advanced mass spectrometry supported the existence of a LecB-HNE complex. This thesis has generated novel data suggesting that P. aeruginosa LecB carry out other roles than acting as the glue in biofilms by proposing a completely new pathogen defence mechanism involving LecB-mediated neutralisation of host microbicidal glycoproteins.

description: Let $\sum_{β\in\nats^d} F_βx^β$ be a multivariate power series. For example $\sum F_βx^β$ could be a generating function for a combinatorial class. Assume that in a neighbourhood of the origin this series represents a nonentire function $F=G/H^p$ where $G$ and $H$ are holomorphic and $p$ is a positive integer. Given a direction $α\in\pnats^d$ for which the asymptotics are controlled by a smooth point of the singular variety $H = 0$, we compute the asymptotics of $F_{n α}$ as $n\to\infty$. We do this via multivariate singularity analysis and give an explicit formula for the full asymptotic expansion. This improves on earlier work of R. Pemantle and the second author and allows for more accurate numerical approximation, as demonstrated by our examples.

As illustrated, cells with more biological similarity were in the nearest nodes, meaning that upstream processes do not misrepresent valuable biological features. For example, the three types of astrocytes were the nearest neighbors in the dendrogram (rows 8,9, and 10). Expression of GFAP and S100B confirmed that these cells are astrocytes. As is presented, OBI1-AS1 is purely expressed in these three cell types.

description: We construct a data-driven model of flows in graphs that captures the essential elements of the movement of workers between jobs in the companies (firms) of entire economic systems such as countries. The model is based on the observation that certain job transitions between firms are often repeated over time, showing persistent behavior, and suggesting the construction of static graphs to act as the scaffolding for job mobility. Individuals in the job market (the workforce) are modelled by a discrete-time random walk on graphs, where each individual at a node can possess two states: employed or unemployed, and the rates of becoming unemployed and of finding a new job are node dependent parameters. We calculate the steady state solution of the model and compare it to extensive micro-datasets for Mexico and Finland, comprised of hundreds of thousands of firms and individuals. We find that our model possesses the correct behavior for the numbers of employed and unemployed individuals in these countries down to the level of individual firms. Our framework opens the door to a new approach to the analysis of labor mobility at high resolution, with the tantalizing potential for the development of full forecasting methods in the future.

description: ABSTRACT Neisseria gonorrhoeae causes gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection characterized by inflammation of the cervix or urethra. However, a significant subset of patients with N. gonorrhoeae remain asymptomatic, without evidence of localized inflammation. Inflammatory responses to N. gonorrhoeae are generated by host innate immune recognition of N. gonorrhoeae by several innate immune signaling pathways, including lipooligosaccharide (LOS) and other pathogen-derived molecules through activation of innate immune signaling systems, including toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the interleukin-1β (IL-1β) processing complex known as the inflammasome. The lipooligosaccharide of N. gonorrhoeae has a hexa-acylated lipid A. N. gonorrhoeae strains that carry an inactivated msbB (also known as lpxL1 ) gene produce a penta-acylated lipid A and exhibit reduced biofilm formation, survival in epithelial cells, and induction of epithelial cell inflammatory signaling. We now show that msbB -deficient N. gonorrhoeae induces less inflammatory signaling in human monocytic cell lines and murine macrophages than the parent organism. The penta-acylated LOS exhibits reduced toll-like receptor 4 signaling but does not affect N. gonorrhoeae -mediated activation of the inflammasome. We demonstrate that N. gonorrhoeae msbB is dispensable for initiating and maintaining infection in a murine model of gonorrhea. Interestingly, infection with msbB -deficient N. gonorrhoeae is associated with less localized inflammation. Combined, these data suggest that TLR4-mediated recognition of N. gonorrhoeae LOS plays an important role in the pathogenesis of symptomatic gonorrhea infection and that alterations in lipid A biosynthesis may play a role in determining symptomatic and asymptomatic infections.

description: The adaptive immune response to Francisella tularensis is dependent on the route of inoculation. Intradermal inoculation with the F. tularensis live vaccine strain (LVS) results in a robust Th1 response in the lungs, whereas intranasal inoculation produces fewer Th1 cells and instead many Th17 cells. Interestingly, bacterial loads in the lungs are similar early after inoculation by these two routes. We hypothesize that the adaptive immune response is influenced by local events in the lungs, such as the type of cells that are first infected with Francisella. Using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, we identified alveolar macrophages as the first cell type infected in the lungs of mice intranasally inoculated with F. novicida U112, LVS, or F. tularensis Schu S4. Following bacterial dissemination from the skin to the lung, interstitial macrophages or neutrophils are infected. Overall, we identified the early interactions between Francisella and the host following two different routes of inoculation.

description: We evaluated whether a simplified human microbiota consortium (SIHUMI) induces colitis in germfree (GF) 129S6/SvEv (129) and C57BL/6 (B6) interleukin-10-deficient (IL-10−/−) mice, determined mouse strain effects on colitis and the microbiota, examined the effects of inflammation on relative bacterial composition, and identified immunodominant bacterial species in “humanized” IL-10−/− mice. GF wild-type (WT) and IL-10−/− 129 and B6 mice were colonized with 7 human-derived inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related intestinal bacteria and maintained under gnotobiotic conditions. Quantification of bacteria in feces, ileal and colonic contents, and tissues was performed using 16S rRNA gene selective quantitative PCR. Colonic segments were scored histologically, and gamma interferon (IFN-γ), IL-12p40, and IL-17 levels were measured in supernatants of unstimulated colonic tissue explants and of mesenteric lymph node (MLN) cells stimulated by lysates of individual or aggregate bacterial strains. Relative bacterial species abundances changed over time and differed between 129 and B6 mice, WT and IL-10−/− mice, luminal and mucosal samples, and ileal and colonic or fecal samples. SIHUMI induced colitis in all IL-10−/− mice, with more aggressive colitis and MLN cell activation in 129 mice. Escherichia coli LF82 and Ruminococcus gnavus lysates induced dominant effector ex vivo MLN TH1 and TH17 responses, although the bacterial mucosal concentrations were low. In summary, this study shows that a simplified human bacterial consortium induces colitis in ex-GF 129 and B6 IL-10−/− mice. Relative concentrations of individual SIHUMI species are determined by host genotype, the presence of inflammation, and anatomical location. A subset of IBD-relevant human enteric bacterial species preferentially stimulates bacterial antigen-specific TH1 and TH17 immune responses in this model, independent of luminal and mucosal bacterial concentrations.

description: Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), a functionally distinct subset of resident intestinal E. coli associated with Crohn's disease, is characterized by enhanced epithelial adhesion and invasion, survival within macrophages, and biofilm formation. Environmental factors, such as iron, modulate E. coli production of extracellular structures, which in turn influence the formation of multicellular communities, such as biofilms, and bacterial interactions with host cells. However, the physiological and functional responses of AIEC to variable iron availability have not been thoroughly investigated. We therefore characterized the impact of iron on the physiology of AIEC strain NC101 and subsequent interactions with macrophages. Iron promoted the cellulose-dependent aggregation of NC101. Bacterial cells recovered from the aggregates were more susceptible to phagocytosis than planktonic cells, which corresponded with the decreased macrophage production of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-12 (IL-12) p40. Prevention of aggregate formation through the disruption of cellulose production reduced the phagocytosis of iron-exposed NC101. In contrast, under iron-limiting conditions, where NC101 aggregation is not induced, the disruption of cellulose production enhanced NC101 phagocytosis and decreased macrophage secretion of IL-12 p40. Finally, abrogation of cellulose production reduced NC101 induction of colitis when NC101 was monoassociated in inflammation-prone Il10 −/− mice. Taken together, our results introduce cellulose as a novel physiological factor that impacts host-microbe-environment interactions and alters the proinflammatory potential of AIEC.

description: In this paper, we introduce a proof system $\mathsf{NQGL}$ for a Kripke complete predicate extension of the logic $\mathbf{GL}$, that is, the logic of provability, which is defned by $\mathbf{K}$ and the Löb formula $\Box(\Box p\supset p)\supset\Box p$. $\mathsf{NQGL}$ is a modal extension of Gentzen's sequent calculus $\mathsf{LK}$. Although the propositional fragment of $\mathsf{NQGL}$ axiomatizes $\mathbf{GL}$, it does not have the Löb formula as its axiom. Instead, it has a non-compact rule, that is, a derivation rule with countably many premises. We show that $\mathsf{NQGL}$ enjoys cut admissibility and is complete with respect to the class of Kripke frames such that for each world, the supremum of the length of the paths from the world is finite.

description: Rhesus macaques were studied to directly address the potential for plasmid-deficient Chlamydia trachomatis to serve as a live attenuated vaccine in the genital tract. Five repeated cervical inoculations of rhesus macaques with wild-type serovar D strain D/UW-3/Cx or a plasmid-deficient derivative of this strain, CTD153, resulted in infections with similar kinetics and induced comparable levels of protective immunity. After all animals received five challenges with D/UW-3/Cx, levels of inflammation observed grossly and histologically were similar between the groups. Animals in both groups developed evidence of oviduct dilatation; however, reduced oviduct dilatation was observed for “controllers,” i.e., animals without detectable chlamydial DNA in the fimbriae at weeks 5 and 12. Grouping animals into “ascenders” and “controllers” revealed that elevated early T cell responses were associated with protection, whereas higher antibody responses were associated with ascension. Protected animals shared common major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alleles. Overall, genetic differences of individual animals, rather than the presence or absence of the chlamydial plasmid in the primary infecting strain, appeared to play a role in determining the outcome of infection.

description: The intriguing properties, especially Dirac physics in graphene, have inspired the pursuit of two-dimensional materials in honeycomb structure. Here we achieved a monolayer transition metal monochalcogenide AgTe on Ag(111) by tellurization of the substrate. High-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy, combined with low-energy electron diffraction, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations, demonstrates the planar honeycomb structure of AgTe. The first principle calculations further reveal that, protected by the in-plane mirror reflection symmetry, two Dirac node-line Fermions exist in the electronic structures of free-standing AgTe when spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is ignored. While in fact the SOC leads to the gap opening, and resulting in the emergence of the topologically nontrivial quantum spin Hall edge state. Importantly, our experiments evidence the chemical stability of the monolayer AgTe in ambient conditions. It is possible to study AgTe by more ex-situ measurements and even to apply it in novel electronic devices.

description: Bodies and Structures began as an attempt to do two things. One, to create a platform for spatial history that reflected the depth of scholarship emerging on the subject in the field of Japanese history and elsewhere. And two, to facilitate the collaborative scholarship that spatial history is particularly suited to - in fact, we argue, which it requires if it is to fulfill its methodological potential. Our thought was that by so doing, spatial history could reveal new questions, interpretations, and narratives about the past(s). The essay that follows elaborates the project's methodology, its interventions, and its contributions. While it is possible to use this site without reading the essay, we believe that your encounter with Bodies and Structures will be richer if you begin with an understanding of the structural and conceptual choices that we have made and a sense of the historiographical interventions that we aim to achieve. The essay, like the site itself, is a work in progress. We look forward to hearing your feedback.

description: The finite remainder function for planar, color-ordered, maximally helicity violating scattering processes in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory possesses a non-vanishing multi-Regge limit that depends on the choice of a Mandelstam region. We analyze the combined multi-Regge collinear limit in all Mandelstam regions through an analytic continuation of the Wilson loop OPE. At leading order, the former is determined by the gluon excitation of the Gubser-Klebanov-Polyakov string. We illustrate the general procedure at the example of the heptagon remainder function at two loops. In this case, the continuation of the leading order terms in the Wilson loop OPE suffices to determine the two-loop multi-Regge heptagon functions in all Mandelstam regions from their symbols. The expressions we obtain are fully consistent with recent results by Del Duca et al.

description: Η παρούσα πτυχιακή εξετάζει την αντικατάσταση των επεξεργασμένων με λιγότερο επεξεργασμένα τρόφιμα και την σύνδεση τους με τις μη μεταδιδόμενες ασθένειες με την βοήθεια της ταξινόμησης NOVA, όπως και την επίδραση της διατροφικής μπροστινής ετικέτας Nutri-Score στην επιλογή θρεπτικότερων τροφίμων. Αναλύονται οι κατηγορίες του συστήματος ταξινόμησης NOVA και οι επιπτώσεις των υπερ-επεξεργασμένων τροφίμων στην υγεία του ανθρώπου, μέσω των αποτελεσμάτων από έρευνες που έγιναν παγκοσμίως. Αναλύεται ο αλγόριθμος της διατροφικής ετικέτας μπροστινής όψης Nutri-Score ο οποίος χρησιμοποιεί ένα σύνολο θετικών και αρνητικών συστατικών για να αποδώσει το διατροφικό προφίλ του τροφίμου, βάσει μιας κλίμακας 5 χρωμάτων-γραμμάτων, η εφαρμογή της στις άλλες Ευρωπαϊκές χώρες και οι προβληματισμοί των Ελλήνων παραγωγών για τα τοπικά προϊόντα. Έρευνα που διεξήχθη μεταξύ 455 ερωτηθέντων ανέδειξε την πολύτιμη βοήθεια των διατροφικών ετικετών μπροστινής όψης, αφού το 60,4% των συμμετεχόντων απάντησε πως τις συμβουλεύεται πάντα την ώρα της αγοράς, το 36,3% μερικές φορές και από το σύνολο αυτών το 59,2% υποστήριξε πως αποτελούν απαραίτητο εργαλείο επιλογής τροφίμων. Επίσης το 53,4% δεν καταναλώνει προ-παρασκευασμένα τρόφιμα σε εβδομαδιαία βάση, ενώ το 53,8% καταναλώνει γλυκίσματα 1-2 φορές την εβδομάδα, παρά το γεγονός ότι το 97,8% γνωρίζει τις επιπτώσεις των επεξεργασμένων τροφίμων στην υγεία. Περισσότερες από 40 ανεξάρτητες επιστημονικές μελέτες έχουν αποδείξει πως το Nutri-Score συμβάλει στην επιλογή θρεπτικότερων επιλογών για το καλάθι του καταναλωτή, ενώ το σύστημα NOVA δεν έχει μελετηθεί ακόμα επαρκώς στους καταναλωτές. Τα δύο αυτά συστήματα αλληλοσυμπληρώνονται, εξετάζοντας διαφορετικές διαστάσεις της υγείας, με το Nutri-Score να προσδιορίζει την διατροφική ποιότητα των τροφίμων και το σύστημα NOVA να αναλύει την έννοια της επεξεργασίας. Παρόλα αυτά κρίνεται αναγκαία η περαιτέρω έρευνα για την εξακρίβωση της συμβολής τους στην ελληνική αγορά, στην επιλογή διατροφικά ποιοτικότερων τροφίμων, με σκοπό την μείωση του κινδύνου των μη μεταδοτικών ασθενειών και των θανάτων.

description: Η ανησυχία τoυ ανθρώπoυ για την διατρoφή του μπoρεί να παρατηρηθεί από αρχαιoτάτων χρόνων, όταν ο Σωκράτης περίπoυ το 422 π.χ. είχε αναφέρει τo γνωστό «Τρώγε για να ζεις και μη ζεις για να τρως». Έτσι με την πάρoδο των ετών και ξεκινώντας από τον Ιππoκράτη πoυ πρώτoς είχε μιλήσει για την κληρoνoμικότητα και την διατρoφή ως βασική παράμετρo για την καλή υγεία, οι μεταγενέστερoι επιστήμoνες κατάφεραν να εισχωρήσουν όλo και περισσότερo στο πεδίo αυτό ώστε να αντιληφθoύν καλύτερα το ανθρώπινo σώμα και την αλληλεπίδραση τoυ με τα διάφoρα συστατικά των τρoφών. Από τον κλάδo της ιατρικής πρoέκυψε μια παγιωμένη πρoσέγγιση ότι το ανθρώπινo σώμα απoτελείται από ένα συνδυασμό «καλών» & «κακών» γoνιδίων, μoναδικών για τον κάθε oργανισμό πoυ μπορεί να δημιουργήσoυν διάφoρες παθoλογίες κατά τη διάρκεια της ζωής τoυ. Επιπλέoν τα τελευταία χρόνια έχει επικρατήσει ευρύτερα ότι η σωστή διατρoφή μπορεί να συμβάλει ως αρωγός στην απoτρoπή εκδήλωσης ασθενειών. Aυτό εξετάζεται διαμέσoυ της διατρoφoγενωμικής και της διατρoφoγενετικής. Ο σκoπός της εργασίας είναι η μελέτη αυτών των δύo κλάδων της διατρoφoλoγίας, όπoυ μελετoύν τις διατρoφικές επιλoγές ενός oργανισμoύ σε συνδυασμό με το γενετικό απoτύπωμα τoυ, ενώ αποτελoύν επιστήμη τελευταίας γενιάς και εστιάζoυν στη μoναδικότητα του κάθε ατόμoυ, στα απoκλειστικά γενετικά χαρακτηριστικά τoυ, συσχετίζoντας τα με τις διατρoφικές συνήθειες, τον μεταβoλισμό του, τις ατoμικές πρoδιαθέσεις καθώς και το περιβάλλoν του.

Σημαντικό θεωρείται να τεθoύν ζητήματα βιoηθικής, συγκεκριμένα ηθικά κωλύματα από την εφαρμoγή της διατρoφoγενωμικής και εάν είναι σύμφωνες οι μεθoδoλογίες με τους ισχύoντες Κανoνισμoύς και το Διατρoφικό Νoμικό Πλαίσιo των κρατών.

description: Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Infertility is a major health concern nowadays in women. Due to lifestyle changes and hormonal factors it has been increased. There are various medical technologies which has increased the chance of fertility. But the psychological influences of infertility and its treatment are of huge impact on the fertility outcome.AIM: To explore the stress and coping among infertility women. METHODOLOGY: This was a descriptive cross sectional design method involving 85 samples of infertility women attending infertility clinic at government hospital Dindigul were selected using a convenient sampling technique. Fertility problem inventory scale and coping scale were used to collect data from the patients. RESULTS: Based on the stress score 85% of the participants reported having a moderate level of stress score, 20% had severe level of stress score whereas no one had mild stress. Domain wise score in fertility problem inventory majority of the participants (74.97%) had need for parenthood. The coping score among the participants based on the level of coping was 94% of them sometimes used coping and only 6% of the participants often deployed coping strategies. Regarding the domains scores in coping scale about 84.20% had Hope, and 87.73% were having Spousal relations. There is a not significant, positive, poor correlation between Stress score and Coping score which means coping decreases their stress scores also decreases poorly( r= 0.12 P=0.52) .CONCLUSION: Psychological concerns during infertility treatment are huge which should be minimised for a better fertility outcome. Long-term infertile people were able to survive by staying away from challenging settings and accepting the issues as they were. Various stress reduction measures enhances the individuals coping ability. Hence which in turn improve their quality of life and the fertility outcomes of women.

description: A classical result of Bondal-Orlov states that a standard flip in birational geometry gives rise to a fully faithful functor between derived categories of coherent sheaves. We complete their embedding into a semiorthogonal decomposition by describing the complement. As an application, we can lift the "quadratic Fano correspondence" (due to Galkin-Shinder) in the Grothendieck ring of varieties between a smooth cubic hypersurface, its Fano variety of lines, and its Hilbert square, to a semiorthogonal decomposition. We also show that the Hilbert square of a cubic hypersurface of dimension at least 3 is again a Fano variety, so in particular the Fano variety of lines on a cubic hypersurface is a Fano visitor. The most interesting case is that of a cubic fourfold, where this exhibits the first higher-dimensional hyperkähler variety as a Fano visitor.

description: The use of large arrays might be the solution to the capacity problems in wireless communications. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) grows linearly with the number of array elements $N$ when using Massive MIMO receivers and half-duplex relays. Moreover, intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) have recently attracted attention since these can relay signals to achieve an SNR that grows as $N^2$, which seems like a major benefit. In this paper, we use a deterministic propagation model for a planar array of arbitrary size, to demonstrate that the mentioned SNR behaviors, and associated power scaling laws, only apply in the far-field. They cannot be used to study the regime where $N\to\infty$. We derive an exact channel gain expression that captures three essential near-field behaviors and use it to revisit the power scaling laws. We derive new finite asymptotic SNR limits but also conclude that these are unlikely to be approached in practice. We further prove that an IRS-aided setup cannot achieve a higher SNR than an equal-sized Massive MIMO setup, despite its faster SNR growth. We quantify analytically how much larger the IRS must be to achieve the same SNR. Finally, we show that an optimized IRS does not behave as an "anomalous" mirror but can vastly outperform that benchmark.

description: The research areas in the field of UAVs have increased considerably during the last years, the research in this field is driven by the specific needs of each organization that conduct the research, There are two main research areas, the first is the operational and it is conducted by the governmental institutions and the universities, and the second is the technological and it is conducted mainly by the companies, This paper discusses the current technological research topics in the field of UAVs, focusing on the fuzzy-logic based methods which are employed in many control problems to increase the level of autonomy, the fuzzy-logic is considered as a promising hot subject which contains many active research topics and multiple potential tools for solving complex control problems to extend the UAV capabilities to perform different functions like Optimal path planning, Collision avoidance, Trajectory motion and path following autonomously without the need of the human pilot with the minimum human supervision, the paper illustrates the different levels, functions and challenges of autonomy and a comparative analysis is conducted to analyze four potential directions which are considered to be promising areas for fuzzy-logic based approaches. It also highlights the two main areas of AI research in the field of UAV autonomous flight, 1) the imitation of the human pilot and 2) the high-level applications like image evaluation, and how to tackle some of the problems in these areas with aid of fuzzy-logic based machine learning algorithms.

description: In this paper, the curvature structure of a (2+1)-dimensional black hole in the massive-charged-Born-Infeld gravity is investigated. The metric that we consider is characterized by four degrees of freedom which are the mass and electric charge of the black hole, the mass of the graviton field, and a cosmological constant. For the charged and neutral cases separately, we present various constraints among scalar polynomial curvature invariants which could invariantly characterize our desired spacetimes. Specially, an appropriate scalar polynomial curvature invariant and a Cartan curvature invariant which together could detect the black hole horizon would be explicitly constructed. Using algorithms related to the focusing properties of a bundle of light rays on the horizon which are accounted for by the Raychaudhuri equation, a procedure for isolating the black hole parameters, as the algebraic combinations involving the curvature invariants, would be presented. It will be shown that this technique could specially be applied for black holes with zero electric charge, contrary to the cases of solutions of lower-dimensional non-massive gravity. In addition, for the case of massive (2+1)-dimensional black hole, the irreducible mass, which quantifies the maximum amount of energy which could be extracted from a black hole would be derived. Therefore, we show that the Hawking temperatures of these black holes could be reduced to the pure curvature properties of the spacetimes. Finally, we comment on the relationship between our analysis and the novel roles it could play in numerical quark-gluon plasma simulations and other QCD models and also black hole information paradox where the holographic correspondence could be exploited.
