description: HDAC6 is a unique cytoplasmic histone deacetylase characterized by two deacetylase domains, and by a zinc-finger ubiquitin binding domain (ZnF-UBP) able to recognize ubiquitin (Ub). The latter has recently been demonstrated to be involved in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases and in mediating infection by the influenza A virus. Nowadays, understanding the dynamic and energetic features of HDAC6 ZnF-UBP-Ub recognition is considered as a crucial step for the conception of HDAC6 potential modulators. In this study, the atomic, solvent-related, and thermodynamic features behind HDAC6 ZnF-UBP-Ub recognition have been analyzed through molecular dynamics simulations. The behavior was then compared to the prototypical ZnF-UBP from ubiquitin-specific protease 5 (USP5) in order to spot relevant differences useful for selective drug design. Principal component analysis highlighted flapping motions of the L2A loop which were lowered down upon Ub binding in both systems. While polar and nonpolar interactions involving Ub G75 and G76 residues were also common features stabilizing both complexes, salt bridges showed a different pattern, more significant in HDAC6 ZnF-UBP-Ub, whose energetic contribution in USP5 ZnF-UBP-Ub was compensated by the presence of a more stable bridging water molecule. Whereas molecular mechanics/Poisson–Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) free energies of binding were comparable for both systems, in agreement with experiments, computational alanine scanning and free energy decomposition data revealed that HDAC6 E1141 and D1178 are potential hotspots for the design of selective HDAC6 modulators.

description: The crude extracts of tubers of Aconitum spicatum (Bruhl) Stapf were investigated for in vitro antileishmanial activity against Leishmania major. The dichloromethane extract at pH 2.5 showed antileishmanial activity with IC50 value of 27.10 ± 0.0 μg/mL. Chromatographic purification of the dichloromethane extract led to isolation of three C-19 norditerpenoid alkaloids indaconitine (1), chasmaconitine (2) and ludaconitine (3). Compounds 3 and 2 showed antileishmanial activity with IC50 = 36.10 ± 3.4 and 56.30 ± 2.1 μg/mL, respectively. Compound 1 was less effective (IC50 > 100 μg/mL). The cytotoxicity of compounds 1, 2 and 3 studied against MCF7, HeLa and PC3 cancer cell lines and 3T3 normal fibroblast cell line did not show cytotoxicity at 30 μM.

description: Excerpts from the report: At the beginning of 1964, farm operators and landlords owed $16.2 billion in loans not secured by farm real estate. Over 40 percent of this amount was owed to merchants, dealers, and other creditors who do not report to regulatory agencies the amount of the loans they hold. These debts totaled $6.7 billion on January 1, 1964, according to revised estimates--$2. 2 billion above the earlier estimate. These revised estimates, covering the period 1949-64, were based on benchmark estimates of farm debt for January 1, 1961. The benchmark estimates were prepared by the authors following the 1960 Sample Survey of Agriculture by the Bureau of the Census, and were included in an earlier report. The 1960 Sample Survey of Agriculture provided the first data ever available on a nationwide basis on the non-real-estate farm debt held by these nonreporting lenders. Through careful analysis of these data, in conjunction with census and agency data for the reporting lenders, we developed the benchmark estimates of farm debt and its components reported in ERS-167. As will be shown, the benchmark estimate for nonreporting creditors seemed to be in reasonable relationship to earlier estimates for the years 1940-57, but necessitated substantial revision of estimates for the years 1958-64.
title: Health Visitors experiences of MMR vaccination for children
Creators: name: Keenan, Alex
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: Background In 2012 there was a large measles outbreak in Liverpool. The MMR vaccine has had low uptake rates since 1998 and the historical low uptake rates may have contributed to the outbreak. Parental and GP attitudes towards MMR have been well documented. What have not been reported are the experiences of Health Visitors during childhood vaccination appointments. Health Visitors are the main point of contact with new parents and their perceptions are under explored. Aim The aim of the study was to investigate the experiences of Health Visitors during appointments that are arranged with parents to discuss and administer the MMR vaccination for children. Methods A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was used to explore the experiences of Health Visitors during appointments and discussions with parents in relation to vaccinations in general and the MMR specifically. A total of 10 Health Visitors were interviewed. Each interview was recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis. Findings There are 3 main findings reported. Firstly, the experiences and training of Health Visitors appears to have influenced their opinions of vaccinations. Secondly, the Health Visitors appear to categorise families on their caseloads according to ii subgroups. The perceived groups have a variety of needs that appear not to be met by the national one-size-fits-all approach to childhood vaccinations. The final finding is that there is a perception that there have been changes of risk perception since the recent measles outbreak and more families are choosing to have their children vaccinated. Conclusions If the perceptions of the Health Visitors are correct, the second finding leads us to conclude that the present national one-size fits all approach to childhood vaccinations is not appropriate for a rich and varied society. Through best practice and tweaking existing practices, MMR uptake can be increased.
Epigenetics: A Tool to Change the Fate

description: Epigenetics, which originated in the early 1940s, was introduced by the well-known developmental biologist Conrad Waddington. He discovered that the process of gene interactions in embryological development is intricate. Although the term has a long history, its importance has dramatically increased in recent years. Originating from Aristotelian philosophy, the term itself defines its core: 'Epi' signifying 'over' or 'above,' along with 'genetics' indicating the role of genes.

description: Three novel gallic monomer 7, dimer 10 and trimer 12 with conjugated cyanuric core were designed and synthesised by Schiff-base condensation mode in yields of 80–90%. Their structures were characterised by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and elemental analyses. Their mesomorphic behaviours were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarising optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The gallic monomer 7 has no mesomorphic property, but the dimer 10 and trimer 12 possess good mesomorphic properties. The trimer 12 with high symmetry exhibited the typical hexagonal columnar liquid crystal at room temperature. The temperature range of mesophase is as wide as 149°C (14–163°C). The results suggested that the more gallic units and symmetric structures are favourable for excellent mesomorphic properties.

description: In this work, six new compound derivatives from thiophene were synthesised. The three symmetrical compounds were synthesised containing two heterocyclic 1,2,3-triazole on each side of thiophene, 2,5-disubstituted and the three non-symmetrical compounds were synthesised containing alkyne groups as a spacer in replacing one of these heterocycles. The structural modifications were made by changing the number of alkoxy groups in order to understand the relation between structure and mesomorphic behaviour. Some of the compounds presented liquid crystalline properties, smectic and nematic mesophases. The non-symmetrical compounds allowed for a low emission in the blue region.

description: The height of a rational number p/q is defined by max(|p|,|q|) provided p/q is written in lowest terms. The height of a rational tuple (x_1,...,x_n) is defined as the maximum of n and the heights of the numbers x_1,...,x_n. Let h:\bigcup_{n=1}^\infty Q^n \to N\{0} denote the height function. We conjecture that \forall x_1,...,x_n \in Q \exists y_1,...,y_n \in Q (n=1 ==> h(y_1,...,y_n)=1) \wedge (n \geq 2 ==> h(y_1,...,y_n) \leq 2^(2^(n-2))) \wedge \forall i,j,k \in {1,...,n} ((x_i+1=x_k ==> y_i+1=y_k) \wedge (x_i \cdot x_j=x_k ==> y_i \cdot y_j=y_k)). We prove that the conjecture implies that there is an algorithm which decides whether or not a Diophantine equation has a rational solution.

description: Considering the condition on conservation of energy momentum tensor (EMT), we study late time cosmological solutions in the context of $f(R,T)=R+αT^{n}$ gravity (where $α$ and $n$ are constants) in a flat FLRW spacetime. The present model discusses the case of a barotropic perfect fluid as the matter content of the Universe, along with the case when dissipative effects are taken into account. Briefly, assuming a single perfect fluid we find that the mentioned model is not capable of presenting an observationally consistent picture of the late time accelerated expansion of the Universe; nevertheless, the model leads to admissible solutions when the bulk viscosity is included. In this regard, a consistent setting is found considering the Eckart, Truncated and Full Israel-Stewart theories which determine the behavior of bulk viscosity. In the presence of bulk viscosity, the behavior of the deceleration parameter (DP) shows that the underlying model can describe an acceptable evolution even if the isotropic pressure of matter content of the Universe is negligible.

description: In this study, a human evaluation is carried out on how hyperparameter settings impact the quality of Transformer-based Neural Machine Translation (NMT) for the low-resourced English--Irish pair. SentencePiece models using both Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) and unigram approaches were appraised. Variations in model architectures included modifying the number of layers, evaluating the optimal number of heads for attention and testing various regularisation techniques. The greatest performance improvement was recorded for a Transformer-optimized model with a 16k BPE subword model. Compared with a baseline Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model, a Transformer-optimized model demonstrated a BLEU score improvement of 7.8 points. When benchmarked against Google Translate, our translation engines demonstrated significant improvements. Furthermore, a quantitative fine-grained manual evaluation was conducted which compared the performance of machine translation systems. Using the Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) error taxonomy, a human evaluation of the error types generated by an RNN-based system and a Transformer-based system was explored. Our findings show the best-performing Transformer system significantly reduces both accuracy and fluency errors when compared with an RNN-based model.

description: adaptNMT streamlines all processes involved in the development and deployment of RNN and Transformer neural translation models. As an open-source application, it is designed for both technical and non-technical users who work in the field of machine translation. Built upon the widely-adopted OpenNMT ecosystem, the application is particularly useful for new entrants to the field since the setup of the development environment and creation of train, validation and test splits is greatly simplified. Graphing, embedded within the application, illustrates the progress of model training, and SentencePiece is used for creating subword segmentation models. Hyperparameter customization is facilitated through an intuitive user interface, and a single-click model development approach has been implemented. Models developed by adaptNMT can be evaluated using a range of metrics, and deployed as a translation service within the application. To support eco-friendly research in the NLP space, a green report also flags the power consumption and kgCO$_{2}$ emissions generated during model development. The application is freely available.

description: The aim of the paper is to provide a general, but in-depth, an overview of aspects of incompatibility and actual interest profiles of Islamic finance in relation to the legal system of the European Banking Union, identifying some prospects for positive future developments. It examines the relevant Islamic principles for banking and the differences from conventional European banks for regulation and supervision, some experiences and possible relationships. The modern communication between the Islamic banking scheme and the European (and international) one is certainly allowed by the activity of the IFSB regulator, especially about the adaptation to the Basel Committee standards and the related capital requirements, transparency criteria, common reference, considering the global application to operate in the international markets. The examination of the relationship with the European Banking Union allows the identification of future profiles of debate and research in Economics Law, considering the opportunity for regulatory adjustments and the interaction between EU and national law and the interesting ethical aims of the socially responsible Islamic finance.

description: There is an indication that zakat institutions are inefficient and lack transparency in terms of distributing and managing their funds. This leads to a lack of trust between Muzakee and zakat institutions; hence, they prefer to pay zakat to Mustahiq directly. This means that zakat institutions may be collecting far less in zakat funds than the maximum amount that is potentially available. Meanwhile, the invention of blockchain technology has disrupted the financial sector as it offers transparency in transactions, meaning intermediaries are no longer needed. The use of blockchain in zakat management is important for improving transparency in the distribution of zakat. The objective of this paper is to explore the determinant factors that influence trust in zakat institutions using blockchain technology as a mediating effect. The results of the literature review revealed that these factors are reputation, satisfaction with zakat distribution, service quality and disclosure practice. This study expects that trust in zakat institutions can be enhanced through the use of blockchain technology.

description: Advanced machine learning algorithms are increasingly utilized to provide data-based prediction and decision-making support in Industry 4.0. However, the prediction accuracy achieved by the existing models is insufficient to warrant practical implementation in real-world applications. This is because not all features present in real-world datasets possess a direct relevance to the predictive analysis being conducted. Consequently, the careful incorporation of select features has the potential to yield a substantial positive impact on the outcome. To address the research gap, this paper proposes a novel hybrid framework that combines the feature importance detector - local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) and the feature interaction detector - neural interaction detection (NID), to improve prediction accuracy. By applying the proposed framework, unnecessary features can be eliminated, and interactions are encoded to generate a more conducive dataset for predictive purposes. Subsequently, the proposed model is deployed to refine the prediction of electricity consumption in foundry processing. The experimental outcomes reveal an augmentation of up to 9.56% in the R2 score, and a diminution of up to 24.05% in the root mean square error.

description: The stable isotopic compositions of all major daily rain fall samples (n = 113) collected from Kozhikode station in Kerala, India, for the year 2010 representing the pre-monsoon, southwest and northeast monsoon seasons are examined. The isotopic variations δ18O, δ2H and d-excess in daily rainfall ranged from δ18O: −4.4 to 2 ‰, δ2H: −25.3 to 13.8 ‰, and d-excess: −2.4 to 15.3 ‰; δ18O: −9.7 to −0.6 ‰, δ2H: −61.7 to 5.3 ‰, and d-excess 5.8 to 17.4 ‰; δ18O −11.3 to −1.4 ‰, δ2H: −75.3 to 0.9 ‰, and d-excess: 8.8 to 21.3 ‰ during the pre-, southwest and northeast monsoon periods, respectively. Thus, daily rainfall events during two monsoon periods had a distinct range of isotopic variations. The daily rain events within the two monsoon seasons also exhibited periodic variations. The isotopic composition of rain events during pre-monsoon and a few low-intensity events during the southwest monsoon period had imprints of secondary evaporation. This study analysing the stable isotopic characteristics of individual rain events in southern India, which is influenced by dual monsoon rainfall, will aid in a better understanding of its mechanism.

description: Osteoarthritis is an increasingly important health problem for which the main treatment remains joint replacement. Therapy developments have been hampered by a lack of biomarkers that can reliably predict disease, while 2D radiographs interpreted by human observers are still the gold standard for clinical trial imaging assessment. We propose a 3D approach using computed tomography-a fast, readily available clinical technique-that can be applied in the assessment of osteoarthritis using a new quantitative 3D analysis technique called joint space mapping (JSM). We demonstrate the application of JSM at the hip in 263 healthy older adults from the AGES-Reykjavík cohort, examining relationships between 3D joint space width, 3D joint shape, and future joint replacement. Using JSM, statistical shape modelling, and statistical parametric mapping, we show an 18% improvement in prediction of joint replacement using 3D metrics combined with radiographic Kellgren & Lawrence grade (AUC 0.86) over the existing 2D FDA-approved gold standard of minimum 2D joint space width (AUC 0.73). We also show that assessment of joint asymmetry can reveal significant differences between individuals destined for joint replacement versus controls at regions of the joint that are not captured by radiographs. This technique is immediately implementable with standard imaging technologies.
Recent trend of deposits in Islamic banks

description: Bank deposits increased sharply in 2020, continuing in 2021, in countries with advanced economies and emerging countries alike. The pandemic caused savings to increase for precautionary reasons. At the same time, the lockdown compressed spending, but deposits are now a financial resource that could be used to boost the recovery of consumption and investments. There was an increase in deposits in Islamic countries, but this was less marked. The fall in GDP in 2020 in all of the Islamic countries considered, with the sole exception of Bangladesh (+5%), was met with an increase in deposits, but not such as to be thought of exceptional magnitude. An acceleration was recorded in Indonesia, Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia, with increases only moderately higher than in the previous year. Several drivers can explain this trend, some of which are attributable to Islamic principles. In assessing the role of Islamic finance and bank deposits, financial inclusion is also critical. Despite gradually increasing, the level of financial inclusion, which is high in countries with the highest income (the Gulf countries), shows a large margin for potential growth. Especially in the less rich Islamic countries, there exists a problem of mobilising resources and providing a custody function for the financial resources of households and businesses. The proliferation of fintech channels, primarily through mobile phones, can contribute significantly to financial inclusion, particularly among young people. Prospects are positive thanks to the confluence of some factors (such as the strong demand for both Sharia-compliant and ESG products).

description: Activated, procoagulant platelets shed phosphatidylserine (PS)-exposing extracellular vesicles (EVs) from their surface in a Ca2+- and calpain-dependent manner. These PS-exposing EVs are prothrombotic and proinflammatory and are found at elevated levels in many cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. How PS-exposing EVs are shed is not fully understood. A clearer understanding of this process may aid the development of drugs to selectively block their release. In this study we report that 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB) significantly inhibits the release of PS-exposing EVs from platelets stimulated with the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, or the pore-forming toxin, streptolysin-O. Two analogues of 2-APB, diphenylboronic anhydride (DPBA) and 3-(diphenylphosphino)-1-propylamine (DP3A), inhibited PS-exposing EV release with similar potency. Although 2-APB and DPBA weakly inhibited platelet PS exposure and calpain activity, this was not seen with DP3A despite inhibiting PS-exposing EV release. These data suggest that there is a further target of 2-APB, independent of cytosolic Ca2+ signalling, PS exposure and calpain activity, that is required for PS-exposing EV release. DP3A is likely to inhibit the same target, without these other effects. Identifying the target of 2-APB, DPBA and DP3A may provide a new way to inhibit PS-exposing EV release from activated platelets and inhibit their contribution to thrombosis and inflammation.

description: New technologies promote radical changes in how banking services are delivered. The field of Islamic finance is not exempt from radical changes and is gaining increasing attention from academics and practitioners. Although several scientific studies have been conducted on the impact of technologies on specific Islamic finance instruments, no research has examined bibliometric variables in this area. This study aims to cover this gap by conducting a bibliometric and open coding analysis on 170 sources of published studies on Islamic finance and technology. Our study detects the most influential authors, journals and countries of publication that currently prioritise research in this field. In addition, the thematic analysis reveals that among the niche themes are applications of technology to Takaful. Among the motor themes is the opportunity for technology to facilitate decision-making in Islamic banks. Finally, in terms of originality, this study highlights the field's current state by combining methodological approaches and providing valuable insights for future research. Moreover, it is also a starting point for practitioners to fully understand the characteristics and potential of technology in Islamic finance. Finally, the article provides researchers with a research agenda to guide future research ideas.

description: The advent of Multilingual Language Models (MLLMs) and Large Language Models has spawned innovation in many areas of natural language processing. Despite the exciting potential of this technology, its impact on developing high-quality Machine Translation (MT) outputs for low-resource languages remains relatively under-explored. Furthermore, an open-source application, dedicated to both fine-tuning MLLMs and managing the complete MT workflow for low-resources languages, remains unavailable. We aim to address these imbalances through the development of adaptMLLM, which streamlines all processes involved in the fine-tuning of MLLMs for MT. This open-source application is tailored for developers, translators, and users who are engaged in MT. An intuitive interface allows for easy customisation of hyperparameters, and the application offers a range of metrics for model evaluation and the capability to deploy models as a translation service directly within the application. As a multilingual tool, we used adaptMLLM to fine-tune models for two low-resource language pairs: English to Irish (EN$\leftrightarrow$GA) and English to Marathi (EN$\leftrightarrow$MR). Compared with baselines from the LoResMT2021 Shared Task, the adaptMLLM system demonstrated significant improvements. In the EN$\rightarrow$GA direction, an improvement of 5.2 BLEU points was observed and an increase of 40.5 BLEU points was recorded in the GA$\rightarrow$EN direction. Significant improvements in the translation performance of the EN$\leftrightarrow$MR pair were also observed notably in the MR$\rightarrow$EN direction with an increase of 21.3 BLEU points. Finally, a fine-grained human evaluation of the MLLM output on the EN$\rightarrow$GA pair was conducted using the Multidimensional Quality Metrics and Scalar Quality Metrics error taxonomies. The application and models are freely available.

description: BACKGROUND:There is a growing focus on the development of multi-factorial cancer risk prediction algorithms alongside tools that operationalise them for clinical use. BOADICEA is a breast and ovarian cancer risk prediction model incorporating genetic and other risk factors. A new user-friendly Web-based tool (CanRisk.org) has been developed to apply BOADICEA. This study aimed to explore the acceptability of the prototype CanRisk tool among two healthcare professional groups to inform further development, evaluation and implementation. METHOD:A multi-methods approach was used. Clinicians from primary care and specialist genetics clinics in England, France and Germany were invited to use the CanRisk prototype with two test cases (either face-to-face with a simulated patient or via a written vignette). Their views about the tool were examined via a semi-structured interview or equivalent open-ended questionnaire. Qualitative data were subjected to thematic analysis and organised around Sekhon's Theoretical Framework of Acceptability. RESULTS:Seventy-five clinicians participated, 21 from primary care and 54 from specialist genetics clinics. Participants were from England (n = 37), France (n = 23) and Germany (n = 15). The prototype CanRisk tool was generally acceptable to most participants due to its intuitive design. Primary care clinicians were concerned about the amount of time needed to complete, interpret and communicate risk information. Clinicians from both settings were apprehensive about the impact of the CanRisk tool on their consultations and lack of opportunities to interpret risk scores before sharing them with their patients. CONCLUSIONS:The findings highlight the challenges associated with developing a complex tool for use in different clinical settings; they also helped refine the tool. This prototype may not have been versatile enough for clinical use in both primary care and specialist genetics clinics where the needs of clinicians are different, emphasising the importance of understanding the clinical context when developing cancer risk assessment tools.
