The Gintonin-Enriched Fraction of Ginseng Regulates Lipid Metabolism and Browning via the cAMP-Protein Kinase a Signaling Pathway in Mice White Adipocytes

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Obesity is a major health concern and is becoming an increasingly serious societal problem worldwide. The browning of white adipocytes has received considerable attention because of its potential protective effect against obesity-related metabolic disease. The gintonin-enriched fraction (GEF) is a non-saponin, glycolipoprotein component of ginseng that is known to have neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the anti-obesity and browning effects of GEF have not been explored to date. Therefore, we aimed to determine whether GEF has a preventive effect against obesity. We differentiated 3T3-L1 cells and mouse primary subcutaneous adipocytes for 8 days in the presence or absence of GEF, and then measured the expression of intermediates in signaling pathways that regulate triglyceride (TG) synthesis and browning by Western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis. We found that GEF reduced lipid accumulation by reducing the expression of pro-adipogenic and lipogenic factors, and increased lipolysis and thermogenesis, which may be mediated by an increase in the phosphorylation of protein kinase A. These findings suggest that GEF may induce fat metabolism and energy expenditure in white adipocytes and therefore may represent a potential treatment for obesity.
THE CONSIDERATION OF STUDENTS’ AS WORKERS AND THE ROLE OF UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT ALONG WITH THE YEAR OF STUDY TOWARDS THE EXAMINATION OF BURNOUT

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The role of the university department and students’ year of birth and year of study in relation to burnout syndrome has been examined thoroughly. In this paper it is assumed that students are considered as workers and that the studies are analogously their work. Correspondingly, the years of study are proportional to both the student's age and the characteristics of the workload to. In this regard, a structured questionnaire was answered by 582 students of the University of Patras whose answers were analysed via an exploratory factor analysis. The aim was to deconstruct the phenomenon of students’ burnout in its causal structural elements and to examine the impact of the university department and the year of study on each of these elements. The results showed that the university department affects the students' burnout syndrome via three channels: efficacy and self-accomplishment of studies, lack of interest in university studies and via the difficulty in collaborating with their fellow students and their tutors. Additionally, it appeared that the year of study had a significant effect on students’ burnout syndrome, mainly because of physical and psycho-emotional exhaustion· the greatest effect was found in the penultimate year of study.

Operating Frequency Effect on LC-circuit Flat Circular Coils in Inductive Powering Unit for Implants

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The interrelation between coil geometry and operating frequency in the inductive powering unit is complex and can be assessed in several ways. In this paper, a pair of LC-circuits with series compensation is investigated in the following manner. The flat circular coil is optimized in order to obtain self-inductance to provide resonance of the pair of LC-circuits. The operating frequency is changing in the range of 1...10 MHz. The dependence of the coil geometric parameters (outer and inner radii, the number of turns) on the operating frequency is evaluated. A method for reducing the size of the coils has been proposed.
Untitled (2:10am)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper examines the relationship between iconography and notions of messianicity developed by Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida with reference to my own photo-series 'Untitled (2:10am)’. Benjamin's weak messianism concerns the rupturing of how the historical past appears to us, whilst Derrida examines the radical futurity of the messianic and grounds this promise in the comprehension of the dislocated nature of the historical present. Both accounts address the iconography of revolutionary France. Benjamin cites the iconoclasm of insurgents, who directed gunfire towards the clock towers of Paris, and Derrida examines questions of inheritance and appropriation in Marx's analysis of the various figures of revolution and empire in The Eighteenth Brumiare. Recent analysis has addressed the possibility of messianic art practices (Adrian Heathfield, 2004) as well as the specific structures of capital-time that the messianic must address (Sami Khatib, 2012). In these contexts iconography is conceived as operative in nature and its critical charge is measured by conjurations it might provoke in the historical present. I will develop this line of argument in order to challenge Anselm Haverkamp's 2014 critique of Derrida, in which he claims that iconography's power lies in its capacity to illustrate.
[The effect of miR-497 on laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma invasion through modulating PlexinA4].

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Objective: To study the roles of miR-497 and PlexinA4 in the progression of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: The expressions of miR-497 and PlexinA4 in fresh tumor specimens and adjacent normal mucosa tissues as well as in cell lines of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) were detected with qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. The association of miR-497 and PlexinA4 expressions with clinicopathologic factors and their prognostic values in LSCC were evaluated PlexinA4 siRNA and pcDNA3.1 (+ )/PlexinA4 plasmid were transfected into the LSCC and measured by Transwell to evaluate their effect on the invasion of LSCC. Results: miR-497 was low expression in LSCC, which related to pathological differentiation, while PlexinA4 mRNA was high expression in LSCC. Kaplan-Meier method showed that the prognosis of patients with high miR-497 expression was better than that of patients with low miR-497 expression (χ(2)=10.342, P=0.001); . Cox regression analysis showed that miR-497 was an independent prognostic factor for LSCC. The double luciferase reporter gene showed that the variation of the fluorescence activity of wild type PlexinA4 was significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.01). In Hep-2 and TU212 cell line, the number of cells with PlexinA4 siRNA passing through the compartments was 70.00±10.85 and 85.00±6.45, significantly higher than control (F values were 30.251 and 23.936, both P<0.05), the number of cells with pcDNA3.1 (+ ) /PlexinA4 was 170.56±11.95 and 142.00±10.43, also significantly less than control (F values were 35.104 and 29.643, both P<0.05). Conclusion: The expression of miR-497 in LSCC is decreased, indicating poor prognosis, which is as an independent risk factor for prognosis of LSCC. miR-497 may modulate LSCC invasion through PlexinA4.
Peacekeeping in South Lebanon: Credibility and Local Cooperation

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Although the concept of credibility has been identified by the United Nations as a significant factor in successful peacekeeping operations, its role has largely been ignored in the literature on peacekeeping at the local level. In this book, Newby provides the first detailed examination of credibility's essential place in peacekeeping. With empirically rich analysis, Newby explores the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and its navigation of political tensions in one of the world's geopolitical flashpoints, a place where the mission's work is constrained by weak local legitimacy born of a complex political situation. Identifying four types of credibility-technical, material, security, and responsiveness-Newby traces the ways in which building credibility served UNIFIL and has enabled the mission to exercise its mandate despite significant challenges on the ground. Peacekeeping in South Lebanon unpacks the day-to-day business of running a peace mission and argues that credibility should be regarded as an independent construct when considering how a peacekeeping operation functions and survives.
Chicano Nationalism: The Brown Berets and Legal Social Control

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to examine the legal social control strategies and tactics that were used by law enforcement officials at the local, state, and federal level to suppress a faction of the Chicano Movement known as the Brown Berets. The movement was made up of high school and college students, non-students, and youths. The goal of the movement was to enhance the position of Mexican-Americans in the areas of education, economics, and politics. Initially, the Brown Berets began assisting with mayoral and school board elections. Ultimately, the Brown Berets became radicalized in orientation. The Brown Berets began to address many community concerns such as police brutality and harassment. As the group gained visibility and notoriety, they also became a prime target for police. The movement experienced violence, infiltration, and surveillance at the hands of law enforcement officials. The Brown Berets disbanded in 1973. This research project utilized a qualitative methodological approach. The research methods included telephone interviews with activists/scholars, document analysis of local newspapers and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Brown Beret file. Finally, I conducted a historiography of several books in Mexican-American history depicting instances of legal social control.
The advance access mechanism for differentiated service, power control, and radio efficiency in ad hoc MAC protocols

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we present the advance access mechanism for medium access control (MAC) with high throughput and strong supports for quality-of-service (QoS) and power control in mobile ad hoc networks and multihop wireless LANs. The advance access mechanism can solve the exposed terminal problem and the heterogeneous terminal problem and support interference awareness with single PHY channel for both control messages and data packets, without replying on busy tone. We demonstrate through simulations that the advance access mechanism is considerably stronger than IEEE 802.11e in terms of its differentiation capability for delays and throughput. The advance access mechanism can be easily incorporated into IEEE 802.11/11e and other existing/new MAC protocols to achieve the aforementioned advantages.
The Importance of Outcome Data in Brain Injury Rehabilitation

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Rehabilitation nurses, rehabilitation clients and their families, and healthcare funders easily can obtain brochures about or tours of agencies that provide rehabilitation services to people with brain injuries. Less accessible are outcome data from these agencies, data that should be as readily available as the tours and the brochures--and that reveal far more about the agencies. In this article, the authors describe the system developed by a private, comprehensive postacute service provider for collecting, analyzing, and using the outcome data of its discharged clients. The importance of outcome data for funders, families, and facilities is stressed, and the article provides examples of how to use the data for decision making and program development.
Research on camera bracket for elevator traction wheel groove

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

After the elevator runs for a long time, the traction wheel groove will be excessively worn. If the wheel groove is worn to a certain extent and is not replaced, it will be dangerous. In practical application, it is found that the wear between the wheel grooves of the traction wheel is not uniform. Therefore, the traction wheel needs to be tested regularly for replacement. With the development of visual recognition technology, it is possible to detect the traction wheel by visual recognition. The wheel groove part is reconstructed by visual recognition, and then the wear degree of the wheel groove can be analyzed. Three-dimensional reconstruction requires the camera to shoot the target from multiple angles. In this paper, a camera mounting bracket which can meet the needs of elevator traction wheel groove is designed.
Consumer–brand relationships and social distance: A construal level theory perspective

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract Brands are increasingly struggling to establish and maintain strong relationships with their customers. But such relationship status is rare, and consumers are often relationship‐averse or satisfied with the relationship status quo. Drawing upon construal level theory (CLT) and consumer–brand relationship (CBR) literature, this study provides empirical support for the connection between CBRs and social distance and demonstrates that changes in CBRs foster variation of consumers' preferences to primary and secondary product features, which reflects their varying construal levels and consumer–brand social distances (study 1). Furthermore, we assessed whether the congruency between consumer–brand social distance and construal levels can contribute to more favorable product evaluations. Studies 2 and 3 reveal that when consumers are socially close to brands, product attributes (low‐level construal) exert a higher impact on product assessments, whereas when consumers are socially distant from the brand, price (high‐level construal) exerts a greater impact on product evaluations. Additionally, unlike the common belief that high prices lead to higher perceived quality, our findings suggest that a positive perception of a product attribute for low‐priced products leads to more favorable product evaluations. These results indicate that marketers can nurture existing CBRs for developing their communication strategy to achieve better consumer evaluations.
Effects of silver nanoparticle on Morinda officinalis How

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Nanosilver is a form of silver metal particles, extremely small nano-sized particles, about 1 to 100 nm. Nanosilver solution can be used to treat the soil before sowing or planting trees to control pathogenic microbes and improve plant growth and development. Nevertheless, the study on the effects of silver nanoparticles remains limited. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to examine the effects of nanosilver concentration on the growth and development of Morinda officinalis How grown in Ba Che district, Quang Ninh province. The silver nanoparticle solution (2 to 10 ppm) mixed with the extract of sour star fruit was sprayed on the seedlings of M. officinalis How and their growth and development were measured. The results showed that the use of nano-silver solution affected the growth and development of Morinda officinalis How. The study successfully prepared a 500 ppm nanosilver solution by a chemical reduction method with reducing agent extracted from the sour star fruit. It has the dual effect of both promoting growth and development as well as producing the best tuber quality for Morinda officinalis How grown in Ba Che, Quang Ninh at 6 ppm.
Event-related potentials reveal evidence for syntactic co-activation in bilingual language processing

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

A critical question about bilingualism is how two or more languages are processed in the bilingual mind (e.g., Kroll, Bobb, & Hoshino, 2014 ). Previous research shows that bilinguals’ languages interact, at least at the lexical and phonological levels. Relatively little research has addressed whether this occurs at the syntactic level during sentence processing. One event-related potential study with Welsh-English bilinguals showed co-activation of syntactic properties of one language that affected processing of the other language ( Sanoudaki & Thierry, 2014 , 2015 ). The current study replicates Sanoudaki and Thierry with Spanish-English bilinguals, and the results largely reproduce their findings of syntactic co-activation during sentence processing. These converging results have implications for theories about bilingual language processing regarding how syntax may interact in the bilingual mind.
Expert Training with Standardized Operative Technique Helps Establish a Successful Penile Prosthetics Program for Urologic Resident Education

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction The challenge of resident education in urologic surgery programs is to overcome disparity imparted by diverse patient populations, limited training times, and inequalities in the availability of expert surgical educators. Specifically, in the area of prosthetic urology, only a small proportion of programs have full-time faculty available to train residents in this discipline. Aim To examine whether a new model using yearly training sessions from a recognized expert can establish a successful penile prosthetics program and result in better outcomes, higher case volumes, and willingness to perform more complex surgeries. Methods A recognized expert conducted one to two operative training sessions yearly to teach standardized technique for penile prosthetics to residents. Each session consisted of three to four operative cases performed under the direct supervision of the expert. Retrospective data were collected from all penile prosthetic operations before (February, 2000 to June, 2004: N = 44) and after (July, 2004 to October, 2007: N = 79) implementation of these sessions. Main Outcome Measures Outcomes reviewed included patient age, race, medical comorbidities, operative time, estimated blood loss, type of prosthesis, operative approach, drain usage, length of stay, and complications including revision/explantation rates. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-tests, Fisher's tests, and survival curves using the Kaplan-Meier technique (P value ≤ 0.05 to define statistical significance). Results Patient characteristics were not significantly different pre- vs. post-training. Operative time and estimated blood loss significantly decreased. Inflatable implants increased from 19/44 (43.2%, pre-training) to 69/79 (87.3%, post-training) (P &lt; 0.01). Operations per year increased from 9.96 (pre-training) to 24 (post-training) (P &lt; 0.01). Revision/explantation occurred in 11/44 patients (25%, pre-training) vs. 7/79 (8.9%, post-training) (P &lt; 0.05). Conclusions These data demonstrate that yearly sessions with a recognized expert can improve surgical outcomes, type, and volume of implants and can reduce explantation/revision rates. This represents an excellent model for improved training of urologic residents in penile prosthetics surgery.
Research on computer aided testing of pilot response to critical in-flight events

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Experiments on pilot decision making are described. The development of models of pilot decision making in critical in flight events (CIFE) are emphasized. The following tests are reported on the development of: (1) a frame system representation describing how pilots use their knowledge in a fault diagnosis task; (2) assessment of script norms, distance measures, and Markov models developed from computer aided testing (CAT) data; and (3) performance ranking of subject data. It is demonstrated that interactive computer aided testing either by touch CRT's or personal computers is a useful research and training device for measuring pilot information management in diagnosing system failures in simulated flight situations. Performance is dictated by knowledge of aircraft sybsystems, initial pilot structuring of the failure symptoms and efficient testing of plausible causal hypotheses.

The use of degenerate oligonucleotide primed polymerase chain reaction (DOP-PCR) technique to detect and isolate cytochrome P450 2E1 and 2A genes

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Cytochrome P450 (CYP, P450) enzymes are widely studied for their involvement in the metabolism of drugs as well as endogenous substrates. Assessing some forms of P450 such as P450 2E1 and 2A phenotype may be of great importance to predict organism’s susceptibility to xenobiotic and environmental pollutants which are metabolically activated by these isoenzymes. In the present study, we designed universal degenerate oligonucleotide primers sets based on the highly conserved nucleotide sequences at the 5’ and 3’ cDNA ends of P450 2E1 and 2A gene family from Camelus dromedaries (Arabian camel), Bos Taurus (cow), Capra hircus (domestic goat), Ovis aries (domestic sheep), Oryctolagus cuniculus (European rabbit), Xenopus tropicalis (Western clawed frog), Rattus norvegicus (Norway rat), Mus musculus (house mouse) and Mesocricetus auratus (golden hamster). We successfully demonstrated that these primers sets were able to detect the expression of P450 2E1 and 2A genes from these eukaryotic organisms. Moreover, we amplified 1070 and 1200 nucleotides of both P450 2E1 and 2A from these organisms and this represent two third of the actual size of these P450 isoforms. The nucleotide sequences of these genes showed percent identities ranging from 80 to 85%. The degenerate primers designed in this study allowed the detection and amplification of known and unknown P450s belonging to the gene families 2E1 and 2A from different organisms. Key words : Cytochrome P450, xenobiotics, degenerate primers, mixed function oxidases.
