Evaluation of a Tangential Map-Based Nomogram for Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments' Implantation in Keratoconus: One Year Results

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose . To evaluate a new tangential map-based nomogram versus the axial map-based nomogram for ICRS in keratoconus. Methods . A prospective case series study including 64 eyes of 64 patients who underwent ICRS implantation. Cone location was determined for each eye with two maps: the axial and the tangential. Appropriate ring selection was determined using two surgical nomograms: axial map-based and tangential map-based. Visual, refractive, and topographic outcomes were assessed before, as well as at 3, 6, and 12 months after ICRS implantation. Results . The cone location, and consequently the ring selection, was significantly different in the two nomograms with a "centralization tendency" in the tangential map. In the axial group, UDVA and CDVA improved from 0.12 ± 0.04 and 0.24 ± 0.08 to 0.28 ± 0.08 and 0.4 ± 0.1, respectively. Similarly, MRSE substantially decreased from −6.7 ± 3.3 to −1.2 ± 1.1 D at 12 months after the procedure. In the tangential group, UDVA and CDVA improved from 0.09 ± 0.06 and 0.2 ± 0.1 to 0.5 ± 0.2 and 0.7 ± 0.2, respectively. MRSE substantially decreased from −4.9 ± 1 D to −1.00 ± 1.6 D at 12 months after the procedure. The UDVA gain was significantly higher in the tangential group: 0.35 compared to 0.15 at 12 months, P=0.01∗. Similarly, the gain in the CDVA was 0.4 and 0.15 in the tangential and axial groups, respectively, at 12 months, P=0.003∗. At 12 months, the tangential map showed superiority in UDVA, CDVA, and MRSE in the peripheral cone location, but not the central and paracentral ones. Conclusion . The tangential map-based nomogram attained better visual and refractive outcomes at 1 year. In addition, the cone location was significantly different between both maps with a centralization tendency in the tangential one.

C–H Activation-Based Transformation of Naphthalenes to 3-Iodo-2-naphthylboronic Acid Derivatives for Use in Iterative Coupling Synthesis of Helical Oligo(naphthalene-2,3-diyl)s

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Oligo(naphthalene-2,3-diyl)s were synthesized by iterative cross-coupling of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene-modified 3-iodo-2-naphthylboronic acids prepared from naphthalenes via Ir-catalyzed C–H borylation, Ru-catalyzed ortho-C–H silylation directed by an anthranilamide-modified boronyl group, and subsequent iododesilylation. The introduction of a chiral diol to the retained terminal boronyl group allowed selective induction of P- or M-helical conformations.
The First Quarto of King Henry V

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The Quarto text of Henry V is of unique importance. It is the first and probably the only text of a Shakespeare play which provides the playscript corresponding to the version that was actually performed by Shakespeare's own company. It has the authority of being transcribed by actors in the company as a record of their original staging at the Globe in 1599. The quarto version differs radically from the First Folio text which is used as the source for all other editions. Half as long as the Folio, it represents a practical staging text that streamlined the script supplied by Shakespeare. This edition of the Henry V quarto provides a modernized text alongside the extensive commentary. Andrew Gurr examines each variant from the Folio text in detail, shedding new light on what happened to scripts that the Shakespeare company bought from their resident playwright.
Homoerotika v sudetonemeckem mladeznickem hnuti. Teorie a praxe Heinze Ruthy.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter analyses homosexuality in the Sudeten German youth movement in interwar Czechoslovakia using the case study of Heinz Rutha, the most prominent youth leader of his time. It explains how Rutha coopted theories from Plato and Stefan George in order to promote a Maennerbund which would lead a regenerated Sudeten German nationalist movement in Czech and central European space. The chapter appears in a book which is seminal: the first attempt by Czech historians to bring together ideas about the history of same-sex relationships in the modern Bohemian lands.
Emotional Intelligence Assessment, Interpersonal Communication and Integration of People With Disabilities in the Portuguese Labour Market

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This research aims to evaluate emotional intelligence, interpersonal communication and the integration of PwD's in the labor market. In this sense, and given the difficulties experienced by these people during the process of labor inclusion, we have tried to: explore and understand the emotions felt by these workers during their working hours and how they manage them; how communication is processed in this context; and also to verify to what extent the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has improved the process of inclusion. The mixed methodology was used, using qualitative and quantitative research. Fifty workers with disabilities and 314 work colleagues of the Auchan Portugal Group participated in the study. The results showed that the PwD's recognize their emotions when interacting with co-workers, however most disguise them when they feel discomfort, ending up not having a clear communication at the organizational level. Moreover, it was found that, although most PwD's feel integrated, it suggests a greater sensitivity of the employer, adapted work and more accessibility in the workplace.
Integrated Waste Treatment Unit GFSI Risk Management Plan

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

This GFSI Risk Management Plan (RMP) describes the strategy for assessing and managing project risks for the Integrated Waste Treatment Unit (IWTU) that are specifically within the control and purview of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and identifies the risks that formed the basis for the DOE contingency included in the performance baseline. DOE-held contingency is required to cover cost and schedule impacts of DOE activities. Prior to approval of the performance baseline (Critical Decision-2) project cost contingency was evaluated during a joint meeting of the Contractor Management Team and the Integrated Project Team for both contractor and DOE risks to schedule and cost. At that time, the contractor cost and schedule risk value was $41.3M and the DOE cost and schedule risk contingency value is $39.0M. The contractor cost and schedule risk value of $41.3M was retained in the performance baseline as the contractor's management reserve for risk contingency. The DOE cost and schedule risk value of $39.0M has been retained in the performance baseline as the DOE Contingency. The performance baseline for the project was approved in December 2006 (Garman 2006). The project will continue to manage to the performance baseline and change control thresholds identified in PLN-1963, ''Idaho Cleanup Project Sodium-Bearing Waste Treatment Project Execution Plan'' (PEP).
Preliminary Research Report for Coupling Effects of Water and Fertilizer on Drip Irrigation for Cotton under Plastic Mulch in Awati County

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

To identify the interaction between water and fertilizer on drip irrigation for cotton under plastic mulch, the field test is conducted in Awati County in Tarim river basin. The results show that the relationship between cotton yield and the irrigation norm or water consumption is linear in the conditions of irrigated water shortage and agricultural resources fail to bring effect. The coupling effects of water and fertilizer on drip irrigation for cotton under plastic mulch are significant. Water and fertilizer have the effect of increasing cotton yield, but when water and fertilizer supplies is excessive, the cotton yield will decrease. At last the proposal for improving the field test is presented.

Personalized Message Routing Policy in Pervasive eHealth Applications Based on HL7 RIM

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The design of relevant message routing strategies that provide reliable communications between different healthcare actors is deemed among one of the most challenging requirements to enhance QoS in eHealth applications. In this paper, we propose a data and context-driven model that aims to support the design of personalized, intelligent and adaptive eHealth message routing policies. Our model is suitably complying with HL7 v3, an international standard for healthcare information exchange. In the proposed model, we highlight the sensitivity of routing services applications to message, source and target ecosystems contextual information. We point out the relevant HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM) elements that are related to our research objective which is to deliver the message to the right healthcare provider with respect to the required delays for message reception, reading and reply, according to the content of the message and to the clinical and social situation of the patient. Moreover, we include AmI to make the routing policy intelligently adaptive to context changes at run-time.
Spin Dynamics in the Antiferromagnetic Oxypnictides and Fluoropnictides: LaMnAsO, LaMnSbO, and BaMnAsF

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) from polycrystalline antiferromagnetic LaMnAsO, LaMnSbO, and BaMnAsF are analyzed using a $J_1-J_2-J_c$ Heisenberg model in the framework of the linear spin-wave theory. All three systems show clear evidence that the nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interactions within the Mn square lattice layer ($J_1$ and $J_2$) are both antiferromagnetic (AFM). However, for all compounds studied the competing interactions have a ratio of $2J_2/J_1 < 1$, which favors the square lattice checkerboard AFM structure over the stripe AFM structure. The inter-plane coupling $J_c$ in all three systems is on the order of $\sim 3\times10^{-4}J_1$, rendering the magnetic properties of these systems with quasi-two-dimensional character. The substitution of Sb for As significantly lowers the in-plane exchange coupling, which is also reflected in the decrease of the N{é}el temperature, $T_{\rm N}$. Although BaMnAsF shares the MnAs sheets as LaMnAsO, their $J_1$ and $J_2$ values are substantially different. Using density functional theory, we calculate exchange parameters $J_{ij}$ to rationalize the differences among these systems.
Machine Learning Boosting Algorithms for Determining Euler Angles in an Inertial Navigation System

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Many countries of the world are actively researching and developing a large number of marine equipment for the study and development of the oceans. Along with the classical methods of ocean exploration, autonomous platforms are actively developed, such as autonomous underwater vehicles, gliders and autonomous surface vehicles. The article is devoted to improving the accuracy of the inertial navigation system of such platforms based on MEMS sensors using machine learning methods. We used two boosting methods for this: adaptive boosting and gradient boosting. Accuracy obtained by gradient boosting algorithm exceeds the level of adaptive boosting: $0.913 \pm 0.006$ on the training set and 0.912 on the test set. Adaptive boosting shows its best performance with more individual trees, which leads to more time to train the model and calculate the result.
Performing transitional justice

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter focuses on the planned transitional justice process and its institutions in action. Thus it mainly concentrates on the Truth and Dignity Commission, how it worked and was perceived, as well as the challenges it faced. It shows that the Truth and Dignity Commission had partisan appeal from the very beginning and that its president Sihem Ben Sedrine was a polarising figure. The commission was perceived as a project that would mainly serve Ennahda and its followers. With the elections of 2014 and the changes in government that followed, the political will for seeking accountability declined further and political support for the transitional justice process dwindled. The chapter shows that the difficulties the truth commission experienced in performing its tasks and fulfilling its goals and promises were due to a combination of factors: an overburdening mandate and internal quarrels, as well as external attempts to hamper its work. But this stage also reveals that the institutionalised process developed its own dynamic that allowed it to proceed, to a limited extent, independently of actors and their political preferences. Given the truth commission's efforts to make transitional justice public and inform and educate wider public opinion, the chapter concludes that the performance of transitional justice in Tunisia may have constitutive consequences by 'cracking the past open', even if it did not exactly proceed as it was initially planned. The chapter also covers the last phase of the truth commission, as well as some developments after its mandate ended.
Comparative study of overland flow modeling with different numerical resolutions

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

In the last decades, more or less complex physically-based hydrological models have been developed to solve the shallow water equations or their approximations using various numerical methods. Model users may not necessarily know the different hypothesis lying behind those developments and simplifications. Therefore it might be difficult to judge if a code is well adapted to their objectives and test case configurations. Our study aims at comparing the predictive abilities of different codes and evaluating potential gain by using advanced numerical scheme for modeling runoff. We present four different codes; each one based on either shallow water or kinematic waves equations and using either finite volume or finite difference methods. We compare these four numerical codes on different test cases which allow emphasizing their main strengths and weaknesses. Results show that, for relatively simple configurations, kinematic waves equations solved with finite volume method represent an interesting option. Nevertheless, as it appears to be limited in case of discontinuous topography or strong spatial heterogeneities, for these cases we advise the use of shallow water equations solved with the finite volume method.
Classifying and Measuring the Performance of Socially Responsible Mutual Funds

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This article offers a factor model for classifying socially responsible mutual funds and measuring their performance. The authors provide a factor model that consists of six factors: the four widely used factors of market, smalllarge (SMB), value-growth (HML), and momentum, and two social responsibility factors, reflecting the criteria most widely used by socially responsible funds. The first social responsibility factor is the top-bottom factor (TMB), consisting of the difference between the returns of stocks of companies ranked in the top third and the bottom third by five social responsibility criteria: employee relations, community relations, environmental protection, diversity, and products. The second is the accepted-shunned factor (AMS), consisting of the difference between the returns of stocks of companies commonly accepted by socially responsible investors and the returns of stocks of companies they commonly shun. Shunned stocks are stocks of companies in the alcohol, tobacco, gambling, firearms, military, and nuclear industries. A factor's coefficient is its loading, tilt, or beta; the authors use the term beta. TMB and AMS factors' betas effectively capture the social responsibility features of indices and mutual funds, and the TMB and AMS betas of indices and mutual funds generally reflect the social responsibility scores of the companies whose stocks they contain. The classification of socially responsible mutual funds by betas and contents differs from classification by Morningstar and other classifying services. Mutual funds' measured performance when the authors consider TMB and AMS factors differs from their measured performance when these factors are overlooked.

[Effect of the combination of bushen xuguan recipe and ruanjian huayu recipe on the MMP-2 expression in endometriosis rats].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The occurrence of EMS was correlated with increased activities of MMP-2. The combination method could inhibit the activities of MMP-2 in the ectopic endometrial tissues of EMS rats more effectively than RHR alone, which might be achieved through improving the endocrine environment, and reducing the "invasion" capability of the ectopic endometrium.
Wheat TaNADPO Promotes Spot Blotch Resistance

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Bipolaris sorokiniana is a prevalent fungal pathogen that resides in the soil and affects various parts of wheat, leading to diseases such as spot blotch, common root rot, head blight and black point. The genetic mechanisms that confer resistance in wheat against this pathogen are not completely known. In this research, 1302 wheat germplasms from around the world were evaluated for resistance to spot blotch at the seedling stage, and it was found that merely 3.8% displayed moderate or better resistance. A genome‐wide association study (GWAS) employing high‐density 660K single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data pinpointed a segment on chromosome 1BL (621.2–674.0 Mb) containing nine SNPs that are significantly linked to spot blotch resistance, named Qsb.hebau‐1BL . RNA sequencing and reverse transcription‐quantitative PCR analyses demonstrated that the gene TraesCS1B02G410300 , which codes for nicotinamide‐adenine dinucleotide phosphate‐binding oxidoreductase (TaNADPO), was markedly upregulated by B. sorokiniana . Five SNP variations were identified in the promoter region of TaNADPO in wheat lines with or without Qsb.hebau‐1BL . Wheat lines that overexpressed TaNADPO exhibited increased resistance to spot blotch and higher accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In contrast, knockout EMS mutants of Triticum turgidum TdNADPO ( tdnadpo‐K2561 , Gln125*) and TaNADPO ( tanadpo‐J10516796 , splice donor variant) showed diminished resistance and lower ROS levels. In conclusion, TaNADPO is a key gene for resistance against B. sorokiniana , providing essential information for the development of spot blotch‐resistant wheat varieties through molecular breeding techniques.
Genetic Characterization and Symbiotic Performance of Soybean Rhizobia Under Cold and Water-Deficient Conditions in Poland

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Soybeans have been cultivated in Poland for more than 140 years. However, Poland’s cold and water-deficient climatic conditions hinder soybean cultivation. Although the availability of suitable soybean varieties in Poland contributes to meeting the demand for soybean production, it is important to identify rhizobial inoculants in Polish soils suitable for soybean cultivation. In this study, we cultivated soybean varieties (Abelina, Merlin, and Sultana) grown in soils taken from four regions in Poland and isolated 330 strains from soybean root nodules. 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified 49 strains of highly stress-tolerant nodule-associated bacteria, including Bradyrhizobium, Rhizobium, Ensifer, Tardiphaga, and Ralstonia spp. Several isolates exhibited positive effects on soybean growth under cold and water-deficient conditions. In particular, the isolate Bradyrhizobium japonicum PSN49, which is phylogenetically similar to B. japonicum USDA 123, increased plant biomass and nodule formation in the soybean cultivar Abelina under abiotic stress conditions due to its high nitrogen-fixing activity. Whole-genome comparisons between PSN49 and other Bradyrhizobium strains revealed that trehalose biosynthesis genes and cold shock proteins contributed to cold stress tolerance. These findings and the strains identified in this study will enhance soybean production and deepen the understanding of the soybean–rhizobium relationship in Poland.
Steroid adduct formation with lens crystallins

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

BACKGROUND: Development of steroid cataract is a likely outcome following prolonged exposure to glucocorticoids. It has been suggested that formation of steroid-protein adducts is a key event in this lens opacification. In order to explore this possibility, we have monitored the reaction of bovine lens proteins with glucocorticoids and examined the effects of adduct formation on their structures. METHODS: Bovine lens proteins were incubated with high (10(-4) M) and low (10(-8) M) concentrations of dexamethasone or prednisolone for up to 56 days at 37 degrees Celsius. Changes in molecular size and solubility of the crystallins and their polypeptide subunits were examined using gel permeation chromatography and SDS gel electrophoresis. Conformational changes were assessed with the aid of tryptophan fluorescence spectroscopy and oxidation was monitored by measuring protein sulphydryl content. RESULTS: Covalent incorporation of glucocorticoids was observed for all crystallins with relative reactivities for alpha-: beta-: gamma-crystallin of 20: 5: 1. The maximum incorporated was one steroid molecule per 40 to 50 subunits of alpha-crystallin. The proportions and sizes of the soluble crystallins and their subunits were unchanged. Protein sulphydryl contents decreased by eight to 10 per cent more than controls but no intermolecular disulphide bonds were detected. There were no alterations in tryptophan microenvironments. CONCLUSIONS: Steroids form adducts with lens proteins, in particular alpha-crystallin, but it appears unlikely that this reaction is responsible for steroid cataract formation.
