Program esilence 1.0 - self-regulation program in food education via instagram-loricorps, study protocol

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction Social medias are seen as a risk factor for mental health because they increase body dissatisfaction and decrease self-esteem. This program is based on alimentation and physical well-being by relying on integrated intuitive eating and physical self-esteem. This program, implemented in a community setting use social media (i.e. Instagram-Loricorps), is composed of 12 monthly 180-second video capsule that address themes related to the promotion of body sensations and intuitive movement. Objectives The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of the program into the physical environment targeting the physical self-perceptions (PSP). Specifically, this study evaluates whether the eSILENCE 1.0 Program improves the level of PSP related to nutrition and explores the changes in the level and variability of the PSP. Methods This project is a mixed sequential explanatory study. 300 participants (Experimental Group [EG; N=200], Control Group [CG; N=100]) are targeted. Online nomothetic questionnaires evaluate occupational changes and PSP in relation to alimentation and are completed by the EG and the CG at pre-test, mid-test and post-test. Online idiographic questionnaires assess PSP and are completed by the EG before and after each video capsule and by the CG once a month without viewing the capsules. Following a preliminary analysis, a focus group will be formed to explain and deepen these results. Participants (N=5) will be recruited voluntarily into the EG. Results to come. Conclusions Analysis of quantitative data will be used to assess the effectiveness of the program and analysis of qualitative data will provide an in-depth understanding of the linkages between the variables.

Exploration of Automobile Engine Structure Course Reform under the Background of New Energy Vehicles Development

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Automotive engine structure is a compulsory and specialized course in the field of vehicle engineering, serving as a backbone course that connects the past courses and the future courses, laying a foundation for learning subsequent courses and engaging in automotive related work. Traditional automotive engine structure course cannot adapt to the current rapidly development situation of new energy vehicles and require teaching reform. This article analyzes the problems in the teaching of the automotive structure course, proposes to optimize the course content setting, add the teaching content of new energy vehicles, increase practical teaching, and improve the integration of industry, academia and research. The reform means can provide references for the cultivation of undergraduate talents in applied vehicle majors.
Türkiyede'ki yerli koyun ırklarının ve Anadolu mouflonun (Ovis Gmelini Anatolica) MTDNA'ya dayalı genetik çeşitliliği.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In the present study, history of domestic sheep were investigated by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) based haplogroups (HPG) of 628 samples and mtDNA control region (CR) sequences of 240 samples from 13 Turkish sheep breeds which were located in the hearth of the first domestication center. Also, 30 Anatolian wild sheep (Ovis gmelinii anatolica) mtDNA CR sequences were obtained to contribute to the scenarios on initial domestication stages of sheep. Haplogroup compositions of breeds were identified with SSCP method by using mtDNA ND2 region. The genetic diversity and relationship between haplogroups were calculated. Phylogenetic analyses of haplogroups such as median joining networks and neighbor joining trees were constructed for mtDNA CR, cytochrome B (cytB) and combined CR-cytB sequences with sequences from the present study together with sequences retrieved from NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). Results of the present study showed that all previously observed haplogroups (HPG A-E) were present in Turkish sheep breeds. Two individuals from rare HPG D and eleven individuals from rare HPG E were detected and sequenced. With increased sample size, for HPG E, past population expansion was observed as was the case of HPG A, B and C with mismatch distributions and neutrality tests. Spatial autocorrelation analyses and synthetic map with respect to mtDNA (maternal) pattern revealed that Turkey was separated into two regions which may be attributed to the imprints of third migration of sheep associated with the arrivals of nomadic Turks to Anatolia nearly 1000 years before present. Finally, Ovis gmelinii anatolica samples exhibited two haplotypes; one of them belongs to HPG A (possibly feral domesticate), and the other one shows a distinct haplotype (close to HPG E and C) that was not observed before. Observed, low mtDNA diversity might be the result of isolation, fragmentation, extinction of fragments and bottlenecks. Ovis gmelinii anatolica can be part of the evolved descendants of the wild sheep which gave birth to the domestic sheep.
Unraveling the Effect of Fire Seasonality on Fire-Preferred Fuel Types and Dynamics in Alto Minho, Portugal (2000–2018)

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Socio-demographic changes in recent decades and fire policies centered on fire suppression have substantially diminished the ability to maintain low fuel loads at the landscape scale in marginal lands. Currently, shepherds face many barriers to the use of fire for restoring pastures in shrub-encroached communities. The restrictions imposed are based on the lack of knowledge of their impacts on the landscape. We aim to contribute to this clarification. Therefore, we used a dataset of burned areas in the Alto Minho region for seasonal and unseasonal (pastoral) fires. We conducted statistical and spatial analyses to characterize the fire regime (2001–2018), the distribution of fuel types and their dynamics, and the effects of fire on such changes. Unseasonal fires are smaller and spread in different spatial contexts. Fuel types characteristic of maritime pine and eucalypts are selected by seasonal fires and avoided by unseasonal fires which, in turn, showed high preference for heterogeneous mosaics of herbaceous and shrub vegetation. The area covered by fuel types of broadleaved and eucalypt forest stands increased between 2000 and 2018 at the expense of the fuel type corresponding to maritime pine stands. Results emphasize the role of seasonal fires and fire recurrence in these changes, and the weak effect of unseasonal fires. An increase in the maritime pine fuel type was observed only in areas burned by unseasonal fires, after excluding the areas overlapping with seasonal fires.

ME & MY WISHES—A RESIDENT-CENTERED VIDEO COMMUNICATING CARE PREFERENCES

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

We evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of Me & My Wishes— person-centered videos of nursing home residents discussing their preferences for daily and end-of-life care consisting of four modules: About Me, Preferences for Today, Preferences for Medical Intervention and End-of-Life (EOL), and Afterthoughts. Residents were recruited from three Oregon nursing homes. To evaluate feasibility we tracked resident enrollment and video completion. Twenty (10 women and 10 men) of 34 residents approached (58% enrollment rate) created videos (mean length 19 minutes). Eighteen residents shared videos. To evaluate acceptability we conducted interviews that captured resident perceptions of producing Me & My Wishes videos. After viewing the video, staff (n = 54 surveys) and family (n=13) assessed communication quality via survey--the extent to which they perceived messages from the video (e.g. preferences for EOL) to be timely, accurate, adequate, complete, and credible (scale 1–7; 1= timely, 7= untimely), and items specific to resident preferences for daily and EOL care. We evaluated linear mixed models that calculated means and accounted for multiple views for each resident’s staff. Residents liked making the video, the opportunity to express their wishes, and the ability to share with family; residents reported no changes to their video at follow up. Video communication quality was positive. Means for communicating preferences for daily care were 1.33 (staff) and 2.36 (family); Means for communicating preferences for EOL were 1.27 (staff) and 2.08 (family). Both staff and family reported increased knowledge about resident preferences for daily and EOL care.
Phase I trial of subcutaneous interleukin 3 in patients with refractory malignancy: hematological, immunological, and pharmacodynamic findings.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We conducted a Phase I trial of s.c. recombinant human interleukin 3 (rhIL-3) to evaluate the toxicity, maximal tolerated dose, pharmacokinetics, and in vivo biological effects of this cytokine. Thirty-one patients with refractory cancer were entered into the study between November 1991 and June 1993. Therapy consisted of s.c. rhIL-3 daily for 15 days administered to cohorts of three to nine patients at dose levels of 60-4000 microgram/m2/day. Cycles were repeated at intervals of 28 days. Seventy-five cycles of rhIL-3 were administered (median, two per patient) and the maximal tolerated dose was 2000 microgram/m2/day. Toxicity was moderate, with most patients developing chills, fever, and myalgia. Dose-limiting toxicity consisted of diarrhea (two patients) and headache (one patient). Hematological effects of rhIL-3 included significant dose-related increases of WBC (P < 0.001), neutrophils (P < 0.001), and eosinophils (P < 0.001). Platelet counts and absolute lymphocyte numbers also increased. Various CD3(+) lymphocyte subsets increased; however, lytic activity (natural killer and lymphokine-activated killer) of peripheral blood lymphocytes was not enhanced. Serum levels of the soluble IL-2 receptor increased in a dose-related fashion, and IL-2-induced lymphocyte proliferation also was increased variably. Pharmacokinetic studies were performed in 13 patients, and area under the curve and maximal concentration values increased with increasing rhIL-3 dose levels (P < 0.001) and correlated with maximal changes from baseline in WBC, neutrophils, and eosinophils. rhIL-3 antibodies were detected in 8% of patients by day 29 of cycle 1 but were not neutralizing. rhIL-3 is well tolerated when administered s.c. and has reproducible hematological and immunological effects. The pleiotropic effects of this cytokine on various in vivo biological parameters were demonstrated clearly. Further studies of its immunoregulatory effects are warranted.
Institutional structure and social security systems: lessons from the Chilean experience

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Chile's 1980 pension reform is the first to create a funded pension system with private provision. The main virtue of such a system is the fact that it insulates benefits from the political process and the state of public finances. Chile's pension system was unified and redefined on a pay-as-you-go basis, and health insurance was separated from the pension system itself. From 1980, the reform faced systematic challenges from various groups: sectors that had profited under the old system, social security "experts" from various universities, pension institution managers, trade unions and politicians that opposed the military government and even prominent civilians that backed the government. The transition from an unfunded system to a fully funded system has important fiscal and macroeconomic implications. The chapter argues that the shift to a fully funded system must have had a positive effect on both savings and investment and on economic growth.
Italian and American masculinities: A comparison of masculine gender role norms.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study extends empirical data regarding the social constructionist perspective of gender roles by exploring cross-cultural differences in masculine role norms. An additional aim was to test for relations between adherence to particular norms and aspects of psychological well-being. In a sample of 152 Italian male students, participants endorsed less traditional views toward 9 of the 11 masculine norms of the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory and reported significantly less conformity than comparable American students. Only the playboy norm received greater endorsement by Italian respondents in this sample. In addition, although male students residing in southern Italy reported greater conformity than their central Italian counterparts, they still endorsed a less traditional stance toward masculine norms than male students in the United States. The masculine norms of emotional control and self-reliance were negatively correlated with positive relations with others. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper we implement a soft margin support vector machine (SVM) using linear and nonlinear kernels for image classification. The sequential minimal optimization (SMO) method will be used to find the optimal separating hyperplane between the training data that consist of a multidimensional histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features vectors extracted from multiple data sets.
Precise Outage Analysis of Selection Diversity and Switched Diversity in Bandlimited Micro-Cellular Systems With Cochannel Interference

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Precise outage probability performance analysis of a micro- cellular system with selection and switched diversities is considered. The micro-cellular system is assumed to follow a flat slow Nakgami/Raleigh fading model wherein the fading channels from the desired transmitter to all the receiver antennas are independent and identically distributed Nakagami channels, and all the fading channels for the interfering signals are independent, identically distributed Rayleigh channels. Three selection and switching criteria, namely, desired signal power, signal-to-interference power ratio and total output power are considered. Unlike previous results, the system model under investigation takes into account the pulse shaping and the random delays and phase offsets of the interfering users. Two Nyquist pulse shapes, spectrum-raised-cosine and Beaulieu–Tan–Damen pulse shapes are considered. Analytical outage probability expressions derived for an arbitrary number of interferers, arbitrary diversity order and arbitrary value of desired user fading parameter. The outage performance of the selection criteria are compared. The optimum switching thresholds for different switching criteria are formulated.
Aminergic innervation of the hypothalamus.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Anatomical aspects of aminergic neurons contained within or projecting to the hypothalamus have been studied with the Falck-Hillarp fluorescence method, the glycoxylic acid technique, Palkovits' "punch-out" system with radioenzymatic assays, electron microscopy (EM), and immunocytochemical localization of the synthesizing enzymes with the light microscope and EM. Dopaminergic (DA) neurons include the tuberoinfundibular and incertohypothalamic groups. Serotonergic (5-HT) neurons project largely from the raphe nuclei, but there are indications of some intrinsic 5-HT cells. Noradrenergic input to the hypothalamus comes almost completely from lateral tegmental brain stem neurons via the ventral adrenergic bundle, but the paraventricular, dorsomedial, supraoptic and periventricular nuclei receive some fibers directly from the locus coeruleus through the dorsal bundle. EM studies reveal aminergic boutons wiwh dense cored vesicles, but specific synaptic profiles with thickened postsynaptic membranes appear to be limited in number, and it has been proposed that the amines may commonly be released from boutons without true synaptic endings. Electrophysiological studies related to neuroendocrine phenomena reveal stimulatory and inhibitory responses to amines and to activated aminergic neurons. These effects may be transmitted via inhibitory interneurons. Functional recovery from the chronic loss of 85% of hypothalamic norepinephrine suggests that the catecholamine may serve as a modulator rather than as an essential link in the chain of neuroendocrine cause-effect relationships.
Does the China–Pakistan free trade agreement benefit the vegetable exports of Pakistan? A gravity estimation

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In the backdrop of criticism that the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement has disproportionately favored China, particularly in agricultural trade, there has been a surge in Pakistan’s imports, leading to a trade deficit. This study attempts to evaluate the impact of CPFTA 1&amp;2 on the vegetable exports of Pakistan which is an important sector of the agricultural industry. A panel data set of Pakistan’s vegetable exports to its trading partners from 2003 to 2021 was analyzed with the extensively used gravity model of trade. The vegetable export data was sourced from the International Trade Centre (ITC) which is based on the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics. The results suggest that the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA-I) has a positive association with Pakistan’s vegetable exports to China. However, trade liberalization with Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia plays a more substantial role in driving Pakistan’s vegetable exports. CPFTA-II has not had a measurable or statistically significant impact on the vegetable exports of Pakistan as this period was highly influenced by COVID-19. The results of colonialism variables show that Pakistan is exporting more to countries with the same colonial history. Moreover, the results of the geographical variable suggest that Pakistan should explore more close markets to expand vegetable exports. Policy implications suggest the need to reduce trade costs, leverage CPEC infrastructure, enrich trade relations with neighboring countries, and involve business professionals in policy negotiations.
Residential Rehabilitation Courses in the Self-Directed Management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Residential rehabilitation courses in self-directed illness management offer a potentially useful patient-centered and multidis-ciplinary therapeutic option for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. A retrospective survey of the data from the courses run by Westcare UK between 1995 and 1998 was undertaken to give a preliminary evaluation of outcomes and acceptability. The outcome results, for 49 participants, show improvements, at 12 months, on the Fatigue and Emotional Distress subscales of the PFRS. (Fatigue: before course: mean 3.66, s.d. 1.14; 12 months later: mean 3.11, s.d. 1.57; F(l,48) = 11.19 p < 0.005. Emotional distress: before course: mean 2.53, s.d. 1.46; 12 months later: mean 2.04, s.d. 1.39; F(l, 48) = 5.96 p < 0.01.) Participants also reported a high level of general satisfaction with the course: 89.4% gave a rating of five or six, out of six. These results describe both long and short-term benefits, and support the continued use of these courses and the implementation of a further more rigorous Study.
