Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Twelve healthy male subjects age range 24-40 y participated in the investigation. The trial was divided into 2 35-d periods. The 2 treatment regimens were: (i) 1 x 400 mg moxifloxacin tablet in the morning and 1 placebo tablet in the evening for 7 d; and (ii) 1 x 500 mg clarithromycin tablet in the morning and 1 x 500 mg clarithromycin tablet in the evening for 7 d. Each subject received firstly I treatment regimen and secondly the other treatment regimen. The wash-out period was 6 weeks between the two treatment regimens. Moxifloxacin caused significant decreases of enterococci and enterobacteria during the administration period while the numbers of staphylococci, streptococci, Bacillus and Candida were not affected. No impact on peptostreptococci, lactobacilli, Veillonella, Bacteroides or fusobacteria was observed, while bifidobacteria and clostridia decreased during moxifloxacin administration. The microflora was normalized after 35 d. Clarithromycin caused significant reduction of Escherichia coli while the numbers of enterococci, Enterobacter, Citrobacter, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas increased markedly. No significant changes in the numbers of staphylococci, streptococci, Bacillus and Candida were noticed. In the anaerobic microflora bifidobacteria, lactobacilli and clostridia were suppressed, while no changes in peptostreptococci, Veillonella, Bacteroides and fusobacteria were found. The microflora was normalized in all volunteers after 35 d.
Promoting Inclusivity in Anti-Sectarian Protests: Understanding the Dilemmas of Organizers in Lebanon’s 2019 October Uprising

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract This article contributes to explaining limitations to the inclusivity of protest movements against sectarianism through a case study of the 2019 Lebanese October Uprising. The study scrutinizes the challenges key organizers in Beirut faced when seeking to address issues of inclusivity concerning residents from two Shiʿite majority communities in and around the city. Engaging social movement theories on intersectionality and political opportunity structures and drawing on data from twenty-two in-depth interviews, it shows that organizers were attentive to stereotyping and exclusive attitudes concerning young men from the two communities. Yet, while expressing a desire to address these, organizers also found themselves caught in a dilemma, fearing that their efforts to promote inclusivity could trigger accusations of sectarian biases and favoritism. These findings provide important inputs to wider scholarly debates concerning the relationship between protests and other forms of anti-sectarian mobilization as well as the costs and desirability of enhancing inclusivity.
Chlorinated Cyanurates: Review of Water Chemistry and Associated Drinking Water Implications

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Since 1958, cyanuric acid and two chlorinated cyanurates, commonly referred to as dichlor (anhydrous sodium dichloroisocyanurate or sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate) and trichlor (trichloroisocyanuric acid), have been added to outdoor swimming pools to stabilize chlorine residual by minimizing sunlight‐related degradation. Subsequently, in July 2001, dichlor and trichlor were approved for routine drinking water treatment under the US Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, and manufacturers have achieved NSF 60 certification for dichlor or trichlor addition to drinking water. Currently in the United States, dichlor or trichlor for drinking water use may be approved by states, tribes, or territories. One complicating factor with dichlor or trichlor is that the actual free chlorine concentration in these systems cannot be measured accurately by currently approved methods. This review summarizes the existing water chemistry associated with dichlor and trichlor use as a chlorine source in drinking water, along with the associated implications.
Music as a Form of Self-Therapy in College Students

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract\nMusic therapy utilizes music interventions as a way of addressing a person’s psychological and physical needs. It has various forms and techniques that range from listening to writing to performing. The therapeutic benefits of music are widespread and can be particularly useful in the grieving process. Research has shown that music that addresses concerns about life and death provides children with a meaningful connection through familiar and positive sources (Hilliard, 2001). Dialogue to deceased family and friends through singing interventions can considerably improve a grieving adult’s access of their own emotions (Iliya & Harris, 2016). Among adolescents, organized songwriting sessions can have a substantial effect on the grief process and overall psychological health (Dalton & Krout, 2005). With the ability to be accessed by multiple generations, it is possible that college students use music in their everyday lives to deal with grief. The goal of the present study is to examine the use of music, both listening and writing, as a form of self-therapy in college students. Participants in the this study consisted of 30 individuals enrolled at a private, liberal arts institution in Northern California. Participants were asked to complete a survey consisting of questions from the Grief and Meaning Reconstruction Inventory (Gillies, Neimeyer, & Milman, 2014) and The Psychological Mechanisms, Motives, and Emotional Reactions to Music Listening Web Survey (Juslin et al., 2016) This is study is expected to show that college students who self-report using music as form of therapy to deal with past or present emotions related to grief report coping with loss better than their peers who do not. College students are also expected to report listening to music therapeutically more than writing music therapeutically. This research is expected to support previous evidence that asserts that individuals who use music therapy are better able to cope with loss.\nkey words: music, self-therapy, grief
Coreceptor restriction within the HLA-DQ locus for Epstein–Barr virus infection

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

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human herpesvirus that causes infectious mononucleosis and is etiologically associated with malignancies of multiple origins. EBV enters cells through a cascade of interactions between its envelope glycoprotein gp350 and the gp42-gH-gL complex with cellular receptors. Membrane fusion is catalyzed by the binding of gp42, a member of the C type lectin family, to HLA class II molecule HLA-DR, -DP, or -DQ. Here we demonstrate that only a subset of HLA-DQ alleles mediates EBV entry, indicating that individuals expressing these alleles may offer unique sites for EBV infection and subsequent sequelae. Additionally, the specific site within HLA-DQ determined to be essential for EBV entry is homologous to a site within MHC class I shown by structural studies to bind to the C type-lectin-like natural killer receptor, providing insight into the biochemical nature of the gp42–HLA class II interaction.
Evidence of impaired facial emotion recognition in mild Alzheimer’s disease: A mathematical approach and application

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Objectives: The first objective of this paper is to show the improved binary outcomes resulting from using MARIE as a diagnostic instrument that allows valid and reliable visual recognition of facial emotional expressions (VRFEE) in an objective and quantitative manner. The second objective is to demonstrate mathematical modeling of binary responses that allow the measurement of categorical dimension, sensitivity, camber, equilibrium points, transition thresholds, etc. The final objective is to illustrate the use of this test for 1) testing a homogeneous sample of healthy young participants; and 2) applying this method to a sample of 12 participants with early Alz-heimer disease compared to a matched control sample of healthy elderly participants. Design: Transforming the binary outcomes of MARIE in mathematical variables (experiment 1), allowing verification of a disorder of VRFEE in early Alzheimer’s disease (experiment 2). Measures: Comparison of numerical variables and graphic representations of both samples. Results: The objective measurement of VRFEE is possible in a healthy population. The application of this methodology to a pathological population is also made possible. The results support the current literature. Conclusion: The combination of the mathematical method with the diagnostic instrument MARIE shows its power and ease of use in clinical practice and research. Its application in many clinical conditions and in clinical research can be useful for understanding brain function. This method improves 1) the inter-examiner comparison and standardizes the quantification of VRFEE for use by multiple researchers; 2) the follow-up of a sample over time; 3) the comparison of two or more samples. This method is already available in clinical work for refining the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in our department.
From The Sea Wall to The Lover : Prostitution and Exotic Parody

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This analysis of the two novels highlights Marguerite Duras' equivocal stance with regard to colonial Indochina where she grew up at the beginning of the century. As The Lover rewrites The Sea Wall in the autobiographical mode, the emphasis shifts from an explicit denunciation of colonialism and an implicit subversion of the Lotilian novel, to a parody of exotic themes and narratives. However, by focusing on the two young protagonists' construction of themselves as femmes fatales and prostitutes, this discussion reveals that the politics of gender and race remain at odds in Duras' fictional autobiographies. The cultural other (qua a passive indigenous population in The Sea Wall , qua eroticized oriental[ized] bodies in The Lover ) remains a measure of the protagonist's construction as a female subject; a measure, in Chandra Mohanty's words, of the "liberated" western woman's "discursive self-presentation."
Features of Circularly Polarized Luminescence of the Paramagnetic Garnets Y3Al5O12:Tb3+ and Y3Al5O12:Ho3+ in Magnetic Field

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The spectra of circularly polarized luminescence of the paramagnetic garnets Y3Al5O12:Tb3+ and Y3Al5O12:Ho3+ in magnetic field have been studied experimentally in the visible range of wavelength for the 5D4 → 7F5 transition of the Tb3+ ions and for the 5S2 → 5I8 transition of the Ho3+ ions. A great difference has been found in the intensities of orthogonal circularly polarized components for a number of luminescence lines. The findings are explained by a mechanism of “mixing” of electronic states of the Tb3+ and Ho3+ ions in the matrix of the Y3Al5O12 garnet in an external magnetic field. The results of numerical calculations of the energy spectra of the 7F5 multiplet of the Tb3+ ions in a crystalline field of D2 symmetry are presented.
Correlation of Pronated Foot Posture and Vertical Jump Measurement in Adolescent Recreational Basketball Players - An Observational Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA); a whole joint disorder is a most common and progressive disease that worsens with age. Synovitis and synovial effusion can play important role in early OA diagnosis and progression. Limited Background: Jumping is a significant move commonly performed by basketball players, with an average of 44 jumps completed by each player during a competitive game. The influence of foot pronation on the mechanics of the lower extremities in basketball players' movements, particularly during repeated jumps and various landing techniques, is a significant area under investigation. Methodology: After receiving ethical approval, a total of 250 individuals underwent screening. Out of these, 85 participants were selected for the study on specific criteria and convenience sampling. Prior to the commencement of the study, written consent was obtained from the parents of the participants, along with their assent. The participants were then categorized into different groups based on their navicular drop, with Group 1 (consisting of 42 individuals) exhibiting a pronated foot posture, and Group 2 (comprising 43 individuals) displaying a neutral foot posture. Subsequently, the Sargent jump test was conducted on all participants, and the data obtained was analyzed for both groups. Results: Data from basketball players were examined using SPSS 16.0. After conducting an unpaired t-test (p=0.15, Df= 83, t= 1.43) and a Pearson correlation test (r=0.12 and r=0.08), it was found that there was no statistically significant correlation between pronated foot posture and vertical jump performance. Conclusion: This research study has determined that there is no connection between a pronated foot position and the vertical jump height among young recreational basketball players. Keywords: Pronated foot, Navicular drop, Vertical jump, Adolescent, Basketball players.

Finding solutions to some of these limitations can improve the quality of learning in this method so that students can have a better experience. The aim of this paper is to introduce a new educational method to increase the quality of electronic education. In addition to the two main senses of sight and hearing, this method also includes the sense of smell. In this method, students compare course elements to several fragrant substances and provide reasons for this connection. Survey results show that the majority of students consider increased understanding of educational content, high retention of material and appropriate design as positive features of this method.
All of whom? Limitations encountered using All of Us Researcher Workbench in a Primary Care residents secondary data analysis research training block

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objectives The goal of this case report is to detail experiences and challenges experienced in the training of Primary Care residents in secondary analysis using All of Us Researcher Workbench. At our large, urban safety net hospital, Primary Care/Internal Medicine residents in their third year undergo a research intensive block, the Research Practicum, where they work as a team to conduct secondary data analysis on a dataset with faculty facilitation. In 2023, this research block focused on use of the All of Us Researcher Workbench for secondary data analysis. Materials and Methods Two groups of 5 residents underwent training to access the All of Us Researcher Workbench, and each group explored available data with a faculty facilitator and generated original research questions. Two blocks of residents successfully completed their research blocks and created original presentations on “social isolation and A1C” levels and “medical discrimination and diabetes management.” Results Departmental faculty were satisfied with the depth of learning and data exploration. In focus groups, some residents noted that for those without interest in performing research, the activity felt extraneous to their career goals, while others were glad for the opportunity to publish. In both blocks, residents highlighted dissatisfaction with the degree to which the All of Us Researcher Workbench was representative of patients they encounter in a large safety net hospital. Discussion Using the All of Us Researcher Workbench provided residents with an opportunity to explore novel questions in a massive data source. Many residents however noted that because the population described in the All of Us Researcher Workbench appeared to be more highly educated and less racially diverse than patients they encounter in their practice, research may be hard to generalize in a community health context. Additionally, given that the data required knowledge of 1 of 2 code-based data analysis languages (R or Python) and work within an idiosyncratic coding environment, residents were heavily reliant on a faculty facilitator to assist with analysis. Conclusion Using the All of Us Researcher Workbench for research training allowed residents to explore novel questions and gain first-hand exposure to opportunities and challenges in secondary data analysis.
Optimization Techniques in Electric Vehicle Charging Scheduling, Routing and Spatio-Temporal Demand Coordination: A Systematic Review

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

The growing penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) and the increasing EV energy demand pose several challenges to the power grid, the power distribution networks and the transportation networks. This growing demand drives the need for effective demand management and energy coordination strategies to maximize the demand covered by the EV charging stations, ensure EV users' satisfaction and prevent grid-side overload. As a result, several optimization problems are formulated and solved in the literature to provide optimal EV charging schedules (i.e. temporal coordination) as well as optimal EV-to-charging-station assignments and routing plans (i.e. spatial coordination). This paper presents a review of the state-of-the-art literature on the utilization of different deterministic optimization techniques to develop optimal EV charging coordination strategies. In particular, these works are reviewed according to their domains of operation (i.e. time-based scheduling, spatial coordination, and spatio-temporal charging coordination), their respective objectives (user-, grid- and operator-related objectives), and the solution algorithms adopted to provide the corresponding optimal coordination plans. This helps in identifying key research gaps and provide recommendations for future research directions to develop comprehensive and computationally efficient charging coordination models.
Fixed-complexity list-type iterative joint detection and decoding of LDPC-coded V-blast systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Soft iterative detection and decoding techniques have been shown to be able to achieve near-capacity performance in multiple antenna systems. To obtain the optimal soft information by marginalizing over the entire observation space is intractable: one must resort to suboptimal methods to implement such receivers. Although list-type detectors such as those founded upon the sphere decoding algorithm provide outstanding error performance, issues such as the optimal initial sphere radius, optimal radius update strategy, and their highly variable computational complexity are still unresolved. In this paper, a new detection scheme is proposed addressing the above issues. Our simulation results show that by sacrificing less than 2 dB at error rate of 10 -5 , we are able to gain up to 38.6% complexity reduction as well as a detector structure that is more suitable for practical system implementation.

INVESTIGATION OF COLONIC SYMPTOMS : THE VALUE OF FLEXIBLE SIGMOIDOSCOPY

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

SUMMARY Colonic symptoms and large‐bowel disease are common in elderly people, 1 but the optimum investigative schema is not well established. Double‐contrast barium enema (DCBE) and full colonoscopy share several drawbacks; both require colonic preparation which at best causes stool frequency and urgency, at worse dehydration and hypovolaemia. Many physicians feel that in the elderly this represents such a risk that inpatient preparation is preferred. Both investigations may involve much discomfort and distress. 2 , 3 Rigid sigmoidoscopy is the traditional first colonic examination in patients with colonic symptoms, but will detect fewer than 10% of significant colonic lesions. 4 Further investigation is almost always needed in elderly patients.
