O-323 MATERNITY PROTECTION: RISKS AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES ACCORDING TO SECTORS IN SWITZERLAND

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction Pregnant and lactating women receive special protection at the workplace in Switzerland because of their increased vulnerability. Methods This cohort study investigated the subjective exposure to the presence of pre-defined dangers according to Swiss motherhood protection law, by work sector and other personal demographics using a representative Swiss dataset. 2’809 mothers replied to the questionnaire, of which 65% reported that occupational risks (OcR) at the workplace were present. 52% of the respondents were protected at the workplace according to the law. Results Factors negatively associated with implementation of maternity protection according to the law were: working in agriculture, trade and repair, hospitality industry, education, health and social work, arts, entertainment sports, cleaning, temporary employment, and private and other services, having compulsory education as the maximum qualification, working in French-speaking regions and working in small (1-9 persons) or medium-sized (20-49 persons) companies as well as suffering from health problems during pregnancy. Although 81% of mothers are either not exposed to OcR at the workplace or are protected by various measures, less than one-fifth of women with occupational risks were protected according to the law at their workplace. Discussion In addition, women reported a lack of information from their employers regarding risks and preventive measures especially in small and medium-sized enterprises. Conclusion Labour inspectorates should emphasize the importance of motherhood protection in small and medium-sized enterprises with OcR, focusing on risk assessment and implementation of corrective measures.
Antibiotic resistance: Assessing knowledge and misconceptions among Portuguese students and science teachers

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance poses one of the most significant medical challenges for humanity. The current burden is overwhelming and is projected to escalate rapidly, with predictions for 2050 indicating 10 million deaths per year due to antibiotic‐resistant microorganisms. Enhancing public awareness and education on this topic is crucial in efforts to mitigate this issue. In our study, we translated an existing questionnaire on antimicrobial resistance into Portuguese, validated it, and applied it between December 2020 and March 2021 to a group of Portuguese students ( n = 112) and science teachers ( n = 95). A majority of the students surveyed (65.1%) incorrectly believed that antibiotics could treat colds/flus. As anticipated, the teachers outperformed the students in the questionnaire. However, difficulties with this topic were evident in both groups. Most notably, the misconception that the human body becomes resistant to antibiotics was prevalent among most participants (77.0% of students and 68.4% of teachers). Consistent with previous studies in other populations and geographic locations, our research reveals a worrying lack of knowledge about antimicrobial resistance among Portuguese students and science teachers. Consequently, it is deemed urgent to implement effective measures to raise awareness and educate on this topic.

Clinically significant depression can impact up to 50 % of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) over a course of their life time, which is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. In our study, fifteen relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients and 15 age- and gender-matched normal controls were included. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was acquired by employing a single-shot echo planar imaging sequence on a 3.0 T MR scanner and fractional anisotropy (FA) was performed with tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) approach. Finally, widespread WM and GM abnormalities were observed in RRMS patients. Moreover, the relationships between the depressive symptoms which can be measured by Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD) as well as clinical disabilities measured by the expanded disability status scale (EDSS) and FA changes were listed. There was a positive relation between EDSS and the FA changes in the right inferior parietal lobule, while negative relation was located in the left anterior cingulate cortex andhippocampus.Also a positive relation betweenHAMDandFAchangeswas found in the right posterior middle cingulate gyrus, the right hippocampus, the left hypothalamus, the right precentral gyrus, and the posterior cingulate which
Mechanism of the permanganate oxidation of unsaturated compounds. Part I. Short-lived intermediates of the oxidation of acetylenedicarboxylic acid

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Fast reaction techniques have been applied to the study of intermediates in the permanganate oxidation of acetylenedicarboxylic acid in acid. The accumulation and decay of MnIII has been observed by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The quenching of reacting solutions proves that oxalic acid is formed as an intermediate. The amount of oxalate found in the presence of pyrophosphate as scavenger for MnIII provides evidence for a short-lived MnIV species. Oxygen-18 tracer experiments indicate complete oxygen transfer from permanganate to acetylenedicarboxylic acid. A number of mechanistic alternatives are systematically examined. It is suggested that the first step of oxidation is the formation of a cyclic intermediate containing manganese(V).
SYNTHESIS, AND SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF ZINC (II) MACROCYCLIC COMPLEXES WITH MOLECULAR DOCKING STUDIES

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Ten complexes of the general formula [ZnX2L 1-5] have been produced and thoroughly analyzed through elemental profiling, molar electrical conductivity measurements, IR spectroscopy, and Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) data. In these complexes, X represents Cl or Br, while L corresponds to newly designed macrocyclic Schiff base ligands, derived from the condensation of benzil (2 mmol) and aliphatic diamines, i.e., Ethylenediamine, Propane-1,3-diamine, 1,4-Diaminobutane, Pentane-1,5-diamine, 1,6-Diaminohexane (2 mmol). All of these prepared [ZnX2L 1-5] complexes have been suggested to have an octahedral geometry. To determine the optimal ligand-protein interactions, molecular docking was performed using a single protein and four distinct ligands, such as L1 , L2 , L3 , and L 4 receptors on a molecule.

Faster Quantum Algorithm to simulate Fermionic Quantum Field Theory

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In quantum algorithms discovered so far for simulating scattering processes in quantum field theories, state preparation is the slowest step. We present a new algorithm for preparing particle states to use in simulation of Fermionic Quantum Field Theory (QFT) on a quantum computer, which is based on the matrix product state ansatz. We apply this to the massive Gross-Neveu model in one spatial dimension to illustrate the algorithm, but we believe the same algorithm with slight modifications can be used to simulate any one-dimensional massive Fermionic QFT. In the case where the number of particle species is one, our algorithm can prepare particle states using $O\left( ε^{-3.23\ldots}\right)$ gates, which is much faster than previous known results, namely $O\left(ε^{-8-o\left(1\right)}\right)$. Furthermore, unlike previous methods which were based on adiabatic state preparation, the method given here should be able to simulate quantum phases unconnected to the free theory.

QTc Prolongation after Ventricular Septal Defect Repair in Infants

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Prolonged QTc could be seen after VSD repair in infants. This phenomenon was associated with peri-procedural factors such as the Aristotle score and cross-clamp time. Patients with QTc prolongation after cardiac surgery had an increased tendency towards arrhythmogenicity in the post-operative period.
Assessment of the Electrostatic Field Uniformity Within an Electrospinning Device

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The analysis carried out made it possible to evaluate the electrostatic field in an electrospinning device by means of a Comsol finite element model. The study focuses on the main factors affecting the generation of nanofibers and on the uniformity of the electrostatic field over the collector. In particular, the behaviour of the electrostatic field vector close to the needle and along the edges of the collector was assessed. Finally, the electric field at several points on the collector surface was computed in Comsol. The obtained data were processed in Matlab to assess the variation of the electric field along the x; -and y -directions. The model results allow to explain interesting aspects arising from the use of the machine.
Assessment of HVAF thermally sprayed coatings: Unraveling microstructural, electrochemical, and tribological performance using glass former Fe-Cr-Mo-Nb-B feedstock powder

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper the microstructural features of the glass former Fe68Cr8Mo4Nb4B16 coatings are unveiled and related to their electrochemical and tribological responses. The coating was mostly glassy with some embedded borides (M3B2, M2B-tetragonal; M being the metallic elements of the alloy) and ferrite. The tribological behavior of the HVAF coated sample, characterized by a thickness of about 200 µm, ∼6% porosity and a Vickers hardness of 357 HV0.5, was assessed in a sphere-on-plate configuration, revealing a specific wear rate of approximately 5 ×10−4 mm3∙N−1m−1. The wear mechanism was dominated by delamination caused by fragile intersplats. The corrosion resistance of HVAF coatings was evaluated in 0.6 M NaCl solution and compared with the results obtained for the crystalline Fe68Cr8Mo4Nb4B16 ingot, produced by melting in an induction furnace, and for the AISI 1020 steel substrate. The HVAF coating showed satisfactory corrosion resistance compared to the carbon steel substrate and the crystalline ingot, with the highest corrosion potential, Ecorr, values (−533 mVSCE) and the lowest corrosion current density, icorr, (10−6 A∙cm−2) followed by a clear passivation window upon anodic polarization in 0.6 M NaCl solution. Evaluations of HVAF coating showed a higher glassy content compared to the gas-atomized feedstock powders. This suggests that during spraying, certain particles were molten and experienced cooling rates adequate to inhibit crystallization, resulting in the freezing of the supercooled liquid. This phenomenon contributes to the good corrosion resistance observed in the present work and offers an opportunity to enhance the electrochemical behavior of HVAF coatings.
Some Queuing Problems with the Service Station Subject to Breakdown

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

A number of situations is considered where the single service station is incapacitated from time to time to render service to the incoming (stationary) Poisson stream of customers. Five models are presented Model. A deals with the situation in which the service interruption is brought about by a Poisson process homogeneous in time. The preemptive priority queuing model is shown to be a special case. Model B is concerned with the case in which breakdowns occur only while the station is giving service. In Model C it is assumed that the repair process cannot start without customers at the station. Model D describes a situation in which the repair of the station starts at the initiative of a customer who wishes to improve the standard of service. In Model E the assumption is that the station can break down only while no customer is being serviced. In all models it is assumed that service times and repair times possess arbitrary distribution functions each having a density and finite second moment. The expected queue lengths and related operating characteristics of the various systems are derived using relatively simple mathematical methods.
Biopsy Results Are Not Sufficient to Exclude Breast Implant–associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma: A Case Mistaken for Disseminated Silicosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Summary We present a case report of breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) that was mistaken as disseminated silicosis after multiple percutaneous biopsies. The correct diagnosis of BIA-ALCL was confirmed only after a pathologic examination of the capsulectomy specimens. A review of the literature of percutaneous biopsies of ALCL showed a diagnostic yield of only 63%. Although percutaneous biopsies may be facile to obtain and may be diagnostic, in our case, biopsies were not sufficient to exclude the diagnosis of BIA-ALCL.
Effects of melatonin on oocyte developmental competence and the role of melatonin receptor 1 in juvenile goats

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Contents Melatonin enhances in vitro embryo development in several species by improving the oocyte developmental competence during in vitro maturation (IVM). Melatonin has a wide range of actions, from scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) to regulating gene expression, and it can also act by way of melatonin receptors. The aim of this study was to determine the mechanism of action of melatonin during the IVM of juvenile goat oocytes and the role of the membrane receptors. Melatonin receptor 1 was immunolocalized in cumulus cells and oocytes before and after 24 hr of IVM. The effect of melatonin on oocyte developmental competence was tested in three experimental IVM groups: (a) control, (b) 10 −7 M melatonin, and (c) 10 −7 M melatonin +10 −7 M luzindole (an inhibitor of both melatonin receptors). After IVM oocytes were assessed for ROS levels, mitochondrial activity, adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP) concentration and relative gene expression ( ACTB, SLC1A1, SOD1, GPx1, BAX, DNMT1, GCLC and GDF9 ). IVM‐oocytes were in vitro fertilized and cultured under conventional conditions. Blastocyst rate and quality (differential cell count) were assessed at 8 days post‐fertilization. Melatonin decreased ROS levels, increased mitochondrial activity and ATP content and increased blastocyst quality compared to control group (55.8 vs. 30.4 inner cell mass ICM, p < 0.05). There was no effect on the relative gene expression due to treatment with melatonin. In conclusion, we have showed that melatonin improves oocyte developmental competence in juvenile goats by reducing ROS levels and improving mitochondrial activity.
Cultural difference: Can it influence University rankings?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The present global higher educational milieu is typified by its preoccupation with rankings. The inter-connectedness that has resulted from globalization has facilitated methodization of higher education systems the world over. However, there are some important deficiencies of university ranking indexes such as taking into account the whole university as a single unit without differentiating according to different fields of study or research, being limited to some well-known universities, and not considering institutional characteristics such as size or age. This study aims to explore the leading global university rankings to determine the differences in terms of their ranking criteria, main indicators, modeling choices, and the effects of these on the rankings. By using the general method of statistics, we try to analysis the weight difference of the main indicators of the university rankings from a cultural perspective. We considered that the cultural differences fundamentally lead to the deviation of the weight difference of the indicators; constituting the direction deviation from the method and impacting the stability of the rankings from the result.
Cloud effects on evaporation at a sub-tropical site

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Water usage impacts the management of our water resources. It is believed that accurate information on the \nhydrological cycle disseminated to the public, will considerably alter consumer usage behaviour. \nEvapotranspiration is one of the most variable and sensitive of the hydrological components and it is imperative that we fully understand what environmental factors directly or indirectly affect evapotranspiration. The objective of this study was to confirm the indirect affect of clouds on evaporation by examining how clouds affect variables used by the Penman-Monteith equation. As expected, during the day or night it was found that clouds had a negative correlation with solar radiation and temperature, and a positive correlation with humidity all at the earth's surface. There was no significant relationship between wind speed and clouds except during the night. Correlation coefficients, with respect to cloud, for temperature and humidity varied only slightly from day to night, but interestingly wind speed showed a significant change from 0.077 to 0.264. These findings may suggest that there are some occasions when 'water-wise' activities, for example watering the garden at night to decrease potential \nevaporation, may not be as beneficial as previously thought.
Bunker procurement strategies in liner shipping companies : considerations in fuel consumption reduction based on regulatory and technical aspects

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Shipping trade is of great importance as it gets goods to move around globally and internationally. With continual growth of shipping, the need for fuel to move the ships increases as well. Undoubtedly, bunker costs appear to be the greatest expenditure for operating costs, fetching up to almost 60%. Tagged with fluctuating market price, shipping companies are exposed to the risk of making losses as well as benefit from making profits. Nevertheless, this only drives the companies to find ways to reduce fuel consumption and bunker costs. However, shipping contributes to air pollution from the emissions of the ships. Strict regulations are imposed to restrict the emissions for the benefit of the society and environment. Hence, shipping companies would need to consider its impact on their business and operations. Additionally, companies would need to consider if their practices are effective in reducing bunker costs and what other practices can be deemed feasible. Eventually, this report ventures the factors that may affect and prompt considerations that could influence the ways in reducing bunker consumption.
The effect of humidity on probe-sample interactions in near-field scanning optical microscopy

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The shear force damping between a tapered near-field probe and a well-cleaned glass sample depends on the humidity. A slow decay region, up to few hundred Å, appeared in the onset of the damping curves as the humidity increased. This humidity-dependent interaction force is of viscous type and ∼0.1 nN. The frictional coefficient increases faster than the estimation from Newton’s law of viscosity as the probe and sample distance decreases. This is attributed to the enhancement of viscosity in thin water layer.
