Antiphospholipid antibodies associated with alcoholic liver disease specifically recognise oxidised phospholipids

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND Circulating antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are often detected in patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) but little is known about the causes of their formation. AIMS We have evaluated whether ethanol mediated oxidative injury might promote the development of aPL in ALD. PATIENTS AND METHODS IgG against β 2 glycoprotein 1 (β 2 -GP1), cardiolipin, and human serum albumin (HSA) complexed with either oxidised arachidonic acid (HSA-APP) or malondialdehyde (HSA-MDA) were assayed by ELISA in heavy drinkers with or without ALD and in healthy subjects. RESULTS Circulating IgG recognising cardiolipin were significantly higher in ALD patients than in controls. However, anticardiolipin reactivity of ALD sera was only evident using, as the antigen, oxidised cardiolipin but not oxidation protected cardiolipin. In ALD patients, individual values of IgG antioxidised cardiolipin were associated with the titres of antibodies against HSA-MDA and HSA-APP ( r =0.68 and 0.72, respectively; p<0.0001) used as markers of oxidative stress. ALD patients also displayed increased levels of antibodies against phospholipid binding protein β 2 -GP1, and individual reactivity towards oxidised cardiolipin and β 2 -GP1 were highly correlated ( r =0.85; p<0.0001). IgG binding to oxidised cardiolipin, HSA-MDA, and HSA-APP was also significantly higher in β 2 -GP1 positive than in β 2 -GP1 negative sera. However, preadsorption of β 2 -GP1 positive sera on β 2 -GP1 coated ELISA plates reduced reactivity to oxidised cardiolipin by 80%, without affecting that to HSA-APP or HSA-MDA. CONCLUSIONS Ethanol induced oxidative injury is associated with the development of antibodies targeting complexes between oxidised cardiolipin and β 2 -GP1. These antibodies might account for high aPL titres observed in patients with severe ALD.
Dynamic properties of composite cemented clay.

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this work, the dynamic properties of composite cemented clay under a wide range of strains were studied considering the effect of different mixing ratio and the change of confining pressures through dynamic triaxial test. A simple and practical method to estimate the dynamic elastic modulus and damping ratio is proposed in this paper and a related empirical normalized formula is also presented. The results provide useful guidelines for preliminary estimation of cement requirements to improve the dynamic properties of clays.

An Educational Game with Dragons’ Den Experiences for Supply Chain Management Training

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This article presents an educational game to engage university and industrial stakeholders in collaborative training for supply chain management courses. The game will help students learn complex supply chain management issues. There are two integrated parts: a case ethod through an industrial case and an activity-based game featuring role plays based on international television shows such as Dragons’ Den in Canada or Shark Tank in the United States. We developed a game framework to illustrate how the game can be prepared and played in classrooms. Although the game is primarily developed for classroom teaching, it may be adapted to other training environments. We have provided two examples to demonstrate how the game can be played as a short game in conference environments. Game experiences and feedback are presented with comments from various game participants. By interacting with stakeholders and tackling a real-world business case, students can better understand stakeholders’ business goals, the importance of supply chain collaboration, and the impacts on supply chain decisions.
Structural transition of LiBeH3 under high pressure

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

LiBeH3 has been considered as a solid-state hydrogen storage material. This study investigated Pnma orthorhombic phase of LiBeH3 under pressure. Ab initio constant pressure molecular dynamic simulation under pressure was adopted. The results depicted a phase transition from Pnma orthorhombic phase to P21/m monoclinic phase at 270 GPa simulation pressure. The stability of each phase was examined using elastic constants. Based on the well-known Born stability criteria, both phases showed mechanical stability. Several moduli have been computed via elastic constants. The B/G ratios, Cauchy pressures and Poisson’s ratios investigation revealed that LiBeH3 is brittle at Pnma phase whereas it is ductile at P21/m phase. The electronic band structures and partial and total density of states of phases were also obtained. A 2.058 eV band gap was seen for Pnma phase, and 3 eV band gap was seen for P21/m phase.
Rural Flies in the Urban Environment

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Because metropolitan areas in the United States have been expanding at a dramatic rate, there has been direct competition between rural and urban interests for land. Also, market pressures often make it most profitable for meat producers to locate as close to urban centers as possible. A resultant growing interface between rural and urban centers, coupled with inadequate understanding of the people between the two centers, provides a potential for problems to develop. This book generally summarizes one area of contention - flies: few people tolerate flies in any setting anymore.
Standard siren cosmology in the era of the 2.5-generation ground-based gravitational wave detectors: bright and dark sirens of LIGO Voyager and NEMO

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The 2.5-generation (2.5G) ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors LIGO Voyager and NEMO are expected to be operational in the late 2020s and early 2030s. In this work, we explore the potential of GW standard sirens observed by the 2.5G GW detectors in measuring cosmological parameters, especially for the Hubble constant. Using GWs to measure cosmological parameters is inherently challenging, especially for 2.5G detectors, given their limited capability, which results in weaker constraints on cosmological parameters from the detected standard sirens. However, the measurement of the Hubble constant using standard siren observations from Voyager and NEMO is still promising. For example, using bright sirens from Voyager and NEMO can measure the Hubble constant with a precision of about 2% and 6% respectively, and using the Voyager-NEMO network can improve the precision to about 1.6%. Moreover, bright sirens can be used to break the degeneracy of cosmological parameters generated by CMB data, and to a certain extent, 2.5G detectors can also play a role in this aspect. Observations of dark sirens by 2.5G detectors can achieve relatively good results in measuring the Hubble constant, with a precision of within 2%, and if combining observations of bright and dark sirens, the precision of the Hubble constant measurement can reach about 1.4%. Finally, we also discussed the impact of the uncertainty in the binary neutron star merger rate on the estimation of cosmological parameters. We conclude that the magnificent prospect for solving the Hubble tension is worth expecting in the era of the 2.5G ground-based GW detectors.
Two-Phase Object-Based Deep Learning for Multi-Temporal SAR Image Change Detection

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Change detection is one of the fundamental applications of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. However, speckle noise presented in SAR images has a negative effect on change detection, leading to frequent false alarms in the mapping products. In this research, a novel two-phase object-based deep learning approach is proposed for multi-temporal SAR image change detection. Compared with traditional methods, the proposed approach brings two main innovations. One is to classify all pixels into three categories rather than two categories: unchanged pixels, changed pixels caused by strong speckle (false changes), and changed pixels formed by real terrain variation (real changes). The other is to group neighbouring pixels into superpixel objects such as to exploit local spatial context. Two phases are designed in the methodology: (1) Generate objects based on the simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) algorithm, and discriminate these objects into changed and unchanged classes using fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering and a deep PCANet. The prediction of this Phase is the set of changed and unchanged superpixels. (2) Deep learning on the pixel sets over the changed superpixels only, obtained in the first phase, to discriminate real changes from false changes. SLIC is employed again to achieve new superpixels in the second phase. Low rank and sparse decomposition are applied to these new superpixels to suppress speckle noise significantly. A further clustering step is applied to these new superpixels via FCM. A new PCANet is then trained to classify two kinds of changed superpixels to achieve the final change maps. Numerical experiments demonstrate that, compared with benchmark methods, the proposed approach can distinguish real changes from false changes effectively with significantly reduced false alarm rates, and achieve up to 99.71% change detection accuracy using multi-temporal SAR imagery.

Dynamic spatial spillover effects of financial agglomeration on CO2 emissions: the case of China

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Research on the impact of financial agglomeration on CO2 emissions is a vital avenue for advancing CO2 emissions reduction and aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals set forth by the United Nations. However, few studies have investigated the dynamic spatial spillover effect of financial agglomeration on CO2 emissions, and the concepts of “time inertia” and “spatial spillover effect” about CO2 emissions have received limited attention. To address this gap, we used provincial panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2006 to 2019. We employed the entropy method to measure the level of financial accumulation, constructed a dynamic spatial Durbin model, and analyzed the “time inertia” and “spatial spillover effects” of CO2 dioxide emissions in Chinese provinces. Additionally, we explored the dynamic spatial spillover effects of financial agglomeration on CO2 emissions. We examined the transmission mechanism of the impact of financial agglomeration on CO2 emissions through energy consumption and technology market development. The results show that CO2 emissions exhibit significant “time inertia” and “space spillover” effects and considerable regional differences. Financial agglomeration levels positively impact reducing CO2 emissions in the short and long term. Through two intermediary paths of energy consumption and technology market development, financial agglomeration can indirectly reduce CO2 emissions. Our research effectively provides information and serves as a decision-making reference for policy planning related to CO2 emissions reduction, especially in countries with high CO2 emissions, particularly developing nations.
Domestic Recent Works on Robotic System for Safety of Nuclear Power Plants

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The importance of safety and emergency preparedness of nuclear power plants (NPPs) has been increasingly emphasized since the Fukushima accident. Recently, the Nuclear Robot and Diagnosis Team at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) initiated research on an unmanned emergency response robotics system. The objective of the research was to provide a practical means that countermeasure the initial accident stages of NPPs. Considering that the robotic systems that tried to mitigate the damage caused by the Fukushima accident did not work adequately, the robotic system to be developed should be tested in the testbed simulating the accident site of NPPs. In this paper, the recent domestic works on a robotic system for the safety of NPP were introduced.
Study of the Potential of Educational Transfer from Grandchild to Grandparent, from the Child‟s Perspective and Agency, in a School Environment

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This research acknowledges the ability of children to be active in their own learning and could promote opportunities for life-long and life-wide learning by offering school-based Intergenerational Learning Programmes. The main aim of this study was to develop a pilot intergenerational lesson with children, aged 10 to 12 years old, to enable the educational transfer of knowledge and skills from children to their grandparents or other older people in a school setting. Using the Irish Primary School‘s SPHE Curriculum as a source, the project-based research was informed, firstly, by the theories of Piaget, Vygotsky and Rogoff, and secondly, by the perspectives of the co-researchers through the use of interpretive methodology. The primary intention was to enable the children to have their voices heard, learn new skills and benefit from the confidence the process could offer them by their active participation in Educational Action Research. A mixed-method approach was employed with qualitative data, obtained from focus groups, and quantitative data collection, facilitated by a web-based questionnaire to allow for transferability.\nThe researcher posits that this study has contributed to the enhancement of skills and self-esteem of the co-researchers, as evidenced by the information obtained from the assessment of learning and project evaluation, undertaken by the children. The findings of this study indicate that there is support among children, grandparents and other older people for the development of an IG pilot lesson from a child‘s perspective and agency. This project-based initiative has developed a process, which unlike many IG projects to date, has significant involvement of children and has focused on active learning in the context of relationships.\nThe pilot lesson and website are currently a work in progress and will benefit from the on-going process of Educational Action Research. Any suggestions which enhance the skills and self-esteem of children and contribute to opportunities for life-long learning for older people are welcome through the designated pilot website www.handshakeie.weebly.com.
Comparison of traditional and next-generation oral anticoagulants in the etiology of epistaxis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background/Aim: There is a dearth of studies addressing the effects of next-generation anticoagulants on epistaxis. The aim of this investigation was to determine whether there are any differences between traditional and next-generation anticoagulants in the etiology of epistaxis. Methods: This retrospective cohort study focused on a total of 7,110 individuals (3,278 females (46.1%) and 3,832 males (53.9%)) diagnosed with epistaxis between 2018 and 2022; the mean age of the patients was 37.7 years. Patient data (age, gender, outpatient and inpatient treatments, relevant laboratory parameters, and treatment evidence) were retrospectively reviewed from a hospital database. The severity of epistaxis was assessed based on treatment notes. Patients with hypertension and those undergoing antiaggregant therapy were excluded from the study. International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes from the automated system were examined retrospectively. The data were used to establish three patient groups: the first group consisted of individuals taking next-generation oral anticoagulants, the second group consisted of individuals taking traditional oral anticoagulants, and the third group consisted of healthy controls. Results: We found statistically significant differences among the groups in terms of age, the severity of epistaxis, the treatment modality, and laboratory findings (P<0.001); no statistically significant difference was found in terms of gender (P=0.954). Group 2 contained the largest number of hospitalized patients and patients with severe active nosebleeds. Conclusion: Next-generation anticoagulants are more reliable than traditional anticoagulants in terms of the severity of epistaxis, the need for hospitalization, and laboratory results.
Intraoperative Parathyroid Hormone Assay

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives The aims were to: (1) evaluate whether failure of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) to decrease by the Miami criterion is a more specific indicator of multiglandular disease (MGD) than sestamibi scan and (2) determine an adequate cutoff value for decrease in ioPTH in MGD. Study Design Case series with chart review. Setting Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center–Shreveport. Subjects and Methods Review of subjects undergoing parathyroidectomy using ioPTH and sestamibi for suspected parathyroid adenoma between 2005 and 2009. Patients with MGD were identified by pathology and operative reports. Results Eighty‐three subjects were identified (68 single adenomas, 11 double adenomas, and 4 multiple‐gland hyperplasias). Sestamibi predicted MGD in only 4 of 15 cases (27%). Five of the 11 double adenomas (DAs) were identified during initial surgery; the rest required reoperation for cure. ioPTH was useful in predicting MGD in 7 of 10 cases (70%) when a postexcisional value was drawn after removal of the first enlarged gland. Using the Miami criterion of 50% decrease in ioPTH over 15 minutes would have resulted in 1 unnecessary neck exploration and 3 missed DAs. Requiring both a 50% decrease in ioPTH over 15 minutes and normalization of the postexcisional value would have missed only 1 DA and resulted in a single unnecessary neck exploration. Conclusion Sestamibi alone fails to identify MGD 73% of the time, but the success rate increases significantly when combined with ioPTH. The “50% and normal” criterion worked best to increase the success rate in our study population, but larger trials are needed to confirm the utility of this criterion.
