Abstract P511: Optimal Blood Pressure Targets Following Successful Revascularization With Mechanical Thrombectomy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background/Objective: Blood pressure parameters for patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are not clearly defined. Prior studies have shown that higher maximum and mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) is associated with adverse outcomes. Our study sought to investigate the relationship of blood pressure on clinical outcomes after successful revascularization and determine optimal thresholds for BP parameters that correlated with a poor functional outcome. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study of 88 consecutive patients who received successful MT at one comprehensive stroke center. Systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure values were recorded for each patient over a 48-hour period, as well as patient age and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Outcome measures included modified Rankin Score (mRS), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and mortality at time of discharge and 90 days. Both univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify associations between the BP covariates and functional outcomes. Results: A higher SBP standard deviation (SD) of >14mmHg (OR=1.150) and wider SBP range >64mmHg (OR=1.037) from the mean in the first 48 hours after successful MT were associated with poor MRS at 90 days. A SBP SD>14 was also associated with mortality at 90 days. A higher age (OR=1.052) and NIHSS (OR=1.096) were also associated with a poor MRS at 90 days. A higher DBP mean (OR=1.045) was associated with a higher rate of hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Conclusions: A higher SBP variability within the first 48 hours after successful MT is associated with a higher likelihood of poor 90-day functional outcome and mortality, and a higher mean DBP is associated with a higher rate of HT.
New approaches and a subjective database for video quality assessment

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Video quality assessment plays an important role in multimedia systems that process digital images/videos such as video codec, video streaming server. The use of video quality assessment algorithm helps optimize system parameters, increase quality of service, and satisfy customers' demands. Traditional method that recruits human subjects to judge video quality often comes with the expense of time, money, and effort while objective method, which uses computer and built-in algorithms to judge video quality, offers a more affordable way. This dissertation report provides an efficient approach to develop objective video quality assessment algorithm.

Playing with 'peng' in Tai-chi Boxing

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

'Peng' (pronounced 'pung'), or 'ward-off,' as it roughly translates, is one ofthe thirteen 'shi' or core postureslprinciples ofthe Chinese meditative, selfhealing and martial art ofTaijiquan (T'ai-chi Ch'uan). This paper describes a particular 'peng' training drill, simply called the 'peng-drill', created by a small group ofTaiji Boxing practitioners in Australia. The analysis draws on the work ofcultural theorist Paul Willis, and recent scholarship within the sociology ofthe body that builds on Willis' work, most notably the work ofAIan Radley. It is argued that 'peng-dril/' evidences a particular opening out ofor 'playing with' the 'objective possibilities' ofTaijiquan as a practice. 'Peng-drill' is depicted as afonn of 'sensuous meaning making'-body-out as it were-through which practitioners generate and conftgure meanings and hence salient body-self-identities, or rather bodily sensibilities: as Taiji practitioners-
The Role of Structural Variation in Adaptation and Evolution of Yeast and Other Fungi

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

Mutations in DNA can be limited to one or a few nucleotides, or encompass larger deletions, insertions, duplications, inversions and translocations that span long stretches of DNA or even full chromosomes. These so-called structural variations (SVs) can alter the gene copy number, modify open reading frames, change regulatory sequences or chromatin structure and thus result in major phenotypic changes. As some of the best-known examples of SV are linked to severe genetic disorders, this type of mutation has traditionally been regarded as negative and of little importance for adaptive evolution. However, the advent of genomic technologies uncovered the ubiquity of SVs even in healthy organisms. Moreover, experimental evolution studies suggest that SV is an important driver of evolution and adaptation to new environments. Here, we provide an overview of the causes and consequences of SV and their role in adaptation, with specific emphasis on fungi since these have proven to be excellent models to study SV.
Ink‐Jet Printing of Electron Donor/Acceptor Blends: Towards Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Summary: We illustrate the ink‐jet printing of a thin‐film library of donor/acceptor systems useful in bulk heterojunction solar cells and their characterization utilizing a UV‐vis/fluorescence plate reader and an optical profilometer. In addition, the morphology of the films has been examined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The ink‐jet processing technology allows printing of arrays of different donor/acceptor compositions on one substrate as well as the subsequent fast optical screening of the electron transfer processes. The investigated films consist of blends of a poly(methyl methacrylate) polypyridyl ruthenium( II ) copolymer (RuPMMA) as electron donor material ( p ‐type) and C 60 fullerene (PC 60 BM) as well as heptyl viologen (C 7 ‐V) derivatives as electron acceptor materials ( n ‐type).

Correlation between the expression of PRL-R and advancement of breast cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation between the expression of PRL-R and the advancement of breast cancer, and furthermore analyze it’s potential confusing factors. METHODS: The expression of PRL-R was detected in primarily tumor paraffin blocks of 130 female breast cancer patients through the immunohistochemical method and the correlation between the expression of PRL-R and the main progressive-indicators including tumor size, axillary node metastasis and pTNM phase was analysed. RESULTS: When the main progressive-indicators above-mentioned were devided into three grades (level 1-level 3)according their progressive levels, the same regular patterns were found: the expressions of PRL-R were greater in level 2 patients than those in level 1 patients (76.3% vs 55.3%, 83.3% vs 61.7% and 76.2% vs 45.0% respectively,all P0.05), but there was no difference between the expressions of PRL-R in level 3 and level 2 patients (all P0.05). Moreover, the differences between the expressions of PRL-R in level 1 patients and level 2 patients could only be seen in ER negative stratification(70.3% vs 38.9%、85.7% vs 42.9% and 66.7% vs 27.3% respectively,all P0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In relative early stage of the disease, the positive expression of PRL-R in primarily tumor is promoting together with the progression of breast cancer. The progressive state of tumor and the expression of ER are two factors confusing the correlation between the expression of PRL-R and the advancememt of breast cancer.
"isaiah Saw His Glory": The Use of Isaiah 52-53 in John 12

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The influence of Isaiah on John's narrative and theology has long been recognized, but it has yet to receive monograph-length attention. This study is a beginning attempt to fill that void through an examination of the use of Isaiah in the crucial hinge of John's gospel - John 12:1-43. Beginning with a reading of Isaiah 40-55 illustrating a way in which early Christians may have read this important section of Scripture, the bulk of the study examines the pericopes in John 12:1-43, seeking to identify and interpret John's use of Isaiah 52-53. It is concluded that a reading of this well-known Isaianic text rooted within its broader context in Isaiah, together with the mediating influence of other texts - notably Isa 6:9-10 and Zech 9:9-10 - has fueled much Johannine theology, Christology, and ecclesiology. Moreover, mirroring the progression of Isa 52:7-53:1 in John 12 is the author's way of underlining Jesus' identity as the Servant of God and announcing that the second exodus prophesied by Isaiah is secured by the rejection (and death) of Jesus.
Stowaways in imported horticultural plants: alien and invasive species - assessing their bioclimatic potential in Norway

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Dispersal of alien species, plant pests and other organisms through trade with living plants and plant parts increases with globalisation. Every year a significant amount of horticultural plants for use in urban landscapes and private gardens are imported to Norway from several other European countries. The last decade the amount of such import to Norway has doubled, while the resources allocated for phytosanitary control of this goods on arrival has not had a similar development. Trees and bushes for outdoor use pose a special risk for carrying unwanted stowaways since they are mostly produced outdoors in the export country and are in addition frequently exported with a lump of soil from the production site. After arrival in Norway the plants are dispersed quickly to all parts of the country where they are sold to private and official buyers. The quick handling of this material makes it easy for an organism to stay alive and have the opportunity to establish in the new environment. A study was carried out in 2006 to aiming to find out more about this trade, particularly emphasizing on identifying species of insects and arachnids that were suspected to pass through the national control system. Mattilsynet, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, is the National Plant Protection Organization of Norway, and perform random sampling of imported plant commodities of this type. Unfortunately, there is practically no surveillance on the introduction of species that are not on the quarantine pest list, and the standard control routines fail in detecting and rejecting plant commodities that contain non-quarantine species. In this study it was mainly searched for insects and arachnids, but snails and slugs, millipedes and other organisms were also found. The plant species sampled were mostly conifers, of which Thuja sp. and Taxus sp. were the majority. Conifers turned out to be excellent in providing shelter and hiding places for small organisms. Three sampling methods were used: 1. Shaking method, 2. Visual observation and 3. Sampling of the compost fallen off the consignments during the transport. The last method added most species to the list. In only six samples of compost investigated as much as 93 different species were identified. During a short period of sampling 1193 individuals were collected travelling as stowaways mainly from Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands. 156 species were identified and additional 26 organisms were identified to the genus level.
Micronuclei in the Bone Marrow Cells of Rodents

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The micronucleus assay is one of the genotoxicity assays used to detect chromosomal aberration induction in vivo. Rodent micronucleus assay using erythropoietic cells has been used most widely for chemical safety in the risk assessment of human health. In this chapter, we will discuss the mechanism of micronucleus formation from chromosomal aberrations, methodology of the assay, evaluation and interpretation of the assay results, modification of the standard assay, namely in target tissues other than the bone marrow, and automation of the assay. We mainly provide rationale for why the rodent micronucleus assay is widely used for regulatory purposes rather than describing the usual textbook or standard operation procedure. We also discuss how to evaluate the assay results and how to interpret the data to determine the human risk of the test chemical.
Business School’s Performance Management System Standards Design

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This paper aims to compare various Performance Management Systems for business school in order to find the strengths of each standard as inputs to design new model of PMS. There are many critical aspects and gaps notified for new model to improve performance and even recognized that self evaluation performance management is not well developed in school toward a competitive education market. The exploratory study and comparative study methodology were used to develop a conceptual model based upon literature review. An exploratory study approach was used to investigate the way in which PMS actually evolve within business school institution, while comparative study was done to determine relationship among PMS based on literature review and secondary data. Based on information gathered about several standards applied for business school, hopefully, there will be a valuable opportunity to create new PMS model that could cover every weaknesses and strengths that each standard had, and the new model will manage business school performance more comprehensively as well.
Comprehensive Photokinetic and NMR Study of a Biphotochromic Supermolecule Involving Two Naphthopyrans Linked to a Central Thiophene Unit Through Acetylenic Bonds

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A photophysical and photochemical study of a biphotochromic compound where two naphthopyran units are linked by an acetylene–thiophene–acetylene bridge has been carried out in toluene. Both fluorescence and intersystem crossing to the triplet manifold were found to compete with the photocoloration process. Two photoproducts (transoid-trans and transoid-cis stereoisomers), absorbing at ∼480 nm and corresponding to the opening of a single photochromic unit, were detected by spectrophotometric analysis after short irradiation time in diluted solution and identified by 1H–nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. After prolonged irradiation at 228 K of highly concentrated solutions (up to 3 × 10−3 mol dm−3), two additional isomers, absorbing at ∼550 nm, were formed. Their NMR spectra indicate the opening of both photochromic units. An interesting effect of selective vibronic excitation was found, showing that the photoreaction is favored at excited vibronic levels to the detriment of the radiative relaxation.
The Warm-Up Menu for Musicians: Strategies and a toolbox for achieving a healthy body-mind state for practicing and performing.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Warm-up routines are essential for preventing injuries and enhancing performance, not only for athletes but also for musicians. While technical exercises like scales are common, physical and mental preparation is often overlooked. Research shows that musicians experience a high incidence of injuries, yet many neglect a comprehensive warm-up that includes both physical and mental aspects. This study explores the importance of incorporating a warm-up routine that goes beyond the instrument itself. It introduces a "warm-up menu" that allows musicians to select exercises based on available time, integrating disciplines and techniques such as Yoga, Body Mapping, Flow, and Imagery, while also highlighting the significance of Core engagement for musicians. These practices enhance body awareness, reduce tension, and promote overall well-being, ultimately helping to prevent injuries. The research combines a literature review, expert interviews, and a case study in which three musicians experimented with different warm-up routines over a week, reflecting on their experiences and the impact on their performance and physical condition. Findings suggest that incorporating non-instrumental warm-ups, especially those influenced by Yoga, can reduce tension, improve posture, and enhance performance while lowering injury risks. Experts, including musicians, psychologists, and physiotherapists, confirmed these benefits but emphasized that warm-ups should be part of a broader injury prevention approach. This study provides initial insights into the benefits of holistic warm-ups and encourages further research. By understanding and implementing better warm-up strategies, musicians can cultivate a more sustainable and healthy career. keywords: warm-up, creative practice, physical and mental training for musicians, Body awareness, core, Injury prevention, case study, Musical Training Performance &amp; Cognition

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

An efficient method for α-amidation of heterocyclic moieties via direct nitrene insertion catalyzed by iron(III)trifluoromethanesulfonate with PhI=NTs (Ts = p-toluenesulfonyl)as a nitrogen source is reported herein. This reaction was shown to be applicable to cyclic ethers, cyclic thioethers, and pyrrolidines to afford the α-amino products in moderate to excellent yields. These amidated compounds were also shown to readily undergo nucleophilic ring opening to give amino alcohols, amino thiols, and diamino products in moderate to excellent yields.
How does climate change interrupt defense response signalling between and within plants? : literature review

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Die Abwehrreaktion breitet sich schnell innerhalb einer Pflanze aus und löst aufgrund molekularer Signalwege eine protektive Antwort aus. Flüchtige und unterirdische Abwehrsignale können auch von benachbarten Pflanzen wahrgenommen werden, die daraufhin ihre Abwehrkräfte in Vorbereitung auf eine mögliche Bedrohung aktivieren. Darüber hinaus können flüchtige Abwehrsignale Antagonisten von pflanzenfressenden Insekten innerhalb des Ökosystems anlocken. Daher spielen diese verteidigungsbezogenen molekularen Signalwege eine Rolle bei der Aufrechterhaltung der Widerstandsfähigkeit und Funktionalität des Ökosystems. Die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf die Ökosystemfunktionalität wurden in der Regel in der Makroökologie und nicht in der Molekularbiologie untersucht. Eine wichtige Frage in der Waldökologie ist: "Wie wird der Klimawandel die Abwehrreaktion der Pflanzen und damit die Ökosystemfunktionalität beeinflussen?". Um diese Frage zu beantworten, müssen Verteidigungs-bezogene molekulare Signalwege untersucht werden. In dieser Masterarbeit wird das aktuelle Wissen über molekulare Signale in der Abwehrreaktion innerhalb und zwischen Pflanzen untersucht und diese Informationen mit den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf verteidigungsbezogene molekulare Signalwege kombiniert. Außerdem werden Implikationen für die Resilienz und Funktionalität von Ökosystemen diskutiert.

Impact of Economic Growth and Energy Consumption on Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Testing Environmental Curves Hypotheses on EU Countries

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

This study analyses the relationship between per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, gross domestic product, gross inland energy consumption, and renewable energy consumption for a panel of 28 countries of European Union in the period 1990–2016. Two theoretical models, a quadratic and a cubic one, are used to estimate the shape of the environmental curve and to test the Kuznets hypothesis. The panel cointegration approach proved the existence of long-run equilibrium relations among the four macroeconomic indicators. Empirical estimations, using panel data techniques, as well as heterogeneous regression for each individual country in the panel, show non-conclusive evidence for the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis. The least square estimates, with the variables in log per capita form, reveal that the inverted U-shaped EKC hypothesis is verified for the panel and for 17 of the 28 EU countries. Estimates of the cubic model show that the environmental curve has an inverted N-shaped form. These results do not hold when the values are in non-logarithmic form. In addition, the estimations for all models show that an increase of gross energy consumption leads to an increase of GHGs, while an increase of renewable energy consumption leads to a reduction in GHG emissions.
A novel approach to training verbs in two individuals with chronic aphasia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A novel intervention for the rehabilitation of verb naming disorders was applied to two individuals with chronic aphasia. This intervention examined the effectiveness of intensive implicit semantic training for improving verb production. This was done without the requirement of an overt response. Implicit interventions, such as these, practiced without overt speech, can improve verbal output, hypothetically through activation of the interrelated semantic, lexical and phonological networks known to underlie word production. For the individuals with aphasia and apraxia of speech, implicit therapy has the advantage of reducing production error and the associated effects of reinforcing the neural circuits that are activated while producing errors. Prior work has shown that error-reducing training can improve naming and discourse and these results were accompanied by increased activation of the left inferior frontal cortex during verb generation tasks as measured by fMRI (Davis, Harrington & Baynes, 2006). The use of a similar approach, implicit phoneme manipulation to treat apraxia of speech, also improved speech production at the word level (Davis, Farias, & Baynes, 2008).
