Association of decreased sex hormone binding globulin and cardiovascular risk factors.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Sex hormones play a major role in determining the risk of cardiovascular disease. While earlier studies have shown that reduced sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is associated with increased glucose and insulin concentrations in premenopausal women, few data exist on the relationship of SHBG to other cardiovascular risk factors in women. We hypothesized that decreased SHBG would be associated with an atherogenic pattern of cardiovascular risk factors. We measured total testosterone, total estradiol and SHBG, lipids and lipoproteins, glucose and insulin, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure in 96 premenopausal women. Although total testosterone and total estradiol were not related to cardiovascular risk factors, SHBG was negatively associated with triglyceride concentration (r = -0.37) and positively associated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) (r = 0.42). After adjustment for overall adiposity (body mass index) and upper body adiposity (as measured by the ratio of waist-to-hip circumferences), SHBG was still positively related to HDLC, but not to triglyceride. Adjustment for insulin abolished the relationship between SHBG and triglyceride levels, but did not alter the relationship between SHBG and HDLC. Sex hormones were not related to either systolic or diastolic blood pressure.
Eimeria southwelliInfection Associated with High Mortality of Cownose Rays

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

The coccidian Eimeria southwelli is associated with chronic fatal disease in captive cownose rays Rhinoptera bonasus. Clinical signs include discoloration of the epidermis, emaciation, coelomic cavity distention, and death. The oocysts can be demonstrated in coelomic fluid obtained by coelomic aspiration. Prevalence of E. southwelli in wild cownose rays was 92% in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, USA. Recommended management practices include strict quarantine and screening by using coelomic cavity aspirate sampling. A dosage of 10 mg toltrazuril/kg orally once a day for 5 d reduces but may not eliminate parasitic loads.
Spatial Analysis of Petroleum Filling Stations’ Compliance to Regulatory Standards in Bauchi Metropolis, Nigeria

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Nigeria is the most populous country in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) with a population of about 250 million people. Bauchi metropolis has witnessed great changes in recent years, in terms of population growth and rapid urbanization. This study aims to assess the level of compliance of petrol filling stations in Bauchi metropolis to the standards of the Department of Petroleum Resources [DPR] (2007) and Bauchi State Development Board [BSDB] (2012) guidelines. Field survey, Grid3 portal and Global positioning system (GPS) were the research instruments used for the study. ArcGIS 10.8 was used to carry out the analysis using the Buffer and Near analyses. The results indicated that the distribution pattern of the filling stations is clustered. The study found out that only 33.63% of the stations violated the criterion of a 15-meter minimum distance from the road while the rest fulfilled that requirement. However, 11.81% of the stations met a minimum distance of 400 meters from their nearest neighbors, while 88.18% failed to achieve the minimum distance of 400 meters. The study also revealed that only 3.63% met the requirement of not more than four stations within a 2 Km radius. Based on the findings of this research, the study recommends that the DPR and the BSUDB should create a database for filling stations in Bauchi Metropolis.
Multi channel wave transfer in sparsely connected systems

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Wave transport in finite systems connected through multiple channels is strongly influenced by inter channel correlations. Such correlations are induced by scattering and restrictions in the complex medium in which the waves propagate. Examples can be found in electron conduction in mesoscopic systems with multiple leads and in electromagnetic wave transfer in multi-antenna wireless communication. The influence of the correlations on the overall wave transport can be uncovered by analyzing the eigenvalue distributions of the transfer matrix between the ingoing and outgoing channels. A model system is studied experimentally in the microwave region where the correlation between sets of transmitting and receiving antennas are induced by connecting complex cavities through a limited number of leads. The eigenvalue distribution of this correlated multi channel system is described using random matrix theory.
Overexploitation, Recovery, and Warming of the Barents Sea Ecosystem During 1950–2013

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The Barents Sea (BS) is a high-latitude shelf ecosystem with important fisheries, high and historically variable harvesting pressure, and ongoing high variability in climatic conditions. To quantify carbon flow pathways and assess if changes in harvesting intensity and climate variability have affected the BS ecosystem, we modeled the ecosystem for the period 1950–2013 using a highly trophically resolved mass-balanced food web model (Ecopath with Ecosim). Ecosim models were fitted to time series of biomasses and catches, and were forced by environmental variables and fisheries mortality. The effects on ecosystem dynamics by the drivers fishing mortality, primary production proxies related to open-water area and capelin-larvae mortality proxy, were evaluated. During the period 1970–1990, the ecosystem was in a phase of overexploitation with low top-predators’ biomasses and some trophic cascade effects and increases in prey stocks. Despite heavy exploitation of some groups, the basic ecosystem structure seems to have been preserved. After 1990, when the harvesting pressure was relaxed, most exploited boreal groups recovered with increased biomass, well-captured by the fitted Ecosim model. These biomass increases were likely driven by an increase in primary production resulting from warming and a decrease in ice-coverage. During the warm period that started about 1995, some unexploited Arctic groups decreased whereas krill and jellyfish groups increased. Only the latter trend was successfully predicted by the Ecosim model. The krill flow pathway was identified as especially important as it supplied both medium and high trophic level compartments, and this pathway became even more important after ca. 2000. The modeling results revealed complex interplay between fishery and variability of lower trophic level groups that differs between the boreal and arctic functional groups and has importance for ecosystem management.
Malformations of the inner auditory canal.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Malformations of the internal auditory meatus (I.A.M.) are often accompanied by other radiological abnormalities affecting the entire inner ear. In our series of cases we demonstrate solitary deformities of the IAM ranging from the stenosis of the canal (4 cases) to extreme narrowing (2 cases) or complete atresia. Another anomaly is the presence of a thick bony wall dividing the canal in two separate compartments, superior and inferior (3 cases). Most of the cases of solitary malformations were unilateral; they can be diagnosed at any age, considering that the patient has normal hearing in the opposite ear. When the malformation of the IAM occurs, associated with major deformities of the labyrinth (5 cases), we found an abnormal communication of CSF to the tympanic cavity, due to a severe anomaly of the fundus of the IAM. Meningitis is a frequent complication in patients with this abnormality.

SERUM ALPHA FETOPROTEIN, A SURROGATE MARKER FOR LIVER DISEASE PROGRESSION IN CHRONIC HEPATITIS C.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is a commonly used marker in the screening for hepatocellular carcinoma. This study aims to evaluate the value of AFP as an early predictor of the evolution of chronic hepatitis C. In a retrospective study on 116 HCV-infected patients (62.9% females, mean age 49.13 ± 1.73 years), increased levels of serum AFP (> 7 ng/mL) were found in 39.7% of cases. High serum AFP levels were more frequently detected in older patients and in those with severe fibrosis and cirrhosis (62.2% and 76.9% respectively vs. 11.6% in those without significant fibrosis, p = 0.0001). Increased AFP levels were significantly associated with markers of hepatic cytolysis (ALT- r = 0.245, p = 0.009 and AST r = 0.441, p = 0.0001) and cholestasis (GGT level-r = 0.947, p = 0.000 1), but not with HCV viral load. A predictive model based on AFP level and routinely monitored biochemical markers of liver fibrosis and necroinflammatory activity can be a useful clinical tool in chronic HCV infection.

Characterization of Shigella flexneri in Northern Vietnam in 2012 –2016

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

ntroduction: Shigellosis remains a considerable public health concern in developing countries. Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei are prevalent worldwide and S. sonnei has been replacing S. flexneri. Gap Statement: S. flexneri still causes outbreaks in Northern Vietnam and limited information is available on its genetic characteristics. Aim: This study aimed to characterize the genetic characteristics of S. flexneri strains from Northern Vietnam. Methodology: This study used 17 isolates from eight incidents, collected in Northern Vietnam between 2012 and 2016. The samples were subjected to whole genome sequencing (WGS), molecular serotyping, cluster analysis, and identification of antimicrobial resistance genes. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis was performed including isolates from previous studies. Results: Clusters were identified according to spatiotemporal backgrounds. The results suggested that two incidents in Yen Bai province in 2015 and 2016 were derived from a very recent common ancestor. All isolates belonged to phylogroup (PG) 3, which was divided into two sub-lineages. Thirteen of 17 isolates, including those from the Yen Bai incidents, belonged to sub-lineage Sub-1 and were serotyped as 1a. The remaining four isolates belonged to sub-lineage Sub-2 and were the globally predominant serotype 2a. The Sub-1 S. flexneri isolates possessed the gtrI gene, which encodes the glycosyl transferase that determines serotype 1a, with bacteriophage elements in the vicinity. Conclusion: This study revealed two PG3 sub-lineages of S. flexneri in Northern Vietnam, of which Sub-1 might be specific to the region.
Vibration decoupling system for massive bolometers in dry cryostats

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Pulse-tube based dilution refrigerators are massively employed in low temperature physics. They allow to reduce the running costs and to be operated with unprecedented easiness. However, the main drawback of this technology is the mechanical vibrations induced by the pulse-tube cryocooler. These perturbations can cause extra-noises drastically affecting the detector performance. In this paper, we propose a solution to mitigate the impact of these vibrations by mounting the detectors in an elastic-pendulum based suspended tower. Based on vibration modeling and experimental tests, we show that the vibration levels are attenuated by up to two orders of magnitude at most frequencies, especially above $\sim20$ Hz, for both vertical and radial directions. Thanks to this passive isolation solution, vibration levels, both along vertical and radial directions, below 1 $μ\textrm{g/}\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$ in the frequency range [1-1000] Hz are obtained. This provides a convenient environment to test the ultimate performance of low temperature detectors. As a result, we report an improvement by one to two orders of magnitude on the noise levels of massive cryogenic bolometers, leading to thermal energy resolutions improved by a factor 5 to 40. Finally, we conclude that the energy resolution of our cryogenic bolometers are no longer limited from any residual vibrations, hence allowing the perspective of further improving our bolometer performance in the context of low-mass dark matter searches and neutrino physics applications.
The degree of differentiability of the regularization of simultaneous binary collisions in someN-body problems

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Simultaneous binary collisions in the four-body problem are studied in the cases which reduce to one-dimensional problems: the collinear, bi-isosceles and trapezoidal cases and the tetrahedron problem, some of them requiring certain symmetries of the masses. It is shown that in all of these cases the regularization is differentiable but the map passing from initial to final conditions (in some suitable transversal sections) is exactly C8/3. Then the result is extended to other symmetric N-body problems.
No Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein Effect in Maximal Mixing

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We investigate the possible influence of the MSW effect on the expectations for the solar neutrino experiments in the maximal mixing scenario suggested by the atmospheric neutrino data. A direct numerical calculation of matter induced effects in the Sun shows that the naive vacuum predictions are left completely undisturbed in the particular case of maximal mixing, so that the MSW effect turns out to be unobservable. We give a qualitative explanation of this result.

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

In rensent years, the constantly shrinking of Ebinur seriously affects the ecological environment of the lake basion. The main way to improve the environment is to ensure adequate ecological water requirement, while lake evaporation is one of the key factors. The paper calculated the lake evaporation below the elevation of 195 meters based on the surveying data of Alashankou and Jinghe weather stations, which provides a scientific basis for predominating the optimally running water level of Ebinur.
DIGITALIZATION OF LABOR-LAW RELATIONS: BASIC PROVISIONS AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The updated national goals of development of the Russian Federation for the period till 2030 and on perspective till 2036, approved by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 07.05.2024 No. 309, contain the most important directions of further development of our country, including such areas as: technological leadership, digital transformation of public and municipal administration, economy and social sphere involving automation of the most part of transactions within uniform sectoral digital platforms and data-based management model taking into account the accelerated implementation of big data processing technologies, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Achievement of these goals, defined by the Russian President as fundamental for the modern development of the state and systems of public administration bodies, is impossible without strategic development of the branch of labor law. The basis for achieving these national development goals is the development of a trinity of directions: digitalization of labor law relations - expansion of the use of artificial intelligence in the field of labor and employment - development of new forms of employment, such as remote work and platform employment. The goal of digitalization of labor relations is to increase efficiency, optimize resources, improve communication and ensure more flexible and transparent personnel management. As part of the digitalization of labor relations, companies apply various tools and technologies such as electronic HR management systems, online-platforms for recruiting and manpower planning, automated systems of control of working hours, virtual workspaces and other digital solutions. New digital solutions in HR management can become one of the drivers of development of the Russian economy, allowing for adequate savings for employers. The automation of production, the expansion of hiring remote workers, optimization of the use of artificial intelligence in work processes raise the question of deepening the scientific research of these aspects in labor law.
Topical Anaesthetics in Dentistry

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Is pain-free needle insertion possible? The most widely advocated technique in Dentistry is the use of topical anaesthetics before intra-oral needle insertion. Eutectic Mixture of Local Anaesthetics (EMLA) introduced to reduce the pain associated with venous cannulation and providing surface anaesthetic effect for harvesting skin grafts, was compared with commonly available topical anaesthetics: Lignocaine 2%, Benzocaine 20% and Placebo.The effectiveness was recorded by using Visual analogue scale (VAS),Lickerts’ scale and Sound,Eye,Motor(SEM) scale. It was concluded that Eutectic Mixture of Local Anaesthetics (EMLA) showed the maximum reduction in pain. Hence, EMLA eliminates the pain of intra oral needle insertion as it has a greater depth of penetration,other advantages being rapid penetration of skin and mucosa, effective diffusion through the Keratinized tissue and plasma concentration remaining within safe levels justifies its use as a topical anaesthetic in dentistry especially pediatric dentistry.
Improved artificial origins for phage Φ29 terminal protein-primed replication. Insights into early replication events

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

Abstract The replication machinery of bacteriophage Φ29 is a paradigm for protein-primed replication and it holds great potential for applied purposes. To better understand the early replication events and to find improved origins for DNA amplification based on the Φ29 system, we have studied the end-structure of a double-stranded DNA replication origin. We have observed that the strength of the origin is determined by a combination of factors. The strongest origin (30-fold respect to wt) has the sequence CCC at the 3′ end of the template strand, AAA at the 5′ end of the non-template strand and 6 nucleotides as optimal unpairing at the end of the origin. We also show that the presence of a correctly positioned displaced strand is important because origins with 5′ or 3′ ssDNA regions have very low activity. Most of the effect of the improved origins takes place at the passage between the terminal protein-primed and the DNA-primed modes of replication by the DNA polymerase suggesting the existence of a thermodynamic barrier at that point. We suggest that the template and non-template strands of the origin and the TP/DNA polymerase complex form series of interactions that control the critical start of terminal protein-primed replication.
