Compressive Review on Plant Profile, Ethnomedicinal Uses, Phytochemistry and Pharmacology of Paeonia emodi Royle (Himalayan Paeony)

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Members of the genus Paeonia, which contains well-known ornamentals as well as traditional medicinal plants with a history reaching back over 1500 years, may be found all throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Many of these ethnomedicinal properties have been studied in animal models. It has been listed as a critically endangered plant species. P. emodi has been shown to have antioxidant, nephroprotective, lipoxygenase inhibitory, cognition and oxidative stress release, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antiepileptic, anticonvulsant, haemaglutination, alphachymotrypsin inhibitory, hepatoprotective, hepatic chromes, and pharmacokinetics of carbamazepine expression. spas Data was acquired from unpublished theses (India, China, Pakistan, and Nepal) and numerous published research articles related to pharmacology, phytochemistry, and other activities using certain keywords. The pertinent information about medicinal uses, taxonomic/common names, parts used, collection and recognition source, authentication, voucher specimen number, plant extracts and their characterization, isolation and characterization of phytochemicals, methods of study (in silico, in vivo, or in vitro), model organism used, dose and time, minimal active concentration, bioactive compound(s), mechanism of action on single or multiple targets, and toxicological information. Triterpenoids, monoterpenoids, phenolics, and tannins are among the natural substances produced by the species. The purpose of this study was to collect broad traditional medicinal uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicological data on P. emodi. This work also emphasises taxonomic validity, experimental design quality, and weaknesses in previously published Himalayan paeony material, which may help researchers plan for future research.
Electricity Load Forecasting of Kenya National Grid

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper developed a supervised Artificial Neural Networkbased model for Short-Term Electricity Load Forecasting, and evaluated the performance of the model by applying the actual load data of the Kenya National Grid power system to predict the load of one day in advance. Raw data was collected, cleaned and loaded onto the model. The model was trained under the WEKA environment and predicted the total load for Kenya National Grid power system. The test results showed that the hour-by-hour approach is more suitable and efficient for a day-ahead load forecasting. Forecast results demonstrated that the model performed remarkably well with increased number of iterations. The result suggests that incremental training approach of a neural network model should be implemented for online testing application to acquire a universal final view on its applicability.
Application of the Global Positioning System (GPS) to Low Airspeed Measurement for Helicopter Usage Monitoring Systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This report focuses on the field trial of a GPS unit for measuring low helicopter airspeeds. The results indicated that the GPS has the potential to be used as a low-speed indicator. However, the possible loss of GPS signal, transient CPS results due to changes in satellites being used for the solution, time lag in the results and whether the assumption of a constant wind-speed is valid need to be considered.
Resilience Implications of Energy Storage in Urban Water Systems

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Additional water storage is modeled in concentrated and distributed configurations in a case study water distribution system model of Cleveland, Tennessee, U.S.A. This is done to understand: if there are energy generation capabilities from increased storage, and if new water demand modeled to represent a doubling population can be supported by additional water storage. Model outputs show that the distributed water storage configuration increases water system resiliency to population growth, meeting doubled water demand. The concentrated storage configuration cannot meet doubled water demand, due to the inability of the design to manage pressure and deliver water across the space-and-time continuum. Both scenarios are unable to meet water demands and maintain pressures while also generating energy. This research concludes that the primary motivation for adding additional water storage (e.g., for energy generation or to withstand chronic population growth) should determine additional tank locations and configurations.
Behaviour of the Schwarzian derivative on long complex projective tubes

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

The Schwarzian derivative parametrizes the fibres of the space of complex projective structures on a surface as vector bundle over its Teichmüller space. We study its behaviour on long complex projective tubes, and get estimates for the pairing of its real part with infinitesimal earthquakes and graftings. As the real part of their Schwarzian coincides with the differential of the renormalized volume we obtain bounds for the variation of renormalized volume under complex earthquake paths, and its asymptotic behaviour under pinching a compressible curve.
Automated Reverse Engineering of CAN Protocols

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Car manufacturers define proprietary protocols to be used inside their vehicular networks, which are kept an industrial secret, therefore impeding independent researchers from extracting information from these networks.This article describes a statistical and a neural network approach that allows reverse engineering proprietary controller area network (CAN)-protocols assuming they were designed using the data base CAN (DBC) file format.The proposed algorithms are tested with CAN traces taken from a real car.We show that our approaches can correctly reverse engineer CAN messages in an automated manner.
Advance in small-molecule inhibitors of Survivin

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Survivin is a member of inhibitor of apoptosis protein(IAP) family. It plays a critical biological role in many aspects including inhibiting apoptosis, regulating cell cycle and angiogenesis. Overexpression of Survivin exists in a variety of tumors, which is associated with the poor prognosis and drug resistance. As a potential target for cancer treatment, the small-molecule inhibitors of Survivin is becoming the hot point. This review provides a brief overview about Survivin structure, function, distribution in tumor, and a summary of the current progress of small-molecule inhibitors targeting Survivin.
Updating Public Legal Awareness of Restricting Carbon Emissions in Indonesia

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Government of Indonesia will impose restrictions on carbon emissions. The description of public legal awareness regarding this matter is currently an important aspect as one of the benchmarks, especially for updating the status of carbon emission regulations in Indonesian society. This literature study focuses on the importance and use of empirical quantitative research methods based on questionnaire data from respondents in various regions in Indonesia. The discussion using the Regulatory Status Analysis (RSA) path model assisted by the PLS-SEM software specifically provides an understanding of the relationship between the ideal Law and legal culture in the form of public awareness to comply with legal norms limiting carbon emissions. Another element of the legal system, namely the substance of the Law, also has a positive effect on awareness of obeying the Law. However, the legal Structure has no effect, either directly or indirectly. The possible reason is that the legal Structure, the indicator of which is law enforcement related to carbon emission cases, has not been widely processed in domestic courts in Indonesia. This study also conducts an intersubjective meaning approach by interviewing related entrepreneurs to strengthen statistical inferences. The article concludes by placing these findings in the discourse on limiting national carbon emissions based on political will and participatory governance.
[Aneurysm of the popliteal artery. Prognostic and therapeutic criteria].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Experience of the management of 45 patients affected by popliteal artery aneurysms is reported. All patients, but one, underwent operative treatment. The importance of immediate surgical reconstruction whenever a popliteal artery aneurysm has been detected is stressed. In fact the most frequent complication represented by sudden thrombosis of the aneurysmatic sac and/or by peripheral embolization is generally followed by an irreversible closure of the vascular run off, determining the high rate of failures (28% in our experience) in spite of a prompt surgical reconstructive procedure.
Broadcast Video Logo Detection and Removing

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Video logos can be considered as a form of visible watermark which is a trademark or symbol to declare the video copyright. However, in some cases, it will cause visual discomfort due to the presence of multiple logos overlapped directly or blended with another logo in videos. In this paper, we use an efficient gradient- based average approach to detect the logo firstly; then, the selected logo mask in the entire video sequence will be inpainted by the spatial-temporal image restoration technique. Experimental results show that our method is capable of recovering various kinds of video logos in the visually plausible way.
artdaq: An Event-Building, Filtering, and Processing Framework

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Several current and proposed experiments at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, IL, USA, have novel data acquisition needs. These include 1) continuous digitization, using commercial high-speed digitizers, of signals from the detectors, 2) the transfer of all of the digitized waveform data to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) processors, 3) the filtering or compression of the waveform data, or both, and 4) the writing of the resultant data to disk for later, more complete, analysis. To address these needs, members of the Accelerator and Detector Simulation and Support Department within the Scientific Computing Division at Fermilab are using parallel processing technologies in the development of artdaq, a generic data acquisition toolkit. The artdaq toolkit uses Message Passing Interface (MPI) and art, an established event-processing framework shared by new experiments at Fermilab. In an artdaq program, the digitized data are transferred into computing nodes using commodity Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) cards, and event fragments are transferred between distributed processes using MPI and assembled into complete events. These events are then processed by a configurable selection of user-specified algorithms, commonly including filtering and compression algorithms, using the art event-processing framework. This paper describes the architecture and implementation of the first phase of the artdaq toolkit and shows early performance results with configurations that match upcoming experiments both at Fermilab and elsewhere.
Seeking for an Image and its Satirical Reading in a Foreign Language as a Cognition Tool Using the Example of Economic Concepts Research

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Visual images are an integral tool for understanding abstract concepts, including in economics, where they can facilitate the understanding of complex ideas. However, this approach requires the language knowledge and the understanding of the cultural nuances specific to the society of people speaking that language. The paper presents an innovative approach to the study of economic concepts in a foreign language, which includes both the search for a visual image and its satirical reading. The results showed this method using could increase the level of perception, cognition and fixation of economic terms among students of non-linguistic universities studying a foreign language.

Mean field limits of interacting particle systems with positive stable jumps

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We consider mean field systems of interacting particles. Each particle jumps with a rate depending on its position. When jumping, a macroscopic quantity is added to its own position and all other particles receive a small random kick which is distributed according to a positive $\alpha-$stable law and scaled in $N^{-1/\alpha},$ $0 < \alpha < 1.$ In between successive jumps, the particles follow a deterministic flow. In a more general framework where jumps do not need to be positive, we have shown in \cite{DEE} that the mean field limit of this system is a McKean-Vlasov process, solution of a non-linear SDE, driven by an $ \alpha-$stable process. Moreover we have obtained in \cite{DEE} an upper bound for the strong error with respect to some specific distance disregarding big jumps of the stable process. In the present note we consider the specific situation where all jumps are positive and particles take values in $\R_+. $ We show that it is then possible to improve upon the error bounds obtained in \cite{DEE} by using an adhoc distance obtained after applying a concave space transform. The distance we propose here takes into account the big jumps of the limit $ \alpha-$stable subordinator.
IDDF2018-ABS-0189 Effect of diabetes mellitus and vitamin D levels on hepatitis c related liver disease

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background

There is a high incidence of Diabetes mellitus and vitamin D deficiency seen among Hepatitis C patients. The effect of the simultaneous occurrence of DM and low levels of 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D on HCV related liver disease remains unclear. In this study, we have aimed to assess the influence of DM and levels of Vitamin D on HCV related liver disease patients.

Methods

In this retrospective study, all patients who tested positive for Anti-HCV between January 2014 – December 2016 were included and were reviewed for gender, age, diabetes, genotype, level of 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D, the status of liver disease including HCC at inclusion. The association of diabetes and low Vitamin D levels (<30 ng/mL) with liver status and child pugh class (CTP) was analysed.

Results

A total of 777 patients were included. At presentation 439 (56%) patients had cirrhosis; including 51 (7%) with HCC and 287 (37%) had chronic hepatitis. 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D level was available in 206 patients at baseline. Low Vitamin D level was present in [126/206 (61%)] of the patients. DM was present in [165/777 (21%)] of the patients and was more common with genotype 1 and 4 (p=0.056). Patients who had associated diabetes presented more commonly with cirrhosis 122/439 (28%) and HCC 122/439 (29%) in comparison to chronic hepatitis 28/287 (10%) (p<0.01). Lower Vitamin D level (<30 ng/mL) was seen in 67% (98/147) of patients with cirrhosis, 78% (11/14) with HCC and 47% (28/59) with chronic hepatitis (p=0.012). In cirrhotic patients, vitamin D deficiency was significant in child B (72%) and Child C (75%) patients in comparison to child a patients (52%) (p=0.013) (figure 1).

Conclusions

25-Hydroxy Vitamin D deficiency was present in 61% and diabetes mellitus co-existed in 21% of HCV patients at presentation. Diabetes and low levels of 25-OH vitamin D at presentation were associated with higher incidence of cirrhosis and HCC. We believe that improving diabetes control and correcting vitamin D deficiency can improve outcomes in hepatitis C related liver disease.
The impact of asymmetric fiscal decentralization on education and health outcomes: Evidence from Papua Province, Indonesia

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This study examines the causal effect of asymmetric fiscal decentralization on education and health outcomes in Papua Province, Indonesia, from 1994 to 2016, using the Synthetic Control Method (SCM).The counterfactual series of this study is constructed by using a synthetic control unit deriving data from 21 provinces in Indonesia.It is found that the asymmetric fiscal decentralization which started with the enactment of Law No 21 as of 2001 on Special Autonomy for the Papua Province has negative effects on education and health outcomes in Papua.It is also observed that the outcome gap between the treatment unit and the synthetic control unit also grows over time.Thus, this paper concludes that asymmetric fiscal decentralization is ineffective as evidenced by education and health outcomes in Papua.This paper makes a valuable contribution to the empirical literature on the macroeconomic effects of asymmetric fiscal decentralization.While fiscal decentralization has positive impacts on education and health outcomes in most literature, this paper shows adverse results for the case of Papua Province.
ProctorU in a New Online Minor in Health Psychology

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The University of Minnesota Department of Psychology is developing an online minor in Health Psychology. The minor will consist of three required tool courses and several elective content courses. All of them share a problem delivering courses online—how best to create and deliver exams. In a poster presentation, we describe our experimentation with the online test proctoring service ProctorU to deliver mid-semester and final exams. First, we will briefly describe our online minor and attendees will learn how the Department approached its design. Second, we will demonstrate how ProctorU works for those not familiar with it. And third, we will report collection and analysis of three semesters of data from exams administered through ProctorU in five completely online offerings of Abnormal Psychology, Psychology of Learning, and History of Psychology. Attendees will learn about our approach and the tentative conclusions we have reached from our research on this issue.
There are Two Different Dysexecutive Syndromes

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The idea of “executive function” has become a fundamental concept in contemporary neurosciences. However, some disagreement remains around the question of unity or diversity (non-unitary) of executive functions and different points of view have been proposed. In this paper it is suggested that two major types of executive dysfunction syndromes can be separated: (a) Metacognitive executive dysfunction syndrome associated with dorsolateral frontal damage; and (b) Motivational/emotional executive dysfunction syndrome associated with orbitofrontal and medial frontal pathology. The first one is characterized by disturbances in intellectual abilities (“intelligence”), whereas the second one relates to impairments in behavioral control (disinhibition, impulsivity, etc.). Contemporary neuroimaging studies support this proposal.
Heatwave‐induced functional shifts in zooplankton communities result in weaker top‐down control on phytoplankton

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly affected by rising annual mean temperatures and heatwaves. While heatwaves are expected to have more immediate effects than mean temperature increases on local communities, comparative experimental studies are largely lacking. We conducted a 1‐month mesocosm experiment to test the effect of different warming treatments, constantly raised temperatures (+3°C) and recurring heatwaves (+6°C), on plankton communities. We specifically tested how shifts in zooplankton trait composition and functional groups are reflected in ecosystem function (top‐down control on primary producers). We found that heatwaves had a stronger and more immediate effect on zooplankton trait composition (specifically on body length and body mass) and functional groups. Heatwaves led to the decrease of small‐bodied grazers (i.e., Rotifera) and the dominance of larger omnivorous Copepoda, and these shifts resulted in weaker top‐down control, leading to elevated phytoplankton biomass. Altogether, our results highlight the importance of the indirect effects of heatwaves via inducing shifts in zooplankton functional groups and trait composition, which may lead to algal blooms.
Toripalimab for the treatment of melanoma

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Toripalimab is not inferior to pembrolizumab as a second-line therapy for metastatic melanoma. Prospective validated predictive markers are lacking. Programmed cell death ligand 1 expression and tumor mutational burden are two common recognized biomarkers, but the predictability of these markers requires additional improvement. A number of studies have confirmed that PD-1 inhibitors, including toripalimab, are not as effective in mucosal and acral melanomas as in non-acral cutaneous subtype. Toripalimab in combination with tyrosine kinase inhibitor axitinib has shown a promising result for metastatic mucosal melanoma. It is crucial to explore the mechanisms underlying the varying biological behavior of melanoma subtypes, which may also provide clues of innate and acquired resistance to PD-1 blockade.
