A Narrative Approach to Educational Video Training

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Teachers often use videos to teach their students, but stories are not used as often in educational videos as they could be. Experts tell us that stories are an important part of teaching and learning. Unfortunately, there is only a small amount of research and no definitive expert agreement about stories used in educational videos. This is especially true for videos used with technical education students, like mechanic students or dental assisting students. In this study, dental assisting students learned how to assist a dentist with a standard cavity procedure after watching a video with or without a story. The study measured which video helped students get better quiz scores, feel more motivated, and which videos they preferred better. The students were randomly assigned to watch either video. The results demonstrated no significant difference in quiz scores or motivation, part of this was due to the low number of participants in this section of the study. Another group of students were shown both videos and then interviewed to determine additional insights. Overall, students preferred the video without the story as a reference for the dental cavity procedure. Students also seemed to like the video without the story because it was short and simple. In contrast, students reported the video with the story was more emotionally engaging, especially in regards to developing empathy for patients. Students also reported the video with the story better helped prepared them to work with patients.
(Labour Legislation and Social Security/ Législation du Travail et Sécurité Sociale)

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract This chapter notes Article 24 of the 1951 Convention. The provision provides a comprehensive framework of social assistance protection to refugees who are lawfully staying in the territory of a contracting State. The chapter also considers how Article 23 and Article 24, which addressed public relief, and labour legislation and social security respectively, complement each other in that they ensure the narrow interpretations of social security. It also recognizes the sympathetic consideration given to honouring reciprocal social security agreements between contracting and non-contracting States. Moreover, Article 24 exacted considerable influence on the States' laws, regulations, and interpretation of terms like lawfully staying.
Protective structures for low-coal car operator

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This report discussed the Bureau of Mines efforts to develop partial protective structures for operators of low-coal shuttle cars. In coal seams 48 in high or less, full-coverage canopies are generally difficult or may be impossible to implement on high-speed face equipment owing to the restrictions they impose on the operator's vision and comfort. Limited coverage is one alternative that provides an acceptable level of operator protection in thin-seam applications were conventional full-coverage canopies cannot be used. Three possible limited-coverage design scenarios (roll bars, sliding canopies, and flip-top canopies) were designed, fabricated, and evaluated for low-coal shuttle cars. All three designs were determined to be feasible and desirable for low-coal shuttle car application.
Effect of fermented soybean curd residue (FSCR; SCR-meju) byaspergillus oryzaeon the anti-obesity and lipids improvement

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

In this study, we designed to confirm the dietary effect of anti-obesity of fermented soybean curd residue (FSCR; SCRMeju; Biji-meju) by A. oryzae, which is well known as a Korean traditional meju microbe. We observed that body weight gain, serum and hepatic lipid profile, as well as the activity of ROS generating enzyme and ROS scavenging enzyme in high-fat diet induced obese mice fed experimental diet (SCR and SCR-meju). Body weight gain and epididymal fat weight of HC (high-fat diet control) was markedly higher than that of NC (Normal control). Conversely, body weight gain and epididymal fat weight of the SCR (Biji) and SCR-meju (Biji-meju) group was significantly lower than that of HC; these of the SCR-meju group was lower than that of the SCR group. Furthermore, serum TG and total-cholesterol and LDLcholesterol contents of SCR and SCR-meju groups were lower than that of HC, and HDL-cholesterol level of the SCRmeju group was significantly higher than that of HC. In conclusion, although precise mechanisms of the antiobese effects of SCR-meju in this study are unknown, the present study provides an experimental evidence that SCR-meju may prevent obesity and obesity related metabolic syndromes, such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes, and liver disease by high-fat diet. Nevertheless, further study in this filed will be needed.
Developmental Changes in Dehydrogenase Activities in Rabbit Eggs.

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

Rabbit embryo (pronuclear to blastocyst stage) dehydrogenase activities (as measured by the reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium) were measured histochemically in the presence of the following substrates: glucose 1-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate, glycerophosphate, lactate, glutamate, succinate, isocitrate and malate. The various dehydrogenases were found at all stage of development, not, however, in equivalent amounts. The succinic and glutamic dehydrogenase activities in the one-cell and 8 to 16-cell stage eggs were qualitatively higher than the other enzymes at these stages, and furthermore quantitively constant. At the morula stage, all of the enzymes analyzed had increased slightly, and after blastocyst formation, they had increased dramatically. In unfertilized ova, the activity of the dehydrogenases decreased with the progression of time. After 48 hours, all activity had disappeared completely.
Rio Grande Valley in the Time of a Pandemic: Community Responses to COVID-19

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The research for this report was conducted as a result of an interdisciplinary course of Anthropology and History at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley during the Fall semester of 2020. During the pandemic, we shifted from conducting this course through group projects and students instead produced individual primary source research. This occurred simultaneously as students and the rest of the populace sought to make sense of their experiences in the very changed framework of the COVID-19 world. The effort epitomizes the importance of recording history in real time, especially within a region that was as so negatively impacted by the coronavirus as the Rio Grande Valley of Texas was in the Summer of 2020.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Investigation of Wind Turbine Nacelle Separation Accident over Complex Terrain in Japan

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We have developed an unsteady and non-linear wind synopsis simulator called RIAM-COMPACT (Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, COMputational Prediction of Airflow over Complex Terrain) to simulate the airflow on a micro scale, i.e., a few tens of km or less. In RIAM-COMPACT, the large-eddy simulation (LES) has been adopted for turbulence modeling. LES is a technique in which the structures of relatively large eddies are directly simulated and smaller eddies are modeled using a sub-grid scale model. In the present study, we conducted numerical wind diagnoses for the Taikoyama Wind Farm nacelle separation accident in Japan. The simulation results suggest that all six wind turbines at Taikoyama Wind Farm are subject to significant influence from separated flow (terrain-induced turbulence) which is generated due to the topographic irregularities in the vicinity of the wind turbines. A proposal was also made on reconstruction of the wind farm.
Q-modification of tRNAs in human brain tumors.

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

Queuosine (Q nucleoside) is a highly modified guanosine analog and is present only in the first position of the anticodons of tRNA(Tyr), tRNA(His), tRNA(Asn) and tRNA(Asp). The levels of Q in normal human brain and two different types of human brain tumors (meningiomas and astrocytomas) were determined by using an enzymatic assay method. tRNAs isolated from tumor tissues contained decrease amounts of Q when compared to tRNAs from normal (i.e. non-tumor) brain tissue. There was a relationship between the levels of Q nucleoside and the tumor malignancy in the sense that the deficiency was greater in the highly malignant astrocytomas compared to meningiomas which are usually benign tumors. Increased Q deficiency was also observed in higher grade tumors.
New antisera specific for human C1Q-TNF-related protein 8 (CTRP8): characterization and tissue distribution

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

Introduction: Adiponectin and the structurally related C1Q-Tumor Necrosis Factor-related proteins (CTRP) have important roles in innate immunity and metabolism. CTRP8 is the most recently discovered and least characterized member of this family. Our lab had identified human CTRP8 as a novel ligand of the relaxin/insulin-like family peptide receptor 1 (RXFP1) in glioblastoma. We have generated high-affinity rabbit antisera to CTRP8 and identified a selective mast cell population in human prostate normal and neoplastic tissues. Mast cells are innate immune cells that are best known for their role in mediating allergic responses. Mast cell have been shown to accumulate in prostate cancer tissues and serve as potential prognostic marker in prostate cancer. Methods: Affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal antisera directed against an epitope unique to human CTRP8 were characterized by Western blot, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry in clinically validated patient prostate tissues and tissue microarrays (TMAs). Results: Of several Flag-tagged human and mouse CTRP family members transiently expressed in HEK293 cells, both rabbit antisera exclusively detected human CTRP8 in Western blots. The two antisera (1438 and 1439) were also successfully used for the detection of CTRP8+ cells in human tissues. Immunoreactive CTRP8 co-localized with toludiene blue positive cells in human tissues. Immunofluorescence studies in normal and neoplastic human prostate tissues revealed a subpopulation of mast cells immunoreactive for CTRP8 and Tryptase, the latter being a marker for mature mast cells. Analysis of prostate cancer tissue microarrays (TMAs) revealed a significant increase in the proportion of Tryptase+/ CTRP8+ cells versus total number of mast cells (Tryptase+/ CTRP8+ and Tryptase+/ CTRP8- cells) in the peritumoral compartment as compared to the intratumoral regions of prostate cancer samples with Gleason grades 6 and 7. Conclusions: This is the first report on CTRP8 expression in cells of the innate immune system. We identified CTRP8 as a novel marker for a subpopulation of Tryptase+ mast cells in the neoplastic human prostate gland. We observed an increase in Tryptase+/ CTRP8+ mast cells adjacent to tumor tissues compared to intratumoral regions in prostate cancer cases with Gleason 6 and 7.
Oral probiotic containing microbial lysates modulates rectal and vaginal microbial environments but does not change the vaginal community state type – a pilot study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract

The main aim of this study was to characterize the changes in the rectal and vaginal microbiota, as well as local inflammatory responses following the use of multi-strain oral probiotic containing microbial lysates. Eleven healthy premenopausal women received a one-month regimen of a multi-strain oral probiotic preparation containing Lactobacillus crispatus , Lactobacillus rhamnosus , and Bifidobacterium animalis , microbial lysates and fructooligosaccharides. Rectal and vaginal swab samples were collected at baseline, after one month of probiotic use, and after a one-month washout period. Microbiota composition was assessed using 16S rRNA sequencing. Local inflammatory response was evaluated via interleukin-6 levels in the swab samples. Following one month of probiotic use, a decrease was observed in rectal bacterial richness (median number of taxa 38 vs. 37; p = 0.03) and rectal IL-6 levels (median 1.1 pg/mL vs. 0.6 pg/mL; p = 0.02), as well as a decrease in vaginal bacterial diversity (median inverse Simpson index 1.1 vs. 1.0; p = 0.03) The distribution of vaginal community state types remained unchanged. Among the probiotic strains, L. crispatus and L. rhamnosus were detected in post-intervention only in the vaginal swab samples of women who harbored them at baseline; B. animalis was not detected in any vaginal or rectal samples. To conclude, the use of a multi-strain oral probiotic containing microbial lysates and fructooligosaccharides did not alter the vaginal microbiota community state type in healthy premenopausal women, but it was associated with a modest modulation of rectal and vaginal microbial environments and a reduction in a local rectal inflammatory response.
Problems Arising from the Surface Occurrence of Archaeological Material in Southeastern Chihuahua, Mexico

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

An examination of the topography represented on five different maps of the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, demonstrated a remarkable degree of uniformity physiographic features in the northeastern part of the state. In the latter instance, at least, one point of agreement concerned the existence of a “Bolson de Mapimi.” While the existence of the feature appeared to be assured, its location varied with the different maps. Not only was the variation north and south, but also east and west, with some maps having the larger extent of the basin in Coahuila while others located the feature almost entirely in Chihuahua.
Effects and mechanisms of Penehyclidine hydrochloride on stroke index following transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Penehyclidine hydrochloride on stroke index of transient forebrain ischemia gerbils and its mechanisms.METHODS The model of transient forebrain ischemia reperfusion was established in gerbils by bilateral carotid artery clamping.Gerbils were randomly divided into five groups: sham operation group,ischemia-reperfusion group,PHC 0.026 mg·kg-1 group,PHC 0.24 mg·kg-1 group and Atropine group.Neurological function scores and calculated stroke index after the gerbils received transient forebrain ischemia reperfusion for six hours were performed,GSH-PX and Na+,K+-ATPase in hippocampus and cortex.The content of intracellular free calcium were measured by Flow Cytometry and the contents of TXB2 and 6-Keto-PGF1α were assayed by radioimmunity.RESULTS PHC could obviously reduce stoke index,increase the contents of GSH-PX and Na+,K+-ATPase,and decrease intracellular free calcium in hippocampus neuron and the ratio of TXB2/6-Keto-PGF1α in blood.CONCLUSION PHC can obviously ameliorate neurological signs and ischemic brain injury,which may relate to enchanced level of GSH-PX and Na+,K+-ATPase,the reduction of intracellular free calcium and the lower level of thromboxane B2 in blood.
Compress-and-forward strategy for Causal Cognitive Interference Channel

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we consider Causal Cognitive Interference Channel (CC-IFC), wherein the cognitive user overhears the channel and exploits knowledge of the primary user's message from the causally received signals. We propose a coding scheme which combines Compress-and-Forward (CF) strategy with Marton coding with common information at the cognitive user. Rate splitting for messages at both transmitters is used to have a collaborative strategy. Moreover, the cognitive user compresses its channel observation using Wyner-Ziv coding and splits the index of its compressed signal. Then, the cognitive user having common information to both receivers and private information to each of them, jointly maps its split message and split index to codewords, using Marton coding with common information. Besides the fact that, this strategy allows users to cooperate, cognitive user mitigates part of the interference by binning its codewords against each other. We utilize the sliding-window and simultaneous joint decoding techniques at the receivers. Using this scheme, we establish a new inner bound on the capacity region (achievable rate region) for CC-IFC. Further, we extend our achievable rate region to the Gaussian case and compare it with the previously obtained results which are based on Decode-and-Forward (DF) strategy, via numerical examples.
5G New Radio for Public Safety Mission Critical Communications

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Driven by increasing demands on connectivity to improve safety, situational awareness and operational effectiveness for first responders, more and more public safety agencies are realizing the need of modernization of their existing non-3GPP networks. 3GPP based cellular networks offer the unique opportunity of providing fast, reliable, and prioritized communications for first responders in a shared network. In this article, we give an overview of service requirements of public safety mission critical communications. We identify key technical challenges and explain how 5G NR features are being evolved to meet the emerging safety critical requirements, including enabling connectivity everywhere, supporting efficient group communications, prioritizing mission critical traffic, and providing accurate positioning for first responders.
Effects of overtime on well-being : a meta-analytic review

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The trend of overtime work has been increasing since the past two decades. The objective of this meta-analysis paper was to investigate the effect of overtime on well-being. A total of 20 eligible studies (N = 100,566) were identified and utilized in the analyses. The meta-analysis results indicate that overtime has a small but significant negative effect on overall well-being, as well as physical and psychological health. Moderator analyses conducted suggest that gender has no real effect, while study designs were associated with study outcomes. Specifically, between-subject design appears to have a stronger effect than within-subject design. Practical implications, other potential moderators and future direction are discussed. Inconsistencies in the current literature, including the definition of overtime and its measuring constructs, are also reviewed. Future research is needed to uncover the underlying mechanisms at work between overtime and well-being.
Reliability of urine multistix and gram stain in the detection of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

multistix® nitrite and leucocyte esterase are not sufficiently sensitive to be used as a screening tool for asymptomatic bacteriuria. Urine gram stain can be used in areas where facilities are inadequate for culture but cannot replace it. More studies are required to determine the accuracy of urine gram-stain.
Effect of different concentrations of sevoflurane pretreatment on acute lung injury induced by endotoxin in rats.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

To investigate the effect of 3 concentrations of sevoflurane pretreatment on acute lung injury induced by endotoxin in rats.Thirty-six male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:a control group(Group A), a sevoflurane group(Group B), a 3.6% sevoflurane pretreatment group(Group C), a 2.4% Sevoflurane pretreatment group(Group D), a 1.2% sevo sevoflurane pretreatment group(Group E), and lipopolysaccharide (Group F).The rats were killed 6 h after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or saline injection.Histological examinations of the lung tissues were performed with light microscope. Lung wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) mRNA expression were assayed.Introvenous LPS significantly aggravated lung tissue damage,increased lung W/D ratio, MPO activity, and lung ICAM-1 mRNA expression compared with the control group(P<0.05). Precondition with 2.4% sevoflurane significantly attenuated the above-mentioned changes induced by LPS (P<0.05). The 3.6% LPS (Group C) significantly attenuated lung tissue damage and decreased MPO activity,lung ICAM-1 mRNA expression compared with the Group F (P<0.05),but no significant change in lung W/D ratio was seen (P>0.05). MPO activity was significantly decreased in Group E (P<0.05), but lung W/D ratio and lung ICAM-1 mRNA expression had no significant changes (P>0.05).Precondition with 2.4% sevoflurane can reduce LPS-induced lung injury in rats. Decreased expression of ICAM-1 and less accumulation of neutrophils were participated in its mechanism.

Indirect Front-End Smart Transformer with Reactive Power Management

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Smart Transformers (STs) are an application of Solid-State Transformers (SSTs) which, among others, feature voltage regulation through reactive power flow control. Several topologies, including Direct Solid-State Transformers have been reported. These configurations show a reduced number of conversion stages, however, are limited for reactive power control. A transcendental characteristic that STs present is the Medium Voltage (MV)-side reactive power control which can lead to control the MV profile. For this reason, in this paper, an Indirect Front-end smart transformer with reactive power management is presented. A control scheme is proposed, considering the PQ Theory and a Power Factor (PF) correction scheme. The proposal permits to define the desired PF and then generate a current reference to handle the reactive power at the MV-side for a Dual-Active-Bridge (DAB) converter in a smart transformer application; this allows the converter to maintain the Low Voltage (LV) side output regulated while modifying the ac input current waveform at MV-side. A simulation is presented to corroborate the proposal.
