Testing the association between thyroid dysfunction and psychiatric diagnostic group in an iodine-deficient area

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: To test the association between thyroid dysfunction and psychiatric diagnostic group in a large sample of consecutive patients, while controlling for the effects of age, sex, medication and concomitant medical conditions. Methods: We compared the distribution of psychiatric diagnostic groups according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision (ICD-10), and of selected psychopathological symptoms in 100 newly admitted psychiatric patients who had genuine thyroid disease and 92 psychiatric patients who had nonspecific alterations of thyroid function with the corresponding items for the whole group of admitted patients ( n = 1134) during the observation period. This analysis was then repeated using an age-matched and sex-matched comparison group selected from all admitted patients in a random order. Results: When all admitted patients were considered, the presence of a genuine thyroid disorder was associated with the diagnosis of a mood disorder (ICD-10 category F3). This effect was no longer detectable when the age-matched and sex-matched comparison group was used, indicating a simple effect of these 2 variables. Nonspecific alterations of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were associated with the ICD-10 diagnostic group F4 (neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders), with demographic variables being similar in this subgroup to those of all admitted patients. These patients also tended to display more symptoms of a mild depressive syndrome. When only patients with nonspecifically decreased TSH concentrations were tested, these findings could not be reproduced. Nonspecifically decreased concentrations of thyroxine and free thyroxine index were found significantly more often in the diagnosis group F1 (mental disorder due to substance use), reflecting results for alcohol-dependent patients. This result could not be replicated using an age-matched and sex-matched control group. Conclusion: In newly admitted psychiatric patients with genuine thyroid disease, there was no notable association of thyroid disease and major psychiatric diagnostic groups according to ICD-10, especially depression. This argues against the hypothesis of thyroid disorders being a major risk factor for psychiatric illnesses. Nonspecific alterations of TSH were more frequently seen in patients of diagnostic group F4 and with mild depressive syndromes, possibly representing an altered influence of stress-regulating systems on thyroid function.
Contributions of enterprise architecture to software engineering: A systematic literature review

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Enterprise architecture is a growing trend that aims to help deal with the complexity of socio‐technical systems such as human organizations, as well as their information technology and systems areas. Nevertheless, the contribution of enterprise architecture to the field of software engineering remains unclear. The purpose of this systematic literature review is to see how enterprise architecture is used in software development and maintenance practice. To this end, we first carried out a search in the SCOPUS database and then organized the papers according to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge to determine what areas of software engineering are covered by each research study. To understand how enterprise architecture is used, we established a classification based on ISO 42010 and TOGAF. From the systematic literature review, we noticed that the early stages of development are the most impacted by the enterprise architecture. On the other hand, we observed that enterprise architecture is of assistance in the areas of engineering management, engineering processes, and engineering models and methods; these tasks are carried out by teams or managers using different, often agile, development methods or standards. In turn, we found that the most common categories are architecture descriptions; these are often used to facilitate communication and information‐sharing between different stakeholders, in addition to frameworks, which will help to establish common practices in the organization related to the joint use of enterprise architecture and software development.
Assessment Of Electrical Safety Beliefs And Practices: A Case Study

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In this paper, the electrical safety beliefs and practices in Hail region, Saudi Arabia, have been assessed. Based on legislative recommendations and rules applied in Saudi Arabia, on official statistics regarding the electricity-caused accidents and on the analysis of more than 200 photos captured in Hail (related to electrical safety), a questionnaire composed of 36 questions (10 for the respondents information, 16 for the home safety culture and 10 for the electrical devices purchasing culture) has been devised and distributed to residents. 228 responses have been collected and analyzed. Using a scale similar to the one adopted for a university student GPA calculation, the electrical safety level (ESL) in Hail region has been found to be 0.76 (in a scale of 4 points) which is a very low score and indicates a poor electrical safety culture. Several recommendations involving different competent authorities have been proposed. Future work will concern the assessment of safety in industrial companies in Hail region.

In Israel, survival and neurological recovery rates after SCI rehabilitation are close to those reported in other countries. Despite the decrease in LOS, in recent years, survival is at least as long as before, and neurological recovery has improved significantly.
The Invasiveness of Healing in Mohsin Hamid’s the Reluctant Fundamentalist

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

As noted by critics, sexual intimacy in Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist emerges as an allegory of post–9/11 tensions. A prominent feature of the allegory is the depiction of healing as an opening for sexual intimacy. This paper demonstrates the invasiveness that healing acquires on account of the 9/11 novel’s interweaving of intimacy and terror. The focus of this paper lies on the two instances of love–making, in which injuries are put to work in ways that expose how healing potentially trespasses on the inaccessibility of others. The text’s arming of healing, which has hitherto not been accounted for by critics, is shown to spotlight the pitfalls that accompany the remedial potential of re-reading the other. As illustrated in this paper, the parallel between re-reading and the risk of healing not only reflects critically on the text’s re-presentation of healing but has an implicating effect on the reader.
Experimental MHD Interaction in Hypersonic Flow

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

An experimental investigation on the effect of the MHD interaction with the plasma of the shock layer above a wedge immersed into a hypersonic argon flow was carried out with the Mach 6, partially ionized flow obtained from the high-enthalpy arc-heated wind tunnel of Alta-CPR (Pisa). The tests were conducted with total pressures of 0.65, 0.85, and 1 bar, and magnetic fields in the range of 0.15-0.35 T. The diagnostics included electrostatic probes on the model surface, an optical multi-channel analyser, and a fast shutter CCD camera. Due to the MHD interaction an increase of the shock distance from the body surface was observed, although the MHD interaction effect was reduced by the low conductivity of the plasma in the boundary layer above the test body surface.
Does country matter?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract Previous studies have explored the predictors of business unit performance in multiple‐business firms and investigated the extent of the effect of industry, corporate, and business unit on the performance of a business unit. These studies have focused almost exclusively on examining performance differences within a single country, thus treating country effects as external to business unit performance. In contrast, this study focuses on multinational corporations and examines the extent to which country effects explain the variation in the performance of foreign affiliates. Our findings show that country effects are as strong as industry effects, following affiliate effects and corporate effects. Our results also suggest that corporate and affiliate effects tend to be more critical in explaining the variation in foreign affiliate performance in developed countries, whereas country and industry effects are more salient in developing countries.

High-uniformity and high-performance waveguide Ge photodetectors for the O and C bands

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents the test results for high-performance and high-uniformity waveguide silicon-based germanium (Ge) photodetectors (PDs) for the O band and C band. Both wafer-scale and chip-scale test results are provided. The fabricated lateral p − i − n (LPIN) PDs exhibit a responsivity of 0.97 A/W at a bias of −2V, a bandwidth of 60 GHz, and a no-return-to-zero (NRZ) eye diagram rate of 53.125 Gb/s. Additionally, an average dark current of 22.4 nA was obtained in the vertical p − i − n (VPIN) PDs at −2V by optimizing the doping process. The device can reach an average responsivity of 0.9 A/W in the O band. The standard deviation in a wafer with a dark current and responsivity is as low as 7.77 nA and 0.03 A/W at −2V, respectively.
Devolution and Local Government

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Devolution was introduced amid a rhetoric of democratic renewal and promised the active engagement of local government. Local government has responded in different ways in different parts of the United Kingdom. In Scotland and Wales local authorities have built on their advocacy of devolution before 1997 to realize a close partnership with devolved government. In London, too, local authorities have come to engage closely with regional government. In the rest of England local authorities were at best ambivalent about the possibility of regional government, preferring to work in a national context with UK government institutions. Northern Ireland local government is parochial and appears suspicious of engagement with devolved government. These differences express some of the wider relationships of the component societies of the United Kingdom to the UK state and have helped to embed continued centralized government in England.

Pengaruh Kompensasi, Kepuasan Kerja dan Pengembangan Karir terhadap Kinerja Pegawai Dinas Pekerjaan Umum Kabupaten Teluk Wondama

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Employees of the Public Works Department of Teluk Wondama Regency feel that they have given good performance, but the provision of additional employee income compensation (TPP) cannot provide job satisfaction because some employees are actively working and inactive or lazy, the additional income payment is paid the same amount. This makes active employees feel dissatisfied with the performance they have done. In addition, in uneven career development and more than half of the employees are high school education which has an impact on their abilities and skills in carrying out their performance. The purpose of this study was to determine partially and simultaneously the effect of compensation, job satisfaction and career development on the performance of employees of the Public Works Department of Teluk Wondama Regency. The research method is associative to determine the relationship between the two (or more) variables. The population is civil servants with a sample size of 91 people.

Community Acquired Acinetobacter Baumannii in Pediatric Patients Under 1 Year Old With a Clinical Diagnosis of Whooping Cough in Lima, Peru

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) continue to be the leading cause of child mortality in Peru. Data on the epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumannii and its role in respiratory infection among pediatric patients is still scarce. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of A. baumannii in children aged less than one year hospitalized with a clinical diagnosis of whooping cough. Methods & Materials: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in five hospitals in Lima, Peru. Patients under 1 year old admitted with a clinical diagnosis of whooping cough were included in the study. Nasopharyngeal samples were obtained from each patient upon admission and the presence of A. baumanii was determined using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the detection of the OXA-51 gene. Also co-infections with other respiratory pathogens was evaluated by molecular methods, including Bordetella pertussis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Influenza A and B and Adenovirus. Results: A total of 225 nasopharyngeal samples were studied. The presence of A. baumanii was detected in 20.89% (47/225) of the nasopharyngeal swab samples. The samples were obtained upon admission to the hospital, therefore, infection by A. baumanii may have occurred in the community. Among the 47 patients with A. baumanii: 5 were diagnosed with A. baumanii monoinfection, 17 co-infection with bacteria, 7 co-infection with virus and 18 co-infection with bacteria + virus. It was observed that children between 29 days and 3 months old had the highest prevalence with 53.3%. The most common co-infecting pathogens were Bordetella pertussis in 55.3%, Adenovirus in 42.6% and Mycoplasma pneumoniae in 23.4%. Conclusion: In conclusion, this is the first report describing the presence of community-acquired A. baumannii in nasopharyngeal samples of children under 1 year old with whooping cough. Co-detection with multiple pathogens is frequent, with up to 6 respiratory infectious agents at the same time, being A. baumannii and B. pertussis co-infection the most prevalent. Further studies are required to determine the role of A. baumannii infections in acute respiratory infections in young children, particularly in those with non-critical disease and outside of intensive care units.

Nucleinsäuren in Chloroplasten I. Charakterisierung der DNS und RNS von Antirrhinum majus

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

The occurrence of nucleic acids in chloroplast preparations and leaves of Antirrhinum majus has been investigated. Chloroplast preparations isolated from freeze-dried leaves in a non-aqueous medium were found to contain DNA. Characterization of the DNA was based on chemical analyses and density gradient centrifugation. The chloroplast DNA has a density of 1.698 g/cm 3 corresponding to a guaninecytosine content of 37 — 38%. The hyperchromic effect of the DNA has shown its double-stranded structure. Leaf DNA has also been characterized by density gradient centrifugation and shown to contain as major component the nuclear DNA with a density of 1.689 g/cm 3 which corresponds to a guanine-cytosine content of about 31% and a minor component identified as chloroplast DNA. Extraction of the total nucleic acids of chloroplast preparations and their chromatographic separation on methylated serum albumin column yielded 5 fractions as follows: Soluble RNA (fraction I) with s=3.8—4.0, DNA (fraction II) containing small but detectable amounts of an unknown RNA component, two RNA fractions presumable of ribosomal origin with s = 17 (fraction III) and s = 26 (fraction IV), and a RNA fraction heterogeneous in molecular size (fraction V) with s=23 — 50. The soluble RNA has a high GC-content whereas fraction V shows a relative high adenine content. Compared with the nucleic acids from leaves the chloroplast preparations contain the same fractions, differing only in the higher content of fraction III related to the amount of fraction IV. Beside the DNA fraction of leaf extract with the sedimentation coefficient of s = 12 — 13 a further UV-absorbing component with s=5.0—5.5 has been found. Its character is unknown.
Table_4_IGF2BP3 May Contributes to Lung Tumorigenesis by Regulating the Alternative Splicing of PKM.xlsx

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

<p>RNA binding proteins (RBPs) play a key role in genome regulation. Here we report the post-transcript regulation of IGF2BP3, which belongs to the insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein family. We used iRIP-seq and RNA-seq to analyze the transcript regulation and alternative splicing on IGF2BP3 treated with overexpression cells and control. Overexpressed IGF2BP3 has broadly increased genes expression which involved in G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway, positive regulation of cell proliferation, and signal transduction. IGF2BP3 regulated alternative splicing of multiple genes mainly clustered at response to hypoxia, negative regulation of transcription, and embryonic development. This study first provides alternative splicing analysis on transcription level of IGF2BP3 regulation, which laid the foundation for later research on IGF2BP3 critical functions.</p>
Stem Cells and Angiogenesis: Implications and Limitations in Enhancing Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcer Healing

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a continuing clinical issue despite the improved treatment with wound debridement, off-loading the ulcer, medication, wound dressings, and preventing infection by keeping the ulcer clean. Wound healing is associated with granulation tissue formation and angiogenesis favoring the wound to enter the resolution phase of healing followed by healing. However, chronic inflammation and reduced angiogenesis in a hyperglycemic environment impair the normal healing cascade and result in chronically non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. Promoting angiogenesis is associated with enhanced wound healing and using vascular endothelial growth factors has been proven beneficial to promote neo-angiogenesis. However, still, nonhealing DFUs persist with increased risks of amputation. Regenerative medicine is an evolving branch applicable in wound healing with the use of stem cells to promote angiogenesis. Various studies have reported promising results, but the associated limitations need in-depth research. This article focuses on summarizing and critically reviewing the published literature since 2021 on the use of stem cells to promote angiogenesis and enhance wound healing in chronic non-healing DFUs.
