Incremental updating algorithm for infrequent itemsets on weighted condition

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Association rules are dedicated to describe the direct correlations among the items in frequent itemsets, while negative association rules are dedicated to describe the indirect correlations between the two items in infrequent itemsets. Incremental updating algorithm is important for mining infrequent itemset in dynamic databases. A new algorithm for mining infrequent itemsets from weighted incremental updating database (MIIWIU), is proposed to deal with the incremental updating problem when anew database is inserted in the original database and the minimum support is not changed to mine frequent and infrequent itemsets. The experiment results have shown that our approach is efficient and promising.
Eukaryotic pathways targeted by the type III secretion system effector protein, BipC, involved in the intracellular lifecycle of Burkholderia pseudomallei

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Burkholderia pseudomallei, the etiological agent for melioidosis, is known to secrete a type III secretion system (TTSS) protein into the host's internal milieu. One of the TTSS effector protein, BipC, has been shown to play an important role in the B. pseudomallei pathogenesis. To identify the host response profile that was directly or indirectly regulated by this protein, genome-wide transcriptome approach was used to examine the gene expression profiles of infected mice. The transcriptome analysis of the liver and spleen revealed that a total of approximately 1,000 genes were transcriptionally affected by BipC. Genes involved in bacterial invasion, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, and MAPK signalling pathway were over-expressed and may be specifically regulated by BipC in vivo. These results suggest that BipC mainly targets pathways related to the cellular processes which could modulate the cellular trafficking processes. The host transcriptional response exhibited remarkable differences with and without the presence of the BipC protein. Overall, the detailed picture of this study provides new insights that BipC may have evolved to efficiently manipulate host-cell pathways which is crucial in the intracellular lifecycle of B. pseudomallei.
Exploring Student Satisfaction in Learning with Podcast Applications: A Qualitative Study Based on Open-Ended Questions

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study aims to explore student satisfaction with the use of podcasts as a learning medium in the Non-News Radio Production course. A qualitative approach was used, with three open-ended questions posed to students: (1) What different experiences did you have when listening to the course material via podcast?(2) Did listening to the course material through podcasts help you focus on understanding the material? And why? And (3) provide your opinion on the Adapto podcast material shared during the Non-News Radio Production course in the 4th semester. The data obtained was thematically analyzed to identify the main emerging themes. The results indicate that students appreciated the flexibility and ease of access provided by the podcasts. Some students felt that podcasts helped them focus better and understand the materials, while others mentioned challenges in maintaining concentration. Feedback on the Adapto podcast content was generally positive, though students also offered suggestions for improvement. These findings suggest that podcasts hold significant potential as an effective learning medium, especially in audio-based courses such as Non-News Radio Production. However, to maximize its benefits, attention should be given to content design and the integration of interactive elements to enhance students’ engagements.
Staring Death in the Face: The Financial Impact of Corporate Exposure to Prior Disasters

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Abstract We examine how firms’ exposure to prior disastrous events can influence their stock market footprint during the coronavirus crisis. While others have drawn comparisons between past pandemics and Covid‐19, we argue that such comparisons are skewed due to the unprecedented reach and consequences of the latter. To better model the structural shock caused by Covid‐19 in the USA, we look at the 9/11 terrorist attacks and specifically examine how firms based in New York City back then reacted to the associated financial turmoil. While 9/11 and Covid‐19 are categorically different events, their short‐term impacts on the stock market, and on New York exchanges in particular, are surprisingly similar. We find firms that financially ‘survived’ 9/11 also managed to do better – or suffer less – by about 7% in terms of stock returns during Covid‐19, compared to control firms that were not exposed to 9/11. In a sense, we show that companies’ prior exposure to 9/11 partly ‘immunized’ them against the consequences of a similarly destabilizing event, albeit two decades later. Interestingly, the trading volume of exposed firms increased due to market buying pressures. Our analysis is robust to various financial proxies, alternative definitions of control firms and varying estimation windows.
Silicone oil in vitreoretinal surgery: indications, complications, new developments and alternative long‐term tamponade agents

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Silicone oil (SO) has been used as a long‐term tamponade agent in the treatment of complicated vitreoretinal diseases for about half a century, during which time many advances in surgical techniques and technologies have been made. This review summarizes the chemical and physical properties of SO, its indications and complications, including particularly emulsification. The mechanisms and risk factors for emulsification are discussed, as well as novel strategies for its effective removal. Finally, the review focuses on new improved formulations of SO, including research into slow‐release pharmacological agents within SO and provides an overview of alternatives to SO for the purpose of long‐term tamponade that are being developed.
Phoretic mites (Rhinoseius spp.) in Apodiformes from Cerrado and Pantanal Biomes in midwestern Brazil

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Nasal mites are commonly found in hummingbirds (Apodiformes). In most cases, endoparasitic mites were reported to parasitize the respiratory system, particularly the anterior nasal chambers, larynx, trachea, lungs, and the air and conjunctival sacs. However, some mites are only carried by hummingbirds, because flowers serving as a nutrient source for these small mites, such as for Apodiformes, a tropical nectar-feeding in their natural habitat. From August 2012 to May 2014, humminbirds were captured using mist nets, and examined for the presence of nasal mites (identified according to specific keys) in the Pantanal, and Cerrado biomes, from the Mato Grosso state, midwestern Brazil. Overall, 76 Apodiform specimens, from the Trochilidae family were captured, and 20 female nasal mites, identified as being from the Rhinoseius genus, were collected from eight hosts (10.5%), of the following species: Amazilia fimbriata, Amazilia versicolor, Eupetonema macroura, and Thalurania furcata. The Rhinoseius spp. has been reported on, in many ecosystems in the Americas, including Brazil, however, this is the first report on Apodiformes from the Pantanal biome. Phoretic mites are not responsible for direct damage to the population of Apodiformes, as they are not pathogenic. However, they compete for food with hummingbirds and decrease the quantity of food available in the environment. They also affect the reproductive dynamics of plants, feed on pollen, and interfere with the intricacies of the biodiversity where they live.

IgA class reticulin antibodies in relatives of patients with coeliac disease.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

IgA class reticulin antibodies were not found in patients with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and hiatus hernia despite a significant incidence of IgG class reticulin antibodies. None of 56 normal healthy subjects was positive. In contrast, 13 (76%) of the sera from 17 patients with coeliac disease on normal diet were positive for IgA class antibodies as were 19 (20%) of 93 first degree relatives. Seventy-three relatives underwent jejunal biopsy. Grade III (flat) histology was found in 13 and, of these patients, 10 (77%) showed IgA class reticulin antibody in their serum. It is suggested that determination of IgA class reticulin antibodies was a useful test to determine which relative must be biopsied.
Is one better than two?

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

In 1746, Dr. Pierre Fauchard wrote: Those who are diligent on the conservation of their teeth and who wish to avoid being the victim of their error or their negligence ought to have them examined two or three times every year by an experienced dentist. This long-established assumption on dental recall has been challenged. According to Dr. Derek Richards, editor of Evidence-based dentistry, more evidence for the appropriate dental checkup visit interval is needed.

The recent study results of Dr. W. V. Giannobile published in the Journal of Dental Research set off a hot debate on the dental checkup interval issue. In this paper, he reported that getting one versus two dental checkups annually made no difference in tooth loss due to progressive periodontitis in low-risk patients, but made a significant difference in high-risk patients. Risk classification of the subjects was based on the history of smoking, diabetes, and the presence of the interleukin-1 genotype.

Some critics have claimed that these findings are not applicable to the general public because without a dental caries risk factor assessment and a direct check of patients' oral hygiene status, the optimal dental recall interval cannot be determined. However, we do have a basis for customizing dental recall times for patients: Clinical Guideline 19 from the National Collaborating Centre for Acute Care in the UK, which provides a 5-step heuristic based on demographic, behavioral, and diagnostic information for determining an individual's proper dental recall interval.

It stands to reason that the issue of dental checkup intervals is truly worthy of debate given its public and private health impacts. However, we should not allow the debate should to be reduced to deciding on the optimal number of checkup intervals for the general public. Dr. Giannobile took pains to emphasize that his data that should not be interpreted as evidence for a certain dental recall interval, but rather that individualized treatment would be more effective than a standardized recall interval, both for those who need more frequent care and those who do not need checkups as often.

Therefore, our focus should be on finding useful measures for personalized dentistry. We welcome ongoing debate on the individualization of care based on additional clinical evidence.
[Acetaminophen - A modern classic under suspicion].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Paracetamol is one of the most popular and widely used drugs for the treatment of pain and fever and provides safe and effective relief of these symptoms since decades. The mechanism of action is very complex and involves the inhibition of the peroxidase portion of the cyclooxygenase enzyme together with the modulation of the serotoninergic and cannabinoid system. Paracetamol is a safe drug, if used in accordance with the regulations and has demonstrated a superior side effect profile to many widely used NSAIDs.
Hornworm and Budworm Control on Flue-Cured Tobacco, 1983

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Tobacco that had been used in a previous study was cut off ca. 6 in. above the soil surface on 29 Jul. and single suckers were encouraged to develop on each plant. Plots, 12-ft (three rows) by 20-ft (12 plants), were separated by single border rows and 5-ft vacant alleys. Plots were arranged in a randomized complete block of four replications. Hornworms and budworms were counted on 11 plants in each plot on 2 Sep. (pretreatraent) and 6 and 15 Sep. Insecticides were applied 3 Sep. Proxol 80 SP, Orthene 75SP, and Dipel WP were mixed with cornmeal to prepare the desired bait formulations. Some bait treatments were applied manually to the bud. Other baits were applied with a manual duster. Foliar treatments were applied with a CO2-powered back-pack sprayer that delivered 10 gal of finished spray/acre through a TX-18 tip.

Du contrôle anti-dopage aux contrôles des médications chez le cheval : l'approche européenne

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Antidoping control is undergoing major changes on a European level. Equestrian authorities now recognize two types of molecules (xenobiotics) subject to two different control strategies. The most sensitive techniques will be used to track the slightest presence (exposure) of substances prohibited in sports (anabolic steroids, amphetamines…). On the other hand, for molecules used legitimately as medication, such as anti-inflammatories, only concentrations which are above a value able to compromise the competition fairness will be reported i. e. residual plasma and urinary levels of these substances will be interpreted in terms of their biological activity. Consequently, assay techniques are or will be chosen to guarantee a lack of effect rather than the evidence of exposure. These changes in antidoping control concerning medications control required the development of a systematic approach, to define effective plasma levels as well as plasma and urinary concentrations considered as devoid of biological activity. This approach is part of a more general concept of risk analysis, which includes two stages : scientific risk evaluation to define critical drug levels, and risk management by the Authorities that set the final values to implement.
