How is HRD related to other disciplines? The analysis of 100 most frequently cited empirical articles published in three HRD journals

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose Human resource development (HRD) as an applied discipline is an example of a scholarly field that has emerged through the collaboration of scholars and practitioners with backgrounds in various foundational disciplines. This study interested in both the influence of other disciplines on HRD research and in HRD’s influence on other disciplines. The purpose of this study is to take stock of the relationships between HRD research and research in other academic disciplines affecting and affected by HRD research. Design/methodology/approach The study used content analysis of the top 100 most frequently cited empirical articles published in three HRD journals between 2000 and 2019 to identify disciplinary foundations of HRD research. The influence of HRD on other disciplines was scrutinized through citation analysis of work citing the top 100 articles. In addition, categorizing the 100 articles into six research themes, the influence of six research themes on citation patterns was explored. Findings The findings indicated that empirical research in HRD, as represented by the top 100 articles, relied mainly on theories and frameworks from two disciplines, management and psychology. Another important finding is that the top 100 HRD articles were cited most often in management publications and the rate of citation in management journals has been growing rapidly since 2005. The citation frequency of HRD articles in other disciplines including psychology, social sciences, education and medicine and nursing shows a general upward trend as well. In addition, there was a difference in disciplines providing theoretical foundations to the HRD articles and citing the articles depending on six predominant research themes, identified in HRD articles. Originality/value This study empirically identified theories and disciplines contributing to HRD research, considering the influence of cited research on the HRD articles through content analysis. In addition, the findings of this study broadened the understanding of the relationship between HRD research and other disciplines by examining the contributions of HRD articles to other disciplines. Finally, this research provided new information regarding the changes in dominant themes in HRD research over time.
Quercetin depletes intracellular Ca2+ stores and blunts ATP‐triggered Ca2+ signaling in bEnd.3 endothelial cells

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

Abstract Quercetin is a flavonol polyphenol widely found in many vegetables, grains, and fruits. Quercetin has been shown to inhibit proliferation and invasion of various glioma cells and is regarded as a potential anticancer agent against glioma. However, whether and how this drug could affect brain blood vessels and endothelial cells (EC) are less understood. Further, there is hitherto no report on how quercetin affects brain EC Ca 2+ homeostasis. In this report, we investigated the effects of quercetin on Ca 2+ homeostasis in mouse brain bEnd.3 EC. We demonstrated that quercetin raised cytosolic Ca 2+ level in a concentration‐dependent manner. Quercetin‐triggered Ca 2+ signal composed of both internal Ca 2+ release and extracellular Ca 2+ influx. Quercetin caused Ca 2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum, and consistently, inhibition of inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) by xestospongin C (XeC) suppressed quercetin‐triggered Ca 2+ release. Quercetin also caused Ca 2+ release from lysosomes, an observation in concordance with the inhibition of quercetin‐triggered Ca 2+ release by trans ‐Ned‐19, a blocker of two‐pore channels. As quercetin depleted intracellular Ca 2+ storage, it suppressed ATP‐induced Ca 2+ release and thereby blunted ATP‐triggered Ca 2+ signaling. In addition, quercetin co‐treatment significantly suppressed ATP‐stimulated nitric oxide release. Our work therefore showed, for the first time, quercetin perturbed intracellular Ca 2+ stores and strongly suppressed ATP‐triggered response in bEnd.3 cells.

RELATION OF PORTALS OF ENTRY TO SUBACUTE BACTERIAL ENDOCARDITIS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

As part of an investigation in subacute bacterial endocarditis the records of 364 patients admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital in the past fourteen years (to October 1933) have been analyzed, with particular attention to the antecedent history and the manner of onset. Several interesting facts were noted which are reported here. The outstanding feature of the cases studied is the frequency with which the onset of subacute bacterial endocarditis is associated with an immediately preceding acute infection of the upper respiratory tract, tonsillitis or grip. This relationship has been noted by others. Libman,1in an article on the prognosis in subacute bacterial endocarditis, pointed out that the onset can occur with an attack of acute tonsillitis. He also wrote that "there is evidence which indicates that repetition of infection (in cases with recurrent attacks) may be due to an invasion from focal infections." In a subsequent article2he
Transglycosylation Action of Amylases

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

By using the substrates of defined anomeric form, with very brief incubation to limit mutarotation, evidence has been obtained that the condensations require donor substrates of specific configuration. That is, crystalline glucoamylase from Rh, niveus has been found to catalyze the rapid synthesis of maltose and a slower synthesis of isomaltose specifically from β-D-glucopyranose. Crystalline sweet potato β-amylase, likewise, has been found to catalyze the rapid synthesis of maltotetraose specifically from β-maltose, and crystalline hog pancreatic α-amylase the rapid synthesis of maltotetraose specifically from α-maltose. A rapid approach to equilibrium was found both in maltose synthesis from, β-D-glucopyranose by glucoamylase, and in maltotetraose synthesis from β-maltose by β-amylase. Moreover, essentially the same equilibrium (Keq=ca. 0.13) was reached by these homologous hemiacetalto-secondary carbinol condensations. The configurational inversion accompanying both condensations, finally, reveals their mechanism as one of glycosyl transfer. Crystalline a-amylases from six different biological sources, as well as crude salivary amylase, were examined and found to catalyze the synthesis of maltose and maltosaccharides from α-D-glucopyranosyl fluoride, a stereoanalog of α-D-glucopyranose. The entire group of a-amylases had the capacity to promote α-D-glucosyl transfer from α-D-glucosyl fluoride to C4-carbinol sites, demonstrating for the first time that α-amylases possess in common the capacity to catalyze glycosylation (i. e., glycosyl-hydrogen interchange) reaction extending beyond hydrolysis and its reversal. Similar de novo synthesis of maltosaccharides from α-maltosyl fluoride by a-amylases was also discussed.
New Hope for Delaying Clinical Onset of Rheumatoid Arthritis: Early Intervention with Rituximab

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly prevalent autoimmune disease that affects 16 million people globally. It is caused by an inflammatory autoimmune response that results in swelling of the joints and chronic pain. While we know that RA operates via the immune system, the specific mechanisms of RA pathogenesis are not fully understood, making diagnosis and treatment options limited. Rituximab, a monoclonal CD20 antibody, is a current form of RA treatment that specifically targets autoreactive B-cells to help mitigate the symptoms of RA at the clinical stage. Gerlag et al. (2019) outline a preventative window of opportunity for preclinical RA intervention with rituximab and identified two predictive biomarkers through exploratory methods. Their findings demonstrate that early administration of rituximab during preclinical RA delays disease onset and impedes its progression. This timeframe for intervention offers a promising first step for future studies investigating RA mechanisms and early treatments.
The distribution of Rotavirus G and P genotypes in children with acute gastroenteritis in Cukurova region, Turkey

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Rotavirus is the major cause of acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children worldwide. The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of rotavirus infection and the distribution of rotavirus G and P genotype combination among children under 5 years of age with acute gastroenteritis in Cukurova region, Turkey, between October 2009 and June 2010.Material and Methods: The stool specimens (n=846) collected from children with acute gastroenteritis were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for group A rotavirus antigen. Semi-nested multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test was performed for rotavirus G and P genotyping.Results: The rate of rotavirus infection was found to be in 144 patients (17%). The predominant rotavirus genotype was G1P[8] (22.2%), followed by G1P[4] (17.3%), G2P[4] (13.8%), G9P[4] (6.3%), G9P[8] (4.8%), G2P[8] (2.8%), G1P[10] (2.1%) and G4P[8] (1.4%). The most common G genotype was G1 (41.7%), followed by G2 (16.6%), G9 (11.1%) and G4 (1.4%). Rotavirus P[4] genotype was identified in 37.5%, P[8] in 31.2% and P[10] in 2.1% of samples. The prevalence of mixed rotavirus infections was 29.2% (n=42).Conclusion: Although the predominant rotavirus genotypes circulating during the study period in our region are targets of current rotavirus vaccines, uncommon, non-vaccine rotavirus genotype combinations such as G1P[4] and G9P[4], which might appear to be the result of mixed rotavirus infections with high rate (29.2%), were also detected. G1 is included in both recent rotavirus vaccines. The continuous investigation of molecular epidemiology of rotavirus infections is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of rotavirus vaccines.
CoPA: Cold Page Awakening to Overcome Retention Failures in STT-MRAM Based I/O Buffers

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Performance and reliability are two prominent factors in the design of data storage systems. To achieve higher performance, recently storage system designers use DRAM-based buffers. The volatility of DRAM brings up the possibility of data loss, so a part of the main storage is conventionally used as the journal area to be able of recovering unflushed data pages in the case of power failure. Moreover, periodically flushing buffered data pages to the main storage is a common mechanism to preserve a high level of reliability, which leads to an increase in storage write traffic. To address this shortcoming, recent studies offer a small NVM as the Persistent Journal Area (PJA) along with DRAM as an efficient approach, named NVM-Backed Buffer (NVB-Buffer). This approach aims to address DRAM vulnerability against power failure while reducing storage write traffic. In this paper, we use the most promising technologies for PJA among the emerging technologies, which is STT-MRAM to meet the requirements of PJA (high endurance, non-volatility, and DRAM-like latency). However, STT-MRAM faces major reliability challenges, i.e. Retention Failure, Read Disturbance, and Write Failure. In this paper, we first show that retention failure is the dominant source of errors in NVB-Buffers as it suffers from long and unpredictable page idle intervals. Then, we propose a novel NVB-Buffer management scheme, named, Cold Page Awakening (CoPA), which predictably reduces the idle time of PJA pages. To this aim, CoPA employs Distant Refreshing to periodically overwrite the vulnerable PJA page contents by using their replica in DRAM-based buffer. We compare CoPA with the state-of-the-art schemes over several workloads based on physical journaling. Our evaluations show that employing CoPA leads to three orders of magnitude lower failure rate with negligible performance degradation (1.1%) and memory overhead (1.2%).

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

To study fast ion confinement and transport mechanisms both in quiescent plasmas and in the presence of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) activity, an electric field parallel to the magnetic field type neutral particle analyzer (E||B-NPA) was installed using Micro-Channel Plates (MCPs) in the Large Helical Device (LHD). The E||B-NPA is an established diagnostic used to measure the energy distribution of charge exchange neutral particles escaping from plasmas corresponding to hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium, respectively.
EFFECTS OF ELECTROMYOSTIMULATION TRAINING ON MUSCLE STRENGTH AND POWER OF ELITE RUGBY PLAYERS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The present study investigated the influence of a 12-week electromyostimulation (EMS) training program performed by elite rugby players. Twenty-five rugby players participated in the study, 15 in an electrostimulated group and the remaining 10 in a control group. EMS was conducted on the knee extensor, plantar flexor, and gluteus muscles. During the first 6 weeks, training sessions were carried out 3 times a week and during the last 6 weeks, once a week. Iso-kinetic torque of the knee extensors was determined at different eccentric and concentric angular velocities ranging from = 120 to 360°·s-1. Scrummaging and full squat strength, vertical jump height and sprint-running times were also evaluated. After the first 6 weeks of EMS, only the squat strength was significantly improved (+ 8.3 ± 6.5%; p < 0.01). After the 12th week, the −120°·s-1 maximal eccentric, 120 and 240°·s-1 maximal concentric torque (p < 0.05), squat strength (+ 15.0 ± 8.0%; p < 0.001), squat jump (+ 10.0 ± 9.5%; p < 0.01), and drop jump from a 40-cm height (+ 6.6 ± 6.1%; p < 0.05) were significantly improved. No significant change was observed for the control group. A 12-week EMS training program demonstrated beneficial effects on muscle strength and power in elite rugby players on particular tests. However, rugby skills such as scrummaging and sprinting were not enhanced.
Temperature-Controlled Laser Cutting of an Electrical Steel Sheet Using a Novel Fuzzy Logic Controller

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A novel PID-type fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with an online fuzzy tuner was created to maintain stable in situ control of the cutting front temperature, aiming to enhance the laser process for thin non-oriented electrical steel sheets. In the developed controller, the output scaling factors and the universe of discourse were initially optimized using a hybrid of the particle swarm optimization and grey wolf optimization methods. The optimal parameters obtained were utilized in experiments involving the laser cutting of thin non-oriented electrical steel sheets, compared to an open-loop control system maintaining a constant cutting speed. The PID-type FLC with an online fuzzy tuner demonstrated a superior cutting quality, generating a smaller roundness and a reduced heat-affected zone (HAZ) through the in situ tuning of control parameters. Particularly, the HAZ width was significantly smaller than that reported in a previous study which used fuzzy gain scheduling for temperature control. Moreover, the cutting time was diminished by optimally adjusting the cutting speed using PID-type FLC with an online fuzzy tuner. Therefore, the accumulated heat in the steel sheet, particularly under high laser pulse frequencies, was effectively reduced, making it suitable for industrial applications.
Hand–foot syndrome (HFS) as a potential biomarker of efficacy in patients (pts) with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with sunitinib (SU).

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

320 Background: HFS and related skin toxicities are common side effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as SU, a multitargeted inhibitor of VEGF and PDGF receptors plus other receptor tyrosine kinases. In a randomized phase III trial of treatment-naïve mRCC pts, SU showed superior progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) over interferon-alfa, with a median PFS of 11 mo and median overall survival (OS) of 26.4 mo, establishing SU as a reference standard of care (Motzer et al, 2009). In this retrospective analysis, correlations between SU-associated HFS and efficacy endpoints were investigated in mRCC pts from 5 clinical trials in the first- and second-line treatment settings. Methods: Analyses included pooled data from 770 pts who received single-agent SU as 50 mg/d on a 4-week-on/2-week-off schedule (n=544; 71%) or 37.5 mg continuous once-daily dosing (n=226; 29%). Median PFS and OS were estimated by Kaplan–Meier methods and compared between pts with vs without HFS using a log-rank test. ORR was compared by Pearson's chi-square test. Tumor response was assessed by investigators and adverse events were recorded regularly. Multivariate and time-dependent covariate analyses were performed. Results: Of 770 pts, 179 (23%) developed any-grade HFS, compared with 591 (77%) who did not. Most instances of HFS (63%) initially occurred during the first 3 treatment cycles. Pts who developed HFS had significantly better ORR (55.6% vs. 32.7%), PFS (14.3 vs. 8.3 mo), and OS (38.3 vs. 18.9 mo) than pts who did not develop HFS (p<0.0001). In a multivariate analysis, SU-associated HFS remained a significant independent predictor of both PFS and OS (and of OS by time-dependent covariate analysis). Conclusions: In mRCC pts, SU-associated HFS was significantly and independently associated with improved clinical outcomes. Overall, pts who did not develop HFS still had substantial benefit from SU. However, the presence of HFS identified a subset of pts that manifested highly favorable efficacy results with SU. These findings suggest that development of HFS may serve as a predictive biomarker of SU efficacy, although prospective validation is warranted. [Table: see text]

Does Curcumin Have a Role in the Interaction between Gut Microbiota and Schistosoma mansoni in Mice?

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

There is strong correlation between changes in abundance of specific bacterial species and several diseases including schistosomiasis. Several studies have described therapeutic effects of curcumin (CUR) which may arise from its regulative effects on intestinal microbiota. Thus, we examined the impact of CUR on the diversity of intestinal microbiota with/without infection by Schistosoma mansoni cercariae for 56 days. Enterobacteriaceae was dominating in a naive and S. mansoni infected mice group without CUR treatment, the most predominant species was Escherichia coli with relative density (R.D%) = 80.66% and the least one was Pseudomonas sp. (0.52%). The influence of CUR on murine microbiota composition was examined one week after oral administration of high (40) and low (20 mg/kg b.w.) CUR doses were administered three times, with two day intervals. CUR induced high variation in the Enterobacteriaceae family, characterized by a significant (p < 0.001) reduction in E. coli and asignificant (p < 0.001) increase in Pseudomonas sp. in both naïve and S. mansoni-infected mice, compared to untreated mice, in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, our study showed the effects of high CUR doses on S. mansoni infection immunological and parasitological parameters. These data support CUR's ability to promote Pseudomonas sp. known to produce schistosomicidal toxins and offset the sequelae of murine schistosomiasis.
Cardinal Hermit functions and their application in solving the time-delay fractional optimal control problems

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, a new numerical method for solving the fractional optimal control problem of the time delay is presented. The fractional integral and the fractional derivative are the Riemann-Liouville type and the Caputo type, respectively. In this method, the cardinal Hermite functions are used as a basis to approximate functions. Moreover, we obtain the fractional and delay integral operational matrices and use them to solve this optimal control problem. Using the collocation method, the problem leads to a system of algebraic equations, that is solved by Newton's iterative method. Finally, numerical examples are presented to investigate the efficiency of this method.
