One-Rod Contraceptive Implant as a Postpartum Contraceptive Option

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In an effort to increase family planning coverage, reduce high-risk pregnancies, reduce the incidence of unwanted pregnancies, and reduce maternal mortality, long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) in the form of IUDs and implants are routinely used as postpartum contraception. Postpartum contraception use supports the reduction of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates.The use of implant contraception has undergone several developments from six-rods, two-rods to one-rod. A one-rod contraceptive refers to a type of LARC implant, typically containing a progestin hormone, that is inserted under the skin of a woman’s upper arm. Included among the contraceptive techniques thought safe for immediate postpartum usage, it offers efficient, reversible contraception for several years (generally 3-5 years depending on the brand). A postpartum contraceptive helps to avoid unplanned and closely spaced pregnancies, allows a woman’s body enough time to recover from birth, therefore lowering the risk of maternal anemia and other complications, also progestin-only contraceptives and non-hormonal strategies are usually preferred for breastfeeding women as estrogen-containing methods may lower milk production.
Ghost-ray reduction and early results from the third FOXSI sounding rocket flight

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager (FOXSI) sounding rocket experiment demonstrates the technique of focusing hard X-ray (HXR) optics for the study of fundamental questions about the high-energy Sun. Solar HXRs provide one of the most direct diagnostics of accelerated electrons and the impulsive heating of the solar corona. Previous solar missions have been limited in sensitivity and dynamic range by the use of indirect imaging, but technological advances now make direct focusing accessible in the HXR regime, and the FOXSI rocket experiment optimizes HXR focusing telescopes for the unique scientific requirements of the Sun. FOXSI has completed three successful flights between 2012 and 2018. This paper gives a brief overview of the experiment, focusing on the third flight of the instrument on 2018 Sept. 7. We present the telescope upgrades highlighting our work to understand and reduce the effects of singly reflected X-rays and show early science results obtained during FOXSI's third flight.
Tsunami Early Warning Detection using Bayesian Classifier

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Tsunami is a term for disaster where the seawater rises to the land caused by the great earthquake with a shallow epicenter in the ocean. Indonesia is vulnerable to the tsunami; especially in the area where the junction of Eurasia, Indo-Australia, and Pacific Plates meet. Soon after the earthquake happened, there is a time interval before a tsunami to come. The break-time can be used to alert people to evacuate themselves from the Tsunami. This study proposed a tsunami early warning system, which autonomously predicts the potential of tsunami hazard using machine learning techniques. Bayesian classifier was trained to predict the tsunami potential. The tsunami training data was taken from the InaTews website; a national project of Indonesia that involves many institutions, local or international. InaTews informed the real-time data of earthquakes and tsunami that happened in Indonesia. The proposed methods extracted some invariant characteristics from the data and trained the machine learning classifiers to predict the potential result; either tsunami or not-tsunami using three parameters of earthquake: magnitude, epicenter, and location. The experiment gave an optimistic result; using a varying number of training data, it gained 92.37% on the average accuracy rate and 0.98 on the F1 score.
Positive Education and Student Wellbeing: A Review of Relationship between Gifted and Non-Gifted Students' Wellbeing and High Achievement

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In the pursuit of fostering creativity and technology for innovative economies, students' wellbeing has grown globally. Positive education, which emphasises nurturing strengths for wellbeing and peak performance, plays a crucial role. Yet, research on its impact in disciplines, especially STEM areas, is limited. This article reviews 57 studies limited to gifted and non-gifted students, including STEM subjects, to analyse the relationship between positive education and gifted student achievements. Examining literature from 1999 to 2023, the study highlights the significant connection between wellbeingfocused education and academic success. Findings reveal that not only individuals' character traits, constitute inward restorative defenses against mental health issues across all age groups but also the gifted, particularly gifted males, are more susceptible to mental disorders compared to their nongifted and normal or average-intelligence counterparts. The research highlights the importance of identifying gifted students early, utilising their potential for wellbeing and improved outcomes, especially in interdisciplinary fields such as STEM. Incorporating gifted education and wellbeing into preservice teacher education through holistic institutional approaches is crucial, particularly in the context of developing African nations. The study also suggests socio-emotional development for advancing academics, especially in STEM. This research suggests future exploration into the intersection of positive education and students' academic accomplishment.
New methods for the release of volatile sulfur compounds from human serum: its determination by Tenax trapping and gas chromatography and its application in liver diseases.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

New methods are described for the release of sulfur volatiles from human serum or whole blood and for its determination by Tenax trapping and gas chromatography by use of a specific sulfur detector. Methanethiol (MT) is covalently bound in serum in at least two different ways. One fraction of MT is released by addition of acid and is covalently bound to a compound with a mol wt less than 500, probably as methyl-beta-D-thioglucuronide. Another fraction of MT is released by reaction with dithiothreitol and is covalently bound to proteins in a disulfide linkage. No significant differences were observed in the protein-bound MT fraction between normal individuals and patients with cirrhosis. In contrast, the acid-hydrolyzable MT fraction was significantly elevated (P less than 0.0001) in the group with cirrhosis (0.41 +/- 0.19 mumol/L, mean +/- SD, n = 39) compared with the normal group (0.22 +/- 0.04 mumol/L, n = 21). The acid-hydrolyzable MT fraction is excreted in the urine. The concentration in normal persons amounted to 9 to 37 mumol/L. Dimethylsulfide (DMS) was measured in whole blood. There was a close correlation between venous blood DMS concentration and its concentration in breath. Dimethyldisulfide was not present in detectable amounts in the blood of normal individuals. Ethanethiol was absent in the serum and blood of all studied subjects.
Thymus zygis Subsp. Gracilis:  Watering Level Effect on Phytomass Production and Essential Oil Quality

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Thymus zygis subsp. gracilis (chemotype thymol) was evaluated on the basis of its phytomass production and essential oil quality. Three different watering levels were assayed to achieve 63, 44, and 30% of the local potential evapotranspiration (Eto). According to the statistical analysis, a water supplement equivalent to 44% Eto in this cultivation area was optimal for maximum plant dry matter production and essential oil yield. Capillary GC-MS analysis of the essential oil allowed the identification of 86 volatile components. Among them, 30 are described for the first time as volatile constituents of the essential oil in this thyme subspecies and chemotype. The watering level effect on essential oil composition was noticeable, because the application of a water supplement equivalent to the 63% Eto favored the production of an essential oil richer in low molecular weight components. However, the greatest thymol concentrations were obtained under the 30 and 44% Eto watering levels.

Azospirillum brasilenseinoculation counteracts the induction of nitrate uptake in maize plants

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Nitrogen (N) represents one of the limiting factors for crop growth and productivity and to date has been widely supplied via external application of fertilizers. However, the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) might represent a valuable tool to further improve plant nutrition. This study examines the influence of Azospirillum brasilense strain Cd on nitrate uptake in maize (Zea mays) plants, focusing on the high-affinity transport system (HATS). Plants were induced with nitrate (500 µM) and either inoculated or not with Azospirillum. Inoculation decreased the nitrate uptake rate in induced plants, suggesting that Azospirillum may negatively affect HATS in the short term. The expression dynamics of ZmNF-YA and ZmLBD37 suggested that Azospirillum affected the N balance in the plants, most probably by supplying them with reduced N, i.e. NH4+. This was further corroborated by measurements of total N and the expression of ammonium transporter genes. Overall, our data demonstrate that Azospirillum can counteract the plant response to nitrate induction, albeit without compromising N nutrition. This suggests that the agricultural application of microbial inoculants requires fine-tuning of external fertilizer inputs.
P97 Post-traumatic bilateral pseudoaneurysms of the middle meningeal artery: case report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 67-year-old male with no relevant medical history who was brought to the emergency room after he was found by a companion with a right temporal and orbital trauma. In the neurological examination, he was somnolent, disoriented in time and space, with isochoric normoreactive, retrograde amnesia of the event, without motor deficit. Simple cranial computed tomography (CT) scan: fracture of the squamous portion of the temporal bone, right frontotemporal SAH and temporal intraparenchymal hemorrhage. Digital subtraction angiography, pseudoaneurysm of the right middle meningeal artery (direct trauma). Endovascular embolization treatment was performed with two coils (7mm x 30cm Concerto Helix Coil and 5mm x 15cm Concerto Helix Coil) for a 100% occlusion. A second pseudoaneurysm was found in the left MMA probably shear stress trauma. Endovascular embolization was performed of the second pseudoaneurysm with 21% Histoacryl for 100% occlusion.

Conclusion

MMA traumatic pseudoaneurysms are an infrequent pathology (<1% intracranial aneurysm) associated with head trauma. Bilateral pseudoaneurysms are even more uncommon. Because the natural history is under discussion and its mortality is high (20–25%) in case of rupture, it is important to perform an early diagnosis and timely treatment to prevent a catastrophic outcome.
IMPROVEMENT OF FOOD DRYING QUALITY BY FLOW MANIPULATION TECHNIQUES

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Optimization of the parameters that represent the driving forces in drying processes, led to the increase of the system performance, energy savings, and high quality of the final product. Air flow field inside a 5-ton capacity drying room was simulated and analysed with "PHOENICS" CFD code for different geometry configurations. Laboratory measurements validated the turbulence model used in simulation. The results were implemented on an industrial dryer that operates in Kimi, Greece.
Tumor-induced granulopoiesis unrelated to colony-stimulating factor

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract A transplantable granulocytosis-inducing mammary adenocarcinoma of mice was used to provide evidence about the role of tumor-generated factors in granulopoiesis. The original tumor produced high levels of colony- stimulating factor (CSF) in culture as well as inhibitor to CSF. The tumor was passaged repeatedly, both in host mice and in culture, and eventually displayed a varying capacity to induce granulocytosis. Tumors that were associated with either the induction of extreme granulocytosis or near-normal granulocyte levels were selected and passaged intermittently in vivo and in culture. Two tumor lines were thus isolated: one, line C-4a, inducing granulocytosis, and the other, line 34–4H, failing to induce granulocytosis. Both lines grow at the same rate in host mice, but in culture, each displays a distinct morphology. Measurement of CSF and inhibitor produced by each line in culture showed that line 34–4H retained the capacity to produce CSF and inhibitor in spite of losing the ability to influence granulopoiesis in vivo. This suggests that the various factors shown to influence granulopoiesis in vitro may have little or no role as physiologic regulators in vivo.
The presence of Listeria monocytogenes in raw milk samples in Mashhad, Iran

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

The purpose of this preliminary study was to determine the prevalence of raw milk contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. In this study, 100 bulk tank milk samples were collected randomly and delivered to Pegah Pasteurization Factory in Mashhad. For isolation and identification of L. monocytogenes, the samples were first enriched using cold enrichment method in Listeria enrichment broth, followed by plating onto supplemented Oxford agar. For final identification of suspected colonies a multiplex-PCR assay, using two pair of primers was employed. The prs primers are specific for putative phophoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase (prs) gene of Listeria spp. and the LM lip1 primers are specific for prf A gene of its monocytogenes serovar. Using this method, the contamination of raw milk with L. monocytogenes was determined to be 4% and the sensitivity of the primers was 3.5 × 10 3 cfu ml -1 , and the specificity was determined to be 100%. Considering the high specificity and sensitivity of the employed multiplex-PCR assay, it is recommended to use this method for the identification of suspected colonies of Listeria spp. and L. monocytogenes.
Intelligent Mobile Sensor System for drum inspection and monitoring -- Volume 1. Final report, October 1, 1993--April 22, 1995

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The objective of the Intelligent Mobile Sensor System (IMSS) project is to develop an operational system for monitoring and inspection activities for waste storage facility operations at several DOE sites. Specifically, the product of this effort is a robotic device with enhanced intelligence and maneuverability capable of conducting routine inspection of stored waste drums. The device is capable of operating in the narrow free aisle space between rows of stacked drums. The system has an integrated sensor suite for problem-drum detection, and is linked to a site database both for inspection planning and for data correlation, updating, and report generation. The system is capable of departing on an assigned mission, collecting required data, recording which portions of its mission had to be aborted or modified due to environmental constraints, and reporting back when the mission is complete. Successful identification of more than 96% of drum defects has been demonstrated in a high fidelity waste storage facility mockup. Identified anomalies included rust spots, rust streaks, areas of corrosion, dents, and tilted drums. All drums were positively identified and correlated with the site database. This development effort is separated into three phases of which phase two is now complete. The first phase demonstrated an integrated system (maturity level IVa) for monitoring and inspection activities for waste storage facility operations. The second phase demonstrated a prototype system appropriate for operational use in an actual storage facility. The prototype provides an integrated design that considers operational requirements, hardware costs, maintenance, safety, and robustness. The final phase will demonstrate commercial viability using the prototype vehicle in a pilot waste operations and inspection project. This report summarizes the design and evaluation of the new IMSS Phase 2 system and vehicle.
Frequency-Coupling Impedance Model Based Analysis of a High-Frequency Resonance Incident in an Actual MMC-HVDC System

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Recently, a high-frequency resonance (HFR) incident has been captured in an actual HVDC project of China Southern Power Grid, which is regarded as a new stability issue caused by the interaction between the modular multilevel converter (MMC) and the weak ac grid. To investigate this event, this paper proposes a stability analysis method based on the frequency-coupling impedance model (FCIM). First, the FCIMs of the MMC and the ac grid are established in abc-frame individually with the frequency coupling effect of the MMC taken into account. Next, they are aggregated into a two-by-two impedance matrix by numerical calculation. Then, based on the aggregated FCIM, a criterion is developed to locate the HFR modes and to evaluate their stability. Finally, the results obtained from FCIM-based analysis are verified by electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations as well as the field measurements.
When is Tenure Long Enough? A Historical Analysis of Superintendent Turnover and Tenure in Urban School Districts

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The short tenure and frequent turnover of urban superintendents has been attributed to the growing unmanageability of urban school districts. This instability at the top is said to limit the prospects for sustained reform. In this article, we calculate the average tenure of urban superintendents since the turn of the century. Our research suggests that the tenure of superintendents has been decreasing, but not in a linear fashion and not as precipitously as is often reported in the press. We believe that a complex mix of environmental, local, and professional factors may help explain changes in tenure, but the causal and interactive relationships between them remains a mystery. Nevertheless, our findings suggest the longer-than-anticipated tenures raise questions about the relationship of "short tenures" and the problems facing urban school districts.
Prenatal diagnosis of triploidy in second trimester of pregnancy: a series of 4 cases over an eleven-year period / Diagnosticul prenatal al triploidiei în trimestrul al II-lea de sarcină: o serie de patru cazuri depistate în unsprezece ani

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Triploidy is a numerical chromosomal anomaly characterized by the presence of three sets of haploid chromosomes. The incidence is hard to evaluate, because usually it causes 1st trimester miscarriage. At 20 weeks of amenorrhea the incidence of triploidy is estimated at 1/250,000 cases. We present 4 cases of triploidy diagnosed during the decade 2003-2013 in the Prenatal Diagnosis Department of Maternity “Cuza-Vodă” Iasi, Romania, all registered in one year. The analysis of pathological cases identified in the last 11 years by prenatal diagnosis has shown that triploidies represented only 5.7% of numeric chromosomal anomalies, but in 2013 the four cases of triploidy represented 36% of numeric chromosomal anomalies. The karyotypes were recommended after discovering different congenital anomalies by ultrasound scan. In all cases, an intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) was present but with no placental changes. Also, we discovered anomalies of limbs, congenital anomalies of heart and some dysmorphic features. This series demonstrates that triploidy may be discovered in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy and has a heterogeneous aspect at ultrasound scan, which can generate diagnostic difficulties. Therefore, the detection by ultrasound scan, at 18-22 weeks of pregnancy, of complex foetal morphological abnormalities should be an important reason for amniocentesis to search chromosomal anomalies
Yielding Self-Perception in Robots Through Sensorimotor Contingencies

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We address self-perception in robots as the key for world understanding and causality interpretation. We present a self-perception mechanism that enables a humanoid robot to understand certain sensory changes caused by naive actions during interaction with objects. Visual, proprioceptive and tactile cues are combined via artificial attention and probabilistic reasoning to permit the robot to discern between inbody and outbody sources in the scene. With that support and exploiting intermodal sensory contingencies, the robot can infer simple concepts such as discovering potential "usable" objects. Theoretically and through experimentation with a real humanoid robot, we show how self-perception is a backdrop ability for high order cognitive skills. Moreover, we present a novel model for self-detection, which does not need to track the body parts. Furthermore, results show that the proposed approach successfully discovers objects in the reaching space, improving scene understanding by discriminating real objects from visual artifacts.
