The Relationship of SEDS, Food Intake and Work Engagement among Telecommuting Employees of the Education Sector during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Mixed Method Study

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Due to COVID-19, the shift to telecommuting became a widely used work set-up to maintain economic balance. This work set up is associated with risks to employees' wellness. As prevention to the risks, employees must be provided with ways to understand the telecommuting attributes. In relation, this study targets in understanding the links between the socio-economic demographic status, work engagement, and food intake of the education sector's tele-employees. The 110 samples are gathered from the Senior High school Department using convenience sampling, an online survey, and the mixed method. ANOVA and multi-linear regression are used as statistical treatments. The study found that the older generation with higher Income is more likely linked with higher work engagement. The younger generation, low-income earners, and males are inclined more toward unhealthy foods as compared to their counterparts. Low-income earners perceived that their work engagement falls under the category that energy to work is at a bare minimum level. The participants' education attainment revealed significance with energy-giving or carbohydrate-source foods. The qualitative data highlighted job position was perceived with a link to food intake and work engagement. Unhealthy food consumption is perceived with a beneficial association with work engagement, although it is suggested for further investigation. With these findings, the education sector's stakeholders, nutrition, mental health professionals, and future researchers would mainly benefit from this study for intervention generation.

Half talk : after thought.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

"Each time we talk, we hear half of what was said; listen to half of what was heard; remember half of what we listened to; and end up understanding only half of what we can remember. The process of our conversation is half futile half the time. Perhaps we should start to talk about it." Half Talk is a visual and conceptual exploration of the implicit and ambiguous nature of conversation. Defined by speech and thought, conversation gradually decays when actual thought is left half-said, half-heard and half-deciphered. Rather than what is spoken, this project investigates the importance of hidden thoughts in verbal communication.
Chemical, biological, and immunochemical properties of the Chlamydia psittaci lipopolysaccharide

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Chlamydia psittaci was extracted from yolk sac-grown elementary bodies, purified, and characterized chemically, immunochemically, and biologically. The LPS contained D-galactosamine, D-glucosamine, phosphorus, long-chain fatty acids, and 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid in the molar ratio of approximately 1:2:2:6:5. The antigenic properties of the isolated LPS were compared with those of the LPS from Chlamydia trachomatis and Salmonella minnesota Re by the passive hemolysis and passive hemolysis inhibition tests, absorption, hydrolysis kinetics, and Western blot analysis with rabbit polyclonal antisera against chlamydiae and with a mouse monoclonal antibody recognizing a genus-specific epitope of chlamydial LPS. Two antigenic determinants were identified, one of which was chlamydia specific and the other of which was cross-reactive with Re LPS. Both determinants were destroyed during acid hydrolysis, whereby a third antigen specificity was exposed which was indistinguishable from the lipid A antigenicity. In rabbit polyclonal antisera prepared against Formalin-killed elementary bodies or detergent-solubilized membranes, two antibody specificities were differentiated. One of these was chlamydia specific, and the other was cross-reactive with Re LPS. The LPS of C. psittaci was inactive within typical endotoxin parameters (lethal toxicity, pyrogenicity, local Shwartzman reactivity); it was, however, active in some in vitro assays, such as those testing for mouse B-cell mitogenicity and the induction of prostaglandin E2 in mouse peritoneal macrophages.
A low power switched-capacitor interface for resistive bridge sensors

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A low-power low-offset switched-capacitor interface for resistive bridge sensor designed in UMC 65nm technology is presented. It converts the resistance imbalance of the bridge sensor into a saw tooth frequency using current-mode sensing. The half-bridge sensor interface and quarter-bridge sensor interface are configured to validate the circuit. The sensor interface consumes 337 μW at a 1.2 V single supply and display excellent energy-noise FOM. This is considered as a low-voltage low-energy design with respect to other reported counterparts.
A Method for Closed Irrigation and Suction Therapy in Deep Wound Infections

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

An improved method for closed-system, irrigation-suction, antibiotic-detergent treatment of deep infected wounds has been described. Most of the twenty-four patients in the present series had acute infections of the musculoskeletal system but there were some chronic infections. The method has been simplified by the use of a preoperatively prepared surgical pack and a crisscross flow-reversal arrangement of the tubing. Insertion of the tubes through puncture wounds at surgery is facilitated by the use of Steinmann pins of the proper diameter, which eliminate the likelihood of leakage about the tubes. It is convenient to have three intravenous bottles in place. The desired solution may be selected by appropriate application of clamps on the tubing. One intravenous bottle contains Clorpactin XCB, 0.5 per cent; another, normal saline; the third, Alevaire and the selected antibiotic in normal saline. Precautions in the use of the materials are discussed. The ability to regulate or reverse the flow of solutions precisely is increased by the crisscross tubes. The crisscross flow-reversal feature is considered essential for the prevention of pooling, sinus formation, and clogging of tubes, and as a means to assure maximum contact of the solutions with all parts of wound.
The Abnormally Weighting Energy Hypothesis: the Missing Link between Dark Matter and Dark Energy

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We generalize tensor-scalar theories of gravitation by the introduction of an abnormally weighting type of energy. This theory of tensor-scalar anomalous gravity is based on a relaxation of the weak equivalence principle that is now restricted to ordinary visible matter only. As a consequence, the convergence mechanism toward general relativity is modified and produces naturally cosmic acceleration as an inescapable gravitational feedback induced by the mass-variation of some invisible sector. The cosmological implications of this new theoretical framework are studied. From the Hubble diagram cosmological test \textit{alone}, this theory provides an estimation of the amount of baryons and dark matter in the Universe that is consistent with the independent cosmological tests of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). Cosmic coincidence is naturally achieved from a equally natural assumption on the amplitude of the scalar coupling strength. Finally, from the adequacy to supernovae data, we derive a new intriguing relation between the space-time dependences of the gravitational coupling and the dark matter mass, providing an example of crucial constraint on microphysics from cosmology. This glimpses at an enticing new symmetry between the visible and invisible sectors, namely that the scalar charges of visible and invisible matter are exactly opposite.
Hydrology of area 14, Eastern Coal Province, Kentucky

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The general hydrology of Area 14, Eastern Coal Province, in Kentucky, is described. The area includes 4,423 square miles in the Kentucky, Licking, and Red River basins. Coal-bearing rocks of Pennsylvanian age underlie most of the area. Coal production in 1978 was about 38 million tons, 65% of which was from surface mining. The drainage from the mined areas contains large amounts of dissolved solids. Sulfate, manganese, and iron concentrations in most of the area streams exceed background levels, with the higher concentrations in streams draining the headwaters of the North and Middle Forks of the Kentucky River. The pH of most of the streams is near neutral acid-mine drainage being partially neutralized close to its source. Ground waters in the upper 300 feet of the aquifers are generally suitable for most purposes, although dissolved iron is generally high. Below 300 feet, the water is saline. Yields to wells range from 1 to 325 gallons per minute. A network of 66 surface quantity and quality of water stations was implemented in 1979 in response to the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1977. An intensive study of the ground water resources of the area is also in progress. (USGS)
Perspectives of Alienation in the Digital Labour Market. A Debate and Empirical Proposals between Philosophy, Sociology and Human Rights

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The concept of alienation has long been central in philosophical and sociological thought, especially within critiques of industrial capitalism. With the advent of artificial intelligence and digital technologies, alienation has taken new forms in the digital labour market. This paper re-examines alienation through both theoretical and empirical lenses, drawing on Marxist, existentialist, and contemporary critical theories. We explore how algorithmic management, digital surveillance, and the fragmentation of work under digital capitalism contribute to feelings of powerlessness, detachment, and diminished autonomy. The study focuses on how these dynamics reshape human labour, not only in terms of productivity but also in the erosion of agency and recognition. Empirical evidence from education and the gig economy highlights the socio-psychological consequences of algorithmic control. We propose that alienation should be reconceived not merely as a private psychological response, but as a systemic, organizational, and collective phenomenon. Finally, the paper suggests alternatives such as ethical AI, cooperative work models, and legal safeguards to mitigate digital alienation. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining philosophy and sociology, the study aims to update the concept of alienation for the digital era and provide tools for understanding and transforming contemporary work.
Influence of Different Tillage Depth on Soil and Maize Yields in Three Growing Seasons in the North China Plain

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Rotary tillage is a main management tillage practices and widely applied in the North China Plain. However, the long term rotary tillage (depth of 20 cm) results in soil compaction and plow pan formation, which reduces water use efficiency and nutrient uptake, and then impedes the yield increase. In this study, a 3-year field experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of different depths of tillage on soil bulk density, field capacity, water use, photosynthetic rate, nutrients and maize yields in the North China Plain. Three depths of tillage (D20, depth of 20 cm; D25, depth of 25 cm; D30, depth of 30 cm) were assessed. D25 and D30 significantly reduced soil bulk density and improved field capacity in 10-20 and 20-30 cm soil layer, compared to D20. Soil water consumption for D25 was significantly higher 10.12% and 6.61% than that for D20 and D30, respectively. Photosynthetic rate for D25 significantly improved than that for D20 and D30. Total nitrogen in 0-20cm soil layer decreased with the depths of tillage. The maize yields for D25 significantly increased by 20.92% and 21.56% compared to that for D20 and D30, respectively. Structural equation models showed that the total effects of tillage, total nitrogen, photosynthesis and soil water consumption on yields were 0.019, -0.628, 0.121, and 0.895 (path coefficients &lambda;), respectively. The results demonstrated that D25 could improve maize yields, water use efficiency, photosynthetic rate by improving soil water consumption. Depth of 25 cm is optimal tillage practice for the maize production in the North China Plain.
Cytochrome P4502E1 genetic polymorphisms and risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: results from a case-control study conducted in Taiwan.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

CYP2E1 is responsible for the metabolic activation of nitrosamines believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of various tumors. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a tumor thought to be linked to nitrosamine exposure. To investigate the possible role of CYP2E1 genetic polymorphisms in the etiology of this tumor, we investigated 50 histologically confirmed NPC cases from Taiwan and 50 controls matched to cases on age, sex, and residence. Samples were examined for RFLPs in the CYP2E1 gene by PCR amplification followed by digestion with DraI and RsaI. Among healthy controls, the allelic frequency of wild-type and variant forms of CYP2E1 were 79 and 21%, respectively, using DraI enzyme digestion and 82 and 18%, respectively, using RsaI enzyme digestion. As compared with individuals who were homozygous for the wild-type CYP2E1 gene, those found to be homozygous for the variant form of the gene by DraI digestion were at a 5-fold excess risk of disease (95% confidence interval = 0.95-16). Similarly, subjects homozygous for the variant form of the CYP2E1 gene by RsaI digestion were at 7.7-fold excess risk of developing NPC (95% confidence interval = 0.87-68). Individuals found to be heterozygous for the gene were at similar risk of disease compared to those homozygous for the wild-type gene. A strong association was observed between the RFLPs detected by DraI and RsaI digestion of CYP2E1; a correlation coefficient of 0.86 for controls and 0.91 for cases was observed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
The production of functionality by the elderly: a household production function approach

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper extends Becker's model of the household production function of human capital to the production of elderly functionality. In this model, elderly functionality is produced with the direct inputs of assistive devices, personal assistance, and nutritional intake. Education, endowment variables (like genetic endowment and sex) and health conditions (like stroke) determine the production function environment. Data from the Survey of Asset and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest-Old (AHEAD) are used to estimate a production function of bathing functionality, using a two-stage estimation procedure. In the first stage, input demands for the endogenous functionality inputs are estimated, recognizing health heterogeneity. The results suggest that reverses in functionality caused by age and health conditions can be partially compensated for by the use of assistive devices (like grab bars and bathing equipment), secure nutritional intake, and moderate alcohol consumption. However, non-inputs like chronic health conditions, age, sex and genetic endowment exert a strong influence on the level of functionality.
Glyphosate Response to Calcium, Ethoxylated Amine Surfactant, and Ammonium Sulfate1

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Calcium ion in the spray water can reduce glyphosate efficacy. Ammonium sulfate (AMS) is commonly added to the spray tank to overcome the reduced efficacy. However, it is sometimes claimed that ethoxylated tallow amine surfactant (EA) is also efficacious, provided that calcium concentration is moderate (= 5 mM, 200 ppm). On response curves of ‘Plaisant’ barley treated with glyphosate, the presence of calcium ion increased the glyphosate dose needed to obtain 50% (ED50) barley growth reduction. The addition of AMS to the spray tank overcame the antagonistic effect of the calcium ion and restored glyphosate efficacy. EA was less effective than AMS at 5 or 10 mM calcium ion concentration as measured by ED50. However, at 90% growth reduction (ED90), EA was more effective than AMS at the 5 mM calcium ion concentration but less effective at the 10 mM concentration. Hence, at a moderate (= 5 mM) calcium concentration, EA would be an effective adjuvant. Calcium ion decreased the foliar uptake of glyphosate but did not affect the rate of uptake. AMS but not EA restored foliar uptake to values observed without calcium ion. EA increased spray retention, and this probably accounted for the increased glyphosate efficacy at low calcium concentration. Nomenclature: Glyphosate; barley, Hordeum vulgare L. Additional index words: Ammonium sulfate, bioassay, dose–response curve, ethoxylated tallow amine, foliar uptake, spray retention. Abbreviations: AMS, ammonium sulfate; EA, ethoxylated tallow amine; SE, standard error.
Safety and efficacy of Probiomix B (Lactobacillus plantarum KKP/593/p and Lactobacillus rhamnosus KKP 825) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Probiomix B is a preparation of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus rhamnosus. EFSA was requested to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the additive when used in feeds for chickens for fattening in the range of 1 × 108–5 × 108 colony‐forming units (CFU)/kg feedingstuffs and in water for drinking at the recommended dose of 1 × 108 CFU/L. The additive has never been authorised in the EU. The identity of the two strains has been established and no resistance to clinically relevant antibiotics detected. The strains satisfy the requirements for the qualified presumption of safety approach to safety assessment and thus are presumed safe for the target animals, consumers of products derived from animals fed the additive and the environment. In the absence of data, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) cannot conclude on the ocular and dermal irritancy of the additive or its dermal sensitisation. The additive apparently does not contain particles of inhalable size and the dusting potential measured is negligible. Therefore, exposure is unlikely and under practical conditions respiratory sensitisation of Probiomix B can be reasonably excluded. The FEEDAP Panel could not conclude on the efficacy of Probiomix B for chickens for fattening.

Power Dissipation Reduction System for Adjustable Power Supplies

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The design of high-power sources intended for domestic consumption in the case of renewable energies, research laboratories, the operation of diode-pumped lasers, electric vehicles, etc. requires reducing the price, increasing efficiency, reducing overall dimensions, and so on. Achieving these requirements applicable to the manufacture of high-power sources represents a challenge in research, which leads to new concepts for the realization of these sources. The present work aims to improve the parameters of high-power adjustable linear voltage sources, also presenting practical results and simulations. The combined source designed and realized by us combines two systems, one commutative and the other linear. Both the simulated and practical results showed that the new combined source that we propose dissipates up to 10 times less power than a linear source designed for the same output and power supply parameters under the same conditions.
Next‐Generation Vaccines: Nanoparticle‐Mediated DNA and mRNA Delivery

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Nucleic acid vaccines are a method of immunization aiming to elicit immune responses akin to live attenuated vaccines. In this method, DNA or messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences are delivered to the body to generate proteins, which mimic disease antigens to stimulate the immune response. Advantages of nucleic acid vaccines include stimulation of both cell‐mediated and humoral immunity, ease of design, rapid adaptability to changing pathogen strains, and customizable multiantigen vaccines. To combat the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic, and many other diseases, nucleic acid vaccines appear to be a promising method. However, aid is needed in delivering the fragile DNA/mRNA payload. Many delivery strategies have been developed to elicit effective immune stimulation, yet no nucleic acid vaccine has been FDA‐approved for human use. Nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the top candidates to mediate successful DNA/mRNA vaccine delivery due to their unique properties, including unlimited possibilities for formulations, protective capacity, simultaneous loading, and delivery potential of multiple DNA/mRNA vaccines. This review will summarize the many varieties of novel NP formulations for DNA and mRNA vaccine delivery as well as give the reader a brief synopsis of NP vaccine clinical trials. Finally, the future perspectives and challenges for NP‐mediated nucleic acid vaccines will be explored.
Multiple Time-Frequency Curve Classification for Tacho-Less and Resampling-Less Compound Bearing Fault Detection Under Time-Varying Speed Conditions

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Rotating machinery usually runs at time-varying speeds, which often brings failures, especially compound faults. However, currently, there is still a lack of satisfactory coupled fault diagnosis methods at variable speeds. Several methods have been developed, which try to eliminate rotational speed influences by converting nonstationary fault characteristic frequencies into stationary ones. But it brings new problems of computational efficiency and accuracy, and requires an auxiliary tachometer to measure the rotational speed. Time-frequency analysis can solve the problems, and extract time-frequency curves for fault diagnosis through time-frequency representation (TFR). However, for signals containing multiple faults at variable speeds, uninterested components will be generated when extracting multiple time-frequency curve (MTFC), which makes it difficult for compound fault diagnosis. To solve these problems, a novel MTFC classification method for tacho-less and resampling-less compound bearing fault detection under time-varying speed conditions is proposed in this paper. Here the TFR characteristics of a multi-fault vibration signal is analyzed, and a compound fault diagnosis strategy based on MTFC classification is developed. Firstly, MTFC is extracted by a local peak search method. Then, according to the relationship between instantaneous shaft rotational frequency, instantaneous fault characteristics frequency and their respective harmonics, two classification criteria for curves are proposed and MTFC is classified into interested curves and uninterested curves. Finally, the average ratios between interested curves are matched to theoretical fault characteristic coefficients to determine the fault type. Case studies on rolling bearing experiments verified the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
