Perception of COVID-19 threat, low self-efficacy, and external locus of control lead to psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

While it is well documented that the COVID-19 pandemic has had critical consequences for individuals' mental health, few studies to date have investigated the influence of psychological factors on psychological distress in the context of COVID-19. This study explores the influences of self-efficacy, health locus of control, and COVID-19 threat perception on psychological distress (DASS-21). 180 adults completed an online set of standardised questionnaires. Results indicated that self-efficacy had a significant relationship with all three subscales of psychological distress. However, COVID-19 threat perception was significantly associated with stress. External health locus of control was significantly associated with depression by the chance externality subscale, and stress by the powerful others externality subscale. Additionally, external health locus of control was found to moderate the relationship between COVID-19 threat perception and depression.

Dynamics of Nano-sized Colloidal Particles in a Lyotropic Lamellar Phase

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Transport of nano‐sized colloidal particles in a dilute lyotropic lamellar phase of a nonionic surfactant has been studied by AC electrophoretic light scattering. The frequency dispersion of complex electrophoretic mobility shows two relaxation processes at about 1kHz (HF relaxation) and a few Hz (LF relaxation). These relaxations are originated from the hindrance of diffusion of particles in characteristic local structures of lamellar phase. The HF relaxation is found to relate the local deformation of membranes induced by particles. The LF one relates the confinement of a particle within persistence length of lamellar orientation.
Optimization of Laccase from Ganoderma lucidum Decolorizing Remazol Brilliant Blue R and Glac1 as Main Laccase-Contributing Gene

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

Many dyes and pigments are used in textile and printing industries, and their wastewater has been classed as a top source of pollution. Biodegradation of dyes by fungal laccase has great potential. In this work, the influence of reaction time, pH, temperature, dye concentration, metal ions, and mediators on laccase-catalyzed Remazol Brilliant Blue R dye (RBBR) decolorization were investigated in vitro using crude laccase from the white-rot fungus Ganoderma lucidum. The optimal decolorization percentage (50.3%) was achieved at 35 °C, pH 4.0, and 200 ppm RBBR in 30 min. The mediator effects from syringaldehyde, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, and vanillin were compared, and 0.1 mM vanillin was found to obviously increase the decolorization percentage of RBBR to 98.7%. Laccase-mediated decolorization percentages significantly increased in the presence of 5 mM Na+ and Cu2+, and decolorization percentages reached 62.4% and 62.2%, respectively. Real-time fluorescence-quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) and protein mass spectrometry results showed that among the 15 laccase isoenzyme genes, Glac1 was the main laccase-contributing gene, contributing the most to the laccase enzyme activity and decolorization process. These results also indicate that under optimal conditions, G. lucidum laccases, especially Glac1, have a strong potential to remove RBBR from reactive dye effluent.
Carotid artery stenting

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

From the earliest experiences with carotid artery stenting (CAS) presumptive high risk features have included thrombus‐containing lesions, heavily calcified lesions, very tortuous vessels, and near occlusions. In addition patients have been routinely excluded from CAS trials if they have contra‐indications to dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin and thienopyridines), a history of bleeding complications and severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD) making femoral artery vascular access difficult. Variables that increase the risk of CAS complications can be attributed to patient characteristics, anatomic or lesion features, and procedural factors. Clinical features such as older age (≥80 years), decreased cerebral reserve (dementia, multiple prior strokes, or intracranial microangiopathy) and angiographic characteristics such as excessive tortuosity (more than two 90° bends within 5 cm of the target lesion) and heavy calcification (concentric calcification ≥ 3 mm in width) have been associated with increased CAS complications. Other high risk CAS features include those that prolong catheter or guide wire manipulation in the aortic arch, make crossing a carotid stenosis more difficult, decrease the likelihood of successful deployment or retrieval of an embolic protection device (EPD), or make stent delivery or placement more difficult. Procedure volume for the operator and the catheterization laboratory team are critical elements in reducing the risk of the procedure. In this article, we help CAS operators better understand procedure risk to allow more intelligent case selection, further improving the outcomes of this emerging procedure.© 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Precise Definition And Analyticity of r-th order partial derivative of zeta(s,alpha)

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

S.Ramanujan[1] was aware of power series expression in alpha of zeta(s,1-alpha)for complex s and for 0<=alpha<1,which he did not explore very far.Author[2] had derived power series expression in alpha of zeta(s,1+alpha)for complex α with |alpha|<1 and had shown in author[3] that the power series of zeta(-n,alpha) for integral n>=0,is a polynomial in α .On this backdrop, we give here the precise definition of r-th order partial derivative w.r.t s of zeta(s,alpha) in terms of power series in alpha for complex s and alpha . We also discuss the analyticity of r-th order partial derivative w.r.t s of zeta(s,alpha) as functions of s and alpha and show that partial derivatives w.r.t s and alpha commute.We compute partial derivative w.r.t alpha of r-th order partial derivative w.r.t. s of zeta(s,alpha)for s=0 and s=1.We discuss the power series in s of zeta(s+1,alpha) for complex alpha.
Association between Plasma Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor Level and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: High brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentrations have been found to be associated with a decreased risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in observational studies, but the causality for this association remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to examine the association between genetically determined plasma BDNF levels and AD using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method. Methods: Twenty single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with plasma BDNF concentrations were identified as genetic instruments based on a genome-wide association study with 3301 European individuals. Summary-level data on AD were obtained from the International Genomics of Alzheimer’s Project, involving 21,982 AD cases and 41,944 controls of European ancestry. To evaluate the relationship between plasma BDNF concentrations and AD, we employed the inverse-variance weighted method along with a series of sensitivity analyses. Results: The inverse-variance weighted MR analysis showed that genetically determined BDNF concentrations were associated with a decreased risk of AD (odds ratio per SD increase, 0.91; 95% confidence interval, 0.86-0.96; p =0.001). The association between plasma BDNF concentrations and AD was further confirmed through sensitivity analyses using different MR methods, and MR-Egger regression suggested no directional pleiotropy for this association. Conclusion: Genetically determined BDNF levels were associated with a decreased risk of AD, suggesting that BDNF was implicated in the development of AD and might be a promising target for the prevention of AD.

A novel model based on deep learning for Pedestrian detection and Trajectory prediction

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Pedestrian trajectory prediction is faced with the difficulty of data set acquisition, and the traditional models considers a single pedestrian in isolation and ignores the influence of the target pedestrian's neighborhood. This paper presents a pedestrian prediction model that integrates pedestrian detection, multi-target tracking and circular neighborhood adding. Our method uses two different LSTMs to capture the interaction information between the target person and neighboring pedestrians. For the pedestrian interaction information, the circular neighborhood is used instead of the traditional rectangular neighborhood in the social scale. We evaluate the performance of four prediction models on three common datasets. The results reflect that the proposed method can solve the problem of manually labeling datasets, and the circular neighborhood can improve the accuracy of trajectory prediction.
The Recent Environmental History of Tiger Leaping Gorge: environmental degradation and local land development in northern Yunnan

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Over the past 150 years few Western and Chinese scholars have examined the nature of the environment in Hutiao xia (Tiger Leaping Gorge) and its various inhabitants. However, as a unique geographical and geological feature, one of Asia's deepest gorges, part of the headwaters of the Yangtze River, and a common destination for tourists, the gorge has taken on greater and greater significance. Americans, Chinese literati, Party Cadres, and others have commented on Tiger Leaping Gorge. This essay will examine both the local environment and local environmental practices related to the gorge. Considering historical and contemporary land use practices, the gorge and its changing status can act as a microcosm of western China's various kinds of land development strategies, their implications for local and larger concerns, and land use ideologies of various sorts. Through discussing soil composition, water management, natural vegetation patterns, population growth, and recent developments in tourism, this essay will discuss the human impact on the natural environment of Tiger Leaping Gorge between the 1870s and 2002. It will not only demonstrate patterns in environmental degradation based on both natural and human processes, it will also show that depending on the form of institutional authority and local management practices, the environment in the gorge has been most effected by the political and ideological changes of the last half-century in comparison to earlier times. However, despite increasing challenges in the face of various human factors, some recent environmental practices have succeeded in helping to minimize elements of local soil and vegetation degradation.
An Electron Microscopic Study of DNA-like Fibrils in Plant Mitochondria

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

For the purpose to clarify wether or not the “DNA-like fibril” is the common component of the mitochondria of plant cells, the author carried out observations on the cells of eighteen species of eight phyla by electron microscopy.As the result it was found that the DNA fibril complexes are located in the electron-transparent regions of mitochondria in the plants cells belonging to Rhodophyta. Phaeophyta, Chlorophyta, Charophyta, Bryophyta, Pteriodophyta, Gymnospermae and Angiospermae. These results suggest that the DNA fibril complex is the common component of mitochondria in plant cells as well as in animal cells.The morphologic patterns of the DNA fibril complexes of various species observed under electron microscope are similar in that they are composed of fibrillar elements whose unit fibrils are apparently about 3mμ in width. The dense aggregates and the core-like structures, frequently encountered in some species, are supposed to be dense distribution of fibrils, but there seems to be some specificity in the morphologic structure of the DNA fibril complex specific to each species.
Could the salivary microbiota be an individual signature?

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

DNA is one of the important pieces of evidence at the crime scene. There may be cases where the DNA is damaged or insufficient. In this case, the criminal can be identified by qualifying microorganisms as evidence. In recent studies, it has been shown that the detection of microbiota communities on the surface of the human body can bring a new perspective to forensic science. In our study, we investigated the importance of the microbiota in the saliva in terms of identification in forensic sciences, by using phenotypic and morphological features as opposed to genotypic identification, and by checking how unique and characteristic features of these determined microorganisms are compared to other people. 60 different swab samples, including the mouth and bitten right index finger, were cultivated in 4 different media (Blood, Chocolate, Endo, and Chrom) from 30 subjects. All reproducible microorganisms found in the saliva of individuals were investigated. According to the data obtained from the mouth and bitten finger; It was determined that alpha-hemolytic streptococci were the most dominant species among these microorganisms. In addition, Neisseria sp bacteria in the salivary microbiota of individuals have been shown to have a significant relationship with smoking and Candida sp with oral hygiene. We believe that this study will present a different perspective to the literature in cases where the DNA procedure obtained from the bite marks of suspects in the criminal investigation is degraded or insufficient, or to obtain a complementary result in addition to genotypic approaches.
The alignment between the ESP course materials and the English language used in the hotel setting in Vietnam

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article examines the alignment between the ESP course materials – English for hotel majored students – and the English language used in the hotel setting in Vietnam. English textbooks which were commonly used in the ESP courses for hospitality students were reviewed for the limits on the portion of the written materials in comparison with the English language used by the hotel staff in the real-life setting. Content analysis was adopted for analyzing the course materials, particularly the activities provided for students to practice listening and speaking skills. The findings reveal that the textbooks cover a wide range of activities for students to practice communicative skills. However, most activities were situated in environments that were unfamiliar to students and that might limit students’ ability to meet guests’ needs.
Anesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of single-bolus intravenous alfaxalone with or without intramuscular xylazine-premedication in calves

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

The anesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of xylazine-alfaxalone combination were evaluated in calves. Six calves (age: 6-9 months old; weight: 114-310 kg) were anesthetized with intravenous alfaxalone 15 min after administration of intramuscular saline (0.5 ml/100 kg) or xylazine (0.1 mg/kg; 0.5 ml/100 kg of a 2% xylazine solution). Anesthesia induction was smooth and orotracheal intubation was achieved in all calves. The calves anesthetized with xylazine-alfaxalone required a smaller induction dose of alfaxalone (1.23 ± 0.17 mg/kg, P=0.010) and accepted endotracheal intubation for a significantly longer period (16.8 ± 7.2 min, P=0.022) than the calves anesthetized with alfaxalone alone (2.28 ± 0.65 mg/kg 7.3 ± 1.6 min). At 5 min after induction, tachycardia (heart rate: 166 ± 47 beats/min of heart rate), hypertension (mean arterial blood pressure: 147 ± 81 mmHg) and hypoxemia (partial pressure of arterial blood oxygen [PaO2]: 43 ± 10 mmHg) were observed in the calves anesthetized with alfaxalone alone, whereas hypoxemia (PaO2: 47 ± 7 mmHg) and mild hypercapnia (partial pressure of arterial blood carbon dioxide: 54 ± 5 mmHg) were observed in the calves anesthetized with xylazine-alfaxalone. Premedication with xylazine provided a sparing effect on the induction dose of alfaxalone and a prolongation of anesthetic effect. Oxygen supplementation should be considered to prevent hypoxemia during anesthesia.
Does Parental Investment Increase Wealth, or Does Wealth Increase Parental Investment?

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Possible causal relationships between parental investment and economic growth and productivity were investigated cross-nationally. Composite variables were constructed to measure parental investment (PI), human capital (HC), national health, government effectiveness, and economic development for 148 countries. Some composites were highly intercorrelated, particularly PI, HC, and health, and all predicted absolute (dollar value) annual growth (1990-1998) as well as GNP (1996). Regression analysis showed that PI strongly predicts wealth, but not growth, when government stability and level of economic development are controlled. Results suggest that PI (and health, HC) is more a product than a cause of national wealth.
MORPHOLOGICAL AND CYTOCHEMICAL IDENTIFICATION OF THE GOLGI APPARATUS

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

1. A modification of Elftman's direct silver method reveals both the lipochondria of Baker and the network of Golgi in the same cell. For purpose of distinction, it is proposed to call Baker's lipochondria the nucleopetal fraction, the Golgi network the nucleofugal fraction of the Golgi apparatus. 2. The nucleopetal fraction is located closer to the nucleus. It is spherical in shape and appears black in color. The nucleofugal fraction is located farther away from the nucleus. It is reticular in form and appears brown in color after silver impregnation by the modified Elftman's method. 3. These two fractions are separate entities. The network of Golgi is not due to deposition of silver on lipochondria. Lipochondria do not represent Golgi apparatus in living cells. 4. Aldehydes facilitate the demonstration of the nucleofugal fraction. Based on the circumstantial evidence presented, it appears that aldehyde dehydrogenase composed of a specific protein bound to a prosthetic group of flavin-adenine dinucleotide may be concentrated in this fraction. 5. Aldehyde dehydrogenase also functions as xanthine oxidase. It is suggested as a working hypothesis that under physiological condition, one of the functions of the nucleofugal fraction (Golgi network) is concerned with purine metabolism of nucleoproteins.

Study of Pharmacological Activity of Glycyrrhiza glabra L.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

In article the results of overview research about pharmacological activity of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. is given. Liquorice (licorice) root is derived from the inner part of the root and underground stem (rhizome) of Glycyrrhiza glabra (Fabaceae, the bean family). The peeled drug is of much higher quality than the root with the bark, and is produced in several south-eastern European countries, Turkey, China and Russia. It has a very characteristic taste and smell, and is used in confectionery. The sweet taste also makes the identification of the drug relatively easy and so adulteration is uncommon. The most important bioactive secondary metabolite is glycyrrhizic acid, a water-soluble pentacyclic triterpene saponin which gives the drug its characteristic sweet taste (it is about 50 times sweeter than sucrose). Liquorice also contains numerous flavonoids (chalcones and isoflavonoids), coumarins and polysaccharides, which contribute to the activity.
Life on the Margins: The Clandestine Ukrainian Greek Catholic Clergy in the Soviet Union (1946–89)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

During the Second World War, the West Ukrainian region of Eastern Galicia came under Soviet rule. In 1946, the Stalinist regime banned the church of most Ukrainians in the region, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), by ‘reuniting’ it with the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). Whereas most Greek Catholic clergymen joined the ROC under state pressure, the opponents of ‘reunion’ endured arrests and other forms of persecution. The church of several million believers became a persecuted religious minority on the margins of Soviet society. Upon their return from the Gulag in the mid-1950s, the ‘non-reunited’ Greek Catholic priests usually encountered numerous bureaucratic obstacles when trying to settle down and secure their livelihoods. Based on archival and oral history material, this article focuses on the clandestine clergy’s experiences of social marginalization.
A general practitioner in an ophthalmology accident and emergency department.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

After a short period of intensive training, a general practitioner successfully replaced a senior house officer (SHO) in the accident and emergency department of an eye hospital on one morning a week for a year. An unbiased observer compared the performance of the general practitioner after one year with that of a full-time SHO who had had 17 months' experience; their performances were about equal. Although a sessional general practitioner costs about 28% more than an SHO, the real cost is much less because undue length of service as an SHO or change to another specialty (because of the SHO surplus) delays achievement of a permanent grade. Continuity is a great advantage of the general practitioner. Replacement of some SHOs by general practitioners would reduce the surplus of SHOs with poor promotion prospects. The commonest diagnoses were Meibomian cysts (18%), corneal foreign bodies (20%), corneal abrasions (12%), and conjunctivitis (8%).
