Analysis of the features of acute carbon monoxide poisoning and hyperbaric oxygen therapy in children.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The aim of this study was to make a retrospective descriptive analysis of the features of children with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (COP). We evaluated 74 children (43 girls, 31 boys; age range 1 to 17.8 years) who were consecutively admitted to our emergency unit and hospitalized with accidental acute COP between June 2003 and June 2005. All patients received normobaric oxygen therapy until their carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels were decreased below 2% and their symptoms resolved. Thirty-eight of 74 patients (51.4%) also received hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy as indicated by signs and symptoms or COHb levels. COHb levels were significantly higher and hospitalization period was longer in the children who had abnormal neurological findings (p<0.05 for both). All patients showed complete recovery without neurological sequelae except one who had visual impairment at discharge, and antiepileptic therapy was started because of epilepsy after seven months. Acute COP is an important health problem in our country, especially in winter, because of poorly functioning heating systems. The clinical spectrum including neurological findings varies during childhood. We suggest that HBO therapy could be used safely in children.
Examining the social determinants of children's developmental health: protocol for building a pan-Canadian population-based monitoring system for early childhood development

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Introduction Early childhood is a key period to establish policies and practices that optimise children's health and development, but Canada lacks nationally representative data on social indicators of children's well-being. To address this gap, the Early Development Instrument (EDI), a teacher-administered questionnaire completed for kindergarten-age children, has been implemented across most Canadian provinces over the past 10 years. The purpose of this protocol is to describe the Canadian Neighbourhoods and Early Child Development (CanNECD) Study, the aims of which are to create a pan-Canadian EDI database to monitor trends over time in children's developmental health and to advance research examining the social determinants of health. Methods and analysis Canada-wide EDI records from 2004 to 2014 (representing over 700 000 children) will be linked to Canada Census and Income Taxfiler data. Variables of socioeconomic status derived from these databases will be used to predict neighbourhood-level EDI vulnerability rates by conducting a series of regression analyses and latent variable models at provincial/territorial and national levels. Where data are available, we will measure the neighbourhood-level change in developmental vulnerability rates over time and model the socioeconomic factors associated with those trends. Ethics and dissemination Ethics approval for this study was granted by the Behavioural Research Ethics Board at the University of British Columbia. Study findings will be disseminated to key partners, including provincial and federal ministries, schools and school districts, collaborative community groups and the early childhood development research community. The database created as part of this longitudinal population-level monitoring system will allow researchers to associate practices, programmes and policies at school and community levels with trends in developmental health outcomes. The CanNECD Study will guide future early childhood development action and policies, using the database as a tool for formative programme and policy evaluation.
Effect of Particle Size and Concentration of Flyash on Properties of Polyester Thermoplastic Elastomer Composites

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The performance of filled polymers is generally determined on the basis of the interface attraction of filler and polymers.Particulate filled polymer composites are becoming attractive because of their wide applications and low cost.In this study the effects of flyash with three varying particle size and filler concentrations (viz.5 to 40 weight %) on the mechanical, thermal, electrical, rheological and morphological properties of polyester thermoplastic elastomer (Hytrel ® ) was investigated.Composites of polyester thermoplastic elastomer with varying concentrations of flyash were prepared by twin screw extrusion.Mechanical properties such as flexural strength and modulus increases with filler loading, where as tensile strength is found to be decrease with increase in flyash loading.Dielectric strength of composites also increases with flyash loading.Morphological studies revealed that there is good dispersion of filler in the polymer matrix.Thermal properties were found to be improved with flyash addition.Further, it was observed that the mechanical (flexural), thermal as well as electrical properties of composites improved with decrease in particle size of filler.
A note on convergence and <i>a posteriori</i> error estimates of the classical Jacobi method

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We consider convergence and a posteriori error estimates of the classical Jacobi method for solving symmetric eigenvalue problems. The famous convergence proof of the classical Jacobi method consists of two phases. First, it is shown that all the off-diagonal elements converge to zero. Then, from a perturbation theorem, Parlett or Wilkinson shows convergence of the diagonal elements in the textbooks. Ciarlet also gives another convergence proof based on a discussion about a bounded sequence corresponding to a diagonal element. In this paper, we simplify the Ciarlet's convergence proof. Our proof does not use any perturbation theory. Moreover, employing this approach, we obtain a posteriori error estimates for eigenvectors.
A New Free Standing ZnO/MWCNT Nanocomposite Anode Produced By Sol-Gel Spin Coating Method for Li-Ion Batteries

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the most popular types of rechargeable battery for portable electronics, with one of the best energy densities, and also the choice power source for electric and hybrid vehicles [1]. Zinc oxide is an attractive material as a potential substitute for the conventional graphite anode in lithium-ion batteries, because the theoretical capacity of ZnO (978 mAhg -1 ) has been estimated to be superior to that of graphite (372 mAhg −1 ) [2]. High capacity anodes such as zinc based usually suffer severe capacity fading, stemming from both the quick aggregation of zinc particles and the huge volume expansion during Li + insertion/extraction cycles, which cause pulverization of the anodes and electrical detachment of active materials [3]. MWCNT buckypaper substrate is considered as a buffer material to prevent mechanical disintegration of anode material during the battery applications. In this work, ZnO/MWCNT buckypaper nanocomposite films were prepared as free-standing anode materials by sol–gel spin coating method. To the best of our knowledge there is no work to be published by using highly porous MWCNT buckypapers to be infiltrated with ZnO sol by spin coating. It was aimed to accommodate the stresses arisen from the volume increase during charging process by using highly porous MWCNT network that coated with a thin layer of the ZnO. The structural properties and electrochemical performance of free standing ZnO/MWCNT buckypaper composite film anodes of CR2016 type Li-ion batteries were investigated. SEM (Scanning Electron microscopy), EDS (Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction) analyses and electrochemical performance tests were performed to characterize the nanocomposites. The cells were charged and discharged at 25 °C between fixed voltage limits (2.5 V to 0.2 V) on an MTI model of BST8-MA battery tester. [1] Y. Wang, F. Su, J.Y. Lee, X.S. Zhao, Chem.

Culture and Health Belief Model: Exploring the Determinants of Physical Activity Among Saudi Adults and the Moderating Effects of Age and Gender

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Physical inactivity is a significant risk factor for many non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and evidence shows that physical inactivity is one of the highest risk factors for death globally. Research has shown that theory-driven persuasive interventions are more effective at promoting behaviour change than generic ones. However, research on the determinants of physical activity and the moderating effect of age and gender among non-Western culture is limited. To close this gap, we conduct a large-scale study of the determinants of physical activity among 217 participants from Saudi Arabia using the extended Health Belief Model (HBM), a commonly applied behavioural model in health interventions design. We also assessed for the moderating effect of age and gender. Our findings show that Social influence, Cue to action and Perceived severity are the strongest determinants of physical activity in Saudi adults. We map these determinants to their corresponding persuasive strategies that can be used in operationalizing them in persuasive applications for promoting physical activity. Finally, we discuss the implication of our findings and offer design guidelines for persuasive interventions that appeal to both a broad audience and tailored to a particular group depending on their gender and age group.
WATCH BODYCAM VIDEO FOOTAGE OF JAYLAND WALKER GETTING SHOT BY AKRON POLICE OFFICERS IN USA VIDEO

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

WATCH BODYCAM VIDEO FOOTAGE OF JAYLAND WALKER GETTING SHOT BY AKRON POLICE OFFICERS IN USA VIDEO WATCH/DOWNLOAD FOOTAGE: https://jaylandwalkershooting.blogspot.com dozens of times as he ran from officers following a traffic stop, a lawyer for his family said, citing a review of police body-worn camera footage due to be made public on Sunday. In comments published on Saturday by the Akron Beacon Journal, attorney Bobby DiCello described the video as "brutal," and said Walker's relatives worried that protests this weekend could turn violent. The shooting was the latest in a spate of killings of Black men by law enforcement in the United States that critics say are unjustified, including the 2020 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis that ignited global protests against police brutality and racial injustice. "We're all bracing for the community's response, and the one message that we have is the family does not need any more violence," DiCello said. Akron police have said Walker, 25, fired a gun at officers who were pursuing him. They plan to release their body camera footage following a news conference on Sunday, hours before a protest march is scheduled. "Protest is a way of crying," Roderick Pounds Sr., pastor of the Second Baptist Church in Akron, said during a prayer rally there on Saturday after he was permitted to see the video prior to its being made public. Pounds declined to describe in detail "the graphic video the world is about to see," but he called the footage "shocking," saying it showed Walker posed no threat when he was shot down in a manner the pastor likened to a "massacre." "It's barbaric," Pounds said in an interview with local television station WEWS-TV. "You'll see tomorrow."
[Condemnation of 60 tons of South American beef].

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

A case of inspection of sixty tons of South American beef is reported. A second assessment by the regional veterinary inspection was requested because of condemnation for spoilage. The initial decision based on inspection was maintained. In view of the type of spoilage, it is believed to be likely that this was present before the deboning of the meat. Although the level of meat hygiene is high in South America, this incident proves the necessity of careful inspection of imported meat.
Inhibition of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) suppresses activation of protein kinase B/Akt and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of PTEN-mutant prostate cancer cells

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

PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 10q23 that encodes a protein and phospholipid phosphatase.Somatic mutations of PTEN are found in a number of human malignancies, and loss of expression, or mutational inactivation of PTEN, leads to the constitutive activation of protein kinase B (PKB)͞Akt via enhanced phosphorylation of Thr-308 and Ser-473.We recently have demonstrated that the integrin-linked kinase (ILK) can phosphorylate PKB͞Akt on Ser-473 in a phosphoinositide phospholipid-dependent manner.We now demonstrate that the activity of ILK is constitutively elevated in a serum-and anchorage-independent manner in PTEN-mutant cells, and transfection of wild-type (WT) PTEN into these cells inhibits ILK activity.Transfection of a kinase-deficient, dominant-negative form of ILK or exposure to a small molecule ILK inhibitor suppresses the constitutive phosphorylation of PKB͞Akt on Ser-473, but not on Thr-308, in the PTEN-mutant prostate carcinoma cell lines PC-3 and LNCaP.Transfection of dominant-negative ILK and WT PTEN into these cells also results in the inhibition of PKB͞Akt kinase activity.Furthermore, dominant-negative ILK or WT PTEN induces G1 phase cycle arrest and enhanced apoptosis.Together, these data demonstrate a critical role for ILK in PTEN-dependent cell cycle regulation and survival and indicate that inhibition of ILK may be of significant value in PTEN-mutant tumor therapy.tumor suppressor ͉ phospholipid phosphatase ͉ cell adhesion ͉ serum Abbreviations: PKB, protein kinase B; PI3-kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; PI(3,4,5)P3, phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate; FAK, focal adhesion kinase; ILK, integrin-linked kinase; GSK-3, glycogen synthase kinase-3; WT, wild type; KD, kinase deficient; MBP, myelin basic protein; GFP, green fluorescent protein; GST, glutathione S-transferase.

Characterization of Pigment and Disease Resistance Genes in Dendrobium Breeding

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Dendrobiums are economically important cut flowers and potted plants for production in Hawaii. In 2004 Dendrobium was the top selling orchid with a wholesale value of $10.5 million. The crop’s slow growth, limited available gene pool, and unknown genetics make it very difficult to modify certain desirable traits such as flower color or disease resistance. The objectives of this research were to characterize pigment and disease resistance genes for use in Dendrobium breeding. We demonstrated that the Dendrobium dihydroflavonol 4-reductase {Dfr) gene has no substrate specificity and is able to utilize all three colorless dihydroflavonoid substrates; namely dihydrokaempferol (DHK), dihydroquercetin (DHQ), and dihydromyricetin (DHM) in order to produce pelargonidin, cyanidin and delphinidin. We were also able to produce several individual plants resistant to Cymbidium mosaic virus infection by using transgenesis with a mutated movement protein (Mutll). More than half of these plants lack an antibiotic resistance marker gene and thus are particularly desirable for future testing.
PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERSTANDING OF INFORMATION WARFARE: CATEGORIES OF TRUTH, MANIPULATION AND ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The study of the philosophical aspect of information warfare in modern information confrontations is based on the concepts of truth, manipulation and responsibility. Information warfare, as a new type of conflict, determines not only technological and tactical dimensions, but also deep ethical and ontological problems related to the nature of information and its impact on society. The author analyzes the phenomenon of truth in the context of the information space, where manipulation and disinformation often turn into a weapon of influence. In addition, the article discusses the displacement of the concept of truth and the formation of different information realities and the division of society on its basis.In the scientific study, special attention is paid to the ethical responsibility of the subjects of information warfare - from individual users and media to political and military structures. The main attention is focused on the moral aspects related to the use of information as a tool of influence. The question of responsibility for the consequences of manipulative actions in the era of digitalization also arises. The author emphasizes the need to form critical thinking and information hygiene as components of countering information threats, the failure to comply with which can lead to increased social tension, polarization of society and the undermining of democratic institutions. In this context, the role of education and educational programs in raising the information awareness of citizens is considered. The study also focuses on the need for ethical regulation of the digital space at the legislative level.The study is interdisciplinary in nature, integrating philosophy, ethics, political science and information technologies, and allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the challenges of information warfare in the modern world. The scientific work is aimed at establishing and theoretically understanding the phenomenon of information warfare and determining practical recommendations in the field of a responsible attitude to information in the conditions of a globalized information space. In the process of research, special attention is paid to the analysis of the mechanisms of manipulation of consciousness and disinformation used in conditions of hybrid conflicts.
Pathologies associated with impacted mandibular third molars in sub-saharan africans

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Background: The prevalence of third molar pathology and problems associated with surgical extraction of impacted third molars has been extensively discussed in the literature; however, few have discussed the pathologies that can be associated with impacted third molar tooth. Aim: The aim of the current study, therefore, is to evaluate the types of associated pathologies with impacted third molars in Sub-Saharan Africans. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study that was conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC), Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria, between January and March 2012. Consented patients between ages 18 and 35 years were recruited into the study. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows Version 20 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: A total of 135 mandibular third molar extractions was carried out during the study period from 72 (53.3%) females and 63 (46.7%) males (F:M = 1.1:1). Mesioangular impaction was the most frequent spatial relation of the impacted mandibular third molar to the lower second molar tooth (70 [51.9%]), followed by distoangular impaction (29 [21.5%]). Mesioangular impaction was mostly associated with pathology (70 [51.9%]), with a statistical significant difference of P = 0.000. Pathological pocket and caries on both impacted lower third molar and lower second molar tooth accounted for the highest number of associated pathologies (37 [27.4%]). Conclusion: Caries and pathological pockets were the most common associated pathology with impacted third molar.
The Hopkins Path to Postmodern Poetry

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper asserts that the poetics of New England poet Denise Levertov may be seen as a bridge from Victorian poet Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poetics to postmodern poetics of today. Using the imagism and the ideas of Richard Rorty, William Pratt, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Charles Bernstein, and Bob Perelman, the writer outlines how the key concepts of imagism were adopted from Gerard Manley Hopkins and in new guises used by modernist poets such as Ezra Pound and Denise Levertov and postmodern poets such as Sheila Murphy and Arthur Vogelsang. The writer also contends that what governs the changes in the Victorian poet's desperate poetics is attitude: Modernist poetry is one of mourning, and postmodernist poetry is one of joy in the absurd.
