Assessment of the prevalence of risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases among employees of the North-Eastern Federal University

Introduction. According to WHO experts, chronic non-communicable disease (NCD) is the leading worldwide medical and social problem. In recent decades, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) population showed changes in nutrition habits, physical activity reduction. It increased the spread of modified chronic NCD’s risk factors. Material and methods. The authors performed a one-stage study of modified risk factors and frequency analysis of chronic NCD in the North-Eastern Federal University (NEFU) employees who had medical check-ups in 2017 (n = 800): men (n = 260), women (n = 540). The attendees’ age varied from 30 to 54 years. Abdominal obesity (AO) was diagnosed by two criteria: men’s waist ≥ 90 cm and women’s waist ≥ 80 for Asia residents (IDF1); men’s waist ≥ 94 cm and women’s waist ≥ 80 for European residents (IDF2) (IDF, 2006). Results. This analysis of the study group of NEFU employees showed the median level of SYS and DYS, glucose in serum, and the waist index in both groups, regardless of gender, to be within reference values. The most frequent risk factors of chronic NCD were hypercholesterolemia and abdominal obesity (p = 0.000). A spread of hypercholesterolemia was 16.8%, in men (23.5%) more frequently than in women (13. Every fourth woman and every third man had AO according to IDF criteria compared to attendees without AO (p = 0.000). Conclusion. A significant positive correlation between AO and age, SYS, DYS, cholesterol and glucose in serum was identified.

Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden: Biodiversity Conservation in a Tropical Arboretum

In light of increasing human impacts on natural areas and climate change, urgent action is required to accelerate species conservation efforts. Ex situ conservation has gained importance, yet the increasing endangered species challenge is magnified in botanic gardens, notably tropical ones, insufficient to safeguard such diverse flora. This study focused on the living collection of the arboretum at the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, examining all cultivated specimens and institutional database records between January and July 2023. It cross-referenced the collection’s composition with the Flora e Funga do Brasil list, as well as Red Lists, to reveal that the collection includes 6960 specimens representing 1420 species, with 60.6% of these species native to Brazil, belonging to 134 botanical families. The collection encompasses all Brazilian phytogeographic domains, with the Atlantic Forest and the Amazon having the highest number of species in cultivation. In terms of conservation efforts, the collection includes 83 species from the Brazilian Red List and 106 species from the IUCN Red List, contributing to the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, Target 8. This evaluation is the first step toward identifying collection gaps, future planning, and targeting species for acquisition to enhance the effectiveness of our conservation efforts.

Antibiotic Potentiation as a Promising Strategy to Combat Macrolide Resistance in Bacterial Pathogens

Antibiotics, which hit the market with astounding impact, were once called miracle drugs, as these were considered the ultimate cure for infectious diseases in the mid-20th century. However, today, nearly all bacteria that afflict humankind have become resistant to these wonder drugs once developed to stop them, imperiling the foundation of modern medicine. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a surge in macrolide use to treat secondary infections and this persistent use of macrolide antibiotics has provoked the emergence of macrolide resistance. In view of the current dearth of new antibiotics in the pipeline, it is essential to find an alternative way to combat drug resistance. Antibiotic potentiators or adjuvants are non-antibacterial active molecules that, when combined with antibiotics, increase their activity. Thus, potentiating the existing antibiotics is one of the promising approaches to tackle and minimize the impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Several natural and synthetic compounds have demonstrated effectiveness in potentiating macrolide antibiotics against multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. The present review summarizes the different resistance mechanisms adapted by bacteria to resist macrolides and further emphasizes the major macrolide potentiators identified which could serve to revive the antibiotic and can be used for the reversal of macrolide resistance.

Data archiving and distribution of the Virgo antenna for gravitational wave detection

We describe the architecture of the data archiving and distribution of the Virgo antenna for gravitational wave detection. The main characteristic of this system is the modularity of the architecture. This solution allows system upgrades without dramatic changes of the hardware and software components. The main performances are: 1. Maximum sustained data flow of 10 Mbyte/s on DLT tapes (35/70 Gbyte) for the raw data archiving; 2. Up to 1 Tbyte data archiving capacity on disk at a maximum sustained data flow of 25 Mbyte/s for the online data distribution; 3. Up to 10 Mbyte/s data retrieval flow for the on-line data distribution. The basic architecture of the system consists of two sections: an acquisition and storage section and a data management section. The former is a LynxOS based system with the disks directly connected to the CPU slave boards, the latter is a DEC-Unix Alpha Server (Data Server), NFS mounting the LynxOS disks through a Fast Ethernet network.

Cleveland: A High-Skilled Immigrant Destination

The Cleveland metro ranks 44th out of the nation’s 50 largest metros in the concentration of population who are foreign born, at 5.5%. However, in measuring the skill level of each metro, Cleveland has the 7th largest concentration of college-educated immigrants, at 40%. Also, 21.2% of the region’s immigrants have graduate or professional degrees, ranking Cleveland 5th in the nation. It is suggested that Cleveland’s “eds and meds” sector, which ranks 11th in total employment in the nation, is driving a higher proportion of high- compared to low-skilled immigrants. Implications are discussed.

Mammalian Retinal Bipolar Cells: Morphological Identification and Systematic Classification in Rabbit Retina With a Comparative Perspective

ABSTRACT Retinal bipolar cells (BCs) convey visual signals from photoreceptors to more than 50 types of rabbit retinal ganglion cells (Famiglietti, 2020). More than 40 years ago, 10–11 types of bipolar cells were recognized in rabbit and cat retinas (Famiglietti, 1981). Twenty years later, 10 were identified in mouse, rat, and monkey, while recent molecular genetic studies indicate that there are 15 types of bipolar cell in mouse retina (Shekhar et al., 2016). The present detailed study of more than 800 bipolar cells in 11 Golgi‐impregnated rabbit retinas indicates that there are 14–16 types of cone bipolar cell and one type of rod bipolar cell in rabbit retina. These have been carefully analyzed in terms of dendritic and axonal morphology and axon terminal stratification with respect to fiducial starburst amacrine cells. In fortuitous proximity, several types of bipolar cell can be related to identified ganglion cells by stratification and by contacts suggestive of synaptic connection. These results are compared with other studies of rabbit bipolar cells. Homologies with bipolar cells of mouse and monkey are considered in functional terms.

Novel DNA Cryptosystem using Genetic Operators

Plenty of procedures and methods are introduced on the basis of modular arithmetic cryptography towards DNA cryptosystems. These methodologies are decomposed using various techniques of DNA cryptography. DNA Cryptosystem is a new intuitive cryptographic area which became popular with the research of DNA computing. We demonstrate a novel, safe and exclusive DNA cryptosystem algorithm along with its performance analysis. Genetic algorithm is one of the possible ways to break the limit of brute-force method in DNA computing. The key point here is to improve the DNA cryptosystems along with the combination of genetic operators. The proposed algorithm is based on operators used in Genetic Algorithms (GA), together with the encryption and decryption of data. This paper demonstrates the DNA cryptosystem technology used with DNA computing. The technique generates a random one-time-pad key, used in the process of DNA encryption which is further embedded into the encrypted data. The unique decryption method will break open the key from the encrypted data and finally outputs the decrypted data. This system promises high security and ensures a very low or no scope for re-identification of the original information.

Being Together in Time: Musical Experience and the Mirror Neuron System

THE DISCOVERY OF INDIVIDUAL "MIRROR NEURONS" in the macaque brain that fire both when an action is executed and when that same action is observed or heard, and of a homologous system in humans, is leading to an extraordinary conceptual shift in our understanding of perception-action mechanisms, human communication, and empathy. In a recent model of emotional responses to music (Molnar-Szakacs &amp; Overy, 2006), we proposed that music is perceived not only as an auditory signal, but also as intentional, hierarchically organized sequences of expressive motor acts behind the signal; and that the human mirror neuron system allows for corepresentation and sharing of a musical experience between agent and listener. Here, we expand upon this model of Shared Affective Motion Experience (SAME) and discuss its implications for music therapy and special education.We hypothesize that imitation, synchronization, and shared experience may be key elements of successful work in these areas.

HEPATIC INJURY AND HEPATO-ACCUMULATION OF (+) RUGULOSIN IN MICE

Hepatic injury and hepato-accumulation of (+)rugulosin, an anthraquinoid mycotoxin from Renicillium rugulosum Thom, were investigated in mice. Subcutaneously administered (+) rugulosin to ddYS mice induced an elevation of glutamate-poxaloacetate transaminase in the serum, a depression of mitochondrial function and an accumulation of monoribosomes in the liver. Tracer experiments revealed that the administered toxin preferencially accumulated into the liver, especially into the mitochondrial and microsomal fractions. Lethal toxicity test as well biochemical assay revealed that (+) rugulosin is a slow acting hepatotoxin.

S1 is Associated with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Functional and Structural MRI Study

A fundamental characteristic of neural circuits is the capacity for plasticity in response to experience. Neural plasticity is associated with the development of chronic pain disorders. In this study, we investigated 1) brain resting state functional connectivity (FC) differences between patients with chronic low back pain (cLBP) and matched healthy controls (HC); 2) FC differences within the cLBP patients as they experienced different levels of endogenous low back pain evoked by exercise maneuvers, and 3) morphometric differences between cLBP patients and matched HC We found the dynamic character of FC in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) in cLBP patients, i.e., S1 FC decreased when the patients experienced low intensity LBP as compared with matched healthy controls, and FC at S1 increased when cLBP patients experienced high intensity LBP as compared with the low intensity condition. In addition, we also found increased cortical thickness in the bilateral S1 somatotopically associated with the lower back in cLBP patients as compared to healthy controls. Our results provide evidence of structural plasticity co-localized with areas exhibiting FC changes in S1 in cLBP patients.

MILLIMETER-WAVE WIRELESS NETWORK-ON-CHIP: A CMOS COMPATIBLE INTERCONNECTION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR FUTURE MANY-CORE PROCESSORS

by Sujay Deb, Ph.D. Washington State University May 2012 Chair: Partha Pratim Pande Multi-core platforms are emerging trends in the design of Systems-on-Chip (SoCs). Interconnect fabrics for these multi-core SoCs play a crucial role in achieving the target performance. The Network-on-Chip (NoC) paradigm has been proposed as a promising solution for designing the interconnect fabric of multi-core SoCs. But the performance requirements of NoC infrastructures in future technology nodes cannot be met by relying only on material innovation with traditional scaling. The continuing demand for low power and high speed interconnects with technology scaling necessitates looking beyond the conventional planar metal/dielectric-based interconnect infrastructures. Among different possible alternatives, the on-chip wireless communication network is envisioned as a revolutionary methodology, capable of bringing significant performance gains for multi-core SoCs. Millimeter-wave Wireless NoCs (mWNoCs) can be designed by using miniaturized on-chip antennas as an enabling technology. On-chip CMOS compatible millimeter-wave wireless

216-71: Reduction of recurrence of atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion by Dabigatran-etexilate

Background: Electrical cardioversion (ECV) is a fast and secure method to establish sinus rhythm immediately in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF). Unfortunately recurrence rate of AF after ECV is still high. Different agents such as antiarrhythmic or antiinflammatory drugs can improve the long term rhythm outcome. The direct thrombin inhibitor, dabigatran-etexilate, has a pleiotropic mechanism of action, with potential antioxidative, antiinflammatory and antifibroblastic growth effect. Its influence on recurrence after ECV has not yet been studied. Methods: We performed an analysis of 142 patients (98 men, mean age 65 ± 10 years, 57% on antiarrhythmic therapy, 49% persistent AF) who underwent ECV and were anticoagulated with either dabigatran-etexilate (n = 78) or phenprocoumon (n = 64). Results: During the mean follow up of 19 ± 8 months an AF recurrence was observed in 65 patients (45.8%). Baseline characteristics of both patient groups were similar despite the fact, diabetes mellitus (28.5% vs. 7.8%, p = 0.003) was more frequent in the dabigatran group (Table 1). Although persistent AF was more frequent in patients with dabigatran (73% vs. 20%, p < 0.001) the mean AF free survival was significantly longer in this group (17 ± 1 months vs. 10 ± 2 months, p < 0.001) (Figure 1).In the multivariate analysis including all baseline characteristics the use of dabigatran was associated with improved rhythm outcome (HR 0.30, CI 95% 0.18-0.51, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The results suggest a positive effect of dabigatran on preventing recurrence of AF after successful ECV. This effect may derive from its pleiotropic mechanism of action. Further clarification of potential mechanisms and evaluation in larger multicenter trials is needed.

We, Together

Abstract We are agents, and what we do is live together. Living together is a joint activity. Joint activities involve shared intentions. Shared intentions have plural intentional subjects. Plural intentional subjects are plurally pre-reflectively self-aware. The social world of norms, statuses, roles, structures, and artifacts is our way of living together. It is up to us to live together in a way that suits our shared purpose of living well together. One precondition of becoming better at what we do is to recognize ourselves as who we are—the plural intentional subjects of our living together.

Pass on the Good Vibes: How Social Support is Provided to Nascent Entrepreneurs

Being interested in how what individuals have influences what they give, we adapt the bidirectional social support hypothesis and the ‘feel good, do good’ hypothesis – both approaching social support as a bidirectional and reciprocal process – to an entrepreneurship context in order to develop an argument of how individuals pass on the good vibes. Specifically, we argue that individuals’ available emotional support from family, friends and special persons impact the likelihood to provide entrepreneurs with informational support. Further, relying on role-alignment theory we challenge the universality of the ‘pass on the good vibes’ hypothesis and argue that the impact of available emotional support on the likelihood to provide informational support depends on the culturally defined norms and expectations associated with the various role-relations (family, friends and special persons) and gender. We test our hypotheses on a national representative dataset collected in Denmark in 2012 consisting of individuals who know a nascent entrepreneur (N=455).

Exploring the mental health and wellbeing of professional academy footballers in England

The mental health and wellbeing of elite footballers is beginning to receive much needed attention in research and practice terms. However, to date much of the knowledge generated and initiatives designed to improve provision for elite footballers’ mental health and wellbeing is centred on adults. The mental health and wellbeing of junior footballers attached to elite development programmes have largely been overlooked. In England, this is particularly concerning given an estimated 12,500 young professional academy footballers are attached to such systems. Semi structured interviews were conducted to explore the extent to which social ties and interactions with significant others shaped the mental health and wellbeing of twelve professional academy footballers based in four category one football academies in England. Drawing on concepts derieved from symbolic interactionism, the analysis of the findings highlighted; i) the demands and expectations of their role often negatively affected emotions, ii) concealment of mental health and wellbeing issues to significant others in primary and secondary social networks, and ii) portrayals of the self-intended to foster positive relations with significant others to avoid stigmatization. Future research and practice should seek to inform and promote more effective interventions and models that more adequately support the mental health and wellbeing of professional academy footballers.
