Psychophysiological effects of gum chewing on cognitive performance: A gender-based comparative study
Background: Chewing before performing a cognitive task increases oxygen levels in the Central Nervous System (CNS) areas important for processes of learning and memory. This study was done to evaluate and compare the effects of chewing gum on reaction time, visual short term memory, selective attention, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, and problem-solving ability in healthy male and female subjects. Methodology: The comparative, gender-based, interventional study was conducted involving 300 individuals placed in the control (n=150) and interventional group (n=150). Participants in the interventional group were required to chew gum till they completed the task. A questionnaire was designed to record the reaction time, memory, attention, executive and intellectual functioning and time took to solve each parameter. Each subject in both control and interventional group completed the questionnaire with and without chewing gum, respectively. Results for the two groups were compared using SPSS version 20.0. Results: It was found that the gum chewing group performs significantly better than the control group, thus chewing gum significantly improves cognitive performance. These cognitive effects of chewing were comparable among the two genders but relatively more pronounced among male participants as compared to females. Conclusion: Chewing gum is positively associated with higher level of cognitive performance than controls.

Discovery and Biological Evaluation of CD147 N-Glycan Inhibitors: A New Direction in the Treatment of Tumor Metastasis
N-glycosylation is instrumental to the regulation of CD147 functions, including the maturation of CD147, secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and promotion of tumor metastasis. Glycosylated CD147 is highly expressed in various cancer types, participates in metastasis, and is associated with the poor prognosis of malignant tumors. However, to date, there has been little development of target-specific inhibitors for CD147 glycosylation. In this work, we report a strategy for discovering CD147 glycosylation inhibitors through computer-aided screening and inhibition assays. Four compounds were screened as potential CD147 glycosylation inhibitors. Of these, compound 72 was finally identified as the best candidate. Further experiments confirmed that compound 72 inhibited the production of MMPs and the metastasis of cancer cells in the Hela cell line. Results further suggest that compound 72 could promote the expression of E-cadherin by targeting CD147, thereby inhibiting tumor migration. Finally, the structures of the other potential CD147 N-glycosylation inhibitors may eventually provide guidance for future optimization.

High Thrombin Generation after Acute Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack Is Associated with a Reduced Risk of Recurrence: An Observational Cohort Study
AbstractThrombin is increasingly recognized to be of importance for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of thrombin generation variables in a cohort of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Thrombin generation potential measured by calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT) and prothrombin fragment F1 + 2 was determined in the acute and convalescent phases for a cohort of 190 patients with AIS/TIA. Microvesicle (MV)-induced thrombin generation potential was determined for a subset of patients using modified CAT. Primary outcome was a composite of fatal and nonfatal AIS or myocardial infarction as documented in Swedish registers during a total follow-up of 986 patient-years. Hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using Cox regression based on variable median split. Peak thrombin and endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) above median in the acute phase were associated with a reduced risk of primary outcome after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors, HR: 0.50 (0.27–0.92), p = 0.026 and HR: 0.53 (0.28–0.99), p = 0.048, respectively. F1 + 2 was lower in patients than in healthy controls but not associated with outcome. MV-induced peak thrombin above median in the acute phase was associated with recurrent AIS, unadjusted HR: 2.65 (1.03–6.44), p = 0.044. Contrary to expectation, high thrombin generation potential is associated with a reduced risk of recurrent ischemic event in patients with AIS/TIA. Low ETP/peak thrombin combined with high MV-induced peak thrombin can potentially identify patients at high risk of recurrence.

Reversion of autonomously replicating sequence mutations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: creation of a eucaryotic replication origin within procaryotic vector DNA.
To investigate how a defective replicon might acquire replication competence, we have studied the reversion of autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) mutations. By mutagenesis of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae plasmid lacking a functional origin of replication, we have obtained a series of cis-acting mutations which confer ARS activity on the plasmid. The original plasmid contained an ARS element inactivated by point mutation, but surprisingly only 1 of the 10 independent Ars+ revertants obtained shows a back mutation in this element. In the remainder of the revertants, sequence changes in the M13 vector DNA generate new ARSs. In two cases, a single nucleotide change results in an improved match to the ARS consensus, while six other cases show small duplications of vector sequence creating additional matches to the ARS consensus. These results suggest that changes in replication origin distribution may arise de novo by point mutation rather than by transposition of preexisting origin sequences.

The Developmental Paradiplomacy of South African Provinces: Context, Scope and the Challenge of Coordination
Summary Paradiplomacy, or the international relations of sub-national governments, has been a feature of South Africa’s international relations since 1995. However, despite a general recognition across all three spheres of government of the developmental value of the practice, aligning the paradiplomacy of most provincial and local governments to South Africa’s development and foreign policy priorities has remained an elusive goal. This article provides a rare insight into the paradiplomacy of South African provinces and explains why successive efforts at both the national and provincial levels to coordinate and rationalize paradiplomacy have been met with minimal success. It argues that although publicly acknowledging the potential benefits of paradiplomacy, national officials continue to harbour an attitude of ambivalence towards the international agency of provincial and local governments, which explains the half-hearted nature of most of the unsuccessful efforts to align paradiplomacy with South Africa’s foreign policy and national priorities. At the provincial level, efforts to manage paradiplomacy have largely been stymied by structural constraints that are embedded in South Africa’s constitutional framework, as well as an adverse political culture in the provinces.

The Advantages of Bilingualism Debate
Bilingualism was once thought to result in cognitive disadvantages, but research in recent decades has demonstrated that experience with two (or more) languages confers a bilingual advantage in executive functions and may delay the incidence of Alzheimer's disease. However, conflicting evidence has emerged leading to questions concerning the robustness of the bilingual advantage for both executive functions and dementia incidence. Some investigators have failed to find evidence of a bilingual advantage; others have suggested that bilingual advantages may be entirely spurious, while proponents of the advantage case have continued to defend it. A heated debate has ensued, and the field has now reached an impasse. This review critically examines evidence for and against the bilingual advantage in executive functions, cognitive aging, and brain plasticity, before outlining how future research could shed light on this debate and advance knowledge of how experience with multiple languages affects cognition and the brain.

Elastomer-Resin Blends. Acrylonitrile Type Synthetic Rubber and Polyvinyl Chloride Resins
Abstract 1. 1,3-Butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers were mill-mixed with benzothiazoyl disulfide, sulfur, litharge, and vinyl resins, such as Vinylite (VYNW), and Saran and cured to compounds with good tensile strength, modulus, hardness, solvent resistance, and blocking temperature. 2. Results show that higher acrylonitrile type of copolymers give cured Vinylite-rubber blends with higher tensile strength, higher 100 per cent modulus, and greater ultimate elongation to break than low acrylonitrile copolymers. 3. The low temperature properties of the cured blends improve as the acrylonitrile content of the synthetic rubber is reduced. 4. An effective cure at 287° F is obtained in 15 to 30 minutes by using 2 parts of accelerator and 2 parts of sulfur per hundred parts of 1,3-butadieneacrylonitrile type copolymer-Vinylite blends. Added amounts of sulfur, and accelerator did not improve the properties or decrease the cure time at 287° F. 5. Some of the cured blends studied are free of tackiness at temperatures as high as 230° F. 6. Some stabilizers for vinyls tested as well as sodium acetate can be used to activate sulfur cures in 1,3-butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer-Vinylite blends to formulate light-colored transparent products.

Interception of Wheat mosaic virus (WMoV) in Brazil in maize seeds from the United States
Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the phytosanitary aspect of two accessions of maize (Zea mays) seeds from the United States introduced to Brazil, regarding the presence of Wheat mosaic virus (WMoV). Two to three weeks after sowing, symptomatic leaves were tested by Elisa using specific antiserum to WMoV. The reaction was positive, and leaf samples were analyzed by real-time PCR and amplified PCR products were sequenced. The WMoV isolates had 99 to 100% nucleotide identity with isolates from Australia and the United States. Until now, there is no report of the presence of this virus in Brazil. According to the federal law on plant protection, the plants were burned to avoid the introduction of this exotic pest in the country. The obtained results show WMoV interception in Brazil.

Microfossils and biofacies of the Vendian fossil biota in the southern Siberian Platform
Abstract Based on the study of the litho- and biofacies of the Vendian Nepa Horizon in the central area of the Siberian Platform inland, a paleoecological model for the Vendian microbiota has been developed. The sedimentation environments of the Katanga saddle have been reconstructed, and three sedimentary systems have been recognized: (1) lower continental, formed by the deposits of proluvial fans and riverbeds of temporary streams; (2) middle transgressive, made up of littoral sand facies in the lower part and of fine-clastic shelf strata in the upper part; and (3) upper, of sea highstand, composed of alternating sand bank facies and fine-clastic lagoon deposits. Four biofacies have been recognized in the fine-terrigenous deposits of the Nepa Horizon: (1) Appendisphaera, represented by a Doushantuo–Pertatataka acanthomorph assemblage; (2) Transitional, with a great diversity of plankton and benthic (including complex) taxa; (3) Vanavarataenia, dominated by Vanavarataenia complex benthic algae; and (4) Oscillatoriopsis, represented by taxonomically poor biotas with morphologically simple (mainly prokaryotic) remains. These biofacies are confined to the following sedimentation environments: Appendisphaera is widespread in the distal open-sea areas; the Transitional biofacies is localized in the distal environments of the semi-isolated inner basin; Vanavarataenia occurs in the proximal areas; and Oscillatoriopsis is typical of the shallow-water environments, both extended (corresponding to the highstand period) and local.

Every opinion counts
Welcome to this month's opinion column: my first. My friends might say that I am opinionated and being Irish I can talk the hind legs off a donkey. But one way to quieten someone who always has something to say is to ask them to write an opinion column! Which got me to thinking – how many times have you heard someone ramble on about something they are not happy about behind the scenes yet they are not prepared to stand up in public and express their opinion openly. This makes it very difficult to address the issues that are at the heart of the matter and enable change to take place.

Defining what a ‘carer’ is and the role they play in in-patient mental healthcare: A focus group study with patients, carers and clinicians
Background The value of carer involvement has been extensively researched and promoted. However, the field lacks exploration of conceptual issues, which might help to explain why there are widespread difficulties in putting policy into practice in this area, as implementation rates remain low internationally. Aims This qualitative study explored patients’, carers’ and clinicians’ perspectives on the role of carers in mental healthcare, particularly with regards to in-patient settings. Method Sixteen focus groups were conducted with patients, carers and clinicians who have current or previous experience of in-patient settings. A thematic analysis was conducted on the transcripts, exploring two key domains: (a) what a ‘carer’ is, and (b) how the ‘carer’ role is described within the context of the hospital environment. Results Participants diverged in their opinions of what the ‘carer’ role entails, and the perceived helpfulness of it. Issues unique to the in-patient setting were identified, such as the role of the hospital environment in enabling or being a barrier to carer involvement. These differing perspectives and contextual factors had an impact on the position of carers in the hospital setting, as they could be viewed as helpful, a hindrance or as passive visitors, depending on the perspectives of clinicians. Conclusions More clarity and agreement is needed between patients, carers and clinicians in terms of how the ‘carer’ role is defined. This has the potential to improve carers’ experience of involvement in hospital settings.

Inflorescence Development and Floral Organogenesis in Taraxacum kok-saghyz
Rubber dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin; TK) has received attention for its natural rubber content as a strategic biomaterial, and a promising, sustainable, and renewable alternative to synthetic rubber from fossil carbon sources. Extensive research on the domestication and rubber content of TK has demonstrated TK’s potential in industrial applications as a relevant natural rubber and latex-producing alternative crop. However, many aspects of its biology have been neglected in published studies. For example, floral development is still poorly characterized. TK inflorescences were studied by scanning electron microscopy. Nine stages of early inflorescence development are proposed, and floral micromorphology is detailed. Individual flower primordia development starts at the periphery and proceeds centripetally in the newly-formed inflorescence meristem. Floral organogenesis begins in the outermost flowers of the capitulum, with corolla ring and androecium formation. Following, pappus primordium—forming a ring around the base of the corolla tube—and gynoecium are observed. The transition from vegetative to inflorescence meristem was observed 21 days after germination. This description of inflorescence and flower development in TK sheds light on the complex process of flowering, pollination, and reproduction. This study will be useful for genetics, breeding, systematics, and development of agronomical practices for this new rubber-producing crop.

Modeling creep in a rotating disc with linear and quadratic composition gradients
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of imposing linear and quadratic composition gradients on the steady state creep behavior of a rotating functionally graded Al‐SiCP disc operating under a radial thermal gradient.Design/methodology/approachMathematical model to describe steady state creep behavior in rotating discs made of isotropic aluminum composite containing linear and quadratic distributions of Silicon Carbide (SiCP) in the radial direction has been formulated. The discs are assumed to operate under a radial thermal gradient originating due to braking action as estimated by FEM analysis. The steady state creep behavior of the discs under stresses developing due to rotation has been determined following Sherby's law. Based on the developed model, the distributions of stresses and strain rates have been obtained and compared for various functionally graded material (FGM) discs containing the same average amount (20 vol per cent) of dispersoid. The creep response of a composite disc with uniform SiCP content of 20 vol per cent and operating under a radial thermal gradient has also been computed for comparison with the results obtained for FGM discs.FindingsThe study reveals that the distribution of stresses and strain rates in a rotating composite disc operating under a radial thermal gradient are significantly affected by different particle distributions with in the disc. The creep stresses and steady state creep rates in a rotating FGM disc can be significantly reduced by employing more SiCP particles in the middle compared to the inner and the outer radii.Originality/valueThe study provides an understanding of the required tailoring of composition in order to control creep stresses and creep rates in a rotating FGM disc operating under a radial thermal gradient.

Manufacturing Relations of the Tripolye Settlement-Workshop Bodaki (based on the materials of the Cucuteni–Tripolye Bugo-Prut interfluve memory)
The manufacturing relations of the Tripolye settlement-workshop Bodaki, which specialized in the production of macro-blades from the high-quality Volhynian flint are researched by the authors of the paper. Thanks to the result of an analysis of the archaeological context, a technical and morphological study of flint and stone artefacts, as well as data from the geological and mineralogical sciences, a circle of sites of the developed period of the Cucuteni-Tripolye culture in the Bugo-Prut interfluve, which consumed flint products from the settlement-workshop Bodaki, was outlined. This is indicated by the absence of traces of processing of the Volhynian flint in their materials, the absolute similarity of the forms of the tools with the tools found in the Bodaki. Located in the upper reaches of the Prut, the Middle Dniester and the Middle Bug, they were quite far from the center of high-quality flint processing of the Volhynian flint. Despite this, the basis of their production complexes were sets of tools made from this raw material, while local breeds were used to a lesser extent. These data indicate a high level of organization of stone-processing production, the presence of well-established links between the Tripolye sites of the time of the BII, which made it possible to provide their economy with high-quality production equipment.
