N-acylethanolamide metabolizing enzymes are upregulated in human neural progenitor-derived neurons exposed to sub-lethal oxidative stress (open access)

N-acylethanolamide metabolizing enzymes are upregulated in human neural progenitor-derived neurons exposed to sub-lethal oxidative stress

Article is a study determining whether ReN cells, a superior cell model system for studying neurodevelopment, differentiation, and neuroprotection, express proteins involved in canonical eCB NAE signaling and whether oxidative stress can induce their expression. This study is a first step toward determining how oxidative stress affects CB1, CB2, FAAH, NAAA, and NAPE-PLD expression and their potential defense against oxidative stress.

Adolescents’ Physical Activity and Depressive Symptoms: A Psychosocial Mechanism (open access)

Adolescents’ Physical Activity and Depressive Symptoms: A Psychosocial Mechanism

Article tests a hypothesized path model of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) variables (i.e., attitude toward behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention) with physical activity (PA) and depressive symptoms. The findings support the theoretical tenets of TPB and provide empirical evidence of the psychosocial mechanism of PA and depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents. It suggests that building PA intervention strategies while considering the TPB framework may promote adolescents’ physical and mental health.

agroString: Visibility and Provenance through a Private Blockchain Platform for Agricultural Dispense towards Consumers

Article discusses the large quantities of farm and meat products that rot and are wasted if correct actions are not taken leading to serious health concerns if consumed. Because there is no proper system for tracking and communicating the status of goods to consumers, a right which according to the authors should be a given, they propose a method of increased communication using Corda private blockchain.

Anomalous thermo-osmotic conversion performance of ionic covalent-organic-framework membranes in response to charge variations (open access)

Anomalous thermo-osmotic conversion performance of ionic covalent-organic-framework membranes in response to charge variations

Authors of the article systematically investigated how the membrane charge populations affect permselectivity by decoupling their effects from the impact of the pore structure using a multivariate strategy for constructing covalent-organic-framework membranes. The complex interplay between pore-pore interactions in response to charge variations for ion transport across the upscaled nanoporous membranes helps explain the obtained results. This study has far-reaching implications for the rational design of ionic membranes to augment energy extraction rather than intuitively focusing on achieving high densities.

Application of Big Data Analytics in Precision Medicine: Lesson for Ethiopia (open access)

Application of Big Data Analytics in Precision Medicine: Lesson for Ethiopia

Precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that considers individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. Big data analytics (BDA) using cutting-edge technologies helps to design models that can diagnose, treat and predict diseases. In Ethiopia, healthcare service delivery faces many challenges specifically in relation to prescribing the right medicine to the right patient at the right time. Thus, patients face challenges ranging from staying on treatment plans longer, and then leaving treatment, and finally dying of complications. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore the trends, challenges, and opportunities of applying BDA in precision medicine globally and take lessons for Ethiopia through a systematic literature review of 19 peer reviewed articles from five databases. The findings indicated that cancer in general, epilepsy, and systemic diseases altogether are areas currently getting big attention. The challenges are attributed to the nature of health data, failure in collaboration for data sharing, ethical and legal issues, interoperability of systems, poor knowledge skills and culture, and poor infrastructure. Development of modern technologies, experimental technologies and methods, cloud computing, Internet of Things, social networks and Ethiopia’s government initiative to promote private technological firms could be an …

An approach for reliably identifying high-frequency oscillations and reducing false-positive detections (open access)

An approach for reliably identifying high-frequency oscillations and reducing false-positive detections

Article states that high-frequency oscillation (HFO), classified as ripples (80-240 Hz) and fast ripples (240-500 Hz), is regarded as a promising biomarker of epilepsy. The authors presented an integrated, multi-layered procedure capable of automatically rejecting HFOs from a variety of common false positives, such as motion, background signals, and sharp transients.

Are Tourists Facilitators of the Movement of Free-Ranging Dogs?

Article discusses how free-ranging dogs are of major conservation concern worldwide as they negatively affect wildlife. Although scientists and governmental agencies are aware of the problem and responsible pet ownership strategies are beginning to be implemented, the tourism sector must be explicitly integrated into wildlife conservation management strategies.

Assessing approaches to learning with nonparametric multidimensional scaling

Article reports on a trace-based assessment of approaches to learning used by middle school aged children who interacted with NASA Mars Mission science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) games in Whyville, an online game environment with 8 million registered young learners. Differences in approach to learning were found illustrating the potential value of the methodology to curriculum and game-based learning designers as well as other creators of online STEM content for pre-college youth.

Associations between volunteering and cognitive impairment: The moderating role of race/ethnicity (open access)

Associations between volunteering and cognitive impairment: The moderating role of race/ethnicity

Article describes how although volunteering has been shown to benefit cognitive health, there is a paucity of evidence on informal volunteering and subjective measures of cognitive impairment. The author's study aimed to examine the associations of both formal and informal volunteering with older adults' objective and subjective cognition and explore the moderating role of race/ethnicity in such associations.

Autoencoder Composite Scoring to Evaluate Prosthetic Performance in Individuals with Lower Limb Amputation

Authors of the article created an overall assessment metric using a deep learning autoencoder to directly compare clinical outcomes in a comparison of lower limb amputees using two different prosthetic devices—a mechanical knee and a microprocessor-controlled knee. The proposed methods were used on data collected from ten participants with a dysvascular transfemoral amputation recruited for a prosthetics research study.
