    AbstractLet A be a noetherian integral domain, D=(1,D1,…,Di…) be a differentation of A, and B be a ring such that A⊂B⊂Ā. In the paper we mainly prove (whenever Ā is finite over A): (a) if α is the conductor of A in B, then A√α is D-invariant. (b) D extends to the seminormalization +A of A in Ā

    The impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the mental health of healthcare workers in a hospital setting—A Systematic Review

    Objectives The SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic has subjected healthcare workers (HCWs) to high risk of infection through direct workplace exposure, coupled with increased workload and psychological stress. This review aims to determine the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on mental health outcomes of hospital-based HCWs and formulate recommendations for future action. Methods A systematic review was performed between 31st December 2019 and 17th June 2020 through Ovid Medline and Embase databases (PROSPERO ID CRD42020181204). Studies were included for review if they investigated the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on mental health outcomes of hospital-based HCWs and used validated psychiatric scoring tools. Prevalence of ICD-10 classified psychiatric disorders was the primary outcome measure. Results The initial search returned 436 articles. Forty-four studies were included in final analysis, with a total of 69,499 subjects. Prevalence ranges of six mental health outcomes were identified: depression 13.5%-44.7%; anxiety 12.3%-35.6%; acute stress reaction 5.2%-32.9%; post-traumatic stress disorder 7.4%-37.4%; insomnia 33.8%-36.1%; and occupational burnout 3.1%-43.0%. Direct exposure to SARS-CoV-2 patients was the most common risk factor identified for all mental health outcomes except occupational burnout. Nurses, frontline HCWs, and HCWs with low social support and fewer years of working experience reported the worst outcomes. Conclusion The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has significantly impacted the mental health of HCWs. Frontline staff demonstrate worse mental health outcomes. Hospitals should be staffed to meet service provision requirements and to mitigate the impact onmental health. This can be improved with access to rapid-response psychiatric teams and should be continually monitored throughout the pandemic and beyond its conclusion

    Standardization of health data. ICAR guidelines including health key

    Full text link
    peer reviewedSystematic improvement of animal health requires knowledge about the status quo and reliable measures to characterize it. In dairy herds, health monitoring has gained importance to ensure sustainable and cost-efficient milk production in accordance with public expectations. In this context, standardized recording of health data is essential for comparability and interpretability of health-related analyses, implying the need for generally accepted and clear guidelines. To assist implementation of health monitoring and convey harmonization, the ICAR Functional Traits Working Group has compiled the ICAR guidelines for Recording, Evaluation and Genetic Improvement of Health Traits, which were approved in June 2012. Disease diagnoses and observations of impaired health can be classified as direct health data, providing the basis for targeted approaches to improve the animal health status. Data sources need to be taken into account because of their impact on information content and specificity. The key for health data recording is characterized by a hierarchical structure that makes it possible to record on different levels of detail and includes comprehensive recording options with coverage of all organ systems and types of diseases. Important features are compatibility with other recording systems and broad usability as a reference regardless of specific intentions and contexts of health data collection. Input can range from very specific diagnoses of veterinarians to very general diagnoses or observations by producers, and the unique coding of clearly defined health incidents minimizes the risk of misinterpretations and facilitates analyses of different types of health data. The overall quality and success of health monitoring is substantially influenced byappropriate use of standards and available recording tools, implying the need for tailored support particularly in the implementation phase. In integrated concepts, specific qualifications of professions can be used synergistically to further standardize recording of health data and thereby benefit efficiency of animal health improvement on farm and at the population level

    Dynamics of hydration water in protein

    No full text
    Incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering studies of in vivo deuterated C-phycocyanin, at different levels of hydration, have been made. We show that the mobility at high temperature, (∼300\sim 300 K) of the water molecules near the protein surface can be described by relatively simple models. At full hydration the high temperature data can be interpreted using a model where each water molecule is diffusing in a confined space of 3 Å in radius. At low hydration, and 298 K, the diffusional behaviour is typical of jump diffusion with a residence time 10 times larger than the one in bulk water at the same temperature

    Selection against metabolic diseases

    Abstract: Metabolic diseases, such as ketosis and milk fever, are among the most common diseases affecting dairy cattle. Genetic improvement of ability to resist metabolic diseases can be achieved by direct selection with genetic evaluation based on clinically observed traits, or by indirect selection based on indicators or predictors of metabolic diseases. The most prevalent metabolic diseases in dairy cattle, for which genetic parameters have been published, are ketosis, displaced abomasum, milk fever, and tetany. In this review we present genetic parameters for these metabolic diseases, give a status of genetic and genomic evaluations, and discuss possible indicator traits.acceptedVersio
