ABSTRACT: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) are two significant educational boards in India. Furthermore, it is worth noting that every state has its own autonomous State Board of Education. In the recent times, IB Board and Cambridge Board are also introduced in many schools of metropolitan cities of the country. This research paper aims to compare and comprehend the major educational boards in India, specifically the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE), the International Baccalaureate (IB), and the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). The research seeks to elucidate the disparities and resemblances among these boards. This study report aims to provide students, parents, and educators with a comprehensive understanding of the notable distinctions and similarities across the education boards options available in India so they can make a smart choice according to the need and requirements of their children and their future.

<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> <em>Peace education is a crucial element in shaping responsible global citizens who value non-violence, empathy, and cultural harmony. This study aims to assess the awareness of peace education among students and teachers in ICSE and IB board schools in Pune city. A descriptive survey research method was used, involving 200 students and teachers selected through incidental sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires and analysed using percentage-based methods.</em> <em>The findings indicate that awareness of peace education among students is significantly low, with many students having minimal exposure to structured peace-related concepts in their academic journey. Teachers, although more aware of peace education principles, highlighted the challenges of integrating these concepts into their teaching due to the absence of a dedicated peace education curriculum. The study also reveals that peace education components are scarcely incorporated into the official curriculum, and classroom transactions seldom include interactive or experiential learning related to peace values. Extracurricular activities promoting peace education are also limited in these schools.</em> <em>Challenges in implementing peace education include a lack of structured curriculum guidelines, insufficient teacher training, and limited institutional support. Given these gaps, the study emphasizes the urgent need for a well-defined peace education curriculum tailored for ICSE and IB board schools. Such a curriculum should incorporate practical activities, ethical discussions, and real-world applications to cultivate a culture of peace and social responsibility among students.</em> <em>The study concludes that integrating peace education as a separate subject or embedding it systematically within existing subjects can significantly enhance student awareness and engagement. Future policy recommendations include curriculum restructuring, teacher training, and collaborative efforts between educational institutions and policymakers to ensure the effective implementation of peace education in schools.</em> <strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong>Peace Education, ICSE Board, IB Board, Curriculum Integration, Experiential Learning, Ethical Education, Non-Violence, Global Citizenship, Educational Policy

Aims: Third-gender people in India face discrimination in all aspects of life - social participation, education, job etc. Good education can be a tool to fight against this discrimination but the educational system is usually not very inclusive when it comes to third-gender persons. In this paper, the researchers present an analysis from their survey of the regulatory landscape (laws, policies, guidelines, …) of India in the context of school-level education for third-gender pupils. The paper also presents a brief overview of the international standards to set the scene. Methodology: Systematic survey of regulation, policy and guideline documents in India for School-level Education. Results: The analysis indicates that despite the legal recognition of third-gender persons in India and “inclusive education” being one of the central themes of all national-level policies, there is still a lack of concrete guidelines about implementing inclusive education, specifically for third-gender pupils. Furthermore, the guideline documents from three big educational boards in India (CBSE, ICSE and UP board) don’t contain any guideline for inclusion of third-gender pupils. Even the language of the guideline documents themselves was found to be non-inclusive for people of non-binary gender. Implications and Conclusions: Based on the analysis, the researchers found the gaps in the regulatory landscape of India for inclusion of third-gender pupils and provided recommendations for improving the regulatory landscape in India for school-level education of third-gender persons and also for making the language of these (or others) regulatory documents more inclusive.

Full textAbstract:
The paper proposes new ontologies for describing and diagnosing malfunctions of subsystems of autonomous under-water vehicles (AUVs) as part of the development of a previously created approach to the intelligent diagnosis of these vehicles using knowledge bases. To implement this approach, it is proposed to use two knowledge bases, one of which describes malfunctions, signs for their identification and actions necessary to adapt to the negative consequences caused by the appearance of these malfunctions. Another database contains information about the main subsystems of the AUVs, devices and replaceable modules, as well as the states in which they may be. Knowledge bases are used in the operation of intelligent control and emergency systems (ICES) on the AUV boards, which allow for comprehensive functional diagnostics of all subsystems of the device, including payload modules, as well as adaptation to the conse-quences of emerging malfunctions, taking into account the actual cause-and-effect relationships between them. The proposed ontologies for the indicated knowledge bases are compact, which makes it possible to use ICES on the AUV boards. To maintain up-to-date information about possible malfunctions, it is proposed to carry out continuous remote maintenance of ICES using the software Internet platform for the development and support of intelligent cloud ser-vices IACPaaS. To test the operability of ICES, its prototype was developed, which implements the functions of processing knowledge bases and developing solutions for adapting to faults. The simulation results of the prototype operation showed that ICES fulfills the assigned tasks and can be implemented on the on-board computers of existing AUVs using known programming technologies.

Full textAbstract:
Diesel-LNG internal combustion engines (ICEs) are the most promising light and heavy-duty truck (HDT) powering solution for a transition towards a mixed electric-hydrogen renewable energy economy. The diesel-liquid CH4 ICEs have indeed many commonalities with diesel-liquid H2 ICEs, in the infrastructure, on-board fuel storage, and injection technology, despite the fact H2 needs a much lower temperature. The paper outlines the advantages of dual fuel (2F) diesel-LNG ICEs developed adopting two high-pressure (HP) injectors per cylinder, one for the diesel and one for the LNG, plus super-turbocharging. The diesel-LNG ICEs provide high fuel energy conversion efficiencies, and reduced CO2, PM, and NOx emissions. Super-turbocharging permits the shaping of the torque curve while improving acceleration transients. Diesel-LNG ICEs may also clean up the air of background pollution in many polluted areas in the world. Computational results prove the steady-state advantages of the proposed novel design. While the baseline diesel model is a validated model, the 2F LNG model is not. The perfect alignment of the diesel and diesel-LNG ICE performances proven by Westport makes however the proposed results trustworthy.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The sheath plasma of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) is highly compressed, heated, turbulent, and magnetically intense relative to the ambient solar wind. In this Letter, we perform a detailed study of proton temperature anisotropy within the 333 ICME sheath regions observed on board the Wind spacecraft spanning the years 1995–2015. Our observations show that marginal stability thresholds of mirror mode and firehose instabilities predominantly constrain the proton temperature anisotropy within these sheath regions regardless of ICME sheath plasma speed. This is true even when the plasma beta values are less than 2, a parameter space that should have favored the prevalence of parallel firehose and proton cyclotron instabilities according to linear stability analysis. This investigation demonstrates the critical role played by distinct plasma instabilities in shaping the evolution of ICME sheath plasma compared to the broader solar wind environment.

Abstract The Tianwen-1 spacecraft is China's first Mars exploration mission. The Mars Orbiter Magnetometer (MOMAG) is a scientific instrument on board the Tianwen-1 mission that is designed to study magnetic fields at Mars, including the solar wind to the magnetosheath and the ionosphere. Using the first Tianwen-1/MOMAG data that is publicly available, we present an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) and stream interaction region (SIR) list based on in situ observations at Mars between 2021 November 16 and 2021 December 31. We compared the magnetic field intensity and vector magnetic field measurements from Tianwen-1/MOMAG and Mars Atmospheric Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN)/Magnetometer (MAG) during the ICME and SIR interval and found a generally good consistency between them. Due to MAVEN's orbital adjustment since 2019, the Tianwen-1/MOMAG instrument is almost unique in its status as an interplanetary magnetic field monitor currently at Mars. The observations indicate that the MOMAG instrument on Tianwen-1 is performing well and can provide accurate measurements of the vector magnetic field in the near-Mars solar wind space. The multipoint observations combining MOMAG, MINPA, and MEPA on board Tianwen-1 with MAG, SWIA, and STATIC on board MAVEN will help develop systematic studies of the characteristics of ICMEs and SIRs at Mars, and their influences on the Martian atmosphere and ionosphere.

<em>The object of research is the Raspberry Pi single-board computer. The work examines the optimization of architecture-independent hardware platforms using its example. The research is based on an integrated scientific approach based on a system-analytical, structural-functional, empirical and typological approach. It is emphasized that the entire Raspberry Pi line uses APM-architecture processors. The genesis of Raspberry Pi is given, the parameters of the last build are determined. It is noted that the latest version is dated November 2020. It is equipped with wireless WiFi and Bluetooth modules (2×USB 3.0 and 1×USB 2.0 ports type A, 5.0, BLE), which expand the boundaries of mini-PC application in the field of Ethernet technologies and has a frequency of 1.8 GHz. The appearance of one of the popular Raspberry Pi B+boards has been formed, with the separation of the main blocks. The basic principles of improving the performance of the Raspberry Pi single board computer are determined, each of which is based on a specific mechanism. The first is the addition of ZRAM as a compressed random access memory block device. The principle of ZRAM operation is described, the mechanism for activating ZRAM on the Raspberry Pi is given. To improve the performance of the Raspberry Pi single board computer, the use of an NVMe disk is justified. It is emphasized that the NVMe disk is reliable and has a high data transfer rate. Connecting it to the Raspberry Pi single board computer is the optimal solution to improve performance. The tuning sequence is presented, the numerical result of the NVMe disk operation based on the Raspberry Pi single-board computer is proposed. It is proposed, as a principle to improve performance, the installation of an ICE Tower CPU based on Raspberry Pi. It is noted that the ICE Tower CPU is a cooling system that is designed to cool the Raspberry Pi. The principles of tuning ICE Tower CPU and the result of fluctuations in temperature components using the rpi-monitor are described. As part of the study, performance improvements were obtained from 26 % to 34 %, which is mainly in line with the expected theoretical improvement of 34 %.</em>

Full textAbstract:
Abstract During their propagation in the heliosphere, interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) interact with galactic cosmic ray (GCR) particles, modifying their spectrum and driving anisotropies. We analyze the first large Forbush decrease (FD) of Solar Cycle 25 on 2021 November 3–5 by using multipoint in situ observations and neutron monitors to study the association between FD characteristics and ICME. We use the Grad–Shafranov reconstruction to infer the magnetic field configuration of the ICME. We model the neutron monitor response through primary spectrum and anisotropy. The primary spectrum is parameterized with the force-field approximation and the anisotropy is modeled through a spherical harmonic expansion. We optimize the model parameters during the FD by using ground-based observations provided by the worldwide neutron-monitor network. The model’s results are compared with space-based measurements of the differential proton flux measured by the HEPD-01 detector on board the CSES-01 satellite and of the integral counts of both the High-Energy Particle Detector (HEPD-01) and the High Energy Telescope on board the Solar Orbiter. Anisotropy develops during the ICME passage, within the magnetic flux rope (MFR) and is found to be bidirectional. The force-field parameterization of the primary GCR fluxes based on ground-based measurements is found to be in very good agreement with spacecraft observations in the sub-GeV range. The GCR anisotropy obtained by fitting the model to ground-based observations is consistent with interplanetary magnetic field observations. The results suggest that the local magnetic field has a substantial axial component that is aligned to the MFR axis, and determines the GCR anisotropy at the typical neutron monitor energies.

Abstract Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are solar transients that have significant effects on the upper atmosphere and ionosphere of Mars. The simultaneous spacecraft observations from Tianwen-1/MOMAG in solar wind and multiple instruments on board the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) in the Martian upper atmosphere are used to study the response of Mars to an ICME. The ICME was observed at Mars by Tianwen-1 and MAVEN at 00:00 UT on 2021 December 10, which was earlier observed by BepiColombo upstream of Mars at 22:32 UT on 2021 December 6. During 2021 December 6–15, MAVEN measured the nightside ionosphere and Tianwen-1 measured the dayside ionosphere while both were inside the Martian bow shock. The rapid drop in densities of ionospheric ions and electrons, which is typically identified as the end of the ionosphere at altitudes between 300–800 km, is known as the ionopause. The altitude of the Martian ionopause location was lowered by the high dynamic pressure of the solar wind during the ICME passage. The depletion of the plasma density in the topside Martian ionosphere on the nightside reveals the presence of substantial ion and electron escape to space through the interaction between the ICME and Mars. The column abundance of plasma dramatically decreased, with 34% e−, 61% O 2 + , and 73% O+ reduced. This study highlights the significant impact of the space weather associated with the intense magnetic field and high dynamic pressure of the ICME on Mars’s atmosphere, which is particularly important for future human exploration missions to Mars.

Language is the primary medium of communication and expression of thoughts and ideas. In India, there are two official languages- Hindi and English. English has-been occupying a dominant position since independence. There have been serious attempts to integrate English language in the school curriculum since 1980s. In the schools of West Bengal, English is taught either as a first language or second language. The present study intends to find the status of teaching English language in the secondary schools of Siliguri (West Bengal) where the schools with three different boards, ICSE, CBSE and state boards are chosen. The sample consisted of 50 teachers and 50 students from a total of 25 schools. A survey method and observation inventory was used for collection of data. The conclusion is that English language teachers need to abreast themselves with the latest developments in the context of language teaching. The co-operation from the school, teachers, parents and students yield fruitful results in improving the status of English language teaching.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have various advantages over traditional internal combustion engines (ICEs), including reduced carbon emissions, greater energy efficiency, and a lessened reliance on petroleum supplies. The use of EV charging infrastructure and power levels are reviewed in this article. Battery performance is affected by the design of the battery as well as the charger parameters and infrastructure. In this paper, the off-board and on-board charging methods with bidirectional and unidirectional power flow are compared. Hardware restrictions and connectivity concerns are eased with a unidirectional charger. The bidirectional charger enables both battery energy injection back into the grid and the vehicle. Power is constrained by the onboard charger due to its size, weight, and price. Both conductive and inductive onboard chargers are viable. For high current rates, which are not supported by EVs, it is feasible to develop an off-board charger. The time required for charging, amount of power, cost, equipment, location, infrastructure configurations, and other parameters are provided, compared, and reviewed for different power level chargers, such as level-1 (slow), level-2 (semi-fast), and level-3 (fast).

Abstract The velocity distribution functions (VDFs) of He+ pickup ions (PUIs) through two interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) events associated with two interplanetary shocks are examined. Their specific properties in pitch-angle space were used as tracers of the local physical processes. These VDFs were studied using observations from the PLasma And SupraThermal Ion Composition instrument on board the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory with 10 minutes cadence and full energy and angular resolutions. The analysis focuses on pitch angle distributions and their average/deviation to evaluate heating/cooling, acceleration/deceleration, and pitch angle diffusion. For an ICME accompanied by the quasi-perpendicular shock, (a) reflected and energized particles were found in the upstream, and pitch angle scattering and suprathermal particle production were conspicuous in the downstream; (b) strong heating was observed in the sheath region; (c) suprathermal particles were found in the sheath region and attributed to the velocity fluctuation within the solar wind; and (d) universal pitch angle scattering was found throughout the ICME. For an ICME accompanied by a quasi-parallel shock, (a) localized heating and acceleration were found around the shock location; (b) power-law suprathermal tail distributions were found near the shock, suggesting diffusive shock acceleration processes; (c) weak or no sheath heating was observed; and (d) pitch angle scattering was correlated with magnetic field power spectral density. In the magnetic cloud for this event, pitch angle diffusion consistent with the scattering by counterpropagating Alfvén waves was found. This type of analysis can be applied to study shock injection processes and PUI transport/diffusion processes under active conditions.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract We present a study of the efficiency of the acceleration of suprathermal electrons at collisionless shock waves driven by interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs), with the data analysis from both the spacecraft observations and test-particle simulations. The observations are from the 3DP/EESA instrument on board Wind during the 74 shock events listed in Yang et al., and the test-particle simulations are carried out through 315 cases with different shock parameters. A total of seven energy channels ranging from 0.428–4.161 keV are selected. In the simulations, using a backward-in-time method, we calculate the average downstream flux in the 90° pitch angle. On the other hand, the average downstream and upstream fluxes in the 90° pitch angle can also be directly obtained from the 74 observational shock events. In addition, the variation in the event number ratio with the downstream to upstream flux ratio above a threshold value in terms of the shock angle (the angle between the shock normal and upstream magnetic field), upstream Alfvén Mach number, and shock compression ratio is statistically obtained. It is shown from both the observations and simulations that a large shock angle, upstream Alfvén Mach number, and shock compression ratio can enhance the efficiency of the shock acceleration. Our results suggest that shock drift acceleration is more efficient in the electron acceleration by ICME-driven shocks, which confirms the findings of Yang et al.

The aim of the study was to explore the effect of PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) and PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) media on deconserved ejaculated boar sperm and their preparation for artificial insemination to optimize biotechnological approaches. The studies used ejaculated cryopreserved sperm of a boar of the Myrhorod breed Dnipro 641. Genetic material was stored in the Bank of Genetic Resources of Animals IABG nnamed after M.V. Zubets NAAS for eight years. The sperm suspension was thawed in a water bath at +37 °C for 5 min until completely thawed. Separation of sperm from cryopreservative agent and diluent was performed using the swim up method in Sp-TALP medium. After the presence of sperm in the 10.0% solution of PVP for 10 min, motility decreased by 68.2% (P < 0.05) and amounted to 3.4%, and after the next 10 min of incubation decreased to 1.4% (P <0.01), which is 10 times lower than the initial mobility. In 10.0% of PVA mobility after 10 min of incubation decreased by 37.4% (P <0.05) and amounted to 6.7%, and after 10 min decreased to 5.7% (P < 0.01), which is 1.8 times lower than the initial mobility. It was found that in the case of 10.0% of PVP solution ejaculated deconserved boar sperm lose motility by 86.9% (P <0.01) from the initial motility, which makes it impossible to select a suitable sperm for fertilization by ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection). It is shown that 10.0% PVA solution can be used for immobilization of boar sperm, as it reduces motility by 46.7% (P <0.01) of the initial sperm motility. It is proved that the mobility in the case of incubation of deconserved ejaculated boar sperm in 5.0% PVA solution decreases only by 28.0% (P <0.05) from the initial, which is optimal when using cryopreserved boar sperm, material which are limited and convenient for the operator and safe for oocytes.

Abstract During the thirteenth encounter of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission, the spacecraft traveled through a topologically complex interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) beginning on 2022 September 5. PSP traversed through the flank and wake of the ICME while observing the event for nearly two days. The Solar Probe ANalyzer and FIELDS instruments collected in situ measurements of the plasma particles and magnetic field at ∼13.3 R S from the Sun. We observe classical ICME signatures, such as a fast-forward shock, bidirectional electrons, low proton temperatures, low plasma β, and high alpha particle to proton number density ratios. In addition, PSP traveled through two magnetic inversion lines, a magnetic reconnection exhaust, and multiple sub-Alfvénic regions. We compare these in situ measurements to remote-sensing observations from the Wide-field Imager for Solar PRobe Plus instrument on board PSP and the Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation on the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory. Based on white-light coronagraphs, two CMEs are forward modeled to best fit the extent of the event. Furthermore, Air Force Data Assimilative Flux Transport magnetograms modeled from Global Oscillation Network Group magnetograms and Potential Field Source Surface modeling portray a global reconfiguration of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) after the CME event, suggesting that these eruptions play a significant role in the evolution of the HCS.

Abstract Eigaard, O. R. 2009. A bottom-up approach to technological development and its management implications in a commercial fishery. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 66: 916–927. Analyses of electronic equipment on board Danish trawlers and gillnetters show that newer, larger vessels have a significantly higher “technological level” than older, smaller vessels. A hypothesis of linkage between fish-finding and navigation technology on board and standard vessel characteristics was tested based on the definition of a technological index. Using a proportional odds model, vessel length accounted for most of the variation in technological level on board, with odds of 1.17 (95% confidence interval: 1.16–1.18) of a higher index value for each increase in vessel length of 1 m. Vessel age was also significantly correlated with index values. In considering the technological index as an indicator of fishing power, the results have important implications for capacity-reduction schemes intended to reduce harvest pressure on fish stocks. In the course of such structural management plans, older, smaller vessels of a fleet are often replaced with newer, larger vessels within a fixed or reduced nominal capacity limit (e.g. total fleet tonnage), but according to the findings presented, nominal capacity reduction in fleet level may be undermined by increases in individual vessel fishing power.

Introduction0.9% saline and Ringer’s lactate are the two most common resuscitation crystalloid fluids. 0.9% saline may lead to hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis and may be associated with impaired kidney function and death. Few large multicentre randomised trials have been conducted to evaluate the effect of these two fluids on clinically important outcomes.MethodsFLUID is a pragmatic pilot cluster randomised crossover trial in which four hospitals will be randomised to normal saline or Ringer’s lactate for 14 weeks, then crossover to the alternative fluid for the subsequent 14 weeks after 1 to 3 week transition. With waiver of informed consent, all adult and paediatric patients admitted to participating sites will be included in the FLUID trial except for neonates. Primary feasibility outcome is study fluid protocol adherence (target:≥80%). Secondary feasibility outcomes include time to research ethics board (REB) approval and readiness to trial initiation (≤3 months from REB submission and approval). Primary (composite of death or re-admission to hospital in first 90 days of index hospitalisation) and secondary clinical outcomes for the future large FLUID trial will be described. Protocol adherence will be collected by site at specified time points. All clinical data will be obtained at patient level through provincial health administrative data held at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES). Event rates for the primary and secondary outcomes will be described using frequencies and proportions with 95% CIs. Intracluster and interperiod correlation coefficients will be calculated from population-level data available at ICES.Ethics and disseminationThe study protocol has been approved by the Ottawa Health Science Research Ethics Board. The FLUID pilot will determine feasibility, and ICES data across all potential sites in Ontario will allow calculation of sample size parameter estimates to inform the design and implementation of the large trial.Trial registration numberNCT02721485; Pre-results.

The cellular origin of multiple myeloma (MM) has not yet been identified. Based on immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene analysis, myeloma cells are derived from mature B cells. Chromosomal aberrations such as trisomy and chromosomal translocation (cTr) play a critical role in the early tumorigenesis of MM. We hypothesized that the abnormal cells from which myeloma cells originate might be mature B lymphocytes with chromosomal or genetic changes in the reprogrammed state that enable them to acquire the potential to become tumors in the process of redifferentiation into B lymphocytes. We established induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSs) from normal B lymphocytes (BiPSCs: BiPSC13 & MIB2-6); these BiPSCs have the same VDJ rearrangement of IgH as the original B lymphocytes and differentiate into CD34+/CD38- hematopoietic progenitor cells co-culture with stromal cells, AGM-S3 (Sci Rep, 2017). We then established a method to induce reciprocal cTr t(11;14), which is a reciprocal cTr between IgH and CCND1 and the most frequent cTr in MM, using the CRISPR/Cas9 system; cTr was induced by infection of IgH-CCND1 lentiCRISPRv2 lentivirus, which targets the human IgH Eµ region and 13kb upstream of the CCND1 coding sequence, to BiPSCs (Oncol Lett, 2019). Subsequently, we established cell lines carrying reciprocal cTr t(11;14) between CCND1 and either an allele in which VDJ rearrangement of IgH had been completed or an allele in which VDJ rearrangement had not been completed (stopped at DJ joining) in BiPSC13 t(11;14) (AZ & AX) and MIB2-6 t(11;14) (BC & BG), respectively. These BiPSCs differentiated into CD34+/CD38-/CD45+/-/CD43+/- hematopoietic progenitors cells in co-culture with AGM-S3 or in stem cell differentiation medium; this was subsequently confirmed by the differentiation into granulocytes, macrophages, and erythroblasts in a colony-formation assay. We are now trying to produce BiPSCs in which cTr t(11;14) is induced when they differentiate into mature B cells expressing CD27. First, we used the Cre-loxP recombination system to induce cTr t(11;14) in BiPSCs. BiPSCs were transfected with IgH loxP-Neo-loxP knock-in vector and IgH lentiCRISPRv2 vector. Subsequently, G418-resistant BiPSCs carrying loxP-Neo-loxP in IgH were transfected with iCre-EGFP. After removing the loxP-Neo site from EGFP-positive cells, BiPSCs carrying IgH-loxP were transfected with CCND1 loxP-FRT3-Neo-FRT3 knock-in vector and CCND1 lentiCRISPRv2 vector. Subsequently, G418-resistant BiPSCs carrying IgH-loxP in IgH and loxP-FRT3-Neo-FRT3 in CCND1 were transfected with Flpo-EGFP. After removing the FRT3-Neo site from EGFP-positive cells, BiPSCs carrying IgH-loxP in IgH and CCND1-loxP-FRT3 in CCND1 were transfected with iCre-HygR. Hygromycin B-resistant cells were picked, the reciprocal cTr t(11;14) was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction, and we established BiPSCs with der(11)t(11;14) and BiPSCs with der(14)t(11;14). We also developed a system in which Cre is expressed along with CD27 expression in the B cell lymphoma cell line Raji. These BiPSCs could be useful for the study of myeloma-initiating cells, but whether they would be able to be redifferentiated into B lymphocyte is important.

Abstract Abstract 2524 Poster Board II-501 B cells constitute an integral part of the immune system. The development of mature B cells from hematopoietic stem cells is a complex process that is regulated in a hierarchical order by various proteins, particularly transcription factors. Sox4 is a SRY-related HMG box containing transcription factor and is known to be involved in B cell development. However, the role of Sox4 in various stages of B cell development has not been systematically investigated. In this study we used a conditional knockout mouse strain and studied the effect of Sox4 deletion in B lymphopoiesis in adult mice. We crossed the Sox4-floxed mice with different Cre mouse strains that were expected to delete the floxed Sox4 gene at different B cell developmental stages. These Cre strains included Vav-iCre (expressed in hematopoietic stem cell stage, starting from early embryos), MX1-Cre (expression in hematopoietic stem cells, induced by pIpC injection in adults), MB1-Cre (expressed in B cells, starting from early progenitor cells in embryos), and CD21-Cre (expressed in mature B cells). We demonstrated that deletion of Sox4 caused an arrest of B lymphopoiesis at the transition from pre-pro-B cell (fraction A) stage to pro-B cell stage (fraction B): fraction A cells are slightly reduced in number whereas fraction B and later stage cells are nearly absent. The pre-pro-B cells from the Sox4 knockout mice retain a population of AA4.1+ cells, which are considered to be developed into B cells. Deletion of Sox4 in early embryonic stage (Vav-iCre) or in adults (Mx1-Cre) results in a similar phenotype on B lymphopoiesis, except that peritoneal B1 cells appear to be affected with Vav-iCre, but not with Mx1-Cre. MB1-Cre gave rise to similar results as did Vav-iCre, but the arrest was not as dramatic as with Vav-iCre. CD21-Cre produced no significant difference in B cell phenotype. These data suggested that Sox4 is required for early B cell development at the transition from pre-pro-B cells to pro-B cells and is not required for mature B cells. We are currently investigating the transcription program of this transcription factor in B cell development. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Ultimate-ly the sandwich plate can be used to replace some components of the traditional steel protective dev-ices aimed at improving the overall crashworthiness performance of protective devices. This paper analyzes the influence of two plates on crashworthiness. And based on the comparison between the sandwich plates and the equivalent flat plate, the results from numerical simulation show that the X-sandwich panel can provide an excellent crashworthiness.Tight type of X-sandwich board is perfor-ms better than the discrete and ordinary steel plates, which can be applied to bridge protection device.

Estimation of total retained catch based on frequency of fishing trips, inspections at sea, transhipment, and VMS data. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1598–1605. The satellite-based vessel monitoring system in the Norwegian Economic Zone provides detailed information about individual trips by vessels. Vessel sizes are available through official registries, and the storage capacity for fish is estimated using the established conversion factors as a function of the vessel's gross registered tonnage. Scientists have had access to the database of both transport and fishing vessels, with records for individual trips, in addition to information about the total round weight (whole fish) of cod and haddock for trips inspected by the coastguard. The analysis assumes that trips with complete documentation of the fish on board are a random sample, so allowing estimation of the mean amount of both cod and haddock per trip, and annual totals give the number of trips per vessel annually. ICES has accepted this methodology for estimating illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) catches, which has resulted in 15 000–166 000 t (3–35%) being added to the officially reported landings of Northeast Arctic cod during the years 2002–2008. IUU landings have decreased in recent years, but are so important for assessment and management that estimates continue to be made annually.

Abstract According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports, the maritime sector was responsible for around 2% of global energy-related Carbon Dioxide (CO2eq) emissions in 2020 (i.e., 714 Mton). Currently, Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) is used for supplying main and auxiliary Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) on board ships, therefore it is responsible for local and global pollution. As matter of fact, HFO is contaminated with several different compounds including aromatics, sulfur, and nitrogen, making emission upon combustion more polluting compared to other fuel oils. In order to reduce pollution in maritime sector, the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) has prohibited ships using of HFO in ports. In this purpose, new solutions involving cleaner fuels as well as new propulsion technologies are needed. This paper is aimed to evaluate the environmental advantages that can be reached by replacing the HFO with low emission fuels and alternative power technologies. In particular, three cases have been investigated: i) ICEs fed by diesel, ii) Fuel Cell Systems fed by “Yellow” hydrogen, iii) Fuel Cell Systems fed by “Green” hydrogen. The analysis has been carried out by applying the Well-to-Waves (WTW) method for estimating and comparing the avoided CO2eq and NOx emissions. Moreover, the economic feasibility has been carried out by estimating the investment and operating costs.

Language is the primary medium of communication and expression of thoughts and ideas. In India, there are two official languages- Hindi and English. English has been occupying a dominant position since independence. There have been serious attempts to integrate English language in the school curriculum since 1980s. In the schools of Andhra Pradesh, English is taught either as a first language or second language. The present study intends to find the status of teaching English language in the secondary schools of Visakhapatnam District (Andhra Pradesh) where the schools with three different boards, ICSE, CBSE and Secondary Schools are chosen. The sample consisted of 50 teachers and 50 students from a total of 25 schools. A survey method and observation inventory was used for collection of data. The conclusion is that English language teachers need to abreast themselves with the latest developments in the context of language teaching. The co-operation from the school, teachers, parents and students yield fruitful results in improving the status of English language teaching.

Anglerfish discard estimates and patterns in Spanish Northeast Atlantic trawl fisheries. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 1350–1361. Estimates of Spanish bottom trawl discards of anglerfish Lophius budegassa and Lophiuspiscatorius in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean are presented. Both species are commercially valuable in ICES Subareas VI and VII, and Divisions VIIIc and IXa. Information was obtained from observers on board during discard-monitoring programmes. Raising by effort, rather than by landings and target species, was used to determine the total annual discards by weight and number, the discard percentage, and the discard length distribution by stock throughout the dataseries. By weight and number, discards varied interannually, ranging from 4 to 600 t (∼28 000–7 000 000 fish) in northern stocks of anglerfish, and from 1 to 100 t (∼20 000–400 000 fish) in southern stocks. The discard percentage for both species and northern and southern stocks therefore ranged between 2 and 76% by number. Length distributions of the discarded anglerfish show that most were juveniles, although the pattern differed in years with high or with low rates of discarding. The number of juveniles caught apparently increased in most areas after 2000. Correlations between the quantities discarded and recruitment indices from French and Irish trawl surveys were found for northern stocks and with Spanish trawl survey indices for southern stocks.

The frequency and quantity of Alaskan groundfish catcher-vessel landings made with and without an observer. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1757–1763. The North Pacific Groundfish Observer Programme (NPGOP) is one of the largest on-board fishery-monitoring programmes in the world, and the data are used extensively for both in- and post-season management of fisheries. Within certain limits, Alaskan fishers determine when and where to carry observers. There may be an incentive to fish differently during observed trips because (i) observed trips carry higher costs than unobserved trips, and (ii) bycatch quanta for quota deduction are estimated by applying bycatch rates from observed trips to retained catches on unobserved trips. Such differences may be manifest through the skewed deployment of observers among fisheries, i.e. a deployment effect, and through unrepresentative activities by fishers when an observer is on board, i.e. an observer effect. Despite long-standing concerns expressed over the NPGOP's 40-year history, evidence of deployment and observer effects have been based largely on anecdotal information. In 2008, database changes allowed a comparison of industry landing reports for trips with and without an observer. A deployment effect was evidenced by significant deviations from the expected landing ratios between observed and unobserved trips, and linear mixed-effect models revealed differences in the landed weight and evidence for an observer effect within two of five fisheries examined.

In each area, length differed significantly with depth (p < 0.001), there was an increase in modal size with increasing depth down to 450 m, and large fish dominated hauls in deeper water. The sex ratio of all data combined was 0.88 females:1 male, but it varied by area, depth, and season, with males greatly outnumbering females in deep water west of Scotland during the first quarter of the year. The proportion at length that were female differed significantly with depth, and the highest proportions of mature fish were in deep water at Rockall and west of Scotland. L50% maturities, for all data combined, were 102.4 cm for females and 58.3 cm for males.

Full textAbstract:
Background: A dental practitioner must comply with the Dental Board of Australia’s guidelines on infection control. In this project, we developed a risk-based criteria framework to assess a practitioner’s infection prevention and control (IPC) systems and processes. This project allowed for the provision of the highest standard of infection control continuing education and advice relevant to the needs of members of the Australian Dental Association (NSW Branch). Methods: A review of 1,050 continuing professional development (CPD) IPC course evaluation forms was conducted to determine the key IPC areas that participants have the most difficulty with. All core IPC documents that practitioners are expected to understand and comply with were determined and any regulator- and profession-led compliance checklists were collated. These data were consolidated to generate a risk-based criteria framework that was then applied to 99 private, office-based, dental practices to determine IPC compliance. Results: After the review of 99 dental practices, the total aggregate compliance score was 78%, and the 15 key IPC areas were ranked from highest to lowest. These data assisted with the development of a full-day IPC course focusing on the top 5 risks in each category. The five areas of opportunity identified were Hand Hygiene (52%), Surgical Procedures and Aseptic Technique (59%), Documentation, Policy and Knowledge (61%), Sharps (72%), Steam Sterilisers (72%). Conclusions: This project identified key IPC risks for office-based dental practices from the capture of performance-based data. This data formed a targeted education framework that prioritized areas of opportunity to improve IPC standards in Australian dental practices.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

OBJECTIVETo identify Choosing Wisely items for the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation.METHODSThe Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) elicited potential items from a hospital epidemiology listserv, SHEA committee members, and a SHEA–Infectious Diseases Society of America compendium with SHEA Research Network members ranking items by Delphi method voting. The SHEA Guidelines Committee reviewed the top 10 items for appropriateness for Choosing Wisely. Five final recommendations were approved via individual member vote by committees and the SHEA Board.RESULTSNinety-six items were proposed by 87 listserv members and 99 SHEA committee members. Top 40 items were ranked by 24 committee members and 64 of 226 SHEA Research Network members. The 5 final recommendations follow: 1. Don’t continue antibiotics beyond 72 hours in hospitalized patients unless patient has clear evidence of infection. 2. Avoid invasive devices (including central venous catheters, endotracheal tubes, and urinary catheters)and, if required, use no longer than necessary. They pose a major risk for infections. 3. Don’t perform urinalysis, urine culture, blood culture, or Clostridium difficile testing unless patients have signs or symptoms of infection. Tests can be falsely positive leading to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. 4. Do not use antibiotics in patients with recent C. difficile without convincing evidence of need. Antibiotics pose a high risk of C. difficile recurrence. 5. Don’t continue surgical prophylactic antibiotics after the patient has left the operating room.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Infections caused by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli (MDR GNB) are a therapeutic challenge to clinicians. Combination antimicrobial therapy with empirically selected antibiotics is often used to treat these infections. This approach is ill advised because the antibiotics selected may not be optimal because of different killing activity. We aimed to determine the in vitro efficacy of antibiotic combinations devoid of carbapenems to explore potential synergy between antibiotics of different chemical classes. Methods: Prospective, experimental descriptive study of 85 MDR GNB isolated from clinical samples. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ceftazidime, amikacin, imipenem, and ciprofloxacin were determined by broth microdilution. The in-vitro effects of CAZ–AMK, CAZ–CIPRO, IMP–AMK and IMP–CIPRO combinations were studied by checker-board assay. Results: ESBL, AmpC, and MBL production was observed among 62.35%, 27.05%, and 44.70% of the MDR GNB, respectively. Moreover, 27.05% coproduced multiple β-lactamases. The MIC90 ranges were 16 to ≥1028 μg/mL for CAZ; 0.25 to ≥256 μg/mL for Amk, 0.25 to 12 μg/mL for CIPRO; and 0.125 to 512 μg/mL for IMP. CAZ–AMK and IMP–AMK combinations showed synergistic effects in >85% of MDR-GNB, with a fractional inhibitory concentration index ≤0.5. Higher rates of indifference and antagonism were observed with combinations including fluroquinolones. Conclusions: The in vitro antimicrobial activity of antibiotic combinations having third- or fourth-generation cephalosporin with aminoglycosides was comparable to that of imipenem alone or in combination therapy. Combinations devoid of carbapenems should be advocated to prolong the clinical usefulness of this antibiotic groupFunding: NoneDisclosures: None

The “Right to Education Act 2009” accommodates no confinement of any understudy till Class VIII. Be that as it may, there has been much civil argument on this condition, with surmounting weight for renouncement of the No-Detention Policy and Continuous and Comprehensive Learning. In any case, “No confinement” does not signify “no evaluation”. CCE is the assessment technique under NDP, where evaluation is for learning” and not mere passing or failing. The present study is to assess the effect of No Detention Policy on schools under four major boards in West Bengal named, State Govt. School Board, State Govt. Madrasah Board, CBSE Board and ICSE Board. To perform the same, three unique sorts of Schedules to be specific as Schedule –T, Schedule –P and Schedule –S have been set up for instructors, Parents and Students respectively to assess the effect of NDP by the relative investigation of these three schedules. After near study it is found that ICSE board is slightest affected and WBMB are exceedingly affected by this policy, rest board is in the middle of these two boards. The order in which the schools are influenced are as following ICSE board, CBSE board, WBSEB & [In ascending order]

India is multi-cultural, multi-religious, multilingual country. Cultural values, customs and traditions make India unique amongst the nations of the world. It is vital to have awareness about various cultures. The world is facing numerous problems such as dissension and intolerance, destruction of the natural environment, wars and poverty, the role of culture particularly in education, cannot be over emphasized. It is now widely recognized that the integration of cultural heritage with the curriculum will make the young aware of the multicultural and pluralistic perspectives. The main purpose of the investigation was to study and compare the level of multi-culturalism awareness of secondary school students of three education boards. The sample comprised of secondary schools. Stratified random sampling technique was used for the selection of standard VIII students from each school. Total sample of students and teachers were 600 from all three educational boards – SSC, CBSE & ICSE. Multi- Culturalism Awareness Test for students was prepared by the researcher.The findings of the study showed that (a) Majority of the students (about three-fourth) belonging to all the three education boards, viz., SSC, CBSE and ICSE, demonstrates a moderate level of Multi-Culturalism awareness. (b)Majority of the teachers (about four-fifth) belonging to all the three education boards, viz., SSC, CBSE and ICSE, demonstrates a moderate level of Multi-Culturalism Awareness .The Multi- Culturalism Awareness Test mean score of students of the ICSE board was the highest followed by CBSE board and SSC board in that order. The findings implied that curriculum of the school board influenced Multi-Culturalism Awareness of students and hence schools affiliated to the SSC board need to modify their curriculum in order to enhance the Multi- Culturalism Awareness of students for a more peaceful society.

Full textAbstract:
Emotional maturity and adjustment play a crucial role in students' academic success and overall well-being. Differences in educational curricula, gender, and geographical background may influence these psychological attributes. The Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) and Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) follow distinct pedagogical approaches, which could shape students' emotional and social adaptation in different ways. However, limited research has explored how school board affiliation, gender, and urban-rural background collectively impact these aspects of student development. This study aims to compare emotional maturity and adjustment levels among students from ICSE and CBSE schools while examining the influence of gender and geographical location. The research seeks to provide insights for educators and policymakers on the psychological well-being of students across different learning environments. A quantitative comparative research design was employed, utilizing standardized measures to assess emotional maturity and adjustment among a stratified random sample of students from both ICSE and CBSE schools. The study included participants from both urban and rural backgrounds and accounted for gender-based variations. Statistical techniques such as independent t-tests, ANOVA, and correlation analysis were applied to identify significant differences and patterns. The findings indicate notable differences in emotional maturity and adjustment between ICSE and CBSE students. Female students exhibited better adjustment skills than male students, while urban students demonstrated higher emotional maturity and adaptability compared to their rural counterparts. These results highlight the impact of curriculum structure and environmental factors on students’ psychological well-being. This study emphasizes the role of educational boards, gender, and geographical factors in shaping students’ emotional and social development. The insights gained can help in designing targeted psychological and educational interventions to enhance student well-being across diverse learning contexts.
