Statistical Features of Polar Cap North and South Indices in Response to Interplanetary and Terrestrial Conditions: A Revisit by Jong‐Sun Park, Quan Qi Shi, Oleg A. Troshichev, Khan‐Hyuk Kim, Jih‐Hong Shue, Timo Pitkänen, Hui Zhang

“…Analyzing the IMF orientation dependence on the occurrence probabilities of concurrent indices and on the differences between the indices in various sign types for each time coverage reveals that the statistical features in PCN‐PCS pairs obtained in the dawn MLT sector can be largely explained by the effects of the three‐component IMF (related to the polar cap convection patterns) combined with season (related to the hemispheric asymmetry in solar illumination‐induced ionospheric conductance). …”

Dark Galactic Subhalos and the Gaia Snail by Daniel Gilman, Jo Bovy, Neige Frankel, Andrew Benson

“…Perturbations caused by dark subhalos are, on average, orders of magnitude weaker than those caused by luminous satellite galaxies, but the ubiquity of dark halos predicted by cold dark matter makes them a more probable source of strong perturbation to the dynamics of the solar neighborhood. …”

Staging in the treatment of chronic calculous cholecystitis, complicated by choledocholithiasis by Alexander V. Smirnov, Vladimir R. Stankevich, Dmitry V. Sazonov, Artur R. Akhmedianov, Aishe A. Keshvedinova, Nikolay A. Solovyev, Yury V. Ivanov, Robert I. Khabazov

“…In the absence of complications, the applicable options include early (within 3 days) conducting the laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which does not worsen the results, however, it alleviates the necessity of repeated hospitalization and, probably, slightly decreases the risk of complications.…”

Enhanced UV-B photoprotection activity of carotenoids from the novel Arthrobacter sp. strain LAPM80 isolated from King George Island, Antarctica by Beatriz Vivian Paredes Contreras, Alane Beatriz Vermelho, Livia Casanova, Claudia de Alencar Santos Lage, Caren Leite Spindola Vilela, Veronica da Silva Cardoso, Luis William Pacheco Arge, Janine Simas Cardoso-Rurr, Sulamita Santos Correa, Felipe Raposo Passos De Mansoldo, Maria Cristina Pinheiro Pereira Reis-Mansur, Eikon Alves da Silva, Júnia Schultz, Alexandre Soares Rosado

“…Chemical characterization of the carotenoid extract identified major components as C50 carotenoids, probably decaprenoxanthin and/or sarcinaxanthin. Scanning electron microscopy revealed minimal surface changes in bacteria during carotenoid-rich phase after UV-B irradiation exposure.These findings highlight the likely ability of LAPM80 strain's C50 carotenoids to improve UV-B iiradiation resistance, indicating their potential for developing natural photoprotective compounds for the dermo-cosmetic industry.…”

Impact of socio-demographic structure of the deaf people communities in prevalence of hereditary hearing loss by O. L. Posukh, M. S. Bady-Khoo, M. V. Zytsar, V. Yu. Mikhalskaia, S. A. Lashin, N. A. Barashkov, G. P. Romanov

“…The prevalence of some forms of genetic deafness varies in different populations and could be determined, as for many other genetic diseases, by the ethnic composition of a population, isolation, founder and «bottleneck» effects, the proportion of consanguineous marriages, and probable heterozygote advantage. It is assumed that high prevalence of hearing loss due to mutations in the GJB2 (Cx26) gene was also influenced by some social factors: a long-standing tradition of assortative marriages between deaf people, combined with growth of their social adaptation and genetic fitness. …”
