Abstract Considering the increased prevalence of influenza infections in the cold season and the pandemic evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome-CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the medical staffs are facing potential viral co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. Both viruses belong to the category of ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses, having common structural features, causing a similar immune response, with a related mode of transmission and with both respiratory and general symptoms. SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses cause contagious infections and the protective measures against them are the same: wearing masks in crowded spaces, proper hand hygiene and avoiding crowded places. Co-infections with influenza A and B viruses and SARS-CoV-2 virus involve additional precautions regarding the therapeutic and evolution approach. Studies show that patients who have been vaccinated against influenza have developed milder forms of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. In elderly patients, increased influenza vaccination coverage has shown to be associated with a decrease in mortality rate and also reduced the heavy impact of double infection. The Influenza vaccine can trigger early immune mechanisms in order to facilitate early detection of SARS-CoV-2 as well as its clearance. Influenza vaccination should now be seen, more than ever, as a strategy to combat the growing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, especially in vulnerable populations (elderly and people with associated comorbidities).

We applied a “temporal decomposition” method, which decomposed a single brain functional network into several “modes”; each of them dominated a short temporal period, on a continuous, “state-” related, “finger-force feedback” functional magnetic resonance imaging experiment. With the hypothesis that attention and internal/external information processing interaction could be manipulated by different (real and sham) feedback conditions, we investigated functional network dynamics of the “default mode,” “executive control,” and sensorimotor networks. They were decomposed into several modes. During real feedback, the occurrence of “default mode-executive control competition-related” mode was higher than that during sham feedback (P=0.0003); the “default mode-visual facilitation-related” mode more frequently appeared during sham than real feedback (P=0.0004). However, the dynamics of the sensorimotor network did not change significantly between two conditions (P>0.05). Our results indicated that the visual-guided motor feedback involves higher cognitive functional networks rather than primary motor network. The dynamics monitoring of inner and outside environment and multisensory integration could be the mechanisms. This study is an extension of our previous region-specific and static-styled study of our brain functional architecture.

The study describes differences between two kinds of oral production, told and dictated stories, by kindergarten children who vary in emergent reading ability. Two replications of told, dictated, and handwritten story sets were elicited from 24 kindergarten children who were not being instructed in reading and writing. Re-reading attempts were collected and used to derive Judgments of Emergent Reading Abilities for Dictated and Handwritten Stories. The Judgments and scores from a traditional readiness test were significantly correlated. Results from examination of story characteristics indicated that children's oral productions signalled differences between told and dictated stories; that children adapted told stories toward the related language mode of conversation and adapted dictated stories toward the related mode of handwritten composition; and that these adaptations were related to degree of reading-related abilities for children at extremes of the distribution.

The addition of cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (c-AMP) at a final concentration of 3 mM to nutrient broth significantly decreased the lethal activity of crude preparations of colicins A-CA31, K-K235, E2-CA42, and C-CA57 upon three different sensitive Escherichia coli strains. A protective effect of c-AMP on cell viability could also be shown in mixed cultures of the colicinogenic and the sensitive strains. Furthermore, the addition of c-AMP significantly reversed, in the sensitive E. coli ROW strain, the inhibition of triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) reduction caused by the bacteriocins. However, the activities of colicin E3-CA38 on cell viability and reduction of TTC were not overcome markedly by exogenously added c-AMP. None of seven other cyclic nucleotides tested appeared to duplicate the protective effect of c-AMP against colicin A-CA31. The results indicate that for colicins K-K235, A-CA31, C-CA57, and E2-CA42 but not for colicin E3-CA38, there may be similar steps in the translocation of effects to sensitive targets and (or) a closely related mode of action reversible by c-AMP.

In this research, ZnO nanorods were fabricated on the polymer substrate using a hydrothermal process. The grown nanorods were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and Raman measurements. ZnO nanorod arrays have been fabricated with diameter of 30-50 nm, and highly c-axis oriented with hexagonal wurtzite structure and perpendicular to the substrate with high crystalline quality. Room temperature Raman measurements exhibit high intensity E2 high mode and low intensity defect related mode.

This essay offers an evisceration of my troubled links to ‘cattle country’, seeking a truth-telling that responds to my mother’s romancing. I trace my family’s part in the cattle industry imposed upon Jiman Country and Wulli Wulli Country, drawing on stories populated with the hooves of cattle, the flight of emus, and the stare of a goanna. I find myself in uncomfortable territory, complicit in the actions of my settler relatives in this region of Central Queensland, but to not examine this informal archive of possession feels like a lie. The stories that shape me begin with the tales of Mum’s foster-mother, my great-aunt, about the dreadful murderous harms done during the early settler occupation of Jiman Country. My family’s later deployment of this stolen land is a related act of war. I see a related mode of violence in tales of terrified cattle in nearby Wulli Wulli Country, Mum’s girl-self perched on the back of a weary horse, whip in her hand. In all this, there is me, telling tales, like settler writers before me, caught in the writing act, exposed as a fence, dealing in stolen goods, part of the ongoing posts of making up and wires of making do. Nonetheless, I take up my extractive blade, sharpened by a field trip to this region, and carve into my family history, with its legacy of generational violence to humans, cows, waterways, and earth, exposing three extractions: the near-genocidal murders of the Jiman and Wulli Wulli people; the ongoing slaughter of cattle; and finally, there, on the kill floor, entrails exposed, the stories of my mother, laid bare for this critical reading.
