The association of sleep duration with the risk of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Koh, Jin Hean, Yeo, Brian Sheng Yep, Tan, Timothy Wei En, See, Mark Yong Siang, Ng, Adele Chin Wei, Loh, Shaun Ray Han, Gooley, Joshua, Tan, Chieh Suai, Toh, Song Tar

“…Compared with a reference range of 7 to 8 hours of sleep, short sleep durations of ≤4 hours (RR 1.41, 95% CI: 1.16 to 1.71, P < 0.01), ≤5 hours (RR 1.46, 95% CI: 1.22 to 1.76, P < 0.01), ≤6 hours (RR 1.18, 95% CI: 1.09 to 1.29, P < 0.01), and ≤7 hours (RR 1.19, 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.28, P < 0.01) were significantly associated with an increased risk of incident chronic kidney disease. …”

Genomic insights into Vibrio cholerae O1 responsible for cholera epidemics in Tanzania between 1993 and 2017 by Hounmanou, Yaovi Mahuton Gildas, Leekitcharoenphon, Pimlapas, Kudirkiene, Egle, Mdegela, Robinson H., Hendriksen, Rene S., Olsen, John Elmerdahl, Dalsgaard, Anders

“…The T5 sub-lineage (ctxB3) dominated outbreaks until 1997, followed by the T10 atypical El Tor (ctxB1) up to 2015, which were replaced by the T13 atypical El Tor of the current third wave (ctxB7) causing most cholera outbreaks until 2017 with T13 being phylogenetically related to strains from East African countries, Yemen and Lake Victoria. …”

Protein profile in cells exposed to non-thermal radiofrequency-field. by Ng, Shi Qi.

“…Combined with the results obtained by another student conducting a similar experiment at different exposure duration58, it is found that only Histone H2A and Histone H4 responded to the radiation after 10 minutes, 40 minutes, 2 hours and 5 hours exposure. The regulation of histone observed may be due to RF-induced chromosomal instability, RF-induced double strand DNA breakage and experimental limitations. …”

Identification of a Gene Signature That Predicts Dependence upon YAP/TAZ-TEAD by Kanai, Ryan, Norton, Emily, Stern, Patrick, Hynes, Richard O., Lamar, John M.

“…Importantly, this was not limited to melanoma because this signature was also predictive when tested on a panel of over 1000 cancer cell lines representing numerous distinct cancer types. Our results suggest that YAP/TAZ gene signatures like ours may be effective tools to predict tumor cell dependence upon YAP/TAZ-TEAD, and thus potentially provide a means to identify patients likely to benefit from TEAD inhibitors.…”

Turning back time: an exploration of nostalgia in Shinto Japan through studio Ghibli films by Lim, Jia Hui

“…This is due to the changes and defamiliarization of the environment in both films, from destruction caused by war shown in Grave, and the move to a new town in Totoro. This essay aims to compare the ways both films depict that process of cultural adaptation and learning by examining the presence of Japanese cultural beliefs that originated from the Shinto religion in both films. …”

A study of atmospheric gradient for the analysis of weather events and prediction of rainfall in the tropical region by Naha Biswas, Anik

“…By virtue of lessening the false alarm with a higher true detection rate, the atmospheric residual has been introduced with the tropospheric gradient in the rainfall forecasting algorithm. Our results are combined to derive a predictive algorithm that aids the forecast of the rain event within a 6-hour window with more than 85% true detection and a satisfactory false alarm rate of 35%. …”
