The Effect Of High-Intensity Interval Training On Visceral Adipose Tissue In Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review, Ivan D. Delgado, Julio C. Delgado, Ryan D. Burns

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 18(5): 1321-1333, 2025. https://doi.org/10.70252/YEUF2363 Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a significant contributor to insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (T2D). The effectiveness of time-efficient high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in reducing VAT has not been reviewed. A systematic search conducted on PubMed, Embase, and SPORTDiscus up to April 2025 for randomized controlled trials that compared HIIT with non-exercise control and quantified VAT using imaging identified five trials (n = 138) that met inclusion criteria. Risk of bias was assessed using a nine-item modified PEDro scale. Four trials reported significant reductions in VAT after 8-12 weeks of …

Effectively Bridging Computer Science And I-O Psychology To Solve Practical Problems, Richard Landers

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

One of the most pressing challenges facing I-O psychology today is the need to bridge the disciplinary barrier between our field and computer science. This barrier runs deep, creating challenges in both research and practice resulting from differences in our core philosophies of science. Yet if we fail to engage across this boundary, it will be the technical values and priorities of computer science, and not the human-centered values of psychology, that will define the future of work. In this talk, we will explore the philosophical and practice tensions that shape the IO-technologist interface and propose strategies for effective interdisciplinary …

Sglt2 Inhibitors For Non-Diabetic Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Literature Review, Mostafa Mohrag

University of Bisha Journal for Basic and Applied Sciences

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) pertains a sizeable burden on healthcare systems worldwide and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Recently, there has been compelling evidence associating SGLT2i usage with improved renal function and delayed progression in underlying CKD. Objective: To assess the efficacy of SGLT2i on the development of CKD in non-diabetic patients, with special attention to their efficacy, side effects, and “hard” renal outcomes such as progression to renal replacement therapy and worsening eGFR. Methodology: A broad search in the available medical databases (e.g MEDLINE, SCOPUS) was undertaken. Results: The available literature points strongly towards an overall …

Infrared Salient Object Detection And Classification With Deep Learning, Hamdan Alshehri, Haitham Assiri, Salahaldeen Duraibi, Yahya Alqahtani

University of Bisha Journal for Basic and Applied Sciences

As the complexity of large-scale infrared video images increases, traditional approaches for detecting conspicuous objects in these images continue to fail. An improved method for detecting prominent objects in infrared photos using deep learning has been created. The major parts of this model include the spatial feature extractor, the temporal feature extractor, the residual connection blocks, and the pixel-level classifier. The spatial feature extraction module was first used to collect the relevant spatial data. Once consistent spatial and temporal data was collected, the temporal feature extraction module was applied. The salient object recognition outcome was produced by jointly feeding the …

The Production Of Word-Initial Consonant Clusters In A Saudi Southern Dialect (Ssd): Evidence From Al-Baha Region, Alhassan Abdullah Jarullah Alzahrani

UB Journal for Humanities

This study investigates how speakers of the Al-Baha variety of the Saudi Southern Dialect (SSD)—a regional Arabic variety that prohibits word-initial consonant clusters—produce English onset clusters. While Arabic learners of English are known to simplify clusters through vowel epenthesis, little is known about how dialect, sonority, and proficiency shape these strategies. To address this gap, 30 SSD-speaking learners of English were recorded producing target words containing both /sC/ clusters (which violate the Sonority Sequencing Principle, SSP) and SSP-conforming clusters. Acoustic analysis with Praat showed that vowel epenthesis was the primary repair strategy, though its placement differed: /sC/ clusters were typically …

Predicting The Next Trending Hussaini Poems: A Machine Learning Approach Based On Textual And Engagement Features, Elaf Adel Abbas

AUIQ Technical Engineering Science

Hussaini’s poem videos have garnered substantial viewership on digital platforms; nevertheless, the determinants of why just a select number achieve “trending” status remain inadequately comprehended. This study presents a machine learning approach aimed at forecasting the trending potential of Hussaini poetry videos through the integration of text- and interaction-based variables. A dataset including 270 YouTube videos was generated, encompassing each video’s title and audience engagement parameters, including views, likes, comments, duration, and upload time. Textual attributes were converted using TF-IDF representations, whereas numerical attributes were standardized and amalgamated via a unified ColumnTransformer pipeline. Five machine learning classifiers—Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, …

Data Property & Digital Sales, Christina Mulligan

Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

Copyright law fails utterly to develop a coherent concept of "digital sales." Printed books and vinyl records are easily sold and resold, with the copyright holder’s permission or under the first sale doctrine. But a creator of digital copyrighted works who wants to analogously “sell” their work to buyers faces what borders on an absurdity; “digital sales” of copyrighted works are incoherent at worst and useless at best. As a result, sophisticated copyright owners almost never sell their works and only license purchasers to make particular uses of digital works, such as “personal uses” or reproducing the work on a …

Multiplexed Integrin Detection And Cancer Cell Classification Using Multicolor Gap-Enhanced Gold Nanorods And Machine Learning Algorithm, Suprava Shah, Reed Youngerman, Alberto Luis Rodriguez-Nieves, Mitchell Lee Taylor, William Rodney Bantom, David Thompson, Jingyi Chen, Yongmei Wang, Xiaohua Huang

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Publications and Presentations

Integrins, cell-surface adhesion receptors involved in tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis, serve as crucial biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and therapeutic targeting. Multiplexed detection of integrins and cancer cell classification at the single-cell level allows for comprehensive profiling, facilitating precise identification and categorization of tumor cells that are heterogeneous in integrin expression and cell subtype. In this study, we developed a five-plex detection platform and demonstrated integrin profile for cancer cell classification leveraging surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with gap-enhanced gold nanorods (GENRs) in conjunction with advanced computational analysis. Specifically, we synthesized GENRs bearing five distinct Raman nanotags, each producing a unique …

Untargeted Metabolomics Reveals Organ-Specific And Extraction-Dependent Metabolite Profiles In Endemic Tajik Species Ferula Violacea Korovin, Sylhiya Mavlonazarova, Kenneth Acosta, Rinat Abzalimov, Saidbeg Satorov, Vyacheslav Dushenkov

Publications and Research

Ferula violacea Korovin, an endemic Tajikistani plant with purported medicinal properties, remains understudied. This study employs untargeted metabolomics to characterize the metabolite profiles of ethanol extracts and juices from F. violacea roots and seeds. In total, 540 distinct metabolites are putatively identified, 419 of which are previously unreported in the Ferula genus, representing a substantial expansion of its known chemical diversity. The most abundant metabolites are terpenoids, amino acid derivatives, and alkaloids. A particularly abundant group of daucane sesquiterpenoids, sharing a common (6-methyl-azulen-4-yl) cyclohexanecarboxylate substructure, is identified, including known metabolites such as ferutidin and ferutinin. Comparative analysis reveals organ-specific metabolic …

Native Bee Assemblages In Prescribed Fire-Managed Prairies: A Case Study From Arkansas, United States, Coleman Z. Little, Neelendra K. Joshi

Entomology and Plant Pathology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Native bee communities in Arkansas remain poorly documented, particularly within fire-managed prairie ecosystems that provide critical habitat for pollinators. This study surveyed bee assemblages at two native prairie remnants in the Arkansas River Valley, one large (Cherokee Prairie Natural Area, CPNA) and one small urban fragment (Jewel Moore Nature Reserve, JMNR), both managed using prescribed fire. Using pan trapping, we recorded 599 individuals representing 96 species across 25 genera, including 49% singletons. Despite differences in size and landscape context, both prairies supported similarly rich bee communities per sample day, with JMNR and CPNA averaging 16.1 and 13.75 species, respectively. However, …
