This document discusses vitamin D, including its types, metabolism, absorption, storage, functions, requirements, sources, deficiency, and toxicity. The two major forms are vitamins D2 and D3. Vitamin D is absorbed in the small intestine and transported to the liver and kidney where it is converted to its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. This active form regulates calcium and phosphorus absorption in the intestine and their deposition in bone. Requirements vary by species but adequate sunlight can meet animal requirements. Deficiency causes rickets in young animals due to poor bone mineralization.
Vitamin D is a steroid that is present in animals, plants and yeast. It is insoluble in water but soluble in fat and organic solutions. Vitamin D is sensitive to oxygen, light and iodine. It is considered a prohormone because it is converted to the active form 1,25-dihydroxycholesterol. Vitamin D functions to regulate calcium and phosphorus metabolism by promoting their absorption in the intestines and mobilization from bones. It is necessary for bone development and growth. A deficiency of vitamin D can lead to rickets in children, causing bowed legs and bone fractures, and osteomalacia in adults characterized by poor bone mineralization. Toxicity can result from long-
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is important for intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate. It can be synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight or obtained from dietary sources. The liver and kidneys work to activate vitamin D into its functional form. Deficiency can lead to rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, while toxicity in excess causes hypercalcemia and calcification of soft tissues.
Vitamin D is important for human health and deficiency can lead to diseases like rickets. It is obtained through sun exposure, diet, and supplements. The document discusses vitamin D's roles in bone health, cancer prevention, cardiovascular, immune function, and other diseases. It provides recommendations for intake amounts and lists food sources of vitamin D like fatty fish, eggs, and fortified foods. Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent globally and putting populations at risk for various chronic conditions.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is obtained through sunlight exposure and dietary sources like fatty fish and fortified foods. It plays an important role in bone and immune health by aiding in calcium absorption and bone mineralization. Testing for vitamin D levels has increased in recent years due to research linking vitamin D deficiency to diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and depression. While vitamin D shows promise for many health benefits, more research is still needed to fully understand its therapeutic potential.
This document discusses vitamin D, including what it is, how the body processes and activates it, its functions, sources, and requirements. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight and found in some foods. It is activated through two hydroxylation steps in the liver and kidneys. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and bone mineralization and supports immune function. While sunlight is the major source, many factors impact skin synthesis, so dietary sources and supplements are also important to meet daily requirements.
Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent around the world, including in India where studies show 76-100% of populations are deficient or insufficient. Multiple factors contribute to low vitamin D levels, including limited sun exposure, skin pigmentation, traditional clothing, air pollution, and dietary habits. While sunlight exposure is important for vitamin D synthesis, too little or too much can be problematic. Maintaining optimal vitamin D levels of 30-50 ng/ml through balanced sun exposure and dietary sources is important for overall health.

Vitamin D Deficiency, by Dr. Mihir Adhikari Mihir Adhikari
Vitamin D deficiency can cause rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. It is caused by lack of vitamin D from diet and sun exposure. The body synthesizes the inactive form cholecalciferol from cholesterol in skin upon sun exposure and the active form calcitriol is produced in the kidneys. Vitamin D plays a key role in calcium absorption and bone mineralization. Deficiency is highly prevalent in India due to low dietary intake and sun exposure. It is associated with many systemic disorders including musculoskeletal, autoimmune, cardiovascular and infectious diseases.
This document discusses vitamin D deficiency in India. It provides the following key points:
1. More than 80% of adults in India do not get enough vitamin D, despite India's sunny climate, due to factors like skin pigmentation and low dietary intake.
2. The most common disorders caused by vitamin D deficiency in India are osteomalacia and rickets, which are bone diseases characterized by softening of the bones.
3. Good food sources of vitamin D include cod liver oil, fatty fish like salmon and tuna, and fortified foods like milk, cereal and orange juice. However, dietary intake of vitamin D is still low for most Indians.
This document discusses vitamin D, including its sources, biochemical effects, and related diseases. It summarizes that vitamin D aids in calcium and phosphorus absorption in the intestine and bone mineralization. Deficiencies can cause rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, resulting from insufficient mineralization of bones. Toxicity from oversupplementation can lead to excessive calcification.

The document discusses several B vitamins, including their sources and roles. It covers vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, and B12. The B vitamins are water soluble, act as coenzymes in metabolism, and are involved in processes like carbohydrate breakdown and red blood cell formation. Common sources include meat, eggs, dairy, grains and leafy greens. Deficiencies can result in conditions such as beriberi, pellagra, and megaloblastic anemia.
Vitamin D deficiency can result from inadequate sunlight exposure, low dietary intake, or impairments in vitamin D metabolism. It causes rickets in children as their bones fail to properly mineralize, while in adults it causes osteomalacia marked by bone pain and fractures. Risk factors include liver or digestive diseases, certain drugs, and genetic mutations impacting vitamin D metabolism. Osteoporosis involves low bone density and increased fracture risk related to aging and declining estrogen levels along with impaired vitamin D function.
Vitamin K exists in three forms - vitamin K1, K2, and K3. It functions as a coenzyme in the liver to enable the carboxylation of blood clotting factors and proteins involved in bone mineralization. A daily recommended intake of 70-140 μg is needed to support blood coagulation and bone health, with deficiency leading to increased bleeding risks.

Waste water treatment removes contaminants from household and industrial wastewater through a multi-step municipal treatment process including primary, secondary, and advanced treatments before final disposal. Inadequate treatment increases health risks and endangers ecosystems by spreading disease, killing aquatic life, and accumulating toxins, while proper treatment reduces risks, generates electricity, and supports agriculture. Common disposal methods include natural processes like dilution and land treatment, or artificial ones like surface water discharge or reuse.
Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. They can form when large stars collapse at the end of their life cycles, compressing their mass into a tiny space. Black holes warp spacetime so severely that they can pull objects inward and may potentially serve as portals to other universes or allow for time travel according to some theories. Scientists study black holes by observing the effects of their strong gravitational forces, such as emitting x-rays and warping of light.
Soil microbiology is the study of microorganisms that exist in soil, including bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Nitrobacter, fungi such as Pythium and Verticillium, algae, actinomycetes, nematodes, protozoa, and amoebas. Soil microbes play important roles like breaking down organic matter, fixing nitrogen, recycling nutrients, promoting plant growth, and controlling pests and diseases, though some can also cause plant diseases, compete with crops, and deplete oxygen from soil.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.
