Malaria Preventive Practices among People Residing in Different Malaria-Endemic Settings in a Township of Myanmar: A Mixed-Methods Study

Different villages in a township or an area exhibit different malaria endemicities. This study aimed to investigate malaria preventive practices among people residing in different villages with stratified malaria endemicity in a township in Myanmar. Quantitative data were collected using standardized questionnaires by conducting face-to-face interviews, and qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews using a guideline. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression models, whereas thematic analysis was used to visualize qualitative data. A total of 360 respondents with similar characteristics participated in the quantitative study. Knowledge regarding malaria and the availability of health information exhibited insignificant differences. Malaria preventive practices were considerably poor among people from moderate- and high-endemic villages (p < 0.05). Adult male farmers or gold miners with low annual family incomes reported poor preventive practices in both moderate- and high-endemic groups. People could not practice some malaria preventive measures because of a lack of resources, e.g., a lack of mosquito repellents. To eliminate the disparities of preventive practices in different malaria-endemic settings, heath-awareness-raising activities should be increased, especially in moderate- and high-endemic villages.
Microwave Cylindrical Cavity Resonator Sensor for Detection and Characterization of Contaminants in Lubricating Oil

Accurate monitoring of contaminants, such as wear particles in lubricating oil, is critical for the efficient maintenance of engines. Here, a TE011-mode cylindrical cavity resonator-based sensor system is presented. In the measurement, a glass test tube was used to contain the oil sample under test and placed in the center of the cavity. Particles in oil change the dielectric properties and perturb the resonance parameters, thereby achieving sensing. Sensitivity to both the presence of conductive and nonconductive powders is demonstrated. Linear relationships between the powder weight and the quality factor are established. Hence, the degree of contamination can be better evaluated compared with existing microwave sensors. Powder differentiation can be achieved using the resonance frequency and quality factor. In addition, analytical modeling of the sensing system incorporating field analysis is proposed, and the effective permittivity of the mixture can be determined. The sensor developed is compact, portable, easy to implement, complementary to other approaches for liquid evaluation, and has the potential for high-throughput online measurement.
Lateral Flow Immunoassays for Detecting Viral Infectious Antigens and Antibodies

Abundant immunological assays currently exist for detecting pathogens and identifying infected individuals, making detection of diseases at early stages integral to preventing their spread, together with the consequent emergence of global health crises. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a test characterized by simplicity, low cost, and quick results. Furthermore, LFIA testing does not need well-trained individuals or laboratory settings. Therefore, it has been serving as an attractive tool that has been extensively used during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Here, the LFIA strip’s available formats, reporter systems, components, and preparation are discussed. Moreover, this review provides an overview of the current LFIAs in detecting infectious viral antigens and humoral responses to viral infections.
p-ADIC GEOMETRY

We discuss recent developments in $p$-adic geometry, ranging from foundational results such as the degeneration of the Hodge-to-de Rham spectral sequence for "compact $p$-adic manifolds" over new period maps on moduli spaces of abelian varieties to applications to the local and global Langlands conjectures, and the construction of "universal" $p$-adic cohomology theories. We finish with some speculations on how a theory that combines all primes $p$, including the archimedean prime, might look like.
Taking to the streets: The effects of in-the-field harassment against journalists covering protests

Since 2017, 518 journalists have been attacked while covering protests (U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, 2021) which is one of the most dangerous places to be as a journalist in the United States (Sterne & Peters, 2017). Despite the volatile climate around journalists as they cover increasingly dangerous protests (Luqiu, 2020), there is minimal understanding as to the effect of these events on them (Talabi, et al., 2021). Furthermore, there is a gap in the hostility literature examining harassment that journalists face in the field. Through a survey of U.S. journalists, this study finds that covering protests causes journalists mental and emotional health concerns, which influences how they view their journalistic roles. Furthermore, the effects of positive and negative encounters at protests affected journalists personally, depending on who the perpetrator was (protestor or law enforcement)—influencing everything from PTSD and anxiety to intentions to leave journalism. The paper ultimately underscores the need for news organizations to make sure journalists not only are safe, but also feel safe, when reporting in the field.
STRUCTURE, VARIATION, AND CO-OCCURRENCE OF ARCHAEAL COMMUNITIES ASSOCIATED WITH POLYMERAND ASP-FLOODED PETROLEUM RESERVOIR BLOCKS

The response of archaeal communities to the enhancement of the oil recovery process in the extreme environments of oil reservoirs has rarely been investigated. In this study, archaeal communities in polymer- and alkaline-surfactant-polymer (ASP)-flooded production wells were evaluated via Illumina high-throughput sequencing targeting 16S rRNA genes. The composition of the archaeal community differed significantly among enhanced oil recovery production wells. Methanothermobacter was dominant in the polymer- and ASP-ﬂooded production blocks. Methanoculleus accounted for numerous archaeal communities inhabiting the polymer-ﬂooded blocks but were hardly detected in the ASP-ﬂooded blocks; the trends for Methanolinea were the opposite. Redundancy analysis indicated that the archaeal communities in polymer- and ASP-ﬂooded production blocks were closely related to physical and chemical factors, such as strong alkalinity and high salinity, which together accounted for 75.03% of the total variance. We applied network analysis to the co-occurrence pattern of archaeal communities in oil reservoirs. The archaeal communities in oil reservoirs were non-random, and that the community structure was more stable in the polymer- than in the ASP-flooded production wells. The polymer flooding process led to a more complex archaeal network than that of ASP flooding. Our results indicated that enhanced oil recovery mediates the coexistence of archaeal species in deep oil reservoirs. This study contributes to our understanding of the contemporary coexistence theory in microbial ecosystems in extreme environments. Revealing the inﬂuence of polymer ﬂooding and ASP ﬂooding on community composition and co-occurrence patterns of archaea could facilitate the implementation of MEOR technology in the future.
The next 10 years of behavioural genomic research

Abstract Background The explosion caused by the fusion of quantitative genetics and molecular genetics will transform behavioural genetic research in child and adolescent psychology and psychiatry. Methods Although the fallout has not yet settled, the goal of this paper is to predict the next 10 years of research in what could be called behavioural genomics. Results I focus on three research directions: the genetic architecture of psychopathology, causal modelling of gene‐environment interplay, and the use of DNA as an early warning system. Conclusion Eventually, whole‐genome sequencing will be available for all newborns, which means that behavioural genomics could potentially be applied ubiquitously in research and clinical practice.
Locality and universality in gravitational anomaly cancellation

We obtain necesary and sufficient conditions for gravitational anomaly cancellation. We show that perturbative gravitational anomalies can never be cancelled. In a similar way, in dimensions $n\neq3\operatorname{mod}4$ it is impossible to cancell global anomalies. However, in dimensions $n=3\operatorname{mod}4$ global anomalies can be cancelled. We prove that the unique way to cancel the anomaly is by using a Chern-Simons counterterm. Furthermore, the relationship between the problems of locality and universality is analyzed for gravitational anomalies.
Affective States and Emotional Exhaustion: Mediating Role of Depersonalisation and Personal Accomplishment

The purpose of the study is to analyse the relationship of positive and negative affect with emotional exhaustion through the mediating effect of depersonalisation and personal accomplishment (undertaken as coping resources). It was posited that both depersonalisation and personal accomplishment will have an indirect effect on emotional exhaustion as they differ so profoundly. A sample of 291 from the manufacturing and IT sector participated in the study. To analyse the direct and indirect effects, IBM SPSS 25 and SmartPLS 2.0 were used. The findings reflect that affective states stimulate depersonalisation and personal accomplishment distinctly. Depersonalisation was a significant mediator linking affective states and emotional exhaustion. The binges of positive affect and emotion regulation are elaborated through the Broad and Build theory. Personal accomplishment marginally mediated emotional exhaustion. The results also provide support for questionable sequential measurement of burnout and affective bipolarity. The study empirically tested the developmental pathways between affective states and emotional exhaustion in the human services sector, and highlighted a more nuanced understanding of emotional regulation and dealing with burnout. Practical implications, as well as theoretical concerns, were highlighted.
Determinants of Random Block Hankel Matrices

We consider the moment space $\mathcal{M}^{p}_{2n+1}$ of moments up to the order $2n + 1$ of $p_n\times p_n$ real matrix measures defined on the interval $[0,1]$. The asymptotic properties of the Hankel determinant $\{\log\det (M_{i+j}^{p_n})_{i,j=0,\ldots,\lfloor nt\rfloor}\}_{t\in [0,1]}$ of a uniformly distributed vector $(M_1,\dots ,M_{2n+1})^t\sim\mathcal{U}(\mathcal{M}_{2n+1})$ are studied when the dimension $n$ of the moment space and the size of the matrices $p_n$ converge to infinity. In particular weak convergence of an appropriately centered and standardized version of this process is established. Mod-Gaussian convergence is shown and several large and moderate deviation principles are derived. Our results are based on some new relations between determinants of subblocks of the Jacobi-beta-ensemble,which are of their own interest and generalize Bartlett decomposition-type results for the Jacobi-beta-ensemble from the literature.
Properties of Caratheodory measure hyperbolic universal covers of compact Kahler manifolds

This article explores some properties of universal covers of compact Kahler manifolds, under the assumption of Caratheodory measure hyperbolicity. In particular, by comparing invariant volume forms, an inequality is established between the volume of canonical bundle of a compact Kahler manifolds and the Caratheodory measure of its universal cover (similar result as in [Kikuta 10]). Using similar method, an inequality is established between the restricted volume of canonical bundle of a compact Kahler manifolds and the restricted Caratheodory measure of its covering, solving a conjecture in [Kikuta 13].
Physiological Impact of a Synthetic Elastic Protein in Arterial Diseases Related to Alterations of Elastic Fibers: Effect on the Aorta of Elastin-Haploinsufficient Male and Female Mice

Elastic fibers, made of elastin (90%) and fibrillin-rich microfibrils (10%), are the key extracellular components, which endow the arteries with elasticity. The alteration of elastic fibers leads to cardiovascular dysfunctions, as observed in elastin haploinsufficiency in mice (Eln+/-) or humans (supravalvular aortic stenosis or Williams–Beuren syndrome). In Eln+/+ and Eln+/- mice, we evaluated (arteriography, histology, qPCR, Western blots and cell cultures) the beneficial impact of treatment with a synthetic elastic protein (SEP), mimicking several domains of tropoelastin, the precursor of elastin, including hydrophobic elasticity-related domains and binding sites for elastin receptors. In the aorta or cultured aortic smooth muscle cells from these animals, SEP treatment induced a synthesis of elastin and fibrillin-1, a thickening of the aortic elastic lamellae, a decrease in wall stiffness and/or a strong trend toward a reduction in the elastic lamella disruptions in Eln+/- mice. SEP also modified collagen conformation and transcript expressions, enhanced the aorta constrictive response to phenylephrine in several animal groups, and, in female Eln+/- mice, it restored the normal vasodilatory response to acetylcholine. SEP should now be considered as a biomimetic molecule with an interesting potential for future treatments of elastin-deficient patients with altered arterial structure/function.
Continuous Geo-Social Group Monitoring in Dynamic LBSNs

<italic>Geo-social group</italic> queries, which return a social cohesive user group with a spatial constraint, have receive significant research interests due to their promising applications for group-based activity planning and scheduling in location-based social networks (LBSNs). However, existing studies on geo-social group queries mostly assume the users are stationary whereas in realistic LBSN application scenarios all users may continuously move over time. Thus, in this paper, we investigate the problem of <italic><underline>c</underline>ontinuous <underline>g</underline>eo-<underline>s</underline>ocial <underline>g</underline>roups <underline>m</underline>onitoring</italic> (<italic>CGSGM</italic>) over moving users. A challenge in answering CGSGM queries over moving users is how to efficiently update geo-social groups when users are continuously moving. To address the CGSGM problem, we first propose a baseline algorithm, namely <italic>Baseline-BB</italic>, which recomputes the new geo-social groups from scratch at each time instance by utilizing a branch and bound (BB) strategy. To improve the inefficiency of BB, we explore a new strategy, called common neighbor or neighbor expanding (CNNE), which expands the common neighbors of edges or the neighbors of users in intermediate groups to quickly produce the valid group combinations. Accordingly, another baseline algorithm, namely <italic>Baseline-CNNE</italic>, is proposed. As these baseline algorithms do not maintain intermediate results to facilitate further query processing, we develop an incremental algorithm, called <italic>incremental monitoring algorithm (IMA)</italic>, which maintains the support, common neighbors and the neighbors of current users when exploring possible user groups for further updates and query processing. Since IMA requires many times of truss decomposition when processing mutiple-users updates, we propose an improved incremental algorithm, called <italic>improved incremental monitoring algorithm (IIMA)</italic>, which performs truss decompostion only once. Moreover, we design algorithms for handling the social changes that result in insertion/deletion of some edges in the social network. Owing to the challenge in setting, an appropriate monitoring distance, we further study the top <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$N$</tex-math><alternatives><mml:math><mml:mi>N</mml:mi></mml:math><inline-graphic xlink:href="zhu-ieq1-3218844.gif"/></alternatives></inline-formula> CGSGM problem, which finds top <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$N$</tex-math><alternatives><mml:math><mml:mi>N</mml:mi></mml:math><inline-graphic xlink:href="zhu-ieq2-3218844.gif"/></alternatives></inline-formula> result groups at each time instance. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments using four real datasets to validate our ideas and evaluate the proposed algorithms.
Uniformisation of higher-dimensional minimal
 varieties

After a historical discussion of classical uniformisation results for Riemann surfaces, of problems appearing in higher dimensions, and of uniformisation results for projective manifolds with trivial or ample canonical bundle, we introduce the basic technical concepts and sketch the ideas of the proofs for recent uniformisation theorems for singular varieties obtained by the authors in collaboration with Thomas Peternell.
Bone-sparing effects of tocilizumab in rheumatoid arthritis: a monocentric observational study

Introduction Bone loss is a common feature in several autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Indeed, the high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines seem to enhance bone resorption and to diminish bone formation, thus producing an uncoupling between osteoclast and osteoblast function and favoring the onset of juxtarticular as well as systemic osteoporosis. Many papers underline the high prevalence of osteoporosis in RA, as well as the negative correlation between interleukin 6 (IL-6) serum levels and bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of one-year treatment with tocilizumab (TCZ), the first approved IL-6 receptor inhibitor, in reducing bone loss in RA. Material and methods We enrolled 18 patients fulfilling 2010 ACR and EULAR criteria for RA from our arthritis outpatient clinic, assessing clinical and biochemical parameters during a 12-month period. The patients received TCZ 8 mg/kg i.v. every 4 weeks and underwent dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for the measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) at baseline and at the end of study. Serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR), IL-6, serum CrossLaps, osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor κβ ligand (RANK-L) and dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) were measured at baseline, at 6 months and 1 year. Results No significant difference in IL-6, RANK-L, DKK-1, OPG and serum CrossLaps levels between baseline, 6 months and 1 year were found. A significant increase of lumbar spine BMD was evidenced after 1 year of TCZ treatment. No difference in total body and femoral neck BMD was documented the end of the study. Conclusions This study suggest the bone-sparing effect of TCZ in RA affected individuals.
The projectors of the decomposition theorem are motivic

We prove that the projectors arising from the decomposition theorem applied to a projective map of quasi projective varieties are absolute Hodge, Andr\'e motivated, Tate and Ogus classes. As a by-product, we introduce, in characteristic zero, the notions of algebraic de Rham intersection cohomology groups of a quasi projective variety and of intersection cohomology motive of a projective variety.
Broadband Electromagnetic-Transparent Antenna and Its Application to Aperture-Shared Dual-Band Base Station Array

In this article, a broadband electromagnetic (EM)-transparent element is proposed for aperture-shared dual-band base station array application. The array consists of the proposed low-band (LB) transparent element and a $4\times $ 4 broadband antenna array operating at high-band (HB). The LB radiator is a dual-polarized dipole, loaded with dielectric blocks both on the top and bottom sides. The LB element is placed right above the center of HB array. Since the dielectric-loaded radiator achieves broadband transparent characteristics in HB, the HB array can radiate with almost no blockage from the LB element. The mechanism of the characteristics is studied by using an equivalent circuit. Experimental results show that the blockage effect of the LB radiator on the broadband HB element is reduced by loading dielectric blocks. For verification, a dual-band antenna array operating at 0.76–1.03 GHz and 3.4–5 GHz bands is fabricated and measured. Compared with the isolated HB array, the peak gain deterioration of the aperture-shared array is below 0.8 dB. On the directions within the half-power beamwidth (HPBW), variation of the gain is under 1.8 dB. The results demonstrate that the dielectric-loaded radiator can be used in a multi-band base station array to restore the pattern of a broadband HB array.
A Motivic Snaith Decomposition

The filtration $\operatorname{BGL}_{0}\subset\dots\subset\operatorname{BGL}_{n-1}\subset\operatorname{BGL}_{n}$ is split by motivic Becker-Gottlieb transfers in the motivic stable homotopy category over any scheme. This recovers results by Snaith on the splitting of $\operatorname{BGL}_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ in classical stable homotopy theory by passing to complex realizations. On the way, we extend motivic homotopy theory to smooth ind-schemes as bases and show how to construct the necessary fragment of the six operations and duality for this extension.
The Operator Space Projective Tensor Product: Embedding into the Second Dual and Ideal Structure

Abstract We prove that, for operator spaces V and W, the operator space V** ⊗hW** can be completely isometrically embedded into (V ⊗hW)**, ⊗h being the Haagerup tensor product. We also show that, for exact operator spaces V and W, a jointly completely bounded bilinear form on V × W can be extended uniquely to a separately w*-continuous jointly completely bounded bilinear form on V× W**. This paves the way to obtaining a canonical embedding of into with a continuous inverse, where is the operator space projective tensor product. Further, for C*-algebras A and B, we study the (closed) ideal structure of which, in particular, determines the lattice of closed ideals of completely.
