Patients characteristics and prognostic implications of type 2 diabetes mellitus in heart failure with preserved, mid-rang reduced and reduced ejection fraction

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is frequent in patients with heart failure (HF) and correlated with an increased morbidity and mortality. The features and outcomes of patients with and without T2DM, depending on the HF type (HF with preserved: HFpEF, mid-range: HFmrEF; and reduced ejection fraction: HFrEF), are inefficiently explored. Aim: To explore the impact of T2DM on clinical features and one-year overall mortality in patients with HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF. Material and methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted, including patients with HF at the Department of Cardiology, Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade. The enrolment occurred between November 2018 and January 2019. The study outcome was one-year all-cause mortality. Results: Study included 242 patients (mean-age, 71 ± 13 years, men 57%). T2DM was present in 31% of patients. The proportion of T2DM was similar amid patients with HFrEF, HFmrEF, and HFpEF. Regardless of the HF type, patients with T2DM were probably older and had a higher prevalence of myocardial infarction, other types of coronary disorder or peripheral arterial disorder (all p < 0.001). Also, chronic kidney disease was more prevalent in T2DM (p < 0.001). In HFpEF, T2DM patients were commonly female, and usually had hypertension and atrial fibrillation (all p < 0.001). Estimated one-year total mortality rates were significantly higher in T2DM patients. It also emerged as a unique predictor of higher mortality in HFrEF (HR; 1.33; 95% CI; 1.34 - 2.00), HFmrEF (HR; 1.13; 95% CI; 1.0 - 1.24) and HFpEF (HR; 1.21; 95% CI; 1.09 - 1.56), all p < 0.05. Conclusion: Compared with non-diabetics, patients with HF and T2DM are older, with higher prevalence of comorbidities and greater one-year mortality, regardless of HF type. Heart failure is a unique predictor of mortality in all HF types in multivariate analysis. Considering the increased risk, T2DM requires meticulous screening/diagnosis and contemporary treatment to improve outcomes.
INVESTIGATION OF THE REASON FOR THE DIFFERENCE IN THE ACOUSTIC LINER IMPEDANCE DETERMINED BY THE TRANSFER FUNCTION METHOD AND DEAN´S METHOD

The article considers the reason for the difference in the results of determining the impedance of the single-layer acoustic liner samples by different methods during the operation in a normal incidence impedance tube. The operation of the normal incidence impedance tube was simulated by numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. The data obtained from the numerical simulation were processed by the transfer function method and Dean’s method. A direct determination of the liner impedance, based on the ratio of the acoustic pressure to the acoustic normal velocity, was used to find out the reasons for the difference in impedance values. The analysis was carried out in the frequency range close to the resonance. It was shown that the transfer function method determines the impedance of the sample face, and the Dean’s method determines the impedance of the one cell only.
Removal of metals and ammonia in constructed wetlands

Constructed wetlands have the potential to trap and remove metals contained in wastewater. Long‐term removal is expected to occur by accumulation and burial in the plant detritus in a manner similar to the removal of phosphorus. A free water surface constructed wetlands has been in operation at the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant treating municipal secondary effluent since the spring of 1994. Data on removal of 13 metals and ammonia are presented for the operating period from July 1994 to December 1995. Significant removal of copper, lead, and zinc is indicated from preliminary results. Water quality profiles for copper, lead, nickel, and zinc are presented for a plug flow cell.
Process optimization of Auramine O adsorption by surfactant modified activated carbon using Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology

The present study explores the sorption capacity of anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS)–modified activated carbon (PA-AC-SDS) for highly toxic and carcinogenic dye, Auramine O (AO) from aqueous systems. The effects of various process variables such as dye solution pH, adsorbent dose, dye initial concentration and contact time have been explored via Box–Behnken design of response surface methodology. Optimum conditions were found to be solution pH of 6.00, adsorbent dose of 0.110 g, contact time of 240 min and dye initial concentration of 1,000 mg L–1, under which the measured experimental adsorption capacity for AO was 425.060 mg g–1, which was in close agreement with the predicted value (427.130 mg g–1), with relative error of –0.490%. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm data were well described by pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm model. Intra-particle diffusion and Boyd’s models showed that both film diffusion and intra-particle diffusion may occur parallel during the interaction of the AO with PA-ACSDS. Thermodynamic investigations presented spontaneous and endothermic nature of adsorption. In addition, regeneration studies revealed that PA-AC-SDS was effective in removal of AO for five consecutive cycles, showing it to be an efficient technology for textile industries effluents.
Threshold effects of financialization on enterprise R & D innovation: a comparison research on heterogeneity

By taking samples of 1221 non-financial listed companies in China from 2010 to 2019, threshold effects of financialization on enterprise R&D innovation, as well as heterogeneous impacts of the threshold effects in different enterprise types are analyzed by using panel threshold model. The research shows that there are threshold effects of financialization on enterprise R&D innovation, and these threshold effects are heterogeneous among different types of enterprises. To be specific, first, in groups with different ownership structures, the inhibiting effect of state-owned enterprises financialization on R&D innovation decreases with the increase of financialization, while the impact of financialization of non-state-owned enterprises on R&D innovation is firstly promoted and then inhibited with the increase of financialization. Second, in groups with different financing constraints, the inhibiting effect of financialization with high financing constraints enterprises on R&D innovation decreases significantly with the increase of financialization, while the effect of financialization with low financing constraints enterprises on R&D innovation changes from an insignificant promoting effect to a significant inhibiting effect with the increase of financialization. These conclusions provide empirical evidence for different types of enterprises on how to balance the relationship between financialization and R&D innovation.
Influence of Sowing Date and Removal of Disease Leaves on the Incidence and Severity of lLeaf Spot Disease in Telfairia occidentalis

Diseases of fungi origin are important diseases of Telfairia occidentalis (fluted pumpkin) in the main growing areas of the leafy vegetable in Cameroon. A study was conducted between March and June in the cropping seasons of 2019 and 2020 in Dschang to determine the influence of sowing date and removal of diseased leaves on the incidence and severity of leaf spot disease caused by Phoma sorghina. There were four sowing dates, with no variation in planting distance in the two cropping seasons. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Each replication had three experimental units with similar sowing dates. Seeds were sown at the rate of 1 m × 1 m, with four seeds per experimental unit. Data for disease incidence and severity was recorded every fortnight, commencing three weeks after emergence (WAE) and for a period of eight weeks for each sowing date. Disease incidence and severity was determined using Microsoft Excel and the data was subjected to statistical analysis and the means separated by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 95% confidence interval. Analysis of variance revealed that there was a significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) in leaf spot disease incidence between sowing date two and sowing dates one, three and four. Sowing date four recorded a very high leaf spot disease incidence (22.464 ± 16.718) and severity (1.625 ± 0.836). The first cropping season registered a higher and significant (p ≤ 0.05) leaf spot disease incidence and severity compared to the second cropping season. In order to enhance production of leaves, and reduced disease incidence and severity of Telfairia occidentalis, sowing date two (corresponding to the first week of April) besides removal of diseased leaves every fortnight could well manage leaf spot disease compared to sowing dates one three and four.
The Relationship between Motivation for Rehabilitation and Sense of Agency in Patients with Cerebrovascular Disease, and Nurse Support for Patient Agency

: For patients who have suffered a stroke and are undergoing rehabilitation, the motivation for recovery and achievement of independence is a major factor that must be considered for effective treatment. A patient’s sense of agency affects their motivation for activities, such as rehabilitation. This study was conducted to investigate the motivation and sense of agency of patients with cerebrovascular disease who were undergoing rehabilitation and to examine the influence of nursing involvement on improving patient independence. This study of inpatients in a rehabilitation hospital ward was conducted using questionnaires. Our results suggest that sense of agency may affect patient motivation during hospitalization and was influenced by nursing support for independence. Interventions targeted to improve the patient’s sense of agency were shown to be a potentially effective method for improving the patient’s rehabilitative motivation. Nursing support for independence provides a promising effective strategy for improving the patient’s sense of agency.
Mobility Management in Small Cell Cluster of Cellular Network

: The installation of small cells in a 5G network extends the maximum coverage and provides high availability. However, this approach increases the handover overhead in the Core Network (CN) due to frequent handoffs. The variation of user density and movement inside a region of small cells also increases the handover overhead in CN. However, the present 5G system cannot reduce the handover overhead in CN under such circumstances because it relies on a traditionally rigid and complex hierarchical sequence for a handover procedure. Recently, Not Only Stack (NO Stack) architecture has been introduced for Radio Access Network (RAN) to reduce the signaling during handover. This paper proposes a system based on NO Stack architecture and solves the aforementioned problem by adding a dedicated local mobility controller to the edge cloud for each cluster. The dedicated cluster controller manages the user mobility locally inside a cluster and also maintains the forwarding data of a mobile user locally. To reduce the latency for X2-based handover requests, an edge cloud infrastructure has been also developed to provide high-computing for dedicated controllers at the edge of a cellular network. The proposed system is also compared with the traditional 3GPP architecture and other works in the context of overhead and delay caused by X2-based handover requests during user mobility. Simulated results show that the inclusion of a dedicated local controller for small clusters together with the implementation of NO Stack framework reduces the significant amount of overhead of X2-based handover requests at CN.
Media Influence, Trust, and the Public Adoption of Automated Vehicles

Automated vehicles (AVs) have received attention from academia and industry due to their numerous advantages, including safety, efficient mobility, and convenience. One of the biggest challenges to the mass implementation of AVs is public acceptance. This study aimed to explore the factors affecting the public’s intention to adopt AVs. Based on social cognitive theory, a theoretical model was developed with the constructs of social media (e.g., WeChat, Weibo, and TikTok) influence, traditional media (e.g., television, radio, and newspapers) influence, subjective norms, self-efficacy, perceived safety and privacy risks, trust, and behavioral intentions. The data were collected from Changsha, China, through web- and paper-based surveys. A total of 964 responses was collected to test the hypothesized model through the partial least squares path modeling approach. The results revealed that the public’s trust and intention to adopt AVs are more likely to increase through positive information on social and traditional media, strengthening subjective norms and self-efficacy, and reducing perceived safety risks. The study’s findings can be useful for establishing intervention strategies and managerial applications to enhance the public’s trust and intentions to adopt AVs.

Finding and Defining Champions in a Rural Adult Education Intervention in Limpopo, South Africa

This paper presents the outcomes of a community-based information communications technology (ICT) and basic adult education (BAE) nutrition training intervention for out-ofschool young mothers (YMs) in a resource-limited rural village in eastern Limpopo Province, South Africa. YMs have been identified as a vulnerable and priority group for human development. Out-of-school YMs are often trapped in a cycle of poverty because they lack the resources and qualifications to compete outside their village environment. Implementation of the project’s objectives to improve the nutritional and vocational skills education of the YMs was tracked to observe its empowering effect and the effectiveness of the community-based participatory action research (CBPAR) methodology in the implementation of the BAE. Voluntary sampling was used to purposively focus on seven of the 20 selected unemployed YMs between the ages of 18–30 years from this community. The findings revealed that the collaborative CBPAR approach enabled YMs to be empowered in their local community through active participation in the planning, trialling implementation, reflection, observation, and evaluation of the ICT and BAE nutrition course as an out-of-school adult learning experience. During these stages, some YMs displayed what may be considered “champion” behaviours such as higher levels of motivation in class, inviting others to the class, helping peers, regular attendance, and willingness to volunteer locally to access and assist with the facilitation of future courses. This study points to champions acting as catalysts to enable YMs and their older women mentors to fill different roles in the development and delivery of community-based BAE.
First evaluation of melon (Cucumis melo. L) landraces under high tunnel condition in Sistan

In order to evaluate a number of agro-morphological characteristics in 10 melon population, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out in two years (2017-2018) at high tunnel condition at Zahak Agriculture Research Station. The relationships among the related traits evaluated using by statistical methods. The combined analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among landraces in evaluated traits. A highly and significant correlation was observed between fruit width and yield (0.81**). Mean comparison using Duncan? s multiple rang test revealed that maximum yield belonged to landrace Zardeivanaki with 29160 kg/ha. Factor analysis was used for understanding the data structure and trait relations. The factor analysis showed that five factors explained 84% of the total variation among the traits. Therefore, the selection may be done according to the first component and it was helpful for a good breeding program for development of high yielding genotypes also landraces Dargazi, Zardeivanaki and Sabzsooski were placed very closely indicating that the responses of these landraces to be similar to high tunnel cultivation condition.

ModIs Dust AeroSol (MIDAS): a global fine-resolution dust optical depth data set

Abstract. Monitoring and describing the spatiotemporal variability of dust aerosols is crucial to understand their multiple effects, related feedbacks and impacts within the Earth system. This study describes the development of the MIDAS (ModIs Dust AeroSol) dataset. MIDAS provides columnar daily dust optical depth (DOD at 550 nm) at global scale and fine spatial resolution (0.1° × 0.1°) over a decade (2007–2016). This new dataset combines quality filtered satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals from MODIS-Aqua at swath level (Collection 6, Level 2), along with DOD-to-AOD ratios provided by MERRA-2 reanalysis to derive DOD on the MODIS native grid. The uncertainties of MODIS AOD and MERRA-2 dust fraction with respect to AERONET and CALIOP, respectively, are taken into account for the estimation of the total DOD uncertainty (including measurement and sampling uncertainties). MERRA-2 dust fractions are in very good agreement with CALIOP column-integrated dust fractions across the dust belt , in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean and the Arabian Sea; the agreement degrades in North America and the Southern Hemisphere where dust sources are smaller. MIDAS, MERRA-2 and CALIOP DODs strongly agree when it comes to annual and seasonal spatial patterns; however, deviations of dust loads' intensity are evident and regionally dependent. Overall, MIDAS is well correlated with ground-truth AERONET-derived DODs (R = 0.882), only showing a small negative bias (−0.009 or −5.307 %). Among the major dust areas of the planet, the highest R values (up to 0.977) are found at sites of N. Africa, Middle East and Asia. MIDAS expands, complements and upgrades existing observational capabilities of dust aerosols and it is suitable for dust climatological studies, model evaluation and data assimilation.
