Switchable Radial Stub Resonator for Isolation Improvement of SPDT Switch

This paper proposes switchable radial stub resonator for isolation improvement of Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) discrete switch for Time Division Duplex (TDD) switching of wireless communications. A commercialized discrete PIN diode is used to switch the radial stub resonator between bandstop to allpass response where an analytical modeling of the switchable resonator is presented and analyzed. In this analysis, correlation between inner radial and angle radial stub with the characteristic impedance and attenuation pole is determined. Isolation improvement is analyzed with two-port network of single shunt PIN diode with switchable radial stub resonator where it is found that an additional isolation can be obtained with the switchable radial stub resonator. In measurement result, the SPDT switch with switchable radial stub resonator has shown more than 30 dB of transmit-receive (Tx-Rx) isolation at centre frequency of 3.5 GHz giving better isolation compared to conventional SPDT switch design. The potential application of this SPDT switch is TDD switching for WiMAX and LTE communication system.

Identification of Depression Among Elderly During COVID-19

Elderly population is increasing, while the world has been facing the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which causes a greater adverse impact among older population in various aspects of their lives, such as depression, daily routine disruption, illness, and social and emotional issues. The purpose of this study was to assess the elderly’s depression during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the risk factors including socio-demographic, physical and psychosocial conditions, as well as family support. The method used was cross-sectional design, with a total sampling of 457 participants. The measuring instruments used were ADL (Activities of Daily Living Scale) and IADL (Lowton and Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale) for physical activities assessment, APGAR (Adaptability, Participation, Growth, Affection, Resolution) for family support function assessment, and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) for depression level measurement, with additional questions for psychosocial assessment. 212 elderlies (46.4%) were found with no depression tendency, 183 elderlies (40%) had a tendency of depression, and 62 elderlies (13.6%) had depression. These depression issues were significantly linked to retirement and income among elderly, dependency, fitness and health status, family and social support, and sources of funds. In the presence of depression, control measures for social, health, and psychosocial support must be implemented in order to minimize its impact among the elderly.
An Appraisal of Narcissistic Rage Through Path Modeling

Pathological narcissism and borderline traits have been consistently associated with interpersonal aggression. Shame has been identified as an important trigger of aggressive behaviors in individuals with pathological personality traits, especially for narcissistic vulnerability and borderline traits. This is in line with Kohut’s theory on narcissistic rage, that is, aggression, anger, and destruction that act as a protection for a grandiose self. The present study aims to investigate the interrelations between pathological narcissism, borderline traits, shame, and trait aggression, concepts that are parts of the narcissistic rage phenomenon introduced by Kohut, using path models. A total of 399 participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing personality traits (narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability, and borderline traits), shame, and aggression. Three path models including these variables were tested and compared to one another on fit indices. Results show that shame acts as a mediator between pathological traits (narcissistic vulnerability and borderline traits) and trait aggression, whereas the relationship between narcissistic grandiosity and aggression was direct (i.e., shame was not involved). Results expand the narcissistic rage theory by suggesting that it might represent an internalizing type of aggression that manifests in the context of narcissistic vulnerability and borderline traits, which is not the case for narcissistic grandiosity that exerts a direct effect on trait aggression.
Competence-based system development for post-disaster project management

Purpose – One of the key elements contributing to successful post-disaster project teams is individual competence. Each project participant brings his or her own knowledge, experience and ideas to the collective. The kind of chaotic and fragmented environment that is common in post-disaster scenarios presents specific barriers to the success of projects, which can be mitigated by ensuring that staff members possess competencies appropriate for their deployment to particular contexts. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, incorporating unstructured interviews to extract key factors of competence, project barriers and strategy, and a subsequent questionnaire survey, designed to quantify the various elements. Interviews were undertaken and analysed using a cognitive mapping procedure, while survey data were processed using SPSS. The data were then utilized in the development of a software prototype using Design Science Research meth.
DOEGE-POTTER SYNDROME BY PLEURAL SOLITARY FIBROUS TUMOR.

INTRODUCTION Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare neoplasm that accounts for less than 5% of all pleural tumors. We present the case of a 73-year-old man with a history of recurrent episodes of severe hypoglycemia secondary to a large malignant SFTP. This paraneoplastic manifestation of SFTP occurs in less than 5% of cases and is referred to as Doege-Potter syndrome. Although rare, this is an important and reversible cause of hypoglycemia, which is resolved by complete surgical resection of the tumor. We describe the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of Doege-Potter syndrome. Key imaging findings and pathologic correlation are shown.
The impact of Drew Noden's work on our understanding of craniofacial musculoskeletal integration

The classical anatomist Drew Noden spearheaded craniofacial research, laying the foundation for our modern molecular understanding of development, evolution, and disorders of the craniofacial skeleton. His work revealed the origin of cephalic musculature and the role of cranial neural crest (CNC) in early formation and patterning of the head musculoskeletal structures. Much of modern cranial tendon research advances a foundation of knowledge that Noden built using classical quail‐chick transplantation experiments. This elegant avian chimeric system involves grafting of donor quail cells into host chick embryos to identify the cell types they can form and their interactions with the surrounding tissues. In this review, we will give a brief background of vertebrate head formation and the impact of CNC on the patterning, development, and evolution of the head musculoskeletal attachments. Using the zebrafish as a model system, we will discuss examples of modifications of craniofacial structures in evolution with a special focus on the role of tendon and ligaments. Lastly, we will discuss pathologies in craniofacial tendons and the importance of understanding the molecular and cellular dynamics during craniofacial tendon development in human disease.
Problems faced by Malaysians during the Movement Control Order and Conditional Movement Control Order: A cross-sectional study.

INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic had caused Malaysia to introduce a lockdown approach for the first time that was due to an outbreak of infectious disease. This was bound to create certain problems as it disrupts Malaysians' daily routine and way of life. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study to identify the problems faced by Malaysian Social Media Users during the Movement Control Order (MCO) and Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) was conducted. An online survey that assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practice of COVID-19 was shared via social media. RESULTS The response of the attitude module from the participants during MCO (n=2073) and CMCO (n=2720) were analysed. Chi-squared and Fisher's Exact Test showed that the male, unmarried, young (<40 years old), and employed participants were the most affected (p<0.05) when responding to a list of major problems faced during MCO/CMCO - 'Emotional difficulty being confined', 'Did not get paid due to missing work', 'Unable to communicate with family members who were not there', 'Unable to get food or water', 'Unable to get regular medical care or prescriptions', and 'There were no problems for me during MCO/CMCO'. CONCLUSION The problems that were faced by these groups need to be addressed for better public health interventions and policies to win against the war on the ongoing COVID- 19 pandemic.
BYSTANDER INTERVENTION AMONG DRINKING GAMERS Bystander Intervention Among College Student Drinking Gamers: Sexual Assault Attitudes, Self-Efficacy, and Intent to Intervene

Heavy drinking and sexual assault warrant significant concern on U.S. college campuses as emerging evidence suggests that the risk for sexual victimization is amplified in the context of high-risk drinking behavior. Despite recent attention to sexual assault (e.g., MeToo Movement), rates of perpetration remain largely unchanged. In applying the bystander intervention framework, our understanding of the relation between key factors that may facilitate or prevent behavioral action, or when and how these factors are most salient, is limited. The present study examined whether bystander attitudes and bystander self-efficacy interact to predict bystander intent to intervene. Hypotheses were tested among college student drinking gamers, a group at particular risk for involvement in situations of sexual violence. Participants (N = 964) were traditional college-aged student drinking gamers recruited from three universities across the East and Southern Central United States. After controlling for Greek affiliation, prior intervention training and social desirability, hypotheses were partially supported. Higher rape supportive attitudes (rape myth acceptance) were negatively associated with bystander intent to intervene across all participants, but bystander self-efficacy significantly moderated the relation between bystander attitudes (rape myth acceptance) and bystander intent to intervene only among women college student drinking gamers. The interaction effect was not significant among men. For all participants, there was a significant relation between bystander self-efficacy and bystander intent to intervene such that as self-efficacy increases, bystander intent to intervene increases. The discussion addresses implications for sexual assault prevention programs on college campuses and directions for future research.
Cultural Influences on Hispanic Mother–Daughter Communication About Sex

Introduction: Hispanic adolescents are at high risk of engaging in sexual risk-taking behaviors. Parent–child communication protects against such behaviors. Among Hispanic families, it is critical to explore how cultural characteristics influence mothers–daughter communication about sex. The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand how cultural values influence mothers’ communication about sex with their early adolescent Hispanic daughters. Methodology: Twenty-one Hispanic mothers of seventh-grade daughters participated in this focus group study. Directed content analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: Four Hispanic cultural values (familismo, machismo, marianismo, and respeto) and how each value influences mother–daughter communication about sex were identified. While mothers want to protect their daughters, there are multiple cultural norms that made it challenging for them to have critical conversations. Discussion: The study informs researchers and clinicians how to facilitate parent–child conversations about sex and to equip parents to teach their children how to avoid engaging in sexual risk-taking behaviors.
Chemical composition, antioxidant activity and development of a facial serum formulation from the extract of Hancornia speciosa

Abstract The goal of this work was to chemically characterise Hancornia speciosa extracts to develop an antioxidant serum formulation. Stem and bark extracts were prepared using 70% hydroethanol solution by Sohxlet and ultrasound assisted extraction. The content of total phenols, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity were evaluated, and chemical characterization was performed by HPLC -detector UV-VIS (SPD − 10 A). The formulation was developed with stem extract (0.250 mg/g) in hydroxyethylcellulose fluid gel. Stem extracts had higher total phenols and flavonoids, and higher antioxidant activity than bark extracts. The formulation presented low viscosity, a yellowish colour, 81.28% ± 0.14 of antioxidant activity. In the stability test, the physicochemical characteristics showed small variations, remaining more stable at a temperature of 5 °C, with an antioxidant activity of 64.81% ± 0.75. Therefore, the stem of H. speciosa has the potential to be used in antioxidant formulations. Graphical Abstract
The Certification of Reference Materials of Maize Seed Powder with different Mass Fractions of the Maize Event 3272. Certified Reference Materials ERM-BF420 (ERM-BF420a, ERM-BF420b, ERM-BF420c)

This report describes the processing and certification of three maize powder Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) containing different mass fractions of genetically modified (GM) Event 3272 maize (ERM-BF420a, ERM-BF420b and ERM-BF420c). The CRMs were processed and certified in 2006-2007 by the European Commission, Directorate General Joint Research Centre, Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM), Geel, Belgium. Hybrid, hemizygous seeds of Event 3272 maize and of its near-isogenic non-GM counterpart were dried and ground to GM and non-GM base powders in a two-step grinding process. A non-GM pure material and two gravimetric mixtures of non-GM and GM maize powder were prepared by dry-mixing. The certified values of these CRMs were calculated from the gravimetric preparations, taking into account the GM purity of the base materials and their water mass fraction. The certified values were confirmed by event-specific real-time PCR as independent verification method. The three CRMs belonging to the ERM-BF420 set were certified to contain the following Event 3272 maize mass fractions: CRM Certified value: Event 3272 maize mass fraction 1) [g/kg] Uncertainty 2) [g/kg] ERM-BF420a < 1.3 3) -
Massive Paraesophageal Hernia Repair in the Obese Patient Population: Antireflux Gastric Bypass Versus Fundoplication.

Introduction: Obesity is a risk factor for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernia (HH). Fundoplication is the standard operation for GERD with HH. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the procedure of choice for obese patients with either GERD or a large HH, but neither are indications for RYGB. To delineate bypass surgery as a treatment option for obese patients with HH and GERD, we propose new terminology, antireflux gastric bypass (ARGB). ARGB differs from RYGB by utilizing varying efferent limb lengths for GERD treatment. We hypothesized that ARGB would have higher GERD resolution, lower HH recurrence, and improves weight loss when compared with fundoplication. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed, evaluating patients undergoing repair of large HH (>5 cm) with obesity from January 2013 to February 2021. The primary outcome was GERD resolution, secondary outcomes include HH recurrence and weight loss. Multivariate logistic regression adjusted for age, body mass index (BMI), and hernia size by nonlinear mixed modeling. Results: Forty patients underwent fundoplication, and 16 patients underwent ARGB. Fundoplication patients had a larger mean hernia size (8.7 × 6.3 cm versus 6.6 × 6.4 cm), whereas ARGB patients had a higher BMI (39.2 versus 34.2 kg/m2). Recurrence showed nonstatistically significant lower incidence with ARGB and no significant difference in GERD resolution. Weight (P < .0001) and excess body weight (P < .0001) loss were superior with ARGB. Conclusions: Obese patients with large HHs and GERD treated with ARGB had similar GERD resolution, lower HH recurrence, and improved weight loss when compared with fundoplication. ARGB is an acceptable treatment option for obese patients with a massive paraesophageal hernia in the setting of GERD.
Development, Implementation, and Scale Up of the National Furaha Yangu Campaign to Promote HIV Test and Treat Services Uptake Among Men in Tanzania

Evidence has demonstrated that immediate HIV treatment initiation upon a positive HIV test, referred to as Test and Treat, can help people living with HIV live longer, healthier lives and prevent HIV transmission. Although Tanzania adopted the evidence-based Test and Treat strategy since 2016, men were not being adequately reached for HIV services. A national campaign was launched to promote the new HIV services with a focus on men. To inform the development and implementation of the campaign, we conducted formative audience insights-gathering (AIG) sessions to assess facilitators and barriers to accessing HIV Test and Treat services and inform the concepts and materials for the campaign. Qualitative AIG interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with 54 people who were unaware or aware of their HIV status and currently or not currently on treatment, as well as health workers. Facilitators and barriers included a fear of testing positive, the desire to belong, control their narratives, and reinvent themselves to achieve their dreams and live a happy life. The campaign played off a My Happiness! creative concept to position antiretroviral therapy (ART) as a solution to fears around what life would be like after a positive HIV diagnosis. The development and implementation of the campaign were informed by the AIG sessions and national stakeholders, leading to strong partners’ buy-in that supported the scale-up of the ongoing campaign from 12 to 26 regions via the collaborative efforts of government, donors, and implementing partners.
Sexual dimorphism in phenotypic plasticity and persistence under environmental change: An extension of theory and meta‐analysis of current data

Abstract Populations must adapt to environmental changes to remain viable. Both evolution and phenotypic plasticity contribute to adaptation, with plasticity possibly being more important for coping with rapid change. Adaptation is complex in species with separate sexes, as the sexes can differ in the strength or direction of natural selection, the genetic basis of trait variation, and phenotypic plasticity. Many species show sex differences in plasticity, yet how these differences influence extinction susceptibility remains unclear. We first extend theoretical models of population persistence in changing environments and show that persistence is affected by sexual dimorphism for phenotypic plasticity, trait genetic architecture, and sex‐specific selection. Our models predict that female‐biased adaptive plasticity—particularly in traits with modest‐to‐low cross‐sex genetic correlations—typically promotes persistence, though we also identify conditions where sexually monomorphic or male‐biased plasticity promotes persistence. We then perform a meta‐analysis of sex‐specific plasticity under manipulated thermal conditions. Although examples of sexually dimorphic plasticity are widely observed, systematic sex differences are rare. An exception—cold resistance—is systematically female‐biased and represents a trait wherein sexually dimorphic plasticity might elevate population viability in changing environments. We discuss our results in light of debates about the roles of evolution and plasticity in extinction susceptibility.
Effects of aquaculture on the maintenance of waterbird populations

The global aquaculture industry has expanded rapidly and is increasingly important for maintaining food security and providing habitat for many waterbirds. Clarifying how waterbirds use aquafarms and how aquafarm use affects waterbird population maintenance can help improve management of the aquafarm landscape such that it can provide habitat for waterbirds. We investigated aquafarm use by waterbirds in China, the world's largest producer of aquaculture products. We used data from the literature on and expert knowledge (questionnaire survey) of waterbird use of aquafarms in China and Bayesian phylogenetic generalized linear mixed models to analyze the relationship between the degree of aquafarm use and population trends of waterbirds. Sixty‐nine percent of waterbird species in China have been recorded at aquafarms. Approximately one quarter of all waterbird species and about the same proportion of threatened species were found to forage at aquafarms, consuming either cultured aquatic products or other food stuffs. In general, species with a high degree of aquafarm use were unlikely to exhibit a population decline over the past 2 decades, when rapid loss of natural habitat occurred in China. This relationship was not detected in threatened species, despite there being no significant difference in the degree of aquafarm use between threatened and nonthreatened species. Our results suggest that the large and expanding aquaculture industry is important for maintaining waterbird populations in China. However, aquafarms are not a replacement for natural habitats because threatened species benefited less from aquafarm use. Given that aquafarms often negatively affect natural wetlands, the degree to which aquafarms compensate for natural habitat loss probably depends on the quality of aquafarm habitat and the habitat requirements of waterbirds. We recommend an integrated ecological and economic analysis to formulate management policies that help conserve wildlife within the constraints and opportunities associated with maintaining human livelihoods.
Intimate Partner Violence and Health Conditions Among U.S. Adults—National Intimate Partner Violence Survey, 2010–2012

Introduction: Few studies of intimate partner violence and health outcomes include multiple forms of intimate partner victimization, so this paper sought to examine health associations with intimate partner violence (IPV), including sexual, physical, stalking, and psychological forms, as well as polyvictimization. Methods: Data are from the 2010-2012 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, an on-going national random-digit-dial telephone survey of U.S. adults. There were 41,174 respondents. Logistic regression was used to compute prevalence ratios for any IPV, adjusted for demographics and non-IPV victimization. For individual forms of IPV, prevalence ratios were further adjusted for other forms of IPV. Tests for linear trend in poly-victimization were performed. Results: Any IPV was associated with all health conditions for both sexes with a few exceptions for males. Female penetrative sexual victimization and male stalking victimization were associated with the most health conditions. For each health condition, a significant linear trend indicated that as the number of forms of IPV experienced increased, prevalence of each health condition increased, with a few exceptions for males. Conclusions: It is important for service providers to screen for multiple forms of IPV, including psychological aggression, because individual forms or polyvictimization may have unique and cumulative health effects.
