Behavior Change Communication: Family and Community Approaches

Breast and cervical cancers are two deathliest cancers causing women’s death in Indonesia. ‘Aisyiyah developed a model to support, educate and assist women to fight against breast and cervical cancers through behavior change communication in 15 districts. This model is implemented by integrating behavior change communication through family and community support approaches. Research on behavior change communication so far has focused more on the individual level and not many have paid attention to family (husband and wife relations) and community (cultural) factors to encourage individual behavior change. This study aims to explore ‘Aisyiyah’s strategies in behavior change communication (promoting, counselling, and assisting) women through family and community support approaches. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection are in-depth interview dan documentation. Research locations in five districts; Bantaeng, Mempawah, Sambas, Magelang, and Lamongan. This study revealed that behavior change communication integrated of promotion, family and community approaches was more effective in encouraging women to detect cancer early.
Optical Vernier Effect: Recent Advances and Developments

The optical analog of the Vernier effect applied to fiber interferometers is a recent tool to enhance the sensitivity and resolution of optical fiber sensors. This effect relies on the overlap between the signals of two interferometers with slightly detuned interference frequencies. The Vernier envelope modulation generated at the output spectrum presents magnified sensing capabilities (i.e., magnified wavelength shift) compared to that of the individual sensing interferometers that constitute the system, leading to a new generation of highly sensitive fiber sensing devices. This review analyses the recent advances and developments of the optical Vernier effect from a fiber sensing point‐of‐view. Initially, the fundamentals of the effect are introduced, followed by an extensive review on the state‐of‐the‐art, presenting all the different configurations and types of fiber sensing interferometers used to introduce the optical Vernier effect. This paper also includes an overview of the complex case of enhanced Vernier effect and the introduction of harmonics to the effect.
Clinicopathological Characteristics and Survival Outcomes of Mammary Paget’s Disease: A Retrospective Study Based on a Chinese Population

Background Mammary Paget’s disease (PD) is a rare type of breast cancer. Most cases of PD are presented with underlying ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive breast carcinoma (IDC). This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes of PD patients. Materials and Methods A total of 406 patients diagnosed with PD with IDC/DCIS at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC) were recruited as the PD group, 1218 patients diagnosed with IDC/DCIS alone during the same period were selected as the non-PD group, and the clinicopathological results of these two groups were compared. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to investigate the clinicopathological features between PD and non-PD patients for validation. Results Compared with the non-PD group, the PD group was much more likely to have larger (≥2 cm: 43.1% vs 35.5%, P < 0.001), less hormone receptor (HR)-positive (68.5% vs 26.6%, P < 0.001), more human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2)-positive (70.7% vs 27.5%, P < 0.001) and higher Ki-67 proportion (51.5% vs 42.5%, P < 0.001) tumors. The HER-2 overexpression subtype accounted for the largest proportion in the PD-IDC group and the lowest proportion in the non-PD-IDC group (54% vs 8%, P < 0.01). Moreover, the PD group had significantly worse disease-free survival (DFS) than the non-PD group (5-year DFS: 91.8% vs 97.3%, P = 0.001), and the SEER database showed a similar trend. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses demonstrated that PD was an independent poor-risk factor. Our matched study showed that the PD group had worse survival than the non-PD group after excluding age, HR, HER-2, tumor size and lymph node status. Conclusion PD with IDC/DCIS is associated with more aggressive tumor characteristics and worse survival outcomes. More than half of PD breast cancers are HER-2 overexpression subtype. PD is an independent poor-risk factor for breast cancer survival.
Manuscript title Microparticles Containing MiR-625-5p In Coronary Artery Reduce Myocardial Fibrosis After Myocardial Infarction

PurposeBlood from infarct-related arteries obtained by thrombus aspiration is good material for studying the local microenvironment of blood vessels in myocardial infarction. Here, we aimed to observe the effects of intracoronary microparticles (MPs) on cardiac fibrosis and to find associated microRNAs in MPs.MethodsBlood samples were collected from patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention, and sub-supersonic centrifugation was used to separate the MPs.ResultsWe found that rats treated with intracoronary MPs showed better cardiac function after myocardial infarction compared with rats treated with PBS control or peripheral MPs. RNA microarray analysis indicated that microRNAs, especially miR-625-5p, may play a role in the process. Supplementation with miR-625-5p inhibited proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts and myocardial fibrosis in a mouse myocardial infarction model. ConclusionOur findings indicate that plasma MPs in infarct-related arteries in patients with acute myocardial infarction can inhibit myocardial fibrosis and improve cardiac function, with a process mediated by miR-625-5p and HMGA1 (high mobility group AT-hook 1). The current study may provide a possible reference for thrombus aspiration standard.
NBER WORKING PAPER SERIES WHY DO COUPLES AND SINGLES SAVE DURING RETIREMENT?

While the savings of retired singles tend to fall with age, those of retired couples tend to rise. We estimate a rich model of retired singles and couples with bequest motives and uncertain longevity and medical expenses. Our estimates imply that while medical expenses are an important driver of the savings of middle-income singles, bequest motives matter for couples and high-income singles, and generate transfers to non-spousal heirs whenever a household member dies. The interaction of medical expenses and bequest motives is a crucial determinant of savings for all retirees. Hence, to understand savings, it is important to model household structure, medical expenses, and bequest motives.

Sustainability and legitimacy theory: The case of sustainable social and environmental practices of small and medium‐sized enterprises

The aim of this paper is to identify and gain insights into small and medium-sized enterprises' (SMEs) rationales ( why ) for engaging in sustainable social and environmental practices (SEPs) that influence social and environmental policy and sustainability changes. Specifically, we depart from the predominately quantitative-orientated SEPs literature by conducting in-depth interviews and analysis of owners and managers of SMEs in the United Kingdom within a legitimacy theoretical framework. Our findings from a comprehensive number of interviewees show that SMEs employ a complex mix of both symbolic and substantive SEPs with the aim of enhancing the legitimacy and sustainability of their operations. The results emphasise the strengths of social engagement, reputation and image, environmental embeddedness, industry differentiation and education facilitators. In particular, the paper shows that legitimating strategies can have a dual purpose of being symbolic in nature but also inferring a substantive legitimacy claim. Evidence of SMEs maintaining their legitimacy position stretches further via either a moral and/or a pragmatic standpoint.
Simulation of Microgravity Diffusion Flames Using Sub-Atmospheric Pressures

Ethylene/air laminar diffusion flames were studied at sub-atmospheric pressures to simulate a non-buoyant environment and at super-atmospheric pressures for comparison, at fuel flow rates of 0.48 mg/s and 1.16 mg/s. Flame properties including flame geometry, soot formation and temperature field of the flames were studied. Overall, luminous flame height decreased with decreasing pressure to the point of visible luminosity disappearance, resulting in blue flames at a near vacuum. Flame width increased with decreasing pressure until the flame was almost spherical. Soot formation was also found to decrease with decreasing pressure and existed at very negligible concentrations in a near vacuum. Subatmospheric peak soot volume fractions ranged from about 0.1 ppm to 0.93 ppm at 0.48 mg/s, whereas at 1.16 mg/s, peak soot volume fractions were substantially higher. At subatmospheric pressures, higher fuel flow rates produced flames with higher soot concentrations. Soot production was restricted to an annular region with this annular region shifting closer to the flame centerline with increasing height from the burner. At locations about halfway between the burner rim and the flame tip, soot volume fraction decreased with increasing radial distance from the flame centerline. These results are consistent for both high and low pressure flames. The annular soot formation region was also located further from the flame centerline for the higher flow rate flames because of the difference in luminous flame shape. At 0.48 mg/s, the fraction of carbon in the fuel converted into soot was between 0.1 % and 1.2 % in the sub-atmospheric pressure range, from 0.2 atm to 1 atm.

The kieselguhr-TiO 2-polypropylene hydrophobic composite membranes of dip casting type and reaction type were prepared by thermally induced phase separation technique,respectively.The influence of different preparation method,dip casting solution concentration and cooling manners on morphology,structure and gas permeability of membranes was characterized by the methods of SEM,nitrogen adsorption,IR spectra and gas permeability measure apparatus.The results indicate that the crystal particles and pore size of membrane fabricated by dip casting are smaller than those of membrane made by reaction.Novel bond-conjunction membrane layers between polypropylene membrane and kieselguhr supports linked by Si-O-Ti-O-C bond are formed.The gases diffused through membranes are under the control of Knudsen diffusion and the separation factors of H 2O and N 2 in those membranes are 2.46 and 2.22.
LEADERSHIP AND TEAM PERFORMANCE AS DEVELOPMENT TOOL FOR CREATING SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION

Team performance is important at work and in organizational psychology as it aims to promote human energy. The human energy is more than just a “New Age” concept, it has a substantial and predictable effect on performance and innovation in organizations. The aim of the study is to examine relations between leadership style and team performance and mediating role is played by the productive organizational energy. The study is based on literature and quantitative and qualitative research methods. A theoretical framework is assessed in the empirical study in Latvian organizations in 2019. The study was accomplished in co-operation with America company "The Energy Project" and the University of Arizona. The article reveals the model of human energy as a scientifically-based approach and transformational leadership as a development tool, which already has spread in all sectors of western societies, including educational organizations. The materials and recommendations can be used to assist organizations in identifying practices, processes and initiatives, which can have a positive impact on team performance and organizational energy. The general conclusion is that the transformation leadership lays a positive dynamic in the development of the team performance for sustainable education. The educational organizations can progress productive performance and create sustainable education in a particular manner by focusing on their human resources; considering their growth, development and well-being.
EFFECT OF SEEDS DRESSINGON THE INITIAL ESTABLISHMENT OF IRRIGATED RICE IN DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES AND SOWING PERIODS

The study aimed to evaluate the effects of seeds dressing in the initial establishment of irrigated rice and in the tolerance to herbicides when submitted to low temperatures. The study comprehended two experiments, where the first stage was realized at the Laboratory of Seeds and Technology of the Plants Science Department of the Federal University of Pelotas. Experiment 1: Effect of different seed dressings under the physiologic potential of irrigated rice seeds and experiment 2: Effect of the seeds dressing in the initial establishment of irrigated rice in different sowing seasons in field. The treatment with dietholate and the combining of dietholate + fipronil + carboxina + tiram, negatively influenced the germination and the vigor tests in both temperatures, decreasing the physiologic performance of rice seeds in lab. When taken to field, the seeds dressing did not influence the analyzed factors, being dependent of the herbicide applying and the sowing season. Besides presenting phytotoxicity, the rice plants presented detoxification power from the herbicide, being possible to analyze this fact, since there was higher number of tillers, resulting in higher number of panicles resulting in higher productivities.
pH dependent thermoresponsive behavior of acrylamide–acrylonitrile UCST-type copolymers in aqueous media

There are only a few non-ionic polymers known for showing thermoresponsivity of UCST-type. Copolymers of acrylamide (AAm) and acrylonitrile (AN) represent one of such thermoresponsive polymers. The present work shows pH-dependent UCST-transitions of this copolymer system. Herein, systematic studies were carried out to show hydrolytic stability and retention of UCST of the copolymer under various conditions. Regeneration of lost UCST-type transitions under extreme pH conditions could be achieved by changing pH, and by addition of electrolytes. Reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) was employed as a tool to synthesize copolymers of AAm and AN. Hydrolysis reactions were carried out intentionally under acidic and alkaline conditions, in order to analyze the chemical stability of the synthesized copolymers as well as to introduce carboxylic groups into the polymer structure. The obtained results showed high tolerance of poly(AAm-co-AN) samples under acidic conditions even after long periods of storage (25 days at pH 3) or after use of pH 0 and increased temperatures (40 °C). In the case of base catalyzed hydrolysis, the thermoresponsive behavior was significantly influenced during hydrolysis in buffer solution of pH 9. Loss and regeneration of the phase transition temperature of these copolymers could be achieved by changing the pH from basic to acidic. Meanwhile, hydrolysis at pH 14 at 40 °C influenced the thermoresponsive behavior and the chemical stability of the polymer, increasing the phase transition temperature over 30 °C. Further, we observed that additives, e.g. formamide can act as a sacrificial agent for providing stable UCST-type transitions even under alkaline conditions as well as at high temperatures (85 °C).
Adaptive hybrid steepest descent algorithms involving an inertial extrapolation term for split monotone variational inclusion problems

In this paper, we discuss the split monotone variational inclusion problem and propose two new inertial algorithms in infinite‐dimensional Hilbert spaces. The iterative sequence by the proposed algorithms converges strongly to the solution of a certain variational inequality with the help of the hybrid steepest descent method. Furthermore, an adaptive step size criterion is considered in suggested algorithms to avoid the difficulty of calculating the operator norm. Meanwhile, our results are also applied to several other types of split problems. Finally, some numerical experiments show that our algorithms are realistic and summarize the known results.
Corporate Governance, Profitability, Media Exposure, and Firm Value: the Mediation Role of Environmental Disclosure

This study aims to examine and analyze environmental disclosure's effect in mediating the relationship between corporate governance, profitability, and media exposure towards firm value. Total 135 samples of companies that have been listed on IDX in 2015 - 2019 were obtained and analyzed using multiple linear regression. This study showed that corporate governance and profitability increase firm value as investors tend to see corporate governance and profitability as a signal in determining investing decisions. Meanwhile, media exposure and environmental disclosure cannot increase firm value. This study also finds that corporate governance decreases ecological disclosure. Meanwhile, profitability and media exposure cannot increase firm value. Thus, this study also proves that corporate governance, profitability, and media exposure cannot increase firm value through environmental disclosure.
Chemical Structure of Residual Lignin from Kraft Pulp

Structural characteristics of wood lignin and residual lignin in conventional and modified kraft pulps were examined employing elemental and methoxyl analysis and 13C, 1H, and 31P-NMR. The structural analysis revealed that kraft residual lignin differs significantly from wood lignin while differences between residual lignins in conventional and EMCC® pulps have similar structural characteristics at kappa numbers corresponding to the point where the selectivity of the cook becomes poor. NMR analysis suggested that residual lignin, compared to the wood lignin, is much less reactive towards pulping chemicals due to the low content of aryl ether linkages and the prevalence of condensed type structures.
A multi‐sensor evaluation of precipitation uncertainty for landslide‐triggering storm events

Extreme precipitation can have profound consequences for communities, resulting in natural hazards such as rainfall‐triggered landslides that cause casualties and extensive property damage. A key challenge to understanding and predicting rainfall‐triggered landslides comes from observational uncertainties in the depth and intensity of precipitation preceding the event. Practitioners and researchers must select from a wide range of precipitation products, often with little guidance. Here we evaluate the degree of precipitation uncertainty across multiple precipitation products for a large set of landslide‐triggering storm events and investigate the impact of these uncertainties on predicted landslide probability using published intensity–duration thresholds. The average intensity, peak intensity, duration, and NOAA‐Atlas return periods are compared ahead of 177 reported landslides across the continental United States and Canada. Precipitation data are taken from four products that cover disparate measurement methods: near real‐time and post‐processed satellite (IMERG), radar (MRMS), and gauge‐based (NLDAS‐2). Landslide‐triggering precipitation was found to vary widely across precipitation products with the depth of individual storm events diverging by as much as 296 mm with an average range of 51 mm. Peak intensity measurements, which are typically influential in triggering landslides, were also highly variable with an average range of 7.8 mm/h and as much as 57 mm/h. The two products more reliant upon ground‐based observations (MRMS and NLDAS‐2) performed better at identifying landslides according to published intensity–duration storm thresholds, but all products exhibited hit ratios of greater than 0.56. A greater proportion of landslides were predicted when including only manually verified landslide locations. We recommend practitioners consider low‐latency products like MRMS for investigating landslides, given their near‐real time data availability and good performance in detecting landslides. Practitioners would be well‐served considering more than one product as a way to confirm intense storm signals and minimize the influence of noise and false alarms.
Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among homeless people living rough, in shelters and squats: A large population-based study in France

Background Overcrowded housing, as well as inadequate sanitary conditions, contribute to making homeless people particularly vulnerable to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. We aimed to assess the seroprevalence of the SARS-CoV-2 infection among people experiencing homelessness on a large city-wide scale in Marseille, France, taking into account different types of accommodation. Methods A consortium of outreach teams in 48 different locations including streets, slums, squats, emergency or transitional shelters and drop-in centres participated in the inclusion process. All participants consented to have a validated rapid antibody assay for immunoglobulins M (IgM) and G (IgG) and to answer a questionnaire on medical health conditions, comorbidities, and previous COVID-19 symptoms. Information on their housing conditions since the COVID-19 crisis was also collected from the participants. Results From June 01 to August 05, 2020, 1,156 homeless participants were enrolled in the study and tested. The overall seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM antibodies was 5.6% (95%CI 2.3–7.0), ranging from 2.2% in people living on the streets to 8.1% in people living in emergency shelters (P = 0.009). Around one third of the seropositive participants reported COVID-19 symptoms. Compared to the general population in Marseille (3.6%), the homeless population living in the same urban area experienced a significantly increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection (|z| = 3.65 > 1.96). Conclusion These findings highlight the need for regular screening among the homeless to prevent clustering in overcrowded or inadequate accommodations. It is also necessary to provide essential resources to keep homeless people healthy, the vast majority of whom have cumulative risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Huaier Inhibits Cancer Progression and Induces Tissue Regeneration by Transcriptional Regulations of Pluripotency of Stem Cells

The induced normal tissue regeneration was the results of transcriptional control of iPS/ES cell production. Among the gene families to control iPS/ES production, especially c-my expression level played a major role among the other genes or gene families. These results provide a clue to clarify the Huaier effects not only for recovery from cancer, but also for the prevention of many related diseases and disorders caused by daily accumulation of environmental stresses and ageing by controlling normal tissue regeneration by stem cell control.
