The Association between Types of COVID-19 Information Source and the Avoidance of Child Health Checkups in Japan: Findings from the JACSIS 2021 Study

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic can affect children’s well-being through mothers’ avoidance of health checkups for children due to media portrayal of the disease. This study investigated the association between the type of information source for COVID-19 received by mothers and the avoidance of their children’s health checkups. The study was an online-based survey, and the participants comprised 5667 postpartum women with children aged under 2 years during the study period. We analyzed the analytic sample and three groups of women with children aged 0–3 months, 4–6 months, and 6 months or older according to the timing of children’s health checkups in Japan. Among the participants, 382 women (6.7%) avoided their children’s health checkups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that mothers with children over 6 months who used magazines as an information source about COVID-19 tended to avoid their children’s health checkups (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 3.19; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.68–6.05) compared with those who did not. In contrast, those using public websites were less likely to avoid their children’s health checkups (aOR 0.58, 95% CI 0.43–0.77). This study showed that specific types of information source on COVID-19 could have varying effects on mothers’ decisions about their children’s health checkups.
Prevalence, Factors, and Perception against Covid-19 Vaccine Uptakes among Clinical Years of Medical Students at Al- Neelain University, Sudan, 2021

Aim: This study was conducted to the faculty of medicine at Al-Neelain University, Khartoum, Sudan to study the Prevalence, Factors, and Perception against Covid-19 Vaccine Uptakes among Clinical Years students. Background: Medical students are among the frontline healthcare providers that are most likely to come into contact with COVID-19 patients. As soon as a vaccine is available, it is critical to obtain high COVID-19 immunization coverage rates in this group. They will be charged with offering vaccine recommendations and counseling vaccine-hesitant individuals as future healthcare providers. Research Methods: This research was conducted to faculty of medicine at al-Neelain University, data of 180 students in a clinical year was collected by using online Google form questionnaire that was made from similar studies and standardized survey. The verbal consent was obtained from each participant. Results: The study was conducted on 180 students, of which 50 (27.8%) were vaccinated and 130 (72.2%) un vaccinated, the majority of vaccinated groups are from fourth years which are 34 (32.4%), no significant differences between male and females ( p-value 0.1 ) regarding the vaccine uptake, but shows a Correlation between Age and receiving COVID-19 vaccine (P-value = 0.04 which is significant) in which the age of 19-20 is most aged vaccinated 17% of our students’ dose not trust safety of the vaccine and concern about their side effect, 7.1% does not think vaccine is effective, 6% does not know where to get vaccination and . 5% relate their refusing of vaccine to a religious manner. Conclusion: This study shows large number of unvaccinated medical student and highlights the need for an educational curriculum about the safety and effectiveness to promote uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Determination of Mycotoxins and Veterinary Medicines in Duck Flesh and Viscera and Assessment of Their Exposure

Mycotoxins can accumulate in various feeds and thus may get in duck meat, which may have severe food safety and public health implications. This study examined mycotoxins and veterinary medications in duck meat marketed in eight marketplaces around China. For the determination of mycotoxins, including the mycotoxins aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), T-2 toxin, zearalenone (ZEN), and ochratoxin A (OTA), a liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was validated. Overall, 13 out of 48 samples (27%) presented AFB1, and AFB2 was present in 14 out of 48 samples with positive levels ranging from 0.5 μg/kg (gizzard) to 4.1 μg/kg (lung). Eleven samples were contaminated with AFM1. T-2 was also found in three parts of duck samples (duck gizzard, neck, and lung), and the 5th and 48th samples were contaminated with T-2. ZEN was found in 5 of 48 analyzed samples (10%), and OTA was present in 21 out of 48 samples. The maximum kinds of mycotoxins found simultaneously in duck samples were six in duck lungs. High co-occurrence of mycotoxins was verified in several samples. The detection rate of various veterinary drugs was 0–12.5% in duck meat samples, and the over standard rate was 2.1%. Co-occurrence of veterinary drugs was verified in several samples.
A Morphometric Study on Mahseer (Tor putitora) From a Mid-Hill Lake and Rivers of Nepal

Mahseer or Sahar ( Tor putitora , Cyprinidae), one of highly valued, mighty and giant freshwater fish of Transhimalayan regions, is distributed in all major river systems and mid hill lakes of Nepal. It has been hypothesized that differences between habitats (e.g. flow regime, foraging opportunities) might create selective pressures resulting in morphological divergence between intraspecific populations. Morphometric diversification between three river populations (Koshi, Trishuli, Kali Gandaki) and one lake population (Phewa lake) of mahseer was examined to identify intraspecific unit for enabling better management and perpetuation of the resources. Morphometric analysis showed that most of the shape variation among these populations occurs in the head region, body depth and fin length. Lake population of mahseer was found to diverge most from river populations. The characters that best discriminated the river and lake population of mahseer were associated with locomotion patterns and foraging behavior of fish. The mahseer may be phenotypically plastic in response to the environmental conditions of the habitat of each population.
Data based quest for solar wind‐magnetosphere coupling function

The NARMAX (Nonlinear Autoregressive Moving Average with eXogenous inputs) modeling based approach is used to identify the relations for Solar wind Magnetosphere Coupling Functions in order to identify the one with the best Dst index forecasting abilities. It is argued that the Error Reduction Ratio which is a cornerstone concept in the NARMAX system identification methodology is more appropriate for such nonlinear system as the terrestrial magnetosphere than correlation function analysis which has often been used in the past. It is shown that the identified relationships for coupling functions are proportional to , where is the clock angle, and not to as was suggested in earlier studies. It is shown that the factor appears naturally within the analytical model of Kan and Lee (1979) as the dependence on the clock angle.
Exploration Of Native Plants Of Assam For Host Preference Of Lac Insect Kerria Chinensis

Field and laboratory experiments were carried out at the Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during October, 2018 to April, 2019 to study the host plant preference of local lac insect Kerria chinensis on eight native plants of Assam viz., Flemingia semialata, F. strobilifera, Indigofera teysmannii, Ficus religiosa, Zizyphus mauritiana, Litchi chinensis, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and Cajanus cajan. Results indicated that the maximum productivity of broodlac (0.31± 0.01kg) and longest lifecycle duration (171.92± 2.08 days) was recorded in F. semialata. Study on morphological parameters revealed that the girth of the bark of the plants possesses significant negative correlation with the settlement density of crawlers as well as production of lac. However, trichome density of the bark was found to possess positive but non-significant correlation with the settlement density of crawlers as well as production of lac.

Web Semantics: Science, Services and Agents on the World Wide Web

The Semantic Web is distributed yet interoperable: Distributed since resources are created and published by a variety of producers, tailored to their specific needs and knowledge; Interoperable as entities are linked across resources, allowing to use resources from different providers in concord. Complementary to the explicit usage of Semantic Web resources, embedding methods made them applicable to machine learning tasks. Subsequently, embedding models for numerous tasks and structures have been developed, and embedding spaces for various resources have been published. The ecosystem of embedding spaces is distributed but not interoperable: Entity embeddings are not readily comparable across different spaces. To parallel the Web of Data with a Web of Embeddings, we must thus integrate available embedding spaces into a uniform space. Current integration approaches are limited to two spaces and presume that both of them were embedded with the same method — both assumptions are unlikely to hold in the context of a Web of Embeddings. In this paper, we present FedCoder— an approach that integrates multiple embedding spaces via a latent space. We assert that linked entities have a similar representation in the latent space so that entities become comparable across embedding spaces. FedCoder employs an autoencoder to learn this latent space from linked as well as non-linked entities. Our experiments show that FedCoder substantially outperforms state-of-the-art approaches when faced with different embedding models, that it scales better than previous methods in the number of embedding spaces, and that it improves with more graphs being integrated whilst performing comparably with current approaches that assumed joint learning of the embeddings and were, usually, limited to two sources. Our results demonstrate that FedCoder is well adapted to integrate the distributed, diverse, and large ecosystem of embeddings spaces into an interoperable Web of Embeddings. © 2022TheAuthor(s).
A Distributed Coordination Control Based on Finite-Time Consensus Algorithm for a Cluster of DC Microgrids

A cluster of dc microgrids consisting of multiple interconnected dc microgrids has great potential for improving the reliability and reducing the cost of power generation. In this paper, a distributed coordination control strategy is proposed to overcome a series of problems of centralized control. This control strategy which adopts a hierarchical structure is based on the droop control method, then a modified control formula which achieves multi-objective is introduced to the voltage control and power generation cost control. Besides, a finite-time consensus algorithm is applied to obtain the average value obtained in finite steps. Meanwhile, an estimated connected topology is proposed for better utilisation of the finite-time consensus algorithm and acceleration of the convergence speed. This proposed topology ensures all this control method is a fully distributed one, which does not require the global information previously and has high reliability. By using the MATLAB/Simulink simulation platform, this proposed control strategy is verified in one dc microgrid and a cluster of those containing 4 dc microgrids. The simulation results under different scenarios all indicate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
Effect of Flexible Sacrum Position on Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes in Public Health Facilities, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia: A Quasi-Experimental Study

Restricting women giving birth in health care facilities from choosing the most comfortable position during labor and birth is a global problem. This study was aimed to examine the effect of flexible sacrum birth positions on maternal and neonatal outcomes in public health facilities in Ethiopia’s Amhara Region. A non-equivalent control group post-test-only design was employed at public health facilities from August to November 2019. A total of 1048 participants were enrolled and assigned to intervention or control groups based on their choice of birth position. Participants who preferred the flexible sacrum birth position received the intervention, while participants who preferred the supine birth position were placed in the control group. Data were collected using observational follow-up from admission to immediate postpartum period. Log binomial logistic regression considering as treated analysis was used. Of the total participants, 970 women gave birth vaginally, of whom 378 were from the intervention group, and 592 were from the control group. The intervention decreased the chance of perineal tear and poor Apgar score by 43 and 39%, respectively. The flexible sacrum position reduced the duration of the second stage of labor by a mean difference of 26 min. Maternal and newborn outcomes were better in the flexible sacrum position.
Early Effect of 0.005% Estriol Vaginal Gel on Symptoms and Signs of Vulvovaginal Atrophy

Objectives This study aims to assess the effect of ultralow dose 0.005% estriol vaginal gel in women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). Methods In this prospective and multicenter single-arm study, efficacy was assessed by the evaluation of the epithelial maturation value (MV), vaginal pH, symptoms and signs of vulvovaginal atrophy. Tolerability, acceptability, and the effect on intimate relationships were also evaluated. Results We included 35 postmenopausal women with moderate-to-severe vaginal dryness. The most bothering symptom reported was vaginal dryness. The mean increase in the MV after 7 and 14 days of treatment were 22.1 (P < 0.001) and 39.9 (P < 0.001) points, with an increase in the superficial cells of 17.7 percentage points (pp) (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.9–27.4; P < 0.001) and 41.4 pp (95% CI, 28.2–54.6; P < 0.001) observed at the timepoints. Additionally, the pH decreased by 0.6 ± 0.7 (mean ± SD) at 7 days (P < 0.0001) and by 1.1± 0.8 at 14 days (P < 0.0001) from a baseline mean value of 6.3 ± 0.8. The severity of vaginal dryness (range, 0 [none] to 3 [severe]) was significantly reduced by a mean of 1.4 points (P < 0.0001) at 7 days and 2 points (P < 0.0001) at 14 days. Conclusions Ultralow dose 0.005% estriol vaginal gel produced a rapid improvement of most relevant symptoms and signs of GSM. This clinically meaningful response was observed from the initial days of treatment, confirming a fast onset and a progressive action.
Internal Audit Quality, Corporate Governance, and Corporate Social Responsibility: Determinants of Financial Reporting Quality

This study intends to examine what factors were determined the quality of financial statements. We examined the impact of internal audit quality, corporate governance, and CSR performances on financial reporting quality. Since financial reporting quality was difficult to observe directly, we used the accrual earnings management (EM) approach. Using 78 firm-year observations of 39 public companies listed in the LQ-45 index from 2019 to 2020, We employed Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression as our data analysis technique. The number of audit committees and board size became the measurement indicators of internal audit quality and corporate governance. Moreover, CSR ratings provided by CSR Hub measured CSR performances. Our findings indicated a positive relationship between internal audit quality and corporate governance on the quality of financial performance. It means that both internal quality and corporate governance become the determinant factors of financial reporting quality. On the other hand, CSR performances did not have any relationship with the financial reporting quality. This paper provides fruitful insight into the factors that driven financial reporting quality. Using different aspects of factors influencing the quality of financial statements, we initially offer valuable insight for business practitioners and potential investors to assess the quality of financial performance.
High-field study of normal-state magnetotransport in Tl2Ba2CuO6+δ

We present a study of in-plane normal-state magnetotransport in single-crystal ${\mathrm{Tl}}_{2}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{CuO}}_{6+\mathrm{\ensuremath{\delta}}}$ in 60-T pulsed magnetic fields. In optimally doped samples ${(T}_{c}\ensuremath{\sim}80$ K) the weak-magnetic-field regime extends to fields as high as 60 T, but in overdoped samples ${(T}_{c}\ensuremath{\sim}30$ K) we are able to leave the weak-field regime, as shown by the behavior of both the magnetoresistance and the Hall resistance. Data from samples of both dopings provide constraints on the class of model necessary to describe normal-state transport in the cuprates.
Prevalence and associations of depression, anxiety, and stress among people living with HIV: A hospital‐based analytical cross‐sectional study

An important but much less researched burden of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Sub‐Saharan Africa includes the associated mental health outcomes of living with the virus. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress, and describe some of the socio‐demographic associations among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Ghana.
Floral visitation to alien plants is non‐linearly related to their phylogenetic and floral similarity to native plants

1. Biological invasions are key to understanding ecological processes that deter - mine the formation of novel interactions. Alien species can negatively impact floral visitation to native species, but native species may also facilitate early es - tablishment of closely related alien species by providing a preadapted pollinator community. We tested whether floral visitation to alien species depended on phylogenetic relatedness and floral similarity to native species. 2. In a field experiment, we simulated the early stages of an invasion by adding potted alien plants into co- flowering native communities. We paired each alien plant with a host native plant, and recorded floral visitation to them for 3,068 hr (
Luteolin Treatment Ameliorates Brain Development and Behavioral Performance in a Mouse Model of CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder

CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD), a rare and severe neurodevelopmental disease caused by mutations in the X-linked CDKL5 gene, is characterized by early-onset epilepsy, intellectual disability, and autistic features. Although pharmacotherapy has shown promise in the CDD mouse model, safe and effective clinical treatments are still far off. Recently, we found increased microglial activation in the brain of a mouse model of CDD, the Cdkl5 KO mouse, suggesting that a neuroinflammatory state, known to be involved in brain maturation and neuronal dysfunctions, may contribute to the pathophysiology of CDD. The present study aims to evaluate the possible beneficial effect of treatment with luteolin, a natural flavonoid known to have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities, on brain development and behavior in a heterozygous Cdkl5 (+/−) female mouse, the mouse model of CDD that best resembles the genetic clinical condition. We found that inhibition of neuroinflammation by chronic luteolin treatment ameliorates motor stereotypies, hyperactive profile and memory ability in Cdkl5 +/− mice. Luteolin treatment also increases hippocampal neurogenesis and improves dendritic spine maturation and dendritic arborization of hippocampal and cortical neurons. These findings show that microglia overactivation exerts a harmful action in the Cdkl5 +/− brain, suggesting that treatments aimed at counteracting the neuroinflammatory process should be considered as a promising adjuvant therapy for CDD.
Increased Total Serum Bilirubin Level Post-Ibuprofen Use Is Inversely Correlated with Neonates’ Body Weight

Backgrounds: Drugs with the ability to displace bilirubin from albumin-binding sites subsequently leading to an increased bilirubin level may cause hyperbilirubinemia in neonates. Ibuprofen is commonly used to treat patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in neonates, yet the use of ibuprofen has drawn mixed conclusions. We performed a retrospective study to determine how ibuprofen use influences the total serum bilirubin (TSB) level in neonates of differing birth weight (BW). Materials and methods: Neonates (including premature infants) born at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan during January 2004 to July 2020 were entered into this study. We recorded the phototherapy duration, including the initial day and end day, and determined the average influence of one-day phototherapy on TSB level. The highest monitored TSB level post-ibuprofen use minus the one measured prior to ibuprofen use was considered the TSB change following ibuprofen administration in this study, and the above-mentioned influence of daily phototherapy on the TSB level was used to correlate the results. Neonates with any of the following conditions were excluded: those who received ceftriaxone, those with intraventricular hemorrhage, and those infected with TORCH. Results: The average daily influence of phototherapy on the TSB level of neonates was −0.20 (−0.57~0.05) mg/dL, −0.28 (−0.84~0.13) mg/dL, −0.75 (−1.77~0.10) mg/dL, and −1.60 (−2.70~−0.50) mg/dL in neonates with BWs of <1 kg, 1–1.49 kg, 1.5–2.49 kg, and ≥2.5 kg, respectively, indicating that neonates with a BW ≥ 1.5 kg experienced a greater reduction in TSB level following phototherapy as compared with those with a BW < 1.5 kg. The average TSB increase following ibuprofen use in neonates was 3.38 ± 2.77 mg/dL, 2.04 ± 2.53 mg/dL, and 1.34 ± 2.24 mg/dL in neonates with BWs of <1 kg, 1–1.49 kg, and ≥1.5 kg, respectively, i.e., an elevated TSB change with a decreased neonate BW was noted post-ibuprofen use (p = 0.026, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)). Conclusions: As ibuprofen use is correlated with an apparent increase in TSB level in neonates with a lower BW, especially in those with a BW < 1 kg, iv acetaminophen can be an appropriate alternative to ibuprofen for ELBW neonates for the treatment of PDA if they are experiencing severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
LeSpell - A Multi-Lingual Benchmark Corpus of Spelling Errors to Develop Spellchecking Methods for Learner Language

Spellchecking text written by language learners is especially challenging because errors made by learners differ both quantitatively and qualitatively from errors made by already proficient learners. We introduce LeSpell, a multi-lingual (English, German, Italian, and Czech) evaluation data set of spelling mistakes in context that we compiled from seven underlying learner corpora. Our experiments show that existing spellcheckers do not work well with learner data. Thus, we introduce a highly customizable spellchecking component for the DKPro architecture, which improves performance in many settings.
