Pre-Yanshanian geological events in the northern margin of the North China Craton and its adjacent areas

Recent researches on the northern margin of the North China Craton(NCC) and its adjacent areas have been mainly focused on the main pre-Yanshanian tectonic framework and the late Mesozoic tectonomagmatic evolution and lithosphere destruction.This paper gives a brief review on the previous research progress and future prospect in this aspect.The northern NCC has undergone multiple magmatic processes after its cratonization during ～1.8 Ga.Large volumes of 1.35-1.30 Ga mafic sill(dyke) swarms in northern NCC are related to the breakup of the NCC from the Columbia supercontinent and might indicate that the NCC was probably a member of Nena including the Laurentia(North America and Greenland),Siberia and Baltica cratons in the supercontinent.The evolution of the northern continental margin of the NCC was probably initiated at 1.35 Ga.During the Early Paleozoic,the Bainaimiao island arc belt was located to the south of the NCC.At the end of Early Paleozoic,the island arc was accreted to the NCC probably by arc-continental collision.EarlyMiddle alkaline complexes with emplacement ages ranging from 410-380 Ma in northern NCC are probably related to the extension after arc-continental collision between the NCC and the Bainaimiao arc terrane.From the Late Carboniferous(～320 Ma),the northern margin of the NCC became an Andean-style continental arc due to the southward subduction of the Paleo-Asian oceanic plate beneath the NCC.The southward subduction of the Paleo-Asian oceanic plate also occurred in the Xing-Meng orogenic belt during this period,which resulted in the formation of the Baolidao island arc.Final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean and collision between the Mongolian arc terrane and the NCC occurred during the latest Permian ～earliest Triassic period with post collison magmatism from ～250 Ma.During the Late Triassic ～Early Jurassic period,the northern NCC is characterized by strong thrusting.In the early Jurassic,the Archean-Paleoproterozoic basement metamorphic rocks were widely exposed.The tectonic framework of the northern margin of the NCC and its adjacent areas was preliminarily established prior to the Yanshanian tectonism and magmatism.
Long-Term Forest Hydrologic Monitoring in Coastal Carolinas

Long-term hydrologic data are essential for understanding the hydrologic processes, as base line data for assessment of impacts and conservation of regional ecosystems, and for developing and testing eco-hydrological models. This study presents 6-year (1996-2001) of rainfall, water table and outflow data from a USDA Forest Service coastal experimental watershed on a natural pine-hardwood forest in South Carolina (SC) and a small, 29-yr old intensively managed, drained pine forest owned by Weyerhaeuser Company in coastal North Carolina (NC). Results from this study showed a wide variation in annual outflows as affected by water table position, which is dependent upon both rainfall and evapotranspiration (ET). Although average annual rainfall was lower, the undrained watershed in SC had much shallower water table depths with higher frequent outflows compared to the drained NC watershed. The study emphasized the need for long-term rainfall and ET data and soil water properties in comparative assessments of the hydrology of poorly drained coastal watersheds.
MASTF-net: An EEG Emotion Recognition Network Based on Multi-Source Domain Adaptive Method Based on Spatio-Temporal Image and Frequency Domain Information

In the field of neuroscience, the electroencephalogram (EEG) is a crucial indicator of emotion. The EEG emotion recognition method based on domain adaptation (DA) has good objectivity and high time resolution and is the preferred method to study the brain’s response to emotional stimuli. However, due to the obvious instability of EEG emotion characteristics, it is difficult to predict the emotion corresponding to EEG signals of cross-subjects by a model that combines all source domains into a single source. In order to solve the problem of cross-subject emotion analysis, we propose an EEG emotion recognition net with a cross-subject multi-source adaptive method (MASTF-net), where EEG features of different subjects are regarded as different domains. Through analyzing the invariance of the target domain and the uniqueness of the source domain, this method realizes the emotional analysis of different objects according to the spatio-temporal images and frequency domain information. First, features of EEG image are extracted from frequency and time dimensions. Secondly, combined with the serialized EEG frequency characteristics of local brain regions, independent classification module are established for different domains to recognize the emotion feature distribution of different subjects. In addition, a feature extraction method of differential entropy(DE) data of EEG is proposed based on frequency band division, which can provide stable feature input for our network structure. Finally, experiments are conducted on the SEED dataset. The experimental results show that our method has better classification accuracy in the experiment on the problem of cross multiple subjects. MASTF-net is superior to other relevant methods and models in multi-source domain. On the issue of cross subject emotion analysis, the highest accuracy of our method can reach $88.19\%$ .
Early Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Versus Antibiotics Alone for Orbital Cellulitis from Acute Rhinosinusitis – A Retrospective Cohort Study

Background: Orbital cellulitis is a common complication of sinusitis that can cause blindness, intracranial infection, or even death. The standard treatment of orbital cellulitis from acute rhinosinusitis is to administer antibiotics and closely monitor the visual acuity. In this study, we explored the benefit of early endoscopic sinus surgery to improve the clinical outcome of the patients. Objective: To study the clinical outcomes of orbital cellulitis from acute rhinosinusitis patients who were treated with early endoscopic sinus surgery (within 48 hours after admission) versus antibiotics alone. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the patients who were admitted to the Otolaryngology Department, Khon Kaen Hospital, Thailand with orbital cellulitis from acute rhinosinusitis from January 2013 to May 2023. The demographic data, treatment received, and clinical outcomes were collected. Results: This study included 77 patients. All patients were treated with empirical intravenous antibiotics. The mean age for all patients was 43.7 years. The most common underlying diseases were diabetes and hypertension. The most common symptoms and signs were periorbital swelling and chemosis. The early endoscopic sinus surgery was performed in 44 patients while 33 patients received antibiotics only. At 48 hours after admission, one patient in the early endoscopic sinus surgery group (2.27%) and 12 patients in the antibiotics-only group (36.36%) had no clinical improvement. The odds ratio of improvement after early endoscopic sinus surgery was 24.57 (95% CI 2.99 to 201.80, p = 0.003). The intravenous antibiotics duration and length of stay were also shorter in the early endoscopic sinus surgery group (p = 0.020 and 0.065, respectively) Conclusions: Early endoscopic sinus surgery in orbital cellulitis from acute rhinosinusitis patients may improve clinical outcomes, shorter intravenous antibiotics duration, and hospital stay.
Empirical Investigation of User Attitudes toward Emerging Technologies in Healthcare: Using the SOHI Model

The advancement of technology and the internet have increased social media platforms' popularity in recent years. Intending to extend the social media healthcare information [SOHI] model, this study incorporates attitudes toward social media [ATTSM] to extend the model. The model was tested using SmartPLS in a quantitative study with 310 participants. The results reveal that performance expectancy of social media (PESM) has a positive and significant influence on ATTSM and satisfaction with social media (SATSM), respectively. The findings show that both ATTSM and SATSM are significantly impacted by social influence on social media (SISM). In addition, ATTSM and SATSM significantly affected the behavioural intention of social media (BISM). Furthermore, the outcome indicated that BISM has a major effect on how people use SOHI. By testing SOHI with the integration of ATTSM, it has been proven that attitude plays a critical role in users’ decisions to use social media for healthcare.
Risk‐cost‐benefit analysis of atrazine in drinking water from agricultural activities and policy implications

This study provides an improved methodology for investigating the trade‐offs between the health risks and economic benefits of using atrazine in the agricultural sector by incorporating public attitude to pesticide management in the analysis. Regression models are developed to predict finished water atrazine concentration in high‐risk community water supplies in the United States. The predicted finished water atrazine concentrations are then used in a health risk assessment. The computed health risks are compared with the total economic surplus in the U.S. corn market for different atrazine application rates using estimated demand and supply functions developed in this work. Analysis of different scenarios with consumer price premiums for chemical‐free and reduced‐chemical corn indicate that if the society is willing to pay a price premium, risks can be reduced without a large reduction in the total economic surplus and net benefits may be higher. The results also show that this methodology provides an improved scientific framework for future decision making and policy evaluation in pesticide management.
Psychosocial Correlates of Motivation for Abstinence Among People Who Used Drugs After Community Rehabilitation Treatment in China: A Structural Equation Modelling

Background Enhancing abstinence motivation of drugs is an effective strategy for the rehabilitation of people who used drugs and prevention of drug use relapse. However, little is known about its risk and protective factors. This study aimed to examine the potential intrapersonal (ie, impulsivity, depression, anxiety, sleep quality) and interpersonal factors (ie, perceived social support) of abstinence motivation among people who completed the community rehabilitation treatment. Methods A total of 222 participants (mean age = 43; male = 89.2%) were recruited from eleven communities located in Wenzhou, China. Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire in counselling room settings between April and June 2021. Results The proportions of participants with depression, anxiety, and poor sleep quality were 38.8%, 19.5%, and 21.2%, respectively. Age and family history of physical disease were significant background factors of abstinence motivation. Impulsivity, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and poor quality of sleep were negatively associated with abstinence motivation. Perceived social support from family and important others was positively associated with abstinence motivation. Structural equation modeling fitted the data well in which impulsivity and perceived social support were both associated with abstinence motivation indirectly through mental health problems. Conclusion The identified psychosocial factors should be addressed in community rehabilitation treatment and follow-up service to enhance abstinence motivation and the long-term effectiveness of the treatment.
Biocompatibility of 3D-Printed Dental Resins: A Systematic Review

Background: The biocompatibility of 3D-printed dental resins has become a critical concern in modern dentistry due to the increasing utilization of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques in dental applications. These resins serve as essential materials for fabricating dental prostheses, orthodontic devices, and various dental components. As the clinical adoption of 3D printing in dentistry grows, it is imperative to comprehensively assess the biocompatibility of these materials to ensure patient safety and dental treatment efficacy. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the existing body of literature on the biocompatibility of 3D-printed dental resins, thereby providing valuable insights into the potential biological risks associated with their use. Methods: The search strategy to identify relevant papers was implemented across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Google Scholar to identify relevant studies. Study selection was not limited to any particular timeframe of publishing. The revised CONSORT criteria were used to ascertain the authenticity and dependability of the review's outcomes. Comprehensive screening and eligibility assessment processes were conducted to select studies meeting predefined criteria. Biocompatibility-related parameters, including toxicity, mechanical properties, cell viability, and other relevant outcomes, were analyzed across selected studies using a standardized variable extraction protocol. Results: A total of 9 studies were included in the systematic review. The findings encompassed various aspects of biocompatibility assessment, including material composition, mechanical properties, cell viability, and cytotoxicity. Some studies revealed significant improvements in flexural strength and cell viability with specific resin formulations, demonstrating their potential for enhanced clinical utility. Conversely, certain resins exhibited cytotoxicity, while others displayed promising biocompatibility profiles. Conclusion: As per the assessed findings, material composition, post-processing techniques, and manufacturing methods emerged as critical factors influencing biocompatibility outcomes. While some resins exhibited favorable biocompatibility profiles, others raised concerns due to cytotoxicity. These findings emphasize the need for careful consideration when selecting and implementing 3D-printed dental resins, with a focus on materials engineering and comprehensive biocompatibility testing. Further research is warranted to elucidate the long-term biocompatibility and clinical implications of these materials.
Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma in the Female Genital Tract: Case Series with Literature Review and SEER Database Analysis

Introduction Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare and distinct subtype of soft tissue sarcoma. This study aims to describe the unique presentation of ASPS in the female genital tract. Methods Prognostic factors for cancer-specific overall survival (CSS) were evaluated using multivariate analyses. Results In our case series, we identified a novel TFE3-PRCC gene fusion in a 24-year-old unmarried patient with cervical ASPS who underwent fertility-sparing surgery and remained recurrence-free for 41 months. The other two patients underwent radical hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. At the time of writing, the two patients had been disease-free for 49 and 71 months, fluorescence in situ hybridization showed break-apart signals for the ASPL-TFE3 gene. Among the 55 cases with available information from the PubMed/Medline database, most presented with localized disease, and at the last follow-up, all patients were alive and 45 patients showed no evidence of disease. The 5-year CSS rate in the female genital tract cohort from SEER database was 86.2%. Multivariate analysis revealed that older age was associated with a 1.042-fold increased risk of cancer-specific mortality (HR=1.042, 95% CI 1.022–1.063, P < 0.001), involvement of soft tissue including the heart was associated with a 4.786-fold higher risk (HR=4.7868, 95% CI 1.681–13.623, P= 0.003), and regional infiltration and distant metastasis were associated with approximately 8.6-fold and 18-fold higher risk of cancer-specific mortality compared to local disease, respectively (HR=8.652, 95% CI 2.529–29.63, P = 0.001; HR=18.366, 95% CI 6.153–54.817, P< 0.001). Patients who underwent radical excision did not show reduced cancer-specific mortality compared to those who underwent local excision (HR=0.492, 95% CI 0.224–1.081, P = 0.078). Discussion Previously unrecognized genetic diversity exists in ASPS. Patients with ASPS in the female genital tract have the lowest likelihood of presenting with a distant disease and are associated with a more favorable survival outcome.
Examining the influence of a flipped classroom approach on the grammar performance of EFL learners: An empirical investigation

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficiency of a flipped classroom approach to enhance grammar skills among undergraduate English as a foreign language (EFL) student. The research was conducted at Qassim University in Saudi Arabia, with a sample of 44 participants from the Department of English Language and Translation. The participants were divided into two groups, experimental and control, with each group consisting of 22 students. The experimental group received 12 weeks of instruction using online video lectures and materials for learning English grammar, while the control group received traditional classroom instruction. The experimental group also engaged in activities such as presentations, role plays, and discussions during class time. Data was collected through a pre-test, a post-test, and an attitudinal questionnaire administered to the experimental group at the end of the study. The results of the post-test indicated that the experimental group performed significantly better than the control group (p < 0.05). Additionally, the questionnaire results revealed that the students had positive attitudes towards the flipped approach and found it to be engaging and effective. These findings suggest that the flipped classroom approach could be implemented for other language skills and sub-skills to enhance the learning experience of EFL students.
MODERATE MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCES IN CENTRAL GREECE (FOR THE YEAR 2008)

The small-to-moderate magnitude earthquake sequences offshore NE Evia island (Mantoudi, October 2008) and in central Greece, to the NW of the town of Amfiklia (December 2008) are studied in terms of their source parameters and strong shaking in nearby populated areas. Moment tensors of the strongest events of the sequences, their seismogenic faults and the distribution of slip on them are sought through the inversion of regional broadband waveforms. We then apply a forward modelling technique, which incorporates synthetic Green’s functions calculated for a 1D velocity model, previously proposed for the broader studied area, to get a first-order evaluation of the distribution of strong ground shaking around the hypocenters. The Mantoudi earthquake sequence is found to be associated to an offshore NESW trending normal fault that dips to the NW, with a considerable dextral strike-slip component. The Amfiklia earthquake sequence is related to a pure normal, E-W trending fault which dips to the south. This conclusion is drawn by both the distribution of aftershocks and the inversion process for the computation of slip on the seismogenic fault of the strongest event of the sequence (Mw5.1). Forward modelling of strong ground shaking based on event-specific moment tensor and slip distribution indicates low levels of expected ground motion in accordance with the limited observed damage.

Despite the fact that speaking proficiency is essential for learning a foreign language, the majority of students struggle with it. This research set intended to discover: (1) whether or not students who trained to use the picture sequence approach and those who studied the presenting strategy had significantly different speaking abilities, (2) whether or not there was motivated and uninspired students perform significantly differently in speaking tasks, (3) whether or not there was the interact of picture series and motivation on speaking achievement. There were 60 students as sample and used purposive sampling, quantitative with factorial design approach, the information was gathered utilizing a speaking test and a questionnaire, paired sample t-test, independent sample t-test, and two-way ANOVA. Results, there is a big gap in speaking ability. It was proved by the result of paired t-test with t obtained (-13.950) was lower than t- table (1.697) and the significant value (0.000) was lower than a (0.05). It indicated that students' speaking achievement was improved. Also, it was proved by the result of independent sample t-test with t obtained (4,516) was higher than t- table (1.697) and the significant value (0.000) was lower than a (0.05). It indicated that students' speaking achievement was improved. In addition, the result of two-way ANOVA showed that A significant value was obtained of 0.003 < 0.05, that there was a difference between experimental group and the control group's speaking proficiency among students was motivated and uninspired. A significant value was obtained of 0.010 <0.05, Consequently, it could be said that there was a difference in speaking achievement between students who were motivated and those who weren't. A significant value of 0.355 > 0.05 was obtained, so it could be concluded there was no interact between learning methods and student motivation towards speaking achievement.

Microbe Interactions within the Skin Microbiome

The skin is the largest human organ and is responsible for many important functions, such as temperature regulation, water transport, and protection from external insults. It is colonized by several microorganisms that interact with each other and with the host, shaping the microbial structure and community dynamics. Through these interactions, the skin microbiota can inhibit pathogens through several mechanisms such as the production of bacteriocins, proteases, phenol soluble modulins (PSMs), and fermentation. Furthermore, these commensals can produce molecules with antivirulence activity, reducing the potential of these pathogens to adhere to and invade human tissues. Microorganisms of the skin microbiota are also able to sense molecules from the environment and shape their behavior in response to these signals through the modulation of gene expression. Additionally, microbiota-derived compounds can affect pathogen gene expression, including the expression of virulence determinants. Although most studies related to microbial interactions in the skin have been directed towards elucidating competition mechanisms, microorganisms can also use the products of other species to their benefit. In this review, we will discuss several mechanisms through which microorganisms interact in the skin and the biotechnological applications of products originating from the skin microbiota that have already been reported in the literature.
