Fe–Mg Isotopes Trace the Mechanism of Crustal Recycling and Arc Magmatic Processes in the Neo‐Tethys Subduction Zone

There has been intense debate on the mechanism of crustal recycling in subduction zones, and Fe–Mg isotopes may provide new constraints on this issue. This study reports Fe–Mg isotope data for mafic plutonic rocks from the eastern and central Gangdese arc, along with their associated trench sediments in southern Tibet. The δ26Mg values of the eastern Gangdese arc rocks show negative correlations with (87Sr/86Sr)i and (206Pb/204Pb)i values, but positive correlations with εNd(t) and εHf(t) values. Conversely, the δ56Fe values of the eastern Gangdese arc rocks show positive correlations with (87Sr/86Sr)i and (206Pb/204Pb)i values, but negative correlations with εNd(t) and εHf(t) values. The Mg and Fe isotopic compositions of the central Gangdese arc rocks are comparable with those of the eastern ones, but they do not correlate with Sr–Pb–Nd–Hf isotopic compositions. Notably, the Fe–Mg isotopic compositions of most arc rocks fall between those of local trench sediments and the mantle wedge. Combined qualitative analyses and quantitative simulations suggest that: (a) the Fe–Mg isotope variations observed in the eastern Gangdese arc rocks highlight the important role of source mixing between sediment‐derived melts and peridotite, whereas (b) the Fe–Mg isotope variations observed in the central Gangdese arc rocks reflect the superposition of carbonated serpentinite‐derived Mg‐rich fluids‐peridotite source mixing and source melting. The strong correlations between Fe–Mg isotope ratios and traditional geochemical tracers provide further evidence for the recycling of crustal materials in subduction zones via various types of slab‐derived fluids and melts.

Defining the length parameter in river bifurcation models: a theoretical approach

One‐dimensional models for river bifurcations rely on a nodal point relation that determines the distribution of sediments between the downstream branches. The most widely‐adopted nodal point relation describes the two‐dimensional topographic effects exerted by the bifurcation by introducing two computational cells, located just upstream the bifurcation node, that laterally exchange water and sediments. The results of this approach strongly depend on a dimensionless parameter that represents the ratio between the cell length and the main channel width, whose value needs to be empirically estimated. Previous works proposed calibrating this parameter on the basis of more complete two‐dimensional linear models, which directly solve the momentum and mass conservation equations. This study demonstrates that a full consistency between the one‐dimensional approach and the two‐dimensional models can be directly achieved by adopting different scaling for the bifurcation cell length, which results in a theoretically‐defined and constant dimensionless length parameter. Comparison with experimental observations reveals that this physically‐based scaling yields more accurate predictions of bifurcation stability and discharge asymmetry. This indicates that the proposed method may provide a more reliable and precise estimation of the cell length, potentially improving the performance of one‐dimensional models for bifurcation processes in rivers.
Association between Dietary Nutrient Intake and Depressive Symptoms among Japanese Postpartum Women: An Observational Cross-sectional Study

Background: Low dietary nutrient intake may be associated with depressive symptoms. However, few such studies have been conducted among postpartum women and results have been controversial. Purpose: To investigate the association between dietary nutrient intake and depressive symptoms among Japanese one-month postpartum women. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a university hospital in Tokyo from June 2015 to September 2016. We recruited healthy women with healthy babies at their postpartum check-up. Dietary nutrient intake was assessed using a validated, brief-type, self-administered diet history questionnaire. Depressive symptoms were defined as a score of ? 9 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify if dietary nutrient intake was associated with depressive symptoms. Variables with P-values < 0.10 in the bivariate analysis and factors identified as important, based on the literature review, were included. P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Data from 246 participants were analyzed. Depressive symptom prevalence was 19.5%. Participants with an educational level above university level comprised 69.1%, and 68.3% of participants had a household income of ? 7 million Japanese yen. In the multivariate analysis, dietary nutrient intake was not significantly associated with depressive symptoms. However, higher educational level and need for emotional support as assessed by midwives or nurses were significantly associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Dietary nutrient intake was not significantly associated with depressive symptoms in this high socioeconomic status population. Further research is needed to identify the relationship between dietary intake and depressive symptoms among more socioeconomically diverse postpartum women. Additionally, it may be important for postpartum depression support systems to pay attention to highly-educated women and to undertake continued follow-up for women who are assessed by midwives or nurses as needing emotional support either during pregnancy or while in the hospital.
Sensorial, textural, and rheological analysis of novel pistachio‐based chocolate formulations by quantitative descriptive analysis

Abstract Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to investigate the effects of pistachio oil (7.5 and 15%), xanthan gum (0 and 0.3%), distillated monoglyceride (0.5 and 1%), and cocoa butter (7.5 and 15%) on the sensorial descriptors of spread based on pistachio oil. The response variables were the most significant spread texture attributes: hardness, graininess, meltability, adhesiveness to spoon, adhesiveness to mouth, spreadability, fluidity, and oiliness. PCA revealed that the first two principal components explained 90% or more of the variance between the data. The first principal component was dominated by the descriptors' adhesiveness and hardness on the positive side and the descriptors' oiliness and fluidness on the negative side. The descriptor spreadability had a high positive loading on the second principal component. Herschel–Balkley and power law models were fitted to confirm the sensory evaluation results on different formulations. In the current research, the power law model seemed to be more accurate for fitting the samples. In terms of the selected texture attributes determined by the sensory evaluation, using component plot, the optimum combination of variables was found as follows: 15 pistachio oil, 7.5% cocoa butter, 0.3% xanthan gum, and 1% distilled monoglyceride that produced desirable spreads that mimic commercial spread.
Assessing the Risk Perception and Knowledge Regarding Cardiovascular Diseases in Patients With Hypertension and Diabetes in Central India: A Mixed-Methods Study

Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The perceptions of patients can be important in health-related behaviors and disease prognosis. Thus, this study aimed to determine the risk perception and knowledge of hypertensive and diabetic patients. Methodology The study was conducted among 264 patients with diabetes and/or hypertension. A sequential exploratory mixed-methods design was used, which initially identified themes related to risk perception about CVDs among patients. Knowledge and risk perception about CVDs were quantified using a survey derived from predefined themes. CVD knowledge scores were categorized into low, intermediate, and high scores, and the trends of risk perception were studied across this spectrum of cardiovascular knowledge. Results The age of the participants ranged from 30 to 78 years. Overall, 57.19% of the participants were males, whereas 42.80% were females. The qualitative results revealed that the sources of knowledge about CVDs, physical activity, and maintaining a nutritious diet included family, friends, and media. On the other hand, doctors played a significant role in influencing perceptions related to medications. The observation of complications related to CVDs and the fear of mortality played a pivotal role in shaping the perception regarding the seriousness of the condition. Perceived susceptibility was low if there was unawareness of protection through medications and lifestyle changes, but it was high with stress or heredity. The analysis of CVD knowledge and risk perception survey data revealed the median CVD knowledge score to be 12 (interquartile range = 7.5-13), which showed a significant association with education and socioeconomic status (p < 0.05). The distribution of risk perception scores across the spectrum of CVD knowledge scores depicted that participants with higher scores agreed more with CVDs being serious and their susceptibility to them. Conclusions Despite having high knowledge scores regarding CVDs, the study population had average risk perception. Patient risk perceptions should be evaluated as it affects the health-seeking behavior and prognosis of the disease.
The Role of Firms and Job Mobility in the Assimilation of Immigrants: Former Soviet Union Jews in Israel 1990-2019

IZA DP No. 16389 AUGUST 2023 The Role of Firms and Job Mobility in the Assimilation of Immigrants: Former Soviet Union Jews in Israel 1990–2019* We study how job mobility, firms, and firm-ladder climbing can shape immigrants’ labor market success. Our context is the migration of former Soviet Union Jews to Israel during the 1990s. This setting presents unique institutional features—including the lack of barriers posed by migration regulations—and rich data availability. Differential sorting across firms and differential pay-setting within firms both explain important shares of immigrant-native wage gap levels and dynamics. Immigrants are persistently more mobile than natives and faster at climbing the firm ladder. We uncover a novel, sizable job utility immigrant-native gap when incorporating non-wage amenities into the analysis. JEL Classification: J31, J61, F22
Couplages température-endommagement-perméabilité dans les sols et les roches argileux

Le stockage des dechets radioactifs dans les formations geologiques profondes peu permeables comme les argilites et les argiles plastiques est envisagee comme une solution possible et fait l'objet de nombreuses etudes depuis une trentaine d'annees. Dans le cadre du projet europeen TIMODAZ, l'accent a ete mis sur l'etude des effets d'une augmentation de la temperature engendree par les dechets exothermiques sur la zone endommagee autour d'une galerie souterraine de stockage. Dans le cadre de ce projet, une etude experimentale sur le comportement thermique de l'argile de Boom et de l'argile a Opaline a ete realisee. Afin de surmonter les difficultes reliees a l'etude experimentale des materiaux peu permeables en laboratoire, une nouvelle cellule triaxiale a court chemin de drainage a ete mise en œuvre. Les essais ainsi qu'une modelisation numerique montrent que la re-saturation des echantillons desatures par le processus d'excavation, transport, stockage et preparation peut etre realisee beaucoup plus rapidement par ce dispositif. Les essais de chargement mecanique et thermique en condition drainee (c'est-a-dire avec une surpression interstitielle engendree negligeable) peuvent etre realises egalement dans cette cellule avec des vitesses de chargement plus elevee comparee aux cellules triaxiales classiques. La possibilite de reactivation d'une bande de cisaillement par pressurisation thermique du fluide interstitiel dans un echantillon de l'argile de Boom est mise en evidence. On observe qu'un plan de rupture preexistant dans l'echantillon agit comme un plan de faiblesse pouvant etre reactive de facon preferentielle au moment de la rupture. La resistance au cisaillement obtenue sur le plan de rupture est inferieure a celle de materiau intact pour l'argile de Boom. Le comportement thermique de l'argile a Opaline a ete etudie a partir d'essais de chauffage en condition drainee et non drainee sur des echantillons satures. L'essai de chauffage draine montre un comportement thermo-elasto-plastique avec limite expansion/contraction a 65°C. Ce comportement est similaire au comportement des argiles faiblement surconsolidees. L'analyse des resultats de l'essai de chauffage non draine met en evidence que l'eau interstitielle dans l'argile a Opaline a un coefficient de dilation thermique plus important compare a celui de l'eau libre. Dans la gamme de temperatures etudiees (25°C-80°C), les mesures de permeabilite sur les echantillons endommages par un chargement deviatorique ne montrent aucun effet de l'endommagement sur la permeabilite, ce qui prouve la bonne capacite de scellement de l'argile de Boom et l'argile a Opaline saturees
A comparison of the burden of knee osteoarthritis attributable to high body mass index in China and globally from 1990 to 2019

Background Excess body mass index (BMI) plays a key role in the onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis (knee OA). However, the burden of knee OA attributable to high BMI at the global, Chinese, and regional levels have received far too little attention. The aim of this study is to provide evidence to support the design of policy by investigating long-term trends of years lived with disability (YLDs) for knee OA. Methods To illustrate the trends of YLDs for knee OA attributable to high BMI and the temporal trends of the YLDs rate by age, period, and cohort, Joinpoint regression software and age-period-cohort (APC) were used to analyze the YLDs data of knee OA from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019. Results In China, there were 549,963.5 YLDs for knee OA attributable to high BMI in 2019, which had increased by 460.7% since 1990. From 1990 to 2019, age-standardized disability-adjusted life year rate (ASDR) of knee OA attributable to high BMI trended upwards. The average annual percent change (AAPC) of knee OA attributable to high BMI in China and globe were 3.019, 1.419%, respectively. The longitudinal age curve of the APC model showed that the YLDs rates of knee OA due to high BMI increased with age, and YLDs rates were higher among females than males. The period rate ratios (RRs) of knee OA due to high BMI increased significantly. The cohort RRs of knee OA due to high BMI increased among those born between 1900 and 1970. The net drifts of knee OA attributable to high BMI in China and globe were above 1. Compared with global condition, the net drift values of knee OA attributable to high BMI in China was higher. Compared with females, males had higher net drift value. Countries with high socio-demographic index (SDI) have a much higher burden of knee OA caused by high BMI than countries with low SDI. Conclusion In China, high BMI is a substantial cause of knee OA, the incidence of which has been increasing since 1990. In addition, women and the elderly are more vulnerable to knee OA caused by high BMI. The Chinese government must take the long-term impact of high BMI on knee OA into account and implement effective public health policies and resort to interventions to reduce the burden as soon as possible.
Antibacterial Activity of Ethanol Extract, n-Hexane and Ethyl Acetate Fraction of Mundar (Garcinia forbesii) Pericarp

Garcinia forbesii is traditionally used as medicine and cosmetics. The aimed was to determine antibacterial activity of ethanolic extract and fraction of Garcinia forbesii pericarp against Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acne based on the diameter of inhibition zone, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum killing concentration (MBC). The results showed that the largest inhibition zone diameter against Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acne was indicated by ethyl acetate fraction of 5.08±1.020 mm and 14.33±3.326 mm. The MIC value of ethanol extract against Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acne bacteria was >1.5%, n-hexane and ethyl acetate fraction had the same results, namely against Staphylococcus aureus >1.5% and Propionibacterium acne at 1.5%. The MBC value was only obtained for fraction samples of Propionibacterium acne at concentration of 1.5%. It was concluded that ethyl acetate had strong antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acne based on the value of inhibition zone diameter, MIC, and MBC.
The response of glaciers and glacial lakes to climate change in the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau over the past three decades

With global warming, changes in glaciers and glacial lakes on the Tibetan Plateau call for a serious inspection. The Southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) is a typical monsoonal marine glacier area that is extremely vulnerable to climate change. It is affected by both humid and warm Indian Ocean currents. Outlines of glaciers and glacial lakes in SETP have been extracted from Landsat satellite images with an automatic extraction method based on image compositing with Google Earth Engine and Random Forest algorithm. Alongside the outlines, meteorological data have been collected from 1990 to 2021. The results show that since 1990 the glacier area of SETP has retreated by about 2165.33 km2 (~25.28%), the glacial lake area has increased by about 36.41 km2 (~21.45%), and their number has increased by 477 (~27.32%). The reliability and scientific validity of this study is proven by comparison with existing glacier inventories. By analyzing the meteorological data, the inverse correlation between the glacier area and temperature has been found. Despite decreases in cumulative precipitation, the glacial lake level rise and consequent area expansion have been observed. A fitting equation for the response pattern of glacier changes to temperature and precipitation change is presented and will provide a basis for future studies.
Variability and stability of the false discovery proportion

Much effort has been done to control the “false discovery rate” (FDR) when m hypotheses are tested simultaneously. The FDR is the expectation of the “false discovery proportion” FDP = V/R given by the ratio of the number of false rejections V and all rejections R. In this paper, we have a closer look at the FDP for adaptive linear step-up multiple tests. These tests extend the well known Benjamini and Hochberg test by estimating the unknown amount m0 of the true null hypotheses. We give exact finite sample formulas for higher moments of the FDP and, in particular, for its variance. Using these allows us a precise discussion about the stability of the FDP, i.e., when the FDP is asymptotically close to its mean. We present sufficient and necessary conditions for this stability. They include the presence of a stable estimator for the proportion m0/m. We apply our results to convex combinations of generalized Storey type estimators with various tuning parameters and (possibly) data-driven weights. The corresponding step-up tests allow a flexible adaptation. Moreover, these tests control the FDR at finite sample size. We compare these tests to the classical Benjamini and Hochberg test and discuss the advantages of them. MSC 2010 subject classifications: Primary 62G10; secondary 62G20.
Common Resistance Patterns in the Burn Unit of a Tertiary Care Center: A Retrospective Observational Study

Background Nosocomial bacterial infections have been one of the major concerns in the healthcare system. Burn patients, specifically severe cases, are at a high risk of developing bacterial infections compared to others. The most frequent cultures among burn patients are Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Acinetobacter baumannii. There is a scarcity of local data showing the most common infections in burn patients. This research aimed to determine the most common organisms that cause infections in burn unit patients and the antibiotic sensitivity and resistance patterns in King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in Jeddah. Methodology In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from patients’ files into a data collection sheet. All patients in the burn unit with a positive culture were included in the study using a convenient sampling technique from Best-Care, KAMC electronic medical records. Burn patients with negative culture results and patients who were admitted to the plastic surgery ward for reasons other than burns were excluded. For sample size calculation, convenience sampling of 109 patient medical charts, over the study period from June 2016 to November 2021, was selected for data extraction, analysis, and reporting. Results Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the leading cause of infection in burn patients comprising 33.9% of the cases. Enterobacter cloacae was the second most frequent cause of infection among burn patients (27.5%). Klebsiella pneumoniae was the third most frequent cause of infection (26.6%) while Acinetobacter baumannii was the fourth most frequent cause of infection in burn patients (22.9%). Conclusions Understanding the local epidemiology of bacterial infections will be crucial for the development of treatment guidelines designed to standardize initial antibiotic use, reduce hospital-acquired infections, and reduce drug resistance. More attention should be paid to gram-negative bacteria, specifically Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter Cloacae.
