Romantic Attachment, Relationship Satisfaction, Internalized Sexual Stigma, and Motives for Parenthood in Italian Lesbian Women and Gay Men

This study examines romantic attachment, internalized sexual stigma, relationship satisfaction, and motives for parenthood in a sample of 313 Italian lesbian women (47.9%) and gay men (52.1%) aged 18–71 years (M = 36.2; SD = 11.9) and in same-sex relationships. The following hypotheses were tested: that romantic attachment is positively correlated with internalized stigma and motives to not have children, while it is negatively correlated with relationship satisfaction; that relationship satisfaction is negatively correlated with internalized stigma and motives for parenthood; that internalized stigma is negatively correlated with motives for parenthood; and that relationship satisfaction mediates the relationships between romantic attachment and motives for parenthood and between internalized stigma and motives for parenthood. The results strongly support the hypotheses. Furthermore, the results indicate that the lesbian participants reported lower levels of avoidance and internalized stigma and higher levels of relationship satisfaction and motives to not have children, and the participants in civil unions reported lower levels of anxiety and internalized stigma and higher levels of relationship satisfaction and motives to not have children. Taken together, our findings contribute to the growing body of research on LG parenthood and may inform social policy and psychological support for LG individuals pursuing parenthood.
Brain network characteristics between subacute and chronic stroke survivors in active, imagery, passive movement task: a pilot study

Background The activation patterns and functional network characteristics between stroke survivors and healthy individuals based on resting-or task-state neuroimaging and neurophysiological techniques have been extensively explored. However, the discrepancy between stroke patients at different recovery stages remains unclear. Objective To investigate the changes in brain connectivity and network topology between subacute and chronic patients, and hope to provide a basis for rehabilitation strategies at different stages after stroke. Methods Fifteen stroke survivors were assigned to the subacute group (SG, N = 9) and chronic group (CG, N = 6). They were asked to perform hand grasping under active, passive, and MI conditions when recording EEG. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity subscale (FMA_UE), modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Manual Muscle Test (MMT), grip and pinch strength, modified Barthel Index (MBI), and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were measured. Results Functional connectivity analyses showed significant interactions on frontal, parietal and occipital lobes connections in each frequency band, particularly in the delta band. The coupling strength of premotor cortex, M1, S1 and several connections linked to frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes in subacute subjects were lower than in chronic subjects in low alpha, high alpha, low beta, and high beta bands. Nodal clustering coefficient (CC) analyses revealed that the CC in chronic subjects was higher than in subacute subjects in the ipsilesional S1 and occipital area, contralesional dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and parietal area. Characteristic path length (CPL) analyses showed that CPL in subacute subjects was lower than in chronic subjects in low beta, high beta, and gamma bands. There were no significant differences between subacute and chronic subjects for small-world property. Conclusion Subacute stroke survivors were characterized by higher transfer efficiency of the entire brain network and weak local nodal effects. Transfer efficiency was reduced, the local nodal role was strengthened, and more neural resources needed to be mobilized to perform motor tasks for chronic survivors. Overall, these results may help to understand the remodeling pattern of the brain network for different post-stroke stages on task conditions and the mechanism of spontaneous recovery.
Transient Simulation and Optimization for the Integral Hoisting of Extra-Large Air Separation Cold Box

The cold box is a crucial component for cryogenic distillation in air separation units. With the increasing focus on energy conservation and emissions reduction, the integral hoisting of the cold box has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional cold box installation due to its highly efficient performance, short cycle time, and superior integration capabilities. Nonetheless, there are concerns surrounding the large size and weight of these boxes, as well as their eccentric structure, which can cause significant challenges during the integral hoisting process and pose safety hazards. To address these issues, this paper proposes a method for optimizing the lifting point of an extra-large cold box through dynamic simulation under actual working conditions. Firstly, a transient structure FEM simulation was carried out using multi-type mesh coupling based on the operating conditions of an extra-large cold box. Secondly, the posture and strength of the box during the hoisting process were analyzed to determine the most dangerous working conditions. Finally, the maximum equivalent stress of the trusses was employed as the fitness function of the particle swarm algorithm to optimize the lifting point position in the whole parameter range. The findings indicated that the most dangerous situation during the hoisting process occurred near the 0° working condition in the flip-up process and that optimizing the lifting point position based on this working condition significantly reduced the stress levels on the trusses.
Risk Factors of Mastitis and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli isolated from Cows Kept by Farmers in Githunguri Sub-County, Kenya

Mastitis poses a major challenge in dairy cattle farming as it leads to production and economic losses. Some mastitis causing bacteria have shown resistance to some antibiotic and the risk factors associated with the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are not well understood. The current study assessed the prevalence and risk factors associated with occurrence of mastitis in dairy cows kept by small-holder farmers in Githunguri Sub-County, Kenya. Further, susceptibility of the isolated Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli to commonly used antibiotics was evaluated. The study design was cross sectional where 91 milk samples from 40 farms were sampled from two wards in the study area. Structured questionnaires were used to assess risk factors of mastitis. The milk obtained from lactating cows was first subjected to California mastitis test (CMT) and then taken to microbiology laboratory for isolation and identification of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using standard bacteriological tests. Antibiotics sensitivity of the isolated bacteria was examined using disc diffusion method. Based on CMT, the overall prevalence of mastitis was 50.5%. The prevalence of mastitis was associated (p<0.05) with hygiene levels, being highest (69.2%) in the dairy cattle whose udder and leg hygiene were dirty. Highest prevalence of mastitis (p<0.05) was found in cows who were not milked regularly (52.4%) compared to those who were milked regularly (47.6%) (p<0.05). Cows which were cleaned using bore hole water had higher prevalence (53.3%) of mastitis compared to those cleaned using tap water (46.7%) (p<0.05). Cows that produced between 21-30 liters of milk per day had the highest prevalence (66.7%) of mastitis, while those producing between over 30 liters milk per day had lower prevalence (25%) (p<0.05). The prevalence of S. aureus and E. coli were 30.8% and 12.1%, respectively. Staphylococcus aureus isolates showed varied resistance to all the tested antibiotics with the highest resistance being against Oxytetracycline (57.7%) and Tetracycline (38.5%) but were sensitive to Vancomycin (100%), Ampicillin (100%), Chloramphenicol (96.2%), Penicillin (92.3%) and Gentamycin (92.3%). All the Escherichia coli isolates were sensitive to Chloramphenicol, Kanamycin, Gentamycin and Oxytetracycline but were resistant to Ampicillin (88.9%) and Vancomycin (88.9%) amongst other antibiotics. In conclusion, half of the sampled cows had mastitis whose risk factors was associated with poor hygiene and irregular milking of the cows. The isolated bacteria showed varied resistance to commonly used antibiotics. To reduce the prevalence of the mastitis and AMR, there is need for extension service workers to train farmers on improved management of the mastitis.
Impact of weather on population dynamics and infestation of Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee on brinjal

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of weather parameters on the infestations of shoot and fruit caused by brinjal shoot and fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis) (Lepidoptera; Pyralidae) during Kharif and Rabi seasons of two consecutive years. The findings showed that the shoot infestation began (5.35%) in 1st week of January and severed (30.85%) in 3rd week of February and 1st week of March in the first and second years. The shoot infestation was associated positively (r=0.267) with temperature but negatively with relative humidity and rainfall (r=-0.182 and -0.235). The fruit infestation (26.57% and 21.74%) began in the 1st week of February and gradually peaked (52.69 and 46.36%) in the 1st week of March. However, it was associated negatively with relative humidity (r=-0.773 and 0.747) and rainfall (r=-0.204 and -0.202) while positively with temperature during the rabi season of the first year. The same patterns of infestations were recorded in the next year. Compared to the Kharif seasons, shoot infestation started (7.65%) in 1st week of July and the highest (31.21%) in 3rd week of August. Additionally, it was associated negatively with temperature (r=-0.235) while positively with relative humidity and rainfall (r=0.060 and 0.677). The infestation of the fruit started (27.35 and 21.25%) in 1st week of August and steadily increased, reaching to peak (53.26 and 47.22%) in 1st week of September. Moreover, it was associated negatively with temperature (r=-0.500 and -0483) and positively with relative humidity (r=0.426 and 0.443). However, a negative association (r=-0.187 and -0.180) was found with rainfall. While in the second year, the same infestation patterns were recorded as the previous year, except rainfall was positively (r=0.0283 and 0.287) associated with fruit infestation. In conclusion, the weather affects the BSFB infestation significantly or non-significantly. This finding could be helpful for farmers in planning their cultivation practices for brinjal and pest management strategies to reduce the infestation caused by BSFB.
Exploring potential mental health spillover effects among caregivers and partners of youth in Sierra Leone: A qualitative study

Abstract Abstract Given the large mental health treatment gap in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in post-conflict settings like Sierra Leone, and the limited healthcare infrastructure, understanding the wider benefits of evidence-based mental health interventions within households is critical. This study explored potential mental health spillover effects – the phenomenon of beneficial effects among nonparticipants – among cohabitating caregivers and partners of youth who participated in an evidence-based mental health intervention in Sierra Leone. We recruited a sub-sample of cohabitating caregivers and partners (N = 20) of youth intervention participants; caregivers had enrolled in a larger study investigating indirect benefits of the evidence-based intervention in Sierra Leone (MH117359). Qualitative interviews were conducted at two time points to explore the following: (a) potential mental health spillover effects and (b) through which mechanisms spillover may have occurred. Two trained coders reviewed transcripts and analyzed qualitative data, assisted by MaxQDA. Qualitative findings suggested that spillover effects likely occurred and supported three potential mechanisms: decreased caregiving burden, behavior changes among Youth Readiness Intervention participants and improved interpersonal relationships. Mental health spillover effects may occur following youth intervention participation in a post-conflict LMIC. Investing in evidence-based services may offer indirect benefits that extend beyond those directly receiving services.

Towards the characterization of micro vortex generators effects on shock wave / turbulent boundary layer interaction using LES

We perform Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of the experimental configuration by Wang et al. (2012): a rake of microramp vortex generators (MVGs) were inserted upstream the SWTBLI. The configuration features MVGs protruding by 0.47 delta in a TBL at M = 2.7 and Re_theta = 3600. We first validate the flow solver and LES strategy on a baseline configuration without control and we retrieve the characteristic length scales and the low frequency motion (StL = 0.03) of the reflected shock foot. The configuration with MVGs exhibits successive regions alternating between either momentum deficit or momentum excess downstream the MVGs, with good agreement with the experiments. Classical wake recovery laws were retrieved as well as the frequency of St = 0.53 characteristic of the shedding of intermittent structures downstream the MVGs and we observe a significant 20% decrease of the separation bubble length.
NITROGEN FEEDING OF WINTER PEAS AT THE SPRING VEGETATION RE-COVERY STAGE

In a field experiment from 2020–2023 on the southern chernozems of the Odessa region of Ukraine, we studied the effect of the doses and timing of mineral nitrogen application when growing winter peas on the tuberization process and crop productivity. Mineral nitrogen in doses of 30, 45 and 60 kg/ha in the form of ammonium nitrate was applied in different development phases of winter peas under seedbed cultivation: foliar top dressing with urea solutions during the resumption of spring vegetation, the budding phase and the beginning of grain filling. Winter pea of the Enduro variety was sown annually on October 20, with a row spacing of 15 cm and a rate of 1.2 million germinating seeds per hectare. The previous crop was winter wheat. The conditions of the Southern Steppe of Ukraine for winter sown peas were shown for the first time. The introduction of mineral nitrogen at a rate of 30–60 kg/ha into the soil during sowing inhibited the formation of nodules from the active spring growth phase. The mass of nodules on the roots of pea plants decreased by 30–50% compared to the control variant without nitrogen application. The same norms of mineral nitrogen introduced in early spring during the resumption of vegetation on the leaf in the form of aqueous solutions did not have a negative impact on tuberization. The correlation coefficient between the dose of mineral nitrogen and the number and weight of nodules did not exceed 0.37, indicating a weak relationship between these indicators. The share of influence of mineral nitrogen norms did not exceed 13.7%. With this method of application, the nitrogen content in the vegetative mass of winter peas exceeded the control variant by 18–27%.
A Neural Network Model for Object Mask Detection in Medical Images

— In modern conditions in the field of medicine, raster image analysis systems are becoming more widespread, which allow automating the process of establishing a diagnosis based on the results of instrumental monitoring of a patient. One of the most important stages of such an analysis is the detection of the mask of the object to be recognized on the image. It is shown that under the conditions of a multivariate and multifactorial task of analyzing medical images, the most promising are neural network tools for extracting masks. It has also been determined that the known detection tools are highly specialized and not sufficiently adapted to the variability of the conditions of use, which necessitates the construction of an effective neural network model adapted to the definition of a mask on medical images. An approach is proposed to determine the most effective type of neural network model, which provides for expert evaluation of the effectiveness of acceptable types of models and conducting computer experiments to make a final decision. It is shown that to evaluate the effectiveness of a neural network model, it is possible to use the Intersection over Union and Dice Loss metrics. The proposed solutions were verified by isolating the brachial plexus of nerve fibers on grayscale images presented in the public Ultrasound Nerve Segmentation database. The expediency of using neural network models U-Net, YOLOv4 and PSPNet was determined by expert evaluation, and with the help of computer experiments, it was proved that U-Net is the most effective in terms of Intersection over Union and Dice Loss, which provides a detection accuracy of about 0.89. Also, the analysis of the results of the experiments showed the need to improve the mathematical apparatus, which is used to calculate the mask detection indicators.
The Role of Value Orientations and Media Attention in Predicting the Personal Norm and Public Intention to Consume Produce of Urban Farms

ABSTRACT In a bid to strengthen food security, cities are embracing urban farming to produce food. It is believed that urban farming is a sustainable means of cultivating crops for urban populations. Urban farms are equipped with advanced technology to optimize crop yield. Meanwhile, multiple media contents have reviewed the risks and benefits of urban farming for consumers. Applying an extended norm-activation model, this study examined how the relationships among technological optimism, biospheric values, attention to media content on the risks and benefits of urban farming, and the norm-activation constructs predict the intention to consume the produce of urban farms. Results of a cross-sectional survey conducted in Singapore (N = 1209) showed that technological optimism and biospheric values influenced attention to media content. These variables in turn influenced personal norms and intention to consume through the norm-activation constructs.
Uterine Malignancy: Pathological Pattern and Changing Incidence in a Teaching Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Introduction: Uterine carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies affecting women globally. It is the second most common gynecologic malignancy in impoverished countries and the most common in industrialized countries. Objective: To describe the histopathological patterns of uterine malignancies and their changing incidence at King Abdulaziz University Hospital from 2011 to 2020. Methodology: A retrospective study was conducted to analyze female patient record files from 2011 to 2020 who underwent uterine resection surgery at the King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Results: A total of 263 patients were included. The age ranged from 30 to 95 years old; median age of 61 years. The majority (71%) presented with the complaint of abnormal uterine bleeding. The most common histopathological diagnosis was endometrioid carcinoma (70%), followed by serous carcinoma (13.7%). The lowest reported uterine cancer diagnoses were in the year of 2011 with (<5%) of the cases while the highest were in the year of 2020. These findings demonstrate a variable incidence of endometrial carcinomas in the study population over the study period. With trends of an increasing incidence till 2018 followed by a marginal reduction in 2019 and 2020. Conclusion: The most frequent histopathological diagnosis of uterine cancer was endometrioid carcinoma followed by serous carcinoma, (70%) and (13.7%) respectively. Type 1 endometrial carcinoma was prevalent throughout the decade surpassing the type-2 endometrial carcinoma. The trend also shows a steady increase in the frequency of uterine cancer which is alarming and prompts further research to determine factors associated with and molecular classification of reported uterine cancer cases.
