Determinants of Future Physical Activity Participation in New Zealand Adolescents across Sociodemographic Groups: A Descriptive Study

This cross-sectional study aimed to explore various determinants of future physical activity (PA) participation in adolescents across sociodemographic groups. Sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity, deprivation status, physical disability status) were assessed in a national sample (n = 6906) of adolescents (12–17 years old) between 2017 and 2020 in New Zealand. The determinants of future PA participation chosen for analysis included current indicators of PA participation (i.e., total time, number of types, number of settings). We also examined widely recognised modifiable intrapersonal (i.e., physical literacy) and interpersonal (i.e., social support) determinants of current and future PA behaviour, along with indicators of PA availability issues. Older adolescents scored worse across all determinants of future PA than younger adolescents, with a key transition point appearing at 14–15 years of age. Māori and Pacific ethnicities scored best across each determinant category on average, with Asian populations scoring the worst. Gender diverse adolescents scored substantially worse than male and female adolescents across every determinant. Physically disabled adolescents scored worse than non-disabled across all determinants. Adolescents from medium and high deprivation neighbourhoods scored similarly across most determinants of future PA participation and both tended to score worse than people from low deprivation neighbourhoods. A particular focus on the improvement of future PA determinants is warranted within adolescents who are older, Asian, gender diverse, physically disabled, and from medium to high deprivation neighbourhoods. Future investigation should prioritise the longitudinal tracking of PA behaviours over time and develop interventions that affect multiple future PA determinants across a range of sociodemographic backgrounds.
Determinant Factors of Mortality in Pre-elderly and Elderly Patients With COVID-19 in Jakarta, Indonesia

Objectives This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mortality in pre-elderly and elderly individuals in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods We employed a case-control study design, utilizing secondary data from the Epidemiology Surveillance, Immunization Prevention, and Disease Control Sections of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Health Office, collected from December 2020 to January 2021. The study included 188 cases and an equal number of controls. Cases were COVID-19 patients confirmed to have died, as reported by hospitals and communities and subsequently verified by healthcare workers. Control subjects were patients who completed a 14-day isolation period and had been officially declared recovered by healthcare professionals. The dependent variable was the mortality of COVID-19 patients in the January 2021 period. The independent variables consisted of demographic data (age and sex), clinical symptoms (cough, runny nose, anosmia, diarrhea, headaches, abdominal pain, muscle pain, and nausea/vomiting), and comorbidities (hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes). Multivariate analysis was conducted using multiple logistic regression. Results The multiple logistic regression analysis revealed several factors associated with COVID-19 fatalities in Jakarta: age of 60 years or older (odds ratio [OR], 4.84; 95% CI, 3.00 to 7.80), male (OR, 2.38; 95% CI, 2.41 to 3.68), dyspnea (OR, 3.93; 95% CI, 2.04 to 7.55), anosmia (OR, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.04 to 0.46), and heart disease (OR, 4.38; 95% CI, 1.04 to 18.46). Conclusions The control and prevention of COVID-19 among elderly individuals require particular vigilance. When a COVID-19 case is detected within this demographic, prompt treatment and medication administration are crucial to mitigate the presenting symptoms.
Association between cutaneous manifestations and clinical features of IgA vasculitis

Introduction: iga vasculitis (igav) is the most common systemic vasculitis in childhood. Purpuric rash is a man-datory criterion for diagnosing igav, it is mostly localized on the lower extremities and gluteal region, although it can also appear atypically affecting the face, trunk and upper extremities. in the most severe cases, ulcerations, necrosis and bullae can be present. Objectives: to evaluate the characteristics of cutaneous manifestations in patients with igav and to examine its association with clinical features. Subjects and methods: Retrospective analysis of data from patients with igav diagnosed and treated at the Referral centre for Paediatric and adolescent Rheumatology of the ministry of health of the Republic of croatia, in the period from january 2009 to December 2021. Results: igav was diagnosed in 234 patients, 124 boys and 110 girls with the median (range) age at the time of diagnosis of 6.5 (4.5–8.2) years. all patients had a purpuric rash, and in 127 of them (54.3%) igav began with a rash. cutaneous manifestations were most often presented in the form of palpable purpura and/or petechiae (87.2%) and in all patients were localized on the lower extremities. in 103 patients (44%) purpuric rash spread further to the upper extremities, trunk and/or face. at least one skin relapse occurred in 47 patients (20.1%). The most severe cutaneous manifestations which included ulcerations and necrosis developed in 11 patients (4.7%). Patients with cutaneous manifestations spread above the waist had a more statistically significant gastrointestinal involvement compared to patients with cutaneous manifestations affecting the lower extremities and gluteal region (50.5% vs. 36.6%, p=0.033), higher incidence of iga vasculitis nephritis (igavn) (31.1% vs. 19.8%, p=0.048) and were more frequently treated with systemic glucocorticoids (68% vs. 52.7%, p=0.018) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (14.5% vs. 5.3%, p=0.016). almost all patients with ulcerations and necrosis required treatment with systemic glucocorticoids compared to the rest (90.9% vs. 57.8%,p=0.031). Conclusion: We observed that patients with purpuric rash spread above the waist have more frequently affected gastrointestinal system and a higher incidence of igavn. The prevalence of ulcerations and necrosis in igav is less common than the standard purpuric rash and this group of patients required systemic glucocorticoid therapy.
Turbulence modulation in particle -laden flows: The derivation and validation of a dissipation transport equation

by John D. Schwarzkopf, Ph.D. Washington State University December 2008 Chair: Prashanta Dutta In this research, a volume averaged dissipation transport equation is developed for particle laden turbulent flows. The derivation process identifies an additional production of dissipation term that is due to the presence of particles and three new coefficients. The coefficient for the production of dissipation due to the presence of particles was found from experimental data involving homogeneous turbulence generation by particles. The coefficient for the dissipation of dissipation was found to contain an additional term due to the presence of particles within a homogeneous turbulent decay. The coefficient associated with the production by mean velocity gradients was found analytically, but the data needed to determine this coefficient was lacking the necessary parameters. A numerical model was developed and compared to the experimental data of particle laden turbulent channel flow. The first stage of the model shows promise and agrees reasonably well with the experimental data.
Gravitational lensing of the SNLS supernovae

Type Ia supernovae have become an essential tool of modern observational cosmology. By studying the distance-redshift relation of a large number of supernovae, the nature of dark energy can be unveiled. Distances to Type Ia SNe are however affected by gravitational lensing which can induce systematic effects in the measurement of cosmology. The majority of the supernovae is slightly demagnified whereas a small fraction is significantly magnified due to the mass distribution along the line of sight. This causes naturally an additional dispersion in the observed magnitudes. There are two different ways to estimate the magnification of a supernova. A first method consists in comparing the supernova luminosity, which is measured to about 15% precision, to the mean SN luminosity at the same redshift. Another estimate can be obtained from predicting the magnification induced by the foreground matter density modeled from the measurements of the luminosity of the galaxies with an initial prior on the mass-luminosity relation of the galaxies A correlation between these 2 estimates will make it possible to tune the initially used mass-luminosity relation resulting in an independent measurement of the dark matter clustering based on the luminosity of SNe Ia. Evidently, this measurement depends crucially on the detection of this correlation also referred to as the lensing signal. This thesis is dedicated to the measurement of the lensing signal in the SNLS 3-year sample.
Clinical Features of COVID-19 Vaccine-Associated Autoimmune Hepatitis: A Systematic Review

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an inflammatory liver disease wherein the body’s immune system instigates an attack on the liver, causing inflammation and hepatic impairment. This disease usually manifests in genetically predisposed individuals and is triggered by stimuli or environments such as viral infections, environmental toxins, and drugs. The causal role of COVID-19 vaccination in AIH remains uncertain. This review of 39 cases of vaccine-related AIH indicates that female patients above the age of 50 years or those with potential AIH risk factors may be susceptible to vaccine-related AIH, and the clinical features of vaccine-associated AIH are similar to those of idiopathic AIH. These features commonly manifest in patients after the first dose of vaccination, with symptom onset typically delayed by 10–14 days. The incidence of underlying liver disease in patients with potential health conditions associated to liver disease is similar to that of patients without preexisting illnesses. Steroid administration is effective in treating vaccine-related AIH-susceptible patients, with most patients experiencing improvement in their clinical symptoms. However, care should be taken to prevent bacterial infections during drug administration. Furthermore, the possible pathogenic mechanisms of vaccine-associated AIH are discussed to offer potential ideas for vaccine development and enhancement. Although the incidence of vaccine-related AIH is rare, individuals should not be deterred from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, as the benefits of vaccination significantly outweigh the risks.
Sampled Signal Description That Is Used in Calculation of Spectrum of This Signal Needs Revision

— In this paper, we show why the descriptions of the sampled signal used in calculation of its spectrum, that are used in the literature, are not correct. And this finding applies to both kinds of descriptions: the ones which follow from an idealized way of modelling of the signal sampling operation as well as those which take into account its non-idealities. The correct signal description, that results directly from the way A/D converters work (regardless of their architecture), is presented and dis-cussed here in detail. Many figures included in the text help in its understanding.

We consider the second-order quadratic rational difference equation xn+1 = α+ βxnxn−1 + γxn−1 A+Bxnxn−1 + Cxn−1 , n = 0, 1, 2, . (1) with nonnegative parameters and with arbitrary nonnegative initial conditions such that the deminator is always positive. These equations are research in papers [1; 2]. The authors are investigate the global stability character, the periodic nature, and the boundedness of solutions of a rational difference equation (1), and they give several open problems and conjuctures about these equations. These results offer for the development of the basic theory of the global behavior of solutions of nonlinear defference equations. In our talk we discuss about difference equation xn+1 = β + 1 xnxn−1 , n = 0, 1, 2, . (2) We would like to prove that every positive solution of equation (2) has a finite limit. Our results continue the development of the basic theory of the global behavior of solutions of nonlinear difference equations.

The conclusion from the results of the research carried out at Subulussalam City Hospital, it can be concluded that the p-value <0.05 has a significant relationship to the incidence of asphyxia in newborns which has been tested based on the chi square test SPSS analysis. It is recommended that it is necessary to increase socialization by health workers to mothers regarding diseases and complications that can arise during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum as a preventive measure against the occurrence of asphyxia in newborns.
An Exploration of Online Test Anxiety During COVID-19: EFL Learners’ Perspectives

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of Saudi EFL learners towards online test anxiety during COVID-19 outbreak, which was caused by the sudden transition from face-to-face testing to online testing. Method: This study employed a survey-research design, utilizing a close-ended and open-ended questionnaire to collect data from 77 English major students at the University of Bisha. At the time of data collection, these participants had already taken online exams for at least three semesters during the pandemic. Results: The results indicate that students' test anxiety was higher before taking the online test but gradually decreased during and after the test, showing a statistically significant difference with p = 0.022. The study also reveals that students with slow internet connections experienced more anxiety than those with fast internet services (p < 0.001). Additionally, female students exhibited higher levels of anxiety compared to males (p = 0.027). Conclusions: The study concludes that the overall average anxiety level before, during, and after test-taking is 2.78, indicating that the participants' online test anxiety level is moderate.
Anxiety and Violence Against Nurses in Turkey During The COVID-19 Pandemic

During the pandemic process, nurses felt more anxious and nervous compared to other health professionals and were frequently exposed to verbal-emotional-psychological violence. This study was conducted to determine the anxiety levels of nurses, their exposure to violence, and the factors affecting the anxiety and witnessed violence of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. The descriptive study data were collected in the period between October 2020 and March 2021 via the online questionnaire published on the Turkish Nurses Association’s website. The study sample consisted of 3,230 nurses. In this study, it was found that the majority of participants in the study were women (83,5%), working 24-hour shifts (49.3%) at hospitals run by the Ministry of Health (68.7%), caring for COVID-19 patients (82.1%). Nurses experienced very high levels of anxiety and were exposed to violence from patients, family members, or other healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, this study shows that nurses experienced high anxiety levels and increased exposure to violence in association with the high number of patients to provide care for, long working hours, being forced to work despite COVID-19 symptoms, working with COVID-19 patients, the fear of infecting family members, having difficulties in caring for family members, financial losses, and the unavailability of changing rooms. In line with the results of this study, the responsibility range of managers and decision-makers is wide in protecting the physical and mental integrity of nurses, anticipating, and addressing their needs and resolving their problems, and managing the nurse manpower and the supply of PPE in accordance with standards so that nurses can provide qualified and safe nursing practices. The findings of this study will help to ensure that nursing care is safe, consistent, and competent, as well as guide future planning.
Biosynthesis of Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles Using Opunita ficus-indica and Their Antifungal Effect Against Aspergillus Niger

: Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO-NPs) were synthesis via green method using Opunita ficus indica extract as reducing and covering agent. The optimal formula for the preparation of MgO-NPs was determined by UV-Vis and DLS ( Opunita ficus -indica extracted by distilled water and ethanol solvent, magnesium nitrate salt (1mM), stirred at 70 °C for 24 h with pH= 9). UV-Vis analysis showed a peak at 300 nm, while DLS measured the hydrodynamic diameter of the nanoparticles. FTIR results suggested that the polysaccharides, phenols and amines present in the extract might have been involved in the formation of MgO-NPs from Mg (NO3)2 as the reducing agent. Image J was utilized to analyze the SEM results and determine the size, which was on average 99 nm, the shape of the nanoparticles was spherical, and EDX spectrum confirmed the presence of magnesium (Mg). It was found that MgO-NPs are highly toxic against Aspergillus niger . Which showed a gradual inhibitory effect when using the concentration of 0.5% and 1.25%, and the inhibitory ability was 66.6%, 100% respectively, when using the poisoned food technique.
Associations between Sociodemographic and Behavioral Variables, and Educational Practices on Mother-Child Dyads

The association between the sociodemographic variables of children with behavior problems and mothers with maternaldepression is widely acknowledged in the literature. However, there is a lack of studies addressing the association of thesevariables with maternal parenting practices in typical samples, i.e., children without behavior problems and mothers withoutcurrent depression indicators. The aim of this study was to identify associations between the sociodemographic variables ofchildren and mothers with the mothers’ parenting practices and children’s behavioral indicators (resources and problems)in a sample of children without behavior problems and mothers without current depression indicators. This quantitative,cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study addressed 46 biological mothers (married or in a stable relationship)and their children. A sociodemographic questionnaire and validated instruments addressing child behavior, maternal mentalhealth, and parenting practices were applied. Findings showed that the mothers did not present mental health problems (e.g.,behavior problems or maternal depression), but a) they presented deficits of positive practices and an excess of negativepractices, and the children displayed deficits in social skills and behavior problems; b) there was an association betweenpositive practices and the children’s social skills and between negative practices and children’s behavior problems; c) thefrequency of positive and negative practices was equivalent among boys and girls, and d) boys more frequently presentedbehavior problems while school-aged children more frequently presented social skills deficits. The results indicate that evennon-clinical samples may present harmful parenting practices, excess negative practices, and deficits in positive practices.Hence, there is a need for timely interventions to prevent behavior problems among children and maternal depression arising from conflicting interactions in the parenthood sphere.
Sea Ice and Current Response to the Wind: A Vector Regressional Analysis Approach

Abstract The authors describe a two-dimensional (vector) regressional model for examining the anisotropic response of ice drift and ocean current velocity (“drift velocity”) to surface wind forcing. Illustration of the method is limited to sea ice response. The principal mathematical and physical properties of the model are outlined, together with estimates of the “response matrices” and the corresponding “response ellipses” (drift velocity response to a unity wind velocity forcing). For each direction, φ, of the wind vector the method describes a corresponding “wind factor” α(φ) (relative drift speed) and “turning angle” θ(φ) (the angle between the drift velocity and wind vector). The major ellipse axis corresponds to the direction of the “effective wind” (φ = φmax) and the minor axis to the direction of the “noneffective” wind. The eigenvectors of the response matrix define wind directions that are the same as the wind-induced drift velocity directions. Depending on the water depth and offshore distance.
Roles of Increase Fatty Acid Utilization in the Pathological Pathway of Heart Failure in Diabetes

This paper reviews the molecular mechanism that led diabetic patients to its major complication heart failure. While AGEs, RAAS, impaired Ca2+ handling, and ER stress also contribute to the progress of diabetic cardiomyopathy, this review emphasizes on the effect of increasing fatty acid (FA) uptake and utilization since it interconnects with other crucial causes of diabetic cardiomyopathy such as lipotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and myocardial apoptosis. The review started with the root of increasing myocardial FA metabolism, which is the overactivation of a transcription factor called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR). Then, the paper detailedly reviews the molecular mechanism of how increasing FA oxidation and impaired glucose oxidation leads to lipid accumulation, apoptosis, and cardiac inefficiency, which ultimately causes contractile dysfunction, left ventricular hypertrophy, and heart failure.
