Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings and Clinical Features of COVID-19 Vaccine-Associated Myocarditis, Compared With Those of Other Types of Myocarditis

Background To compare the clinical and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging findings of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine-associated myocarditis (VAM) with those of other types of myocarditis. Methods From January 2020 to March 2022, a total of 39 patients diagnosed with myocarditis via CMR according to the Modified Lake Louise criteria were included in the present study. The patients were classified into two groups based on their vaccination status: COVID-19 VAM and other types of myocarditis not associated with COVID-19 vaccination. Clinical outcomes, including the development of clinically significant arrhythmias, sudden cardiac arrest, and death, and CMR imaging features were compared between COVID-19 VAM and other types of myocarditis. Results Of the 39 included patients (mean age, 39 years ± 16.4 [standard deviation]; 23 men), 23 (59%) had COVID-19 VAM and 16 (41%) had other types of myocarditis. The occurrence of clinical adverse events did not differ significantly between the two groups. As per the CMR imaging findings, the presence and dominant pattern of late gadolinium enhancement did not differ significantly between the two groups. The presence of high native T1 or T2 values was not significantly different between the two groups. Although the native T1 and T2 values tended to be lower in COVID-19 VAM than in other types of myocarditis, there were no statistically significant differences between the native T1 and T2 values in the two groups. Conclusion The present study demonstrated that the CMR imaging findings and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 VAM did not differ significantly from those of other types of myocarditis during hospitalization.
The Effects of Parameter Settings on Triggering Time and Climb Rate during Lean-Premixed Combustion Thermoacoustic Oscillations

This study theoretically explored the effects of parameter settings on thermoacoustic oscillations with a low-order model. Three factors were explored—combustor length, inlet gas temperature and thermal power. The research findings indicate that optimizing the parameter settings can yield better thermoacoustic oscillation suppression results. The sound pressure amplitude decreased from 3.2 × 105 Pa to 2.1 × 105 Pa as the combustor length increased from 1.2 m to 6.0 m. The triggering time increased from 0.32 s to 0.91 s when the combustion chamber length increased. The climb rate declined from 23.38 × 105 Pa/s to 3.75 × 105 Pa/s when the combustor length was elongated. The sound pressure amplitude decreased from 3.44 × 105 Pa to 2.4 × 105 Pa as the gas temperature rose from 0 to 100 °C. The triggering time and climb rate variation tendency were similar when the gas temperature increased—both declined as the gas temperature rose. The sound pressure amplitude experienced a slight fluctuation when the thermal power rose. However, the triggering time decreased from 0.26 s to 0.043 s when the thermal power improved. The climb rate increased from 18.72 × 105 Pa/s to 27.65 × 105 Pa/s when the thermal power rose. The oscillation frequency presented was completely different in three cases that had different wavelengths and oscillation intensities. The triggering time and climb rate fluctuated extensively in varying conditions, and the above two factors were interrelated and contradictory to each other when thermoacoustic oscillation was excited. This study explored parameters’ effects on triggering time and climb rate, thereby providing references for constructing a model-based control system for thermoacoustic oscillation feedback control.
Halal product awareness and trust from students perspectives: The role of gender

This research aims to investigate the impact of awareness of halal products on consumer trust levels by considering the moderating role of gender. The research method involves regression analysis to evaluate the relationship between these variables. The research sample consisted of 126 respondents randomly selected from the consumer population. The main findings show that awareness of halal products positively and significantly impacts consumer confidence levels. The regression results confirm that the higher the consumer's awareness of the halal product, the higher the consumer's trust in the product. Moderation analysis confirms that female consumers strengthen the positive relationship between awareness of halal products and consumer trust, compared to male consumers.
A STUDY OF INDIGENOUS TOURISM PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CASE STUDY: THE BADUY, SOUTH BANTEN, WEST JAVA

Tourism is believed to deliver both positive and negative impact. This phenomenon occurs in one of the indigenous villages of Baduy tribes, where the village is “isolated” from modern development of urban areas. This study used several variables that written in an interview manuscript, created based on some literatures about indigenous tourism product development; tourism impact perspective, and tourists motivation. The data have been collected are then combined using two approaches both quantitative and qualitative or known as a “multi-method”. Data obtained through questionnaires was presented by the chart (in the form of quantitative), and described into a sentence. While the interview data will be put into the interview manuscript, which subsequently combined with the results of questionnaires and observations. This study found that the Baduy village has a variety of potential that can be packaged as a tourism product, such as: have the cultural and natural attractions that still maintained its authenticity, a location away from the frenetic urban communities began receiving tourism activities. Surveys in this study also found that, variables such as cultural tourism products, local communities and nature is considered very important and can attract urban travelers. This is evidenced by the results of the questionnaire, where tourists visiting Baduy village, dominated by teenagers who mostly still a student and travel in groups. While the motivation of their visit was mostly to leisure in a way out of the urban routine. The effects of tourism activities on the socio-cultural environment, the economy and the environment have not seen significantly. Advice and feedback to the Baduy Tourism Village are to strengthen the rules and regulations village environment so as to anticipate the changes that can occur if the pressure changes constantly occur tourism at the Tourism Village Baduy. In addition, increase the role of local communities should also be improved by involving the community in organizations such as the travel conscious group.
Understanding the podocyte immune responses in proteinuric kidney diseases: from pathogenesis to therapy

The glomerular filtration barrier, comprising the inner layer of capillary fenestrated endothelial cells, outermost podocytes, and the glomerular basement membrane between them, plays a pivotal role in kidney function. Podocytes, terminally differentiated epithelial cells, are challenging to regenerate once injured. They are essential for maintaining the integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier. Damage to podocytes, resulting from intrinsic or extrinsic factors, leads to proteinuria in the early stages and eventually progresses to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Immune-mediated podocyte injury is a primary pathogenic mechanism in proteinuric glomerular diseases, including minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, and lupus nephritis with podocyte involvement. An extensive body of evidence indicates that podocytes not only contribute significantly to the maintenance of the glomerular filtration barrier and serve as targets of immune responses but also exhibit immune cell-like characteristics, participating in both innate and adaptive immunity. They play a pivotal role in mediating glomerular injury and represent potential therapeutic targets for CKD. This review aims to systematically elucidate the mechanisms of podocyte immune injury in various podocyte lesions and provide an overview of recent advances in podocyte immunotherapy. It offers valuable insights for a deeper understanding of the role of podocytes in proteinuric glomerular diseases, and the identification of new therapeutic targets, and has significant implications for the future clinical diagnosis and treatment of podocyte-related disorders.
How to Deal With an Unreconstructable Distal Radius Fracture

The most prevalent long bone fracture is that of the distal radius, and it affects all age groups. These fractures can present after low-energy or high-energy trauma, and their configuration often varies depending on the mechanism of injury. Their management can be operative or non-operative, and the scientific literature is abundant in studies comparing these two treatment modalities. There is also a healthy scientific debate as to the indications that should guide surgery for these injuries. A male patient sustained a high-energy fracture to his distal radius and presented to our unit soon after the injury. His fracture presented significant surgical challenges due to its complexity. It was stabilised surgically, and the patient recovered good function after rehabilitation. This case aims to demonstrate a surgical treatment protocol and the relevant surgical considerations when dealing with significant injuries, such as the one presented in this paper, where traditional fixation techniques may not yield a satisfactory outcome.
Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making: Methods and Applications

Decision makers are often faced with several conflicting alternatives [1]. How do they evaluate trade-offs when there are more than three criteria? To help people make optimal decisions, scholars in the discipline of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) continue to develop new methods for structuring preferences and determining the correct relative weights for criteria. A compilation of modern decision-making techniques, Multiple Attribute Decision Making: Methods and Applications focuses on the fuzzy set approach to multiple attribute decision making (MADM). Drawing on their experience, the authors bring together current methods and real-life applications of MADM techniques for decision analysis. They also propose a novel hybrid MADM model that combines DEMATEL and analytic network process (ANP) with VIKOR procedures.
Negative influence of a mediatised video on low back pain-related misbeliefs and attitudes in the general population

Background: Low back pain (LBP)-related misbeliefs are a risk factor for chronicity and thereby requires further attention. Objective: To assess the influence of a video clip on low back pain (LBP)-related misbeliefs in the general population and examine whether participants intended to change their behavior to protect their back after viewing it. Method: French-speaking adults within the general population were recruited through advertisements and asked to complete a self‐administered questionnaire online from the January to April 2021. The questionnaire asked about socio-demographic information and back pain beliefs (the 10-item Back-PAQ), then invited participants to watch a video clip conveying negative messages. Immediately after viewing, participants indicated their degree of agreement with the messages conveyed, completed the Back-PAQ a second time and indicated whether they planned to change their behavior after watching the video. Changes in mean Back-PAQ score after viewing the video and the percentage of participants planning to protect their backs more were investigated. Influence of LBP history was also collected. Results: 1338 participants were included. The initial mean Back-PAQ score was high and increased significantly after viewing the video (Cohen d: 0.42), indicating an increase in negative beliefs. This change was greater than the minimum detectable change for more than 10% of participants. In total, 55% of respondents reported that they would protect their backs more after watching the video. Change in Back-PAQ score post viewing was not influenced by pain history. Conclusions: This study shows that a video clip shown on social media that conveyed negative messages about LBP reinforced LBP-related misbeliefs and may promote maladaptive behavior in a significant number of individuals. This study also confirms the prevalence of such misbeliefs in the general population and thereby, the necessity for clinicians to explore patients’ misbeliefs and their origin.
Forest Fuel Bed Variation in Tropical Coastal Freshwater Forested Wetlands Disturbed by Fire

Tropical coastal freshwater forested wetlands in coastal regions are rapidly disappearing as a result of various disturbance agents, mainly wildfires caused by high accumulations of forest fuels. The objective of this study was to characterize the structure and composition of fuel beds in tropical coastal freshwater forested wetlands with three levels of disturbance at El Castaño, La Encrucijada Biosphere Reserve. Seventeen sampling units were used to describe the structure of the forest’s fuel beds (canopy, sub-canopy, and understory). Fallen woody material and litter (surface and fermented) were characterized using the planar intersection technique. Diversity comprised eight species of trees, two shrubs, five lianas, and two herbaceous species. The vertical strata were dominated by trees between 2 and 22 m in height. The horizontal structure had a higher percentage of trees with normal diameter between 2.5 and 7.5 cm (61.4%) of the total. Sites with low disturbance had the highest arboreal density (2686 ind. ha−1). Diversity of species showed that the Fisher, Margalef, Shannon, and Simpson α indices were higher in the low disturbance sites. The Berger–Parker index exhibited greater dominance in the sites with high disturbance. Pachira aquatica Aubl. Showed the highest importance value index and was the largest contributor to fuel beds. Sites with the highest disturbance had the highest dead fuel load (222.18 ± 33.62 Mg ha−1), with woody fuels of classes 1, 10, and 1000 h (rotten) being the most representative. This study contributes to defining areas prone to fire in these ecosystems and designing prevention strategies.
A Framework for Providing Automatic Resource and Accuracy Management in a Cloud Environment

The recent emergence of cloud computingis making the vision ofutility computing realizable, i.e., computing resources and services from a cloud can be delivered, utilized, and paid for in the same fashion as utilities like water or electricity. Current cloud service providers have taken some steps towards supporting the true pay-as-you-go r a utility-like pricing model, and current research points towards more fine-grained allocation and pricing of resources in the future. We consider streaming applications, where the data is generated by external sources. This, however, creates new resource provisioning problems. Because of the pay-as-yougo model, resource provisioning should be performed carefully, keeping resource costs to a minimum, while meeting application needs. In the first part of our work, we focus on such environments where one needs to avoid both resource under-provisioning (leading to application slowdown) and over-provisioning (leading to unnecessary resource costs). The goal is to carefully allocate resources so that the processing rate can match the rate of data arrival. We have developed a solution that can handle unexpected data rates, including the transient rates. In the second part of our work, we focus on streaming applications which have adaptable parameters that provide flexibility in the level of computational accuracy. We consider the problem where application processing is associated with a fixed accuracy goal . The
Observations of vertical structures and bedform evolution with field-scale oscillatory hydrodynamic forcing

Observations of the two-dimensional, time-varying velocity field were obtained with a submersible Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system in a field-scale, experimental environment at the O. H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. The observations were obtained over an irregularly rippled bed with ripple heights and wavelengths of roughly 1 cm and 10 cm, respectively. These observations provide the means for new insight on the interaction between fluid flow and bedform geometry near and within the wave bottom boundary layer. First, vortical structures are identified with a measure of the flow field that estimates the time for a complete revolution of a vortex, called swirling strength, allowing for the examination of the generation and ejection of individual vortical structures. An analysis of these structures reveals that the swirling strength non-dimensionalized by the wave period is correlated to the Keulegan-Carpenter number. Second, bedform evolution regimes are identified using measures of the non-dimensional bed stress (the grain roughness Shields parameter), the non-dimensional pressure gradient (the Sleath parameter), and the ripple amplitude (the ripple radius of curvature). Bedforms were found to respond to individual waves by modulating in ripple amplitude as wave groups passed, even when the Shields parameter exceeded the critical value for sheet flow. However, when the Sleath parameter exceeded the critical value for plug flow, the bedform profile flattened requiring time after the wave group passed to rebuild the ripples.

Twelve year interannual and seasonal variability of stream carbon export from a boreal peatland catchment

Understanding stream carbon export dynamics is needed to accurately predict how the carbon balance of peatland catchments will respond to climatic and environmental change. We used a 12 year record (2003–2014) of continuous streamflow and manual spot measurements of total organic carbon (TOC), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), methane (CH4), and organic carbon quality (carbon‐specific ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm per dissolved organic carbon) to assess interannual and seasonal variability in stream carbon export for a peatland catchment (70% mire and 30% forest cover) in northern Sweden. Mean annual total carbon export for the 12 year period was 12.2 gCm−2 yr−1, but individual years ranged between 6 and 18 gCm−2 yr−1. TOC, which was primarily composed of dissolved organic carbon (>99%), was the dominant form of carbon being exported, comprising 63% to 79% of total annual exports, and DIC contributed between 19% and 33%. CH4 made up less than 5% of total export. When compared to previously published annual net ecosystem exchange (NEE) for the studied peatland system, stream carbon export typically accounted for 12 to 50% of NEE for most years. However, in 2006 stream carbon export accounted for 63 to 90% (estimated uncertainty range) of NEE due to a dry summer which suppressed NEE, followed by a wet autumn that resulted in considerable stream export. Runoff exerted a primary control on stream carbon export from this catchment; however, our findings suggest that seasonal variations in biologic and hydrologic processes responsible for production and transport of carbon within the peatland were secondary influences on stream carbon export. Consideration of these seasonal dynamics is needed when predicting stream carbon export response to environmental change.
Risk assessment and investigation of HCHs and DDTs in the water,sediment and aquatic animals from the Pearl River Estuary in China

A preliminary investigation on the concentration and distribution of HCHs and DDTs in the water,sediment and aquatic animals from the Pearl River Estuary was carried out using GC-ECD. The total concentrations of HCHs were in the range of 1.12～8.91 ng·L-1 with an average of 4.25 ng·L-1,and DDTs were in the range of 2.61～16.86 ng·L-1 with an average of 7.66 ng·L-1 in the surface water. In surface sediments(dry weight) ,the total HCHs ranged from 2.51～4.75 ng·g-1 with an average value of 3.61 ng·g-1 and the total DDTs ranged from 3.01～ 6.24 ng·g-1 with an average value of 4.33ng·g-1. In the aquatic animals,the average of HCHs and DDTs were 44.49 ng·g-1and 122.62 ng·g-1 in shellfish;41.04 ng·g-1 and 82.27 ng·g-1 in shrimp;and 27.95 ng g-1 and 65.43 ng·g-1 in fish,respectively. The concentration of HCHs and DDTs in fish were lower than those of other aquatic animals. Although the levels did not exceed the Chinese national limits for organochlorine compounds in aquatic animals,,potential ecological risks still exist.
EFFECT OF ANTI-CORROSION PROTECTIVE PAINT ON THERMOGRAPHIC INSPECTION OF CURVED STEEL TUBE PARTS

The use of anti-corrosion paint coatings on steel pipes is a common practice for their protection against corrosion. However, such coatings may have an impact on the results of the thermographic inspection, which can be used, for example, for their corrosion damage identification. In this study, we investigated the influence of anti-corrosion paint on the thermographic inspection of curved steel tube parts. Long pulse thermography inspection was conducted on painted and unpainted samples, and the results were compared. It was found that the used painting reduced the absorbed energy, however, the contrast of the found defect indications was better on painted samples. The experiments indicated that any inhomogeneity of an inspected surface due to, for example, the painting process, the presence of old painting layers, or the presence of surface corrosion, can cause irregular surface absorption patterns. It can result in signals from this unevenness that can reduce the contrast of the indications of defects. These findings can have significant implications for the use of thermography as a non-destructive testing technique for curved steel tube parts, for example, steel pipes, especially those in operation with correction paint or corrosion layers.
