Reconciliation of Depression, Emotional Transmission in Digital Musical and Social Media: A Case Study of Chinese Social Application Net Ease Cloud Music

In China, the observation of the trend of social activities proves that contemporary young people are becoming easier to express and even produce depression. Such emotion has led to two different mentality trends in the medium of music media, which are the positive response to depression and the quasi-negative one. This article chooses the most successful Chinese social platform application Net Ease Cloud Music and analyses the case of its users' comments and interactions. It is argued that by social interaction in music and sharing acoustic experiences, Chinese young people have generated a way of negative mental mood reconciliation. In NetEase Cloud Music, playlists searched for keywords such as sadness have the highest collection of 201,000, while those searching for keywords such as cure have the highest collection of 112,000. This shows that young people will feel sadder when they use NetEase cloud music.
2004 Student Paper Award Winner

Despite the difficulties inherent in the television production industry, it continues to thrive and flourish. Given the huge amount of experience, expertise, and resources available, it is possible to manage projects in television production with excellence and integrity. However, even though the television production industry offers many advantages in the practice of project management, including highly developed methodologies and straightforward (technical) quality management, productions fail or encounter significant setbacks with great regularity. This points to the inherent complexity and difficulty of the production process. This paper identifies commonalities in the project management experience within television production, in an effort to develop a list of universal “worst practices. ” It is hoped that by identifying a suite of worst practices, this paper will be helpful in guiding future production endeavors.
Korean Red Ginseng Ameliorates Allergic Asthma through Reduction of Lung Inflammation and Oxidation

Six-year-old red ginseng, which is processed from the whole ginseng root via steaming and drying, has been shown to have preventive effects such as antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of Korean red ginseng (KRG) against ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic asthma and the underlying mechanisms involved. We injected 20 µg of OVA on days 0 and 14, and mice were challenged with aerosolized OVA via a nebulizer for 1 h on days 21, 22, and 23. KRG was administered at 100 and 300 mg/kg from days 18 to 23. The KRG-treated mice showed significant reductions in their airway hyperresponsiveness, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the number of inflammatory cells compared with the OVA-treated mice. The levels of type 2 cytokines in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and expression of OVA-specific immunoglobulin E in the serum, which were elevated in the OVA group, were reduced in the KRG-treated groups. The pro-inflammatory factors, inducible nitric oxide synthase and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells, were downregulated by the KRG administration in a dose-dependent manner. KRG effectively suppressed the inflammatory response by inhibiting ROS production. Our results suggest that KRG may have the potential to alleviate asthma.
Global Trends in the Availability of Dietary Data in Low and Middle-Income Countries

Individual-level quantitative dietary data can provide suitably disaggregated information to identify the needs of all population sub-groups, which can in turn inform agricultural, nutrition, food safety, and environmental policies and programs. The purpose of this discussion paper is to provide an overview of dietary surveys conducted in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) from 1980 to 2019, analyzing their key characteristics to understand the trends in dietary data collection across time. The present study analyzes the information gathered by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization Global Individual Food consumption data Tool (FAO/WHO GIFT). FAO/WHO GIFT is a growing repository of individual-level dietary data and contains information about dietary surveys from around the world, collected through published survey results, literature reviews, and direct contact with data owners. The analysis indicates an important increase in the number of dietary surveys conducted in LMICs in the past four decades and a notable increase in the number of national dietary surveys. It is hoped that this trend continues, together with associated efforts to validate and standardize the dietary methods used. The regular implementation of dietary surveys in LMICs is key to support evidence-based policies for improved nutrition.
Análise exploratória de dados de viagens pendulares visando a definição de regiões urbanas homogêneas

The proposed paper aims to provide new subsidies to the definition of Functional Urban Regions (FURs), testing the viability of a variable not yet explored in Brazil: commuting flows. Thus, a case study is developed in the state of Sao Paulo. With the application of spatial statistics techniques on travel data and construction of Box Maps, the results were compared with the limits of the official FURs. The obtained results reflect the interrelations among municipalities within the FURs, since attractive areas appear next to peripheral areas and highlight important regional centers, which can be the core of conurbations in the future.
Immediate effect of different exercises in the vocal space of women with and without vocal nodules

ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate the immediate effect of voiced tongue vibration (VSL), high-resistance straw in the air (CAR), and overarticulation (OA) on the vocal space of vocally healthy women (MVS) and with vocal nodules (MNV). Methods 12 women participated in the MNV and 12 women in the MVS, allocated to perform the vocal exercises of VSL, CAR, and OA. Each participant performed only one of the three proposed exercises, for 5 minutes, preceded and followed by recording a sequence of vehicle sentences for extracting formants (F1 and F2) from the vowel segments [a, i, u]. The vowel space was analyzed through the differences between the measures of the formants of the vowels. Results we observed a reduction of F1 in the interval [a]-[i] and [i]-[u] and of F2 between the vowels [a]-[u] and [i]-[u] in the MVS, after performing the CAR. In MNV, we observed a reduction of F2 in the interval [a]-[i] after VSL. In the intergroup analysis, there were higher F1 values between the intervals of the vowels [a]-[i] and [i]-[u] in the MVS, before performing the CAR, and after exercise only in the interval [a]-[i]. A higher value of F1 and F2 was observed in the interval between the vowels [i]-[u] in the MNV after VSL. Conclusion The VSL exercise reduced the vowel space in MNV women. CAR reduced the vocal space of women in the MVS. The MNV had a smaller vowel space compared to the MVS before and after the CAR. We observed a reduction in the vowel space in the MNV compared to the MNV after the VSL exercise.
Prognostic role of multiple abnormal genes in non-small-cell lung cancer

BACKGROUND Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has the highest morbidity and mortality rates among all malignant tumor types. Although therapies targeting the mutated genes such as KRAS have been used in the clinic for many years, the prognosis remains poor. Therefore, it is necessary to further study the aberrant expression or mutation of non-target genes affecting the survival and prognosis. AIM To explore the impact of simultaneous abnormalities of multiple genes on the prognosis and survival of patients. METHODS We used R packages to analyze gene expression data and clinical data downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We also collected samples from 85 NSCLC patients from the First People’s Hospital of Jingzhou City and retrospectively followed the patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis and survival analysis were performed. RESULTS Analysis of gene expression data from TCGA revealed that the overexpression of the following single genes affected overall survival: TP53 (P = 0.79), PTEN (P = 0.94), RB1 (P = 0.49), CTNNB1 (P = 0.24), STK11 (P = 0.32), and PIK3CA (P = 0.013). However, the probability of multiple genes (TP53, PTEN, RB1, and STK11) affecting survival was 0.025. Retrospective analysis of clinical data revealed that sex (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.29; [95%CI: 0.64-2.62]), age (HR = 1.05; [95%CI: 1.02-1.07]), smoking status (HR = 2.26; [95%CI: 1.16-4.39]), tumor histology (HR = 0.58; [95%CI: 0.30-1.11]), cancer stage (HR = 16.63; [95%CI: 4.8-57.63]), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (HR = 1.82; [95%CI: 1.05-3.16]), abundance (HR = 4.95; [95%CI: 0.78-31.36]), and treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (HR = 0.58; [95%CI: 0.43-0.78]) affected patient survival. Co-occurring mutations of TP53, PTEN, RB1, and STK11 did not significantly affect the overall survival of patients receiving chemotherapy (P = 0.96) but significantly affected the overall survival of patients receiving TKIs (P = 0.045). CONCLUSION Co-occurring mutation or overexpression of different genes has different effects on the overall survival and prognosis of NSCLC patients. Combined with TKI treatment, the co-occurring mutation of some genes may have a synergistic effect on the survival and prognosis of NSCLC patients.
Pediatric Antinuclear Antibody Negative Full-House Nephropathy: A Clinical Conundrum

Introduction: Lupus nephritis is common in pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The presence of full-house immunoglobulin deposits is a unique feature for histopathological diagnosis in lupus nephritis. Our case report highlights two cases with antinuclear antibody (ANA) negative full-house nephropathy (FHN), their clinical phenotypes and intermediate long-term renal outcome. A review of the pediatric literature on this clinical entity ensued. Case Presentation: Two girls, aged three and nine years old presented with acute onset of kidney impairment. One needed temporary dialysis support. Both showed hypocomplementemia and biopsies concurred with FHN. Notably, ANA was absent in both patients. They achieved complete remission soon after introducing immunosuppressive therapy and the disease remained quiescent for many years thereafter. ANA remained negative during surveillance. Conclusions: There have been reports on a possible incomplete form when the characteristic of FHN is seen in isolation. Although natural history of this entity remains uncertain, most literature reports apparent long-term remission following the initial episode. ANA positivity, as an obligatory criterion of diagnosing lupus nephritis (LN), recommended in the new EULAR/ACR 2019 guideline, may raise many uncertainties for this group of patients. There is a need to elucidate whether this should continue to be perceived as part of a lupus continuum or it may be considered a unique clinical entity? Such uncertainties possibly subject the child and his/her caregivers to perpetual mental stress.
Anthropometric Linear Measurements of Female Athletes in the Italian National Athletic Teams

Anthropometry is essential to understand the predisposition of an athlete to practice a specific sporting activity, to assess their fitness, and in association with functional parameters, to identify any correlations between their anthropometric profile and their sport performance. Here, we present the anthropometric profiles of athletes of the Italian national teams, who represented Italy in the 2019-2020 competitive season in the following sports: artistic (n=4) and rhythmic (n=12) gymnastics;distance swimming (speciality: 100 m freestyle) (n=14);synchronized swimming (n=10);and basketball (n=6). We also consider a group of sedentary women (n=22) for comparisons. The following anthropometric measurements were taken for each woman: stature;anterior trunk height (i.e., suprasternal-symphysion distance);chest circumference passing through the mesosternal point;biacromial diameter (i.e., akromion-akromion distance);wrist circumference;abdominal circumference passing through the omphalion and the lumbale;hip circumference;height of lower limb (i.e., epitrochanter-planta distance). Height was a selective factor in both basketball, which requires tall athletes, and artistic gymnastics, where in contrast, well-muscled athletes of small stature are required. In aquatic sports, the constitutional habitus is characterized by good development of the upper body compared to the lower limbs. The selection of elite athletes takes place primarily through anthropometric analyses, although other functional and psychological factors also influence their sports performance.
Theoretical foundations of studying criticality in the brain

Abstract Criticality is hypothesized as a physical mechanism underlying efficient transitions between cortical states and remarkable information-processing capacities in the brain. While considerable evidence generally supports this hypothesis, nonnegligible controversies persist regarding the ubiquity of criticality in neural dynamics and its role in information processing. Validity issues frequently arise during identifying potential brain criticality from empirical data. Moreover, the functional benefits implied by brain criticality are frequently misconceived or unduly generalized. These problems stem from the nontriviality and immaturity of the physical theories that analytically derive brain criticality and the statistic techniques that estimate brain criticality from empirical data. To help solve these problems, we present a systematic review and reformulate the foundations of studying brain criticality, that is, ordinary criticality (OC), quasi-criticality (qC), self-organized criticality (SOC), and self-organized quasi-criticality (SOqC), using the terminology of neuroscience. We offer accessible explanations of the physical theories and statistical techniques of brain criticality, providing step-by-step derivations to characterize neural dynamics as a physical system with avalanches. We summarize error-prone details and existing limitations in brain criticality analysis and suggest possible solutions. Moreover, we present a forward-looking perspective on how optimizing the foundations of studying brain criticality can deepen our understanding of various neuroscience questions.

Offshoring and reshoring of services in tourism: a round trip

Coinciding with the onset of the economic crisis in 2007, a reshoring process, consisting in the return to the home country of part or all of the activities previously offshored abroad can be observed in all advanced economies. This study aims to analyse for first time whether this strategy has affected the tourism sector. The results show that between 2007 and 2010 a major reshoring process took place in the tourism sub-sectors, while in 2015, the levels of offshoring recovered slightly but did not compensate the previous strong decline. This reshoring strategy in tourism has basically been carried out through a replacement of foreign suppliers with national suppliers.
Control Strategy for Single-Phase Open-Circuit Operation of a Modular Solid-State Transformer

The solid-state transformer (SST) has the ability to operate with only two input phases, which can be called single-phase open-circuit (SPO) operation. With this ability, the SST can maintain operation under permanent single-phase-to-ground faults, where the fault phase must be isolated, providing a better power supply sustainability than that of the conventional low-frequency transformer. In the absence of research on the SPO operation of an SST, this paper presents a study of it. The influence of SPO operation on the grid and the SST itself is analyzed. Under the SPO state, the SST will inject the negative-sequence current to the grid; meanwhile, the maximum load power will decline; thus, the optimized power factor under the SPO state is unity. The maximum power of △-SST is higher than that of the Y-SST under the SPO state owing to the △ connection. A control strategy for the SST medium-voltage cascaded H-bridge stage is proposed. SPO current control can be achieved by controlling the positive-sequence current. A proper negative-sequence voltage can be injected to synchronize the cluster voltages to obtain a lower current total harmonic distortion and smaller dc voltage ripple. In the △-SST, a proper zero-sequence current can be injected to fully use the power rating of the double-cluster branch.
The Current Knowledge on Clostridioides difficile Infection in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) represents a major health burden with substantial economic and clinical impact. Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) were identified as a risk category for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). In addition to traditional risk factors for C. difficile acquisition, IBD-specific risk factors such as immunosuppression, severity and extension of the inflammatory disease were identified. C. difficile virulence factors, represented by both toxins A and B, induce the damage of the intestinal mucosa and vascular changes, and promote the inflammatory host response. Given the potential life-threatening complications, early diagnostic and therapeutic interventions are required. The screening for CDI is recommended in IBD exacerbations, and the diagnostic algorithm consists of clinical evaluation, enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) or nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs). An increased length of hospitalization, increased colectomy rate and mortality are the consequences of concurrent CDI in IBD patients. Selection of CD strains of higher virulence, antibiotic resistance, and the increasing rate of recurrent infections make the management of CDI in IBD more challenging. An individualized therapeutic approach is recommended to control CDI as well as IBD flare. Novel therapeutic strategies have been developed in recent years in order to manage severe, refractory or recurrent CDI. In this article, we aim to review the current evidence in the field of CDI in patients with underlying IBD, pointing to pathogenic mechanisms, risk factors for infection, diagnostic steps, clinical impact and outcomes, and specific management.
Evolution of ACE2-independent SARS-CoV-2 infection and mouse adaption after passage in cells expressing human and mouse ACE2

Abstract Human ACE2 Human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) is the key cell attachment and entry receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), with the original SARS-CoV-2 isolates unable to use mouse ACE2 (mACE2). Herein we describe the emergence of a SARS-CoV-2 strain capable of ACE2-independent infection and the evolution of mouse-adapted (MA) SARS-CoV-2 by in vitro serial passaging of virus in co-cultures of cell lines expressing hACE2 and mACE2. MA viruses evolved with up to five amino acid changes in the spike protein, all of which have been seen in human isolates. MA viruses replicated to high titers in C57BL/6J mouse lungs and nasal turbinates and caused characteristic lung histopathology. One MA virus also evolved to replicate efficiently in several ACE2-negative cell lines across several species, including clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) ACE2 knockout cells. An E484D substitution is likely involved in ACE2-independent entry and has appeared in only ≈0.003 per cent of human isolates globally, suggesting that it provided no significant selection advantage in humans. ACE2-independent entry reveals a SARS-CoV-2 infection mechanism that has potential implications for disease pathogenesis, evolution, tropism, and perhaps also intervention development.
Advanced Synergetic Charge Control of Three-Phase PFC Buck-Boost Current DC-Link EV Chargers

An advanced synergetic charge-based mains cur-rent control (ASC) for three-phase power factor correction (PFC) buck-boost current DC-link AC/DC converters, which integrate a front-end buck-type current DC-link PFC rectifier and a DC/DC boost converter output stage, is proposed. The charge control is embedded in the synergetic (coordinated) control of the two converter stages, retaining all advantageous features such as only a minimum number of switches operating at any given time and a seamless transition between buck-and boost-mode. Compared to conventional synergetic current control (CSC) with synchronous sampling or oversampling, the ASC achieves an reduction of the AC-side current harmonics (simulated total harmonic distortion lower by up to 30 %) for operation over a wide output voltage range from 200 to 1000 V without increased implementation complexity or hardware cost. Furthermore, the ASC improves the light-load efficiency by inherently enabling a smooth transition into discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) without additional modifications of the control structure. Finally, the proposed ASC can control a system featuring significantly higher DC-link current ripples without a degradation of the grid current quality, which facilitates more compact DC-link inductor and hence converter realizations.
