Trends in the Utilization of Human Papillomavirus Vaccines and the Incidence of Malignant Cervical Cancer in Women and Teenagers: A Secondary Analysis

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection, and HPV types 16 and 18 are responsible for approximately 66% of all U.S. cervical cancer cases in women. The quadrivalent HPV vaccine was licensed in mid-2006, and it was designed to target and protect against HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18. The aim of this study is to examine the utilization rate of the HPV vaccine, and the trends and incidence rate of malignant cervical cancer across the United States. Methods: This study utilized data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) and the National Immunization Survey’s (NIS) teenage datasets across select years. For the SEER survey, the modification for confidence intervals by Tiwari et al., 2006, was utilized to obtain the incidence rate per 100,000, so that it could be age-adjusted for the 2000 U.S. standard population, as noted in the data provided by the U.S. Census. The dates examined started in the year 2000 and ended in 2017. For the NIS-Teen survey, the public-use data file was used, and a point estimate (%), with a 95% confidence interval, was performed to examine the trends in HPV vaccine utilization across the U.S. adolescent female population from the years 2007 to 2019. Results: This study found that the rate of diagnosis had been falling over the nearly two decades examined in this study. Implications: This study would support current efforts to encourage the utilization of HPV vaccines that are currently in the vaccination schedule rotation, and to illustrate the importance of completing all doses of the three-step series.
Agribusiness Organizing in the Philippine South: The Intertextual Power Play of Weather and Market Agencies

This paper shows how an agribusiness in a remote agrarian village in the Philippines has been organized in traditional ways amid technological advancements and the free market. The paper draws on the Montreal School’s CCO approach, which holds that organizing begins at the level of interaction and that nonhumans make a difference in social formation. Through analyzing the text exchanges between farm actors, the paper surfaces the agencies of the most ventriloquized agricultural actants within their talks. Imagined in Bakhtin’s dialogical world, multiple voices were made to interplay across time and space creating tensions, on one hand, and facilitating the assimilation of similar qualities of ideologically differing voices, on the other. This paper stresses that the ideological difference of interplaying voices can be blurred in the process of assimilation or in the constitution of an organization. The “intertextual play of power” of multiple voices offers a postcolonial perspective in examining power in organization studies.
EFFECT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF OLEOBIOTEC® ON PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE AND EGG QUALITY TRAITS IN JAPANESE QUAIL.

This study was conducted at the Animal |Production Sciences, College of Agricultural Engineering Science, University of Duhok to estimate the effect of different levels of oleobiotec on the production performance, egg quality of Japanese quail. A total of 105 Japanese quail 17 weeks of age obtained from a local farm and distributed into five treatments with three replicate for each one had (7 quail). Different doses of oleobiotec significantly (P ≤ 0.05) improved egg production, egg weight, and egg mass, fed conversion ratio and egg weight uniformity percentage. Concerning egg haugh unit significantly improved (P<0.05) by using oleobiotec while, other egg quality did not influenced with different level of oleobiotec.
Power-efficient aliasing-free PWM transmitter

Linearity and efficiency are important parameters in determining the performance of any wireless transmitter. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) based transmitters offer high efficiency but suffer from low linearity due to image and aliasing distortions. Although the problem of linearity can be addressed by using an aliasing-free PWM (AF-PWM), these transmitters have a lower efficiency as they can only use linear power amplifiers (PAs). Moreover, an all-digital implementation of such transmitters is not possible. The aliasing-compensated PWM transmitter (AC-PWMT) has a higher efficiency due to the use of switch-mode PAs (SMPAs) but uses outphasing to eliminate image and aliasing distortions and requires a larger silicon area. In this study, the authors propose a novel transmitter that eliminates both aliasing and image distortions while using a single SMPA. The transmitter can be implemented using all-digital techniques and achieves a higher efficiency as compared to both AF-PWM and AC-PWM based transmitters. Measurement results show an improvement of 11.3, 7.2, and 4.3 dBc in the ACLR as compared to the carrier-based PWM transmitter (C-PWMT), AF-PWMT, and AC-PWMT, respectively. The efficiency of the proposed transmitter is similar to that of C-PWMT, which is an improvement of 5% over AF-PWMT.
Non-Pharmacological Integrated Interventions for Adults Targeting Type 2 Diabetes and Mental Health Comorbidity: A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review

Objective: Adults living with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and severe mental illness (SMI) disproportionally experience premature mortality and health inequality. Despite this, there is a limited evidence-base and evaluation of non-pharmacological integrated interventions that may contribute to improved patient experience and outcomes. To improve our understanding of how to optimise integrated care for this group, this review evaluates the effectiveness, acceptability, and feasibility of non-pharmacological integrated interventions for adults with SMI and T2D. Methods: Studies from nine electronic databases were searched. Of the 6750 papers retrieved, seven papers (five quantitative and two qualitative) met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. A convergent integrated approach was used to narratively synthesise data into four main themes: effectiveness, acceptability, feasibility, integrated care. Results: There is moderate evidence to suggest non-pharmacological integrated interventions may be effective in improving some diabetes-related and psychosocial outcomes. Person-centred integrated interventions that are delivered collaboratively by trained facilitators who exemplify principles of integrated care may be effective in reducing the health-treatment gap. Conclusions: Recommendations from this review can provide guidance to healthcare professionals, commissioners, and researchers to inform improvements to non-pharmacological integrated interventions that are evidence-based, theoretically driven, and informed by patient and healthcare professionals’ experiences of care.
Cervical Cancer Cells-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Containing microRNA-146a-5p Affect Actin Dynamics to Promote Cervical Cancer Metastasis by Activating the Hippo-YAP Signaling Pathway via WWC2

Application of extracellular vesicles (EVs) for cancer treatment has been well-documented. We probed into the potential role of cervical cancer cells-secreted EVs by transferring miR-146a-5p in cervical cancer. After characterization of miR-146a-5p expression in clinical cervical cancer tissue samples, gain- and loss-of-function experiments were implemented to test the effect of miR-146a-5p on the invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and anoikis in cervical cancer cells. EVs were isolated from high-metastatic cervical cancer cells, after which their effects on the malignant behaviors of low-metastatic cervical cancer cells were assessed in a co-culture system. Luciferase assay was implemented to validate the putative binding relationship between miR-146a-5p and WWC2, followed by further investigation of downstream pathway (Hippo-YAP). Finally, nude mouse lung metastasis model was developed for in vivo validation. miR-146a-5p was elevated in cervical cancer tissues and high miR-146a-5p expression promoted the metastatic potential of cervical cancer cells through enhancing their invasiveness and anoikis resistance, and inducing EMT. Furthermore, miR-146a-5p carried by EVs secreted by highly metastatic cervical cancer cells could promote the metastasis of low-metastatic cervical cancer cells. Mechanistically, miR-146a-5p targeted WWC2 to activate YAP, by which it inhibited the phosphorylation of cofilin, and promoted the process of cofilin-mediated depolymerization of F-actin to G-actin. In vivo data demonstrated that EVs-carried miR-146a-5p promoted tumor metastasis through the WWC2/YAP axis. Cancer-derived EVs delivered pro-metastatic miR-146a-5p to regulate the actin dynamics in cervical cancer, thereby leading to cancer metastasis. This experiment highlighted an appealing therapeutic modality for cervical cancer.
Cost-Price Relationships in a Concentrated Economy

The US economy is at least 50 percent more concentrated today than it was in 2005. In this paper, we estimate the effect of this increase on the pass-through of cost shocks into prices. Our estimates imply that the pass-through becomes about 25 percentage points greater when there is an increase in concentration similar to the one observed since the beginning of this century. The resulting above-trend price growth lasts for about four quarters. Our findings suggest that the increase in industry concentration over the past two decades could be amplifying the inflationary pressure from current supply-chain disruptions and a tight labor market.
Lift and Drag Performance Based on Varying Flapping Wing Camber at Low Reynolds Number of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs)

Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicles (FW-MAVs) are small hand-held flying vehicles that can maneuver in constrained space owing to their lightweight, low aspect ratio and the ability to fly in a low Reynolds number environment. In this study, the aerodynamic characteristics such as time-averaged lift (CL avg) and time-averaged drag (CD avg) of camber wings with different five wind tunnel test models with 6, 9, 12, and 15 per cent camber were developed and the results were compared with a flat wing to assess the effects of camber wing on the aerodynamic performance for flapping flight applications. The experiments were performed in an open chamber with non-return airflow with a test section of (0.3 x 0.3) m and capable of speeds from 0.5 to 30 m/s. The (CL avg) and (CD avg) as functions of the angle of attack at 100, associated with flapping frequency at 9 Hz and low Re = 3600 of the flapping motions concerning the incoming flows are measured by using a strain gauge balance and KYOWA PCD- 300A sensor interface data acquisition system. It is found that camber would bring significant aerodynamic benefits in a higher lift in comparison to the flat wing and increase with increasing camber instead of drag shows contrary a decreasing of performance with increase drag when the camber raised.
Optimal Design of Hydraulic Excavator Shovel Attachment Based on Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm

The optimal design of TriPower shovel attachment remains a challenging task although TriPower face shovel excavators work well in mines all over the world. To address this issue, we establish the multiobjective optimization model of TriPower shovel attachment, which sets three kinematic indicators and two mechanical indicators as the objective functions. An improved multiobjective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) based on decomposition is proposed to solve the multiobjective optimization problem, which outperforms several representative MOEAs in the case study, and a lot of nondominated solutions are obtained. Then, the most satisfactory solution is selected based on the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution method. Based on this solution, an excellent design of TriPower face shovel excavator is obtained, which can fully realize the three features of TriPower shovel attachment. These results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the MOEA and multicriteria decision-making method in the optimal design of hydraulic excavator working attachment.
Wideband Time Reversal of Microwave Signals Based on Phase Conjugating

A phase conjugating network to realize wideband time reversal of microwave signals is studied in this paper. After discussions on the operation principle of the reversed signal in the time and frequency domains, a prototype network based on phase-conjugating mixing is developed. A demonstrator is designed and fabricated, and two examinations are carried out to confirm the presented method. For a fixed LO signal, a chirp RF signal with 40-MHz bandwidth can be phase-conjugated mixing, thus time reversed effectively. To widen the operation bandwidth, a method named dynamically synchronous phase conjugating is proposed; this enables a microwave signal to be dynamically reversed by synchronously varying the LO frequency along with the RF frequency, thus achieving the phase-conjugating dynamically in a wide frequency band. The simulation and experiment results of a wideband microwave signal, ranging from 5.4 to 6.25 GHz under a measured conversion loss of  10 dB, verify our studies.
Controle da relevância e urgência em medidas provisórias pelo STF

O artigo examina como a jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal controlou a discricionariedade do Executivo para avaliação dos pressupostos de relevância e urgência na edição de medidas provisórias. Por meio de uma extensa análise de Ações Diretas de Inconstitucionalidade (ADI) julgadas pela Corte ao longo de trinta anos de vigência da Constituição (1988-2018), ele ressalta a existência de três grandes linhas jurisprudenciais no Plenário do Tribunal: a insindicabilidade total, a sindicabilidade excepcional em caso de abuso pelo Poder Executivo, e a sindicabilidade total. Além de apresentar as linhas, explora o percurso realizado até sua construção por meio do método de análise dinâmica de jurisprudência proposto por Diego López Medina adaptado para o processo decisório brasileiro. Sustenta que, a depender do valor que se atribui aos votos não fundamentados, a jurisprudência se encaminhou de maneira mais gradual ou mais intensa em favor da segunda tese, ainda que isso tenha ocorrido principalmente por meio de decisões cautelares e obter dicta, sem um leading case discernível.
Reliability prediction of the axial ultimate bearing capacity of piles: A hierarchical Bayesian method

The sea reclamation is one of the efficient ways to alleviate the shortage of land resources due to population growth, and the corresponding axial ultimate bearing capacity of piles has become one of the critical factors for evaluating the performance of the soil layer reclamation work. Many models are used to analyze the testing data. However, these models cannot describe the mean population bearing capacity and unit-to-unit variation simultaneously, and they cannot give the reliability of predicting the axial ultimate bearing capacity of piles. Thus, they are rarely used in practice. In this article, we propose a mixed-effects model, which could overcome the drawback of the models in the literature. A hierarchical Bayesian framework is developed to estimate the model parameters using Gibbs sampling. The proposed model is applied to a real pile dataset collected in silt-rock layer area, and we predict the mean axial bearing capacities under different reliability levels.
Estimated repair and maintenance cost of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) harvester

Brazil is the largest sugarcane producer worldwide. Harvester’s repair and maintenance cost is high, and it is more representative than that of fuel. Equipment maintenance costs mainly comprise spare parts, third-party services and manpower. In addition, it is also closely related to the intense use of the equipment and to the increased mechanized operations. The current study aims to evaluate the proposals used to estimate the total costs associ­ated with repair and maintenance of sugarcane harvesters. The initial value and useful life in hours of the equipment were used in the calculations. For the development of this work was adopted the data modeling, using methodological proposals and their results were generated using the Excel ® spreadsheet. Among the proposals considered, two are according with reality because it reaches the useful life in hours at a cost of US$ 396,059.75, which corresponds to the initial value of the equipment. The longer worked hours increased total repair and maintenance costs. The equipment must not be used when it reaches its lifespan limit in hours.
The Application of AHP Method in the Successful Elements Selections in the After-Class School in Taiwan

The purpose of this paper is to aim at the successful elements on the after-class school in Taiwan. The study adopted the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) techniques as the research methodology. A model has been proposed to evaluate the best treatment and disposal technology. As well, Expert opinions have been incorporated in the selection of criteria. AHP has been used to determine the weights of criteria, followed by available ranking. Through quantitative weightings from the AHP model were calculated to identify the priorities of alternatives. The study provides a simple framework to the complex models. The model identifies A successful after-class school should be familiar in the education market, which can in response to the internal and external changes positively. BY the word of mouth publicity to attract parents to allow students to join the after-class school. Therefore, the key successful element of specialized education will directly affect the future development and direction of the after-class school. The model provides market scale and tuition cost but not education quality as the major elements which influence the after-class school successful or not. Current the education of after-class school already reaches up to a standard level. So that market scale and tuition cost becomes the most important elements. Hence after-class school has to determine the price due to the supply and demand market according to the local market scale. That is the key to keep the successful elements in after-class school market.
Maleic Anhydride-Grafted PLA Preparation and Characteristics of Compatibilized PLA/PBSeT Blend Films

Poly(butylene sebacate-co-terephthalate) (PBSeT) is a biodegradable flexible polymer suitable for melt blending with other biodegradable polymers. Melt blending with a compatibilizer is a common strategy for increasing miscibility between polymers. In this study, PBSeT polyester was synthesized, and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was blended with 25 wt% PBSeT by melt processing with 3–6 phr PLA-grafted maleic anhydride (PLA-g-MAH) compatibilizers. PLA-g-MAH enhanced the interfacial adhesion of the PLA/PBSeT blend, and their mechanical and morphological properties confirmed that the miscibility also increased. Adding more than 6 phr of PLA-g-MAH significantly improved the mechanical properties and accelerated the cold crystallization of the PLA/PBSeT blends. Furthermore, the thermal stabilities of the blends with PLA-g-MAH were slightly enhanced. PLA/PBSeT blends with and without PLA-g-MAH were not significantly different after 120 h, whereas all blends showed a more facilitated hydrolytic degradation rate than neat PLA. These findings indicate that PLA-g-MAH effectively improves PLA/PBSeT compatibility and can be applied in the packaging industry.
Antioxidant and Enzyme Inhibitory Properties, and HPLC–MS/MS Profiles of Different Extracts of Arabis carduchorum Boiss.: An Endemic Plant to Turkey

In this study, six extracts of Arabis carduchorum prepared from solvents of varying polarity (water, methanol, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, and n-hexane) were investigated for their chemical profiles and total phenolic and flavonoid contents (TPC/TFC) using HPLC–MS/MS and spectrophotometric/colorimetric assays, respectively, along with the assessment of their antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory effects. In general, the polar extracts (methanol, water, and infusion) showed higher TPC/TFC than the other extracts (range:13.73–26.62 mg GAE/g; 2.66–52.95 mg RE/g, respectively). The total antioxidant capacity of the polar extracts ranged from 0.90–1.85 mmol TE/g in phosphomolybdenum assay, while the free radical scavenging potential ranged from 4.36–32.13 mg TE/g and 12.58–67.73 mg TE/g in DPPH and ABTS assays, respectively. While the water and infuse extract inhibited only butyrylcholinesterase (2.68 and 2.39 mg GALAE/g, respectively), the other extracts were found to inhibit both acetyl- and butyryl-cholinesterases (0.96–2.73 mg GALAE/g and 1.86–5.11 mg GALAE/g, respectively). On the contrary, all extracts exhibited anti-tyrosinase (40.24–59.22 mg KAE/g) and anti-amylase (0.09–0.63 mmol ACAE/g) activities. Overall, this study highlighted the effect of solvent polarity on the extraction of bioactive compounds and the biological properties of the extracts of A. carduchorum; hence, the results obtained could be used to guide optimum extraction in future studies.
Motion Sickness Mitigation in Autonomous Vehicle: A Mini-Review

An autonomous vehicle is a rapidly evolving technology that received attention from researchers due to its potential benefits. Besides the advantages, there are also non-negligible issues that need to be overcome in the middle of the autonomous vehicle development process. Among all the challenges, one of the important topics that have not gained adequate consideration is motion sickness (MS). This paper reviews the benefit and challenges of autonomous vehicles, MS factors, the quantifying methods of MS, and the mitigation strategies of MS. Considering the importance of minimizing MS, it is concluded that the number of strategies to lessen MS's severity is still lacking; hence, requiring more attention from automotive researchers.
Iraqi post-graduate students’ tendency towards learning English

In Iraq, students learn English as a foreign language, in school, students learn English for an hour every week, and at university, undergraduate and post-graduate students learn English for two hours per week (for fifteen weeks), that means they are exposed to the language for 30 hours (two semesters). The aim of this study was to investigate postgraduate students’ tendency to learn English as a foreign language. The participants were 106 students from six colleges under the University of Anbar, who were enrolled in master’s programs during the academic year 2021–2022. A questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. As a statistical means, a percentage ratio was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study revealed that postgraduate students did not have a positive tendency or willingness to learn English and did not put in any effort to learn the language. Even in a compulsory English course, they faced many difficulties due to the teaching methods of professors, and the English textbook, ‘Headway Academic Skills,’ was found to be highly generic.
Towards Low-Cost IoT and LPWAN-Based Flood Forecast and Monitoring System

The recent floods have shown that the classic monitoring systems for watercourses are no longer adapted because other phenomena such as the insufficient capacity and/or obstruction of drainage networks, the modification of cultivation practices and rotations, the increase in the size of plots linked to the reparcelling, the urbanization of floodable areas, etc. The combination of all these causes, plus the modification of the water regime, implies an increase in the risk of flooding and an adapted monitoring that is no longer limited to watercourses in order to give early warning of the risk of flooding by runoff. The Internet of Things (IoT) and the availability of microcontrollers and sensors with low data rates and long ranges, as well as low-power wide area networks (LPWANs), allow for much more advanced monitoring systems.
