Environmental Audit and Green Innovative
Strategy of Enterprise in China

Environmental audit is regarded as a kind of voluntary regulation and an important tool for environmental certification. This paper aims to investigate the impact of environmental audit on innovation strategy of enterprise in the short and long term, separately. Samples and dataset are established by 437 listed companies in China and their business and environmental data from 2009 to 2020, respectively. To identify the innovation strategy accurately, the innovation strategy of enterprise is divided into technology introduction, independent innovation, and technology cooperation. Environmental audit is selected as a proxy variable of voluntary environmental regulation. The results show that environmental audit positively affects technology introduction, independent innovation, and technology cooperation. Further, the sample companies are divided into two groups according to pollution intensity, and it finds that high-pollution enterprises are more inclined to technology cooperation and technology introduction in the short term. For these enterprises, they will not continue to upgrade technology in the long term after meeting environmental requirements. For low-pollution enterprises, the positive effect of environmental audit on innovation strategy is sustained, no matter in the long or short term. Besides, low-pollution enterprises are more focused on technology introduction and technology cooperation in the long term.
CAUTS: Clock Tree Optimization via Skewed Cells With Complementary Asymmetrical Uniform Transistor Sizing

In the physical design of integrated circuits, clock tree synthesis (CTS) plays a crucial role in terms of timing closure and overall design convergence. The existing clock tree (CT) optimization methods usually prefer to balance both clock edges, and the key insight of this article is that the clock work edge does not need to keep balance with another nonwork edge for the widely employed single-edge triggered circuits. This motivates us to achieve CT optimization by improving the performance of the work edge while sacrificing the performance of another edge. To this end, complementary asymmetrical uniform transistor sizing (CAUTS) methodology is proposed, which enables us to: 1) improve those conflicted metrics in systematic ways, including clock latency, power, and so on and 2) perform CTS optimization without any clock buffer insertion and clock routing adjustment and thus without area penalty. Experimental results based on the first-generation FinFET technology with six benchmark circuits and four industry intellectual properties (IPs) demonstrate that: 1) the clock latency is reduced by 5.9%–19.8% at each corner for all designs; 2) the clock power is reduced by 2.45%–15.12% at each corner for all designs; 3) setup timing is improved for all designs, and the total negative slack (TNS) of setup timing for unclean corners can be reduced by 10.9%–73.6%; and (4) hold timing is improved for all designs, and the TNS of hold timing can be reduced by 5.2%–19.8% for four industry IPs.
Consumer Acceptance of Texture-Modified Mackerel Stew Products in Older Adults

Along with concerns regarding societal aging, the dietary requirements of older adults have become a priority. Older adults in Korea experience difficulties consuming animal protein sources as they age. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a senior-friendly food product using mackerel. Accordingly, carbohydrates and proteins were added to the brine solution before saturated vapor treatment. Calcium lactate and poly-gamma-glutamic acid were added to the sauce, and when compared to four commercial products (GT_R, GT_K, PC_K, and AC_G) in an acceptance test, the product was found to exhibit the highest overall liking score (p < 0.001). Higher flavor-liking and familiarity ratings were found to increase purchase intention, while higher flavor-liking, overall-liking, and familiarity ratings increased recommendation intention. Those in mid-to-late adulthood preferred the GT_R and PC_K samples, whereas the AC_G sample was preferred by those in very late adulthood. AC_G sample analysis suggested that those in the very late adulthood group had a relatively higher acceptance of spiciness. In this study, a calcium-added mackerel stew product was manufactured, meeting the standards for senior-friendly food in Korea. It will serve as a baseline for further research on fish- and mackerel-based foods for older adults, which is in its early stages.
Illegality in East Jerusalem: Between House Demolitions and Resistance (Hebrew)

Eighty-five percent of the Palestinian houses in East Jerusalem are deemed illegal under Israeli planning laws for being built without adequate building permits. This implies that since 1967, approximately 20,000 buildings were built by Palestinians in East Jerusalem without acquiring sufficient building permits. Between 1987 and 2004, Israel demolished 400 (2.4 percent) of these houses. Through a detailed analysis of some 30 in-depth interviews conducted with Israeli bureaucrats and with Palestinian residents in Jerusalem, this article explores the institution of illegality within the Israeli planning discourse. In particular, the article examines how techniques of illegality based on planning laws and policy are utilized to dominate the Palestinian population of East Jerusalem. Although the demolition of houses is the most spectacular spatial mechanism of illegality exercised by Israel in East Jerusalem, the focus of the first part of the article is on the more mundane techniques of illegality, such as mapping and tracing, criminality, and arbitrariness. The second part of the article introduces the notion of resistance and explores the illegal building carried out by East Jerusalemite Palestinians as an act of spatial protest. In examining tactics of "everyday" resistance, the article suggests that the study of illegality in the East Jerusalem context allows a nuanced understanding of the relations between bureaucrats and subjects, thereby offering a deeper comprehension of the character of power itself.
Comprehensive Study of Contact Length Scaling Down to 12 nm With Monolayer MoS2 Channel Transistors

The 2-D transition metal dichalcogenides (2-D TMDs) have emerged as a promising channel material for postsilicon applications for their ultrathin structure and excellent electrostatic control. However, achieving low contact resistance at scaled contact length remains a challenge. This article overcomes this challenge through optimized deposition of a semimetal/metal stack in monolayer MoS2 channel transistors and obtains a low contact resistance of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\sim 300 \Omega \cdot \mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> at an extreme contact length of 12 nm at carrier concentration around <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$10^{{13}}\mathrm {cm}^{-{2}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> (based on the best data from transmission line measurement extraction). Similar ON-currents are maintained across a range of contact lengths from 1000 to 12 nm. Our calibrated TCAD model also validates that the tunneling distance at the metal–TMD interface exhibits a strongest positive correlation to the contact resistance. Doping in contact is then proposed and simulated as a potential solution for achieving a target corner of contact resistance and contact length defined by the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS) for 2037.

State Factor Control of Soils and Forest Succession along the Tanana River in Interior Alaska, U.S.A.

State factor controls of soil and forest development were examined in floodplain primary and upland secondary successional ecosystems along the Tanana River in interior Alaska. Topography is the principal difference in state factor control of structure and function of these systems. It interacts with type of disturbance, sedimentation, or fire, thus conditioning ecosystem response. Sedimentation adds new, low-fertility inorganic alluvium to new or established floodplain surfaces and may bury established soils exposing them to a more constant physical environment. Mineralization of buried organic matter then occurs under more favorable conditions of temperature and moisture, providing for a higher, sustained recycling of nutrients for plant grown compared with decomposition of surface litter. The new alluvium is low in organic matter and nitrogen, and improvement in soil fertility depends on the growth of alder with its nitrogenfixing capability. These soils are salt-affected and alkaline because of salts inherited in the alluvium and surface evaporation of soil solution that rises by capillary movement from shallow ground water. In the uplands, fire acts as a rapid decomposer mineralizing nutrients as organic materials burn. Combustion of surface organic matter reduces the insulating effect of these detrital layers, warming the soil. In areas underlain by permafrost the thickness of the active layer increases and soil drainage may improve following fire. Although some carbon and nitrogen may be lost by volatilization, the postfire soil for plant colonization has a legacy of fertility from the previous ecosystem. There is a reserve of soil nutrition available to support early seedling establishment and growth. In floodplain soils, the legacy may appear in buried organic layers.
Performance Analysis of the Legislative Body of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia during the Covid-19 Pandemic 2020 – 2021

The process of harmonization and strengthening of the draft bill is the most crucial stage in the formation of legislation. The 2019 Corona Virus Disease pandemic in Indonesia caused a socio-economic crisis. Among the challenges is the delay in the Legislative Body's big agenda in drafting laws. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach. The theory used is the Balanced Scorecard Organizational Performance, with 4 perspectives: Finance, Customer, Internal Business, Learning and Growth. The results of the study describe that the performance of the Legislative Body is related to the Financial Perspective, experiencing refocusing and budget reallocation to overcome the Corona Virus-2019. From the customer perspective, in absorbing the aspirations of the community, the legislative body can only conduct public hearings, seminars, and work visits with using virtual under the rules of the DPR RI. From an Internal Business perspective, the implementation is still not optimal, because it is constrained by the Legislation Board meeting schedule with the commission meeting schedule, and attending meetings online. Furthermore, in the Learning and Growth Perspective, the leadership in the Legislative Institution is quite optimal, seen from the commitment and presence of the leadership of the Legislative Institution in carrying out their duties. The absence of laws that have been ratified, is mostly due to the political process in the formation of laws that cannot be measured quantitatively.
An automatic diagnosis method for bearing failure of general aviation piston engine with deep learning networks

Bearing failure is one of the common faults in general aviation piston engines, which directly affects the stability and safety of aircraft. The existing diagnostic methods are manual visual fault detection, and the diagnostic accuracy is greatly by worker experience and has low efficiency. To address the aforementioned shortcomings, an automatic diagnosis method based on deep learning networks is proposed to achieve intelligent detection of bearing failure in this paper. The proposed method adopts an improved YOLOv5 model to process photos of bearing bush during engine maintenance to automatically detect bearing faults. For specific dataset features, in order to enhance the ability of image feature extraction and further improve the ability of small target detection, the proposed DC-YOLOv5 in this paper adopts 160*160 detection layers in the network, introduces a coordinate attention mechanism in the backbone part, adds a feature multi-scale fusion structure in the neck part, and uses Alpha-CIoU loss function in the prediction part. Finally, the comparison experiments were conducted using on-site maintenance data. The experimental results show that the mAP of the proposed DC-YOLOv5 reaches 95.42%, which is 3.21% better than the original YOLOv5s. The detection accuracy is considerably improved compared with other mainstream algorithms. The demonstrated effect with the proposed method is sufficient for the maintenance of general aviation piston engines.
Chemical Peeling Therapy Using Phenol for the Cervico-Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia

Objective: This study aimed to validate the use of liquid phenol-based chemical peeling therapy for cervical and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN and VaIN, respectively), with the goal of circumventing obstetric complications associated with surgical treatment and to determine the factors associated with treatment resistance. Methods: A total of 483 eligible women diagnosed with CIN, VaIN, or both, participated in this study. Participants underwent phenol-based chemical peeling therapy every 4 weeks until disease clearance. Disease clearance was determined by negative Pap tests for four consecutive weeks or by colposcopy. HPV genotyping was conducted at the onset of the study and after disease clearance in select cases. Our preliminary analysis compared the recurrence and persistence rates between 294 individuals who received phenol-based chemical peeling therapy and 189 untreated patients. Results: At 2 years following diagnosis, persistent disease was observed in 18%, 60%, and 88% of untreated patients with CIN1–3, respectively, and <2% of patients with CIN who received phenol-based chemical peeling therapy. Among 483 participants, 10 immune-suppressed patients required multiple treatments to achieve disease clearance, and 7 were diagnosed with cervical cancer. Of the 466 participants, except those with cancer or immune suppression, the number of treatment sessions until CIN/VaIN clearance ranged from 2 to 42 (average: 9.2 sessions). In total, 43 participants (9.2%) underwent surgical treatment. Six patients (1.3%) experienced recurrence of CIN2 or worse, suggesting that treatment failed in 46 patients (9.9%). No obstetrical complications were noted among the 98 pregnancies following this therapy. Factors associated with resistance to this therapy include immune suppression, ages 35–39 years, higher-grade lesions, and multiple HPV-type infections. Conclusions: Phenol-based therapy is safe and effective for CINs and VaINs. Women aged < 35 years and with persistent CIN1 or CIN2 with a single HPV-type infection are suitable candidates for phenol-based chemical peeling therapy. However, this therapy requires multiple lengthy sessions.
Trends and sensitivities of low streamflow extremes to discharge timing and magnitude in Pacific Northwest mountain streams

Path analyses of historical streamflow data from the Pacific Northwest indicate that the precipitation amount has been the dominant control on the magnitude of low streamflow extremes compared to the air temperature‐affected timing of snowmelt runoff. The relative sensitivities of low streamflow to precipitation and temperature changes have important implications for adaptation planning because global circulation models produce relatively robust estimates of air temperature changes but have large uncertainties in projected precipitation amounts in the Pacific Northwest U.S. Quantile regression analyses indicate that low streamflow extremes from the majority of catchments in this study have declined from 1948 to 2013, which may significantly affect terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and water resource management. Trends in the 25th percentile of mean annual streamflow have declined and the center of timing has occurred earlier. We quantify the relative influences of total precipitation and air temperature on the annual low streamflow extremes from 42 stream gauges using mean annual streamflow as a proxy for precipitation amount effects and streamflow center of timing as a proxy for temperature effects on low flow metrics, including 7q10 summer (the minimum 7 day flow during summer with a 10 year return period), mean August, mean September, mean summer, 7q10 winter, and mean winter flow metrics. These methods have the benefit of using only readily available streamflow data, which makes our results robust against systematic errors in high elevation distributed precipitation data. Winter low flow metrics are weakly tied to both mean annual streamflow and center of timing.
Datos ecológicos del ocelote (Leopardus pardalis) en Cana, Parque Nacional Darién, Panamá; utilizando el método de cámaras trampa

We present data on ocelot ecology in the area of Darien, through cameras traps. We obtained information on density, circadian activity and minimum home ranges. The population of ocelots in Cana has one of the highest densities recorded throughout its range, with a preference for nocturnal activity and homes ranges to small and Tecnociencia, Vol. 11, N°1 91 Moreno, R. y Bustamante, A. 92 medium size, depending on the method, with the minimum convex polygon (PMC) used areas between 0.33-1.57 km and a second method using buffer areas of the cameras are about 12 km. The cameras traps appear to be a good method to obtain ecological data of species, but as any method have advantages and disadvantages. It should be kept in mind that the densities will depend much on effort (covered area) and intensity (# camera traps stations) of sampling.
Moving the Needle Forward in Genomically-Guided Precision Radiation Treatment

Simple Summary Genetic information is seldom incorporated in formulating radiation treatment recommendations for patients with cancer, even though genetic information is now well established to be prognostic and predictive of cancer outcomes and response to systemic therapy. With the increasing accessibility to and use of genetic testing, tumor, and germline genetic data have the potential to inform clinical decisions by improving the efficacy of radiation treatment and ensuring the safety of treatment delivery. This review summarizes the biological underpinning of “radio-sensitizing genes”, discusses the clinical basis and evidence for identifying genetic mutations as radiation response biomarkers, and proposes future directions for research as well as clinical implementation. Abstract Radiation treatment (RT) is a mainstay treatment for many types of cancer. Recommendations for RT and the radiation plan are individualized to each patient, taking into consideration the patient’s tumor pathology, staging, anatomy, and other clinical characteristics. Information on germline mutations and somatic tumor mutations is at present rarely used to guide specific clinical decisions in RT. Many genes, such as ATM, and BRCA1/2, have been identified in the laboratory to confer radiation sensitivity. However, our understanding of the clinical significance of mutations in these genes remains limited and, as individual mutations in such genes can be rare, their impact on tumor response and toxicity remains unclear. Current guidelines, including those from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), provide limited guidance on how genetic results should be integrated into RT recommendations. With an increasing understanding of the molecular underpinning of radiation response, genomically-guided RT can inform decisions surrounding RT dose, volume, concurrent therapies, and even omission to further improve oncologic outcomes and reduce risks of toxicities. Here, we review existing evidence from laboratory, pre-clinical, and clinical studies with regard to how genetic alterations may affect radiosensitivity. We also summarize recent data from clinical trials and explore potential future directions to utilize genetic data to support clinical decision-making in developing a pathway toward personalized RT.
Get to Know Your Neighbors: Characterization of Close Bacillus anthracis Isolates and Toxin Profile Diversity in the Bacillus cereus Group

Unexpected atypical isolates of Bacillus cereus s.l. occasionally challenge conventional microbiology and even the most advanced techniques for anthrax detection. For anticipating and gaining trust, 65 isolates of Bacillus cereus s.l. of diverse origin were sequenced and characterized. The BTyper3 tool was used for assignation to genomospecies B. mosaicus (34), B. cereus s.s (29) and B. toyonensis (2), as well as virulence factors and toxin profiling. None of them carried any capsule or anthrax-toxin genes. All harbored the non-hemolytic toxin nheABC and sphygomyelinase spH genes, whereas 41 (63%), 30 (46%), 11 (17%) and 6 (9%) isolates harbored cytK-2, hblABCD, cesABCD and at least one insecticidal toxin gene, respectively. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry confirmed the production of cereulide (ces genes). Phylogeny inferred from single-nucleotide polymorphisms positioned isolates relative to the B. anthracis lineage. One isolate (BC38B) was of particular interest as it appeared to be the closest B. anthracis neighbor described so far. It harbored a large plasmid similar to other previously described B. cereus s.l. megaplasmids and at a lower extent to pXO1. Whereas bacterial collection is enriched, these high-quality public genetic data offer additional knowledge for better risk assessment using future NGS-based technologies of detection.
The Role of BDNF, YBX1, CENPF, ZSCAN4, TEAD4, GLIS1 and USF1 in the Activation of the Embryonic Genome in Bovine Embryos

Early embryonic development relies on the maternal RNAs and newly synthesized proteins during oogenesis. Zygotic transcription is an important event occurring at a specific time after fertilization. If no zygotic transcription occurs, the embryo will die because it is unable to meet the needs of the embryo and continue to grow. During the early stages of embryonic development, the correct transcription, translation, and expression of genes play a crucial role in blastocyst formation and differentiation of cell lineage species formation among mammalian species, and any variation may lead to developmental defects, arrest, or even death. Abnormal expression of some genes may lead to failure of the embryonic zygote genome before activation, such as BDNF and YBX1; Decreased expression of CENPF, ZSCAN4, TEAD4, GLIS1, and USF1 genes can lead to embryonic development failure. This article reviews the results of studies on the timing and mechanism of gene expression of these genes in bovine fertilized eggs/embryos.
