The Role of Gender in Parliamentary Attacks and Incivility

It has been well established that politicians attack their competitors to reach their political goals. As such, there is a considerable amount of literature on their attack behaviour. However, this literature almost exclusively investigates attack behaviour during campaigns, and so far, few studies have addressed the nature of attacks during more routine times in parliaments. This article aims to fill this gap by examining in-parliament attack behaviour and, more specifically, the gender characteristics of attacks. It is theorised that women are less likely to attack and be attacked than men due to the stereotypical gender roles. However, it is anticipated that this compliance to stereotypes diminishes as proximity to elections increases, resulting in women engaging in attacks as much as men. To limit the cost of their divergence, attacks employed by and toward women are expected to be more civil. Lastly, this study argues that adherence to gender stereotypes is stronger in countries with candidate-centred parliamentary systems than party-centred ones. This study finds support for the theoretical framework using longitudinal data on individual attacks in the parliaments of Belgium, Croatia, and the UK. Results confirm that politicians adhere to gender stereotypical roles in parliaments, with women attacking and being targeted less than men, and when women do attack or are targeted, less incivility is employed. Proximity to elections makes both women and men more hostile, but women lower the cost of their increasing attack behaviour by using less incivility, unlike men who increasingly opt for uncivil attacks closer to elections. Additionally, these findings strongly apply in the candidate-centred system of the UK, whereas in the party-centred system of Belgium and Croatia, hardly any support for the theory can be found.
Elevator Car Vibration Signal Denoising Method Based on CEEMD and Bilateral Filtering

Elevator car vibration signals are important information to monitor and diagnose the operating status of elevators, but during the process of vibration signals acquisition, vibration signals are always inevitably disturbed by noise, which affects further research. Therefore, aiming at the vibration signal with noise, we propose a new vibration signal denoising method on the basis of complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) and bilateral filtering. Firstly, the collected original vibration signals are decomposed by the CEEMD into several inherent mode functions. Then, the false components are removed by determining the correlation coefficients of mode components, and then the noise-dominate components are denoised by bilateral filtering. Finally, the processed inherent mode functions are reconstructed to require the denoised signal. We test the method through simulation and practical application. The results indicate that the proposed method can efficaciously reduce the noise in the vibration signal of an elevator car.
Empirical analysis of the role of new energy transition in promoting china’s economy

In order to accelerate the development of new energy industry and social economy, this paper presents an empirical analysis of the role of new energy transformation in promoting China’s economy. On the basis of analyzing the concept and types of new energy, the necessity of transformation and upgrading of new energy industry is discussed. The new energy consumption data from 2010 to 2020 and China’s GDP data are selected as the basic data, and the MS-VAR model is used as the base model for the empirical analysis. The model combines the Markov zone transition model and the autoregressive model, which is suitable for analyzing non-linear problems. The results of the empirical analysis show that the new energy transition is an important way to promote new energy consumption, and it plays a role in promoting the balanced development of China’s economic growth. Combining the results of the empirical analysis, this paper gives suggestions related to the new energy transition from the institutional, economic and technological perspectives.
Optotracing for live selective fluorescence-based detection of Candida albicans biofilms

Candida albicans is the most common fungal pathogen in humans, implicated in hospital-acquired infections, secondary infections in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients, and is a significant contributor to the global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) burden. Early detection of this pathogen is needed to guide preventative strategies and the selection and development of therapeutic treatments. Fungal biofilms are a unique heterogeneous mix of cell types, extracellular carbohydrates and amyloid aggregates. Perhaps due to the dominance of carbohydrates in fungi, to date, few specific methods are available for the detection of fungal biofilms. Here we present a new optotracing-based method for the detection and analysis of yeast and biofilms based on C. albicans SC5314 as a model. Using commercial extracts of cell wall carbohydrates, we showed the capability of the optotracer EbbaBiolight 680 for detecting chitin and β-glucans. The sensitivity of this tracer to these carbohydrates in their native environment within fungal cells enabled the visualization of both yeast and hyphal forms of the microbe. Analysis of optotracer fluorescence by confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed extensive staining of fungi cell walls as well as the presence of intracellular amyloid aggregates within a subpopulation of cells within the biofilm. Further analysis of the photophysical properties of bound tracers by spectroscopy and spectral imaging revealed polymorphisms between amyloid aggregates within yeast and hyphal cells and enabled their differentiation. With exceptional spatial and temporal resolution, this assay adds a new technique that facilitates future understanding of fungal biofilms and their formation, and enables direct, unbiased diagnostics of these medically relevant biofilms, as well as the development of antifungal strategies.
Structural Phase Transitions of PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 Ceramic: An Infrared Spectroscopy Study

The recent discovery of a ferroelectric monoclinic phase in the PbZr1−xTixO3 (PZT) system attained the attention of several researchers due to the possibility of understanding the relationships between structural features and piezoelectric properties. The nature of the monoclinic phase in some PZT compositions remains controversial and unclear. In this work, structural phase transitions of PbZr0.52Ti0. 48O3 ceramic were investigated by infrared spectroscopy as a function of temperature. Studies were centered on ν1-stretching modes and corresponding half width Wi as a function of temperature. The occurrence of the anomalies in the infrared spectra as a function of temperature suggests the following monoclinic (LT) → monoclinic (HT) → tetragonal phase transition were observed at 183 K and at 263 K.
The role of fetal adipose tissue thicknesses measured ultrasonographically in the prediction of gestational diabetes

AIM This study aims to investigate whether second-trimester fetal adipose tissue components reflect glycemic control in diabetic pregnancies and their role as an auxiliary method in predicting gestational diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was designed prospectively, cross-sectionally in 300 pregnant women 24-28 weeks of gestation between April 2020 and July 2020. The adipose tissue thickness of the humerus, femur, scapula, and abdominal circumference was examined by transabdominal ultrasound. The age, body mass index, family history of diabetes, and diabetes history in previous pregnancies of the groups were questioned. RESULTS The anterior abdominal wall adipose tissue thickness of the fetuses we included in the study was 5 ± 0.8 mm, femur adipose tissue thickness was 4 ± 0.7 mm, humerus adipose tissue thickness was 3.7 ± 0.7 mm, scapula adipose tissue thickness was 4.1 ± 2,2 mm. The total adipose tissue thickness was 16.9 ± 2.9 mm. A statistically significant correlation was found between femoral adipose tissue thickness (p = 0.001) and humeral adipose tissue thickness (p = 0.023) in gestational diabetes groups. Patients with a diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (n = 60) constituted the first group, patients without GDM (n =240) constituted the second group. In our independent analysis of two groups, femur and humerus adipose tissue thickness were found to be statistically significantly different between both groups (p= 0.002, p = 0.043, respectively). Other parameters did not differ significantly between groups. Between three groups (healthy, impaired glucose tolerance, and gestational diabetes groups). Femoral adipose tissue thickness was statistically significant among the three groups (p = 0.005). As a result of binary logistic regression, if the femoral adipose tissue thickness was above 4.1 mm, the possibility of developing GDM was observed with 63.8% sensitivity and 65% specificity. CONCLUSION In the prediction of gestational diabetes, fetus femoral adipose tissue thickness may be significant

Feasible computation in higher types

We study the notion of feasible functional of finite type. For type level 2, we consider the oracle Turing machine model, and examine Mehlhorn's class of feasible functionals for this model. We give a new characterization of Mehlhorn's class, using a generalization of polynomials to type 2, and consider extensions of Mehlhorn's class. For higher type levels, we introduce a new computational model using a programming language approach, and define a class of feasible functionals for this model which is a generalization of the type 2 feasible functionals to higher types.
Effects of on-Table Extubation after Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, reassessing physiology to improve clinical outcomes, reducing length of hospital stay (LOS) stay, resulting in cost reduction. Since its introduction in colorectal surgery. the concept has been utilized in various fields and benefits have been recognized also in adult cardiac surgery. However, ERAS concepts in pediatric cardiac surgery are not yet widely established. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the effects of on-table extubation (OTE) after pediatric cardiac surgery compared to the standard approach of delayed extubation (DET) during intensive care treatment. Study Design and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of all pediatric cardiac surgery cases performed in children below the age of two years using cardiopulmonary bypass at our institution in 2021. Exclusion criteria were emergency and off pump surgeries as well as children already ventilated preoperatively. Results: OTE children were older (267.3 days vs. 126.7 days, p < 0.001), had a higher body weight (7.0 ± 1.6 kg vs. 4.9 ± 1.9 kg, p < 0.001), showed significantly reduced duration of ICU treatment (75.9 ± 56.8 h vs. 217.2 ± 211.4 h, p < 0.001) and LOS (11.1 ± 10.2 days vs. 20.1 ± 23.4 days; p = 0.001) compared to DET group. Furthermore, OTE children had significantly fewer catecholamine dependencies at 12-, 24-, 48-, and 72-h post-surgery, while DET children showed a significantly increased intrafluid shift relative to body weight (109.1 ± 82.0 mL/kg body weight vs. 63.0 ± 63.0 mL/kg body weight, p < 0.001). After propensity score matching considering age, weight, bypass duration, Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Mortality (STATS)-Score, and the outcome variables, including duration of ICU treatment, catecholamine dependencies, and hospital LOS, findings significantly favored the OTE group. Conclusion: Our results suggest that on-table extubation after pediatric cardiac surgery is feasible and in our cohort was associated with a favorable postoperative course.
Sign Language Recognition Method Based on Palm Definition Model and Multiple Classification

Technologies for pattern recognition are used in various fields. One of the most relevant and important directions is the use of pattern recognition technology, such as gesture recognition, in socially significant tasks, to develop automatic sign language interpretation systems in real time. More than 5% of the world’s population—about 430 million people, including 34 million children—are deaf-mute and not always able to use the services of a living sign language interpreter. Almost 80% of people with a disabling hearing loss live in low- and middle-income countries. The development of low-cost systems of automatic sign language interpretation, without the use of expensive sensors and unique cameras, would improve the lives of people with disabilities, contributing to their unhindered integration into society. To this end, in order to find an optimal solution to the problem, this article analyzes suitable methods of gesture recognition in the context of their use in automatic gesture recognition systems, to further determine the most optimal methods. From the analysis, an algorithm based on the palm definition model and linear models for recognizing the shapes of numbers and letters of the Kazakh sign language are proposed. The advantage of the proposed algorithm is that it fully recognizes 41 letters of the 42 in the Kazakh sign alphabet. Until this time, only Russian letters in the Kazakh alphabet have been recognized. In addition, a unified function has been integrated into our system to configure the frame depth map mode, which has improved recognition performance and can be used to create a multimodal database of video data of gesture words for the gesture recognition system.
Implementation and Effectiveness of Policies Adopted to Enable Breastfeeding in the Philippines Are Limited by Structural and Individual Barriers

The Philippines has adopted policies to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding on par with global standards, yet the impact of these policies is not well understood. This study assesses the adequacy and potential impact of breastfeeding policies, as well as the perceptions of stakeholders of their effectiveness and how to address implementation barriers. This mixed methods study entailed a desk review of policies and documents and in-depth interviews with 100 caregivers, employees, employers, health workers, and policymakers in the Greater Manila Area. Although the Philippines has a comprehensive breastfeeding policy framework, its effectiveness was limited by structural and individual barriers. Structural barriers included inconsistent breastfeeding promotion, limited access of mothers to skilled counseling, limited workplace breastfeeding support, gaps in legal provisions, weak monitoring and enforcement of the Philippine Milk Code, and the short duration and limited coverage of maternity leave. Individual barriers included knowledge and skills gaps, misconceptions, and low self-confidence among mothers due to insufficient support to address breastfeeding problems, misconceptions in the community that undermine breastfeeding, limited knowledge and skills of health workers, and insufficient support extended to mothers by household members. Breastfeeding policies in the Philippines are consistent with global standards, but actions to address structural and individual barriers are needed to enhance their effectiveness for improving breastfeeding practices.

Prekanseröz lezyonlar açısından, fibrokistik değişiklikliklerde epitelial proliferasyonun dikkatli incelenmesi ve hastayı izleyen hekimlerin bu yönden bilgilendirilmesi önemlidir.
Las variables sociales y la conciencia metacognitiva de los jóvenes adultos colombianos

La metacognición se define como un proceso reflexivo que permite a las personas monitorear, controlar y autorregular su comportamiento. Sin embargo, la metacognición rara vez se ha estudiado con variables más allá del contexto educativo, como variables sociales, conductuales o clínicas. Así, el propósito del presente estudio fue explorar la relación entre las variables sociales y la conciencia metacognitiva subjetiva y si estas mismas variables sociales predicen componentes de la conciencia metacognitiva (conocimiento y regulación de la cognición). Con una muestra de estudiantes universitarios (N = 246), los resultados revelaron que no solo existen correlaciones significativas entre algunas variables sociales y ambos componentes de la conciencia metacognitiva, sino que esas mismas variables sociales predijeron la conciencia metacognitiva. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados en contextos educativos y clínicos.
Ultrastructure Characteristics and Sexual Dimorphism of Antennal Sensilla in Tirathaba rufivena (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Simple Summary To elucidate the external morphology and internal structures of antennal sensilla that could play a role in locating host plants and mates, we describe and further characterize the ultrastructure, abundance and distribution of nine sensilla types in both sexes using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Sexual dimorphism mainly occurs in variation in the length of sensilla basiconica, sensilla chaetica, sensilla coeloconica 1 and Böhm sensilla, and the abundance of sensilla basiconica, sensilla auricillica 1 and sensilla auricillica 2. The possible structural function of each kind of sensillum is discussed. These results provide direct morphological evidence that the antennae of Tirathaba rufivena possess structures that can play a role in locating mates and host plants. Abstract Tirathaba rufivena Walker, a major insect pest of Areca catechu L. , has severely threatened areca nut cultivation in Hainan, China. To improve our understanding of the communication mechanism in host plant seeking and mate-finding for T. rufivena, we described and further characterized the external morphology and internal sensilla structures using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy in this study. The antennal morphology was similar between males and females, and there was no significant difference in length between the two sexes. In total, nine sensilla types were identified: sensilla trichodea (Str), sensilla chaetica (Sch), sensilla basiconica (Sba), sensilla auricillica (Sau), sensilla coeloconica (Sco), sensilla styloconica (Sst), Böhm sensilla (Bs), uniporous peg sensilla (Ups) and sensilla squamiformia (Ssq). Sexual dimorphism mainly occurs in variation in the length of Sba, Sch, Sco1 and Bs, and the abundance of Sba, Sau1 and Sau2. The Sba had larger size and numbers on female antennae than that on males, suggesting that these sensilla might have important roles in locating host plants. Both Sau1 and Sau2 were significantly more abundant in females and were probably associated with the detection of mates and host plant for oviposition. These data were important for ongoing studies on host plant seeking and mate-finding behavior in T. rufivena and provided a theoretical foundation to further studies of semiochemical control for this pest.

A Discrete--Delay Dynamic Model for the Stock Market

The time evolution of prices and savings in a stock market is modeled by a discrete-delay nonlinear dynamic system. The proposed model has a unique and unstable steady-state, so its time evolution is determined by the nonlinear effects acting out of the equilibrium. We perform the analysis of the linear approximation through the study of the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix in order to characterize the local stability properties and the local bifurcations in the parameter space. If the delay is equal to zero, Lyapunov exponents are calculated. For certain values of the parameters, we prove that the system has a chaotic behaviour. The discrete nonlinear model is associated with a discrete stochastic model. For the liniarization of this model, we establish the conditions for which the mean and quadratic mean values of the state variables are asymptotically stable. Some numerical examples are finally given to justify the theoretical results.
