Modelling Tools: From Sweden to Pan-European Scales for European WFD Data Requirements

In Sweden the Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) is responsible for delivering highresolution data to water authorities, to support their work on characterisation of water body status, establishment of environmental goals, remedial measure planning, and development of monitoring strategies to support the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). A high-resolution hydrological and nutrient model, S-HYPE, was developed for the Swedish landmass. The SMHI has also set up a similar high-resolution hydrological model for calculating discharge across the European continent (EHYPE) and furthermore, to calculate nutrient fluxes across the Baltic Sea catchment area (BaltHYPE). These applications and S-HYPE may be used in the appropriate region for characterisation of water body status, establishment of environmental goals, remedial measure planning, and development of monitoring strategies to support the WFD. This is necessary as most waterbodies do not have monitoring programmes, and modelled data is used for expert judgments. The applications were set-up using the HYPE model, a new, daily time-stepping hydrological model (Lindstrom et al. 2010) using readily available regional databases for model input and evaluation. The model applications are used to assess, at high-resolution, discharge variables, nutrient loadings and source apportionment. The applications describe present climate variability, closely linked to observed data where such is available, and can also be applied using climate model data to predict future conditions. Results were compared with published values for a wide variety of locations within the model domain for evaluation purposes. Comparisons indicate that S-HYPE, E-HYPE and Balt-HYPE are useful tools for evaluating hydrological and nutrient fluxes. Examples of model performance will be given for various scales, as well as some preliminary results of climate change impact on different variables. The approach could be exported to other European countries in cooperation with local authorities and end-users.
The Burden of Air Pollution: A Perspective on Global Health Inequalities

The aim of the research presented here is to assess the magnitude of the burden of health limitations due to air pollution on the world’s economies. This burden was determined by the estimated number of premature years of life lost (YLLs) or years of health lost (YLDs) due to air-pollution-related diseases in the working-age population. Attention was drawn to the problem of existing inequalities in the global burden between economies with different income levels. The hypothesis of persistently high levels of inequality was tested by analysing the convergence process in a group of 204 countries over the period 1990–2019. The results indicate a high degree of variation in the level of health problems caused by air pollution. The analysis of the catching-up process of the most disadvantaged countries (with the highest level of health impacts from air pollution) did not show a positive convergence effect in the study group.
Analyzing the Alignment between AI Curriculum and AI Textbooks through Text Mining

The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is permeating education worldwide, reflecting societal changes driven by advancements in computing technology and the data revolution. Herein, we analyze the alignment between core AI educational curricula and textbooks to provide guidance on structuring AI knowledge. Text mining techniques using Python 3.10. 3 and frame-based content analysis tailored to the computing field are employed to examine a substantial amount of text data within educational curriculum textbooks. We comprehensively examine the frequency of knowledge incorporated in AI curricula, topic structure, and practical tool utilization. The degree to which keywords are reflected in curriculum textbooks and in the textbook characteristics are determined using Term Frequency (TF) and Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) analysis, respectively. The topic structure distribution is derived by Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling and the trained model is visualized using PyLDAvis. Furthermore, the variation in vertical content range or level is investigated by content analysis, considering the tools used to teach similar AI knowledge. Lastly, the implications for AI curriculum structure are discussed in terms of curriculum composition, knowledge construction, practical application, and curriculum utilization. This study provides practical guidance for structuring curricula that effectively foster AI competency based on a systematic research methodology.
Psychometric Characteristics of the Persian Version of the Opiate Dosage Adequacy Scale (ODAS)

Introduction: The opiate dosage adequacy scale (ODAS) is one of the most common assessment tools in studies on substance use disorders, which evaluates the “adequacy” of opiate medication doses in individuals recruited in maintenance approaches. There is no investigation on the Persian version of this questionnaire in Iran. This research validated a Persian version of the ODAS. Methods: The Persian version of the ODAS was translated and revised based on the original scale presented by González-Saiz et al. The psychometric characteristics of the ODAS were assessed via direct interviews. Three trained interviewers questioned 250 patients treated in methadone maintenance clinics in Mazandaran Province (Northern Iran) for more than three months. Internal consistency and factor analysis were conducted using SPSS software, version 24. Results: The internal consistency of ODAS was satisfactory (Cronbach’s α=0.81). Across all items, considerable inter-rater reliability was discovered (kappa values between 0.90 and 1). A four-component structure was produced by the factor analysis that accounted for 77.5% of the total variance. Cronbach’s α coefficients of the four components of Heroin craving and overmedication, Consumption, objective opiate withdrawal symptoms, and subjective opiate withdrawal symptoms were 0.84, 0.91, 0.83, and 0.74, respectively. Conclusion: The reliability and validity of the Persian version of the ODAS were satisfactory in a sample of methadone maintenance subjects. Highlights The opiate dosage adequacy scale (ODAS) is a clinical tool for measuring the adequacy of methadone doses The Persian version of ODAS has good validity, internal consistency, and inter-rater reliability; The Persian version of the ODAS, as a valid and reliable tool, can be used for the Iranian people under methadone maintenance. Plain Language Summary In Iran, opioids are among the most common forms of illicit drugs. In opioid maintenance programs, the adequacy of methadone doses has an important effect on treatment outcomes. Clinicians typically assess the adequacy of doses based on the patient's response to the medication. Different tools are used in clinical studies to evaluate it. One of these tools is the ODAS, developed by González-Saiz et al. In the present study, we validated the Persian version of the ODAS for Iranian patients receiving methadone maintenance programs. The results confirmed the four-factor structure of the Persian ODAS and showed its good internal consistency and inter-rater reliability.
Cropping systems and fertilization effects on erosion and soil quality in Moldavian Plain.

Investigations, set up in 1968, were carried out on a Cambic Chernozem with a slope of 14%. They have shown the influence of different crop rotations and fertilization on soil erosion and fertility. On slope lands from the Moldavian Plain, a good supply in mobile phosphorus for field crops (36-49 mg kg) was kept in case of the annual application of a rate of N100P80, and a very good supply in mobile phosphorus (71-78 mg kg ) and mobile potassium (over 200 mg kg) was found at a rate of N80P60+30 t ha of organic manure, applied in 3 or 4 -year crop rotations with legumes and perennial grasses. The total carbon mass on Cambic Chernozem from the Moldavian Plain has registered significant increases at higher than N140P100 rates, at organo-mineral fertilization and in 4-year crop rotation + reserve field cultivated with perennial grasses and legumes. The mean yield increases in wheat, during 1998-2009, were between 23 and 27 %, due to crop rotation and between 58 and 104 %, due to applied fertilizer rates. The determination of water runoff, soil, humus and nutritive element losses by erosion in different crops was done by means of loss control plots, which are isolated from the rest of the area by metallic walls and have basins and devices for division; we took water and soil samples from plots, for determining the partial turbidity and for analyses of chemical elements. On 16% slope lands, the crop structure, which determined the diminution in mean soil losses by erosion until 2.3 t/ha/year included 20 % straw cereals (winter wheat), 20% annual legumes (pea), 20% row crops (maize) and 40 % perennial grasses and legumes.
Supplementation with Rumen-Protected Methionine Reduced the Parasitic Effect of Haemonchus contortus in Goats

Simple Summary In this study, we investigated the impact of rumen-protected methionine supplementation on the response of Creole goat kids to an experimental infection with Haemonchus contortus, a gastrointestinal parasite that affects small ruminants. We found that while serum IgA anti-ESP was increased in methionine-supplemented animals, no significant effect on the level of parasitism was observed. However, our results suggested that methionine supplementation mitigated the detrimental pathophysiological impact of the infection. This study highlights the need for further research on ruminants to better understand how amino acids can influence the host’s immune response to parasitic infections. This knowledge could potentially lead to new strategies for controlling these infections in livestock, benefitting both animal health and welfare and production performances. Abstract The present study investigated the impact of rumen-protected (RP) methionine supplementation on the resistance and resilience to Haemonchus contortus experimental infection of goat kids. Twenty-seven 6-month-old goat kids (14.55 ± 2.7 kg body weight) were placed in individual pens during an experimental period of forty-two days. Each kid was placed under one of three distinct diets (n = 9 animals/diet) corresponding to the following experimental groups: Control (C, Hay + concentrate), Low Methionine (LM, Hay + concentrate + 3.5 g/Kg of Dry Matter (DM) of RP methionine, or High Methionine (HM, Hay + concentrate + 11.5 g/Kg of DM of RP methionine). After a 4-week period of adaptation to the diets, all the animals were experimentally infected with a single oral dose of 10,000 H. contortus third-stage infective larvae (L3). No significant effect of RP methionine supplementation was observed for feed intake, digestibility and growth performance. The faecal egg counts (FEC) and worm burdens were not impacted by RP methionine supplementation either. In contrast, Packed cell volume (PCV) and haemoglobin concentration were higher in kids supplemented with RP methionine. Similarly, the level of serum IgA directed against adult H. contortus excretion and secretion products (ESP) was higher in supplemented kids. These results suggested that RP methionine supplementation improved goat kids’ resilience against H. contortus infection.
Deciphering the Rosetta Stone - Trans-Mitral Doppler Patterns for a Simplified Study of Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction

There is a renewed interest in heart failure treatments. With this, there is an increasing interest in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Trans-mitral Doppler is commonly used in the assessment of ‘diastolic’ function. It is fashionable to discuss diastolic dysfunction and diastology with the result that the more important systolic dysfunction has become passé. The current literature equates trans-mitral Doppler patterns to diastolic function when actually it is more relevant in systolic dysfunction. This article is an attempt to correct this flawed perception of trans-mitral Doppler.
The Impact of Sustainable Development Goals on Collaborative Entrepreneurship and Creating Transformational Leaders Towards Sustainable Business Models

The 2019 Coronavirus pandemic has revealed a world where the status quo no longer holds, reigniting the social debate on sustainability. Many people are becoming aware of the planet's vulnerability to natural disasters resulting from our current way of life and business practices. Due to these climate emergencies, climate change's impact could cost corporations $1 trillion in the next five years. In 2015, The 193 United Nations General Assembly member states witnessed and endorsed the '2030 Development Agenda' titled 'Transforming Our World. ' The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a collection of 17 interconnected global goals set by the United Nations to serve as a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. " The question then arises, what should be done? This research aims to determine how Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) inspire collaborative and transformational leaders within the organization, thereby creating Sustainable Business Models. The empirical data for this study was collected from 327 respondents from various industries in Indonesia. According to this study, the UN’s SDGs are ineffective motivators for developing a Sustainable Business Model. However, business process sustainability becomes evident when collaborative actions and transformational leaders are utilized as intermediaries.
Prediction of Exercise Tolerance in the Severe and Extreme Intensity Domains by a Critical Power Model

This study aimed to assess the predictive capability of different critical power (CP) models on cycling exercise tolerance in the severe- and extreme-intensity domains. Nineteen cyclists (age: 23.0 ± 2.7 y) performed several time-to-exhaustion tests (Tlim) to determine CP, finite work above CP (W'), and the highest constant work rate at which maximal oxygen consumption was attained (IHIGH). Hyperbolic power-time, linear power-inverse of time, and work-time models with three predictive trials were used to determine CP and W'. Modeling with two predictive trials of the CP work-time model was also used to determine CP and W'. Actual exercise tolerance of IHIGH and intensity 5% above IHIGH (IHIGH+5%) were compared to those predicted by all CP models. Actual IHIGH (155 ± 30 s) and IHIGH+5% (120 ± 26 s) performances were not different from those predicted by all models with three predictive trials. Modeling with two predictive trials overestimated Tlim at IHIGH+5% (129 ± 33 s; p = 0.04). Bland-Altman plots of IHIGH+5% presented significant heteroscedasticity by all CP predictions, but not for IHIGH. Exercise tolerance in the severe and extreme domains can be predicted by CP derived from three predictive trials. However, this ability is impaired within the extreme domain.
Women's preference for dominant male odour: effects of menstrual cycle and relationship status

Body odour may provide significant cues about a potential sexual partner's genetic quality, reproductive status and health. In animals, a key trait in a female's choice of sexual partner is male dominance but, to date, this has not been examined in humans. Here, we show that women in the fertile phase of their cycle prefer body odour of males who score high on a questionnaire-based dominance scale (international personality items pool). In accordance with the theory of mixed mating strategies, this preference varies with relationship status, being much stronger in fertile women in stable relationships than in fertile single women.
Chemo-profiling and bioactivities of Taif rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) industrial by-products after hydrodistillation

This study investigated the chemical composition of Rosa damascena Mill. (grown in the Taif region of Saudi Arabia), in relation to their potential as antioxidants and anticancer agents. The rose flowers are used to produce essential oils and hydrosol, but the process generates a significant amount of —solid and liquid. They contain biologically active compounds and can be treated as by-products. This study aimed to characterize these materials and analyze their extracts for biological activity. The total phenolic, flavonol, and flavonoid contents were quantified, and their chemical compositions were determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. The antioxidant properties were estimated in vitro using three methods [1,1-diphenyl picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, phosphomolybdenum, and ferric reducing power assays], while an anticancer test was carried out using the liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2). The findings showed that the texture’s n -butanol ( n -BuOH) fraction had the highest overall phenolic, flavonoid, and flavonol contents (230.69 ± 10.50 mg gallic acid equivalents /g ext., 71.66 ± 3.15 mg RE/g ext., and 51.70 ± 0.61 mg QE/g ext., respectively). The liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry analysis of the by-product extracts led to identifying 55 polyphenolic compounds, including organic acids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and tannins, of which some constituents were described in Rosa extracts for the first time. In addition, the n -BuOH fraction of the texture and wastewater had a significant DPPH radical scavenging activity with SC 50s values of 7.57 ± 0.01 and 12.78 ± 0.13 µg/ml, respectively. Furthermore, the cytotoxic activity of the n -BuOH fraction of texture showed the highest activity on HepG2 (IC 50 = 12.1 ± 0.85 μg/ml) followed by wastewater n -BuOH fr. (IC 50 = 14.00 ± 1.05 μg/ml) and the methanolic extract of texture (IC 50 = 20.5 ± 1.41 μg/ml). Our findings indicated that rose industrial by-products are enriched with polyphenolic compounds with promising antioxidants and anticancer activities. Thus, they could be used as a food supplement.
Attribute Based Conjunctive Keywords Search With Verifiability and Fair Payment Using Blockchain

Cloud computing has brought great convenience to data storage and resource sharing, however, there are still concerns about data security and service quality. Attribute-based encryption (ABE) and searchable encryption (SE) are always adopted to achieve data access authorization and data retrieval on encrypted data in data sharing, respectively. But more efficient and accurate methods have been always pursued. Moreover, the spoofing attack is another important aspect that raises concerns, especially when it comes to reliability of search results and online payments. Blockchain, an emerging technology that can be used to solve the problem of trust, has shown great application potential in finance and data sharing. Based on blockchain, we propose an attribute-based conjunctive keyword search (ABCKS) scheme with verifiability and fairness. In this paper, data privacy-preserving, fine-grained access control, and multi-keywords search can be supported simultaneously. Blockchain and smart contract are employed to facilitate the search result verification process and ensure fair payment in the trustless case. Furthermore, we reduce the user's decryption load to a constant level by performing partial decryption on the cloud side. Finally, the results of the performance evaluation indicate that our scheme has higher efficiency and security.
Analyse palynologique de quatre carottes du Golfe du Lion : application à la restitution de la végétation et du climat du midi de la France pendant le dernier cycle climatique et à la stratigraphie marine

L'evolution du climat et l'histoire de la vegetation dans le golfe du lion au cours du dernier cycle climatique ont ete retracees a travers l'analyse palynologique dans le cadre chronologique du c#1#4. Cette etude a porte sur quatre sequences sedimentaires marines dont les diagrammes polliniques ont suggere l'existence de lacunes de sedimentation et ont permis, pour la premiere fois, de proposer des ages precis pour les differents corps sedimentaires. Les changements reconnus en mediterranee occidentale sont en phase avec l'evolution globale du climat : c'est la premiere fois qu'une sequence palynologique couvrant une grande partie du dernier cycle climatique est enregitree au voisinage le littoral nord-ouest mediterraneen. L'impact humain est surtout marque sur les diagrammes polliniques des deux carottes recentes par l'extension maximale des cultures (juglans, olea, castanea, vitis, cannabis, etc. ) et celle des plantes ruderales marqueurs antrhopiques (rumex, plantago, etc. ). En egard aux reserves que l'on peut apporter sur le sens de certains assemblages polliniques, les variations de la vegetation et du climat telles que nous les avons percues dans ces sondages marins apparaissent coherentes avec les donnees polliniques provenant de sites continentaux du centre de la france et des sites continentaux ou marins d'italie meridionale.

Herbal Allies for Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Comprehensive Review of Natural Products

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting primarily the joints, producing discomfort, inflammation, and potentially damaging joint destruction. Rheumatoid arthritis affects people all around the world, and its prevalence and impact differ by place. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 0.5% to 1% of the global population has rheumatoid arthritis. To decrease the progression of rheumatoid arthritis, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic medications (DMARDs) such as methotrexate and sulfasalazine are used. TNF inhibitors and IL-6 inhibitors are two examples of biologic DMARDs that target specific immune system components. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics help manage pain and inflammation while corticosteroids provide short-term relief during flares. Treatment strategies are tailored to the individual, and talking with a healthcare expert is essential for effective management. Herbal therapies are regarded to offer an advantage over synthetic pharmaceuticals for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis due to their natural approach, potential symptom relief, holistic approach to health, and individualised therapy possibilities. However, scientific data supporting their effectiveness is sparse and variable, and their quality and safety can vary. Before adopting herbal therapies as part of a treatment plan, it is critical to check with a healthcare expert. Because of their natural chemicals with anti-inflammatory and analgesic characteristics, medicinal herbs may aid rheumatoid arthritis. However, further research is required to determine their efficacy, safety, and appropriate application.
