AIR POLLUTION AND MANUFACTURING FIRM PRODUCTIVITY: NATIONWIDE ESTIMATES FOR CHINA ∗

We provide nationwide causal estimates of air pollution’s effect on short-run productivity for China’s manufacturing sector from 1998 to 2007. Using thermal inversions as an instrument, a 1 μ g/m 3 decrease in PM 2.5 increases productivity by 0.82% (elasticity of − 0.44). Increased hiring attenuates the elasticity to − 0.17. Differential effects of a trade shock on coastal versus inner regions imply a pollution elasticity of output of 1.43. Simulating a dynamic general-equilibrium model yields an output elasticity of − 0.28 with respect to PM 2.5 . An exogenous 1% decrease in PM 2.5 nationwide increases gross domestic product by 0.039%.
Myofibrillar Protein Profile of The Breast Muscle in Turkeys as a Response to The Variable Ratio of Limiting Amino Acids in Feed

The effects of the different dietary levels of Arginine (Arg) in low- and high-methionine (Met) diets on the meat quality and myofibrillar protein profile of breast muscles from turkeys were determined. The experiment had a completely randomized 3 × 2 factorial design with three levels of Arg (90%, 100%, and 110%) relative to the dietary Met levels (30% or 45%). At 42 days of age, eight turkeys from each treatment were sacrificed; the meat pH value was measured at 48 h post-slaughter, and meat color was measured according to the CIE L*a*b* system. The SDS-PAGE method was performed to investigate the myofibrillar protein profile of the breast muscle. The analysis of variance showed a significant effect of the Arg or Met dietary levels on the color parameter b* and the profile of myofibrillar proteins in muscles. The results of the cluster analysis of the myofibrillar protein profile showed that, with a high level of Arg (i.e., 110%), the level of Met 35% or 45% was less important. It can be concluded that the increase in the share of Arg and Met in the diet of turkeys increases the content of some myofibrillar proteins (actinin, desmin, actin) and reduces degradation during the post-slaughter proteolysis of proteins that are considered tenderization indicators.
Rethinking Dignity and Exploitation in Human Trafficking and Sex Workers’ Rights Cases

As forced migration increases dramatically due to such factors as climate change, rising conflict, and authoritarianism, more legal cases on human trafficking and sex work are sure to arise. To date, very few cases on these issues have been decided in international human rights tribunals, and they have been subject to extensive criticism, especially for their conflation of slavery, human trafficking, forced prostitution, and consensual sex work. This manuscript analyzes recent jurisprudence from Europe and Africa to address this conceptual confusion and argue that tribunals must interrogate their use of the terms dignity and exploitation or risk further marginalizing already marginalized people.
A mutual comparison of pregnancy outcomes between different conception modes: a propensity score matching based retrospective cohort study

Background Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been reported to have negative effects on maternal and neonatal health. Ovulation induction (OI) was reported to be associated with alteration of epigenetic modification of mice embryos, and extinguishing the influence of ovulation induction and in vitro operations on maternal and neonatal health will bring benefits for reducing side effects. The present study aimed to determine whether ovulation induction alone and ART are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and whether ART could induce a higher risk than ovulation induction alone. Methods A total of 51,172 cases with singleton live birth between Jan 2016 and May 2019 at the International Peace Maternal and Child Health Hospital were included in this study. Conception modes documented during registration were classified into natural conception (NC), OI, and ART. Pregnancy outcomes of the three groups with balanced baseline characteristics by propensity score matching were compared. The relative risks of maternal and neonatal outcomes were calculated by logistic regression analysis. Results Compared with natural conception, infertility treatments are associated with gestational diabetes (OI: OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.31-2.27; ART: OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.26-2.20), preeclampsia/eclampsia (OI: OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.03-3.36; ART: OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.26-3.92). Even if gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, and placental problems were adjusted, infertility treatments are associated with birth before 37 weeks (OI: OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.28-3.12; ART: OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.08-2.69), low birth weight (OI: OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.23-3.91; ART: OR 1.90, 95% CI 1.05-3.45), and SGA (OI: OR 2.42, 95% CI 1.20-4.87; ART: OR 2.56, 95% CI 1.28-5.11). ART but not OI is associated with a higher risk of birth before 34 weeks (OR:3.12, 95% CI 1.21-8.05). By comparing the OI group with the ART group, we only found that ART could induce a higher ratio of placental problems (5.0%, 26/518 vs 2.1%, 11/519, p<0.05). Conclusion Both OI and ART are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. ART induced comparable negative effects with OI on gestational complications, birth weight, and premature birth (<37 weeks). However, ART resulted in a higher risk of placental problems than group NC and OI. The incidence of birth before 34 weeks of gestation in the ART group tends to be higher than in the OI group, but not statistically significant. The side effects of ART may originate from OI.
In Situ Evaluation of New Silica Nanosystems as Long-Lasting Methods to Prevent Stone Monument Biodeterioration

Microbial colonization can lead to various biodeterioration phenomena in outdoor stone monuments. To prevent these issues and mitigate the negative effects of chemical control, recent research has focused on encapsulating biocides in nanostructures. We tested the antifouling efficiency of the new multifunctional coating through in situ experiments performed on the Aurelian Walls in Rome. We selected two different biocides (2-mercaptobenzothiazole and zosteric sodium salt) and loaded them into two different silica nanocontainers (nanocapsules and mesoporous particles), which were dispersed in TEOS coatings. These coatings were applied to four common lithotypes (marble, travertine, mortar, and brick). Subsequently, we accelerated the colonization by inoculating microorganisms onto half of the samples, subjecting all samples to aging cycles. We conducted colorimetric, infrared spectroscopy, and other microscopic analyses to assess their durability and antimicrobial action. Our 3-year survey indicates that the coatings demonstrated antifoulant efficiency across all samples, with higher effectiveness observed on brick and mortar compared to travertine and marble. Among the nanostructures, nanocapsules exhibited greater efficiency than mesoporous particles, and regarding the biocides, the commercial one outperformed the natural one. These findings highlighted the potential of such systems in preserving cultural heritage; however, further research and product development is imperative for practical implementation.
TMT-Based Proteomic Analysis Reveals the Molecular Mechanisms of Sodium Pheophorbide A against Black Spot Needle Blight Caused by Pestalotiopsis neglecta in Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica

Black spot needle blight is a minor disease in Mongolian Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) caused by Pestalotiopsis neglecta, but it can cause economic losses in severe cases. Sodium pheophorbide a (SPA), an intermediate product of the chlorophyll metabolism pathway, is a compound with photoactivated antifungal activity, which has been previously shown to inhibit the growth of P. neglecta. In this study, SPA significantly reduced the incidence and disease index and enhanced the chlorophyll content and antioxidant enzyme activities of P. sylvestris var. mongolica. To further study the molecular mechanism of the inhibition, we conducted a comparative proteomic analysis of P. neglecta mycelia with and without SPA treatment. The cellular proteins were obtained from P. neglecta mycelial samples and subjected to a tandem mass tag (TMT)-labelling LC-MS/MS analysis. Based on the results of de novo transcriptome assembly, 613 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) (p < 0.05) were identified, of which 360 were upregulated and 253 downregulated. The 527 annotated DEPs were classified into 50 functional groups according to Gene Ontology and linked to 256 different pathways using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database as a reference. A joint analysis of the transcriptome and proteomics results showed that the top three pathways were Amino acid metabolism, Carbohydrate metabolism, and Lipid metabolism. These results provide new viewpoints into the molecular mechanism of the inhibition of P. neglecta by SPA at the protein level and a theoretical basis for evaluating SPA as an antifungal agent to protect forests.
Peningkatan Pengetahuan Suami Tentang Pendampingan Persalinan Melalui Pemanfaatan E Modul SUMPING (Support Suami Pendamping)

More than 90% of maternal deaths are caused by complications that often occur during or around childbirth. Childbirth complications are a state of deviation from normal, which directly causes morbidity and death of the mother and baby due to disturbances resulting (directly) from childbirth. Reducing the incidence of birth complications requires the participation of the family (especially husbands), which is in line with government policies and strategies in order to reduce the incidence of birth complications in Indonesia through the Making Pregnancy Safer (MPS) program. The expected result of this strategy is to increase the husband's active role during the pregnancy and birth process. Therefore, the community service implementation team (PKM) of the Midwifery Department, Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health, Tanjungpinang, carried out PKM activities with the aim of increasing husbands' knowledge about birth assistance through the use of the E Modul SUMPING (Companion Husband Support). The results of this PKM activity were an increase in husbands' knowledge about birth assistance before and after the SUMPING (Companion Husband Support) e-module was socialized.
SwinTFNet: Dual-Stream Transformer With Cross Attention Fusion for Land Cover Classification

Land cover classification (LCC) is an important application in remote sensing data interpretation. As two common data sources, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images can be regarded as an effective complement to optical images, which will reduce the influence caused by single-modal data. However, common LCC methods focus on designing advanced network architectures to process single-modal remote sensing data. Few works have been oriented toward improving segmentation performance through fusing multimodal data. In order to deeply integrate SAR and optical features, we propose SwinTFNet, a dual-stream deep fusion network. Through the global context modeling capability of Transformer structure, SwinTFNet models teleconnections between pixels in other regions and pixels in cloud regions for better prediction in cloud regions. In addition, a cross-attention fusion module (CAFM) is proposed to fuse features from optical and SAR data. Experimental results show that our method improves greatly in the classification of clouded images compared with other excellent segmentation methods and achieves the best performance on multimodal data. The source code of SwinTFNet is publicly available at https://github.com/XD-MG/SwinTFNet.
Whether There Will Be Domestic Luxury Clothing Brands in China

In recent years, with the improvement of China's overall economic level, China's luxury goods market has also been expanding, becoming a major consumer of luxury goods. However, the competition in the luxury goods market is fierce, but there are no local luxury brands in China. This paper analyzes whether domestic luxury brands will appear in China by studying the behavior of Chinese consumers and the current development status of Chinese luxury goods. While it is uncertain whether domestic luxury goods will emerge in China, the rapid growth of the Chinese luxury market and the rise of Chinese domestic brands suggest that the possibility is increasing. The inroads made by Chinese domestic brands in the luxury market are providing more choices for Chinese consumers and driving change in the global luxury market. In the future, as China's domestic brands continue to grow, we can expect to see more made-in-China luxury goods emerging in the international market.

Social Dimensions of Antimicrobial Resistance and an Anthropological Approach: Analytic Review

Purpose: The objective of this paper is to devise a comprehensive and layered framework to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It aims to weave together the strands of ethnomedicine, healthcare system analysis, and anthropological perspectives on illness, aligning with universal healthcare principles to encourage community participation and address the societal roots of health inequalities. The framework seeks to address AMR through a lens that views health disparities not merely as medical issues, but as complex phenomena shaped by cultural, social, and structural factors. Methodology: The research employs a single-case study design to synthesize and analyse interdisciplinary insights into AMR. This approach facilitates an in-depth understanding of how various elements, such as cultural beliefs, healthcare practices, and community dynamics, interact and influence the spread and management of AMR. By focusing on a single case, the study intends to meticulously document and interpret the nuanced interactions between these factors, providing a detailed narrative that captures the essence of the AMR challenge in a global health context. The study utilizes 66 varied references, such as journal articles, book excerpts, theses, reports, and websites, sourced from academic venues and the internet, published between 1946 and 2023. Findings: Through its investigation, the study presents a healthcare approach that marries the traditional wisdom of ethnomedicine with the precision of biomedicine, underscoring the significance of cultural competence in formulating AMR mitigation strategies. It dissects the intricate relationship between the three primary health sectors—popular, professional, and folk—and disentangles the sociocultural concepts of 'disease' and 'illness' as distinguished by medical anthropologists. The research calls for a reconceptualization of healthcare systems that goes beyond the biomedical model, advocating for an integration of the sociocultural, economic, and political dimensions that influence health and illness manifestations. Unique contribution to theory: This study's unique theoretical contribution lies in its interdisciplinary approach to health disparities and AMR. It proposes a model that balances the rigor of scientific research with the insights gleaned from traditional health practices, placing a premium on the dynamics of community involvement and the myriad influences on health. By doing so, it offers a more equitable, sustainable, and contextually relevant paradigm for health practices and policies. This paradigm shift is intended to provide actionable insights for policymakers and health practitioners, enabling them to devise strategies that are not only scientifically sound but also culturally sensitive and broadly applicable. The framework envisages a future where health interventions are tailored to the lived experiences of diverse populations, potentially transforming the landscape of global health and AMR strategy.
MDG: A Multi-Task Dynamic Graph Generation Framework for Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

For accurate forecasting of multivariate time series, it is essential to consider the relationship between temporal and spatial dimensions. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have gained popularity in recent years due to their ability to capture spatio-temporal correlations in a graph topology from multivariate time series. However, most existing GNN-based algorithms rely on predefined sensor distributions, limiting their applicability. Moreover, models that generate graphs without prior knowledge may overlook local conditions while constructing adjacency matrices. In this paper, we propose a multi-task learning approach that utilizes an AutoEncoder architecture for multivariate time series forecasting. Our method dynamically generates an adjacency matrix that is more focused on local changes in addition to a global graph structure that captures overall trends. The dynamic graph generation mechanism adaptively generates the adjacency matrix, and the two generated graphs are fused to avoid the issue of fixed matrices. We conducted experiments on publicly available datasets and introduced two new civil engineering datasets on tunnel boring machines to validate the effectiveness of our proposed model. Results demonstrate that our approach outperforms other baselines in terms of predictive performance.
A new species of Iravadia s.s. (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Iravadiidae) from the late Oligocene of the Aquitaine Basin (southern France). The earliest record of brackish-water Iravadiidae?

A new species of the Indo-West Pacific gastropod Iravadia s.s. is described from the late Oligocene (Chattian) of southwestern France, the earliest record of the genus. Iravadia dolini n. sp. is close to the recent species I. angulata (Laseron, 1956) but has a shorter spire and smaller ovate aperture not angled. This discovery suggests that the adaptation of Iravadia Blanford, 1867 to brackish waters (mangroves subenvironment? ) probably occurred earlier than previously suspected.
Analysis of Biosensors and Their Frontier Application in the Medical Field

With the progress of science and technology, the application of biosensors is more and more widespread. At present, traditional medical detection has the disadvantages of long cycles, low accuracy, and a cumbersome process. Because biosensors perfectly meet the requirements of timeliness and accuracy in medical detection, they are increasingly used in the field of cutting-edge medicine, which greatly improves the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment, reduces the probability of misdiagnosis, and reduces the pressure on the medical system. It is crucial for the early detection of the illness, particularly for the early detection of malignancy. Biosensors have bright prospects and high value in the field of modern medicine. In this paper, the composition and operation principle of biosensors is introduced. The frontier applications of biosensors in some medical fields are analyzed, and their advantages and disadvantages are obtained. The future development of biosensors is prospected, aiming to provide a certain direction for its future development.
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is still the most serious subtype of breast cancer because of the least favorable prognosis due to the greatest recurrence and mortality rates. In the past decade, with an deeper understanding of tumor biology, it became possible to identify subgroups of patients with molecular characteristics and apply numerous novel targeted therapies. In this aspect, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have developed as a promising therapy method for TNBC patients to improve pathologic complete response rate and the outcomes of patients. Nowadays, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are used in the clinic applying for TNBC alone or with other types of therapies. Despite the advances, there are many challenges including optimizing patient selection, reducing resistance and enhancing control of immune-related adverse events. This review includes an overview of current clinical treatment for TNBC and pathways of PD-L1. The ongoing clinical trials, current challenges, and future perspectives about ICI, particularly anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, are briefly discussed to portray their promising prospects.
New bryozoan taxa from a biodiversity hotspot in the Eastern Weddell Sea

Bryozoans comprise a major component of the benthos in certain parts of Antarctica (Bullivant 1967; Dayton et al. 1974). Hayward (1995a) has summarized the history of taxonomic investigations of Bryozoa in Antarctica, especially those based on collections made by various expeditions sampling Antarctic benthos. These works have given a comprehensive, though still incomplete, picture of species-level diversity. It was, however, the inception of underwater photography that gave evidence of the abundance and biomass of bryozoans at certain locations, assumed to be correlated with that diversity, beginning with the 195859 and 1959-60 International Geophysical Year programs and their extensions (Bullivant 1959a,b; 1961), particularly in the Ross Sea. Bryozoans from the Weddell Sea, however, have only recently been explored (Arntz & Gutt 1997; Zabala et al. 1997; Gontar & Zabala 2000; Gontar 2002, 2003, 2008; Barnes & Kuklinski 2010) and new species continue to be described (Figuerola et al. 2013). We report here on the Cheilostomata found in the residue of a single Rauschert dredge sample from the eastern Weddell Sea that had been taken by R.V. Polarstern for Amphipoda. The residue comprised about four litres of coarse sand, small pebbles, sponge spicules and bryozoan debris. What is remarkable is the high species diversity of the Bryozoa found at this one station, accompanied moreover, by considerable species richness of Amphipoda in the sample. The Bryozoa alone comprised 112 species, comprising considerable taxonomic novelty — 12.5 percent of the species and two genera are new to science and four other species are reported for the first time in the Weddell Sea. The purpose of this paper is to report on the singular diversity of the Bryozoa from the Polarstern sample and describes the taxa that are new to science.
Justicia curricular: significados e implicaciones

En este articulo, analizamos el concepto de justicia curricular y sus diversas implicaciones para el campo de la educacion, en general, y para los centros educativos y la practica pedagogica, en particular. El concepto de justicia curricular cobra peso en las sociedades democraticas contemporaneas porque la vida escolar representa un microsistema de la ciudadania y los valores que rigen las estructuras socioculturales en las cuales se desenvuelven los individuos; al mismo tiempo, la dinamica escolar realimenta, reconfigura y transforma los espacios externos al ambito educativo, como la familia, el campo laboral y la comunidad en su conjunto. Justicia curricular evoca no solo al derecho a aprender, sino a que dichos aprendizajes sean valiosos para la gestion de la autonomia y la participacion activa en las esferas publicas y privadas de la sociedad contemporanea. Concluimos que el concepto de justicia curricular orientado a la promocion de aprendizajes significativos y valiosos es una via potente para reestructurar los centros educativos y la vida al interior de las aulas.
