Use of online food delivery services among young adults in Depok City: Factors affecting the frequency of online food ordering and consumption of high-risk food

Purpose: The increasing desire of the community towards fulfilling the practical needs of life is currently accommodated by the rapid development of communication technology in the last five years in Indonesia. One example is the emergence of various food delivery applications. This will affect the pattern of daily food consumption in the community. Therefore, this study determined the personal and socio-environmental factors that influence the frequency of online food ordering (OFO) behavior and also high-risk food consumption through online food delivery services (OFDS) among young adults in Depok City. Theoritical Framework: This study adopts the social cognitive theory, developed by Bandura, as its framework. This theory is one of the most widely applied theories to discusses the determinants of health behavior. It is built on an understanding of the interactions that occur between individuals and environment. Methods: This research was a cross-sectional study conducted with 686 participants of young adults aged 20–39 years that lived in Depok City, West Java Province, Indonesia, for minimal the last six months. They were administered a questionnaire through Alchemer, formerly SurveyGizmo. Descriptive statistics were employed for all variables measured. A T-test and a Chi-square test were conducted to determine the factors influencing the OFO frequency and high-risk food consumption through OFDS. Predictor variables were generated using multi-logistic regression models. Results: The personal and socio-environmental factors related to the frequency of OFO behavior were attitudes toward risk, benefit, barriers, features of OFDS, satisfaction with OFDS, socio-environmental influence, perception about OFDS, and online food preference. Furthermore, the factors associated with high-risk food consumption through OFDS were attitudes toward benefit, features, satisfaction with OFDS, socio-environmental influence, perception about OFDS, online food preference, and knowledge of OFDS. The predictor for the frequency of OFO behavior was satisfaction toward OFDS (ß = 3.3; CI: 2.4–4.7; p-value <0.001), while those for high-risk food consumption were personal and socio-environmental factors (ß = 1.8; CI: 1.3–2.5; p-value = 0.001 and ß = 1.7; CI: 1.2–2.4; p-value = 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Satisfaction, social environment, and food preference play essential roles in OFDS. The findings demonstrated the urgency of conducting further studies to elaborate on the association of OFDS with non-communicable diseases.
A survey of information propaganda mechanism under the cross-medium

With the development of mobile networking, cloud computing, and big data technology, propaganda through public opinion and sentiment on the Internet has shown some new features, such as cross-medium, cross-media, and cross-language characteristics, which indicates exciting challenges for next-generation research and application of public opinion analysis. In this paper, the information propaganda mechanism of public sentiment under social networking is explored under a cross-medium environment, which means that the information can be spread across different web sites and social networks. A multi-element information propaganda model, called the PRCMA model, is then proposed, which includes five critical elements during the entire process of information propaganda, such as the information publisher ($P$), information receiver ($R$), content ($C$), medium ($M$), and result assessment ($A$). Furthermore, the critical challenges and vital research problems are illustrated, and some up-to-date research results are analyzed and reviewed based on each dimension of the PRCMA model, particularly on how to identify and measure the influence of nodes, identify fake information in real time, measure the personal preference and group behaviors, and measure the results of propaganda in the process of information spread under a cross-medium environment. Finally, some new technologies, theoretical methods, applications, and future trends are discussed, which provide new clues and research fields for further research on public opinion and sentiment on the Internet under a cross-medium environment.
Religious and Ecclesiastical Media in the Hungarian Electronic Media Ecosystem

Many academic works examine religious media institutions and media content producers operating in European countries, including Hungary, but most of them do so in an isolated way, mostly focusing on a particular content producer. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the operation of religious content producers in Hungary in a broader context, which considers the overall media system from a legal and economic point of view. First, we give a short retrospective overview about the history of Hungarian church press. Afterwards we examine the current legal framework for audiovisual regulation in Hungary. The conclusions are based on data obtained using three different methodologies. We have analyzed the freely accessible records of the Hungarian media authority (NMHH) and legislation, conducted a total of 6 in-depth interviews and an analysis of the content produced by each media outlet. The results of our research showed that in Hungary there is a disconnect between the concepts of church and religious media and that churches have hardly any comprehensive strategy to exploit the potential of digitalization. It can be concluded that church-owned media with religious content cannot be included in the present legal and economic framework without problems. Finally, an important question is whether and how church media are adapting to the changed environment. Our case studies show that the picture is mixed in this respect, because there is a lack of a coherent strategy among the actors on how service providers can adapt as effectively as possible to the new technological consumption patterns.
Evaluating the Advantages and Challenges of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) are decentralized assemblies of mobile nodes, including smartphones, laptops, iPads, and PDAs, that operate autonomously, contrasting with conventional wireless networks. These networks dynamically adapt their topology and routing tables as nodes join or leave, ensuring a seamless data packet transmission. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of MANETs, elucidating their advantages, challenges, and diverse applications. Unlike traditional networks that require a centralized administrator, MANETs enable mobile nodes to exchange data packets solely through wireless links. However, the volatile topologies and limited resources challenge establishing a power-efficient and secure routing system. This study introduces a reliable routing mechanism considering network power consumption and node reputation. Utilizing a Krill Herd-based Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (KH-GOA), in conjunction with a reputation model, the proposed system establishes a trustworthy route between the origin and destination nodes. The reputation model considers node mobility, actual capabilities, historical performance, and peer reviews. Upon evaluating these reputation metrics, the KH-GOA method is employed, amalgamating the Krill Herd (KH) and Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) techniques. The proposed KH-GOA-based routing protocol considers multi-objective criteria like reputation, power efficiency, distance, and latency for optimal route selection.
Response of net primary production to land use and climate changes in the middle‐reaches of the Heihe River Basin

Abstract Net primary production (NPP) supplies matter, energy, and services to facilitate the sustainable development of human society and ecosystem. The response mechanism of NPP to land use and climate changes is essential for food security and biodiversity conservation but lacks a comprehensive understanding, especially in arid and semi‐arid regions. To this end, taking the middle‐reaches of the Heihe River Basin (MHRB) as an example, we uncovered the NPP responses to land use and climate changes by integrating multisource data (e.g., MOD17A3 NPP, land use, temperature, and precipitation) and multiple methods. The results showed that (a) land use intensity (LUI) increased, and climate warming and wetting promoted NPP. From 2000 to 2014, the LUI, temperature, and precipitation of MHRB increased by 1.46, 0.58°C, and 15.76 mm, respectively, resulting in an increase of 14.62 gC/m2 in annual average NPP. (b) The conversion of low‐yield cropland to forest and grassland increased NPP. Although the widespread conversion of unused land and grassland to cropland boosted both LUI and NPP, it was not conducive to ecosystem sustainability and stability due to huge water consumption and human‐appropriated NPP. Urban sprawl occupied cropland, forest, and grassland and reduced NPP. (c) Increase in temperature and precipitation generally improved NPP. The temperature decreasing <1.2°C also promoted the NPP of hardy vegetation due to the simultaneous precipitation increase. However, warming‐induced water stress compromised the NPP in arid sparse grassland and deserts. Cropland had greater NPP and NPP increase than natural vegetation due to the irrigation, fertilizers, and other artificial inputs it received. The decrease in both temperature and precipitation generally reduced NPP, but the NPP in the well‐protection or less‐disturbance areas still increased slightly.
EVALUATION OF SECRETED FRIZZLED-RELATED PROTEIN-2 METHYLATION STATUS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKEMIA

BackgroundChronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder defined by the chromosomal translocation (t) (9;22) encoding for the BCR-ABL fusion gene. Tumor development and progression may be affected by hypermethylation of promoter regions of certain genes. Secreted Frizzled-Related Proteins (SFRPs) genes produce Wnt signaling antagonists, and their epigenetic silencing has been detected in multiple types of leukaemia. While epigenetic silencing has been broadly reported for SFRPs, SFRP2 is a family member less studied in leukaemia. ObjectivesTo evaluate SFRP2 gene methylation patterns in CML patients compared with healthy individuals. Materials and MethodsSodium bisulfite was applied to the extracted DNA from blood samples of 75 CML patients and 25 healthy subjects who served as the control group. The DNA was then analyzed by methylation-specific high-resolution melting (MS-HRM) using specific primers for the SFRP2 gene in promoter sequence. ResultsForty-five out of 75 CML patients investigated were shown to have SFRP2 methylation percentages between 50% to 100%, whereas 19 out of 25 healthy subjects had a methylation level of less than 50%. ConclusionThe current study demonstrated that SFRP2 promoter hypermethylation exists in CML, as in several other solid tumours. Hence, methylation of this gene may play a part in initiating leukemogenesis.
OXIDATIVE STRESS STATUS IN SERUM OF MIGRAINEURS IN ERBIL CITY-IRAQ

BackgroundMigraine is one of the neurological disorders whose etiology remains elusive. Increased oxidative stress may be associated with migraine. Oxidative stress may play an important role in patients with migraine, and it can reflect the ability of tissues to free radical damage. ObjectivesTo determine the oxidative stress markers levels in migraine patients’ serum. This study also included the use of oxidative stress indicators to diagnose migraines. Materials and MethodsA total of 180 subjects (100 migraines and 80 healthy controls) were included in the study; nitric oxide (NO) metabolites, malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured in serum. ResultsIn migraineurs, the levels of SOD, NO, and MDA were significantly higher when compared to healthy controls. There was a significant positive correlation between NO with MDA and SOD. Roc curve showed that NO was a useful marker for the diagnosis of migraine. Binary logistic regression documented that NO was negatively affect the life of migraineurs. ConclusionTherefore, oxidative stress has a role in the pathophysiology of migraine, and NO may serve as a useful diagnostic marker in migraine patients.
Incorporation of Cellulose-Based Aerogels into Textile Structures

Given their exceptional attributes, aerogels are viewed as a material with immense potential. Being a natural polymer, cellulose offers the advantage of being both replenishable and capable of breaking down naturally. Cellulose-derived aerogels encompass the replenish ability, biocompatible nature, and ability to degrade naturally inherent in cellulose, along with additional benefits like minimal weight, extensive porosity, and expansive specific surface area. Even with increasing appreciation and acceptance, the undiscovered possibilities of aerogels within the textiles sphere continue to be predominantly uninvestigated. In this context, we outline the latest advancements in the study of cellulose aerogels’ formulation and their diverse impacts on textile formations. Drawing from the latest studies, we reviewed the materials used for the creation of various kinds of cellulose-focused aerogels and their properties, analytical techniques, and multiple functionalities in relation to textiles. This comprehensive analysis extensively covers the diverse strategies employed to enhance the multifunctionality of cellulose-based aerogels in the textiles industry. Additionally, we focused on the global market size of bio-derivative aerogels, companies in the industry producing goods, and prospects moving forward.
Impact of growth hormone receptor gene on measurements of dimen-sions and body weights of local Iraqi sheep

This research involved a sample of 50 local Iraqi sheep, consisting of 27 males and 23 females, aged between 5 and 17 months. Data collection occurred during two distinct seasonal periods: October 2022 and January 2023. The primary objective was to investigate the variations in the expression of the growth hormone receptor (GHR) and its influence on the physical attributes of local Iraqi sheep within this age range. The results showed that the GHR gene exhibited a marked increase in expression during the second seasonal timeframe with levels of 23.8 ± 0.2 and 29.7 ±1.4 for first period. This increase in gene expression was paralleled by substantial differences in the sheep's body weights, with values of 33.7376±0.732(kg) for the first seasonal period and 35.77±1.111(kg) for the second seasonal period. Similarly, the dressing percentage showed significant differences, with values of 47.71±0.49 (kg) for the first period and 50.11±0.59 (kg) for the second period. Furthermore, carcass weight demonstrated highly statistically significant variations, measuring 16.037±0.440 (kg) during the first seasonal period and 17.978±0.655 (kg) during the second seasonal period. Gender-based analyses revealed significant disparities, with males exhibiting greater weight measurements (kg) (36.764±1.002) compared to females (32.122±806.0). The same trend was observed in carcass weight (18.362±0.606 for males and 15.242±0.369 for females), dressing percentage (49.8±0.0062 for males and 47.8±0.0047 for females), and viscera weight (1.382±0.029 for males and 1.258±0.032 for females). In addition to these findings, body dimension measurements (cm) showed significant differences in lump height, with measurements of 67.81±0.891 in the first period and 64.88±0.717 in the second period. However, non-significant differences were observed in other body dimension measurements. These findings have implications for understanding the genetic factors affecting the growth and development of sheep which can inform breeding and livestock management practices.
Fast Direct Solution of Electromagnetic Scattering From Metallic Objects in a Planarly Layered Medium

In this article, a fast direct solver is proposed for complicated electromagnetic (EM) scattering problems in planarly layered medium (PLM). For an arbitrary metallic object straddling two or more layers of the PLM, surface integral equations (SIEs) based on the matrix-friendly (MF) layered medium Green’s functions (LMGFs) are applied. When dealing with either slowly convergent problems or problems with multiple right-hand side excitations, a system matrix in the format of hierarchically off-diagonal low-rank (HODLR) is chosen, from which a fast matrix inverse can readily be computed. However, directly applying traditional HODLR for PLM cases suffers from fairly low compression rate, especially when large matrix blocks at coarse levels or objects straddling different layers are encountered. Consequently, a modified HODLR (MHODLR) structure involving reconstruction and recompression is further investigated, where key parameters are carefully studied in the context of PLM. Meanwhile, performance differences for PLM and free-space (FS) problems are thoroughly explored. Several numerical examples with increasing complexities are presented to validate the proposed LMGF-MHODLR as a promising fast direct solver for EM scattering problems in a lossless or lossy PLM background.
A metabolomics study in citrus provides insight into bioactive phenylpropanoid metabolism

Citrus fruits are widely consumed worldwide in juices or as fresh and provide a broad range of phytonutrients that are important for human health. Here, a citrus multi-omics resource is presented: comprehensive metabolic profiling of various citrus species was performed and metabolic profiles were compared among species, with a focus on the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway. A metabolite-based genome-wide association analysis (mGWAS) of 154 pummelo accessions was performed using factored spectrally transformed linear mixed models (FaST-LMM) and efficient mixed-model association eXpedited (EMMAX), and the genetic and biochemical basis of metabolomic variation was comprehensively analysed. A metabolite-single nucleotide polymorphism-gene (metabolite-SNP-gene) interaction network was constructed for pummelo, and many candidate loci controlling the synthesis and regulation of bioactive compounds were identified; among these loci, three BAHD malonyltransferases were involved in the malonylation of flavonoid glycosides. Further investigation revealed that an R2R3-MYB transcription factor CgMYB1 positively controls the metabolism of phenylpropanoid molecules, particularly the flavonoid derivatives. This study provides valuable data resources on the metabolic regulatory networks of bioactive components in citrus, in addition to demonstrating an efficient method for metabolic pathway dissection and providing targets for future breeding work with the aim of improving nutritional value.
Estudio zooarqueológico y tafonómico del Yacimiento Calcolítico Las Zanjillas (Torrejón de Velasco, Madrid)

Las Zanjillas (Torrejón de Velasco, Madrid) es un yacimiento Calcolítico precampaniforme ubicado en el valle medio del Tajo, caracterizado por más de 500 estructuras que incluyen silos y cubetas. Este estudio se centra en el análisis zooarqueológico y tafonómico de muestras óseas encontradas en este sitio. A diferencia de otras acumulaciones faunísticas en sitios precampaniformes de la región, aquí no se observan depósitos de individuos completos de animales; en cambio, se identifican acumulaciones de fauna de contextos domésticos, mayormente compuestas por restos de vacas y caprinos. Los análisis tafonómicos revelan la presencia de marcas de cortes en todos los taxones, indicando un aprovechamiento cárnico de los animales. No obstante, los patrones de mortalidad identificados en las distintas especies domésticas señalan un predominio de individuos adultos, lo que podría sugerir usos alternativos de las cabañas ganaderas más allá de su función exclusivamente cárnica. Este aspecto, sumado a las cronologías proporcionadas por el sitio, plantea un interesante punto de discusión que abordaremos en este trabajo.
Changes in Muscle Activity of Hip Joint Muscles during Clam Exercise
 after Abdominal Draw-in Exercise in Men with Weak Abdominal
 Muscles

Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the effects on muscle activity of the internal oblique (IO), Gmed, gluteus maximus (Gmax), and tensor fascia lata (TFL) between men with weak abdominal muscles (WAM) and healthy men during the CE after performing the abdominal draw-in maneuver (ADIM). Study design Cross-sectional study Methods Participants in this study included 11 men with WAM and 11 healthy men. The IO, Gmed, Gmax, and TFL activities were measured on all participants using wireless electromyography during the CE before the intervention. Both groups performed ADIM for 10 minutes, and each muscle activity was measured again similarly. A paired t -test was used to compare before and after intervention within groups, and an independent t -test was used to compare between groups. Results In the intra-group comparison of the WAM group, the muscle activity of IO, Gmed, and Gmax significantly increased and the TFL activity significantly decreased during CE after performing ADIM. In contrast to groups before the intervention, TFL activity was significantly higher in the WAM group than in the control group. In a comparison between groups, the amount of change in the activity of Gmed and TFL was more significant in the WAM group than in the control group. Conclusions Results suggested that for men with WAM, performing the ADIM before the CE is an effective exercise method for reducing the compensatory action of TFL and increasing the selective activity of Gmed and Gmax.
Chemosensory Characteristics of Brandies from Chinese Core Production Area and First Insights into Their Differences from Cognac

This work aimed to compare the aroma characteristics of representative brandies with different grades from Yantai (one of the Chinese core production areas) and Cognac and to establish relationships between sensory descriptors and chemical composition. Descriptive analysis was performed with a trained panel to obtain the sensory profiles. Forty-three aroma-active compounds were quantified by four different methodologies. A prediction model on the basis of partial least squares analysis was performed to identify candidate compounds that were unique to a certain group of brandies. The result showed that brandies from Yantai could be distinguished from Cognac brandies on the basis of spicy, dried fruit, floral, and fruity-like aromas, which were associated with an aromatic balance between concentrations of a set of compounds such as 5-methylfurfural, γ-nonalactone, and γ-dodecalactone. Meanwhile, brandy with different grades could be distinguished on the basis of compounds derived mostly during the aging process.
