Authors: Mergan Barış , Ateş Fatih , Uğraş Sinan , Sağın Ahmet Enes , Temel Cenk
Published: July 2024

Background: The study aims to examine the mediating role of physical activity attitudes in the relationship between university students' e-health literacy levels and obesity awareness.
Methodology: The study was designed with a relational research model, one of the quantitative research methods. A total of 333 university students, 159 males and 174 females, participated in the study. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to examine the relationship between e-health literacy, obesity awareness, and physical activity attitudes. In the study, e-health literacy was employed as the independent variable; obesity awareness was used as the dependent variable, and positive and negative attitudes toward physical activity were used as the mediating variables. The bias-corrected bootstrapping 5000 method was employed to ascertain the significance of the mediating variable, with the lower and upper limit intervals being checked to ensure that no zero values were present.
Results: The mediating effect of positive physical activity attitudes between e-health literacy and obesity awareness was found to be positive and significant (β=0.0112, t=4.259, p=<.001, CI=[0.060-0.163]. The mediating effect of negative attitudes toward physical activity between e-health literacy and obesity awareness was insignificant (β=0.0162, t=0.913, p=0.361, CI=[-0.018-0.049]). A predictive effect of e-health literacy and physical activity attitudes on obesity awareness was identified, with a value of 57%. The study revealed that e-health literacy accounted for 25% of the negative attitudes toward physical activity and 42% of the positive attitudes toward physical activity.
Ethics approval number: Date: 13/02/2024, session no: 03 Decision: 03.14
Conclusion: The study has demonstrated a correlation between e-health literacy and obesity awareness. As e-health literacy levels increase, so too does obesity awareness. On the other side, the current study found a positive and significant relationship between e-health literacy and positive attitudes toward physical activity. It was ultimately determined that positive attitudes toward physical activity had a mediating effect on the relationship between e-health literacy and obesity awareness.

Authors: Tu Jiongjiong , Wangchen Meiyi , Gong Fei
Published: July 2024

Background
To investigate whether delayed implantation affect reproductive outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART).
Methods
This is a single-centre retrospective cohort study. All frozen-thawed cylces were performed between February 2022 to January 2024. Serum hCG levels were sequentially tested on blastocyte transfer day 6, 8, 10 and 12. Patients with initial serum hCG ≥ 5IU/L on transfer day 6 were recorded as the normal implantation and hCG ≥ 5IU/L detected on transfer day 8, 10 and 12 was recorded as the delayed implantation. The reproductive outcomes were compared between groups. The primary outcome was ongoing pregnancy rate, secondary outcomes were biochemical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate and ectopic pregnancy rate.
Results
For patients with delayed implantation, the biochemical pregnancy rate was significantly higher in contrast to those with normal implantation (52.6% vs. 16.1%, P = 0.000).The early miscarriage rate was comparable between groups (5.3% vs. 9.9%, P = 0.345). The ectopic pregnancy rate was also higher in delayed implantation group ( 3.5% vs. 0.3%, P = 0.006). The ongoing pregnancy rate was significantly lower in delayed implantation group in contrast to normal implantation group (31.6% vs. 73.6%, P = 0.000). After multivariate logistic regression analyses, normal implantation group had increased odds of ongoing pregnancy compared to delayed implantation group (adjusted OR, 6.36; 95% CI, 3.46–11.70, P = 0.000).
Conclusions
The delayed implantation is strongly associated with higher incidence of biochemical pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy as well as decreased ongoing pregnancy rate.

Published: July 2024

In the era of ChatGPT, user feedback is essential for understanding this advanced technology and navigating the evolving field of artificial intelligence. To gain insights into the risks, limitations, and areas for improvement, our study focuses on analyzing Twitter interactions. We address the unique challenges posed by Twitters characteristicsbrevity, informality, and rapid temporal changesin understanding and summarizing user-generated content related to ChatGPT. Our research emphasizes interest-based multi-tweet topic detection and summarization, tackling challenges such as brevity, noise, and dynamic content. To address these challenges, we introduce a approach that merges Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) for effective topic detection in 500,036 English tweets from the first three months after ChatGPT’s announcement. Our method is rigorously compared with traditional models such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and BERTopic. The coherence scores, which reflect the quality of the extracted topics, show values of 0.68 for LDA, 0.51 for BERTopic, and an impressive 0.92 for our proposed model, demonstrating a 92.67 % improvement in effectiveness. Our goals extend beyond topic detection to include comprehensive topic summarization using Markov Decision Processes (MDP). When compared to LexRank, TextRank, and TopicRank, our method significantly enhances multi-tweet summarization accuracy, as evidenced by improved ROUGE evaluation metrics. In conclusion, our approach represents a significant advancement in the accuracy of automatic multi-tweet summarization.

Authors: Vanneste Thomas , Pardon Paul , Coussement Tom , Baens Eveline , Elsen Annemie , Carton Sarah , Reubens Bert , Verheyen Kris
Published: July 2024

Agroforestry is widely recognized as a sustainable land-use practice that integrates production with numerous environmental benefits. Notably, the potential of agroforestry systems to sequester significant amounts of carbon (C) in both above- and belowground pools has put them forward as a promising climate change mitigation strategy. Previous research has estimated C stocks in agroforestry systems, but considerable variation was found depending on site-specific biological, edaphic, climatic and management factors. The CARbon Agroforestry Tool (CARAT) is developed to simulate and visualise the spatiotemporal variation in above- and belowground C stocks of agroforestry systems in temperate Europe with customized tree species selection, field design, land use and edaphic conditions. It allows users to quantify the long-term C sequestration in the tree biomass and in the soil, which could be relevant for a wide range of applications, including optimizing system design or assessment of the potential carbon credits a farmer could receive through agroforestry implementation. We believe that this tool represents an important leap forward in assessing and optimizing the C sequestration potential of specific agroforestry systems, and will allow upfront financial compensation in the context of rapidly emerging carbon farming practices. The tool will be readily available to practitioners, advisors, researchers and policy actors, and currently pioneering with respect to its user-friendliness and versatility.

Authors: Long Jinjin , Ji Yifan , Zhang Yawen , Li Xinghui
Published: July 2024

Purpose:

This study aimed to evaluate the Pharmacovigilance (PV) and severity of hypersensitivity reactions induced by non-ionic Iodinated Contrast Media
(ICM) in the radiology diagnosis reported to the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed the reports of ICM-induced hypersensitivity reactions submitted to the FAERS database between January 2015 and
January 2023 and conducted a disproportionality analysis. The seven most common non-ionic ICM, including iohexol, iopamidol, ioversol,
iopromide, iomeprol, iobitridol, and iodixanol, were chiefly analyzed. Our primary endpoint was the PV of non-ionic ICM-induced total
hypersensitivity events. STATA 17.0 MP was used for statistical analysis.

Results:

In total, 35357 reports of adverse reaction events in radiology diagnosis were retrieved from the FAERS database. Among them, 6181 reports were
on hypersensitivity reaction events (mean age: 57.1 ± 17.8 years). The hypersensitivity reaction-related PV signal was detected for iohexol,
ioversol, iopromide, iomeprol, iobitridol, and iodixanol, but not for iopamidol. The proportion of iomeprol-induced hypersensitivity reactions and
the probability of ioversol-induced severe hypersensitivity reactions have been found to be significantly increased.

Conclusion:

The probability and severity of hypersensitivity reaction events in non-ionic ICM are different. Iohexol, ioversol, iopromide, iomeprol, iobitridol,
and iodixanol have higher risks compared to iopamidol. In addition, the constituent ratio of hypersensitivity reactions induced by iomeprol is
significantly increased, and the associated probability induced by ioversol is significantly increased.

Authors: Gupta Krishna , Tejaswini Masne , Umekar Milind J.
Published: July 2024

:

Fungi are widely acknowledged as one of the most diverse and ecologically significant organisms with substantial economic importance on Earth.
Edible and medicinal mushrooms have been recognized by human societies since ancient times, serving not only as valuable sources of
nourishment but also as medicinal agents. The primary objective of this study is to explore the fruiting bodies of edible mushrooms and assess their
capacity to serve as reservoirs of bioactive metabolites with pharmaceutical potential. The extensive analysis conducted aimed to elucidate the
significant potential of these medicinal mushrooms, comparable to that of plants, in producing valuable bioactive compounds, thereby positioning
them as abundant reservoirs for pharmaceutical compounds.

:

Fungi produce many different bioactive compounds of different molecular weights, including lectins, lipids, peptidoglycans, phenols, polyketides,
polysaccharides, proteins, polysaccharide-protein/peptide complexes, ribosomal and non-ribosomal peptides, steroids, terpenoids, and others.
These compounds have more than 130 different therapeutic properties, such as analgesic, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-plaque,
antiviral, cytotoxic, hepatoprotective, cholesterol-lowering, blood-sugar-lowering, blood-pressure-lowering, immune system, response system
modulation, immune suppression, cell growth stimulation or regeneration, and more. Several bioactive polysaccharides or polysaccharide-protein
complexes identified in these medicinal mushrooms seem to augment both innate and cell-mediated immune responses. Furthermore, these
compounds display anti-tumor properties in both animal models and humans.

Current trends in the process of borrowing anglicisms in modern german (using the example of the thematic group "healthy eating" in german social networks)
Authors: Shatokhina O. A.
Published: July 2024

This article reveals some features of the hybridization of borrowings as an actual trend in the process of the appearance of lexical neoplasms in German social networks. The analysis of hybrid lexical neoplasms with an Anglicism component in the conceptual field of "Healthy nutrition" is carried out, the features of their use in Internet communication are revealed and their linguistic and stylistic function is established in the process of forming a new lexical layer of the German language.

The research material is original publications in Snapchat social network groups #gesundessen, ###@projekt_gesund_leben, ###@eatsleepgreen, from among which the most actively used borrowings are highlighted and analyzed.

The relevance of the topic of this study is due to the fact that new words appear in the language constantly, at all stages of its existence, especially in connection with the rapid development of Internet communication in social networks, and the question of their systematization is of particular importance. The process of hybridization with the Anglicism component in German social networks is characterized by certain specifics that require careful study.

As a result of the research, the author came to the conclusion that the active use of Anglicisms-hybrids is due to the need of modern society for international vocabulary, leads to a more successful intercultural dialogue within the framework of Internet communication and is an urgent trend in the development of the modern German language of social networks. The most commonly used words are hybrids, which are formed in the process of hybridization by borrowing Anglicisms and adding either word-formation elements from the German language or German lexemes.

The systematized material proposed by the author of the article can be used in pedagogical and scientific activities in the field of such branches of linguistics as neology, linguistic terminology, derivatology, contrastive linguistics.

Authors: Zhao Kai , Xue Xinyu , Chen Ningsu , Qi Yana , Gong Jie , Hu Wen , Li Youping , Shi Lei , Yu Jiajie
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Recommendation systems (RS) have been widely used in the field of nutrition to promote the nutritional self-management, but few NRSs have been widely adopted due to various reasons. Limited studies have reviewed the RSs in food, with some methodological flaws including limited databases searches, high heterogeneity among included studies and rapidly evolving nature of evidence.

OBJECTIVE

We conducted a scoping review to summarize currently available recommendation systems applied in nutrition (NRS) including published articles, patents and application software and explore the potential gaps between development and implementation.

METHODS

We conducted a comprehensive search of seven bibliographic databases, two patent databases, four mobile apps store and three websites engines for this scoping reviews. Data extraction was conducted by four reviewers, a pilot study was performed before formal extraction, and the interrater agreement percentage needed to be >75%. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus or the involvement of a third reviewer. Frequency count and narrative summaries were performed for each study.

RESULTS

A total of 877 NRSs were included and half of them were released after 2022 (n=423, 48.2%) and 155 (17.7%) were from China. The most users were overweight or obese population (n=152, 17.3%), the primary inputs being self-reported data on nutritional status, diet, and exercise (the same n=157, 17.9% for every one), the primary output being nutrition plans (n=254, 29.0%), and the main audience being general population (n=244, 27.8%). Of 49 studies published in journals or essays, a few researchers from the nutrition filed were reported (n=4, 3.6%), the primary data were from public survey (n=22, 46.8%). Forty studies reported the evaluation stage, with incomplete processes and the lack of nutritional outcome. Of the 18 artificial intelligence technologies used in the studies, four could automatically update systems by themselves, and two were technologies proposed in the last decade. In addition, three recommendation algorithms were identified, only one was the latest knowledge-based algorithm that can improve precise matching.

CONCLUSIONS

While NRSs has primarily focused on the general population, there is a growing demand for professional NRSs tailored to special populations that incorporate dynamic updates and enhanced individual identification. Standardized evaluation of NRSs based on their technical performance and clinical impact can effectively support their public application in future.

The medical and psychological components of post-COVID syndrome: disorders of the cognitive and emotional sphere of a person
Authors: Matiash M.M. , Galanta Yu.A.
Published: July 2024

The problem of the study is that due to the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, many people experience post-infectious long-term symptoms, namely post-COVID syndrome. This disease is characterized by persistent debilitating fatigue, neurocognitive difficulties, muscle pain and weakness, as well as depression, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) that lasts for more than 3 to 12 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Among these symptoms, neurocognitive and psychiatric consequences, including attention and memory impairment, symptoms of anxiety and depression, have become the main focus of attention of modern healthcare professionals due to their significant impact on public health. In this regard, assessment tools play a crucial role in the early screening of cognitive changes caused by the prolonged course of COVID-19. This includes general cognitive assessment tools such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and more specific ones, namely the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) for screening, diagnosing and monitoring depression symptoms and the GAD-7 for assessing anxiety and screening for generalized anxiety disorder. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of post-COVID syndrome on the cognitive and emotional sphere of people, as well as to develop recommendations for overcoming its consequences. The study sample consisted of 70 patients who had contracted COVID-19. They were divided into three groups, according to the COVID-19 classification by the severity, namely: group 1 — mild; group 2 — moderate and group 3 — severe. The results of the patient examinations showed that according to the MoCA, all respondents had a low level of cognitive impairment. This indicates the need for psychological support and clinical care. The score on the PHQ-9 demonstrated that in 15 (21 %) patients with mild COVID-19 and in 30 (43 %) with moderate course, mild depression prevailed. However, according to this questionnaire, patients with severe COVID-19 are characterized by moderate depression. The results showed that the more severe the disease, the higher the level of depression in patients. The GAD-7 scale showed that 15 (21 %) patients with mild COVID-19 and 30 (43 %) patients with moderate course were characterized by a moderate level of generalized anxiety disorder. Instead, the results of the study using the same questionnaire showed that 25 (36 %) patients with severe COVID-19 had an average level of generalized anxiety disorder. The results obtained according to the GAD-7 scale show that the more severe the degree of COVID-19, the higher the level of generalized anxiety disorder in patients. Special recommendations have been proposed to overcome cognitive and emotional disturbances associated with post-COVID syndrome.

Academic and professional communities throughout the world have shown a great deal of interest in the topic of environmental or green human resource management (HRM) in the last decade. Despite this growing interest, there remains a lack of comprehensive analysis in this area. This study aims to fill this lack by conducting a systematic and extensive review of the literature. The objectives of this paper consist of three spectrums: firstly, to conduct an in-depth examination of literature related to the Green HRM studies encompassing diverse scopes, methodologies, and contexts, secondly, to explain various focal themes within the Green HRM discourse; and thirdly, to suggest potential avenues for future scholarly inquiry. Adopting systematic literature review, the selected articles for the review were classified into five distinct thematic areas within Green HRM, as identified from the existing body of literature. The research in the area of Green HRM has witnessed a substantial increase over the past 12 years. This review encompasses 70 articles, predominantly employing quantitative methodologies and originating from developing countries. The analysis reveals that the most significant focus within these studies has been on how Green HRM influences both the firm and employees. The scope of this review is confined to academic articles accessible through online databases, specifically those containing terms such as “Environmental training", "Green training," "Green HRM," and "Green human resource". Only peer-reviewed journal papers of the highest caliber are included in the review; books and conference proceedings are not included. This research organizes and synthesizes seventy peer-reviewed articles researches that were published in renowned research journals between 2007 and 2019. It advances our knowledge of the state, trends, and prospects for Green HRM research in greater detail.
How Can Small International Accounting Firms Improve Audit Quality? The Role of Accounting Associations and Networks

Small (non-Big 4) accounting firms hold a substantial share of audit markets outside of the U.S., but few studies address factors that influence the quality of audits provided by these firms. We examine whether membership in an accounting association or network (AAN) allows small international accounting firms to provide higher audit quality. Using data from 24 countries, we find that audit quality improves after small international accounting firms join an AAN. Moreover, the improvement is more pronounced in countries with greater incentives for high audit quality, more competition, and higher audit pricing similarity to the U.S. These findings have important implications for regulators, managers, investors, accounting firms, and audit committees in international markets.

Absorption of Crude Oil from Water Surface Using Shells of Periwinkle, Thales (Ngolo) and Oyster
Authors: LC Osuji
Published: July 2024

The Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) of water contaminated with Bonny Light crude oil was determined before and after absorption using Ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy and Gas Chromatographic (GC) analyses. Shells of periwinkle, thales (ngolo) and oyster were used as absorbents, each of the shells were ground into powdery form, sieved through a mesh of 50 microns and calcined at temperatures of 500, 600 and 700°C respectively. Results obtained from UV spectroscopic analyses showed that the TPH concentration of the oil contaminated water after absorption with uncalcined periwinkle, thales and oyster shells were 1410.0, 1371.0 and 1330.0 mg/l respectively. The higher the calcination temperature of the absorbents, the lower the TPH of the oil contaminated water after absorption making oyster shell calcined at 700°C the best absorbent. GC analyses gave the individual hydrocarbon components of the oil contaminated water before and after absorption thereby confirming the uptake efficiencies of the absorbents. The lower the TPH of the oil contaminated water, the higher the uptake efficiency of the absorbents which is directly proportional to the dilution factor and the amount of crude absorbed by the absorbents. The uptake efficiency of the absorbents follows the trend Oyster >thales> periwinkle. The process of calcination (high temperature heating) boosted the uptake efficiency of the absorbents by 45 percent.

The experiment was conducted during November, 2019 to October, 2020 at Palk Bay water of Ramanathapuram coast of Tamil Nadu to investigate the catch composition of P. pelagicus, commonly known as the blue swimming crab, focusing on different fishing gears used in the Palk Bay waters. 25 fishing grounds were identified within 1 to 5 nautical miles, where bottom-set gillnets, trammel nets, and country trawls were employed by fishermen. Craft types included non-motorised small wooden boats and FRP boats with outboard motor engines ranging from 9.9 to 20 horsepower. Bottom-set gillnets, with mesh sizes of 80 to 100 mm, were primarily used to target crabs, while trammel nets and country trawls were utilised for cephalopods and as bycatch. The study discovered a diverse size range of captured P. pelagicus, with carapace lengths ranging from 30 to 92 mm and carapace widths spanning from 70 to 193 mm. Notably, individuals within the length group of 55 to 60 mm and the width group of 115 to 125 mm constituted the predominant size classes. Catch per unit effort analysis revealed fluctuations across gear types, with bottom-set gillnets contributing the majority (94.8%) of the total catch, followed by trammel nets (3.19%) and country trawls (2.01%). Comparison with previous studies highlighted the historical dominance of bottom-set gillnets in P. pelagicus fisheries while emphasising the complementary contributions of trammel nets and country trawls. These findings underscored the importance of integrated management approaches to sustainably manage crab fisheries in the region.
