Published: April 2023

Abstract: Parking management has grown to be a significant issue with the rise in vehicle traffic in urban regions. The conventional parking method causes traffic congestion and environmental pollution in addition to being time-consuming. These issues are resolved by the IoT-based smart parking system. It gives drivers and parking administrators access to real-time parking information through sensors and communication networks. To forecast parking availability and maximize parking spot use, the system uses data provided by the IR sensor. Additionally, it provides functions like web booking and payment. By decreasing the amount of time and effort needed to locate a parking space, the smart parking system improves the user experience. Additionally, it aids in lowering fuel consumption, carbon emissions, and traffic congestion, making it an ecologically friendly choice

Terhitung sejak pandemi covid 19 terjadi peningkatan kekerasan pada anak yang dilakukan oleh orang tuanya sendiri. Hal ini dikarenakan orang tua kesal terhadap anak yang sulit untuk diajari saat belajar online. Kegiatan penyuluhan tentang perlindungan hak anak korban kekerasan orang tua selama pandemi covid 19 melalui social service webinar dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat dengan adanya keberlakukan Undang-Undang Perlindungan anak tersebut. Kegiatan terlaksana dengan menggunakan 4 tahapan, yaitu tahap pengisian pre test, tahap pemaparan materi, tahap tanya jawab, dan tahap pengisian post test. 4 tahapan ini dilakukan sebagai rangkaian untuk bisa mencapai tujuan dilakukannya kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat. Berdasarkan hasil pemaparan narasumber dan memperhatikan hasil jawaban pre test dan post test, maka diketahui adanya peningkatan pemahaman dari peserta dalam social service webinar tentang ketentuan Undang-Undang Perlindungan Anak yang mengatur tentang hak-hak anak yang dilindungi dan sanksi bagi pelaku yang melanggarnya, dengan demikian diharapkan ada peran serta dari masyarakat dalam penyelenggaraan perlindungan anak.
 
Counseling for The Protection of Children's Rights Victims of Parental Violence During the Covid 19 Pandemic Through Social Service Webinar.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, people have become more active at home, especially children who go to school online, which makes parents have to play a bigger role in the learning process. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in violence against children by their own parents. This is because parents are annoyed with children who are difficult to teach when learning online. Counseling activities regarding the protection of the rights of children victims of parental violence during the COVID-19 pandemic through the social service webinar were carried out with the aim of increasing public understanding with the enactment of the Child Protection Act. The activity was carried out using 4 stages, namely the pre-test filling stage, the material exposure stage, the question and answer stage, and the post-test filling stage. These 4 stages are carried out as a series to be able to achieve the goal of doing community service activities. Based on the results of the speakers' presentations and paying attention to the results of the pre-test and post-test answers, it is known that there is an increase in the understanding of participants in the social service webinar regarding the provisions of the Child Protection Law which regulates the rights of children being protected and sanctions for perpetrators who violate them. It is hoped that there will be participation from the community in the implementation of child protection.

THE PROBLEM OF CRACK OPENING WIDTH AND STIFFNESS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES, BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTIONS
Authors: Kolchunov Vladimir
Published: April 2023

The article defines the main results for the development of reinforced concrete mechanics. In the isotropic medium between the cracks is used "first object - flows-blocks", "second object - main cracks" and the effect of reinforced concrete, the physical essence of which is the non-uniformity of concrete and continuous reinforcement. Reactions arise in the concrete for deformation of the reinforcement from the bonding of the compressed concrete in the tensile region. The average resistance of the tensile concrete and the "average total force of the working reinforcement," the third object, are transmitted through the effect of reinforced concrete and the "dowel" effect. The crack opening widths are the relative mutual displacements of reinforcement and concrete, determined from the boundary conditions and the Thomas-Author hypothesis. A new classification of cracks has been developed: regular cracks (anisotropic medium of reinforced concrete) and main cracks based on the effect of reinforced concrete (origins - concentrations) and maximum opening in the closed equations of mechanics of reinforced concrete from the Lagrange function. The author has proposed hypotheses, theorems of linear and angular deformations, functionals for deplanation of cross section of reinforced concrete element from elastic-plastic stage, jumps - cracks and stiffness matrix in a single compound strip which allow to reduce the order of differential equations. The resistance design model method for reinforced concrete mechanics is used for the rod, wall, and slab of the "envelope" of cracks. Hybrid from Lira (finite element method of reinforced concrete from anisotropy) developed in the form of two finite element effect of reinforced concrete of "flat and spatial cantilever" for external and internal displacements. The general principle from Loleith to the "opening - closing" of cracks, the stiffness of the mechanics of reinforced concrete is obtained in the form of the method of the computational model of resistance.

Este artigo contribui para as discussões acerca de racialização, classes sociais e exclusão no ensino e aprendizagem de inglês no Brasil. Seu foco é a região norte, mais especificamente, a cidade de Parintins, no Amazonas, considerada, neste artigo, como parte do sul epistêmico (SOUSA SANTOS, 2007).  Além de Sousa Santos (2007) fazem parte do referencial teórico deste artigo Dias (2021), Pennycook (1998), Servelati (2021), entre outros. A metodologia do artigo é baseada em estudos qualitativos, interpretativistas e discursivos. Analisamos a história de formação de um professor de inglês atuante na cidade de Parintins, em uma entrevista virtual. Os resultados da análise do discurso do professor apontam para desigualdades e injustiças observadas ao longo de sua história de formação, corroborando a noção de língua inglesa como prática racializada.
Language, neoliberalism, and human rights: Erotics of signs on a dating app
Authors: Bonfante Gleiton Matheus , De Augustinis Silva Daniel
Published: April 2023

This paper aims to address the naturalization of a neoliberal individualism online, the performance of profound inequality as a sexualized stylistic resource, and the equalization of capital and sexual relations. This is done by highlighting the kinship between the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Neoliberalism. We then argue that Grindr is designed to keep us coming back to it, subjecting us to misconduct by the app developers. We then proceed to report on the data generated by the erotics of signs (BONFANTE, 2016), methodology that highlights sexual-capital performances which bring two related phenomena to our attention: the spread of neoliberal practices on Grindr and the dissemination of the perspective of sex as a commercial good. Finally, we consider the ethical and epistemological gains of our paper.

Peran Dewan Kemakmuran Masjid dalam Membangun Solidaritas Umat
Authors: Hizbullah Muhammad , Yeltriana Yeltriana , Haidir Haidir , Saragih Alkausar
Published: April 2023

Masjid dalam Islam bukanlah sekedar tempat beribadah saja tetapi juga merupakan tempat pembangunan peradaban umat manusia. Jika kita lihat dari pendekatan sejarah bagaimana Rasulullah membangun suatu peradaban dimulai dari masjid. Terbukti ketika Rasulullah hijrah ke Madinah yang pertama sekali dibangunnya adalah masjid, yaitu masjid Nabawi. Tetapi saat ini terkesan ada pergeseran fungsi masjid tersebut, masjid saat ini hanya dijadikan tempat untuk beribadah shalat saja, tidak terlihat bagaimana masjid harus mampu membangun rasa kepedulian sesama muslim.  Sehingga keberadaan masjid tidak begitu mepengaruhi solidaritas masyarakat. Kondisi ini sangatlah mengkhawatirkan, ditambah kondisi Covid 19 saat ini dan  diberlakukan PPKM yang menyebabkan banyaknya kesulitan ekonomi yang dialami masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana peran masjid Al-Muhajirin Desa Bandar Klippa dalam membangun solidaritas umat yang ada di sekitaran wilayah masjid. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode survei dan naturalistik dengan pengolahan data secara deskriptif kualitatif.  Penelitian ini direncanakan selama 1 tahun untuk melihat bagaiman peran masjid Al-Muhajirin Desa Bandar Klippa dalam membangun solidaritas umat  dan masyarakat sekitar. Sedangkan sampel penelitian ini adalah masyarakat sekitar masjid Al-Muhajarin baik laki-laki maupun perempuan. Adapun hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa pihak pengelola masjid memiliki program-program yang membangun solidaritas masyarakat sekitar, seperti program kegiatan kajian Tauhid, Tasawuf, Fiqih dan Tafsir serta senin malam ba’da isya dilakukan pengajian tentang hadis. Selain itu Dewan Kemakmuran Masjid banyak perubahan jumlah jamah yang sholat fardhu di masjid ini dan semakin banyak saja. Karena dakwah yang dilakukan Dewan Kemakmuran Masjid Al-Muhajirin merupakan konsep dakwah yang merangkul tidak memukul. Selain itu tidak ada pelarangan anak-anak untuk sholat dimasjid, agar menghindari suasana tidak kondusif yang diakibatkan anak-anak yang bermain dalam shalatnya, maka dibuat piket salah satu pengurus menjaga waktu pelaksanaan shalat.

Authors: Chaidir John , Hidayati Panca Pertiwi , K. Harnadi Kunkun
Published: April 2023

Objective: The research objective was to identify and analyze the relationship between student ability and project-based learning (PBL) with increased learning, the relationship between critical thinking ability and project-based learning with increased learning, and the relationship between project-based learning and learning improvement. project-based learning mediates the relationship between student ability and learning improvement and mediates the relationship between critical thinking ability and learning improvement.Methodology: This research is a type of quantitative research where it examines the relationship between exogenous and endogenous variables. This quantitative study uses the SEM-SmartPLS 3.0 model and also uses a quasi-experimental design method because it observes two groups, namely the control group and the experimental group.Findings: Based on the results of hypothesis testing using Smart PLS it shows that, H1, H2, & H3, are accepted because the t table value is greater than the calculated t value or has an alpha (α) value less than 5%. Whereas H4, H5, H6, and H7 cannot be accepted (rejected) because their value is greater than 5%. The experimental class showed an increase with the previous average value of 54.31 while the average result after treatment was 78.79 so there was an increase of 24.48. The homogeneity of the data was tested with the homogeneity test of variance with the significance value of 0.693 > 0.05.Conclusion: Student Ability has a significant effect on PBL and learning improvement. critical thinking ability has a significant effect on PBL and learning improvement. PBL has no significant effect on learning improvement. PBL does not mediate the relationship between student ability and learning improvement, and the relationship between critical thinking ability and learning improvement. The ability to think critically in learning to write explanatory texts with causal patterns using the Problem-Based Learning model shows good results. This can be seen from the students' scores in the experimental class that has increased after being given treatment (controlled).

Published: April 2023

Este trabalho aborda a resistência dos agricultores familiares frente à expansão urbana. O lugar da pesquisa é o Assentamento Santa Rita de Cássia II, localizado em Nova Santa Rita, Rio Grande do Sul. Os agricultores familiares neste assentamento adotam estratégias de resistência para manter os seus campos ocupados com as suas atividades agrícolas. A pesquisa foi realizada com o uso de entrevistas nas suas formas semiestruturadas através da aplicação de questionários, que combinam perguntas fechadas e abertas e observações feitas em trabalhos de campo. De acordo com os resultados da pesquisa, as diferentes estratégias de resistência que os agricultores familiares utilizam no assentamento são os canais de produção agroecológica, especialmente a produção de arroz ecológico e de hortaliças, sem esquecer a contribuição do PAA e do Grupo Gestor do Arroz Ecológico, COCEARGS e COOTAP. A partir da importância da produção agroecológica, foi possível identificar que uma parcela significativa dos agricultores familiares adotou a produção orgânica como estratégia de resistência à expansão urbana. São produtos que carregam o simbolismo do MST, dos agricultores familiares que fazem esta luta, mas são também produtos ligados à discussão da economia sustentável e solidária. Matriz inserida na resistência dos agricultores familiares, construída por 80 famílias assentadas que produziram na Safra 2021-2022. Aqui é expresso o conteúdo das estratégias de resistência desses agricultores familiares, gerando territórios de produção agroecológica, de resistência e de emancipação.

A POESIA AFRO-BRASILEIRA DE CONCEIÇÃO EVARISTO
Authors: Fernandes de Oliveira Laecio , Pereira Rodrigues Linduarte
Published: April 2023

Diante da expressividade da literatura afro-brasileira como cultura das bordas e seu funcionamento como símbolo de denúncia, escritoras como Conceição Evaristo refletem, em suas escritas, a voz da mulher negra e o combate às injustiças sociais, revelando um lugar de resistência à diáspora africana e uma perspectiva literária de autoria. Sob esta ótica, considera-se a problemática do racismo e a necessidade de construção de uma igualdade étnica. O artigo se baseia na multimodalidade da linguagem e na semiótica das culturas para propor a leitura literária de dois poemas da referida escritora, cuja voz performática, semiotizada, faz emergir na materialidade textual o simbólico da linguagem, cujos sentidos suscitam o imaginário humano, permitindo, ao leitor, a reconstrução da diáspora africana e a percepção do lugar de autoria da mulher negra comprometida com a trajetória do seu povo. Destaca-se a importância de discutir as relações étnico-raciais – Lei 10.639 – que tornam obrigatório o ensino da História e da Cultura Afro-Brasileira nas redes de ensino brasileiras, em especial, na educação pública, com características socioeconômicas de exclusão, necessitando de abordagens que possibilitem romper com o paradigma do racismo cristalizado socialmente em prol do desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico e do reconhecimento de movimentos de redemocratização de políticas públicas socioeducacionais.
REPRESENTAÇAO DO NEGRO EM VENCIDOS E DEGENERADOS, DE NASCIMENTO MORAES:
Authors: Pereira Fernanda , Silva Denise Almeida
Published: April 2023

Este artigo investiga a representação do negro no contexto do período pré- e pós-abolicionista no romance Vencidos e degenerados, de Nascimento Moraes, centrando-se, principalmente, na expressão das assimetrias e injustiças sociais, as quais são analisadas a partir do conceito de violência, como pensado pela filósofa brasileira Marilena Chauí e pelo sociólogo norueguês John Galtung.  A análise enfoca, mais especialmente, as personagens João e Cláudio Olivier, os quais ressaltam, respectivamente, as tensões em torno da pregação antiabolicionista e da possibilidade de convivência e aceitação do negro como sujeito ético, responsável e bem-sucedido.  Obedecendo à concepção do livro, e a seu centramento sucessivo nos personagens Olivier e Cláudio, inicialmente examina-se a narração da violência no período pré-republicano, seguindo-se o exame do contexto pós-republicano. Os dados analisados permitem perceber não só prolongado processo de objetificação do negro, que leva a práticas tais como brutalização, tortura, coação, opressão e intimidação, mas também a existência de correlação essencial entre as formas de violência praticadas: há a violência direta, através da marginalização do negro, a violência cultural através do racismo internalizado, e uma concepção estrutural de que o negro deve submissão ao branco.
DICÇÃO E EMPAREDAMENTO NA LITERATURA DE AUTORIA NEGRA BRASILEIRA
Authors: Rodrigues de Miranda Fernanda
Published: April 2023

A presença autoral negra na literatura brasileira pode ser mapeada pelo menos desde o século XIX, através de autores e obras muitas vezes silenciadas pelo cânone. A dinâmica de silenciamento de autorias dissonantes ao eurocentrismo, que pauta a constituição do perfil hegemônico de autor no Brasil, é observada neste artigo através de quatro autores representativos tanto da diversidade da autoria negra quanto do emparedamento que a atravessa. Cruz e Sousa, Lima Barreto, Carolina Maria de Jesus e Stella do Patrocínio vivenciaram contextos diferentes e historicamente específicos, mas suas produções e existências autorais permitem a reflexão sobre o emparedamento como marca nacional constituinte.
Polyadenylation-based mitotranscriptomics of Apis mellifera (Insecta: Hymenoptera)
Authors: Aydemir Merve , AYDEMİR Habeş Bilal , Korkmaz Ertan
Published: April 2023

Mitochondrial transcription is being studied with the increasing
interest to better understand the coding capacity of mitochondrial DNA
(mtDNA). Based on studies showing that mtDNA encodes additional genes
that are not functional in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), it has
been understood that mitochondrial transcription is more complex than
previously thought. In this study, mitochondrial transcription was
investigated in terms of polyadenylation patterns in Apis mellifera
(Insecta: Hymenoptera). We found that both sense and antisense
transcripts were captured and polyadenylated, and gene expression levels
and polyadenylation length were highly variable between genes in Apis.
Mitochondrial RNAs of A. mellifera were found to be polyadenylated with
an average size of 31 adenines. Nevertheless, the highest transcript
representatives of each gene generally appeared to have polyadenylation
of size 5-9 bases. Generally, transcripts containing longer and/or
shorter forms of each gene were thought to indicate the existence of
putative UTR-containing genes, functional non-coding RNA genes and
variant gene forms. We showed that some transcripts contain non-template
dependent additional nucleotides before polyadenyl tail. Transcripts
containing at least some bases of the intergenic regions downstream of
the gene had the highest transcript representation after the
monocistronic gene units. These findings support the possible functional
role of the intergenic regions.
Piezo1-mediated microtubule destabilisation promotes extracellular matrix rigidity induced smooth muscle cell hypertrophy
Authors: Johnson Robert , Ahmed Sultan , Wostear Finn , Solanki Reesha , Morris Christopher , Bidula Stefan , Warren Derek
Published: April 2023

Decreased aortic compliance is a precursor to numerous cardiovascular
diseases. Compliance is regulated by the rigidity of the aortic wall and
the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) within it. Extracellular matrix
stiffening, observed during ageing, reduces compliance and contributes
to hypertension. In response to increased rigidity, VSMCs generate
enhanced contractile forces that result in VSMC stiffening and a further
reduction in compliance. Due to a lack of suitable in vitro models, the
mechanisms driving VSMC response to matrix rigidity remain poorly
defined. Human aortic-VSMCs were seeded onto polyacrylamide hydrogels
whose rigidity mimicked either healthy or aged/diseased aortae. VSMC
response to contractile agonist stimulation was measured through changes
in cell area and volume. VSMCs were pre-treated with pharmacological
agents prior to agonist stimulation to identify regulators of VSMC
hypertrophy. VSMCs undergo a differential response to contractile
agonist stimulation based on matrix rigidity. On pliable matrices, VSMCs
contract, decreasing in cell area. Meanwhile, on rigid matrices VSMCs
undergo a hypertrophic response, increasing in area and volume. Piezo1
mediated calcium influx drives VSMC hypertrophy by promoting microtubule
destabilisation. Pharmacological stabilisation of microtubules or
blocking calcium influx prevented VSMC hypertrophy on rigid matrices
whilst maintaining contractility on pliable matrices. In response to
extracellular matrix rigidity, VSMCs undergo a hypertrophic response
driven by piezo1-mediated microtubule destabilisation. Pharmacological
targeting of this response blocks matrix rigidity induced VSMC
hypertrophy whilst VSMC contractility on healthy mimicking matrices is
unimpeded. Through delineating this rigidity-induced mechanism, we
identify novel targets whose pharmacological inhibition may prove
beneficial against VSMC-driven cardiovascular disease.
Environmental, Social, and Governance Taxonomy Simplification: A Hybrid Text Mining Approach

Currently, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting is mostly voluntary, granting companies the discretion to choose the information to disclose and the standards to follow, resulting in a lack of comparability across ESG reports. Efforts to combine standards for global comparability are static and may not fit the everchanging, industry-specific nature of ESG topics. This paper proposes a hybrid methodology for extracting simplified, ex post, and dynamic taxonomies based on existing ESG standards and reports to improve the comparability of ESG reporting. This hybrid methodology, which combines text mining techniques with manual processing, balances the efficiency of automatic processes with the effectiveness of human judgment. An example of deriving a simplified environmental taxonomy from European companies’ ESG reports and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards illustrates the proposed methodology. The methodology could help regulators to develop comparable taxonomies and detect greenwashing and enable various stakeholders to compare companies’ ESG performance.

OBJECTIVE

To determine the prevalence, progression, and modifiable risk factors associated with the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in a population-based cohort of youth-onset diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted a multicenter, population-based prospective cohort study (2002–2019) of youth and young adults with youth-onset type 1 diabetes (n = 2,519) and type 2 diabetes (n = 447). Modifiable factors included baseline and change from baseline to follow-up in BMI z score, waist/height ratio, systolic and diastolic blood pressure z score, and A1C. DR included evidence of mild or moderate nonproliferative DR or proliferative retinopathy. Prevalence estimates were standardized to estimate the burden of DR, and inverse probability weighting for censoring was applied for estimating risk factors for DR at two points of follow-up.

RESULTS

DR in youth-onset type 1 and type 2 diabetes is highly prevalent, with 52% of those with type 1 diabetes and 56% of those with type 2 diabetes demonstrating retinal changes at follow-up (mean [SD] 12.5 [2.2] years from diagnosis). Higher baseline A1C, increase in A1C across follow-up, and increase in diastolic and systolic blood pressure were associated with the observation of DR at follow-up for both diabetes types. Increase in A1C across follow-up was associated with retinopathy progression. BMI z score and waist/height ratio were inconsistently associated, with both positive and inverse associations noted.

CONCLUSIONS

Extrapolated to all youth-onset diabetes in the U.S., we estimate 110,051 cases of DR developing within ∼12 years postdiagnosis. Tight glucose and blood pressure management may offer the opportunity to mitigate development and progression of DR in youth-onset diabetes.

OBJECTIVE

Most people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or advanced fibrosis remain undiagnosed, resulting in missed opportunities for early intervention. This multicenter prospective study aimed at assessing the yield of using routinely available data for identifying these patients.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A total of 713 outpatients with T2DM, screened in four diabetology clinics for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) according to American Diabetes Association criteria, were referred to hepatologists for further work-up (FIB-4 and vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE)). A liver biopsy was proposed when ALT levels were persistently >20 IU/L in females or >30 IU/L in males, in the absence of other liver disease.

RESULTS

Liver biopsies were performed in 360 patients and considered adequate for reading after central review in 330 (median age 59 years, male 63%, BMI 32 kg/m2, HbA1C 7.5 %). Prevalence of NASH, advanced fibrosis, and cirrhosis were 58%, 38%, and 10%, respectively. Liver lesions were independently associated with the components of metabolic syndrome, but not with the micro- and macrovascular complications of T2DM. Models based on routinely available data with or without VCTE had good accuracy to predict advanced fibrosis (AUROC 0.84 and 0.77, correctly classified 59% and 45%, respectively) and NASH (AUROC 0.82 and 0.81, 44% and 42%, respectively). 

CONCLUSIONS

Despite the use of a low ALT threshold, prevalence of NASH (58%) or advanced fibrosis (38%) was high. Routinely available data had a high yield in identifying T2DM patients with advanced fibrosis and/or NASH requiring further liver assessment.

Objective

People living with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are at higher infection risk, but it is unknown how this risk varies by ethnicity, or whether the risk is similarly observed in people with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia (“prediabetes”).

Research Design and Methods

We included 527,151 patients in England with T2DM and 273,216 with prediabetes, aged 18-90 and alive on 1st January 2015 on the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Each were matched to 2 patients without diabetes or prediabetes on age, sex and ethnic group. Infections during 2015-9 were collated from primary care and linked hospitalisation records. Infection incidence rate ratios (IRR) for prediabetes or T2DM were estimated, unadjusted and adjusted for confounders.

Results

People with T2DM had increased risk for infections presenting in primary care (IRR=1.51, 95%CI 1.51-1.52) and hospitalisations (IRR=1.91, 1.90-1.93). This was broadly consistent overall within each ethnic group, though younger White T2DM patients (age <50) experienced a greater relative risk. Adjustment for socio-economic deprivation, smoking and co-morbidity attenuated associations, but IRRs remained similar by ethnicity. For prediabetes, a significant but smaller risk was observed (primary care IRR=1.35 1.34-1.36, hospitalisation IRR=1.33, 1.31-1.35); these were similar within each ethnicity for primary care infections, but less consistent for infection related hospitalisations.

Conclusions

The elevated infection risk for people with T2DM appears similar for different ethnic groups and is also seen in people with prediabetes. Infections are a substantial cause of ill-health and health service use for people with prediabetes and T2DM. This has public health implications with rising prediabetes and diabetes prevalence.
