Authors: Tao YunFei , Wu Jin Long , Peng Li , Zheng KangYong , Huang Li , Liu Hao Wei , Shi Qiu qiong , Tian Hao Dong
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 outbreak has gradually become more normal. College students, one of the groups most affected by the epidemic, often suffer from varying degrees of psychological problems. The prevention and improvement of college students' psychological problems are particularly important for both individuals and society.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to explore (1) the changes in college students’ negative emotions during the epidemic containment period, (2) the correlation between negative emotions and healthy behaviors, and (3) the main factors that can affect negative emotions in healthy behaviors.

METHODS

A total of 5872 Chinese college students was selected as subjects in this study. The negative emotion Scale (DASS-21) and the health Behavior Scale (HPLP-Ⅱ) were used to investigate the level of negative emotions and health behaviors on November 12, 2021, and June 17, 2022, respectively.

RESULTS

The results obtained in this study have shown the significant differences between negative emotions and health behavior scores at two-time points. And there was a negative correlation between negative emotions and health behaviors. The former negative emotions can predict later health behaviors, and the former health behaviors can predict later negative emotions. In addition, stress management, spiritual growth, and responsibility for health in health behaviors have a strong correlation with negative emotions, which are the main influencing factors to reduce negative emotions in college students.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this study suggest that the psychological problems of college students have become particularly serious under the dual influence of campus lockdown and academic pressure during the epidemic. Positive health behaviors may be beneficial to reduce the negative emotions of college students. Therefore, we should pay more attention to their mental health problems by reminding and guiding them to adopt a healthy lifestyle, to prevent and improve the mental health problems that they may have been accumulating, and for supporting them when necessary.

Authors: Larsen Dana M. , Boscardin Christy K. , Sparks Matthew A.
Published: February 2023

Background

As free open access medical education (FOAMed) use increases, it is important to characterize how and why learners are using this educational material in nephrology. We describe the frequency, purpose, and type of FOAMed usage across US nephrology fellows.

Methods

In this cross-sectional survey, items were emailed to all US adult and pediatric nephrology fellows via the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Fellow Survey in May 2022. The eight-item survey, developed to measure FOAMed engagement, had previously undergone instrument validation. The results were analyzed by descriptive statistics.

Results

In total, 43% (359/842) adult nephrology fellows and 51% (45/88) pediatric nephrology fellows completed the survey. Seventy-four percent (300/404) of fellows reported using FOAMed, and 72% (215/300) started using FOAMed within the past 2 years. Of FOAMed users, 41% (122/300) reported viewing FOAMed and 33% (99/300) reported applying knowledge gained from these resources daily or weekly. Common purposes for FOAMed engagement included searching Twitter to learn about others' opinions in the field (43%; 130/300), reading blogs to answer clinical questions (35%; 105/300), and listening to podcasts for the most up-to-date information (39%; 116/300). Compared with traditional educational resources, fellows preferred using FOAMed for staying up to date on nephrology topics (75%) and answering clinical questions (37%). Among all fellows, the greatest barriers to FOAMed use were unfamiliarity with FOAMed (27%; 111/404), validity concerns (22%; 90/404), and a lack of a local community of FOAMed users (22%; 87/404).

Conclusions

Seventy-four percent of nephrology fellows used FOAMed resources in a variety of ways, and of them, 33% of fellows clinically applied knowledge gained from these resources. Reasons for engaging with FOAMed varied across resources.
En otro margen: Miguel Brascó

En un contexto artístico al menos adverso a la representación del consumo y el ocio, el argentino Miguel Brascó, habitué de bodegas y restaurantes, escribió gran cantidad de crónicas sobre el escabio y el morfi orientadas al mundo gourmet. Este escritor bautizado “periodista de vinos” (que realizaba charlas en viñedos, participaba de programas televisivos sobre cocina y dirigía revistas gastronómicas) construyó una imagen de cronista bon vivant atípica para el género a la vez que inauguró una escritura sin prejuicios sobre temas desatendidos. En este artículo, se aborda la centralidad del placer definitoria de su estética que ilumina una zona oculta de la crónica latinoamericana forjada a partir de un autor que en su relación con el mundo antepuso el disfrute. Estos textos de fines del siglo xx fueron construidos a partir del saber de la boca o, en términos de Michel Onfray, la sapiencia gustativa: un placer de la lengua que, en la prosa de Miguel Brascó, deviene placer del lenguaje. De allí la originalidad de este artículo de abordar a un autor al margen del canon con una posición excéntrica respecto de los temas y modos de representación hegemónicos.
¿El ciudadano que resiste o el sujeto que obedece? Tensiones entre la resistencia y la obediencia en la filosofía de Spinoza
Authors: Ricci Cernadas Gonzalo , Rozenberg Antonio David
Published: February 2023

El presente artículo analiza la relación entre obediencia y resistencia en el pensamiento de Baruch Spinoza. Para demostrar la relación contingente y no necesaria que existe entre los términos, el autor divide el artículo en tres partes. La primera parte analiza a la resistencia desde la relación entre deseo e ingenium. La segunda parte se centra en el problema de la obediencia a partir de la figura del súbdito y su relación con el Estado. La tercera y última parte analiza las formas de libertad política en el pensamiento de Spinoza y da cuenta de cómo en la relación entre obediencia y resistencia no implica necesariamente la prioridad de la segunda sobre la primera
MacIntyre, la autoliberación y el problema de la autoridad
Authors: Saiz Mauro J.
Published: February 2023

El presente artículo rastrea el paralelismo existente en el pensamiento de Alasdair MacIntyre, entre la etapa marxista juvenil y la neoaristotélica madura, en cuanto al tipo de actividad de resistencia que se debe oponer al sistema y el modelo de autoridad que es necesario para sostener dicha actividad. Mediante una lectura comparativa de los textos más relevantes de cada período, se llega a la conclusión de que no sólo la propuesta práctica constituye una forma de auto-liberación por parte de los sujetos perjudicados por el sistema y que el modelo de autoridad es uno voluntariamente aceptado y no coercitivo, sino también que en ambos momentos del análisis existe una tensión entre estos dos elementos, que el autor intenta resolver apelando a los mismos recursos

Published: February 2023

In the era of globalization, digital literacy has become one of the competencies that students must possess. Rarely can one find research that examines the effect of the WE-ARe model on digital literacy in biology education. WE-ARe is a constructivist-based active learning model consisting of Warm-up, Exploring, Argumentation, and Resume phases that emphasize students’ collaborative and elaborative qualities. The objective of the study was to determine the impact of the WE-ARe model on the digital literacy of future biology teacher candidates. This is a quasi-experimental study using the Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The research population comprised all Tadris Biology students from IAIN Ternate and STKIP Kie Raha in the City of Ternate, North Maluku, Indonesia. The research sample contained 60 fourth-semester students from the Department of Tadris Biology. The validity score for the literacy digital instrument was 3.89 (very valid), while the correlation value (r-calculated) was 0.585. The Cronbach-Alpha analysis showed a score of 0.939, indicating that the literacy digital instrument was valid and reliable for use in data collection. This study was conducted during the even semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. The data were analyzed through ANACOVA using 5% level of significance. The results demonstrated that the WE-ARe model had an impact on the preservice biology teachers’ digital literacy. The findings of this study provide an insight on the use of a new learning model that can be used to enhance students’ 21st century skills.

Published: February 2023

Recent studies have highlighted the positive correlation between total quality management (TQM) and the performance of manufacturing companies (Sahoo & Yadav, 2018), which has been proven, specifically that the achievement of better operational performance is enabled by the application of TQM. This research aims to measure the impact of TQM through the components: organizational leadership, customer relationship, human resource management, strategic planning development, and supplier management in the operational performance of manufacturing enterprises in Kosovo. The research was carried out using the quantitative method, where 308 managers were part of the sample. Referring to the ordinary least squares (OLS) model, it turned out that organizational leadership and supplier management had the greatest impact on operational performance, while strategic planning development had the least impact. Also, based on the Mann–Whitney U test, it was found that there is a difference in the operational performance of manufacturing enterprises by categorizing them according to the implementation of ISO standards, where the enterprises that implement ISO standards had better operational performance.

Published: February 2023

The primary objectives of this study was to identify business models to serve as the basis and offering alternative planning strategies for managing sustainable eco-tourism. To support these objectives, some methods were employed, including field observations and in-depth interviews applying questionnaires with stakeholders and visitors. Also, BMC and QSPM integration models were applied to determine the main alternative strategies. Results revealed that the existing eco-tourism management did not fully resolve the weaknesses and threats. Thus, it is also not in line with the sustainable eco-tourism requirements. However, current management strategies in the study area will likely improve and achieve maximum progress if stakeholders consider its opportunities and strengths. The most priority for the strategy for sustainable eco-tourism management is formulating model of carrying capacity.

Published: February 2023

In recent years increasing evidence suggests that commensal microbiota
may play an important role in health and disease, including
cerebrovascular disease. Gut microbes impact physiology, at least in
part by metabolizing dietary factors and also host-derived substrates
and then generating active compounds including toxins. The purpose of
the current review is to highlight the complex interplay between
microbiota, their metabolites and essential functions for human health
ranging from regulation of the metabolism and the immune system to
modulation of brain development and function. We also discuss the role
of gut dysbiosis in cerebrovascular disease, specifically in acute and
chronic stroke phases and the possible implication of intestinal
microbiota in post-stroke cognitive impairment and dementia, and we
identify potential therapeutic opportunities of targeting microbiota in
this context.
Histone deacetylase-mediated silencing of PSTPIP2 expression contributes to AAI-induced PANoptosis
Authors: Chuanting Xu , Qi Wang , Du Changlin , Dong Jiahui , Zhang Zhenming , Cai Na , Li Jun , Huang Cheng , Ma Taotao
Published: February 2023

Background and Purpose: Aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) is a
progressive kidney disease caused by using herbal medicines. Currently,
no therapies are available to treat or prevent AAN. Histone deacetylase
(HDAC) plays a crucial role in the development and progression of renal
disease. We tested whether HDAC inhibitors could prevent AAN and
determined the underlying mechanism. Experimental Approach: HDACs
expression in the kidneys was examined. Mouse kidney and renal tubular
epithelial cell damage were assessed after exposure to HDAC1 and HDAC2
blockade (FK-228). Conditional knock-in of
Proline-serine-threonine-phosphatase-interacting protein 2 (PSTPIP2) in
the kidney and knockdown of PSTPIP2 expression in PSTPIP2-knockin mice,
pathological parameters, and kidney injuries were assessed. Key Results:
Aristolochic acid upregulated the expression of HDAC1 and HDAC2 in the
kidneys. Notably, the HDAC1 and -2 specific inhibitor, romidepsin
(FK228, Depsipeptide), suppressed aristolochic acid-induced kidney
injury, epithelial cell pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis
(PANoptosis). Moreover, romidepsin upregulated PSTPIP2 in renal tubular
epithelial cells, which was enhanced by aristolochic acid treatment.
Conditional knock-in of PSTPIP2 in the kidney protected against AAN. In
contrast, the knockdown of PSTPIP2 expression in PSTPIP2-knockin mice
restored kidney damage and PANoptosis. PSTPIP2 function was determined
in vitro using PSTPIP2 knockdown or overexpression in mTEC.
Additionally, PSTPIP2 was found to regulate Caspase-8 in Aristolochic
acid nephropathy. Conclusion and Implications: HDAC-mediated silencing
of PSTPIP2 may contribute to aristolochic acid nephropathy. Hence, HDAC1
and -2 specific inhibitors or PSTPIP2 could be valuable therapeutic
agents for the prevention of aristolochic acid nephropathy.

chips are used as memory. Leakage power in the Gate and Sub - Threshold
level is a serious issue in VLSI systems. Power of multiple architecture
in an SRAM cell relies on each individual cell. The challenge will be to
reduce leakage power in these cells. The 6T SRAM cell has some
disadvantages such as power consumption, stability problems so, in order
to overcome problem stated above different techniques in 7T transistors
based SRAM structures are proposed, thus techniques like improved self

PERSISTENCE OF TRAVELING WAVES TO THE TIME FRACTIONAL KELLER-SEGEL SYSTEM WITH A SMALL PARAMETER
Authors: Chen Shuting , Cao Jinde , Stamova Ivanka
Published: February 2023

This paper aims to investigate the time fractional Keller-Segel system
with a small parameter. After the fractional order traveling wave
transformation, the heteroclinic orbit to the degenerate time fractional
Keller-Segel system is demonstrated through the method of constructing a
suitable invariant region. Moreover, the persistence of traveling waves
in the system with a small parameter can be further illustrated. The
results are mainly reliance on the application of geometric singular
perturbation theory and Fredholm theorem, which are fundamental
theoretical frameworks for dealing with problems of complexity and high
dimensionality. Eventually, the asymptotic behavior is depicted by the
asymptotic theory to illustrate the rate of decay for traveling waves.
Effectiveness of implementing biosimilars within a UK tertiary hospital; six-years follow up
Authors: Barron Andrew , Chung Jennifer , Ferner Robin , Leandro Maria , Maru Saloni , Scourfield Andrew , Urquhart Robert , Sofat Reecha
Published: February 2023

Health systems encourage switching from originators to biosimilars as
biosimilars are more cost-effective. The speed and completeness of
biosimilar adoption is a measure of efficiency. We describe the approach
to biosimilar adoption at a single hospital and compare its efficiency
against the English average. We additionally follow up patients who
reverted to a previously used biologic, having switched to a biosimilar,
to establish whether they benefitted from re-establishing prior
treatment. The approach we describe resulted in a faster and more
complete switch to biosimilars, which saved an additional £380,000 on
drug costs in 2021/22. Of patients who reverted to their original
biologic, 85% improved short-term where the concern was tolerability,
and 90% where it was efficacy. Patients remained on treatment for a
prolonged period after reverting. Our approach to biosimilar adoption
outperformed the English average and permits patients to revert to their
original biosimilar post-switch if appropriate.
The stability and neuroplasticity of the language control network in second language learning: a longitudinal resting-state fMRI study.
Authors: Li Zilong , Liu Cong , Ding Guosheng , Wang Ruiming
Published: February 2023

Previous studies directly found that the language control network in
humans has neuroplasticity. Nevertheless, its stability of it has not
been investigated directly. It is poorly understood whether and how
these two seemingly opposing features are implemented within the same
network. In the present study, we first directly measured the stability
and neuroplasticity of the language control network by resting-state
functional connectome. Then we explored morphological and topological
coupling patterns and the predictive abilities of two features. We
employed a cohort of Chinese first-year college students majoring in
English who underwent second language (L2) acquisition courses at
university and another cohort of Chinese students who did not undergo
the same course. Two resting-state fMRI scans were acquired
approximately one year apart. We found that the entire language control
network is stable rather than plastic. And the morphological coupling
pattern was not modular. The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC),
the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), and the right Caudate showed a
special role in the topological coupling pattern. Moreover, richer
second language learning suggested lower modular coupling and different
topological coupling patterns. Interestingly, the FC part for stability
could predict the improvement of L2 proficiency. These findings provide
preliminary evidence about how stability and plasticity coexist in the
same neural network and deepen our understanding of the development of
the language control network in long-term second language learning.
Computational modelling and experimental study of the thermal transport characteristics of graphene nanoribbons
Authors: Chen Junjie
Published: February 2023

Graphene is a two-dimensional form of crystalline carbon, either a
single layer of carbon atoms forming a hexagonal lattice or several
coupled layers of this honeycomb structure. Graphene is a parent form of
all graphitic structures of carbon. However, the field of graphene
science and technology is relatively new. Progress depends not only on
the basic science but also on the development of new ways to produce
graphene on an industrial scale. The present study is focused primarily
upon the thermal transport characteristics of graphene nanoribbons. The
thermal transport characteristics of graphene nanoribbons are studied
using molecular dynamics simulations and by experimental measurements. A
specific heat flux is imposed through the graphene nanoribbon. The
graphene nanoribbon is considered as a single layer of carbon atoms with
each atom bound to three neighbors in a honeycomb structure. The thermal
conductivity is determined from the temperature gradient obtained and
the heat flux imposed. The present study aims to provide a fundamental
understanding of the thermal transport properties of graphene
nanoribbons. Particular emphasis is placed upon the effect of various
factors on the thermal conductivity of graphene nanoribbons under
different conditions. the results indicate that the mean free path of
phonons depends on the nanoribbon structure and dimensions. The thermal
conductivity increases with increasing nanoribbon length. Graphene
nanoribbons offer tremendous promise for providing enhanced transport
performance. Graphene undergoes a metallic-to-semiconducting transition
as the nanoribbon width decreases. The properties of graphene
nanoribbons are highly dependent on their width and edge structure. The
graphene nanoribbons can be derived through the longitudinal splitting
of carbon nanotubes.

Distribution of laser cladding powder concentration on the substrate base on 3D curved surface fitting
Authors: Xu Mingsan , Wang Jianguo , Chen Xiangdang , Zeng Shoujin , Xiao Gongxuan
Published: February 2023

In the laser cladding (LC) process, the powder concentration distribution on substrates greatly influences the quality and property of coating. Coaxial powder is used for precise coating due to its good powder particle convergence. This paper presents a simulation and experimental approach to study the powder concentration distribution on a substrate. The powder concentration distribution on the substrate was fitted with a three-dimensional curved surface by changing the jet velocity of the injected powder. Accordingly, the model equations were obtained. A high-speed camera captured the powder concentration distribution and obtained the gray value of the pixel. The results show that the distribution area of powder particles decreases and finally tends to have stable values in the simulation with the increase in the powder jet velocity. The concentration of the powder center first gradually increased and then decreased. The powder distribution shape gradually changed from the spindle shape to round shape. The cloud map of the powder concentration distribution is consistent with the figure of the gray value of the pixel. A theoretical guidance is provided for the prediction of LC morphology.
Add a dash of salt? Effects of road de-icing salt (NaCl) on benthic respiration and nutrient fluxes in freshwater sediments
Authors: Williams Clayton J. , Frost Paul C. , Ginn Brian K. , Marsalek Jiri , Xenopoulos Marguerite A.
Published: February 2023

Winter road salt applications are increasing chloride concentrations in many freshwater ecosystems. This trend is alarming, giv¬en chloride’s potential to impair aquatic ecosystems. Short- and long-term exposure to salt could affect ecosystem metabolism and nutrient cycles. Here, we examine connections between chloride concentrations, water quality conditions, benthic respi¬ration, and sediment-water nutrient flux throughout a large (722 km2) lake and its catchment. Aquatic locations experiencing high concentrations of chloride are indicators of anthropogenic activities and are often associated with additional pollutants. We used sediment core flow-through incubations under ambient and enriched chloride concentrations to determine the effects of road salt on benthic respiration and nutrient fluxes in stream, stormwater pond, and lake sites. Salt (as sodium chloride) ad¬ditions caused a significant overall increase in benthic respiration. Acute exposure to road salt caused the strongest increase in benthic respiration when water was warm and at sites that had low (< 50 mg Cl-/L) or high (> 400 mg Cl-/L) ambient chloride concentrations or when water was cold and sites had intermediate (100-400 mg Cl-/L) ambient chloride concentrations. Nitrate flux responded less uniformly to salt additions. Depending on waterbody type and season, ambient nitrate flux into the sediment was similar, increased, or decreased post-chloride addition. Dissolved phosphorus flux was not significantly impacted by salt additions. Across lake and stream sites, our results supported the hypothesis that chloride causes increased respiration while nutrient cycles were weakly and inconsistently altered under experimental pulse road salt additions.

OBJECTIVE

To describe the clinical disease, diagnostic findings, medical management, and outcome in dogs with alveolar echinococcosis (AE).

ANIMALS

4 dogs with naturally occurring AE.

PROCEDURES

Medical records were retrospectively reviewed from 2020 to 2022 to identify dogs diagnosed with AE. Signalment, case history, clinical signs, imaging and pathological laboratory findings, treatment, and clinical outcome were reported.

RESULTS

All dogs developed systemic clinical illness and weight loss. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed multifocal to coalescent cystic masses of variable size distributed throughout the liver in all cases. Evaluation of aspirated hepatic cyst contents included membranous parasite structures and calcareous corpuscles. Echinococcus multilocularis was confirmed via PCR from hepatic cyst fluid in 3 of 4 cases. Treatment included systemic benzimidazole and praziquantel administration, 1 or more instances of ultrasound-guided cyst drainage in all cases, with ethanol ablation (percutaneous aspiration-injection-reaspiration) in 2 cases, and surgical resection in 1 case. Two of 4 dogs were euthanized within 5 months of diagnosis. One of these dogs was necropsied and had nearly complete obliteration of the hepatic parenchyma by multilocular cystic masses. One dog is still alive, and 1 dog has been lost to follow-up.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

This series of cases highlighted the diagnostic findings and therapeutic intervention in 4 dogs with AE. This was the first report of medical management incorporating the percutaneous aspiration-injection-reaspiration method used in humans. Reports of canine AE are rare in the US, so this series serves to help raise awareness of hepatic AE in the northwestern US.

The paper focuses on research on improving the water supply of drainage systems of humid areas in the context of anthropogenic climate change. The aim of the research is to elaborate on the ways for increasing the available water supply of drainage systems and restoring active water regulation on reclaimed lands in a changing climate. Reclaimed lands are the main factor of sustainable agricultural production in Ukraine and guarantors of its stability. The area of drained lands in Ukraine is about 3.2 million hectares, including 2.3 million hectares drained with the help of closed drainage; in an area of 1.3 million hectares a two-way regulation of the soil water regime is carried out. An increase in air temperature and uneven distribution of precipitation, which has a torrential, local character in the warm period, do not allow for the e ective accumulation of moisture. The recurrence of droughts in di erent justified climatic zones of Ukraine has increased by 20–40%, which prevents sustainable agricultural production in the zone of su cient atmospheric moisture, in particular the Polesie Ecoregion. In this paper, the analysis of water consumption of reclaimed lands in the Polesie Ecoregion of Ukraine is carried out, on the examples of the drainage system “Maryanivka” and the calculation of the water supply for the corn and winter wheat.

DUPLICATION OF NOMINA IN MINANGKABAU LANGUAGE IN DAILY USE IN THE CITY OF PADANG
Authors: Darmawan Alex , Rahmat Wahyudi
Published: February 2023

In the Minangkabau language of Indonesia, the class of nouns can have multiple forms, which are used frequently in everyday conversation. The Minangkabau language contains examples of both of these types of word reduplication. According to our line of reasoning, reduplication occurs when the Minangkabau language, which is currently in a relatively complex linguistic state, becomes one of the internal states with power in speech when the speaker delivers it. In addition to the functions and meanings that emerge as a direct consequence of these replications, the phenomenon provides very convincing evidence. First, this article describes the various types of reduplication found within the class of nouns in the Minangkabau language. After that, the functions and meanings derived from each type of reduplication will be found. Specifically, the article focuses on the duplication of nouns and discusses the reduplication of adjectives and verbs. To accomplish this goal, the distributional method and various applications of the technique are the approaches that are taken as their respective approaches. As a result of the findings of the analysis, several distinct types of reduplication forms were found to exist within the Minangkabau language. The first category included nothing but nouns that were used repeatedly. The second point is that the affix is present within the noun itself. Third, the term "pseudo-repetitive nouns" is repeated within the noun. The meaning conveyed by the duplication of the nomina in the Minangkabau language includes the following: the sense of similarity; the sense of plural; the sense of intensity or emphasis; and the sense of similarity. Keywords: reduplication, nomina, Minangkabau language

Fetal growth monitoring can be observed by measuring the Symphysis-Fundal Height (SFH). To determine fetal growth, the SFH measurement is calculated into the Estimation Fetal Weight (EFW) formula. EFW formulas using SFH measurements include the Niswander method and the Risanto formula. This study aims to compare the results of the calculation of the EFW formula which is closest to the birth weight of the baby. This study is a comparative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design, which measures the SFH and weighs the baby's birth weight directly. The population of this research is pregnant women who will give birth at RSUD Soewondo Kendal. A total of 176 samples were taken using a consecutive sampling technique. The results of the independent t-test showed that the Risanto formula had no difference in the birth weight of the baby, while the Niswander method had a significant difference in the actual birth weight of the baby.
