Background: The helminthic zoonotic disease echinococcosis is brought on by tapeworms that are members of the genus (Family Taeniidae). Currently, Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus multilocularis, Echinococcus vogeli, Echinococcus oligarthrus and Echinococcus shiquicus are identified species. Of them, E. granulosus and E. multilocularisare important zoonotic organisms that cause cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis in humans, respectively (Bowles and McManus, 1993). Echinococcus granulosus is mainly spread by dogs and a few other intermediate hosts, although it is hardly ever a part of a naturally occurring predator-prey cycle that is not caused by humans. Methods: In a present study, 1254 small ruminants (723 sheep and 531 goats) and 305 dogs, including 122 pet dogs visiting small animal clinics, 183 stray dogs in Jammu division, for a period of 12 months (July, 2021- June, 2022) were taken for the detection of the prevalence of cystic echinococcosis and molecular detection. Result: Among sheep and goats, 209 animals (sheep = 137 and goats = 72) were found infected with hydatidosis with an overall infection rate of 16.67% (sheep = 18.95% and goats = 13.56%). Molecular prevalence based on copro PCR was conducted in dogs, in which the overall prevalence of Echinococcus was found to be 14.09% [stray (22.95%); pet (0.82%)]. For the identification of Echinococcus species from cyst of sheep, goats and humans, a PCR protocol employing the Cox1 primers was used. The amplified products of PCR were electrophoretically separated on agar gels (1%) and analysed in a gel documentation system. Clear amplification was noticed at 440 bp for sheep, goat andhuman. The generated Cox1 partial sequences were assigned theaccession numbers as: dog (ON427821), goat (ON427822), sheep (ON427823), human 1(OP215294) and human 2 (OP215295). All the Cox1 sequences from dog, goat, sheep and humans were clustering in same clade, irrespective of their geographical location, representingthe cycle of transmission in Jammu region as Echinococcus granulosus G1-G3 complex.
The Potential of Restorative Justice: Holistic Student Development Based on Respect and Relationships
Authors: Velez Gabriel
Published: September 2024

Harnessing educational contexts to build equitable and just societies requires attention to young people’s meaning-making and development. The end goals of such efforts inherently extend beyond the schools themselves to include the skills, orientations, and values youth bring to their lives outside and after school. Additionally, interventions and programs that are meant to be supportive may not be experienced in that way by students. These foci are essential for better understanding the potential of school restorative justice, a growing movement in schools across the world. In this article, I define school restorative justice, review literature on its potential, and then make a case for a developmental perspective on how it might shape young people’s lives and identities. Specifically, I apply the framework of conceptualized peace to argue for attention to how young people interpret, respond to, and build identities in relation to these experiences. The results are consequential because this framework highlights deeper impacts on students, as well as the reasons young people may or may not engage with them.

Una comedia no autorizada en epístolas: Ónfale y Hércules de sor Juana
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México - Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas, Barragán Aroche Raquel
Published: September 2024

Se da cuenta de cómo el símbolo representado en la historia de Ónfale y Hércules, tomado de las Heroidas de Ovidio, que sor Juana remite en la Crisis, se transforma en una petición de principios que conlleva una puesta en escena: mientras ella aprovecha a arrebatar la pluma representada en la clava hercúlea, algunos de sus interlocutores, cual Hércules, visten el hábito e hilan discursos hacia ella. En la primera parte de este trabajo se analiza la mezcla de letras humanas (letras clásicas) y divinas, como elementos simbólicos que están tras bambalinas antes de la puesta en escena; en la segunda, se estudian las proyecciones del mito en su escritura y en los receptores.

Perlindungan anak adalah segala kegiatan untuk menjamin dan melindungi anak dan hak-haknya agar dapat hidup, tumbuh, berkembang, dan berpartisipasi secara optimal sesuai dengan harkat dan martabat kemanusiaan, serta mendapat perlindungan dari kekerasan dan diskriminasi. Terkait dengan hal tersebut, dalam menyelesaikan perkara pidana anak, maka dalam Undang-undang Peradilan Pidana Anak (UUPPA) menegaskan bahwa harus digunakan konsep Restorativ Justice atau Diversi, yaitu Yaitu pengalihan atau pemindahan dari proses peradilan ke dalam proses alternative penyelesaian perkara, yakni melalui musyawarah atau  mediasi.Adapun yang menjadi tujuan upaya diversi adalah untuk menghindari anak dari penahanan, menghindari cap/label anak sebagai penjahat, mencegah pengulangan tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh anak, agar anak bertanggung jawab atas perbuatannya, melakukan intervensi-intervensi yang diperlukan bagi korban dan anak tanpa harus melalui proses formal Menghindari anak mengikuti proses sistem peradilan,dan menjauhkan anak dari pengaruh dan implikasi negatif dari proses peradilan.
Pelaksanaan atau penerapan diversi dalam sistem peradilan pidana anak dilakukan pada tingkat penyidikan, penuntutan dan pemeriksaan perkara di pengadilan negeri. Proses diversi dilakukan melalui musyawarah dengan melibatkan anak dan orang tua/walinya, pembimbing kemasyarakatan dan pekerja sosial profesional berdasarkan pendekatan keadilan restorative. Hasil kesepakatan Diversi dapat berbentuk, antara lain; perdamaian dengan atau tanpa ganti kerugian, pengembalian kerugian dalam hal ada korban, rehabilitasi medis dan psikososial, keikutsertaan dalam pendidikan atau pelatihan di lembaga pendidikan atau LPKS paling lama 3 (tiga) bulan; atau pelayanan masyarakat paling lama 3 (tiga) bulan.
Hakikat Keluarga Islam
Authors: Komarudin Koko
Published: September 2024

Abstrak: Pembahasan tentang keluarga Islam berarti membahas tentang keluarga yang tersebar di seluruh penjuru dunia dimana Islam menjadi bagian dari agama yang dianut penduduknya. Hukum keluarga Islam (Al Akhwal al Syakhsiyyah) merupakan bagian utama dari hukum Islam dengan porsi yang lebih besar dan perhatian yang cukup tinggi baik yang bersumber dari langit yakni wahyu ilahi (Al Quran) dan sunah Rasulullah Saw maupun dari peraturan perundangan yang berlaku di setiap negara. Hukum keluarga Islam pada dasarnya hadir untuk memberikan pemahaman dan wawasan yang komprehensif dan integral tentang bagaimana berkeluarga yang sesuai dengan aturan-aturan Islam. Tujuannya adalah memberikan pendampingan agar bisa mereda atau mencegah timbulnya sumber-sumber persengketaan diantara anggota keluarga bahkan menawarkan cara-cara penyelesaian segala permasalahan yang terjadi dan dihadapi oleh setiap keluarga Islam. Hakikat keluarga Islam adalah sebuah idealitas dari perwujudan keluarga yang mendasarkan segala aktivitas dan komunikasi serta interaksinya baik dalam kondisi damai maupun dalam suasana bersengketa kepada aturan-aturan Islam yang bersumber dari Al Quran dan hadis. Terkait dengan keluarga Islam yang berada dalam sebuah negara, maka iapun tidak bisa melepaskan dirinya dari aturan-aturan yang mengikat seperti UU Perkawinan maupun Kompilasi Hukum Islam. Hal tersebut dalam rangka mewujudkan cita-cita mulia keluarga Islam yaitu membangun sebuah keluarga yang sakinah, mawaddah warohmah. Keluarga Islam tidak berarti tidak menghadapi tantangan dan perselisihan. Akan tetapi keluarga Islam selalu berupaya untuk menyelesaikan setiap kasus, masalah dan pertentangan yang terjadi di antara anggota keluarga dengan merujuk kembali kepada Al Quran dan hadis dan jikapun diperlukan maka para pihak yang terkait misalnya Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) dan Peradilan Agama (PA) diikutsertakan terlibat dalam penyelesaian permasalahannya. Harapan akhirnya bahwa seluruh aktivitas yang terjadi dalam keluarga Islam bisa merepresentasikan seluruh maqashid al-syari’ah yaitu hifdz al diin, hifdz al nafs, hifdz al aql, hifdz al nasl dan hifdz al maal.

Published: September 2024

In agricultural production areas, various factors contribute to yield losses under pre-harvest and post harvest storage conditions. Among these factors, agricultural pests stand out as a primary concern. For many years, pesticides have been utilized as part of chemical control measures to control pest populations. However, the identification of the toxic effects of pesticides on non-target organisms and particularly, the residue problems affecting humans directly under storage conditions have led to restrictions on pesticide use. This has prompted the emergence of alternative pest control methods. This review focuses on recent studies related to potential control methods that have shown promising results as alternatives to pesticides in the management of Rhyzopertha dominica, a significant stored-product pest.

The textile industry has been a critical driver of global economic growth in recent decades. However, this growth is inextricably linked to its environmental impact. The textile industry causes significant environmental issues, including water pollution from dyes, high water usage, and greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding these specific environmental issues highlights the need to explore solutions, such as using eco-friendly clothing. This study aims to identify the factors that influence generation Z consumers’ preferences for eco-friendly clothing products in Indonesia by adopting the theoretical framework of the Information-Motivation-Behavioural Skills (IMB) model. The IMB model was chosen for its comprehensive approach to explaining how information and motivation, combined with behavioral skills, drive consumer actions, making it suitable for analyzing sustainable purchasing behavior. 201 generation Z respondents in Indonesia completed the survey using consecutive sampling. The data was then analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed a positive and significant influence between green self-concept and subjective norm on the purchase intention of environmentally friendly clothing. However, green clothing knowledge’s effect on purchase intention was not statistically significant. Further results found that green clothing self-efficacy can mediate the influence of green self-concept and subjective norm on green clothing purchase intention. However, green self-efficacy has not been proven to mediate the effect of environmental apparel knowledge on purchase intention.

Published: September 2024

Los aceites lubricantes usados (ALU), pueden causar daños al ambiente cuando no son gestionados correctamente. En México, una de las prácticas de los consumidores de aceites lubricantes es realizar el cambio de aceite de sus vehículos en sus domicilios. El aceite usado resultante suele ser desechado en las coladeras, terrenos baldíos o quemado sin precauciones, entre otras prácticas que impactan negativamente el ambiente. Por ello es importante estudiar al generador tomando como marco las teorías que abordan las actitudes ambientales y aplicarlo al tema del manejo de residuos, en este caso de aceites usados. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar los conceptos almacenados en la memoria semántica alrededor del desecho de los ALU como residuos peligrosos domésticos, en los individuos que los generan y manejan, con el fin de utilizarlos para el análisis de las actitudes hacia el manejo responsable de los ALU en los hogares, con la intención de diseñar estrategias alineadas con estas actitudes y que requieran supervisión mínima por parte de los municipios, quienes son los responsables de gestionarlos Para ello se utilizó el análisis de redes semánticas (ARS). Se encuestó a 100 propietarios de vehículos de distintos estratos sociales de la localidad de Ensenada, B.C. Los resultados muestran que la falta de información sobre el manejo de ALU es lo más común en hombres y mujeres. También se identificó que existe buena actitud hacia el desecho responsable y que esta tendencia podría mantenerse si se implementan campañas de difusión y concientización.

Published: September 2024

Metric dimension is a concept in graph theory that has been developed in terms of the concept and its application. Let G be a connected graph and S be a vertex subset on connected graph G. The set S is called a resolving set for G if every vertex on graph G has a distinct representation of one to each other of S. A resolving set containing a minimum cardinality is called basis. The metric dimension on graph G is cardinality of basis on graph G, notated with dim (G). In this case, the cross-product graph will be used for the research. The aim of this research is to determine the metric dimension of the second order complete graph (K2) with honeycomb networks (HC(n)) cross-operation product. Utilizing mathematical induction, we generated dim(K2×HC(n)) = 3.
Theological Values in Inter-religious Relation Verses : A Study on Tafsir Marah Labid
Authors: Ainul Yaqin Muhammad , Saiful Mujab Muhammad
Published: September 2024

Building interreligious relations was often viewed merely from social perspectives. It actually contains theological values. This research attempts to analyze the theological values in the tolerance and interreligious relation verses of the Qur’an that are interpreted by Syaikh Nawawi Al-Bantani. This descriptive-analytical study employs thematic methods by Al-Farmawi. The collected data are then analyzed in terms of its theological aspect. Marah Al-Labid is chosen for it’s written by an Indonesian scholar connecting classic and modern era. In addition, Marah Al-Labid is of Sufistic tafsir. Therefore, it is interesting to know how an Indonesian scholar viewed interreligious relation and its spiritual and theological values in the context of Indonesia. It can be concluded that having interreligious relation is lawful. Muslims are allowed to have social relation with Ahlul kitab or the people of books such as to get marry with them, to eat the meat of the animals they (Jews and Christians) slaughtered, and to have debate and discussion with them in the best way.

  
Wealth in the Perspective of the Qur'an: An Exploration Through the Maudhui’s Exegesis Approach
Authors: Faradina Gita Nurul , Makmun Muhammad
Published: September 2024

Humans cannot be separated from wealth. Even as Muslims, in performing acts of worship or transactions, wealth is needed, for instance, in performing Hajj. The reality is that many Muslims are unable to perform Hajj due to financial constraints. This situation is exacerbated by stereotypes from preachers, such as on Teuku's YouTube channel, where he stated that Allah hastens the rewards for non-believers in this world while Muslims will receive them in the hereafter. This can become a mental block for Muslims, causing them to resign to their circumstances and be reluctant to strive for stable financial goals. Additionally, there is a ḥadīṡ narrated by at-Tirmiżi where the Prophet prayed to live and die in a state of poverty because the poor will enter paradise earlier than the wealthy. However, upon closer examination, this ḥadīṡ is considered ḥadīṡ garib and cannot be used as a binding proof. It can be seen that being wealthy is not prohibited, as it can make many things easier for us. However, everyone's definition of wealth is different. To address this issue, the author employs a Maqasidi interpretation approach using descriptive analysis. The article finds that the orientation of wealth according to the Qur'an is not solely focused on material possessions but rather towards spiritual orientation (inner wealth). Abundance holds significant importance in fulfilling life's needs, both in worship (ibadah mahdlah) and transactions (muamalah). However, the article highlights that true wealth lies in richness of the heart, as financial wealth not used for the good of Allah's path may be in vain and provide no benefit in the afterlife. Therefore, a balance between worldly and hereafter aspects is needed in attaining wealth.

Published: September 2024

polystyrene-polyisobutylene-polystyrene star-block copolymer (PS-PIB-PS) is a thermoplastic elastomer with visco hyperelastic characteristics that displays a high level of toughness and performs well in shock attenuating applications. The research goal is to investigate experimentally and numerically the capacity of PS-PIB-PS to dissipate kinetic energy and examine its deformation and failure modes under impact by spherical steel projectiles at speed ranges of 200–1,700 m/s. First, PS-PIB-PS is characterized using a Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar to measure high strain rate response and calibrate a hyperelastic material model. Second, ballistics tests are conducted on 12 in. × 12 in. PS-PIB-PS targets with various thicknesses to determine the ballistic limit and residual velocity (Vr) versus impact velocity (Vi) relationship. Finally, ALE3D is used to model the ballistic response and capture the extreme deformation observed during testing. During ballistic impact tests, significant deformation occurred on the backside of polymer targets, followed by perforation of the polymer, culminating with retraction and recovery of the polymer in a self-healing manner. Numerical simulations captured the deformation behavior during impact and predicted the Vr versus Vi response with high accuracy. This research provides a method of modeling hyperelastic materials subjected to ballistic impact and provides a better understanding of energy dissipation of these materials.

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a derivação de sentenças com advérbios empilhados especificadores dos sintagmas aspectuais funcionais de AsphabitualP, AspcontinuativoP, AspprospectivoP por meio da sua ordem de realização. A metodologia adotada consiste na aplicação de um Teste de Julgamento de Aceitabilidade a falantes nativos de inglês britânico. Neste teste, empregam-se a variável dependente Julgamentos (positivos/negativos) e a variável independente Ordenamento (“cinqueniano”/“não cinqueniano”). A predição adotada é a de que os ordenamentos Usually Still, Still Almost e Usually Almost receberão mais julgamentos positivos do que os ordenamentos Still Usually, Almost Still e Almost Usually. Os resultados apontam que, embora os ordenamentos Almost Still e Almost Usually recebam ligeiramente mais julgamentos negativos do que Still Almost e Usually Almost, o mesmo não ocorre com o ordenamento Still Usually, que é mais bem aceito do que Usually Still. Observou-se que o único contexto relevante em que o tipo de ordenamento parece influenciar os julgamentos atribuídos são os de emprego de Still Almost e Almost Still (p-valor = 0,002). Propõe-se que os julgamentos positivos a ordenamentos “não cinquenianos” possam ser explicados à luz de estruturas de modificação direta, de movimento remanescente e de diferentes relações de escopo.
Modeling the dynamics of social preparedness with regional interactions to explore efficient flood early warning systems
Authors: Kotani Hitomu , Ogawa Wataru , Matsushima Kakuya , Susaki Junichi , Sawada Yohei
Published: September 2024

Flood early warning systems (FEWS) are essential in mitigating flood damage. To optimize their effectiveness, it is important to understand how people respond to warnings and prepare for flooding events. The key factors influencing social preparedness include (1) direct and (2) indirect experiences of floods and (3) trust in warnings. However, existing socio-hydrological models do not incorporate all these elements. To include these elements for social preparedness, we propose an idealized model that allows multiple regions to influence one another (i.e., regional interactions). We investigate the dynamics of social preparedness in a society composed of regions with varying infrastructure levels (e.g., levee heights) and explore strategies for developing a socially efficient FEWS. Numerical analyses reveal that in a society that has a region characterized by a low infrastructure level (i.e., a region with frequent floods), regional interactions lead to a pronounced cry wolf effect due to false alarms from other regions, diminishing social preparedness in the low-infrastructure region. These interactions also prevent a warning strategy that optimizes the natural science-based index (i.e., threat score) from maximizing social efficiency. Conversely, in a society that has a region characterized by a high infrastructure level (i.e., a region with infrequent floods), regional interactions enhance the efficiency of FEWS by improving social preparedness through indirect experiences with floods. These findings suggest that as regional heterogeneity increases, it becomes increasingly vital for forecasters to consider social aspects (e.g., people's experiences, trust, and interactions) when establishing a socially efficient FEWS. The refined model will be valuable to forecasters in designing effective FEWS in real-world situations.
A sinusoidal twin boundary harmonizes with the elastic anisotropy of quartz
Authors: Barbee Olivia , Pankhurst Matthew , Bachmann Florian , Oddershede Jette , Sun Jun
Published: September 2024

Minerals are crystalline solids manifesting various symmetries in their ordered structures despite high-energy defects seated in their atomic templates. Twin boundaries are imperfections affording energy reduction through reflection, rotation, or inversion of the crystal lattice, forming symmetrical intergrowths. Quartz is one of many minerals that twins as a rule, yet its most common twin is rarely seen without destructive analysis. Disguised as one crystal, this penetrative twin abides by the Dauphiné Law, appearing in 2D as patchworks of irregular domains to roughly triangular sectors. The physical basis for such diverse morphologies remains inconclusive. However, because twins are related by a rotational symmetry that disrupts quartz’s piezoelectric property, their enigma and ubiquity have plagued quartz’s profound technological role in society for over a century. Here we noninvasively map twins and find their boundaries ideally manifest as a 3D waveform oscillating in harmony with α-quartz’s elastic anisotropy. While maximizing elastic strain energy, the sinusoid minimizes internal energy by equipoising twins’ softer and stiffer parts that are transposed in r- and z-rhombohedra, such that oscillations correspond to the threefold c-axis symmetry mirrored in Young’s modulus. This helps explain twin diversity and invites new appraisals of quartz’s microstructural behavior from geological and engineering perspectives.
Leveraging Deep Learning for Respiratory Sound Analysis in Anomalies and Disease Detection
Authors: Kang Chew Min , Shanmugam Anandan , Faye Ibrahima , Nugroho Hermawan
Published: September 2024

Respiratory diseases are a major global health concern. Traditional diagnosis often relies on stethoscopes, a method known as auscultation. However, this approach can be subjective and vary depending on a doctor's experience. Our research addresses this limitation by proposing objective, deep learning-based models for analysing respiratory sounds. These models can be integrated into a telemedicine framework, enabling remote examination and analysis of respiratory sounds for both anomaly detection and disease diagnosis. This offers significant advantages in terms of accessibility and potential for early intervention. Our work introduces two distinct models. The first one is a CNN-LSTM model for anomaly classification. This model combines Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for capturing spatial features and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for analysing temporal patterns within respiratory sounds. It allows for the identification of anomalies like wheezes and crackles. The second model is a multi-feature CNN model for disease detection. This model utilizes a multi-feature CNN architecture to classify respiratory sounds into various disease categories. It extracts multiple features from the audio data (MFCCs, Chroma, Mel Spectrogram) to achieve accurate disease detection. Both models were trained and evaluated using the benchmark ICBHI dataset. Our results are promising, surpassing existing methods in terms of ICBHI scores. Specifically, the CNN-LSTM model achieved a score of 0.83, while the Multi-feature CNN achieved an impressive score of 0.93.

The application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology is increasingly used in newborn screening (NBS) to detect monogenic disorders. However, its capability to identify chromosomal aneuploidies and its potential clinical value have not been fully explored. This study investigates the feasibility of using an NGS panel for aneuploidy screening and examines the incidence of aneuploidies in newborns. We designed an NBS panel targeting 142 genes associated with 128 disorders and conducted chromosomal copy number analysis on 29,601 newborns across eight hospitals in China. The presence of chromosomal aneuploidies was confirmed through karyotyping or genome sequencing, and follow-up visits were conducted to assess prenatal screening outcomes and postnatal phenotypes. Among the 29,601 newborns, 47 were identified with various aneuploidies. Further investigation confirmed 30 of these cases, yielding a positive predictive value (PPV) of 100%. The estimated incidence of aneuploidies among live births was 0.16%, with significant regional discrepancies ranging from 0.04–0.23%. Sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA) was the most prevalent at 0.15%, while trisomy 21 occurred at a lower rate of 0.01%. The NBS panel demonstrated potential effectiveness and accuracy in detecting chromosomal aneuploidies, suggesting it could play a valuable role in future genetic NBS clinical practice.

Published: September 2024

A large-scale conversion of apple orchards into farmland has occurred in the tableland region of the Chinese Loess Plateau due to the aging of apple trees and the increase in pests and diseases. However, the impact of this conversion on soil desiccation recovery and soil nutrient transportation remains unclear, posing a new challenge for sustainable agricultural development in the region. This study aimed to investigate the effects of orchard-to-cropland conversion on deep soil water recharge and residual nitrate dynamics, as well as the key factors driving these changes. The results indicated that within 5 years, the conversion led to a rapid recharge of desiccated deep soil (6-9 m), followed by a stable and slow increase in subsequent years. The annual soil water recovery rate in the deep soil was as high as 5.90 mm·m-1·a-1. While, the increased water input also caused rapid leaching and accumulation of nitrate in the deep soil, with its peak depth increasing significantly from 3.4 m to 7.0 m over time (R2= 0.92). Soil water was identified as the key factor influencing nitrate leaching, with a correlation coefficient of 0.48 (P<0.05). In conclusion, orchard-to-cropland conversion effectively replenished the deep soil water in the short term but also accelerated soil nitrate leaching. Therefore, while large-scale conversion of orchards to farmland is undertaken, it is crucial to acknowledge the trade-off relationship involving the recharge of deep soil water and the subsequent increase in deep nitrogen leaching.

The assessment of a building's orientation, incorporating elements such as the dimensions and layout of openings, as well as shading mechanisms, has perennially been pivotal in scrutinizing energy consumption. This study introduces the importance of achieving a specified illuminance level as a critical factor in ensuring optimal comfort conditions. Utilizing Grasshopper software, a theoretical building in Tehran is simulated, and the analysis is executed through the "Honeybee and Ladybug" plugins, enabling a parametric evaluation of various components. Variables under consideration encompass building orientation (7 scenarios), window-to-wall ratio (3 scenarios), shading depth (3 scenarios), and window form (3 scenarios), all while maintaining a consistent illuminance intensity of 300 lux for comfort assurance. A comparative analysis is performed between baseline energy consumption and all proposed scenarios. In the optimal scenario—characterized by a 30% window-to-wall ratio, a 30-degree rotation angle, a 20 cm shading depth, and Vertical windows—energy consumption exhibits a noteworthy 3.52% reduction compared to the baseline model. Under the most challenging conditions, featuring a 50% window-to-wall ratio, a 35-degree southwest rotation angle, a 60 cm shading depth, and Vertical windows, the optimal results showcase an 11.38% decrease in energy consumption compared to the critical scenario. The hierarchy of impact on energy consumption optimization is identified as follows: window-to-wall ratio, rotation angle, shading depth, and window form. Shading depth and window form exhibit a relatively smaller impact on energy consumption compared to other parameters.

Analysis methods for the GNSS-A seafloor geodetic observation are sophisticated in the recent years. Bayesian statistical approach with the Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method enables the observers to flexibly estimate the seafloor positions simultaneously with the perturbation of the sound speed in the ocean under several spatiotemporal patterns. To select the perturbation model appropriately and quantitatively, we introduced the widely applicable Bayesian Information Criterion (WBIC) in our software. The WBIC value is an approximation of the Bayes free energy that indicates the statistical appropriateness of the given model, which is available after running an MCMC sequence with a certain inverse temperature. Applying the WBIC-based model selection method to the actual data obtained at the seafloor GNSS-A sites along the Japanese archipelago by the Japan Coast Guard, we found that the simpler model where the perturbation field is characterized by a uniformly inclined layer is more preferable than the models with larger degree of freedom, especially in the regions with strong Kuroshio current. For the sites in the area where the cold and warm currents tend to cause multi-scale eddies, the model with larger degree of freedom was occasionally selected.

Homeobox B8 (HOXB8) is a member of the HOX family and plays an important role in colorectal cancer development. Cetuximab is one of the most widely used monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), but cetuximab resistance frequently occurs during targeted therapy. Currently, the role of HOXB8 in cetuximab-resistant mCRC remains unclear. By comparing cetuximab-sensitive cell lines (SW48) with drug-resistant cell lines (HCT116, CACO2), we found that HOXB8 was highly expressed in cetuximab-resistant cell lines, and furthermore, HOXB8 knockdown enhanced the cytotoxicity of cetuximab in drug-resistant cell lines (HCT116, CACO2) by inhibiting signal transducer and activatorof transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. Conversely, HOXB8 overexpression attenuated cetuximab-induced growth inhibition in SW48 cells through activation of STAT3 signaling. In conclusion, our findings reveal an important role for HOXB8 in cetuximab-resistant mCRC and suggest that targeting HOXB8 may be an effective therapeutic strategy for certain cetuximab-resistant mCRC patients.

This study critically examines the reliability and resilience of the Muscat Coastal Highway Network (CHN) under the compounded effects of earthquakes and floods, representing interacting multi-hazard scenarios. The analysis utilized fragility functions for both earthquake-induced and flood-induced landslides, integrating these with traffic data for selected highway links to estimate bridge damage and assess CHN functionality in post-hazard conditions. Economic sensitivity analysis revealed a significant increase in costs due to flood-induced landslides, emphasizing the impact of dominant intensity measures on network costs and traffic flow. The analysis categorized Muscat areas into low, moderate, and high resilience based on hazard susceptibility and infrastructure quality, revealing that over 50% of highway links require retrofitting, highlighting the need for enhanced flood management and infrastructure improvements. The resilience assessment highlighted the necessity for targeted retrofitting to mitigate damage and reduce economic losses, particularly for highway links with bridges of high failure probabilities that face prolonged recovery times. The results offer valuable insights for designers, consultants, policymakers, and decision-makers in developing effective post-hazard mitigation strategies for Muscat and similar coastal cities.

Published: September 2024

Background: Outpatient departments in tertiary children's hospitals in China are often overcrowded, with parents frequently voicing concerns about prolonged waiting times. While substantial efforts have been directed towards reducing actual waiting times (AWT), managing the expectations of parents has received limited attention. This study employs a behavioral experiment to investigate the relationship between expectations and satisfaction levels.
Method: The experiment consisted of two groups: a control group and an experimental group. Initially, the baseline expected waiting times (EWT) for subjects in both groups were obtained, along with demographic information including age, education level, gender, and medical experience. Unlike the control group, subjects in the experimental group received reminders about waiting times and subsequently adjusted their EWT accordingly. This study employed non-parametric tests and variance tests to analyze the differences in satisfaction levels between the two groups of subjects. Ethical approval for this project was obtained from the hospital ethics committee.
Result: Significant differences in satisfaction levels were observed between the control group and the experimental group when the AWT exceeded the EWT (P=0.042, Z=-2.035). However, when the AWT was equal to or shorter than the EWT, no significant disparity in satisfaction levels emerged between the two groups (P=0.230, Z=-1.200; Z=-1.416, P=0.157).
Within the experimental group, a significant difference in satisfaction was noted during peak hours between subjects effectively regulated by EWT and those not effectively regulated (x2=24.865, P=0.000). Conversely, during off-peak hours, there was no significant distinction in satisfaction between those effectively regulated by EWT and those not effectively regulated (x2=0.535, P =0.765).
Conclusion: When the AWT exceeds the EWT, providing advance notice of long waiting time can extend patients EWT and significantly enhance their satisfaction. However, when the AWT is equal to or less than the EWT, the impact of advance notice of long waiting time on patient satisfaction is not statistically significant. During peak visiting hours, when alerts about longer waiting times are issued, patients who effectively adjust their EWT exhibit significantly higher satisfaction levels compared to those who do not make effective adjustments to their EWT. Conversely, during non-peak visiting hours, there is no significant difference in satisfaction levels between subjects who effectively regulate their EWT and those who do not.
Healthcare institutions can adjust patients' EWT by informing them in advance about potential waiting times according to the temporal patterns of outpatient visitation numbers during peak hours. This approach mitigates negative emotions associated with prolonged waiting times and represents one of the effective methods to enhance the quality of medical services.
