Published: February 2023

Objective: Vaccine effectiveness can measure herd immunity, but the effectiveness of inactivated vaccines in Xiamen remains unclear. Our study was designed to understand the herd immunity of the COVID-19 inactivated vaccine against the SARA-CoV-2 Delta variant in the real world of Xiamen. Methods: We carried out a test-negative case-control study to explore the vaccine’s effectiveness. Participants aged over 12 years were recruited. A logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) of the vaccine among cases and controls. Results: This outbreak began with factory transmission clusters, and spread to families and communities during the incubation period. Sixty percent of cases were confirmed in a quarantine site. A huge mass of confirmed cases (94.49%) was identified within three days, and nearly half of them had a low Ct value. Following an adjustment for age and sex, a single dose of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine yielded the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of the overall case, of 57.01% (95% CI: −91.44~86.39%), the fully VE was 65.72% (95% CI: −48.69~88.63%) against COVID-19, 59.45% against moderate COVID-19 and 38.48% against severe COVID-19, respectively. The VE of fully vaccinated individuals was significantly higher in females than in males (73.99% vs. 46.26%). The VE among participants aged 19~40 and 41~61 years was 78.75% and 66.33%, respectively, which exceeds the WHO’s minimal threshold. Nevertheless, the VE in people under 18 and over 60 years was not observed because of the small sample size. Conclusions: The single-dose vaccine had limited effectiveness in preventing infection of the Delta variant. The two doses of inactivated vaccine could effectively prevent infection, and clinical mild, moderate, and severe illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant in people aged 18–60 years in the real world.

Published: February 2023

Currently, the best method to well control the spread of COVID-19 without severe mental health problems is to reach herd immunity. Therefore, the vaccination rate of the COVID-19 vaccine is critical. Among the populations, children are the vulnerable ones to get vaccinated; therefore, it is important to assess parents’ and guardians’ willingness to have their children vaccinated. The present systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized evidence to estimate the parents’ acceptance rate of COVID-19 vaccination toward their children. Additionally, factors explaining the acceptance rate were investigated. Four academic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest) together with Google Scholar were searched, and the references of the included publications were searched as well. Using the PECO-S framework (population, exposure, comparison, outcome, and study design), observational studies of cross-sectional, cohort, or case-control studies were included. The outcome was parents’ or guardians’ willingness to let their children be vaccinated. The studies included in the present review were restricted to English and peer-reviewed papers published between December 2019 and July 2022. A total of 98 papers across 69 different countries with 413,590 participants were included. The mean age of the parents was 39.10 (range: 18–70) years and that of their children was 8.45 (range: 0–18) years. The pooled estimated prevalence of parental acceptance to vaccinate their children with the COVID-19 vaccine was 57% (98 studies, 95% CI: 52–62%, I2: 99.92%, τ2: 0.06). Moreover, data collection time was a significant factor explaining parental willingness in the multivariable meta-regression, with a 13% decrease in parental willingness by each month increase in time, explaining 11.44% of variance. Qualitative synthesis results showed that parents’ COVID-19 vaccine knowledge, trust in theCOVID-19 vaccine, and facilitators in vaccination (e.g., low cost, good vaccine accessibility, and government incentive) were significant factors for higher willingness, while mental health problems (e.g., having worries and psychological distress) were significant factors for lower willingness. Given that the acceptance rate was relatively low (57%) and does not achieve the requirement of herd immunity (i.e., 70%), governments and healthcare authorities should try to elevate parents’ knowledge and trust in the COVID-19 vaccine, facilitate in vaccination, and reduce their mental difficulties to improve the overall vaccination rate among children.

SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections, associated with waning immunity, increase systemic antibody levels. In this study, we analyzed the impact of the infection timing on the magnitude of the systemic humoral response and whether breakthrough infections also boost antibody levels in the salivary compartment. We observed that the combination of infection plus vaccination, regardless of infection timing, produced a sharp increase in systemic antibodies, which were higher in subjects infected after third doses. Moreover, despite high systemic antibody levels, breakthrough infections after dose three occurred and boosted antibody levels in the salivary compartment. These results suggest that current vaccination strategies against COVID-19 should be improved. Results also showed that determination of salivary antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 could be a valuable tool in disease prevalence studies, for the follow-up of vaccinated individuals, and to assist vaccination strategies against COVID-19, especially in settings where blood sampling cannot be fulfilled.
Comparing Multivariate with Wealth-Based Inequity in Vaccination Coverage in 56 Countries: Toward a Better Measure of Equity in Vaccination Coverage
Authors: Patenaude Bryan N. , Sriudomporn Salin , Odihi Deborah , Mak Joshua , de Broucker Gatien
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Following a call from the World Health Organization in 2017 for a methodology to monitor immunization coverage equity in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this study applies the Vaccine Economics Research for Sustainability and Equity (VERSE) vaccination equity toolkit to measure national-level inequity in immunization coverage using a multidimensional ranking procedure and compares this with traditional wealth-quintile based ranking methods for assessing inequity. The analysis covers 56 countries with a most recent Demographic & Health Survey (DHS) between 2010 and 2022. The vaccines examined include Bacillus Calmette–Guerin (BCG), Diphtheria–Tetanus–Pertussis-containing vaccine doses 1 through 3 (DTP1–3), polio vaccine doses 1–3 (Polio1–3), the measles-containing vaccine first dose (MCV1), and an indicator for being fully immunized for age with each of these vaccines. Materials & Methods: The VERSE equity toolkit is applied to 56 DHS surveys to rank individuals by multiple disadvantages in vaccination coverage, incorporating place of residence (urban/rural), geographic region, maternal education, household wealth, sex of the child, and health insurance coverage. This rank is used to estimate a concentration index and absolute equity coverage gap (AEG) between the top and bottom quintiles, ranked by multiple disadvantages. The multivariate concentration index and AEG are then compared with traditional concentration index and AEG measures, which use household wealth as the sole criterion for ranking individuals and determining quintiles. Results: We find significant differences between the two sets of measures in almost all settings. For fully-immunized for age status, the inequities captured using the multivariate metric are between 32% and 324% larger than what would be captured examining inequities using traditional metrics. This results in a missed coverage gap of between 1.1 and 46.4 percentage points between the most and least advantaged. Conclusions: The VERSE equity toolkit demonstrated that wealth-based inequity measures systematically underestimate the gap between the most and least advantaged in fully-immunized for age coverage, correlated with maternal education, geography, and sex by 1.1–46.4 percentage points, globally. Closing the coverage gap between the bottom and top wealth quintiles is unlikely to eliminate persistent socio-demographic inequities in either coverage or access to vaccines. The results suggest that pro-poor interventions and programs utilizing needs-based targeting, which reflects poverty only, should expand their targeting criteria to include other dimensions to reduce systemic inequalities, holistically. Additionally, a multivariate metric should be considered when setting targets and measuring progress toward reducing inequities in healthcare coverage.
Water Quality Modeling in Headwater Catchments: Comprehensive Data Assessment, Model Development and Simulation of Scenarios
Authors: Fernandez Nicolas , Camacho Luis A.
Published: February 2023

Water quality is a major concern globally and in headwater catchments of developing countries it is often poorly managed. In these catchments, having scarce and heterogeneous information hinders the development of water quality assessments and predictive models to support management. To address this issue, the authors propose a framework of three stages that allows for: (i) conducting a comprehensive assessment of water quality; (ii) the development of a mountain stream water quality model based on said assessment; and (iii) the simulation of scenarios with the model to resolve conflicts between uses and quality of water. The framework involves multivariate analyses of principal components and clusters and follows a novel modeling protocol mainly designed for mountainous streams in developing countries. Applied to an Andean catchment in Colombia, the first stage of the framework revealed the catchment’s most significant water quality constituents and the most polluted season. The problematic constituents in this catchment include pathogens, nutrients, organic matter, and metals such as the highly toxic Cr and Pb, while water pollution is the highest during the driest months of the year (i.e., January to March). In the second stage, the model was calibrated reproducing the concentrations of pathogens, organic matter, and most nutrients, and showed a predictive capacity. This capacity was measured with an objective function to be minimized based on a normalized root mean square error. It increased only 14% when verified with a different dataset. In addition, during the third stage of the proposed framework, the simulation of alternative scenarios showed that centralized treatment is not sufficient to make water safe for potabilization and agriculture in the catchment. For this reason, improving water quality in the sub-basins at the highest altitudes is required. The proposed framework can be applied in other headwater catchments where information is limited, and where an improved management of water quality is needed.
Analysis of Large-Scale Groundwater-Driven Cooling Zones in Rivers Using Thermal Infrared Imagery and Radon Measurements

Published: February 2023

The role of groundwater (GW) discharge on surface water (SW) quantity, quality and temperature is known to be important. Moreover, the effect of GW contributions to river thermal budgets is critical in natural rivers considering that water temperature plays a vital role in fish survival during extreme heat events. The identification of zones with GW input in rivers can, thus, help river management plans. However, detecting these zones at the watershed scale can be a challenge. This work combines thermal infrared (TIR) imagery of rivers and water sampling for radon measurements for better documentation of GW in rivers. The Sainte-Marguerite and Berard Rivers, both located in Quebec, Canada, are known for their abundance of salmonids. Their water temperature profiles were plotted using TIR imagery, and five cooling zones in the Berard River and two for the Sainte-Marguerite River were identified in which notable GW–SW exchange was the suspected cause. Radon concentrations measured within the cooling zones showed clear GW contribution to SW. TIR imagery is an effective and fast way to identify GW seepage at the watershed scale. Radon can be used as a complementary natural tracer of GW in rivers at finer scales. The combination of both methods was shown to be reliable for the identification of GW in rivers. This can help for a better anticipation of GW effects in management plans to deal with extreme heat waves that are predicted to occur more frequently under future climate change scenarios.

Die Illusion der Berufswahl. Zur Passung von Habitus und Feld bei Lehramtsstudierenden
Authors: Holzmayer Michael
Published: February 2023

Menschen wollen Lehrer:innen werden, weil sie gerne mit Kindern arbeiten möchten!? Abseits von rationalen Gründen steht in der vorliegenden Studie die Hinterbühne der Berufswahl im Zentrum. Pierre Bourdieus Konzepte von Habitus, Feld und deren kulturelle Passung sind dabei leitend. Mit Hilfe der an Bourdieu anschließenden Methode der Sequenzanalytischen Habitusrekonstruktion wird der Habitus von Studierenden im Lehramt Primarstufe sichtbar. Ebenso kommen dabei ihr Berufsbild und das antizipierte Lehrer:innenhandeln zum Vorschein. Erkennbar wird dadurch eine notwendige doppelte Passung im Berufswahlprozess: einer Passung zur Anforderungslogik des Herkunftsfeldes als auch zur Anforderungslogik des angestrebten beruflichen Feldes. Damit wird die Berufswahlforschung in ein neues Licht gerückt.

Published: February 2023

Kentlerimizde her geçen gün gri altyapılar artmakta yeşil altyapı ögeleri azalmaktadır. Dünya Sağlık Örgütünün 21 yy. salgını olarak listelediği stresi minimize edebilmek için kentsel açık yeşil alan tasarımlarına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Avlu tasarımları kentsel peyzaj tasarım kapsamında bina düzeyinde düzenlenen yeşil alanlardan biridir. Bu alanlar kentsel hareketliliğe durağanlık katan bazen de durağanlığı harekete geçiren mekanlara sahip olabilir. Bu çalışmada bireylerin yapı kütleleri arasında sıkışıp kalmayacağı, doğayla temas kurabileceği bir yaşam mekânı olarak avlu peyzaj tasarımı süreci değerlendirilmiştir. 25 öğrenci ile yürütülen bu peyzaj tasarım sürecinde, başarılı olan farklı konsept (alış-veriş avlusu, birkaç konut avlusu, spor kulübü, butik otel avlusu, eğitim yapısı avlusu) 5 örnek çalışma kapsamında değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin mekân örgütlemelerini ortaya koyarken kullandığı temel tasarım ögeleri ve ilkeleri tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin mekân kurguları oluştururken en fazla kullandıkları ögenin renk olduğu, ilkenin ise egemenlik - birlik - denge üçlüsü olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada üretilen tasarım ürünlerinin peyzaj mimarlığı öğrencileri için bir referans olacağı düşünülmektedir. Kentsel alanlarda insan-doğa ilişkisinin sürdürülebilmesi için etkili tasarım yaklaşımlarından biri olan biyofilik tasarım yaklaşımının benimsenmesi önem arz etmektedir. Avlular gibi kentsel peyzajın küçük mozaiklerinde bile yeşil ve mavi altyapı ögelerine yer verilerek hem kentsel ekosisteme katkı sağlanabilir hem de kentlilere fiziksel ve psikolojik açıdan daha yaşanabilir, stresin mininize edildiği ve refahı arttıran mekân kurguları ortaya çıkarılabilir.
Suboxide vapor phase epitaxy for growth of high-purity gallium oxide
Authors: Thieu Quang Tu , Sasaki Kohei , Kuramata Akito
Published: February 2023

We propose using gallium suboxide, Ga2O, as a Ga source for the growth of high-purity Ga2O3 by vapor phase epitaxy. It is shown in a thermochemical analysis that the suboxide can be generated effectively in the reaction between Ga2O3 and Ga and subsequently be utilized for the epitaxial growth of Ga2O3. A demonstration of Ga2O3 crystal growth was carried out on β-Ga2O3 (001) substrates with Ga2O and O2 used as the gaseous precursors, resulting in high-purity epitaxial layers. No possible donor impurities from the sources or growth environment, such as Si or Sn, were detected in the grown layers.
Investigation of growth dynamics of β-Ga2O3 LPCVD by independently controlling Ga precursor and substrate temperature

Published: February 2023

We present results on low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) of β-Ga2O3 on a c-sapphire substrate with independent control of Ga precursor (T
P) and substrate (T
SUB) temperatures, allowing independent tuning of the Ga flux and thermal energy of the adatoms on the substrate surface. Experiments with constant T
P = 900 °C with varying T
SUB (600 °C–1050 °C) and varying T
P (800 °C–1000 °C) with constant T
SUB = 900 °C are reported. Island/nanorod formation on top of β-Ga2O3 thin film was observed at T
SUB = 600–750 °C, suggesting the Stranski–Krastanov mode of growth, while thin film growth was observed for T
SUB = 825–1050 °C. The growth rate decreased at higher T
SUB, whereas it increased sharply for T
P = 800–850 °C followed by a quasi-saturation for T
P = 800–1000 °C. The growth rate evolution in both experiments reveals the significant role of gallium suboxide formation and desorption at the precursor/film during β-Ga2O3 LPCVD. This study provides useful insights into the growth dynamics involved in LPCVD of β-Ga2O3.

Published: February 2023

We developed fabrication and bonding technology of superconductive bump for massive quantum computing. A bonded test vehicle demonstrates supercurrent through 90 000 series daisy-chain. Proposed bump consists of lead-indium alloy. The bumps land onto gold pad on the opposite chip and alloy with the gold pad for supercurrent. The primary advantage of the proposed bump is the minimized damage to the quantum chip. Plasma cleaning process which may degrade sensitive components is only required for bump chips and not for quantum chips. Lower bonding temperature of 100 degrees Celsius  for the proposed bump also keeps sensitive components away from degradation in high temperature.

In present work, we studied the effect of substitution of silica nanoparticles (SNPs), by replacement of cement on ultrasound pulse velocity and compressive strength of concrete specimens. We also obtained correlation between ultrasound pulse velocity (UPV) and the compressive strength. The mean particle size of silica nano-particle was 20nm. The quality of concrete specimen was assessed by measuring ultrasound pulse velocity (UPV) in m/s and compressive strength (N/mm2). The average value of UPV on 7th day of curing turned out to become 3200 ± 36, 3215 ± 42, 3290 ± 41, 3349 ± 24, 3450±17 and 3456 ± 12 for 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% and 2.5% content of SNPs in the specimens respectively. Similarly, the average value of UPV on 28th day was 3540 ± 36, 3580 ± 38, 3696 ± 42, 3820 ± 39, 4160 ± 40, 4163 ± 41 for same amount of substitution of SNPs respectively. It had been observed that the UPV was higher in the specimens replaced by silica nano-particles (by weight of cement) and it achieved maximum strength at nearly 2% (that is in between 2.0-2.5%). The average compressive strength on 7th day was 25, 25, 27.6, 30, 32.4 and 32 N/mm2, but, on 28th day the it increased up to 38, 38.5, 40, 42, 48.5 and 48.8 N/mm2 for the same content of silica nanoparticles ( 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% and 2.5%) respectively. As UPV increased so did the compressive strength. We observed strong correlation (correlation coefficient 0.997) between USV and compressive strength and variance (R2 = 0.87), which meant 87% of variation of compressive strength could be explained by variation of USV for the specimens (which acquired its compressive strength) on 28th day. Compressive strength and USV increased due to hydration reaction leading to C-S-H (Calcium-Silicate-hydrate) gel formation which filled the pores in the concrete matrix. The compressive strength of concrete significantly increased with content of silica nano-particles within the selected range of content (1.5-2.5%), but there is limitation probably due to agglomeration of nanoparticles, which destroyed the salient features nano-particles.

Features of the Spectra of Medium-Molecular Peptides of the Liver with Protein-Deficient Nutrition
Authors: ASKEROV Fakhraddin , ÇAKMAK Gamze , KARADAĞ Hüseyin
Published: February 2023

With this study, the determination of three spectra of medium molecular peptides (SMP) in liver tissue can provide a basis for ideas about the relationship between exogenous and endogenous proteins, the degree of damage to nucleotides and proteins, and enable certain judgments to be made. The work was carried out on 45 outbred white rats against the background of full-fledged protein-vitamin nutrition and under conditions of 60% protein deficiency in the diet. The experimental animals were divided into 3 groups, 15 rats in each group. The first group (Group I) of rats in all subgroups served as controls, kept in a vivarium; rats of the 2nd group (Group II) received a complete protein-vitamin diet; Group III received the same diet, but with a 60% protein (casein) deficiency in the diet. Experimental animals of groups II and III received food for 20, 30 and 40 days. The results of studies on the background of a monthly feeding of animals with a protein-vitamin complex with a deficiency of 60% protein in the recipe showed that the content of medium molecular peptides (MMP) fractions at a wavelength of 230 nm significantly increases compared with the control group and is 124%. The results of these studies indicate that 40-day feeding of animals with a full-fledged protein-vitamin diet and 60% protein deficiency causes significant changes in the MMP content at 254 and 280nm wavelengths, and in the MMP subfractions at 230nm wavelength, there is a moderate increase in the MMP subfractions, which is possibly due to the peculiarities of the substitution of the genetic apparatus of hepatocytes.

Objetivo: analisar a percepção da vivência das sexualidades no processo de envelhecimento da população idosa LGBTQIAP+ na grande ilha de São Luís - MA. Método: empírico e qualitativo com amostra por conveniência. Resultados: os participantes possuem de 60 a 65 anos; sete se declararam cisgêneros e um não binário, todos homossexuais solteiros. A percepção da vivência das sexualidades se apresenta de forma subjetiva e se mostra através da construção da identidade, autoconhecimento e maturidade, assim como as características do processo de envelhecimento, comportamento sexual e os preconceitos e estigmas. Conclusão: A sexualidade se desenvolve a partir da construção da identidade e do autoconhecimento dos sujeitos. É influenciada pelo contexto social, pela dinâmica familiar e por outros aspectos que permeiam o processo de subjetividade do ser humano. Observou-se que é possível estabelecer vivências positivas no envelhecimento, vivências essas que contrariam os estigmas e preconceitos que as pessoas idosas estão inseridas.

There is an increasing need for musical aspirants to have access to cheaper musical instruments. This study explores the opportunities to utilize image recognition algorithms via OpenCV to port this technology into readily available modern devices, which will enable inexpensive yet authentic methods of playing a piano. Through OpenCV and Pygame libraries, one can set up a rigid camera that will trace the player’s fingers. The fingers if they cross or hover over a specific coordinate of a key, the piano note (.wav file) will be played by Pygame’s mixer module. This simple yet inexpensive option might help first-time musical aspirants experience music in an affordable and accessible way. Furthermore, this article explores the future scope of accommodating other musical instruments.

Published: February 2023

An efficient and punctual monitoring of air pollutants is very useful to evaluate and prevent possible threats to human beings’ health. Especially in areas where such pollutants are highly concentrated, an accurate collection of data could suggest mitigation actions to be implemented. Moreover, a well-performed data collection could also permit the forecast of future scenarios, in relation to the seasonality of the phenomenon. With a particular focus on COVID pandemic period, several literature works demonstrated a decreasing of pollutant concentrations in air of urban areas, mainly for NOx, while CO and PM10, on the opposite, has been observed to remain still, mainly because of the intensive usage of heating systems by the people forced to stay home (on specific regions). With the present contribution the authors here present an application of Time Series analysis (TSA) approach to pollutants concentration data of two Italian cities during first lockdown (9 march – 18 may 2020), demonstrating the possibility to predict pollutants concentration over time.

The article proposes a neural network-based Kohonen's self-organized maps cluster analysis of Ukraine’s health care system at regional level. At analysis, economic patterns and social determinants of health are considered. The research aims to estimate regional security at the public health level. For that, behavioral and social patterns determine a regions’ potential resistance to public health risks. The authors identify the strengths and weaknesses of each region and assess the effectiveness of health care as it is provided. Interestingly, the clustering algorithm fits multidimensional space design into spaces with a lower dimension. Additionally, similar vectors in the source space appear closely on the resulting map. The algorithm design, stages of evaluation, and input groups of indicators by components are described. The data set reflects the 22 regions of Ukraine. The rationing of indicators is calculated to make the data comparable. Data are checked for quality, sparsity, duplicates, and inconsistencies. Five clusters are generated based on development of patterns within regions as well as the information value of healthcare-related socio-economic indicators. The residents of regions that belong to the first cluster systematically assess their health. Demographically, these residents are more physically active compared with residents in clusters of other regions. Findings also indicate that residents in the first cluster monitor their nutrition. The second cluster is informative on residents’ behavioral components. In the third cluster are grouped regions with financially secure residents. The fourth cluster includes leader regions. The fifth cluster includes outsider regions. The proposed model can easily fit to new data, to identify new patterns and to graphically represent new results. The model can also analyze computationally complex approach based on a complete set of multidirectional indicators relating to the country's medical system at a state of risk. Moreover, this cluster-based approach can identify areas that require increased attention by state public health agencies.
