Waterfowl are considered to be natural reservoirs of the avian influenza virus (AIV). However, the dynamics of transmission and evolutionary patterns of AIV and its subtypes within duck farms in Bangladesh remain poorly documented. Hence, a cross-sectional study was conducted in nine districts of Bangladesh between 2019 and 2021, to determine the prevalence of AIV and its subtypes H5 and H9, as well as to identify risk factors and the phylodynamics of H5N1 clades circulating in domestic duck farms. The oropharyngeal and cloacal swab samples were tested for the AIV Matrix gene (M-gene) followed by H5, H7, and H9 subtypes using rRT-PCR. The exploratory analysis was performed to estimate AIV and its subtype prevalence in different production systems, and multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify the risk factors that influence AIV infection in ducks. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis was conducted to generate a maximum clade credibility (MCC) tree and the maximum likelihood method to determine the phylogenetic relationships of the H5N1 viruses isolated from ducks. AIV was detected in 40% (95% CI: 33.0–48.1) of the duck farms. The prevalence of AIV was highest in nomadic ducks (39.8%; 95% CI: 32.9–47.1), followed by commercial ducks (24.6%; 95% CI: 14.5–37.3) and backyard ducks (14.4%; 95% CI: 10.5–19.2). The H5 prevalence was also highest in nomadic ducks (19.4%; 95% CI: 14.0–25.7). The multivariable logistic regression model revealed that ducks from nomadic farms (AOR: 2.4; 95% CI: 1.45–3.93), juvenile (AOR: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.37–3.61), and sick ducks (AOR: 11.59; 95% CI: 4.82–32.44) had a higher risk of AIV. Similarly, the likelihood of H5 detection was higher in sick ducks (AOR: 40.8; 95% CI: 16.3–115.3). Bayesian phylogenetic analysis revealed that H5N1 viruses in ducks belong to two distinct clades, 2.3.2.1a, and 2.3.4.4b. The clade 2.3.2.1a (reassorted) has been evolving silently since 2015 and forming at least nine subgroups based on >90% posterior probability. Notably, clade 2.3.4.4b was introduced in ducks in Bangladesh by the end of the year 2020, which was genetically similar to viruses detected in wild birds in Japan, China, and Africa, indicating migration-associated transmission of an emerging panzootic clade. We recommend continuing AIV surveillance in the duck production system and preventing the intermingling of domestic ducks with migratory waterfowl in wetlands.
Is Fragmented Cancer Care Associated With Medical Expenditure? Nationwide Evidence From Patients With Lung Cancer Using National Insurance Claim Data
Authors: Han Kyu-Tae , Kim Sun Jung
Published: July 2023

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between fragmented cancer care in the early phase after cancer diagnosis and patient outcomes using national insurance claim data.

Methods: We identified National Health Insurance beneficiaries diagnosed with lung cancer in South Korea from 2010 to 2014. We included 1,364 lung cancer patients with reduced immortal time bias and heterogeneity. We performed multiple regression analysis using a generalized estimate equation with a gamma distribution for medical expenditures.

Results: Among the 1,364 patients with lung cancer, 12.8% had fragmented cancer care. Healthcare costs were higher in fragmented cancer care for both during diagnosis to 365 days and diagnosis to 1,825 days. Linear regression results showed that fragmented cancer care was associated with 1.162 times higher costs during the period from diagnosis to 365 days and 1.163 times the cost for the period from diagnosis to 1,825 days.

Conclusion: We found fragmented cancer care is associated with higher medical expenditure. Future health policy should consider the limitation of patients’ free will when opting for fragmented cancer care, as there are currently no control mechanisms.
Phase Mask Design Based on an Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Depth of Field Extension
Authors: Huang Zeyu , Li Fei , Zhu Lina , Ye Guo , Zhao Tingyu
Published: July 2023

Phase mask optimization is one of the critical steps in designing a wavefront coding system to extend the depth of field (DoF). As a classical phase mask, a cubic phase mask was taken as an example. An improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was applied to calculate the parameters of the cubic phase mask by introducing the modulation transfer function as the optimization criterion and a threshold as a constraint. The quality of the subsequent image restoration is guaranteed on the premise of the extended DoF. Finally, the improved PSO was proved to be faster, more efficient, and more accurate compared to the simulated annealing algorithm and the traditional PSO. The experimental results verify that the cubic phase mask optimized by the improved PSO can achieve DoF extension in the wavefront coding system. The improved PSO can also be applied to other phase masks of wavefront coding systems.
Numerical Simulation Analysis of Wellbore Stability in Weak Interlayer of Igneous Rock
Authors: Su Dongyu , Chen Zhifang , Liu Nanxiang , Chen Xuyue
Published: July 2023

Wellbores drilled in igneous formation with weak interlayers face significant risk of instabilities. This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms of these instabilities by employing a combination of rock mechanics tests and numerical simulation techniques. The mechanical properties of igneous rocks are evaluated to determine core strength parameters and analyze the impact of drilling fluid immersion on core strength. The two-dimensional model of the igneous formation is refined, and theoretical derivations are made, including the linear elasticity principal equation and the extent of the plastic zone within the wellbore. A numerical simulation model is developed using ABAQUS to analyze the wellbore stability of the weak interlayer igneous formation, accounting for drilling fluid immersion and weak interlayer conditions. The numerical simulations focus on four key aspects of the weak interlayer formation: strength, permeability, horizontal in-situ stress anisotropy, and abnormal pore pressure. The study findings indicate that strengthening the weak interlayer effectively mitigates the risk of wellbore instability. Moreover, the permeability of the weak interlayer exhibits minimal impact on wellbore stability within the formation. However, an increase in horizontal in-situ stress anisotropy and the abnormal pore pressure both decrease wellbore stability along the direction of the maximum in-situ stress.
The Effect of Antibiotic Treatment and Gene Expression of Mex B Efflux Transporters on the Resistance in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Biofilms

Published: July 2023

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, holds a prominent position as an antibiotic-resistant priority pathogen, according to the World Health Organization. Particularly prevalent in healthcare settings, this bacterium acts as an opportunistic pathogen, causing nosocomial infections. The significant antibiotic resistance observed in P. aeruginosa is multifactorial, encompassing intrinsic, acquired, and adaptive resistance mechanisms. The present study aims to explore specific RND-type efflux pump genes implicated in the acquisition of antibiotic resistances during the transition of P. aeruginosa PAO1 from its planktonic state to the more formidable and resistant biofilm form. This investigation is centered on MexB, a prominent RND-type efflux pump in P. aeruginosa. Our research is focused on MexB, a highly significant component characterized by its broad substrate specificity, primary function as the primary efflux pump, substantial expression levels, and notable clinical implications. Considering MexB’s critical role in expelling various clinically relevant antimicrobial agents and its significant contribution to multidrug resistance, our study aims to evaluate the comparative efficacy of three distinct antibiotic categories, namely, Ofloxacin (OFX), Tobramycin (TOB), and Ceftazidime (CAZ), in regulating the expression levels of identified multidrug efflux pump genes associated with the biofilm’s ability to remove antibiotics from bacterial cells. Expression analysis of efflux transporter genes in P. aeruginosa was performed by isolating total RNA from both planktonic and biofilm samples, both untreated and treated with Tobramycin (TOB), Ofloxacin (OFX), and Ceftazidime (CAZ). Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR was employed to investigate changes in the expression levels of MexA, MexB, MexX, MexY, OprM, and RPSL genes in the collected samples. In the absence of antibiotic treatment, the MexB efflux pump gene exhibited higher expression compared to other efflux pump genes in the biofilm’s state, supporting its involvement in multidrug resistance when active. To further explore the role of the MexB gene in antibiotic resistance, P. aeruginosa was cultured in both planktonic and biofilm forms while simultaneously treating them with TOB, OFX, and CAZ. Among the three antibiotics employed, OFX demonstrated superior efficacy in inhibiting the growth of biofilms by downregulating the expression of the Mex B efflux pump gene in P. aeruginosa, thereby enhancing its susceptibility to OFX. TOB yielded comparable outcomes to OFX, albeit with a slightly lesser extent of Mex B expression reduction. Conversely, CAZ exhibited ineffectiveness in reducing MexB gene expression in both biofilm and planktonic forms of the organism, rendering it incapable of eradicating the pathogen.
An Overview of Selected Bacterial Infections in Cancer, Their Virulence Factors, and Some Aspects of Infection Management

Published: July 2023

In cancer development and its clinical course, bacteria can be involved in etiology and secondary infection. Regarding etiology, various epidemiological studies have revealed that Helicobacter pylori can directly impact gastric carcinogenesis. The Helicobacter pylori-associated virulence factor cytotoxin-associated gene A perhaps plays an important role through different mechanisms such as aberrant DNA methylation, activation of nuclear factor kappa B, and modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Many other bacteria, including Salmonella and Pseudomonas, can also affect Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Although Helicobacter pylori is involved in both gastric adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, its role in the latter disease is more complicated. Among other bacterial species, Chlamydia is linked with a diverse range of diseases including cancers of different sites. The cellular organizations of Chlamydia are highly complex. Interestingly, Escherichia coli is believed to be associated with colon cancer development. Microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are frequently isolated from secondary infections in cancer patients. In these patients, the common sites of infection are the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary tracts. There is an alarming rise in infections with multidrug-resistant bacteria and the scarcity of suitable antimicrobial agents adversely influences prognosis. Therefore, effective implementation of antimicrobial stewardship strategies is important in cancer patients.

The Use of Natural Bioactive Nutraceuticals in the Management of Tick-Borne Illnesses
Authors: Shor Samuel M. , Schweig Sunjya K.
Published: July 2023

The primary objective of this paper is to provide an evidence-based update of the literature on the use of bioactive phytochemicals, nutraceuticals, and micronutrients (dietary supplements that provide health benefits beyond their nutritional value) in the management of persistent cases of Borrelia burgdorferi infection (Lyme disease) and two other tick-borne pathogens, Babesia and Bartonella species. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of the pathophysiology and mechanisms of persistent infections. These advances have increasingly enabled clinicians and patients to utilize a wider set of options to manage these frequently disabling conditions. This broader toolkit holds the promise of simultaneously improving treatment outcomes and helping to decrease our reliance on the long-term use of pharmaceutical antimicrobials and antibiotics in the treatment of tick-borne pathogens such as Borrelia burgdorferi, Babesia, and Bartonella.
Direct Optical Patterning of Quantum Dots: One Strategy, Different Chemical Processes
Authors: Antolini Francesco
Published: July 2023

Patterning, stability, and dispersion of the semiconductor quantum dots (scQDs) are three issues strictly interconnected for successful device manufacturing. Recently, several authors adopted direct optical patterning (DOP) as a step forward in photolithography to position the scQDs in a selected area. However, the chemistry behind the stability, dispersion, and patterning has to be carefully integrated to obtain a functional commercial device. This review describes different chemical strategies suitable to stabilize the scQDs both at a single level and as an ensemble. Special attention is paid to those strategies compatible with direct optical patterning (DOP). With the same purpose, the scQDs’ dispersion in a matrix was described in terms of the scQD surface ligands’ interactions with the matrix itself. The chemical processes behind the DOP are illustrated and discussed for five different approaches, all together considering stability, dispersion, and the patterning itself of the scQDs.
Field Dynamic Balancing for Magnetically Suspended Turbomolecular Pump
Authors: Chen Qi , Li Jinlei
Published: July 2023

A field dynamic balancer is crucial to the applications of magnetically suspended turbomolecular pumps. Therefore, this paper presents a novel field dynamic balancing method based on autocentering control mode without any additional instrumentation. Firstly, the dynamics of the active magnetic bearing rotor system with unbalance are modeled. Through model analysis, it was found that making the rotor rotate around the geometric axis can improve the accuracy of dynamic balancing. Secondly, the relationship between the correcting masses and the synchronous currents based on the influence coefficient method is established. Then, an autocentering controller is designed to make the rotor rotate around the geometric axis. The synchronous currents can be detected and extracted by the current transducers to calculate the unbalance correction mass. Finally, the experimental results show that this novel field dynamic balancing method can effectively eliminate the majority of rotor unbalance. Compared with the original unbalance of a rotor, the synchronous current in the A-end has been reduced by 71.4% and the synchronous current in the B-end, by 90.8% with the proposed method.
A Probabilistic Digital Twin for Leak Localization in Water Distribution Networks Using Generative Deep Learning

Published: July 2023

Localizing leakages in large water distribution systems is an important and ever-present problem. Due to the complexity originating from water pipeline networks, too few sensors, and noisy measurements, this is a highly challenging problem to solve. In this work, we present a methodology based on generative deep learning and Bayesian inference for leak localization with uncertainty quantification. A generative model, utilizing deep neural networks, serves as a probabilistic surrogate model that replaces the full equations, while at the same time also incorporating the uncertainty inherent in such models. By embedding this surrogate model into a Bayesian inference scheme, leaks are located by combining sensor observations with a model output approximating the true posterior distribution for possible leak locations. We show that our methodology enables producing fast, accurate, and trustworthy results. It showed a convincing performance on three problems with increasing complexity. For a simple test case, the Hanoi network, the average topological distance (ATD) between the predicted and true leak location ranged from 0.3 to 3 with a varying number of sensors and level of measurement noise. For two more complex test cases, the ATD ranged from 0.75 to 4 and from 1.5 to 10, respectively. Furthermore, accuracies upwards of 83%, 72%, and 42% were achieved for the three test cases, respectively. The computation times ranged from 0.1 to 13 s, depending on the size of the neural network employed. This work serves as an example of a digital twin for a sophisticated application of advanced mathematical and deep learning techniques in the area of leak detection.
An Improved Understanding of Natural Hazards and Disasters through the Use of Satellite Technologies: Contributions from UN-SPIDER
Authors: Villagran de Leon Juan Carlos
Published: July 2023

This communication informs on how the UN-SPIDER program of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs contributes to the efforts of the United Nations’ system to mobilize international cooperation to mitigate the risks related to natural hazards, to coordinate disaster relief efforts, and to facilitate the links between disaster response and recovery. This communication presents information on how UN-SPIDER shapes its advisory support to developing countries to contribute to the institutionalization of the use of space-based data, information, products, and services by government agencies in charge of disaster management. It does so by providing examples of step-by-step procedures developed using open software and open satellite imagery; information regarding some of the efforts carried out by the program to facilitate access to space-based information provided by mechanisms established by the space community to support disaster response efforts worldwide; and information on its advisory support to developing countries, including training efforts. Lastly, this paper shows that the approach implemented by UN-SPIDER is allowing national disaster management agencies and other government agencies and ministries to institutionalize the use of space-based data, information, products, and services.

Published: July 2023

Municipal solid waste management is crucial in terms of the environment, sustainability and the circular economy. The directly landfilled organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) offers a lot of potential with regard to energy recovery or as a soil substrate. In this study, the regional differences in Hungary according to various living structures and conditions (villages and urban areas) were demonstrated to provide a foundation for further usage or treatment. The fact that the biological fraction (leaves, kitchen waste and fine soil-like material) of OFMSW from typically urban areas like the examined city of Pécs is larger than in a rural area, e.g. Marcali District, was highlighted. On the other hand, the OFMSW from rural areas contains more hazardous materials such as medicinal ampoules due to the lack of possibilities to dispose of them suitably. After evaluating the composition of the OFMSW, the directly landfilled quantity of MSW could be further reduced. In conclusion, according to the high proportions of plastic and paper as well as its promising heating value, the largest particle size fraction (>4 cm) could be utilized as refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and the finer, organic material-rich fraction as a soil substitute following further purification.

Published: July 2023

The objectives of this study were: i) to report overall mean AMH serum concentrations in queens, ii) to determine relationship between serum AMH concentration with estradiol level, iii) to investigate the relationship between serum AMH with follicular phase and interestrus phase of the estrous cycle, iv) to discuss the usability of AMH as a biomarker to diagnosis of ovarian remnant syndrome in breeding season in queens. In the study, 64 healthy queens referred to clinics for routine ovariohysterectomy were used. After anamnesis, vaginal cytology, macroscopic examination of the uterus and ovaries and estradiol measurement, queens were divided into two groups: follicular phase (n: 45) and interestrus (n: 19). Estradiol and AMH levels in serum samples were determined by ELISA. In the evaluation of serum AMH concentrations, a statistical difference was determined between the follicular phase and interestrus (P˂0.05). A negative correlation was found between age and estradiol in both follicular phase (r = -0.171) and interestrus (r = -0.385) groups. A positive correlation was found between age and AMH in the interestrus (P˂0.01, r = 0.696). Serum AMH levels in the interestrus were found to be significantly higher than follicular phase (P˂0.05). It was thought that this increase in serum AMH levels during the interestrus period, which is the stage where oocytes were selected for ovulation, may be an indicator of the role of AMH in oocyte selection in queens, as in many other mammalian species.

Analisis Struktur Rumah Susun 3 Lantai di Desa Margamekar Kecamatan Pangalengan Kabupaten Bandung
Authors: Roesdiana Tira
Published: July 2023

Pertumbuhan penduduk beberapa tahun terakhir di Kabupaten Bandung telah menyebabkan pertumbuhan ekonomi dan pembangunan, namun secara luas mengembangkan wilayah Kabupaten Bandung tidak memungkinkan karena sebagian besar lahannya dikhususkan untuk hasil pertanian dan perkebunan. Oleh karena itu, pembangunan ke atas lebih dibutuhkan daripada konstruksi ekstensif seperti pembangunan gedung bertingkat rendah dan tinggi. Untuk melakukan ini, perencana perlu merancang struktur bangunan bertingkat.

Salah satu cara yang dilakukan dalam hal ini adalah membangun Rumah Susun. Rumah Susun sangat cocok dalam hal ini dikarenakan dalam pembangunaannya menghemat penggunaan lahan.

Dalam analisis ini menggunakan aplikasi ETABS dan menggunakan peraturan SNI Gedungb sesuai dengan penggunaanya.

The modern era is an era where there is a lot of development, be it cultural development, educational development or technology. Indonesian society still upholds manners in relationships as children behave to their elders and relationships between friends. But along with the pace of development of the times and rapid changes in information technology have changed most of the world's people, especially teenagers.

In 2014, Monsanto Corporation partnered with National 4-H Council to help inspire and develop professional skills among young agriculturalists. The Ohio State University created Fish Farm Challenge, which engaged more than 8,000 youth across eight states. Youth were taught about worldwide food insecurity and the importance of aquaculture. They were then asked to create a prototype of a fish food distribution system using standard materials within a small-group teamwork setting and guidance provided by trained teen leaders. Survey results indicate that one-third of the youth were more interested in science and agriculture after participating in the 90-minute activity.

In 2017, the National 4-H professional research, knowledge, and competencies (PRKC) taxonomy was updated reflecting the current needs of 4-H youth development professionals. Knowledge and skill gaps of 4-H professionals need to be identified to optimize resource allocation for professional development on the state and regional level. We developed a web-based self-assessment of the PRKC tool using Qualtrics, that evaluated the core competencies across the 6 PRKC domains: (a) youth development; (b) youth program development; (c) volunteerism; (d) equity, access, and opportunity; (e) partnerships; and (f) organizational systems. The responses from 188 Extension 4-H professionals (approximately a quarter of the 4-H Extension professionals in the Northeast region) were analyzed to (a) identify the knowledge and skills gaps in competencies within 6 domains, and (b) provide suggestions for professional development that would be of value to each state or region, based on the aggregate data. The results show respondents perceived their personal knowledge, skills, and competencies highest in the domains of access, equity, and opportunity and organizational systems. The domains with the lowest perceived personal effectiveness were youth program development and volunteerism. Not surprisingly, the aggregate results indicate that respondents with a greater number of years of experience in Extension reported higher competency in three domains (youth program development, volunteerism, and organizational systems). This tool can be utilized by Extension at any level to better understand the needs of the 4-H professional workforce. Results can aid the design of professional development opportunities to meet the knowledge and skill gaps identified among respondents.
Journey to Praxis: Supporting Youth Activism
Authors: Clemons Rachael
Published: July 2023

Drawing on the work of critical scholars, this study is guided by the idea that systems and structures are malleable, and young people can challenge the conditions and policies which inform their lives. Utilizing qualitative methods, I investigated how nine adult youth workers from three different non-profit organizations supported youth of color as they engaged in social justice activism. I found that participants shared fundamental strengths-based beliefs about youth and their communities; however, their processes of engagement in social justice activism were different at each organization. This paper outlines processes participants engaged to support youth of color on their journeys to develop critical consciousness and to engage in social action.
The Lasting Benefits of Multiyear Camp Programming for Youth from Low-Income Backgrounds

Summer camps are a common youth development setting in North America; however, youth from lowincome backgrounds often cannot attend because of financial barriers. Subsequently, although a robust camp literature exists, little is known about the lasting benefits for youth from low-income backgrounds. Even less is known about how these outcomes may differ based on the number of years youth attend a multi-year camp. The purpose of this study was to examine the long-term outcomes camp alumni reported as attributable to camp and that remain important in their life today. Eighteen outcomes examined via a cross-sectional retrospective survey completed by 449 camp alumni between the ages of 18 and 40 (mage = 22.1, SD = 5.17) were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance to examine the within-subject and between-subject associations between years attended camp and alumni reported outcomes. Alumni of multi-year camps for youth from low-income backgrounds reported that camp was important to the development of many outcomes that are useful to their lives today. The more years that alumni attended a multi-year camp program, the greater the impact they reported that camp had on outcomes important to them today and the more likely they were to have completed post-secondary education. The results of this study provide evidence that practitioners and policy makers may use to advocate for funding to make camp programs more accessible and supportive for youth from low-income backgrounds, and to support youth year-round to stay engaged with camp programs.
