Impacts of Temporal Changes in Land use/cover on the Remaining Historical Forests in a Rapidly Urbanizing area
Authors: Yang Jingyi , Wu Feng
Published: May 2021

Background: Remaining historical forests are crucial for maintaining biodiversity in urban areas. However, the integrity and stability of historical forests are affected by land use/cover change in various ways. A better understanding of these impacts can help guide targeted conservation. Methods: In this study, we estimated the loss of forestlands and levels of threats and analysed the importance of critical areas for historical forests in the built-up area of a rapidly urbanizing city—Guiyang, China. Results and Conclusions: The results showed that 1988.46 ha of historical forestlands was transformed into other land use/cover types. The number of patches smaller than 10 ha increased by 51% from 1976 to 2018. The lands of 36 historical forest patches were completely transformed into other land use/cover types during the past 42 years. The mean value of the threat index of all the historical forest patches increased by 33% compared to the baseline year. Core and bridge areas regarded as key nodes and links for the connectivity of forest networks decreased in area by 632.34 and 331.92 ha, respectively. Most of the critical areas with high importance values for connectivity were located in the central part of the city. They were severely threatened by the surrounding areas, having high threat index values. Based on these findings, we recommend that effective measures be implemented to control the further loss of historical forests and increase the connectivity and buffering capacity of the remaining forests by planting trees in some key locations.

Authors: Ma Huijuan , Cheng Zhen , Tan Jing , Luo Yu
Published: May 2021

Background As military nurses are required to maintain high level of clinical expertise and currency for short-notice deployments of global health missions, competency assessment and capability building is a basic paradigm of military nursing. However, research focusing on the competencies of military nurses is limited. Methods: A two-phased procedure was implemented. In phase 1, the competency framework was developed by scoping review and crosschecking the common used competency framework of nurses. During phase 2, two rounds of a Delphi process were carried out and a penal of experts used a 5-point Likert scale to rate their level of agreement with the competency statement. Results:Experts of military nursing and military medicine responded to the first round (n = 19), and the second round (n = 19). The final competency framework consisted of 67 competencies and was classified into five domains: clinical nursing knowledge and skills, military nursing knowledge and skills, professional ability, management ability, and comprehensive quality. Conclusion: The competency framework developed in this study lays solid foundation for competency-based education of a competent nursing team to play a significant role in the global health.
Analysis of the fairness of child health services in China 2010-2019
Authors: Wu Ji , Jin Hao-Nan , Lao Yi-Lei , Qu Xian-Guo
Published: May 2021

Background

The imbalance of child health services caused by the huge income gap between urban and rural residents and uncoordinated regional development has become increasingly prominent. This article analyzes the basic situation and equity of child care services in China from 2010 to 2019.
Methods

Evaluate the equity of child health services by concentration index.
Results

From 2010 to 2019, neonatal visit rate and system management rate of under-three children in Chinese child health service projects showed an upward trend, and the perinatal mortality rate decreased. The perinatal mortality rate is the highest in the western region, and the level of child health services in the central region is lower than the national average, but the gap between regions has gradually decreased. Child health services concentrate in provinces with high economic levels, and the perinatal mortality rate is the most unfair.
Conclusion

The decline in the mortality rate of under-five children is related to the improvement in the child health services. We should improve the health services of perinatal infants and pay attention to the health of children aged 1 to 4 years. The fairness of child health service is affected by the two-child policy. We should rationally allocate resources and strengthen support for the central and western regions.
Absolute contrast estimation for soft X-ray photon fluctuation spectroscopy using a variational droplet model
Authors: Burdet Nicolas Georges , Esposito Vincent , Seaberg Matthew , Yoon Chun Hong , Turner Joshua
Published: May 2021

X-ray photon fluctuation spectroscopy (XPFS) using a two-pulse mode at the Linac Coherent Light Source has great potential for the study of quantum fluctuations in materials as it allows for exploration of low-energy physics. However, the complexity of the data analysis and interpretation still prevent recovering real-time results during an experiment, and can even complicate post-analysis processes. This is particularly true for high-spatial resolution applications using CCDs with small pixels, which can decrease the photon mapping accuracy resulting from the large electron cloud generation at the detector. Droplet algorithms endeavor to restore accurate photon maps, but the results can be altered by their hyper-parameters. We present numerical modeling tools through extensive simulations that mimic previous fluctuation spectroscopy experiments. By a modification of a fast droplet algorithm, our results demonstrate how to optimize the precise parameters that lift the intrinsic counting degeneracy impeding accuracy in extracting the speckle contrast. These results allow for an absolute determination of the summed contrast from multi-pulse x-ray speckle diffraction, the modus operandi by which the correlation time for spontaneous fluctuations can be measured.

Identification and validation of signal recognition particle 14 as a prognostic biomarker predicting overall survival in patients with acute myeloid leukemia
Authors: Shi Lingling , Huang Rui , Lai Yongrong
Published: May 2021

Background This study aimed to determine and verify the prognostic value and potential functional mechanism of signal recognition particle 14 (SRP14) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) using a genome-wide expression profile dataset.Methods We obtained an AML genome-wide expression profile dataset and clinical prognostic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GSE12417 databases, and explored the prognostic value and functional mechanism of SRP14 in AML using survival analysis and various online tools.Results Survival analysis showed that AML patients with high SRP14 expression had poorer overall survival than patients with low SRP14 expression. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves indicated that SRP14 had good accuracy for predicting the prognosis in patients with AML. Genome-wide co-expression analysis suggested that SRP14 may play a role in AML by participating in the regulation of biological processes and signaling pathways, such as cell cycle, cell adhesion, mitogen-activated protein kinase, tumor necrosis factor, T cell receptor, DNA damage response, and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling. Gene set enrichment analysis indicated that SRP14 was significantly enriched in biological processes and signaling pathways including regulation of hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation and stem cell differentiation, intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by p53 class mediator, interleukin-1, T cell mediated cytotoxicity, and NF-κB-inducing kinase/NF-κB signaling. Using the TCGA AML dataset, we also identified four drugs (phenazone, benzydamine, cinnarizine, antazoline) that may serve as SRP14-targeted drugs in AML.Conclusion The current results revealed that high SRP14 expression was significantly related to a poor prognosis and may serve as a prognostic biomarker in patients with AML.

Authors: Samuel Melvin S. , Kirankumar V.S. , Ethiraj Selvarajan
Published: May 2021

In this study, biochar was obtained under mild conditions by pyrolysis treatment (350 oC) of rice husk, providing energy-efficient and low-carbon footprint synthesis. The pyrolyzed biochar was selected as the basis for solvothermal reaction to combine with ferrite in which the abundant functional groups would facilitate the removal of lead (Pb2+) and cadmium (Cd2+). Biochar/Ferrite (MBC) has special physicochemical properties and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, and BET. The sorption possessions of the magnetic biochar (MBC) towards the heavy metals Pb2+ and Cd2+ were validated by the batch sorption process. The findings of the batch sorption kinetics propose the mechanism of sorption follows a pseudo-second-order model. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models applied to the sorption equilibrium data for assessment of sorption potential and related mechanism. These findings showed that the sorption occurred through physical and chemical connections among Pb2+ and Cd2+ through MBC functional groups. Pb2+ and Cd2+ had a sorption potential of 147 mg/g, 104 mg/g at pH 5.5, and 300 k. The synthesized MBC was tested for recovery of heavy metal from industrial effluent, and successfully recovered 80% of heavy metals Pb2+ and Cd2+. Finally, the findings obtained showed the MBC adsorbent's ability for extracting trace heavy metals from industrial effluent.
Study on Settlement Characteristics of Mudstone Embankment

Published: May 2021

It is in line with the concept of sustainable development to fill embankment with mudstone waste slag. However, the property of mudstone softening and disintegrating in water may affect the operation quality of the road. Relying on the Hechang Highway project, the engineering properties of mudstone filler and the settlement characteristics of embankment are studied by centrifugal model test and field test. The results showed that: under Optimum moisture content, the settlement of mudstone embankment mainly occurred in the filling stage (accounting for 62.96% of the total), and it could reach stability after 24 months of operation. The embankment settlement in cross-section showed the trend of "upward concave", and the settlement difference is not significant. Under continuous rainfall condition, the settlement mainly occurred in the operation stage (accounting for 49.05% of the total), and it could reach stability after 44 months of operation, in cross-section showed the trend of "M", the largest settlement at the shoulder. The trend of the basement earth pressure and the settlement on top of embankment is basically the same. Under continuous rainfall condition, the basement earth pressure is more concentrated toward the road centerline. It can be seen that rainfall has a certain influence on the strength and stability of mudstone embankment. The above research results provided a reliable basis for the design of embankment filled with mudstone waste.
Shallow seismic characteristics and distribution of gas in lacustrine sediments at Lake Erçek, Eastern Anatolia, Turkey, from high-resolution seismic data
Authors: Toker Mustafa , Tur Hüseyin
Published: May 2021

The high-resolution analysis of single-channel, seismic reflection data from Lake Erçek (Eastern Anatolia) revealed a wide range of shallow gas anomalies consisting of enhanced reflections, seismic chimneys, acoustic blanking/acoustic turbidity, strong reflectors, and pockmarks, including both surface and buried pockmarks. The enhanced reflections are represented by the higher-amplitude reflection patterns resulting from high acoustic impedance variations. They are mostly clustered in the NW-corner of the lake. Seismic chimneys are represented by vertical and thinned columnar disturbances of amplitude blanking and mostly occurred in deep basinal and faulted sections in the West and East of the lake. Some seismic chimneys, occurring together with pockmarks, represent vertical vent activations. Acoustic gas-masking was represented by chaotic and diffuse seismic reflection patterns, including acoustic blanking and acoustic turbidity. As diffuse acoustic turbidity indicates gas-charged sediments, columnar disturbances showing acoustic blanking indicate degassing of the sediments. These features extend from SE to NW, coinciding with the deep basin morphology of the lake. A very local strong reflector was identified in the western section of the lake, simulating the lake floor. This reflector is due to extended enhanced reflections, suggesting shallow free gas. Pockmarks observed in the lake are structurally classified into the two distinct types; surface (active) pockmarks found in the SE-part of the lake and buried (passive) pockmarks found in the NW. The former enlarge through deeper gas reservoir feedback, as the layering is impermeable, while the latter have resulted from a cessation of the reservoir feedback mechanism and/or permeable layering. In the lake, shallow gas distribution is controlled by faults, that provide the faulting-driven depositional control and earthquakes, that provide the seismicity-driven overpressure control. The shallow gas is then both vertically and horizontally distributed and, finally, distribution is shaped by asymmetric depositional and stratigraphic factors. This study of Lake Erçek presents complementary information about a possible origin of observed shallow gas and is important in identifying the pockmark types to be targeted for oil/gas exploration and valuable geochemical proxies.

Introduction: Gingival recessions are mucogingival defects of multifactorial etiology that interfere with aesthetics and function; in many cases these defects require multidisciplinary treatment. Objective: To report a clinical case of gingival recession treatment using a periodontal and orthodontic approach. Case report: Patient a 20-year-old woman, sought the Extension Project of Clinical and Surgical Periodontics (PROEPECC/UFCG) complaining of developing gingival recession in tooth 31, which was poorly positioned in the arch after orthodontic movement. Periodontal examination revealed type 1 gingival recession associated with a prominent labial frenulum, with a gingival height of 3 mm, width of 2 mm, probing depth of 1 mm, and absence of attached gingiva. The root was covered using a subepithelial connective tissue graft removed from the palatal mucosa and coronally positioned flap; in addition, inferior labial frenectomy was performed. After 1 year and 6 months, tooth 31 was again moved to reposition it in the arch. One year and 10 months post-surgery, new periodontal examination was performed to evaluate the mucogingival characteristics of the treated area. The recession was completely covered and there was a 4-mm increase in the attached gingiva. Conclusion: Orthodontics may positively or negatively influence periodontal structures and periodontics may favor the prognosis of tooth movement in a risk area by modifying the periodontal phenotype, increasing its resistance to gingival recession.

To date, the role of human papillomavirus (HpV) in the development of lung cancer is still under investigation. The available published data do not provide evidence of the involvement of HpV in lung cancer pathogenesis. In Russia, there are no reports regarding the studies of viral contribution to lung carcinogenesis.

The aim of the present study was to examine the presence of high-risk HpV infection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Material and Methods. The study included 30 patients with histologically verified stage IIBIIIA NSCLC. Normal and tumor lung tissue samples as well as whole blood samples from each patient were used. dNA was isolated from tissue samples using the QIAamp dNA mini Kit (Qiagen, Germany). Amplisens® reagent kits (Moscow, Russia) were used for dNA isolation and genotyping.

Results. The presence of HpV dNA was detected in 3 (10.0 %) patients. HpV dNA was not detected in 27 (90.0 %) patients. HpV-16 genotype was observed in 2 HpV-positive patients, and HpV-33 was observed in 1 patient. A clinically insignificant viral load was found in almost all HpV-positive samples. The assessment of the virus integration in HpV16-positive lung cancer patients revealed mixed and integrated forms of the virus in the tumor tissue of these patients. The 5-year metastasis-free survival rate in all HpV-positive patients was 100 %.

Conclusion. Our data showed HpV dNA prevalence rate of 10 % among NSCLC patients in the Russian population. The presence/absence of a viral component for lung cancer patients is a clinically significant parameter.

Published: May 2021

There are limited studies that concern the institutional policies and issues of blended learning adoption. By using a case study, this study explores blended learning implementation and three main issues of adoption. The issues are “institutional strategy, structure, and support that portrayed the stages of the blended learning adoption. The data indicated that the blended learning implementation of learning increases the involvement use of technology by the learner. But there is still no proportionality in the enforcement between F2F and online learning goals and activities. The data were obtained by observation, semi-structured interview, and documentation. Based on the result, the institution under investigation still in stage 1 (awareness/exploration stage) of the blended learning adoption stage. By doing the research on the three participants who adopt blended learning, it can be concluded that the institution has not met the requirements for implementing blended learning at higher stages because many aspects have not been fulfilled and need to be improved for future implementation. Therefore, the researchers expect that this research can be a reference regarding aspects that must be fulfilled for better implementation.

Published: May 2021

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aim to compare the maternal and obstetric outcomes between local adolescent Turkish citizens and adolescent Syrian refugees admitted to a tertiary care center in Turkey.
STUDY DESIGN: Between January 2014 and December 2019, a total of 57,049 births were performed in our hospital. The study included a total of 6,021 patients aged 19 years or younger pregnancy who gave birth at our hospital. Of this number, 5,164 (1,792 Syrian adolescent refugee cases and 3,372 local adolescent Turkish cases) were live singleton pregnancies. Our primary aim was to compare the maternal and obstetric outcomes between the two groups.
RESULTS: In the pregnant refugee women, the maternal age was younger (p<0.001). Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels are significantly lower in Syrian pregnant women (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Anemia was significantly higher in Syrian refugee pregnant women (p<0.001). The double screening test and triple screening test were significantly lower in Syrian pregnant women (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Preterm birth rates and late preterm delivery prevalence (34-37 gestational weeks) were significantly higher in the adolescent Syrian immigrants' compared to the adolescent Turkish locals (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). The average birth weight of the Syrian refugees was lower but the number of low birth weight babies was higher Turkish locals (p=0.010 and p=0.014, respectively). The preterm birth ratio and low birth weight ratio in Syrian adolescents has decreased over the years.
CONCLUSION: Syrian adolescent refugees are particularly at risk of early pregnancy, high fertility rate, preterm birth, low birth weight, and anemia. Immigrant women should be provided with fertility, family planning, and training on behavior that protects reproductive health. Syrian pregnant women should be supported to receive services.

Авторами обосновываются актуальность и востребованность изучения самореализации по результатам запросов из научной базы SciVal. Проанализированы данные распределения исследований тематического кластера по странам, вузам мира, по журналам из перечня научной базы Scopus. Проведен обзор отечественных и зарубежных научных публикаций по проблеме изучения социальной самореализации волонтеров, раскрываются мотивы их участия в добровольческих объединениях и личностные особенности.

В исследовании приняли участие 60 подростков (30 девушек и 30 юношей) – участников социально значимых проектов, проводимых на территории Ростовской области. Средний возраст респондентов составил 15,5 лет. Стаж волонтерской деятельности варьировал от 2 до 5 лет. Методический инструментарий: многомерный опросник самореализации личности С. И. Кудинова и авторская анкета «Смыслообразующие мотивы самореализации».

В ходе проведенного исследования были выявлены следующие закономерности: у девушек-волонтеров на статистически значимом уровне выше показатели социальной самореализации, чем у юношей-волонтеров. Независимо от половой принадлежности для подростков-волонтеров характерен средний уровень структурированности социальной самореализации. В зависимости от половой принадлежности и по мере взросления подростков – участников социально значимых проектов компоненты социальной самореализации претерпевают изменения: девушки-волонтеры становятся более консервативными, а у юношей-волонтеров снижаются личностные барьеры. У юношей-волонтеров преобладающим мотивом социальной самореализации является утилитарно-прагматический мотив, а у девушек-волонтеров – коммуникативный мотив.

Выявленные закономерности могут быть использованы для построения эффективного психолого-педагогического сопровождения подростков по формированию целостной системы поддержки инициативной и талантливой молодежи и вовлечения молодых людей в социальную практику.
Академическая прокрастинация: аспекты откладывания выполнения учебных заданий студентами
Authors: Попова Дарья И. , Беликова Маргарита Е.
Published: May 2021

В статье авторы рассматривают академическую прокрастинацию как серьезную проблему студентов высших учебных заведений, которая негативно сказывается на их психологическом состоянии и на результатах учебной деятельности. Актуальность исследования заключается в распространенности проблемы. В исследованиях на данную тему отмечается, что очень большой процент студентов подвержен академической прокрастинации. Новизна исследования заключается в комплексном изучении у студентов гуманитарного профиля проявлений и причин академической прокрастинации и связанных с ней эмоциональных состояний.

Исследование проводилось с помощью авторской анкеты-опросника на выборке студентов гуманитарных специальностей (в количестве 128 человек) в декабре 2020 года.

В результате были получены и проанализированы данные по нескольким направлениям: 1) проявления прокрастинации; 2) причины прокрастинации; 3) эмоциональные состояния, сопровождающие прокрастинацию; 4) последствия для учебного процесса; 5) пути преодоления состояния прокрастинации.

Было выявлено, что академическая прокрастинация проявляется у респондентов прежде всего в откладывании выполнения учебных заданий и подготовки к экзаменам. Наиболее частыми причинами такого откладывания респонденты назвали трудоемкость и сложность задачи, а также вид задания: чаще всего откладывают письменные задания. Эмоциональный аспект академической прокрастинации обычно характеризуется у респондентов тревогой и чувством вины. Приступать к выполнению задания студентов чаще всего побуждают две причины: тревога о негативных последствиях того, что работа не будет сдана в срок, и желание поскорее избавиться от задачи, которая вызывает напряжение, оставаясь невыполненной. Также было проанализировано влияние академической прокрастинации на учебный процесс. Оказалось, что более трети опрошенных хотя бы несколько раз пропускали занятия по причине несделанного задания.

Таким образом, академическая прокрастинация является фактором, который значительно осложняет учебную деятельность студентов вузов.

A dramatic performance that presents a play will be found by several figures according to their social status, which is a reflection of people’s lives that are staged on the stage. Gambuh, for example, as the mother of the Balinese drama that appeared afterward and has developed from the Ancient Bali era, Classical Bali to the present, there are at least several strata of characters that appear, one of which is the Pekatik actor. This servant character only appears according to the needs of the storyline being presented, has the character of being innocent, funny, and antawacana using Balinese. Now, in some Gambuh performances, the Pekatik character is very rare because after the 1990s this role was replaced by the Semar character. This study is very important as a source of written data that will be used as reference material for future researchers. This research uses qualitative methods, as well as data collection using literature review techniques, documentation, and interviews.

Pari yang diperdagangkan di Tempat Penampungan Ikan (TPI) Tarakan perlu diketahui jenisnya. Hal ini merupakan langkah awal agar jenis pari yang tergolong dilindungi atau populasinya telah berkurang di alam dapat dihindari untuk diperdagangkan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengungkap spesies pari layang-layang yang diperdagangkan dari TPI Gunung Lingkas, Tarakan, Kalimantan Utara, dengan menggunakan metode pengidentifikasian secara molekuler (DNA barcoding) dan menentukan status konservasinya. Berdasarkan hasil BLAST, sampel teridentifikasi memiliki kemiripan 99,80% dengan spesies Aetoplatea zonura isolate GZON2. Hasil BOLD-IDS juga memberikan persentase kemiripan sebesar 99,8% dengan spesies Gymnura zonura (sinonim A. zonura). Nilai kemiripan >98% menjelaskan bahwa homologi sekuen berada pada tingkat spesies sehingga sampel yang diidentifikasi merupakan G. zonura. Hasil analisis filogenetik dengan menggunakan tiga metode analisis yaitu NJ, ML, dan ME menempatkan sampel ray-T2, G. zonura, dan G. cf zonura konsisten berada pada kelompok yang sama (monofiletik). Artinya, sampel ray-T2 berkerabat dekat dengan G. zonura. Status konservasi G. zonura terkategori vulnerable (vu) di laman IUCN yang berarti spesies ini sedang menghadapi risiko kepunahan di alam sedangkan status pada CITES masih dalam posisi belum terevaluasi.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of adding various types of polysaccharides (CMC, xanthan gum, pectin, agar) and the percentage of polysaccharides (0.5% and 1%) on the characteristics of cucumber sorbet with a low proportion of sugar. This study uses a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with eight treatments and three replications. The results show that the interaction between the types of polysaccharides and the percentage of polysaccharides significantly affects the value of brightness (L) and yellowness (b+) of the sorbet. Based on the results of this study, the best treatment for cucumber sorbet is the cucumber sorbet using 1% xanthan gum. Cucumber sorbet using polysaccharides and a low proportion of sugar can be made as a type of frozen snack that is beneficial to the human body.
