Authors: Proios Ioannis
Published: June 2024

The examination of the interpersonal behaviors of undergraduate student-athletes can contribute to the research on the perceptions of students for satisfaction and frustration of basic psychological behaviors by teachers in the context teaching classes. Aim of this study was to translate into Greek and investigate the factorial validity and internal consistency of the Interpersonal Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ; 24-item six factors). 252 full-time undergraduate student-athletes (125 males and 127 females) were used ranging in age 18 to 38 years. The results of CFA showed a good fit of the data to the model, while the multi-sample results indicated invariance for factor loadings and correlations between male and female samples. Internal consistency coefficients Cronbach alpha and interclass correlation were moderate significant. In conclusion, the IBQ-Gr version has valid and reliable psychometric properties and can be applied to examination of the perceptions interpersonal behaviors others into Greek population.
The “Umbrella Society” and the Emergence and Development of Modern Enterprises During the Self-Strengthening Movement in China
Authors: Zhang Jijiao , Liu Shan , Yang Lin
Published: June 2024

The “umbrella society” is a main feature of the Chinese social structure. The “umbrella” protection that government offers business operators is not only a major social relationship but also an important means of resource allocation in China. During the Self-Strengthening Movement, the “paternal”, “kinship” and “friendship” relationships between the government and enterprises promoted the emergence of state-owned enterprises, government-supervised commercial enterprises and commercial enterprises, respectively, as modern enterprises. Simultaneously, different resource allocations facilitated their development. However, due to the ambiguities in the umbrella services provided by the government to enterprises, the Chinese efforts to establish modern enterprises during the Self-Strengthening Movement were far from successful.
Memory and Mortality: The Influence of Charles Maturin’s Global Necromanticism on Mary Shelley’s The Last Man (1826)
Authors: Azariah-Kribbs Colin
Published: June 2024

In one of his published sermons, Charles Robert Maturin writes: ‘Life is full of death; the steps of the living cannot press the earth without disturbing the ashes of the dead – we walk upon our ancestors – the globe itself is one vast churchyard.’ Travelers in Melmoth the Wanderer (1820) are drawn to ruins, to historical texts, and to spectacles of death, all in an imperfect attempt to comprehend, recall, and communicate the mystery of suffering and mortality on a global, transnational scale. Drawing from Paul Westover’s seminal study of ‘necromanticism’ in which he discusses Romantic-era practices of memorializing and communing with the dead via historical writing and travel, I will read Mary Shelley’s plague novel The Last Man (1826) as a text that borrows from Maturin’s theory of the tenuous communicability of historical memory. I argue that Shelley echoes Maturin’s interest in a global necromanticism in which the living seek to remember and commemorate the dead through language, extending this practice of commemorative remembrance on a transnational scale. In so doing, Shelley also incorporates Maturin’s darker critique of these global commemorations as at once compulsive yet insufficient.
The Stay of Poetry: Notes on the Poetry of Norma Cole
Authors: Benjamin Andrew
Published: June 2024

This article has two interrelated projects. The first is to offer a philosophical engagement with the poetry of Norma Cole. The second is, through that engagement, to take up critically aspects of Heidegger’s writings on poetry. Consequently, as well as introducing Cole’s poetry to a wider academic audience, the contention of the article is that the limit of certain philosophical interpretations of poetry — here Heidegger’s — can be found in other instances of the work of poetry.
”Det har inte bara att göra med teknik i sig, utan det är även ett sätt att arbeta”

“It's not just about the technology itself; it's also a way of working” - An Explorative Study of social care staff’s perspectives on welfare technology in the field of disability.
The purpose of this qualitative study is to gain a better understanding of how the implementation of a welfare technology (WT) may affect the daily work of unit managers and social care staff in social care homes. It also aims to explore how residents' ability to participate, exercise self-determination, and be independent in their daily activities may be affected by this WT, as perceived by staff.
The study focuses on one WT Boet, a digital support tool, created for care professionals and residents with intellectual disabilities and/or autism. Boet is a WT that comprises a staff application and an individual application for residents.
The study is based on the experiences of care professionals working in social care homes in three Swedish municipalities covered by the Act (1993:387) on Support and Services for Certain Disabled People (LSS). Over a period of six months in 2023, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 care staff and three unit managers.  
The analysis highlights trust as a central theme and identifies three aspects that influence professional discretion: transparency, shifts in power, and safety. In conclusion, it can be assumed that the level of trust among staff plays a crucial role in establishing the framework for professional discretion concerning digitalisation, WT, and its additional working methods. This study indicates several different shifts in the professionals' discretion that may require trust in one's ability, the residents, the WT, management, and organisation.
Att ge information i skriven interaktion

To provide information in written interaction – responsiveness at the digital welfare state’s frontline
Digitalisation has created opportunities for people to have contact with representatives of human service organisations through various text-based channels (e.g., online chat, social media, email). Despite the fact that such text-based interaction is common in social work practice today, there is remarkably little knowledge about how the interaction is structured in practice and what characteristics the different forms have. Such knowledge is central to designing appropriate contacts that respond to clients’ needs. This study uses conversation analysis to study two forms of digital text-based interaction between clients and representatives of the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (SSIA). The data consist of circa 900 exchanges via email and the SSIA’s official Facebook page for parents. Identified patterns are also compared with 300 recorded phone calls to the SSIA, to make visible how participants orient to the limitations and affordances that the textual arenas provide in practice and which functions they thereby fulfill with regard to client relations. The analysis focuses on how practitioners manage responsiveness in replies to client questions. We show how practitioners’ replies tend to deviate from conversational norms by not being designed in line with the design or content of the questions. For example, practitioners often provide information that is conditioned (e.g., “if …then …”) rather than yes/no answers (even when replying to yes/no questions). Through this, the analysis also demonstrates how practitioners realise policy and organisational goals in digital text-based interaction. The study contributes knowledge about how help and service is provided in digital text-based interaction and highlights the problem of generally held replies that are not adapted to the recipient, as the interaction risks not fulfilling the expected function for the clients. We also problematise how textual interaction on social media platforms poses risks for clients’ privacy from an ethical perspective.

Introduktionen av digital teknik i socialt arbete har beskrivits som full av motsättningar (Harris, 2021). Å ena sidan har förändringen av socialt arbete, visavi andra professioner, ibland beskrivits som långsam när det kommer till att acceptera och implementera ny teknik i sina praktiker och i sin verksamhet (López Peláez & Marcuello-Servós, 2018). Å andra sidan har andra beskrivit långsamheten som en befogad försiktighet i att introducera ny teknik i verksamheten (Bullock & Colvin, 2015) – inte minst när det kommer till frågor om etik och förmågan att skydda klienters integritet och anonymitet. Det råder inte heller någon konsensus om vilken terminologi som ska användas för att beskriva de nya teknologiska arbetssätt som används i socialt arbete. Exempel från forskningen är informations- och kommunikationsteknologi (IKT), e-socialt arbete, teknologiskt medierat socialt arbete och nätbaserat socialt arbete (Afrouz & Lucas, 2023).
PARA QUE SERVE A LITERATURA?
Authors: Ferreira Leal Luciana , Rodrigues da Silva Cláudio , Domingos Moraes Agnes Iara
Published: June 2024

Apresenta-se problematização acerca do ensino da literatura literária em contextos escolares, tomando como ponto de partida o filme “El suplente” (O substituto), de 2022, dirigido por Diego Lerman. Para isso, recorre-se a bibliografias atinentes, em especial ao ensino da literatura. Toma-se como mote para problematização a pergunta central do filme realizada pelo professor Lucio (interpretado por Juan Minujín), qual seja, “Para que serve a literatura?”, para problematizar um dos principais desafios docentes para o ensino da literatura para determinados setores dos discentes, cujas atitudes podem ser sintetizadas numa espécie de bordão recorrente entre integrantes desse segmento: para que serve esse conteúdo? Partindo de apontamentos de Antonio Candido e Nuccio Ordine, a pergunta “para que serve a literatura?” pode suscitar uma expressiva variedade de posicionamentos, cuja validade dependerá, dentre outros fatores, das concepções de literatura, de educação e de mundo, tanto de quem pergunta quanto de quem responde a esse questionamento.

“LUTO E MELANCOLIA” REVISITADO ATRAVÉS DA ARTE CONTEMPORÂNEA DE FLÁVIO DE CARVALHO E MAGGI HAMBLING
Authors: Lousa Teresa , Ana Lúcia Mandelli de Marsillac
Published: June 2024

Neste artigo, ante ao tema da melancolia, articulamos as reflexões de Sigmund Freud, realizadas em 1917, ao trabalho de dois artistas contemporâneos que têm em comum, a representação post-mortem dos seus progenitores. Com eles, refletimos que, ocupar-se dos objetos de luto parece contribuir para restaurar as feridas causadas por esse sofrimento agudo. Flávio de Carvalho (1899-1973), artista brasileiro, ao longo da sua carreira aborda, de diferentes formas, o tema da morte. Destacamos a sua Série Trágica, na qual representa, com rigor intimista, a morte de sua mãe. A pintora Maggi Hambling, artista britânica (1945), aborda o tema da morte também, o qual tem um lugar de eleição na economia global da sua obra. Seleccionámos desenhos do seu Sketchbook, onde representa seu pai a morrer e depois da sua morte. Com uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa documental e comparativa, trabalhámos as iconografias e metapsicologia do luto presente nas obras em análise. Visa, assim, contribuir para trazer uma melhor compreensão sobre estas imagens que, abordando o tema da morte, de modo autobiográfico, colocam em cena o estranho do morrer e os seus impossíveis. Ante aos enigmas da morte e às dores da perda dos primeiros outros, revelam que a arte pode ser uma estratégia de comunicação e de elaboração. Desta análise, resulta mais claro o cerne e a missão da arte contemporânea, enquanto linguagem visual, que visa a acionar a dimensão da experiência e da implicação da recepção sobre a obra. Neste contexto, auxiliam a expressar o luto e os traços melancólicos decorrentes das perdas, bem como a dimensão reparatória e testemunhal da arte.

Published: June 2024

El término “presbifonía” se refiere a la sintomatología generada por cambios fisiológicos del sistema de producción vocal en personas mayores saludables. Existen diversos enfoques terapéuticos para su abordaje, sin embargo, no existe suficiente investigación que permita documentarlos y, a partir de ellos, conocer las técnicas disponibles y eficaces para la terapia vocal, lo que se traduce en un desafío para la fonoaudiología, considerando el acelerado proceso de envejecimiento poblacional actual y la necesidad de atender, cada vez más, a personas mayores con esta condición, desde una perspectiva gerontológica y situada. Esta revisión analizó la evidencia científica disponible sobre los enfoques terapéuticos y las estrategias metodológicas utilizadas para el abordaje terapéutico de la presbifonía, con el fin de caracterizar las herramientas que se están utilizando actualmente. Se realizó una revisión exploratoria de literatura según las orientaciones del método PRISMA y se seleccionaron 6 publicaciones científicas. En las investigaciones, ninguna en habla castellana, se observa tendencia al uso de propuestas basadas en el modelo biomédico, con intervenciones individuales y fundamentadas en un enfoque fisiológico. Se encuentra evidencia que respalda una intervención integradora, de tipo grupal, situada en lo comunitario, con enfoque ecléctico y que dialoga con los lineamientos internacionales para el trabajo en vejez. Se concluye la urgencia de contar con nuevas investigaciones que den cuenta rigurosamente de nuevos enfoques eficientes para intervención conductual en presbifonía, sobre todo aquellos que se adapten al proceso de envejecer saludablemente.
La ontogenia de la cognición cooperativa y las normas de equidad en dilemas distributivos
Authors: Segovia Cuellar Andres
Published: June 2024

This paper explores a naturalistic and culturally situated perspective on the ontogeny of cooperative cognition and fairness norms in distributive dilemmas involving the allocation of resources. According to this approach, the process of decision-making in distributive dilemmas is grounded on general considerations about others’ well-being and the respect for everyone's interests and rights in conflictive interactions. The sense of fairness is also conceived as the outcome of social interactions and is modulated by contextual factors. However, I claim that the human sense of fairness in distributive dilemmas is certainly bounded by concrete principles that govern its expression and guide the establishment of reasonable, generalizable, and prescriptive solutions in cooperative situations. This logic is broadly confirmed by multiple pieces of evidence coming from evolutionary-informed and cross-cultural studies within behavioral sciences. Finally, I suggest that cooperative cognition and fairness norms in distributive dilemmas must be explored as scientifically relevant issues that are independent of ideological assumptions on the matter that usually end up in problematic interpretations of the empirical data.

Insights into the regulation of hearing regeneration
Authors: Khalaily Lama , Avraham Karen B.
Published: June 2024

Our perception of sound is mediated by sound-sensitive hair cells in the inner ear, located in a specialized neuro-epithelium that transmits information to the auditory cortex via the auditory pathway. A major cause of hearing loss is damage to and the death of these sensory hair cells. In humans, hair cells are only generated during embryonic development and cannot be replaced if damaged due to aging, excessive noise, ototoxic drugs, or illness. Much research is currently being invested worldwide in identifying methods to improve the ability to regenerate hair cells and circumvent their age-dependent limitations. Compared to numerous studies focused on gene therapy to restore deafness caused by a specific mutation before the onset of hair cell damage, research on auditory epigenetics is relatively recent. Although research indicates that epigenetic alterations play a crucial role in the differentiation, development, and regeneration of auditory hair cells, a dearth of comprehensive knowledge still exists regarding the specific role played by epigenetic modifications in the auditory system, with a particular emphasis on their potential correlation with the function and development of the auditory system. In addition, these modifications have been linked to the regeneration of hair cells caused by using pharmaceutical inhibitors (e.g., inhibition of the Notch pathway) and genetic (e.g., induced Atoh1 expression) treatments, which can lead to regenerating hair cells and restoring hearing. Recent developments in targetable epigenome-editing tools, such as CRISPR, and direct reprogramming enable targeted genome editing. In addition, the emergence of organoids and epigenetic drugs presents novel prospects for hearing restoration by manipulating regeneration pathways, making them promising methods for future regenerative treatments for hair cells. The potential of epigenetic modifiers as viable targets for pharmacological manipulation is becoming evident. Future therapies aimed at hair cell regeneration are particularly beneficial because of their advantage of restricting drug exposure within the inner ear.
The evolutionary origins and ancestral features of septins

Published: June 2024

Septins are a family of membrane-associated cytoskeletal guanine-nucleotide binding proteins that play crucial roles in various cellular processes, such as cell division, phagocytosis, and organelle fission. Despite their importance, the evolutionary origins and ancestral function of septins remain unclear. In opisthokonts, septins form five distinct groups of orthologs, with subunits from multiple groups assembling into heteropolymers, thus supporting their diverse molecular functions. Recent studies have revealed that septins are also conserved in algae and protists, indicating an ancient origin from the last eukaryotic common ancestor. However, the phylogenetic relationships among septins across eukaryotes remained unclear. Here, we expanded the list of non-opisthokont septins, including previously unrecognized septins from glaucophyte algae. Constructing a rooted phylogenetic tree of 254 total septins, we observed a bifurcation between the major non-opisthokont and opisthokont septin clades. Within the non-opisthokont septins, we identified three major subclades: Group 6 representing chlorophyte green algae (6A mostly for species with single septins, 6B for species with multiple septins), Group 7 representing algae in chlorophytes, heterokonts, haptophytes, chrysophytes, and rhodophytes, and Group 8 representing ciliates. Glaucophyte and some ciliate septins formed orphan lineages in-between all other septins and the outgroup. Combining ancestral-sequence reconstruction and AlphaFold predictions, we tracked the structural evolution of septins across eukaryotes. In the GTPase domain, we identified a conserved GAP-like arginine finger within the G-interface of at least one septin in most algal and ciliate species. This residue is required for homodimerization of the single Chlamydomonas septin, and its loss coincided with septin duplication events in various lineages. The loss of the arginine finger is often accompanied by the emergence of the α0 helix, a known NC-interface interaction motif, potentially signifying the diversification of septin-septin interaction mechanisms from homo-dimerization to hetero-oligomerization. Lastly, we found amphipathic helices in all septin groups, suggesting that membrane binding is an ancestral trait. Coiled-coil domains were also broadly distributed, while transmembrane domains were found in some septins in Group 6A and 7. In summary, this study advances our understanding of septin distribution and phylogenetic groupings, shedding light on their ancestral features, potential function, and early evolution.
Research progress on the mechanism of exosome-mediated virus infection
Authors: Zhang Hanjia , Liu Xuanyi , Shi Jiuming , Su Xuan , Xie Jiayuan , Meng Qingfeng , Dong Hao
Published: June 2024

Exosomes are extracelluar vesicles that facilitate intercellular communication and are pivotal in post-transcriptional regulation within cellular gene regulatory networks, impacting pathogen dynamics. These vesicles serve as crucial regulators of immune responses, mediating cellular interactions and enabling the introduction of viral pathogenic regions into host cells. Exosomes released from virus-infected cells harbor diverse microRNAs (miRNAs), which can be transferred to recipient cells, thereby modulating virus infection. This transfer is a critical element in the molecular interplay mediated by exosomes. Additionally, the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) within exosomes plays a vital role in virus infection, with ESCRT components binding to viral proteins to facilitate virus budding. This review elucidates the roles of exosomes and their constituents in the invasion of host cells by viruses, aiming to shed new light on the regulation of viral transmission via exosomes.
Effect of electronic records on mortality among patients in hospital and primary healthcare settings: a systematic review and meta-analyses

Published: June 2024

Background

Electronic medical records or electronic health records, collectively called electronic records, have significantly transformed the healthcare system and service provision in our world. Despite a number of primary studies on the subject, reports are inconsistent and contradictory about the effects of electronic records on mortality. Therefore, this review examined the effect of electronic records on mortality.

Methods

The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses 2020 guideline. Six databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, were searched from February 20 to October 25, 2023. Studies that assessed the effect of electronic records on mortality and were published between 1998 and 2022 were included. Joanna Briggs Institute quality appraisal tool was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies. Narrative synthesis was performed to identify patterns across studies. Meta-analysis was conducted using fixed effect and random-effects models to estimate the pooled effect of electronic records on mortality. Funnel plot and Egger's regression test were used to assess for publication bias.

Results

Fifty-four papers were found eligible for the systematic review, of which 42 were included in the meta-analyses. Of the 32 studies that assessed the effect of electronic health record on mortality, eight (25.00%) reported a statistically significant reduction in mortality, 22 (68.75%) did not show a statistically significant difference, and two (6.25%) studies reported an increased risk of mortality. Similarly, among the 22 studies that determined the effect of electronic medical record on mortality, 12 (54.55%) reported a statistically significant reduction in mortality, and ten (45.45%) studies didn't show a statistically significant difference. The fixed effect and random effects on mortality were OR = 0.95 (95% CI: 0.93–0.97) and OR = 0.94 (95% CI: 0.89–0.99), respectively. The associated I-squared was 61.5%. Statistical tests indicated that there was no significant publication bias among the studies included in the meta-analysis.

Conclusion

Despite some heterogeneity among the studies, the review indicated that the implementation of electronic records in inpatient, specialized and intensive care units, and primary healthcare facilities seems to result in a statistically significant reduction in mortality. Maturity level and specific features may have played important roles.

Universal machine learning approach to volcanic eruption forecasting using seismic features
Authors: Rey-Devesa Pablo , Carthy Joe , Titos Manuel , Prudencio Janire , Ibáñez Jesús M. , Benítez Carmen
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Volcano seismology has successfully predicted several eruptions and includes many reliable methods that have been adopted extensively by volcanic observatories; however, there are several problems that still lack solutions. Meanwhile, the overwhelming success of data-driven models to solve predictive complex real-world problems positions them as an effective addition to the monitoring systems deployed in volcanological observatories.

Methods: By applying signal processing techniques on seismic records, we extracted four different seismic features, which usually change their trend when the system is approaching an eruptive episode. We built a temporal matrix with these parameters then defined a label for each temporal moment according to the real state of the volcanic activity (Unrest, Pre-Eruptive, Eruptive). To solve the remaining problem developing early warning systems that are transferable between volcanoes, we applied our methodology to databases associated with different volcanic systems, including data from both explosive and effusive episodes, recorded at several volcanic scenarios with open and closed conduits: Mt. Etna, Bezymianny, Volcán de Colima, Mount St. Helens and Augustine.

Results and Discussion: This work proposes the use of Neural Networks to classify the volcanic state of alert based on the behaviour of these features, providing a probability of having an eruption. This approach offers a Machine Learning tool for probabilistic short-term volcanic eruption forecasting, transferable to different volcanic systems. This innovative method classifies the state of volcanic hazard in near real-time and estimates a probability of the occurrence of an eruption, resulting in a period from at least hours to several days to forecast an eruption.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to identify literacy competencies, self-efficacy, and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) among teacher leaders (TL) as the foundation for developing a model of sustained professional development. The survey involved 153 respondents, TL at the junior high school level in Riau and Riau Islands. Instruments were used to measure literacy skills (environmental, numerical, digital) and TPK employed multiple-choice tests. The questions underwent item analysis, piloted with 30 respondents. A questionnaire measured self-efficacy, the role of TL, and the implementation of the Emancipated Curriculum. Descriptive data analysis determined demographic characteristics and the average competence of TL. Inferential analysis to identify relationships between variables used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Lisrel 8.80 software. Research results reveal that the competence level of TL (literacy, TPK, and self-efficacy) ranges from moderate (60.60) to high (91.20). Based on SEM analysis, the developed model meets the criteria as a well-fitting model. Validation results show that all loading factors are > 0.5, t statistics > 1.96. This study recommends the development of a TL Professional Development model with the acronym MOST (mentor, observe, support, take action) as stages for their professional development to fulfill the mission of moving, acting, and driving the implementation of the Emancipated Curriculum in Indonesia.
Associations of oxidative balance score with hyperuricemia and gout among American adults: a population-based study
Authors: Wang Kai , Wu Jinyi , Deng Minggang , Nie Jiaqi , Tao Fengxi , Li Qingwen , Luo Xin , Xia Fang
Published: June 2024

Objective

The current study aimed to assess the relationships between oxidative balance score (OBS) and OBS subclasses (dietary and lifestyle OBS) with risks of hyperuricemia (HUA) and gout among American adults.

Methods

Participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2018 were initially recruited and then the final sample was restricted to adults without missing values about serum uric acid, gout, OBS, and covariates. Rao-Scott adjusted chi-square test and analysis of variance were utilized to compare the baseline characteristics in adults of different quartiles of OBS, while the weighted stepped logistic regression models were used to explore the associations of overall, dietary, and lifestyle OBS with the risks of HUA and gout. Weighted restricted cubic spline analyses were conducted to explore the nonlinear dose-response associations.

Results

The final sample consisted of 22,705 participants aged 20 years and older, which was representative of approximately 197.3 million non-institutionalized American adults. HUA and gout prevalence decreased with OBS quartiles. Compared with adults in the first quartile of OBS, those in the second (OR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.72–0.99), third (OR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.58–0.85), and fourth (OR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.38–0.61) quartiles of OBS had reduced risks of hyperuricemia. Similarly, adults in the second (OR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.51–0.97) quartile of OBS was associated with lower gout risk in comparison to adults in the lowest quartile. Regarding OBS subclasses, dietary and lifestyle OBS were both negatively correlated with the risk of HUA, and only higher lifestyle OBS was significantly associated with lower gout risk. Furthermore, the subgroup analyses and interaction effects also substantiated similar effects. Significant nonlinear dose-response relationships were observed between overall, dietary, and lifestyle OBS with HUA risk as well as that of lifestyle OBS with gout risk.

Conclusion

This study strongly suggests the significant negative associations of OBS with HUA and gout in American adults and provides a dietary and lifestyle guideline to reduce the risks.
The circadian syndrome is a better predictor for psoriasis than the metabolic syndrome via an explainable machine learning method — the NHANES survey during 2005–2006 and 2009–2014
Authors: Gu Yunfan , Ye Xinglan , Zhao Wenting , He Shiwei , Zhang Weiming , Zeng Xianyu
Published: June 2024

Objective

To explore the association between circadian syndrome (CircS) and Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) with psoriasis. Compare the performance of MetS and CircS in predicting psoriasis.

Methods

An observational study used data from the NHANES surveys conducted in 2005–2006 and 2009–2014. We constructed three multiple logistic regression models to investigate the relationship between MetS, CircS, and their components with psoriasis. The performance of MetS and CircS in predicting psoriasis was compared using five machine-learning algorithms, and the best-performing model was explained via SHAP. Then, bidirectional Mendelian randomization analyses with the inverse variance weighted (IVW) as the primary method were employed to determine the causal effects of each component.

Result

A total of 9,531 participants were eligible for the study. Both the MetS (OR = 1.53, 95%CI: 1.07–2.17, P = 0.02) and CircS (OR = 1.40, 95%CI: 1.02–1.91, P = 0.039) positively correlated with psoriasis. Each CircS algorithmic model performs better than MetS, with Categorical Features+Gradient Boosting for CircS (the area under the precision-recall curve = 0.969) having the best prediction effect on psoriasis. Among the components of CircS, elevated blood pressure, depression symptoms, elevated waist circumference (WC), and short sleep contributed more to predicting psoriasis. Under the IVW methods, there were significant causal relationships between WC (OR = 1.52, 95%CI: 1.34−1.73, P = 1.35e-10), hypertension (OR = 1.68, 95%CI: 1.19−2.37, P = 0.003), depression symptoms (OR = 1.39, 95%CI: 1.17−1.65, P = 1.51e-4), and short sleep (OR = 2.03, 95%CI: 1.21–3.39, p = 0.007) with psoriasis risk.

Conclusion

CircS demonstrated superior predictive ability for prevalent psoriasis compared to MetS, with elevated blood pressure, depression symptoms, and elevated WC contributing more to the prediction.
A dynamic reconfiguration model and method for load balancing in the snow-shaped distribution network

Published: June 2024

The snow-shaped distribution network (SDN) is a cable distribution network composed of eight (or six) 10 kV feeders from four (or three) substations in a regular connection. Compared with the traditional 10 kV distribution network, SDN can support a wide range of load transfer among six or eight feeders. Aiming at the problem of load spatial-temporal unbalanced condition caused by the integration of distributed generators (DGs) and different load types in different feeders, this paper proposes a dynamic reconfiguration strategy for load balancing in SDN considering DGs and energy storage system (ESS). Firstly, the basic structure of SDN is analyzed and the power flow model for its dynamic reconfiguration is developed. Secondly, the dynamic reconfiguration optimization model for load balancing in SDN considering DGs and ESS is proposed to utilize the load transfer capability to mitigate the load unbalanced condition and reduce active power loss. Thirdly, the original non-convex model is converted into a mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP) model by applying the second-order cone relaxation and the big-M method, which is solved by CPLEX solver. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed model and method are verified by an actual case in Tianjin and IEEE 33-node system. The analysis results show that the proposed method can significantly alleviate the load unbalanced spatial-temporal distribution and improve the economic efficiency by regulating the operation of SDN including ESS optimization and dynamic reconfiguration.

The interturn short circuit fault is one of the common faults in power transformers. At present, research on interturn short circuit faults focuses on high, medium, and low voltage windings, while there is relatively little research on interturn short circuit in regulating windings. Specifically, there is a lack of reported studies on the transient electromagnetic processes, magnetic field distribution, and electromagnetic force characteristics of interturn short circuits in regulating windings unconnected to the circuit. This study presents an actual fault scenario involving interturn short circuits occurring in the untapped portion of the regulating windings of a specific power transformer. A field-circuit coupled model was established to analyze the transient electromagnetic processes during the fault, and the model’s effectiveness was validated by comparing its results with actual fault recording data. Additionally, the magnetic field distribution and electromagnetic force characteristics during the fault were analyzed, and discussions were carried out regarding various ratios of short-circuit turns in the regulating windings. The results indicate that even when an interturn short circuit occurs in the portion of the regulating winding that is not connected to the circuit, the current in the short-circuited turns can reach several tens of times the rated value. Additionally, the leakage magnetic field and the electromagnetic force experienced by the short-circuited ring also increase significantly. The short-circuit ratio has a significant impact on the current of the short-circuited ring, leakage magnetic field intensity, and electromagnetic force. This study contributes to a better understanding of the impact of interturn short-circuit faults in the untapped portion of the regulating windings, offering crucial technical support for fault diagnosis and prevention of power transformers.

Using data on Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2021, we employ the difference-in-differences (DID) estimation method as an exogenous impact of a quasi-natural experiment and analyze the effects of carbon risk on corporate financialization. We observe that increased carbon risk decreases with corporate financialization, which is more pronounced for financially constrained and state-owned enterprises. Furthermore, we find that carbon risk increases green innovation, which restrains corporate financialization. Our research not only enriches the relevant influence on carbon risk and corporate financialization but also provides Chinese evidence for the Porter hypothesis.
Effect of ridge-furrow with plastic mulching and organic amendment on fertilizer-N fate in maize-soil system: A 15N isotope tracer study
Authors: Meng Qiang , Liu Jingxia , Cao Zhixiang
Published: June 2024

The implementation of ridge-furrow with plastic film mulching has the potential to enhance crop yields and water productivity, particularly in black soil regions. However, the synergistic impacts of combining ridge-furrow with plastic mulching alongside with various organic amendments on maize yield and nitrogen fertilizer utilization efficiency remain unclear. Using 15N-labeled tracing technology, we investigated fertilizer-N recovery of maize, distribution, fertilizer-N residual in soil, and nitrogen fertilizer loss across six treatments: non-mulched flat with non-organic amendment (FN), non-mulched flat with straw amendment (FS), non-mulched flat with biochar amendment (FBC), ridge-furrow with plastic mulching without organic amendment (RN), ridge-furrow with plastic mulching with straw amendment (RS), and ridge-furrow with plastic mulching with biochar amendment (RBC). The results revealed that ridge-furrow with plastic mulching in comparison to non-mulched flat, led to a significant increase in maize dry biomass accumulation, yield, and the rate of fertilizer-N recovery in maize (NRE) by 8.57%–12.36%, 10.08%–15.13%, and 2.22%–3.18%, respectively. The rate of fertilizer-N residual in soil (NSR) and fertilizer-N loss (NLS) decreased by 0.5%–2.04% and 0.78%–3.21%, respectively. In addition, the straw and biochar amendments under different planting methods promoted NRE in plants and NSR in soil, reducing NLS. Compared with non-organic amendment treatments, the inclusion of straw and biochar amendments resulted in increased NRE and NRS by 1.64%–6.20% and 0.12%–2.18%, while NLS decreased by 1.76%–7.78%. Biochar amendment treatment exhibited significantly higher nitrogen accumulation and NRE compared to the straw amendment treatment. Overall, ridge-furrow with plastic mulching combined with biochar amendment proved to be an effective method to enhance nitrogen fertilizer utilization of maize in the black soil regions, improving both yield and nitrogen fertilizer utilization efficiency.
Downed woody debris varies with climate and harvesting treatment in Douglas-fir forests of British Columbia, Canada
Authors: Roach Winnifred Jean , Simard Suzanne W. , Snyder Eva N.
Published: June 2024

Downed woody debris is important for biodiversity, forest regeneration, and carbon, nutrient, and water cycling, and past studies have examined how the coarse fraction is affected by climate or harvesting. In a field study in Douglas-fir dominated forests, we expand existing knowledge by investigating the interacting effects of climate and harvesting on downed woody debris of all sizes. Across a 900-km long latitudinal gradient in British Columbia, we found that coarse woody debris (CWD, >7.5 cm diameter) in humid climates contained 700% greater carbon stocks, had 500% greater volume, and was more diverse than in arid climates. Pre- and post-harvest, small and fine woody debris comprised a higher proportion of total woody debris carbon stocks in arid than moist climates, especially after clearcutting and seed tree treatments. Harvesting generally decreased total CWD volume, but it was not depleted on any site. Harvesting substantially reduced the volume of large, highly decomposed CWD except at the two most arid sites, and losses of large CWD increased with increasing tree removal. These losses were accompanied by a pulse of fresh, small diameter CWD and SWD which are short-term organic nutrient sources but have less habitat value than larger pieces and contribute to fuel loads. Because CWD was less abundant in arid than humid mature forests, care must be taken on arid sites to avoid its depletion during harvesting, especially clearcutting, where future woody debris inputs will not occur for decades.
