From Marginalia to Bookends: Industrialization, Capitalism, and Advertising in Hungary’s Modern Literary Journal, Nyugat (1908–41)
Authors: Lo Bello Maya J.
Published: January 2023

This paper examines Nyugat [West], the premier journal of modern Hungarian literature published from 1908 to 1941 and edited by Ernő Osvát (1876–1929), Ignotus (1869–1949), and Miksa Fenyő (1877–1972) until 1917. Although Hungarian scholarship has detailed the role played by Osvát and Ignotus, Fenyő’s contribution to this triumvirate has received less attention, a lack that may have hindered literary historians’ understanding of the more widespread, sociological reasons underlying Nyugat’s long-lasting presence in a highly competitive book market. I argue that examining Fenyő’s editorial position demands the inclusion of marginalia, the term this study utilizes to denote the factory advertisements, banking-related notifications, military supply announcements, railway schedules, and eulogies that display Fenyő’s ties to the industrial lobby organization GyOSz — the National Association of Hungarian Industrialists, also referred to as ‘the Association’ — within the pages of a journal dedicated to promoting fin-de-siècle aestheticism. Exploring what Bernard Lahire would describe as Fenyő’s ‘double life’ thereby paves the way to theorizing what beliefs and ‘rules of the game’ (illusio) may have determined the connection between Hungary’s wealthiest industrialists and Nyugat during a period when the journal’s editors and authors sought to attain both authorial and financial autonomy.

Authors: Morales-Yañez Isaac , Rodríguez-Estrella Ricardo , Gatica-Colima Ana Bertha
Published: February 2023

El conocimiento sobre la selección de sitios de anidación en aves rapaces es uno de los factores críticos para realizar cualquier manejo de una población para su conservación. El águila real generalmente elige paredes de roca para anidar, y esta selección está influenciada por las características naturales y antrópicas del paisaje. En México el estudio del águila real es importante debido a que tiene un valor cultural por ser un símbolo patrio y biológico por regular las poblaciones de sus presas, además, se encuentra listada en la Norma Oficial Mexicana 059-SEMARNAT-2010 en la categoría de amenazada y existe escasa información científica publicada sobre su ecología y biología en nuestro país. Por ello, se elaboró un estudio que determinó las variables de hábitat que influyen en los patrones de selección de sitios de anidación del águila real en Janos, Chihuahua. Se buscaron sitios de anidación de águila real y sitios semejantes sin presencia de la especie para tomar los datos de dichas variables; con esta información se analizaron los datos a través de modelos lineales generalizados, tomando como variable de respuesta la presencia y ausencia de nidos y las características del hábitat de los sitios como variables predictoras. Se localizaron 15 sitios de anidación y 16 sitios sin nidos; de 15 variables medidas solo existió diferencia estadística significativa en la altura de las paredes de roca (W = 44.5, p = 0.003001). El modelo con mejor ajuste tuvo un valor de AICc de 20.6, explicando el 68% de la variabilidad de los datos e incluye las variables de altura de las paredes de roca y la rugosidad del terreno, siendo esta última estadísticamente significativa (p =0.0279). La rugosidad del terreno y la altura de la pared de la roca que se presentaron en el mejor modelo reflejando la importancia de la topografía para la selección de sitios de anidación que puede proporcionar aislamiento de perturbaciones para las águilas.

Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study is to develop an effective training model for practising basic tennis groundstrokes for children aged 8-12 years old based on the action method coaching framework. Adopting the research and development stages as suggested by Borg and Gall (2003), this study included such stages as conducting preliminary research, identifying the theoretical bases for the model, designing the model, developing the components of exercises, and validating the finished model. The present study employed several methods including in-depth interviews, literature studies, as well as Delphi method to seek experts’ judgement. The data were analyzed by considerations of data reduction and thematic coding before the results were presented and conclusions were drawn. Additionally, this study also incorporated some close-ended questionnaire items and analyzed them by means of descriptive statistics to further confirm the findings. The findings suggest that the groundstroke training model based on the action method developed is declared feasible and approved for future small-scale field testing.

Published: January 2023

Mastering English language skills has been indispensable in every sphere of life and in every profession, and Information Technology (IT) as a field is no exception as it perpetually develops and changes. This is a survey study aiming at identifying English language needs of IT specialists working both domestically and abroad, by involving 85 alumni form three Kazakhstani IT institutes. The data were collected through a needs analysis questionnaire for post-secondary level ESP course and were analysed through descriptive percentages. The results of the study revealed that reading, listening, and speaking were the most essential skills for IT professionals for successful performance at work. Reading technical documentations and professional blogs aids specialists in solving common challenges in their industry, whereas listening and watching professionally oriented videos increases their qualification. Additionally, the study implies that there may have been a mismatch between university-level ESP curricula and professional English language proficiency.
Early childhood cognitive stimulation from working and non-working mothers
Authors: Samad Sulaiman , Haris Hasnawi , Suardi Suardi
Published: January 2023

This article reports on the results of an in-depth analysis of the intentional daily behavior performed by mothers in facilitating the cognitive development of a child aged under five years old. This study employed a descriptive design. It involved 147 mothers (72 working mothers and 75 non-working mothers) who were selected using the purposive sampling technique (non-probability sampling). Research data were gathered using a questionnaire. The questionnaire contained two major components that evaluated a mother’s presence as the designer of the home environment (two indicators) and cognitive stimulation provided by a mother at home (six indicators). The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics making use of the Microsoft Excel 16.10 version application. The results suggest that employment status does not influence a mother’s presence as the designer of the home environment. In other words, both working and non-working mothers have provided the best home environment for their child's cognitive development. However, regarding the fulfillment of the child's cognitive development needs, non-working mothers are able to supply more adequate stimulation than working mothers.

Published: January 2023

While physical activity can be one of the daily supports for good health that can help the educational process, the present study aims to determine the relationship between physical activity and academic achievement. It was quantitative correlational research involving 1045 students from 21 elementary schools (ESs) selected through proportional random sampling. Physical activity was measured by using the Assessment of Physical Activity Levels Questionnaire (APALQ), and academic achievement was investigated through the average scores of the previous semester's report card. The study revealed three categories of physical activity, namely ‘very active’, ‘moderately active’, and ‘inactive’. Less than 30 ES students (3%) were reported ‘very active’, 460 students (44%) were ‘moderately active’, and more than half (53%) were ‘inactive’. With a percentage of 33%, the overall average result of physical activity gained was 348, meaning that the average increase fell within the moderate range. While having a sig. value greater than 0.05 (0.529), the study suggests that there is no significant correlation between physical activity and academic performance. The study's weak correlation coefficient of 0.020 involves drawing the inference that there is no discernable relationship between physical activity and academic achievement on elementary school students.
Estimating CO2 Emissions for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Using Life Cycle Assessment: A Case Study in Rio de Janeiro City
Authors: Machado Christiano Lima , Andrade Carlos Eduardo Sanches de
Published: January 2023

The amount of greenhouse gases has been growing dramatically in recent decades, producing global warming and causing climate change that affects the entire planet. To mitigate these emissions, several nations have committed to implementing measures to reduce emissions of these gases, with carbon dioxide being the main one. The transport sector is one of the leading carbon emitters. It needs to be the object of attention from government authorities and private companies so that sustainable solutions are planned and implemented to reduce the fossil fuel consumption. The emerging solutions point to implementing public transport in systems that use large-capacity vehicles, replacing conventional cars and buses. However, such systems require constructing a complex infrastructure, which will also produce emissions. Thus, it is necessary to balance the emissions produced by the new system with the emissions avoided by replacing the old system, for a clear quantification of the carbon reduction. This balance is best accomplished using the system lifecycle assessment approach. This case study presents the life cycle assessment, according to ISO 14040 standards, of the BRT system implemented in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil based on real data collected during the construction of the system. The results show that the system will take 16 years to compensate for the emissions produced, and in the life cycle, the projected reduction is about half a million tons of CO2. The study indicates a path that can be useful to planners seeking to reduce carbon in the public transport sector.

Authors: Ranney Megan , Marshall Brandon D L , Langdon Kirsten , Wiehe Sarah , Aalsma Matthew , Jacka Brendan , Peachey Alyssa , Beaudoin Francesca
Published: January 2023

Background

Increasing numbers of opioid overdoses have been observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, likely reflecting the pandemic’s multiple effects on this already vulnerable population. People in recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD) have reported disproportionate psychosocial distress and isolation, as well as significant disruptions in access to treatment, including peer support, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Peer support is a key component of many evidence-based OUD recovery programs; it improves recovery capital, treatment engagement, and perceived social support and reduces psychosocial distress, particularly when used in conjunction with other evidence-based treatments, such as medication for OUD.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate a novel mobile peer support app platform among a national sample of individuals in recovery from OUD as an adjunct to usual care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

Individuals residing in the United States who are aged ≥18 years; own a smartphone; and self-report being in recovery for an OUD, being in treatment for an OUD (ie, in the past 30 days received prescribed methadone, naltrexone, or buprenorphine), or currently receiving some form of assisted recovery support (n=1300) will be recruited through online, targeted social media advertisements. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) to a mobile peer recovery support intervention utilizing a novel smartphone-based app or to a control. Participants will complete 1 baseline survey and then a follow-up survey 1, 3, and 6 months after randomization. The primary aim of recovery capital will be determined by the change in recovery capital between study groups over the 6-month study period. We will also examine treatment engagement by using administrative data from a subset of individuals (n=650) residing in Rhode Island and Indiana.

Results

As of June 2022, we enrolled 43 participants.

Conclusions

If this mobile app demonstrates efficacy among a large national sample of patients, it has the potential to augment existing treatment programs, improve recovery capital, and reduce the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on this vulnerable population.

Conflicts of Interest

None declared.

Authors: Saeed Mozamel M. , Alsharidah Mohammed
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

The Internet of Things (IoT) functions through a wireless medium and holds the capability of transmitting data over the network without the considerable need for human interaction. The Covid-19 pandemic outbreak has transformed the functioning of healthcare centers and other associated circles. The remnants of the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, like long Covid or post- Covid-19 syndrome, have necessitated the need to observe, detect and control specific healthcare fields to save lives. Because of this, these centers put in great effort and spent considerable resources on developing portable, cost-effective, and user-friendly IoT. The IoT-based systems can help continuously survey the population to detect any variants of the Covid-19 virus and to gather specific patient data in categorizing post-Covid-19 syndrome patients. This paper discusses the applications of IoT during a pandemic and post-pandemic too.

OBJECTIVE

This paper discusses the applications of IoT during a pandemic and post-pandemic too.

METHODS

The study also proposes a model based on IoT for handling population surveys during the present post-pandemic situation.

RESULTS

The Internet of Things concept is a revolutionary technological advancement closely linked with the wave of the ICT revolution. IoT assists the PHS technology in providing earlier and safer preventive care with minimum medical costs, better patient-oriented exercise, and greater sustainability.

CONCLUSIONS

IoT has allowed PHS to have the ability to improve daily lives in many revolutionarily different ways.

Published: January 2023

Abstract: The purpose of this project is to build an attendance management system based on facial recognition features. In most educational institutions, the attendance of the students is taken manually, using an attendance sheet, by the faculty member in a classroom. The objective of this project is to minimize the time consumed in the process of monitoring the attendance of the students and to tackle the problem of proxy by almost eliminating the use of paper in the attendance taking process. Manually recorded attendance can be easily tampered with and manipulated. It is also not very easy to verify manual attendance. So, we are proposing a method that can estimate the attendance more precisely using all the results of face recognition, which are obtained by continuous observation. In this system, the enrollment of students will be a one-time process, Students may have their roll number or phone number as their unique ID, which should be unique for every student. Their images will be stored in the database. The attendance of the students will be tracked automatically for every hour. This system will overcome the problems that exist in manual or traditional attendance management systems.

Published: January 2023

Abstract: Rocker bogie is important for conducting in-situ scientific analysis of objectives that are separated by many meters to tens of kilometers. Current mobility designs are complex using many wheels or legs. They are open to mechanical failure caused by the harsh environment on mars. A six wheeled rover capable of traversing rough terrain using an efficient high degree of mobility suspension system. The primary mechanical feature of the rocker bogie design is its drive train simplicity which is accomplished by using only two motors for mobility. Both motors are located inside the body where thermal variation is kept to a minimum, increasing reliability and efficiency. Six wheels are used because there are few obstacles on natural terrain that require both front wheels of the rover to climb simultaneously. A series of mobility experiments in the agriculture land, rough roads, inclined, stairs and obstacles surfaces concluded that rocker bogie can achieve some distance traverses on field

Published: January 2023

Abstract: Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of soft denture liners on mandibular ridge resorption in complete denture wearers after two years of use. Methodology: The study included 32 patients ranging in age from 35 to 65 years old. Those patients were completely edentulous with well formed ridges, Class I relation and no medical problem. Thirty two selected patients were divided into two groups, namely Experimental group and Control group. Control group (n = 16, 8 males and 8 females) received conventional maxillary and mandibular complete dentures. Whereas in Experimental group, (n = 16, 8 males and 8 females) silicone lined lower complete denture were made. Three panoramic radiographs (orthopantomogram [OPG]) were taken for each participant to assess the amount of bone resorption; immediately, one year, and two years after denture insertion. For comparing two groups at three different time intervals, analysis of variance (ANOVA) two way with post-hoc tests was used. A statistically significant pvalue of less than 0.05 was considered. Results: After denture delivery, there was significant change in bone height in all patients ( p < 0.001) . The comparison of bone height between the two groups in different regions at different time intervals revealed a significant difference in bone levels at baseline to one year and baseline to two years. However, Experimental group experienced 50% less bone loss than control group over a two-year period. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the current study, it can be inferred that use of soft liners helps in reducing residual ridge resorption significantly when compared with conventional denture material.
Dos proyectos de escala metropolitana de fin de siglo XX en México: la Plaza Tapatía en Guadalajara y la Macro Plaza en Monterrey
Authors: Ochoa-Vega Alejandro
Published: January 2023

This article analyzes the experiences of two projects which had a major urban impact in the 1980s on two Mexican cities, Guadalajara and Monterrey. In both cases, the background behind urban planning and the different projects to regenerate the historic city centers are discussed. The considerations of the local authorities regarding the tired and deteriorated image of the old downtown area are also presented, outlining the large-scale interventions that involved the demolition of colonial and 19th-century buildings and spaces. The results are contradictory: on one hand, a large public space was gained, but at the same time, the original city layout and many heritage buildings were lost. Both projects were the result of authoritarian political decisions, by governor decrees, without any consultation with the inhabitants of Guadalajara and Monterrey.
Los parques biblioteca en Colombia, o las bibliotecas en los parques. Antecedentes de un discurso político y arquitectónico
Authors: Garcia-Ramirez William
Published: January 2023

This paper is the result of research whose objective was to investigate the genesis of Library Parks as an expression of political and architectural discourse in Colombia. For this purpose, a methodology based on a comparative historiography of the phenomenon of libraries and educational buildings built in public parks as a government policy at the beginning of the 20th century, and later, in the interstice between the 20th and 21st centuries, is proposed. The conclusions show that, contrary to the general perception, the library park model is not an ex novo phenomenon of the contemporary world. In this sense, the results evidence not only the identification of a set of antecedent projects of this phenomenon, built between 1932 and 1940, but also a set of existing correlations between political and architectural discourses, as a predetermining reflection of a system of thought that gave rise to the library park model.
Tempo e espaço: As origens portuguesas nas decisões urbanas de Oscar Niemeyer
Authors: De Souza-Noto Felipe
Published: January 2023

Did urbanism in Brazil appropriate the urban tradition to the same extent as pioneering modern architecture? This article builds an answer to this question, which goes through the theoretical unraveling of the definition of the term space from the recognition of two historically accepted conceptions. It starts with a brief presentation of the main genealogies and principles of these conceptions, as methodological support to read their impact on the work of Oscar Niemeyer. It looks at the design strategies used in two works of the architect: the project for Praça XV in Rio de Janeiro (1991) and the urban complex of Pena Furada, in Portugal (1965). With notions borrowed from other disciplinary fields an interpretation of the incorporation of time as a mediating element of spatial experience is proposed: as a literal landmark - printed in concrete references to tradition - and as a generating element of spatial decisions - when incorporated into the experience of displacement.
SISPRO: La base de datos administrativa del sistema de salud colombiano
Authors: Rosselli Diego , Pantoja-Ruiz Camila
Published: January 2023

Colombia es reconocida en la región por la universalidad tanto de su sistema de salud como de sus sistemas de información. Si bien el Sistema de Información Integral para la Protección Social (SISPRO) tiene como finalidad cumplir una función administrativa dentro del sistema de salud, se están reconociendo sus usos en investigación. SISPRO está compuesto por varias bases de datos diferentes: las estadísticas vitales, el registro individual de prestaciones en salud (RIPS) y la clasificación única de trámites en salud (CUPS), entre otras. Las estadísticas vitales registran los nacimientos y las defunciones, junto con la ubicación geográfica, la edad de la madre o la causa de la muerte, entre otra información. Los RIPS son la base de datos más utilizada en investigación en salud, ya que permiten establecer el número de contactos que las personas tienen con el sistema de salud (más de 2 mil millones en el último quinquenio) y conocer los principales diagnósticos registrados en cada uno de estos contactos. Con RIPS, ha sido posible establecer la prevalencia de esclerosis múltiple o estimar la carga de enfermedad de la epilepsia en Colombia. RIPS también tiene información útil sobre el costo de la atención médica. Finalmente, los CUPS permiten cuantificar los procedimientos de salud, por ejemplo, podemos estimar en 1879 el número de procedimientos de trombólisis de vasos intracraneales en Colombia entre 2017 y 2021. La calidad de la información es una gran limitación en toda base de datos administrativa, sin embargo, SISPRO representa una gran oportunidad para utilizar los registros oficiales para generar conocimiento, comprender la distribución geográfica de las enfermedades y contribuir al diseño de políticas públicas en nuestra población.
Síndrome de Tolosa-Hunt una extraña causa de oftalmoplejía dolorosa: reporte de caso
Authors: Velásquez-Trujillo Luis Armando , Zúñiga-Escobar Gonzalo , Vera-Vega Omaris , Montaño-Lozada Juan Manuel
Published: January 2023

INTRODUCCIÓN:
El síndrome de Tolosa-Hunt (STH) se caracteriza por una oftalmoplejía dolorosa, de etiología desconocida. De acuerdo con los hallazgos histopatológicos, se ha descrito la formación de un tejido granulomatoso en los senos cavernosos.

PRESENTACIÓN DEL CASO:
Una mujer de 22 años con cuadro clínico de 3 semanas de evolución caracterizado por cefalea hemicránea derecha, dolor ocular derecho y diplopía. Su examen físico evidenció la existencia de una oftalmoplejía derecha; la resonancia magnética (RM) de silla turca demostró engrosamiento y realce en la región del seno cavernoso derecho. Se presenta el caso clínico de una causa inusual de oftalmoplejía dolorosa.

DISCUSIÓN:
La oftalmoplejía dolorosa tiene múltiples diagnósticos diferenciales que incluyen causas neoplá-sicas, vasculares, inflamatorias e infecciosas que pueden afectar el seno cavernoso o la fisura orbitaria superior. El STH, que es una causa rara de oftalmoplejía dolorosa, sigue siendo un diagnóstico de exclusión. Por otra parte, se caracteriza por tener una adecuada respuesta al tratamiento con glucocorticoides.

CONCLUSIÓN:
La negatividad en las investigaciones de las etiologías de oftalmoplejía, los hallazgos imagenológicos en la RM y la adecuada respuesta cínica con el uso de los corticoides permiten confirmar el diagnóstico. No debería ser necesaria la biopsia del seno cavernoso ante la sospecha de STH con adecuada respuesta al manejo corticoide.

Assessment of Agenda Setting With ACGME Milestones in Family Medicine Residents
Authors: Caldwell Catherine , Rahim Muhammed A. , Muneem Abraar , Nasir Munima , Parascando Jessica , Mendez-Miller Megan , Radico Julie A.
Published: January 2023

Background and Objectives: Family medicine residents are scored via milestones created by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) on various clinical domains, including communication. Communication involves a resident’s ability to set an agenda, but this is rarely taught in formal education. Our study aimed to examine the relationship between ACGME Milestone achievement and ability to set a visit agenda, as measured by direct observation (DO) forms.
Methods: We examined biannual (December, June) ACGME scores for family medicine residents at an academic institution from 2015-2020. Using faculty DO scores, we rated residents on six items corresponding to agenda setting. We used Spearman and Pearson correlations and two-sample paired t tests to analyze results.
Results: We analyzed a total of 246 ACGME scores and 215 DO forms. For first-year residents, we found significant, positive associations between agenda-setting and the total Milestone score (r[190]=.15, P=.034) in December, and in individual (r[190]=.17, P=.020) and total communication scores (r[186]=.16, P=.031), in June. However, for first-year residents, we found no significant correlations with communication scores in December or in the total milestone scores in June. We found significant progression for consecutive years in both communication milestones (t=-15.06, P<0.001) and agenda setting (t=-12.26, P<.001).
Conclusions: The significant associations found in agenda setting with both ACGME total communication and Milestone scores for first-year residents only, suggests that agenda setting may be fundamental in early resident education.

Numerical study on evaluation of environmental DNA approach for estimating fish abundance and distribution in semi-enclosed bay
Authors: Park Seongsik , Yoon Seokjin , Kim Kyunghoi
Published: January 2023

Although environmental DNA (eDNA) of aquatic species has been widely
explored, the quantitative assessments of fish remain a challenge. eDNA
approach proposed by Fukaya et al. (2021) gave a reliable abundance (the
total fish population in the study area) estimates of coastal fish but
was not as useful for assessing spatial distribution because of fewer
eDNA samples relative to the study area. Hence, we evaluated the ability
of the eDNA approach to estimate the abundance and distribution of fish
in a semi-enclosed bay based on a numerical study. The evaluation was
conducted as a case study on the ability of the eDNA approach according
to the number of eDNA samples. Our study revealed that the eDNA approach
can reliably estimate fish abundance regardless of the number of eDNA
samples, if outliers of the fish density estimates are eliminated.
However, when estimating spatial distribution, significant estimates
were obtained only under those conditions wherein the eDNA concentration
was identified in more than 70% of the study area. Therefore, it is
necessary to explore other methodologies for broadly estimating eDNA
concentrations with fewer samples. We have confirmed that the eDNA
approach can reflect fish abundance but has limitations in estimating
fish distribution. From above results, we expect our results to provide
researchers with more insights into estimating the abundance and spatial
distribution of fish using eDNA.
Stomatal closure prevents xylem transport of green leaf volatiles and impairs their systemic function in plants
Authors: Maleki Feizollah A. , Seidl-Adams Irmgard , Fahimi Azadeh , Felton Gary , Tumlinson James
Published: January 2023

Plants perceive environmental stresses as whole organisms via distant
signals conveying danger messages through their vasculature. In parallel
to vascular transport, airborne plant volatile compounds, including
green leaf volatiles (GLVs), can bypass the lack of vascular connection.
However, some small volatile compounds move through the vasculature;
such vascular transport is little known about GLVs. Here we illustrate
GLV alcohols as solutes move within xylem vessels in Zea mays. We
describe GLV alcohols, including Z-3-hexenol and its isomer
E-3-hexenol, which is not synthesized in maize, is mobilized
through the transpiration stream via xylem vessels. Since transpiration
is mediated by stomatal aperture, closing stomata by two independent
methods diminishes the transport of GLV alcohol and its isomer. In
addition, lower transport of GLV alcohols impairs their function in
inducing terpenoid biosynthesis suggesting xylem transport of GLV
alcohols plays a significant role in their systemic function. Our study
not only shows that GLV alcohols can be transported in the xylem but
points to stomatal regulation as a mechanism that climatic factors such
as drought, heat, flooding, and high CO levels affect
systemic signaling functions of GLVs.
Two-layer modeling of IEEE 802.11x channel occupancy

Low power IoT communication signals (e.g., Bluetooth and ZigBee) may
seriously suffer from the presence of high-power co-channel interference
like wireless local area network (WLAN) signal. They may effectively
avoid WLAN interference by exploiting dynamic characteristics of WLAN
traffic. Representing the arrival/departure of WLAN users using an
M/M/m/m queueing structure, we consider the characterization of
large-scale dynamics of WLAN channel occupancy. We also consider the
characterization of small-scale dynamics of WLAN channel occupancy by
generating WLAN signal using a two-state semi-Markovian process.
Simulation results show that the proposed model generates WLAN signal
having similar statistical characteristics to those of real WLAN signal.
The question of proximity. Demographic ageing places the 15-minute-city theory under stress
Authors: Boukouras Efstathios
Published: February 2023

Some of the major future challenges in urban planning are related to
population ageing. Although the improvement of longevity can certainly
be regarded as a human development success, many issues emerge in
parallel, including social, economic, and spatial aspects. The Covid-19
pandemic experience and social distancing measures implemented have
highlighted the need for compact communities and neighborhoods and in
this context, urban theories promoting locality and accessibility have
gained significant momentum. This paper focuses especially on the
15-minute city concept and sets its core element, an isochrone of 15
minutes of walking under scrutiny, to highlight how ageing places urban
planning theories under stress. It tests the assumption that
time-oriented theories of accessibility which rely on population-wide
conventions may overestimate the mobility capacity and walking speeds of
older people, that may lead to fallacies in spatial analyses and urban
planning practice, especially in ageing societies. The findings suggest
that a 30% adjusted equivalent, such as a 20-minute convention for the
15-minute city, might be more appropriate for older age groups. This
contributes to the broader discussion about proximity and the walkable
city, regardless of whether it is based on a 5-, 10-, 15-, or 20-minute
model.
Exploring Groundwater Responses to the 2021 Drought and Atmospheric River Events across British Columbia, Canada
Authors: Nott Alexandre H. , Allen Diana M. , Hahm W. Jesse
Published: February 2023

Most studies on the impacts of extreme hydrometeorological events on
hydrological processes have focused primarily on surface water systems
rather than groundwater systems. This study explores and seeks to
untangle the complex nature of groundwater dynamics and resilience
across British Columbia (BC) in response to the 2021
heatwave-intensified drought and atmospheric rivers (ARs). Historically,
there have been many episodic drought events along with substantially
wet periods. However, 2021 marked an unprecedented year for the
immediate co-occurrence of intense and extreme drought and deluge. This
weather whiplash resulted in the lowest and highest groundwater levels
on record for many wells across BC. The record meteorological drought,
intensified by a 13-day heatwave in late June, affected the entire
province and lasted for over 50 days in the south coast region. This was
followed in November by the most intense ARs to make landfall on record
in southwestern BC. Groundwater hydrograph anomalies for 2021 were
computed relative to their short-term historical mean for 194 provincial
observation wells across the province. The 2021 anomalies showed a
limited but distinct range of responses to both the drought and ARs, and
cluster into three response groups, largely associated with their
respective hydroclimatic regime. Many coastal wells showed a strong
response to drought; however, nearly all wells in the southern interior
responded substantially, with groundwater levels significantly below
their historical range by late summer. Presently, groundwater levels
seem to have recovered across the province, especially on the coast.
This resiliency is attributed in part to the ARs that made landfall
since last year along with a particularly wet, La Niña winter. The
majority of coastal wells showed a much stronger signal to the ARs
compared to the interior or eastern BC wells, likely due to the more
rapid and intense rainfall experienced in southwestern BC. Groundwater
systems across BC were variably impacted by these hydrometeorological
extremes, showcasing the need for focused and area-specific approaches
to water allocation decisions in assuring sustainable withdrawal
practices.

Authors: Liu Linlin , Wang Shuanhong
Published: February 2023

This paper is devoted to the construction of Hom-Leibniz H-pseudoalgebras,
which unify Hom-Lie H-pseudoalgebras, Leibniz H-pseudoalgebras and
Hom-Leibniz algebras. Firstly, we give the construction theorem and obtain a
class of Hom-Leibniz H-pseudoalgebras. We also construct Hom- Leibniz
H-pseudoalgebras from different perspectives, including Leibniz
H-pseudoalgebras, Hom-Leibniz (resp. Hom-Lie, Hom-associative)
H-pseudoalgebras and their representations, Hom-Leibniz (resp.
Homassociative) algebras. Thenwegive some properties of the representations
of Hom-LeibnizH-pseudoalgebras. Finally, the annihilation algebras of
Hom-Leibniz H-pseudoalgebras are investigated.

Thyroid hormone (TH) has a profound effect on energy metabolism and systemic homeostasis. Adipose tissues are crucial for maintaining whole-body homeostasis; however, whether TH regulates systemic metabolic homeostasis through its action on adipose tissues is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that systemic administration of triiodothyronine (T3), the active form of TH, affects both inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) and whole-body metabolism. Taking advantage of the mouse model lacking adipocyte TH receptor (TR) α or TRβ, we show that TRβ is the major TR isoform that mediates T3 action on the expression of genes involved in multiple metabolic pathways in iWAT, including glucose uptake and use, de novo fatty acid synthesis, and both UCP1-dependent and -independent thermogenesis. Moreover, our results indicate that glucose-responsive lipogenic transcription factor in iWAT is regulated by T3, thereby being critically involved in T3-regulated glucose and lipid metabolism and energy dissipation. Mice with adipocyte TRβ deficiency are susceptible to diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysregulation, suggesting that TRβ in adipocytes may be a potential target for metabolic diseases.

Article Highlights

How thyroid hormone (TH) achieves its diverse biological activities in the regulation of metabolism is not fully understood. Whether TH regulates systemic metabolic homeostasis via its action on white adipose tissue is unclear. Adipocyte TH receptor (TR) β mediates the triiodothyronine effect on multiple metabolic pathways by targeting glucose-responsive lipogenic transcription factor in white adipose tissue; mice lacking adipocyte TRβ are susceptible to high-fat diet–induced metabolic abnormalities. TRβ in white adipocytes controls intracellular and systemic metabolism and may be a potential target for metabolic diseases.

Thyroid hormone (TH) has a profound effect on energy metabolism and systemic homeostasis. Adipose tissues are crucial for maintaining whole-body homeostasis, however, whether TH regulates systemic metabolic homeostasis through its action on the adipose tissues is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that systemic administration of triiodothyronine (T3), the active form of TH, affects both inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) and whole-body metabolism. Taking advantage of the mouse model lacking adipocyte TH receptor α (TRα) or β (TRβ) we show that TRβ is the major TR isoform that mediates the T3 action on the expression of genes involved in multiple metabolic pathways in iWAT, including glucose uptake and usage, de novo fatty acid synthesis, and both UCP1-dependent and -independent thermogenesis. Moreover, our results indicate that ChREBP in iWAT is regulated by T3, thereby being critically involved in T3-regulated glucose and lipid metabolism and energy dissipation. Meanwhile, mice with adipocyte TRβ deficiency are susceptible to diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysregulation, suggesting that TRβ in adipocytes may sever as a potential target for metabolic diseases.
