Prediction Model for Carbon Emissions in Hebei Province: An Empirical Study Based on Boosting Algorithm
Authors: Huo Yiming
Published: February 2025

In light of China’s ambitious "dual carbon" targets, accurate emission predictions are essential for effective reduction strategies. Traditional forecasting methods often fail to capture the complex nonlinear relationships in emission data, whereas Boosting algorithms enhance prediction accuracy by addressing these challenges. This study leverages Boosting algorithms, a state-of-the-art ensemble learning technique, to predict future carbon emissions in Hebei. By incorporating critical factors such as industrial output, energy consumption, and population dynamics, the study addresses the nonlinearities inherent in carbon emission data, which traditional forecasting models like ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) and RF (Random Forest) struggle to capture. The results demonstrate that the Boosting model significantly outperforms conventional approaches, yielding the most accurate and robust predictions. This research offers valuable insights for shaping targeted carbon reduction strategies in Hebei, supporting its efforts to meet its carbon peak target, and contributing to China’s broader climate objectives. The findings underscore the potential of advanced machine learning techniques to inform data-driven decision-making in the pursuit of sustainable development and carbon neutrality.

Published: February 2025

The cold resistance of grapevine (vitis vinifera L.) which is one of the most important economic fruit trees in the world is low. The grown distribution of grapevine was restricted by climate and other factors. Dehydrins (DHN) are a class of proteins that play an important role in plants’ defense against stress. The VyDHN1 was cloned from V. yeshanensis which is highly resistant to cold stress, but the function and related mechanism of this gene in response to cold stress in grapevine has not been elucidated yet. In this study, the genetic transformation system was successfully established using callus induced by exocarp tissue of table grape varieties (V. vinifera ‘Zaoxia’ and ‘87-1’) by agrobacterium-mediated method. The VyDHN1 gene was stably overexpressed into the callus and the physiological indicators of the transgenic callus were detected under cold stress. The study revealed that VyDHN1 overexpression can maintain the cell membrane stability of the transgenic callus of Zaoxia during cold stress which could improve the cold resistance of grapevine.
Band Gap and DOS in Multi-layer Graphene Systems
Authors: Zheng Sixun
Published: February 2025

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice, characterized by sp2 hybridization. It is a nanomaterial known for its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, making it ideal for the next generation of faster, thinner electronic devices. Notably, in 2018, researchers discovered that when two graphene layers are twisted at a specific “magic angle,” the material exhibits superconductivity at low temperatures, which arises from strong electron correlations in flat electronic bands. The unique properties of graphene, such as high electron mobility, tensile strength, and transparency, make it a promising material for various applications including flexible electronics, quantum computing, and advanced sensors. The material's potential to revolutionize industries like energy, electronics, and healthcare emphasizes the need for further research into its electronic behavior and stacking configurations. In this paper, we explore the multi-layer graphene systems with AB and ABC stacking, and their electronic properties including band structures and density of state (DOS). By applying tight-binding model to these systems, we conclude that both the band gaps and energy difference between DOS peaks can be widen by increasing the displacement fields.

Authors: FAROOQI A , SADAF S , BUTT MR
Published: February 2025

Effective intra-operative sedation is critical in pediatric surgeries to ensure patient comfort, hemodynamic stability, and efficient recovery. This study compared the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine and midazolam for intra-operative sedation in children undergoing inguinal hernia repair at Sheikh Zayed Medical College/Hospital, Rahim Yar Khan. Objective: To evaluate and compare sedation quality, hemodynamic stability, recovery time, and adverse events associated with dexmedetomidine and midazolam in pediatric patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 80 pediatric patients aged 2–12 years, randomly assigned to receive dexmedetomidine (Group D, n=40) or midazolam (Group M, n=40). Sedation depth was assessed using the Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS) at intervals during surgery. Hemodynamic parameters, recovery time, and adverse events such as bradycardia, hypotension, oxygen desaturation, and apnea were recorded. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, with a p-value ≤0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Sedation scores were significantly higher in Group D (mean RSS 4.5 ± 0.3) compared to Group M (3.8 ± 0.4, p<0.001). Group D demonstrated better hemodynamic stability, with a lower mean heart rate (85.2 ± 10.5 beats/min) than Group M (90.8 ± 11.2 beats/min, p=0.048), though with a slightly higher incidence of bradycardia (25% vs. 7.5%, p=0.032). Recovery time was significantly shorter in Group D (12.4 ± 3.2 minutes) compared to Group M (16.7 ± 4.1 minutes, p<0.001). Adverse events, including oxygen desaturation and apnea, were minimal and comparable between groups. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine provides superior sedation, better hemodynamic stability, and faster recovery compared to midazolam in pediatric patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair, with minimal adverse events. These findings support the use of dexmedetomidine as a safer and more effective sedative alternative in pediatric surgical settings.

The care provided to newborns, particularly preterm, low-birth-weight (LBW), and medically fragile infants, is a critical aspect of neonatal healthcare. Objective: The primary purpose of the study is to find the outcome of kangaroo mother care and conventional care methods. Methods: This randomised control trial was conducted at the Paediatric Department of Lyari General Hospital Karachi from September 2024 to February 2025. A total of 60 patients were included in the study, with 30 infants in each group—one group receiving Kangaroo Mother Care and the other receiving conventional care methods. Infants who were born preterm (before 37 weeks of gestation) or had low birth weight (less than 2500 grams) were included in the study. Infants with major congenital anomalies or those requiring surgical interventions were excluded. Results: Data were collected from 60 participants. There were no significant differences between the two groups across various characteristics: gender (15/15 male/female in KMC vs 16/14 in Conventional Care, p=0.87), mean gestational age (32.5 ± 2.1 weeks in KMC vs 32.3 ± 2.3 weeks in Conventional Care, p=0.78), mean birth weight (1800 ± 300 grams in KMC vs 1750 ± 350 grams in Conventional Care, p=0.65), age at enrollment (12 ± 4 hours in KMC vs 12 ± 5 hours in Conventional Care, p=0.96), maternal age (28.5 ± 4.2 years in KMC vs 29.2 ± 4.5 years in Conventional Care, p=0.56), mode of delivery (18/12 C-section/vaginal in KMC vs. 17/13 in Conventional Care, p=0.80), APGAR score at 5 minutes (7.2 ± 1.1 in KMC vs. 7.4 ± 1.2 in Conventional Care, p=0.42), and maternal health conditions (2 (6.7%) in KMC vs. 3 (10%) in Conventional Care, p=0.73). Conclusion: It is concluded that Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) offers significant benefits over conventional neonatal care for preterm and low-birth-weight infants, including improved weight gain, better thermoregulation, reduced infection rates, and enhanced breastfeeding success.

Published: February 2025

Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a significant complication following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), associated with an increased risk of heart failure and long-term cardiovascular mortality. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the gold-standard treatment for STEMI, yet delayed PCI remains common in Pakistan due to limited healthcare accessibility and delayed patient presentation. This study compares the frequency of LVSD in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI versus delayed PCI at a tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. Objective: To evaluate and compare LV systolic function in STEMI patients who underwent early PPCI versus delayed PCI, determining the impact of PCI timing on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and overall cardiac function. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at the Cardiology Department, Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore. One hundred sixty patients were enrolled and stratified into PPCI (n=80) and delayed PCI (n=80). Baseline demographics, comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking), and echocardiographic findings (LVEF, LVSD) were recorded. LVSD was defined as LVEF <40% at hospital discharge. Data were analysed using SPSS version 26, with chi-square and independent t-tests for statistical comparisons, considering p ≤ 0.05 statistically significant. Results: The overall prevalence of LVSD was 43.1%, with a significantly higher incidence in delayed PCI patients (57.5%) compared to PPCI patients (28.7%) (p < 0.001). Patients in the PPCI group had significantly higher LVEF at discharge (50.3% ± 7.2) compared to the delayed PCI group (42.1% ± 6.8, p < 0.05). Dyslipidemia (p = 0.001) was significantly associated with LVSD, whereas diabetes mellitus showed a borderline association (p = 0.06). Other risk factors, including hypertension and smoking, were not statistically significant predictors of LVSD. Conclusion: Early PCI significantly reduces the incidence of LV systolic dysfunction in STEMI patients, reinforcing the importance of timely reperfusion therapy to prevent long-term myocardial damage. Delays in PCI were associated with larger infarct size, lower LVEF, and a higher prevalence of LV dysfunction. Given the high burden of STEMI and PCI delays in Pakistan, healthcare policies should prioritise expanding PPCI-capable centres, improving emergency medical services (EMS), and raising awareness of early STEMI symptoms to enhance patient outcomes.

A Batalha do Atlântico e a posição de Argentina, Brasil e México vis-à-vis a Segunda Guerra Mundial
Authors: Alves Vágner
Published: February 2025

A Segunda Guerra Mundial tornou-se conflito global no fim de 1941 / início de 1942, afetando todos os Estados soberanos do planeta. No continente americano, a hegemonia estadunidense implicou a construção de um bloco de poder homogêneo formado por todas as repúblicas latino-americanas independentes, que romperam relações diplomáticas com os países do Eixo até o fim de janeiro de 1942, salvo Argentina e Chile. A partir desse momento, a guerra submarina alemã e italiana contra os Aliados, realizada no Atlântico Norte, estendeu-se até a costa do continente americano, afetando toda a navegação comercial da região. Sua natureza irrestrita responde em grande medida pelos momentos de declaração de guerra do México e do Brasil. A Argentina é exceção à regra. Seus navios foram poupados a despeito de alguns ataques. Por isso o país conseguiu manter sua neutralidade. O artigo, com sua visão sistêmica, contrapõem-se a explicações internas e personalistas acerca das respectivas declarações de guerra e da neutralidade dos países examinados.

University 'privileges' as a condition of the common good
Authors: Oliveira Terezinha , Santin Rafael Henrique
Published: February 2025

Our purpose is to reflect on the role of the ruler of the ruler in the organization and consolidation of the University, in the Portuguese kingdom, in the medieval autumn. We recover a set of political measures taken by the regent Infante D. Pedro (1392-1449) between the years 1441 to 1444 that aimed to protect the lives of men of knowledge and instituted privileges that ensured exclusive dedication to university activities. At the same time, the regent defined measures aimed at the general population so that they would recognize the importance of university men for society. We used as sources a set of eight Letters published in the Chartularium Universitatis Portugalensis that will be analyzed according to the principles formulated by Social History, especially from the concept of long duration of Braudel (1991). We also note, in terms of final considerations, that we believe it is fundamental that the actions of the Portuguese ruler were consciously inclined to defend the existence of the University and its actors.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Most Canadian urologists use lidocaine solution prior to botulinium toxin (BoNT) administration; however, this requires additional time. The aim was to compare pain scores in patients undergoing office-based BoNT using lidocaine instillation and lidocaine gel vs lidocaine gel alone.
Methods: All patients undergoing office based intradetrusor BoNT between March 1 and September 1, 2022, were included. Group 1 received intravesical lidocaine solution (20 ml 2% lidocaine solution + 30 ml 0.9% normal saline) instillation for 30 minutes and lidocaine gel. Group 2 received lidocaine gel only. The Verbal Numeric Rating Scale (VNRS) was used to measure pain. Patient demographics were compared with t-test for continuous and Chi-squared for categorical variables. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare pain scores.
Results: A total of 79 patients were included (mean age 61 years, 74.7% female, 58.2% with overactive bladder, and 30.4% received first treatment). Group 1 had 39 patients and group 2 had 40. There was no significant difference in pain scores between groups: group 1 median VNRS 3.0 (interquartile range [IQR] 2.5) vs. group 2 median VNRS 4.0 (IQR 2.0) (p=0.11). No significant differences in pain scores were noted between groups based on sex, indication for treatment, or number of previous BoNT treatments (p>0.05). Post-procedural complications were low. Treatment failure did not occur.
Conclusions: Lidocaine gel alone may be an acceptable analgesic alternative while improving availability and efficiency of treatment delivery. Our findings are limited by the retrospective nature of the study and the small sample size.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are essential in medical education and widely used by licensing bodies. They are traditionally created with intensive human effort to ensure validity. Recent advances in AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), offer the potential to streamline this process. This study aimed to develop and test a GPT-4 model with customized instructions for generating MCQs to assess urology residents.
Methods: A GPT-4 model was embedded using guidelines from medical licensing bodies and reference materials specific to urology. This model was tasked with generating MCQs designed to mimic the format and content of the 2023 urology examination outlined by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC). Following generation, a selection of MCQs underwent expert review for validity and suitability.
Results: From an initial set of 123 generated MCQs, 60 were chosen for inclusion in an exam administered to 15 urology residents at the University of Toronto. The exam results demonstrated a general increasing performance with level of training cohorts, suggesting the MCQs’ ability to effectively discriminate knowledge levels among residents. The majority (33/60) of the questions had discriminatory value that appeared acceptable (discriminatory index 0.20.4) or excellent (discriminatory index >0.4).
Conclusions: This study highlights AI-driven models like GPT-4 as efficient tools to aid with MCQ generation in medical education assessments. By automating MCQ creation while maintaining quality standards, AI can expedite processes. Future research should focus on refining AI applications in education to optimize assessments and enhance medical training and certification outcomes.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is a procedure of significant therapeutic and diagnostic value in the management of testicular cancer. This study aimed to conduct a contemporary review of surgical outcomes following RPLND procedures performed in North America over the last decade.
Methods: We queried the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database from 20122022 (n=9 857 040) to identify patients who underwent RPLND and were diagnosed with testicular cancer. The primary outcome was 30-day morbidity. Secondary outcomes included time-to-complication analysis, rate of additional organ resection, hospital length of stay (LOS), and readmission rates. Binomial logistic regression and a generalized linear model were used to identify risk factors associated with 30-day morbidity and LOS.
Results: A total of 513 RPLND procedures met the inclusion criteria. The median age was 30 years (interquartile range [IQR] 2436.50) with a body mass index of 27.9 kg/m2 (IQR 24.5– 32.0). There were no deaths within 30 days. The overall 30-day morbidity rate was 17% (n=86). Bleeding/transfusion postoperatively (12%), return to the operating room (3%), and superficial surgical site infection (2%) were the three most common complications. Factors associated with increased 30-day morbidity included: history of smoking (odds ratio [OR] 2.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35–4.68) and concurrent vascular repair/reconstruction (OR 4.1, 95% CI 1.12–15.46). The median LOS was four days (IQR 3–6) and the 30-day readmission rate was 7.0%.
Conclusions: This study underscores that approximately one in six patients experience complications following RPLND in North America. Identifying the timing of and risk factors for these complications can improve physician-patient communication and overall care.

The problem of stunting in toddlers is still a health problem, especially in developing countries. One of the efforts that can be made to reduce the incidence rate is increasing parental knowledge about stunting, namely how to prevent and treat and improve the nutrition of toddlers so that their growth and development can be maximized. The community service activities carried out aim to prevent stunting through early detection of growth and development and improving the nutritional status of toddlers. The activities were carried out by a team of lecturers from the Midwifery Professional Education Study Program, Majapahit Health College in Sumbertebu Village, Bangsal District, Mojokerto Regency. The activity uses lecture, simulation and role-playing methods and conducts growth and development checks on toddlers from September to November 2024. The results of community service activities have been attended by 53 mothers and toddlers, a significant increase in knowledge of 64% was obtained and in toddlers who underwent growth and development checks by measuring height, weighing and early detection with the Pre-Screening Questionnaire for Development (KPSP) it was concluded that there were no toddlers who were heading towards stunting or experiencing developmental delays. Health education can increase participants' knowledge in understanding the material and are willing to actively come routinely to participate in posyandu activities and know the schedule for growth and development checks properly. This activity is expected to increase mothers' knowledge about the implementation of early detection of growth and development in efforts to handle stunting, so as to prevent growth and development delays in toddlers
Exploring Changes in Lin Yutang’s Translation Habitus
Authors: Biao Kong , Haroon Haslina
Published: February 2025

As the core of Bourdieu’s sociological notions, habitus is initiative, generative and accumulative, constantly restructuring itself in accordance with external changes. The notion is frequently used to explain human action. Within the context of Translation Studies, the translator’s habitus can be an analytical tool to analyze a translator’s translation practice and to determine the hidden factors influencing translation behaviors. Lin Yutang is a well-known Chinese translator, and numerous studies have been carried out focusing on him as a translator and his translations from various perspectives. This study attempts to complement these previous studies by employing the concept of habitus. In other words, this study tries to investigate Lin Yutang’s translation habitus in order to more comprehensively understand him as a translator and further understand the restructuring characteristics of habitus. Within the framework of Bourdieu’s Theory of Social Practice, this paper diachronically examines Lin Yutang’s translation habitus through a comparison of his two translations of Six Chapters of a Floating Life which were translated in different times. The findings show that with the change of literary fields and the increase of his symbolic capital, Lin Yutang adjusted his translation habitus accordingly by turning from an “academic translation model” to a “business translation model”, and from adopting a foreignizing strategy to a domesticating strategy.

Jeu de contextualisation de l’impératif et modulation des valeurs injonctives en usage dans Le Cercle des tropiques d’Alioun Fant

La grammaire française promeut quatre modes qui catégorisent les différentes manières dont le verbe exprime l’état ou l’action, la manière dont l'action exprimée par le verbe est conçue et présentée. Ce trait linguistique qui court l’énonciation charrie le trait sémantique et le trait morphologique (désinences / conjugaison) des verbes. Ces modes sont l’indicatif, le subjonctif, le conditionnel et l’impératif. Les usagers de la langue française attribuent l’unique fonction qui consiste, pour un locuteur, à donner un ordre à un interlocuteur, individuel ou collectif. Au demeurant, le subjonctif est aussi le mode de la supplication, de l’interdit, du conseil. L’argument qui sous-tend la présente étude en termes d’hypothèse est que l’impératif est un mode de l’invitation dont la forme est fonction du contexte de communication. Cette valeur fondamentale s’observe au fil des pages de Le Cercle des Tropiques d’Alioun Fantouré. L’objectif spécifique est de faire déceler toutes les subtilités d’usage dudit mode. Au jeu des analyses et pour assurer l’enjeu qui les sous-tend, est fait usage, la pragmatique, notamment, la théorie des actes du langage telle qu’initiée par John Austin.
Éthique, pédagogie et éducation
Authors: Tassoulou Hilaire Ngoma
Published: February 2025

Cet article qui porte sur l’éthique, la pédagogie et l’éducation analyse le triple rapport qui se dégage à travers ses trois notions. Or, pour penser ce triple rapport, l’article montre premièrement comment l’éthique est le rapport de la nature avec elle-même, de sorte ce tripe rapport de l’éthique à la pédagogie et à l’éducation ne serait pas possible sans l’éthique qui le rend possible. Ainsi, en montrant comment la pédagogie est le lieu où s’accomplit l’intersubjectivité entre enseignant et enseigné, l’article montre comment cette intersubjectivité procède de la nature, du monde qui n’est autre que l’éthique elle-même. C’est pourquoi, l’article montre finalement comment l’éducation qui est le mode d’accès à la relation entre sujet et objet ne serait pas possible, si elle n’était pas rendue possible par le monde qui équivaut la nature donc à l’éthique.

O presente artigo teve como finalidade compreender as concepções sobre o direito social à educação nos Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos (PPC) dos cursos técnicos em Segurança do Trabalho nos diferentes campi do Instituto Federal de Pernambuco (IFPE), averiguando o ensino jurídico nesses cursos, com foco na legislação trabalhista. O processo consisitiu em 03 (três) fases. A primeira centrou-se na seleção dos PPC dos cursos integrados e subsequentes nos campis de Abreu e lima, Caruaru, Ipojuca e Recife. A segunda identificou e compreendeu como constitui-se a concepção institucional do direito social à educação centrada na concepção de uma formação voltada o para o mundo do trabalho e na formação omnilateral. Por fim, a terceira averiguou comparativamente em cada modalidade as ementas das disciplinas, objetivando identificar aspectos associados ao direito social à educação com foco trabalhista. Os resultados evidenciam que os PPCs dos cursos integram o direito social à educação e as normas de segurança do trabalho, alinhando formação profissional e princípios legais. Além da qualificação técnica, promovem uma educação crítica e cidadã, reforçando valores constitucionais. Observou-se coerência estrutural nos conteúdos jurídicos, embora com variações entre os campi quanto à profundidade dos temas abordados. Apesar dessas diferenças, os PPCs mantêm uma base comum sólida, garantindo uma formação técnica, ética e alinhada às exigências.
Revisitando Durkheim: aspectos gerais sobre o suicídio no Brasil
Authors: Santos Gilson Cássio de Oliveira
Published: February 2025

No século XIX, Émile Durkheim debruçou-se sobre os estudos do suicídio devido ao fato de acreditar ser esse um fenômeno de causas sociais, por isso mesmo, enquadrando-se no conceito de fato social. Tem-se aqui, portanto, a pretensão de verificar o efeito de algumas variáveis controladas por Durkheim, como sexo, idade, estado civil e unidade da federação, sobre a ocorrência do suicídio no Brasil atual. As avaliações realizadas neste trabalho lançaram mão de dados oriundos do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) e do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia Estatística (IBGE). Foram analisados a partir de procedimentos de estatística descritiva e regressão linear. De acordo com os dados evidenciados nas pesquisas durkheimianas, existe uma tendência para a ocorrência maior de suicídios efetivados pelos homens do que pelas mulheres. Na França, entre 1871 e 1876, os homens protagonizaram 78,7% dos suicídios. No Brasil, em 2020, não foi diferente, dentre todos os casos de suicídios registrados pelo Ministério da Saúde, 78,6% foram realizados por homens.
