Gender disparities in occupational morbidity: A study on the prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome in ecuadorian workers
Authors: Gómez-García Antonio Ramón , Vega Chica Mayra Liuviana
Published: November 2024

Introduction: The heterogeneity of occupational morbidity by gender in those suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) has been little studied in the Latin American context. The objective of this study was to estimate the incidence and prevalence of CTS of occupational origin in the Ecuadorian salaried population according to gender, In addition, the differences in risk between women and men are compared. Methods: We use the only administrative registers of CTS qualified as occupational diseases in the country between the years 2017 and 2019. Period incidence rates were estimated to compare the risk in women versus men (RR, CI 95%) by age group and economic activity. Results: CTS is the second most common occupational disease in Ecuador. Women workers are more likely tosuffer from CTS and showed twice the risk compared to men [RR = 2.10 (95%CI: 1.94–2.11); p = 0.000]. This risk increases with age and for the vast majority of economic activities. The occupations of agriculture and warehousing stand out for their importance. Conclusions: The results shown in this study raise the fundamental need to improve epidemiological surveillance systems and occupational health policies by considering gender differences in order to adequately address risks and promote safe and healthy working environments for all.
Integrating SDGs to village development plan through the provision of infrastructure: The case of best village panchayat in Kerala, South India
Authors: Nair Manju S. , Abhirami A.
Published: November 2024

With the declaration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the importance of localisation principles and, consequently, the local-level institutions in implementing development policies came to the forefront. India adopted a thematic approach by condensing the seventeen goals into nine themes, to be worked upon by the local administrative units, furthering that each Village Panchayat (constitutionally known as Grama Panchayats) should select a theme in a plan year and strive towards attaining it. For the South Indian state of Kerala, with its good trajectory of decentralised governance, this localisation process of SDGs was rather smooth. In this article, we discuss the case of the best-performing Grama Panchayat (GP) in Kerala, which has identified ‘Village with Self-Sufficient Infrastructure’ as the development theme. Through qualitative research methodology, we examine how the Panchayat included projects specific to this theme in the development plans and how the implementation helped produce effects on multidimensional aspects of SDGs using the SDG Impact Assessment Tool. The case studies of different infrastructure-based projects endorse that with proper planning and implementation of such projects, the lowest tier of administration can significantly contribute to the improvement of development goals. We have delineated full fund utilisation through convergence schemes, community participation, and strong monitoring mechanisms as the factors leading the selected Panchayat to be the champion of the cause. The accomplishment exhibited by the Panchayat by integrating SDGs into the Village Development Plan through the projects on the theme of self-sufficient infrastructure can be well emulated by other local bodies across the world.
Criminal legal aspects of surrogacy for commercial purposes—Case of Vietnam
Authors: Le Thuy Ha
Published: November 2024

Surrogacy has opened new doors for many people who need children but are infertile or unable to have children. Through modern scientific technology, couples or mothers can find women to ask them to be surrogates using their eggs or sperm. The nature of surrogacy is reproductive support, but the complexity of the surrogacy procedure causes a lot of controversy not only in the field of criminal law but also regarding its implementation in practice. The article uses qualitative analysis to study current commercial surrogacy formulas. The main goal of this study is to clarify the legal aspects of commercial surrogacy in the world and in Vietnam. The article also concludes that Vietnam and other countries need to agree or develop common principles to avoid cross-border surrogacy as well as establish legal tools to prevent surrogacy for sexual purposes trade to protect human rights and prevent child trafficking.
Effect of suspension training intervention on the balance ability of juvenile deaf-mute patients
Authors: Liu Zheng , Liu Lizhi , Yu Zhiyi
Published: November 2024

Maintaining balance is essential for daily activities; deficits in hearing-impaired adolescents can severely impact their academics and daily life. Suspension training is employed to enhance the coordination of multiple muscle groups within the body and ultimately to improve balance. A total of 105 students with non-genetic hearing impairments, comprising 65 boys and 40 girls, participated in the study. Balance training using the TRS suspension belt included exercises such as prone elbow brace, supine back brace, kneeling elbow brace, lateral elbow brace, prone hip flexion, and supine hip lift. Strength training using equipment involved exercises like single-leg suspension squat, flying bird brace, supine suspension arm flexion, seated static brace, and standing butterfly pinch chest. The main outcome measures included static balance tests (lambda footwork, Wolfson postural stress test), dynamic balance tests (functional forward reach test, balance beam walk test), and vestibule function tests (rotation-walk test). The results of the lambda footwork and Wolfson postural stress tests revealed highly significant differences between 8 weeks and 16 weeks of intervention (p < 0.01). The Functional Forward Stretch test demonstrated a significant difference between 8 weeks of intervention and 2 weeks of intervention at 16 weeks (p < 0.05). The balance beam walking test indicated a significant improvement at 8 weeks (p < 0.05) and a highly significant improvement at 16 weeks (p < 0.01). In the spin-walk test, no statistically significant differences were observed between the pre-experimental test, the 8-week intervention, and the 16-week intervention (p > 0.05). Leveraging the expropriation system to mediate skeletal muscle movement and muscle contraction coordination can improve balance. Suspension training significantly improved balance during activities requiring static non-interference maintenance. However, suspension training did not demonstrate a significant effect on improving vestibule function. Overall, suspension training was effective in enhancing balance in all patients with non-hereditary deafness.

Authors: Xu Fang , Deng Wenhang , Jiang Xinyue , Jin Yuyang , Ding Gaojie , Chen Ying , Wang Qi
Published: November 2024

To address gaps in practical skills among Public Health and Preventive Medicine graduates, an ‘open collaborative practice teaching model’ integrating medicine, teaching, and research was introduced. A cross-sectional study surveyed 312 Preventive Medicine undergraduates at a Yunnan medical university from 2020 to 2023, utilizing satisfaction scores and analyses (cluster, factor, SWOT) to assess the impact of the reform. Satisfaction scores from baseline, mid-term, and end-term assessments showed minor variations (4.30, 4.29, 4.36), with dissatisfaction primarily related to teaching content and methods. Key influences on satisfaction included teaching content, methods, and effectiveness. The SWOT analysis highlighted the importance of continuously updating teaching strategies to meet changing student expectations. This study suggests that the model has the potential for wider use in enhancing public health education, particularly in regions facing similar challenges.
The impact of biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculation on garden egg (Solanum gilo L.) performance
Authors: Abdulsalam Saheed Olawale , Akinrinola Tajudeen Bamidele
Published: November 2024

Garden eggs are an important vegetable, but often yield poorly due to soil fertility depletion. Biochar has gained interest in mitigating nutrient loss, while arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) reportedly enhance plant nutrition. However, limited information exists on garden egg responses to biochar application and their interactions with mycorrhizal inoculation. Therefore, the effects of biochar and AMF inoculation on garden egg performance were investigated. In a 3 × 2 factorial field experiment during the 2021 and 2022 cropping seasons, biochar (0, 2.5, and 5 t/ha) and AMF inoculation (−AMF and +AMF) were evaluated in a randomised complete block design with three replicates. Garden egg (NHSg−3) seedlings were transplanted at 60 cm × 60 cm spacing. Data were subjected to ANOVA at p < 0.05. Applying 5 t/ha biochar and AMF inoculation resulted in a significant leaf area increase compared with their respective controls. Fruit yield was significantly higher with 2.5 t/ha biochar than other treatments. The AMF-inoculated plants had significantly higher fruit yield (726.40 kg/ha) than the untreated plants (644.17 kg/ha). Fruit yield for biochar and AMF interactions ranged from 436.50 (− AMF) to 854.53 kg/ha (+AMF inoculation) at 5 t/ha biochar. However, 5 t/ha biochar resulted in significantly higher weed biomass and lower microbial count, while 2.5 t/ha biochar +AMF and −AMF treatments gave 771.63 and 802.08 kg/ha fruit yields, respectively, enhanced microbial counts, and reduced weed biomass. Applying 2.5 t/ha biochar without AMF inoculation was considered adequate for good garden egg performance and improved soil conditions.

“I AM NOT A PIECE OF CLAY TO BE MOULDED BY ANY HAND” : THE PORTRAYAL OF FEMALE EMPOWERMENT IN CONTEMPORARY ADAPTATIONS OF JANE EYRE
Authors: Moyano Rejano Rocío
Published: November 2024

This paper examines the most recent adaptations of Jane Eyre, the ones produced by Sandy Welch and Cary Fukunaga, which were released in 2006 and 2011, respectively. Jane Eyre is widely known as one of the first feminist novels written during the nineteenth century. Nonetheless, when this novel has been adapted to the screen, the concept of empowerment has not always been depicted as it was implicitly introduced in the original text. An overview of empowerment in each version of Jane Eyre will be provided asides from the revision of this aspect as it was introduced in the description in Brontë’s novel. On the other hand, the portrayal of the Brontëan heroine in both films will be also analysed as well as a revision of certain interactions with other characters that somehow influence her process of empowerment.
"The Treasure of Creative Power": A Portrait of the Young Female Artist in Willa Cather's The Song of the Lark

Authors: Canido Muiño Elena
Published: November 2024

This article provides an analysis of the portrayal of the woman artist in Willa Cather’s novel The Song of The Lark while exploring the importance of creativity and art-making processes in the development of a woman’s positive self-identity, as is the case with Thea Kronborg, the protagonist of this modernist Künstlerroman, and with the author herself. Therefore, by examining the above-mentioned issues through the lenses of literary theories, as well as through art research and music studies, this article posits that Thea’s process of self-growth comes through locating the vocation of artistic creativity in music learning and opera singing in particular. This paper ultimately aims to prove that music is not only a genuine source of inspiration for musicians and singers, but it can also be a force that writers use in their literature to re-create stories and move toward richer self-expression.

Mayank’s Patterntic Theory
Authors: Sharma Mayank
Published: November 2024

This research introduces Mayank’s Patterntic Theory (MPT), which explores the intricate relationship between the mind and human behavior, addressing the gaps in modern psychological theories. The theory posits that human behavior is governed by three core patterns: P-Patterns, OL-Patterns, and E-Patterns. Through subjective qualitative research, including naturalistic observations, this study examines how these patterns interact to shape individual responses to stimuli, explaining variations in human behavior. The findings suggest that behavioral discrepancies, such as stress, anxiety, and depression, can be attributed to misalignments between these patterns. Additionally, the research provides insights into the potential adverse effects of practices like meditation, the effectiveness of spiritual guidance over professional counselling, and other studies.

Published: November 2024

Barraquer–Simons syndrome (BSS) is an uncommon acquired partial lipodystrophy (APL) characterized by gradual, progressive loss of subcutaneous fat limited to the upper part of the body. It is a rare condition of uncertain origin typically appearing in early adolescence with a higher incidence among females with autoimmunity and C3 hypocomplementemia. Approximately 250 cases were reported worldwide, we present a case of BSS that began after pregnancy. A biopsy of the affected areas reveals reduced adipocytes. Metabolic abnormalities are relatively uncommon in APL compared to other forms of lipodystrophy, affecting around 10% of patients. At present, there is no treatment available to stop the disease’s progression. Management options are limited to restoration through lipomodelling or fat grafting in the affected regions. This report focuses on a 58-year-old patient with BSS who started post-pregnancy, and who also has diabetes mellitus and low C3 levels.

Tailored anharmonic potential energy surfaces for infrared signatures
Authors: Hellmers Janine , Czember Pascal , König Carolin
Published: November 2024

Accurately calculated infrared spectra are essential for supporting experimental interpretation, yet full-space anharmonic vibrational structure calculations are only feasible for a limited number of degrees of freedom. Fortunately, characteristic spectroscopic signatures are often dominated by a few key vibrations. We propose a computational protocol specifically tailoring high dimensional anharmonic potential energy surfaces for the accurate and efficient calculation of such spectral signatures with vibrational coupled cluster response theory. Our protocol focuses on the selection of appropriate coordinates for the relevant degrees of freedom and the identification of specific mode-coupling terms for the potential energy surface that require more thorough treatment. This includes applying different levels of electronic structure theory and selecting a restricted set of higher mode-coupling terms (> mode pairs). We validate this protocol on two spectral regions: the fundamental C=O stretching vibrations in uracil and the fundamental OH stretchings in catechol. Our findings indicate that the convergence behaviour towards harmonic frequencies in the so-called FALCON algorithm is an effective indicator for the locality character of the relevant degrees of freedom. We find that the C=O stretchings in uracil are better described using normal coordinates, while the description with local FALCON coordinates of the OH stretching vibrations in catechol showed superior performances in VCC spectra calculations. Overall, our protocol offers valuable guidelines for accurate and efficient anharmonic calculation of vibrational spectral signatures.
Interfacing Flexible Design and Social Self-Sorting Enables Comprehensive Control over Photophysical and Self-Assembly Properties of Supramolecular Polymers
Authors: Bäumer Nils , Yamada Saeko , Ogi Soichiro , Yamaguchi Shigehiro
Published: November 2024

Supramolecular self-assembly offers an intriguing approach to construct microarchitectures, which combine properties of their molecular constituents with dynamic supramolecular features. Control over intermolecular interactions and their resulting properties can sometimes be achieved by targeted design. However, it is often unfeasible to transfer the insights gained from a specific supramolecular synthon to another chromophore without tedious synthetic work guided by trial and error. Herein we demonstrate how a flexible molecular design approach enables access to a diverse library of photophysical properties, which can be further diversified by social self-sorting strategies using a second supramolecular building block as a modulator. By intercalation into the supramolecular polymer the modulator can disrupt interchromophore interactions and modulate the ensembles emissive properties across the visible color space by simply adjusting the ratio between the two building blocks. Furthermore, by combining a chromophore appended synthon with a different morphology than the modulator the mesoscopic size distribution of the co-assemblies can be modified to resemble either of its constituents. Finally, the thermodynamic stability of the modulated polymers can be adjusted by varying the amount of solubilizing alkyl chains in the ensemble. Crucially, this peripheral stabilization approach does not affect the engineered photophysical or supramolecular properties. Our results demonstrate how flexible molecular design enriched by a supramolecular modulator can offer access to a wide variety of photophysical properties and enable unique fine-tuning of various supramolecular properties.
A Cooperative Model for Metallocene Catalyst Activation by Methylaluminoxane
Authors: Collins Scott , Linnolahti Mikko
Published: November 2024

Activation of rac-Me2Si(η5-Ind)2ZrMe2 (SBIZrMe2) and sheet models for MAO, (MeAlO)6(Me3Al)4 (6,4), (MeAlO)7(Me3Al)5 (7,5), and (MeAlO)26(Me3Al)9 (26,9) has been studied by DFT. These activators can reversibly form an outer-sphere ion-pair (OSIP) [SBIZrMe2AlMe2] [(MeAlO)n(Me3Al)mMe] 3 ([n,m]− = [7,4]−and [26,8]−) or a contact ion-pair (CIP) SBIZrMe-μ-Me-6,4 (2b)from SBIZrMe2. Dissociation of Me3Al from 3 to form CIP SBIZrMe-μ-Me-n,m (2) is generally unfavourable but reversible in toluene continuum. Propene insertion involving CIP 2 features uniformly high barriers of 90-100 kJ mol-1 which is much higher than experiment for MAO-activated catalysts, though the calculated barriers do track with the coordinating ability of the MAO-based anion, as also suggested from the position of the Me3Al-binding equilibria. Binding of neutral sheet 6,4 to anion [7,4]− leads to a hybrid anion [13,8]−. The barrier to propene insertion involving CIP SBIZrMe-μ-Me-13,8 (2e) is lower than 60 kJ mol-1. Formation of [SBIZrMe2AlMe2][13,8] (3e) from SBIZrMe2, 7,5 and 6,4 is favorable though dissociation into 2e and ½ Al2Me6 is not. Simulations of catalyst speciation vs. [Al] at constant [Zr] indicate that formation of species like 2e or 3e from two components of MAO may explain the high activity seen for MAO-activated metallocene complexes at sufficiently high Al:Zr ratios.

Machine Learning (ML) methods that relate molecular structure to properties are frequently proposed as in-silico surrogates for expensive or time-consuming experiments. In small molecule drug discovery, such methods inform high-stakes decisions like compound synthesis and in-vivo studies. This application lies at the intersection of multiple scientific disciplines. When comparing new ML methods to baseline or state-of-the-art approaches, statistically rigorous method comparison protocols and domain-appropriate performance metrics are essential to ensure replicability and ultimately the adoption of ML in small molecule drug discovery. This paper proposes a set of guidelines to incentivize rigorous and domain-appropriate techniques for method comparison tailored to small molecule property modeling. These guidelines, accompanied by annotated examples and open-source software tools, lay a foundation for robust ML benchmarking and thus the development of more impactful methods.

Immortalised cell lines that mimic their primary cell counterparts are fundamental to research, particularly when large cell numbers are required. Here, we report that immortalisation of bone marrow–derived macrophages (iBMDMs) using the J2 virus resulted in the loss of a protein of interest, MSR1, in WT cells by an unknown mechanism. This led us to perform an in-depth mass spectrometry–based proteomic characterisation of common murine macrophage cell lines (J774A.1, RAW264.7, and BMA3.1A7), in comparison with the iBMDMs, as well as primary BMDMs from both C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. This analysis revealed striking differences in protein profiles associated with macrophage polarisation, phagocytosis, pathogen recognition, and interferon signalling. Among the cell lines, J774A.1 cells were the most similar to the gold standard primary BMDM model, whereas BMA3.1A7 cells were the least similar because of the reduction in abundance of several key proteins related closely to macrophage function. This comprehensive proteomic dataset offers valuable insights into the use and suitability of macrophage cell lines for cell signalling and inflammation research.

To discuss the impact of applying information technology in basketball referee training on referees’ self-efficacy, stress management, and job satisfaction, this study selected 200 registered referees from the Chinese Basketball Association as research participants, who were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received training in virtual reality (VR) technology and video analysis, while the control group adopted traditional training methods. Research methods included questionnaires, experimental observations, and data analysis. By evaluating the self-efficacy, stress levels, and job satisfaction of referees in both groups before and after training, the effectiveness of information technology was compared. The results indicated that the experimental group’s self-efficacy significantly increased, rising from 3.21 ± 0.14 to 4.46 ± 0.15 (P < 0.001), while the control group showed only a slight improvement. Furthermore, the experimental group experienced a notable reduction in stress levels, whereas the control group’s changes were insignificant (P < 0.05). Regarding job satisfaction, the experimental group’s satisfaction level improved from 3.53 ± 0.17 to 4.62 ± 0.16 (P < 0.001), while the control group showed a more modest increase. The conclusion suggests that information technology effectively enhances self-efficacy, reduces stress, and improves job satisfaction among referees during training, demonstrating broad application prospects.

Authors: Hu Ying
Published: November 2024

With the development of globalization, films and TV series from foreign countries, as an important vehicle of culture, have sprung up and are appreciated by viewers due to high-quality subtitle translation. Thus, subtitle translation has become an important part in the field of translation research. Since its launch in China, the famous American sitcom 2 Broke Girls has achieved universal praise among audiences. This recognition is attributed not only to its intriguing plot but also to the excellent subtitle translation, in which domestication and foreignization, two key translation techniques, play an important role. Although many scholars have already conducted research and discussions on domestication and foreignization, there is still a lack of studies on the application of these two techniques to this drama. Therefore, taking this sitcom as an example, through an analysis of domestication and foreignization methods and of the humorous elements in the drama, this paper explores the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of these two translation methods in their practical application in the drama, focusing on specific scenarios for research. It is found that domestication and foreignization play a crucial role in driving the plot forward and enhancing the comedic effect of this sitcom. In the process of translation, translators should combine these two translation strategies well to achieve a better effect.
