La Traite Cacaoyère à l’Épreuve de l’Insécurité dans la SousPréfecture de Soubré (Sud-ouest Ivoirien)
Authors: Thiéry St Urbain Yeboute Konan
Published: December 2022

Le cacao représente 10 à 15% du Produit Intérieur Brut (PIB) de la Côte d’Ivoire, avec près de 40% de ses recettes d’exportation. Il est la principale source de revenus de près de 800 000 ménages de producteurs. Cependant, le secteur cacaoyer ivoirien est confronté à de nombreux problèmes qui constituent des pesanteurs à son bon développement. Cet article, mené à l’échelle du territoire de la sous-préfecture de Soubré (sud-ouest de la Côte d’Ivoire), analyse la traite cacaoyère et sa pesanteur majeure qu’est l’insécurité causée par les actes criminels. Il s’appuie sur une recherche documentaire et une enquête de terrain auprès divers acteurs de la traite cacaoyère. Au total, 229 individus engagés dans la traite (producteurs, responsables de coopératives, forces de sécurité, responsable du Conseil café-cacao, transporteurs, etc.) ont été interrogés. Il est fondé sur une théorisation de l’environnement sécuritaire de la traite cacaoyère pour aboutir à trois principaux résultats. Ces résultats indiquent d’abord que la traite cacaoyère cristallise essentiellement deux types de flux, impulsés par les activités des acteurs. Ensuite, des facteurs divers concourant à l’installation d’une atmosphère d’insécurité. Enfin, d’une campagne à l’autre, les actes d’infractions connaissent une évolution en fonction de l’intensité des activités commerciales autour de la production du cacao.

 

Cocoa accounts for 10 to 15 per cent of Côte d'Ivoire's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with nearly 40 per cent of its export earnings. This crop is the main source of income for nearly 800,000 producer households. However, the Ivorian cocoa sector faces many problems that constitute burdens to its good development. This article, conducted throughout the territory of the sub-prefecture of Soubre (south-west of Côte d'Ivoire), analyses the cocoa trade and its major gravity, which is the insecurity caused by criminal acts. It is based on documentary research and a field survey of actors in the cocoa trade.  In sum, 229 persons involved in trafficking (producers, cooperative leaders, security forces, head of the coffee-cocoa council, transporters) were interviewed. It is based on a theorization of the security environment of the cocoa trade to lead to three main results. These results first indicate that cocoa milking essentially crystallizes two types of flows, driven by the activities of the actors. Then, various factors contributing to the installation of an atmosphere of insecurity. Finally, from one campaign to another, the acts of infringements evolve according to the intensity of the commercial activities around the production of cocoa.

Les communes rurales d’Aglmam Azegza et d’Oum Rbiaa se caractérisent par un patrimoine naturel et culturel très distingué, il se manifeste dans des paysages géomorphologiques originaux et des traces humaines matérielles ou immatérielles de grandes valeurs. Le présent travail s’inscrit dans les premières tentatives visant, à diverses échelles, l’inventaire du patrimoine géomorphologique. Ces inventaires sont déclinés en plusieurs variantes, pour tester la méthode élaborée à l’Université de Lausanne (IGUL), suivant laquelle la documentation systématique des géomorphosites est réalisée ainsi que leur évaluation qualitative et quantitative. Sur la base de l’hypothèse que cette région comporte des objets caractéristiques de certaines formes (karstiques, fluviatiles, structurales, gravitaires, anthropiques…etc.), en supposant que ces objets peuvent comporter plusieurs valeurs (scientifique, écologique, esthétique, culturelle et économique) et qu’ils peuvent être mis en valeur dans le cadre d’une intégration touristique et éducative de la zone entière. Toutes ces hypothèses ont été vérifiées par le biais d’un inventaire ciblé et raisonné et par une étude détaillée des sites, notamment, grâce à la discussion des résultats de leur évaluation. Enfin, l’inventaire utilisé pour les deux communes contient des objets géomorphologiques caractérisant la zone d’étude en particulier et la région en général. Cet inventaire fournit une évaluation du contexte général de ce travail.

 

The rural municipalities of Aglmam Azegza and Oum Rbiaa are characterized by a very distinguished natural and cultural heritage, manifested in original geomorphological landscapes and tangible or intangible human traces of great value. This work is part of the first attempts to inventory geomorphological heritage at various scales. These inventories are declined in several variants, to test the method developed at the University of Lausanne (IGUL), according to which the systematic documentation of geomorphosites is carried out as well as their qualitative and quantitative evaluation. On the basis of the assumption that this region contains objects characteristic of certain values forms (karstic, fluvial, structural, gravitational, anthropogenic, etc.), assuming that these objects can have several values (scientific, ecological, aesthetic, cultural and economic) and that they can be enhanced as part of a tourist and educational integration of the entire area. All these hypotheses have been verified through a targeted and reasoned inventory and by a detailed study of the sites, in particular by discussing the results of their evaluation. Finally, the used inventory for the two municipalities contains geomorphological objects characterizing the study area in particular and the region in general. This inventory provides an assessment of the general context in this work.

Published: December 2022

Les enfants talibés sont des enfants inscrits dans une école coranique et confiés à un maître par leur parent en vue d”apprendre le coran et les valeurs sociales. Durant cet apprentissage, ces enfants sont conviés à mendier pour des raisons diverses. Cependant, le phénomène de la mendicité de ces enfants devient de plus en plus remarquable suscitant des recherches. Cet article qui traite du phénomène de la mendicité des enfants mineurs, s”appuie sur les données recueillies à l”aide du guide d”entretien auprès des maîtres coraniques, des enfants talibés, d”un Centre de Promotion Sociale (CPS) et deux anciens talibés de la commune de Parakou. Les résultats ont révélé que confrontés à la pauvreté, certains parents n”arrivent plus à subvenir aux besoins de leur progéniture. La croyance religieuse des parents permet de confier les enfants à l”école coranique à des fins d”apprentissages du Coran. Le respect et les vertus associés à l”image du maître coranique lui valent la confiance absolue des parents d”enfants. Cependant, l”étude a aussi révélé que ces enfants sous la responsabilité du maitre coranique mendient pour satisfaire ses exigences et pour manger à leur faim. Cette pratique vise davantage à exploiter les enfants plutôt qu”à les éduquer. Un système de reconversion de ces enfants avec l”implication de tous les acteurs permettrait de réduire considérablement ce phénomène.

 

Talibé children are enrolled in a coranic school and entrusted to a teacher by their parent in order to learn the coran and social values. During this apprenticeship, these children are invited to beg for various reasons. The phenomenon of begging by these children is becoming more and more remarkable and has prompted the need for research. This paper, which deals with the phenomenon of begging by minor children, is based on data collected through interview guide with coranic teachers, talibé children, a Social Advancement Center (SAC), and two former talibés of the commune of Parakou. The results revealed that due to poverty, some parents are no longer able to provide for the needs of their offspring to entrust the children to coranic school for the purpose of learning the coran. The respect and virtues associated with the image of the coranic master earned him the absolute trust of parents and their children. The study also revealed that these children, under the responsibility of the coranic master, beg to meet his requirements and to eat to their fill. This practice is more aimed at exploiting children than educating them. A retraining system for these children with the involvement of all stakeholders would considerably reduce this phenomenon.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of this article is to assist engineers in making quick decisions to improve the strength of single jersey knit fabric. This article focused on the different parameters of the single jersey knit fabrics (like stitch length, yarn count, GSM, tightness factor, and fabric thickness) are considered to know their influence on the bursting strength. Five hypotheses have been developed for plain, pique, and fleece knits. Analyses of Variance (ANOVA), correlation coefficient, and regression analysis are executed using the STATA 14.1 program to test the hypotheses at a 5% level of significance. Three of the five hypotheses are rejected. This study supports that the bursting strength of the fabric is dependent on the tightness factor, stitch length, and count of the single jersey knitted fabrics. Here, the stitch length, count, and tightness factor are inversely proportional to the bursting strength. The GSM and fabric thickness have less impact on the bursting strength.

A fim de melhor estabelecer uma relação entre a memória coletiva e as manifestações religiosas dos povos indígenas da América Portuguesa no século XVI, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar, a partir dos relatos das cartas jesuíticas, as concepções de religião entendidas pelos missionários europeus e as manifestações religiosas dos grupos indígenas, em especial, dos povos Tupinambá, fortemente subsidiadas pela memória coletiva grupal. Por tratar-se de uma pesquisa histórico-documental, foram analisados alguns dos documentos coloniais do mencionado período, a exemplo das cartas jesuíticas da Monumenta Brasiliae (1538-1563), organizadas por Serafim Leite, e da coleção das cartas jesuíticas organizadas pela editora da Universidade de São Paulo (1988), além de escritos coloniais dos cronistas contemporâneos: Jean de Léry (2007), Hans Staden (2008), Fernão Cardim (1980), dentre outros. No que concerne aos estudos sobre memória, usou-se os conceitos de memória coletiva apresentados por Jacques Le Goff (2012) e Leroi-Gourhan (2002). Como método de abordagem, foram utilizadas as categorias dialéticas, uma vez que, ao analisar o contexto colonial da América Portuguesa no período em questão, é imprescindível considerar as relações das partes com a totalidade. Os estudos apontaram que, embora tentassem negar a presença de uma religião entre os indígenas, a organização social do grupo mantinha uma forte relação com elementos místicos, e a memória coletiva era o fio condutor que mantinha viva a busca pelo “bom lugar”.

This study aims to identify the effectiveness of special training technology in the formation of the pedagogical ethics of future teachers, the problem of a regional university in the formation of pedagogical ethics among students and how the entire formation pedagogical ethics process takes place. The study included 102 students (aged 18–22) with pedagogical profiles who were all present. Expert assessment method, a scaling method for studying the level of formedness of the future teacher’s professional ethics, a survey of students and teachers (questions with attached assessment characteristics), questioning, including the ranking of value orientations and observation of the process of pedagogical ethics formation among future teachers were used. The revealed results have shown that the propensity and willingness of students for future pedagogical activity, their desire for continuous self-education and self-improvement as well as a creative and responsible attitude towards their profession have not been formed. It was necessary to involve future teachers in a specially designed programme aimed at developing pedagogical ethics as a method of self-regulation in the educational process and within the framework of the organisation of students’ extracurricular activities.

Published: December 2022

Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is the most common form of monogenic diabetes resulting from a single gene mutation. It is characterized by mild hyperglycemia, autosomal dominant inheritance, early onset diabetes (<25 years), persistence of endogenous insulin secretion, and clinically and genetically distinct subtypes. Currently, 14 subtypes of MODY have been identified, differing in incidence, clinical features, severity of diabetes and associated complications, and response to treatment. This type of diabetes is mostly misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus due to clinical similarities to other types of diabetes, high cost and limited access to genetic testing, and lack of clinician awareness. As a result, thousands of patients do not receive proper treatment. Accurate diagnosis would allow for more effective therapeutic treatments other than those used for type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this review is to raise clinicians’ awareness of MODY diabetes by focusing on updated information on methods for diagnosing and treating its 14 subtypes.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of the study is to establish the relationship between the accentuation of temperament properties, clinical picture of disease, and adherence to therapy in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease with different phenotype of oxidative metabolism. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, a case-control study was conducted in 156 patients aged 21 to 55 years (101 men and 55 women, mean age 38 years (IQR 29-46)) with verified gastroesophageal reflux disease with assessment of the clinical picture, assessment of the severity of symptoms using a visual analogue scale, concomitant pathology, adherence to therapy, phenotype of oxidative metabolism with the eufillin marker drug, determination of personal psychophysiological features using a temperament accentuation test. Statistical analyses were performed according to study objectives and data set features. Results. In patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, 3 main personality types were identified: hyperthymic (n = 29; 19 %), mixed (n = 61; 39 %) and emotionally unstable type (n = 66; 42 %). By oxidative metabolism phenotype, 156 patients were divided into rapid (n = 51; 33 %), intermediate (n = 82; 52 %) and slow metabolizers (n = 23; 15 %). Analysis of multinomial logistic regression showed that in patients with rapid metabolism, in contrast to intermediate and slow metabolizers, low pain syndrome intensity should be expected (p = 0.014). There was no effect on the clinical presentation of temperament properties (p = 0.063). When studying the dependence of adherence to therapy on the properties of temperament and the patient`s metabolic level by multinomial logistic regression in patients with a hyperthymic type of accentuation of temperament properties, the probability of high adherence to therapy was more than 65 % in fast and intermediate metabolizers and 100 % in slow metabolizers (p = 0.006), in patients with mixed types the probability of high adherence to therapy is observed only in slow metabolizers (p = 0.006), patients with emotionally unstable type have a high probability of low adherence to therapy regardless of metabolic level (p = 0.006). Conclusion. To predict adherence of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease to therapy, it is advisable to determine the level of oxidative metabolism and the type of accentuation of temperament properties.
Protected, but Not Included? The Role of Workplace Inclusion for Sexual and Gender Minorities in the Federal Service
Authors: Fountain Clark Anna , Suh Jiwon , Bae Kwang Bin
Published: December 2022

The public workplace has traditionally been conceived of in heteronormative and cisnormative terms, wherein heterosexuality, the gender binary, and opposite-sex relationships are presumed and institutionalized in both word and deed. Recent policy changes and public opinion shifts regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals have placed an onus on employers to develop means to include sexual and gender minorities in the overall organizational culture and improve LGBT individuals’ workplace experiences. Using multilevel data analysis, this study focuses on how LGBT federal workers’ perceptions of inclusion at the agency, supervisory, and work unit levels affect their job satisfaction. The results indicate that LGBT employees’ inclusion perceptions play a moderating role between their sexual or gender minority identities and individual job satisfaction. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at developing an inclusive culture that reduces or eliminates traditional heteronormativity and cisnormativity, both agency-wide and at separate organizational levels, may improve job satisfaction among LGBT workers.
Efficient Adaptive Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with Simplified Diagnostics
Authors: Ivanov Konstantin , Alipbaev K.A. , Miroshnichenko E.S.
Published: December 2022

The development of the automotive industry leads to the improvement of the designs of automatic transmissions and drives and to the development of methods for monitoring and diagnosing their condition. The trend of improving transmissions comes down mainly to the endless improvement of existing designs of CVTs and variators, which inevitably leads to the complication of designs and methods for their control and diagnostics.There is a need to create a fundamentally new simplified gearbox based on the scientific achievements of mechanics. However, the created structures remained inoperable due to the lack of theoretical justification.The adaptive gear variator developed by the author, which has CVT functions, is a mechanism with two degrees of freedom and with an additional constraint of a fundamentally new type, called a force - speed constraint. The force - speed constraint imposes a force restriction on the movement of links, while maintaining the number of degrees of freedom in the kinematics. Monitoring the state of the developed gearbox in the form of a non-switchable gear variator is greatly simplified, since the largest number of faults occur in the control system, and there is no control system in the gear variator. It seems possible to apply the digital twin method to diagnose the developed simplified CVT.The proposed article is devoted to a theoretical description of a fundamentally new adaptive gearbox, created on the basis of the latest achievements in mechanics, with the prospect of developing a simplified monitoring and diagnostic system for it

Published: December 2022

En las últimas décadas se han llevado a cabo diferentes estudios que profundizan en las condiciones que explican el compromiso de los individuos con las tareas académicas. Estas investigaciones evidencian la necesidad de combinar factores cognitivos —las capacidades, conocimientos o estrategias— con aspectos de carácter motivacional, como la disposición, la intención o las creencias autorreferidas. En este contexto se sitúa este estudio, que tiene por objeto identificar perfiles motivacionales, en función de la autoeficacia y las metas académicas, y estudiar su relación con el compromiso (esfuerzo y persistencia en la tarea), las emociones (miedo al fracaso y afecto positivo) y con el rendimiento académico (matemáticas y ciencias). La muestra está formada por 7,524 estudiantes (50.9% mujeres) de Educación Secundaria que participaron en la evaluación PISA 2018 (M = 15.84, DT = 0.29). Empleando el Latent Profile Analysis se identificaron cinco perfiles motivacionales. Los perfiles con puntuaciones más adaptativas en autoeficacia y metas de aprendizaje reconocían menor miedo al fracaso, más afecto positivo, esfuerzo/persistencia y obtenían mejor rendimiento académico (científico y matemático). Discutidos a la luz de la teoría motivacional, los resultados de esta investigación evidencian el papel de la orientación a metas y las creencias de autoeficacia en la promoción tanto del compromiso y rendimiento académico como del bienestar emocional del estudiante.
A review of tidal embayment shoaling mechanisms in the context of future wetland placement
Authors: Krafft Douglas , Bain Rachel , Cadigan Jack , Styles Richard
Published: December 2022

Wetland construction in tidally influenced embayments is a strategy for beneficial use of sediment dredged from nearby navigation channels. These projects have the potential to alter basin morphology, tidal hydrodynamics, and shoaling trends. This special report provides a broad review of the literature related to engineering-induced changes in tidal range, salinity, tidal prism, tidal asymmetry, and other known causes of shoaling. Each potential shoaling mechanism is then evaluated in the context of wetland placement to provide a foundation for future beneficial use research. Based on a compilation of worldwide examples, wetland placement may reduce tidal amplitude and enhance ebb current dominance, thus reducing shoaling rates in the channels. However, constructed wetlands could also reduce the embayment’s tidal prism and cause accelerated shoaling relative to the pre-engineered rate. Because constructed wetlands are often created in conjunction with navigation channel dredging, the system’s morphologic response to wetland construction is likely to be superimposed upon its response to channel deepening, and the net effect may vary depending on a variety of system-specific parameters. Planning for future wetland placements should include an evaluation of local hydrodynamic behavior considering these factors to predict site-specific response.
Tepees associated with mobility of evaporite sulfate: The case of the Irati Formation, Permian of Paraná Basin, Brazil
Authors: Petri Setembrino , Fonseca Giannini Paulo César , Chahud Artur , Sayeg Isaac Jamil
Published: December 2022

Tepee structures, associated with cracks and intraformational breccias, are found in the basal part of the Thin Rhythmites Bed of the Irati Formation. The rhythmite alternates dark gray mm-thick laminae, formed by dolomicrite with crenulated microlamination rich in organic clay, and intermediate gray laminae, formed by dolarenite with peloids. Some of the rhythmic pairs are separated from each other by thin horizons (< 0.5 mm) with a concentration of quartz pseudomorphs of gypsum and/or pores resulting from bioturbation or dissolution. The close association of the peloids with microrosettes of early authigenic sodium sulfate, a typical salt of nonmarine brines, is suggestive of its formation under cyanobacterial action, favored by hypersaline conditions in inland lakes. This is consistent with the closing of the connection between the Paraná Basin and the Panthalassic Ocean, as has been suggested for the final stages of Irati sedimentation. The tepees analyzed are related to diapiric features of massive light gray dolomicrite, which is distinguished under the microscope as being poorer in organic matter and for presenting coalesced peloids (clots) rich in sodium sulfate. The hydroplastic rheology, overpressure, and density gradient required for the upward injection of light gray dolomicrite are attributed to supersaturation in water and the presence of eodiagenetic low-density hydrated sulfates (e.g., mirabilite and thenardite). Thus, the processes that form the tepees studied here differ from those described in previous models of lacustrine and lagoon tepees, especially regarding the fundamental role of the expansion and mobility of the sulfated dolomite sediment, controlled by the lake's hydrology and by the elevation of groundwater, without necessarily involving subaerial exposure processes.
On computational complexity, using randomized pooling for

convolutional neural network

Published: December 2022

Randomization is a technique used in algorithms as a strategy that uses a random source as part of its logic. It is used in traditional algorithms to reduce time or space complexity. Many efforts have been made to increase the precision of convolutional neural networks (CNN) in various application domains, but less has been done to minimize the computational complexity of this model. In this work, we introduce randomized pooling (RPool) for CNN. RPool has reduced the number of operations of the CNN. Consequently, the computation time of the algorithm is reduced and the accuracy is improved. The MNIST dataset is used to demonstrate the pooling layer (PL) of CNN and compare the results of standard CNN with our proposed RPool for CNN. The simulation results show that as the number of epochs increases, the training and testing time of our proposed RPool decreases while the accuracy increases. We achieved 96.95% accuracy at epoch 10 and 8.85% decrease in training time, which demonstrates the superiority of our proposed RPool for CNN over its competitor average pooling (AvgPool).

Self-incompatibility (SI) in the grass family (Poaceae) is controlled by a gametophytic two-locus system (S and Z). Recent studies have revealed several genes linked to the S and Z loci, but their roles remain largely unclear. Here, we discover that OlS1-HPS10 and OlS1-DUF247-1 control self-incompatibility of African wild rice (Oryza longistaminata), a Poaceae species. OlS1-HPS10 and OlS1-DUF247-1 encode a small extracellular pistil peptide and a pollen-specific transmembrane protein, respectively, which can physically interact with each other to form a potential membrane-based signaling module. Multiple independent knockouts of OlS1-HPS10 or OlS1-DUF247-1 by CRISPR-Cas9 result in the respective breakdowns of the pistil and the pollen function of the S1 haplotype in O. longistaminata, suggesting that they control SI in a self-recognition manner. Furthermore, the orthologs of both OlS1-HPS10 and OlS1-DUF247-1 are the Oryzoideae- and Pooideae-specific and their linkage occurred around 50 million years ago, showing that the S-locus originated in the early Oryzoideae lineage of the grass family. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the pistil OlS1-HPS10 and the pollen OlS1-DUF247-1 together form a self-recognition system to control the gametophytic SI in O. longistaminata, uncovering a Poaceae-lineage-specific innovation of SI mechanism in angiosperms.

The aim of this research is to simulate the future water balance of the silwani watershed, Jharkhand, India under the combined effect of land use and climate change based on Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and cellular automata (CA) Markov models. The future climate prediction was done based on daily bias-corrected datasets of INMCM5 climate model with Shared Socio-economic Pathway585 (SSP585) which represent the fossil fuelled development of the world. After successful model run, water balance components like surface runoff, groundwater contribution to stream flow and ET were simulated. The expected change in LULC between years 2020 to 2030 strongly contributed to increasing in groundwater contribution to stream flow whereas decrease in surface runoff. The result of this research work helps the planner for planning of any watershed for future conservation.

Currently, building an end-to-end dialogue system for multi-domain task-oriented dialogue has some enormous challenges. Dialogue systems must obtain entire dialogue states from all relevant domains in order to respond correctly. However, multiple domains are involved in the actual dialogue process, which increases the difficulty of obtaining the dialogue state. In addition, dialogue systems process diverse information such as dialogue history, dialogue state, dialogue act, and database across domains, resulting in natural responses. These complex dialogue information brings greater difficulties to response generation. In this paper, we propose a novel unified dialogue framework for multi-domain dialogue in task-oriented dialog, including three modules: Encoder, Dialogue State Tracker and Multiple Decoders. First, encoder module encode all text input into continuous representations. Secondly, we train the dialogue state tracker module with a stacked-attention architecture.It learns information from slot-atten structure and domain-atten structure to track dialogue state. Then, multiple decoders module consists of act decoder structure and response decoder structure. It combines information from different textual inputs while modeling dialogue act. Finally, we jointly train all the above modules to generate system responses. We conducted extensive experiments on the dataset MultiWOZ. The experimental results show that our model achieves state-of-the-art results on evaluation metrics compared to models from previous work.

Background: to explore the associations between the preferences of physical activities and sedentary activities and perceived stress in Chinese adults.
Methods: data from 9334 Chinese adults were extracted from the China Health and Nutrition Survey in 2015. The Perceived Stress Scale-14 was used to measure stress perception among adults. Activity preference is based on responses to six activities option questions, including walking or Tai Chi, sports, body building, watching TV, playing computer games and reading. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the associations between activity preference and perceived stress after adjusting for confounding factors.
Results: Activity preference was significant associated with perceived stress. Compared with low-stress group, participants’ preferences for four activities including walking or Tai Chi (OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.32-0.84), watching TV (OR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.16-0.63), playing computer games (OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.37-0.73) and reading (OR=0.57, 95% CI: 0.39-0.83) were negatively associated with perceived stress in middle-stress group; while participants’ preferences for all of the physical activities and sedentary activities were negatively associated with perceived stress in high-stress group.
Conclusions: The study demonstrates inverse associations between activity preferences and perceived stress. Activity interventions based on preferences may be helpful in promoting activity behaviors and reducing perceived stress.

Purpose
Osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by decreased strength of bone and increased risk of fracture in old age. Age and pathologic renal failure are independent risk factors for osteoporosis. However, it is not determined whether age related decreased renal function in the context of senescence can be considered as an independent risk factor for osteoporosis. Therefore, this study conducted to evaluate the effect of senescence induced renal failure on bone quality and trabecular bone score.
Methods
Using a cross-sectional design, this study was carried out based on data collected during BEH program on phase II. 2125 elderly participants aged more than 60 years old entered the study after fulfilling inclusion criteria and obtaining informed consent. They were examined for weight, height, abdominal and hip circumference and blood pressure measurement. All participants underwent DXA to assess bone mass density (BMD). Trabecular bone score (TBS) calculated using DXA apparatus software output. Univariate and adjusted multivariate linear regression were used to evaluate the associations.
Results
In univariate linear regression analysis there was a direct correlation between age-related renal failure and TBS (β = 0.038 and P = < 0.0001), neck of femur BMD (β = 0.047, P < 0.0001), lumbar BMD (β = 0.055, P < 0.0001) but after adjusting to BMI, age, sex, smoking and physical activity, there was not shown significant association for these variables.
Conclusion
It is hypothesized that in elderly aged more than 60 years old, age-related renal failure cannot be considered as an independent risk factor for osteoporosis.

Background:To investigate the results and analyze the diagnostic value of the combined application of EBUS-TBNA and T-SPOT in patients with granuloma in mediastinal-hilar lymph nodes.Methods:Patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA and pathologically confirmed as lymph node granulomatous lesions from January 2020 to May 2021 were retrospectively recruited. The baseline clinical characteristics, tuberculosis T cell spot test, pathological and imaging results of these subjects were collected. The common disease accompanied by granulomas lesion in mediastinal-hilar lymph nodes were analyzed and compared.Results:Our results represented that among 60 patients with lymph node granulomatosis, caseous necrosis was only detected in 2 cases, 13 cases with positive acid-resistant staining were diagnosed as lymphoid tuberculosis, however, none of them manifested the typical symptoms of tuberculosis poisoning. 5 cases were diagnosed as sarcoidosis, and oral prednisone acetate tablets were effective. T-SPOT test results showed a positive result in 26 cases, we noticed that the positive acid-resistant staining cases (T-SPOT detection in 9 cases) had higher antigen values of T-SPOT than the other 17 cases with positive T-SPOT (P＜0.01)Conclusion:EBUS-TBNA combined T-SPOT test has great significance to differentiate lymphoid tuberculosis and sarcoidosis, helping promote the diagnostic rate of granulomas lesion in mediastinal-hilar lymph nodes.

Background: The influenza viruses pose a threat to human health and medical services, and vaccination is an important way to prevent infection. However, the effectiveness of influenza vaccines is affected by various aspects. This study aimed to explore factors related to the immune response to influenza vaccines.
Methods: The study was conducted from 2019 to 2021, and a total of 593 volunteers were recruited from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 3 provinces in China. The hemagglutination inhibition assay was used to measure antibody levels. The Chi-square test, multivariable logistic regression analysis, and sum-rank test were used to analyze the factors associated with influenza vaccine immune response.
Results: The Chi-square test showed that seroconversion rates and response rate were associated with age group, vaccination history, chronic conditions, the frequency of colds, and region (P< 0.05). The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age was an important factor that affected participants’ seroconversion rates forA/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Victoria, and response status (18-64 vs. ≤5: OR=2.77, P <0.001; ≥65 vs. ≤5: OR=0.38, P =0.01; 18-64 vs. ≤5: OR=2.64, P=0.03). Vaccination history was also an affecting factor for A/H1N1, B/Victoria, and response status (yes vs. no: OR=0.4 / 0.44 / 0.25, P<0.001). The frequency of colds and chronic conditions were also affecting factors for participants’ seroconversion rates and response levels to different degrees. The sum-rank test showed that the fold changes for A/H1N1, B/Victoria, and B/Yamagata were associated with age group and vaccination history (P<0.01). The fold changes for A/H3N2 were associated with the frequency of colds (P<0.05), and those for B/Victoria were associated with gender and chronic conditions (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Vaccination history, age, health condition, and frequency of colds were important factors affecting the seroconversionrate of the influenza vaccine in human. There is a need for developing optimized vaccination strategies for vulnerable groups to improve the efficacy of influenza vaccines in human.

This work responds to what was reported in various audio-visual media channels and to queries and explanations gained from individuals and local residents on the causes of gaseous and thermal emissions from the earth near the vicinity of the village of Al-Hindaw in Dakhla city, the New Valley Governorate, Egypt. At the location of the fume exit area, magnetic, seismic, and electromagnetic geophysical investigation were carried out in attempt to ascertain the factor(s) responsible for the event in question. Rock samples are collected and studied geochemically and radiographically to assess their chemical compositions as well as the quantity of organic chemicals that may have contributed to the burning and temperature increase. In light of the results of the geochemical and geophysical research, it is believed that the self-ignitions are the result of near-surface reactions and oxidation instead of volcanic activity, such as the presence of magma or other comparable phenomena.

Exposome has become the hotspot of next-generation health studies. To date, there is no available effective platform to standardize the analysis of exposomic data. In this study, we aim to propose one new framework of exposomic analysis and build up one novel integrated platform “ExposomeX” to expediate the discovery of the “Exposure-Biology-Disease” nexus. We have developed 13 standardized modules to accomplish six major functions including statistical learning (E-STAT), exposome database search (E-DB), mass spectrometry data processing (E-MS), meta-analysis (E-META), biological link via pathway integration and protein-protein interaction (E-BIO) and data visualization (E-VIZ). Using ExposomeX, we can effectively analyze the multiple-dimensional exposomics data and investigate the “Exposure-Biology-Disease” nexus by exploring mediation and interaction effects, understanding statistical and biological mechanisms, strengthening prediction performance, and automatically conducting meta-analysis based on well-established literature databases. The performance of ExposomeX has been well validated by re-analyzing two previous multi-omics studies. Additionally, ExposomeX can efficiently help discover new associations, as well as relevant in-depth biological pathways via protein-protein interaction and gene ontology network analysis. In sum, we have proposed a novel framework for standardized exposomic analysis, which can be accessed using both R and online interactive platform (http://www.exposomex.cn/).
