Published: September 2023

Background

In most countries, men are more likely to die by suicide than women. Adherence to dominant masculine norms, such as being self-reliant, is linked to suicide in men in Western cultures. We created a suicide prevention media campaign, “Boys Do Cry,” designed to challenge the “self-reliance” norm and encourage help-seeking in men. A music video was at the core of the campaign, which was an adapted version of the “Boys Don’t Cry” song from “The Cure.” There is evidence that suicide prevention media campaigns can encourage help-seeking for mental health difficulties.

Objective

We aimed to explore the reach, engagement, and themes of discussion prompted by the Boys Do Cry campaign on Twitter.

Methods

We used Twitter analytics data to investigate the reach and engagement of the Boys Do Cry campaign, including analyzing the characteristics of tweets posted by the campaign’s hosts. Throughout the campaign and immediately after, we also used Twitter data derived from the Twitter Application Programming Interface to analyze the tweeting patterns of users related to the campaign. In addition, we qualitatively analyzed the content of Boys Do Cry–related tweets during the campaign period.

Results

During the campaign, Twitter users saw the tweets posted by the hosts of the campaign a total of 140,650 times and engaged with its content a total of 4477 times. The 10 highest-performing tweets by the campaign hosts involved either a video or an image. Among the 10 highest-performing tweets, the first was one that included the campaign’s core video; the second was a screenshot of the tweet posted by Robert Smith, the lead singer of The Cure, sharing the Boys Do Cry campaign’s video and tagging the campaign’s hosts. In addition, the pattern of Twitter activity for the campaign-related tweets was considerably higher during the campaign than in the immediate postcampaign period, with half of the activity occurring during the first week of the campaign when Robert Smith promoted the campaign. Some of the key topics of discussions prompted by the Boys Do Cry campaign on Twitter involved users supporting the campaign; referencing the original song, band, or lead singer; reiterating the campaign’s messages; and having emotional responses to the campaign.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates that a brief media campaign such as Boys Do Cry can achieve good reach and engagement and can prompt discussions on Twitter about masculinity and suicide. Such discussions may lead to greater awareness about the importance of seeking help and providing support to those with mental health difficulties. However, this study suggests that longer, more intensive campaigns may be needed in order to amplify and sustain these results.

On local antimagic chromatic numbers of circulant graphs join with null graphs or cycles
Authors: Lau G. C. , Premalatha K. , Shiu W. C. , Nalliah M.
Published: September 2023

An edge labeling of a graph G = (V,E) is said to be local antimagic if there is a bijection f : E → {1,..., |E|} such that for any pair of adjacent vertices x and y, f +(x) ≠ f +(y), where the induced vertex label is f +(x) = 𝜮 f(e), with e ranging over all the edges incident to x. The local antimagic chromatic number of G, denoted by χla(G), is the minimum number of distinct induced vertex labels over all local antimagic labelings of G. For a bipartite circulant graph G, it is known that χ(G)=2 but χla(G) ≥ 3. Moreover, χla(Cn ∨ K1)=3 (respectively 4) if n is even (respectively odd). Let G be a graph of order m ≥ 3. In [Affirmative solutions on local antimagic chromatic number, Graphs Combin., 36 (2020), 1337—1354], the authors proved that if m ≡ n (mod 2) with χla(G) = χ(G), m>n ≥ 4 and m ≥ n2/2, then χla(G∨On) = χla(G)+1. In this paper, we show that the conditions can be omitted in obtaining χla(G∨H) for some circulant graph G, and H is a null graph or a cycle. The local antimagic chromatic number of certain wheel related graphs are also obtained.

Direct collection of biometric measurements (BM) from sheep is an expensive and stressful procedure for animals; instead, indirect and novel methods have recently been used. The objective of this study was to use digital image analysis (DIA) to predict biometric measurements of Pelibuey sheep as a non-invasive approach under on-farm conditions. Withers height (WH), body length (BL), body diagonal length (BDL) and rib depth (RD) were predicted in Pelibuey ewes using DIA. Images were taken from the left flank from 65 non-pregnant and non-lactating Pelibuey ewes using a digital camera and analyzed by DIA. The BM determined from both in vivo and by DIA presented a positive and moderate (P <0.05) correlation coefficients (r) of 0.43, 0.66, 0.73 and 0.75 for BL, BDL, WH and RD, respectively. Regression equations from BM by DIA had a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.19, 0.44, 0.54 and 0.56 for BL, BDL, WH and RD, respectively. The equations developed were from low to moderate precision (R2 = 0.18 to 55), moderate to high accuracy (Cb > 0.69) and low to moderate reproducibility index (> 0.30). Overall, the use of DIA was able to predict the BM in Pelibuey ewes with low to moderate precision and accuracy. Factors affecting the accuracy and precision of this relationship should be further investigated.

Se determinó la frecuencia de contaminación con Salmonella enterica (SE) en la carne molida de res que se comercializa en ocho capitales estatales del centro de México (n = 115), así como el fenotipo y genotipo de resistencia a antimicrobianos (RAM) de los aislamientos obtenidos. Se detectó SE en 48/115 muestras, con tasas variables de contaminación (10-80 %) por zona geográfica (c2 = 24.2, P = 0.0021). Se obtuvieron 116 aislamientos y se observó circulación de serotipos implicados en salmonelosis humana en México (Agona, Anatum, Infantis, Newport, Derby, Give y Typhimurium). La resistencia fue más frecuente en tetraciclina (39.7 %), cloranfenicol (37.9 %), estreptomicina (37.1 %), trimetoprima-sulfametoxazol (31.0 %) y ampicilina (28.4 %), moderada en azitromicina (14.7 %), escasa en cefalosporinas (2.6-3.4 %) y nula en carbapenémicos, mientras que 38.8 % de los aislamientos fue multi-drogo resistente (MDR). Los genomas secuenciados portaban alelos de resistencia contra aminoglucósidos (aadA, aac, aph), beta-lactámicos (bla-CARB, bla-PSE, bla-TEM, bla-CTX-M, bla-CMY), fenicoles (floR), inhibidores de la vía del folato (sul, dfrA), fluoroquinolonas (qnrAB, oqxAB), tetraciclinas (tetABM) y macrólidos: mph(A) y lnu(F). Se concluye que la carne bajo estudio es reservorio de SE con preocupantes fenotipos de MDR y que el patógeno ha adquirido genes de RAM contra antibióticos usados en medicina humana y veterinaria. El auge de resistencia contra azitromicina es particularmente alarmante y no se había reportado hasta el momento. Se requieren estudios más amplios para una mejor caracterización de la RAM en las poblaciones de SE asociadas con bovinos.

Abstract: In country like India road accident result in loss of lakhs of human as well as animals lives and severe injuries to crores of people. In India itself more than eighty thousand people are killed in road accidents every year. The present transport system has reduced the distances but it has on the other hand increased the life threat. In most of the cases accident arises either due to negligence or due to lack of road safety attentiveness of the road user. Our ambition is to provide road safety information for road users to inspire safer road user behavior among current and approaching road users and minimize the number of people killed and injured on roads each year. In this study, the section of road from “(Dhandhuka to Dholera road state highway 20)” near Ahmedabad in the state of Gujrat. Road having considerable traffic during day time and some black spots on the road where accidents takes place continuously. A detailed analysis of road is carried out on the basis of data collection like classified traffic volume study, accidental data collection, potholes on road data collection, road safety signs and symbols, crust details of existing road etc.
Los arraigos dinámicos en las ciudades como soportes frente a la vulnerabilidad
Authors: Barañano Cid Margarita , Santiago Jose
Published: September 2023

El desarrollo de la globalización ha provocado que muchos teóricos hayan diagnosticado que nuestro mundo está abocado a la movilidad, mientras que los lugares y los arraigos dejan de tener relevancia en la vida social. Sin embargo, parece que las cosas no transcurren de esa forma, si atendemos especialmente a los países de la Europa del sur y, de manera específica, a sus ciudades y barrios vulnerables.
Este artículo indaga en esta cuestión con tres objetivos. En primer lugar, buscamos poner de manifiesto la relevancia de los arraigos y proximidades en las sociedades y ciudades del sur de Europa, en diálogo crítico con esas perspectivas teóricas. A continuación, se da cuenta de su importante significación, en tanto que se nos revelan como soportes socio-existenciales frente a la vulnerabilidad. Por último, se analizan las transformaciones contemporáneas de estos arraigos, atendiendo a su carácter dinámico, es decir, mostrando de qué modo se combinan con las movilidades cotidianas y residenciales, sobre todo, en los barrios con situaciones de vulnerabilidad. La aproximación de carácter teórico-conceptual se fundamenta en una revisión crítica
Imágenes de la postvención del suicidio en España: metáforas, símbolos y discursos terapéuticos en las asociaciones de supervivientes
Authors: Castillo Patton Andy Eric
Published: September 2023

La postvención —la atención a allegados tras un suicidio— es un ámbito que se viene organizando y desarrollando con notoria fuerza en los últimos años en España por parte de asociaciones de supervivientes y de profesionales. Si bien de influencia política aún moderada, la emergencia de estas organizaciones representa un factor clave en la articulación de estrategias de contención de las conductas suicidas según recomienda, entre otras entidades, la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Con todo, el interés que suscitan dichas asociaciones está en no sólo en la problematización cívica del suicidio, sino en las estrategias terapéuticas comunitarias y extra-institucionales para afrontarlo. Por tanto, desde un examen cultural-estructural de la terapia y un enfoque metodológico de la Sociología Visual y la Semiótica, este trabajo observa la relevancia de un particular y plástico uso del lenguaje en la conformación de un marco “cívico-terapéutico” de las asociaciones de supervivientes en España.

Published: September 2023

An unfavorable sensory or emotional encounter connected to actual or potential tissue injury is referred to as neck pain, and it affects the region of the neck between the superior nuchal line and the first thoracic spinous process. Mechanical neck pain often commences insidiously and is of multifactorial etiology, causing disability and clinical symptoms. It is a comparative study where 30 male and female subjects were assessed and identified with Mechanical Neck Pain, recruited for the study, and randomly divided into two groups with 15 subjects in each group. Outcome measures were the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), goniometer, and neck disability index (NDI). Pre-Test and Post-Test were carried out for both groups and analyzed using paired 't-tests and independent 't-tests in an IBM SPSS statistics 26 software. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of muscle energy technique with conventional therapy vs. kinesio taping with conventional therapy in chronic mechanical neck pain, cervical range of motion, and functional disability of the neck. KT provides sensory feedback, tension, and afferent stimulation to reduce pain and improve ROM. It also helps in lymphatic and vascular flow and corrects misaligned structures. Muscle energy technique and Kinesio taping showed significant improvement in VAS, Goniometer, and NDI in mechanical neck pain patients, making them suitable for inclusion in mechanical neck pain treatment.
Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue by anatase TiO2 coating
Authors: Desch Nikolai , Rheindorf Angela , Fassbender Cornelia , Sloot Marc , Lake Markus
Published: September 2023

Photocatalytic coatings have the potential to contribute to the
purification of water via an advanced oxidation process (AOP) [1]. A
commonly used method for analyzing the mechanism of the photocatalytic
performance of a given reactor type is to document the degradation
behavior in a solution containing methylene blue. However, since
methylene blue is rather unstable, the degradation results should be
viewed critically. In this work, the degradation behavior of a test
solution with methylene blue on quartz glass surfaces coated with
photocatalytic titanium dioxide (TiO ) of the anatase
modification was investigated through a variety of different light
sources. The coating was deposited by the reactive pulsed DC magnetron
sputtering (MSIP-PVD) method described in [2], while the quartz
glasses were coated with a 100 nm thick TiO coating.
The same glasses were used for all experiments with TiO
. In the determination of the degradation rate,
additional experiments were performed using pure quartz glass without
any coating, which made it possible to examine the influence of
different light sources on the degradation rate of methylene blue in
general. Three different light sources, namely UV-A, UV-C, and simple
fluorescent lamps were used in this study. The concentration of
methylene blue was recorded by photo spectrometer in 10-minute
increments throughout the experiment and the experiments were performed
for 24 hours in all cases.
Ontogenetic shift or not? Different foraging trade-offs within the meso- to bathypelagic fish community
Authors: Loutrage Liz , Brind'Amour Anik , Chouvelon Tiphaine , Spitz Jérôme
Published: September 2023

During ontogeny, the increase in body size forces species to make
trade-offs between their food requirements, the conditions necessary for
growth and reproduction as well as the avoidance of predators.
Ontogenetic changes are leading species to seek out habitats and food
resources that meet their needs. These aspects are interesting to study
in the case of deep pelagic fishes, as a significant part of the
community migrates vertically at night to feed in the productive surface
layer, while other species remain at depth. To this end, ontogenetic
changes in nocturnal habitat (vertical use of the water column) and in
the type of food resources (based on stable isotopes of nitrogen) were
investigated in 12 species of deep pelagic fish from the Bay of Biscay
in the Northeast Atlantic. Our results revealed the existence of major
differences in the ontogenetic strategies employed by deep pelagic
fishes. Some species showed ontogenetic changes in both vertical habitat
use and food resources (e.g. Lampanyctus crocodilus and Melanostigma
atlanticum). In contrast, other species showed no ontogenetic change
(e.g. Searsia koefoedi and Notoscopelus kroyeri). Some species only
changed food resources (e.g. Myctophum punctatum, Arctozenus risso, and
Serrivomer beanii), while others seemed to be influenced more by depth
than by trophic features (e.g. Xenodermichthys copei and Argyropelecus
olfersii). These results suggest that to meet their increasing energy
requirements during ontogeny, some species have adopted a strategy of
shifting their food resources (larger prey or prey with a higher trophic
level), while others seemed to maintain their food resources but are
most likely increasing the quantity of prey ingested. In addition, some
species opted for a habitat change to greater depths at adult age to
limit the energy expenditure associated with migration, while others
continued to feed at the surface at night.
A Pilot Protection Scheme Based on High-frequency Transient Current Waveform Similarity for AC Lines Connected to HVDC Inverter Station
Authors: Duan JianDong , Song Wenqiang , Du Xiaotong , Zhao Yvhang
Published: September 2023

Affected by inverter fast control and commutation failure, most
protection schemes for AC lines connected to LCC-HVDC inverter
station(ACLs) have the problems of complex setting, weak anti-noise and
high demand for data synchronization. This paper proposes a pilot
protection scheme based on high-frequency transient current waveform
similarity. Firstly, with analyzing the fault traveling wave propagation
process, the obvious differences are found in the transient current
waveforms at both ends of the line when internal and external faults
occur. Then the similarity of transient current waveforms is measured
with the improved longest common similar subsequence (LCSS) method. And
the weak high-frequency current is extracted with the improved
synchronous squeezed S-transform (SST) method. Finally, a large number
of PSCAD simulation results show that the proposed protection method
does not require strict data synchronization, has strong anti-noise
performance, and is tolerant to the influence of abnormal point
fluctuations.
Horizontal and Vertical Differentiation: Approaching Endogenous Measurement in Intra-industry Trade
Authors: Dutta Sourish
Published: September 2023

The emergence of intra-industry trade has been studied through a fruitful interaction between theoretical explanations and empirical methods. Indicators have been developed to measure the intensity of intra-industry trading, which has led to the rise of theoretical models explaining the determinants of these trade flows. Empirical analyses have debated the need to distinguish intra-industry trade in horizontal differentiation from that in vertical differentiation. The first theoretical analysis of intra-industry trade showed that the determinants and consequences of this type of trade are different, depending on whether the traded products differ in quality. A method exists for distinguishing intra-industry trade between two countries in vertical differentiation from those in horizontal differentiation. This approach has limitations, leading to a need for an alternative method for separating and measuring intra-industry trade into horizontal and vertical differentiation.
Birth of the Sleepless Land
Authors: Halberg Simon
Published: September 2023

In this paper, I track the arrival of the sugar beet in Scandinavia and explore the technical changes, ecological implications and new social arrangements that followed in its wake. Based on ethnographic records and other historical material dealing with agricultural practices, I argue that an ethnological view that takes the agrarian landscape and the organisation of social life together as one analytical totality may be useful for addressing an important question: What are the implications in everyday life of an energy transition into—and out of—fossil-fuelled food production? The analysis demonstrates that the sugar beet arrived along with fossil fuels, steam ploughing, commercial fertiliser, migrant labour and agricultural consultants in a large infrastructural complex that significantly impacted the landscape. These material elements mirrored the historical victory of bourgeois industrial logic over peasant forms of life whose ecological cornerstone was the fallow land. Agricultural land became sleepless in the Anthropocene—and rural life became fossilised.

El quitosano es uno de los polímeros más utilizados en el área de ciencias de materiales. Las películas de quitosana pueden ser mejoradas añadiendo Mimosa Tenuiflora como ingrediente activo para potenciar el efecto regenerativo y antimicrobiano del biomaterial. Para la evaluación y uso de estos materiales en modelos in vitro e in vivo se requiere de su esterilización previa y una de las más utilizadas es la radiación UV. No obstante, se ha demostrado que estas sustancias están sujetas a rompimiento de sus cadenas poliméricas cuando se someten a diferentes tipos de radiación. Durante esta investigación se analizaron los efectos de la radiación UV en la cinética de degradación del material, utilizando microscopía óptica, FTIR y DRX, así como la pérdida de masa. Se concluye que la pérdida de masa está relacionada con el porcentaje de Mimosa Tenuiflora en la muestra, mientras que aumentando el tiempo de tratamiento por radiación UV tiende a estabilizar dicha pérdida de masa.
Spatial analysis and mapping of malaria risk areas using multi-criteria decision making in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria
Authors: Olagundoye Kehinde , Goparaju Laxmi
Published: September 2023

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects humans and poses a severe public health problem. Nigeria has the highest number of global cases. Geospatial technology has been widely used to study the risks and factors associated with malaria hazards. The present study is conducted in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. The objective of this study is to map out areas that are at high risk of the prevalence of malaria by considering a good number of factors as criteria that determine the spread of malaria within Ibadan using open-source and Landsat remote sensing data and further analysis in GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation (MCE). This study considered factors like climate, environmental, socio-economic, and proximity to health centers as criteria for mapping malaria risk. The MCE used a weighted overlay of the factors to produce an element at-risk map, a malaria hazard map, and a vulnerability map. These maps were overlaid to produce the final malaria risk map, which showed that 72% of Ibadan has a risk of malaria prevalence. Identification and delineation of risk areas in Ibadan would help policymakers and decision-makers mitigate the hazards and improve the health status of the state.
“Keeping Tabs”: Spanish Consular Activities in Key West, 1829–70
Authors: Perrone Sean T.
Published: September 2023

This essay describes the work of Spain's consuls in Key West between 1829 and 1870. Although Spain sold Florida to the United States in 1821, it retained a keen interest in Key West (primarily due to the city's proximity to Cuba). As their country's “eyes and ears,” Spain's consuls were expected to keep their superiors in Madrid briefed on the latest developments, a task they pursued with vigor.

Non-native tree species – defined as those species intentionally or unintentionally introduced by humans – have long been a part of the Alpine Space, providing numerous benefits, but also posing a potential threat to native biodiversity and related ecosystem services. Compared to the urban space where non-native trees comprise most tree species, the number of non-native trees in forests and plantations is relatively low. To evaluate potential risks and benefits of non-native trees in the Alpine Space, a transnational strategy for the responsible use and management of non-native trees is needed. The goals of the strategy are to tailor management practices for a sustainable and responsible use or admixture of non-native trees, to reduce the risks connected with the invasive potential of some non-native tree species, to help forests and urban areas to adapt to climate change, and to improve coordination and cooperation regarding best practices between different regions of the Alpine Space. A proposal was developed in a four-step process including expert-based assessment, stakeholder mapping, an extensive data review, and a public consultation. For implementing the strategy fully, strong collaboration among diverse stakeholders is anticipated and robust governance and an adequate long-term and fair funding scheme is needed.
Comment to Muralidhar and Domingo-Ferrer (2023) – Legacy Statistical Disclosure Limitation Techniques Were Not An Option for the 2020 US Census of Population And Housing
Authors: Garfinkel Simson
Published: September 2023

The Article Database Reconstruction is Not So Easy and Is Different from Reidentification, by Krish Muralidhar and Josep Domingo-Ferrer, is an extended attack on the decision of the U.S. Census Bureau to turn its back on legacy statistical disclosure limitation techniques and instead use a bespoke algorithm based on differential privacy to protect the published data products of the Census Bureau’s 2020 Census of Population and Housing (henceforth referred to as the 2020 Census). This response explains why differential privacy was the only realistic choice for protecting sensitive data collected for the 2020 Census. However, differential privacy has a social cost: it requires that practitioners admit that there is inherently a trade-off between the utility of published official statistics and the privacy loss of those whose data are collected under a pledge of confidentiality.
Forecasting the Volatility of Real Residential Property Prices in Malaysia: A Comparison of Garch Models
Authors: Suleiman Ahmad Abubakar , Othman Mahmod , Daud Hanita , Abdullah Mohd Lazim , Kadir Evizal Abdul , Kane Ibrahim Lawal , Husin Abdullah
Published: September 2023

The presence of volatility in residential property market prices helps investors generate substantial profit while also causing fear among investors since high volatility implies a high return with a high risk. In a financial time series, volatility refers to the degree to which the residential property market price increases or decreases during a particular period. The present study aims to forecast the volatility returns of real residential property prices (RRPP) in Malaysia using three different families of generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models. The study compared the standard GARCH, EGARCH, and GJR-GARCH models to determine which model offers a better volatility forecasting ability. The results revealed that the GJR-GARCH (1,1) model is the most suitable to forecast the volatility of the Malaysian RRPP index based on the goodness-of-fit metric. Finally, the volatility forecast using the rolling window shows that the volatility of the quarterly index decreased in the third quarter (Q3) of 2021 and stabilized at the beginning of the first quarter (Q1) of 2023. Therefore, the best time to start investing in the purchase of real residential property in Malaysia would be the first quarter of 2023. The findings of this study can help Malaysian policymakers, developers, and investors understand the high and low volatility periods in the prices of residential properties to make better investment decisions.

Authors: Soukhak Fahim , Urayeneza Olivier , A. Grasso Salvatore
Published: September 2023

Ischemic colitis (IC) occurs when blood flow to part of the colon is temporarily reduced. Most patients with IC usually have some associated comorbidities that affect mucosal perfusion. A long history of diabetes mellitus, vascular disease, atrial fibrillation, hypotension, and chronic kidney disease are comorbidities that need to be carefully considered in the diagnosis and management of the patient with IC. IC commonly manifests with a clinical trio of symptoms including abdominal pain, hematochezia, and diarrhea. Most cases are mild and self-limiting with a good prognosis, responding well to medical management including antibiotics and bowel rest; however, some dire situations may require surgical intervention. This case report will discuss clinical presentations, risk factors, diagnosis, and surgical treatment (subtotal colectomy with ileostomy) in a 50-year-old female patient with IC.
