Modern color image sensors face challenges in further improving sensitivity and image quality because of inherent limitations in light utilization efficiency1. A significant factor contributing to these limitations is the use of passive optical filters, which absorb and dissipate a substantial amount of light, thereby reducing the efficiency of light capture2. On the contrary, active optical filtering in Foveon-type vertically stacked architectures still struggles to deliver optimal performance due to their lack of color selectivity, making them inefficient for precise color imaging3. Here, we introduce an innovative architecture for color sensor arrays that employ multilayer monolithically stacked lead halide perovskite thin-film photodetectors. Perovskite bandgap tunability4 is utilized to selectively absorb the visible light spectrum's red, green, and blue regions, eliminating the need for color filters. External quantum efficiencies of 50%, 47%, and 53% are demonstrated for the red, green, and blue channels, as well as color accuracy of 4.5 in ΔELab, outperforming state-of-the-art color-filter array and Foveon-type photosensors. The novel image sensor design improves light utilization in color sensors and paves the way for a new generation of highly sensitive, artifact-free images with enhanced color fidelity.

Published: November 2024

Avian assemblages are not only influenced by spatial factors but also by temporal variations in environmental conditions, creating dynamic patterns of bird presence in a given area. This study examined environmental factors affecting bird assemblages in Ghana's coastal ecosystems. We conducted point transect sampling along a 15-km coastal stretch, analyzing bird abundance, richness, and diversity in relation to microclimatic variables and coastal boundary types. Cloud cover had a significant positive relationship with bird abundance (β = 0.02, p < 0.01), while time of day morning had a negative effect (β = -2.23, p < 0.001). Coastal boundary types significantly influenced bird richness and diversity. Lagoon bounded areas had a positive effect on richness (β = 0.23, p < 0.001) and diversity (β = 0.10, p < 0.01), while human settlement, and highway bounded areas had negative effects (β = -0.12, p = 0.026) and (β = -0.18, p = 0.016) respectively on bird richness. Indicator Species Analysis identified 19 species significantly associated with specific coastal boundary categories, with 11 species linked to lagoon bounded areas. These results show the relationship between environmental factors and avian assemblages in coastal ecosystems, highlighting impacts of human disturbance and climate-related factors.
Transcriptome analysis of non-coding RNAs and mRNAs in the dorsal root ganglion of peripheral nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain
Authors: Xiong Wanxia , Liu Yujia , Ge Xiaodong , Wang Jie , Wang Zhiyao
Published: November 2024

Background: Maladaptive changes in gene expression at transcriptional level in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) after nerve injury are critical for neuropathic pain genesis. Emerging evidence reveals the important role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in regulating gene transcription. Recent studies also have showed the contribution of ncRNAs to neuropathic pain. However, the expression profile of ncRNAs in the DRGs and potential regulatory mechanism in peripheral nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain are not fully clear.
Methods: We used bCCI neuropathic pain model induced by chronic constriction injury of bilateral sciatic nerves to study the expression profile and potential functional mechanism of micro RNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs) and messenger RNA (mRNA) in the DRGs by RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.
Results: A total of 47 miRNAs, 337 lncRNAs, 32 circRNAs, 2269 mRNAs, and 815 genes were differentially expressed (DE) in the DRGs of CCI mice 14 days after surgery.
KEGG analysis demonstrated nociception related signaling pathways were significantly enriched for DEncRNAs, including Rap1, Ras, and Hippo signaling pathway. GO analysis showed neuron related biological process, membrane related cell components, and binding related molecular functions were significantly enriched. The competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network of DEmiRNA-DEmRNA, DElncRNA-DEmRNA, and DEcircRNA-DEmiRNA existed in the DRGs of mice with neuropathic pain induced by peripheral nerve injury. In addition, 81 pain-related DE genes had protein-protein interactions (PPI) with each other.
Conclusion: Our findings indicated that ncRNAs are involved in the development of peripheral nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain. DEncRNAs may provide us with a new perspective in chronic neuropathic pain research and may become a potential target for pain treatment.

Published: November 2024

Objectives
To inform dysmenorrhea for exploring the possible pathogenesis of adenomyosis based on MRI classification criteria and serum CA125.
Methods
Patients before focused ultrasound ablation surgery were categorized into MRI -based severity group (Group A) and MRI -based non-severity group (Group B). Binary logistic regression was employed to identify the factors associating dysmenorrhea and CA125 level in total cohort and subgroups via MRI-based classifications criteria. The receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to assess the utility of CA125 for dysmenorrhea the subgroups.
Results
Patients in dysmenorrhea subtype exhibited higher CA125 levels compared with those in non-dysmenorrhea subtype in total cohort and Group A(P<0.05). In terms of those with dysmenorrhea, CA125 levels of Group A were shown to be higher when compared with those of Group B(P<0.05). In Group A, multivariate logistic regression showed that age and CA125 were related to dysmenorrhea in adenomyosis(P<0.05). CA125 level of 44.8 U/ml was demonstrated as the optimal cut-off point for dysmenorrhea by ROC curves in Group A. In relative to patients whose CA125 ≤ 44.8 U/ml, those with CA125 levels > 44.8 U/ml were more probably to suffer from dysmenorrhea. Furthermore, the multiple regression analysis demonstrated that CA125 level exhibited a positive correlation with the lesion volume and negatively related to age(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Patients with CA125>44.8 U/ml were prone to suffer from dysmenorrhea secondary to adenomyosis in MRI -based severity group. Besides, age and the lesion volume were associated with CA125 levels.

Authors: Alipour Shohreh , Afshari Aylar , Lavaee Fatemeh , Sardoo Maryam Shahrokhi
Published: November 2024

Background: Oral lichen planus is an inflammatory chronic disease affecting oral mucosa mainly managed by corticosteroids. However, corticosteroids’ adverse effects necessitate the exploration of alternative remedies. This study aims to assess the potential of Shilajit, natural material with healing properties, in treating oral lichen planus.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial (pilot study) involved fifty-six confirmed ulcerative, erosive, or atrophic non-dysplastic oral lichen planus lesions. Thirty lesions received Shilajit, Nystatin, and Triamcinolone acetonide0.1% mouthwash and twenty-five, Triamcinolone acetonide0.1% and Nystatin. Lesion size, Visual Analogue Scale, and Thongprasom were monitored over sixty days. Data was analyzed by SPSS 23.0. Independent samples t-test, Chi-squared test, repeated measures ANOVA, paired T-tests, and T-tests were performed.
Results: Lesion size reduction, pain alleviation, and healing rates (Thongprasom) were improved in both groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups in Visual Analogue Scale reduction. Thongprasom reduced significantly, more prominently, and was persistent in the case compared to the control group. Minimal side effects were reported in the Shilajit group.
Conclusions: This study shows the promising role of Shilajit in managing oral lichen planus and calls for further research to validate its efficacy and safety profile as a corticosteroid substitute.
Trial registration: The trial was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20120101008585N9).

Published: November 2024

Objective
Anterior clinoid process (ACP) pneumatization is an uncommon entity. The goal of the research was to explore the diagnostic characteristics and prognosis of the compressive optic neuropathy (CON) caused by ACP pneumatization.
Methods
Clinical information were retrospectively gathered via those in hospitals diagnosed alongside CON companied with ACP pneumatization at the Neuro-Ophthalmology Department at the Chinese People’s Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2021 to August 2023.
Results
A overall of thirteen sufferers ( three females and ten males, sixteen involved eyes) participated alongside an average age of 34.38 ± 16.12 years. All the eyes were assessed with the ACP pneumatization classification system established by Da Costa:pneumatization Type 0 occurred in 3/26 sides (11.5%), Type 1 in 8/26 sides (30.8%), Type 2a in 8/26 sides (30.8%), Type 2b in 5/26 sides (19.2%), Type 3 in 2/26 sides (7.7%). 69.6% (16/23) eyes had optic compressive neuropathy in these patients.Among the ten patients with bilateral pneumatization, only three induced bilateral compressive optic neuropathy. 37.5%(6/16) eyes with visual field defect as the first symptom. Ultimately, two patients had endoscopic sphenoidotomy and optic canal decompression surgery, resulting in improved visual acuity in the operated eyes.
Conclusions
CON caused by ACP pneumatization can lead to transient visual obscuration, varying degrees of visual field defects and vision loss. HRCT is advised in cases of unexplained vision loss and visual field defects to determine whether or not ACP gasification is occurring. While whether it requires surgery intervention and its effectiveness, still require large-scale research and verification.
Laparoscopic Surgery is Associated with Increased Risk of Postoperative Peritoneal Metastases in T4 Colon Cancer: A Propensity Score Analysis
Authors: Li Shuyuan , Wang Ye , Xin Cheng , Li Shihao , Jiang Wen Di , Zhang Chen Ming , Zhang Wei , Lou Zheng
Published: November 2024

Background
This study aims to evaluate the postoperative safety, long-term survival, and postoperative peritoneal metastases (PPM) rate associated with laparoscopic surgery (LS) for T4 colon cancer.
Materials and methods
After propensity score matching, there were 85 patients in each of the LS and Open surgery groups. The primary outcomes were the 2-year OS, DFS, and PPM rates.
Results
After matching, 85 patients in each of the groups. The LS group had a higher cumulative 2-year peritoneal metastasis rate (13.9% vs. 3.9%, P = .029), while the 2-year OS (83.0% vs. 84.2%, P = .860) and 2-year DFS (70.9% vs. 74.4%, P = .540) showed no significant difference, compared to the open surgery group. The time to resume diet and the postoperative hospitalization in the LS group were shorter. There were no significant difference harvested lymph nodes, time to remove the drainage and gastric tube, and postoperative complications. The multivariate analysis revealed that LS (HR = 10.783, P = .002), postoperative complications (HR = 17.181, P < .001), and pN stage (N1: HR = 5.786, P = .045; N2: HR = 8.579, P = .027, respectively) were all independent risk factors for PPM.
Conclusion
For non-metastatic T4 colon cancer, the LS does not affect postoperative safety and long-term survival. Therefore, it should not be considered an contraindication for locally advanced T4 colon cancer. However, it is crucial to fully recognize the potential risk of increased PPM associated with LS.
Latent-TGF-β has a domain swapped architecture
Authors: Nishimura Stephen , Jin Mingliang , Seed Robert , Shing Tiffany , Cheng Yifan
Published: November 2024

The multifunctional cytokine TGF-b is produced in a latent form (L-TGF-b) where a RGD containing homodimeric prodomain forms a “ring” encircling mature TGF-b, shielding it from its receptors. Thus L-TGF-b must be activated to function, a process driven by dynamic allostery resulting from integrin binding the L-TGF-b RGD motif. Here we provide critical evidence that defines a domain-swapped architecture of L-TGF-b, an essential component in the dynamic allostery mechanism of L-TGF-b activation.

Published: November 2024

This study addresses the need for an accurate and reliable discrete element model to understand the interaction between soil particles and planting mechanisms during the operation of watering drilling machines used for cultivating xerophytic shrubs in the desert regions of Inner Mongolia. Focusing on soil from the northwestern desert of Inner Mongolia, we calibrated the parameters pertinent to desert soil. Through Plackett-Burman experiments, we identified key factors that significantly affect the angle of repose. The range of these significant factors was further refined using steepest ascent experiments. Subsequently, a Box-Behnken experiment was conducted to establish a regression model for these significant factors, aiming to identify the optimal combination. We validated this optimal combination through a blend of simulation and physical experiments. The results reveal that the optimal combination of significant factors, determined from the angle of repose as the response variable, includes a static friction coefficient of soil-soil at 0.442, a rolling friction coefficient of soil-soil at 0.140, and a static friction coefficient of soil-steel at 0.305. By using the opening diameter and effective depth of the drilling machine as measurement benchmarks, the relative errors for the simulation and physical experiments were recorded at 2.9 % and 0.3 %, respectively. These findings affirm the accuracy and reliability of the measured parameters, thereby providing a theoretical foundation for understanding the interaction mechanisms between desert planting machinery and soil.

Authors: Storvig Eline , Harstad Ingunn , Iversen Valentina C. , Ehrnström Birgitta
Published: November 2024

Patients with drug resistant tuberculosis in Norway are often from immigrant backgrounds. In addition to undergoing long-term and demanding treatment, many face challenges related to their recent arrival in the country. This study aims to explore healthcare workers' perspective of psychosocial needs of these patients, focusing on challenges such as cultural barriers, communication, and the impact of social and economic conditions on patient adherence and well-being. By addressing these challenges, the study seeks to contribute to improved care strategies for immigrant patients with drug resistant tuberculosis.
Methods: A qualitative research approach was employed, involving 19 semi-structured interviews with healthcare workers; eleven nurses and six physicians, recruited from three university hospitals and primary healthcare of two municipalities. The study used thematic analysis to examine the data, with an emphasis on identifying patterns in participants' experiences and assessments.
Results: Hospital-based participants primarily described the psychosocial needs of patients during hospital isolation, while those working in primary healthcare mainly associated patients' needs with the delivery of tuberculosis medications. All participants emphasized that caring for immigrants with drug resistant tuberculosis involves addressing the diverse needs of individuals, distinguishing between newly arrived refugees, integrated immigrants, and well-educated migrant workers or foreign students. The thematic analysis identified four main themes: Caring for immigrants with diverse backgrounds and needs; The importance of trust and communication; Psychosocial needs during hospital isolation; Are outpatients` psychosocial needs recognized?
Conclusion: Trust in the healthcare system and effective communication emerged as essential for building relationships and addressing patients’ psychosocial needs. These factors underscore the importance of providing tailored, culturally sensitive care to ensure patients' understanding of and adherence to treatment and follow-up. The findings highlight the need to understand the psychosocial needs of both hospitalized patients and outpatients.
Deep generalizable prediction of RNA secondary structure via base pair motif energy
Authors: Zhou S Kevin , Zhu Heqin , Xiong Peng
Published: November 2024

RNA secondary structure plays essential roles in modeling RNA tertiary structure and further exploring the function of non-coding RNAs. Computational methods, especially deep learning methods, have demonstrated great potential and performance for RNA secondary structure prediction. However, the generalizability of deep learning models is a common unsolved issue in the situation of unseen out-of-distribution cases, which hinders the further improvement of accuracy and robustness of deep learning methods. Here we construct a base pair motif library which enumerates the complete space of locally adjacent three-neighbor base pair and records the thermodynamic energy of corresponding base pair motifs through de novo modeling of tertiary structures, and we further develop a deep learning approach for RNA secondary structure prediction, named BPfold, which employs hybrid transformer and convolutional neural network architecture and an elaborately designed base pair attention block to jointly learn representative features and relationship between RNA sequence and the energy map of base pair motif generated from the above motif library. Quantitative and qualitative experiments on sequence-wise datasets and family-wise datasets have demonstrated the great superiority of BPfold compared to other state-of-the-art approaches in both accuracy and generalizability. The significant performance of BPfold will greatly boost the development of deep learning methods for predicting RNA secondary structure and the further discovery of RNA structures and functionalities.

Thus, this study sought to establish the SERO-PREVALENCE of H. PYLORI among students of Abrar University in Mogadishu, Somalia.
Method: Cross-Sectional Study Design was carried out on students from Abrar University in the period of January 2022 to June 2022. The total number of students recruited for the study was 150. A structured, self-administered questionnaire was developed and used to collect the required data. For specimen collection and identification from students, simple random sampling was applied. In the above process, 3 to 5 mL of venous blood sample was obtained. After 5 minutes of centrifugation, serum was taken and utilized for a H. pylori serological test. Data was captured in the computer, coded and analyzed by SPSS 20 software.
Results: A total of 150 interviews were sought. The average age of the respondent was 20 years. H. pylori infection sero prevalence was 84 (56.4%). Risk increasing factors include: the ‘eating of spicy food’ (AOR 1.33: 95% CI = (2.203–80.692)), the length of sleep at night (AOR 0.011: 95 % CI= (0.001 – 0.110)), and Gender (AOR = 11.236, 95 % CI = 1.921–65.73) was one of the variables significantly associated with H. pylori.
Conclusion: Sero-prevalence for h. pylori infection was found to be high among students of Abrar University. This study aims to contribute to the authorities in the health sector where the findings will help in availing adequate measures to combat the H. pylori infection. Of particular importance, all the confirmed cases of infection with H. pylori must be treated in what is washing able and dry with contact, and provision of enough clean water to the students is highly critical in the prevention of the spread.
„Ich bin genauso Teil des Projekts irgendwie“ – Studentische Partizipation auf Ebene von studentischer Mitarbeit
Authors: Gartner Selina , Unterpertinger Erika
Published: November 2024

Tutor:innen und Studienassistent:innen sind für studentische Partizipation zentral: Sie erhalten einerseits Einblicke in universitäre Strukturen, andererseits ermöglichen sie Partizipation für andere Studierende. Der vorliegende, explorative Beitrag greift dieses im österr. Hochschulkontext noch wenig erforschte Feld auf und erforscht die Selbstwahrnehmung von studentischen Mitarbeitenden als studentisch Partizipierende. Die thematische Analyse von zwei Gruppendiskussionen mit studentischen Mitarbeitenden zeigt, dass studentische Mitarbeitende ein starkes Bewusstsein für das Ermöglichen von Partizipation anderer Studierender haben, sich selbst aber häufig nicht als partizipierend wahrnehmen.

Using manipulative media can help children who are having trouble learning mathematics. In addition to simplifying the learning process, this manipulative media helps pupils develop their capacity for original thought. Creative thinking abilities are crucial because it inspire students to try different approaches to addressing problems, promotes creativity, and raises their level of involvement in class activities. Despite the significance of creative thinking abilities, prior studies have shown that Indonesian students still need to improve their levels of these capabilities, particularly regarding integer operations. Thus, to fill this gap, this research developed Media Tangkas Operasi Bilangan Bulat (METABUL). This media used the ADDIE paradigm in research and development (R&D) to stimulate students' capacity for creative thinking. Interview guidelines, learning media validation questionnaires, and teacher and student response questionnaires are the data collection instruments used in this research. The research participants were six class VII junior high school students in Malang City with three validators (one practitioner and two experts). Research findings show that developing METABUL manipulative media has a high level of validity of 93.17% and a good response from teachers at 86% and students at 87.41%.
Eksplorasi Translasi Representasi Matematis Mahasiswa dalam Penyelesaian Masalah Analisis Validitas Argumen
Authors: Hadi Mei Rina
Published: November 2024

The ability to translate among mathematical representations is one of the 21st-century skills that students need to have. This ability is often challenging for students, especially in translating verbal to symbolic or visual forms. One of the materials that requires translation skills is argument validity analysis. This study aims to explore the mathematical translation process of students use in completing argument validity analysis. This study is a qualitative study with an exploratory approach. The subjects of the study were 3 Mathematics Education students who were selected through purposive sampling and analyzed in depth using Polya's problem-solving stages and Bosse's translation process. The results showed that the problem-solving process went hand in hand with mathematical translation activities. Subjects who carried out the mathematical translation process correctly and completely tended to solve problems better. Subjects made several mistakes in the translation process, including misinterpretation and implementation errors that resulted in inaccurate argument validity analysis. These findings indicate that mathematical translation skills are an important basis for solving argument validity analysis problems. Therefore, learning strategies that support the improvement of mathematical translation skills need to be developed to strengthen students' critical thinking skills in analyzing the validity of arguments at the higher education level.
Towards an Understanding of Black Girls’ Digital Activism: What the Black Girls’ Literacy Framework Reveals About the Digital Literacy Practices of Adolescent Black Girls
Authors: Odlum Lakisha
Published: November 2024

This qualitative study explored the digital literacy practices of adolescent Black girls who actively engaged on social media in the aftermath of the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. I employ intersectionality and the Black Girls’ Literacies (BGL) framework (Haddix & Muhammad, 2016) to analyze six qualitative interviews I conducted with adolescent Black girls who avidly used video sharing social media during that time. The data analysis aligned with the following components of the BGL Framework: Black girls’ literacies are intellectual, political, and critical. Moreover, the data analysis also revealed that Black girls espoused two different identities while using social media to address anti-Black violence. These themes were: Crafting Digital Narratives of the Self as Educators and Crafting Digital Narratives of the Self as Digital Activists. The study concludes with national, district-wide, and schoolwide recommendations for policy to improve the teaching and learning of adolescent Black girls.
Austrian Heart Association and WHO Self-Care Guidelines: A qualitative study
Authors: Mastnak Wolfgang
Published: November 2024

Background and Aim: In its 2022 revision of self-care guidelines, the World Health Organization underlines the irreplaceable function of high-quality self-care and emphasises that not only research into self-care, but also the development of self-care-specific research methods have to be intensified. Accordingly, improvement of translational cardiological self- care is a key challenge faced by the Austrian Heart Association (Österreichischer Herzverband = ÖHV), which has been dedicated to life-long/long-term rehabilitation and health promotion of heart patients for more than 40 years. In line with the WHO call for self-care specific research, a study to identify related characteristics and desiderates was carried out with 30 regional managers at the ÖHV federal state conference [ÖHV Bundesländertagung] in 2023.Methods: Through Mayring’s method of qualitative content analysis, raw data were regrouped into categories and frequencies/weights identified.Results: Well-known benefits such as social inclusion, empathetic communication, mutual support, health sports and information were distinguished in a future-oriented manner, e.g. with regard to expansion of sports disciplines alongside more transparent adjustment to individual cardiorespiratory conditions.Conclusion: Health policymakers are called to recognise the benefits of cardiac self-care and – according to WHO suggestions – improve its integration within national health systems, standardised financial support included.

Published: November 2024

This article considers the subject matter of jargon lexicon in the research field of language communication, determined by subcultural affinity or specific types of activities of various social groups. The research aims to define particularities of jargon words and collocations as linguistic means of information exchange within professional communities. The related objectives of the study are a categorical classification and matrix systematization of jargonisms with the view for practical application of the obtained data to the development of the pragmatic problems associated with concrete kinds of professional discourse. Accordingly, the tasks stated are performed by employing a systemic approach to the explored language material and with the help of discursive analytics of the discovered linguistic phenomena. The integrated use of the abovementioned methods enables to build a paradigmatic pattern of jargon vocabulary, which reflects the preceding theoretical concepts and opens a perspective for innovative empiric studies in the given linguistic area.

Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Belyaeva Elena G. , Wei Yu ,   St. Petersburg State University
Published: November 2024

The article presents a comparative analysis of the English- and Russian-language terminological field “radioactive waste and spent fuel management” and gives the structure of the explored term field, which includes 10 subfields. The collected data for this study includes 117 term units in English and their corresponding Russian-language terms from published IAEA documents available on the official website both in English and in Russian. Since many Russian-language terms have been borrowed from English, the main focus of the article was on the translation methods or translation transformations used during the development of the Russian-language term field. The quantitative analysis indicates that the most frequent translation method is calque. The article also presents the results of comparative component analysis of Russian and English terms.
