Cold-responsive transcription factors in Arabidopsis and rice: A regulatory network analysis using array data and gene co-expression network
Authors: Edrisi Maryan Khazar , Farrokhi Naser , Samizadeh Lahiji Habibollah
Published: June 2023

Plant growth and development can be influenced by cold stress. Responses of plants to cold are regulated in part by transcription factors (TFs) and microRNAs, which their determination would be necessary in comprehension of the corresponding molecular cues. Here, transcriptomes of Arabidopsis and rice were analyzed to computationally determine TFs and microRNAs that are differentially responsive to cold treatment, and their co-expression networks were established. Among 181 Arabidopsis and 168 rice differentially expressed TF genes, 37 (26 novel) were up- and 16 (8 novel) were downregulated. Common TF encoding genes were from ERF, MYB, bHLH, NFY, bZIP, GATA, HSF and WRKY families. NFY A4/C2/A10 were the significant hub TFs in both plants. Phytohormone responsive cis-elements such as ABRE, TGA, TCA and LTR were the common cis-elements in TF promoters. Arabidopsis had more responsive TFs compared to rice possibly due to its greater adaptation to ranges geographical latitudes. Rice had more relevant miRNAs probably because of its bigger genome size. The interacting partners and co-expressed genes were different for the common TFs so that of the downstream regulatory networks and the corresponding metabolic pathways. Identified cold-responsive TFs in (A + R) seemed to be more engaged in energy metabolism esp. photosynthesis, and signal transduction, respectively. At post-transcriptional level, miR5075 showed to target many identified TFs in rice. In comparison, the predictions showed that identified TFs are being targeted by diverse groups of miRNAs in Arabidopsis. Novel TFs, miRNAs and co-expressed genes were introduced as cold-responsive markers that can be harnessed in future studies and development of crop tolerant varieties.
Correlation of bone density measured on CT chest with the severity of COVID-19 infection: A retrospective study
Authors: Bakhsh Noha , Banjar Mai , Baig Mukhtiar
Published: June 2023

Purpose

This retrospective study investigated the correlation between bone mineral density (BMD) and COVID-19 severity among COVID-19 patients who underwent chest computed tomography (CT) scans.

Methods

This study was carried out at the King Abdullah Medical Complex in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, one of the largest COVID-19 centers in the western province. All adult COVID-19 patients who had a chest CT between January 2020 and April 2022 were included in the study. The pulmonary severity scores (PSS) and vertebral BMD measurements were obtained from the patient’s CT chest. Data from the patients’ electronic records were collected.

Results

The average patient age was 56.4 years, and most (73.5%) patients were men. Diabetes (n = 66, 48.5%), hypertension (n = 56, 41.2%), and coronary artery disease (n = 17, 12.5%) were the most prevalent comorbidities. Approximately two-thirds of hospitalized patients required ICU admission (64%), and one-third died (30%). The average length of stay in the hospital was 28.4 days. The mean CT pneumonia severity score (PSS) was 10.6 at the time of admission. Patients with lower vertebral BMD (< = 100) numbered 12 (8.8%), while those with higher vertebral BMD (>100) numbered 124 (91.2%). Only 46 out of the total survived patients (n = 95) were admitted to the ICU versus all deceased (P<0.01). The logistic regression analysis revealed that an elevated PSS upon admission resulted in a reduced chance of survival. Age, gender, and BMD did not predict survival chances.

Conclusion

The BMD had no prognostic advantage, and the PSS was the significant factor that could have predicted the outcome.
Grandparental childcare and second births in China
Authors: Zhang Jing , Emery Tom
Published: June 2023

China has low birth rates at higher parities and intensive grandparental childcare. Despite this, there has been little empirical research into the role of intergenerational support in the transition to second birth. This study examines whether grandparental childcare increases the likelihood and speed of a transition to second birth in the context of relaxations in Chinese family planning policy and whether this differs for working and non-working mothers. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies (2010–2016), the association between grandparental childcare, mother’s working status and second childbirth are explored using split-population survival models to distinguish between the impact on the timing of fertility and ultimate parity progression. The odds of having a second child are four times higher for those who use grandparental childcare than those that don’t. Amongst those who have a second child, grandparental childcare leads to 30% lower odds of transition to second birth than those without grandparental care, each month. Grandparental childcare is also associated with maternal employment, which is itself associated with a sharp decrease in the transition to second birth. At the micro-level, grandparental childcare helps mothers continue working, which in turn defers a second birth. The results emphasise the importance of work-life balance strategies, such as grandparental care, in enabling women of childbearing age to realize their fertility intentions in combination with work.
Olympic cycle periodicity in women’s long and triple jumping performance between 1996 and 2019
Authors: Taha Tim , Roach Jada
Published: June 2023

Performance variability is present in a series of competition results in athletics. Some of the variability is random and some can be attributed to factors such as the environment and changes in the level of physical, mental, and technical states of the athlete. Changes in the state of the athlete may be due to the competition schedule. It has been shown that there is periodicity in performance aligned with the seasonal competition schedule in athletics and with the Olympic cycle in pooled athletics data dating from 1896 to 2008. We investigated whether Olympic cycle periodicity was present in modern era long and triple jumping in elite men and women. Top 50 performances per year in the horizontal jumps in men and women from 1996 to 2019 were used. Each performance was normalized to the best result from the previous Olympic year. Two-way ANOVAs revealed significantly lower mean normalized performances in top ten women compared to top ten men (p < 0.001) in both jumps. In both jumps, ten top-performing women also showed decreases between the Olympic year mean normalized performances and the 1st year following (Long Jump: p = 0.022, Triple Jump: p = 0.008). In triple jump, the decrease in performance was also found in the second year following the Olympics. Performances deciles ranked from 11th to 50th place showed a similar pattern in women’s triple jump but only for ranks 11 to 20 in the women’s long jump. The findings suggest that periodicity driven by the Olympic cycle exists in women’s long and triple jump at the elite level.
Effects of acupuncture on earthquake survivors with major psychiatric disorders and related symptoms: A scoping review of clinical studies
Authors: Kwon Chan-Young , Leem Jungtae , Kim Da-Woon , Kwon Hui-Ju , Park Hyun-Seo , Kim Sang-Ho
Published: June 2023

Background

This scoping review aimed to determine the current research status of acupuncture for major psychiatric disorder (MPD) in earthquake survivors.

Method

We followed the scoping review process described previously. A literature search on 14 electronic databases was conducted from inception to November 29, 2022. Data from the included studies were collected and descriptively analyzed to address our research question. Extracted data were collated, synthesized, and summarized the according to the analytical framework of a scoping review.

Result

This scoping review included nine clinical studies: four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and five before–after studies. The most frequent MPD type among the included acupuncture studies was posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; 6/9, 66.67%). The most frequent acupuncture type was scalp electro-acupuncture (4/9, 44.44%), followed by manual acupuncture and ear acupressure/ear acupuncture (3/9, 33.33%). Studies using scalp electro-acupuncture all used common acupoints, including GB20, GV20, GV24, and EX-HN1. In general, the treatment period lasted between 4 and 12 weeks. Validated assessment tools for PTSD severity and accompanying symptoms were used for patients with PTSD, while the corresponding evaluation tools were used for patients with other diagnoses or clinical symptoms. Acupuncture-related adverse events were generally mild and temporary, such as mild bleeding and hematoma, and syncope was a rare but potentially serious adverse event (1/48 patients and 1/864 sessions over a treatment period of 4 weeks).

Conclusion

Acupuncture studies for MPD after an earthquake mainly focused on PTSD. RCTs accounted for around half of the included studies. Scalp electro-acupuncture was the most common acupuncture type, and EX-HN1 and GV24 were the most important acupoints in the acupuncture procedures for MPD. The included studies mostly used validated symptom assessment tools, though some did not. Clinical studies in this field need to be further expanded regardless of the study type.

Prevalence of selected cardiometabolic risk factors in the global ART-naïve HIV infected population: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Ebasone Peter Vanes , Peer Nasheeta , Dzudie Anastase , Kengne Andre Pascal
Published: June 2023

Introduction

People living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) are at increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases attributable to the effects of the virus, antiretroviral therapy (ART) and traditional risk factors. Most studies have focused on assessing the effect of ART on cardiometabolic diseases in PLHIV with fewer studies assessing the cardiometabolic risk profile prior to exposure to ART. Therefore, this protocol is for a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the global prevalence of selected cardiometabolic risk factors in ART-naïve PLHIV and their association with HIV specific factors.

Methods

We shall conduct a systematic search of observational studies on the prevalence of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia in ART-naïve PLHIV and their association with HIV specific characteristics. We will search PubMed-MEDLINE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Academic Search Premier, Africa-Wide Information and Africa Journals Online databases to identify relevant studies published before June 2022. Two authors will independently screen, select studies, extract data, and conduct risk of bias assessments. Disagreements between the two authors will be resolved by consensus or consulting a third reviewer. Data consistently reported across studies will be pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Heterogeneity will be evaluated using Cochrane’s Q statistic and quantified using I2statistics. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015 guidelines are used for the reporting of this protocol.

Discussion

This review will help determine the burden of selected cardiometabolic diseases in ART-naïve HIV-infected populations and the contribution of HIV infection, independent of ART, to cardiometabolic diseases in PLHIV. It will provide new information that can help orientate future research and potentially guide healthcare policy making. This is part of a thesis that will be submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town, for the award of a PhD in Medicine with protocol ethical clearance number (UCT HREC 350/2021).

Research on the impact of industrial robot application on the status of countries in manufacturing global value chains
Authors: Yuan Wenhua , Lu Weixiao
Published: June 2023

The fast growth in the installation of industrial robots has had a major impact on the comparative advantage of nations and the division of labor in global value chains in the era of smart manufacturing. Using various econometric models and panel data from 18 industries in 38 countries from 2000 to 2014, this paper empirically examines the impact of industrial robot applications on the status of countries in manufacturing global value chains and its mechanisms. The study demonstrates that industrial robot application can effectively improve the status of countries in manufacturing global value chains, and this improving effect is more obvious for developing countries and labor-intensive and technology-intensive industries. Mechanism testing shows that industrial robot application can effectively enhance the development level of highly skilled human capital and productive service industries, thereby improving the status of the manufacturing global value chain. This study provides a theoretical basis and policy reference for countries to enhance their status in the global value chain through industrial robot applications in the future.
Ancient segmentally duplicated LCORL retrocopies in equids

Published: June 2023

LINE-1 is an active transposable element encoding proteins capable of inserting host gene retrocopies, resulting in retro-copy number variants (retroCNVs) between individuals. Here, we performed retroCNV discovery using 86 equids and identified 437 retrocopy insertions. Only 5 retroCNVs were shared between horses and other equids, indicating that the majority of retroCNVs inserted after the species diverged. A large number (17–35 copies) of segmentally duplicated Ligand Dependent Nuclear Receptor Corepressor Like (LCORL) retrocopies were present in all equids but absent from other extant perissodactyls. The majority of LCORL transcripts in horses and donkeys originate from the retrocopies. The initial LCORL retrotransposition occurred 18 million years ago (17–19 95% CI), which is coincident with the increase in body size, reduction in digit number, and changes in dentition that characterized equid evolution. Evolutionary conservation of the LCORL retrocopy segmental amplification in the Equidae family, high expression levels and the ancient timeline for LCORL retrotransposition support a functional role for this structural variant.
CoAt-Mixer: Self-attention deep learning framework for left ventricular hypertrophy using electrocardiography
Authors: Ryu Ji Seung , Lee Solam , Chu Yuseong , Ahn Min-Soo , Park Young Jun , Yang Sejung
Published: June 2023

Left ventricular hypertrophy is a significant independent risk factor for all-cause mortality and morbidity, and an accurate diagnosis at an early stage of heart change is clinically significant. Electrocardiography is the most convenient, economical, and non-invasive method for screening in primary care. However, the coincidence rate of the actual left ventricular hypertrophy and diagnostic findings was low, consequently increasing the interest in algorithms using big data and deep learning. We attempted to diagnose left ventricular hypertrophy using big data and deep learning algorithms, and aimed to confirm its diagnostic power according to the differences between males and females. This retrospective study used electrocardiographs obtained at Yonsei University Wonju Severance Christian Hospital, Wonju, Korea, from October 2010 to February 2020. Binary classification was performed for primary screening for left ventricular hypertrophy. Three datasets were used for the experiment: the male, female, and entire dataset. A cutoff for binary classification was defined as the meaningful as a screening test (<132 g/m2 vs. ≥132 g/m2, <109 g/m2 vs. ≥109 g/m2). Six types of input were used for the classification tasks. We attempted to determine whether electrocardiography had predictive power for left ventricular hypertrophy diagnosis. For the entire dataset, the model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve of 0.836 (95% CI, 0.833–838) with a sensitivity of 78.37% (95% CI, 76.79–79.95). For the male dataset, the AUROC was 0.826 (95% CI, 0.822–830) with a sensitivity of 76.73% (95% CI, 75.14–78.33). For the female dataset, the AUROC was 0.772 (95% CI, 0.769–775) with a sensitivity of 72.90% (95% CI, 70.33–75.46). Our model confirmed that left ventricular hypertrophy can be classified to some extent using electrocardiography, demographics, and electrocardiography features. In particular, a learning environment that considered gender differences was constructed. Consequently, the difference in diagnostic power between men and women was confirmed. Our model will help patients with suspected left ventricular hypertrophy to undergo screening tests at a low cost. In addition, our research and attempts will show the expected effect that gender-consideration approaches can help with various currently proposed diagnostic methods.
Developing interpretable machine learning-Shapley additive explanations model for unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils stabilized with geopolymer
Authors: Ngo Anh Quan , Nguyen Linh Quy , Tran Van Quan
Published: June 2023

This paper seeks to develop an interpretable Machine Learning (ML) model for predicting the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of cohesive soils stabilized with geopolymer at 28 days. Four models including Random Forest (RF), Artificial Neuron Network (ANN), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), and Gradient Boosting (GB) are built. The database consists of 282 samples collected from the literature with three different types of cohesive soil stabilized with three geopolymer categories including Slag-based geopolymer cement, alkali-activated fly ash geopolymer and slag/fly ash-based geopolymer cement. The optimal model is selected by comparing their performances with each other. The values of hyperparameters are tuned by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and K-Fold Cross Validation. Statistical indicators show the superior performance of the ANN model with three metrics performance such as coefficient of determination R2 = 0.9808, Root Mean Square Error RMSE = 0.8808 MPa and Mean Absolute Error MAE = 0.6344 MPa. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the influence of different input parameters on the UCS of cohesive soils stabilized with geopolymer. The order of feature effect can be ordered in descending order using the Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) value as follows: Ground granulated blast slag content (GGBFS) > Liquid limit (LL) > Alkali/Binder ratio (A/B) > Molarity (M) > Fly ash content (FA) > Na/Al > Si/Al. The ANN model can obtain the best accuracy using these seven inputs. LL has a negative correlation with the growth of unconfined compressive strength, whereas GGBFS has a positive correlation.
Chemical composition of organic acid digest from a municipal wastewater treatment plant and chemical modeling of nuisance struvite formation and phosphorus recovery as brushite
Authors: Barak Phillip , Davidson Christy , Minks Amanda
Published: June 2023

Modern municipal wastewater treatment often includes an anaerobic digestion step with a hydraulic retention time of ~1.5 days before the main anaerobic digestors. This step, often termed the organic acid digester or “acid digester” for short, produces a sludge characterized by lower pH, higher volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations, and high soluble phosphorus (P) concentrations, particularly if fed sludge from an enhanced biological phosphorus removal process. Here, the analysis of major ions, organic and inorganic, in the organic acid digest from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), Nine Springs, Madison, Wisconsin (USA), is reported for a period of 13 weeks. The bioengineered origin of this organic acid digest makes its composition unlike natural waters of any kind. From the chemical composition, the course of subsequent processes can be predicted by chemical modelling. Methanogenesis using VFAs as substrates is predicted to raise digest pH to the point where struvite is expected to form, and nuisance struvite is routinely observed at Nine Springs. Addition of calcium hydroxide to organic acid digest is expected to precipitate ~90% of soluble P from solution as the calcium phosphate mineral brushite at near neutral pH, confirmed by a pilot plant at Nine Springs. This study demonstrates the possible application of chemical analysis and chemical modelling in wastewater systems to predict and possibly adaptively manage waste streams to curb nuisance struvite formation and predict P recovery, and could be refined through broader testing and application at other wastewater treatment facilities.

Published: June 2023

This research has entitled the development of mathematics educational games in the form of power points for children aged 5-6 years to produce learning media that attract children's interest in mathematics learning at Muthiah Islamic School Kindergarten, Kayuagung. This development uses a combination of the Alessi & Trollip model and formative evaluation from Tessmer. Data collection techniques use expert reviews, interviews, and observations. The results showed that the one-to-one evaluation stage obtained an average of 86% of children's observation results on eight themes with very good categories, so the product was declared practical and easy to use for children. Meanwhile, in the small group evaluation stage, the average results of children's observations on eight themes were obtained by 92% with excellent categories. From all the stages that have been carried out, it can be concluded that mathematical educational games in the form of power points are declared valid and practical for children.

Published: June 2023

The understanding of the importance of intercultural communication carried out by the Indonesian Diaspora in Turkiye can provide an accurate picture of the actual conditions of the processes that occur in intercultural communication between Indonesian culture and Turkish culture. Qualitative descriptive research in this research was carried out with in-depth interviews with three respondents who were in Turkiye. Each represented the Indonesian diaspora in the scope of Government, namely the Cultural Attaché of the Republic of Indonesia, then the Indonesian Student Association in Turkiye, and Indonesian workers who were active in Turkiye. Research reveals that the pattern of the Indonesian diaspora in conducting intercultural communication is by understanding each other between two or more cultures and establishing close relationships in the work environment, study environment, to the social and Government environment, including an approach with adaptability to socializing styles, culinary, to the artistic attractions of each culture. With this understanding and adaptation attitude, it turns out that the Indonesian diaspora also opens up opportunities to become bridging agents in the exchange of two cultures, Indonesia and Turkiye, and shows the occurrence of a two-way intercultural communication process.

Menjadi petani di Negara beriklim tropis seperti Indonesia, kemampuan memahami kondisi iklim sebagai faktor utama yang dapat membantu menentukan keberhasilan budidaya pertanian yang dilakukan. Tidak terkecuali pada petani padi sawah, kondisi iklim berupa pergantian musim berpengaruh pada terjadinya fluktuasi jumlah curah  hujan dan menjadi penentu baik atau tidaknya tumbuh tanaman padi. Studi ini fokus untuk mengkaji relasi spasial dari adanya perubahan jumlah hujan yang didapat dari hasil interpolasi inverse distance weighted (IDW) dan  perubahan indeks vegetasi dari normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) dari multi-temporal citra Sentinel 2, terhadap jumlah hasil panen padi petani yang diperoleh dari hasil wawancara. Relasi dari ketiganya akan menghasilkan suatu prediksi pendapatan petani dalam setiap musim tanam berdasarkan model regresi tunggal dan berganda. Hasil dari kajian ini diperoleh adanya variasi nilai akurasi prediksi pendapatan petani yang bertambah baik berdasarkan nilai root mean square error (RMSE), yakni 0.18-0.19 untuk relasi berganda antara hasil panen padi terhadap jumlah curah hujan dan NDVI, dan 0.535-0.659 untuk model regresi tungal terhadap NDVI. Dari nilai RMSE terbaik, diperoleh prediksi pendapatan petani padi berkisar antara Rp. 2.4– 4.7 juta per ¼ hektar di setiap musim tanamnya.

Pendaftaran Tanah Sistematis Lengkap atau yang lazim diakronimkan sebagai PTSL saat ini sudah dijalankan selama 5 (lima) tahun. Berbagai dinamika, masalah, kendala terjadi pada pelaksanaannya dari tahun ke tahun. Tahun demi tahun pula, solusi-solusi berupa troubleshoot baik secara teknis, legal, maupun sistem telah diimplementasikan sehingga PTSL tahun ke-5 ini dianggap telah menyempurnakan pelaksnakan PTSL tahun-tahun sebelumnya.Namun pada kenyataannya, kegiatan PTSL belum berjalan sempurna. Petunjuk teknis yang telah disusun tidak dijalankan secara maksimal di daerah. Terdapat miss pada aspek pengumpulan data fisik, pengumpulan data yuridis maupun pada saat penentuan output. Selain itu, terjadi pula pandemi COVID pada tahun 2019 yang menyebabkan perlambatan program pemerintah termasuk PTSL. Dan yang sedang menjadi masalah saat ini adalah dianggapnya produk K3 pada kegiatan PTSL sebagai produk backlog, atau dibahasakan sebagai ‘produk K1 yang tertunda’.Sebagai kerja besar, Pendaftaran Tanah Sistematis Lengkap semasif yang dilaksanakan di Indonesia, patut diapresiasi sebagai langkah untuk memperbaiki tata administrasi pertanahan yang masih dianggap berbelit, sulit dan penuh birokrasi, dan dapat dianggap sebagai pembelajaran bagi pelaksanaan pendaftaran masif di belahan dunia yang lain.

Dieser Text diskutiert anhand von empirischen Studien aus Deutschland und Österreich die „multiple Prekarität“ migrantischer Arbeiter:innen in der Pandemie. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei Sektoren, die gerade auch in der Covid-19-Krise für problematische Arbeitsbedingungen öffentlich kritisiert worden sind und in genau dieser Zeit einen ökonomischen Boom erlebt haben. Es steht hier, angesichts der Masseninfektionen in solchen Sektoren, zunächst die Frage nach gesundheitlichen Herausforderungen im Raum, die wir sodann mit Fragen nach der Informalisierung von Beschäftigung, einer Analyse zum Zusammenhang zwischen Aufenthaltsregimen, sozialen Rechten und Prekarität sowie der Diskussion zur Rassifizierung von Zuschreibungen im Arbeitsprozess systematisieren. Zudem stellt sich die Frage nach Veränderungspotenzialen und Teilhabe von Arbeitenden, die mit „multipler Prekaritat“ konfrontiert sind.
Informal Networked Deliberation: How Mass Deliberative Democracy Really Works
Authors: Tanasoca Ana
Published: June 2023

Deliberative democracy started out as an ideal for mass democracy. Lately, however, its large-scale ambitions have mostly been shelved. This article revivifies the ideal of mass deliberative democracy by offering a clear mechanism by which everyone in the community can be included in the same conversation. The trick is to make use of people’s overlapping social communicative networks through which informal deliberative exchanges already occur on an everyday basis. Far from being derailed by threats of polarization, echo chambers, and motivated reasoning, informal networked deliberation can indeed put everyone in touch, directly or indirectly, with everyone else.
From Prejudice to Polarization and Rejection of Democracy
Authors: Pickel Gert , Pickel Susanne
Published: June 2023

With the growing success of right-wing populism, there has been an explosion of debates on polarization and social cohesion. In part, social cohesion is seen as being disrupted by right-wing populists and those who blame migration for this alleged disruption of cohesion. The developing polarization is not only social, but also political, so that in some cases there is already talk of a new cleavage. On the one hand, there are right-wing populists, people who do not want any major changes or who have problems with globalization; on the other hand, there are those who want to push through a transformation towards a ‘truly’ pluralistic society. Two issues in particular serve as bridges for this polarization: Muslim migration and the expansion of sexual and gender diversity. Positions on these two issues mark the content that facilitates the consolidation of opposing group identities. As a result, debates about values and identity dominate, leading to a polarization that reaches far into society.

-a priori estimates for degenerate complex Monge–Ampère equations on complex manifolds.
It only relies on compactness and envelopes properties of quasi-plurisubharmonic functions.
In a prequel [Quasi-plurisubharmonic envelopes 1: Uniform estimates on Kähler manifolds, preprint (2021), https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.04273], we have shown how this method allows one to obtain new and efficient proofs of several fundamental results in Kähler geometry.
In [Quasi-plurisubharmonic envelopes 2: Bounds on Monge–Ampère volumes, Algebr. Geom.
9 (2022), 6, 688–713], we have studied the behavior of Monge–Ampère volumes on hermitian manifolds.
We extend here the techniques of the former to the hermitian setting and use the bounds established in the latter, producing new relative a priori estimates, as well as several existence results for degenerate complex Monge–Ampère equations on compact hermitian manifolds.

Published: June 2023

This paper analyses the reception of Babi Yar: A Document in the Form of a Novel outside the USSR (England, United States, France). Actually, the censored version of the novel was more critically acclaimed than its full version published after Kuznetsov’s defection to the West. The poor reception may be partly due to the fact that Babi Yar did not match the canon of Holocaust literature.
A review of rutting in asphalt concrete pavement
Authors: Albayati Amjad H.
Published: June 2023

Undoubtedly, rutting in asphalt concrete pavement is considered a major dilemma in terms of pavement performance and safety faced by road users as well as the road authorities. Rutting is a bowl-shaped depression in the wheel paths that develop gradually with the increasing number of load applications. Heavy axle loadings besides the high pavement summer temperature enhance the problem of rutting. According to the AASHTO design equation for flexible pavements, a 1.1 in rut depth will reduce the present serviceability index of relatively new pavement, having no other distress, from 4.2 to 2.5. With this amount of drop in serviceability, the entire life of the pavement in effect has been lost. Therefore, it is crucial to look at the mechanism, possible reasons, as well as techniques, to reduce the rutting in order to offer long service life and safe roadways. To this end, the need has been arising for this research which deals mainly with a thorough review of the existing literature to highlight some key points for the researchers and pavement engineers related to rutting mechanism, measurement, and criteria, both intrinsic (mixture variables) and extrinsic (traffic and temperature) contributory factors to rutting, material characterization, test methods, and prediction methodologies, as well as possible ways to minimize the rutting distress in asphalt concrete pavement. So far, this research attempts to bridge the gap in the literature that frequently only addresses a single aspect of rutting by providing an in-depth review of rutting in asphalt concrete and thereby offers a complete comprehensive understanding of this major distress type.

Published: June 2023

The single exponential kinetics (SEK) and parallel exponential kinetics (PEK) models were fitted to kinetic sorption data of welded and unwelded Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). Furthermore, diffusion coefficients of water vapour in wood were determined using two different Fickian diffusion solutions. The objective was to identify how well these models could represent the moisture contents of the specimens and to characterize differences between the sorption behaviour of welded and unwelded wood. This knowledge can be used to enhance the moisture resistance of welded wood, develop drying schedules, and improve the quality of timbers. The PEK and SEK models provided the most precise and the second most precise fits to the sorption kinetic data, respectively. The two Fickian models are equivalent when both the infinite series are truncated at

$n=10$

. The Fickian models also exhibited the highest discrepancy with the experimental data. Nevertheless, the Fickian models fit relatively better to the sorption data of the welded wood than to that of the unwelded wood. This behaviour may be due to the rigid and less-swelling structure of the welded bond line.

A treatment to improve the reaction to fire of wood is the wood mineralization. Besides the reaction to fire of the mineralized wood, other mechanical and physical properties are less investigated. In this study, beech and oak were treated in a 2-step mineralization process to obtain calcium oxalate mineralized wood. The 2-step mineralization process is carried out by impregnating two salts diluted in water into the wood, consecutively. Two formulations were applied. For Formulation 1, potassium oxalate and calcium acetate and for Formulation 2 potassium oxalate and calcium chloride were used. Aim of the study is to investigate the impact of the treatments and in combination of the moisture on some selected properties of the mineralized wood. These properties are the swelling due to the mineralization treatment, the Brinell hardness and the volatile organic compounds emissions. The 2-step mineralization treatments increased the moisture adsorption of wood. However, the removal of unreacted precursors due to leaching provides a material with comparable moisture dynamics to untreated wood. Swelling, hardness and volatile organic compounds emissions are decreased by the mineralization. However, leaching of the reaction by-products leads to a material with comparable properties to those of untreated wood.

At a time when global climate change poses a major challenge to human survival and development, all countries believe that people must actively deal with green and low-carbon (LC) development. As one of the hot topics in recent years, the concepts of “carbon neutral” and “carbon peak” have a significant impact on the construction of New Energy (NE) systems. The construction of NE systems with NE as the main component is an important way to achieve the “double carbon” goal. Affected by the “double carbon” goal, the energy system has shifted to a low carbon and high intensity system, reducing the dependence on fossil fuel power generation, accelerating the use of clean energy, and promoting the supply system of low carbon and clean energy. In order to improve the LC construction of electric power, this article studied the key technologies of LC index construction of electric power under the background of “double carbon”. This article first introduced the LC construction of urban electric power, including the connotation of LC electric power, the current situation of NE development and the difficulties of LC construction of electric power in the context of “double carbon”. Then this article constructed a new type of LC Power System (PS) on the basis of double carbon, and introduced the framework of the system and the key technologies included in the system. Finally, this article verified the effectiveness of the new LC PS in LC construction through experiments, and put forward suggestions for the realization of LC power construction. The experiment showed that the new LC PS can greatly promote the construction of the LC index of power, and is conducive to the development of urban power. The proportion of urban non-fossil energy and the new installed capacity of non-fossil energy power generation have been significantly increased. Among the four cities studied in this article, the proportion of non-fossil energy in two cities has increased from less than 50 % to more than 50 %, which has greatly promoted the construction of LC index of electricity.
Influences of unbalance phase combination on the dynamic characteristics for a turboprop engine

Published: June 2023

To reduce excessive vibration of a turboprop engine with qualified balanced compressor and turbine rotor, the finite element model of the rotor system was established. The magnitude, axial distribution and especially the phase combinations of the residual unbalances were considered and optimized. Based on the numerical results, the whole engine tests were conducted for verification. The numerical and experimental results show that the vibration level of the rotor system can be significantly reduced by only changing the phase combination of the residual unbalances. The magnitude, axial distribution of residual unbalance and rotational speed of the rotor play a very important role in determining the optimal phase combination. The optimal phase combination under different rotational speeds might be conflicting, and reasonably designed optimization would be a feasible solution. The findings of the research can provide important reference for the design and troubleshooting for similar industrial turbine engines.
Walled in: borderlands, frontiers and the future of archaeology
Authors: Hanscam Emily , Buchanan Brian
Published: June 2023

For archaeology to survive in the present and for critical discourse on the past to thrive, archaeologists must advocate for the discipline's continued relevancy. In this Debate article, the authors illustrate the potential and challenges of such advocacy by examining contemporary perceptions of the Roman period Hadrian's Wall and how it relates to modern border landscapes—namely the US/Mexico border. They argue that archaeologists have not addressed the imagined continuity of socio-political narratives surrounding borderlands, calling for wider recognition of border materiality. The authors contend that the uncritical portrayal of the past, particularly in politically charged spaces such as border zones, can contribute to inequality and oppression in the present.
Maternal diet and gut microbiome composition modulate early‐life immune development

Published: June 2023

In early life, the intestinal mucosa and immune system undergo a critical developmental process to contain the expanding gut microbiome while promoting tolerance toward commensals, yet the influence of maternal diet and microbial composition on offspring immune maturation remains poorly understood. We colonized germ‐free mice with a consortium of 14 strains, fed them a standard fiber‐rich chow or a fiber‐free diet, and then longitudinally assessed offspring development during the weaning period. Unlike pups born to dams fed the fiber‐rich diet, pups of fiber‐deprived dams demonstrated delayed colonization with Akkermansia muciniphila, a mucin‐foraging bacterium that can also use milk oligosaccharides. The pups of fiber‐deprived dams exhibited an enrichment of colonic transcripts corresponding to defense response pathways and a peak in Il22 expression at weaning. Removal of A. muciniphila from the community, but maintenance on the fiber‐rich diet, was associated with reduced proportions of RORγt‐positive innate and adaptive immune cell subsets. Our results highlight the potent influence of maternal dietary fiber intake and discrete changes in microbial composition on the postnatal microbiome assemblage and early immune development.

Published: June 2023

CONTEXT

Care coordination programs are becoming more widely available for children with complex conditions, yet we lack an understanding of programs available to infants and their benefits.

OBJECTIVE

To summarize characteristics and outcomes associated with care coordination programs for infants with complex conditions.

DATA SOURCES

Electronic search of Medline, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Web of Science databases for articles published from 2010 to 2021.

STUDY SELECTION

Inclusion criteria consisted of (1) peer-reviewed manuscripts about a care coordination program, (2) infants (birth to 1 year) with complex medical conditions, (3) and reported at least 1 infant, parent, or healthcare utilization outcome.

DATA EXTRACTION

Data were extracted on program characteristics and outcomes (eg, infant, parent, and healthcare utilization and cost). Results were summarized by program characteristics and outcomes.

RESULTS

The search returned 3189 studies. Twelve unique care coordination programs were identified from 17 studies in the final sample. Seven programs were hospital-based and 5 were outpatient-based. Most programs reported improvements with satisfaction with care, increased interactions with healthcare teams, reductions in infant mortality, and in health service use. A few programs reported increased costs related to staffing.

LIMITATIONS

Few care coordination programs were identified specifically for infants and thus studies that did not report age categories (ie, infants) may not have been identified.

CONCLUSIONS

Care coordination programs demonstrate cost reductions for health systems, families, and insurers and improvement in quality of care. Efforts to increase the uptake and sustain these beneficial programs need further exploration.
