Authors: Zhang Yuchi , Ma Tianjiao , Li Yuehua , Chen Wen
Published: January 2025

Winter precipitation (P) in East Asia (EA) is characterized by a wetter south and a drier north. Most of the existing research has concentrated on elucidating the mechanisms of winter P in southern EA, with relatively less attention given to northern East Asia (NEA). Our analysis showed that the correlation coefficient (c.c.) of average winter precipitation anomaly percentage (PAP) between southern EA and NEA is 0.24 for the period 1950–2023, indicating substantial regional difference. An empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis was conducted on the winter PAP in NEA. The first and second mode (EOF1 and EOF2) account for 45.5% and 17.9% of the total variance, respectively. EOF1 is characterized by a region-wide uniform spatial pattern whereas EOF2 exhibits a north–south dipole pattern. Further analysis indicated that the two EOF modes are related to distinct atmospheric circulation and external forcings. Specifically, EOF1 is linked to a wave train from Central Siberia toward Japan, while EOF2 is connected with an anomaly similar to the Western Pacific pattern. Variations in mid–high latitude sea surface temperatures, sea ice, and snow are potential factors influencing EOF1. EOF2 exhibits a close relationship with tropical SST anomalies.

Published: January 2025

This study focused on the Jinjie mining area by addressing the severe resource and environmental issues arising from excessive coal mining in Shenmu County, Northwest China. Multi-source remote sensing data from GF-1 and Landsat 8 OLI were utilized in this study. Specifically, the fused remote sensing ecological index (FRSEI) was constructed to conduct a detailed evaluation and analysis of the eco-environmental quality in the mining area from 2013 to 2023. The results indicated that the overall eco-environmental quality of the Jinjie mining area exhibited a trend of initial improvement, followed by degradation, and then improvement again over the decade. The eco-environmental quality of the mine pits and their surrounding areas was significantly lower than the overall level, confirming the destructive impact of coal mining on the eco-environment. Meanwhile, as the study area, Shenmu County is actively utilizing coal mining subsidence areas to develop the photovoltaic power generation industry, aiming to achieve green and low-carbon transformation. Although the construction of photovoltaic power plants initially led to the degradation of the condition of vegetation and the FRSEI, both gradually improved after the plants were operational. Furthermore, by comparing the FRSEI with the remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) calculated solely using Landsat 8 OLI data, we found a high degree of similarity between the two, thereby validating the stability and accuracy of the FRSEI. This study not only provides high-precision data support for eco-environmental monitoring in mining areas but also highlights the potential of multi-source remote sensing data fusion technology in improving monitoring accuracy, further providing a scientific basis for formulating sustainable development strategies specifically for the eco-environment in mining areas.

Published: January 2025

As the quantity and quality of water resources decreases, the need for timely and valid prediction of the WTP of drinking water-used chemicals to produce quality drinking water for the final consumer increases. The question that arises is which prediction model performs better in predicting the chemical dosages used in a WTP of drinking water. ANNs or the MLR analysis models? The present study is a comparative study between the two aforementioned prediction models. The evaluation criteria chosen are: the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), the Coefficient of Determination (R2), and the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (R). A previously optimised ensemble ANN model was chosen, which consisted of 100 neural networks, with 42 hidden nodes each, 10 inputs, and 4 outputs. On the other hand, four different scenarios in MLR analysis with dependent variables were examined: the ozone (O3) concentration, the Anionic Polyelectrolyte (ANPE) dosage, the Poly-Aluminium Chloride hydroxide sulphate (PACl) dosage, and the chlorine (Cl2(g)) dosage. As independent variables, 10 WTP operational and quality water variables were considered. According to RMSE results, the MLR model had better performance for the three (RMSE ANPE = 0.05 mg/L, RMSE PACl = 0.08 mg/L, and RMSE Cl2(g) = 0.10 kg/h) of the four used WTP of drinking water chemicals, than the ANN model, which performed better for only one (RMSE O3 = 0.02 mg/L). According to R2 and R results, the ANN model had better performance compared to the MLR analysis model for all four variables. Based on the criterion of R2 > 0.5, the ANN performance was satisfactory in predicting three variables: ANPE (R2 = 0.772), PACl (R2 = 0.742), and Cl2(g) dosage (R2 = 0.838, +23% and R = 0.91553, +11%). Respectively, the prediction of the MLR analysis model was evaluated as satisfactory only for the Cl2(g) dosage (R2 = 0.681, R = 0.82500). If someone wants to use the above described (ANN or MLR) scenarios to predict Cl2(g) dosages, it is better to use the one with the smallest RMSE. If they are interested in fitting purposes, the one with the largest R2, is preferable. Also, the ozone concentration variable showed low values of the R2, in all cases, possibly due to the large variation in its values. This study further strengthens the opinion that ANNs are useful decision support tools for a WTP of a drinking water operator and can accurately and sufficiently mimic the decisions regarding the used chemical dosages, which is the main daily concern of the plant operator.

Authors: Li Tianhang , Wang Xiaojun , Jia Hong
Published: January 2025

Fujian Province is an important soil and water conservation region in hilly South China. However, there has been limited attention paid to the assessment of water production and soil conservation at the provincial level, and the distribution patterns of ecosystem services under different environmental gradients in hilly regions have not been revealed. This study evaluated the spatiotemporal characteristics of water yield and soil conservation based on the InVEST model in 2000, 2010, and 2020, and explored their differences under six environmental gradients: elevation, slope, terrain position index, geomorphy, LULC, and NDVI. The results and statistics of the InVEST model showed significant spatial differentiation and temporal change in water yield; the distribution and changes in water yield and soil conservation both exhibited obvious clustering characteristics of cold and hot spots (low and high values); and the differences in distribution and change in water yield in different cities were higher than those in soil conservation. The distribution index and Geodetector showed that there were spatiotemporal differences in distribution and change characteristics of water yield and soil retention in different environmental gradients; the distribution and change differences in water yield were generally lower than those of soil conservation and the degree of distribution and change in water yield and soil conservation were generally more sensitive to the response of terrain factors (slope, TPI, and DEM). The high-value important regions of water yield and soil conservation were 1000 to 2160 m for DEM, 25° to 70.2° for slope, 0.81 to 1.42 for TPI, medium mountain for geomorphy, forest land for LULC, and 0.9 to 0.92 for NDVI, which indicates mountainous regions with high altitude, steep slopes, significant terrain changes, and high forest vegetation coverage. This study indicates that ecosystem services exhibit spatiotemporal differences in distributions across different environmental gradients, and attention should be paid to adapting to local conditions in ecological environment development.

The sanitary protection zone (SPZ) is a protective barrier that ensures the safety of the population
during the operation of an industrial facility in normal mode. A separate problem is the design of sanitary protection zones in the conditions of already existing buildings. The purpose of the study is to use the example of the project of the sanitary protection zone of an industrial enterprise to identify the features of the justification of its boundaries in the conditions of the current development and formulate management decisions to reduce the negative impact of harmful factors of production on the population. It was established that residential buildings were located in the previously established sanitary protection zone of the industrial enterprise. The reason for the situation was the lack of data on the boundaries of the SPZ in the cadastral maps of the Federal Register. To solve the problem, measures were taken to re-equip the facility, aimed at reducing the negative impact on the population of the adjacent territory, followed by the development of a project to change the previously established SPZ. To substantiate changes in the boundaries of the SPZ, a calculation method was used and studies of concentrations of chemicals in the atmospheric air, as well as measurements of the
levels of physical and biological effects behind the contour of the enterprise, were carried out. The absence of excess hygienic standards allowed to reduce the SPZ of an industrial facility. It is proposed to increase the level of interdepartmental interaction, including on the issue of displaying information about the established boundaries of the SPZ on the cadastral map of the Federal Register of Federal Registration Services to exclude the unregulated use of SPZ industrial facilities.
Fainting

Published: January 2025

According to statistics, every third person on Earth has fainted at least once in
their life, and for 25 % of them, short-term loss of consciousness occurs repeatedly. Scientifically,
fainting is called a «syncope» state (the word «syncope» comes from the Greek
syn meaning «with, together» and koptein — «to cut off, tear off»), and is characterized
by a short-term loss of consciousness against the background of transient hypoperfusion
of the brain and a drop in muscle tone. The duration of loss of consciousness is usually
20–30 seconds, after which people come to their senses on their own. After fainting, feelings
of general weakness, overexhaustion, and fatigue are possible; for elderly people, the
occurrence of retrograde amnesia is typical. In the vast majority of cases, syncope is of
reflex origin, and only about 15 % of fainting is associated with pathology of the central nervous and cardiovascular systems. Notably, in some cases the cause of syncope cannot be established [4].

Relação entre o antímero de preferência para apresentação facial e a auto percepção de ações de dominância corporal
Authors: Trevizan Bianca Honório , Júnior Roberto Bernardino
Published: January 2025

Na odontologia existem áreas como oclusão e harmonização facial para as quais medidas bilaterais e equilíbrio entre estruturas faciais são essenciais para questões estéticas e funcionais. Comumente, na obtenção de imagens (fotografias) os indivíduos apresentam um lado de preferência para serem registradas os quais podem ter relação com os antímeros dominantes de olho, mastigação e membros superiores (braço). Nesse sentido, para o profissional é fundamental que o paciente tenha clareza e entendimento daquilo que o incomoda, além de conseguir informar ao cirurgião dentista. Dessa forma, ambos terão resultados positivos. Com isso, esse trabalho tem como objetivo identificar uma possível correlação entre o antímero de preferência para coleta de imagens, o de dominância mastigatória informada, o de dominância visual e o de dominância do membro superior, em voluntários que transitaram pelas ruas do bairro Umuarama, Uberlândia-MG. Essas informações foram registradas em um questionário com perguntas estruturadas. Caso, sobre o antímero dominante ocular e mastigatório houvesse dúvida, seria disponibilizado papel com orifício para visão e chiclete para mastigação. Através dos resultados tabelados foi possível ter dados que correlacionem tais  parâmetros e assim podendo ter um padrão, sendo que as mulheres preferem o lado esquerdo da face para evidenciar e suas dominâncias de forma contrária sendo o lado direito, já os homens possuem em tudo o lado direito, no qual auxiliaria a ação do profissional na harmonização facial e oclusão. Para análise estatística será utilizado o teste exato de Fisher com p<0,05 e descrição de porcentagem. Constata-se assim que há uma influência neurocomportamental entre as dominâncias e preferência.

Published: January 2025

O farmacêutico clínico atuante na especialidade pediátrica do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA) desempenha um papel ativo no cuidado aos pacientes. Isso inclui o monitoramento diário da prescrição medicamentosa, orientações detalhadas quanto ao acesso e uso dos medicamentos na alta hospitalar, além de outras atribuições inerentes à atuação do farmacêutico clínico hospitalar. A pediatria mostra-se uma especialidade particularmente complexa para o âmbito farmacêutico, visto que estes pacientes possuem raras alternativas medicamentosas elaboradas especificamente para sua faixa etária, fazendo-se necessário o uso de medicamentos off label ou não licenciados. Adicionalmente, a presença frequente de pacientes pediátricos de etnia indígena no HCPA, com suas distintas diversidades linguísticas e socioculturais, contribui para a complexidade desse cenário. Até o estudo atual, a Seção de Farmácia Clínica do HCPA carecia de protocolos específicos para o acompanhamento farmacêutico de pacientes indígenas, além da ausência de profissionais tradutores na instituição para auxiliar nesse atendimento. A inexistência de um processo padronizado de atendimento a uma população com diversas práticas culturais, além das barreiras linguísticas, pode prejudicar o acesso do paciente indígena ao seu direito à saúde. O objetivo deste estudo foi elaborar um fluxograma de cuidado farmacêutico que garantisse equidade no atendimento à população pediátrica indígena. A elaboração do material proposto visa suprir as necessidades da Seção de Farmácia Clínica do HCPA no atendimento de pacientes indígenas pediátricos, população anteriormente assistida sem ponderar suas especificidades. O fluxograma estabelecido prevê um atendimento personalizado, promovendo uma assistência integral em conformidade com os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Kabaddi is a sport in which a player performs diverse skills according to their playing positions. The present cross-sectional study was carried out to understand the anthropometric characteristics and body composition parameters with respect to playing positions in male Kabaddi players. Methods: The study was carried out among 42 male Kabaddi players (10 of which are Pro League Players); raiders (n=25, 18.7 ± 2.44 years) and defenders (n=17, 19.6 ± 1.58 years). Anthropometric parameters viz. Height weight, sitting height, arm span, biacromial breadth, waist & hip circumference were measured according to standard protocols followed by ISAK manual. Body composition of players was assessed using body composition analyser (mBCA). Other variables studied were body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), and arm span to height ratio. Results: Significant differences were found between raiders and defenders in terms of their anthropometric characteristics and body composition parameters. Raiders exhibit significant higher values in terms of their height (p=0.0009), arm span (p=0.023) and arm span to height ratio (p=0.0018) while defenders exhibit significantly lower values in terms of their body mass index, BMI (p= 0.0015), waist to hip ratio, WHR (p=0.0001) and fat mass (p=0.015). Conclusion: It had been found that raiders were better over defenders in terms of their anthropometric characteristics and body composition parameters. The findings of the study provide valuable insights into the anthropometric characteristics and body composition profile related with playing position of Kabaddi players.

This study examines body composition parameters among national junior and youth female boxers across weight categories. Methods: A total of 54 athletes, aged 15 to 18 years were categorized into three weight classes: Lightweight (46–54 kg), Middleweight (57–66 kg), and Heavyweight (70–80+ kg). Body composition parameters, including fat mass, fat-free mass, skeletal muscle mass, hydration, and basal metabolic rate, were assessed using a multifrequency BIA device. Statistical analyses, such as ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation, were employed to examine differences and relationships among variables. Results: Heavier boxers had significantly higher fat mass (22.81 ± 6.20 kg), skeletal muscle mass (29.43 ± 2.51 kg), and basal metabolic rate (1506.06 ± 94.98 kcal/day) compared to lighter boxers (p < 0.001). However, skeletal muscle mass percentage decreased with weight class, reflecting a relative increase in adiposity. Hydration levels positively correlated with skeletal muscle mass (r=0.977) and inversely with fat mass (r=-1.000). Segmental analysis revealed heavier boxers had significantly greater lean mass in the trunk (23.87 ± 1.79 kg) and limbs, alongside higher fat accumulation in the trunk (11.84 ± 3.27 kg). Notably, energy expenditure metrics aligned with body composition, highlighting increased demands in heavier categories. Conclusion: Body composition differences across weight categories reflect the distinct physical demands of each class. Heavier boxers display greater absolute muscle and fat mass but lower relative muscle mass.

Introduction: Maturational status influences in physical and athletic performance, within the same chronological age group, early maturers may outperform late maturers in body composition and strength tests. The correlation of maturational status with body composition and muscle strength could estimate differences in physical performance among adolescents. Objective: to analyze the impact of maturational age on body composition and muscle strength in adolescent athletes from San Luis. Methodology: a descriptive, analytical, quantitative, correlational cross-sectional Study. Sample: N=201 adolescents of both sexes, from 14 to 19 years old from San Luis. The maturational status and body composition (BC) were assessed anthropometrically by ISAK protocol, grip strength (Handgrip) was measured with a dynamometer and lower limb strength by Bosco´s Protocol (CMJ). The data were tabulated with SPSS22 Software, and Pearson's correlation was performed with a significance level of p<0,005. Results: a very significant correlation (p<0,001) was observed between Peak Height Velocity (PHV) and kilograms of muscle, fat, bone, skinfold sum and CMJ; a significant correlation (p<0,0018) for Handgrip. Conclusion: The results suggest a significant correlation between PHV age, body composition and muscle strength that could have an impact on athletic performance of adolescents from San Luis-Argentine.
