Published: September 2024

Background: Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative tauopathy more frequently found in deceased former football players. CTE has heterogeneous clinical presentations with multifactorial causes. Previous literature has shown substance use (alcohol/drug) can contribute to Alzheimer’s disease and related tauopathies pathologically and clinically. Objective: To examine the association between substance use and clinical and neuropathological endpoints of CTE. Methods: Our sample included 429 deceased male football players. CTE was neuropathologically diagnosed. Informant interviews assessed features of substance use and history of treatment for substance use to define indicators: history of substance use treatment (yes vs no, primary variable), alcohol severity, and drug severity. Outcomes included scales that were completed by informants to assess cognition (Cognitive Difficulties Scale, BRIEF-A Metacognition Index), mood (Geriatric Depression Scale-15), behavioral regulation (BRIEF-A Behavioral Regulation Index, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11), functional ability (Functional Activities Questionnaire), as well as CTE status and cumulative p-tau burden. Regression models tested associations between substance use indicators and outcomes. Results: Of the 429 football players (mean age = 62.07), 313 (73%) had autopsy confirmed CTE and 100 (23%) had substance use treatment history. Substance use treatment and alcohol/drug severity were associated with measures of behavioral regulation (FDR-p-values<0.05, ΔR2 = 0.04–0.18) and depression (FDR-p-values<0.05, ΔR2 = 0.02–0.05). Substance use indicators had minimal associations with cognitive scales, whereas p-tau burden was associated with all cognitive scales (p-values <0.05). Substance use treatment had no associations with neuropathological endpoints (FDR-p-values>0.05). Conclusions: Among deceased football players, substance use was common and associated with clinical symptoms.

Authors: Zhao Huimin , Yang Changlin , Xing Fangkai
Published: September 2024

Background: The relationship between serum fatty acids and cognitive function has been the subject of extensive study. Objective: To analyze the relationship between serum fatty acids composition and cognitive function by NHANES database and multivariate Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods: A sub-cohort of 1,339 individuals with serum fatty acids and Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) examinations from the 2011–2014 wave of the NHANES were analyzed using fully adjusted multiple linear regression models for associations between serum hydrolyzed fatty acid levels and cognitive function. Univariable and multivariable MR was used to analyze the correlation between 98 exposures related to serum fatty acids and cognitive function. Results from different database sources were combined using meta-analysis. Results: The fully adjusted regression analysis showed that linoleic acid (LA), Omega 6, fatty acids (FAs), and LA/FAs were positively correlated with DSST. 27 exposures were included for univariate MR analysis. Ultimately, only 2 traits had IVW test p-values ranging between 0.0019 and 0.05, both of which were LA/FAs. The meta-analysis of univariate MR revealed that LA/FAs was positively associated with cognitive function (β: 0.040, 95% CI = 0.013–0.067, p = 0.0041). In multivariate MR analysis, after adjusting for education, ischemic stroke, and age, LA/FAs was positively independently associated with cognitive function (IVW β: 0.049, 95% CI = 0.021–0.077, p = 0.0006). The results of MVMR are well in line with the univariate results. Conclusions: Both the Cross-sectional observational analyses and MR-based studies supported a suggestive causal relationship between the serum ratio of Linoleic acid in fatty acids and cognitive function.

Published: September 2024

Background:

The association of lung function with the risk of developing prodromal and clinical-diagnosed Parkinson’s disease (PD) and with the risk of mortality among individuals with PD remains unknown.

Objective:

To prospectively examine the associations of lung function with the risk of prodromal, clinical-diagnosed PD, and PD-related mortality in participants of the UK Biobank.

Methods:

Included were 452,518 participants free of PD at baseline. Baseline lung function, including forced expiratory volume in 1-s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and FEV1/FVC ratio, was assessed. Eight prodromal features were measured using self-reported diagnoses, hospital admission, and primary care data. Incident PD cases were identified using linkages with hospital admission, death register, and self-report. Vital status and date of death were provided by the UK National Health Service (NHS) and the NHS Central Register. We used Cox proportional hazard models to evaluate these associations.

Results:

Poor lung function was associated with higher risk of PD in a dose-response relationship: the adjusted hazard ratio comparing the lowest vs. the highest lung function quintile was 1.18 (95% CI, 1.02– 1.37) for FEV1, 1.14 (95% CI, 0.99– 1.29) for FVC, and 1.23 (95% CI, 1.08– 1.41) for PEF ( p-trend <0.05 for all). Similar results were obtained for risk of prodromal PD and mortality among individuals with PD.

Conclusions:

The current study showed that individuals with poor lung function had a high future risk of prodromal and clinical PD and a higher rate of PD-related mortality.

Published: September 2024

The smartphone is the epitome of technical innovation in recent decades. It is part of everyday life for many people – why not use it to promote health with evidence-based applications? Germany is the first country in the world to include evidence-based digital health applications in the service portfolio of its health insurance companies. There is a lack of resources in various medical specialities. Digital health applications can be a solution to support people and promote sustainable medical care. The benefits are obvious, but the utilisation rates are low. However, it can provide access to better healthcare for a large part of the population that is otherwise not considered in the debate. Some European countries have recognised the potential, but it remains to be seen how this digital solution will set up itself in the future. This Perspective Article is intended as a stimulus to integrate digital health applications into the debates on digitally enhanced healthcare, as the social impact is crucial. It therefore addresses the question of whether digital health applications can be a solution for the future.
Disaster tweet classification using enhanced salp swarm algorithm
Authors: Noori Mohammed Ahsan Raza , Sharma Bharti , Mehra Ritika
Published: September 2024

Twitter and Facebook are widely recognized as crucial tools for situational information during disasters. Given that the classification of disaster related tweets is computationally challenging due to the high dimension of textual data caused by the redundant and irrelevant features. Hence for optimal feature selection (FS) and classification of disaster tweets, this work utilizes binary salp swarm algorithm (BSSA) and proposed two enhancements over it (PBcSSA). The commensalism phase from symbiotic organisms search (SOS) is integrated with BSSA to enhance its feature space searchability and then its parallel implementation is done using Apache Spark framework to reduce the execution time. The experiments were performed in a cross-disaster setting on nine groups of datasets including biological, earthquake, flood, hurricane, industrial, societal, transportation, wildfire, and environmental. The proposed PBcSSA combined with the Naive Bayes (NB) classifier in wrapper mode and its performance is compared with standard BSSA, binary sine cosine algorithm (BSCA), binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO), binary grey wolf optimization (BGWO), and binary whale optimization algorithm (BWOA). The experimental results reveal that the proposed PBcSSA outperforms other algorithms in disaster tweet classification and achieved highest average F1-score with lowest feature set in a reduced execution time.
Detect Multiple-Set Fractures by Crosshole Seismic Tomography for use in Environmental and Engineering Geophysics
Authors: Chang Young-Fo , Chang Wei-Zhih , Tong Lun-Tao
Published: September 2024

Crosshole seismic tomography (CST) could be used to reconstruct the velocity section of media between two holes. One commonly used attribute of fractures reflected in seismic waves is the anisotropy of velocity. Therefore, in this study, the multiple symmetry axes of anisotropic media are utilized to simulate the multiple-set fractures in strata. The anisotropic algebraic reconstruction technique (AART) and anisotropic simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique (ASIRT), extensions of isotropic ART and SIRT, are developed to detect the medium with multiple symmetry axes and strong anisotropy. Full coverage of ray paths in azimuth is needed for these techniques. The performances of these techniques are tested by numerical and physical modeling. Testing results show that the proposed AART and ASIRT methods can successfully detect the multiple-set fractures when the observed data exceeds the estimated parameters. However, in complexly anisotropic and heterogeneous media, the estimation error will significantly increase when using these techniques if the number of estimated parameters is equal to or greater than the number of observed data.
Seismic Swell Effect Correction Using GVF-Based Guideline
Authors: Lim Kyoungmin , Ha Jiho , Shin Jungkyun , Shin Sungryul , Chung Wookeen
Published: September 2024

Swells in marine seismic data disrupt the continuity of the reflection events and make interpretation difficult. The swell effect removal process consists of sea-bottom detection and correction, which removes the swell effect by shifting the detected sea-bottom signal to the known or estimated seafloor location. The quality of correction depends on the accuracy of the sea-bottom detection. Since general sea-bottom signal detection techniques have been applied directly after pre-processing, many mispick scenarios exist due to the characteristics of the data, and additional processes are needed. This study proposes a method for accurately detecting sea-bottom reflection signals using the guideline. The errors are caused by mistaking other reflection events as sea-bottom signals. The guideline can improve detection accuracy by providing rough event times of sea-bottom reflection. The guideline was extracted from the gradient vector flow (GVF) technique, a segmentation method in image processing. In the GVF data, the seafloor signals are smoothed, and the energy is focused on the sea bottom. The threshold method detected sea-bottom signals in the range after the guideline. The detected signals were shifted to estimated seafloor locations to attenuate the swell effect. The GVF-based guideline (GVF-GL) method was applied to field data acquired by the airgun and chirp sources with different frequencies. The sea-bottom location was successfully detected, and the continuity of the sea-bottom and subsurface signals in the section was improved.

The results of research on the structure and phase composition of non-autoclaved aerated concrete with a density of 550–750 kg/m3 using metallic silicon as a gas generator are presented. The peculiarities of the structure formation of aerated concrete products and the mineralogical composition of their hydration products were investigated. It was established that increasing the content of metallic silicon in aerated concrete leads to an increase in the pore space of the compositions. The results of diffractometric and thermal analysis methods for establishing the phase composition of aerated concrete compositions with metallic silicon as a gas generator are also presented. Analysis of XRD patterns and derivatograms showed that the aerated concrete samples under investigation contain a binder component, obermorite (5CaO6SiO25.5H2O); xonotlite (6CaO6SiO2H2O); -dicalcium silicate hydrate (2CaOSiO2H2O); and hillebrandite (2CaOSiO21.17H2O). It was established that increasing the amount of metallic silicon as a gas generator stimulates an increase in the content of hydrated phases in aerated concrete compositions.

This article introduces "Film on a Boat," a collaborative project between the University of Florida (UF) and the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras (UPR), aimed at digitizing and providing open access to approximately 800,000 pages of Caribbean newspapers. By leveraging unique holdings from both institutions, the completed project contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of Caribbean history, migration patterns, social movements, and cultural dynamics as well as addresses the underrepresentation of the Lesser Antilles in scholarly discourse. Focused on English and Spanish language newspapers from various Caribbean nations, including Puerto Rico, Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Guyana, St. Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago, the project aims to engage scholars, educators, organizations, and the general public by fostering a more inclusive narrative of Caribbean social history and facilitating innovative digital scholarship. This feature piece will also tell the unique story of how this vital content was saved and collected by a UF librarian traveling the Carribean by boat, and how current library staff have continued those preservation and access efforts to further benefit their patrons today.
"The Little Leopard that Became a Big Leopard"
Authors: Reboussin Daniel , Young William (Hank)
Published: September 2024

The Little Leopard that Became a Big Leopard (rendered as bé gɔ̧ nɛ kifa gásá gɔ̧ in modern Gbaya orthography) is a mimeographed pamphlet that surfaced in 2023 among Smathers Libraries’ uncatalogued materials purchased from African historian Donald Abraham. It included none of the information we needed to understand what it is, so Principal Cataloger William (Hank) Young brought it to my desk.
I called for help from my linguist contacts, who narrowed down the possibilities. Eventually, I contacted professional linguist Dr. Phillip Noss, a Gbaya specialist who, surprisingly, lives right here in Gainesville! He proved to be the key to understanding this mystery pamphlet.
Noss confirmed the pamphlet was written in the 1940s by linguists at the Sudan Mission in Meiganga, Cameroon. There and in nearby Central African Republic (CAR), Canadian linguist Madel Nostbakken served as Book Editor with overall responsibility for Gbaya language work until her retirement in 1975. She may be the author.
Our pamphlet bé gɔ̧ nɛ kifa gásá gɔ̧ is now cataloged for Rare Books along with about twenty titles donated by Noss. We may now own the largest collection of Gbaya texts and teaching resources documented in WorldCat, but the Little Leopard is my favorite!

Authors:   Academic Association of Global Cultural Contents, Song Hwa , Park Kisoo
Published: September 2024

The 15-rated BL webtoon  succeeds by adopting an unusual material of oriental fantasy. The storytelling strategy of  is threefold: engaging the viewer through a multi-layered narrative of exploration and reflection, expanding the backstory by using the variability of character relationships, and maximizing the tastiness of the oriental painting style that blends with fantasy. First, by reinterpreting and transforming the familiar classic narrative in a modern way and superimposing the pasts of the two characters, the creator built a more complex, multi-layered narrative that aroused the curiosity of the enjoyers and created a participatory culture that they explored and reflected on. At the same time, character relationships that change over time and space give the causality of actions and the probability of events, enriching the narrative and setting backstories apart. Finally,  achieved aesthetic fulfillment with ink painting style artwork, realistic and transparent artwork with medium tones, and long, dynamic artwork per scene. In this way,  has achieved its own unique aesthetic, by weakening the sexualized elements, building up the narrative with fantasy and backstory, and painting it in a more aesthetic way.
The 15-rated BL webtoons have formed an independent market between girls’ cartoons and 19-rated BL webtoons. The achievement of  is significant not only in terms of diversifying the BL webtoon market, but also in terms of raising the unique status of 15-rated BL webtoons.

Kue bolu kukus umumya adalah kue yang berbahan dasar tepung terigu yang pengolahannya dengan cara dikukus. Untuk mengurangi ketergantungan terhadap pemanfaatan tepung terigu, maka harus ada bahan alternatif pengganti umbi-umbian lokal, salah satunya adalah umbi uwi (Dioscorea alata). Tepung uwi sebagai subtitusi tepung terigu pada pembuatan kue bolu diharapkan dapat memperoleh kue bolu yang baik dan disukai. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) satu faktor dengan perbandingan konsentrasi tepung uwi sebagai subtitusi tepung terigu yang terdiri dari enam perlakuan, yaitu A (100%:0), B (80%:20%), C (60%:40%), D (40%:60%) E (20%:80%), F (100%:0). Penghimpunan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode daftar pertanyaan kepada 9 panelis dengan 3 kali ulangan untuk setiap sampel. Data hasil kuesioner akan diubah dalam bentuk scoring dan dianalisis menggunakan metode analisis varians (ANOVA) dengan uji lanjut Beda Nyata Terkecil (BNT) dengan taraf 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kue bolu dari 6 perlakuan dari uji organoleptik warna, aroma, kegurihan, dan kemanisan mendapatkan nilai sama rata dari hasil pengujian panelis, kecuali pada tekstur. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah perlakuan yang menggunakan tepung uwi lebih banyak maka hasil yang didapat akan semakin kurang bagus menurut panelis.

There are many students that have difficulties in learning mathematics. One of them is dueto lack of meaningful learning in mathematics-classroom, so that students' learning motivation is low. Learning becomes meaningful if the concepts are presented as contexts or situations in which students "experience" themselves. The use of mathematics in everyday life is the main idea of â€‹â€‹mathematical literacy. Context of daily life that is closest to students is personal context. One of the mathematical materials that is widely applied to solve problems in everyday life is the concept of probability. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the use of personal context as a mathematical activity in learning probability. Mathematics activities can be presented with the use of teaching materials, one of which is Student-Worksheet. Thus, in this study, Student-Worksheet on the concept probability is developed by employing personal context. This study is a research-design within ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation). This study produces a product in the form of Student-Worksheet based on personal context for Probability for 8th graders. The results of this study shows that the Student-Worksheet developed is valid and practical. In addition, based on the results of the implementation phase, it shows that the Student-Worksheet is effective in facilitating studentsâ€™understanding on the concept of probability.
