Research on the impact of irregular structure group construction on rail transit bridge piers and its response to wind load
Authors: Wang Yan , Chen Zheng , Qi Yi
Published: June 2023

The possibility of deformation and collision in existing railway bridge foundation structures due to the construction of a group of large irregular structures in close proximity and their potential for overturning under strong wind loads is posed as a potential threat. The impact of the construction of large irregular sculptures on bridge piers and their response under strong wind loads is primarily investigated in this study. A modeling method based on real 3D spatial information of the bridge structure, geological structure, and sculpture structure is proposed to accurately reflect their spatial relationships. Finite difference method is employed to analyze the impact of sculpture structure construction on pier deformations and ground settlement. The bridge structure exhibits small overall deformation, with maximum horizontal and vertical displacements of the piers located at the edge of the bent cap on the side of the critical neighboring bridge pier J24 adjacent to the sculpture. A fluid–solid coupling model of the interaction between the sculpture structure and wind loads with two different direction is established using computational fluid dynamics, and theoretical analysis and numerical calculations are conducted on the sculpture's anti-overturning performance. The internal force indicators such as displacement, stress, and moment of the sculpture structure in the flow field under two working conditions are studied, and comparative analysis of typical structures is conducted. It is shown that sculpture A and B have different unfavorable wind directions and specific internal force distributions and response patterns due to the influence of size effects. Under both working conditions, the sculpture structure remains safe and stable.

Published: June 2023

Kidney metabolism may be greatly altered in chronic kidney disease. Here we report that arginine metabolism is the most altered in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO)-induced fibrosis of the kidneys in metabolomic analysis. Spermidine is the most increased metabolite of arginine. In human glomerulonephritis, the amount of spermidine shown by immunostaining is associated with the amount of fibrosis. In human proximal tubule cells, spermidine induces nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Subsequently, fibrotic signals, such as transforming growth factor β1 secretion, collagen 1 mRNA, and oxidative stress, represented by a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential is suppressed by spermidine. UUO kidneys of Arg2 knockout mice show less spermidine and significantly exacerbated fibrosis compared with wild-type mice. Nrf2 activation is reduced in Arg2 knockout UUO kidneys. Spermidine treatment prevents significant fibrotic progression in Arg2 knockout mice. Spermidine is increased in kidney fibrosis, but further increases in spermidine may reduce fibrosis.

Published: June 2023

Surface wetting is a multiscale phenomenon where properties at the macroscale are determined by features at much smaller length scales, such as nanoscale surface topographies. Traditionally, the wetting of surfaces is quantified by the macroscopic contact angle that a liquid droplet makes, but this approach suffers from various limitations. In recent years, several techniques have been developed to address these shortcomings, ranging from direct measurements of pinning forces using cantilever-based force probes to atomic force microscopy methods. In this review, we will discuss how these new techniques allow for the probing of surface wetting properties in far greater detail. Advances in surface characterization techniques will improve our understanding of surface wetting and facilitate the design of functional surfaces and materials, including for antifogging and antifouling applications.

Engaging with engagement in learning chemistry: a guiding note about a multidimensional construct
Authors: Lawrie Gwendolyn
Published: June 2023

Student engagement in learning chemistry is arguably a central premise of chemistry education. Most teachers and researchers refer broadly to ‘engagement’ at some point during their work, usually as part of instructional design, reflective classroom practice, measurement of learning outcomes or a combination of these. In fact, as a multidimensional construct, learner engagement for any individual is observed to be fluid and malleable and hence is very difficult to capture. Many readers of our journal may seek to understand an author's position on engagement so that they can connect reported findings to their own contexts. To facilitate this process, in this Editorial article, I briefly visit the basis of the multiple facets of ‘engagement’ aiming to support authors in framing their work on learner engagement more explicitly. I encourage authors to establish and communicate their theoretical perspective and the methodological lens that they have applied in their chemistry education research and practice involving engagement.

Relation between the moment of inertia and the k2 Love number of fluid extra-solar planets
Authors: Consorzi Anastasia , Melini Daniele , Spada Giorgio
Published: June 2023

Context. Tidal and rotational deformation of fluid giant extra-solar planets may impact their transit light curves, making the k2 Love number observable in the near future. Studying the sensitivity of k2 to mass concentration at depth is thus expected to provide new constraints on the internal structure of gaseous extra-solar planets.

Aims. We investigate the link between the mean polar moment of inertia N of a fluid, stably layered extra-solar planet and its k2 Love number. Our aim is to obtain analytical relations valid, at least, for some particular ranges of the model parameters. We also seek a general approximate relation useful for constraining N once observations of k2 become available.

Methods. For two-layer fluid extra-solar planets we explore the relation between N and k2 via analytical methods, for particular values of the model parameters. We also explore approximate relations valid over the entire range of two-layer models. More complex planetary structures are investigated by the semi-analytical propagator technique.

Results. A unique relation between N and k2 cannot be established. However, our numerical experiments show that a rule of thumb can be inferred that is valid for complex, randomly layered stable planetary structures. The rule robustly defines the upper limit to the values of N for a given k2, and agrees with analytical results for a polytrope of index one and with a realistic non-rotating model of the tidal equilibrium of Jupiter.
Exploration of transferable deep learning-aided radio frequency fingerprint identification systems
Authors: Shen Guanxiong , Zhang Junqing
Published: June 2023

Radio frequency fingerprint identification (RFFI) shows great potential as a means for authenticating wireless devices. As RFFI can be addressed as a classification problem, deep learning techniques are widely utilized in modern RFFI systems for their outstanding performance. RFFI is suitable for securing the legacy existing Internet of Things (IoT) networks since it does not require any modifications to the existing end-node hardware and communication protocols. However, most deep learning-based RFFI systems require the collection of a great number of labelled signals for training, which is time-consuming and not ideal, especially for the IoT end nodes that are already deployed and configured with long transmission intervals. Moreover, the long time required to train a neural network from scratch also limits rapid deployment on legacy IoT networks. To address the above issues, two transferable RFFI protocols are proposed in this paper leveraging the concept of transfer learning. More specifically, they rely on fine-tuning and distance metric learning, respectively, and only require only a small amount of signals from the legacy IoT network. As the dataset used for transfer is small, we propose to apply augmentation in the transfer process to generate more training signals to improve performance. A LoRa-RFFI testbed consisting of 40 commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) LoRa IoT devices and a software-defined radio (SDR) receiver is built to experimentally evaluate the proposed approaches. The experimental results demonstrate that both the fine-tuning and distance metric learning-based RFFI approaches can be rapidly transferred to another IoT network with less than ten signals from each LoRa device. The classification accuracy is over 90%, and the augmentation technique can improve the accuracy by up to 20%.

The influence of family factors on mobile phone addiction among minors
Authors: Liu Yuanxiaodi
Published: June 2023

Since 2007, the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) has been investigating the online behavior of Chinese youth. Until 1 December 2022, CNNIC released the “Research Report on the Internet Usage of Minors in China in 2021” which shows that the Internet penetration rate among minors is 96.8%, which this means that minors can no longer live without access to the internet. With the advancement of technology and the development of the internet age, smartphones are also coming into the homes of families. Some minors have also fallen into the problem of mobile phone internet addiction as a result. In daily life, all aspects influence the level of addiction to mobile phones among minors. Moreover, family factors play a key role in the development of minors; good family factors contribute to the healthy development of minors. Through data collection and analysis of previous studies, this study analyzes the effects of different factors on the degree of mobile phone addiction among minors in terms of family environment, family atmosphere and family parenting style in this paper. The conclusion is that the worse the family factors are, the more addicted the minor is to mobile phones. Having a good family element is also key to helping minors prevent mobile phone addiction. A good family element can help minors to redirect their attention to life and help them to solve or face problems that arise during their development, and this will reduce the chances of minors becoming dependent on mobile phones and developing an internet addiction to them.

Published: June 2023

Life is the basis of all material human activities and a prerequisite for the development of human society. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasised at the National Education Conference in 2018 that the concept of health-first education should be established, and that party committees and governments at all levels should also underpin the safety of school operations and protect the lives of students. At present, the vast majority of university students in China have a scientific awareness of life, a positive attitude towards life and a high level of life satisfaction, but with the continuous development of the market economy and the satisfaction of material resources, some students also have a weak sense of responsibility for life and diluted ideals and beliefs, which have seriously affected the life safety and value realization of our university students. Therefore, in the face of the current situation, how to enhance the effectiveness of life values education for university students is a realistic question that must be answered. Based on the development requirements of the new era, this paper examines the development requirements under the new era and the new needs of society for student education in the new era.

Exploring the Relationship between Gender, Family SES, and Education
Authors: Ma Mingchuan
Published: June 2023

Disparities in family SES directly contribute to differences in mental health and resources. Environmental factors may also lead to gender biases in self-estimated intelligence, which may be an extension of existing sociocultural gender stereotypes. The difference between male and female learning ability and behavioural ability is caused by the difference in thinking patterns and physiological structure. Boys and men reported higher overall and academic self-esteem than girls and females. The family SES gap has educational differences in terms of gender. Low family socioeconomic status may have an impact on individual development, putting them at risk in terms of academic performance, cognitive ability, and other aspects of development. Children from higher socioeconomic families have higher levels of anxiety and depression and are also at risk of developing social maladjustment.

pressure, noninvasive, monitoring, assessment, and measurement. The selected articles date from 1980 to 2021, all of which were observational studies or clinical trials, in English and specifying ICP measurement in TBI. At the end of the selection, 21 articles were included in this review.

Results The optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), pupillometry, transcranial doppler (TCD), multimodal combination, brain compliance using ICP waveform (ICPW), HeadSense, and Visual flash evoked pressure (FVEP) were analyzed. Pupillometry was not found to correlate with ICP, while HeadSense monitor and the FVEP method appear to have good correlation, but sensitivity and specificity data are not available. The ONSD and TCD methods showed good-to-moderate accuracy on invasive ICP values and potential to detect IH in most studies. Furthermore, multimodal combination may reduce the error possibility related to each technique. Finally, ICPW showed good accuracy to ICP values, but this analysis included TBI and non-TBI patients in the same sample.

Conclusions Noninvasive ICP monitoring methods may be used in the near future to guide TBI patients' management.

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by impaired cognitive function. It results in high morbidity, including a large number of hospitalizations, and mortality, generating high costs to health systems.

Objective The present epidemiological analysis evaluated the number of hospitalizations and deaths by AD as the main diagnosis in Brazil between 2010 and 2020. This endeavor should contribute to a better understanding of the disease and its implications.

Methods The present analytical, observational, longitudinal, and retrospective study used data extracted from the Department of Informatics of the Brazilian Unified Health System (DATASUS, in the Portuguese acronym). The variables include the number of hospitalizations, the total cost spent, the average cost per hospitalization, the average length of hospital stay, the number of deaths during hospitalization, the mortality rate per hospitalization, sex, age group, region, and race.

Results From 2010 to 2020, there were 188,811 deaths and 13,882 hospitalizations for AD, with a total expenditure of BRL 25,953,019.40 in hospitalizations. The average length of hospital stay was 25 days. Over the considered period, mortality, the number of hospitalizations, and the total cost increased while the average length of stay decreased.

Conclusion From 2010 to 2020, AD represented a large portion of hospital admissions, generating a significant cost to the health system and a large number of deaths. These data are important to undertake joint efforts to prevent hospitalizations of these patients in order to minimize impacts on the health system.
Narrative fusion and layering: statecraft and the shaping of Boris Johnson’s pandemic narrative, 2020–2021

Published: June 2023

By examining the UK Prime Minister’s justifications for his government’s pandemic responses given during press conferences and during Prime Minister’s Questions from March 2020 to July 2021, this article illustrates the narrative ‘fusion’ (using the pandemic narrative to advance other elements of policy) and ‘layering’ (using the pandemic narrative to justify past policy decision) evident in the construction of Boris Johnson's pandemic narrative. The article makes the case for viewing Johnson’s COVID-19 narrative in light of broader political dynamics within UK politics, particularly adaptations of Conservative statecraft in the Brexit era that preceded the pandemic. The article argues that the narrative itself can be a product of multiple political crises and projects. Specifically, Johnson’s pandemic narrative ‘fused’ and ‘layered’ elements of two other narratives advanced during his time in office: countering challenges to the territorial integrity of the United Kingdom and justifying the withdrawal from the European Union.

Background The Undetectable=Untransmittable (U=U) message has been promoted since it was demonstrated that viral suppression through HIV treatment prevents sexual transmission between serodiscordant partners (HIV treatment as prevention). Our study assessed familiarity with, perceived accuracy of, and willingness to rely on U=U in a national sample of gay and bisexual men in Australia. Methods We conducted a national, online cross-sectional survey in April–June 2021. Eligible participants were gay, bisexual and queer men and non-binary people who lived in Australia. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with familiarity, perceived accuracy and willingness to rely on U=U (by having condomless sex with a partner with HIV who has an undetectable viral load). Results Of 1280 participants, most were familiar with U=U (1006/1280; 78.6%), the majority of whom believed U=U was accurate (677/1006; 67.3%). Both familiarity and perceived accuracy were higher among participants living with HIV, followed by pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) users, HIV-negative participants not taking PrEP, and untested/unknown status participants. Knowing at least one person living with HIV, among other factors, was associated with familiarity and perceived accuracy of U=U; and familiarity was associated with perceived accuracy. Among participants familiar with U=U, less than half were willing to rely on U=U (473/1006; 47.0%). Familiarity with U=U and knowing at least one person living with HIV were associated with willingness to rely on U=U, among other factors. Conclusions We found familiarity with U=U was associated with perceived accuracy and willingness to rely upon it. There is an ongoing need to educate gay and bisexual men (particularly HIV-negative men) about U=U and its benefits.
Tracking the spread of the eastern dwarf tree frog (Litoria fallax) in Australia using citizen science
Authors: Rowley Jodi J. L. , Callaghan Corey T.
Published: June 2023

An increasing number of species are establishing populations outside of their native ranges, often with negative ecological and economic impacts. The detection and surveillance of invasive species presents a huge logistical challenge, given the large spatial regions in which new populations can appear. However, data collected through citizen science projects are increasingly recognised as a valuable source for detection and monitoring of invasive species. We use data from a national citizen science project, FrogID, to quantify the spread of the eastern dwarf tree frog (Litoria fallax) outside its historical native range in Australia. Of 48 012 records of L. fallax in the FrogID database, 485 were located far outside the historical native range of the species. L. fallax has established geographically large populations hundreds of kilometres away from its native range, and these appear to be spreading in extent over time. These populations have resulted in novel species co-occurrences, with L. fallax now co-occurring with at least two frog species not present in their native range. Although the impacts of the invasive populations of L. fallax remain unknown, our work highlights the value in leveraging citizen science projects to detect and monitor native species that can become invasive far outside their historical range.
Topologically quantized Schwarzschild black hole

Published: June 2023

We present a new version of the Schwarzschild solution that involves an intrinsically discrete structure apt for quantization. Our method is the harmonic mapping of the unit sphere (S
2) into itself. This explains the areal quantization whereas the energy quantum derives from the energy of the harmonic map. Likewise, all thermodynamical quantities are naturally quantized at lower orders. ‘There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom’ R. P. Feynman [R. P.
