Research on Heredity of Coarse Ferrite Grains
Authors: FAN Wangzhan , GUI Weimin , CHEN Youfeng
Published: August 2024

The changes in austenite grain size of the specimens with coarse ferrite grains under different heat treatment process were investigated. The focus was on studying the effect of annealing on refining coarse ferrite grains, as well as the influence of the ferrite grain size on the main technical indicators of gas carburizing. The results show that coarse ferrite grains may not necessarily cause the coarse austenite grains, but may result in mixed austenite grains. After annealing treatment, the coarse ferrite grains can be significantly refined and homogenized. Moreover, the coarse ferrite grains have no significant effects on hardness and intergranular oxidation of gas carburizing.

Devenir docente de escuela secundaria hoy
Authors: Luna María Virginia
Published: August 2024

Durante el segundo cuatrimestre del año 2021, la educación secundaria de Argentina, se sostuvo en un ecosistema de medios digitales y tecnologías analógicas, con estudiantes que asistían alternadamente a la escuela. Esto significó la división del grupo clase, mientras unos estudiantes asistían de manera presencial a las aulas, otros lo hacían de manera virtual. Para ambos grupos debían diseñarse propuestas de aprendizaje respetuosas de sus trayectos, y asegurar la enseñanza combinando las posibilidades de la presencialidad offline y la disposición online en las escuelas. Cada escenario se constituye como antagónico al otro, con reglas determinadas, parámetros de acción que escapan a los mismos actores y demandas diferentes que alentaban a la construcción de clases alternativas y múltiples. La variabilidad, singularidad y desafíos didácticos, es analizada en esta comunicación a partir de las voces de docentes de nivel secundario de escuelas técnicas y comunes de Argentina, recuperadas a partir de entrevistas en el marco del proyecto «La reconfiguración de las desigualdades vinculadas a la educación secundaria argentina en situación de pandemia/postpandemia» (pisac – covid-19). El análisis nos permite identificar que, la sobre exigencia de los docentes a atender didáctica y pedagógicamente dos grupos de estudiantes en condiciones diferentes, les permitió una revisión de sus clases, corrección y reconocimiento de las nuevas formas que asumió la enseñanza. Sin embargo, aunque la teoría pueda concluir en que los entornos digitales son gratificantes, placenteros y enriquecedores, la enseñanza en estos escenarios no se corresponde bajo estas sensaciones. Las condiciones y requerimientos de educabilidad que exigían las instituciones escolares terminaron por tensionar las posibilidades reales de los docentes para sostener ambos trayectos.

Authors: Anh Duc Do , Anh Duc Le , Dieu Linh Ha , Quang Phu Tran , Ha Trang Le
Published: August 2024

Purpose - This article investigates the startup intention of 316 students in six universities in the economic sector, which are at the top in terms of training scale and number of training disciplines in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Design/methodology/approach - The study considered the groups of external factors that have impacts on startups in addition to two of the three directed factors of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which are higher education programs and financial support from the university. The study was conducted by utilizing quantitative research to measure the structural relationship among various proposed latent variables using the partial least squares method. SmartPLS 3.0 software was applied to analyze and verify the gathered data, and the proposed hypothesis model.
Findings - The findings reveal that the startup intention questionnaire was found to be a valid instrument for measuring the startup intention of university students in the economic sector in Ha Noi. The result of path analysis indicates that all these variables have a positive effect on startup intention. Additionally, the direct effect of attitude toward the act to startup, perceived feasibility, higher education program, financial support, and startup intention has a significant positive effect on strategy alignment. These results help policymakers build the appropriate educational environment to foster students’ startup and develop a startup ecosystem.
Implications - Overall, this study implies that many factors can influence students’ startup intentions. Policymakers can use the results to build the appropriate educational environment to foster students’ startups and develop a startup ecosystem.
Originality/value - This paper is the first empirical study that critically investigates the startup intention of students in the top six universities in the economic sector.
Market dynamics in household cropland redistribution in Vietnam
Authors: Thi Huyen Mai , Quang Ha Nguyen , Thi Dung Nguyen , Pham Minh Ngoc
Published: August 2024

Purpose - The paper aims to explore market dynamics in rural household cropland redistribution in Vietnam through empirical tests of the two hypotheses that are fundamental for the economic transitions in household cropland redistribution: the economies of scale in crop production and efficiency motivation in cropland market transactions.
Methodology - The Gini coefficient and land shares are used to measure land distribution equality. A stochastic frontier analysis is applied to test the hypothesis of an “inverse relationship” between farm size and efficiency; the probit model is used to study the farmer’s efficiency motivations in the cropland market.
Findings - In the last two decades, the cropland distribution of rural Vietnamese households has been almost unchanged. While there has been clear evidence for the efficiency of large farms, the cropland market transactions have not been driven by farming efficiency. Therefore, there has been no evidence for a natural economic transition towards larger farms.
Practical implication - The study’s results can serve as a reference for policy related to restructuring the agriculture sector.
Originality - This is the first paper that uses secondary data at the national level to undertake an empirical test of the hypothesizes of the inversed relationship between farm size and efficiency in crop cultivation and the efficiency motivation of households in the cropland market.

Technology may be part of the problem, but they are certainly part of the solution for youth mental health: A review of our experiences using a Digital Navigator as part of young people's care team.
Authors: Gorban Carla
Published: August 2024

Measurement-based, clinically-approved digital technologies represent the next frontier in enhancing the service and delivery of youth mental health care. Young people, who are exposed to new and innovative digital technologies in their daily lives at never-before-seen levels, are enthusiastic to use a digital tool as part of their care. However, young people are often provided scant information on how to use the technology optimally and efficiently in their care. With the creation of a new role known as a Digital Navigator, these challenges can be overcome. By using their lived experience, the Digital Navigator is able to explain the purpose of the digital technology and personalise the way it is used by the young person to meet their specific goals. This has been very well received by young people, who have engaged regularly with the technology when the Digital Navigator is included as part of their care team. However, reticence to using technology in care comes primarily from clinicians and services, which often dampens the engagement levels of young people. When clinicians include the Digital Navigator as an active member of the care team, a successful partnership is formed between all three members to help achieve the young person’s goals.
Changes in epinephrine dispensings and allergy hospitalisations in Sweden in the years following the removal of autoinjector co-payments
Authors: Ahlstedt Staffan , Bergström Anna , Nilsson Lennart , Kivistö Juho E , Protudjer Jennifer L P
Published: August 2024

Introduction

To understand any possible healthcare system benefits and changes of behavior for the patients with the change in prescription co-payment in Sweden we aimed to provide an update on the trends of EAI dispensings and hospitalizations for the Swedish paediatric population (ages 0–19 years), from 2018 to 2022, including by sex and geographic region.

Methods

Using publically-available, population-level aggregate data from Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare, we extracted information on annual epinephrine (ATC C01CA24) dispensings per 1,000 inhabitants from 2018 to 2023, overall, as well as stratified by sex, age groups and geographic region; and on inpatient stays 2018–2022 (ICD-10 code T78), anaphylaxis and other allergic reactions, per 100,000 individuals. We compared these estimates to those for adults ages 18 + years, for whom prescription co-payments remained in place.

Results

EAI dispensings remained stable for children and adults across the study period, with the exception of statistically significant decreases amongst dispensings for children across all ages in 2021 (6.65/1,000) and 2022 (7.37/1,000), compared to 2018 (8.63/1,000) (each year p = 0.03 compared to 2018 dispensings). National EAI dispensings did not statistically significantly differ from 2018 (8.63/1,000) to 2023 (6.70/1,000) amongst children. EAI dispensings for children ages 5 + years consistently exceed dispensings for adults per 1,000 inhabitants; only children aged 0–4 years had proportionately fewer dispensings. Children ages 0–4 years tended to be hospitalised more often than older children, albeit these differences were not statistically significant (all p > 0.97).

Conclusion

Subsequent to the removal of out-of-pocket costs for EAI, dispensings did not increase for children, although more EAI were dispensed to children from age 5 years, compared to younger children. Allergy-related hospitalisations were highest amongst children ages 0–4, lower amongst children ages 5–14 years, and again higher amongst those ages 15–19 years.
The effects of antimicrobial peptides buCaTHL4B and Im-4 on infectious root canal biofilms
Authors: Hu Ziqiu , Ren Haixia , Min Yifan , Li Yixin , Zhang Yuyuan , Mao Min , Leng Weidong , Xia Lingyun
Published: August 2024

Purpose

The primary cause of pulp and periapical diseases is the invasion of bacteria into the root canal, which results from the continuous destruction of dental hard tissues. Effective management of infections during root canal therapy necessitates effectively irrigation. This study aims to investigate the effects of two antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), buCaTHL4B and Im-4, on root canal biofilms in vitro.

Methods

Two-species biofilms (Enterococcus faecalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum) were selected and anaerobically cultivated. The following treatments were applied: 10 μg/mL buCaTHL4B, 10 μg/mL Im-4, 5 μg/mL buCaTHL4B, 5 μg/mL Im-4, 1 μg/mL buCaTHL4B, 1 μg/mL Im-4, 1% NaOCl, and sterile water. Each group was treated for 3 min. Subsequently, the two strains were co-cultured with 10 μg/mL buCaTHL4B, 10 μg/mL Im-4, 1% NaOCl, and sterile water for 24, 48, and 72 h. The biofilms were examined using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) with fluorescent staining, and the percentages of dead bacteria were calculated. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was employed to assess the variations in bacterial proportions during biofilm formation.

Results

Compared to 1% NaOCl, 10 μg/mL buCaTHL4B or Im-4 exhibited significantly greater bactericidal effects on the two-species biofilms (p < 0.05), leading to their selection for subsequent experiments. Over a 48-hour period, 10 μg/mL Im-4 demonstrated a stronger antibiofilm effect than buCaTHL4B (p < 0.05). Following a 24-hour biofilm formation period, the proportion of F. nucleatum decreased while the proportion of E. faecalis increased in the sterile water group. In the buCaTHL4B and 1% NaOCl groups, the proportion of F. nucleatum was lower than that of E. faecalis (p < 0.05), whereas in the Im-4 group, the proportion of F. nucleatum was higher than that of E. faecalis (p < 0.05). The proportions of bacteria in the two AMPs groups gradually stabilized after 24 h of treatment.

Conclusion

buCaTHL4B and Im-4 exhibited remarkable antibacterial and anti-biofilm capabilities against pathogenic root canal biofilms in vitro, indicating their potential as promising additives to optimize the effectiveness of root canal treatment as alternative irrigants.

Published: August 2024

Since their first industrial application in the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation in the early 1900s, Clostridia have found large application in biomass biorefining. Overall, their fermentation products include organic acids (e.g., acetate, butyrate, lactate), short chain alcohols (e.g., ethanol, n-butanol, isobutanol), diols (e.g., 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol) and H2 which have several applications such as fuels, building block chemicals, solvents, food and cosmetic additives. Advantageously, several clostridial strains are able to use cheap feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass, food waste, glycerol or C1-gases (CO2, CO) which confer them additional potential as key players for the development of processes less dependent from fossil fuels and with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The present review aims to provide a survey of research progress aimed at developing Clostridium-mediated biomass fermentation processes, especially as regards strain improvement by metabolic engineering.

Published: August 2024

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder closely associated with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders. The core of the disease lies in the abnormal expansion of the CGG trinucleotide repeat sequence at the 5′end of the FMR1 gene. When the repetition exceeds 200 times, it causes the silencing of the FMR1 gene, leading to the absence of the encoded Fragile X mental retardation protein 1 (FMRP). Although the detailed mechanism by which the CGG repeat expansion triggers gene silencing is yet to be fully elucidated, it is known that this process does not alter the promoter region or the coding sequence of the FMR1 gene. This discovery provides a scientific basis for the potential reversal of FMR1 gene silencing through interventional approaches, thereby improving the symptoms of FXS. Epigenetics, a mechanism of genetic regulation that does not depend on changes in the DNA sequence, has become a new focus in FXS research by modulating gene expression in a reversible manner. The latest progress in molecular genetics has revealed that epigenetics plays a key role in the pathogenesis and pathophysiological processes of FXS. This article compiles the existing research findings on the role of epigenetics in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) with the aim of deepening the understanding of the pathogenesis of FXS to identify potential targets for new therapeutic strategies.

Background

Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is a significant cause of community-acquired pneumonia with high macrolide resistance rates. Various COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have impacted the prevalence of MP.

Objective

To assess the changes in the pattern of MP infections among children before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

A total of 36685 enrolled patients, aged 0-18 years, diagnosed with pneumonia and admitted to Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2019 to December 2023, were retrospectively reviewed in this study. The epidemiological characteristics of pediatric MP infection were analyzed.

Results

Among 36685 patients, 7610 (20.74%) tested positive for MP. The highest positive rate was observed among children aged over 6 years (55.06%). There was no gender disparity in MP infection across the three phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hospital stays were longest for children during the COVID-19 pandemic (P <0.001). MP infection was most prevalent in the summer (29.64%). The lowest positive rate was observed during the pandemic, with the highest rate found after easing the measures across all age groups (P <0.001). There was a surge in the positive rate of MP in the third year after the COVID-19 pandemic. Regression analyses demonstrated a shift in the age range susceptible to MP infection, with children aged 3.8 to 13.5 years post-pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic range of 5.3 to 15.5 years old. Additionally, the average macrolide resistance rate was 79.84%. We observed a higher resistance rate during the pandemic than in the pre- and post-pandemic phases (P <0.001).

Conclusion

The restrictive measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic have influenced the spread of MP to some extent and altered demographic and clinical characteristics, such as age, age group, season, length of stay, and macrolide resistance. We recommend continuous surveillance of the evolving epidemiological characteristics of MP infection in the post-pandemic period when restrictions are no longer necessary.

Human herpes viruses (HHVs) are commonly detected in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients, particularly those with complex complications, attracting increased attention from clinical practitioners. However, the significance of detecting HHVs in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) with CAP patients is still unclear. This study retrospectively analyzed BALF samples from 64 CAP patients at the Kunming Third People’s Hospital between August 2021 and December 2023. Metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) was conducted on BALF samples during CAP onset. Multivariate Cox regression models were used to identify independent risk factors for 30-day all-cause mortality in CAP. HHVs were found in 84.4% of CAP patients, which were the most common pathogens (45.1%), followed by bacteria (30.2%) and fungi (11.5%). Bacterial-viral co-infections were most common, occurring in 39 patients. Notably, there was no significant difference in HHV presence between severe and non-severe CAP patients (EBV: P = 0.431, CMV: P = 0.825), except for HHV-7 (P = 0.025). In addition, there was no significant difference in the 30-day mortality between HHV positive and HHV negative groups (P = 0.470), as well as between the HHV-7 positive and HHV-7 negative groups (P = 0.910). However, neither HHVs nor HHV-7 was independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in CAP patients (HHVs: HR 1.171, P = 0.888; HHV-7: HR 1.947, P = 0.382). In summary, among the prevalent presence of multiple HHVs, EBV and CMV were the most prevalent in CAP patients. Patients with sCAP were more susceptible to HHV-7 than those with non-sCAP. These results provide valuable insights for clinicians in guiding appropriate interventions for CAP treatment.
