Authors: Tian Tian , Guo Jianying , Yang Zhenqi , Yao Zhenyu , Liu Xinyu , Wang Ziwei
Published: May 2024

Plants’ root properties are closely related to their ecological adaptability. This study aimed to clarify the differences in root properties of Stipa krylovii under different grazing disturbances. The morphological characteristics of root length, root surface area, root volume, root tip number, specific root length, and specific surface area of S. krylovii were compared under no grazing, light grazing, moderate grazing and heavy grazing conditions. The ecological adaptability to grazing pressure was also examined. Results showed that the underground biomass density decreased with the increase in grazing intensity. Grazing disturbance can lead to changes in plant community characteristics, and roots adapt to changes in these environmental factors by adjusting their distribution. Among the six root configuration parameters, those under light grazing were significantly higher than those under the other grazing types. The root length and root surface area were concentrated in the range of 0–2 mm. Mild grazing and moderate grazing were conducive to fine root penetration and contact with soil. Moderate grazing disturbance was beneficial to grassland vegetation productivity and played an important role in the stability and sustainable utilization of grassland ecosystem.

Authors: Liang Jianfang , Li Jingjun , Cao Xuerong , Zhang Zejun
Published: May 2024

To deal with the challenges posed by generational differences in China’s sustainable consumption transition, this study’s pioneers using a mixed-methods approach with data mining and literature research to classify Chinese residents into four generations based on the sustainable consumption perspective. We developed a conceptual model of generational differences and conducted an empirical study using structured interviews with a multi-stage random sampling approach. The results highlight significant differences and distinct influencing mechanisms among the four generations regarding perceptions of sustainable consumption, lifestyle, and sustainable consumption behavior. Based on this, multi-generational differentiated green marketing strategies, green product development and green marketing practices, as well as consumer education systems and strategies for stakeholders including the government, enterprises, and society are proposed. The findings contribute to advancing theoretical perspectives in sustainable consumption research, serving as a valuable reference for sustainable consumption research worldwide.
CO2 Laser Frenuloplasty: Advancing Minimally Invasive Techniques for Rapid Healing and Improved Patient Outcomes
Authors: Amato Simone , Nisticò Steven , Bennardo Luigi , Pellacani Giovanni , Cannarozzo Giovanni
Published: May 2024

This study explores the innovative use of CO2 laser technology in frenuloplasty, a significant shift from classic methods like scalpel surgery or electrocautery towards a minimally invasive approach. The research involved 15 patients aged 25 to 50, undergoing frenuloplasty with a CO2 laser system equipped with a 7-inch defocused handpiece, set at 20 Hz and 0.3 W. This method diverges from conventional laser techniques, focusing on controlled laser passes combined with manual traction to elongate the fibrous tissue of the frenulum. The results demonstrated that the CO2 laser technique allowed for a precise and progressive modification of the frenulum, significantly reducing the risks of hemorrhage and secondary intention fibrosis. The healing process was notably expedited, with patients reporting satisfactory outcomes within a two-week period. Statistically significant improvements were observed in patient-reported outcomes, as evidenced by the increases in the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) scores, with the mean Physical Component Summary (PCS) score rising from 32.5 to 47.5 and the mean Mental Component Summary (MCS) score from 39.3 to 52.3 (p < 0.001 for both). The study concludes that CO2 laser frenuloplasty is an effective and safe technique, offering substantial benefits in terms of reduced healing time and enhanced patient satisfaction. The significant improvements in SF-12 scores underscore the positive impact on patient quality of life, advocating for the broader application of this technique in clinical practice. Further research is warranted to explore its potential in a wider clinical context.
Non-Hermitian Quantum Rényi Entropy Dynamics in Anyonic-PT Symmetric Systems
Authors: Liu Zhihang , Zheng Chao
Published: May 2024

We reveal the continuous change of information dynamics patterns in anyonic-PT symmetric systems that originates from the continuity of anyonic-PT symmetry. We find there are three information dynamics patterns for anyonic-PT symmetric systems: damped oscillations with an overall decrease (increase) and asymptotically stable damped oscillations, which are three-fold degenerate and are distorted using the Hermitian quantum Rényi entropy or distinguishability. It is the normalization of the non-unitary evolved density matrix that causes the degeneracy and distortion. We give a justification for non-Hermitian quantum Rényi entropy being negative. By exploring the mathematics and physical meaning of the negative entropy in open quantum systems, we connect negative non-Hermitian quantum Rényi entropy and negative quantum conditional entropy, paving the way to rigorously investigate negative entropy in open quantum systems.
Advancements in Neurosurgical Intraoperative Histology

Published: May 2024

Despite their relatively low incidence globally, central nervous system (CNS) tumors remain amongst the most lethal cancers, with only a few other malignancies surpassing them in 5-year mortality rates. Treatment decisions for brain tumors heavily rely on histopathological analysis, particularly intraoperatively, to guide surgical interventions and optimize patient outcomes. Frozen sectioning has emerged as a vital intraoperative technique, allowing for highly accurate, rapid analysis of tissue samples, although it poses challenges regarding interpretive errors and tissue distortion. Raman histology, based on Raman spectroscopy, has shown great promise in providing label-free, molecular information for accurate intraoperative diagnosis, aiding in tumor resection and the identification of neurodegenerative disease. Techniques including Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS), Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS), Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS), and Tip-Enhanced Raman Scattering (TERS) have profoundly enhanced the speed and resolution of Raman imaging. Similarly, Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) allows for real-time imaging and the rapid intraoperative histologic evaluation of specimens. While CLE is primarily utilized in gastrointestinal procedures, its application in neurosurgery is promising, particularly in the context of gliomas and meningiomas. This review focuses on discussing the immense progress in intraoperative histology within neurosurgery and provides insight into the impact of these advancements on enhancing patient outcomes.

With the increasing dominance of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, the important prospects for their application have extended to various medical fields, including domains such as in vitro diagnosis, intelligent rehabilitation, medical imaging, and prognosis. Breast cancer is a common malignancy that critically affects women’s physical and mental health. Early breast cancer screening—through mammography, ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—can substantially improve the prognosis for breast cancer patients. AI applications have shown excellent performance in various image recognition tasks, and their use in breast cancer screening has been explored in numerous studies. This paper introduces relevant AI techniques and their applications in the field of medical imaging of the breast (mammography and ultrasound), specifically in terms of identifying, segmenting, and classifying lesions; assessing breast cancer risk; and improving image quality. Focusing on medical imaging for breast cancer, this paper also reviews related challenges and prospects for AI.

Published: May 2024

Botulinum toxin (BoNT) injection can safely be done as an office-based procedure, but can be painful itself, especially when injecting pelvic floor muscles to treat chronic pelvic pain (CPP). Mindfulness interventions may reduce procedure-associated acute anxiety and pain. We applied mindfulness techniques to increase the tolerability of office-based pelvic floor BoNT injections in women with CPP. Women enrolled in a clinical trial of BoNT for endometriosis-associated CPP were offered a brief, guided mindfulness session before and/or after transvaginal injection. Anxiety, pain, and dysphoria were rated on a 0–10 numerical rating scale (NRS) before and after each mindfulness session. Eight women underwent mindfulness sessions. Five participants had a session before and two after the transvaginal injection. One participant had two sessions: one before and one after separate injections. All six women completing a session prior to injection had at least moderate anxiety, which lessened after the mindfulness session (median NRS change: −3.3/10). All three women reporting injection-associated pain experienced less intense pain following the post-injection session (median NRS change: −3/10). Three women experiencing dysphoria improved after the session (median NRS change: −3/10). A brief, guided mindfulness session may lessen acute pain, anxiety, and dysphoria associated with office-based transvaginal BoNT injection.

Published: May 2024

The SARS-CoV-2 virus has infected more than 660 million people and caused nearly seven million deaths worldwide. During the pandemic, a number of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were rapidly developed, and several are currently licensed for use in Europe. However, the optimization of vaccination regimens is still ongoing, particularly with regard to booster vaccinations. At the same time, the emergence of new virus variants poses an ongoing challenge to vaccine efficacy. In this study, we focused on a comparative analysis of the neutralization capacity of vaccine-induced antibodies against four different variants of concern (i.e., Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omicron) after two and three doses of COVID-19 vaccine. We were able to show that both two (prime/boost) and three (prime/boost/boost) vaccinations elicit highly variable levels of neutralizing antibodies. In addition, we did not observe a significant difference in antibody levels after two and three vaccinations. We also observed a significant decrease in the neutralization susceptibility of all but one SARS-CoV-2 variants to vaccine-induced antibodies. In contrast, a SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection between the second and third vaccination results in overall higher levels of neutralizing antibodies with a concomitant improved neutralization of all virus variants. Titer levels remained highly variable across the cohort but a common trend was observed. This may be due to the fact that at the time of this study, all licensed vaccines were still based exclusively on wild-type SARS-CoV-2, whereas infections were caused by virus variants. Overall, our data demonstrate the importance of (booster) vaccinations, but at the same time emphasize the need for the continued adaptation of vaccines to induce a protective immune response against virus variants in order to be prepared for future (seasonal) SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks.
Treatment of Dairy Farm Runoff in Vegetated Bioretention Systems Amended with Biochar
Authors: Rahman Md Yeasir A. , Richardson Nicholas , Nachabe Mahmood H. , Ergas Sarina J.
Published: May 2024

Nitrogen and fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in runoff from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) can impair surface and groundwater quality. Bioretention systems are low impact nature-based technologies that can effectively treat CAFO runoff if modified with an internal water storage zone (IWSZ) or amended with biochar. In this study, the performances of four pilot-scale modified bioretention systems were compared to assess the impacts of (1) amending bioretention media with biochar and (2) planting the systems with Muhlenbergia. The system with both plants and biochar amendment had the best performance, with an average of 5.58 log reduction in E. coli and 98% removal of total nitrogen (TN). All systems treated the first pore volume well as new runoff flushed the treated water from the IWSZ. Biochar improved TN and FIB removal due to its high capacity to adsorb or retain ammonium (NH4+), dissolved organic nitrogen, dissolved organic carbon, and E. coli. Planting improved performance, possibly by increasing rhizosphere microbial activity.

Lived experiences of end-of-life care at home in the UK: a scoping review of qualitative research
Authors: Clark Claire , Fenning Stephen , Haynes Wendy , Clay Sarah , Maddicks Jack , Bowden Joanna
Published: May 2024

Background

Home is the preferred place of care and death for most people with advanced illness.

Aim

To examine and describe the published qualitative literature on the lived experiences of dying at home, to characterise the participants and their contexts, and to identify key gaps in knowledge, with a view to informing future research.

Design and setting

A scoping literature review, undertaken in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guideline, examined studies focusing on the lived experiences of dying at home in the UK.

Method

The online databases CINAHL and MEDLINE were searched with relevant Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms and keywords to identify primary qualitative research published between 2010 and 2022, exploring the lived experiences of patients, families, and/or unpaid carers in the UK.

Results

In total, 442 articles were screened, 61 of which underwent full-text review; 13 studies were retained in the final set. All studies explored the experience of bereaved family and/or unpaid carers, and one study interviewed a person who was dying. Where specified, the majority of experiences related to deaths from cancer, many with specialist palliative care team involvement. Included studies yielded a breadth of diverse findings, with the most common subject themes relating to the availability and quality of care, and support for families and carers.

Conclusion

There is limited published evidence exploring the lived experiences of end-of-life care at home and this constrains the extent to which community services can be evidence informed in their design and delivery. More research is needed to examine the first-hand experiences of people who are dying at home, particularly for those with non-cancer conditions and where specialist services are not involved.

Методи вимірювального контролю
Authors: Багацький Валентин Олексійович , Багацький Олексій Валентинович
Published: May 2024

В Україні окремого ДСТУ з контролю немає, контроль пов’язаний в існуючих нормативних документах з діагностуванням технічного стану та контролем якості готової продукції. У нормативних документах введено термін «вимірювальний контроль», який формально об’єднує процеси вимірювання та контролю. Це єдиний вид контролю, стосовно якого в документах зазначено не термін «inspection», а «control by measurement». Фактично цей термін розділяє процеси вимірювання та контролю і переводить процес власне допускового контролю у цифрове середовище, де він реалізується за допомогою програмних засобів. На думку авторів, вимірювальний контроль надає великі можливості для реалізації різних методів контролю і зводити його до допускового контролю (inspection), як це зроблено у нормативних документах, недоцільно. Автори запропонували в процесі вимірювального контролю визначати не «відповідність» параметрів заданим в документах величинам, а «ступінь відповідності нормі», яка розраховується згідно з вибраною у вікні контролю функцією відповідності і дозволяє прогнозувати вихід контрольованого параметра за межі максимально дозволених значень. Запропоновано та досліджено як функцію відповідності нормі степеневу параболічну функцію виду ymp=(ax2+bx+c)m, яка за зміною одного параметра m може змінюватися від прямокутної функції до дельта-функції. Показано, що за допомогою функції відповідності нормі можливо організовувати як процеси контролю, так і процеси діагностики. Наведено два нові методи вимірювального контролю: миттєвий контроль параметра та технічного стану обладнання в цілому і моніторинговий контроль параметра та тех­нічного стану.
Human capital for the green economy
Authors: Kozera-Kowalska Magdalena
Published: May 2024

This study aims to assess the market availability of human capital for the needs of the green economy under the conditions of the changing labour market in Poland. It is a theoretical and analytical study based on desk research and critical analysis of available factual information. Based on an analysis of quantitative data describing the age structure and education of Poles from the perspective of three consecutive decades, a growing labour supply deficit was found. It also points to a possible shortage of competencies needed to green the economy. It was emphasised that, in view of the low effectiveness of the state's prevention policy aimed at preventing the growing demographic crisis, it would be necessary to supplement the shortage of workers from external resources, that is, labour migration. However, this may also be difficult because the labour markets in other European countries become increasingly competitive. Recommended solutions to foster labour market sustainability for the green economy may be to delay the exit of employees from the labour market, boost female economic activity, and make the education system more efficient.

Jordanian EFL Learners’ Production of Synonyms
Authors: Abu Rumman Ronza , Rabab'ah Ghaleb
Published: May 2024

This paper reports on the findings of a study that explored Jordanian EFL learners’ production of synonyms. The data were elicited through a translation task which consisted of 20 Arabic sentences to measure Jordanian EFL learners’ ability to produce the correct synonym in contextualized English sentences. The subjects were asked to translate whole sentences from Arabic into English. Each sentence contains a certain Arabic word that has a specific appropriate English equivalent out of a number of semantically interrelated words that belong to the same category. These words were selected from Sheeler and Markley (1982). The findings indicate that Jordanian EFL learners face serious difficulty in dealing with synonyms on the production level. This can be attributed to some reasons, namely the transfer of training, the complexity of the foreign language, the lack of some English lexical items, the confusion of words on the ground of formal similarity, and the EFL learners' limited knowledge of English in general and of collocations in particular. Furthermore, the subjects employed a number of strategies to compensate for their lack of knowledge, such as overgeneralization, semantic approximation, literal translation, and message abandonment when they encountered a problem in rendering a target word.

Mediterráneamente: la identidad geocultural mediterránea como forma de vida estilizada
Authors: Montoro Juan Manuel , Barreneche Sebastián Moreno
Published: May 2024

Este artículo aborda lo mediterráneo como una identidad geocultural transnacional, esto es, como una unidad de sentido que refiere a una identidad colectiva con presencia en distintos países, sin abarcar a sus poblaciones en su totalidad. A través de una discusión de algunos de los rasgos diferenciales de esta identidad geocultural, se analiza su estereotipación a partir de una forma de vida específica. La argumentación se ilustra con el estudio de una serie de avisos publicitarios de la marca catalana de cerveza Estrella Damm.

Pendampingan sebagai bentuk pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan dan meningkatkan pemahaman fasilitator tentang literasi fikih di salah satu pondok pesantren di Putukrejo, Gondanglegi Malang, PPQ Al-Qosimi. Literasi fikih ini sangat penting diterapkan oleh fasilitator santri, terutama di pondok pesantren yang fokus pada tahfid Al-Qur’an. Berbeda dengan pesantren-pesantren berbasis salafiyah, literasi fikih di pesantren-pesantren berbasis hafalan Al Qur’an umumnya santri hanya dibekali pendidikan tentang dunia tahfidz belaka. Oleh sebab itu, pendampingan tentang fikih ini sangat penting disampaikan kepada fasilitator pondok pesantren. Fasilitator umumnya terdiri dari santri senior yang telah menjadi pengurus pesantren. Pendampingan literasi fikih kepada para fasilitator ini harapannya adalah dapat menjadi estafet pemahaman tentang fikih sehari-hari kepada seluruh santri di PPQ Al-Qosimi.
Utilization of Learning Space as a Learning Resource Center
Authors: Jannah Raodhatul , Muhammad Yaumi  , Herdah
Published: May 2024

A conducive learning situation is related to the quality of student learning. The creation of a conducive class will prevent students from feeling bored, physical fatigue and also the creation of a conducive class will provide motivation and comfort for students' learning. Learning space is the place where the teaching and learning process takes place, the place in question can be indoors, outdoors, or virtual space. Learning space is a facility that creates a learning atmosphere and supports the creation of an innovative learning ecosystem. There are four ideas that form the basis for developing future learning spaces, namely: learning by doing, context-based, interaction, and learning locations. To realize this design, a space-technology-cognitive concept was designed that combines aspects of knowledge, aspects of space or the learning environment and the use of technology as one of the smart learning designs in the future. Utilization of learning space as a learning resource center can be carried out by referring to five functions, namely: the function of developing instructional systems; learning media service function; learning media development function; training function and administrative function.

Ser docente en educación superior es una profesión exigente. El ritmo vertiginoso de los cambios en nuestra sociedad exige responder con acierto y rapidez a las necesidades formativas de la ciudadanía que ha de integrarse en el mundo laboral del siglo XXI. Es preciso concebir, diseñar e impartir buenas propuestas formativas, que consideren e integren las demandas y características que definen el contexto actual y a su vez puedan ser proyectadas en el futuro; formar verdaderas comunidades de aprendizaje, con verdadero compromiso ciudadano y social, en los que cada estudiante desarrolle sus capacidades de comprensión de los nuevos conceptos con espíritu crítico y aplicación al entorno real. Docentes de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, en colaboración con profesorado internacional, comparten reflexiones y experiencias en torno a la cuestión de cómo promover el aprendizaje del alumnado de educación superior, en su mayoría de Ingeniería, impulsando su rol protagonista en el proceso. El resultado muestra diferentes ejemplos reales de acciones educativas específicas, con impacto en la mejora de la calidad educativa (ODS 4).
Multifactor Authentication using AI & RFID
Authors: Shaw Dhruva , Toraskar Parshuram Krishna , Arabelli Ashish , Choudhary Amit Kumar
Published: May 2024

A crucial security feature called multifactor authentication (MFA) is
intended to improve the security of sensitive data and digital
identities. By employing many levels of authentication to confirm a
user’s identity, it greatly increases the difficulty for unauthorized
users to access systems and data. Recent advancements in machine
learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have strengthened MFA
systems and improved their usability and security.

Authors: Okonji Onyekachukwu R. , Yunusov Kamol , Gordon Bonnie
Published: May 2024

Generative AI is rapidly transforming medical imaging and text analysis, offering immense potential for enhanced diagnosis and personalized care. However, this transformative technology raises crucial ethical, societal, and legal questions. This paper delves into these complexities, examining issues of accuracy,
informed consent, data privacy, and algorithmic limitations in the context of generative AI’s application to medical imaging and text. We explore the legal landscape surrounding liability and accountability, emphasizing the need for robust regulatory frameworks. Furthermore, we dissect the algorithmic challenges,
including data biases, model limitations, and workflow integration. By critically analyzing these challenges and proposing responsible solutions, we aim to foster a roadmap for ethical and responsible implementation of generative AI in healthcare, ensuring its transformative potential serves humanity with utmost care and precision.
A TESE DO CAPITALISMO COLONIAL NA AMÉRICA LATINA: UMA LEITURA A PARTIR DE SERGIO BAGÚ E DE CAIO PRADO JÚNIOR
Authors: Pansardi Marcos Vinícius
Published: May 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho é comparar a obra do argentino Sergio Bagú e do brasileiro Caio Prado Júnior. Busca-se compreender os argumentos que sustentaram a construção desta tese e, portanto, analisar os pontos de contato e atrito entre os autores em suas obras. Ambos partiram de uma mesma concepção para defender a tese do capitalismo colonial: uma teoria sistêmica do capitalismo. A partir da crítica às ideias centrais destes dois autores chega-se à conclusão de que a América Colonial, em particular o Brasil, se formou a partir da expansão de um modo de produção feudal tardio, caracterizado pelo domínio do capital mercantil e sob o controle dos estados feudais absolutistas ibéricos, não houve capitalismo colonial.
Pengentasan Buta Aksara Melalui Baca, Tulis, Hitung, Diskusi, dan Aksi (Calistungdasi) di Desa Kawo Kabupaten Lombok Tengah
Authors: Maulana Andy Agam

Illiteracy is the inability to read, write and count simple sentences. The illiteracy rate for those aged 15-59 years in West Nusa Tenggara Province is still quite high, even above the national figure with a percentage of 7.91%, especially in Central Lombok Regency. Data from the Central Lombok Regency Government shows that up to 2015, 1,970 residents of various ages were recorded as illiterate. The main goal of literacy education is to teach students to be able to utilize the basic skills of reading, writing, arithmetic, discussion and action (Calistungdasi), as well as their functional abilities in everyday life. The objectives of this activity include: 1) so that people are able to read, write and count; 2) so that society is able to compete in facing advances in technology and in social life; 3) so that people can easily accept empowerment programs from the government; and 4) so ​​that people are able to become instructors for other communities. Based on the results of activities, observations and implementation of work programs that have been planned, prepared and implemented, several conclusions can be drawn, including: 1) the success of activities cannot be separated from cooperation between the implementation of activities and village officials, the community and all parties who assist and support the implementation of community service activities. Without good cooperation, the work program will not run smoothly; 2) with the implementation of activities, the community tries to imitate the way of thinking in implementing critical activities, especially for illiterate residents; 3) by carrying out activities, the community is helped by increasing the information and knowledge they obtain from carrying out activities; and 4) implementing activities to gain knowledge and learn how to live from village people, such as: mutual cooperation, friendship, and helping each other.

Objective:  To determine the postoperative neurological outcome in spinal tuberculosis patients presenting with severe neurological deficits.
Materials and Methods:  57 patients of 22 to 65 years of spinal tuberculosis were included in this study from January 2018 to March 2023. Data was collected from the hospital records of the patients who were admitted and operated on for tuberculosis of the spine. All regions of the spine were taken for study. ASIA scoring was done and patients were labeled from ASIA scores A to E. All patients were operated and postoperative ASIA scoring was also done on follow-up visits. An Independent sample t-test was used to assess the difference in the mean of these variables.
Results:  The mean age was 44.45 ± 8.54 years. Males were 39 and females 18.  Preoperatively 27 patients had ASIA B, 28 patients had ASIA C and 02 patients had ASIA D score. All these patients improved postoperatively. The mean preoperative ASIA Score was 2.03 ± 2.4 and the mean postoperative ASIA score was 4.1 ± 1.3 withp-value of 0.02. Patients having old age, who present late and with poor grades in neurology had worse outcomes postoperatively.
Conclusion:  Patients with spinal tuberculosis presenting even with severe neurological deficits had significant improvement in neurology postoperatively.
