Are There Co-variations between Herpes Simplex Virus Status and Oral Risk Habits in a Cohort of Sri Lankan Male Oral Fibroepithelial Polyp Patients?: Findings from a Preliminary Study
Authors: Perera Manosha , Perera Irosha
Published: August 2024

The relationship between Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and oral risk habits is still uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the connection between oral risk habits and HSV status in a group of male patients from Sri Lanka who have oral fibroepithelial polyps. We collected 25 fibroepithelial polyps from nine oro-maxillofacial units in six provinces of Sri Lanka. Tissue samples were taken from frozen excisional biopsies to avoid contamination and tested for HSV- DNA using a real-time PCR assay. The results showed that HSV-DNA was present in 44% of the samples, with 66.67% being HSV-1 and 33.33% being HSV-2. However, there was no significant correlation between HSV status and oral risk habits such as betel quid chewing, smoking, and alcohol abuse. The study suggests the need for larger case-control studies to determine any significant associations between different types of Herpes Simplex Virus and oral risk habits.
Advanced Stock Price Prediction with xLSTM-Based Models: Improving Long-Term Forecasting
Authors: Fan Xiaojing , Tao Chunliang , Zhao Jianyu
Published: August 2024

Stock price prediction has long been a critical area of research in financial modeling. The inherent complexity of financial markets, characterized by both short-term fluctuations and long-term trends, poses significant challenges in accurately capturing underlying patterns. While Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks have shown strong performance in short-term stock price prediction, they struggle with effectively modeling long-term dependencies. In this paper, we propose an advanced stock price prediction model based on the Extended Long Short-Term Memory (xLSTM) algorithm, designed to enhance predictive accuracy over both short and long-term periods. We conduct extensive experiments by building and evaluating models based on xLSTM and LSTM architectures for multiple stocks. Our results demonstrate that the xLSTM model consistently outperforms the LSTM model across all stocks and time horizons, with the performance gap widening as the prediction period extends. The observations underscore the superior capability of the xLSTM-based model to capture long-term patterns in financial data, offering a promising approach for more accurate and reliable stock price predictions.
Wavelength Characteristics of Vertical Deformation and Train Dynamics Simulation of Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridges under Complex Loads
Authors: Pang Zhiqiang , Gao Mangmang , Li Guolong , Yang Jingjing , Yang Fei
Published: August 2024

Ballastless track has high smoothness, but the laying requirements are strict. Therefore, the maximum span of cable-stayed bridges laying ballastless tracks is 392m. For laying ballastless track structures over larger spans, the deformation characteristics of long-span cable-stayed Bridges under complex loads are incomplete, and the interaction between long-span bridge-track structures is unclear. The influence of wavelength of cosine wave on the track- bridge mapping of different orbital structures was explored. The wavelength characteristics of vertical deformation under complex loads were investigated. The track-bridge integrated model for the cable-stayed bridge was establish to analyze the mapping relationship between rail and bridge and wavelength characteristics of deformation. Based on mapping relationships and wavelength characteristics of deformation, the Train-Track-Bridge dynamic simulation model was simplified. The results show that when the minimum wavelength of bridge deformation surpasses 6 m, 10 m, and 16 m, the rail deformation in the ballasted track, the longitudinal-connected track, and the unit slab-type ballastless track accurately mirrors the deformation of the bridge. For the span of bridge ranging from 200 m to 600 m, the wavelength of vertical deformation ranges from 21 to 1270 m under complex loads. During local loads, the vertical deformation below the 200 m wavelength constitutes a significant proportion near the pie. Considering the influence of the deformation on train vibration response, the Train-Bridge dynamic coupling model can be employed to treat the track structure as a load to reduce complexity of model and enhance the calculation efficiency.
A New Paradigm for Scientific Query Answering
Authors: Martinez Jacob , Ali Woods , Taylor Madison
Published: August 2024

In modern agriculture, decision-making is deeply intertwined with data, yet essential agricultural knowledge remains encased within dense scientific texts such as journals, manuals, and free-text reports. This necessitates specialized search systems capable of distilling and delivering precise information in response to specific queries from agricultural users. This study introduces AgriQuery, a sophisticated agent designed to field natural language questions from the agricultural sector by exploring vast troves of scientific documents. A comprehensive review and analysis of farmers' information needs have been conducted, leading to the creation of an information retrieval test collection that includes actual queries, a vast array of scientific documents segmented into passages, and a set of ground truth relevance assessments that map these passages to corresponding queries. We explore and benchmark several information retrieval models, highlighting the efficacy of advanced neural ranking models in this context. AgriQuery's proposed deployment architecture features a client interface on the Telegram platform and a backend model on standard hardware. This test collection aims to catalyze further research into matching natural language queries with scientific text answers, with implications extending beyond agriculture.

The need for household-scale electricity consumption is very closely dependent on household appliances that use electrical energy. The demand for household electricity has increased along with the Work From Home (WFH). If this is not managed optimally based on the aspect of its use, it will unconsciously have an impact on economic spending. The purpose of this study focuses on a prototype monitoring system for electrical quantities in the form of voltage, current strength and electric power in real time via the Android platform. The prototype that was created was able to collect realtime data every 1 minute and 5 minutes, respectively, resulting in a measurement accuracy of 92.99% and 81.85%. As well as reading accuracy of (36.60 + 2.42) Watt and (27 + 4.96) Watt. Based on the error results and the results of the reading accuracy of the prototype, a comparison was made between the delay of data retrieval per 1 minute and 5 minutes, it can be concluded that it has a higher reading accuracy per 1 minute. So that the suggestions and recommendations from further researchers regarding the design of electrical energy monitoring management use a delay time of more than one minute so as not to lose a lot of data information from the measurement results.

Published: August 2024

This study evaluates whether investors benefit from green sukuk by examining the responses of stock returns to the announcements of corporate green sukuk (green Islamic bonds) issuance. Applying the standard event study methodology, it finds that stock returns respond positively and significantly to the announcements of green sukuk issuance, suggesting that investors perceive and react favorably to the announcement. This significantly positive response is observed both for the individual firm (through CARs) and for a sample of all firms (through CAARs). Thus, it can be concluded that investors benefit from the announcements of green sukuk issuance. Further, this study draws a comparative analysis of investors’ response to the announcements of corporate green sukuk and corporate green bond issuance, and the findings also show that investors respond positively to the announcements of green bond issuances. However, the investors’ response is slightly higher to the announcements of corporate green sukuk issuance compared to corporate green bonds, and the investors get slightly more benefit from green sukuk issuance as compared to green bond issuance.  These finding inform policymakers for the formulation of strategies to attract investors by integrating green bonds with shariah principles to fund environment-friendly projects and consequently mitigate the climate change risk.

We report magnetization changes generated by an electric field in ferromagnetic Ga1-xMnxN grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Two classes of phenomena have been revealed. First, over a wide range of magnetic fields, the magnetoelectric signal is odd in the electric field and reversible. Employing a macroscopic spin model and atomistic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert theory with Langevin dynamics, we demonstrate that the magnetoelectric response results from the inverse piezoelectric effect that changes the trigonal single-ion magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Second, in the metastable regime of ferromagnetic hystereses, the magnetoelectric effect becomes non-linear and irreversible in response to a time-dependent electric field, which can reorient the magnetization direction. Interestingly, our observations are similar to those reported for another dilute ferromagnetic semiconductor Crx(Bi1-ySby)1-xTe3, in which magnetization was monitored as a function of the gate electric field. Those results constitute experimental support for theories describing the effects of time-dependent perturbation upon glasses far from thermal equilibrium in terms of an enhanced effective temperature.

Published: August 2024

Electrocutaneous stimulation can be used to warn workers in hazardous situations. To determine parameters for the operatingranges of such warning systems we investigated the influences of vibrations, temperature, and humidity on the perception,attention, muscle twitch, and intolerance thresholds of healthy volunteers in a multi-center study. In a study on 94 participants,vibrations with amplitudes of 2 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm and at frequencies of 8 Hz and 9.5 Hz were applied to the right arm. In asecond study, 52 participants experienced temperature and humidity variations within a climate chamber in four conditions: drycold (13.8 ± 1.6 °C, 33.9 ± 9.2% relative humidity (RH)), dry warm (41.3 ± 1.7 °C, 24.6 ± 5.8% RH), wet cold (12.0 ± 1.6 °C, 88.5± 8.2% RH), and wet warm (41.3 ± 2.1 °C, 65.5 ± 9.0% RH). In both studies, the upper right arm was electrically stimulated withelectrodes of size 25 mm×40 mm, and thresholds were determined. Perception, attention, and intolerance thresholds increasedwith vibration amplitude and frequency. Perception thresholds slightly increased with decreasing temperature. Muscle twitchthresholds slightly increased with increasing temperature. For both studies, women showed smaller perception and attentionthresholds as well as less muscle twitching. We conclude that the operating range of future electrical warning systems needsto be flexibly adjusted to the working conditions. The influence of the climate conditions was minor.
Analysis of Underground Flow at the Interface of Open Pit Mine and Tailings Piles in Uranium Mining through Geophysical Investigation

Published: August 2024

A Mina Osamu Utsumi foi a primeira do Brasil a extrair minério de urânio. A área apresenta fluxos estruturais complexos devido ao padrão estrutural de falhas e fraturas. O armazenamento de drenagem de ácido de mina (AMD) e o descarte de diuranato de cálcio (DUCA) na mina a céu aberto são fatores ambientais altamente preocupantes. Foi realizado um diagnóstico dos fluxos construídos na interface da mina a céu aberto e da pilha de rejeitos Bota-Fora-08 (BF-08), obtidos por meio do uso da geofísica pelo método da Eletrorresistividade, a fim de compreender os padrões de fluxo hidrogeológico de água e contaminantes. Os dados de campo foram processados ​​para produzir geofísica 2D e modelagem 3D, que foram relacionados aos dados de análise estrutural existentes para a área. Os modelos de inversão 2D mostraram um contraste entre as zonas de fluxo e zonas de rocha seca no aquífero poroso e fraturado, o que, quando combinado com os resultados estruturais, corroborou a identificação dos principais caminhos preferenciais no aquífero rochoso. Além disso, os modelos pseudo-3D demonstraram que os baixos valores de resistividade medidos até uma profundidade de aproximadamente 20 m são resultado da infiltração por DUCA e que a partir de uma profundidade de cerca de 40 m, os valores são resultado da infiltração por AMD . Para resolver o problema, no prazo, recomenda-se a perfuração de poços estratégicos para análise química das águas subterrâneas e a injeção de produtos selantes, como a bentonita. No entanto, no longo prazo, é essencial realizar estudos e tratamentos mais eficazes.

Q fever, also known as endemic zoonotic illness, is primarily thought to infect humans through ruminants. Coxiella burnetii, an obligatory intracellular bacterial pathogen with a global distribution, is the cause of Coxiellosis. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 88 goat serum samples from NARC, NGRP. Two (2) serum samples out of eighty eight (88) were confirmed to be positive for Coxiella burnetii, and the study found a prevalence of 2.273%. The risk factors of Q. fever such as age, physiological status, tick infestation, body condition score (BCS), history of abortion, health status, and stock source showed no significant correlation with finding. Further research on Q fever infection using interventional methods for control and prevention is therefore crucial from one health aspect.

Background: Cesarean section, a common surgical procedure, is responsible for a significant portion of maternal and fetal complications. The primary reason often cited for the high rate of cesarean deliveries is repeat cesarean sections. Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) serves as one alternative to repeat cesarean sections. This multi-method study aims to develop, implement, and assess the effectiveness of an intervention program designed to promote natural childbirth after cesarean section.
Method: This multi-method research , following the Talbot and Verinder model, will be conducted in two phases. The first phase involves intervention design and the utilization of the Delphi technique, while the second phase focuses on implementing and evaluating a segment of the intervention program. During the initial phase, factors relevant to VBAC will be identified through a literature review. A cross-sectional study will be carried out to prioritize these factors. Following the analysis of results and determination of priorities, the research team will design the program. Subsequently, the program will undergo validation using the Delphi technique by reproductive health specialists, obstetricians, midwives, and health managers, with input from a panel of experts. In the second phase, a portion of the designed program will be implemented as an intervention study to assess its impact.
Discussion: The results of the intervention program used in the present multi-method study are expected to enhance the promotion and advancement of VBAC. If proven effective, this intervention program, through documentation and enhancing the existing knowledge base in this health domain, could serve as a foundation for health policies and initiatives in Iran aimed at fostering VBAC and enhancing the health of both mother and baby.

Myogenous Temporomandibular joint disorder is characterised by pain & dysfunction in the masticatory muscles that are originated from pathologic and functional processes in the masticatory muscles. Most common symptoms are muscle discomfort, restricted range of motion, fatigue, stiffness, and subjective weakness. Boswellia serrata gum resin extracts have been widely employed years of years to address a wide range of chronic inflammatory conditions. These conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, and other inflammatory disorders. Silver nanoparticles have a great potential for their mechanistic role. Green synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have promising biomedical applications in healthcare. These nanoparticles are synthesized using plant-based compounds that act as moderators, resulting in AgNPs with high therapeutic potential. They offer an alternative approach to medicine utilizing the bioactive compounds of plants. The incorporation of these compounds enhances the biomedical properties of AgNPs, making them valuable for various therapeutic applications. Resinous component of Boswellia Serrata were used as a key ingredient and thymol, menthol camphor was added for topical gel formulation as it has analgesic properties which can be used for management of masticatory myalgia.

Published: August 2024

Background
A program was established at Montpellier University Hospital to screen and prevent multimorbidities in chronic inflammatory rheumatism. To evaluate the impact of this program, we conducted a systematic follow-up reassessment. The study aimed to assess the application of initial assessment recommendations and variations in clinico-biological parameters.
Methods
The application of the initial recommendations was evaluated during a systematic standardized visit with the first 198 patients reassessed.
Results
The median time from initial screening to the follow-up visit was 24 months (interquartile range = [12; 36]). At the initial workup, a mean of 3.69 ± 1.72 recommendations (/11) were issued per patient (n = 192). The mean number of recommendations implemented was 2.53 ± 1.46 per patient. Initial recommendations were applied in 60/110 (54.5%) patients with lipid levels above the target, in 30/34 (88.2%) with high blood pressure, and in 18/22 (81.8%) with hyperglycemia. In addition, 79/128 (61.7%) of patients followed vaccination recommendations and 64/103 (62.1%) updated their cancer screening. Overall, 19/60 (31.6%) patients stopped smoking. Levels of low-density lipoprotein and total cholesterol decreased significantly for patients with an initial cholesterol recommendation (-0.23 ± 0.38 g/l, p = 0.01, n = 26; -0.25 ± 0.47 g/l, p = 0.03, n = 21).
Conclusion
The medium-term evaluation of the screening and prevention program demonstrates the good application of recommendations and objective improvement of several multimorbidity criteria.

Background
Amanita is a large genus with extremely rich biodiversity. In its close relationship with humans, more than 90% of the mushroom poisoning events result from the species of this genus. Due to the abundance of the species of Amanita, and the morphological features being relatively conservative, it is difficult to distinguish the species between toxic and edible.
Results
To provide molecular markers and explore the phylogenetic relationship of Amanita genus. We sequenced and analyzed the mitogenomes (Mitochondrial genome) of five Amanita species, and performed a comparative mitogenome analysis combined with the nine published Amanita mitogenomes. In addition, we predicted the introns, repeat sequences, AT-skew, GC-skew, and tRNA (Transfer RNA) for five Amanita species. Four phylogenetic trees of ML (Maximum likelihood) and BI (Bayesian inference) were constructed based on different datasets of 15 PCGs (Protein coding genes) of 55 species, the results showing that this genus was divided into two subgenera, with ectomycorrhizal species and asymbiotic species clustered into one each. Among the 14 Amanita species, the branches and the taxonomic status of all species of Amanita, except A. pseudoporphyria, were identical to the current taxonomic status.
Conclusions
We believe that after a certain amount of mitogenome accumulation, toxic and edible species between the gene rearrangement rules and in its phylogenetic relationship present different distributions. This study provides molecular data for macrofungal studies.
