Authors: Yan Nan
Published: January 2024

This paper completes the implementation of the risk control module of the international trade investment decision-making module through the construction process of the programmed international trade investment platform. Combining the decision tree algorithm and logistic regression algorithm to categorize and screen the factors affecting the fluctuation of international trade stock prices to obtain the international trade market fundamentals and technical factors that have a significant impact on international trade stock prices. The Kalman filter model is applied to improve the effective market factors screened so that the factor selection of the international trade investment model is more advantageous. After constructing the platform, in order to reflect its convenience, the RE, OLS, TI, TVD and BC models were used to analyze the export trade efficiency of the home country, respectively. The results show that the degree of facilitation of the host country’s trade and investment platform is positively correlated with the loss of the home country’s export trade efficiency (0.043), which is statistically significant at the 1% significance level, and that the loss of the home country’s export trade efficiency increases by 4.3% for every 1 unit increase in the degree of facilitation of the host country’s trade and investment platform. The construction of the international trade and investment platform increases the facilitation of export trade from trading partner countries to the host country, which indirectly increases the export trade efficiency loss of the home country.

The Embodiment of Digital Art Elements in Traditional Cultural and Creative Product Designs
Authors: Zheng Dongdong
Published: January 2024

In order to extract the image path of traditional cultural and creative items, we set the binary image target of such products to be black and the backdrop to be white in this research. We followed the use of image vectorization processing technology. In order to address the issue of edge jaggedness in the traditional cultural and creative product image path extraction process, polygonal contour fitting is utilized to optimize the image paths of these products, resulting in the creation of a vector map of these products. The PCA point cloud alignment technique is used, based on the vector map of traditional cultural and creative products, to identify the attributes of these items and build a model of their traditional cultural and creative product design that incorporates digital art. After choosing dependent and independent variables, traditional cultural and creative product design, including digital art aspects, is studied and analyzed using linear quantile regression. The findings demonstrate that all of the value-added ratio’s coefficients are significant and bigger at the 0.2 and 0.95 quantile points, suggesting that raising the ratio can aid in the merger of digital art and more established creative and cultural sectors. The medium (M=3.586) and small standard deviation of the traditional cultural and creative items incorporating digital art suggest that the use function and cost-effectiveness of these products have a stronger influence on purchase motivation. This research encourages the fusion of digital art components with conventional cultural and artistic output in order to give traditional culture a fresh lease of life in the information era.

Published: January 2024

This paper first explores the changes brought about by the convergence of digital media technology and radio and television. The SIFT feature extraction method is proposed based on the image signal characteristics, and the convolution operation is done on both the extracted image and the Gaussian kernel. In order to ensure the accurate localization of the key points of the image, the method of quadratic Taylor expansion of the DoG function is utilized to remove the unstable points, thus obtaining the accurate localization of the key points. Next, a 128-dimensional SIFT feature vector is generated by specifying the direction reference of the key point, and a visual dictionary is constructed on the basis of the generated feature vector. The impact of digital media technology on language intervention in radio and television is investigated through quantitative analysis and case studies. The results show that the scores of the image features after SIFT processing are in the interval of [13.342, 15.636], which is the highest score among the three methods, and the effect is better. The global digital media news parameter works increased by 240 works from 2013-2014 and reached the peak state of 732 works in 2021, and the public’s recognition of the visual language visualization of digital media news increased.

Research progress on the role of cold-sensitive channel TRPM8 in controlling low temperature-induced bone metabolic imbalance
Authors: Zhang Yimeng , Kazakova E. V , Chai Huijuan , Zhou Ping
Published: January 2024

With increasing aging population, osteoporosis has emerged as a public health problem worldwide. Epidemiological data reveal that the prevalence of osteoporosis in cold regions is high, and low temperatures may crucially affect bone mass. Recent studies have found that the transient receptor potential melastatin-8 (TRPM8) channel, a cold-sensitive ion channel, can sense cold environment, and can be activated in cold environment. It may play an antagonistic role in low temperature-induced bone mass reduction. Mechanistically, this function may be ascribed to the activation of TRPM8 channel proteins in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs), which causes osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in the bone. TRPM8 channel on the surface of brown adipocytes participates in the thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) and the regulation of whole-body energy balance to maintain bone homeostasis. TRPM8 may be involved in bone remodeling throughout life. This paper reviews recent research on the possible antagonistic mechanism of TRPM8 in signaling pathways related to low temperature-induced bone mass loss and assesses the possibility of TRPM8 as a molecular target for the prevention and treatment of low temperature-induced osteoporosis in cold regions.

Authors: Wu Gaosong , Zhang Yuhao , Zheng Ningning , Tian Saisai , Liao Jingyu , Le Wanqi , Li Houkai , Zhang Weidong
Published: January 2024

Objective

Cold exposure has been suggested to be advantageous for the spread and infection of the coronavirus, and the gut microbiota influences the severity of the infection by modulating host inflammatory and immune responses. However, it remains unclear whether the promotion of viral infection through cold exposure is linked to the gut microbiota.

Methods

In this study, we performed an unbiased analysis of gut microbiota, serum, and lung tissue metabolome changes in cold-exposed and virus-infected mice, alongside the assessment of immune-inflammatory indicators in serum and lung tissue.

Results

The results revealed that both cold exposure and viral infection significantly decreased the percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes (CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and B cell) and increased the expression of inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IFN-γ). Meanwhile, cold exposure disrupted the homeostasis of gut microbiota, elevating the abundance of pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus) and diminishing the abundance of beneficial bacteria (Alistipes). Notably, in virus-infected mice exposed to a cold environment, the reduction in the abundance of beneficial bacteria Alistipes was more pronounced than in cases of single virus infection and cold exposure. Analysis of altered serum and lung tissue metabolites highlighted glycerophospholipids, fatty acids, and eicosanoids as the most affected metabolites by cold exposure. These metabolites, closely associated with virus infection, exhibited a significant correlation with immune-inflammatory indicators.

Conclusion

These findings establish a mechanistic connection between cold exposure and virus infection, suggesting that cold exposure-induced dysregulation of gut microbiota and lipid metabolism diminishes host immunity, promoting virus infection.

Published: January 2024

Background

Previous studies have established a link between fluctuations in climate and increased mortality due to coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there remains a need to explore and clarify the evidence for associations between meteorological changes and hospitalization incidences related to CAD and its subtypes, especially in cold regions. This study aimed to systematically investigate the relationship between exposure to meteorological changes, air pollutants, and hospitalization for CAD in cold regions.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study using hospitalization records of 86,483 CAD patients between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2019. Poisson regression analysis, based on generalized additive models, was applied to estimating the influence of hospitalization for CAD.

Results

Significant associations were found between low ambient temperature [-10°C, RR = 1.65; 95% CI: (1.28–2.13)] and the incidence of hospitalization for CAD within a lag of 0–14 days. Furthermore, O3 [95.50 μg/m3, RR = 12; 95% CI: (1.03–1.21)] and NO2 [48.70 μg/m3, RR = 1.0895% CI: (1.01–1.15)] levels were identified as primary air pollutants affecting the incidence of CAD, ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) within the same lag period. Furthermore, O3 [95.50 μg/m3, RR = 1.12; 95% CI: (1.03–1.21)] and NO2 [48.70 μg/m3, RR = 1.0895% CI: (1.01–1.15)] levels were identified as primary air pollutants affecting the incidence of CAD, ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) within the same lag period. The effect curve of CAD hospitalization incidence significantly increased at lag days 2 and 4 when NO2 and O3 concentrations were higher, with a pronounced effect at 7 days, dissipating by lag 14 days. No significant associations were observed between exposure to PM, SO2, air pressure, humidity, or wind speed and hospitalization incidences due to CAD and its subtypes.

Conclusion

Our findings suggest a positive correlation between short-term exposure to low ambient temperatures or air pollutants (O3 and NO2) and hospitalizations for CAD, STEMI, and NSTEMI. These results could aid the development of effective preparedness strategies for frequent extreme weather events and support clinical and public health practices aimed at reducing the disease burden associated with current and future abnormal weather events.

Published: January 2024

Soziale Medien spielten bei der Mobilisierung im Rahmen der Corona-Protestbewegung eine bedeutende Rolle, wobei neben etablierten Anbietern wie Facebook, YouTube oder TikTok auch weniger bekannte Soziale Medien, wie z.B. Gettr oder BitChutedafür verwendet wurden. Mit ihnen eröffneten sich für die unterschiedlichen Akteur:innen eine Reihe von neuen kommunikativen Möglichkeitsräumen, eigene Inhalte, aber auch Mis- und Desinformationen sowie Verschwörungstheorien direkt zu verbreiten. Insbesondere aus der Beteiligung rechtsextremer Akteur:innen erwachsen Befürchtungen einer entsprechenden Politisierung. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht relevante Akteur:innen der österreichischen Corona-Protestbewegung und deren plattformübergreifende Social Media-Kommunikation. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Mehrzahl der Akteur:innen mehrere Plattformen verwendete und vor allem Telegram eine zentrale Rolle spielte. Die digitale Mobilisierung erfolgte überwiegend in einem wenig regulierten Social Media-Umfeld und erreichte dort vergleichsweise ältere Nutzungsgruppen. Inhaltlich standen populistische Bezüge und Verschwörungstheorien im Vordergrund, wobei letztere vermehrt von politisch extrem rechten Akteur:innen verbreitet wurden.

Population aging is an inevitable consequence of demographic transitions, and declining fertility causes a rising burden of aging. The present study aims to project the aging index of various states nationwide up to 2031. In addition, the study estimates the year by which different states and union territories (UTs) will reach the Kerala levels index of aging (i.e., aged society). To conduct this study, data were gathered from the 2001 and 2011 Census of India. Using simple trend extrapolation techniques, we produced projections of aging indices up to 2031. Further, an index of aging of each state and union territory up to the level of Kerala state (i.e., aged society) was projected. The results showed that there will be a change in the age structure of the population from 2011 to 2031. There will be a 6% increase in the working-age group (15–59 years) and a 5% in the older population (60 years and above). However, there will be a decline of 11.2% in the children ages 0–14 years. The southern states and some states of north India, such as Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, are likely to attain Kerala’s level of aging index in the next few years. However, northern states are expected to take more years to achieve it. Therefore, there is a need to promote harmony between development and demographic change by expanding economic and social resources for older persons. The time has come to plan for the future burden of the older population across the country and arrange appropriate health facilities for them.

Maternal status and autonomy play a crucial role in achieving gender equality, which in turn has the potential to decrease the incidence of stunting, a persisting challenge in Indonesia. This study explores the correlation between stunting and factors such as maternal status and autonomy at the provincial level across Indonesia. It employs methodologies like cross-tabulation and odds ratio, complemented by the Mantel-Haenszel test for analytical purposes. The research utilizes data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS), the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) of 2022, and publications by the Central Statistics Agency from 2021 and 2022. Findings indicate a notable correlation between the prevalence of stunting and women’s participation in decision-making, particularly regarding physical mobility and the Net Enrollment Rate (NER) for junior high school females. To address this discovery, there is a pressing need for governmental and other relevant entities to focus on enhancing educational attainment and ensuring that all initiatives are grounded in principles of gender equality.

The article’s main tasks include analyzing changes in the main parameters of Ukraine’s demographic sustainability before the current full-scale war (1989–2021) and assessing the quantitative, structural, and territorial demographic changes caused by it. The databases of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the International Organization for Migration, official reports of the Ukrainian Government, and expert data are the primary sources of demographic statistics. I used the index analysis tools to study changes in the reproductive and age-sex balances in Ukraine and its regions. Since the mid-1990s, Ukraine has been experiencing a deepening demographic reproduction crisis, manifested in a large-scale population decline and a deterioration in age and gender balance. Using the cluster analysis method, the demographic zoning of Ukraine is carried out. Russia’s full-scale invasion has catastrophically weakened Ukraine’s demographic sustainability. As a result of the war, tens of thousands of Ukrainian citizens died, and millions migrated, which deepened significant deformations in the sex and age structure of the population. The obtained results can be used to develop social and demographic policy measures. The study’s limitations are related to the lack of reliable migration data.

Catholic schools in Brazil over the past centuries have collaborated and collaborate in the education of countless generations. The Law of Guidelines and Base of National Education (law 9394/96) in its article 19, defines that these schools are called denominational schools and are characterized by their own ideologies. In this way, such basic education institutions follow the state legislation and that of their sponsors. Specifically, some Catholic schools, upon assuming the National Common Curricular Base (2018), began to guide Religious Education according to the non-confessional model established by the BNCC. However, they should expose the explicitly religious proposal, which they did for Pastoral Escolar to demonstrate the Spirituality and Charisma of the Congregations that guide these schools. From this scenario, the Schools of the Scalabrinian Sisters (REDE ESI) and of the Salesian Fathers and Sisters (REDE SALESINA BRASIL DE ESCOLAS), organized a project based on the biography, charisma and spirituality of their founders, a proposal of work with the students. This article is the result of the systematization of these proposals organized from 2016, with the aim of demonstrating the work carried out from documents produced by these groups.

The book of the prophet Amos calls attention to the defense of the poor and presents a political and religious power structure that did not measure any efforts to plan corrupt and violent methods in order to exploit and expropriate the weakest. The present article intends to address who these poor are, who the perpetrators of injustice are, and how the prophet Amos exercised his prophetism in denouncing the iniquities that were aimed at profit.
Integrally Estimated Nuclide Inventory and Decay Heat from Potential Nuclear Waste Represented by the Spent Fuel from the Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1

Published: January 2024

Assuming an accident that may damage spent fuel assemblies at an NPP, nuclear fuel in the spent fuel pool can be considered as radioactive waste. Data on its nuclide composition and heat generation is seen important for the safety assessment of its storage and potential radiological consequences in case of an accident. The SOCRAT/V3 integral code designed to simulate severe accidents at nuclear power plants with VVER power units is able to estimate the nuclide inventory of irradiated fuel based on a one-through calculation and a built-in model. This code was used for a computational analysis of the spent fuel from the Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1, namely, evaluated was its nuclide composition and its decay heat release. The results were compared with the reference data from JAEA (Japan). The calculations demonstrate that in case of severe accident simulations, the use of an integral approach causes no large errors in the estimated nuclide inventory. For most dose-forming radionuclides in the spent fuel, relative deviation of activity from the reference data does not exceed 15%, which appears to be lower than the typical uncertainty under source term predictions. Despite certain overestimation tendency that can be noticed, the decay heat levels calculated for the spent fuel pool appear to be quite similar to those presented in the JAEA report differing by no more than 16% in the first years after the accident, and by 5% ten years after the accident.

The paper considers a numerical model of radionuclide transport in the structural elements of a near-surface radioactive waste disposal facility (NSDF). It presents a calculation of a nuclide flow from the NSDF into the underlying rocks and groundwater considering three characteristic groups of radionuclides: long-lived weakly absorbable, long-lived absorbable and relatively short-lived (with a half-life of up to 31 years). The study demonstrates how the sorption properties of the engineered barriers, their geometric characteristics, as well as the features of radioactive waste package layout may influence radionuclide releases from the waste disposal facility into groundwater.
