Published: September 2021

Background: The myopia is a public health issue that attracts much attention. However, limited attention has been paid to the effect of primary school students' acceptance of health messages. Previous studies have found that framing effects and evidence types influence the persuasive effect of messages.Purpose: This study explored whether framing effects and evidence type influence the persuasive effect of myopia prevention messages among elementary school students and the influence of children's myopia prevention cognition was considered.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,493 elementary school students aged 9 to 13 in China from May to July 2020 by convenience sampling. Wilcoxon signed-rank test and multinomial logistic regression were used for data analysis.Results: Significant differences were found in the persuasive effect between statistical and non-statistical evidence messages (p &lt; 0.001). Among non-statistical evidence messages, gain-framed messages showed a greater persuasive effect than loss-framed messages (p &lt; 0.001). Among statistical evidence messages, loss-framed messages performed better than gain-framed messages (p &lt; 0.001). Children's myopia prevention cognition exerted no significant effect on the persuasive effect of the messages (p &gt; 0.05).Conclusion: This study demonstrated the influence of framing effect on the persuasive effect of myopia prevention messages among children aged 9 to 13 in China. Non-statistical evidence messages showed a better persuasive effect than statistical evidence messages. Different types of evidence influenced the persuasive effect of gain- and loss- framed messages. These findings have implications for strategies more or less likely to work in making myopia prevention messages for children.

Objectives: Purpose of study is to explore the roles religiosity and fatalistic beliefs play in diabetes management among newly, currently, and long-term enrolled Mexican-American participants in a Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) chronic care management program.Methods: In 2017, study participants (n = 15) completed a semi-structured interview in their preferred language (English or Spanish). Sample was stratified by amount of time individual had been enrolled as a participant of the Salud y Vida program: newly, currently, or long-term. Interviews assessed religious beliefs, beliefs concerning the cause(s) of diabetes, perceived relationship between religiosity and fatalistic beliefs with T2DM management, and the appropriateness of discussing such topics with a health professional. Interview responses were analyzed using ATLAS.ti 8.Results: Themes identified included: perceived autonomy over diabetes prognosis, motivators for self-care, discussions of personal beliefs in the healthcare setting, and the church's role in diabetes management.Conclusions: Among this sample, religiosity and religious fatalism played a complex role in coping with and managing diabetes. Long-term enrolled and male participants expressed beliefs of divine control over health, and a connection between religiosity and health behavior. Long-term enrolled participants felt religious and fatalistic beliefs may be suitable and beneficial to discuss in the healthcare setting.

Authors: Chen Guo Xin , Chen Chu Wen , Wen Xiao Rong , Huang Bin 
Published: September 2021

Background: Intravascular fasciitis is a rare disease that is a reactive proliferative lesion of myofibroblasts. There are rare reports that intravascular fasciitis has invaded the jugular vein as seen in this case.Case Presentation: A 41-year-old female presented with right neck dull pain for 20 days. The appearance of the subcutaneous mass was oval, pink hyaline, well-demarcated, and measuring ~5 mm in diameter. Microscopically, the mass was composed of spindle cells arranged in intersecting fascicles. Immunohistochemical stains showed that the spindle cells were positive for smooth muscle actin and negative for S-100, Desmin, MyoD1, and elastin stains. The nuclei of the spindle cells were relatively uniform, and mitotic activity was observed. The overall morphological and immunohistochemical features are consistent with intravascular fasciitis.Conclusion: Due to the rapid growth and vascular invasion, intravascular fasciitis created a high risk of misdiagnosing it as a sarcoma or thrombosis. Reporting this uncommon case, we raise awareness of this non-neoplastic lesion, and careful, light microscopic examination combined with immunohistochemical staining aids in the diagnosis of intravascular fasciitis.

Background: Therapy-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a lethal castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) subtype that, at present, lacks well-characterized molecular biomarkers. The clinical diagnosis of this disease is dependent on biopsy and histological assessment: methods that are experience-based and easily misdiagnosed due to tumor heterogeneity. The development of robust diagnostic tools for NEPC may assist clinicians in making medical decisions on the choice of continuing anti-androgen receptor therapy or switching to platinum-based chemotherapy.Methods: Gene expression profiles and clinical characteristics data of 208 samples of metastatic CRPC, including castration-resistant prostate adenocarcinoma (CRPC-adeno) and castration-resistant neuroendocrine prostate adenocarcinoma (CRPC-NE), were obtained from the prad_su2c_2019 dataset. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was subsequently used to construct a free-scale gene co-expression network to study the interrelationship between the potential modules and clinical features of metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma and to identify hub genes in the modules. Furthermore, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to build a model to predict the clinical characteristics of CRPC-NE. The findings were then verified in the nepc_wcm_2016 dataset.Results: A total of 51 co-expression modules were successfully constructed using WGCNA, of which three co-expression modules were found to be significantly associated with the neuroendocrine features and the NEPC score. In total, four novel genes, including NPTX1, PCSK1, ASXL3, and TRIM9, were all significantly upregulated in NEPC compared with the adenocarcinoma samples, and these genes were all associated with the neuroactive ligand receptor interaction pathway. Next, the expression levels of these four genes were used to construct an NEPC diagnosis model, which was successfully able to distinguish CRPC-NE from CRPC-adeno samples in both the training and the validation cohorts. Moreover, the values of the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) were 0.995 and 0.833 for the training and validation cohorts, respectively.Conclusion: The present study identified four specific novel biomarkers for therapy-related NEPC, and these biomarkers may serve as an effective tool for the diagnosis of NEPC, thereby meriting further study.

Flowering is an important developmental process from vegetative to reproductive growth in plant; thus, it is necessary to analyze the genes involved in the regulation of flowering time. The MADS-box transcription factor family exists widely in plants and plays an important role in the regulation of flowering time. However, the molecular mechanism of GmFULc involved in the regulation of plant flowering is not very clear. In this study, GmFULc protein had a typical MADS domain and it was a member of MADS-box transcription factor family. The expression analysis revealed that GmFULc was induced by short days (SD) and regulated by the circadian clock. Compared to wild type (WT), overexpression of GmFULc in transgenic Arabidopsis caused significantly earlier flowering time, while ful mutants flowered later, and overexpression of GmFULc rescued the late-flowering phenotype of ful mutants. ChIP-seq of GmFULc binding sites identified potential direct targets, including TOPLESS (TPL), and it inhibited the transcriptional activity of TPL. In addition, the transcription levels of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS1 (SOC1) and LEAFY (LFY) in the downstream of TPL were increased in GmFULc- overexpressionArabidopsis, suggesting that the early flowering phenotype was associated with up-regulation of these genes. Our results suggested that GmFULc inhibited the transcriptional activity of TPL and induced expression of FT, SOC1 and LFY to promote flowering.

Producing bulk AlN with grain sizes in the nano regime and measuring its thermal conductivity is an important milestone in the development of materials for high energy optical applications. We present the synthesis and subsequent densification of nano-AlN powder to produce bulk nanocrystalline AlN. The nanopowder is synthesized by converting transition alumina (δ-Al2O3) with <40 nm grain size to AlN using a carbon free reduction/nitridation process. We consolidated the nano-AlN powder using current activated pressure assisted densification (CAPAD) and achieved a relative density of 98% at 1300 °C with average grain size, d¯~125 nm. By contrast, high quality commercially available AlN powder yields densities ~75% under the same CAPAD conditions. We used the 3-ω method to measure the thermal conductivity, κ of two nanocrystalline samples, 91% dense, d¯ = 110 nm and 99% dense, d¯ = 220 nm, respectively. The dense sample with 220 nm grains has a measured κ = 43 W/(m·K) at room temperature, which is relatively high for a nanocrystalline ceramic, but still low compared to single crystal and large grain sized polycrystalline AlN which can exceed 300 W/(m·K). The reduction in κ in both samples is understood as a combination of grain boundary scattering and porosity effects. We believe that these are finest d¯ reported in bulk dense AlN and is the first report of thermal conductivity for AlN with ≤220 nm grain size. The obtained κ values are higher than the vast majority of conventional optical materials, demonstrating the advantage of AlN for high-energy optical applications.

Обоснован рост требований к системе мониторинга здоровья и физиологического состояния животных для решения задач по увеличению срока продуктивного хозяйственного использования высокопродуктивных коров на крупных молочных комплексах. Анализ основных причин выбраковки коров в племенных хозяйствах Ленинградской области свидетельствует, что большую часть болезней при беспривязном содержании коров с доением в доильных залах можно выявить и предотвратить на ранних стадиях, тщательно фиксируя и оперативно реагируя на «сигналы коров», характеризующие активность, особенности передвижения, нахождение в различных зонах животноводческих помещений, потребление корма и воды, руминацию, внешний вид. Проведен анализ возможностей и ограничений существующих и разрабатываемых автоматических систем мониторинга здоровья и физиологического состояния животных, таких как: ошейники с транспондерами, ушные бирки c трехосным акселерометром, болюсы. Рассмотрены тенденции и перспективы разработки и освоения в молочном животноводстве цифровых технологий обработки и анализа визуальной информации, получаемой круглосуточно с камер наблюдения, с применением элементов «искусственного интеллекта», нейросетевых алгоритмов. Мониторинг поведенческих сигналов животных с помощью современных цифровых технологий может стать решением актуальных производственно-экономических задач: сохранение здоровья высокопродуктивных коров в больших стадах в условиях автоматизированного производства молока, увеличение продолжительности их хозяйственного использования, улучшение воспроизводства стада, рост экономической эффективности отрасли.
The growth of requirements for the system of monitoring the health and physiological state of animals for solving the problems of increasing the period of productive economic use of highly productive cows at large dairy complexes has been substantiated. Analysis of the main reasons for the culling of cows in the breeding farms of the Leningrad Region shows that most of the diseases in case of loose housing of cows with milking in milking parlors can be detected and prevented at early stages by carefully recording and promptly responding to “cow signals” characterizing activity , peculiarities of movement, being in various zones of livestock buildings, consumption of feed and water, rumination, appearance. The analysis of the possibilities and limitations of existing and developed automatic systems for monitoring the health and physiological state of animals, such as collars with transponders, ear tags, boluses, is carried out. Trends and prospects for the development and development of digital technologies for processing and analysis of visual information received around the clock from surveillance cameras using elements of "artificial intelligence" and neural network algorithms are considered.
Derivational Morphology of Assamese Lexical Word Categories
Authors: Das Palash , Madhumita Barbora  
Published: September 2021

Word formation by derivation is very productive in Assamese. A significant amount of words in Assamese owe their origin to derivation. The analysis in this paper takes into account the derivational processes related with lexical word categories, and, numerous bound morphemes that are used in the derivational process in the language. This analysis helps us to understand some of the important aspects of Assamese morphology. These aspects are - role of class maintaining and class changing morphemes, derivation of word from synonyms, productivity of derivational morphemes, morphophonemic changes in root as a result of affixation of derivational morphemes, presence of allomorphs of various bound morphemes, ability of a morpheme to derive words from different word categories. The significance of this papers lies in the fact that these word formation processes could help develop morphological rules that can be used for developing computational morphological tools like- stemmer, spell checker, tagger etc.
Non- Prototypical Reduplication in Odia
Authors: Dash Suhasini 
Published: September 2021

The paper discusses in detail echo formations and expressives found in the Odia language and the strategies for forming them. The complex semantic structure as well as the wide semantic and conceptual space they occupy, make them complex categories that have been ignored both by Western and Asian linguists because they are a prototypical grammatical feature not fitting the traditional grammar writing (Abbi, 2018). Odia has morphological fixed segmentism with the variants /ph/ and /m/. Morphological fixed segmentism is a kind of affixation, and so it resembles affixing morphology generally.
[ɡaɽɪ > ɡaɽɪ phaɽɪ ‘car and other transport’ ; ʧɪra > ʧɪra mɪra ‘ torn and such’ ]
This paper endeavours to find the reason behind this particular choice of phonemes by Odia speakers. Furthermore, the paper investigates if Odia base-reduplicant structures follow the Syllable Contact Law (Vennemann, 1988). According to the Syllable Contact Law, sonority should fall across syllable boundaries. This paper proves that Odia base-reduplicant structures follow the Syllable Contact Law as rise in sonority across syllable boundaries is a marked feature in Odia.’

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kontribusi dinding dan arsitektur ruang serta jarak gedung ke jalan terhadap reduksi bising dari luar kedalam bangunan, dan distribusi bunyi yang terjadi. Studi kasus pada 2 gereja yaitu gereja GMIM Kampus Unsrat dan gereja GMIM Bethesda Ranotana di Kota Manado. Sebuah sumber bunyi di letakkan di luar ruang dekat pagar pada jarak 12 m terhadap gedung, dengan kuat bunyi konstan namun bervariasi antara 60 sampai dengan 100 dB dengan tahapan setiap 10 dB. Kuat bunyi dihitung dan diukur pada setiap jarak 2 m diruang luar dan dalam Gereja. Pengukuran menggunakan alat sound level meter. Perhitungan menggunakan teori akustik ruang dan software I_Simpa. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa konfigurasi arsitektur selubung dan ruang bangunan kedua gereja tersebut dalam keadaan kosong hanya mampu mereduksi bising sebesar 2.2 dan 3.7 dB, dengan jendela terbuka. Dengan sumber suara 100 dB di ruang luar, hasil pengukuran di ruang dalam pada kedua gereja mencapai 69.3 dB(A) dan 56.4 dB(A). Rentang bunyi tersebut masih tergolong bising dan belum memenuhi syarat kenyamanan bunyi untuk jenis bangunan ibadah menurut SNI. Visualisasi distribusi bunyi dengan menggunakan software I_Simpa, menunjukkan peran bukaan pintu dan jendela yang menyebabkan kebocoran bunyi kedalam ruangan.Kata kunci: Akustika; bising; dinding; gereja Noise Level and Sound Propagation Due to Outside Sound at GMIM Church Unsrat Campus and GMIM Bethesda Manado ABSTRACTThis research aims to determine the contribution of walls and architectural interior, and the distance of the building to the road to the reduction of noise from outside into the building as well as the distribution of sound that occurs. Case studies on 2 churches: the GMIM Church of Unsrat Campus and the GMIM Bethesda Ranotana Church, both in Manado City. A sound source was placed outside the room near the fence at 12 m from the building. The sound source was constant but varied from 60 to 100 dB with steps every 10 dB. Sound reception was calculated and measured every 2 m distance at outside and inside. Measurements were carried out using sound level meter. Calculations by acoustic theory and I_Simpa software. The results show that the churches when room is empty, had only able to reduce the noise by 2.2 and 3.7 dB, with opened windows. When a 100 dB sound source was applied, the measurement results in the indoor of the two buildings reached 69.3 dB(A) and 56.4 dB(A). Graphical visualizations of sound distribution by using I_Simpa software, showed the role of door and opened window that cause sound leakage into the room.Keywords: Acoustic; church; noise; wall

Authors: Alyanak Ahmet 
Published: September 2021

Objective: At present, there is still no method that can be called the gold standard in hernia repair. The main objective of this study was to review the rates, including pain and recurrence, of the most important complications for patient dissatisfaction across different methods applied by different surgeons.
Material and Methods: Four hundred twenty one patients who were operated on by three surgeons were retrospectively reviewed with respect to the main complications of pain and recurrence. Self-adhesive mesh and Lichtenstein repairs were performed by the same surgeon, whereas Bassini and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repairs were performed by separate surgeons.
Results: In all repair types, there were a significant difference between visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores on the first postoperative day compared to VAS scores at the one-month mark (p<0.001). The difference between VAS scores in the first month according to repair types was statistically significant (p<0.001). There was a significant difference between repair types and development of chronic pain (p<0.001). Recurrence rates also showed a statistically significant difference amongst repair types (p=0.001).
Conclusion: Although the Lichtenstein and laparoscopic methods are superior in terms of recurrence compared to the Bassini method, chronic pain complications from the Bassini method appear to be acceptable

Published: September 2021

Objective: Adolescence is a critical period for the maturation of neurobiological processes that underlie higher cognitive functions and social and emotional behaviour. However, there are limited studies that investigated brain volumes in healthy adolescents and young persons. The aim of this study was to compare the Grey Matter (GM), White Matter (WM) and some specific brain subcortical volumes such as hippocampus and amygdala between healthy adolescents and young groups by using VolBrain.
Material and Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging brain scans were retrospectively obtained from 20 healthy adolescent and young subjects. The mean ages of the adolescent and young persons were 13±1 and 24±2, respectively. Brain parenchyma (BP), GM, WM and asymmetry features were calculated using VolBrain, and the GM and WM volumes of each subjects were compared with those of the both groups. The current study to examine whether regional gray matter (GM), white matter (WM), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), some brain subcortical structures volumes differed between healthy adolescent and young groups. Also, of the whole brain, hemispheres, and hippocampus, amigdala of adolescent and young subject volumes were measured with an automated method.
Results: We have observed that the young group was found to have a 4 % less in volume of GM, when compared with adolescent groups.
Conclusion: Our data indicate that quantitative structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data of the adolescent brain is important in understanding the age-related human morphological changes.
