ObjectivesThe effect of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNSs) on long-term satiety is not well understood. This systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to investigate the effect of NNSs on long-term total energy and macronutrients intake.MethodsOnline databases including Scopus, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched up to September 2024 to find relevant randomized control trials (RCTs). A random effects model was used for estimating the overall effects.ResultsThe results showed a reducing effect of NNSs consumption vs. sugar on total energy intake [total energy intake change = −175.26 kcal/day, 95% confidence interval (CI): −296.47 to −54.06, I2 = 61.19%] and carbohydrate intake [Hedges’ g = −0.35, 95% CI: −0.63 to −0.06, I2 = 58.99%]. While, NNSs intake vs. water was not associated with significant change in total energy intake [total energy intake change = 29.94 kcal/day, 95% CI: −70.37 to 130.24, I2 = 34.98%] and carbohydrate intake [Hedges’ g = 0.28, 95% CI: −0.02 to 0.58, I2 = 65.26%]. The Consumption of NNSs compared to the either sugar or water did not have a significant effect on fat intake [Hedges’ g sugar = 0.08, 95% CI: −0.10 to 0.26, I2 = 8.73%/ fat intake change water = 0.20 g/day, 95% CI: −3.48 to 3.88, I2 = 0%] and Protein intake [Hedges’ g sugar = 0.16, 95% CI: −0.11 to 0.42, I2 = 50.83%/Hedges’ g water = 0.00, 95% CI: −0.15 to 0.16, I2 = 0%].ConclusionIn summary, our findings suggest that NNSs consumption may be effective in reducing total energy and carbohydrate intake compared to sugar.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=432816, CRD42023432816.

BackgroundWe aimed to explore the association between the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and the risk of low cognitive functions among older adults in the United States (US).MethodsUtilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study (NHANES) database, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted. The GNRI served as a tool for evaluating the nutritional status of participants, who were categorized into two groups based on their initial GNRI scores: those with scores &gt;98 indicating normal nutrition, and those with scores ≤98 indicating malnutrition. Cognitive function was assessed using the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s disease word list learning test (CERAD W-L), the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), the Animal Fluency Test (AFT), and the composite-z score which was calculated by summing the z scores of individual tests, respectively. Weighted multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between GNRI and cognitive function. Interaction and stratified analyses were conducted.ResultsAmong a sample of 2,925 individuals aged 60 years or older, 51.3% were women. Among these individuals, 233 were identified as malnourished. Weighted multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that individuals with malnutrition had an increased risk of low cognitive function, as evidenced by lower CERAD W-L scores (OR:1.68, 95%CI 1.19–2.36, p = 0.003), AFT scores (OR: 1.74, 95%CI 1.26–2.41, p = 0.009), DSST scores (OR:1.63, 95%CI 1.11–2.38, p = 0.012), or composite z-scores (OR:1.87, 95%CI 1.29–2.71, p = 0.001). According to the variables evaluated, the interaction effects between low GNRI level and the elderly and stroke in specific cognitive domains were significant (P interaction &lt; 0.05).ConclusionLower GNRI level is associated with significantly low cognitive function among older adults, particularly among those who have experienced a stroke or the elderly (aged 70 years and older) population.

PurposeThis study aimed to determine the impact of job fitness on depression and depressive symptoms in Korean middle-aged and older population.MethodsWe collected data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA), and performed a longitudinal analysis on 3,185 individuals with jobs at baseline. The dependent variable, depressive symptoms was measured by CES-D10 score, and the main variable of interest, job fitness was classified into nine groups according to job satisfaction and education level. To determine whether the estimate of depressive symptoms over the past week and depression changed over time, we applied the Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) model.ResultsIn the fully adjusted model, the impact of job fitness on depression and depressive symptoms was statistically significant. Compared to those with a suitable job level and a medium educational level, those with a large gap between job and educational levels were more likely to develop depression and depressive symptoms. It was also found that satisfaction with job content was a crucial factor affecting depression in the middle-aged and older adults.ConclusionOur findings demonstrated that job fitness significantly influenced depression, even after accounting for the effect of job satisfaction caused by a mismatch in job-education fitness. Since work demands and responsibility are difficult to quantify or qualify, job-education fitness could serve as a valuable tool to predict the extent of depression deterioration in individuals.

IntroductionResearch into various aspects of vulnerability and poverty has played a key role in shaping cash transfer systems. Cash-based direct benefit transfers (DBT) are frequently discussed, as they help reduce corruption and limit intermediary involvement, which often impedes policy implementation in countries like India. Small and marginal farmers (SMFs), constituting 86% of India’s farming population, are essential for sustainable agricultural growth and ensuring food and nutrition security. The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme provides Rs.6000 annually to the farmer families via DBT mechanism. Despite reports and information from various government sources, significant concerns remain regarding the performance of PM-KISAN scheme in improving living conditions of SMFs.MethodsFor having the highest number of SMFs, a research study was conducted in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Two cluster of villages from each of these two states were chosen by simple random sampling (SRS) method. An ex post facto research design was used; data was gathered from 240 SMFs, with 120 beneficiaries and 120 non-beneficiaries, using a stratified disproportionate simple random sampling technique. The study used 18 indicators related to livelihood assets—human capital, social capital, natural capital, physical capital, and financial capital—to generate a Livelihood Index (LI) through Principal Component Analysis (PCA).ResultsThe beneficiaries of the scheme had an average LI score of 0.396, while non-beneficiaries had a score of 0.366. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) was employed to compare the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries in order to determine the impact of the scheme. In the Livelihood Index of beneficiaries, in comparison to non-beneficiaries, there was a significant improvement of 3.34 to 4.13 percentage points, according to the analysis, which utilized a variety of matching algorithms.DiscussionImplications from the study suggests that PM-KISAN should be integrated into a broader rural development strategy to maximize multiplier effects. By combining cash transfers with complementary initiatives like modern technology adoption and high-yield seeds, farmers can make productive investments that could enhance their livelihood status.
Advanced Numerical Modeling and Experimental Analysis of Thermal Gradients in Gleeble Compression Configuration for 2017-T4 Aluminum Alloy

Published: November 2024

Gleeble thermomechanical simulators are widely utilized tools for the investigation of high-temperature deformation behavior in materials. However, temperature gradients that develop within the specimen during Gleeble compression tests have the potential to result in non-uniform deformation, which may subsequently impact the accuracy of the measured mechanical properties. This study presents an experimental and numerical investigation of the temperature fields in 2017-T4 aluminum alloy specimens prior to Gleeble compression tests at temperatures ranging from 300 °C to 500 °C utilizing uniform temperature distribution (ISO-T) tungsten carbide anvils. The use of multiple thermocouples, welded to both the specimen and anvils, offers valuable insights into the temperature gradients and their evolutions. A coupled thermal–electrical finite-element model was developed in Abaqus for the purpose of simulating the resistive heating process. A user amplitude subroutine (UAMP) is implemented to regulate the heating based on a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) algorithm that modulates the current density to follow the specified temperature profile. The numerical results demonstrate that the temperature gradients within the specimen at the end of the heating process, reaching a temperature of 400 °C, are minimal, with values below 1.9 °C. This is in accordance with the experimental observations. The addition of graphite foils between the specimen and anvils has been shown to effectively reduce the gradients. The use of the measured anvil temperature as a boundary condition, rather than a constant value of 20 °C, has been demonstrated to improve the agreement between the simulated and experimental cooling curves. The modeling approach provides a framework for quantifying temperature gradients in Gleeble compression specimens and for assessing their impact on the measured constitutive response of materials at elevated temperatures.

Substantial agricultural waste, including winter jujube residues, pits, and sawdust, is generated during the planting and processing of winter jujubes. To recycle these wastes, they were used to cultivate Stropharia rugosoannulata. The nutrient composition, mineral elements, 179 pesticide residues, and heavy metals in the wastes and S. rugosoannulata were tested. Cultivating the liquid spawn of S. rugosoannulata with 40 g/L winter jujube residue as a substitute for glucose significantly increased the mycelial pellets’ biomass by 136%, resulting in more uniform pellets. Secondary strains of S. rugosoannulata were cultured using winter jujube pits, showing no significant difference in mycelial growth rate and vigor compared to the control (CK) across additive levels of 10–30%. The fruit bodies of S. rugosoannulata cultivated with winter jujube sawdust exhibited no detectable pesticide residues and a lower heavy metal content than the allowable limits, with a protein content of 36.7 g/100 g. Additionally, the mineral element potassium surpassed sodium by over 200 times, rendering it a potassium-rich, low-sodium food source. Utilizing winter jujube wastes for S. rugosoannulata cultivation effectively repurposed these wastes through sustainable recycling. This approach not only reduces cultivation costs but also yields safe and nutritious edible fungal products.

This work aimed to evaluate the effect of light and shading on yerba mate's ecophysiology and antioxidant potential. To this end, an experiment was carried out in an entirely randomized design, with three treatments, being cultivated in full sun (Ts), in agroforestry (Ta), and in native forest (Tm). Photosynthesis activity and chlorophyll, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins , and antioxidant activity were analyzed to determine the best cultivation environment that influences the ecophysiology and antioxidant potential of Yerba mate. Ts environment yielded higher concentrations of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins. Shaded environments showed greater antioxidant activity. Chlorophyll and photosynthesis indices differed in shaded environments, with Tm having higher concentration and photosynthetic activity and Ta having lower concentration and photosynthetic activity. The results show that PAR positively influenced the biochemical parameters. Shading was more efficient for antioxidant activity, and agroforestry contributed to greater antioxidant activity. The highest concentrations of chlorophyll and highest photosynthetic activity were found in yerba mate in native forests.
Multisegment Overlap–Save Method for Coherent Dedispersion

Abstract
Dispersion occurs due to the interstellar medium, which functions as a prism and causes different time delays in radio waves of varying frequencies. The coherent dedispersion technique is often used in pulsar and fast radio burst observations to mitigate this phenomenon. The widely recognized Overlap–Save approach enables this dedispersion algorithm to efficiently perform long linear convolution. However, with the present implementation, the necessary filter length for dedispersion can reach 100 million points or more. The corresponding fast Fourier transform (FFT) points should be larger than this value and a GPU cluster can be used to tackle this demanding process. This study presents the Multisegment Overlap–Save Method (MS-OSM) to effectively address this problem. Our algorithm divides signal bands into separate short segments based on frequency component delays during dedispersion. By using the short segments shuffling technique with the Overlap-Save structure, MS-OSM can greatly reduce the FFT and inverse FFT points required down to fewer than 65,536 points. To evaluate the performance of MS-OSM, a synthetic pulsar signal is created and verified using standard software tools like DSPSR and PRESTO. The results show that MS-OSM maintains the same resolution while reducing execution time and resource usage. The validation of MS-OSM is taken by processing real pulsar observation data.

Abstract
Neutron-induced nuclear reactions play an important role in the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Their excitation functions are, from an experimental point of view, usually difficult to measure. Nevertheless, in the last decades, big efforts have led to a better understanding of their role in the primordial nucleosynthesis network. In this work, we apply the Trojan Horse Method to extract the cross section at astrophysical energies for the 3He(n,p)3H reaction after a detailed study of the 2H(3He,pt)H three-body process. Data extracted from the present measurement are compared with other published sets. The reaction rate is also calculated, and the impact on the Big Bang nucleosynthesis is examined in detail.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
The impact of viscosity in the intracluster medium (ICM) is still an open question in astrophysics. To address this problem, we have run a set of cosmological simulations of three galaxy clusters with a mass larger than M
Vir > 1015
M
⊙ at z = 0 using the smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics-code OpenGadget3. We aim to quantify the influence of viscosity and constrain its value in the ICM. Our results show significant morphological differences at small scales, temperature variations, and density fluctuations induced by viscosity. We observe a suppression of instabilities at small scales, resulting in a more filamentary structure and a larger amount of small structures due to the lack of mixing with the medium. The conversion of kinetic to internal energy leads to an increase of the virial temperature of the cluster of ∼5%–10%, while the denser regions remain cold. The amplitude of density and velocity fluctuations are found to increase with viscosity. However, comparison with observational data indicates that the simulations, regardless of the viscosity, match the observed slope of the amplitude of density fluctuations, challenging the direct constraint of viscosity solely through density fluctuations. Furthermore, the ratio of density to velocity fluctuations remains close to 1 regardless of the amount of viscosity, in agreement with the theoretical expectations. Our results show for the first time in a cosmological simulation of a galaxy cluster the effect of viscosity in the ICM, a study that is currently missing in the literature.

Abstract
M-type stars are the most common stars in the Universe. They are ideal hosts for the search of exoplanets in the habitable zone (HZ), as their small size and low temperature make the HZ much closer-in than their solar twins. Harboring very deep convective layers, they also usually exhibit very intense magnetic fields. Understanding their environment, in particular their coronal and wind properties, is thus very important, as they might be very different from what is observed in the solar system. The mass-loss rate of M-type stars is poorly known observationally, and recent attempts to estimate it for some of them (e.g., TRAPPIST-1 and Proxima Centauri) can vary by an order of magnitude. In this work, we revisit the stellar wind properties of M dwarfs in the light of the latest estimates of

M

through Lyα absorption at the astropause and slingshot prominences. We outline a modeling strategy to estimate the mass-loss rate, radiative loss, and wind speed, with uncertainties, based on an Alfvén-wave-driven stellar wind model. We find that it is very likely that several TRAPPIST-1 planets lie within the Alfvén surface, which implies that these planets experience star–planet magnetic interactions (SPMIs). We also find that SPMIs between Proxima Cen b and its host star could be the reason for recently observed radio emissions.
