Factors enhancing residential satisfaction of foreign residents toward settlement: A case study of toshima city, tokyo, japan
Authors: Lim Hwajin , Niwa Yukari , Sunaga Ayaka 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In recent years, the number of foreign residents in global cities has increased rapidly, and they have become an important demographic for housing development. On the other hand, research on the living environment of foreign residents has not been comprehensive as it should be. There has also been little consideration of how to create a living environment that takes into account the residential satisfaction of foreign residents. This study aimed to investigate the types of environments and support that can enhance residential satisfaction (RS) for foreign residents in Japan. Accordingly, a questionnaire survey was conducted in Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan. In this research, five factors that enhance RS were examined using structural equation modeling: “intercultural and language support” as the initial factor, two factors of public livelihood support (“childcare support” and “procedural support”), and two factors of residential environments (“social association” and “housing environment”). We further examined whether the RS differed depending on the length of residence. We found that intercultural communication support was effective in directly increasing the RS of foreign residents living in Japan and that the residential environment, including social association and housing environment, increased RS with intercultural and language support as a starting point. However, childcare and procedural support were not statistically significant. These factors and the empirical model differ depending on the number of years of settlement in Japan. Additionally, the residential environment, including social association and housing environment, indirectly increased RS with intercultural communication support as the starting point in the case of residents who lived for over 5 years there. However, only social association contributed to increased RS among residents who lived there for less than 5 years. Finally, we derived policy recommendations based on the findings of short-term stay and medium- to long-term settlement.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
The composition of coexisting phases for liquid-liquid and solid-liquid-liquid equilibria were measured at 298.2 and 313.2 K and under atmospheric pressure for the following systems: {sodium bromide + formamide + ethyl acetate}, {sodium thiocyanate + ethanol + (R)-limonene}, and {sodium thiocyanate + methanol + dibutyl ether}. These concentrations were determined mainly by chromatography and, for the first system, with the help of argentometric titration. The standard uncertainties in mole fractions varied between 0.001 and 0.008. The tie-line data were reproduced by the NRTL model with medium accuracy. Several empirical equations were used and tested to correlate binodal curves. The rational form of the equation, based on the liquid–liquid–solid tie-line, turned out to be the most adequate.
Bad Local Minima Exist in the Stochastic Block Model

Published: November 2024

AbstractWe study the disassortative stochastic block model with three communities, a well-studied model of graph partitioning and Bayesian inference for which detailed predictions based on the cavity method exist (Decelle et al. in Phys Rev E 84:066106, 2011). We provide strong evidence that for a part of the phase where efficient algorithms exist that approximately reconstruct the communities, inference based on maximum a posteriori (MAP) fails. In other words, we show that there exist modes of the posterior distribution that have a vanishing agreement with the ground truth. The proof is based on the analysis of a graph colouring algorithm from Achlioptas and Moore (J Comput Syst Sci 67:441–471, 2003).
From deterministic to stochastic: limits of extracting bifurcation diagrams for noisy bistable oscillators with the control-based continuation method
Authors: Sykora Henrik T. , Beregi Sandor 
Published: November 2024

AbstractNoise limits the information that can be experimentally extracted from dynamical systems. In this study, we review the Control-based Continuation (CBC) approach, which is commonly used for experimental characterisation of nonlinear systems with coexisting stable and unstable steady states. The CBC technique, however, uses a deterministic framework, whereas in practice, almost all measurements are subject to some level of random perturbation, and the underlying dynamical system is inherently noisy. In order to discover what the CBC is capable of extracting from inherently noisy experiments, we study the Hopf normal form with quintic terms with additive noise. The bifurcation diagram of the deterministic core of this system is well-known, therefore the discrepancies introduced by noise can be easily assessed. First, we utilise the Step-Matrix Multiplication based Path Integral (SMM-PI) method to approximate the system’s steady state probability density function (PDF) for different intensity noise perturbations. We associate the local extrema of the resulting PDFs with limit cycles, and compare the resulting bifurcation diagram to those captured by CBC. We show that CBC estimates the bifurcation diagram of the noisy system well for noise intensities varying from small to moderate, and in practice, the amplitudes provided by CBC may be accepted as a ’best guess’ proxy for the vibration amplitudes characteristic to the near periodic solutions in a wide range of experiments.
Revisiting Emotions in Pastoral Care and Counseling: A Scoping Review
Authors: Tjernæs Randi Synnøve , Ringnes H. K. , Stålsett G. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe aims of this scoping review were to generate an overview of the existing literature on the role emotions play in pastoral care, to determine what research has been done, and to consider how this knowledge is being applied in pastoral care and counseling. Four databases (Atla Religion Database [Atla RDB], Medline Ovid, PsycINFO Ovid, and Education Resources Information Center [ERIC]) were researched for studies exploring emotions in pastoral care and counseling. Forty-six empirical studies published over a period of 10 years (2010–2021) were included in the scoping review. The authors read and analyzed the articles with a focus on how individuals experience emotions and on how the articles addressed emotions in their studies. Based upon the results of thematic analysis, we identified five themes: (1) aiming for a new PCC praxis, (2) the two main types of pastoral care, (3) a focus on basic emotions, (4) changing emotions in pastoral care, and (5) the development of creative methodologies to approach emotions within PCC. To date, there has been little research in this field regarding connecting conceptualizations and strategies to address emotions in the context of pastoral care. This scoping review addresses this issue and highlights the need for future studies and practical applications.

Published: November 2024

Abstract Maintaining personal wellbeing is essential for an effective pandemic response due to its multifaceted impacts on various aspects of society. This study aimed to evaluate personal wellbeing during pandemic response and investigate the effects of built environment in neighborhoods, risk communication, and health indicators. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted. A sample with 5458 participants was collected in Hong Kong through a self-administered online survey. Personal Wellbeing Index- Adult (PWI-A) was adopted to measure personal wellbeing. This study indicated a more than 20% decrease in personal wellbeing among Hong Kong residents during the pandemic, particularly impacting future security, personal safety, and living standards. Positive influences on wellbeing included more open spaces, using more traditional information channels, seeking reliable media sources, and confidence in information seeking. Conversely, wellbeing was negatively affected by a higher percentage of public residential areas, using more new information channels, increased social media time, smoking habits and chronic health conditions. These findings provide critical insights into the diverse impacts of the pandemic on individuals and communities. They guide targeted interventions and contribute to building resilience against future crises.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background
The US faces a maternal health crisis and struggles to deliver recommended postpartum care. In some populations, less than half of mothers attend a postpartum visit.

Objective
To determine if a two-generation (Two-Gen) model of interdisciplinary, postpartum primary care was associated with increased visit attendance for postpartum care, primary care, and behavioral health.

Design
Retrospective study of care delivered at a single, urban, academic, safety-net medical center between 2020 and 2023.

Participants
Mothers who received postpartum care in Two-Gen and a comparison group who received usual postpartum care.

Main Measures
Adjusted logistic regression to estimate the effect of Two-Gen participation on the odds of attending an early (birth-to-3 weeks) postpartum visit, later (4-to-12 weeks) postpartum visit, OB/GYN visit, and primary care visit.

Key Results
A total of 247 mothers (98 Two-Gen and 149 usual care) were included for analysis. Most identified as Non-Hispanic Black (55%) or Hispanic (34%) and had Medicaid insurance (74%). On average, Two-Gen mothers were younger and more likely to be primiparous. Compared to usual care, Two-Gen mothers had similar rates of early postpartum visits (79% vs 64%; adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.70; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.92–3.14) and were significantly more likely to have a later postpartum visit (92% vs 79%; aOR 2.46; 95%CI 1.06–5.74) in adjusted analyses. Almost all Two-Gen mothers (97%) had a visit with a primary care doctor in the first postpartum year, compared to 19% of mothers receiving usual care (aOR 12.95; 95%CI 6.80–24.68). Of those with behavioral health diagnoses, Two-Gen mothers had higher rates of psychiatrist visits than usual care mothers (49% vs 13%; p = 0.001).

Conclusions
Two-Gen clinic participation was associated with high rates of timely postpartum care in a group of predominantly young, publicly insured, racial, and ethnic minority mothers and compared favorably to usual care across multiple metrics, notably utilization of primary and behavioral health care.
The impact of wildfire smoke exposure on excess mortality and later-life socioeconomic outcomes: the Great Fire of 1910
Authors: Meier Sarah , Strobl Eric , Elliott Robert J. R. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe Great Fire of 1910 in the northwestern United States burnt more than 1.2 million hectares in just two days and stands as one of the largest wildfires ever recorded. While it is known for having led to the introduction of a rigorous fire suppression regime that lasted for much of the twentieth century, it also generated a considerable amount of smoke far beyond the burnt areas that is likely to have impacted the health of those exposed. This paper examines the short- and long-term impact of this fire-sourced smoke pollution on children, combining historical data with smoke emission and dispersion modelling. The econometric results indicate a 119% increase in excess mortality during the week of the fire and a decrease of 4–14% in later-life socioeconomic status scores 20 and 30 years after the event. This research offers novel insights into wildfire smoke repercussions on health and long-run human capital formation in a setting where avoidance behaviour was minimal.

Published: November 2024

AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in surgery, particularly in telesurgery and telementoring. However, its potential to enhance data transmission efficiency and reliability in these fields remains unclear. While previous reviews have explored the general applications of telesurgery and telementoring in specific surgical contexts, this review uniquely focuses on AI models designed to optimise data transmission and mitigate delays. We conducted a comprehensive literature search on PubMed and IEEE Xplore for studies published in English between 2010 and 2023, focusing on AI-driven, surgery-related, telemedicine, and delay-related research. This review includes methodologies from journals, conferences, and symposiums. Our analysis identified a total of twelve AI studies that focus on optimising network resources, enhancing edge computing, and developing delay-robust predictive applications. Specifically, three studies addressed wireless network resource optimisation, two proposed low-latency control and transfer learning algorithms for edge computing, and seven developed delay-robust applications, five of which focused on motion data, with the remaining two addressing visual and haptic data. These advancements lay the foundation for a truly holistic and context-aware telesurgical experience, significantly transforming remote surgical practice and education. By mapping the current role of AI in addressing delay-related challenges, this review highlights the pressing need for collaborative research to drive the evolution of telesurgery and telementoring in modern robotic surgery.
Multi-octave two-color soliton frequency comb in integrated chalcogenide microresonators

Published: November 2024

AbstractMid-infrared (MIR) Kerr microcombs are of significant interest for portable dual-comb spectroscopy and precision molecular sensing due to strong molecular vibrational absorption in the MIR band. However, achieving a compact, octave-spanning MIR Kerr microcomb remains a challenge due to the lack of suitable MIR photonic materials for the core and cladding of integrated devices and appropriate MIR continuous-wave (CW) pump lasers. Here, we propose a novel slot concentric dual-ring (SCDR) microresonator based on an integrated chalcogenide glass chip, which offers excellent transmission performance and flexible dispersion engineering in the MIR band. This device achieves both phase-matching and group velocity matching in two separated anomalous dispersion regions, enabling phase-locked, two-color solitons in the MIR region with a commercial 2-μm CW laser as the pump source. Moreover, the spectral locking of the two-color soliton enhances pump wavelength selectivity, providing precise control over soliton dynamics. By leveraging the dispersion characteristics of the SCDR microresonator, we have demonstrated a multi-octave-spanning, two-color soliton microcomb, covering a spectral range from 1156.07 to 5054.95 nm (200 THz) at a −40 dB level, highlighting the versatility and broad applicability of our approach. And the proposed multi-octave MIR frequency comb is relevant for applications such as dual-comb spectroscopy and trace-gas sensing.

Abstract
The common iliac arteries (CIA) are the main finals branches of the abdominal aorta. The aim of the present meta-analysis was to demonstrate the most up-to-date and evidence-based data regarding the general anatomy of the CIAs, including their length, take-off angles, and diameters. PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched to find all studies considering the anatomy of the CIA. Eligibility assessment and data extraction stages were performed. The results of the measurements in a total of 5785 patients were evaluated and included in the statistical analysis. The prevalence of the origin variations of the CIA has been evaluated. CIA was found to most commonly originate at the level of L4 vertebrae with a pooled prevalence of 59.49% (95% CI 48.00–70.50%). The overall mean length of the CIA was 5.59 mm (SE: 0.13), and the mean diameter of the CIA was 10.52 mm (SE: 0.85). The knowledge of the anatomy and variations of the CIA is crucial in lumbar spine surgery, especially when performing the anterolateral approach to L4 and L5 vertebrae. Furthermore, the level of the aortic bifurcation has significant implications related to vascular surgery in this region. We performed the present meta-analysis to standardize the extensive information on the anatomy of the CIAs.
Lipodystrophiesyndrome – klinische Präsentation und Management
Authors: Beghini Marianna , Scherer Thomas 
Published: November 2024

ZusammenfassungLipodystrophien umfassen eine heterogene Gruppe seltener Erkrankungen, die durch einen vollständigen oder partiellen Verlust von Fettgewebe gekennzeichnet sind. Die meisten Formen sind genetisch bedingt, und dazu zählen die kongenitale generalisierte Lipodystrophie (CGL) und die familiäre partielle Lipodystrophie (FPLD).Lipodystrophien sind oft mit schwerer Insulinresistenz, Diabetes mellitus Typ 2, Hypertriglyzeridämie, metabolischer Dysfunktion-assoziierter Fettlebererkrankung (MASLD) und erhöhtem kardiovaskulärem Risiko verbunden, was zu einer erhöhten Morbidität und Mortalität führt. Die klinische Präsentation variiert je nach Form der Lipodystrophie, mit häufigen metabolischen Komplikationen wie Fettlebererkrankung bzw. Fibrose/Zirrhose, Pankreatitis, schwer einstellbarem Diabetes mellitus Typ 2 und kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen bzw. frühzeitigen Ereignissen wie Herzinfarkt und Schlaganfall.Die Diagnose wird klinisch gestellt und basiert auf Anamnese, körperlicher Untersuchung und laborchemischen Untersuchungen, ergänzt durch bildgebende Verfahren zur Quantifizierung des Fettmangels. Gentests können hilfreich sein, negative Ergebnisse schließen aber eine Lipodystrophie prinzipiell nicht aus.Die Behandlung umfasst Lebensstilmodifikationen und die Therapie der Begleiterkrankungen, insbesondere des Diabetes bzw. der Dyslipidämie. Zusätzlich kann das humane rekombinante Leptin-Analogon Metreleptin für die Behandlung der generalisierten Lipodystrophie und in ausgewählten Fällen auch für partielle Lipodystrophie eingesetzt werden. Eine multidisziplinäre Betreuung in spezialisierten Zentren ist aufgrund der Komplexität und Vielfalt der möglichen Komplikationen entscheidend.
Education for sustainable development in China: experiences from school teachers’ perspectives and enactments
Authors: Zhou Ronghui 
Published: November 2024

AbstractGiven the rapid development of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in the global north and south, the status of ESD in Chinese primary education remains underexplored. Teachers, who play a critical role as education stakeholders in enacting and spreading the influences of ESD, have been largely overlooked in ESD research focusing on China. This paper therefore aimed to narrow this research gap and provide an empirical snapshot illustrating the progress of ESD through the eyes of Chinese primary school teachers. Drawing on an analysis of 151 questionnaires and 25 semi-structured interviews, the study finds that ESD is primarily interpreted as environmental education and often linked through the literal connections of 'sustainability', 'education', and 'development'. ESD is enacted mainly through school activities, policies, curricula, and extracurricular opportunities, though inconsistencies in implementation are evident. The findings provides empirical evidence of ESD in Chinese primary education and build foundations for further investigation into how ESD can be more effectively integrated and practiced within China’s educational system.
Innovative COF@MXene composites for high performance energy applications
Authors: Kuai Yanbing , Wang Yuhua 
Published: November 2024

AbstractAs a new type of composite two-dimensional material formed by the combination of Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) and two- dimensional (2D) MXenes, COF/MXene heterostructures (COF@MXene) inherit the stable porous two-dimensional structure of COFs and the excellent electrochemical performance and catalytic activity of MXenes, thus attracting widespread attention. Additionally, COF@MXene possesses various elemental affinity sites, efficient ion channels, and the ability to append various functional groups, which endow them with tremendous potential in electrochemical energy storage, energy conversion, and catalysis. Currently, there is a lack of extensive literature discussing the utilization of COF@MXene. The quest for enhanced physicochemical attributes through tailored modifications and composite strategies for COF@MXene is still a noteworthy hurdle. Furthermore, discovering novel application contexts that can harness the exceptional capabilities of these materials presents a formidable task. This review initiates with an exploration of the primary methodologies for synthesizing COF and MXene composites. Subsequently, it outlines the diverse applications of COF and MXene in energy storage, energy conversion, and environmental conservation. Lastly, it discusses the primary obstacles and future trajectories within these domains.

AbstractCitrus-flavored vegetable oils (CFVO) demand has grown rapidly in the food industry due to increasing consumer demand for salads as a healthy food choice. Salad dressing has a distinctive taste from sour-tasting citrus that when added to salads to increase acceptance. This study primarily aimed to characterize antioxidant activity, total flavonoid content, and sensory quality by hedonic and organoleptic test between all unflavored oil and CFVO from three different vegetable oils (coconut oil (Cocos nucifera L.), palm oil (Elaeis guineensis L.), sesame oil (Sesamum indicum L.)) and three citruses (key lime (Citrus aurantifolia), kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix), and nasnaran (Citrus ambylcarpa)). One-Way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey were conducted to assess antioxidant and flavonoid differences. ANOVA with Tukey HSD and HSD, PCA and HCA, and a Spearman correlation analysis were conducted to assess the sensory qualities of citrus-flavored vegetable oils. There were different hedonic responses towards citruses in addition to the vegetable oils for each hedonic attribute. There is also a different response to the antioxidant and total flavonoids content of each treatment. The best formula according the multi-attribute decision using a compensatory model and additive weighting technique (MADCAW) score describes key lime (140%) flavored coconut oil as the best formula as having 56.58% antioxidant, 37.00 mg QE/100 g flavonoid and color liking 1.84, aroma liking 3.56, and taste liking 1.88. In conclusion, citrus-flavored vegetable oil has the potential to be a high-antioxidant vegetable oil with good acceptance by consumers.
