Abstract
Cervical cancer, closely linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, is a major global health concern. Our study aims to fill the gap in understanding HPV vaccine awareness and acceptance in the Middle East, where national immunization programs are often lacking and cultural perceptions hinder acceptance. This systematic review and meta-analysis adhered to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A comprehensive literature search across several databases was conducted on 5 September 2023. We included quantitative studies on HPV vaccine awareness and acceptance in Middle Eastern countries. Data extraction and quality assessment were conducted independently by multiple reviewers to ensure accuracy. Statistical analyses, including subgroup analyses, were performed using R to calculate pooled estimates, assess heterogeneity, and publication bias. We reviewed 159 articles from 15 Middle Eastern countries, focusing on 93,730 participants, predominantly female and healthcare workers. HPV vaccine awareness was found to be 41.7% (95% CI 37.4%–46.1%), with higher awareness among healthcare workers. The pooled acceptance rate was 45.6% (95% CI 41.3%–50.1%), with similar rates between healthcare and non-healthcare workers. Our study highlights the critical need for increased HPV vaccine awareness and acceptance in the Middle East, emphasizing the importance of integrating the vaccine into national immunization programs and addressing cultural and religious factors to improve public health outcomes.

Abstract
We examined how relative language dominance impacts Spanish–English bilinguals’ crosslinguistic and nonlinguistic interference resolution abilities during a web-based Spanish picture-word interference naming task and a subsequent spatial Stroop paradigm, and the relationship between the two. Results show the expected interference and facilitation effects in the online setting across both tasks. Additionally, participants with greater English dominance had larger within-language, Spanish facilitation and marginally larger crosslinguistic (English to Spanish) interference effects reflected on accuracy performance. Similarly, participants with greater English dominance had larger nonlinguistic congruency facilitation effects. Our results are in line with other studies finding a relation between linguistic and nonlinguistic cognitive control. Correlated reaction time performance between the linguistic and nonlinguistic paradigms suggests that overcoming crosslinguistic interference may be partly based on cognitive control processes used outside of language. Modulations by language dominance underline the importance of accounting for relative language proficiency in bilinguals’ two languages when studying bilingualism.
Reading Chinese but with Korean in mind: ERP evidence for nonselective lexical access in sentence reading
Authors: Xue Jinyi , Chien Yu-Fu , Xu Kunyu 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Previous studies have investigated whether lexical access in sentence reading is language-selective using interlingual homographs, but have yielded inconsistent results. In this study, event-related potentials were measured when Korean-Chinese bilinguals read the Chinese version of false-cognates (e.g., “放学”, after school) in Chinese sentence contexts that biased the meaning towards the Korean version (e.g., “방학”, school vacation). With the match words as the baseline, Chinese monolinguals elicited similar N400 and P600/LPC effects when reading the false-cognates and mismatch words, whereas Korean-Chinese bilinguals produced a smaller N400 effect for false-cognates than for mismatch words, indicating activation of the Korean version. The P600/LPC effect was observed for false-cognates in bilinguals, reflecting increased integration difficulties or enhanced cognitive control. The study supported the nonselective view and proposed a theoretical extension of the BIA+ model, claiming that bilingual interactive activation might be mediated by shared morphemic representations between languages.

Abstract
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) and native bee species have ecological, economic, social, and cultural importance to smallholder coffee farmers. While the ecological contributions of bees to the sustainability of coffee systems are well documented, particularly in relation to the coffee crop, fewer studies have examined socio-economic dimensions of beekeeping for honey as an agroecological diversification strategy for coffee producers. Yet, understanding the multiple values of different diversification strategies is important as many coffee farmers in different parts of the world are finding it increasingly difficult to make a living on coffee alone and are adopting alternative strategies, such as on-farm diversification. In this Participatory Action Research (PAR) study, we examined the opportunities, limitations, and trade-offs of beekeeping (with A. mellifera) as an agroecological diversification option for smallholder coffee farmers in Chiapas, Mexico. We applied a mixed-methods approach, which consisted of monthly surveys with 25 beekeepers of Campesinos Ecológicos de la Sierra Madre de Chiapas (CESMACH)/Apicultores Miel Real del Triunfo (ART) producer cooperatives for 12 months and five focus groups between 2018 and 2019. We found that beekeeping is less labor-intensive than coffee, and there are opportunities to integrate beekeeping into the annual farming cycle of coffee and maize production without causing competing labor demands or additional time pressures. We also found that beekeeping could generate economic gains for peasant families; however, profitability hinged on various factors, such as the price for honey, yield per hive, and the number of beehives. Our results further show that beekeeping yielded multiple non-monetary benefits by contributing to the nutrition and health of farmer families and their communities, serving as a vehicle for horizontal learning and relationship building, and contributing to the emotional well-being of beekeepers. Finally, producers who hoped to gain economically from beekeeping were generally interested in growing their apiaries but expressed concerns about limited technical knowledge and the impacts of climate change. Given the multiple social, economic, and ecological benefits of beekeeping, it has great promise as a part of agroecological food and farming systems. We argue that efforts to promote beekeeping as a diversification strategy should take a holistic approach, underscoring the potential of apiculture to enhance the well-being and resilience of beekeeping families and strengthen food sovereignty and local economies (including solidarity economies) in peasant communities. These findings can be useful in supporting beekeepers and their organizations in strategic planning for enhancing the long-term sustainability of beekeeping.
Reflective and quasi-reflectionless multiband bandpass filters using multi-resonant acoustic-wave lumped-element resonators
Authors: Nasser Mohammed R. A. , Psychogiou Dimitra 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator-based compact multi-band bandpass filters (BPFs) with quasi-elliptic transfer functions (TF) and reconfigurable reflective or quasi-reflectionless characteristics are reported. They utilize bandpass-type multi-resonant acoustic wave lumped resonator (AWLR) stages, shaped by multiple in-parallel cascaded distinct SAW resonators and one lumped-element (LE) inductor. By incorporating resistively-terminated bandstop-type AWLR stages at the Radio Frequency (RF) input/output, their power reflection response can be tailored to be quasi-reflectionless. The multi-band BPF can be expanded to TF with: i) a high number of passbands by increasing the number of the acoustic wave resonators (AWRs) in the AWLR stages, and ii) higher selectivity by cascading bandpass-type AWLRs stages using impedance inverters, and iii) symmetric quasi-reflectionless characteristics. For N in-series cascaded stages, each comprising K distinct AWRs, K passbands with enhanced fractional bandwidth (FBW) can be created, with overall TF having N•(K) poles and N•(K+1) transmission zeros (TZs). The operating principles of the multi-band BPF concept are provided through detailed design examples. The concept is demonstrated through detailed design examples, with three multi-band BPF prototypes manufactured and characterized, exhibiting dual-/triple-band centered between 1029.8 and 1039.9 MHz, FBWs> 0.4kt2, and effective Q-factors> 5,000. The quasi-reflectionless prototype showed a maximum reflection of -11.5 dB.

Medikamentöse Absetzstrategien in der Kinderrheumatologie
Authors: Minden Kirsten 
Published: December 2024

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDie Prognose der juvenilen idiopathischen Arthritis (JIA) hat sich durch die Anwendung neuer Therapiestrategien und moderner Antirheumatika erheblich verbessert. Viele Patienten erreichen heute eine langanhaltende Remission, was die Frage nach einem möglichen Absetzen der Therapie aufwirft. In der klinischen Praxis variiert das Vorgehen beim Absetzen von krankheitsmodifizierenden Antirheumatika erheblich. Dabei spielen Faktoren wie die spezifische Form der JIA, das initiale Therapieansprechen, das Vorhandensein von Krankheitsschäden sowie die Präferenzen von Patienten und Familien eine Rolle. Dieser Übersichtsbeitrag stellt die aktuelle Evidenz zur Therapiedeeskalation bei der JIA vor. Es werden relevante Studien und Prädiktoren für ein erfolgreiches Absetzen der Therapie diskutiert. Zudem werden Strategien zur Erreichung einer medikamentenfreien Remission erörtert, einschließlich der potenziellen Rolle von Biomarkern und bildgebenden Verfahren. Basierend auf den vorhandenen, wenngleich noch begrenzten, Erkenntnissen werden Hinweise für den klinischen Alltag formuliert.
Stimmt es eigentlich, dass subkutanes Methotrexat der oralen Gabe hinsichtlich Wirksamkeit und Verträglichkeit bei der Behandlung der JIA überlegen ist?
Authors: Raab Anna , Dressler Frank , Klein Ariane 
Published: December 2024

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGMethotrexat (MTX) ist das am meisten verschriebene konventionelle Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drug (DMARD). In zahlreichen internationalen Leitlinien für die polyartikuläre juvenile idiopathische Arthritis (pJIA) ist MTX als Erstlinientherapie als Basismedikament empfohlen, trotzdem mangelt es an Konsensus-basierten Empfehlungen zur Verabreichungsform. Diese ist nicht standardisiert und abhängig von der Präferenz des behandelnden Rheumatologen [1, 2]. Insgesamt gibt es nur wenige Publikationen zur Evidenz bzgl. der Applikationsweise von MTX bei der JIA. Die Ergebnisse sind sehr variabel und widersprüchlich, wahrscheinlich bedingt durch sehr unterschiedliche Studiendesigns (retrospektive Registeranalysen, prospektive Beobachtung, prospektive Behandlungsstudie) und überwiegend sehr geringe Fallzahlen [3]. In den letzten Jahren wurden einige größere Studien durchgeführt zum Vergleich der Wirksamkeit von oralem zu subkutanem (s. c.) MTX, jedoch ausschließlich bei Patienten mit rheumatoider Arthritis (RA). In einem kürzlich veröffentlichten Update der aktuellen Literatur zeigt sich keine eindeutige Evidenz, dass die s. c.-Gabe der oralen überlegen ist [4].
L3 acquisition of Portuguese clefts by L1-Mandarin
L2-English speakers

Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study explored the trajectory of
L3
acquisition (L3A) of three structurally
different clefts in European
Portuguese (EP) by L1-Mandarin
Chinese (MC) L2-English
learners, within the framework of the Feature Reassembly
Hypothesis (Lardiere, 2008, 2009). This study also considers
the predictions of L3A models that differ with respect to
the role of the previously acquired languages on the
acquisition of a target L3. Regarding the analyzed
structures, L1 factor models (e.g., Na Ranong & Leung, 2009) would
predict an early acquisition of pseudoclefts,
and a delay in acquiring é-que
clefts and standard
clefts. Models such as the Cumulative-Enhancement
Model (Flynn et al., 2004), the Typological Primacy
Model (Rothman, 2011), the Scalpel Model
(Slabakova,
2017) and the Linguistic Proximity
Model (Westergaard et al., 2017) would predict a
facilitating L2 effect on the acquisition of standard
clefts and pseudoclefts. 60 MC speakers across three proficiency levels
and 21 EP speakers completed an acceptability judgment
task (AJT) centered on EP clefts. The learners
also performed an AJT of English clefts
at a later time. The results suggested a scale of difficulty
(standard cleft > pseudocleft
> é-que cleft) in
development up to advanced stages. The syntactic structure
of standard clefts, essentially the left peripheral focus,
could be mapped from the L2 onto the L3 lexical items before
L3ers reach low-intermediate (B1),1 while the association of a [+
focus] feature on specific L3 items appears to cause
difficulty in acquiring é-que
clefts until the learners reach a more advanced
(C1)2 level. The
results supported a facilitating L2 effect on the
acquisition of standard clefts, which contradicts
predictions that would be made by L1 factor models.
The Evolution of Concrete Expansion Deformation under Wet-Dry Cycles and Composite Salt Corrosion

Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study investigates the expansion and deformation characteristics of concrete with varying strengths under the conditions of aqueous solution, wet-dry cycles, and complex salt corrosion environments. The experimental results indicate that under the action of wet-dry cycles, the expansion rate of C30 and C50 concrete specimens in the aqueous solution increases with time, but the overall degree of deformation is relatively small. Due to its higher water-cement ratio, the expansion rate of C30 concrete is generally greater than that of C50 concrete. In a 3% sodium sulfate solution, the expansion rate of C50 concrete is lower than that of C30, which is related to its lower water-binder ratio and denser microstructure. In a 5% sodium sulfate solution, the expansion rate of C30 concrete is significantly higher than that of C50, demonstrating a faster rate of expansion. In the environment of mixed sodium sulfate and sodium chloride solution, the presence of chloride ions effectively mitigates sulfate erosion, reducing the expansion rate. Furthermore, with the increase in sulfate concentration, the expansion and deformation of concrete increase. The expansion and deformation of C50 concrete in sodium sulfate solution are less than that of C30, which is related to its higher tensile strength. The research provides a scientific basis for the durability assessment and protection of concrete structures in sulfate erosion environments.

Abstract
With the increasing incidence of bird damage affecting the reliability of transmission lines, addressing bird pest control has become an important task for the operation and maintenance of transmission lines. A viable solution involves the application of spray coating polyurea elastomer composite materials to insulate exposed conductive points and weakly insulated connection parts of transmission line towers. To improve the comprehensive performance of polyurea elastomers, in this study, the curing system of polyurea elastomers was modified by incorporating Al2O3, SiO2, and BN nanoparticles. An orthogonal experiment was designed to study the influence of different fillers on the comprehensive performance of polyurea elastomers. These nanoparticles partially filled the defects inherent in the polyurea elastomers and microparticles, improving the Alternating Current (AC) breakdown strength of the polyurea elastomer. Compared with filler-free polyurea elastomers, optimal performance of the polyurea elastomer was achieved when using 5 wt% Al2O3, 0.4 wt% SiO2, and 5 wt% BN, resulting in a 15.75% increase in the AC breakdown strength and a 10.00% enhancement in the thermal conductivity.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Pollutant emissions from gas-fired equipment are determined by the combustion parameters and the design of the units and burners. In addition to the design, NOX and CO emissions significantly depend on environmental parameters, including air temperature. The article examines the features of pollutant formation processes during operation of gas turbine units of various designs and configurations: both stationary units such as the GTK-10M designed for main gas transportation and converted marine engines DR-59L used as a drive for gas pumping units at subzero outside air temperatures. The operation of hot water boilers as part of a gas heating unit was also investigated. The studies were conducted to develop mathematical models of pollutant formation to create a continuous calculation control system that will allow for high-precision determination and prediction of limit values for NOX and CO emissions and minimize the impact of emissions on the environment.

Abstract
The possibilities of the three-wave pulsed lidar for monitoring the lower tier of forest vegetation have been studied. The simulation analysis results of the lower tier forest vegetation groups identification on a neural net using measured vegetation spectral reflectance for different wavelengths of the three-wave lidar are presented. It is shown that the best options are lidars with wavelengths 532, 1064, 1570 nm and 532, 1064, 2030 nm. The three-wavelength lidar with these wavelengths allows the identification of five lower tier forest vegetation groups (undergrowth of deciduous trees; undergrowth of coniferous trees; areas of swamps, mosses and shrubby plants; soils with different percentages of vegetation coverage; areas of dry forest, soils without vegetation, lichens, burnt areas) with a probability of correct identification over 0.8 and a probability of incorrect identification under 0.08 (for a relative RMS noise values of 1%).
