IntroductionThe age at first birth refers to the age at which a woman has her first child. It can significantly influence the demographic behavior of women and the general community. Moreover, teenage childbearing is a serious public health and social problem. The main objective of this study was to identify factors associated with age at first birth among women in Ethiopia.MethodsSecondary data on women were obtained from the 2019 Ethiopia Mini Demographic and Health Survey (EMDHS). These population-based cross-sectional data were downloaded from the Measure Demographic and Health Survey website (http://www.measuredhs.com). The study included a random sample of 8,885 women aged 15–49 years from 305 enumeration areas. A multilevel survival analysis was employed to identify the factors associated with teenage childbearing among women in Ethiopia.ResultsThe majority (67.7%) of randomly sampled women were subjected to teenage childbearing. Women being rural dwellers [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.54]; women from middle-income families (HR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.18, 1.74); and women from higher-income families (HR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.15, 1.70) were associated with a higher risk of teenage childbearing. Conversely, contraception method users (HR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.77, 0.99), Muslims (HR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.64, 0.89), Orthodoxes (HR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.57, 0.80), women with secondary education (HR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.43, 0.65), women with higher education (HR = 0.28 (95% CI: 0.22, 0.37), and the higher age of household head (HR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.98, 0.99) were associated with a lower risk of teenage childbearing among women in Ethiopia.ConclusionSince the median age of women to have their first child was 18 years old, this study strongly suggests that stakeholders at the federal and regional levels must work closely toward enforcing the legal age of marriage and implementing national adolescents’ and youths’ targeted sexual and reproductive health programs.

IntroductionBacterial infection of the central nervous system (CNS) poses a clinical challenge and is a leading cause of neurological disorders in cattle. Human studies have demonstrated an increase in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) L-lactate levels in bacterial meningitis. The aims of this study were to establish a Reference Interval (RI) for L-lactate in bovine CSF and assess its potential as a biomarker for detecting infectious-inflammatory disorders.MethodsCSF L-lactate was measured in the field using a commercially available lactate monitor. The RI for CSF L-lactate was calculated on healthy animals; univariate and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were performed to disclose an association between CSF L-lactate levels and interpretation of CSF in sick animals.ResultsTwenty-seven healthy cattle and 86 sick cattle with either CNS infectious-inflammatory disorders (47/86) or CNS disorders of other etiology (39/86) were included in this prospective study. The RI for CSF L-lactate was 1.1–2.4 mmol/L. The concentration was higher in the cattle with neutrophilic pleocytosis and the area under the ROC curve was 0.92 compared to other animals. Based on a cut-off of 3.15 mmol/L, CSF L-lactate had diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for neutrophilic pleocytosis of 93 and 80%, respectively.DiscussionThis is the first study to determine a RI for CSF L-lactate in cattle. Elevated CSF L-lactate levels indicated neutrophilic pleocytosis, which is often manifested in acute bacterial infection. The present findings may aid in diagnosis and correct use of antimicrobial drugs.

Published: October 2024

The plant AT protein and zinc-binding protein (PLATZ) genes, a novel cluster of plant-specific zinc-finger-dependent DNA-binding proteins, play a crucial role in regulating stress response and plant development. However, there has been little study focus on the role of the cucumber PLATZ family in assimilating loading in leaves. (1) In this study, a total of 12 PLATZ genes were identified from the cucumber genome. The cucumber PLATZ genes were clustered into five groups, and unevenly distributed on five chromosomes. A single pair of cucumber PLATZ genes underwent segmental duplication. (2) The results of genome-wide expression analysis suggested that the cucumber PLATZ genes were widely expressed in a wide range of cucumber tissues, with three PLATZ (PLATZ2, PLATZ6, and PLATZ12) genes exhibiting high expression in the vascular tissues of cucumber leaves. PLATZ2, PLATZ6, and PLATZ12 proteins were primarily located in cytomembrane and nucleus. (3) In VIGS-PLATZ6 plants, the expression of Galactinol synthase 1 (GolS1) and STACHYOSE SYNTHASE (STS), two genes involved in the synthesis of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) were observed to be decreased in cucumber leaves. In conclusion, the comprehensive analysis of the cucumber PLATZ family and the preliminary functional verification of PLATZ6 lay the foundation for the molecular and physiological functions of cucumber PLATZ genes.

Published: October 2024

A criopreservação é uma técnica utilizada para o armazenamento de células espermáticas por tempo indeterminado, com resultados variáveis na literatura quanto à qualidade espermática após o procedimento. Este estudo é uma revisão integrativa que avaliou a eficiência de diferentes protocolos de criopreservação seminal. Foram analisados 56 artigos nas bases de dados Scielo, ScienceDirect e Pubmed e 16 validados para o estudo. A revisão revelou ampla diversidade metodológica do processo de criopreservação, resultando na variabilidade das taxas de recuperação da motilidade (12,4% a 52,5%) e vitalidade espermática (24,5% a 49,5%). Provavelmente influenciada por fatores como os métodos de processamento da amostra seminal utilizados, a diversidade da distância da amostra no vapor de nitrogênio líquido, o tipo de envase da amostra e uso de diluidores com diferentes crioprotetores. Conclui-se que a reprodutibilidade dos resultados é comprometida pela falta de padronização dos protocolos, deixando desta maneira a escolha dos métodos a critério dos profissionais envolvidos.

Authors: Bullee Jan-Willem , Koning Luka 
Published: October 2024

This research investigates the effectiveness of a cybersecurity escape room as an educational intervention to increase awareness of cybersecurity risks towards a safer work environment. The escape room aims to educate participants and cybersecurity and to make them more resilient against various cyberthreats. Method: To validate the effectiveness, a pre-test-post-test design with 96 participants was conducted, 42 also completing a delayed post-test and 29 participants served as a control group. All participants were healthcare professionals. Using the HAIS-Q, six themes were investigated (namely email usage, passwords, ransomware, social engineering, incident reporting, and software updates) using the three constructs from the Knowledge, Attitude and Behaviour model. Results: The escape room had an overall immediate positive effect on participants (t(95) = -6.259, p < 0.001), and this effect persisted after 1 month (t(25) = -2.946, p = .006). Zooming in on individual themes, the immediate scores improved for email usage, passwords, social engineering and software updates, whereas the delayed scores improved specifically for email usage and passwords. Conclusion: The results show that the cybersecurity escape room may be a promising way to enable employees to resist cybersecurity threats. Nonetheless, the results need to be interpreted with caution. The research design experienced some dropout, meaning that results could differ with increased participation. Furthermore, it is not entirely evident which aspects of the escape room caused the observed effect; this is subject to future research.

Se'i meat is a typical meat from East Nusa Tenggara which is made by smoking it. The meat is sliced ​​in small lengths, then smoked until cooked and has a distinctive taste. This study aims to determine the effect of rosella flour (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) to organoleptic (colour, aroma, taste and tenderness); pH; TPC and E. coli pork. The research method uses a Complete Randomized Design (RAL) consisting of 4 treatments and 4 repetitions. The treatment consisted of P0: pork se’i meat without the addition of rosella flour, P1: pork se’i meat with the addition of rosella flour 0.5%, P2: pork se’i meat with the addition of rosella flour 1%, P3: pork se’i meat with the addition of rosella flour 1.5%. The organoleptic test of colour, aroma, taste and tenderness of pork meat was analysed using the Kruskal Wallis test followed by the Mann Whitney test, while the pH, TPC and E. Coli. analysed using ANOVA followed by Duncan's test to see any differences between treatments. The results showed that the application of roselle flour to pork se'i meat with different concentrations (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%) affected the organoleptic quality (colour, taste and tenderness) but did not affect the aroma of pork se'i meat. The addition of roselle flour can also lower the pH, TPC and E. coli pork. It is concluded that the higher the amount of rosella flour shows good results for the quality of pig meat because it increases the taste and tenderness and lowers the pH, TPC and E.coli of pork se’i.

Talang Jerinjing Village is a target zone in endeavors to progress family sustenance since the foundation of the people in this zone could be a primitive tribal society with a high level of instruction. Hindering can be anticipated by keeping up the well-being and sustenance of pregnant women from an early age since a baby's development starts within the womb. The positive behavior of moms to avoid hindering amid pregnancy is the most thing. This inquiry points to distinguish the impact of instruction on the states of mind of pregnant ladies in antenatal care to avoid hindering in Talang Jerinjing Village, Indragiri Hulu area. The research method was a quasi-experiment by assessing the perspectives of 20 pregnant women before and after education about the importance of ante-natal care and preventing stunting. The variables in this study are health education and attitudes of pregnant women in ante-natal care to prevent stunting. The instrument used was a questionnaire. This research shows a significant change in the attitudes of pregnant women before and after school with p<0.05. Based on these results, it can be seen that health education influences changes in the attitudes of pregnant women in efforts to prevent stunting. Increasing pregnant women's understanding of stunting and efforts to prevent stunting during pregnancy can increase awareness and motivate mothers to try to avoid stunting during pregnancy.

The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to a global revolution across industries and service sectors. AI raises concerns such as job displacement and academic dishonesty. Their duties, involving using different technologies, have led them to incorporate AI technology into their work. This paper delves into the future of the student affairs profession, with a specific focus on the impact of artificial intelligence. The paper analyzes existing literature to identify emerging trends of uncertainties and points out potential opportunities associated with integrating AI into the role of student affairs professionals. This paper explores the nuances of integrating AI into student affairs, including both the opportunities and potential threats. In this paper, it was argued that professionals should identify the aspects of their job that necessitate a personal touch and concentrate their efforts on enhancing human experiences
The perceptual and mnemonic effects of ensemble representation on individual size representation
Authors: Choi Yong Min , Golomb Julie D. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractOur visual world consists of multiple objects, necessitating the identification of individual objects. Nevertheless, the representation of visual objects often exerts influence on each other. Even when we selectively attend to a subset of visual objects, the representations of surrounding items are encoded and influence the processing of the attended item(s). However, it remains unclear whether the effect of group ensemble representation on individual item representation occurs at the perceptual encoding phase, during the memory maintenance period, or both. Therefore, the current study conducted visual psychophysics experiments to investigate the contributions of perceptual and mnemonic bias on the observed effect of ensemble representation on individual size representation. Across five experiments, we found a consistent pattern of repulsive ensemble bias, such that the size of an individual target circle was consistently reported to be smaller than it actually was when presented alongside other circles with larger mean size, and vice versa. There was a perceptual component to the bias, but mnemonic factors also influenced its magnitude. Specifically, the repulsion bias was strongest with a short retention period (0–50 ms), then reduced within a second to a weaker magnitude that remained stable for a longer retention period (5,000 ms). Such patterns of results persisted when we facilitated the processing of ensemble representation by increasing the set size (Experiment 1B) or post-cueing the target circle so that attention was distributed across all items (Experiment 2B).
Le traitement automatique des langues : tendances et enjeux
Authors: Poibeau Thierry 
Published: October 2024

Le traitement automatique des langues (TAL) est un domaine de recherche pluridisciplinaire, à l’intersection de la linguistique et de l’informatique, qui vise à mettre au point des programmes informatiques pour l’analyse des langues par ordinateur. Ce domaine de recherche est apparu au début des années 1950, en même temps que la mise au point des premiers ordinateurs. Il s’est depuis largement diversifié et les applications de traitement automatique des langues se sont imposées dans la vie courante, que ce soit à travers les correcteurs orthographiques, les outils de traduction automatique ou la commande à la voix des téléphones portables ou des enceintes connectées. Au-delà de l’aspect parfois gadget des applications courantes, cet article essaie d’expliquer les difficultés de la tâche et les grandes évolutions du domaine ; il vise, en outre, à dresser un panorama des recherches en cours et des outils disponibles. Cet article est aussi l’occasion d’une réflexion sur la place de la linguistique dans le paysage actuel de la recherche en traitement automatique des langues.
Critique littéraire grecque et poésie latine : Denys et Horace, Longin et Virgile
Authors: Jonge Casper Constantijn de 
Published: October 2024

Cet article étudie les liens entre la critique littéraire grecque et la poésie latine d’époque augustéenne. Les érudits grecs de la fin de la République et du début de l’Empire sont habituellement étudiés au sein d’une tradition purement grecque ; mais beaucoup d’entre eux travaillaient à Rome et savaient lire le latin. Ces érudits grecs ne font pas explicitement référence à la poésie latine, mais une analyse de leurs discours peut révéler de nombreux parallèles, idées et notions communes, montrant que critiques grecs et poètes latins appartiennent à un même monde intellectuel. L’introduction présente une typologie des interactions et connexions entre critique littéraire grecque et littérature latine. Elle est suivie de deux études de cas, portant sur Horace et Denys d’Halicarnasse, et sur Virgile et Longin, l’auteur du traité Sur le sublime.
Jeux onomastiques dans les Vies des sophistes de Philostrate

Published: October 2024

Cet article s’intéresse à l’onomastique des orateurs présentés par Philostrate dans ses Vies des sophistes, selon quatre axes : le nom propre comme élément structurant du recueil ; l’exploitation du sens des noms parlants ; les potentialités génériques et fictionnelles que recèlent certains noms, notamment celui du sophiste Alexandre ; l’homonymie, facteur d’incertitude sur l’identité d’un individu, qui rappelle la nécessité pour chaque sophiste, dans un univers concurrentiel, de se faire un nom.
La haine de la danse. Éloge critique et diabolisation (iie-ve siècle)
Authors: Briand Michel 
Published: October 2024

Les spectacles scéniques, en particulier la pantomime gréco-romaine, constituent un objet de débat, voire de polémique, pendant toute l’Antiquité impériale, entre auteurs grecs et latins, polythéistes et chrétiens, philosophes et rhéteurs, de la Seconde Sophistique (Lucien) aux Pères de l’Église (Tertullien, Jean Chrysostome, Augustin), en passant par Libanios ou Plotin. D’ordre esthétique, éthique, religieux et social, les arguments les plus forts, parfois encore utilisés au xxie siècle, reposent sur les rapports complexes qu’entretient la danse spectaculaire ou rituelle avec le féminin, la séduction, l’érotisme, la fiction, l’ordre social et cosmique, la connaissance et la maîtrise de soi, et le sacré.
