Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an effective methodology for translating research findings from academia to community interventions. The Bench to Community Initiative (BCI), a CBPR program, builds on prior research to engage stakeholders across multiple disciplines with the goal of disseminating interventions to reduce breast cancer disparities and improve quality of life of Black communities.MethodsThe BCI program was established to understand sociocultural determinants of personal care product use, evaluate the biological impact of endocrine disrupting chemicals, and develop community interventions. The three pillars of the program include research, outreach and engagement as well as advocacy activities. The research pillar of the BCI includes development of multidisciplinary partnerships to understand the sociocultural and biological determinants of harmful chemical (e.g., endocrine disrupting chemicals) exposures from personal care products and to implement community interventions. The outreach and engagement pillar includes education and translation of research into behavioral practice. The research conducted through the initiative provides the foundation for advocacy engagement with applicable community-based organizations. Essential to the mission of the BCI is the participation of community members and trainees from underrepresented backgrounds who are affected by breast cancer disparities.ResultsTwo behavioral interventions will be developed building on prior research on environmental exposures with the focus on personal care products including findings from the BCI. In person and virtual education activities include tabling at community events with do-it-yourself product demonstrations, Salon Conversations—a virtual platform used to bring awareness, education, and pilot behavior change interventions, biennial symposiums, and social media engagement. BCI’s community advisory board members support activities across the three pillars, while trainees participate in personal and professional activities that enhance their skills in research translation.DiscussionThis paper highlights the three pillars of the BCI, lessons learned, testimonies from community advisory board members and trainees on the impact of the initiative, as well as BCI’s mission driven approaches to achieving health equity.

Published: August 2024

BackgroundCataract is a leading cause of global blindness, affecting around 33% of blind individuals worldwide. It significantly impacts individuals’ well-being, independence, and quality of life, posing a substantial economic burden. India’s rapidly ageing population necessitates an examination of cataract prevalence and treatment disparities. No attempts have been made to address socioeconomic variation in treatment disparities of effective cataract treatment coverage among older adults in India.Data and methodThis study utilises data from the Longitudinal Ageing Study of India (LASI) conducted in 2017–18, that covered, 73,396 individuals aged 45 and above. Logistic regression, univariate, and bivariate analyses were employed to understand the variation of cataract and their associations with various demographic factors. Visual acuity tests and self-reported cataract data were used.ResultsThe prevalence of cataract among older adults in India was 14.25%, with higher rates among females and the older adult. Socioeconomic disparities werelarge, with lower prevalence among those with higher education and urban residence. Despite the effectiveness of cataract surgery, disparities in treatment access and effective coverage persisted. Approximately 27.52% of older adults did not receive cataract treatment, and those who received out of them 28% did not receive effective treatment. The effective treatment was lower among female, less educated, and poor.ConclusionCataract remains a significant public health concern in India, particularly among older adults. The study highlights the importance of addressing socioeconomic disparities in cataract treatment access and quality of care. Targeted interventions are needed to bridge these gaps, ultimately improving visual health outcomes and well-being among older adults in India.

IntroductionThe rise of accessible, consumer facing large language models (LLM) provides an opportunity for immediate diagnostic support for clinicians.ObjectivesTo compare the different performance characteristics of common LLMS utility in solving complex clinical cases and assess the utility of a novel tool to grade LLM output.MethodsUsing a newly developed rubric to assess the models’ diagnostic utility, we measured to models’ ability to answer cases according to accuracy, readability, clinical interpretability, and an assessment of safety. Here we present a comparative analysis of three LLM models—Bing, Chat GPT, and Gemini—across a diverse set of clinical cases as presented in the New England Journal of Medicines case series.ResultsOur results suggest that models performed differently when presented with identical clinical information, with Gemini performing best. Our grading tool had low interobserver variability and proved a reliable tool to grade LLM clinical output.ConclusionThis research underscores the variation in model performance in clinical scenarios and highlights the importance of considering diagnostic model performance in diverse clinical scenarios prior to deployment. Furthermore, we provide a new tool to assess LLM output.

ObjectivesTo compare performance progression and variety in race distances of comparable lengths (timewise) between pool swimming and track running. Quality of within-sport variety was determined as the performance differences between individual athletes' main and secondary race distances across (top-) elite and (highly-) trained swimmers and runners.MethodsA total of 3,827,947 race times were used to calculate performance points (race times relative to the world record) for freestyle swimmers (n = 12,588 males and n = 7,561 females) and track runners (n = 9,230 males and n = 5,841 females). Athletes were ranked based on their personal best at peak performance age, then annual best times were retrospectively traced throughout adolescence.ResultsPerformance of world-class swimmers differentiates at an earlier age from their lower ranked peers (15–16 vs. 17–20 year age categories, P &lt; 0.05), but also plateaus earlier towards senior age compared to runners (19–20 vs. 23 + year age category, P &lt; 0.05), respectively. Performance development of swimmers shows a logarithmic pattern, while runners develop linearly. While swimmers compete in more secondary race distances (larger within-sport variety), runners specialize in either sprint, middle- or long-distance early in their career and compete in only 2, 4 or 3 other race distances, respectively. In both sports, sprinters specialize the most (P &lt; 0.05). Distance-variety of middle-distance swimmers covers more longer rather than sprint race distances. Therefore, at peak performance age, (top-) elite female 200 m swimmers show significantly slower sprint performances, i.e., 50 m (P &lt; 0.001) and 100 m (P &lt; 0.001), but not long-distance performances, i.e., 800 m (P = 0.99) and 1,500 m (P = 0.99). In contrast, (top-) elite female 800 m middle-distance runners show significantly slower performances in all their secondary race distances (P &lt; 0.001). (Top-) elite female athletes specialize more than (highly-) trained athletes in both sports (P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionsThe comparison to track running and lower ranked swimmers, the early performance plateau towards senior age, and the maintenance of a large within-sport distance variety indicates that (top-) elite sprint swimmers benefit from greater within-sport specialization.

Published: August 2024

Phaseolus vulgaris is a globally important legume cash crop, which can carry out symbiotic nitrogen fixation with rhizobia. The presence of suitable rhizobia in cultivating soils is crucial for legume cropping, especially in areas beyond the plant-host native range, where soils may lack efficient symbiotic partners. We analyzed the distribution patterns and traits of native rhizobia associated with P. vulgaris in soils of Yunnan, where the common bean experienced a recent expansion. A total of 608 rhizobial isolates were tracked from soils of fifteen sampling sites using two local varieties of P. vulgaris. The isolates were discriminated into 43 genotypes as defined by IGS PCR-RFLP. Multiple locus sequence analysis based on recA, atpD and rpoB of representative strains placed them into 11 rhizobial species of Rhizobium involving Rhizobium sophorae, Rhizobium acidisoli, Rhizobium ecuadorense, Rhizobium hidalgonense, Rhizobium vallis, Rhizobium sophoriradicis, Rhizobium croatiense, Rhizobium anhuiense, Rhizobium phaseoli, Rhizobium chutanense and Rhizobium etli, and five unknown Rhizobium species; Rhizobium genosp. I~V. R. phaseoli and R. anhuiense were the dominant species (28.0% and 28.8%) most widely distributed, followed by R. croatiense (14.8%). The other rhizobial species were less numerous or site-specific. Phylogenies of nodC and nifH markers, were divided into two specific symbiovars, sv. phaseoli regardless of the species affiliation and sv. viciae associated with R. vallis. Through symbiotic effect assessment, all the tested strains nodulated both P. vulgaris varieties, often resulting with a significant greenness index (91–98%). However, about half of them exhibited better plant biomass performance, at least on one common bean variety, and two isolates (CYAH-6 and BLYH-15) showed a better symbiotic efficiency score. Representative strains revealed diverse abiotic stress tolerance to NaCl, acidity, alkalinity, temperature, drought and glyphosate. One strain efficient on both varieties and exhibiting stress abiotic tolerance (BLYH-15) belonged to R. genosp. IV sv. phaseoli, a species first found as a legume symbiont.

Probiotics demonstrated effectiveness in modulating oral microbiota and improving oral health in humans and rodents. However, its effects and applications on the oral microbiota of cats remain underexplored. Twelve healthy cats were randomly assigned to a control group (CON) and a composite probiotic group (CPG) for a 42-day trial. The CPG diet included additional supplementation of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, and Lactobacillus casei LC-11, each at approximately 1 × 1010 CFU/kg. On days 0 and 42, microbial samples were collected from the gingiva, tooth surfaces, and tongue of all cats for 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria were the dominant phyla across all oral sites. The CPG treatment enriched seven genera, such as Moraxella, Actinomyces, and Frederiksenia in the gingiva. Meanwhile, Bergeyella and Streptococcus were enriched on the tooth surfaces, while Bergeyella, Flavobacterium, and Luteimonas were enriched on the tongue. Furthermore, the composite probiotic effectively suppressed eight genera, such as Bacteroides, Desulfovibrio, and Filifactor in the gingiva of CPG cats, as well as Helcococcus, Lentimicrobium, and Campylobacter on tooth surfaces, and Porphyromonas, Treponema, and Fusibacter on the tongue. These findings suggest that the composite probiotic used in this study modulates the feline oral microbiota by supporting beneficial or commensal bacteria and inhibiting oral pathogens, demonstrating potential to improve oral health in cats.

Immunization is an effective strategy of the government to reduce morbidity and mortality from Preventable Diseases by Immunization (PD3I). During the Covid-19 pandemic, this situation had a significant impact on the health sector, reducing immunization coverage rates. Currently, Indonesia is in the post-Covid-19 pandemic phase characterized by positive trends in pandemic control. This study aims to understand the perceptions of parents or caregivers regarding the provision of routine immunization to children in the post-Covid-19 pandemic era. The research method used a cross-sectional design with sampling using the quota sampling method, with a total of 100 respondents. Data were collected through a questionnaire adopting the health belief model theory to parents or caregivers who brought their children to the Posyandu for immunization. The results showed that perceptions of vulnerability (p value = 0,071), seriousness (p value = 0,121), and cues to action (p value = 0,731) had an insignificant effect on immunization for toddlers, while perceptions of benefits (p value = 0,008), barriers (p value = 0,000), and self-efficacy (p value = 0,000) had a significant effect on immunization for toddlers in the post-Covid-19 pandemic era (p value < 0.05). The components of the health belief model that form the perceptions of parents or caregivers towards immunization are interconnected, although not all are statistically significant. Therefore, perceptions of vulnerability, seriousness, and cues to action need to be improved to form a good perception of immunization after the Covid-19 pandemic

La “democratización de la comunicación” para la participación de todas y todos en el debate social sigue siendo un desafío pendiente en estos 40 años de democracia. Los últimos años, con grandes avances tecnológicos y la llamada “globalización” que vivimos -disfrutamos y sufrimos- se han caracterizado por un fuerte impacto de la información y la comunicación en la vida de las personas y de los pueblos. Ni el desarrollo tecnológico ni el “mercado” han permitido una oferta, aunque abundante, lo suficientemente diversa de bienes culturales y medios de comunicación. Por el contrario, se observa una tendencia creciente a los monopolios que han reducido la oferta comunicacional, violando o amenazando la diversidad cultural y los derechos de las mayorías silenciadas. Inclusive las llamadas “Redes Sociales” son controladas por los algoritmos de unas pocas grandes corporaciones.

Abstract
Terahertz flat optics based on metasurfaces can replace massive optical components with optically thin components. However, metasurfaces with unprecedented material properties frequently produce a specified function, and terahertz flat optics has yet to be commonly adopted in terahertz devices that require multiple functions. Here, we present a two-layer component composed of a collimating metalens and a quarter-wave plate that convert linearly polarized terahertz wide-angle radiation waves from a resonant tunneling diode to circularly polarized plane waves. Our findings would be applied to laminate structures with optical vortices, ultrahigh directivity and arbitrary wavefront control in 6 G wireless communications.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: This study aims to analyze tourists' perspectives regarding the sustainability of four tourism destinations, namely Sedudo Waterfall, Roro Kuning, TRAL, and Margo Tresno Cave in Nganjuk East Java, Indonesia. Moreover, this study attempts to reveal tourists' sustainability awareness based on the triplebottom-line concept and which dimensions are considered the most important for tourists.
Research Methodology: Data were obtained from a survey of visitors (16 years old and over) to the four tourist objects in Nganjuk. Furthermore, this study utilized Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and ANOVA tests to evaluate the differences between types of tourists and their views on sustainability.
Results: The number of types of tourists found in the Nganjuk tourist destination was change, amusement, rupture, interest, and dedication. The ANOVA test results show a different tourist perception of sustainability issues from the five types of tourists in Nganjuk.
Limitations: This study involved only young respondents who did not consider tourists beyond a young age. In addition, this study focused only on one regency in Indonesia.
Contributions: To create a tourism industry that can last and protect the environment, the vital role of tourists cannot be ignored. This research makes a theoretical contribution by expanding the theory to explain aspects that have never been studied before regarding tourists' understanding of the sustainability issue in the tourism sector.
Novelty: This study is one of the first to discuss tourists' perceptions of sustainability issues in the Indonesian context.

Goal. To establish the effectiveness of chemical protection of vineyards against pests, taking into account the peculiarities of their biology, distribution, harmfulness, seasonal dynamics of flight in Zakarpattya Ukraine.
Methods. The research was conducted in accordance with the generally accepted methods in entomology and viticulture in 2021—2022 on the basis of Chateau Chizay LLC. The dynamics of the pest’s flight were studied in the field using the pheromone monitoring method using «Atrakon» pheromone traps and synthetic sex pheromones from the company «Csalomon» (Hungary). The research was conducted on Muscat, Chersegui, Sovignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sovignon, Merlot, Rhine Riesling, and Pino Blan varieties. In 2022, in the vineyards of Chateau Chizay LLC, Zakarpattia Oblast, chemical plant protection agents were tested against grape leaf curl: Karate Zeon 050 CS, SK (liambda-tsyhalotryn, 50 h/l), 0.65 l/ha, Korahen 20, KS (khlorantraniliprol, 200 h/l), 0.15 l/ ha, Mavrik, EV (tau-fliuvalinat, 240 h/l), 0.2 l/ha, Voliam Fleksi 300 SC, KS (tiametoksam, 200 h/l + khlorantraniliprol, 100 h/l), 0.3 l/ha according to generally accepted methods.
Results. Prolonged spring cooling in 2022 delayed the start of the flight of the first generation of cluster leafhopper, which began only in the first days of May. The second generation of this pest has been actively developing since the end of June. Grape damage on different varieties ranged from 2.1% on Muscat to 8.0% on Pino Blan. In the control (not treated with insecticides) plots, this indicator averaged 96.1%. The yield in the farm by variety averaged about 8 t/ha and ranged from 7.1 t/ha for the Muscat variety to 9.0 t/ha for the Merlot variety. In the control plot, the yield was low, only 1.4 t/ha. The effectiveness of protective measures on all grape varieties reached 90.5%.
Conclusion. It was established that the protracted spring cooling caused the late start of flight of the grape leafhopper, which made adjustments to the calendar of protective measures, especially chemical ones. At the same time, thanks to pheromone monitoring, it was possible to establish the exact date of the start of Lobesia botrana’s flight and specify the timing of the application of chemical insecticides at the most favorable time, which made it possible to achieve an efficiency of more than 90%. Use of plant protection products against Lobesia botrana Den. et Schiff. in vineyards, LLC «Chateau Chizay», Zakarpattia Oblast contributed to the reduction of grape damage up to 94% and the preservation of the harvest up to 6.5 t/ha.
Geneza i motywy wprowadzenia do Kodeksu karnego możliwości wymierzenia kary nieredukowalnego dożywotniego pozbawienia wolności

Published: August 2024

Artykuł analizuje genezę oraz motywy wprowadzenia do Kodeksu karnego możliwości wymierzenia kary nieredukowalnego dożywotniego pozbawienia wolności, tj. bez możliwości ubiegania się o warunkowe przedterminowe zwolnienie (ustawa z dnia 7 lipca 2022 r. o zmianie ustawy – Kodeks karny oraz niektórych innych ustaw). Zdaniem autora omawiane przepisy mają charakter populizmu penalnego i stanowią przykład uprzedmiotowienia skazanego, który staje się środkiem do osiągnięcia określonych celów. Odwołują się one do pierwotnych (atawistycznych) instynktów (zemsty). Wprowadzenie do k.k. możliwości wymierzenia kary nieredukowalnego dożywotniego pozbawienia wolności wpisuje się również w zmianę aksjologii, której ustawodawca dał wyraz w zakresie dyrektyw wymiaru kary.
The article analyses the genesis and motives of the introduction to the Criminal Code of the possibility of imposing the life imprisonment without parole (Act of 7 July 2022 amending the Act – Criminal Code and certain other acts). In the author’s opinion, the provisions in question have the character of penal populism and constitute an example of objectification of the convict, who becomes a means to achieve certain goals. The analysed provisions refer to primal (atavistic) instincts (revenge). The regulations in question will not reduce the level of crime. The introduction of the possibility of imposing a sentence of irreducible life imprisonment into the Criminal Code is also part of the change in axiology that the legislator has given expression to in terms of the sentencing directives.
