Abstract

The coexisting strategies of plants under interspecific competition driven the trajectory of succession which concerned the ecological success of biodiversity maintenance in restored or created wetlands. To reveal the coexisting mechanism and guide the management of vegetation recovery, 220 vascular plants from 19 restored lakeside wetlands were systematically analyzed. The Ochiai index (OI) indicated that 62.41% of 435 pairs species exhibited negative correlation compared with 37.58% of positive correlation. The coexistence of heterospecific species was mainly accomplished via spatial and temporal niche partitioning, as well as trade-offs in height and coverage of plants. In terms of spatial niche partition, emergent plants were found to have a wider niche breadth of 1.67 ± 0.60 compared to upland plants with 1.28 ± 0.36. In temporal, 33.6% of species occurred in spring, 26.8% in autumn, and 39.5% in both seasons. Furthermore, according to plants phenology, the species maturing in spring, summer, and autumn accounted for 8.18%, 25.45%, and 62.27%, respectively. These findings on coexistence strategies can be used in the configuration of plants communities in both restored and created wetlands.

Authors: SEHLİKOĞLU ŞEYMA , SEHLİKOĞLU Kerem 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Purpose
The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of self-esteem, self-esteem subgroups, childhood traumatic experiences, and impulsivity levels on the risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) among Turkish male perpetrators.
Methods
The study included 154 male perpetrators referred to the domestic violence outpatient clinic by the judicial authorities for IPV. A semi-structured sociodemographic and clinical data form, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), and the Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS) were administered. A face-to-face clinical interview was conducted with each participant by using Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Disorders-Clinician Version (SCID-5-CV).
Results
Perpetrators with a history of witnessing family violence during childhood (χ2: 7.535, df: 2, p = 0.023, Cramer's V: 0.221) and exposure to family violence (χ2: 8.711, df: 2, p = 0.013, Cramer's V: 0.238) had higher risk levels. It was observed that the mean total self-esteem score was higher in the high-risk group (η2 = 0.32, p < 0.001). A positive correlation was found between the cases' mean RSE scores and the mean BIS scores (r = 0.712, p < 0.001). Perpetrators who were distrustful of others (p = 0.001, η2: 0.09) and those who were psychologically isolated (p < 0.001, η2: 0.19) were at high risk of IPV.
Conclusion
We found a strong relationship between self-esteem and its subgroups with IPV risk level and impulsivity among Turkish perpetrators. We believe that examining the self-esteem and impulsive characteristics of perpetrators would be beneficial in combating violence against women.

Abstract

The increasing number of dementia cases has determined a growing interest in prevention, with a specific focus on modifiable risk factors (MRFs). In this context, cognitive reserve (CR) may have a role in moderating the association between pathology and neurological symptoms and in buffering the effects of unhealthy MRFs on the clinical manifestations of dementia. The present study was aimed to cluster sub-groups of patients at risk of cognitive decline based on their MRFs and CR with k-means analysis. As a secondary analysis, we described the identified clusters from different perspectives, i.e., socio-demographic characteristics, cognitive functioning, and mental health. The analysis revealed two clusters, which were composed by 27 and 43 patients characterized by protective (Cluster 1) and unprotective (Cluster 2) everyday life habits, respectively. The two groups differed significantly in all the perspectives we considered, in favour of Cluster 1. Such a finding is representative of a more positive individual wellbeing for people who adopt protective behaviours. In the field of dementia prevention, these results support the importance to intervene proactively and simultaneously in the management of multiple risk factors during the entire lifespan.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Purpose
This study estimated risk of incident mental disorders in adulthood associated with both transient and persistent adolescent psychotic experiences (PEs).
Methods
A nested case-control design was used within the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), a birth cohort study which recruited expectant mothers from 1991–1992. Participants consisted of 8822 offspring of ALSPAC mothers who completed the Psychosis-like Symptoms Interview Questionnaire (PLIKSi-Q). PEs were assessed using the PLIKSi-Q. Depressive disorders were assessed using the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ), anxiety disorders using the General Anxiety Disorder Assessment and the Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised, and psychotic disorder using the PLIKSi. Risk of incident depressive disorder, GAD, psychotic disorder, and past-year suicide attempts were compared amongst participants who had ever versus never reported a PE and those who reported persistent versus transient PEs.
Results
Adolescent PEs were associated with increased risk for incident depressive disorder (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.42, 1.84), GAD (aHR 1.23, 95% CI = 1.03, 1.47), psychotic disorder (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 5.08, 95% CI = 2.02, 12.79), and past-year suicide attempts (aHR = 2.56, 95% CI = 1.97, 3.25). Persistent PEs were associated with increased risk for depressive disorder (aHR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.55, 2.12), generalized anxiety disorder (aHR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.07, 1.68), and psychotic disorder (aOR = 7.39, 95% CI = 2.43, 22.19) but not past-year suicide attempts.
Conclusion
Adolescent PEs are a risk factor for multiple mental disorders and suicide attempts, with persistent PEs conferring greater risk. Identifying interventions for adolescents who report PEs, particularly persistent PEs, could lessen the burden of multiple mental health disorders and suicide attempts.
Vast magenta aurora as revealed by citizen science
Authors: Kataoka Ryuho , Reddy Sachin Alexander , Nakano Shinya , Pettit Joshua , Nakamura Yuki 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

During large geomagnetic storms, red auroras are typically observed from low-latitude countries such as Japan1. The color arises from the specific emission line of Oxygen atoms at high altitudes2,3,4. However, during the May 10-11th 2024 superstorm, magenta auroras were observed above Japan instead of the typical red. In this study, we demonstrate that the magenta hue is created by a mixture of red (O) and a blue (N2+) aurora at extremely high altitudes. The blue color originates from the N2+ first negative emission band caused by both resonant scattering of the upwelling molecular ions5 and heavy particle precipitation during the storm6,7. This study is primarily driven by observations from citizen scientists, and confirmed and quantified with observations from spacecraft and modeling techniques. Additionally, we show that high solar activity, terrestrial season, and the preheating of the atmosphere all contribute to the occurrence of magenta aurora. This study showcases the value and richness of citizen science, and we anticipate that such approaches will become increasingly important in the future.
Content-Based Medical Image Retrieval using Deep Learning and Handcrafted features in Dimensionality Reduction framework
Authors: Singh Mona , Singh Manoj Kumar 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Content-based medical image retrieval (CBMIR) is an approach utilized for extracting pertinent medical images from extensive databases by focusing on their visual attributes instead of relying on textual information. This method entails examining the visual qualities of medical images, including texture, shape, intensity, and spatial relationships, in order to detect resemblances and patterns. In this study, the analysis focuses on six prominent low-level handcrafted feature techniques and eight transfer learning with pre-trained deep learning models for extracting features for CBMIR systems. Image indexing is crucial in CBMIR systems, particularly with high-dimensional data and the extremely sparse distribution of original data called the 'curse of dimensionality' problem. To address such problem, we use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) for dimensionality reduction. This experiments are performed on two benchmark datasets: Medical MNIST and KVASIR. For Medical MNIST datasets, handcrafted features are effective for distinct texture characteristics that are easily discernible to the human eye, however deep learning approaches are necessary for datasets with smaller shapes, sizes, and textures, like KVASIR dataset to minimize the semantic gap. The performance of the feature based techniques is evaluated using metrics: Precision, Recall, and F1-score. The handcrafted technique with t-SNE maintains constant performance with maximum 99.89% fewer dimensions compared to the full-featured technique. And with KVASIR dataset, using DCNN architecture with t-SNE, we achieve a maximum dimensionality reduction of 75% while maintaining consistent results.

Authors: Karadjole Vesna Sokol , AlShaer Dareen , Snelgrove John W. , Carmant Laurence Sophie , Moores Ginette 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
New-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a rare severe clinical condition in which a patient without a previous history of epilepsy presents with refractory status epilepticus (RSE) of no identifiable underlying cause. Health care providers face the clinical dilemma of minimizing teratogenic effects of antiseizure medication (ASM) while rapidly trying to attain seizure control. There is paucity of data regarding incidence, etiology, and treatment of NORSE in the pregnant population.
Case presentation
We report a case of 22-year-old women who presented with NORSE at 19 weeks of gestation after recurrent episodes of tonic-clonic seizure of unclear onset. Treatment was started with polytherapy regimen of Levetiracetam, Oxcarbazepine and Lacosamide which was progressively expanded to 2 more antiepileptics, Clobazam and Lamotrigine. The status epilepticus was super refractory, and she underwent intubation and sedation with Propofol and Midazolam. The patient was extubated after reaching seizure free status. After another breakthrough tonic-clonic seizure, she had suicide attempt and levetiracetam was changed to brivaracetam. Monthly growth scans indicated appropriate fetal growth and biophysical profile.
Patient had an uncomplicated induction of labor at term and delivered a healthy neonate. Postpartum recovery was uneventful, and the neonate did not manifest neonatal sedation or withdrawal.
Conclusion
This case is the first to describe a pregnant individual with NORSE diagnosed in the second trimester, resulting in the delivery of a healthy term neonate. Management of NORSE in pregnancy is challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach involving obstetricians, neurologists, intensivists, and neonatologists. Treatment must balance the need to control seizures with minimizing risks to both the mother and the fetus.

Abstract

Thanks to their high voltage and delivered capacity, Li-rich transition metal (TM) oxide positive electrode (cathode) materials are among the most promising for next-generation lithium-ion-batteries, where Co-free Li-rich cathodes join reduced costs with competitive performance. However, their cycle-life remains limited, and the individual role of TMs is still not fully understood. The investigation of the TM chemical species’ evolution along the first charge for Li1.2Mn0.56Ni0.16Co0.08O2 and Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O2 has been accessed by means of operando multi edge XAS. The charge compensation mechanism has been studied and the effect induced by removing Co has been revealed. The absence of Co results in an accelerated and completed Ni oxidation along the first stage of charge and an inhibited formation of the undesired spinel phase and oxygen release at the end of the high voltage plateau. Interestingly, the oxygen release in the Co-containing material involves mainly the oxygen close to the Mn site and occurs while local structural interlayer re-arrangements are taking place.
Five-Feature Models to Predict Preeclampsia Onset Time From Electronic Health Record Data: Development and Validation Study
Authors: Ballard Hailey K , Yang Xiaotong , Mahadevan Aditya D , Lemas Dominick J , Garmire Lana X 
Published: August 2024

Background
Preeclampsia is a potentially fatal complication during pregnancy, characterized by high blood pressure and the presence of excessive proteins in the urine. Due to its complexity, the prediction of preeclampsia onset is often difficult and inaccurate.

Objective
This study aimed to create quantitative models to predict the onset gestational age of preeclampsia using electronic health records.

Methods
We retrospectively collected 1178 preeclamptic pregnancy records from the University of Michigan Health System as the discovery cohort, and 881 records from the University of Florida Health System as the validation cohort. We constructed 2 Cox-proportional hazards models: 1 baseline model using maternal and pregnancy characteristics, and the other full model with additional laboratory findings, vitals, and medications. We built the models using 80% of the discovery data, tested the remaining 20% of the discovery data, and validated with the University of Florida data. We further stratified the patients into high- and low-risk groups for preeclampsia onset risk assessment.

Results
The baseline model reached Concordance indices of 0.64 and 0.61 in the 20% testing data and the validation data, respectively, while the full model increased these Concordance indices to 0.69 and 0.61, respectively. For preeclampsia diagnosed at 34 weeks, the baseline and full models had area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.65 and 0.70, and AUC values of 0.69 and 0.70 for preeclampsia diagnosed at 37 weeks, respectively. Both models contain 5 selective features, among which the number of fetuses in the pregnancy, hypertension, and parity are shared between the 2 models with similar hazard ratios and significant P values. In the full model, maximum diastolic blood pressure in early pregnancy was the predominant feature.

Conclusions
Electronic health records data provide useful information to predict the gestational age of preeclampsia onset. Stratification of the cohorts using 5-predictor Cox-proportional hazards models provides clinicians with convenient tools to assess the onset time of preeclampsia in patients.
Crowdfunding for Complementary and Alternative Cancer Treatments in Tijuana, Mexico: Content Analysis
Authors: Snyder Jeremy , Zenone Marco , Grewal Ashmita , Caulfield Timothy 
Published: August 2024

Background
Complementary and alternative (CAM) cancer treatment is often expensive and not covered by insurance. As a result, many people turn to crowdfunding to access this treatment.

Objective
The aim of this study is to identify the rationales of patients with cancer seeking CAM treatment abroad by looking specifically at crowdfunding campaigns to support CAM cancer treatment in Tijuana, Mexico.

Methods
We scraped the GoFundMe.com and GiveSendGo.com crowdfunding platforms for campaigns referencing CAM cancer clinics in Tijuana, initiated between January 1, 2022, and February 28, 2023. The authors created a coding framework to identify rationales for seeking CAM treatment in Tijuana. To supplement campaign metadata, we coded the beneficiary’s cancer stage, type, age, specific treatment sought, whether the beneficiary died, gender, and race.

Results
Patients sought CAM cancer treatment in Tijuana because the (1) treatment offers the greatest efficacy (29.9%); (2) treatment offered domestically was not curative (23.2%); (3) the clinic treats the whole person, and addresses the spiritual dimension of the person (20.1%); (4) treatments are nontoxic, natural, or less invasive (18.2%); and (5) clinic offers the newest technology (8.5%). Campaigns raised US $5,275,268.37 and most campaign beneficiaries were women (69.7%) or White individuals (71.1%).

Conclusions
These campaigns spread problematic misinformation about the likely efficacy of CAM treatments, funnel money and endorsements to CAM clinics in Tijuana, and leave many campaigners short of the money needed to pay for CAM treatments while costing beneficiaries and their loved one’s time, privacy, and dignity. This study affirms that Tijuana, Mexico, is a very popular destination for CAM cancer treatment.

Authors: Wu XiuLi , Kang Aimei 
Published: August 2024

Background
In a global context, the shortage of nursing personnel has emerged as a significant challenge, particularly in countries such as China experiencing population aging. The inadequacy of nursing human resources has become one of the primary threats affecting the quality of health services available to Chinese residents. Therefore, forecasting the demand for nursing personnel has become an important issue.

Objective
This study presents a Gray GM (1,1) forecasting model for predicting the future 10-year demand for nursing workforce and the number of specialized geriatric nurses, aiming to provide a scientific basis for the development of policies in health care institutions in China.

Methods
Based on data from the China Statistical Yearbook 2022, the Gray GM (1,1) model was used to predict the demand for nursing jobs and geriatric nurses over the next 10 years (2024-2033).

Results
The results indicate that from 2024 to 2033, amidst a continuous growth in the overall population and an increasingly pronounced trend of population aging, the demand for nursing workforce in China, especially for specialized geriatric nurses, is projected to steadily increase.

Conclusions
The paper provides a reference basis for the establishment of China’s health care workforce system and the involvement of government departments in health care workforce planning.
