Authors: Morowatisharifabad Mohammad Ali , Mozaffari Fatemeh , Jambarsang Sara , Bidaki Reza 
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Social support is a crucial factor in how well older adults adjust to the aging process and related challenges, such as anxiety about death. Body image in older adults is a complex and important concept, yet it has been under-researched. This study examined the correlations between social support, death anxiety, and body image in older adults residing in Yazd City, Iran.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved older adults from Yazd City, Iran, who visited comprehensive urban health centers in 2022. A convenience sample of 200 participants was selected. They completed questionnaires on demographics, social support perception, body image concerns, and death anxiety.

Results: The total social support score (p < 0.01) as well as the score of family support (p < 0.05) and others' support (p < 0.01) showed a significant negative correlation with death anxiety. However, no significant association was found between death anxiety and body image, nor between social support and body image. Regression analysis revealed that only "support from others" was a significant predictor of death anxiety (p < 0.01). Men reported receiving more friends' social support than women (p < 0.05). Participants with higher socioeconomic status were more likely to receive greater family’s social support (p < 0.01) and experience less death anxiety (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Social support positively impacts the mental well-being and morale of older adults. It can, therefore, be considered a readily available resource and a form of social capital to reduce death anxiety, enhance their sense of purpose, and improve their quality of life.

Authors: Ahmadimajd Roya 
Published: June 2024

Introduction: In old age, diseases and frailty can be minimized through proper care and understanding, paving the way for healthy and normative aging. The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between loneliness and empathy with death anxiety in the elderly.

Methods: This study utilized structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all elderly residents of Ahvaz, Iran, in 2023. Convenient sampling was employed to select 108 elderly individuals. The research instruments included the Death Anxiety Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale, Interpersonal Reactivity Index, and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were adopted for data analysis.

Results: There was a direct relationship between loneliness and adaptive emotion regulation and maladaptive emotion regulation in the elderly. Additionally, there was a direct relationship between empathy and death anxiety, adaptive emotion regulation, and maladaptive emotion regulation. Moreover, a positive relationship was observed between maladaptive emotion regulation and death anxiety, while a negative relationship existed between adaptive emotion regulation and death anxiety in the elderly (p < 0.001). The results revealed an indirect relationship between loneliness and death anxiety mediated by emotion regulation. There was also an indirect relationship between empathy and death anxiety mediated by emotion regulation (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The proposed model exhibited a good fit. Therefore, raising awareness and implementing measures to empower the elderly in emotion regulation concerning the relationship between loneliness and empathy can play a key role in reducing their death anxiety.

Numerical study of the effects of vegetation stem thickness on the flow characteristics of curved channels
Authors: Zhao Wenhao , Zhang Shengtang , Zhang Jingzhou , Bilal Ahmer 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

A curved channel is a common flow form in nature, often hosting aquatic vegetation along rivers. The stem thickness of this vegetation affects its resistance to flow and subsequently influences flow characteristics. To explore the impact of stem thickness on river flow in curved channels, we developed a Reynolds stress model based on real river flow conditions and vegetation data. The flow characteristics were analyzed in terms of flow velocity, Reynolds stress and turbulence intensity by varying the stem thickness of the vegetation in the vegetated area. The results of the study reveal that: (1) Water velocity in the vegetated area is significantly reduced compared to the non-vegetated area, with a greater reduction observed for thicker stems. Increasing the vegetation diameter by 3 mm resulted in a velocity decrease of 2.31–26.55%. (2) Thicker vegetation stems lead to more intense energy exchange in water flow. A 3 mm increase in vegetation diameter increased Reynolds stress by 91.81–139.70%. (3) Turbulent kinetic energy in the vegetated area is significantly higher than in the non-vegetated area, with greater turbulence intensity observed for thicker vegetation stems. Increasing the vegetation diameter by 3 mm resulted in a turbulent kinetic energy increase of 115.19–218.55%.
Assessing soil erosion through the implementation of the RUSLE model and geospatial technology in the Isser watershed, northern Algeria

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Soil erosion, triggered by rainfall and runoff, poses a significant challenge for Mediterranean countries, leading to sedimentation in dam reservoirs, decreased storage capacities, and reduced agricultural fertility. Among various erosion estimation models, the RUSLE equation stands out for its consistency and minimal data requirements. The present study aims to utilize geographic information systems (GIS) software to quantify and map soil loss in the Isser watershed in northern Algeria employing the RUSLE model to strategically plan development measures and prioritize actions to safeguard high-risk erosion areas. Implementing the RUSLE-GIS approach involves integrating multiple datasets, including precipitation, soil erodibility, topography, vegetation cover, and anti-erosion practices. By combining these factors, a comprehensive map depicting erosion rates is generated. The findings categorize potential soil erosion into six groups, ranging from very low to extremely high. They indicate that 61.5% of the Isser Basin faces erosion, varying from moderate to very high (&gt;20 t ha−1 year−1). In addition, 25% of the total surface experiences erosion levels classified as high to very high (&gt;50 t ha−1 year−1). This underscores the urgent need for anti-erosive measures. These measures aim to safeguard the basin's soils, extend the lifespan of existing dam reservoirs (Koudiet Acerdoune and Beni Amran), and preserve their water potential.

Authors: Li Rui , Wang He , Xin Kunlun , Tao Tao 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Safe water supply and energy conservation are two goals that the water supply industry has always focused on. Integrated pump station adopts a dual-mode water supply system which has adjustable water storage capacity and can utilize the pressure of inlet water effectively; hence, it is a new type of solution in optimizing the operation of urban water supply systems. In order to solve the problem of insufficient water supply pressure during peak hours in the railway station and municipal party committee area of S city, the author constructed a pipe network hydraulic model, conducted a systematic analysis of the water supply pipe network, and optimized the design of integrated pump stations (IPSs) using NSGA-III combined with EPANET. Finally, the hydraulic model of the pipe network is used to verify the feasibility of the scheme. The results show that under the premise of ensuring a safe water supply, energy conservation, and water age optimization can be achieved simultaneously, and the fluctuation intensity of the total water supply from the water plants is effectively reduced.

Abstract

Background
Patients with cancer often face depression and anxiety, and mindfulness-based interventions, including internet-based versions, can effectively reduce these symptoms and improve their quality of life. This study aims to investigate the impact of internet-based mindfulness-based interventions (e-MBIs) on anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms in patients with prostate or breast cancer.

Objective
The primary aims are to assess the association between the amount and variety of e-MBI practices and symptom reduction. Second, this study aims to examine how baseline information such as sociodemographic characteristics, dispositional mindfulness (DM), and dispositional self-compassion (DSC) correlate with both app usage and symptom reduction.

Methods
Participants included 107 patients with cancer (68 women with breast cancer and 38 men with prostate cancer) enrolled in a hospital setting. They were assigned to the intervention group of the NEVERMIND project, using the e-BMI module via the NEVERMIND app. A longitudinal design involved Pearson correlation analysis to determine the relationship between the amount and duration of e-MBI practices. Linear regression analysis was conducted to gauge the dose-response effect, evaluating the impact of DM and DSC on depression, anxiety, and stress. Negative binomial regression was conudcted to study sociodemographic factors’ influence on the amount of practice in e-MBIs.

Results
The participants with more diverse and sustained mindfulness practices experienced significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and stress. A high correlation (0.94) between e-MBI practices and symptom reduction was also highlighted. Male, married, and highly educated patients were more likely to engage in mindfulness. Even if DM and DSC did not impact the amount or variety of practices correlated, they were correlated with symptom reduction, showing that higher levels were associated with significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and stress.

Conclusions
While more e-MBI practice is linked to reduced anxiety, depression, and stress, this study emphasizes the crucial role of variety of practice over amount. DM and DSC are key in shaping intervention effectiveness and may act as protectors against psychological distress. Using app log data, our research provides a unique perspective on e-MBI impact, contributing to cancer care understanding and guiding future studies.
