Authors: Li Chunhai , Zuo Xiaohui 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The purpose of the study is to help users know about their favorite music and expand art market audiences. First, the personalized recommendation data of classical music are obtained based on the deep learning recommendation algorithm technology, artificial intelligence, and music playback software of users. Second, a systematic experiment is conducted on the improved recommendation algorithm, and a classical music dataset is established and used for model training and user testing. Then, the network model of the classical music recommendation algorithm is constructed through the typical convolutional neural network model, and the optimal parameters suitable for the model are found. The experimental results show that the optimal value of the dimension in the hidden layer is 192, and 24,000 training rounds can converge to the global optimum when the learning rate is 0.001. The personalized recommendation is provided for target users by calculating the similarity between user preference and potential features of classical music, relieving the auditory fatigue of art market audiences, improving user experience, and expanding the art market audience through the classical music recommendation system.

Theoretical considerations on linguistic innovation through new combinations in African youth language practices, exemplified in Yanké and Langila (DR Congo)
Authors: Kunzmann Janika 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In youth language practice, diverse creative linguistic strategies are applied to derive a language variant distinct from what is perceived as the norm. Since linguistic innovation is of primary interest for the study of “deviant” speech varieties, this paper discusses whether the structural similarities and differences observed between African youth languages can be addressed by determining the linguistic strategies employed by speakers in order to innovate. Defining innovation as a new combination of existing material, I identify two higher-level types of practices that I propose lead to linguistic innovation: (i) combining two or more resources from different languages in the speaker’s linguistic repertoire, and (ii) using a linguistic strategy with a part of the speaker’s linguistic repertoire. To illustrate these two types, reference is made to the Lingala-based youth language practices Yanké and Langila. Although both types of strategy may occur simultaneously, I argue that Yanké speakers rely more on combining different languages from their repertoire, whereas Langila speakers more heavily rely on applying creative language games to their repertoire. The question is raised as to whether the structural differences between the two youth language practices can be accounted for by determining the type of innovation practices employed by the speakers.

Abstract
The rapid increase of urbanization across the tropics has transformed natural landscapes into intensely modified environments, challenging native species to thrive in human-dominated spaces. Frugivorous bats perform vital ecological roles in urban landscapes, preventing the further decline of seed dispersal dynamics. The “cumbaru” tree Dipteryx alata – a large native species widely distributed throughout Cerrado savannahs of South America – serves as an important food resource for wildlife. In this study, we documented and quantified the cumbaru potential dispersal performed by Artibeus sp. in an urban area located in the limits between Cerrado and Pantanal (Cáceres municipality, Mato Grosso, Brazil). Our results revealed that, during 21 nights of observation, individuals of Artibeus sp. transported 27 fruits at a distance of approximately 35 m. Our observations on the dynamics of seed dispersal by bats in an urban context provide preliminary, but important, insights for management actions to ensure the maintaining of species interactions and biodiversity conservation across human-dominated landscapes.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
There is a strong need for exploring the new preparation methods for silyl ethers due to their great potential in synthetic chemistry and materials. At present, the catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of silane and alcohol has been proven to be an attractive way to prepare silyl ethers. In this work, we used a non-metallic and inexpensive phenyl phosphonic acid as a catalyst, which can directly generate corresponding silyl ethers from alcohols and silanes in high yields under relatively mild conditions such as metal-free, no solvents, demonstrating its enormous application potentials.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
This study proposed a method to predict the future aircraft noise level of the international airport by taking Baiyun International Airport (BIA) as an example. BIA was selected to be studied because it is an important international aviation hub in China. The third phase expansion project of BIA is currently in progress, which is the largest airport expansion project in China. The method included the analysis of current operation of the airport, prediction of future operation scenario and operation of the airport, and predicted future population around the airport. Based on the predicted information, this study used CadnaA software to construct and analyze the noise maps of BIA during summer and winter in 2030. The major advancement of this study compared to that of previous research is that this study predicted the noise levels of the airport during summer and winter separately based on the wind direction of airport location, while other research did not take wind direction into consideration. It is found that operation Scenario 1 produces lower noise pollution level in the future compared to Scenario 2 based on the noise exposure results. It is worth mentioning that in 2030 during winter, when the noise level is greater than 70 dB, the noise-exposed area and population of BIA increase by 71.88 and 146.87% (Scenario 1), respectively, compared to current data, which is more serious compared to the growth rate during summer.

Abstract
In order to contribute to the sufficient supply of clinical 99mTc(VII), the sorption behavior of neutron-produced 99Mo(VI) was investigated on synthetized single and binary Ti and Zr xerogels treated at different temperatures, under normal operating conditions. Materials were prepared by the sol–gel method and characterized by several techniques. Sorption batch systems were performed using 99Mo radiotracer to determine the metallic affinity as a function of pH, and a methodology was developed in order to obtain the maximum capacities by surface saturation, where the Ti-388, TiZr-388 (3:1) and Zr-388 samples showed the most noteworthy sorption behaviors (33.1 ± 0.34 mg/g at pH ∼ 6.0, 31.7 ± 0.27 mg/g at pH ∼ 6.5, and 23.5 ± 0.61 mg/g at pH ∼ 6.8, respectively). The molybdenum-99 sorption behavior was also studied by fitting to the Freundlich and Langmuir models, and all xerogels could be described as heterogeneous materials with favorable 99Mo sorption properties. Finally, preliminary studies of clinical-scale 99Mo/99mTc generators were performed, the results revealed the next maximum 99mTc elution yield order Ti-388 (89.6 %) > TiZr-388 (3:1) (86.7 %) > Zr-388 (77.7 %).
Regulating Criminal Unaccountability - From Concepts to Defensible Legal Standards
Authors: Gröning Linda 
Published: May 2024

Modern criminal law is based on the premise that individuals possess the ability to take the responsibility to act in permissible ways and in accordance with the norms communicated by the penal code, and thus can be held accountable for their acts. There are, however, exceptions when this presumption is overridden. Young age and immaturity, severe mental disorder and disabilities, and consciousness disorders are across jurisdictions considered candidates to impair these capacities. The key legal doctrine of criminal insanity here concerns a defendant’s lack of capacity for responsible action and provides an excuse from criminal responsibility. In current criminal justice systems, this doctrine has been linked to concepts about mental disorder. The specific legal criteria vary across countries, but the reasons and justifications for this variation have not been sufficiently discussed. This article takes as a starting point that the law must transform concepts into concrete and applicable legal rules and standards. Thus, any system’s definitions and judgements about who is criminally unaccountable, must rely on proxies such as ‘mental disorder’. From this starting point, this paper discusses the transformation from concepts to possible alternatives of legal rules, with special attention to mental disorder as an excuse from criminal accountability and punishment.

Published: May 2024

Coffee diversity contributes significantly to the richness and uniqueness of taste, because each coffee type or cultivar carries out its intrinsic quality as a reflection of its genetic characteristic. The aims of this study is to examine the effect of blending of several Gayo Arabica coffee cultivars on the coffee brew sensory profile. This study uses quantitative descriptive analysis (ADK). Experimental design used is one factor ANOVA with 7 combination ratio. Combination of 3 and 2 cultivars were also to be analyzed with different mixing of 3 and 2 cultivars. The samples were then tested for taste including Aroma, Flavor, Aftertaste, Acidity, Body, Balance, and Overall by expert panelists. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test because the data did not have a normal/nonparametric distribution. The results of the analysis of variance showed that there was no significant difference between the blending treatment and the control treatment on the taste quality scores tested (P0.05). Based on the descriptive, there is a difference in the taste quality score between the blending treatment and the control treatment on the total score of Gayo Arabica coffee taste quality.

Published: May 2024

Abstract

As transistors are scaled to smaller dimensions their static power increases. Combining two-dimensional (2D) channel materials with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) logic architectures could be an effective solution to this issue due to the excellent field-effect properties of 2D materials. However, 2D materials have limited polarity control. Here, we report a pseudo-CMOS architecture for sub-picowatt logic computing that uses self-biased molybdenum disulfide transistors. The transistors have a gapped channel that forms a tunable barrier — thus circumventing the polarity control of 2D materials — and exhibit a reverse saturation current below 1 pA with high reliability and endurance. We use the devices to make homojunction-loaded inverters with good rail-to-rail operation at a switching threshold voltage of around 0.5 V, a static power of a few picowatts, a dynamic delay time of around 200 µs, a noise margin over 90%, and a peak voltage gain of 241. Additionally, fundamental gate circuits based on this pseudo-CMOS configuration are fabricated by integrating more devices.

Abstract

Background
Gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions (SELs) range from benign to malignant. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is used widely for pathological diagnosis of SELs. Early diagnosis and treatment are important because all Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have some degree of malignant potential. Diagnosing SELs with EUS-FNB is more difficult than diagnosing other tumors because an accurate diagnosis of GIST requires a sufficient tissue sample for immunostaining, which is part of the diagnostic protocol. Moreover, EUS-FNB is less accurate for diagnosis based on samples from SELs measuring ≤ 2 cm. However, our retrospective study showed that more than 50% of patients with SELs ≤ 2 cm were diagnosed as GIST. Therefore, EUS-FNB needles are required with adequate sampling in SELs measuring ≤ 2 cm. Previously, we conducted a retrospective single-center study of SELs measuring ≤ 2 cm, and reported that EUS-FNB with a Fork-tip needle was superior to that with a Franseen needle in that the former acquires sufficient sample. This multicenter comparative open-label superiority study is designed to verify whether a 22G Fork-tip needle is superior to a 22G Franseen needle with respect to sample acquisition.
Methods/design:
Present study will randomly assign for 110 patients (55 in the Fork-tip needle group and 55 in the Franseen needle group) with SELs measuring ≤ 2 cm, all of whom are managed at one of the 10 participating endoscopic centers. The primary endpoint evaluates the superiority of a 22G Fork-tip needle over a 22G Franseen needle for collection of an adequate tissue specimen at the first puncture. The secondary endpoints compare successful puncture rate, procedure completion rate, number of adverse events, diagnostic suitability of the first puncture specimen for GIST, and the number of punctures required until adequate specimen collection.
Discussion
The outcomes may provide insight into the optimal needle choice for diagnosis of SELs ≤ 2 cm, thereby aiding development of practice guidelines. Present study is expected to promote early definitive diagnosis of GISTs, thereby increasing the number of cases that can receive curative treatment and improving prognosis.

Targeting ESM1 via SOX4 promotes the progression of infantile hemangioma through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Authors: Li Yanan , Kong Meng , Qiu Tong , Ji Yi 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background
Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most prevalent benign vascular tumour in children, yet its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Research has established a strong association between SOX4 and tumour blood vessel formation. However, the specific role of SOX4 in IH progression has not been clearly defined. The objective of this study was to investigate the function and underlying mechanism of SOX4 in IH development, with the aim of identifying novel therapeutic targets and facilitating drug development.
Methods
The transcription factor SOX4, which is associated with IH, was identified through RNA-seq screening of IH microtumours and validated in IH tissue samples. Cell experiments were conducted to investigate the impact of SOX4 on the biological behavior of CD31+ HemECs and the PI3K/AKT pathway. Furthermore, RNA-seq analysis was performed on CD31+ HemECs exhibiting low levels of SOX4, leading to the identification of the downstream gene ESM1, which is regulated by SOX4. The targeting relationship between SOX4 and ESM1 was confirmed through database predictions and ChIP-PCR assays. Finally, the influence of the SOX4-ESM1 signaling axis on tumour growth was further elucidated through 3D microtumour models and tumour formation experiments in nude mice.
Results
During the proliferating phase, SOX4 was highly expressed in IH tissue samples and was shown to enhance the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of CD31+ HemECs in vitro. SOX4 was observed to bind to the promoter of ESM1, thereby transcriptionally upregulating the ESM1-mediated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and ultimately promoting the progression of IH. The pro-proliferative effect of SOX4 on CD31+ HemECs was dependent on the expression of ESM1. Through IH 3D microtumour and in vitro animal experiments, it was demonstrated that both SOX4 and ESM1 are tumourigenic genes that independently promote tumour progression and that tumour growth could be partially reversed by knocking down SOX4 and overexpressing ESM1.
Conclusions
SOX4 plays a crucial role in the progression of IH, and the SOX4/ESM1 axis may serve as a novel biomarker and potential therapeutic target for IH.

Published: May 2024

Abstract

As a country with large carbon emissions, China has made promises on carbon peaking and carbon neutralization. Since a joint power-carbon market is designed to facilitate energy-consuming enterprises (ECE) to take actions on energy saving and carbon reduction (ESCR), the investigation of the behavior evolution of different enterprise groups is of significance in predicting and evaluating the effects of carbon reduction based on the implementation of various policy packs. Consequently, within the current market and policy framework, this study establishes an evolutionary game model for ECE based on authentic Chinese data. Accordingly, the stability as well as the externality of strategy evolution are analyzed. In the case of China, results are obtained as follows: (1) The initial proportion of ECE enrolled in the ESCR strategy imposes profound impacts on the dynamic evolutionary trajectory of the system. (2) Initial strategy selections on the ESCR of high energy-consuming enterprises (HECE) or common energy-consuming enterprises (CECE) would be distracted when the key parameters, such as the power price incentive factor or carbon price are greater than the threshold value. (3) With the swift growth of the capacity and penetration of renewable energy in the grid, economically friendly policies are recommended to be given prior consideration to aggressive environmental drafts after carbon peaking.

Abstract

The linear economy follows the “take-make-dispose” model generates huge amounts of waste without consideration for recycling or reuse. This model which deals with raw materials puts pressure on natural resources and creates a serious environmental impact. In a circular economy, “reduce-reuse-recycle” model is applied to recycle waste into resources and reduce the impact on the environment and society. This work aims to highlight the significance of implementing a circular economy approach in the construction sector by merging two different production lines, notably mining activity and agri-food industry. The investigation presents a sustainable management of coal gangue (CG) and olive pomace (OP) in the production of eco-friendly fired materials and introduces an innovative approach for manufacturing lightweight fired bricks. Microstructural, physical, mechanical and thermal properties were determined to evaluate the technological quality of fired materials at 900°C. As a pore-forming agent, adding 10 wt% OP yielded specimens with a bulk density of 1552 kg/m³, water absorption of 19.80%, apparent porosity of 29.61%, loss on ignition of 26.98%, and compressive strength of 7.08 MPa, satisfying standards for clay masonry units. Simultaneously, it enhances the thermal insulation by reducing thermal conductivity by 18% compared to the control sample with CG. In this regard, the transition to a greener construction sector necessitates the immediate implementation of a circular economy approach to developing eco-friendly building materials by recovering large amounts of industrial waste, limiting the overuse of natural resources (e.g., clays), and improving the engineering properties of the final product.
