Published: June 2024

Abstract

Big Five personality classifications often rely on capturing users' facial expressions or other private data. However, in real-life scenarios, individuals may not want their facial expressions recorded due to concerns about accidental data leakage. Furthermore, speech-based personality classification models face new challenges in real-life multilingual environments. We have developed a multimodal Big Five personality classification model that can be applied to multilingual environments. The model relies solely on speech for personality classification. The combination of paralinguistic information from speech and semantic information from transcribed text can provide sufficient information for predicting personality tendencies. The multilingual large-scale pre-trained models, Emotion2vec and Bert, are utilized by the model to process data in speech and text modalities, respectively. The models are trained on the First Impressions monolingual speech dataset and then fine-tuned on the multilingual real dataset, which contains live slices of 512 virtual anchors. The model achieves 60.13% and 52.40% accuracy in low-resource scenarios, respectively. Furthermore, as the length of the audio increases, the accuracy of the model can improve up to 68.86% in real-life scenarios. This potential can be used to develop streaming personality classification models in the future. Personality monitoring has a wide range of applications, including assisting healthcare professionals in providing personalized treatment plans and in consumer psychology to analyze audience segments for businesses.

Abstract

Background
Infliximab therapy is effective in controlling symptoms and attaining clinical remission of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. However, treatment adherence is essential to achieve the therapeutic objective. This study aimed to determine the rate of adherence to infliximab treatment in patients treated at a referral center at a university hospital.
Method
This ambispective cohort study included patients treated at the Professor Edgard Santos University Hospital (HUPES) referral center of our university hospital between March 2022 and February 2023. Sociodemographic, clinical, and pharmacotherapeutic data were collected from patients through interviews and medical record reviews using a structured form. The adherence rate was defined as the proportion of days covered in a year. Patients who achieved an adherence rate > 80% were considered adherent.
Results
The treatment adherence rate was 91.04%. Individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases had a 39.1% higher risk of non-adherence to treatment compared with other patients. Most patients achieved remission or control of the underlying disease activity and had good functional capacities. The main reason for absence on the scheduled date was difficulty traveling to the referral center.
Conclusions
Despite the reported difficulties, treatment adherence was observed to be high. As the study was conducted in a reference unit with multidisciplinary care and continuous monitoring for treatment effectiveness, safety, and adherence, welcoming and good communication between professionals and patients may have contributed to the high adherence rate.

Abstract

Background: The storage time of banked donor human milk (DHM) administered in an academic hospital to critically ill preterm neonates was previously unknown.
Objective: This study was designed to determine the storage time of banked DHM by measurements obtained at the hospital level (by lot finish date) and individual patient level (by feeding date) over 2-year observation period.
Results: Both methods of measuring storage time (hospital-level and patient-level) showed that DHM was stored on average 8 ±1 months before use. Variations in storage time fluctuated across months with a minimum and maximum storage duration of 119 to 317 days. Most infants received a median of 3 [2-5 IQR] unique lots of DHM.
Conclusion: The storage time of DHM was successfully measured. Over 95% of DHM received was stored longer than 6 months. Storage times varied widely, uncovering a potential area of future research.

Abstract

The stem borer Apate terebrans is a pest of tropical regions that considerably limits the production of cashew tree, an important crop for climate change adaptation. This study assessed the effects of cashew tree density on the damage of A. terebrans, for the effective and sustainable management of this insect pest. The density was characterised by the quadrat method in 10 orchards in the localities of Bondoukou and Bouna, in the north-east of Côte d'Ivoire. Based on systematic sampling, monthly counts of A. terebrans infestations were conducted on 1924 cashew trees from July 2018 to June 2020. Temperature and hygrometry were recorded over this period. In Bondoukou, an average density of 515 ± 235.5 cashew trees/ha was recorded, with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 58.64%. This density was significantly higher than that of Bouna (235 ± 39.6 cashew trees/ha), which showed low heterogeneity (CV = 29.44%). Temperature was higher in Bouna than in Bondoukou and vice versa for hygrometry. Linear regression showed a moderate and significant relationship between cashew tree density and damage, mainly in the locality with high spatial heterogeneity (i.e. Bondoukou). Thus, a high density reduces damage. The Morisita and Blackman indices indicated a distribution of damage that tended to be aggregated in Bondoukou and random in Bouna. By establishing the implication of cashew tree density in the control of A. terebrans damage, this work provides perspectives for the landscaping of cashew orchards, with a view to natural control of this pest.

Abstract

Background Child abuse in Taiwan presents a critical societal issue and stresses profound adverse effects on children's welfare. Despite the complexity in detecting abuse, reports of child abuse are increasing, evidenced by a rise in cases and heightened awareness. This study utilizes judicial judgments as a lens to understand the varied interpretations of child abuse by clinical and forensic experts and explores the broader epidemiological trends of such abuse within the declining youth population of Taiwan.Methods We conducted a retrospective study by analyzing official court judgments on child abuse allegations judged from 2008 to 2022 from the online database of Judicial Yuan. Furthermore, the study analyzed demographic factors, injury patterns, and opinions from various experts.Results The results reveal that severe criminal cases of child abuse predominantly involve biological fathers as the primary offenders and physical abuse as the most common form of maltreatment. Victims are typically aged less than 5 years, which frequently leads to an unfavorable prognosis. Analysis also highlights the TEN-4-FACESp acronym as a highly predictive indicator of child abuse and underscores the prevalence of AHT. Moreover, the findings emphasize ongoing disparities in opinions between forensic medical examiners and clinical physicians, especially in AHT cases, which potentially influences judicial decisions.Conclusions In summary, the study reveals ongoing disagreements between forensic medical examiners and clinical physicians, especially in cases of AHT, which may impact judicial decisions. Clinicians appear to have a more evidence-based understanding of the clinical manifestations of AHT compared to forensic medical examiners. Promoting consensus through interdisciplinary collaboration and improved communication can aid in revealing the truth in child abuse cases.

Abstract

Determining the factors influencing habitat selection and foraging success in top predators is crucial for understanding how these species may respond to environmental perturbations. For marine top predators, such factors have been documented in pelagic foragers, with habitat use and foraging success being linked to chlorophyll-a concentrations, sea surface temperature and light conditions. In contrast, little is known of the determinants in benthic marine predators. The Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) has a breeding and foraging distribution largely restricted to Bass Strait, the shallow (max. depth 80 m) continental shelf region between the Australian mainland and Tasmania. The species forages almost exclusively on benthic prey and represents the greatest resident marine predator biomass in south-eastern Australia. The region is also one of the world’s fastest-warming marine areas and oceanographic changes are influencing shifts in prey distribution and abundance. In the present study, GPS-derived locations of benthic dives (n = 288,449) and dive behaviour metrics were used to determine seafloor habitat selection and factors influencing foraging success in 113 lactating adult females from Kanowna Island during the winters of 2006–2021. Individuals non-randomly selected foraging habitats comprised of deeper, steeper sloped, muddy-sandy areas with less gravel (P < 0.01). Foraging success was greatest in shallower rocky reefs (< 30 m) and deep areas (> 40 m) characterized by moderate presence of gravel (25–50%) and substantial rock composition (50–75%) on the seabed. These findings suggest that habitat use and foraging success in adult female Australian fur seals could be impacted by oceanographic changes that alter sea-floor characteristics and benthic communities.

Authors: Zhu Wenke , Wang Yuchen 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is a prevalent shoulder injury, with a range of suture button techniques available for treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of a novel suture button technique, the FengChao button technique.
Methods
Between December 2019 and December 2021, 25 patients with AC joint dislocation were treated using the arthroscopic triple FengChao button technique. Clinical outcomes measured included UCLA and CMS scores, operative time, and the incidence of complications. Radiological assessment focused on the coracoclavicular (CC) distance.
Results
The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 19 months, with an average of 13.3 months. One patient required an open revision due to postoperative trauma. The mean operative time was 52.34 ± 13.76 minutes. The UCLA score improved significantly from a preoperative average of 19.32 ± 2.45 to 31.67 ± 2.38 at the final follow-up (P < 0.05). Similarly, the CMS score increased from 75.23 ± 2.34 preoperatively to 92.73 ± 2.96 at the final follow-up (P < 0.05). The CC distance narrowed from a preoperative measurement of 21.34 ± 1.32 mm to 9.23 ± 1.13 mm two to four days postoperatively (P < 0.05), and further to 11.93 ± 1.03 mm at the final follow-up (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
The arthroscopic triple FengChao button technique for AC joint dislocation offers satisfactory short-term functional outcomes.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by excessive parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, traditionally associated with hypercalcemia and consequential skeletal and renal complications. While the typical manifestations of PHPT are well-documented, instances of its co-occurrence with bilateral staghorn calculi are infrequently reported.
Case presentation:
We present the case of a 64-year-old Hispanic female who presented with abdominal pain and sepsis. Subsequent investigations revealed bilateral staghorn calculi on abdominal computed tomography. Metabolic profiling demonstrated hypercalcemia (10.8 mmol/L), elevated intact PTH levels (132.3 pg/mL), normal phosphorus (2.6 mmol/L), and vitamin D levels (43.5 IU). Urinary cultures isolated extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) E. coli, and seven days of Ertapenem was administered. Suspecting PHPT, a parathyroid 14-sestamibi single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was performed, disclosing a 6 mm right inferior parathyroid mass indicative of a parathyroid adenoma. Initiation of Cinacalcet therapy resulted in a prompt decline in serum calcium levels within 48 hours. The patient was planned for surgical intervention involving parathyroidectomy and bilateral nephrolithotomy.
Conclusions
This case highlights the importance of comprehensive metabolic evaluation for patients presenting with bilateral staghorn calculi, emphasizes the need for a timely and tailored approach to urological and endocrinological management.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an adaptive and cytoprotective sensing-signaling network. Numerous studies have indicated the crucial role of UPR in the anti-tumor drug resistance and the modification of tumor microenvironment (TME). The aim of this study is to analyze the alterations of microenvironment and key regulatory genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with high UPR activity.
Methods
We profiled differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by UPR activity, and the biological functions of DEGs and the alterations of signaling pathways were explored. The Immune/Stromal scores and relative abundance of infiltrating cells of HCC tissues with RNA sequencing data downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were calculated by the xCell and ESTIMATE algorithm. The correlations between the prognostic UPR-related genes with the microenvironment scores and infiltrating cells were analyzed using R package “corrplot”.
Results
Our results demonstrated that UPR-related genes mainly involved in immune-related signaling pathways. Microenvironment analysis revealed that HCC tissues with higher UPR activity had lower Stromal scores and the relative abundance of various infiltrating cells including hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), microvascular endothelial cells, endothelial cells (ECs) and adipocytes decreased most significantly. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that the decline of Stromal scores and corresponding infiltrating stromal cells would result in worse prognosis. The expression levels of CLEC3B, RAMP3, GPR182 and DNASE1L3 were significantly positively correlated with Stromal scores and various infiltrating stromal cells, and down-regulation of these genes were also associated with worse prognosis of HCC.
Conclusions
HCC with high UPR activity had lower Stromal scores and worse prognosis. Down-regulated genes CLEC3B, RAMP3, GPR182 and DNASE1L3 may play an important regulatory role in the modification of microenvironment of HCC with high UPR activity.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Investigating the impact of high-speed airflow on the contact pressure and arc state between the carbon slide plate of the pantograph and the contact network during high-speed train operation. By calculating the contact pressure and arc state models that are more aligned with the actual conditions, an experimental model of bow network arc considering the influence of high-speed airflow field is established. A MTF-TLBKA-DarkNet-GRU-MSA Transfer Learning fault detection model is proposed. A Markov transformation field (MTF) is applied to convert a one-dimensional contact voltage signal time series into a two-dimensional image graphically. A pre-trained DarkNet19 model is used as a starting point, and a gated recurrent unit network along with a multi-head self-attention mechanism layer are incorporated to enhance the model's recognition accuracy. For the challenging parameters in the model, such as the learning rate and the number of neurons in the gated recurrent unit network layer, an enhanced Black-winged Kite Algorithm is integrated to optimize the parameters and make the model more robust. Combining the weight sharing characteristics of the DarkNet19 model, migration learning is incorporated to enhance the convergence speed and generalization ability of the classification model. This approach is referred to as TLBKA-DarkNet-GRU-MSA Transfer Learning model is constructed. Finally, the generated 2D images are input into the proposed model for testing. At the same time, the proposed model and the other three models are tested against three groups of bow network arc models with different experimental conditions to verify that the proposed model demonstrates strong robustness and high accuracy.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Artemisia argyi is a critical medical plant in China, containing high levels of essential oils and flavone, and has been used to maintain health and well-being. MYB transcription factors are the largest gene family in plants and are widely reported to play important roles in development, metabolism, defense, and stress resistance. However, the MYB family of Artemisia argyi has not been systematically examined. In our study, we characterized 227 AYMYB transcription factors from Artemisia argyi genome data, containing 22 AY1R-MYB, 165 AYR2R3-MYB, 16 AY3R-MYB, 5 AY4R-MYB, and 19 Atypical AYMYB members. Protein molecular characteristics, prediction of subcellular localization, and chromosomal localization were accomplished using various bioinformatics tools. Collinearity analysis revealed that duplication events might greatly contribute to the MYB gene family expansion. The protein motifs, conserved domains, and gene structures of AYMYBs were identified, indicating that most AYMYB genes had similar gene distribution, which clustered in the same group that might have similar functions throughout these gene members. Cis-acting elements and GO analysis identified that AYMYBs participate in many biological processes associated with development, metabolism, defense, and stress resistance. Moreover, transcriptomic data elucidated that MYB genes were widely distributed across various tissues and development stages and highly expressed under MeJA treatment. The quantitative real-time qRT-PCR characterized the expression patterns that were aligned with the transcriptomic data, confirming the reliability of the data. Our research offers useful information for subsequent functional analysis of the MYB gene family in Artemisia argyi.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
Butterflies are an important part of ecosystem that acting as a pollinator, enhance environmental beauty as well as monitor the health of the ecosystem. The diversity and abundance of butterflies along with factors such as temperature, rainfall and vegetation cover demonstrate considerable variation across altitudinal gradients.
Results
The study examined the variation in Lycaenid butterflies over an elevation range of 200 to 1000 metres in the Miao Wildlife Range of Namdapha National Park, situated in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. In general, lycaenid diversity and abundance are higher in the intermediate elevations and progressively decrease as one ascends. A total of 66 species of Lycaenids were found, covering 35 genera and 6 subfamilies. Of these, 37 (56%) were found in the Polyommatinae, followed by Theclinae 21 (32%), Miletinae 3 (5%), Curetinae 2 (3%), Lycaeninae (2%) and Poritiinae (1%) covers the least number of species. Diversity of Lycaenids varies along an elevation gradient, with richness and abundance gradually decrease in higher elevation. Hence, among the four altitudinal gradients sites, Site II (intermediate elevation) had the most contribution to the total number of observed species (n = 48, 1-D = 0.97, H = 3.66), whereas Site IV (higher elevation) had the least number of species (n = 28, 1-D = 0.93, H = 3.17). On another hand, Site IV shows rich species evenness (e^H/S = 0.85) followed by Site III (e^H/S = 0.84), Site II (e^H/S = 0.81) and Site I (e^H/S = 0.75).
Conclusion
The research findings indicated that butterfly diversity showed increased variability at intermediate elevations, which gradually decreased with higher elevations, as demonstrated by diversity indices. We can conclude that elevation had an impact on the diversity and abundance of butterfly species. Furthermore, data on other abiotic/biotic factors along with adequate conservation measures should be taken to ensure better preservation of the biodiversity.
