<p> </p>
<p>Given the rise of online influencers, this research aims to analyze non-human social media influencers. Using a qualitative in-depth content analysis of Instagram images and captions, we analyze the social presence strategies—affective, interactive, and cohesive strategies—and the social media influencer advertising practices of top animal influencers. While all three social presence strategies were used, animal influencers most often employed affective and cohesive strategies. The results suggest that emotion and community are more important than interaction for animal influencers. Most of the influencers engaged in social media advertising by sharing brand-related posts, yet their social media feeds do not overly feature advertising messages. As an implication of the research, the research shows how animal influencers grow their parasocial relationships with followers in a way that is beneficial to brands. Thus the research reveals the role that digital animal influencers play in the social customer journey for the brands that work with them.</p>

Because of the high-speed aircrafts, the distance to the other side of the world seems to be closer, as if it were situated just next door. Aerospace engineering has undergone a revolution thanks to research into airfoils. This research work has been focused on analyzing the aerodynamic performances of the NACA 4415 airfoil in turbulent flows while Mach numbers, and Reynolds numbers, have been taken into account. The chord length of and have been considered for this study. Computational fluid dynamics were employed to determine the lift, drag, and pitching moment forces, as well as their respective non-dimensional coefficients. As a result, maximum lift, moment forces have been found after the angle of attacks, and stagnation areas are increasing dramatically behind the airfoil, proportion to the increments with the angle of attack. Additionally, the effects of pressure and velocity on every point of the airfoil's surface were studied through the analysis of pressure and velocity contours.

Authors: Gulia Annu , Srivastava Manyata , Kumar Pradeep 
Published: March 2024

Background and AimThe prognostic potential of cardiac troponin (cTn) in acute stroke patients has been a subject of ongoing debate. Our objective was to provide a comprehensive evidence for predicting mortality in acute stroke patients by using the elevated troponin levels.MethodsWe conducted an extensive literature search, including PubMed, EMbase, and Trip Databases, covering studies published up to September 30, 2023. We computed risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), performed sensitivity analysis, and conducted trial sequential analysis (TSA).ResultsIn total, 53 studies were analyzed, with 37 focusing on acute ischemic stroke (AIS), 11 on subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and 7 on Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Elevated cTn levels were significantly showed a higher predictive risk for In-hospital mortality in both AIS (RR=3.80, 95% CI; 2.82 to 5.12) as well as SAH (RR=2.23, 95% CI; 1.64 to 3.02). However, no significant predictive risk between elevated cTn levels and in-hospital mortality for ICH patients (RR=1.13, 95% CI: 0.46 to 2.79). A similar pattern was observed for elevated cTn levels, indicating an increased risk of last follow-up mortality for AIS (RR=2.41, 95% CI: 1.98 to 2.93) and SAH (RR=3.08, 95% CI: 2.25 to 4.21).ConclusionElevated troponin levels can serve as a promising predictive marker for both in-hospital and last follow-up mortality in AIS and SAH patients but not in ICH patients. Further prospective studies are needed to validate our findings along with exploring the preventive management of mortality in acute stroke settings.

Published: March 2024

BackgroundMultiple studies have confirmed the significant role of cathepsins in the development and progression of digestive system tumors. However, further investigation is needed to determine the causal relationships.MethodsWe conducted a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study using pooled data from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to assess the causal associations between nine cathepsins (cathepsin B, E, F, G, H, L2, O, S, and Z) and six types of digestive system tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pancreatic cancer (PCa), biliary tract cancer (BTC), colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric carcinoma (GC), and esophageal cancer (EC). We employed the following methods including inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR-Egger, weighted median (WM), Cochran’s Q, MR-PRESSO, MR-Egger intercept test and leave-one-out sensitivity analysis. The STROBE-MR checklist for the reporting of MR studies was used in this study.ResultsThe risk of HCC increased with high levels of cathepsin G (IVW: p = 0.029, odds ratio (OR) = 1.369, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.033-1.814). Similarly, BTC was associated with elevated cathepsin B levels (IVW: p = 0.025, OR = 1.693, 95% CI = 1.070-2.681). Conversely, a reduction in PCa risk was associated with increased cathepsin H levels (IVW: p = 0.027, OR = 0.896, 95% CI = 0.812-0.988). Lastly, high levels of cathepsin L2 were found to lower the risk of CRC (IVW: p = 0.034, OR = 0.814, 95% CI = 0.674-0.985).ConclusionOur findings confirm the causal relationship between cathepsins and digestive system tumors, which can offer valuable insights for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive system tumors.

Published: March 2024

BackgroundWorking memory is a crucial element of cognitive function. Previous cross-sectional studies have identified various determinants of working memory in children and adolescents. Nonetheless, no study has yet demonstrated the causal relationship of social determinants with working memory in adolescents.ObjectiveThis study explores the causal link between the level of education, smoking, and other factors with adolescent’s working memory.MethodsThis study analyzed secondary data from waves 4 and 5 of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS), utilizing cross-lagged analysis in Jamovi version 2.4.8. The variables included working memory score, maternal education, household income, stress, educational level, smoking, urbanicity, and physical activity. These variables were extracted from IFLS waves 4 and 5, and each dependent variable in IFLS wave four was controlled by the same dependent variables in IFLS 5. Then, we used cross-lagged analysis to assess the causality between each dependent variable and a working memory score in IFLS wave 5.ResultThe findings indicate that level of education had a positive impact on working memory in adolescents aged 15–18 years, with a Beta value of 0.18 (95% CI 0.81–0.2; p &lt; 0.001). Smoking and age were negatively associated with working memory, with Beta values of −0.07 (95% CI -0.65 -0.04; p &lt; 0.029) and − 0.10 (95% CI -0.25 -0.05; p &lt; 0.003), respectively. No evidence was found for a significant correlation between poverty and adolescents’s working memory.ConclusionThe findings indicate that increased education levels are associated with improved working memory in adolescents aged 15–18. At the same time, smoking has a negative impact on working memory in this age group.

Published: March 2024

Trapezoidal positive/negative fuzzy numbers have no single definition; instead, various authors define them in relation to different concepts. This means that arithmetic operations for trapezoidal fuzzy numbers also differ. For the operations of addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication, there are not many differences; for multiplication, however, there are many differences. In general, multiplication is divided into various cases. For the inverse operation, there is not much to define; in general, for any trapezoidal fuzzy number u~, u~⊗1u~=i~=(1,1,0,0) does not necessarily apply. As a result of the different arithmetic operations for multiplication and division employed by various authors, several researchers have tackled the same problem and reached different solutions, meaning that the application will also produce different results. To date, many authors have proposed various alternatives for the algebra of the trapezoidal fuzzy number. In this paper, using the parametric form approach to trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, an alternative to multiplication with only one formula is constructed for various cases. Furthermore, based on the definition of multiplication for any trapezoidal fuzzy number, u~ is constructed 1u~ so that u~⊗1u~=i~=(1,1,0,0). Based on these conditions, we show that various properties that apply to real numbers also apply to any trapezoidal fuzzy number. Furthermore, we modify the elementary row operational steps for the trapezoidal fuzzy number matrix, which can be used to determine the inverse of a trapezoidal fuzzy number matrix with the order m×m. We also give the steps and examples necessary to determine the general inverse for a trapezoidal fuzzy number matrix of the order m×n with m ≠n. This ability to easily determine the inverse and general inverse of a trapezoidal fuzzy number matrix has a number of applications, such as solving fully trapezoidal fuzzy number linear systems and fuzzy transportation problems, especially in applications in fields outside of mathematics; for example, the application of triangular fuzzy numbers in medical problems is a topic currently receiving a significant amount of attention.

Snakebite envenoming (SBE) is a neglected tropical disease (NTD). Community-based studies from sub-Saharan Africa are urgently required as data on the incidence are scarce. This study aimed to determine the lifetime prevalence of snakebites in rural Gabon by preparing the conduct of a larger regional survey. A cross-sectional community-based epidemiological survey in Sindara, Ngounie province, was conducted. Households were interviewed about the history of snakebites of household members to calculate lifetime prevalence. In addition, the average annual incidence rate per 100,000 over the last 5 years was calculated. A total of 771 inhabitants were enrolled, of which 5 (0.65%; 95% confidence interval (95% CI: 0.2–1.5%)) were victims of snakebites. Over the past 5 years, annual incidence was 77 bites per 100,000 (95% CI: 0–620). This study provides a first rough estimate of the incidence of SBE from rural central Gabon, demonstrating the importance of this NTD. Key Contribution: The estimated annual incidence of snakebites found was 77 per 100,000. Snakebites occurred mainly during agricultural activities.
