The unique association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations and blood lipid profiles in agriculture, forestry, and fishing occupations: Insights from NHANES 2001–2014
Authors: Zhang Baoshan , Dong Xibin 
Published: February 2024

Background
The relationship of serum 25(OH)D levels and hyperlipidemia has not been explored in the Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing (AFF) occupation. We aimed to explore the impact of serum 25(OH)D levels on lipid profiles in AFF workers, traffic drivers, and miners.

Methods
Data from 3937 adults aged 18–65 years old with completed information were obtained from the National Health and Examination Survey from 2001 to 2014. Multivariate linear regression models were used to examine the associations between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and HDL-C/LDL-C ratio. Subgroup analyses for AFF workers considered age, sex, BMI, work activity, months worked, and alcohol consumption. Non-linear relationships were explored using curve fitting.

Results
Serum 25(OH)D levels differed between groups (AFF: 60.0 ± 21.3 nmol/L, drivers: 56.6 ± 22.2 nmol/L, miners: 62.8 ± 22.3 nmol/L). Subgroup analysis of the AFF group showed that participants with serum 25(OH)D ≥50 nmol/L, females, and BMI <30 kg/m2 demonstrated improved HDL-C levels correlating with higher serum 25(OH)D. Serum 25(OH)D in AFF workers had a reversed U-shaped relationship with TG and TC, and a U-shaped relationship with HDL-C, with HDL-C, with inflection points at 49.5 nmol/L for TG and TC, and 32.6 nmol/L for HDL-C.

Conclusions
Serum 25(OH)D levels are associated with lipid profiles, and the relationship varies among occupational groups. AFF workers, facing unique occupational challenges, may benefit from maintaining adequate serum 25(OH)D levels to mitigate adverse lipid profiles and reduce cardiovascular risk.

Introduction
Timely access to maternity care is critical to saving lives. Digital health may serve to bridge the care chasm and advance health equity. Conducted in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, this cross-sectional mixed-methods study assessed the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in healthcare facilities in nine Latin American and Caribbean countries to understand the landscape of ICT use in maternity care and the barriers and facilitators to its adoption.

Materials and methods
Between April 2021 and September 2022, we disseminated an online survey in English and Spanish among, mainly public, healthcare institutions that provided maternity care in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guyana, Honduras, Paraguay and Peru. We also interviewed 27 administrators and providers in ministries of health and healthcare institutions.

Results
Most of the 1877 institutions that answered the survey reported using ICTs in maternity care (N = 1536, 82%), ranging from 96% in Peru to 64% in the Dominican Republic. Of institutions that used ICTs, 59% reported using them more than before or for the first time since the pandemic began. ICTs were most commonly used to provide family planning (64%) and breastfeeding (58%) counseling, mainly by phone (82%). At the facility level, availability of equipment and internet coverage, coupled with skilled human resources, were the main factors associated with ICT use. At country level, government-led initiatives to develop digital health platforms, alongside national investments in the digital infrastructure, were the determining factors in the adoption of ICTs in healthcare provision.

Conclusion
Digital health for maternity care provision relied on commonly available technology and did not necessitate highly sophisticated systems, making it a sustainable and replicable strategy. However, disparities in access to digital health remain and many facilities in rural and remote areas lacked connectivity. Use of ICTs in maternity care depended on countries’ long-term commitments to achieving universal health and digital coverage.

Deforestation is a complex problem worldwide caused mostly by the increase in farming activities. Despite the Brazilian Cerrado being the most biodiverse savanna in the world, this biome is threatened by high deforestation rates. The present study aimed to evaluate deforestation in in São Francisco municipality – Minas Gerais state in Brazil's southwestern region, analyzing changes in land cover between 2012 and 2020 focusing on forest, savanna, and grassland physiognomies, and predicting changes in the land cover for the year 2030. It was evaluated metrics of density and size, edge, shape, core area, and proximity. The forest and savanna fragments suffered a reduction in area (0.92% and 12.60%, respectively) and core area, and also increased its proximity. On the other hand, the grassland physiognomy increased its total area (12.72%), nuclear area, and distance from the other fragments. In general, the forest fragment and savanna fragments tended to be elongated and irregular. For 2030, a scenario is predicted with increasing grassland and decreasing forest and savanna. Those changes in the landscape can threaten the region's biodiversity, so public policy attention is needed to the conservation of the fragmented areas.
Development of a new damping ratio prediction model for recycled aggregate concrete: Incorporating modified admixtures and carbonation effects
Authors: Ma Yawei , Wang Jian , Peng Xuyi , Si Binxin 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) has been widely used in practical engineering construction. However, the ability of buildings to resist wind-induced vibration and earthquake effects plays an important role in building safety. It is urgent to ensure that recycled concrete still has good anti-vibration ability within the allowable strength range. By conducting damping tests on recycled concrete specimens, the results show that the damping performance of RAC is better improved compared with natural aggregate concrete. Moreover, the influence of internal factors of recycled aggregates and external environmental conditions on damping performance can be determined, and corresponding damping ratio prediction models can be constructed. However, the current prediction models still have limitations in theory and practice. The existing damping ratio prediction models have a large span of independent variables and do not consider the gradual carbonation effect in the actual environment over time. To overcome these limitations, a new damping ratio prediction model is proposed. Based on the replacement rate of recycled aggregates (RAs) and the amplitude of excitation force, the influence of modified admixtures and carbonation on damping performance is considered, and the corresponding model prediction formula is constructed. In addition, the influence mechanism is further demonstrated and explained from the macroscopic aspect of specimen profile and the microscopic aspect of electron microscopy tests. It is found that, considering both strength and cost factors, recycled concrete still has good damping performance when the replacement rate of recycled aggregates (RAs) is 40%.
Influence of metal magnesium addition on detonation initiation in shock wave focusing Pulse Detonation Engine
Authors: Wu Yun-Kai , Zhang Yun-Tian , Du Peng , Cao Xi-Wei , Xue Rui 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The process of shock wave focusing can make the strength of shock waves be continuously accumulated and turned into detonation wave in Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE). However, its effective application needs the inlet jets be in high temperature and velocity, which is difficult to be satisfied under certain conditions. Therefore, in this paper, metal magnesium assisted detonation initiation is proposed and the effect of magnesium particle addition on the shock wave focusing process in a kerosene-fueled PDE with cavity configuration is investigated through numerical simulation. The result showed that when the temperature of the premixed fuel/air jets injected in opposite direction was set as 650 K, the collision of leading shock waves on the central axis was the main source of energy deposition and the shock wave focusing could make the detonation be initiated in the cavity. When the temperature of jets is reduced to 550 K, fuel ignition and detonation could not be achieved through shock wave focusing. Then adding metal magnesium particles into the combustor made the energy deposition be enhanced and the detonation be induced. The diffusion of metal particles can significantly change the structure, motion, merging and dissipation of vortices in the flow field. Generally, the shock wave focusing process is basically not affected with metal particles injection. Therefore, this method can be successfully employed for detonation initiation in the cavity when the fuel/air premixed jet temperature is not high for PDE.

Published: February 2024

Purpose- This research aimed to create a scientific dialogue between the Tamyiz Method - as a fast method for learning Arabic Qawaid - and the Nahwu renewal concept initiated by Syauqi Dhayf.
Design/Methodology/Approach- This research used qualitative methods with the type of library research. Data collection was by collecting and reading library materials related to the research theme, making notes, and analyzing them deductively using Miles and Haberman's analysis stages.
Findings- The results of this research stated that the Tamyiz 1 material could apply the six principles of Nahwu Syauqi Dhayf renewal except for “the elimination of i'rob taqdiri or mahalli analysis”, because the learning material in Tamyiz 1 – which aimed to be smart tarjamah of the Quran – did not introduce i'rob analysis. The rest principles – such as reformulation, reorientation, redefinition, deleting additional materials that do not lead to achieve learning objectives, and adding material considered significant in achieving learning objectives – could be seen in several structures of Tamyiz 1 materials, such as the addition of the mujarrod chapter to find the original letter of a sentence, focuses the material on identifying harf, fiil and isim with its characteristics and patterns (wazan) which have a high frequency of appearance in the QS. Al-Baqarah. Several other chapters known in the classical nahwu standards are not taught because the materials are focused and arranged concisely to achieving Tamyiz 1 learning objectives.
Research Implications- The results of this research have implications for The results of this research have implications for learning qawaid with the 'fast method' which has been developed by many Arabic language scholars, including the Tamyiz Method. The results of this research can provide an epistemological explanation regarding fast Nahwu learning methods.
Ondansetron and the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death among Individuals Receiving Maintenance Hemodialysis
Authors: Ismail Sherin , Funk Michele Jonsson , Flythe Jennifer E. 
Published: February 2024

Key Points

In hemodialysis, ondansetron initiation versus initiation of lesser QT-prolonging antiemetics associated with higher 10-day sudden cardiac death risk.Analyses considering additional cardiac outcomes had consistent findings.

Background
Individuals receiving hemodialysis have a high incidence of sudden cardiac death and are susceptible to QT interval–prolonging medication–related cardiac complications. Ondansetron, an antiemetic with known QT-prolonging potential, is associated with fatal arrhythmias in the general population when administered intravenously. The cardiac safety of ondansetron in the hemodialysis population is unknown.

Methods
We conducted a new-user, active-comparator, cohort study using United States Renal Data System data (2012–2019) to examine the association between the initiation of oral ondansetron versus antiemetics with lesser QT-prolonging potential (promethazine, metoclopramide, or prochlorperazine) and the 10-day risk of sudden cardiac death among individuals receiving hemodialysis. We used inverse probability of treatment-weighted survival models to estimate adjusted hazard ratios, risk differences, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We used an intention-to-treat approach in which non-sudden cardiac death was considered a competing event. We examined additional cardiac outcomes in secondary analyses.

Results
Of 119,254 study patients, 64,978 (55%) initiated ondansetron and 54,276 (45%) initiated a comparator antiemetic. Initiation of ondansetron versus a comparator antiemetic was associated with higher relative and absolute 10-day risks of sudden cardiac death (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.44 [95% CI, 1.08 to 1.93]; adjusted risk difference, 0.06% [95% CI, 0.01% to 0.11%]). The number needed to harm was 1688. Analyses of additional cardiac outcomes yielded similar findings.

Conclusions
Compared with initiation of antiemetics with lesser QT-prolonging potential, initiation of ondansetron was associated with higher short-term cardiac risks among people receiving hemodialysis.

Método: para este estudio se utilizó el diseño de investigación cuantitativa con enfoque empírico analítico y tipo descriptivo, se empleó un cuestionario para percepciones sobre la calidad de vida laboral. Las categorías que se tuvieron en cuenta para evaluar los constructos fueron: condiciones de trabajo, entorno de trabajo seguro y saludable, seguridad en el empleo, vida personal y relación persona-trabajo. En este estudio participaron 172 trabajadores. Resultados: se encontró que los trabajadores valoran potencialmente más la calidad de vida laboral subjetiva que a la calidad de vida objetiva, destacando aspectos vinculados con la contratación y el salario, los recursos y las herramientas de trabajo, así como la estabilidad laboral, los cuales se configuran como factores protectores de la calidad de vida laboral. Además, se identificó la importancia de potenciar la calidad de vida laboral en este sector, enfocándose en aspectos relativos a la seguridad y salud en el trabajo, la promoción de estilos de vida saludables, el bienestar laboral y la conciliación entre el trabajo y la familia. Conclusiones: la calidad de vida laboral influye positivamente en la productividad y la competitividad de la organización, así como en la gestión del talento humano. Las fuentes primordiales de calidad de vida laboral se derivan de la perspectiva subjetiva, y al integrarse con condiciones objetivas, se convierten en elementos fundamentales de los programas de gestión del talento humano, así como de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo. Estas también sirven como puntos de intervención que contribuyen al desarrollo tanto humano como organizacional.
Japanese and Indonesian Prohibitive Expressions on Prohibition Signs at Train Stations: A Linguistic Landscape Study
Authors: Afifah Muthi 
Published: February 2024

This article focuses on the expressions of prohibition signs in Japan and Indonesia. Based on the Politeness Theory of Brown Levinson (1987), consideration for the other conversation participants is expected if the speaker tells them not to do something in personal communication. In contrast, the expressions on prohibition signs in public spaces did not need such consideration and can be done “without redressive, baldly”. However, many prohibitions signs use polite expressions. Japanese has “keigo” system that adjusts the usage of vocabulary depending on whom the listener is, while Indonesian does not have that system although polite expression is commonly used. This article aims to resolve those differences and compares the expression of prohibitions signs, especially in train stations, which displayed many prohibited signs from cautions, and manners expressions. The data in this study were collected at Tokyo station-Tokyo and Osaka station-Osaka in Japan, and Gambir station-Jakarta and Gubeng station-Surabaya in Indonesia. The results found that the prohibition signs at railway stations in Indonesia used prohibitive expressions with and without honorific expressions almost equally. On the other hand, Japan’s railway stations used more prohibitive expressions with honorifics on their prohibition signs. In Japan railway stations, the use of honorific expressions on prohibition signs is part of their service and to appeal that they are a railway company with good service.

Published: February 2024

Gairaigo, or loanwords borrowed from foreign languages, have become a ubiquitous feature of the Japanese language, with English being the most significant influence. The use of English loanwords in Japanese advertising has become increasingly common, with many commercials and other promotional materials incorporating gairaigo in their messaging. This study aims to explore the prevalence and significance of gairaigo derived from English in Japanese advertising, examining its benefits and drawbacks, and its global implications. This study utilized qualitative approach. The method used was descriptive method. Data collection technique through literature study. Data obtained online through various academic database, a total of 19 books and 26 scientific articles, and be analysed using descriptive analyse technique. This study found important benefits of gairaigo in Japanese advertising, that are: increase product appeal to younger generations, more effective communication with international audiences, and enhanced global image of Japanese brands. However, there are also drawbacks, that are: limited accessibility for non-English speakers, potential language erosion and loss of cultural identity, and negative impact on traditional Japanese businesses. Furthermore, the global implications of gairaigo in Japanese advertising are also significant, with the influence of Japanese advertising on global marketing trends and cultural exchange and cross-linguistic communication. Overall, while the use of gairaigo in Japanese advertising can bring numerous benefits, it is important to carefully consider its potential drawbacks and cultural implications for both domestic and global audiences. By understanding the impact of gairaigo on Japanese advertising, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between language, culture, and marketing in a global context. Further research is needed to continue exploring the impact and implications of gairaigo in Japanese advertising.

Authors: Glushchenko Valery Vladimirovich 
Published: February 2024

The purpose of the article is to create a scientific theory of lean production of goods and services (the theory of thrift), from the perspective of Japanese culture which is applicable in higher education and agriculture. Currently, a new technological way is being formed. One of the key concepts of this technological way will be the scientific theory of lean manufacturing, which can be created based on the analysis of the practice of lean manufacturing of the Toyota automobile company. The analysis of the directions of crisis management indicates the growing relevance of the introduction of lean manufacturing of goods and services in all new areas of activity, in particular in higher education and agriculture as a part of Japanese culture. However, fragmentary implementation of lean manufacturing ideas can be inefficient. This necessitates the development of the concept and content of the general theory of lean production of goods and services in higher education and agriculture. The article describes the functions, roles, and structural elements of the general theory of lean production of goods and services, a conceptual approach to the introduction of lean production of goods and services in higher education and agriculture as a part of Japanese culture is being formed.
